The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 328
[Chapter 324 The Rising Purgatory in the Fire of War]
In the sixth year of Emperor Yuan, in August.
At this time, the war between the coalition forces and Qi State had reached its most intense moment.
The entire Qi State, more than two thousand miles across, has been completely engulfed by the flames of war.
Even Jiaodong County, which was at the back and did not face the war, was still affected by the war and penetrated into all aspects.
Among them, Xue County, which had been taken by the coalition forces to the rear, and most of it was captured, with Cao Cao’s complete pacification of Qufu City, all the activities of the Qi resistance forces also completely subsided and fell into silence.
It wasn’t that the people of Qi didn’t want to resist here, but that there was really no one in Xue Jun.
Xue County, which was originally rich and populous, has been completely turned into ruins due to the arrival of the war. The people are impoverished and scattered, the population has dropped sharply, and all civilizations have been destroyed, almost returning to the barbaric era after the war.
In every city and every village, there are almost no people in sight. Except for the coalition soldiers stationed there, the other Qi people are not seen.
The reason for this was the slaughter and indulgence of the coalition forces at the beginning, as well as the efficient slaughter plan after Cao Cao.
Soldiers were specially dispatched to arbitrarily plunder and kill the original civilians of Qi State, making this Xue County, which originally had a population of nearly 800,000, and was one of the most prosperous in the entire world.
It has become a savage life with a population of 50,000 people, and they are still hiding in the deep mountains and forests, living a life of savage and blood.
In addition, the place is full of burnt and broken walls. The fertile fertile fields that were originally cultivated are also densely covered with various weeds, and wild beasts can be seen everywhere in the original settlement, a barbaric and desolate scene. .
It can be said that although Xue Jun won, it has become a chicken rib.
The people in the local area have been killed, and some of the remaining Qi people, like birds in the bow, hid in the deep mountains and forests in fear, not daring to come out.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to rely on the people of Qi to govern this vast territory for the monarchs of various countries.
The coalition forces killed the relatives of these people, robbed their wealth, burned their homes, and turned them into the savages they are today.
Both sides have deep-seated hatred, how could these Qi people farm for their enemies, pay taxes, and obey military service!
I am afraid that after the withdrawal of the coalition soldiers, only some basic security forces were left in the place.
These Qi people, who were originally huddled in the corner, will come out again and destroy the rule of the coalition forces here!
Therefore, Xue County has completely become a ruin and useless, and it is impossible to provide any help to the coalition forces.
However, in these times, what use do they want these territories for?
Although it is undeniable that with a vast territory, a country has enough strategic space and enough basic territory to thrive. As long as there is enough time, relying on this territory, a country can grow to an unimaginable level.
But now that the Warring States are strife, and all the countries in the world are surging, who knows when they will be attacked and when they will be wiped out?
There is no time to open up this wasteland.
For the princes of various countries, although the vast territory is important, the people and wealth on the territory are more important.
Those people can provide them with army after army, and wealth can supply the army with food and grass, so that the army can fight longer wars.
With the army and food, the princes of various countries can defend their basic territory, and wait for opportunities to expand, making an important step for the ambition of unifying the world.
As for Xue Jun, it is obviously impossible to achieve these two points.
On the contrary, they even had to fill the manpower and material resources of the allied princes, rebuild Xue County, and relocate their small population in the country, and distribute them hundreds of miles in this vast Xue County.
It’s really dumb to eat coptis, and there is no way to describe the pain.
And in the same way, in Qi State’s Jibei County, Linzi County, and Langya County.
The front line of the three Qi Kingdoms, Linzi County was better, and was wrapped in the rear by Langya and Jibei counties.
Although the war has also burned to some areas, it is not serious, and basic production in some places is still possible.
However, Langya County and Jibei County were miserable. The war raged directly on the land of the two counties, and the remaining 700,000 troops of the coalition army indulged in killing and looting on this land.
Attack the city and destroy the ground, invincible.
In a short period of time, more than half of the land in the two counties has been occupied, and the remaining defenders have also gathered in the county seat of the two counties, within the most majestic checkpoint in the one county, passively defending.
As for the soldiers of the coalition army, because many of them are strong men drawn by force, they are not as capable of obeying orders as the elites who have been trained for a long time.
Therefore, after many of them conquered one place, they did not make persistent efforts immediately and bravely, but instead caused disasters in the place.
Countless beautiful women that they could not see before, luxurious treasures that they could not imagine, and food with fragrant aroma that they had never smelled, were displayed in front of their eyes.
It was like a beggar suddenly piled up with gold, and someone told him that the gold was for him to take.
The excitement in their hearts, how crazy it should be, is hard to hide.
So a lot of soldiers went crazy, looting everywhere, killing everywhere, everything that could help take away.
Whether it is dead or alive, people or objects, they are taken away by them.
What can’t be taken away is a fire.
Holding the bad idea that I can’t take it, and others don’t want to take it.
Therefore, their effect is significant.
On nearly half of the land in the two counties, UU reading www.
All the cities and castles of uukanshu.com were captured, and the local villages and towns were also burned.
Countless people of Qi who were living and working in peace and contentment wailed in their homes.
All the coalition soldiers here infinitely released their inner evil, tyranny, and enjoyed the treatment they had never enjoyed before.
And the cruel and original owner drove them like livestock at will, and if they were a little unhappy, they would kill and torture them at will.
What’s even more depressing is that these coalition soldiers also drove these original residents to act as cannon fodder to attack one city after another.
As a result, there is no need to say much.
It is the relatives of these civilians who are guarding the city in the city. Seeing their parents, relatives, wives and children, they are tortured by their own enemies outside.
How could they endure it and brutally kill them!
Therefore, many cities fell so easily.
After the coalition army used this method to capture more than 20 cities, the remaining defenders in the city were under the pressure of their superiors, and those who surrendered to the city defenders had nothing to do, instead they were with those who had been passed down. Killed by the Allies.
With a lesson from the past, I know that no matter what I do, I will inevitably escape this hurdle and let myself and my loved ones die.
The defenders in the city could only reluctantly hold back their tears and killed their relatives below.
However, in their hearts, they turned their grief and anger into strength, and after killing their relatives more and more, they couldn’t help but hate the culprit who drove their relatives outside.
It’s not that they have reached the point where they can consciously kill the coalition forces without the urging of their superiors, and there is no need to worry that they will be defeated.
