When they entered Xianning City, the city was no longer as jittery as it had been during the war. The citizens in the city knew that the war was over, and the bolder ones had already begun to emerge from behind the doors.
They began to look at the army curiously. They knew that these troops were the revolutionary army that was rumored to overthrow the imperialists and the Northern Warlords and push the revolution to the whole country.
These people, who were rarely educated, did not understand what it meant to overthrow the imperialists and push the revolution to the whole country. They only knew that since the army entered the city, they had not violated them at all. None of them had been like the warlords in the past who had seized them.
The thoughts of these people were very simple. They didn't understand the great principles of overthrowing the imperialists. They only knew who was good to them and who was bad to them.
They weren't like the literati who understood the righteousness of the country and the nation. Their simple thoughts were more about how to survive in this chaotic world.
Yes, they had been baptized by feudal forces and the flames of war. These people who lived a life of fear and trepidation every day had enough of this kind of vagrant and precarious life.
However, after a long period of feudal rule and oppression, the first thing they thought about when they saw the hope of " survival " was whether these armies would treat them well, and whether they would plunder their wealth, food, and even their families like the previous armies did!
It was very difficult for them to be like some movies in the future, where an army was welcomed by the masses as soon as they entered the village. The scene in the movies in the future might appear after experiencing the cruel abuse of the invaders and the national righteousness was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
However, it was obvious that under the current situation, although the people who were used to the oppression of the Barbarian Race were a little uncomfortable and angry about the harshness of the warlords, they were more willing to muddle through. As long as they were not forced into a dead end, it was very difficult for these simple people to resist!
Therefore, although they were very curious about this army, they did not show any extreme emotions. Liu Feng was not surprised by this. If it was in big cities like Changsha and Hubei, it was very likely that such a scene would appear. However, in a small county like Xianning, if such a scene really appeared, Liu Feng would be surprised.
The reason for this was probably due to the problem of the revolutionary army's propaganda development offensive. The revolutionary army's national consciousness, the Three People's Principles, and so on were mostly concentrated in the "first-tier" big cities such as Changsha and Wu Han.
For a fringe city like Xianning City, the revolutionary army's propaganda was always limited. Under such circumstances, the result was that the awakening of national consciousness in fringe cities like Xianning City was often delayed. Therefore, Liu Feng did not think there was anything wrong with the attitude of the people in Xianning City.
Back to the main topic, after entering Xianning City's " county government ", which was the previous direct command center, Liu Feng met the only remaining general in Xianning City, Yu Xuezhong. Although Liu Feng had never met this general before, he was no stranger to him because he was the commander of the previous Tingsi Bridge Battle.
The general who had run away after being bombarded by him did not expect to meet him in such a situation. He had not seen him before, and the special forces had not caught him either. It was really fate.
After accepting the surrender of the Sichuan army, Yu Xuezhong also knew the background of this troop in front of him. They were actually the Sichuan army that he had never paid attention to before!
In the Northern Expedition last year, although their direct line of soldiers had fought with the Sichuan Army many times, they had not paid much attention to it because they had only fought with small groups of troops.
After all, even the main force had been losing, so the failure of the small force did not seem to be that important. Therefore, although they knew about the existence of this force, they had never taken this strangely dressed force seriously.
Obviously, it was precisely because they did not pay attention that they suffered losses in this war. They were forced to retreat step by step, until now, when their headquarters were beheaded, their morale collapsed and they chose to surrender!
After the attack on the command post, he had thought of leading his troops directly to the Revolutionary Army's position and fighting to the death with the Revolutionary Army. At that time, there were more than 50,000 soldiers in Xianning City, including the soldiers who had been defeated at Tingsi Bridge. He did not believe that more than 50,000 people could not even save a few generals!
But in the end, he still did not take action because it was late at night. How could he lead his troops out of the city to fight? What if the revolutionary army killed them during the rescue? And…
He found many reasons for himself, and most of them were reasonable. There was one more thing that he didn't want to admit-he was afraid. Yes, after the battle of Tingsi Bridge, and now after the deterrence of this decapitation operation, he was afraid.
He did not want to face the destructive artillery fire anymore, and he did not want to face this sudden " decapitation ". Although he did not want to admit it, he was indeed afraid!
At this moment, facing this young man who was too young, Yu Xuezhong's emotions were as complicated as Song Dapei and the others.
From the way the Sichuan soldiers addressed him, he already knew who this " little brat " was. It could be said that the main culprit of his direct line's defeat was this guy! This overly young brat!
He wished he could swallow this guy alive, but it was obvious that he could not do it, and he did not dare to do it.
"General Yu, are you dissatisfied with this battle?”Looking at the general who still had some unwillingness on his face, Liu Feng, who was in a good mood because everything went smoothly, could not help but ask. He was in a good mood now. Why not find someone to have a good chat?
Hearing this, Yu Xuezhong's mouth twitched. He really wanted to say," I'm impressed by you!" He was indeed unconvinced. He had always thought that he had lost because of his equipment and because of these " despicable " villains.
If his equipment was as luxurious as the Sichuan army, if his headquarters had not been attacked by the special forces of the Sichuan army, if they had fought head-on, even if he could not win, at least he could rely on the dangerous terrain of Tingsi Bridge to resist the revolutionary army and the Sichuan army outside Hubei, and even cause heavy casualties to the revolutionary army!
However, even though he wanted to curse in his heart, he really did not dare to say it.
Seeing this, Liu Feng also roughly knew what this general was thinking. It was nothing more than his previous style of fighting. He was unwilling to fight like the warlords in the past. He didn't think that this was war! Why should he fight according to their ideas?
Liu Feng had been developing Sichuan for so many years just to fight with them? To let go of his advantage and then foolishly use the lives of his brothers as a joke? Liu Feng just wanted to laugh at this. How naive!
Even though he had been in high spirits and wanted to find someone to have a good chat with, this general's current attitude of not even daring to say anything really made him feel a little disappointed. The feeling of being in a good mood earlier was also gone. He simply ignored this guy and went straight to arrange the next step of the plan.
Ps: The Xianning chapter is basically over. The next will be the important town of Wu Han. Fu Sheng has been thinking about how to arrange the concession. Can the readers give Fu Sheng some suggestions?
