Faced with this group of poor hungry people, Han Qi also felt compassion, but General Wang next to him advised him not to be impulsive. After all, after the war, the entire Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were full of hungry people. Even if they dispersed all the food and grass they escorted, they could not help them. The most important thing now is to ensure the supply of food from the army.

Han Qi naturally knew that the army was the most important thing now, but in the end he left a few bags of food for the hungry people, so that at least they could have a full meal and have the strength to go to Xijin Mansion. Now the court is about to rebuild the Great Wall. Although it mainly uses prisoners of war, there are still some people who rely on prisoners of war alone, and they will definitely organize the civilians at that time. These hungry people are the best targets for recruitment. After all, they only want a full meal, and fewer hungry people can greatly increase Yan Yun's stability.

After leaving the food, Han Qi rushed to Datong Mansion again, but what he didn't expect was that after leaving for two days, he encountered several waves of hungry people. This time the king died and refused to release food. Han Qi knew that he could not save so many people, so he had no choice but to tell the hungry people and let them go to the nearest prefecture. After arriving at Datong Mansion, he would instruct the prefectures to organize the hungry people, so that many people should be saved by then.

A few days later, Han Qi and his group finally reached Datong Mansion. When Liu Ping heard that Han Qi had come in person, he immediately went out of the city to greet them. However, when Han Qi entered the city, he found that Datong had not been completely defeated, and there were still six or seven thousand Liao troops guarding the imperial city and refused to come out.

"General Liu, it's best to persuade these Liao troops to surrender. There are still too few prisoners of war now. It's impossible to build a Great Wall without a hundred thousand people." When Han Qi learned that there were still so many Liao troops besieging the city, he immediately said to Liu Ping with his eyes radiating.

"Don't worry, I've kept these prisoners of war for you, otherwise a mere imperial city would not be able to withstand the bombardment of artillery!" Liu Ping also smiled at this time.

"Then when will these Liao troops surrender? It is always a threat to keep them in the imperial city?" Han Qi asked again at this time. He came to Datong to take over the place, but there were so many Liao troops in the city, and he could not manage it normally.

"It's been these two days. There is not much food in the imperial city. The Liao army has been trapped for so many days and the food has been eaten up. If he doesn't come out, he will have to starve to death." Liu Ping immediately smiled again. In fact, he found that the Liao army in the imperial city was already exhausted in the past two days. If he sent troops to attack at this time, he might be able to capture the imperial city with just one charge. However, since he wanted to surrender these people, he naturally did not want to add casualties.

Han Qi was very happy to hear this. He wanted to go and see the besieged Liao army in person, but Liu Ping also prepared a welcome banquet for him, and some things needed to be explained to him, so Han Qi could only go to the banquet first, eat and chat with Liu Ping and the generals in the army, and also gave him more knowledge about Datong.

After the banquet, it was already dusk. Han Qi suggested that he wanted to go to the imperial city, and Liu Ping was going to patrol there, so the two rode their horses and walked along the streets while chatting. Han Qi also took the opportunity to patrol Datong Mansion and found that many parts of the city were destroyed by war, and the blood in some places had not been cleaned yet. This shows the tragic tragedy when the siege was first attacked.

At this time, the curfew was almost there. The pedestrians on the street were all in a hurry, and the shops on both sides of the street were also busy closing. However, in a city that had just experienced the war and had not yet ended, there were pedestrians on the street and the shops were also opened, which shows that the entire city had begun to operate basically, which made Han Qi highly praised Liu Ping. After all, ordinary generals could not do this level.

After passing through the main road of Datong Prefecture, Han Qi and the others quickly arrived at the imperial city. They saw that the imperial city was in the main form. Although the specifications were not as good as those of the imperial city of the Song Dynasty, the area was also quite large. You could vaguely see the corner eaves of the palace in the city after passing through the city wall, and the Liao army flag was still standing at the top of the city.

"Huh? Why didn't there not a Liao army on the top of the city?" Han Qi looked at the top of the city and then asked curiously, because although there were many flags on the top of the city, there were no figures. This made the entire city look empty, and the city wall was surrounded by Song troops.

"Haha, the Liao army in the city has eaten up all the food. They are so hungry these days that they can't even stand up. Now they can only lie under the female wall to breathe." Liu Ping explained with a smile.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a noise in the area where the Song army was stationed in the city. Then the aroma of food came over. It turned out that the Song army was about to start eating. White steam was emitting from the big iron pot. Even Han Qi could tell the smell of potatoes from the aroma. Now potatoes are military rations of the Song Dynasty. This thing can be used as both a dish and a staple food. The only problem is that it is not resistant to storage. It must be consumed as soon as possible after a large amount of harvest every year.

As the Song army started cooking, the aroma of the food drifted straight to the top of the city. Then I saw that the empty city suddenly had a lot of heads. It was the Liao army who had been lying on the city wall before. However, these people now looked like starving ghosts, staring at the Song army who were feasting below with green light.

"No wonder the general is so confident. If the Liao army is tortured like this, I'm afraid it won't last long." Han Qi looked at the Liao army that appeared more and more on the city, and immediately smiled. He was from an official family and had never been hungry since he was a child. However, he saw too many hungry people along the way, so he naturally knew that hunger could torture people into ghosts, and he even saw with his own eyes that cannibalism.

"The besieged Liao army general is Yelu Akula. This man was born in the Khitan royal family and was loyal to the Liao Kingdom. Therefore, he swears to never surrender when he was besieged. However, although he is unwilling to surrender, it does not mean that his soldiers will be willing to starve to death with him, so I want to see how long the Liao army can hold on." Liu Ping smiled again immediately.

It was a coincidence. As soon as Liu Ping finished speaking, he suddenly saw a rope ladder hanging from the Liao army's city. Then someone went down the ladder to the city, which made Liu Ping and Han Qi look surprised.

"It's not that coincidental. I was about to surrender as soon as I came to the Liao army?" After a while, Han Qi whispered in surprise.
