Chapter 331: A Soldier Who Surrenders Without a Fight
Gu Mo had built a three-bow bed crossbow on his side, and he was invincible, and he had already occupied the four cities of Nanyue in less than a month. This is much faster than when Nanyue captured Great Xia.
When the people of Nanyue were panicking, Gu Mo only brought a few soldiers into the city. In addition to receiving the defense of the city, only a few soldiers were stationed in case the Nanyue people did not give up.
After the soldiers of Great Xia entered the city, they were very different from the soldiers who went to Great Xia to invade before Nanyue. Not only does he not rob things or kill people, but he is also very kind to the people of Nanyue. Sometimes they even reach out to help by the way, but they don't just ask for a stitch and a thread.
The people in these cities slowly settled down, and their lives began to slowly become normal. In fact, in the hearts of the common people, who is the emperor is really a distant thing. As long as they are well fed, warmly clothed, and free from war and death, they are content.
Some wealthy businessmen and tyrants carefully hid their family wealth and closed their doors. I didn't dare to sleep every day and every night, and after holding on for a while, I found that there were no soldiers to knock on my door.
What's going on? Everyone is a little unsure. Gradually, some people began to tentatively talk to some soldiers who were on leave. While hearing the strict military discipline of Great Xia, he secretly admired it, and on the other hand, he heard that Nanyue's army was slaughtering the innocent people in Great Xia. So slowly, the officers and soldiers stationed in Great Xia actually got along more harmoniously with the people of Nanyue.
By the end of September, the floods had struck. In general. The floods are in the summer, but this time, it's in the fall. At the same time that surprised the people of Nanyue. I also felt hopeless.
Well, on the one hand, the army of Great Xia is eyeing each other, and on the other hand, the already small grain stock is in danger. What to do?
Surprisingly, the few cities that had already fallen to Great Xia had the least losses. No one would have thought that the army of Great Xia would take the initiative to help the peasants harvest grain and save property. He even went to several nearby villages to save people. It also gave porridge and clothes to some poor people who had experienced the flood.
With the connivance of Gu Mo. The good people and good deeds of the Great Xia army spread throughout Nanyue.
When the emperor saw the news from Gu Mo, he stroked his palms and laughed, "Good Gu Mo, this is a soldier who wants to surrender without a fight!" He even planned not to attack the outskirts of the city that had not been captured. And **** soup kitchen! Nanyue is already in my bag! ”
After the floods, it is already October. Gu Mo calculated that the food on Nanyue's side was almost consumed, so he continued to attack the city south.
As reported to the emperor, he first besieged but did not attack. Cook porridge outside the city gates. The general who wanted to defend the city took pity on the innocent people, and hoped that he would open the city gate and let the people come out and eat a mouthful of porridge. And promised that it will never take advantage of this attack.
The generals defending the city couldn't resist the begging people, and let some of the old, young, sick and disabled come out with a tentative mentality, and sure enough, the people of Daxia just gave porridge and didn't make any moves, and gradually relaxed.
Some generals with a heart and an eye let the soldiers also disguise themselves as civilians. Come out and drink porridge. Secretly laughed at the great Xia is a woman's benevolence, wasting food in vain to feed the soldiers of Nanyue.
But slowly. The atmosphere in the whole city became eerie. People began to talk about the fact that the grain in Daxia could be harvested twice a year, and the yield per mu doubled after the grain varieties were improved. He also said that the emperor of Great Xia was merciful and could not bear to let the people of Nanyue starve, so he had sent people to send a lot of food, and no one in the cities captured by Great Xia was hungry. It is also said that there is a person in the Great Xia Kingdom who is particularly good at farming, and he can change the current situation that there are few fields in Nanyue and there is no food......
The people are the water, and the king is the boat. Water can carry a boat or capsize a boat! The will of the people is the best weapon! Therefore, in many cities, Gu Mo did not waste a single soldier at all, and relied on the people's yearning for a better life in the future to achieve victory.
Of course, there are exceptions. And there was a commander of the city who slew all the people of the city, and then he was martyred. There was also a stubborn resistance, which was beheaded on the city wall......
As long as it's war, it's brutal. There is no one who is right and who is wrong, and it is even more difficult to distinguish what is justice, only winning and losing!
When Gu Mo approached the capital of Nanyue Kingdom, snowflakes had already fallen in the capital of Great Xia.
A few unexpected guests entered Liu's mansion without warning. Sitting in the living room, waiting for the reception of the host.
Liu Chengshuang hurried over with Liu Yunyang, and when he saw the British Duke sitting on the main seat, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.
The British Duke looked at this person who was a few years younger than his son Liu Chenggong and frowned slightly. Liu Chengshuang and Liu Chenggong's figures are very similar, and if you look closely, the faces are also a little similar. Sure enough, an ancestor came out.
"Liu Chenggong, the old man came today to ask you, is your family's genealogy available?" Where does the British public not know the situation of Liu Chengshuang's family? It's just a formality.
Liu Chengying and Liu Chengxiong, who came together, glanced at each other and felt a little embarrassed. The plaque of the Eguo Mansion should have been taken off a long time ago. They came to recognize their relatives, but they didn't want to go to the end.
Liu Chengshuang's two sons-in-law are not ordinary, and their two sons also have bright futures. Especially Gu Mo, when he comes back this time, he has to be knighted. At this time, it is more embarrassing to recognize his relatives than to wait for Gu Mo to come back and then admit him.
Liu Chengxiong is a straightforward character, and he doesn't want to play those imaginary things, so he directly explained to the confused Liu Chengshuang, "My name is Liu Chengxiong, your name is Liu Chengshuang, and his name is Liu Chengying." Liu Chenggong of the British public, and the lady in the palace is called Liu Chengshu! Do you understand? ”
"Ahh What a coincidence! Liu Chengshuang didn't react for a while. Liu Yunyang had already heard Yunxiang say these things, and he laughed secretly in his heart.
Is this something that the word 'skillful' can explain! The three British dukes all widened their eyes and couldn't laugh or cry.
"What a coincidence! We are brothers of the same clan! Liu Chengxiong explained helplessly, "Our grandfather is a brother!" ”
"Ahh Liu Chengshuang turned around, "How do you know?" ”
The British official coughed twice, "Actually, we didn't care about it at the beginning. It's just that I occasionally know your name and find that it is the same as our Liu family's generational inheritance. So I paid a little attention to it, and confirmed through your branch in the backing village that we are indeed of the same clan. ”
Liu Chengshuang slapped his head, "It's true!" The fourth grandfather said it! Someone went out to be an official at the beginning! It's just that there has been no news for so many years. ”
It is inevitable that there will be some ridicule on the face of the British public. After all, I haven't been in touch for so many years, and I have come to recognize my relatives after seeing other people's family backgrounds, which is really too powerful. But he couldn't admit it, so he said, "We don't know much, and there seems to be something unspeakable about my father's generation back then. He was still thinking about going back to see when he was dying. Now that we know each other, I believe that his old man can also be comforted in the spirit of heaven. (To be continued.) )
