Chapter 2660 Hou Chu retreats ([-])

However, Jun Lintian's suggestion touched the minds of many ministers. After all, now is not the time for peace.

The more people there are, the more burdens and food there will be.

If more than half of the people can be left behind, their burden can be greatly reduced.

Just like this, can that still be called moving the capital?

"This official disagrees!" Someone said, "The people are the foundation of the country, and they must not be shaken."

"Hmph, why not? These common people will starve to death after following us. Does your lord have extra food for the common people?"

As soon as these words came out, the adults who spoke were immediately blocked from speaking.

"This... hey... it's just that if we abandon the common people and flee with only a small number of people, what will the common people say about us when they find out in the future?"

"Don't you forget that there are still people in the Jin Dynasty, but they just changed a group of people, and it will never hurt the root."

"What about this side, how should we explain it?"

"What is there to explain? As long as we are ready, we will retreat quietly. For the common people, we never need to explain."

……

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, as if they were thinking about the possibility.

Indeed, leaving overnight under military escort probably required no explanation to them.

"Now there is another question, will the joint army of the Tang Dynasty and the Liang Dynasty slaughter the city?"

"This one……"

Everyone is a little uncertain, but so far, it seems that they have not heard the news of their massacre of the city.

"No, don't worry. Besides, haven't we already decided? Now because of a few ordinary people, we have given up the plan. Isn't this going to kill me?"

"Correct!"

Soon, a group of ministers discussed the result.

They decided to take a small part of the city name overnight and leave under the protection of the army.

The people I was lucky enough to be taken away by them are all wealthy people.

The poor people who really have no money and no food are all left here.

It was night, and the court of Later Chu issued an order that it was strictly forbidden to go out, otherwise there would be no mercy.

The common people were already frightened. Who would dare to resist after hearing this order?
That night, they could only hear all kinds of rustling noises. Although they were not obvious, they frightened them even more so that they dare not act rashly.

But they didn't know that at this moment, they had been abandoned by Hou Chu.

The next day, when the people came out of their homes, they realized that the streets seemed extraordinarily cold, and some people in the city seemed to have evaporated overnight.

"What the hell happened?"

"I don't know... It seems that many people have disappeared!"

"Gone?"

"Yes! Lord Gao and Lord Li's mansions are usually visited by people early on, but at this time today, you haven't opened the closed gate yet."

"Hiss... this is really strange..."

……

A few days later, those high-ranking households never opened again.

A terrifying thought came to their minds, could it be that they are all gone? !

Then they dismissed the idea, how could this be possible.

It was only at this time that everyone realized that even the people guarding the city gate and the patrol battalion hadn't seen it.

The gates of the entire Xiliang City were left open like this, and hot winds poured in from all directions, making everyone's hearts chill.
