After the skinny middle-aged man made up his mind, he turned to the woman beside him and said,
"Beloved, we're not leaving. Let's go back, let's go home!”
The middle-aged woman looked at her husband's expression and nodded with tears in her eyes.
As long as they could survive, no one was willing to leave their hometown easily!
After this family made their decision, they had the ox cart turn around. At the same time, the middle-aged couple bowed to Tian Meng and the others.
"General, we're going back!"
Tian Qiong nodded and said to him,""Tell the people you know along the way that the army of the imperial court has arrived, and the prefect of Yanmen Prefecture has also arrived. Yanmen Prefecture will soon return to normal, and the Xiongnu will no longer be able to invade!”
"Don't worry, General. I'll definitely pass on the message!”
After saying that, the skinny middle-aged man led the ox cart back with his wife and children.
Tian Kong stared at their figures, unable to calm down!
In the past few decades, the border had been invaded by the Xiongnu countless times and countless wars had been ignited. Perhaps many people here were like this family, wanting to escape from here and avoid the invasion and invasion of the Xiongnu.
However, as long as they saw hope for the future, they would still be reluctant to leave their hometown!
"Immediately send a team of people along the main roads to dissuade the people from leaving this place. Tell them to return to their hometown. Remember not to use force!”
Tian Meng ordered a lieutenant named Zhang Wanqian.
"Yes, Mayor!"
Zhang Wanqian nodded and immediately went to make the arrangements.
"Chen Guangsu, you will now lead the army and continue to rush towards Shan Wu City. The rest of the military officers and lieutenants will follow me to take a look at the various places!”
Tian Qiong then looked at the generals beside him and ordered.
"Yes, Mayor!"
Lieutenant Chen Guangsu looked at Tian He and did not ask any questions. He just followed his orders.
After making some simple arrangements for the army, Tian Qiong led a team of nearly a hundred men and left on horseback through a small path on the side of the official road.
Tian Meng's general direction had not changed, but he had changed from a main road to a small road. Although the journey had become much longer, he would still pass by many villages and counties.
Ta…
A group of 100 people rode on horses and traveled quickly on the road. When they passed by the village, Tian Meng would stop from time to time to understand.
Most of the villages that they passed by in the beginning were fine. The people were still relatively stable, but they were also in a panic. They had also heard that the Xiongnu had wantonly killed and plundered in Yanmen.
However, as they went further north, more and more dilapidated villages and towns began to appear. Some villages and towns had quickly fled into the mountains, and only a small number of them had been killed by the Xiongnu. However, in some villages and towns, more than half of the people had been killed or kidnapped, leaving only a small number of lucky people who were sad and miserable. Some villages were even dead silent, with only the sound of wild dogs gnawing on bones and the sound of unextinguished flames burning!
Everyone's mood became heavier and heavier, and they became more and more angry!
Apart from the villages and towns, Tian Qiong and the others also saw a county that had been breached. They could not bear to see the same tragic scene. This was after so long. They could imagine how tragic it was at that time.
Just like that, Tian Qiong led the group forward. At the beginning, many of the soldiers were still angrily cursing the Xiongnu, but later on, everyone gradually fell silent!
Along the way, Tian Meng was expressionless. He had thought about the tragic scene at the border, but only after seeing it did he know how tragic the scene at the border was!
The Xiongnu, this enemy, had brought countless sufferings and tribulations to the people of the border for decades!
Who knew how much humiliation it had brought to the Han Dynasty!
If they didn't take revenge, countless people at the border of Great Han would die in vain. If they didn't take revenge, the humiliation of Great Han would never be washed away!
Tian Qiong led the group and sped up, heading straight for Shan Wu City.
Ta…
Tian Meng led a group of soldiers and finally arrived outside Shan Wu City!
Looking at Shan Wu City, which had been re-stationed, Tian Qiong and the others could still tell from the blood marks on the city walls that this city had just experienced a brutal bloody battle not long ago!
Tian Qiong led the soldiers into the city. On the streets of the city, from time to time, officials could be seen leading soldiers and civilians to repair damaged houses and clean up the traces left by the war!
Although Shanwu City had experienced a bloody battle, it was still a county city. With the joint efforts of the living people, officials, and soldiers, as well as the large amount of money and food allocated by the imperial court, it gradually began to gain some vitality.
Although there were very few commoners walking on the streets, the sounds of street vendors hawking their wares gradually began to appear!
However, if he wanted to restore it to its original prosperity, he would probably need a lot of time!
Tian Qiong walked along the street, leading a few important generals straight to the prefect's manor.
The prefect's manor was located at the back of the city and was not affected by the war, so it was still intact!
When the guards of the prefect's manor learned that the young general in front of them was the new prefect, they were extremely surprised. They did not dare to stop him at all and immediately bowed to welcome Tian Meng into the prefect's manor.
After Tian Xiong entered the prefect's mansion, he went straight to the main hall of the prefect's mansion. He had delayed a lot of time because he had checked the situation in various places in Yanmen County along the way. He arrived two days later than expected!
At this moment!
In the main hall of the prefect's manor!
There were many people standing there. The officials of the Prefecture, the Eastern Commandant, the Western Commandant, the Imperial Censor, and other important figures of Yanmen Prefecture were all present!
"What's going on? The soldiers of the Imperial Court have arrived, but the new prefect hasn't?”
"Yes, according to the time, the Mayor should have arrived early. There are many important matters in Yanmen County that the Mayor has to decide personally!”
"This new prefect is too irresponsible!”
"You can't say that. I heard from the lieutenant who led the army that the prefect is currently patrolling all over the country. I don't know when he will return!”
"Our Yanmen Prefecture has suffered heavy losses this time. I hope this prefect can do something!”
……
Everyone in the hall was discussing with each other, and it was clearly a little noisy!
Just as everyone was discussing, a voice suddenly sounded in the main hall.
"The prefect is here!"
