Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 744 The King is wise
Liu De's words made Kong Daqian's eyes twitch.

This guy usually came with questions before, but he never expected that this time he would come with conclusions directly.

From Kong Daqian's perspective, according to the current situation, even if nothing is done, Liu De will be finished sooner or later.

In this way, Kong Daqian was naturally more willing to maintain the status quo than to send troops.

Thinking of this, Kong Daqian maintained his inscrutable look and spoke slowly...

"Your Majesty, the people in the country are in constant turmoil. It would be too risky to send troops rashly. According to the opinion of my veteran minister, it is better to focus on appeasing the people and resuming farming. After this period is over and the food is harvested in the autumn, we can do it again. It’s not too late to plan.”

In Kong Daqian's view, Liu De couldn't solve the people's problem at all, so he was not afraid at all when talking about it.

Unexpectedly, Liu De at this time rejected his proposal without hesitation.

"According to the Imperial Preceptor, when will we have to go? And according to my opinion, as long as we capture the city and grab the food, all problems can be solved!"

Hearing these words, Kong Daqian took a deep look at Liu De.

Liu De's idea cannot be said to be completely wrong, but it requires great risks. It is very likely that as soon as the troops are sent out on the front foot, the rear foot will riot and fall.

Originally, Kong Daqian didn't care. After all, why was Liu De dead?
But he didn't know the situation outside now, and he was worried that he might accidentally cause trouble to them, so he made the suggestion just now.

But now Kong Daqian also saw that Liu De was not here to ask for his opinion from the beginning, but to gain his approval.

To put it simply, Liu De only wanted to hear one sentence, that is, 'Your Majesty is wise! '

Otherwise, no matter what you say, he will give you a hard dismissal.

Kong Daqian, who was already aware of this, naturally had no intention of getting into Liu De's troubles again, fearing that he would offend the guy and do something beyond his control.

"The king is wise."

Sure enough, as soon as these four words were spoken, Liu De immediately beamed. Apparently he also felt that he was quite wise.

Seeing this, Kong Daqian took advantage of the situation and guided the topic to another issue.

"So, has your Majesty decided which city to attack?"

"This is exactly why I came to see the Imperial Preceptor! Which city do the Imperial Preceptors think we should attack?"

Hearing this, Kong Daqian suddenly knew something in his heart.

[This guy has ideas, but not many. 】

In response to this situation, Kong Daqian looked calm on the surface, but he was somewhat troubled in his heart.

[Your Majesty, which city should I let Liu De attack now? ! 】

At this time, Kong Daqian wished that Zhou Xu could immediately send a message from thousands of miles away or ask him in a dream to tell him what to do.

The task assigned to him by the king was just to spread rumors and guide public opinion among the people on the opposite side. However, after being kidnapped by Liu De's men, the problems he had to face obviously began to go beyond the scope!
Fortunately, he is quite smart, and Liu De is really not a smart person, so he got to this point.

At this moment, facing this problem, Kong Daqian couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

As a farmer, how had he ever considered this issue before? Now I am forced to think about it.

After some thinking, Kong Daqian had an idea in his mind.

"Your Majesty, according to my opinion, we should attack Xianyang City!"

As soon as he said this, even Liu De, who had been very arrogant before, was shocked.

After all, it was the capital of the tyrant Yan Sheng. Liu De subconsciously thought that it should be the most difficult city to attack. "National Preceptor, is it not safe to attack Xianyang City?"

Liu De's words made Kong Daqian secretly despise him.

[You alone are not safe? Do you know how to write the word 'safe'? 】

But what he said was...

"Your Majesty, please be patient and listen to my analysis."

While speaking, Kong Daqian had quickly sorted out his thoughts, and then used his eloquent words again.

"Right now we are in Xishan City, and there are only three cities we can attack, namely Black Stone City, Green Forest City and Xianyang City."

"Over at Black Rock City, the tyrant Yan Sheng and the general Xie Liancheng are most likely stationed there with large troops. It would be too dangerous to attack Black Rock City."

"As for Green Forest City, Long Xiaotian, one of the Four Dragon Generals, is in charge, and his strength cannot be underestimated."

"In addition, Long Aotian is in Feiyan City, and Long Potian has surrendered. Who is left in Xianyang City?"

Faced with Kong Daqian's sudden question, Liu De was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and clapped his thigh excitedly.

"The four dragon generals are all at the border, the tyrant Yan Sheng and the general Xie Liancheng are in Black Rock City, and there is no one left in Xianyang City?!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

When Kong Daqian saw this, he quickly flattered Liu De again.

He gradually lost himself in the sound of "The King is wise".

"As the capital, Xianyang City seems difficult to attack, but in fact its defensive strength is the weakest right now!"

"And Xianyang City is the capital! There must be a large amount of food and materials accumulated in this capital. Once captured, it will not only boost our momentum, but also receive a large amount of material supplements, killing two birds with one stone!"

"Okay, okay! Let's attack Xianyang City!!"

Liu De was so excited by Kong Daqian's words that he immediately made up his mind to attack Xianyang City.

"I'm going to gather the troops right now!"

After speaking, Kong Daqian let out a long breath as he looked at Liu De who left happily.

[I don’t know whether Black Stone City is in the hands of the king or Yan Sheng at this moment, but Xianyang City is still in Yan Sheng’s hands after all, right? Just let Liu De and Yan Sheng go dog-eat-dog. There should be nothing wrong with me doing this, right? 】

At the same time, after leaving Green Forest City, Zhou Xu rode a fast horse all the way and now arrived at Xianyang City.

During his absence, the entire set of plans that had been arranged earlier were carried out as usual.

Now one spring has come, and the population in each city, including Xianyang City and Feiyan City that were occupied later, has already undergone a major transfer.

And while transferring, I got a job, and through work, I got a stable income and food, and a stable life again!

This made Zhou Xu's reputation soar among the people here.

This is what the people want, not what Liu De's bowl of porridge that day can compare to!

Nowadays, these newly surrendered people sing praises to Zhou Xu from the bottom of their hearts, because under the governance of this new king, the people can feel that their lives are getting better and better.
