retaliate

Chapter 1539

After the army broke through Fangzhou, the emperor was surprisingly calm.

"If you want to eat delicious food, you have to be patient. There is a kind of tofu, which is surprisingly smelly, but it tastes surprisingly fragrant. This tofu is made in a weird way. The tofu is placed on straw, and a layer of straw is covered on top. After three or five years Every day, an inch-long white hair will grow on the tofu..."

On the head of Fangzhou City, the throats of all the officials felt a little sick.

The emperor stood in the middle and said eloquently, "Remove the white hair, fry it, or grill it, the taste...is absolutely amazing!"

"Is it really edible?" Everyone else felt disgusted, but Wang Laoer wrote down the process and was going to go back to test it.

"This thing is called stinky tofu." The emperor smiled and said, "Now the puppet emperor and his son are in Yizhou. Now that the news of Fangzhou's fall comes, their father and son will be like ants on a hot pot. This is to put the tofu in the straw. They will panic, despair, and look for a solution everywhere. But they turn around, but they can't do anything. I heard that a thousand years ago, a general led an army blocked by a river, and his hair turned gray overnight. What will happen to the false emperor and his son?"

The emperor went down from the city to inspect the army.

Han Ji and He Lianrong stayed on the top of the wall.

"Your Majesty's comparison with stinky tofu is to make the false emperor and his son suffer!" Han Ji said with a smile, "It can be seen that His Majesty hates the pair of father and son."

"The so-called happy enmity, chopped off with a knife, and then lost. How can it be more enjoyable to push the enemy into a desperate situation step by step."

He Lianrong thought of the method he used to deal with the Shegu people, shook his head and said: "The poor monk was wrong back then."

"What's wrong?"

"The poor monk should have gone to ask His Majesty for advice. Instead of rushing to kill those Shegu people."

The emperor inspected the army, especially the death camps.

"After the land of Shu is pacified, if you want to leave, just go! The fields and houses are all ready for you." The emperor was very amiable.

The soldiers of the Death Battalion knelt down, "Thank you Your Majesty!"

A feeling of bewilderment overwhelmed the soldiers of the Death Battalion.

They fought with the emperor all the way, and every time they went out, they put their heads on their belts and didn't take their lives seriously.Everyone is ready to go and never return.

But now the war is coming to an end, and once the land of Shu is broken, only the Western Frontier remains in the world.

The western border is barren, and it is impossible for the army and civilians to follow Xing Guogong Zhao Song to rebel.Therefore, once the land of Shu is broken, the world will be considered peaceful.

The Death Battalion is useless.

My whole body relaxed, and then a thought floated up.

what can i do
A death battalion sergeant scratched his head, "Leaving... I feel a little scared when I leave the death camp, and I look outside. I can't say I'm afraid, but... I can't explain anything."

These fierce soldiers who don't take their lives seriously are really at a loss at this moment.

"That's not fear, but...we've been away for too long." An old soldier coughed dryly, "We've been fighting, killing, or being killed all these years. Killing is all in our minds. But the outside world But it’s singing and dancing. The hand holding the knife is going to pick up a hoe, or hold a scale, mother! That feeling, it’s not right!”

The killing instinct in his bones would make these fierce soldiers an unstable factor in society, and the emperor took this into consideration.

"Those thugs who are willing to leave will be rewarded with enough money, houses and fields. Just one thing, let the local people visit them every now and then. Remember, it's visits, not imprisonment."

Even though those soldiers were from the Northern Liao Dynasty, the deadly enemy back then, but at this moment the emperor was moved, "We must appease them and let them gradually get used to the peaceful years. Just say... I said, whoever bullied these people, I will kill whoever !"

Every time an expedition is made, the most dangerous work is that these soldiers rush to the forefront. Countless times, they have opened the door to victory.

No one disputes this.

"After all, people's hearts are made of meat." Jielong said with tears in his eyes, "We can be considered as part of it."

He Lianrong said: "Your Majesty is the most ruthless towards the enemy, as evidenced by those Jingguan in the old place of the Northern Liao Dynasty. It is not easy for those soldiers."

"It's not easy for you." Jielong said.

"After all, the most difficult years have passed." He Lianrong thought of his wife and children, and suddenly found that his wife and children seemed a little far away.

He stroked his bald head, remembered the faces of his wife and children, and told himself to keep remembering them until the moment of his death.

Maybe, I can still get together with my wife and children!
The first wave of scouts is back.

The emperor was eating a big pot of rice with the soldiers in the barracks, and he was berating the cook.

"I don't need money for this salt? Put a lot of it, and it's too salty to eat. If you cook at home, you won't taste it? How do you let the soldiers eat the food that the cooks don't like to eat?"

The cook knelt down and apologized.

"Don't say that you can't coddle the soldiers, lest they will not be able to suffer during the war." The emperor pointed to Pei Jian, "Even during the war, we must try our best to ensure that the food for the soldiers is not only sufficient, but also delicious."

"Yes!" Pei Jian bowed his head.

"Being kind to soldiers is not empty talk, it must be put into practice!" The emperor beat the generals under his command.

Here come the scouts.

"Your Majesty, the gates of Tongcheng are closed."

"Are there scouts and rangers attacking?" the emperor asked.

"No."

"It seems that the false emperor wants to stick to it?" The emperor was startled, then shook his head, "He can't stick to it, that's not in his nature. He wants to escape! Where is the second child?"

Tu Chang said: "The second child should be in place now."

The emperor said: "A group of heavenly demons! At this moment, I am looking forward to this big show in Tongcheng."

……

"There is no possibility of a counterattack!"

Li Mi yelled at Li Yuan very annoyed, "People in the city are in panic. That evil army is on its way to Tongcheng. The scouts have already arrived at the city. This battle will be defeated."

"Then, the plan for now is to go!"

Li Yuan said: "Taking advantage of the panic in the city, I left in plain clothes."

"I've thought about it, but if we leave, it's okay if there are fewer people. If there are more people, the goal is too big, and the soldiers will be in an uproar, and if they don't make it right, they will turn against each other."

"The number of people is small, and you will worry about your own safety." Li Yuan sighed: "Your temperament is like this. You want everything, but you can't get anything in the end. Since you want to do something, there will be risks. But you need to weigh it Pros and cons."

"That scoundrel won't let us go. If we bring too few people, what will we do if we encounter sergeants searching?"

Han Shitou stood aside, watching the quarrel between the father and son calmly.

"Your Majesty, the King of Yue is asking to see you."

A servant came to report.

"What is he here for?" Li Mi asked coldly.

"It's a panic." Li Yuan said, "I have the same temper as you."

……

The king of Yue was waiting outside the palace.

Li Mi insisted on calling the newly built palace the Xinggong, which also represented his determination to counterattack key problems.

The newly built palace looks very majestic... There are many mountains in the middle of Shu, and there are many giant trees in the mountains.In order to transport those giant trees, Li Bizheng sent tens of thousands of people.This is because the palace group is not large.If a palace of the same size as Chang'an is to be rebuilt, at least more than [-] people will have to be conscripted.

Behind him, Zhao Dongping said softly: "During the change of Luofengpo, most of the servants and palace servants who followed from Chang'an escaped. Your Majesty had no choice but to recruit many people into the palace again after arriving in Sichuan. The old man bought two The newly promoted eunuchs from the Shu region will take care of the king after they take action later."

The King of Yue nodded.

A servant came out, "Your Majesty, please come with your servants."

Zhao Dongping hurriedly said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, take care!"

King Yue turned his head back, "Relax."

Seeing King Yue follow his servants into the palace, Zhao Dongping raised his head and cursed softly: "This is a bastard of the world! You are forcing people..."

……

King Yue was walking in the palace, and the palace servants saluted one after another, and he responded with a smile.

"What a polite and polite prince!" A palace maid said obsessively as she turned to look at the King Yue who had gone away.

Li Mi has returned to the palace where he handles political affairs.

In the main hall, Li Mi was sitting behind the table, on which were more than a dozen memorials.

In the past, there were at least dozens of memorials above.

Under the panic, the minds of the courtiers were also confused.

King Yue appeared outside the hall, and he took a look inside.

Li Mi sat in the old place without raising her head.

Han Shitou stood under the steps with a calm expression, like a stone sculpture.

Several servants and court ladies stood further below.

This is strict hierarchy.

King Yue saluted, "Boy, I have seen Aye!"

Li Bi didn't look up, "What are you doing here?"

"My son heard that Yang Ni's army is coming, and I feel a little uneasy." King Yue stepped into the hall.

"What are you worried about?" Li Mi put the memorial on the table, and tapped on the table with his fingers, "Tongcheng is as solid as gold."

"Yes, Du Que's incompetence caused Fangzhou to fall. But although Tongcheng is strong, I'm worried that those officials will surrender to the enemy."

"The people on the stage are staring at them." Li Bi said lightly, "You shouldn't worry about these things."

"Yes, my son has overstepped." The King of Yue stepped forward slowly, "My son heard that evil bastard said that whoever can capture Aye and A Weng alive can be named a marquis..."

"Fenghou? It's too stingy." Li Mi sneered.

"Yes! But the boy is worried that someone will take the risk, so he asked people to go outside to find out the news."

The King of Yue sighed, "Aye, I don't know what my son found out."

"What did you find out?" Li Mi frowned.

"Haier asked people to go to restaurants and brothels to inquire about news, and happened to meet Youwuwei General Chen Xiao and Youxiaowei General Yang Minghe for a secret discussion."

It was these two subordinates who launched Luofengpo's remonstrance. The emperor always wanted to kill them, but he was worried that the new recruits recruited by Shu would have to rely on the old soldiers from Chang'an to control the situation, so he stayed. Those two died.

"Oh! Those two thieves!" Li Bi sneered.

"The two of them discussed in secret, planning to launch a mutiny when Yang Ni's army arrives in Tongcheng. Like Luo Fengpo, they will surround Aye, cooperate inside and outside, and welcome Yang Ni into the city..."

King Yue walked down the steps and stood opposite Han Shitou.

"I know." The emperor waved his hand, and seeing that King Yue didn't leave, he asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Have!"

"Say!"

"My child wants to... kill the king!"
