Volume 16 Han and Tang Dynasty Chapter 1732 Turnaround
At any time, the common people are the worst, I don't know who first put it forward, but from the day it was proposed, it has been continuously proven correct, because the real world is always constantly proving repeatedly.
The misery of the common people, how miserable has it been?
The things we grow by ourselves are robbed by others, and we can't keep the food, why do we still have a life?
Yes, it was true at the beginning, grabbing food and not dying, even if the people are bitter, they still have a little bit of pity and choose the chance to live. But now it doesn't work, Li Chenggong's approach is that if you want food, you will also die, unless you are willing to work with others, otherwise he will not only rob you of your food, but also your life.
Although it is said that soldiers are ordinary people who take up arms, but not every ordinary person is willing to take up arms and become soldiers, many ordinary people are pacifists, and the greatest happiness in their lives is their wives, children, and hot kangs.
As long as these are these, they are already very satisfied, and they really haven't thought about any other fame, fortune, and wealth, let alone using force to rob other people's things for their own use.
Li Chenggong's approach made the people very disgusted, and they tried to resist, but it turned out that they did not have the ability to resist, because before they resisted, they had to make themselves a soldier, a common man who took up arms, so that they could truly control their own destiny.
Can't resist and live, the only way is to give in, the people are not willing to become Li Chenggong's eagle dogs, to harm more people for him, but they have no choice, in order to live for themselves, they only give up the idea of planning for other people's lives. It is precisely because almost everyone thinks like this when facing the choice of life and death, that all Li Chenggong's troops are getting stronger and stronger. In just one month, it has grown from 2,000 people to 200,000 now.
200,000 people, this is almost the number of troops of any of the seven great powers of the Tianfeng Continent back then, except for the Mandala Empire, which is famous for its military affairs, the regular troops of the other six countries are basically just this number. The military scale that took decades to build up in those countries was reached by Li Chenggong in just one month.
From a certain Cheng dΓΉ, Li Chenggong can be regarded as a genius, because there is only a genius. can reach a height that others can't reach in a lifetime in such a short time, but if Li Chenggong's means can be called talent means, then such means can be done by everyone. No, it should be said that all cold-blooded people in this world can do it.
"200,000, isn't it enough?" Avril asked Li Chenggong. This time, she can be said to have made great efforts for Li Chenggong, and the 200,000 troops were all brought back by her for Li Chenggong. Li Chenggong just watched from the side, and he had never personally commanded any war. If it is said that the use of troops against the common people is also a war.
"Is there already 200,000?" Li Chenggong smiled happily, and there was a hint of pride in his eyes, even if he wanted to, he couldn't hide it.
"As of yesterday, we had an army of 200,000. Avril replied tirelessly.
"Hmm. So let's do it first. β
What is this first?
Hu Wei may have guessed Li Chenggong's method of quickly gathering troops, but he definitely didn't expect how Li Chenggong would use the powerful force in his hands after gathering a large number of troops.
What Li Chenggong was going to do, Avril couldn't guess at first, but after that. Avril didn't have to guess to already know, because Li Chenggong had already done it for her.
What is Li Chenggong doing? When Hu Wei received the latest information, he was stunned for a while. Only then did I understand the purpose of Li Chenggong. Li Chenggong's purpose is very simple, he wants to destroy the whole world.
Yes, this is Li Chenggong's purpose, after he caught twenty percent of the people, he did not pull these soldiers who were already called Minfu to fight any forces, but let the people build the long city wall in place.
"Li Chenggong, is this going to build a new city?" Hongye looked at Hu Wei as if he had guessed it, so he no longer wasted his mind thinking about it.
Hu Wei looked at the red leaves for a while before he said with difficulty: "Li Chenggong is not going to build a new city, he is going to build the Great Wall." β
Hongye thought for a while, but he couldn't figure out the difference between the Great Wall and Xinchengzhi, fortunately, Hu Wei knew that Hongye couldn't figure out the relationship between the two, and took the initiative to explain: "If you guessed wrong, Li Chenggong is going to cut the Tianfeng Continent into many, many pieces." β
As the pen in Hu Wei's hand drew lines on the map, Hongye really understood Li Chenggong's intentions. And when he understood, Momiji's face changed color.
"Isn't Li Chenggong's method going to destroy the entire Tianfeng Continent?"
There is an old saying: if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, this sentence seems to be used here, it seems not very accurate, but this can at least explain the more important nature of the road. The land transportation of the Tianfeng Continent is not very developed, and the existing roads have been destroyed due to years of war, but they are barely usable.
It's barely working, but at least it's usable. Li Chenggong built the Great Wall, that is, he directly cut off all the roads.
Without transportation, let alone the economy, even walking has become a problem, the population cannot flow, and the goods cannot flow, and the Tianfeng Continent will become a pool of stagnant water in Li Chenggong's hands.
Huang Jinfeng understood the consequences of Li Chenggong's doing this better than Hongye, and said hurriedly: "We definitely can't let Li Chenggong do this!"
Hu Wei smiled bitterly: "Of course I know this, but what can we do now?"
Li Chenggong now has 200,000 people in his hands, and as long as he wants, he can grow to 2 million, or even 20 million, at any time. In his eyes, the common people are not human beings, and if they die, they will be caught, and they will not be afraid of any losses.
Li Chenggong can do this, can Hu Wei do this?
"Are we just letting Li Chenggong mess around?" Huang Jinfeng also knew that Hu Chenggong was embarrassed, but if it went on like this, Li Chenggong would ruin the entire continent.
"Maybe it's time for us to change our strategy. Momiji looked at Hu Yu and said in a deep voice.
Hu Wei nodded, shook his head again, and sighed: "Let me think about it again." β
Li Chenggong is a headache person, and he can always come up with the kind of way to give people a headache. His methods cannot be called ingenious. If you have to use an adjective, then it is more appropriate to say shameless.
All of Li Chenggong's means revolve around hurting the common people. Before, it was a massacre of ordinary people, but now it is a capture of ordinary people to be used as coolies. The same means, if it is Hu Wei, it can be done, but Hu Wei can't be as ruthless as Li Chenggong.
"Alas......"
Hu sighed heavily, in the past few days, his sighs have obviously been much more than before. Because no matter what he thought, he couldn't come up with a way to deal with Li Chenggong. Li Chenggong this move. It's so poisonous.
In fact, is there really no way?
That's not it, from the minute he received the news and analyzed Li Chenggong's purpose, Hu Wei had already thought of a way. It's just that this method can't be used by Hu Wei, and it is impossible to say that he can't use the same means to deal with Li Chenggong.
There are a lot of ordinary people in the Tianfeng Continent, Li Chenggong can be caught, and Hu Wei can also be caught. Even catching it is not much slower than Li Chenggong.
But so what, fight so hard. Fighting around, it is not the common people who die. If Hu Wei also uses methods like Li Chenggong to arrest a large number of ordinary people and fill the army, let them become cannon fodder-like characters and sacrifice a lot. So what is the difference between Li Chenggong and Hu Wei?
"But we don't seem to have a way out. "Momiji reminds Hu Wei.
The problem on Li Chenggong's side may still be solved one day earlier, and if it is too late, the power of success will become bigger and bigger, and he wants to destroy Li Chenggong again. That's going to be even more difficult.
"Are you going to let me sacrifice the lives of ordinary people?" Hu looked at Momiji dissatisfied. This thought had flashed through his heart many times and was suppressed many times. He was afraid that when he flashed out again, he wouldn't be able to suppress it.
Momiji said: "I don't want you to sacrifice the people, but now we have no other way." Sacrifice is inevitable. Isn't it?"
"I ......" Hu Wei was unspeakable for the first time, not because Hu Wei's mouth became stupid, but because he couldn't find a reason to refute Momiji.
Li Chenggong's current situation is already there, he has 200,000 ordinary people in his hands, whether they are coolies or soldiers, if you want to defeat Li Chenggong, you must face these ordinary people. This is a situation that Hu Wei is unwilling to face and has to face.
If you want to fight with Li Chenggong, you must recruit more soldiers, the more soldiers on both sides, the battlefield will become infinitely bigger, and more people will die at that time, this is a dead knot, except for the method of using red leaves, no one can untie it, and even now Hu Wei has not thought of a good way to untie him.
"Report, Miss Weiwei sent someone to send a message......
"Brother Hu Wei. β
"What's the matter, is Chen Dali already awake? Hu Wei received the news that Chen Dali had woken up, and immediately hurried over.
"I just woke up in the afternoon, I have already checked him, and I have found nothing for the time being, but whether it is really all right, I need more time to observe to be sure......"
Weiwei said a long time, Hu Wei didn't listen to a word, and before Weiwei finished speaking, Hu Wei interrupted: "Can I go in to see him now?"
As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing. Although Weiwei will not lie to Hu Wei, she said that Chen Dali has woken up, so Chen Dali must have woken up. But Hu Wei didn't see Chen Dali's situation with his own eyes, and he still couldn't put his mind at ease.
"Oh, yes, you come with me. Weiwei also found that now was not the time to talk about that, so he quickly led the way for Hu Wei, and let Hu Wei go and meet Chen Dali first.
"Young marshal. Chen Dali saw Hu Wei and struggled to get up.
"Lie down, lie down, I've just woken up, and I'm going to do something. Hu Wei hurried over and put Chen Dali back to bed. I was already very happy to hear Chen Dali say 'young marshal' Hu Wei. This proves that Chen Dali is completely sober and is no longer under the control of Li Chenggong.
Chen Dali lay on the bed and said with a smile: "It's hard to find your hands and feet." Even if I hurt again, I'm happy. Young marshal, you don't know how painful it is to have these hands and feet on your body, but you can't control it. β
Chen Dali is not a person who talks a lot, but after so long, the depression that has been suppressed in his heart can finally burst out, even if he says a few more words, it is completely deserved.
"I know, I know......" Seeing Chen Dali's happy appearance. Hu Wei was also happy for him. Looking at it now, this time the decision is completely correct, if it weren't for the slight confidence and betting, Chen Dali would still be lying on the bed, like a living dead. For him, that's the real life is better than death.
"Young Marshal, what's wrong with you?" Chen Dali couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw that Hu Wei's eyes were actually wet. He has been by Hu Wei's side for so many years, but he has never seen Hu Wei cry. And now, is Hu Wei crying? Chen Dali really couldn't believe it.
"No, nothing, I'm happy. Glad. Well, if there's anything you don't feel comfortable with, and if something doesn't feel right, you have to say it right away. Weiwei is here, she will think of something to help you solve it. β
Chen Dali smiled: "I know, this time it's all up to Miss Weiwei." I can be a real person again. Also, thank you, Young Marshal. β
"Xie Weiwei is right, thank me for what. I didn't do anything. Hu said puzzledly.
Chen Dali said seriously: "Thank you for the decision you made for me. In fact, although I can't move, and my consciousness is not so clear, I still have a sense of some things. I feel everything you've done for me. β
"Okay, we are brothers, brothers in life and death, everything should be done, and if we choose you, we will do the same, won't we?"
Chen Dali nodded very affirmatively and said: "Of course, even if it is to go up to the Sword Mountain and go down to the sea of fire, as long as the young marshal gives an order, Chen Dali will definitely obey to the death!"
"Well said, my old Zhu said a long time ago that Chen Dali is definitely a man. Zhu Daneng received the news that Chen Dali had woken up, and hurriedly put down the affairs in his hand and hurried over.
Chen Dali's awakening added a fresh vitality to the depressed air of Cloud City, at least at this moment, Hu Wei's mood was still very good.
Considering that Chen Dali had just woken up, his body had not fully recovered, and he needed more rest, although Hu Wei had a lot of things to say to Chen Dali, he had to leave early.
After Hu Wei left, Chen Dali took a nap for more than two hours and woke up again. For more than a year, he slept far longer than he was awake, he was really afraid of sleeping, and he tried not to sleep if he could, even if he just opened his eyes and did nothing, it was better than sleeping out of time.
"Hey, you're awake, and I told you to eat. When Wei Wei came in, he saw Chen Dali being there in a daze with his eyes open, and said with a smile.
Chen Dali was able to wake up, in fact, the happiest thing was not Hu Wei but Weiwei. Because she finally did one more thing for Hu Wei, and this thing could make Hu Wei happy. As long as Hu Wei is happy, Weiwei will be very happy.
"Miss Weiwei. Weiwei can be said to be Chen Dali's reborn parents, and Chen Dali has great respect for Weiwei.
Weiwei was not used to being called Miss, and said with a slightly red face: "General Chen Dali, you can call me Weiwei." Although we haven't seen each other for long, we have known each other for more than ten years, so you don't need to be so angry with me. β
Chen Dali smiled happily: "Okay, then I'll call you Weiwei, don't call me a general, just call me Chen Dali or Brother Chen." β
"Then I'll call you Brother Chen, Brother Chen, are you hungry, can we have dinner?"
Chen Dali touched his stomach and smiled: "Hearing you say this, I still feel a little hungry, okay, let's eat." β
The current food supply in Cloud City is affected by the overall situation in the Tianfeng Continent, and it is not very optimistic, but Weiwei is a place where special care is received, and the basic food supply is still guaranteed.
"Weiwei, you see I've been asleep for so long. I don't know anything about the current situation in the Tianfeng Continent, can you tell me about the current situation?"
Chen Dali eats very quickly, which is a soldier's habit and cannot be changed. He had slowed down as much as he could, but when he finished eating, Weiwei had only eaten a third of it.
"Of course, there is no problem, but I don't know much about it. β
"It doesn't matter, you can say as much as you know. "Chen Dali has slept for a long time, even if Weiwei doesn't know anymore, he knows a lot more than him. Chen Dali naturally won't let it go.
"Well, okay then. β
Wei knew that Chen Dali was a senior general of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and he was Hu Wei's brother in life and death, so he didn't need to take anything into account when he spoke, but everything he knew and Chen Dali was interested in told Chen Dali to know.
After listening to Weiwei's introduction of the current situation in the Tianfeng Continent, Chen Dali didn't say anything, and very cleverly turned the topic to Weiwei's treatment of him. In the beginning. Chen Dali just asked casually, but at any time the topic deepened, Chen Dali seemed to be more and more interested in this aspect, and kept inquiring about details.
"So to speak. Do you also have a way to deal with the Black Hero?" Chen Dali asked Weiwei.
He frowned slightly and said: "The situation of Heixia is a little different from the situation on you, but the way to control zhΓ¬ should be similar." I think it should be. β
"Hmm. Chen Dali fell into deep thought, he seemed to have forgotten about the slight light around him, and muttered something to himself.
"Brother Chen. Brother Chen?" said a lot of words. didn't hear Chen Dali's response, and couldn't help but push Chen Dali with some worry.
"Oh, is there something wrong?" Chen Dali looked up blankly.
"Are you okay, do you feel anything uncomfortable?" Seeing Chen Dali come back to his senses, he hurriedly asked.
"It's fine. Chen Dali shook his head, thought for a while, and said, "Weiwei, can I ask you a question?"
"What's the problem?" Chen Dali, who was slightly strange, suddenly became stern, when they chatted just now, the atmosphere was always very relaxed.
Chen Dali said: "If you have the opportunity to do the young marshal a big favor, but doing so, it will be very dangerous, and you may even die, will you do it?"
Weiwei thought that Chen Dali was asking her something, but it turned out to be like this, and she replied almost without thinking: "Of course, only Brother Hu Wei needs, no matter what it is, I will definitely do it for him, even if it is death!"
"Okay, I really didn't misread you!" Chen Dali laughed happily.
Slightly puzzled: "Brother Chen, why did you suddenly ask me such a question?"
Chen Dali smiled mysteriously and said, "Because I have a plan, if it can be implemented, then it will be of great help to the young marshal and the entire Tianfeng Continent." β
"Really?" Slightly startled, he hurriedly asked, "What is that like?"
Chen Dali waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't worry, you listen to me tell you slowly." β
Listening to Chen Dali's narration slightly, I gradually understood Chen Dali's plan.
"Well, isn't my plan very good?" Chen Dali said with a little smugness. You know, he has never been known for his strategy, but this time, if it can be successfully executed, then it can almost be said to be a shocking plan to change the whole world.
frowned slightly and said: "Your method is still good, I should be able to cooperate with you here, but without the support of Brother Hu Wei, the two of us would not be able to complete it." β
Chen Dali smiled and said: "You misunderstood, I will sue you first instead of directly suing SΓΉ Young Marshal, not because I want to complete this plan myself, but because I want you to persuade Young Marshal to let us carry out this plan." β
"Shall I go?" pointed to his nose slightly, and looked at Chen Dali in surprise. She has always acted according to the meaning of worry, and has never taken the initiative to put forward opinions, especially on military operations. Chen Dali said that letting her go and tell Hu Wei really scared her.
"Yes, you go and say, I am sure that the young marshal will agree. β
"Young marshal, Li Chenggong's side, if we don't come up with a solution, after a long time, I'm afraid we won't be able to solve it. Zhu Daneng said to Hu Wei with a stern face. Although Chen Dali's awakening brought them a short period of happiness, Li Chenggong's matter was like a big knife hanging over his head, and if he didn't take it down for a day, they wouldn't be able to feel at ease for a day.
Hu Wei said: "Of course I know these things, but what can we do to deal with Li Chenggong now?"
Zhu Daneng gritted his teeth and said: "If it really doesn't work, we will return it to others in the way of others." I don't believe that with our call power, we can't recruit more soldiers than Li Chenggong. β
Hu Wei said excitedly: "So what, even if we don't need to use a method like Li Chenggong, we can still recruit a large number of soldiers, but will the result be any different." The Heavenly Wind Continent could no longer withstand such a war of attrition. The common people are already too bitter, so bitter that they are about to be unable to live, is it possible that we will even take away their last way of life?"
Zhu Daneng frowned and said, "I know that this will be like a river of blood in the Heavenly Wind Continent, but this is the only way we can do it." Although we have to go through some pain, we always have to pass this level. β
Hu Wei shook his head and said, "That being said, I still can't make up my mind like this." Once such a battle is fought, it will not only be protracted, but also the sacrifice will be too great, and in the end, how many people will survive, have you ever thought about it? What power do we have to decide the life and death of the common people? They just want to live, this is not too much, why can't they even do this, ah!"
The more Hu Wei spoke, the more excited he became, and in the end he almost shouted out. During this time, the news I received every day was that Li Chenggong was so proud, the more proud Li Chenggong was, the more unhappy Hu Wei became, this breath couldn't come out, he was always pressed and pressed, and he was about to explode.
Zhu Daneng knew Hu You's suffering, and he didn't want to force Hu Wei like this, but Li Chenggong was now a fast-growing hormone cell, if he didn't get rid of him, he would go from point to piece, bigger and bigger, more and more, until he could no longer control him. At that time, not to mention the people of the Tianfeng Continent, I am afraid that even a bird or an insect here will no longer be able to live, and this place will become a place even more terrifying than hell. Hell is terrible, but at least there are ghosts, and if you can't do it here, even ghosts can't live.
"Report, Miss Weiwei has something important to see. β
The soldier's report interrupted Hu Wei and Zhu Daneng's words, Hu Wei remembered that she had seen Weiwei for a long time just an hour ago, and she came here again at this time, so there would be no change.
Hu said anxiously: "It can't be Chen Dali's accident, hurry, let her in." (To be continued.) )
