Quick wear is not a cannon fodder

When leaving, the Xihu people only took away the items that they could take with them. If they searched for too much property and couldn't carry it with them, Anron wouldn't allow them to find a car to take them with them. Just kidding, she didn't let them go empty-handed. Leaving was already considered very benevolent, but he also wanted to take the gold and silver treasures collected from the Central Plains away in a car. Did he think she looked stupid?

Naturally, the people of Xihu also knew this, so they were very satisfied to see that they could carry a baggage on their backs.

As for how to get back without food, they don't have to worry. People from Xihu Palace will pick them up as soon as they leave here.

Although they lost the city, no one from the royal court could save them, which proved that Tang Anran was very powerful. In this way, if they were unfavorable in the war, the higher-ups would not blame them.

Besides, many people died in several battles with Tang Anran. I don’t think Wang Ting would kill them all just because they blamed them for losing the city. After all, the number of people was getting smaller and smaller. If they kill them, there will be fewer Xihu people. What’s the benefit?

Sure enough, their guess was correct. After these Xihu people returned, Wang Ting did not blame them.

But as long as Anron surrendered, did not kill prisoners, and gained credibility, Anran would then besiege other places. The other places knew that Wang Ting would not save them, stayed for a while, then surrendered and returned to the capital.

Tang Anran won't kill them anyway, so isn't it a good idea to surrender? Why go to all lengths.

When the Xihu people attacked the Central Plains Dynasty, how could the generals of the Central Plains Dynasty escape? Now that the Xihu people have handed over the city, they are almost at the same level.

Relying on this method, An Ran quickly acquired other cities in the north except the capital.

This process was very fast, because Enron's first target was very intimidating and had credibility. Naturally, other small towns could not hold on and quickly surrendered and left. Therefore, subsequent sieges were not just one attack at a time, but one at a time. It blooms all over the place together, so it will naturally be very fast to occupy all the cities.

The people of Xihu also did not expect that Tang Anran would be so powerful and use such a method to solve the entire north so quickly.

However, seeing that not many of their own people died, they were still willing to accept such a result. It would be better than Tang Anran being dishonest and killing many of their people.

Now only the capital is left in the north.

After An Ran reorganized himself, he began to besiege the capital.

Although the capital is large, there are more people. Once An Ran is besieged, they will not be able to hold on without foreign aid.

The only good thing is that the capital city is very large, and Tang Anran has to dispatch a lot of troops to besiege it. As a result, the people in the Xihu Palace still have the last illusion, thinking that if time goes by, Tang Anran will not be able to bear the military expenditure. Shi Neng retreated on his own initiative, so he did not attack An Ran. He just hid in the city, hoping to wait until An Ran could no longer hold on and leave voluntarily to avoid fighting and killing people again.

But they clearly underestimated the expense of an Enron siege.

For An Ran, she now has her bastion not far from the capital. The supply of food and grass is convenient, and there is no military expenditure at all. Anyway, she usually raises troops, and how to raise them now. After all, she did not let everyone attack the capital, only let everyone surround them. Yes, it won’t cost a lot, just give a little more than usual.

Therefore, no matter how many people she sends to besiege, there is no need to worry about not being able to encircle them.

On the contrary, there are many people in the capital, and even if the place is larger than other cities, just growing some food in the city will not be enough for a long time.

Half a year later, the Xihu people were out of ammunition and food, and they had no determination to break out of the encirclement with force. After all, they had fought An Ran before and couldn't defeat them. In this case, they would not have the courage to break out of the encirclement with force. If they persisted, they would be eaten. , and they couldn't eat the horse, otherwise they would return to the desert, so they surrendered to An Ran.

Of course, as before, Enron and others are required to ensure their life safety.

If it were anyone else, it seems that the enemy only has this last place. Don't worry about reinforcements from other places. I'm afraid they will agree first, wait for the enemy to surrender, and then kill everyone to avenge the invasion and invasion of the Xihu people. .

But An Ran did not do this. Instead, after agreeing, he let the person go as promised.

Because she is a person of her word, it is not good to go back on her word on this kind of thing.

But it doesn't mean that she will let the Xihu people go. After all, the Xihu people did kill many people from the Central Plains. It is impossible for her to use this incident to counterattack the Xihu Desert Royal Court in the future.

But that is a matter for the future. One code will be the same. Now that she has agreed to let him go, she will not regret it. She will still let him go. .

An Ran let the people go. Of course, the wealth would not let them all go away. They were only allowed to carry one bag.

Fortunately, the people of Xihu had already transported the wealth they had collected over the years back to the royal court of Xihu before they felt that the situation was not good.

Now that they can leave with just one bag, they are satisfied.

An Ran's generals also asked An Ran for instructions whether to intercept and kill these people.

"We let them leave the capital, but we didn't say we wouldn't beat them in the future. If we fight them again after they leave the capital, it won't be considered a breach of contract." His subordinates said this.

An Ran did not agree and said: "Let them go. What we have to do now is to rectify the north. They are just trivial matters. I know you are afraid that if you let the tiger return to the mountains, there will be trouble in the future, but if you look at the equipment gap between us, you will be afraid What?"

Those people shook their heads. They had fought against the Xihu people countless times and had gained their courage. They were no longer afraid.

An Ran said: "That's it, don't worry. After the north is sorted out, I will build a bastion to the desert. One day, they will be forced to run elsewhere, or fight with us." Fighting. In the past, when we built a bastion over there, they might have thought that we were invading. But now, they invaded us first. If we develop over there now, it can be called a counterattack. They can't say that we are wrong at all. And once we have the support of the bastions along the way, we can fight even in the desert."

In the past, when the Central Plains Dynasty was in power, they were often harassed by the Xihu people. The reason why they did not fight was because they came and went like the wind in the desert and could not find their shadow at all.

But Enron's current strategy is different. Enron is preparing to proceed steadily and expand the bastion to the north.

Although the further north you go, the more desolate it becomes, but it's okay. If you plant afforestation and build a bastion together, you won't be afraid that you won't be able to build a bastion.

She is still very young now. In forty or fifty years, the desert in the north will become lush and lush.

As for the Xihu people, if they want to fight then, they will fight. If they don't, then she will let them leave and develop their territory in the west.
