I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

He Dongning rode on horseback, slowly following the large army, looking ahead at Xiao Yunzhan and the military advisor who were pointing at the road and muttering something.

He listened carefully and it seemed that Prince Yongchang wanted to build a road.

This road leads to Pingliang City, and he agreed with both hands to build the road.

On his way from Pingliang City to Shuitian City, he encountered deep pits several times, which almost threw him off his horse.

"General Long, building roads is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. The people of Pingliang City and Shuitian City are blessed..."

He Dongning looked at Lin Yiran with a smile.

He also secretly wanted Prince Yongchang to repair the road in Pingliang City.

This can greatly save travel time.

The road from Pingliang City to Pinghe City is even more difficult to travel. The imperial court has never allocated funds for road construction, and the road surface is in a mess.

Prince Yongchang and General Long are husband and wife. If General Long had mentioned this to Prince Yongchang, perhaps...

Lin Yiran looked ahead and smiled faintly.

"Once we capture Pinghe City, we will naturally have to repair the road as well."

It was easy to take down Pinghe City.

The prefect of Pinghe City and Xiao Yunzhan were close friends. Last time in the study, he had already tacitly acknowledged Xiao Yunzhan's rebellion and supported it.

However, the officials in Pinghe City are not as easy to deal with as those in Pingliang City. They still need to be intimidated and attacked.

"Naturally natural..."

When He Dongning heard that there was hope, he nodded happily.

With the hundreds of thousands of troops in Shuitian City, it would be easy to capture Pinghe City.

However, if we want to attack the capital, we still lack the manpower.

As far as he knew, there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers stationed near the capital, hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the south, and no less than hundreds of thousands in the north...

Although there is a drought now and the military strength of Daliang is somewhat weak, all the soldiers of Daliang add up to millions, and the combined numbers are not weak at all.

10 people against 1 person, no matter how powerful the God’s Army is, they will suffer heavy losses.

If both sides suffer losses, the neighboring countries will benefit.

Xiliang State has always been eyeing Daliang State. If Xiliang State takes the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, the people of Daliang State will suffer...

If Prince Yongchang could have captured the capital in one go before Emperor Wu of Liang could react, a lot of losses could have been reduced.

However, Shuitian City is too far away from the capital. It would take a month to travel there even if one travels non-stop, not to mention that one would have to attack each city one by one.

It would take at least half a year. With such a long time, Emperor Wu of Liang would have already gathered his troops.

"Master He, are there many refugees left in Pingliang City recently?"

Yao Wenhong turned her head and glanced at He Dongning.

From now on, Pingliang City will be under the management of her and her elder sister-in-law, so she has to communicate more with Lord He.

He Dongning smiled and glanced at the iron-blooded general beside Lin Yiran.

"When I left, there were already over 10,000 refugees left in Pingliang City. I'm afraid there are even more now."

"Four out of ten refugees will stay in Pingliang City, and six will go to Shuitian City."

"Especially after hearing that Shuitian City had received a rain of sweet rain, more refugees headed to Shuitian City."

"The people who stayed in Pingliang City were mostly the elderly, the weak, women and children, because they really couldn't walk anymore."

If it weren't for the water and food in Pingliang City, those people would not have stayed.

They all saw the miracle of the God King sending down food from other cities, "Eat his mother, drink his mother, the God King has come to Luofan City, take refuge with the God King and you will have food to eat."

So they all gritted their teeth and rushed to Shuitian City, and all the young and strong ones went to Shuitian City.

God has given us instructions. If we don’t seize the opportunity, we will regret it later.

Fortunately, he has always had a good relationship with the Xiao family and chose to take sides at the first opportunity.

Given his situation at the time, if he didn't follow the Xiao family, he would have starved to death along with the people of the entire city.

By then, Pingliang City will be empty and will still be easily taken by the Xiao family. It is better to take advantage of the opportunity to surrender and allow the people to survive.

Yao Wenhong nodded.

"It just so happens that we can recruit some more female soldiers."

The number of female soldiers is still too small. There must be at least 20,000 female soldiers.

The salary for being a soldier is so high. If we just let people know, I believe more women will choose to join the army.

He Dongning glanced back at the long line of female cavalrymen behind him and grinned.

"We can recruit quite a few female soldiers. Pingliang City is now almost a city of women. The streets are almost entirely filled with women."

There was no other way. Any man with a little strength could crawl to Shuitian City.

The woman had to stay to take care of the elderly and children. It was too difficult to go to Shuitian City with her family, so she had to settle for staying in Pingliang City.

Yao Wenhong laughed when she heard this.

"That's great. I'll have to trouble Lord He to notify the chief clerks in the city to help with the registration."

"The distribution of salaries also needs to be registered by the chief clerk. The detailed process will be discussed with the chief clerk when he arrives."

"It's my duty. General Tiexue, please let me know if you have anything to say." He Dongning nodded repeatedly, feeling very happy.

He saw the salaries of the soldiers in Shuitian City, which were really generous.

If one person in each household serves in the army, the salary is enough to feed the family for a month, so his pressure is not that great.
