Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 522
All the captives stared wide-eyed and small-eyed for a while, until the first rough man couldn't help protesting in his stomach, and while gulping porridge, he yelled vaguely, "I don't care, let's talk about filling my stomach. I sent troops earlier, and I will I said that my family can't beat my family, but who listened. It's good to be alive now. The general is as lenient as these people say, and I will follow him. Even if I regret it tomorrow and want to chop off our heads, You can't be a starving ghost either!"

Perhaps he was right, but everyone was really hungry, and soon the tent was filled with the sound of drinking porridge.

The veteran outside the tent knocked on the porridge bucket triumphantly, and said triumphantly, "Go, next one. These people have been recruited, and they will all be brothers fighting side by side in the future. In a few days, maybe the general will not have 5 horses." , a total of [-], which is more than the two anti-kings."

Big stick and carrot, kindness and power.

People who belonged to one country, compatriots bred by the Jinshui River, it is a foolish thing to kill them, but now they are captives, and they are taken care of by good food and drink. Even the hardest-hearted people are softened and grateful.

Within a few days, [-] captives surrendered no matter whether they were sincerely loyal or forced by the situation.Then they were planned to be broken up and divided into various centurions, mixed with the Chinese army, trained together, ate and drank together, and gradually became familiar with each other.

Just when everyone guessed that the general was going to take advantage of the momentum to pursue the two anti-kings, the general suddenly sent 2 people and returned to the capital, causing everyone to be puzzled for a while.

Not to mention how busy it was outside the Sanfan city, but to mention the two anti-king armies. The remaining [-] soldiers managed to set up camp, but they had no food or drink. Arrived late.

The two anti-kings have been blaming each other for a long time, but unfortunately, no amount of anger can stop their hungry stomachs, and they are already exhausted by now.

The two old ministers who came a step late just because of raising food and grass, listened to the battle from the beginning to the end, and wished to hang up the two anti-kings and beat them up.

Running long distances, attacking rashly without setting up a camp and gaining a foothold first, could it be that they really treat the invincible general as a paper tiger.Even if the name is not worthy of the name, there are still 5 horses.

Could it be that it is also paper?
The intestines of the two old ministers are turning green, how can they let their two grandsons eat, drink and have fun after so many years, if they have learned a book of war, they will not make such a mistake.

The two of them were powerless even if they wanted to scold the generals. Do you want to teach them to disobey orders and disrespect their superiors?

There is a predicament in front of you, there is an army of [-] stalking tigers, ready to attack at any time, and the road to transport supplies is far away, and it will be cut off at any time.

Worst of all, when I woke up the next morning, there were snowflakes in the sky.

Winter has finally come late, but it also means that the best time to fight has passed.

No one wants to fight against the wind and snow in the winter.What's more, it is still a losing situation that anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly.

The two ministers got together to discuss a few words, but had no choice but to retreat.

Back to the border again, stick to the city, recuperate, maybe in the spring, there is still a battle.

Originally, they thought that Gong Zhiming would definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue after such a defeat and retreat.But unexpectedly, one day passed, two days passed, and after walking a full three hundred miles, they saw that they were halfway to the border, and there was still no sign of the pursuers.

Not to mention the curiosity and doubts of the two anti-king armies, even in the barracks outside the Sanfan city, a group of generals jumped anxiously. There are not many opportunities to beat a dog in the water like this, so why did the general let it go easily.

Let the tiger go back to the mountain, maybe it will be eaten by the tiger one day!
The generals couldn't bear it anymore, thinking that the general treated them very kindly, so they all went to the big tent.

Gong Zhiming was frowning with the secret report sent by the secret guard. He had led people deep into Dayue earlier, needless to say, even a fool would have guessed it. It was extremely dangerous.

Therefore, except that Donghao Capital retained a few people from the Linzi Group, and the Jinzi Department continued to control the secret shops and business routes, almost all of the other departments followed to Dayue.

Now it has been scattered all over Dayue, especially in Kyoto. The houses of important officials, teahouses and restaurants are almost all under their surveillance.

The secret report sent today was about the refugees outside the capital city, and the first snowfall also visited the capital city.If you have the burden of hot food and fur to keep you warm, it is also a great thing to prepare table wine and food, enjoy the snow and recite poems.

But for the refugees outside the city, they were hungry and disheveled. Seeing Luoxue again was like a disaster.

The relief food sent out by the capital every day, boiled into porridge so thin that it can make a person's shadow clear, and it takes only an hour to drink it, and there is nothing left after urinating.

Not to mention the north wind chasing after them, the refugees who were not fully clothed almost died of freezing and starvation almost every day.

At such a time, those who are interested will see the opportunity, a chance to turn from a grassroots to a master in the blink of an eye.

So some rumors arose among the refugees...

"These gentlemen in the city don't care about our lives at all. If we don't fight ourselves, we will starve to death here!"

"That's right, we're going to join forces and go to the city. Even if we grab a few pancakes and eat them before being beaten to death, we can still be a stuffed ghost!"

"Why should they eat and drink spicy food in the city, and we will freeze to death and starve to death here!"

If only one person said it, it would be an extremely dangerous thing if a hundred people, a thousand people, and the entire refugee group were provoked like this.

Some of the court officials in the city have realized that the refugee incident is a disaster that can be launched at any time, but some don't take it seriously. They are just poor ghosts, with no food, grass and weapons, and they can turn the world upside down!
But the secret guard was keenly aware of the danger, so the densely written secret report was sent to Gong Zhiming's desk.

Even if a group of generals did not come to inquire, Gong Zhiming would send someone to summon them to discuss matters.

"General, the two anti-kings have retreated in a hurry. At this time, shouldn't we take advantage of the victory and pursue it?" A straightforward young general was the first to say, "The last general asks for orders, as long as [-] soldiers and horses are enough, we must keep the anti-kings behind." come down."

"General, please order the last general too! As long as five thousand soldiers and horses are needed, the last general will be able to bring back the heads of those who rebelled against the king!"

The other general also knelt down to beg for orders, which made the young general slightly annoyed, "He Danian, you are robbing me again! General, the last general only needs 3000 troops!"

Everyone was amused to hear it. If the two continue to quarrel, they are afraid that they will single-handedly take the head of the rebellious king.

Gong Zhiming waved his hands, motioning for the two to stand up, and replied, "I am well aware of the loyalty and bravery of the two generals. But now, the biggest crisis is not the rebellion against the king."

All the generals were puzzled, they didn't understand that besides the two ways against the king, what kind of enemies did Dayue have? Could it be that the Sixth Prince, who has now become Emperor Donghao, is thinking of coming back for revenge?
Although they didn't know much about the late emperor's plans, they had heard a few words.Originally, they were all wronged by the sixth prince. If it wasn't for the posthumous son of the first emperor, and his mother was a court lady, they might be the best candidates to inherit the country of Dayue. After all, the two princes were too miserable.

But later when the truth was revealed, I realized that the Sixth Prince was originally the descendant of Donghao Wuhou Mansion. He was stolen by the old emperor and hid in the deep palace of Dayue, where he was fed poison for 20 years. It was extremely tragic.Now, ashes return to ashes, he sat on Donghao's throne, and he hated Dayue in his heart, and wanting revenge, isn't it impossible?
"Could it be Dong Hao calling?"

Some generals, thinking so in their hearts, said it out.

Gong Zhiming looked a little weird, and shook his head to announce the answer, "There are too many refugees gathered outside the capital, tens of thousands in number, and there is no food relief in the city, which may lead to a civil uprising!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard that, if it is said that what a general fears most when leading troops outside in battle is instability in the rear.

No wonder the general did not send troops to pursue the two anti-kings for a long time. Even if the anti-kings were eliminated, he turned around and saw that the capital was occupied by others. This is really not worth the loss.

"General, shall we return to the court immediately?"

"Yeah, civil unrest is not a trivial matter. Back then, when Taizu was the emperor, there was Hongcheng Zhu who took advantage of the people's rebellion to raise troops and almost took half of Da Yue. If it weren't for Taizu's brilliance and martial arts, Da Yue would have been divided into two halves. "

Just now they were anxious to chase down the people who rebelled against the king, but they immediately changed their minds and asked the teacher to return to the court impatiently.

After all, their family members are also in the capital city. If the capital city is really captured by rioters, they will vent their anger on the big family if they don’t keep it together. It’s nothing to lose and spoil some property.

Gong Zhiming naturally knew what they were thinking, but it was not as simple as saying that the army would move out, not to mention that he had arranged it in advance, so it would not be as imminent.

"Three days later, the squadron returned to the court. General He led [-] soldiers to stay in Sanfan City to guard against the counterattack of the anti-king army. The rest of the people restrained their subordinates, supervised the logistics, and prepared to pull out the camp."

"General, isn't it too late in three days? The last general asks for orders, and immediately bring troops to help the capital!"

He was a well-known filial son, and his mother was over sixty. Now that he heard that civil unrest was about to start, he missed his mother and wished he could grow wings and fly back.

"No need, the troops sent back to the capital were to prevent civil unrest. What's more, even if they rushed back immediately, it would be too late to stop the civil unrest."

"Ah, that's how it is." Earlier, everyone wondered why the general would divide his troops back to the capital at the critical moment of the confrontation with the anti-king army. It turned out that they had been prepared for a long time.

"The general is wise."

All the generals saluted together, each convinced.

Gong Zhiming put away the secret report and said in a loud voice, "People's grievances are everywhere, mostly because of poor governance, and the people are struggling to survive. Repression is only an expedient measure, and the most important thing is to change people's livelihood. In the next few days, disaster relief food will be delivered to Kyoto one after another, and the people are in chaos. It will calm down soon. But how to prevent the civil unrest from happening again, you also have to think a little bit more."
