Chapter 66: An ultimatum
"General Lee, you"
Guo Jia and the others all frowned.
Seeing this, Li Zheng smiled, his expression was correct, and his eyes were like lightning in an instant, and after looking at everyone in the hall, he said lightly: "I said, you are all outstanding people." ”
"And I'm a person who doesn't like to go around and around. Just kidding. ”
"I know better than you what the princes' realms look like. The beast plague broke out, leading to the death of a large number of people, the displacement of the people, and the desolation everywhere. The fields are deserted, the government is depressed, and all walks of life are on the verge of collapse. Every day, a large number of soldiers under the command of the princes died, and the resources in the hands of the princes were rapidly decreasing every day. It can be said that the people's hearts are scattered, and the rule of the princes is about to collapse. ”
"You're asking me for help, but you're just trying to catch your breath. I give you supplies, how long can you support it?! If you continue to struggle, the end result will be just more deaths. Then again, why should I support you? ”
"You are waiting for the fall of the princes to be destroyed, but you still have luck in your heart, holding on to that pitiful self-esteem and power, thinking that I don't know the situation and am being kept in the dark?"
"Hey,"
When Li Zheng said this, he sneered, stood up, looked down at everyone, and said: "I decided to meet you here, and let Mr. Yuan Hao and Mr. Zhicai take you to visit the grassland, and expose one of my hole cards, with only one purpose - to give you an ultimatum!" ”
The majestic gaze glanced again, making everyone present feel uneasy.
"Within a month, the princes from all over the country must come here to see me, otherwise hum!"
In fact, Li Zheng sat down slowly, saw that the hall was silent, and said: "Now that the beast disaster has broken out, only by gathering a qiē force can we put things right." The lord of your rank -- the princes are scattered all over the place, and their power is scattered. Now that the sea beasts have evolved and can move freely on land, what can you do to deal with it? In the end, the only way to do it is to die. What do you get? I have hundreds of thousands of troops under my command Li Chongxiao, with excellent armor, inexhaustible grain and grass, and tens of thousands of war horses. I have the support of tens of millions of people, all the people are united, and I still have the favor of God, one in this grassland. It's proof, beast, I don't care about it. The right time, place and people are in my hands, you say, this humanitarian trend, am I the protagonist?! ”
"It's all about to be destroyed, and there are still some little ninety-nine in my heart, are they all stupid?"
In the face of Li Zheng's questioning, everyone was speechless.
I don't know what to say.
Unwilling is for sure.
These people here more or less claim to be the ones who save the world, calm the chaos, and give up their own lives. Each chooses the monarch because they want to display their talents, be the founding hero, and leave their names in history.
However, the current situation is clearly in front of us. Sue them, it's no longer possible. The princes fought each other, and they also paid attention to strategy and tactics, and wisdom came first. But in the face of the brutal beast, there is no solid foundation, no matter how advanced the plan is. What's the use?
Originally, I thought that Li Zheng was far away from the east and south, and he didn't know what was going on, and he didn't know the situation, and he could still play the autumn breeze here. Get some supplies, support it for the time being, and see if you can wait for a turnaround.
But unexpectedly, Li Zheng understood the erosion of the situation better than themselves.
What else is there to say now?
Especially after seeing this qiē in the grassland, many people's hearts were shaken.
Then he came in from the princes' territory, and saw the holy way of prosperity along the way. Comparing the scene of imminent decline and extinction in one's own lord's domain, everyone can understand the good and the bad.
Li Zheng sat upright, but he could see it clearly.
So his solemn face was closed, and his voice was much calmer: "In this world of great controversy, you are all heroes of the times, and you all have the ambition to calm the world." But since you are a handsome, you should know the current affairs. And General Ben doesn't care who you have worked for, I can tolerate you. If you carefully understand my Liangzhou policy, you will find that I only look at ability and merit here. You all have the ability, and with me, you can do better! ”
Most of these people here came earlier, and most of them had some understanding of Liangzhou's policies. I know that just before, the official number system in various fields gave the most rigorous and clear promotion system. A qiē only looks at merit ability.
Although they don't know that there is a chubby girl who can ensure the rigor of this system, they also have to agree with the advanced nature of this system from the bottom of their hearts.
In fact, after these people came to Liangzhou, what they saw and heard made them amazed.
I all feel that it is so beautiful, and I feel that the direction of my life should be like this.
Even some of them have character flaws, but they can't say the harm. Even those of noble birth may know that these policies are extremely restrictive to the family, but they have to admit that for a regime, the significance of its importance lies in it.
So in fact, in their hearts, these people vaguely have some ideas.
Now that Li Zheng has laid out the carriages and horses, some of them actually agree. But they can't do anything, they can only remain silent.
"I'll rest you in my pasture for a day,"
Seeing the expressions of these people, Li Zheng knew in his heart, so he got up, smiled, and said: "Early tomorrow morning, I will send the Golden Winged Tiger Rider to take you back, I hope you can persuade my opponents well, and you don't need to hide anything, tell what you have seen and heard, and my words truthfully." I'll wait for them to choose! ”
After speaking, Li Zheng said to Xi Zhicai and Tian Feng: "Next, I will hand it over to the two gentlemen", bowed slightly to everyone in the hall, and said: "General Ben is rude." ”
With that, he turned around and entered the back hall.
Next, Xi Zhicai and Tian Feng arranged accommodation and food for everyone present, and took them to visit the Shenzhou grassland. But these people are not in this mood at this time, and they are all absent-minded
In the afternoon, Li Zheng received a summons from Lu Bu.
During this period of time, Lu Bu led a thousand golden-winged tiger horsemen to search around the Indochina Peninsula. After nearly half a month, there was no gain, but some manpower was lost.
On the Indochina Peninsula, there are already a lot of flying beasts, so even if the Golden Winged Tiger rides, it can't guarantee foolproof safety. Moreover, there are some fierce beasts with anti-air attack methods, which can also pose a threat to the Golden Wing Tiger Rider.
Today, Lu Bu summoned the news, but he had already searched the entire Indochina Peninsula and was preparing to explore in a farther direction.
Get this message. Li Zheng was slightly disappointed in his heart.
The sooner you find the space access, the greater the benefits. The more time drags on, the more fierce beasts will come to this world through the guò spatial passage, which is not a good thing after all.
But it was not found on the Indochina Peninsula. There's no way around it. It may not be a big time, but it is big enough for this era! For now, I can only continue to wait, hoping that Lu Bu can find the passage as soon as possible.
Every day, Li Zheng had to inquire about the situation of the various armies. And through the guò system map, view the edges of each boundary.
In general, during this period of time, except for Lu Bu, a thousand golden-winged tiger riders, the situation of the rest of the army was very stable.
The war with the fierce beasts was mainly concentrated on the southwest line of Liangzhou and the east and south lines of Yizhou. Most of the various divisions of the War Cavalry are also active in these two places.
The western line of Yizhou is rarely infested with fierce beasts. Of course, it is not nothing, but the number is very small, and it is easy to be wiped out by the troops and horses of Bai Yu stationed on this line. Therefore, the soldiers and horses stationed on this line of Baiyu's department. and some were dispatched to merge with Pound's command.
As for the eastern and southern lines of Yizhou guarded by Pang De's troops, the battle situation was even more fierce than the southwest line of Liangzhou guarded by Li Luo's troops.
In particular, the new city built at the junction of Jiaozhou and Yizhou, and the Yufu of Ba County, are the most severe.
In these two places, fierce beasts attack every day, and soldiers die every day.
Fortunately, Li Zheng was very well prepared, and the cities in these two places were the most solidly built, and a large number of offensive and defensive equipment were equipped. So even if the beast is fierce. It is also difficult to take a step beyond the thunder pool.
As for the Mengli Department on the front line of the Kanto region, the place where it is now fighting with the fierce beasts is concentrated in the vicinity of Xiaopingjin on the bank of the Beida River in Luoyang.
Most of this line borders the princes' territories, and there are princes in front of them. Most of them are inland, so there are no traces of fierce beasts in most areas. Only in the area of Henan County along the river, the naval army concentrated in Xiaopingjin guarded the perimeter of the fortress, and the battle was the most intense.
Since the outbreak of the beast plague, the army under Li Zheng's command has been fighting with the spreading beasts for more than half a month. Specific information about the beast obtained. It is also becoming more and more detailed.
So far, Li Zheng has obtained more than 120 kinds of fierce beast specimens. These more than 120 kinds of fierce beasts all have corpse specimens in hand, and because of the confrontation with the army, they also obtained the specific information and characteristics of these fierce beasts, and entered them into the number of chubby girls.
These fierce beasts are different, with their own body types and attack methods.
This information was not only distributed to the army, but also open to the mercenary guild. Its intention is to know oneself and the enemy, so that the army and mercenaries can make targeted preparations, so as not to be caught off guard after encountering them.
Because of the stability of the battle front, the situation inside Li Zheng's territory has always been very stable. Even under the rule of Li Zheng, due to the beast disaster, a new industry was created!
Many businessmen who have ideas and are bold have actually hit these fierce beasts with their ideas!
So some merchants hired mercenaries to go into the mountains to hunt and kill fierce beasts, taking their skin, flesh and bones, without wasting a single thing. The meat of the beast is edible, and it is very strong and tastes good. The fur of the beast can be used to make clothes and armor. The bones of the fierce beast can even be used in medicine.
In general, in the eyes of many businessmen, the fierce beast has become a sweet tooth.
So there were big trading houses, and even wrote to Li Zheng, asking to buy the corpses of the fierce beasts killed by the army.
Li Zheng agreed. However, the fur of the beast was to be kept for forging armor, and the flesh and bones were all sold to merchants.
In response to this, Li Zheng issued two more orders. The first order is a military order. If the armies can capture the beast alive, do not kill it, but immediately send it to the pasture where it will be domesticated. The second is to publish the task of capturing the fierce beast ** in the Mercenary Guild.
The fierce beasts, all kinds of beasts far beyond this time and space, have basically reached the conditions for synthesizing second-order war horses, although they have caused a huge disaster, but they are also an excellent resource in nature. As long as you use it properly, there are many benefits. (To be continued.) )
