Lu Kang showed a cold-blooded side at this time. He ordered the army not to worry about the people's obstacles and forcefully leave the city. If those people dared to continue to surround, Lu Kang had issued a ban on killing orders. Those who wantonly obstruct and destroy the unruly will be punished, and even killed without mercy.

Lu Kang did not have that kind of womanly kindness. As a general, he had to consider the safety of the army and officials more. These people were the foundation for defending Jingzhou. As for the common people, it was not that they were not important, but the Wei army was approaching at this moment. If Lu Kang really wanted to take them away, then no one would be able to leave.

So Lu Kang simply made up his mind and abandoned all the people in Wuchang. This was a forced decision. If there was a solution, Lu Kang would never do this, because of this move, he might even lose the hearts of the entire Jingzhou people.

But now Lu Kang has no better way. This retreat is quite hasty and there will inevitably be sacrifices. This is also for the sake of the overall situation and for the sake of the overall situation, it is unwilling to give up part of it.

It is often difficult to make a decision between taking into account the overall situation and making choices, but indecisiveness is a taboo for military strategists. Lu Kang knew this well. The situation was extremely urgent at this time. The Wei army might attack the city of Wuchang at any time. If there is a little hesitation and hesitation, he would not be able to leave at that time.

At this time, the iron blood and firm side of Lu Kang showed made all the soldiers of the Wu army frightened. They had never seen Lu Kang so tough, as cold and hard as a stone, and inhumane.

But the more this happens, the more these soldiers are in awe of Lu Kang and do not dare to quarrel against Lu Kang's military orders. They can see from Lu Kang's gloomy eyes that Lu Kang's military orders this time are not a joke, they must be serious. Whoever dares to disobey the military orders will be killed without mercy.

When the Wu army retreated in an orderly manner, when it was almost gone, Bu Xie rushed to Lu Kang and asked: "General, all the food, fodder and supplies that can be taken away have been taken away, and almost all the things that cannot be taken away have been destroyed. Will you set fire to the city next?"

Bu Xie was responsible for transporting grain and supplies. He could carry a lot of food and supplies when he went to Jiangling by water. Most of the food and supplies had been loaded on board, leaving only a part of the relatively bulky materials and equipment that were not used for too much. Bu Xie also destroyed them all on the spot according to Lu Kang's requirements. Even if these things cannot be taken away, they must not be left to the Wei army.

What remains now is Wuchang City. If the customary rule is that when the Wu army evacuated Wuchang, it would carry out large-scale damage to Wuchang City without leaving anything to the Wei army, including the city.

Just like when Dong Zhuo was defeated by the eighteen princes and evacuated Luoyang, a fire burned Luoyang clean, and Sun Jian, the first to fight to Luoyang, was already scorched earth.

This time, the Wu army took the initiative to give up Wuchang, and seemed to be like Dong Zhuo, burning Wuchang and leaving only a piece of scorched earth for the Wei army.

Of course, this plan must also be approved by Lu Kang. No one dares to make decisions about such a major matter, including Bu Xie.

After hearing this, Lu Kang looked at Wuchang City with a gloomy face. He sighed softly and said, "I have no choice but to the people of Wuchang to withdraw my troops this time. If Wuchang City is burned again, wouldn't I betray the criminal? If the order is passed, no one shall set fire in the city without authorization. Those who violate the order will be killed!"

Lu Kang can no longer remember how many military orders issued today, but at extraordinary times, Lu Kang has always been more strict in grasping this.

In fact, setting fire to Wuchang will have little impact on the Wei army. The Wei army's food supply basically comes from the north of Jiang or the south of Jianye. Even if the Wu army turns Wuchang into a pile of ruins at this moment, the Wei army will just take a detour and will not have any impact.

In fact, this is more of a kind of psychological comfort. Don’t do to others what you do not want others to do to you. Wu State has been managing Wuchang for many years, and this is the capital of Wu State. In order to build Wuchang, the Wu people spent nearly decades. Now they have given up without a single arrow, which really makes the Wu soldiers feel uncomfortable.

But Lu Kang did not have such thoughts in his mind. In Lu Kang's view, giving up the people of Wuchang was already an impulse. If he ordered the city to burn it at this moment, he would be even more sorry for the people of Wuchang.

Although they learned the news of the Wei army's invasion, only a few of the people in Wuchang chose to escape from Wuchang City and ran to the nearby mountains to avoid the war. In addition, most of the people chose to continue to stay in the city. No matter whether it is a blessing or a disaster, they will face it with it.

Most of these people have their houses, their homes and their industries in Wuchang City, so it is difficult for these people to make up their minds to escape.

And the more reason is that since the Wei army attacked into the territory of Wu, the people of Yumin have not violated them at all. The news spread, and the people of Wuchang naturally hoped that the Wei army could not harass the people as the legendary ones.

Of course, no one can guarantee that this is true. After all, hearing is false, seeing is true. Before the Wei army arrived in Wuchang, everything was still unknown.

Of course, Lu Kang would not displace so many people, so he flatly denied the proposal to set fire to the city and save the people of Wuchang from suffering.

Of course, Lu Kang had some thoughts, that is, this time he fled Wuchang, which is only temporary. They will still fight back to Wuchang in the future, so now they are just temporarily letting the Wei army take over Wuchang. When the time is right, they will kill someone to fight back.

If they wait for them to return to Wuchang, but they have to face the pile of scorched earth and abandoned city they have created, how can they feel at that time?

So Lu Kang did not move Wuchang City, but kept it intact, which could be regarded as leaving a hope and also keeping himself a hope, even if he deceived himself.

But as for whether they can return to Wuchang in the future, it is really an unknown number, and Lu Kang's heart was filled with depression.

The Wei army is really too strong now. Even if they join forces with the Shu army, their strength is not enough to compete with the Wei army. Lu Kang is not sure what the final outcome of this Jingzhou battle will be.

However, surrender has never been one of Lu Kang's options. No matter how difficult the situation is, he will definitely persevere. This is Lu Kang's will and he will never surrender!
