However, although this battle was won, compared with Gao Zhan, the court did not have a mass base.

When Li Chuanjun's people heard that Dayu's army had reoccupied Li Chuan, they all packed their bags and wanted to follow Gao Zhan to flee south, but they were driven back by the army and blocked in the city.

Duan Shiyu won a complete victory in the first battle and was full of confidence. He wanted to continue to the south and wipe out the rogues, but he was attracted by the people blocking the gate of the city.

He looked at those ragged people and asked, "What's the situation, what are you betting on here?"

Zhang Ziwen said: "These are the people of Lichuan County. Knowing that Gao Zhan was defeated and Lichuan was occupied by the imperial court, they want to go south with them."

Duan Shiyu's arrogance was severely slapped by Zhang Ziwen's words. He didn't expect the people to hate them to such an extent. He stood on the fortification and looked at the people of Lichuan County who were held captive by the army, with a tense face.

The soldiers did not dare to act rashly unless they received Duan Shiyu's order. They only dared to point their spears toward the sky.The common people looked at Duan Shiyu who was aloof, and their teeth itched with hatred, but they didn't dare to speak out.

Outside the city wall, a flock of crows flew over and landed on the eaves of the house, black feathers slowly drifting down from the air.

Duan Shiyu looked terrified, reached out to catch the feather, and clenched it tightly.

An old voice in the crowd shouted: "The crow has passed by, if there is no disaster, there will be disaster!!!"

A soldier cursed and kicked the talking old man out.The old man was skinny and ragged, knelt on the ground, and shouted again: "The crow is calling, disaster is coming! The crow is calling! Disaster is coming!!! It's time to die again!!!!"

Before he finished speaking, the people of Lichuan County who were kneeling on the ground burst into tears.

Duan Shiyu came down from the fortress and asked, "Why are you crying?"

No one answered, only crying.

"Is it because of this group of crows!!!" Duan Shiyu roared, grabbed the bow of the soldier behind him, drew out a feathered arrow, bent the bow and shot through a crow.Before the crow could neigh, it rolled down from the eaves, and the other crows were startled and flew away.

Duan Shiyu threw the bow and arrow on the ground, dissatisfaction written all over his face.

At this moment, the deputy general Lin Chao came over with a woman and a child, threw the couple in front of Duan Shiyu, and said, "Your Highness, this is the wife and child of Wang Yanling, the governor of Lichuan County. Wang Yanling fled south with the bandits. How to deal with this wife and children?"

"How can I deal with it!" Duan Shiyu said angrily: "Didn't you see that it was only for women and children!!!!"

Lin Chao nodded, with a clear look, and said: "Pretend as a military prostitute, and send the child to the capital to repair the Tongtian Pavilion."

"..." Duan Shiyu frowned, and glanced at Zhang Ziwen beside him.

Zhang Ziwen pretended not to see it, and turned his face to the other side.Lin Chao looked at Duan Shiyu, then at Zhang Ziwen, also confused, and asked, "Your Highness? Is there something wrong?"

Duan Shiyu kicked Lin Chao on the shoulder, and cursed in a low voice: "I told you to watch the storage of food and supplies, and you catch a woman and child for me, what do you mean!"

Lin Chao pursed his lips aggrievedly, and said: "The general has sent someone to check it. The thief fled in a hurry, so he couldn't take the food and grass. The thief who wanted to burn the food was also killed by the general, but the weapon and equipment were taken by them.”

"Then why did you bring them here?" Duan Shiyu asked.

"The last general happened to bump into her two on the way back, so he brought them back?"

Duan Shiyu glanced at the pair of women and children hugging each other tightly, and said weakly: "Send it back."

"Huh?" Lin Chao didn't understand Duan Shiyu's meaning, and asked again: "What about these thieves who want to escape."

Duan Shiyu roared: "What can I do, ah!!! You tell me what can be done!!! It's hard to kill everyone!!!"

Lin Chao cupped his fists: "Obey!"

"..." Duan Shiyu was in a hurry, kicked on the fortress, and sprained her toes with a bang.

Lin Chao, "??"

Duan Shiyu sighed, looked at Lin Chao, and said, "All let go, I mean let go!"

Lin Chao, "Huh?????"

Not only Lin Chao, but even the people in the county who wanted to escape and were arrested were surprised by Duan Shiyu's actions.But their accident was completely within Duan Shiyu's expectation.

He walked over, helped up the panicked women, children and the old man, and said to Lin Chao: "Find out the county magistrate, count the escaped and remaining household registrations, open warehouses for food, don't let them starve, and let the soldiers take the destroyed The house has been repaired... Also, the people are not allowed to be looted."

Lin Chao tilted his head, not understanding.

Duan Shiyu roared: "Do as I say!"

"...As ordered."

"..." Duan Shiyu glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, heaved a long sigh, turned around and limped up the tower.

Zhang Ziwen saw that Duan Shiyu's usually broad and straight back was a little stooped at this moment, and he also had complicated emotions.
