Chapter 170: Burning Military Rations
Chapter 170: Oath
Several female disciples didn't speak, they couldn't accuse Gu Du of running a desperate plan, because the two countries were fighting each other, although they negotiated peace, but everyone knew that this was just an illusion, once the spirit country recovered its vitality, it would inevitably raise troops to the north again.
And Gu Du was right, he only reduced the food of the Spirit Kingdom, and did not kill anyone, it was the Spirit Kingdom's own army that was killing its own people.
Of course, it can also be said to be quelling the chaos.
As for saying that Gu Du sent people to instigate among the refugees, it was also because Lingguo did not do a good job of disaster relief, otherwise it would be useless to instigate.
For ordinary people, as long as they can live, no one will work hard, even if they live humiliatingly, as long as they can live.
After being silent for a while, someone looked at Gu Du and asked, "Uncle, are you teaching us a lesson?" ”
Gu Du replied: "Yes, one by one, you lose face with me every day, as if I am a heinous sinner, the conquest of the two countries, whether it is a strategy or a soldier, is a matter of course, what is wrong with me?" ”
Someone said, "We are afraid of your retribution, and if God wants to make you uncomfortable, he will not let you die, but will take away the people closest to you." ”
Gu Du said: "I have selfish intentions to avenge Jin Lan's mother and son, but now I am doing this for the sake of Zeguo, and finally let Zeguo dominate the world. If this is the case, you will also give me retribution, then please ask God to send thunder to chop the Spirit Emperor to death, and split the three levels. ”
All the female disciples bit their lips and exchanged glances with each other to see who could say anything.
Gu Du said again: "When Jin Lan died tragically, what did I do wrong? At that time, I ordered and forbidden, and served the country loyally. You just said that if God wants to make me uncomfortable, he will not let me die, but will take away my closest people...... But at that time, what did I do wrong? Why take my nearest and dearest? ”
All the female disciples lowered their heads, and Gu Du said again: "You are disciples of Juelingmen, after all, you are not soldiers of Zeguo, I brought you here today to tell you that this is a war, you can stand it, just stay in Suxian Mountain, if you can't stand it, go back to Kanzhan Mountain, but no matter where you go, from now on, don't be presumptuous to me again, otherwise someone will use the rules and family law to deal with you." ”
The refugees were blocked under the pass, Gu Du took Dongfang Xia Lan back to Zeguo, met Emperor Ze, told Emperor Ze about the situation of Sunset Pass, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the time has come, the spirit country at this time to both calm the chaos and disaster relief, and the green and yellow are not accepted, and our country has changed the law for a year, the soldiers are eager to make meritorious contributions, and the grain and grass are sufficient, the strength is more than 200,000, at this time, the use of troops, when you can go straight down to the sunset pass, this pass is opened, the attack and defense are transposed, even if the army is no longer advancing to the south, there is this pass and Lan, Xia Ercheng before and after, It can also break the natural danger of the spirit country. ”
Lixia also said: "What my brother said is extremely true, the three levels of the Spirit Kingdom are dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you can get one level and cause offense and defense translocation, it will have long-term benefits in our country." ”
Emperor Ze's face was complicated, with both excitement and worry, and said: "I also know that the opportunity cannot be lost, and the time will not come again, but my country is the first to tear up the covenant, is it the heart of the world?" ”
Gu Du said: "The emperor doesn't need to worry, the ministers will give the emperor a word." ”
Five days later, Zeming County reported urgently, saying that someone had set fire to the fields, and thousands of acres of grain fields were destroyed!
Emperor Ze was so distressed, he knew that Gu Du did it, but he didn't have to burn so much, right? Thousands of acres, that's tens of thousands of stone grain!
The next day, Emperor Ze said indignantly: "Zeming County has destroyed thousands of acres of fertile land!" Tens of thousands of stone of grain loss! What do you think? ”
Without waiting for anyone to speak, Emperor Ze glared at Gu Du and said, "Uncle Guo, you have been monitoring the territory of the Spirit Kingdom for a long time, you speak first!" ”
Gu Du was amused in his heart, more than 30,000 stones of grain made Emperor Ze feel distressed, but if it didn't hurt, how could he have such a momentum of righteous indignation?
Gu Du went out of class and said: "Your Majesty, Lingguo is now suffering from internal troubles due to lack of food, the hungry people in several counties in the northeast have rebelled, and the hungry people in the northwest have burned Lingyu County. The minister thought that this time it was the meticulous work of the Lingguo caravan that burned down the fertile land of our country, in order to prevent our country from taking advantage of its civil strife and waving its army south. ”
Hua Qingsheng, the first member of the Military and Political Division, said: "Your Majesty, in the past three years, the emperor has worked hard to govern the country, and the three armies have been vigorously recruiting soldiers. ”
Zedi asked, "Uncle Guo, how should you fight?" ”
Gu Du replied: "Lan and Xia have each increased their troops by 25,000 troops, raised 100,000 troops, and first went down to the Sunset Pass to open the gate to the southern border. ”
Emperor Ze said: "Okay, then Uncle Guo will lead the army and go south in a few days." ”
Gu Du was just about to answer, but Li Xia stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers are invited to fight." ”
Emperor Ze was taken aback and blurted out: "How can that be?" Not! ”
Li Xia said: "Your Majesty, Duke Yu, and the minister are great spirit masters, and they should fight for the country. Yu privately, Princess Xiaoguo is the minister's sister-in-law, her mother and son have not avenged their revenge, how can the minister sleep peacefully? In public and private, the south conquers the spiritual country, and the ministers must participate in the war. ”
Emperor Ze frowned and looked at Gu Du and said, "Uncle Guo? ”
Gu Du said: "Your Majesty, the queen's identity is respected, and she is the mother of the country, how can she fight as bloody as before, it is inappropriate for love, reason, and law." ”
Lixia sneered: "Brother! ”
Gu Du said: "Queen, the etiquette and law of the country cannot be desecrated, and the important weapons of the country cannot be used privately, and the two countries have been in trade for a long time, I am afraid that the spirit country has been all over the imperial city, and the queen stays in the palace to protect the emperor, which is more important than the southern expedition." ”
Emperor Ze hurriedly said: "What Uncle Guo said is very reasonable, Queen, the eldest brother is like a father, you must obey Uncle Guo's words." ”
Rexia frowned, what is this called? Above the court, as the emperor, he actually said that his eldest brother was like a father? Isn't this clearly telling the courtiers that Gu Du's words are more effective than the emperor's words?
However, Li Xia knew that he was anxious and did not want to let her go south, and besides, above the court, she couldn't lose her face and make a temperament, so she responded: "Obey the order." ”
Gu Du said again: "Please swear an oath to the emperor." ”
Emperor Ze replied: "Okay, Hua Aiqing, gather the army, and in three days I will swear to march south." ”
Hua Qingsheng responded: "Obey." ”
Three days later, the army assembled, and Emperor Ze took the stage to swear: "Soldiers! The spirit kingdom deceived me too much! Now that the domestic disaster is rampant, he will send a fine worker to destroy my fertile land and deprive me of rations! Such an act is really the evil of tigers and wolves! Zeguo must not sit idly by, and can no longer be slaughtered by others as before! ”
"Today! I am a soldier for you! This southern expedition must clear the universe and cleanse the haze! ”
