Volume Sixteen Han and Tang Dynasties Chapter 1518 Abandoned City
Qin Ming has a very tough life. This ability must be a general. Well, this should be a very important ability. A short-lived general will not develop much even if he is talented.
He was shot three times, two of which were on the vital point. Qin Ming was not dead, but he actually woke up the next day. After receiving the news, Hu You came to Qin Ming's room as soon as possible.
"I knew you wouldn't die." Hu You was obviously relieved when he said this. He has received too much bad news one after another in the past few days. If Qin Ming's death was added at this time, it would definitely not be good news for Hu You.
"I also know that I can't die, just like before." Qin Ming moved. Although he woke up, the injuries on his body were still very serious, and it was still impossible to get up.
"Hu You, you must give up Greentown!" This is the second sentence Qin Ming said to Hu You after waking up. He was very serious when he said this, without any joking.
"Do you think so too?" Hu You was not surprised that Qin Ming would say so at all.
Qin Ming nodded and said, "I think you should have considered this possibility. If it were a few days ago, I wouldn't say such things, but now I want to say: Li Chenggong and Shi Chuanshui are very powerful. With your current strength in Greentown, you can't fight with them!"
"I know." Hu You sighed long. "Give up Greentown, where can I go?" Hu You seemed to be asking Qin Ming, or asking himself.
From a rational point of view, giving up Greentown is definitely a very correct approach. But if Langtian City is gone, and giving up Greentown is the base, for Hu You, there is no place he can go in the world. It can be foreseen that giving up Greentown will once again bring serious blows to his reputation, and it will be even more difficult to restore the support of the people of the past.
Qin Ming said: "No matter where you go, you can't stay. As the saying goes, you don't have to worry about the lack of firewood. If you are worried that your withdrawal will damage your reputation, you don't have to consider this issue. First, if you defend Greentown, the final result will not change much. Second, with your current reputation, those who are willing to work with you will still follow you. Those who are unwilling to follow you will still not follow you. In fact, there is not much difference."
Qin Ming rarely says so many things to Hu You in one go. It should be a happy thing for Hu You to say such things from Qin Ming's mouth.
"Qin Ming, have you ever told you that you have become different from before?" Hu You suddenly changed the subject.
Qin Ming glanced at Hu You. He knew that Hu You already had his own answer, so there was no need for him to say anything more.
"People always change, are you different? I have already said what I want to say. I'm a little tired and want to take a break." Qin Ming closed his eyes and lay quietly.
Hu You smiled and said, "Then you have a good rest. I hope you can get better soon. I need you!"
After helping Qin Ming to tidy up the quilt, Hu You did not leave immediately. Instead, he sat in front of Qin Ming's bed for a while, then sighed lightly and ordered the medical staff to take good care of Qin Ming, then he left Qin Ming's house with a slightly heavy pace.
"I originally wanted to persuade you, but it seems that you have made a decision." Ouyang Hanbing sat down beside Hu You. She analyzed the current situation and knew that her current strength could not face the people of Shi Chuanshui.
"This is a difficult decision. Hanbing, will you blame me?" Hu You knew that Ouyang Hanbing's face was relaxed, and his heart was absolutely important. Greentown is her home and the only place that Ouyang Putin left for her with memories. If you give up like this, no one will be reluctant to let go of it... Reason and feelings are often contradictory. To say that giving up Greentown or even giving up Ning Nan is a correct decision, but emotionally speaking, no one wants to do that.
Ouyang Hanbing leaned into Hu You's arms, hugged Hu You's waist lightly, and buried her head in Hu You's arms. Giving up Greentown was not a difficult decision for her. While persuading Hu You, she felt absolutely unhappy.
"No, I won't blame you. Rou'er won't, neither of us." Ouyang Hanbing murmured in Hu You's arms.
"Hanbing, I promise you that sooner or later, I will bring Greentown back!" Hu You rarely made any vows, but this time he was absolutely serious.
"I know, I know."
Since I have decided to leave, there is not so much time to be sad. I can still walk early, but I can't walk late.
Hu You didn't want to think about what kind of difficulties the people in Greentown would encounter and what their lives would become when he took people away from Greentown and stopped the construction of artificial rivers.
This is no longer something he can do. Even if he stays here and doesn't leave, it will not be of any benefit to the people of Greentown.
"I'm not the savior, I'm not."
Hu You can only use this sentence to comfort himself now.
The evacuation of the army is much easier than that of ordinary people moving. When they came to Greentown from Langtian, they didn’t have much stuff. Now they don’t need to bring too much stuff with them.
"It's time for us to leave." Hu You said to his generals.
Zhebei, Harrison, and Chen Dali were all watching Hu You. They could see Hu You's sadness, although Hu You was not willing to show his emotions in this aspect.
The army began to move and walked out of the city through the south gate. They didn't know where their destination was this time, and in fact Hu You didn't know now. For the first time, Hu You lost his direction, but he believed that he could get better soon.
"Where are we going?" Ouyang Shuixian couldn't help asking. She had no objection to Hu You's decision to give up Greentown, and she was just a little reluctant now.
"Go to Dragon City!" Hu You told Ouyang Shuixian. The direction they went out of the south gate was to Mandala. The Immortal Legion was established and developed in Mandala. After the establishment of the Han and Tang Empire, perhaps from the beginning, it was a mistake for them to come to Ningnan.
"Dragon City is a good place." Ouyang Shui Narcissus is not unfamiliar with Mandala's former country. She has lived there and knows that it is a place as beautiful as Greentown.
"Yes, that's a good place." Hu You smiled and cried. It's not the time for him to cry.
"Hu You actually has such courage." Li Chenggong was very surprised when he received the news that Hu You gave up Greentown. He thought Hu You would force him and would even wait until they launched an attack before leaving.
"Hu You is a courageous person, always." Shi Chuanshui said lightly. Shi Chuanshui was very happy to have an opponent like Hu You.
"Do we want to pursue?" Li Chenggong was a little unwilling to let Hu You go. It is often troublesome to fight a snake or not to kill it.
"Chasing?" Shi Chuanshui shook his head and said, "Hu You gave us Green City, just to prevent us from chasing him. Then a city was given to us like this. Shouldn't we let him go?"
Li Chenggong said: "That's how you think?"
Shi Chuanshui sighed and said, "Of course not. If there is a chance, I will definitely kill Hu You and not give him any more chances. But now is not the time when we should chase him. He took the initiative to withdraw this time. Although we have to be much stronger in terms of firepower, Hu You must have arrangements along the way. If you catch up like this, it will not be a big advantage for us, but..." Li Chenggong said, "But you won't let him walk so easily, right?"
"Hahaha...you know me, I'm about to discuss this with you. I plan to send a hundred people to have fun with Hu You."
"Your move is really poisonous." Li Chenggong laughed and said, "If this matter is spread, how do people in the world look at Hu You? Hahaha... It feels very interesting to think about it. I agree with your idea!"
Li Chenggong and Shi Chuanshui are people from the same world as Hu You. They have received strict military training and have powerful weapons. It can be said that they are stronger than Hu You in all aspects. Before, Hu You was able to do something in the Tianfeng Continent because they did not take action. Now they are starting to move, and Hu You will have a hard time.
The two were very happy to discuss their plans after taking down Greentown. This would be the first city they owned after they made efforts, and there could be many plans to implement here.
In fact, it is not too bad for Hu You to take the initiative to give up Greentown. Greentown is a commercial city and does not have much strategic resources here. Shi Chuanshui and the others will not have more military development when they get Greentown.
Another point is that Shi Chuanshui and others have a base, they will no longer run around like before and will not be able to grasp their movements.
Of course, these are all future strategic arrangements. Now, Hu You lost a game and handed over an important town to others.
The Lord of Yicheng is still very attractive to Shi Chuanshui and Li Chenglai. This is the first time they have their own territory.
"Shi Chuanshui sent a hundred people to chase him behind!" Zhebei reported the latest intelligence report to Hu You.
"Same as I thought." Hu You smiled faintly and said, "Are Chen Dali ready?"
"It's ready and ready to act."
"Tell Chen Dali, eat as much as you can, and run away after you finish eating." Hu You's order was strange, but Zhebe could still understand. When they evacuated from Greentown, they had already expected that Shi Chuanshui would not let them leave so easily, and they would not wait for Shi Chuanshui to come and bite people, and they had already made arrangements in the morning.
Hu You didn't have the strength to eat all the stones and water. However, there is still a way to use the terrain to teach the stones and waters. After all, the gun is not omnipotent. When face-to-face, it is very powerful, but in other places, it is also when it cannot play a role.
Zhe left without taking the order, and the smile on Hu You's face disappeared within a few seconds. This time he lost very much, and he would definitely find this scene back.
"Your Majesty, Miss Weiwei is here."
Weiwei's face was a little melancholy. In her opinion, Hu You had to give up Greentown this time, which was largely her fault. If she could create a powerful weapon for Hu You, Hu You would definitely not be so passive.
"Brother Hu You."
"Sit." There was no arrangement on the marching road. Hu You, the emperor of the Han and Tang dynasties, sat on the grass, and Weiwei had no other choice.
"You also know that the backwardness of weapons is the most difficult for us. Can you help us solve this problem?"
Hu You asked Weiwei straight to the point. Weiwei is a representative figure of Tang Hun’s military industry. He has been to the real world and studied there. If there is someone who can help Hu You now, then this person must be Weiwei.
Weiwei had already guessed that Hu You should be talking to her about this matter. She also wanted to tell Hu You some good news, but unfortunately she had no good news to tell Hu You now.
Weiwei said: "Using our current technology, we can produce guns in the same way, but we don't have the raw materials to make gunpowder and cannot make bullets." Hu You sighed: "It's useless to have guns without bullets, I understand."
"Brother Hu You, now we are not only bullets, but also five crossbows cannot be manufactured in large quantities. The Langtian City incident has caused us to lose a large number of craftsmen, and it will take time to train new craftsmen."
Weiwei was not willing to bother Hu Wu for more things at this time, but she had to say this.
"Well, I understand. I believe you will help me with all your strength in this regard, so I will leave it to you. Put the gun aside in advance, and the craftsman's affairs cannot be delayed."
Hu You knew very well that nothing could be produced without a craftsman. He called Weiwei here today, just to talk about this issue.
Hu You has decided to transfer 2,000 people from Harrison's 20,000 people to Weiwei, and ask Weiwei to teach them the production skills for later use.
"Brother Hu You, I will take care of it."
Of course, Weiwei would be attentive. Like Zhebiao, she had already regarded Hu You's affairs as her own. As long as Hu You said a word, she could even take her own life, let alone anything else.
Hu You smiled and said, "I know, you have never disappointed me. But doing it is doing it, and your body needs to pay more attention. You are my biggest support now, so you must not have anything to do, do you know?"
"I really can't figure it out!" Hou Baowu hummed in anger.
Tang Hun said lazily: "What do you have to understand?"
Hou Baowu will not have a drug addiction attack. He is still in good spirits, but he is not in such a good mood.
"I don't understand why His Majesty withdrew from Greentown so easily. Even if Shi Chuanshui and others have guns in their hands, we are not without the power to fight!"
Tang Hun said: "Then if you are replaced, what are you going to do?"
Hou Baowu said without thinking: "If it were me, there are at least two ways to fight them!"
"Which two, let's talk about it." Tang Hun sat up. As the drug addiction attack became less and less, his spirit began to recover, and his face looked much better than before.
Hou Baowu said: "The first method is naturally street fighting. If I were in command, I could put Shi Zhuanshui and others into the city. They were just a relatively strong weapon. When they entered the city, there were ordinary people everywhere and the road was not wide. The power of the weapon would be greatly reduced. It is not too difficult to kill them in close proximity."
Tang Hun did not say that Hou Baowu was wrong, nor did he say that he was right.
"What about the second solution?"
"The second method is to fight guerrilla warfare. Although this method is to give up Greentown, it is not really giving up, but letting go. We can temporarily give up Greentown, then ambush the water near Greentown, and give them a few more times. They are only one thousand people, and how many times can they die. Even if they can only kill ten of them every day, they will be wiped out at most a hundred days!"
Tang Hun listened quietly to Hou Baowu's words, and only then he finished speaking: "It's time for me to say a few words."
Hou Baowu glared and said, "Do you think I'm wrong?"
Tang Hun shook his head and said, "You can't say that, but there are a few aspects you haven't considered clearly. Let me ask you first, what should I do if the artificial river?"
Hou Baowu was stunned and asked, "What should I do if what artificial river is?"
Tang Hun said: "When fighting with Shi Chuanshui, can the artificial river project continue?"
"How can we continue the war?"
"Yes, the war cannot continue. You and I know this problem. Don't Your Majesty know? Now that Greentown has a water shortage, it won't take long to go, Greentown will be short of water in the whole city. If the artificial river can be completed as expected, it can also solve the danger of Greentown. But now there are strong enemies outside and a lot of opposition inside. In addition, the cement factory was destroyed by Li Chenggong and put into production. The artificial river is not possible to be completed in a short time!"
Hou Baowu said dissatisfiedly: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Tang Hun said: "I want to say that Your Majesty did not force him to give up Greentown, but instead handed Greentown to Shi Chuanshui and others. It was a town that would soon have water shortage. Shi Chuanshui took over Greentown. If the problem of water shortage cannot be solved, the people will definitely rebel against them. If they solved the water shortage of Greentown, Your Majesty would no longer have to have a headache about this problem. So you should understand."
Hou Baowu hesitated: "What you mean is that Greentown is a hot potato. His Majesty meant to give Shi Chuanshui and others on purpose."
"I didn't say this, you said it."
