Chapter 860: Conquering the City

If the repeated failure to attack the Red Dynasty has hurt morale, then the blink of an eye of the White Dynasty's destruction has made everyone panic. Needless to say, those high-ranking members of the royal family are panicking, for fear that they will be beheaded at some point. Even the people at the bottom began to panic, feeling that when the Red Dynasty attacked, they would definitely not be able to resist. The most powerful evidence is that the prices of the three dynasties have skyrocketed, especially the necessities of life, not to mention that everyone hoards them, and even the rice, flour and cloth in the market have been snapped up. No matter how much the imperial court tried to appease people's hearts, it still couldn't erase the doubts in their hearts. After all, since the major dynasties joined forces, they have never won once, and even if they have been defeated repeatedly, now that the Red Dynasty has begun to fight back, they can't even hold it for three or five months.

Three or five months, which is estimated to be the time for them to go far away. As one of the five major dynasties, the Bai Dynasty was defeated and surrendered so quickly. Although the imperial court has repeatedly claimed that the Red Dynasty used despicable methods, most people will not believe it. No matter how despicable the means are, if there is no strong means to support them, how can the Bai Dynasty compromise so quickly. Therefore, pessimistic thoughts permeated the three dynasties, and everyone felt that a change was imminent. They no longer think about how to fend off the invaders, but whether the Red Dynasty will treat them well. If the people of the Red Dynasty are not very thin, it doesn't matter if they change their identities.

It didn't take long for the news that made the three dynasties desperate arrive. The Red Dynasty not only did not exploit the people of the White Dynasty, but promulgated many preferential policies, so that the people of the White Dynasty, who had not been affected by the war, received great benefits. When this news spread, the power was not much less than the previous surrender of the Bai Dynasty. It is precisely because of the previous unstoppable offensive that is paving the way in front that this news seems more and more lethal. Since it can't be defeated, and the policy is so good, surrender naturally becomes the best option. The citizens of the three dynasties sold their rulers without any psychological barriers, and they sold them without any burden at all. They only think that if they don't resist, they can avoid the military disaster, and with the preferential policies, they can accumulate a lot of family funds.

The people at the bottom don't care about any major affairs of the family and country, as long as they can save more food and materials, they don't care what the name of the person above their heads is. It's fair to say they're stupid, but to put it another way, these are just their most rustic demands. They don't ask for any high positions, as long as they can have a full mouthful, and this kind of demand is not too much no matter where they are placed. It's not that the three dynasties are mean, they have to cut down those people at the bottom. But there are vampires in every class, and the accumulation is not a small burden. Even if they don't live in dire straits, the burden is relatively heavy, and it must be good to be able to take it easy.

The Red Dynasty only sacrificed a little inconsequential taxes, which had already made the hearts of the three major dynasties fluctuate, and it had to be said that Emperor Xiao Yi's means were superb. Anyway, the Bai Dynasty is not fundamental, even if it is exempted from a little tax, it has nothing to do with the national capital, at most it will not collect any taxes. This damage had no effect on the Red Dynasty at all, he was already ready to fight for a long time, and there was no tax or anything. Now that it can be resolved peacefully, at least there is no need to worry about post-war reconstruction, and the accumulation of the White Dynasty has also been captured. It doesn't matter if it's tax exemption for 10 years, let alone just a slight reduction in the tax standard, the cost is simply minimal.

The ability to shake the opponent at such an untraceable price is also because the Red Dynasty is on the offensive. If the Red Dynasty is a defeated general, no matter how good their policies are, others will not envy them. After all, if they are in danger, no one will go even if they give away the land for free, and who knows if their things will be robbed, and maybe their lives will be lost. Only they were on the aggressive offensive, and those who believed they could defeat them at any moment, even before they showed their fangs, trembled with fear. Although they were still digesting everything in the White Dynasty, everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before they attacked. Everyone was ready for a fierce blow from the Red Dynasty.

However, the expected attack was not sent by Zhang Daniu and them, they were still sorting out the army, although they were sharpening their knives, but they had not yet set off. It is precisely because they have not yet reached the time to start that although the three dynasties are very nervous, they are still a little lax in their hearts. But who would have thought that the real fatal blow had been delivered from a place they did not expect. It's like a predator that has been lurking for a long time, and the moment they relax, they pounce fiercely and tear off a large piece of flesh and blood on them. The three dynasties were like frightened beasts, still at a loss after being bitten. Not to mention a counterattack, even the target of the attack is not clear, and it will only be a miserable howl.

When the army that attacked them showed their banner, they suddenly realized that it was the army of the Red Dynasty that attacked them. Although it was not the army of Emperor Xiao Yi of Shenwu, it was also under the banner of the Red Dynasty, and it seemed to be under the command of the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses newly appointed by the Red Dynasty. However, the news did not make them happy, and it should be said that they were even more depressed. The newly appointed generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he not only has a wise mind, but also has a strength beyond ordinary people's imagination, and it may not be easier to deal with it than Zhang Daniu's way.

Originally, just one way was enough to make people collapse, but now that they are attacking from two sides, they have even less confidence, and even their fighting spirit has been completely lost. In particular, Emperor Shenwu was very cooperative with the army to suppress the realm, although he had not yet attacked, but the pressure given was real. Besides, they didn't trigger it like this, which suddenly made those people have bad associations. After all, when dealing with the Bai Dynasty before, the army of the Red Dynasty was also unable to trigger, and only after Zhang Daniu's beheading was successful, they waved their troops to enter Sanshan Pass, which had given up resistance. Now they are like this again, and they have to let those people tremble, for fear of being served in one pot.

Under the pressure of such internal and external difficulties, there seems to be no better choice than to choose a dignified surrender. The first to surrender was the Black Dynasty, and after the Red Dynasty pledged not to kill, the royal family collectively chose to surrender to this powerful neighbor. After all, the army led by Chi You attacked them first, and if they didn't surrender, they would not be able to sell for money after most of the country fell. With the people at the beginning, the remaining two dynasties will naturally not struggle anymore. Not to mention the loss of popular support, even they themselves do not have the courage to resist anymore.
