Yibin City, as the capital of Xuzhou City, is not as prosperous as CD City, but it is not much worse. It's just that now it has experienced an earthquake and a big flood, which makes it look a little dilapidated and depressed. The tall city walls are still there, and the city gates have been closed according to the orders of the generals defending the city, but no matter how tightly defended they are, they are still inseparable from people. The soldiers on the city wall were demoralized, and the people in the city were also confused and looked indifferent.

The sun is overwhelming, and there are about seven or eight thousand White Lotus Sect cultists outside Yibin City, and the soldiers and generals in Yibin City are only more than three thousand people together, how can this not make them despair,

The city was broken only overnight, although the other party had not yet attacked the city, but this was just because the process had not yet been completed.

Process, right. The two armies have the rules of fighting first, attacking the city, but also let the two sides take the lead and shout, probably you surrender quickly, otherwise you will die, and the other side replied a few words Don't be delusional, we will stick to the end, and so on. These are all in order to break the morale of the other side first. Although the victory of the White Lotus Sect was decided, they still had to shout, in order to say what they needed people to know.

In the open space between the city gate and the White Lotus Sect, Wang Siliu rode a tall horse, dressed in plain linen, and carried a spear in his hand, full of spirit. Although he didn't know how to use a gun, even though he was helped up by someone else to ride a horse, and although he knew that he was just a puppet, he was still red with excitement. The puppet emperor is also the emperor.

"Listen to the officers and soldiers in the city," Wang Siliu danced the spear in his hand twice and shouted loudly: "The fire of heaven falls, the nine dragons come out, killing the world without the surname Zhu, and the heavens have sent warnings one after another, the meaning is already obvious! I am Wang Siliu, the general of the White Lotus Sect's Mandate of Heaven! Today, the people of Xuzhou have suffered great disasters one after another, and the imperial court does not think of rescue, but instead of requisitioning and expropriating violently, the people have been trapped in fire and water, and the Mandate of Heaven has been lost. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Siliu raised the spear in his hand: "Today, my White Lotus Holy Sect, obeying the mandate of heaven, carrying heavenly soldiers and generals, is for... ”

Wang Siliu's voice was very loud, and his tone was subdued and frustrated, and he seemed impassioned. The people of the city could hear it clearly if they were near the gate.

It's all vernacular, and they understand it, but they don't care. What is the Mandate of Heaven? Whoever can feed them is the Mandate of Heaven, and what does the rest have to do with them?

Li Tie, the general of the defenders of the city, was covered in armor, lying on the wall and looking at Wang Siliu below helplessly, he couldn't hold this Yibin City, he knew very well that in his heart he wanted to open the door directly and surrender, but now is not the time. The night before yesterday, he received a secret order from the King of Shu, which said that he could surrender, but he had to say a few words at a critical time。。。。。。

"Fathers and villagers in the city," Wang Siliu finally said to the point: "This time, our White Lotus Sect has started an incident, in order to save you from the sea of suffering, we have prepared enough food, as long as 。。。。。 ”

At this moment, in the city, Li Tie was angry and shouted: "Enough!" The voice overshadowed Wang Siliu and made him stunned.

Li Tie asked loudly: "You say that there is enough food, this is true!"

"Of course it's true. Wang Siliu replied categorically: "We have a lot of food, in order to save the people from the sea of suffering... ”

"Sure enough, it's you!" Wang Siliu wanted to blow a few more words, and Li Tie's voice above sounded again.

I saw Li Tieyi shouting in righteous words: "It's not that the imperial court didn't have rescue, but that the grain was robbed by you! Thousands of truckloads of grain were robbed by you on the way to it!"

As Li Tie spoke, he turned around and faced the people in the city who had gradually gathered at the city gate because of Wang Siliu's words: "Fathers and fellow villagers, the imperial court remembers you, and the emperor has not given up on you, but the rescue of his old man was destroyed by the White Lotus Sect cultists outside. Millions of quintals of grain, divided, even if we let go of eating, it will be enough to eat until next autumn's harvest. But now it's all in the hands of the White Lotus Sect outside the city!"

Speaking of this, Li Tie raised his hand and wiped his eyes with the ginger in his hand without a trace, and suddenly burst into tears, coupled with the natural broken gong voice, it was extremely infectious: "I can't protect the people, it's my Li Tie's incompetence, however, the follow-up rescue of the imperial court will not arrive in a short time, in order for you to have something to eat and live, I, Li Tie, am willing to sacrifice the city, I only ask them to fulfill their promise and keep you alive!"

After Li Tie finished speaking, he turned to look at Wang Siliu under the city: "Can you fulfill your promise and distribute food to the people!"

The sound echoed in everyone's ears, and the originally noisy scene was quiet.

In the army, Tang Sai'er's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.

"It's broken. Sikong Xuan said secretly, his brain was fast, and he was the first to react. Zhu Chun's calculations turned out to be here! He personally robbed the grain, and he knew the most in his heart. Not to mention thousands of carts, millions of quintals, all added up are only one or two hundred carts of grain. And what the other party said is too outrageous, there are still millions of loads of grain, and there is no such amount of grain collected by the imperial court in a year. But now there is no way to stand up and confront it. After all, when the grain was transported last night, there were more than one or two people who saw it, and these uneducated croppers didn't know whether they had robbed millions or hundreds, and they hadn't counted them.

Oh no, the surrounding White Lotus Sect leaders also understood one after another, and cold sweat broke out slightly on their heads.

"Uh... Wang Siliu on the horse was a little stunned, there was no such paragraph in the words that Zhao Niangzi asked him to recite before.

Subconsciously looking back at the people behind him, Wang Siliu replied stubbornly: "As long as you open the city gate and surrender, I promise to give everyone food and be full." ”

I have to say that Wang Siliu is still a little shrewd, he didn't mention the distribution of food, but only said that he was full.

"Okay! That's what you said!" Li Tie shouted loudly when he heard this, and then commanded loudly: "Brothers, open the city gate, we have descended!"

Whether it was the White Lotus Sect, or the soldiers in the city, or the people in the city, they were still a little suspicious that what Li Tie said was just a joke, but they didn't expect it to be true!

Squeak~

After a burst of wooden wedge mechanism, the gate of Yibin City slowly opened.

Yibin City officially opened the door for the White Lotus Sect, what secret whistles, what engineering equipment, all of them were useless, and Bai was prepared.

"General Xie Li" The people in the city fell to their knees one after another. The poor language made it impossible for them to say what to thank Li Tie, but they knew that they could live.

Li Tie's face was flushed, and he was very ashamed, but fortunately, he was born dark, and others couldn't see it.

"This... The corners of Wang Siliu's mouth twitched a few times, and then he could only give an order helplessly: "Enter the city!"

Riding a horse, he walked to the city gate first.

The prince is really clever. Li Tie hugged his shoulders on the city wall, squinted, and watched quietly, "Tens of thousands of people are grateful to me, and the three thousand brothers under him are intact, even if you want to kill me, you can't kill me."

In one morning, Yibin fell, and seven days later, the entire 16 counties of Xuzhou Prefecture fell under the control of the White Lotus Sect, without spending a single soldier, but every county almost said Li Tie's words before opening the door, and the wording may be different, but the general meaning is still the same.

It's not that the White Lotus Sect hasn't thought of a way to deal with it, but it's useless. If you dare to deny it, then the 3,000 defenders and 2,000 young men in Yibin City will turn against you on the spot. And so...

For a time, the entire Xuzhou Mansion spread all over the country: the White Lotus Sect had food and was full. The amount of grain has also changed from a few million quintals at the beginning to tens of thousands of quintals.

"Haha, the people of our Xuzhou are really cute. In the study of the Shu Palace, Zhu Chun put down the report in his hand, laughed loudly, and then looked at He Bin, who was sitting opposite: "Does Lord He understand?"

He Bin smiled bitterly: "I understand the lowly position, but the prince, can you explain it to the lowly position next time, I heard that the grain was robbed before, and I am lowly ... ”

"Eh~" Zhu Chun waved his hand and smiled: "If you say it, it won't work." ”

'I was really scared crazy before!' He Bin was helpless, and a smile appeared on his face: "Then what should we do next?" ”

Next, Zhu Chun thought for a while and said, "Next, I will ask Lord He to listen to a new piece composed by this king."

"Ho Qu?"

"It's hard to ride a tiger!"
