Chapter 634: The Heart of the People

Liu Zhizhou gritted his teeth, he couldn't get used to Qi Zhaoruo's atrocities, and couldn't help muttering: "You don't respect the officials, and the old man will definitely join you after the ......."

After Qi Zhaoruo joined the army, he no longer told outsiders that he was the son of the eldest princess of the country, so Liu Zhizhou and others only regarded him and Qi Xun as just brothers in the clan, although they had a good background, they were not offended.

The Great Song Dynasty has always suppressed military officials, and Liu Zhizhou is also a serious jinshi, but now he is so threatened by him, a yellow-mouthed child, how can he not be angry.

"Don't do this with me!"

Qi Zhaoruo said loudly: "Killing the enemy before the battle, is it your pen, who are you listening to if you don't listen to me at this time?" You don't care whether the people live or die, my soldiers are still in the city, and I don't want them to shed a drop of blood in vain! ā€

He was imposing, and all the generals who were old enough to be his father were not refuted for a while.

Qi Xun and the others were ordered to go down and close the city gate.

Zhang Zhanzhi was the only one who thought about the right thing, and he put forward his opinion to Fu Nianjun: "Since the Tangut people are just feints, why don't we open the city gate and kill them, take his mother's head, and kill a few Tangut people quickly, the morale will naturally come back, and the people will not just think about fleeing!" ā€

It can be seen that Zhang Chanzhi is a fierce general, and now among the officers of the Great Song Dynasty, it is difficult to find a person who is not afraid of death.

"Nope." Fu Nianjun shook his head, "If these Tangut people came from afar, they must have ridden good horses, and the garrison in the city is mainly infantry, even if there is heavy armor, it is inconvenient to act according to the terrain outside the city. ā€

The Western Xia produced good horses, but the cavalry of the Song army was not as good as a year, and it was nonsense to block their iron harriers with flesh and blood.

Qi Zhaoruo also said: "What's more, we don't know how many people there are outside the city, these Western Xia people are moving around, they can come and go at any time, if there are reinforcements, once we are out of order, it will be difficult to hold on to Dunzhou." ā€

It's not that he looks down on the garrison here, he really wants to take it out, and no one can fight.

What Zhang Chanzhi said is also good, morale needs to be motivated, but once he suffers some defeats, his morale will soon be defeated. There is no way, there have been too many defeats on the border in recent years.

"In that case, isn't there only one way to stick to it?"

Someone spoke up.

Fu Nianjun said: "The city is full of materials, and it shouldn't be a problem if you only keep it for a day or two, about the people in the city...... Lord Zhizhou, I need you to think of something......"

"I—I?"

Liu Zhizhou has a bit of a knotted tongue.

……

The people made up their minds and acted quickly.

Someone couldn't help but ask Qi Zhaoruo, "What is the origin of your lady?" ā€

Qi Zhaoruo just said with a calm face: "Women don't let the characters with eyebrows." ā€

After the west gate was sealed, the angry people spontaneously rushed to the door of the official office, and even more scoundrels took the lead in throwing rotten leaves and spitting in the yamen.

When there is such chaos, it is the most suitable to take advantage of the fire to rob.

Qi Zhaoruo's subordinates have now received the errand of public security, and Fu Nianjun said that this is the most important thing in the city during the chaos.

I am most afraid that the enemy outside the city has not yet come, but the city is already in chaos.

Qi Zhaoruo's elite soldiers were all well-trained, and soon took the lead in catching a few splashes who took the opportunity to rob and knelt at the door of the mansion.

Liu Zhizhou stood on a temporary high platform and shouted to the people in the city.

"Don't panic, don't worry, we have prepared a plan to defend the city, and we promise not to let the Xixia people attack the city! Don't go out of the city, stay at home, at most two or three days, the Tangut people will retreat! ā€

It is rare for Liu Zhizhou to be impassioned, but it is difficult for the people to be inspired.

They were still at a loss until the official messenger moved out all the grain stocks of the government and Liu Zhizhou.

Liu Zhizhou felt a pain for a while, but there was no way, he had to say: "Everyone comes to get rations, everyone listens to me, as long as you stay up for a few days, Dunzhou will be peaceful, and if there is a lot of food, you can stay for a good year!" ā€

He didn't forget what Fu Nianjun said to him, these grains were originally for the people, if they were not used in this critical time, when would they wait?

Someone in the crowd asked, "What about you, my lord?" ā€

Liu Zhizhou picked up a dry biscuit in his hand, changed his sad expression, and raised his voice and said, "I will stick to it with everyone!" We're waiting for reinforcements from Weizhou to come! ā€

When the people saw the food, they were finally a little shaken.

The people in the city have to pay a lot of food to the government every year as military salaries, and it is really rare to see the government spit it out.

The crowd, who seemed a little anxious and violent just now, gradually whispered at this time, as if they were infected by the rare spirit of sharing weal and woe with Lord Zhizhou, and were willing to obey the arrangements of the government.

But there were a few unlearned thugs in the crowd, whistling and saying cool things:

"There are so many officers and soldiers in the city, why don't you fight out if you really have the ability? What's the use of light to fool us people. ā€

"That's it, hit out, hit out!"

"If you have the ability, don't just say it and don't do it......"

Of course, these boys are not hot-blooded people, they are completely unprovoked, and the people were instigated by this, and immediately began to shake again.

As the saying goes, dogs can't change to eat, and they don't know what kind of virtue the officers and soldiers in the city are? is usually a general on the romantic field, a hero in the red and pink tent, if he really wants to fight the Tanguts, he has to lose eight times out of ten, and the remaining one is to make peace, and the remaining time is also because the Tanguts have been hungry for a winter.

The crowd saw that there was a commotion again, Qi Zhaoruo finally couldn't bear it anymore, jumped to Liu Zhizhou's side with an arrow step, and said loudly:

"Listen to me!"

The people were quiet.

"Who says we don't dare to fight? The knife in my hand has cut off the heads of more than 100 Tangut people, and my bow and arrow have pierced the hearts and livers of more than 100 Tangut people, of course we dare to fight! But let's see if it's worth it, because there's still you in the city! ā€

The young general, standing on the stage, was straight, the blade of his left hand was shining silver, and the golden bow in his right hand was plated with a layer of light gold.

Although he is young, every word he can say is heavier than Tarzan.

"Fighting a war is not for the sake of a momentary will, but to protect the people and the land!"

He threw his weapon at Qi Xun, and then clenched his fists with his empty hands to everyone in the audience, and his voice was loud: "I hope you will believe us again, this time, the Xixia people will be driven back to the north of Helan Mountain like a lost dog!" ā€
