Chapter 303: Serving the Crowd
Since the hundred people were sprayed by Hu Ying with a yellow "water dragon" in front of the North City Gate, in addition to scolding in their hearts, they were more worried about being punished by Wen Lan.
Before the battle, one was more bold than the other, and after returning, it became a water-stained artillery battle------ without a squeak.
has fallen into his own majesty, I really don't know what kind of thunder and anger Wen Lan's iron-green face will be......
When the tribes were panicking, they were surprised to find that Wen Lan had sent someone to send an order to say that the king's tent and army would be discussed early in the morning, and they did not say a word about the defeat of the city gate.
Fortunately, the next morning, when everyone saw the great witch god sitting on the side of the king's tent early, they finally let go of the hanging heart.
Looks like he's really happy.
Not only was he happy, but he was a little kinder than usual, and asked the 1,300 soldiers who had a high fever overnight. If this had been put aside, I am afraid that I would have deserved to be scolded a long time ago.
I don't know if it's under the influence of the Great Witch God, but most of the others are also beaming.
Eagle Wang Hunying fiddled with the eagle on the side, as leisurely and elegant as spring. The Golden Blade King Rob was even more red-faced, and those who knew him thought that the Blade Clan had recently discovered some gold mines.
Qi Lie is still unfazed, and there is still no news from Ge Lihan's cavalry, most of them are more than lucky. Eventually, Wodar's injuries were almost healed, which relieved him a little.
In this way, the chiefs and leaders of all the tribes of Imuran gathered together, and each whispered to each other, figuring out the intention of today's military discussion.
Suddenly, an attendant hurried to Wen Lan's side and whispered a few words, only to see Wen Lan stand up and bow down solemnly, and everyone knew that it was the lord of the country Su You who was coming, and they also followed suit.
"Excuse me, all of you."
With Su You's faint words, everyone raised their heads. Unexpectedly, everyone, including Wen Lan, couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Su You.
I saw that he was not wearing the white robe and gold crown of the lord of the country as usual, but wearing a long robe with silver leaf patterns and a delicate silver crown. Su You was already slender, and when he went to the wide robe of the Lord of Imuran, he changed into such a man's outfit in the Southern Regions, although he was a little less majestic, but a little more handsome.
Wen Lan didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, and when he was about to ask, Su You stretched out his hand to stop him: "I know that the patriarchs will feel strange, and even have some reluctance in their hearts. You will think, how can I, as the lord of the country, come out wearing the clothes of a southerner, and don't I forget the ceremony of unification? ”
Everyone didn't speak, and what Su You said was exactly what they thought.
"Yes, this is the crown that Emperor Cangwu gave me before, and I used to treat it as a treasure and can't put it down. As you all know, I grew up in Cangwu Country since I was a child, and my food and clothing habits were all educated in the Southern Regions. And since I returned to the capital of Imuran, I have changed my clothes and food, and I have always told myself that I am the king of Imuran, and I must live as an Imuran. ”
In the big tent, except for the voices of Su You and the interpreter, there was no sound. Everyone listened to Su You's words, but they still didn't know what Su You wanted to say.
"Lately, however, I've been wondering if I'm doing something wrong. Imurans are headed by three tribes, united in one, and collectively referred to as the Imuran people. But before the unity, were they not separate tribes, with different customs and habits? Now we are all people of the same country, but the people of the blood clan still like tattoos, the people of the blade clan still like to eat gold leaf, and the people of the eagle clan still love to eat soup food, will these things be abandoned and eliminated after Imulan is unified? ”
Everyone looked at each other, thinking to themselves, didn't they come to the military today? How do you talk about this food custom? Only Wen Lan faintly heard Su You's deep meaning and began to bow her head and think.
Su You looked around, ignoring the doubts on everyone's faces, and continued: "Therefore, the unification of the country does not mean that all differences between each other must be eliminated. It doesn't hurt to be the same, but it can communicate with each other, so that the country is stable and the people are healthy, and Zhisheng is sunny. For example, if I wear this Nanren dress, now everyone will think, how can I, the king of Imuran, wear the costume of the Nann. But in three or five years, or ten years, when Imuram will be able to rule the north and the south, will Imurans have to force all the southerners to follow our example, to get tattoos, to eat gold leaf, to eat soup? If they continue to wear the clothes they have worn for hundreds of years, can't they be counted as citizens of our country? ”
The words of the seat made everyone's minds confused, and they never seemed to have thought about this issue. In their view, the land was for nomadism, not for farming. Iron tools were forged into weapons, not hoes and plows, and clothes should have been made of animal skins, not woven with silk threads.
Only Wen Lan was secretly frightened, and he once again had respect for this young man.
It is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to control the world.
He was bent on unifying the world and thinking about the unity of the three Imuran tribes, but he never thought about how to incorporate the hearts of the people of the south into the new Imuran country after unification. Just like Su You said, could it be that the southerners are not considered to be their own countrymen when they wear their original clothes?
While thinking about it, Su You suddenly turned his head and asked:
"Great Witch God, you are a tea lover, and I know that your favorite is the evil crow. I know that there is a large tea garden behind the palace of Emperor Cangwu, and there are many good teas from the Southern Regions. If we rule the world, what are you going to do with that tea garden? Is it burned? And then let the whole world change to drinking crows? ”
Wen Lan didn't feel sweat oozing from her forehead, and replied: "The wisdom of the lord of the country, listening to the words of the lord of the country, the old minister is very ashamed, and he feels that he is short-sighted, and he is not as good as the lord of the country to see through." ”
Everyone thought to themselves, even a high-ranking person like the Great Witch God was impressed by these words, they really didn't expect it. But how can you listen to it in your ears and still feel a little awkward?
Su You smiled: "The Great Witch God has always been very wise, and he can understand what I mean immediately, which is really gratifying." He turned to the crowd again: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand what I'm saying for a while, but the important thing is that you must know that whether it is clothes or food, after all, it is just a minutiae, and whether you can unite and be loyal to the country is the most important thing." Although it is not yet unified, it is a little too early to mention this talk, but I hope that everyone has this idea in their hearts first, and it will be easy to slow down in the future. ”
As he spoke, his face suddenly sank, and he changed his words:
"Of course, the most important thing in front of us is to achieve the unity of all ethnic groups first! If you can't even unite among the clansmen in the account, what qualifications do you have to talk about dominating the world, and what way can you subdue the people? ”
Wen Lan could understand the southern language, and before the interpreter finished speaking, she couldn't help but clap her hands and shout hello first: "What the lord of the country said is extremely true!" ”
Seeing this, everyone also followed his example and applauded, especially the Golden Blade King Rob, who slapped his two fat palms to the point of trembling.
Su You let the crowd boil for a while, and stopped talking: "So far, the North City Gate has not been able to be attacked for a long time, and I have discussed with the Great Witch God for a while, and I feel that this is not because the people of the tribe are not effective in attacking the city, but me, the lord of the country, did not stop everyone from dividing the troops in time to fight, and was broken by the Bihai people!" After speaking, he bowed to show his self-reproach.
Wen Lan was told by Su You the day before yesterday, knowing that it was his idea to divide his troops to fight, and seeing that he was covering up for himself now, he was a little ashamed in his heart, and hurriedly returned the salute.
The rest of the people were greatly relieved to see that Su You not only did not hold him accountable for the defeat, but also took it on himself, and they all returned the salute one after another.
Those patriarchs of the hundred tribes didn't know much about Su You before, they only felt that he was a child at a young age, and after this scene, he had a good feeling.
Su You walked to the throne and nodded to He Ping, who understood and immediately stood next to the seat. Su You took out a scroll from his sleeve and hung it on the pole, but it was not the Linzhou military defense formation map from yesterday.
"Yesterday, the Great Witch God asked me what my strategy was for attacking the city, and I said that it was not difficult, in fact, with your bravery, the north gate of the city should have been broken a long time ago, but I had not worked hard in one place. I'm going to tell you now how to work together. ”
When everyone heard this, they leaned forward one after another, lest they miss a word.
"Although the northern city wall is strong, the place on the city tower is narrow, and the first few times the guard Hu Ying only alternately arranged the crossbowmen and water dragon soldiers to retreat from my Imuran's army. However, the place of the city tower in Linzhou is small, but the place below the city is not small, which is enough for me to deploy 30,000 troops in front of the city. The rest is up to us in how we lay out our troops. ”
Su You said, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Where is the Golden Blade King Rob!" ”
When Luo Bu heard that he was the first to call his name instead of Qi Lie, he was so happy that he hurriedly stepped forward and responded with a smile: "Luo Bu respectfully listens to the order of the lord of the country!" ”
"When the army goes out of battle, with your Thunder Artillery Battalion as the leader, line up in front of the formation, and thirty artillery wagons are divided into two columns, front and rear, and throw artillery alternately, remember, only focus on the city gates, not the city walls."
Rob replied diligently: "Yes." ”
"Then order your camp to divide the cart ladder into two sides, and not to use the cart, but to use the well. Be sure to place the well in front of the artillery car! ”
Rob was stunned and asked, "Why is this?" ”
Su You smiled slightly: "You just have to take the order, I have my own merits." As he spoke, he continued to shout: "Where is Eagle Wang Hunying? ”
Hunying also stood up immediately, and Ying Ying smiled and said, "The lord of the country, please command." ”
"I order you to choose 500 good men who wear Yang longbows, not to ask for many people but to seek elites, and to stand on the wells, if you see crossbowmen standing at the head of the city, do not shoot at them, only hide behind the shield soldiers, and when the crossbowmen at the head of the city withdraw and replace the water dragon soldiers, immediately pull out the arrows and shoot the water dragon soldiers!"
Seeing that he only needed five hundred people, Hunying agreed: "Don't worry, the lord of the country, Hunying will definitely choose the most elite Eagle Clan warriors to go to the well." ”
