Chapter 416: Sadness

When Huang Yuan saw the piece of paper handed over by his subordinates, he knew what he meant by the fact that the Recruiting Division would attack tomorrow.

It was a palm-sized piece of paper, on which the Ezhou City Gate was drawn, as an open shape, and there was a line of small words next to it: Attack the city tomorrow!

According to the report of his subordinates, these pieces of paper, like the pictures that appeared earlier, suddenly appeared on the streets of Ezhou. There are a lot of these pieces of paper, but the soldiers of the General's Mansion are stunned and have not found out who distributed these pieces of paper.

"General, now the people of Ezhou have spread all over the city, saying that the 70,000 soldiers of the Recruitment Division have been stationed outside Ezhou City, and they will attack the city tomorrow! Someone must have spread the word about the contents of this piece of paper. Now the people in the city are all restless, especially the poor people in the area of Xinhe Street, as if they have fried the pot. ”

The voice of his subordinates has an irrepressible fear.

Also, the number of 70,000 soldiers of the Recruitment Division has already taken an absolute advantage, especially those who came to attack the city with the soldiers of the Recruitment Division, or their old chief officers, which is like a big stone for these subordinates!

"Mr. Feng, what do you think?" Huang Yuan pressed the piece of paper on the desk and asked the people under the desk.

It was a middle-aged strategist, one of the people Huang Yuan relied on the most when he came in. Since the Huang Yuan Uprising, this Feng strategist has given him a lot of practical and useful advice, which helped him stabilize the situation in Ezhou in such a short period of time, and also won the hearts of the people of Ezhou, so that he replaced the history of Ezhou assassination.

That article was written by this Feng strategist.

Such a resourceful and talented person can help himself. Huang Yuan has always felt very lucky. Feng Moushi's name, Feng Wanshi, this name is nothing special, but his teacher is very fierce, which is the real reason why Huang Yuan relies on him.

Feng Wanshi's teacher is He Zhaotang, a famous strategist in Dayong, known as "Mr. Chaotang". He Zhaotang was the emperor of the Huihe Dynasty, and later retired to the mountains and forests, but the name of his strategy. but it flourished with his retreat.

Huang Yuan had heard of the prestige of Mr. Chaotang, and the talent shown by Feng Wanshi did not fall into this prestige, otherwise Huang Yuan would not have become the general of Pingyong in such a short period of time.

"Recently, things in Ezhou City have been one after another. First the pictures, then the nursery rhymes, and now the paper. Obviously, this is the strategy of the Recruiting Division. ”

Feng Wanshi stroked his beard, and his tone was not panicked, but leisurely.

"A plan to attack the heart? What is the solution? Huang Yuan listened to the leisurely tone in his tone. I also let go of my worries a lot.

"The Recruitment Division has done so many things, just to make the people of Ezhou afraid of the general. Stay away from the Great General. Although there is some commotion in Ezhou City now, this is fine. The Recruitment Division has done so many things, which just let us know their weakness, as long as the general grasps this weakness, Ezhou can be defended! ”

The determination in Feng Wanshi's tone reflects a strong self-confidence, which is very convincing.

"Weakness?" Huang Yuan couldn't keep up with Feng Wanshi's train of thought for a while. I had to repeat the question.

"Yes! The weakness of the Recruitment Division is the people of Ezhou! This is the land of Ezhou. There are almost 150,000 people, and in the city of Ezhou alone, there are 80,000 people! As long as the general holds these 80,000 people tightly, it means that we have 80,000 troops, and the Recruitment Division will definitely not dare to attack easily! They're a rat trap! ”

The people of Ezhou are the key to everything. At this moment, where the people's hearts are, the odds of winning are more! Besides, the court officials of Dayong, Feng Wanshi has already seen it very thoroughly. They talk about benevolence and righteousness, cherish their reputation very much, and never dare to forcibly attack the city, because they are afraid of the people of the world and the people of Ezhou!

Gu Dacun is like this, there was no siege at that time, and now that the recruitment division is here, there will be no difference, otherwise, there will be no need to do so many things in the inner city of Ezhou!

"But now the people of Ezhou are moved, it's all that rumor! Lang will be crazy, cannibalism! And the people are convincing! If the Recruiting Division attacks the city tomorrow, what should it be! Originally, the general also planned to contact Liu Liang to disperse the forces of the Recruitment Division. It's too late for anything now! ”

Huang Yuan's tone was a little corrupt, these people are really unfamiliar! Earlier, he also reluctantly distributed the food he got from the Xie family to the people, but who knew that it was just some pictures, a nursery rhyme and a rumor, which shook the minds of these people, which made Huang Yuan resentful in his heart!

"Dayong subjects, such a concept is deeply ingrained among the people of Ezhou. Fortunately, now is the time of the great drought, as long as the general is willing to divide the grain, he can stabilize the hearts of the people of Ezhou! To deal with such rumors, it is very simple, only the general needs to make a play. ”

Although these nursery rhymes, rumors, and pieces of paper are one after another, Feng Wanshi thinks that these are small paths and have no effect at all. As long as the people of Ezhou knew who gave them food and who was thinking about them, no matter how many pictures and pieces of paper were distributed, it would be useless.

"But...... There is not much food from the Xie family. Now that there is such a drought, food is scarce. A few days earlier, the Japanese general had already ordered the suspension of food relief, and if it was taken out again, I am afraid that it would be difficult for the soldiers to eat it in the future. ”

It's not that Huang Yuan doesn't want to take out the grain, but the grain is limited, and this kind of practice of winning the hearts of the people is tantamount to fishing with all the water, which is not a feasible solution!

"Dealing with this crisis for the time being, as long as Ezhou drags on for a few more days, the situation will be different. Presumably, the situation in Hanoi Province, Liu Liang of Jinzhou, will also know. After Ezhou is pacified, the next thing to clean up is Jinju, if he doesn't want to sit still, he will definitely take action, so that he can disperse the forces of the Recruitment Division. ”

The lesser of two evils, the top priority at the moment is to deal with the matter of the Recruiting Division attacking the city tomorrow, and the key is to hold these 80,000 people in their hands, so that the Recruiting Division will not dare to move.

"So...... Just follow Mr. Feng's arrangement! The land of Ezhou is bound to be defended! There was determination in Huang Yuan's voice. From the moment he raised the flag, there was no way back, he must hold Ezhou! At the very least, we must defend Ezhou City, otherwise, it will be the end of the death of the clan!

The people of Ezhou are whispering about the imperial court's invitation to attack the city tomorrow. They also saw the pieces of paper, they didn't know how to read, but someone told them the line.

They didn't know what to do, and the atmosphere in Ezhou City became tense, and things related to them were also one after another.

First of all, General Pingyong summoned the people in Ezhou City and asked them to gather in front of the General's Mansion, saying that there would be food distribution in the General's Mansion!

There is food, that is the most important thing! At the moment, there are more and more people gathered in the Great General's Mansion, and the flow of people is so large that they are almost pouring into the Great General's Mansion.

"Before distributing food, General Ben has one more thing to announce. In the past two days, a rumor against General Ben appeared in Ezhou City. After a thorough investigation by General Ben, it was found that this was a poisonous plan arranged by the Imperial Court Recruitment Division! Now, the General's Mansion has caught the rumor-mongers! General Ben has always been merciful, but today he can't bear it anymore! Come on, escort them out! ”

Huang Yuan stood in front of the General's Mansion and said righteously. As soon as he spoke, several people were escorted out, and many people recognized that these people were all the people who had said that they had gone to the General's Mansion before.

Immediately, the people gathered in front of the General's Mansion knew that the General did not have his own separate kitchen at all, and there was no such thing as splitting people and cannibalism, and some of them were just rumors and troubles from these people!

"The officials of the imperial court have been oppressing our people, and the food prepared for the waste has been resold by them to the big families, and our people can only eat the roots and gnaw the bark! We couldn't stand it anymore, so we rose up. The Pingyong General's Mansion is for the people to seek food and clothing. What's wrong with us?! It is the corrupt officials of the court who are wrong! What do you think, isn't that so? ”

Huang Yuan said quickly, and when he said the end, he couldn't help but redden, and his voice was a little choked.

The people were silent. They remembered the hardships after the great drought, the despair of having no grain to prepare for the waste, and the resentment when they rushed into the Ezhou Thorn Mansion. Many people lowered their heads, and the pieces of paper they were holding in their hands also fell.

"Besides, at that time, we rushed into the Ezhou Assassin Mansion together and killed the court officials, which is a big crime of killing the head! If the officials of the Imperial Court Recruitment Department are held accountable, we will not be able to get rid of the crime one by one! ”

Huang Yuan added again, saying Feng Wanshi's points one by one. The big crime of killing the head is a more urgent matter than starvation, and the people must be tightly tied to the side of the Pingyong General's Mansion.

"Today, the land of Ezhou continues to be dry. Even if General Ben eats the roots and gnaws the bark of the tree, he wants to save everyone's lives. General Ben promised that as long as there is food in the General's Mansion one day, it will not be a short meal for the people of Ezhou! Please don't be fooled by corrupt officials and corrupt officials! Fall for someone else's trick! ”

These words made more people bow their heads. Immediately, bags of grain were carried out from the General's Mansion, and the heads of the people were lowered.

They felt that what the general said was also very reasonable. The officials of the imperial court will only let their food supply run out, but the General's Mansion will distribute the rations to them.

Perhaps, I was really deceived by those pictures before, and some people thought so in their hearts.

It's just that they forgot one thing, and what really bewitched them was the general Pingyong who distributed food to them in front of them.

Because, the Imperial Court Recruitment Division is not the enemy of the people of Ezhou, but the person who will bring food and peace to them!

Ezhou may have been corrupt and harsh officials before, or there were things that oppressed the people. However, it does not mean that the officers and soldiers of the Recruitment Division will be like this, and pacification is the most important thing in Ezhou.

And General Heinaga, in the final analysis, is nothing more than a thief, a rebel!

What they forget is the saddest part, but it is a tragedy that cannot be reversed no matter how much they regret it! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
