Chapter 394: Managing Six Thousand People (3)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Although these two towns aren’t as prosperous as Qings.h.i.+ Town, they’re not small either. The important thing is that the place is more rural and not so eye-catching.”
“Previously, i asked Zhou s.h.i.+ and Hei Gang to inquire about buying a manor. In the end, they found that the manors in Qings.h.i.+ Town are expensive, but the price of the manor in Taohua Town is low, and there are many sellers.”
“The situation at Daxi Town should be similar.”
“So, as long as we have money on hand, we can buy some more manors and settle the remaining people.”
Li Xiao’s heart skipped.
“In this case, arranging accommodation for 6,000 people is actually not difficult. The difficult part is how to get them to come here.”
Li Xiao frowned.
Yes, it was too difficult for 6,000 people to come into three towns so close to each other without anyone noticing.
Lin Xiaoyue reached out and stroked Li Xiao’s brows.
“They have to split up.” Lin Xiaoyue said.
Li Xiao’s heart skipped a beat. His hand grabbed Lin Xiaoyue’s and he pulled her into his arms.
“You’re right.” He sighed.
“Previously, Manager Fang had discussed with me to arrange for the soldiers to retreat to Hanshan Town. After that, they would disperse and retreat to the the Great Yan.”
“Hanshan Town?” Lin Xiaoyue asked.
“Yes. Hanshan Town is the closest town to the border. The routes are clear.”
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up.
“Is it near the Chang River?” She immediately asked.
Qings.h.i.+ Town was right beside the Chang River.
Li Xiao smiled and shook his head. “Mian River.” He said.
Lin Xiaoyue was instantly disappointed.
Although she did not know much about the geography of the Great Yan, she knew that the Mian River and the Chang River were located in different areas.
Li Xiao patted Lin Xiaoyue’s head.
“Even so, taking a boat from Hanshan Town will only take half a day to reach Qingyuan County.”
“Twenty miles west of Qingyuan County is Xiangshui Town, and Xiangshui Town is by the Chang River.”
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up again.
“After they reach Xiangshui Town, they can take a boat to Qings.h.i.+ Town!”
“It’s not that simple.”
“Then what exactly is your plan?” Lin Xiaoyue didn’t want to guess anymore. She wanted to listen to Li Xiao’s plan before expressing her opinion.
Li Xiao looked at the person in his arms and continued, “they will evacuate at night. After arriving at Hanshan Town, we will arrange for the soldiers to retreat in three ways.”
“3,000 people on the water route, 1,500 on each of the remaining two routes.”
“In this way, the pursuers will be scattered. In addition, the border can’t be left without guards for long. They will most likely give up.”
“After that, the people in the northwest and southeast will go into the villages and pretend to be villagers. They just need to avoid the officials.”
“The only problem is the three thousand people who will take the water route.” Li Xiao said in a deep voice.
“They are the biggest targets and the easiest to track. Moreover, the officials will most likely guess that the destination is Qingyuan County. As such, they would most likely be ambushed in Qingyuan County.”
Lin Xiaoyue’s heart tightened.
“Then what should we do?”
“They are not going to Qingyuan County.”
“All?” Lin Xiaoyue was surprised.
Li Xiao hugged Lin Xiaoyue tightly. “They will go to Luoyan Town and Fengwei Town above Qingyuan County.”
“Then, just like before, they hide among the people and flee in different directions.”
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up.
“So, they are just baiting them?!”
When they realized that the targets had scattered and fled, and that the targets in two directions were relatively difficult to catch up to, they would go for the biggest target and the easiest to pursue!
Li Xiao nodded.
“Six thousand is too many. They only stand a chance when they split up.”
Lin Xiaoyue looked at Li Xiao, her eyes full of admiration.
As expected of a general. He was intelligent.
“According to this plan, they could escape from the border. However, how do we bring everyone together?”
With so many people going to the same place, it would be hard not to be discovered.
“I didn’t think of hiring the soldiers to work for us before this.” Li Xiao said.
Therefore, the evacuation was actually disbanding.
Lin Xiaoyue was stunned.
She thought of something and felt a warmth in her heart. She pressed her head against Li Xiao’s chest.
That’s right. If she hadn’t asked Liang Yu to meet her before, Liang Yu wouldn’t have noticed Li Xiao.
They might be able to live a peaceful life in Dais.h.i.+ Village.
Why would Li Xiao need the army?
Li Xiao’s heart was also filled with warmth. He patted the back of Lin Xiao Yue’s head with his hand.
“However, since we have decided to take revenge, we have to make some arrangements.”
“Yes.” Lin Xiaoyue replied..
