Chapter 1343 Buying People's Hearts
The Yue Kingdom's attack on Southern Qi took place half a year after Lin Si left Xiancheng.At that time, it was only a year and a half since Ganlan was destroyed last time.

The scale of this war is not inferior to any war in the middle of the mainland.It's just that at this time, many people's eyes are not focused on this southeast region war with great disparity in strength.

The reason is simple, the battle between Shenyan and Gaozhen has reached its most intense period.Maybe two or three months, maybe half a month, maybe in a few days, the winner will be decided.

Although Gao Zhen has received assistance from the Bilan Empire, there is still a huge gap in national strength compared with the Shenyan Empire.

Facing Mi Yuanyun, Luo Hou was able to hold out for three years with a weak force, and even occasionally created victories in partial confrontations, which is enough to prove his talent.

If it weren't for the determination of the emperor of the Shenyan Empire to be too firm, even called militarism, the situation of being unable to attack for three years would have been enough to make other attackers retreat voluntarily.

Now when it comes to the ranking of famous generals in Tianshu strategy, few people will go back to the fiasco of Tiluo Hou when he was young in Ancheng.Of course, not many people mentioned the fire in Xianglan City anymore.

It's a pity that the sudden retreat of Qianlan's reinforcements seriously disrupted Luo Hou's original deployment.

Coupled with the fact that Mi Yuanyun was already waiting for the opportunity for the opponent to reveal his flaws, even if Luo Hou tried his best, he couldn't make up for the loopholes that kept appearing in the line of defense.

When Ganlan was wiped out, Gaozhen's northern line of defense, which seemed to never be defeated, finally collapsed.In the following year, Gao Zhen's army retreated steadily, even though Luo Hou had great supernatural powers, he was still powerless.

Just a month ago, Gaozhen Kingdom had been captured, and King Gaozhen committed suicide by slaying himself.Several princes of the Gaozhen Kingdom were captured, some of the officials surrendered, some fled, and some died.

Luo Hou led hundreds of thousands of remnant soldiers to continue to retreat all the way, and now they have retreated to the south of Gaozhen, and the Shenyan army did not relax at all, only intending to strangle this remnant soldier completely.

To the west of Gaozhen is the country of exiled slaves. Although this country has a large territory, like Chongluo, it also has a large area of ​​yellow sand to the west, and its national strength is not very strong.Facing the Shenyan Empire, they couldn't hide in time, fearing that they would get burned, how could they dare to help Gao Zhen.

To the east of Gaozhen are the northern part of Zixing and the southern part of Chilou, both of which belong to the Shenyan camp.He didn't get out to flank Gao Zhen, but because Chi Lou was held back by Bi Lan, and Zi Xing was busy dealing with Yue Guo to the south.

To the north is the army of Shenyan. It can be said that the only help Gao Zhen can count on now is Ganlan in the south, which is now the Moon Kingdom.

However, everyone knows that Yue Guo can't count on it now. Although Yue Guo and Bilan have become allies, what they do is not to invade Gao Zhen.

What's more, now that Yueguo himself is busy fighting against the Southern Qi Dynasty, he has no time to care about Gaozhen's life and death.

Faced with Gao Zhen's predicament at this time, the only thing Yue Kingdom did was to temporarily dispatch a million troops from the Southern Qi battlefield to the north to prevent Shenyan from invading Qianlan territory.

And Lin Si's original plan has also been modified to some extent. Ye Hong, who was originally going to assist Ji Bingyun in attacking the grassland, is now transferred to the north to guard, in order to block the army of Shenyan.

In fact, even if Mi Yuanyun wanted to fight south, she was temporarily unable to continue fighting.

In order to defeat Gao Zhen, the Shenyan Empire itself did not pay a huge price.The original 300 million Shenyan army now only has 150 million left, not to mention that they still have to send people to guard Gaozhen's interior, because the wave of resistance from Gaozhen's people is in full swing.

Ganlan is too far away from Shenyan's homeland, and under such circumstances, he rushed to the south rashly, fearing that he might not be able to return in the end.

Yueguo dispatched troops from the Southern Qi battlefield back to Qianlan territory, and did not hide it from many people's eyes.However, this move did not let Nan Qi and Zixing breathe a sigh of relief.

Because Yue Kingdom's heart attack strategy was finally fully implemented, countless rumors permeated the people and the army of Southern Qi.

There are many versions of rumors. For example, Zixing murdered a certain minister and general of Southern Qi in recent years in order to control Southern Qi smoothly.For example, when the Purple Star Kingdom suppressed uprisings in various places, how many innocent people in the Southern Qi Dynasty were killed.For example, how arrogant and domineering the Zixing people were in Southern Qi, how much gold, silver and jewels they have already plundered from Southern Qi, and what will happen to them after they are defeated...

Some of these rumors are false, and some are half-truths mixed with speculation.For a while, no one could tell which was false and which was true. After some rumors spread, they were even added to by the soldiers and civilians of the Southern Qi Dynasty.

Because some phenomena do exist.For example, when the Zixing people suppressed the uprising, they killed innocent people indiscriminately. For example, the Zixing people were arrogant and domineering in the Southern Qi territory...

These things were witnessed by the people of Nanqi.After rumors are widely disseminated, it is difficult to tell the truth from the false, especially this kind of rumor mixed with part of the truth can easily be believed by many people, and the consequences of this are almost devastating.

The corruption of the Southern Qi court itself and the heavy suffering and oppression suffered by the common people in the past few years seem to be vented out along with the rumors that have spread to the whole of Nanqi.

In some places, there have even been voices of simply welcoming the people of Yue Kingdom, overthrowing the corrupt Southern Qi court, and driving away the wolfish and ambitious Zixing people.

Although there are very few such voices, it is enough to represent certain wind directions in Southern Qi at this time.

If possible, the common people would not be willing to destroy the country in the Southern Qi Dynasty.However, I can't even eat, and I can't even live, who cares who will be the king?
It can be said that it is almost impossible to see the scene of Nan Qi united against the "invaders" of the Yue Kingdom.If Lin Si could treat the people of Southern Qi kindly when he attacked Southern Qi, perhaps some people from Southern Qi would take the initiative to lead the army of the Moon Kingdom...

As for the Southern Qi Zixing Allied Forces, many Southern Qi soldiers looked at the superior officer and the surrounding Zixing soldiers with extremely complicated eyes.

There is indeed no suspense about the outcome of this war.

Unless Lin Si and the others are too stupid, it is impossible for the army of the Moon Kingdom to be defeated.And in this situation where he has the upper hand, why doesn't Lin Si know how to use it?

On the Western Front, they won the first battle against the Southern Qi Zixing Allied Forces.

The gap in strength is too great, especially at the master level.The Southern Qi soldiers with low morale and lack of training hardly played any role on the battlefield, and the Zixing people had no choice but to retreat even though they were unwilling.

Afterwards, after Lin Si collected the weapons and armor of the Southern Qi captives, he released them all.

Not only were they released, but tens of thousands of prisoners in the Southern Qi Dynasty were even given [-]-day rations.

Lin Si's purpose is very simple and direct, which is to buy the hearts of the soldiers and civilians of the Southern Qi Dynasty.

It is true that he is an aggressor now, but sometimes people have simple thoughts in their hearts, whoever treats them well is their own.

While talking about the righteousness of the country and the nation, while exploiting them and letting them eat grass roots and bark, how many people will stick to this kind of righteousness in the end?
Only when you are full can you have the strength to fight.

In fact, although Lin Si himself is quite interested in war, he does not want the war to affect ordinary people, even those in enemy countries.

However, this idea is naturally naive, and it may even be called hypocrisy, and it is actually impossible to do it.There is no pure war, it is all for profit.

But this time, the people of Southern Qi may not necessarily become his enemies.

For this reason, Lin Si specially issued a strict order that the army should not disturb the people after entering the cities and villages of the Southern Qi Dynasty, and try their best to do everything they can without committing any crimes.

He didn't care whether those released captives would return to the Southern Qi Army or return to the village.He only hoped to make some efforts in advance for the future stability after winning the Southern Qi Dynasty.

His efforts were not in vain, and the advance of the Moon Kingdom armies on the battlefield was extremely smooth.Except for the victory in the battle on the battlefield, a large part of it depends on the Nanqi people themselves.

Many cities opened their gates voluntarily before the arrival of the Yue Kingdom army, and had no intention of resisting at all.

They have also heard about the situation of the people in Qingchuan and Qianlan in the past year, and the Yue Kingdom court has implemented many preferential treatment measures for the people of these two countries.Some Southern Qi people even hoped that the Yue Kingdom could unify Southern Qi sooner and end their miserable days sooner.

And Lin Si and his generals did not commit any crimes. They would even open granaries to help the surrounding people after they captured the city.

Doing so will certainly slow down the speed of attack, but it will lay a solid foundation for appeasing the people of Southern Qi in the future.

Everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before Yue Kingdom wins.

If the Purple Star people can use their full strength, if it is within their own territory, then this battle still has to be fought.But it is a pity that they are also fighting in different places now, and the 'territory' they are guarding now has not become their real rear at all.

When the war went on for a month, half of Southern Qi had already fallen.The outside world's speculation about this battle is just how much of the Purple Star army the Yue people can keep completely, and when the Purple Star army plans to return to the Purple Star Kingdom.

Many Southern Qi courtiers surrendered ahead of schedule and fled secretly to Yue Kingdom, and the situation could no longer be reversed.

No one could understand the point of Zixing people still clinging to Nan Qi to finish this battle.Could it be to wipe out as many Moon Kingdom troops as possible?But now on the battlefield, the Zixing and Southern Qi allied forces could not pose a threat to the Yue Kingdom army at all.

Continuing to fight will only consume their own strength.

Or, the Zixing people are waiting for Mi Yuanyun to lead the Shenyan army to support them?But Luohou's resistance on Gaozhen's side was extremely tenacious. One month later, the Shenyan people still failed to end the battle.

Until this day, an army of 50 grasslands suddenly appeared outside Yincheng in the west of Yue Kingdom.

A new war broke out without any warning. The prairie people launched a mad attack on Yincheng. Gu Yuda who was stationed in Yincheng was not a mediocre general. Precarious situation.

There is a huge difference in the strength of the two sides, and there are only more than [-] Yue Kingdom troops along the Yincheng line.If it wasn't for the prairie cavalry not having much advantage in attacking the city, the barrier to the west of the Moon Kingdom might collapse at the first touch.

However, if it continues to develop like this, maybe within a few days, Yincheng will fall.

And once Yincheng falls, the gate of Moon Kingdom will be opened.At that time, the tens of thousands of miles from Yincheng to Xiancheng will almost be undefended.

The reason is simple, the Yue Kingdom's army is now in the Southern Qi and Qianlan territory, and the Yue Kingdom is very empty at this time.

When the news spread, the outside world was in an uproar.
