King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 32
Li Lin frowned, "Oh? Are there any escapees from other counties?"

The county magistrate said, "This subordinate doesn't know yet, but there may be some in the village. After all, the leader is closer, and the number of people who escaped should be the most."

Li Lin asked again, "How many soldiers are there in the county, and how much food can we still have? How far is the enemy army from the city?"

Facing Li Lin’s repeated questions, the county magistrate was not too flustered, and said steadily, “There are 800 soldiers. After hearing that there will be a war, the subordinates urgently recruited 300 strong men. Try to be sufficient, enough for General Li’s soldiers and the soldiers in the city to maintain three soldiers. It's a month, and there are still three hundred miles away from the last horse-hunting report to the enemy, but that is already before sunset, but my subordinates think that the Koreans should not march at night."

Li Lin nodded, thinking 'huh, subordinate!I should be younger than you by calculation, but who makes me the master of this war!It seems that you are not a poor person, and you still know about the affairs of the county.'

Li Lin shook his hand and said, "Thank you, magistrate, go down first, let the soldiers hurry up and prepare the equipment for defending the city, and discuss the rest tomorrow."

The county magistrate still had the heart to eat and drink with Li Lin. Fang Fang, who was waving Li Lin's hand, was a man of few words.The county magistrate immediately changed his face when he left the house, looked back at Li Lin's room, and said softly, "Bah! You still want to guard the small town, I don't want the whole family to die with a fool like you , I won’t make trouble with you!” After speaking, he sniggered and walked away with big strides, throwing off his sleeves.

Li Lin was lying on the bed in the room thinking, unable to hug Liu Ying's jade body, Li Lin couldn't sleep because he couldn't get used to writing, and Fang Fang was still outside his door'This Korean and those prairie tigers People are different, they don't have any great advantages, and they should have some strength to deal with big men for so many years.All the soldiers that my uncle sent me this time are also veterans, and the recruits are only my original team, unless these Koreans have some resourcefulness to fool us, but this Korean is a stick after all, probably not What kind of resourcefulness is there, besides, this time it is defending the city, and it should be fine to resist it for a while.I just hope that the ebony in the north can quickly break through Goryeo, or that I can stop this one month before winter...'

Early the next morning, someone broke the tranquility of the morning. Xu Liang ran to Li Lin's residence, "General! General!"

Fang Fang stood at the door and kept guarding. When he saw someone coming, he immediately stopped him and said, "General Li slept very late last night, don't disturb him!"

Xu Liang said, "No, there is an urgent matter!" After finishing speaking, the door of the room opened immediately, and Li Lin, with bloodshot eyes, came out and said, "What's the matter? Korean soldiers are approaching the city?"

Xu Liang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "No, the county magistrate and some major officials in the city ran out of Daifang City with their family members! The gate guards are all soldiers from Daifang City, without us people, so they ran away without being hindered at all."

Li Lin wasn't too panicked, he shook his hands and said, "It's okay! Just run away, and now we are the real masters of bringing Fangcheng!"

Xu Liang frowned and said, "But the general's behavior has greatly affected the morale of our army and the hearts of the people in the city."

Li Lin thought for a while and said, "Immediately order Tai Shici to take people to personally check Li's money and food in the treasury. Xu Liang, you take people to resettle the civilians and the refugees who fled back. Then order Zhao Hu to replace the soldiers on the top of the wall with our own people, and I will deal with it as soon as I wash my face."

After Li Lin ordered Xu Liang, he immediately ran to do things. When Li Lin returned to the room, he was so angry that he was very stable just now when he spoke to Xu Liang so calmly. What happened to Li Lin, he immediately pushed the door and approached, only to see Li Lin sitting on a stool dressed in a grand style, next to a table with his butt facing up.

Not long after, Li Lin was already standing at the top of the city to inspect. Xu Liang, Tai Shici, and Zhao Hu ran up to the top of the city and bowed their hands together.

"General! The people have been resettled, and all the refugees have been resettled in the east of the city!"

Li Lindao: "The curfew will be enforced from today onwards. After You hour, if civilians appear in the streets and are found by the patrolling soldiers, they will be killed immediately."

"General! I have carefully counted the military rations in the treasury in the city and there is no decrease at all, but the money is almost gone."

Li Lin shook his head and smiled and said, "Hehe, I had expected it a long time ago. I originally wanted to kill the county magistrate in the future. Ziyi sent people to order the counties along the way to the north, and found that the officials who fled in Daifang City were killed on the spot. Money and food will be confiscated!"

"General! All the soldiers at the top of the city have been replaced. The [-] soldiers in the city, including the Huotou army, have all assembled in the school grounds in the city. I also found out that the strong men selected by the county magistrate were all from other schools. The soldiers who escaped from the county, I also gathered them together."

Li Lin said, "Okay! Now go to the school grounds to rectify morale."

When everyone came to the school grounds, Li Lin didn't have a serious face, but stood on the stage with a natural expression, facing the eight hundred soldiers who led Fangcheng, and the hundreds of soldiers who fled back, shouting loudly.

"Soldiers! I think you already know that many officials in the city have fled this morning!"

In a word, there was already a lot of commotion in the crowd, and everyone was discussing, Li Lin stretched out his hands and made a stop gesture.

Li Lin said, "I know, you are very worried now, and I can tell you something you shouldn't know. Our enemy troops will attack us several times, and the officials in the city escaped because they knew about it."

Li Lin's second sentence has made many people look scared. Li Lin said, "I told you not to scare you, but to let you know. As long as you know, we will be defeated. We are Heroes, future generations will be proud of us, but we are afraid, this is the real shame! You do not deserve to have the noble blood of our Han people, are you scared when you see these barbarians? You are cowards, bears, even if you really Successfully escaped, and your descendants will be ashamed of you! Remember we are soldiers!"

Li Lin looked at the excited soldiers and said excitedly, "Behind you are tens of thousands of people in the city. How many of you have your own family in the city?"

After hearing this, many soldiers raised their hands and shouted, "I have it! I have it!"

Li Lin nodded and said, "Okay! Let me tell you, you are not fighting for the court, nor for me. You are fighting for yourselves, for your own wives and children, not to mention persecution. You promise that even if you are killed on the battlefield, your family will definitely receive pensions, parents, wives and children will be taken care of this time, and will be allocated fields, do you think you are willing to work for me?"

"Willing to fight to the death! Willing to fight to the death!" All the soldiers shouted impassionedly.

"Okay! You guys go down and rest first, and wait for the moment when you make contributions." After speaking, Li Lin waved his hand, and then said to Tai Shici, "Have trouble with their rules." Tai Shici nodded, and Zhao Hu said, "Go and call the soldiers who escaped." The one with the highest rank brought me here for questioning." Zhao Hu nodded.

Li Lin thought for a while and said to Xu Liang, "You go and post the notice and supervise it. The people in the city are those who have a strong family, but each family that participates in the war will be exempted from tax for three years. If they die in the war, the family will be given three acres of heaven and earth. Then order the refugees in the city. If I can move, the old man and the child will move the equipment to the top of the city for me. If you don’t want to do it, don’t dare to leave them. Tell them that they will have no relief food from now on, and I will not support useless people. !"

Xu Liang is a very insightful person. He has been with Li Lin for so long and knows Li Lin's temper, so he often speaks out, and this time is no exception. He frowned and said, "General, is there something wrong with this?" , so that the refugees in the city will be dissatisfied."

Li Lindao: "Hmph! Dissatisfaction, now I have the final say, there is not much food in the city, these more than 6000 mouths can't eat for free, let's ask them to do some work within their power in exchange for food. Get out of the city, Xu Liang is about to fight, so he can't be soft-hearted."

Xu Liangliang nodded and said seriously, "Yes, we promise to complete it!" After speaking, he ran away.

This is still a soldier running over in a hurry, clasped his fists and said, "General, the scout horse is back. The enemy army is still 150 miles away from the city!"

Li Lin nodded and said, "Well, I see, if there is any news, report it directly, you don't need to report it." The soldier ran away in a hurry when he heard the news
Li Lin looked at the scattered soldiers, and he was extremely excited. In the deserted school grounds, he was left alone and Fang Fang was by his side to protect him.
Li Lin thought to himself, 'Bring Fang!This word has been an important town against foreigners since the Western Han Dynasty. When the big Han was still powerful, there were a lot of troops stationed here, and it was an important town. How dare these small countries of the Three Koreas come to invade. Now the big Han is already on the verge of collapse, and these small countries are like clowns. Come and make a fortune, huh, huh, fuck it! '

This is Zhao Hu leading a soldier to Li Lin's side. Tai Shici clasped his fists and said, "General, this is the head of the village who ran back from Hanzi City. He is already the biggest among these hundreds of soldiers."

Li Lin nodded. This Hanzi is a small town, and the head of the village is already a high-ranking official. The man said, "General, I am Wang Er, the head of Hanzi City."

Li Lindao: "You're welcome, tell me what you know." He cursed in his heart; you fucking magistrate said you recruited a strong man, fortunately I checked, otherwise I will remember you That's it.

Wang Er aggrieved and said, "General, those officials are too useless. They ran away before seeing the enemy's shadow. We soldiers defending the city have no backbone, so we can still fight. In addition, the number of enemies is too large." If there were too many, those we could escape escaped, and many of them were caught up and killed by the enemy on the way."
