Chapter 893: Complex Mentality
Dou Hongxian's attitude towards Luo Zhaoyun at this time, even she couldn't figure it out, although it was said that there was a revenge for killing her father, but after all, Dou Jiande's death was a battle between the princes, the winner was the king, the loser was the king, and even died, which is beyond reproach.
She has been thinking about it before, it is because her family and country are broken, her biological mother has an affair with Liu Heimin, her relatives are dead, scattered, and there is no direction for a while, and she remembers all these hatreds on Luo Zhaoyun, so she wants to assassinate her.
As time passed, the anger in her heart also diminished a lot, not as strong as before.
It's just that last night's loss made Dou Hongxian feel uneasy, and he still felt that he should take revenge, otherwise his body's innocence would be gone, who would he talk to?
At this time, Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly and said: "It's rare that Wu Cairen can sympathize with me, after the fall of the Great Sui, the world is strife, and there are wars in various places, in fact, the most people who die are not battlefield soldiers, but innocent people." Did you know that for every soldier killed, at least five times as many people died, and who could see this proportion of casualties? ”
Dou Hongxian was a little unconvinced, suspicious in his heart, and asked: "How is this possible, the soldiers on both sides fought and did not deliberately slaughter the city and chase down the people, why did so many people die?" ”
Seeing that it aroused her interest, Luo Zhaoyun sat down and took a sip of clear soup to moisten her throat before speaking: "There are not many people in the world who can see this casualty ratio, but I have sent people to make statistics. For example, there was a war in Luoyang, when Wang Shichong and the Wagang Army fought for territory, a large number of men were arrested and sent to the army, and some men fled to the mountains and forests in order to avoid military service. So many strong men were taken away to fight, and only the elderly, women and children were left in their families, lacking labor, and abandoning farming, resulting in no harvest, lack of surplus food, and many people would starve to death. ”
"In addition, some armies lack strategic materials, so they will go to the villages to loot food and valuable things, and inevitably burn and plunder, so that the people have no food rations, and in the end, it is still difficult to escape death. In addition, the dead people died in the wars everywhere, the corpses could not be cremated and buried in time, plagues and plagues arose in various places, a large number of epidemics appeared, and the dead were everywhere......."
Luo Zhaoyun looked calm, and said it little by little, shocking figures, these are all things that Dou Hongxian did not consider before, after listening, Dou Hongxian was silent, nodded slightly, and recognized his point of view for the first time.
"The Yellow River often bursts its banks, and there are sometimes severe droughts in Guanzhong, all of which are filled in by human lives. Therefore, the world must not be chaotic, otherwise, the population will be drastically reduced, and those are all fresh lives, as long as I eliminate the princes of various places as soon as possible and recover those regions, I will save more people, tens of thousands, and let them live! ”
"......." Dou Hongxian was silent, already believing his words, not deliberately deceiving her.
"Come, eat more, the days will be long." Luo Zhaoyun personally sandwiched vegetables for the talented person, smiling and looking sincere, but it really looked like her husband was serving vegetables to the newlywed Yan'er's wife.
Dou Hongxian raised his head and looked at Luo Zhaoyun with a complicated expression, this is his enemy, and he is also the man who took her body, the dignified founding emperor of Dahua, who became famous at a young age, and is full of legendary experiences.
Now, in front of her, eating at the same table with her, taking the initiative to pick up dishes for her, her demeanor is gentle, and her eyes have a hint of love, which makes her a little uncomfortable.
"Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty!" Dou Hongxian lowered his head slightly, picked up the tip of the bamboo shoots fried with meat with chopsticks, and ate it, feeling a little dazed and shaken in his heart.
"Let's eat, on this day, maybe I will often come to accompany you, after all, you are new to the palace, and you are not comfortable for a while, come and talk to you more, relieve boredom, and adapt to life in the palace as soon as possible."
"Got it." Dou Hongxian nodded and dined with him.
After breakfast, Luo Zhaoyun left, and there was more confirmation of her identity, and the next thing was to wait for the secret agents to go out to find evidence.
However, since she has entered the palace, Luo Zhaoyun has no intention of disposing of her, but before she is completely tamed, it is not convenient to take her to meet the queen, the prince and others, so let her stay in this palace.
..........
The Lantern Festival has passed, and it was originally a festive day, but the city of Jinyang was bleak, and the city was full of gloom.
There is not much food left in Jinyang City, and it can't last for many days, and the dignitaries and nobles may still have some food in stock, but the food in the people's homes has long been snapped up by the soldiers and used as strategic materials.
The people were left to feed their hunger on some relief food and tree bark, but even so, the number of people dying of starvation was increasing.
Some houses were destroyed, stone and wood were used to defend the city, and many people were homeless and froze to death by the streets.
Jinyang, which was prosperous in the past, is now full of holes, like an old man who is full of devastation, and is in danger of destruction at any time.
"When will this city be broken? Let's finish the battle, or we'll all die. A sad-faced scholar walked on the street, looking at the frozen corpses on both sides, stiff and black, a little unbearable, hoping that this Jinyang City would be broken as soon as possible, so that the people in the city could be saved.
There are more and more people who have similar ideas to this scholar, they no longer want to continue to fight Dahua, and they all expect Tang Guo to surrender quickly, otherwise Jinyang will become an empty city, and hundreds of thousands of people will die here, not under the blade of Dahua, but under the high-pressure and strict management of Tang State, disregarding human life and indifferent to life and death.
The Dahua secret saucer lurking in Jinyang City has surfaced again, and it is necessary to start spreading the news and shaking the hearts of the Tang army, and at the same time contact some people who have grievances against the Tang State, and plot to rebel against some Tang army non-commissioned officers, planning to cooperate with the Dahua army outside the city in a few days, and respond to the siege of the city.
