Chapter 64: In the Name of the Gods
The city lord thought very well, the Dongyue clan has lived in the mountains and forests since childhood, and fighting in the mountains and forests has more advantages than defending the city.
But Li Su knew that this would not work, because the Southern Barbarian Kingdom also grew up in the mountains and forests, and was also defeated by Chen Mu.
Moreover, Chen Mu also incorporated the soldiers of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, so he was even more afraid of fighting in the mountains and forests.
Li Su objected in every way, but instead angered the city lord and put Li Su under house arrest.
In this battle, the city lord sent another general to fight.
When the Great Xia army approached the city, the city lord apologized to Li Su again and invited him out.
As soon as Li Su saw the current situation, there was nothing he could do, so he opened the bag left by his father.
Speaking of this, Li Su looked up at Chen Mu.
"The trick is to make the prophecy come true."
Chen Mu asked, "What prophecy?" ”
Li Su: "This prophecy was designed and spread by my father, and when translated into Bactria language, it means that the mountain god will send a saint to bring a happy life to the people of Dongyue." The saint will appear in the early morning and come from the flames as the sun rises. ”
Chen Mu nodded slowly.
He now believed that Li Su had indeed come to surrender. Because Li Su had already told the things about the steppe tribes, the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, and the Persian State, he should know that Dongyue was indeed not the opponent of Great Xia.
And this prophecy is the retreat left by Li Su's father.
This shows that Li Su's father was also far-sighted, and knew that it was impossible for Dongyue to be an enemy of the vast territory of Great Xia.
But Chen Mu still has something to figure out.
"What did you mean by the Poseidon faction?"
Li Su replied: "Dongyue is made up of many tribes, and my Fu'an tribe is just one of them. However, these tribes can be divided into two factions, that is, those who believe in the god of the mountain and those who believe in the god of the sea. ”
"Those who are close to Daxia all believe in the mountain god, but those on the other side of the sea all believe in the sea god."
"There is often friction between the two factions, and even within the factions there are open and secret fights."
"This time, it was the people sent by the sea god to ask the city lord to stop the Great Xia army, they brought a lot of food, and promised to give more goods after the matter was completed, and the city lord agreed."
Chen Mu's eyes lit up after hearing this.
Since Dongyue is divided into two factions, then he can pull one faction to fight the other, and as far as the current situation is concerned, of course, it is to win over the mountain god faction.
"Li Su, if we successfully subdue the Fu'an Clan, can you convince the other Mountain God Sects to unite with us?"
Li Su smiled slightly, nodded and said, "That's exactly what I mean." I believe that after Dongyue returns to Great Xia, it will definitely live a better life. ”
"Hahaha......" Chen Mu stood up with a smile, "Okay!" It is a great blessing to have Mr. Li's help! ”
"Say, how can we make the prophecy fulfilled?"
Li Su said the plan with a smile, and Chen Mu laughed when he heard it.
Isn't this magic?
However, it is enough to deceive the uncivilized Dongyue people.
……
The next day, when it was cloudless, Chen Mu followed the plan and asked the army to line up outside the city.
On the side of the Fu'an tribe, the city lord, Li Su and other officials all came to the city tower to watch the battle.
At this time, the sun is just halfway up.
Suddenly, Li Su pointed in the direction of the sun and shouted, "Look! ”
When they turned their heads, they saw a fire burning in the distance.
In the midst of the flames, a figure walked up.
It turned out to be walking in the fire!
Li Su shouted loudly: "It's the saint in the prophecy!" It was sent by the mountain god to give us happiness! ”
Of course, the city lord and several officials had heard this prophecy, but they did not believe that it was really a person in the fire.
"How could anyone walk in a fire?"
"Maybe it's a mistake, right?"
"That must not be a human being."
As he spoke, Chen Mu had already walked out of the flames, drew his long sword and pointed it at the sky, just aimed at the rising sun.
"I am Chen Mu, the prince of Great Xia! Today, on behalf of the gods, come to subdue Dongyue! ”
Li Su secretly praised: What a momentum! Good looks!
Chen Mu's play adds a bit of credibility.
Seeing this, the city lord shouted: "It's true! He is a prophetic saint! ”
Of course, Chen Mu didn't really come out of the fire, he was standing in a pit before the sun came out.
When the sun was halfway up, there were soldiers who lit the wood, and then Chen Mu came out of the pit, and the firelight just reflected his figure.
In fact, the flame in front of Chen Mu was always more than a meter away from him.
The wood was tied to iron chains, Chen Mu walked over, and the soldiers standing in the pits on both sides pulled the chains to separate the flames.
After Chen Mu walked over, the soldiers behind him put the wood back again, and from a distance, it looked as if Chen Mu had come out of the flames.
Moreover, Chen Mu is tall, magnificent, wearing bright silver armor and a purple and gold crown, under the background of the firelight, he is like a god descending to earth.
There is no reason why the people of Dongyue do not believe it.
Chen Mu changed a magic trick here, and as soon as Li Su flickered on the city tower, the city lord ordered the city to be opened.
Chen Mu was not careless, what if Li Su's head was in the water and he wanted to lure him into the city?
Therefore, Chen Mu first let the Invincible Flying Army and the Wudang Flying Army enter the city to control the soldiers of Dongyue, and then entered the city himself.
The city lord led people to greet the saint, and Chen Mu gladly accepted.
Then translated by Li Su, Chen Mu began to give orders.
First of all, Chen Mu, in the name of the mountain god, made a new covenant for the Dongyue people.
If you want to live happily, you must obey it, otherwise you will be punished by the gods.
The city lord and others were convinced, and immediately asked the officials to convey it to the people.
When they heard that the saint had come, they were very happy, because the prophecy said that the saint would bring them a happy life.
Chen Mu is not just talking but not practicing, while letting the army take over the defense, while letting people create some things that are commonly used in life.
They are all daily necessities from Chen Mu's previous life, which are ten thousand times stronger than those brought by Li Su's father.
Within a few days, the officials and people of the whole city used the things invented by Chen Mu, and they really felt that their lives were much happier.
Chen Mu saw that the time was almost up, and called Li Su again to have a meeting with the city lord and others.
After a salute, Chen Mu said: "The great mountain god is the only god in Dongyue, and the sea god in the south is an evil god, he sent people to bewitch the people of the Fu'an tribe to attack the holy army led by me, so that thousands of innocent people died in the mountains and forests. ”
"We must send troops to punish these ignorant Dongyue people and save them from the evil sea gods."
After listening to this, Li Su was really impressed by Chen Muzhen.
This game of using the mouth of the gods to do selfish desires can be regarded as making Chen Mu understand. In his case, he couldn't have come up with such a brilliant excuse.
Sure enough, Li Su translated to the city lord, and the city lord immediately became furious, clamoring to find someone from the Poseidon faction desperately.
Chen Mu also said that there were not many soldiers in the Fu'an tribe now, and he needed to unite with other mountain god sect tribes, and the city lord of course agreed.
