Everyone is basically wealthy. There is a lot of money at home, and the government also has a lot of food, but they have not distributed it to the local people.
And all these people were in this very hungry state. They did this in order to gather all the little wealth in the Goguryeo territory into the hands of the government.
Once it is used, it can be taken out in time, but they did not expect that this situation would cause the people of Goguryeo to live in dire straits.
This also resulted in Dian Wei's current destructive way of marching.
If they could keep all these people fed and clothed, then Dianwei's speed would definitely not be so fast.
As long as these people can work with the local officials to fight against them, I am afraid that even if Dianwei can take over these cities, it will never be so easy.
But the current situation is that once they pass, these people will not be able to think of anything to help protect them and fight against Dian Wei.
"General, the city ahead seems to be in the same situation as the previous city. Should we still follow the previous method?"
Soon Dian Wei and his group of 30,000 people came to a new city, and this city was the largest they had encountered along the way.
It seemed that the guards in the city were much better than before, and their combat effectiveness should be stronger than before, so the general came up to ask Dian Wei for instructions.
"We should follow the previous method to persuade them to surrender first. If they refuse to surrender, then launch an attack. After entering, we should follow the previous method and kill all the local officials who often prey on the people, and then let those who are more competitive
Keep officials who can do practical things for the people."
After seeing this situation, Dian Wei also immediately decided to follow the previous method.
It's just that this time we may have to be more careful, and this general understood it and went ahead to make arrangements.
So the thirty thousand people came to the city. Seeing the city in front of him, Dian Wei's heart was full of thoughts.
If every city he encountered before was like this, it would be really difficult for them to achieve the results they have achieved now.
So Dian Wei's generals began to go out to persuade them to surrender, but the result was different from what Dian Wei expected.
The general guarding the city was also prepared to refuse to surrender, and he was obviously a tough one.
So when he saw Dian Wei leading 30,000 armed forces to prepare to attack them, and he had also received news, all the cities in front were in misfortune.
Sun Yi decided to fight to the death, but at this moment something happened that Dian Wei did not expect.
When Dian Wei led an armed force of 30,000 people to the latest city, he found that this city was different from all the levels they had encountered before.
Firstly, the scale of this city is the largest compared to the previous cities. Secondly, the generals guarding the city are different from some previous generals.
In the past, these generals encountered some slight resistance, but their resistance and determination were not very strong.
Therefore, they can also win in this devastating way, or even more often abandon the city directly, but this city is different.
The general who defended the city was a tough one, but he always felt that the Wei Kingdom was here to invade them.
So they all prepared to defend the city to the death, which Dian Wei didn't expect much.
But this will definitely not scare Dian Wei. After all, Dian Wei has an armed force of 30,000 people.
It was more than enough to deal with this city, and just when Dian Wei wanted to order a strong attack.
But something happened that he didn't expect, that is, the refugees he rescued all ran to the bottom of the city after catching up.
Because Dian and Wei were only in front of the main entrance of the city and did not block the roads on both sides.
They just arranged some cavalry on the flanks to prevent the enemy from coming out of the city to sneak attack them.
The two sides were not blocked, and all the refugees rushed out through both sides, and arrived below the city. After arriving below the city, these refugees all spontaneously began to attack the city gate.
They were constantly attacking, and the relatively young and middle-aged men among them even got some trees and the like from nowhere and attacked the city gate here.
All this was beyond Dianwei's expectation, just when Dianwei was confused.
An old man emerged from among the refugees, and this old man looked like a weather-beaten old man.
But his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and this was obviously not an ordinary old man.
"May I ask which general is leading the army? Can you come out and talk to me?"
What made Dian Wei even more unexpected was that the old man actually spoke the official language of the Wei Kingdom instead of the dialect of Goguryeo.
After seeing this scene, Dian Wei immediately patted his horse and came to the old man and dismounted.
"This old man, I am Dian Wei, the commander-in-chief of these 30,000 armed forces. Is there anything going on here? And what are the following situations?"
Dian Wei was also very puzzled as to why such a situation occurred, so he began to ask the old man.
"General Dian Wei, right? I'm just a veteran of Goguryeo. It's just that I entered the Wei Kingdom many years ago for a long time, so I can understand your language.
We also left our homes and fled, but the local officials were too harsh in collecting taxes. They also used all our land, cattle and sheep to finance the palace, forcing us to flee as a last resort. Unexpectedly, we ended up fleeing.
We were rescued by the general on the way, so we are very grateful to the general."
It turns out that these people who fled were all caused by the local government.
It also makes them, the common people, hate these officials deeply.
This has been the case since ancient times that the people did not fight against the officials, but now there is nothing they can do about this situation. They cannot fight even if they don't want to, so they have no choice but to leave their homes and flee.
I originally thought I could find a place to settle down, but I didn't expect that this would be the case all the way.
Just when he was desperate, he was saved by Dian Wei who distributed food.
"I see, but it is indeed unwise for the men behind you to attack the city gate.
If the defenders above regard you as the people arranged by us, your safety will be greatly threatened, so I advise you to ask all the men behind you to withdraw."
