Chapter 164: Choice (Thanks to Wu Zhang, the precious monthly ticket cast by the Divine Jade Dragon)

"How is this possible?" After listening to Chen Xiaochu's words, Naoe Kanesui showed an expression of disbelief on his face, "Give up Izumo City to the Sanhan people, you won't get anything, if you can do this, then what are you participating in the battle for?" ā€

The originally empty streets were filled with troops, and the civilians shivered and hid in their wooden houses, looking at the Han soldiers on the streets in fear, and they speculated uneasily that after tonight, the rulers of Izumo Castle would become these people, and their fate would change and be dominated again.

"War, not necessarily to occupy land, cities are the ultimate goal, I have only one purpose in the war, that is, to let those Dongying troops who invaded the northern continent return to the army, and all of them return to the southern continent." Looking at Naoe Kane, who still didn't believe it, Chen Xiaochu continued: "If I can, I will also rescue those civilians who were forced to participate in the war, how, Naoe Kane, are you willing to help me to achieve this goal, so that Dongying and Huaxia will never have a war again." ā€

"Do you want to bring us down?" Hearing Chen Xiaochu say this, Naoe Kanesu thought that Chen Xiaochu was ready to set an example of the surrender of the Toei general, show it to other Toei cities, and then get all the territory of the Toei people, so he felt that Izumo City was dispensable, "I admire ambitious people, but this is impossible, our pride does not allow us to do this, samurai, that is, loyal to their own lord, it is a stigma for people of the same civilization to switch sides, not to mention surrendering to aliens, it will be a shame for Toei people." ā€

"That's a shame." Chen Xiaochu said with a smile, showing a trace of regret, "Then, it's up to you to make a choice." ā€

"It's the choice of the Samhans, and let the civilians of Izumo Castle who have been looted and scrutinized die."

"It's better to choose me to enter the county government peacefully, let you out of the city, and let Izumo City immediately enter the state of control."

Chen Xiaochu was not afraid to drive the horse forward, "No matter how you look at it, you can understand, how do you choose to let more people live, how?" Don't you want to protect more civilians? Or are you just holding on here for the invasion of the northern continent by the army, and how many civilians die is worth it? ā€

Naoe Kanesui fell silent for a moment, some were speechless, and the ambitious daimyos, in order to achieve the purpose of increasing their strength, excessively requisitioned the commoners, leaving the fields wasted, although they promised that after the war, they could get a large amount of loot to replenish, but once the war was lost, many people would starve to death.

"This kind of gamble, this kind of war, there are still a few more times, it is gratifying to win, but once you lose, it will make Dongying completely sink, I can't die, I want to live for more people." Naoe thought of the civilians who were about to starve, and the samurai who were about to lose their Yuroku, and immediately made a decision.

"If you can promise not to hurt a single civilian, I can give you the county government, but you must stop the crimes of other civilized armies." Naoe Kanesui said with some frustration that it was not a pleasant thing to make such a decision, "I will leave Izumo City with those who are willing to leave, and in the future, I will take the army to retake this city again." ā€

"I agree to your conditions, and I will also send your army out of the city, rest assured, my Huaxia army is here to liberate Izumo City with benevolence, not an invader." After Chen Xiaochu saw Naoe and continue to loosen his mouth, he immediately nodded with a smile, deliberately ignoring the second half of the sentence, if he captures Izumo City in the future, it has nothing to do with him, and if he wants to fight, he will also fight with Carol, which will make Carol forced to stand on his side and lose more diplomatic options.

"Hmph." Naoe Kanesu ignored the beautiful words Chen Xiaochu said, it was just a trick to deceive the fool, and it was just used to tell others, the real purpose was never these, and the way to save one's own people was always to rely on oneself, not to hope for foreigners.

"Abandon the expeditionary force and choose civilians from other territories, a wise choice." Chen Xiaochu looked at Naoe who turned around and left, and thought.

Judging from the troops who evacuated Izumo City, without notifying Naoe Kanesu to retreat together, it can be seen that they do not belong to the army under a command system, and there are even some contradictions, if Naoe Kansu can be allowed to go back, these contradictions will continue to intensify and amplify, to achieve the purpose of splitting Dongying's forces, and then want to re-accumulate forces to attack Yuncheng, but it is not so simple.

"Lord, you are right." Lu Bu stepped forward and said, guessing a little bit of Chen Xiaochu's purpose, and had a new understanding of not being able to solve all problems with strength, "This is the reason why I lost to Cao Cao, even if Cao Cao, who fought in front of the two armies, hid his face and fled, he was never able to destroy the other party." ā€

"From now on, we have a new mission, in order to get the cavalry command of other civilized armies, I must immediately pacify Izumo City and restore order in the city." Chen Xiaochu nodded, turned his head and said to Lu Bu.

The three parts of Izumo Castle, Yamashiro Honmaru was occupied by the Greek army, and the outer city was plundered by the Sanhan Army and the Indian Army, what Chen Xiaochu had to do was to control the inner city and the outer city, and temporarily rule Izumo Castle, which has nearly 10,000 residents, to show the Greeks, because it would be an important bargaining chip in the transaction.

The cry came from the county government, not everyone was willing to evacuate, watching Naoe Kanesu take the lead in withdrawing from the county government, many armed civilians cried, and could only follow behind the samurai, they were resisters, although they wanted to stay very much, wanted to stay in their own homes, but they were more afraid that Chen Xiaochu, the new ruler, would liquidate and get rid of them, so they were very sad to choose to leave the path of Izumo City.

"I hope you keep your promises." After watching the resisting troops leave the county government, Naoe said with some panting in his heart, at this moment, his life is almost completely in the hands of Chen Xiaochu, there is no danger to hold on, and it is impossible for the demoralized army to resist any attack.

"Please." Chen Xiaochu waved his hand, and a thousand Han soldiers brushed together, stood neatly on both sides of the road, and made way for the road on the straight.

The only gate leading to the outer gate is this road. At this moment, Kwon Li, who was a little entangled in whether he should rush in with the Sanhan army, was shocked to see that an army of Dongying was actually caught in the middle by the soldiers of the Han army and marched in his own direction.

"This is? The Dongying people didn't disarm, they weren't captives, did they collude together, damn the Huaxia people, is this what friendly troops should do? All ready to fight. Replenished by more reinforcements, Kwon Chestnut regained a lot of courage, shouting with his sword in hand, ordering the archers to gather and wind their bows in front of him. (To be continued.) )
