Under the same night sky, the refugee camps were also filled with a sad atmosphere.

During the daytime siege by the Jin army, the refugee soldiers who stayed behind in the camp resisted desperately, and only then did Liu Yu arrive to rescue.

But the price paid was also very high. There were more than 300 casualties, almost from every family. The only consolation was that the Jin army only wanted to capture old, weak, women and children as hostages, and there were not many casualties among these people.

In a camp that was not too badly damaged, a large blazing torch illuminated the entire open space.

Liu Yu is directing the production of ladders, shield carts, rams and other siege equipment here. All the young and strong refugees are very energetic. They all want to break through Xia Mi City tomorrow and avenge their relatives who were killed and injured today, so even if it is already three days ago,

Even in the middle of the night, there was still no one complaining about being tired.

Liu Yu still admired these refugees very much. They were all poor families or ordinary people in Jizhou. In order to avoid natural disasters, they could wander with their families in foreign lands. This is what the so-called perseverance should be.

In history, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings and the Rebellion of the Five Husbands were seamlessly connected, causing chaos in the Central Plains for more than 200 years.

It triggered a huge population migration in the north. In addition to the famous "Yiguannan Crossing", a large number of scholars and common people fled westward to Liangzhou, northward to Duanbu, Murongbu, Goguryeo, etc., and even eastward

Crossed the sea and reached North Korea and the country of Japan.

Liu Yu knew that these Han people who were forced to migrate would not be able to survive alone under the influence of the barbarian Hu people. They would all be annexed and absorbed one by one, providing a large amount of manpower and material resources for the barbarian Hu people to fight in the Central Plains.

However, the Sima family of the Jin Dynasty, who caused such a catastrophic disaster as the "Shenzhou Lu Shen" for the Han people, hid in Jiangdong and continued the so-called "dress and fashion". The powerful families restrained each other and did not have the will and strength to restore the Central Plains.

Every time he thinks about this recently, Liu Yu will be very depressed. After all, the chaos of demons in the north has begun, and with Liu Yu's current strength, I am afraid that he is not even qualified to appear on stage for this drama that has already begun.

Seeing Liu Yu's expression of hesitation, Guan Tao and several other refugee commanders who were following him thought Liu Yu was dissatisfied with the speed of equipment manufacturing.

"Don't worry, general. I will lead my men tonight and prepare all the equipment."

"Yes, General, go and have a rest. You can leave this place to us."

Faced with the good intentions of several refugee commanders, Liu Yu still firmly refused.

"Our soldiers have all rested. If I weren't here to watch, you wouldn't be familiar with anything wrong with the siege equipment, so you might not notice it."

Liu Yu's body is unusually strong. He can shoot the wildest bow. He is a super strong man who can charge into battle as fiercely as a tiger even though he wears double layers of armor. The consumption of today's battle is as stress-free as drinking water and eating.

Liu Yu led everyone to inspect various places where siege equipment was made. Everywhere he went, he would arouse waves of greetings and admiration from the young and strong refugees.

Whenever Liu Yu praised or encouraged a refugee young man, that young man would proudly puff out his chest, exuding immense pride and a sense of excitement at being praised by a big shot.

From the faces of one refugee after another, Liu Yu saw their admiration and gratitude for him. Liu Yu thought that this was probably the feeling of "winning people's hearts".

Looking at these strange and friendly faces, he secretly encouraged himself to work hard, not to live up to the trust and enthusiasm, and to let them live a good life with him.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Just when all the siege equipment had been basically completed.

Suddenly, from the direction of Xia Mi City, a red light shot straight into the sky.

"Xia Mi City is on fire!"

"Are they the religious brothers in the city?"

"Definitely not. The believers in the city are all weaklings."

"Did the sergeants in the city mutiny?"

Suddenly, facing this unexpected situation, everyone began to speculate about what happened in the secret city.

After a while.

Just when everyone was suspicious, a sentry from the Donglai Army came to report to Liu Yu.

"General, we caught a man coming from the city and said he came to surrender."

"Bring the person here." Liu Yu said softly.

Soon, a man in white clothes was brought up by the guards, and another guard held a bundle in his hand.

"Young man Dong Hui, I have met the general." The man in white said with a big salute.

"Who are you?" Liu Yu asked without asking him to get up.

"The villain is a military official of the Secret Army. This time I came to present the Secret City to the general." Dong Hui said.

After listening to Dong Hui's words, everyone present was overjoyed. It would be a blessing from heaven if they could capture Xia Mi City without a single blow.

"Nonsense! I think you are obviously a spy. You must have secretly sent a secret order to the county magistrate to lure our army into a trap." Liu Yu shouted angrily. He felt that he had to deceive Dong Hui first.

"The general has a clear vision, the general has a clear vision." Dong Hui hurriedly begged for mercy. It turned out that the general of the Donglai thieves was the evil god in the daytime. He was really afraid that the evil god would chop him with a knife.

"The magistrate of Xiami County is dead, and this package contains the head of Song Xian, the man who issued the secret order!"

Liu Yu immediately ordered the package to be opened and asked Guan Tao, the magistrate of Xiami County, to identify the authenticity.

Soon, Guan Tao and several others expressed that they were not wrong. This was Song Xian, the magistrate of Xiami County.

Immediately afterwards, Dong Hui took out the seal ribbon of the Xiami County Magistrate from his arms and presented it to Liu Yu with both hands.

Liu Yu played with the seal ribbon and softened his tone.

"Tell me carefully what happened in the city."

Dong Hui immediately answered.

It turned out that Song Xian, the magistrate of Xiami County, learned that all the wealthy families in the city rejected his suggestion to send troops to defend the city. In anger, he decided to set fire to Xiami City and then fled south.

He summoned the government officials and remaining soldiers and ordered them to first burn down the government offices, granaries, warehouses and other places, and then set fire to the Xicheng where the wealthy families lived. He also promised that after fleeing south to Taishan County, everyone would be promoted to three levels in a row.

.

After hearing the order from the county magistrate, these local officials and soldiers thought that the magistrate was crazy. If you, the old man, destroyed the city and fled, you might not be able to hurt a single hair if there are people above to protect you. Why do we locals have to do it?

I burned down my own house, ran away with you, and then continued to work as a cow or a horse for you.

After learning about the county magistrate's crazy plan, these officials and soldiers knew that Mi City would definitely not be able to be defended now. Even if the county magistrate was not crazy, he would not be able to defend it, let alone if he was already crazy.

Soon the leaders of these officials and soldiers gathered at the home of Fan, the largest powerful family in the city, and sought countermeasures from Mr. Fan.

Mr. Fan suggested that if Xiami City cannot be defended, we people will definitely surrender. If we surrender empty-handed like this, we will definitely not be welcomed by others. Maybe we will be blamed for attacking the refugee camp during the day.

Well, it is better to keep the granaries and warehouses in the city and use these materials and food to pay for some possible sins.

At this time, someone else suggested that since they were about to surrender, they should do something big and simply chop off the county magistrate and surrender to the city with his head. Maybe the Donglai thieves outside the city would be happy and not only would they not

If we are punished, we will be rewarded.

Mr. Fan thought over and over again and said a lot of words such as "benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust" to everyone, and then nodded in agreement.

Just when Song Xian was secretly ordered to lead his staff and clerks to set fire to the warehouse in person, he was beheaded by a robber catcher who claimed to have come to report on the arson work. Then the officials and soldiers rushed in and destroyed the county magistrate's head.

All the subordinates had their heads chopped off.

Then mobilized manpower to put out the fire in the warehouse and granary.

This group of people who suppressed the superiors finally unanimously recommended Dong Hui, the most eloquent and image-loving official, to take the head of the county magistrate out of the city to surrender to the Donglai thieves.

After all, in the "Wei and Jin Dynasty" era, good-looking people, regardless of gender, will speak with their own three-dimensional truth.

After listening to Dong Hui's words, Liu Yu suddenly remembered a classic villain's language.

He couldn't help it and burst into laughter.
