Chapter 850 Hopeless City (118)
After entering the city, I discovered that this was indeed an almost abandoned dead city. It was very large. The soldiers circled the entire city all night long without completing it. The main building facing the city gate was the city's main building. Although it was very old, It is in disrepair, but from the tall red pillars and the magnificent gate, we can see the former glory and power of this place.
Other buildings spread out around this building. The houses in the city are neatly lined up, and almost all of them are empty. Burnt carriages and houses can be seen everywhere, and all kinds of dilapidated things are scattered on the ground. The roads are very wide, with a thousand people. The team didn't feel crowded at all when walking here.
The team was stationed in the main building that night.
There are still some elderly people living in the city, and there are a few children who follow the old people around and don't even smile.
Seeing Zhou Ye walking over with his troops, everyone trembled and huddled together. Looking at the group of old, weak, sick and disabled in front of them, someone in the army murmured.
"What kind of support do you need after this?"
What else needs to be defended in this broken city?
Wouldn't it be better if these old, weak, sick and disabled people were towed away in one car?
Zhou Ye said nothing and asked the old man Lu Qi to lead the group of people away.
Everyone can't understand the emperor's thoughts, but if support is needed here, just wait a few more days and see.
That night, everyone found an empty room to sleep in. Although it was also a bitterly cold place, it was much warmer compared to the border. What's more, you could sleep in a windproof and rainproof room with the bed underneath you. They are much softer than those in the military camp.
In this way, the entire army waited in the city for several days.
Calm and calm.
There is no need for support from below, and there are no instructions from above. After three days, some people will inevitably murmur in their hearts.
"What time are you wasting here if you don't go home..."
Someone quietly approached old man Lu Qi and asked.
"What is the general's order now? Are you just waiting here?"
The old man squinted his eyes and shook his head.
"I don't know, but this is the emperor's order. You should rest, sleep here for a few days, eat and drink as you should, and listen to the general's orders."
The old man listened to the general in everything, and he didn't expect to get an answer when he asked him. He mainly wanted to use his words to help convey everyone's thoughts. Sure enough, Lu Qi found Zhou Ye that night.
"Everyone wants to go home, hey..."
He couldn't say anything more, after all, Zhou Ye followed orders.
Zhou Ye sat on a chair and looked at a map of the city. After listening to the old man's words, she silently put down the map, with a hint of exhaustion in her eyes.
"Who asked?"
The old man shook his head.
"You don't care who asked why, that's what everyone means."
"This is a military order."
"Yes, yes, there are military orders. It's not too late, don't stare at this map, and go to bed quickly."
Zhou Ye didn't reply. The old man knew that this girl was annoyed.
"Hey..."
With a sigh, the door to the study was gently closed.
Zhou Ye put down the map in his hand and looked out the window.
It was dark and there was no light at all. It was too quiet here. There were no sad and distant howls, nor the strong and powerful shouts during night training. For some reason, Zhou Ye felt that it was even quieter here than outside the country. cold.
Ten days have passed.
The army stayed in this empty city for ten days, without any enemy invasion or instructions from the emperor.
It was obviously very close to home, but the smiles on everyone's faces were reduced a lot. The messenger came and took away the letters written by some people. Before they could get a reply, the tranquility of Guanhai City was broken.
