Chapter 1348: Buying the hearts of the people

The war of the Moon Kingdom against Southern Qi took place half a year after Lin Si left Xiancheng. When the romance was first released, it was only a year and a half since the last time Qianlan was destroyed.

The scale of this war is not inferior to any major war in the middle of the continent. It's just that at this time, many people's eyes are not focused on this war in the southeast region with a huge disparity in strength.

The reason is very simple, the battle between Shenyan and Gao Zhen has reached the most intense period. Maybe two or three months, maybe half a month, maybe these days will tell the winner.

Although Gao Zhen received the assistance of the Bilan Empire, there was still a huge gap in national strength compared to the Shenyan Empire.

In the face of Mi Yuanyun, Luo Hou was able to hold on for three years with a weak force, and even occasionally created victories in local encounters, which was enough to prove his talent.

If it weren't for the fact that the Emperor of the Shenyan Empire was too determined, and could even be called reckless, the situation that he could not be attacked for three years would have been enough to make the other attackers take the initiative to retreat.

Now when it comes to the ranking of famous generals in Tianshuce, few people will go to Tiluohou again, and then the fiasco of Qing'an City. Of course, not many people mentioned the fire in Xianglan City again.

It's a pity that the sudden retreat of Qianlan's reinforcements still seriously disrupted Luo Hou's original deployment.

In addition, Mi Yuanyun was already waiting for the opportunity for the other party to reveal his flaws, and even if Luo Hou tried his best, he couldn't make up for the line of defense that kept showing loopholes.

When Qianlan was destroyed, the defense line in the north of Gao Zhen, which seemed to never be broken, finally collapsed. In the following year, Gao Zhen's army was defeated and retreated, and even though Luo Hou had great powers, he was still powerless to return to the sky.

Just a month ago, the capital of Gaozhen had been captured, and King Gaozhen had killed himself. Several princes of the Gaozhen Kingdom were captured, and the ministers surrendered, fled, and died.

Luo Hou led hundreds of thousands of remnants of the army all the way to continue to retreat, and now they have retreated to the south of Gaozhen, and the Shenyan army has not relaxed in the slightest, and only intends to completely strangle this remnant army.

To the west of Gaozhen is the country of Liunu, although this country is wide, but like Chongluo, the west is also a large area of yellow sand, and the national strength is not very strong. In the face of the Shenyan Empire, they can't hide, for fear that they will be burned, where can they dare to help Gao Zhen.

To the east of Gao Zhen are the northern part of the Purple Star and the southern part of the Red Tower, both of which are from the Shenyan camp. didn't pull out to flank Gao Zhen, just because Chilou was dragged by Bi Lan, and Zixing was busy dealing with the Moon Kingdom in the south.

To the north is the Shenyan army, and it can be said that the only help Gao Zhen can count on now is Qianlan in the south, which is now the Moon Kingdom.

However, everyone knows that the Moon Kingdom can't be counted on at all now, although the Moon Kingdom and Bi Lan have become allies, all they do is not to infringe on Gao Zhen.

What's more, now that Yueguo himself is busy fighting Nanqi, how can he have the time to care about Gao Zhen's life or death.

Faced with Gao Zhen's predicament at this time, the only thing that the Moon Kingdom did was to temporarily transfer a million troops from the Southern Qi battlefield to the north to prevent Shenyan from invading the territory of Qianlan.

And Lin Si's original plan has also made certain modifications, Ye Hong, who was originally going to be sent to assist Ji Bingyun in attacking the grassland, has now been transferred to the north to guard, in order to block the Shenyan army.

In fact, even if Mi Yuanyun wanted to fight south, he was temporarily unable to continue fighting.

In order to lay down Gao Zhen, the Shenyan Empire itself did not pay a huge price. The original army of three million Shenyan is now only one and a half million, not to mention that they still have to send people to guard the inside of Gao Zhen, because the wave of resistance of Gao Zhen's people is in full swing.

Qianlan is too far away from the Shenyan mainland, and in this case, if you rush to the south, you are afraid that you will not be able to come back in the end.

The Yue Kingdom sent troops from the battlefield of Southern Qi back to the territory of Qianlan, and did not hide it from the eyes of many people. However, this move did not make Nan Qi and Zixing breathe a sigh of relief.

Because the Moon Kingdom's plan to attack the heart was finally fully implemented, countless rumors permeated the people and the army of Southern Qi.

There are many versions of rumors, such as Zixing assassinated a certain minister and a certain general of Southern Qi over the years, in order to smoothly control Southern Qi. For example, when the Purple Star Kingdom suppressed uprisings in various places, how many innocent people of Southern Qi were killed. For example, how arrogant and domineering the Purple Star people are in Southern Qi, how many gold, silver and jewels have been looted from Southern Qi, and what will happen to them after they are defeated......

Some of these rumors are false, and some are half-truths mixed with speculation. For a while, no one could tell which was false and which was true, and after some rumors spread, they were even added to the fire by the soldiers and civilians of the Southern Qi Dynasty to spread the rumors.

Because, some phenomena do exist. For example, the Purple Star people killed innocents indiscriminately when they suppressed the uprising, and the Purple Star people were arrogant and domineering in the territory of Southern Qi......

These things have been witnessed by the people of Nanqi. After rumors are spread in large quantities, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, especially such rumors mixed with partial truth, which are easily believed by many people, and the consequences of this are almost devastating.

In the past few years, the Southern Qi court itself, the heavy suffering and oppression suffered by the common people, it seems that they will be vented with this rumor that has affected the whole territory of the Southern Qi Dynasty.

In some places, there have even been voices that simply welcome the people of the Moon Kingdom in, overthrow the ** Southern Qi court, and drive away the wolf ambition Purple Star people.

Although this kind of sound is very rare, it is enough to represent some wind directions in the territory of Nanqi at this time.

If they could, the people would not want to destroy the country in Southern Qi. However, it is difficult for him to eat, and he can't even live, so who cares who will be the king?

It can be said that the picture of the Southern Qi united to resist the 'invaders' of the Moon Kingdom is almost unlikely. If Lin Si could treat the people of Southern Qi well when attacking Southern Qi, perhaps the people of Southern Qi would take the initiative to lead the way for the army of the Moon Kingdom......

As for the Southern Qi Purple Star Alliance, the gazes of many Southern Qi soldiers looking at their superiors and the surrounding Purple Star soldiers had become extremely complicated.

The outcome of this war is indeed no longer in suspense.

Unless Lin Si and the others were too stupid, it would be impossible for the army of the Moon Kingdom to be defeated. And in this situation of gaining the upper hand, Lin Si didn't know how to use it?

The Western Front battlefield was victorious in the first confrontation with the Southern Qi Purple Star Alliance.

The gap in strength is too big, especially at the master level. The demoralized and untrained Southern Qi soldiers played little role on the battlefield, and the Purple Star people could only choose to retreat even if they were unwilling.

After that, after Lin Si collected the weapons and armor of the Southern Qi captives, he released them all.

Not only was it released, but even tens of thousands of Nanqi captives were given ten days of rations each.

Lin Si's purpose is very simple and direct, that is, to buy the hearts of the soldiers and civilians of Southern Qi.

It is true that he is now an aggressor, but sometimes the people's inner thoughts are very simple, whoever is good to them is their own people.

While talking about the great righteousness of the country and the nation, while exploiting them and letting them eat the bark of grass roots and trees, how many people will adhere to this kind of righteousness in the end?

Only when you are full can you have the strength to fight.

In fact, although Lin Si himself was quite interested in war, he did not want the war to affect ordinary people, even the people of enemy countries.

However, this kind of thinking is naturally naïve, and can even be called hypocritical, and it is actually impossible to do it. War is not pure, it is all for the sake of profit.

However, this time, the people of Southern Qi will not necessarily become his enemies.

For this reason, Lin Si specially issued a strict order that the army should not disturb the people after entering the villages and towns of Chengchi in Southern Qi, and try to do nothing in the autumn.

He didn't care if the released captives would return to the Southern Qi army or to the countryside. He only hopes to make some efforts in advance for the stability of Nanqi in the future.

His efforts were not in vain, and the advance of the various Moon State armies on the battlefield was extremely smooth. In addition to the victory of the battlefield confrontation, a large part of it depended on the Nanqi people themselves.

Many cities had taken the initiative to open their gates before the arrival of the Moon Kingdom's army, and had no intention of resisting at all.

In the past year, they have also heard about the situation of the people of Qingchuan and Qianlan, and the court of the Yue Kingdom has implemented many preferential measures for the people of these two countries. Some people of Southern Qi even hoped that the Yue Kingdom could unify Southern Qi as soon as possible and end their suffering days as soon as possible.

And Lin Si and his generals did not commit any crimes in the autumn, and they would even open the granary to help the surrounding people after capturing the city.

This will certainly slow down the pace of the attack, but it will lay a solid foundation for reassuring the people of Southern Qi in the future.

Everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before the Moon Kingdom wins.

If the Purple Star people can use all their strength, if it is in their own territory, then this battle still has to be fought. But it's a pity that now they are also fighting in other places, and the 'territory' they are now guarding has not become their real rear at all.

By the time the war had been going on for a month, half of the territory of Southern Qi had fallen. The outside world's speculation about this battle is only how many Purple Star troops can be left behind by the people of the Moon Country, and when the Purple Star Army intends to return to the Purple Star Kingdom.

Many Southern Qi courtiers surrendered early and secretly fled into the Moon Kingdom, and the situation could no longer be reversed.

No one understands that the Purple Star people are still holding on to Nanqi, what is the point of fighting this battle alive or dead. Could it be that it was to annihilate as much of the Moon Kingdom army as possible? But now on the battlefield, the Purple Star and Southern Qi coalition forces could not pose a threat to the Moon Kingdom army at all.

To continue fighting, it is just a drain on their own strength.

Or, the Purple Star People were waiting for Mi Yuanyun to lead the Shenyan army to come and support them? But Gao Zhen's Luo Hou's resistance was extremely tenacious, and a month had passed, and the Shenyan people still hadn't been able to end the battle.

Until this day, an army of 500,000 steppes suddenly appeared outside the line of Yincheng to the west of the Moon Country.

A new war broke out without warning, the steppe people launched a fierce attack on Yincheng, and Gu Yuda, who was stationed in Yincheng, was not a mediocre general, but from the beginning of this war, the Moon Kingdom was still in a precarious situation.

There is a huge difference in the strength of the two sides, and there are only more than 200,000 Yueguo troops along the Yincheng line. If it weren't for the fact that the steppe cavalry couldn't play much advantage in attacking the city, the barrier to the west of the Moon Kingdom might collapse at the touch of a button.

It's just that if this development continues, maybe it won't take a few days for Yincheng to fall.

And once the Silver City falls, the gates of the Moon Kingdom will be opened. At that time, the tens of thousands of miles from Yincheng to Xiancheng are almost equivalent to being undefended.

The reason is very simple, the army of the Moon Kingdom is now in the territory of Southern Qi and Qianlan, and the Moon Kingdom is very empty at this time.

When the news spread, there was an uproar in the outside world. (To be continued.) )
