He Dongning rode on horseback, slowly following the main force, looking at Xiao Yunzhan and the military advisor in front of him, pointing at the road and whispering something.
He listened for a moment and it seemed that Prince Yongchang wanted to build a road.
This road leads to Pingliang City, and he agreed to build it.
On his way from Pingliang City to Shuitian City, he encountered deep pits several times, which almost threw him off his horse.
"General Long, building roads is a good thing that benefits both the country and the people. The people of Pingliang City and Shuitian City are blessed..."
He Dongning looked at Lin Yiran with a smile.
He also secretly wanted Prince Yongchang to repair the road in Pingliang City.
This can greatly save travel time.
The road from Pingliang City to Pinghe City is even more difficult to travel. The imperial court has never allocated funds for road construction, and the road surface is in a mess.
Prince Yongchang and General Long are husband and wife. If General Long had mentioned this to Prince Yongchang, perhaps...
Lin Yiran looked ahead and smiled faintly.
"Once we capture Pinghe City, we will naturally have to repair the road."
It's easy to take down Pinghe City.
The prefect of Pinghe City and Xiao Yunzhan were close friends. Last time in the study, he had already tacitly agreed to Xiao Yunzhan's rebellion and supported it.
However, the officials in Pinghe City are not as easy to deal with as those in Pingliang City. They still need to be intimidated and attacked.
“Naturally, naturally…”
He Dongning nodded happily when he heard that there was hope.
With the hundreds of thousands of troops in Shuitian City, it would be easy to capture Pinghe City.
However, if we want to attack the capital, we still lack the military strength.
As far as he knew, there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers stationed near the capital, hundreds of thousands more in the south, and no less in the north...
Although there is a drought now and the military strength of Daliang State is a bit weak, all the soldiers of Daliang State add up to millions, and the total number is not weak at all.
10 people against 1 person, no matter how powerful the God Army is, the losses will not be small.
If both sides suffer losses, the neighboring countries will benefit.
Xiliang State has always been eyeing Daliang State covetously. If Xiliang State takes the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, the people of Daliang State will suffer.
If Prince Yongchang could have attacked the capital in one go before Emperor Wu of Liang could react, a lot of losses could have been reduced.
However, Shuitian City is too far away from the capital. It would take at least a month to travel there even if one travels non-stop, not to mention that one would have to attack each city one by one.
It would take at least half a year. With such a long time, Emperor Wu of Liang would have already gathered his troops.
"Master He, are there many refugees left in Pingliang City recently?"
Yao Wenhong glanced sideways at He Dongning.
From now on, Pingliang City will be under the management of her and her sister-in-law, so she has to communicate more with Lord He.
He Dongning smiled and glanced at the Iron-blooded General beside Lin Yiran.
"When I left, there were already over 10,000 refugees left in Pingliang City, and I'm afraid there are even more now."
"Four out of ten refugees will stay in Pingliang City, and six will go to Shuitian City."
"Especially after hearing that Shuitian City had received a sweet rain, more refugees headed to Shuitian City."
“Those who remain in Pingliang City are mostly the elderly, the weak, women and children, as they simply can’t walk any more.”
If Pingliang City didn't have the water and food, the people wouldn't have stayed.
They all saw the miracle of the God King sending down food from other cities, "Eat his mother, drink his mother, the God King has come to Luofan City, take refuge with the God King and you will have food to eat."
So everyone gritted their teeth and rushed to Shuitian City, and all the young and strong people went to Shuitian City.
God has given us instructions. If we don’t seize the opportunity, we will regret it later.
Fortunately, he has always had a good relationship with the Xiao family and chose to take sides at the first opportunity.
Given his situation at the time, if he didn't follow the Xiao family, he would have starved to death along with the people of the entire city.
By then, Pingliang City will be empty and will still be easily taken by the Xiao family. It is better to take advantage of this opportunity to surrender and allow the people to survive.
Yao Wenhong nodded.
"It just so happens that we can recruit some more female soldiers."
The number of female soldiers is still too small. There should be at least 20,000 female soldiers.
The salary for soldiers is so high. If we just spread the word, I believe more women will choose to join the army.
He Dongning glanced back at the long line of female cavalrymen behind him and grinned.
"We can recruit quite a few female soldiers. Pingliang City is now practically a women's city. The streets are almost entirely filled with women."
There was no other way. Any man with a little strength could crawl to Shuitian City.
The woman had to stay to take care of the elderly and children. It was too difficult to go to Shuitian City with her family, so she had to settle for staying in Pingliang City.
Yao Wenhong laughed when he heard this.
"That would be great. I'll have to trouble Master He to notify all the city's bookkeepers to help register it."
"The distribution of salaries also needs to be registered with the chief clerk. The detailed process will be discussed with him when he arrives."
"It's my duty. General Tiexue, please let me know if you have anything to say." He Dongning nodded repeatedly, feeling very happy.
He had seen the salaries of the soldiers in Shuitian City, and they were really generous.
If one person in each household serves in the army, the salary is enough to feed the family for a month, so his pressure is not so great.
