Chapter 109: I Am Sorrowful and Bright Moon
That night, countless Kong Ming lanterns followed the wind to the west, covering almost half of Chuzhou.
This scene is even more shocking than a meteor shower. These ancients had never seen such a scene, so the people of Chuzhou and the Chuzhou army on the march stopped and looked up one after another.
In the sky, some Kong Ming lanterns burned out of wax and slowly fell to the ground.
Those who were close to each other went over and picked up the Kong Ming lantern that had fallen to the ground, wanting to take a closer look at what was so magical about this thing and why it could fly in the sky.
At this time, the person who picks up the Kong Ming lantern will find the letter placed on it.
Letters were placed on each Kong Ming lantern, and most of them were written by residents of Dongxing City.
Some say they have fled all the way from the north and do not want to be involved in the war again.
Some people say that their father and mother died in the war, and now they are lonely, but they still have to face the war.
There are countless such letters......
Everyone is from Chuzhou, and when they see these letters, they inevitably have a feeling of sadness for the dead rabbit and the fox.
Especially when the Chuzhou army on the march saw these letters, they felt very uncomfortable. Because this war was provoked by them.
They are murderous swords and executioners.
You must know that the king of Beishan sent troops this time, so the army's morale is unstable. Now seeing these letters from the people of Chuzhou, the army's heart is even more shaken.
What's more, some people's hometowns are in Dongxing City, and they don't want their hometowns to be abused.
So, in the middle of the night, some people in the Chuzhou army took the lead in mutiny. The large army that was marching suddenly became chaotic.
At the same time, in the city of Chuzhou, the warring Chuzhou army saw that the refugees from Chuzhou were not afraid of death, so they asked in surprise, "You are obviously from Chuzhou, why do you want to fight for the capital?"
"For it is unfaithful for you to be thieves."
"It's unkind for you to kill your fellow villagers and elders!"
"You kill your comrades in the Southern Wei Dynasty, this is unrighteousness!"
"If you are disloyal, unkind, and unjust, you are the scum of the Southern Wei Dynasty, our enemy!" The Chuzhou refugee shouted.
Hearing such an answer, the Chuzhou army was struck by lightning, and its morale instantly dropped.
A group of well-equipped Chuzhou troops were forced to retreat by the refugees.
It's not that they can't beat it, they just feel like they're wrong. At this moment, everyone felt that the knife in their hands was as heavy as being filled with lead.
In addition to the changes in the army, the people of Chuzhou have also changed. After many people saw the letter on Kong Ming's lantern, they went to stop the logistics of the Chuzhou army from transporting grain.
The seemingly monolithic Chuzhou army fell apart in the middle of the night, and there was no ...... of fighting spirit
In the barracks, Liu Cheng picked up a fallen Kong Ming lantern and opened the letter on it to take a look.
"I send my sorrow and the bright moon, and follow the wind until the night is long." He muttered the verses written on the letter, and then sighed, "Fan'er, you are really good at writing."
"Your plan is indeed very good, and this gust of wind is your luck. This time, you win."
Liu Cheng smiled slightly, his expression calm.
At this time, in the camp, the king of Beishan watched the news of the mutiny come one after another, and was furious.
"Lao Tzu treats them well on weekdays, but for the sake of a few broken letters, they actually mutinied and came to bite Lao Tzu back?!"
"Lord, what should we do?"
The King of Beishan thought for a moment and had nothing to do, so he could only call Liu Cheng from outside and ask for countermeasures.
Liu Cheng let out a long sigh and muttered, "Without the will of the people, everything is a plate of scattered sand. You used to act violently, but now the wall is falling down and everyone is pushing it, it is doomed."
"Moreover, I said a long time ago that you can't rashly send troops to the capital, and you will suffer yourself if you end up like this today. You will eat the bitter fruit today."
"You don't have a fucking fart!" The king of Beishan couldn't hear these words, so he grabbed Liu Cheng's neck.
"Hmph, if you strangle me, just wait for the defeat and death." Liu Cheng sneered, not afraid at all.
He's confident that no one but him can reverse the current defeat.
If you are not careful, the Chuzhou army is likely to completely rebel!
At this moment, the king of Beishan panicked, he hesitated for a long time before letting go of Liu Cheng stupidly, and then said with a smile: "Uncle, my nephew is too anxious, so he accidentally bumped into you. Ask my uncle to come up with a plan to save my nephew once!"
Liu Cheng said coldly: "You withdraw your troops now, retreat bravely in the rapids, and keep the elite of your lineage, and everything will still have a chance."
When the king of Beishan heard this, his expression struggled.
"If you don't agree, then wait to rebel."
The King of the North Mountain clenched his fists, and then slapped the table hard.
"Pass the military order, and the whole army will withdraw to Chuzhou City!"
"The whole army retreats!"
"The whole army retreats!"
After giving the military order, the king of Beishan also went out, mounted his horse and retreated towards Chuzhou City. It can be said that there is a lot of scenery when you come, and how embarrassed you are when you leave.
On the way, he also asked, "When will we be able to call back today?"
"The plan of this lantern today must be what my righteous son thinks. His methods in this aspect of the human heart are indeed superb." Liu Cheng paused as he spoke.
"But I have a plan to get rid of him in five days. When I get rid of him, there will be no one in the world to stop me!"
When he finished speaking, he laughed sickly again.
That smile made the king of Beishan shrink his neck, and his heart was worried......
