Afterwards, Qin Yu ordered Zhao Dao to do this. In just one day, Zhao Dao recruited three thousand people!
Moreover, there are more than one hundred veterans over the age of forty in the Western Wilderness Army, and they have also been promoted to commanders of the Iron Cross Legion!
Qin Yu spent another three days to familiarize them with city defense affairs before he led the army out of Crocodile City and headed towards the front line!
"Your Highness! There are three cities ahead: Yuncheng, Mocheng, and Luocheng. The total military strength of these three cities is no less than 150,000. They are all important military cities!"
Xue Rongrong pointed to the three forks in the road ahead and introduced them to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu casually picked up a map of the Western Wasteland, looked at it, and said with a smile, "Although these three cities are important military cities, they are not located in the central area of the Western Wasteland. The people of the Western Wasteland are living such a miserable life, and the people of these three cities are not much better off. How can they possibly afford to support so many soldiers and horses!"
"Besides, this information of yours is from a few years ago?"
Forehead......
Xue Rongrong was stunned by Qin Yu's question. The information she just mentioned was actually from more than ten years ago!
"This information is from more than a decade ago. However, Western Wilderness has been using this military arrangement to demand money from the imperial court for so many years!"
Xue Rongrong said in a deep voice.
"It's not uncommon to be paid without working!"
"We can just pick any city and head forward to investigate. If my guess is correct, the combined forces of these three cities may not exceed 10,000!"
Qin Yu said in a deep voice.
He had already guessed Su Tu's intention. If it was really as he thought, Su Tu would never allow the number of troops in these three cities to exceed ten thousand!
The army continued to move forward, and two hours later, they arrived outside Mo City. At this time, Mo City had long lost its former glory. The tall city walls had long been broken, and parts of the walls had collapsed!
"How could this happen? The imperial court allocates no less than one million taels of silver to Mocheng every year, so why is the city wall broken?"
Xue Rongrong was shocked.
"Zhao Dao! Quickly lead your troops into the city to investigate. If there are no soldiers stationed in the city, return and report!"
Qin Yu said in a deep voice.
Zhao Dao immediately led his troops to investigate, but returned after a while and told Qin Yu that Mocheng was already an empty city!
"What! An empty city! How could such a big city be empty?"
Xue Rongrong was shocked beyond words!
Zhao Dao's face was gloomy. He said, "General Xuelong, there are actually many empty cities like this in the Western Wasteland."
"Tell me everything you know!"
Qin Yu said.
Zhao Dao said in a deep voice, "As far back as I can remember, many Turkic people have appeared in the Western Wasteland. They live in the cities of the Western Wasteland and bully the people there!"
"As a result, the people of the Western Wasteland were dissatisfied and rebelled. The Turks then sent soldiers to massacre them. Su Tu ignored all this!"
"Finally, a decision was made that shocked everyone: to divide the Western Wasteland into two parts. One part was given to the Turks to live in, and the other part was given to the people of the Western Wasteland. The people in the middle area were all driven away!"
"It's just that Mocheng isn't in the middle of the land. It used to be inhabited by people, but now it seems like they've all been killed!"
creak!
After hearing this, Xue Rongrong clenched her fists until they creaked. Su Tu's behavior was no different from treason!
