"Wenyuan, how's it going here?"
"General, the situation in Qiemo has stabilized. The reinforcements have already left, and we can now send our troops to Loulan."
"Okay, the top priority this time is to capture Loulan. How's the situation over there?"
"Loulan is now under joint management. There are approximately 500,000 people in the city, all of whom were brought in from the slums of the Western Regions. And the number is constantly increasing. This is the best way the Western Regions have come up with to eliminate the poor population."
Fengyun interrupted directly:
"Let's talk about military matters. We can discuss these matters after we capture Loulan."
"Yes, Loulan currently has a total of 50,000 troops, all of whom are mobilized by various countries to manage the poor. If these poor people weren't so prone to causing trouble, I don't think they would bother to send troops here."
Fengyun nodded.
"Well, this means that Loulan has actually been abandoned by the Western Regions, or it is just a poor shelter."
"Yes, these poor people can only rely on their own hands to survive. No country will help them, and they even have to pay taxes to other countries. However, the competition in Loulan is not yet fierce, so they live much better than in their previous countries."
"This is a bit difficult to deal with. If life gets worse and worse, we can still handle it. But if the original people of Loulan come in, they will probably lose their original land immediately."
Fengyun had to worry about this problem.
These are 500,000 people. If one of them is not properly resolved, public morale will decline.
If the temperature drops a little bit every day for several months in a row, riots will immediately break out in the city.
Once the suppression of the mob begins, this situation will not decrease but will increase.
Just like the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the Han Dynasty.
After it was suppressed, it not only failed to stop other people from rebelling, but in the end everyone stood up together to overthrow it.
Fengyun doesn't want this to happen.
But at this time, there was joy in Marbury's eyes.
He immediately said:
"My lord, this is a great thing."
"How do you say that?"
Fengyun wanted him to tell him what was confusing him.
"My lord, the people of Loulan don't want to return to Yongning Town. They now consider themselves Han citizens. They are unwilling to come over even if you ask them to. So after we take Loulan, let them continue to live there. No one will compete with them for land."
"Really?"
"Yes, what I said is true. My lord, if you don't believe me, go ask the king."
Fengyun was overjoyed and sent a pigeon letter immediately.
He soon got the answer, which was similar to what Marbury said.
These people don't want to go back to Loulan at all, they just want to live in Yongning.
There are so many adventurers coming and going here, which brings them very good income.
No one wants to go back there anymore.
Fengyun didn't care about it anymore and immediately asked the king to stop the relocation of the people.
When the former Loulan people learned that they would return to Yongning Town to continue their lives and that they would hardly be allowed to return to Loulan, they jumped for joy in public.
Now the king had to arrange for these people to return to Loulan.
And he only needs to come to Loulan alone.
After all, he is still the king of Loulan.
Then his million-strong army will have to be dispatched.
This time Feng Yun left Zhang Liao and Zhang Yan's cavalry in Qiemo.
Just let Marbury's million infantry go and besiege the city.
Ma Chao was naturally needed for the siege. A few days later, the army arrived at Loulan City.
The 50,000 defenders in the city stood on the city wall and trembled.
"Enemy! Enemies are coming!"
"Where did the enemy come from? Why would Loulan still have enemies? Aren't all the people around here ours?"
"Who knows? Can't you see they have surrounded us?"
"What should we do now?"
"What should we do? Call for help! Send a large army to kill these daring individuals who dared to attack our coalition forces."
The defenders forgot to send out scouts to gather information.
In their minds, any country in the Western Regions could be attacked, except Loulan.
You have to know that this place is shared by everyone, and it is also a transfer station for the poor. Who would be stupid enough to make things difficult for themselves?
But today someone happened to come and cause trouble.
Although they were afraid when facing so many enemy troops, they always believed in their hearts that these people would be driven away soon.
But just when they thought they could hold out for a long time, the city gate was easily opened.
Countless enemies poured into Loulan City. The 50,000 defenders were not enough to withstand the attack of the million-strong army, so they surrendered.
They never figured out who would attack Loulan.
Fengyun didn't say anything to them and directly planned to reorganize the surrendered soldiers.
Then he immediately ordered Marbury and other generals to start training the soldiers.
And their current king has long disappeared without a trace.
In a few days, they will surely come to rescue us.
Fengyun hurriedly gathered the people in the city.
The people, who were already in a panic, are now even more anxious.
They feel like they might be driven away.
This is an extremely important matter to them and no one will miss it.
As a result, the originally spacious Loulan Square was almost filled with countless heads.
Fengyun saw that the time was almost up, so he spoke.
"Everyone! I know you were driven to Loulan from the countries in the Western Regions. Here you have your own families, your own farmland, and even your own houses. I know you don't want to lose everything you have now... But..."
Fengyun paused here.
This immediately made the people's hearts rise to their throats.
Seeing that the people were so concerned about their property, Fengyun was very satisfied with their expressions and continued:
"But these things will be yours in the future. Our arrival won't change anything. Our presence will only make you better."
When the people heard this, they cheered.
Someone had prepared rotten eggs in advance, and there was no place to recognize the orchid leaves.
Everyone cried with joy, hugged each other, and ran around to tell others to express their happiness.
Fengyun didn't say anything else, that was about it.
The system of Loulan Kingdom will naturally be re-established in the future, but this matter has little to do with current interests. Although there may be conflicts of interest, they can all be adjusted.
And Loulan will only get better and better in the future.
With Fengyun's support, it would be hard for them not to be better.
After taking Loulan, Fengyun completely adopted a defensive posture. With six more countries at once, his talent pool was strained.
Or it is not a tight situation at all, but a shortage.
