Back then, when the reincarnators from the Cultivator Academy were sent to the Northern Lands to establish their own army, w.a.n.g Biao and the others were defeated by the Qin army with hundreds of thousands of carefully selected troops.
This directly caused the emperor to lose confidence in the other reincarnators.
As for the other group, they were of course the reincarnators under Li Yueming. Including Qi Fan, there were a total of 25 people.
From the battle results alone, the reincarnators gathered in the Star Moon Army should be quite strong.
However, the number of people was much lower than the other reincarnators.
Naturally, the other reincarnators did not take him seriously.
In the past few months, the Qin army in the north had taken down two more towns.
Even the Starmoon Troop had sacrificed many men.
You Aotian and the Northern Battlefront Army all felt a heavy pressure.
The imperial court was more lenient towards the north than the west.
Over the years, other than sending troops under Prince Yu, he had also mobilized troops from other places to a.s.sist the Northern Lands.
Therefore, the military forces in the North could barely hold on.
However, the years of war had harmed the people of the Northlands.
Many years ago, the Qin army had sent a small troop to trample and drive away the Northlanders. They did not allow the Northlanders to sow, causing the Northlanders to have no harvest for several years.
In the end, if the Imperial Court had not grunted its teeth and distributed a few months of relief food, the Northern Lands would have been empty by now.
Finally catching his breath, he ordered some food.
The grain that had been saved hadn’t even had time to be replanted. In the end, years of war had once again descended on this disaster-ridden land.
The imperial court was currently unable to take care of itself, so it was naturally impossible to send out relief food like it did a few years ago.
Desperate disaster victims wanted to escape to the Central Plains, which was relatively more prosperous, but they found that the imperial court had long blocked the throat of the Dragon and Tiger Pa.s.s that led to the Central Plains.
He wanted to go east, but he found that King Yu in the east was even more ruthless. He directly sent a large number of troops to guard the few cities that entered the pa.s.s. If the disaster victims approached, they did not need to say anything and would shoot arrows at them like hedgehogs.
As for the western frontier, there were also imperial court troops guarding the various pa.s.ses there.
The western border was not rich to begin with, and the main forces of the Qin army were still outside the West Garrison Pa.s.s, ready to move out at any time. The people were rushing to escape, and did not want to continue suffering from the war in another place.
Therefore, the people who realized that there was no way out looked around.
Only now did they realize that there was no place for them in such a big world.
A large number of people began to gather and cause trouble. After all, people’s eyes would turn green when they were hungry. As long as they could find a bite to eat, they would do anything.
Under such circ.u.mstances, Li Yueming’s Northern Glacier Town welcomed a second surge in population.
The vast majority of the tens of millions of refugees in the North were unaware of the situation in Northern Glacier Town.
However, a small portion of them found Northern Glacier Town.
In just a few months, the refugees lining up outside Northern Glacier Town did not stop for 24 hours a day.
He looked at the dense crowd outside Northern Ice River Town.
Tian Liang and the others who were in charge didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Having a large population was naturally a good thing. After all, whether it was to improve the town’s economy or to strengthen the military, it could not be separated from the population.
However, having too many people was also a happy and painful thing. This was especially so when the people they were facing were a group of refugees.
How to settle them, how to distribute food..
Every single one of them could not be mistaken.
Fortunately, Qi Fan, who had gone to poach them some time ago, replied. The secret letter stated that he had poached seven or eight reincarnators who were proficient in agriculture and animal husbandry. At this moment, they were on their way back to Northern Ice River Town.
Otherwise, Tian Liang and the others would not dare to let so many refugees continue to flood into the city.
Then, the problem came.
The reincarnators in the Star Moon Army scratched their heads and could not figure out one thing. What kind of bewitching potion did Li Yueming pour into Qi Fan to make him, a Beast Tamer who originally belonged to the State of Qin, so loyal to the Star Moon Army?
