Chapter 914 The best city in ancient Shu
Fu Ya died, and she died very ugly, with almost no clothes on her body. Before her death, she was in a mess because of Bi Xiu's violence.
Xuan Tianming ordered his soldiers: "When you enter the city later, take the woman's body and go back to pay tribute to Mrs. Yao."
At the same time, Bi Xiu's death also caused chaos in the morale of the Gu Shu. No one expected that their general would die so happily under such circumstances. At present, the Dashun Army was outside the city and could attack in anytime and anywhere. Under the shadow of the sky thunder, they had no power to fight back. Even the general was desperate, retreating step by step, and preparing to retreat anytime and anywhere.
The soldiers were not stupid either. The head coach died. The deputy general looked at this movement and wanted to run away. So they were even more fucked? Let's just run together! So, before the Dashun army attacked the city, the ancient Shu army had already made their own decision to retreat from the south gate of Yueping City. Before retreating, they didn't even have the granary before they retreated, for fear that the Dashun army would come in and bombard them all with heavenly thunder.
But in fact, the Dashun Army outside the city did not take the initiative to attack. They just walked forward for a distance and listened carefully to the movement inside outside the city gate. Of course, some spies climbed over the city wall and went to the city to inquire about the movements. Until the ancient Shu army retreated, they opened the city gate from inside and respectfully welcomed the Dashun Army in.
The reason why we do not attack Yueping City like the previous two cities, apart from what Feng Yuheng said, this place is too far from Lanzhou, the blue bricks are not lucky, and the manpower is not easy to transport, the main reason is the unique geographical location and appearance of Yueping City.
Unlike the two cities of Shaping Jueping, Yueping City is also built on water, but the water is not a stream surrounded by the city, but a large desert lake. It can be said that the entire Yueping City is a huge oasis, and the center of the city is the Tamsui Lake. There are all kinds of desert flowers and trees around the lake, and there are all kinds of fruit trees in the city. It can even be planted in small crops in the oasis, which is enough for Yueping City people to be self-sufficient. It can be said that Yueping City is the best and largest city in ancient Shu, but its location is a bit far from the center of ancient Shu, so ancient Shu did not build Kyoto in this city.
Xuan Tianming had known the situation of Yueping City and had no intention of destroying it. He hoped to take over the city peacefully, whether it was for that oasis or the people, he could negotiate with it in a relatively gentle manner. It would be better if the mines and mines were not used in Yueping City or not.
This idea coincides with the people of Yueping City! For many years, the people of Yueping City have lived the most comfortable life, and other cities still need to be traded by the court and Dashun to distribute food. For Yueping City, relying on such a large oasis, they have to be self-sufficient in everything, and they do not ask for anything. They are naturally happy with peace and hate war. When the ancient Shu army was driven to Yueping City, the prefect of Yueping City would not even want to open the city gate for Na Xiong.
Finally, Bi Xiu died, the ancient Shu army ran away, and now the Dashun army entered the city, the people of Yueping City were all worried about whether the Dashun people were like the ancient Shu army. When they entered the city, they only knew how to destroy and rob? If that was the case, they would just snatch their lives and fight to the end. But if not, if the Dashun people could treat this city gently, they would be willing to accept Dashun's control unconditionally. For the people of Yueping City, it doesn't matter who is the emperor. As long as Yueping City is still there, as long as they can give them the peace and freedom they are used to and can let them live as carefree as before, that's fine. They will not be loyal to anyone, they are only loyal to their own hearts and only loyal to the side who is good to them.
Gu Ya, the governor of Yueping City, walked on the street first to welcome Xuan Tianming's army. He was neither humble nor arrogant, but bowed his hands and told him the thoughts of the people of Yueping City. Xuan Tianming laughed loudly, and was not too vain. He only told him the governance plan of Shaping Jueping and the current living conditions of the people, and told him: "If you don't believe it, I can send someone a group of Yueping City people to Shaping and Jueping to see them. After they come back, they will tell themselves what they have seen."
Gu Ya is a person who is safe in doing things. When he heard that Xuan Tianming proposed this plan, he immediately nodded in agreement. He was also an action faction and ordered the people of Pingcheng for ten months on the spot, asking Xuan Tianming to send people to the two cities as soon as possible for investigation. Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng also had some observations on the way the prefect acted. Among the ten people he picked, there were young people, old people, men and women, and five or six years old. Such personnel distribution was very reliable. Young people, old people, men and women had their own needs, and they all saw and viewed from different angles. The children's eyes and thoughts were the most intuitive and would not lie. With such a team to investigate, the most real intelligence must be brought back.
Feng Yuheng nodded, thinking that this prefect is really a useful talent.
Xuan Tianming also thought so. He agreed very happily and handed over some things to Xi Fang himself to do. He would send people out of the city early tomorrow morning, which also made the people of Yueping City feel a little relieved.
The Dashun Army emphasized order and did not stay too much after entering the city. Most of the people walked out along the southern city gate. They stopped ten miles away from the southern suburbs and immediately set up camp.
Yueping City was taken down without any use. The soldiers were still in strength, so they quickly set up their camp before dawn in case that a new round of heat will invade tomorrow after the sun rises tomorrow.
In addition, a small number of soldiers stayed in the city. They did not take care of themselves first. Instead, they cleaned up the end of the matter left by the soldiers of ancient Shu at this time, and then registered the damaged houses and buildings, and told the people not to worry, and they would repair them together tomorrow. All the damage caused by the ancient Shu army to Yueping City will be maintained by Dashun, and the people do not need to waste money and damage the people.
Before this, the ancient Shu army had been camping in the city, with hundreds of thousands of people pouring in, causing the city to be incredible. Even the main streets were tents, and people had nowhere to walk during the day. With the large lake in the middle, the ancient Shu people even surrounded the lake, and the vegetables and fruits growing by the lake were ruined.
Feng Yuheng felt distressed when he saw it, and gritted his teeth and said to Xuan Tianming: "If you have the chance, I must steal a hand in the Ancient Shu Palace. This account must be settled with Ancient Shu. We won't pay for Ancient Shu."
Xuan Tianming agreed with this matter, and even wanted to try to steal the Ancient Shu Palace. If Feng Yuheng had not had limited space, he really wanted to emptie the Ancient Shu Palace.
The people of Yueping City saw the military style and discipline of the Dashun Army, and were completely relieved. They knew that this was an army completely different from the ancient Shu army. They thought for the people, and did not destroy every tree and grass here, and even actively participated in the repair. The soldiers sighed at the damaged trees beside the oasis. The prefect Gu Ya followed along, and also investigated all the way, and took all the words and deeds of the Dashun Army in his eyes and hearts. He couldn't help but sigh silently, no wonder everyone said Dashun was good, no wonder Dashun could occupy the richest and largest land in the world, which seemed to be unreasonable. Only a kind and tolerant country could accept all the wealth and honor of the people. Only the strictest military discipline could cultivate the most moral and loving soldiers.
Gu Ya gave a deep tribute to Xuan Tianming, and said nothing, but expressed his most sincere surrender.
Xuan Tianming did not advocate that he would recognize Dashun so quickly, but told him seriously: "When people come back from Shaping Jueping City, you can listen to it. The most important thing is that you also analyze and analyze where we have done poorly in those two cities. I am very happy to accept the opinions you put forward and implement them effectively. After all, we Dashun people have not ruled the desert and are not very adaptable to the environment on this side. We need the assistance of the prefect."
Na Gu Ya was also stunned and asked, "Do you still need help from a villain? When Dashun's army entered the city, Yueping City no longer belonged to ancient Shu, so the villain naturally could not afford to be the prefect. It should be better for Dashun to send someone to manage it, and the villain would be a commoner, which is only natural." I didn't hear that the new lord entered the city and used the officials left by the old lord. Although he was from ancient Shu, he had also heard of the so-called "one emperor and one minister" in the other end of the Central Plains, and he willingly followed it.
But Xuan Tianming shook his head and said, "I never thought of changing you. Although the prefects of Shaping and Jueping were replaced, it was because the original officials' ability was not enough to allow him to continue to sit in that position, so I changed it just so that the people of the two cities could live better than before. But since I entered the city, I saw your words and deeds, but it was different from the prefects of the two cities. Your ability was enough to support the rise of this city and enough to allow this city to have the ability to be reborn after being persecuted. I believe in you."
The saying "I believe in you" makes Guya feel excited. He has been the prefect of Yueping City for fifteen years. To be honest, he can't bear to leave this people. He still has so many good ideas to implement in the city and so many ideas to experiment in the city. He also wants the people to live a better life. He even thought that one day he could go far away to Dashun and bring the culture on the other end of Dashun to Yueping City, and bring more and better fruit and vegetable seeds on the other end of Dashun to see if he can plant it in the fields next to the oasis. If he retreated from the position of prefect because of this battle, those ideas would never have the chance to be implemented.
Now that Xuan Tianming asked him to continue to serve as the prefect, Gu Ya was so happy that she burst into tears. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times to Xuan Tianming. He didn't make any promises, but said to Xuan Tianming: "Please give me half a year. If your Highness thinks it is not suitable in half a year, just replace me."
Xuan Tianming nodded and said nothing more. He then took the camel and took Feng Yuheng's hand and started walking around the oasis.
Gu Ya didn't follow him tactfully, but looked from afar as the two men were walking by the lake in Yueping City in red wedding robes, laughing and playing occasionally, and the woman would climb onto the man's back. When she got down, she would go to the lake to hold a handful of clear water and drink it, with a smile on her face.
