Chapter 685 Granary
Xiao Mo heard the old man's words, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

"If you want to live, that's fine..."

Xiao Mo said to the old man: "Each person pays [-] catties of food, and then you can leave. This general promises not to embarrass you!"

It turned out that Xiao Moken let these people go because of the food!

The soldiers of the Huben camp, after the yellow-headed Uyghur entered the Gobi, they had very little dry rations left with them all the way.

But the soldiers haven't eaten meat for a long time. If there is no meat to eat, where will the strength come from to kill the enemy?
So Xiao Mo focused his attention on these common people.

Xiao Mo confessed to the old man: "All cattle, sheep and livestock must be handed over to this general!"

The old man almost cried when he heard this, he looked at Xiao Mo and said, "General, where can we get thirty catties of grain and livestock?"

"Huh?" Xiao Mo yelled coldly: "Is it your turn to meet the conditions? Or do you really want to die?"

Xiliang is located in the northwest, and the folk customs are tough. Originally, such people are the most troublesome!But they met Xiao Mo, and it was an angry Xiao Mo, an unreasonable Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo has always been a reasonable person, but when he is unreasonable... he is not a human being!
When he got angry, he wanted to burn and slaughter all the defenders in Xiliang City, and even killed his father, wife and son in front of Helian Gang!

He can also order the soldiers to kill the common people. In short, in the eyes of these common people, Xiao Mo is a killing god!
When meeting such a person, no matter how tough their folk customs are, they dare not speak up.

Then the people had no choice but to be guarded by soldiers, and they donated their food and livestock to Huben Camp one after another.

Many of them couldn't get together [-] catties of grain at all, and some of them couldn't get together [-] catties of grain per person because of the large population!
According to what Xiao Mo said, these people must die!
Xiao Mo kept his word and asked the soldiers to prepare for execution.

Finally, those old men couldn't stand it anymore, they pushed out the old man in front, and said to Xiao Mo: "General, the food is really not all together, why didn't the general open the granary?"

There was no way around this. The granary was originally the basis for the survival of these people in Xiliang City, but now it can only be dedicated to the Huben Camp.

Because if you don't give it, many people will be killed!
Hearing that there is still a granary, Xiao Mo's face was shocked, and then asked: "Isn't this granary in the military camp?"

Xiao Mo thought that the fire would burn down the granary, so he agreed to let these people go, and hoped to get some grain from them!

Not too much, Xiao Mo's request is not very high, as long as these soldiers can survive for about ten days, and they can persist until the reinforcements from Xining arrive, and then Xiao Mo will lead the army to attack back and forth with Wuzang Yepang and Ge Luolu, Take down Xuanhua Mansion and Qiangzhen Military Division!

The old man shook his head and said: "The granary is in the north of the city, and the military camp is in the south..."

Xiao Mo heard this, and hurriedly said to Zhao Guanying who was beside him: "Brother Zhao, take someone to fetch food!"

Zhao Guanying led thousands of troops to take orders.

Xiao Mo turned his head and said to the old man: "If there is food, you can leave, and... if there is enough food, this general can share some with you..."

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, these people couldn't believe that this devil from hell, who was like a killing god, would say such words.

In fact, Xiao Mo has always been very kind to the people, but because he saw thousands of soldiers being shot and killed at that time, Xiao Mo turned his anger on Xiliang City and the entire Xiliang people.

The people in Xiliang City were all overwhelmed, but they didn't dare to say anything in Xiao Mo!
"And... this general can also promise you that after Li Yuan is exterminated, Xiazhou will return to our An Dynasty, and you can continue to live and work in Xiliang in peace and contentment!" Xiao Mo paused, and then looked at the thousands of people. The people of Wan said: "In the future, this general can also promise to let the Central Plains do business with you, so that the people in the Western Regions can also live a good life!"

Do business?

Since Xiazhou was governed by the Li family, the commercial road between Anchao and Xiazhou was closed, because the Li family took the initiative to close the commercial road with the Central Plains in order to make money.

They do this not to rest on their laurels, but to make money.Because the Li family can monopolize the commercial trade with the Central Plains by closing the commercial road, and has always achieved the goal of accumulating money and capital!
As a result, the people of Xixia became more impoverished, so after hearing Xiao Mo's promise not only not to kill the people, but also to open up business for them to make money, their expressions obviously changed.

In the past, they hated and feared Xiao Mo, but now they feel that this devil-like person is actually not that scary.

"But..." Xiao Mo spoke again, "This general is only so kind to the people of our An Dynasty. If you are stubborn, you will help Li Yuan and help the rebels. What kind of independence and division are you trying to destroy our An Dynasty? Harmony, then not only will this general not give you such benefits, but he will also let you know what hell is!"

In short, Xiao Mo pointed out two roads to these people, one to go to heaven, the other to go to hell, it depends on how they choose.

Who would choose to go to hell?
Who would like to die?

No one would not like to live in a heaven-like world.

Living is everything!
Therefore, under Xiao Mo's coercion and temptation, the people of Xiliang chose to obey Xiao Mo.

And not long after, Zhao Guanying also sent soldiers back, and he asked Xiao Mo to tell Xiao Mo that he had indeed found a granary in the north of Xiliang City, and the grain hoarded in it was enough to feed tens of thousands of people for a month!

This should be all the food stored in the entire Xiliang Prefecture, and it seems to be hoarded for the people and soldiers of Xiliang Prefecture to spend the winter!

After Xiao Mo heard the news, he was almost ecstatic, but Xiao Mo did not forget his promise just now.Xiao Mo sent someone to find the old man, and said to him: "Call your fellow villagers, and follow my general's army to the north of the city to fetch food!"

The old man obviously hesitated after hearing this, and looked at Xiao Mo erratically.

He was obviously frightened by Xiao Mo's methods, now that Xiao Mo asked him to go get the food, he was afraid to go!

Xiao Mo didn't ink anything with the old man either, and led the soldiers away.

The old man froze in place, and after a long time, a brisk voice sounded in front of him.

"Let's go, he is Xiao Mo, he is famous for loving the people like a son, if you are willing to follow him, are you still afraid that he will kill you?"
