Chapter 116: All the People Have a Home, and the Soldiers Who Surrender Without a Fight
"Squeak......
The heavy city gate slowly opened, and the suspension bridge on the city gate was also lowered to welcome the new master of Tongzhou City. Han Han and Furious Zhan combined their respective mounts and stood on both sides of the city gate, Diao Wulong led the 80,000 troops behind him and began to enter the city.
Diao Wulong originally had 40,000 horses, and he incorporated the bandits in Wuyang, and the number reached 60,000. Diao Wulong came all the way, and the soldiers collected the military horses from each state and county along the way, so the number of Diao Wulong's army reached 80,000.
After Diao Wulong led an army of 80,000 people in, the wild horses were driven in by the brothers of Qianli Bole and the horse gang, and then the families of all the generals were protected by some soldiers into the city. The family members are all sitting in the sedan chair, and I can't see it for the time being, but I know that the old lady and the loveless tears must be among these sedan chairs.
"Pull up the drawbridge!" I said to the soldiers at the gates as everyone entered the city.
The city has now changed hands, and the key cities in the west are in my hands. Just now, after I got to the city on Meimei's back, it became quiet. All the soldiers and civilians in the city were shocked by Meimei's appearance, and I tried my best to appease the soldiers and civilians in the city on Meimei's back, so that they could live in peace and not panic. The soldiers and civilians in the city will be suspicious, I know that they still need time, and after a while, I know that they will be jubilant, because the new owner of Tongzhou City will give them a more stable and harmonious home.
Home, the warmest place in the world. Home is the name that everyone misses. Whenever we are tired or sad, the first thing that comes to mind is home, this place can give us shelter from all the ups and downs.
I already have a home of my own, but I can't just take care of my own home, I want to do my best to let all the people in the world have such a home.
......
......
The army entered the city and quickly rushed to the city according to the agreement between Diao Wulong and me in advance.
......
"The defenders of the four major gates of the southeast, north, and west have all been replaced, and our manpower has been arranged, and the defense ,... has begun."
"The barracks have occupied ......"
"The General Staff has occupied ......"
"The palace of the commander and other important generals has been strictly guarded..."
"The resistance defenders everywhere have taken all ......"
"The people of the city were not harassed in any way..."
“......”
“.......”
Diao Wulong and I stood at the head of the city, listening to the reports of the generals from all sides. The Berserk Warrior Group stood next to me, and the generals looked at the tall and abrupt giant birds on the top of the city, the Han Han who shook their heads, the lions shaking their heads, and the wolf king who kept roaring, and their eyes were full of respect.
"The situation in the city has been completely controlled, and all the original defenders in the city have been taken together, what should these defenders do?" Liu Qingyang walked in front of me.
"Good job, hard work General Liu!" Diao Wulong said.
"Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, this is what it should be! What's more, today's battle is too easy, we haven't made any moves at all, so why work hard?"
"General Liu, Wuyang, generals, the time has come for you to show your ambitions!" Liu Qingyang looked at me, I looked at Liu Qingyang, and then at Wuyang and other robbers who were reorganized into the army behind him, and said with a smile.
Wuyang and the bandits have taken up positions in the army, and are now fully armed.
"Xie....I pointed out in Xixian that day, and we have today!" Liu Qingyang replied.
"That's it, thank you, the immortals! We're just saying goodbye to the bandit life......" Wuyang said.
"Generals, I don't like any titles, you can just call me laugh!"
“...... It's an honor to ......," Liu Qingyang took the lead in saying.
Wuyang and the other generals nodded silently.
"All the wild horses have arrived in the barracks, and the wounded brethren are watching!" said Maximelle, dressed in armor and carrying spears, and the brothers behind him were also fully armed. After encountering Diao Wulong, Diao Wulong immediately equipped these brothers with full-body equipment.
"Okay, the horses are all in the hands of the brethren for the time being!" I replied to Maximelle.
"Laughing wildly, what to do with these original troops in the city?" Diao Wulong said.
"Let them all go!
"This..."
"Don't worry, the families of all the troops in the city are in the city, as long as we ensure the normal life of these family members, these soldiers will naturally have no distractions and stay in the army! Not only the army in the city, but also the army outside the city, we will try not to hurt them, we must find a way to persuade them to give up fighting each other!"
"The army outside the city, you mean ......?"
"Right...... They should get the news soon!"
"Are you a soldier who wants to surrender without a fight?"
"Since ancient times, wars have been bloody, I think we should minimize bloodshed, and recover peacefully if we can recover peacefully!"
"Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, if you do this, the people of the world will support you!"
"I'm not trying to win the hearts of the people, I'm trying to win the world for the people!" I replied with a smile.
"That's a good point, then we have to remove these city commanders and the defenders around the important mansions of those generals?"
"Evacuate them all, let them be! Our family members will let them live in the barracks for the time being, and then we will talk about it when we have recovered the 100,000 troops outside the city!"
"Aren't you afraid that the commanders and the families of the generals outside the city will make trouble and deliberately cause trouble?"
"Don't worry, I remembered a story I read in a book, and I'm willing to share it with Lao Diao!"
"Oh?" Diao Wulong stroked his beard, a smile piling up on his vicissitudes of life.
"I just remember a rough idea," I thought about it, and said to Diao Wulong, "it is said that the sun and the wind are competing against each other, and they want to take off a person's clothes, and guess which one will win?"
"This ...... Laughing wildly, you still let the old minister be lazy and tell me the answer directly!"
"The wind began to blow hard, tearing the clothes on this man's body hard, but the more it blew, the colder it became, and the man clung to his clothes, and the wind could not blow off this man's clothes!"
"What about the sun...... What does the sun do?"
"The sun is not as cruel as the wind, it will sprinkle the warm sunlight on this person, constantly warming him, this person under the sun, the body slowly becomes hot, and finally the warmth can not stand it, so he takes off his clothes!"
"So ......"
"Therefore, we should also learn from the sun and use our own warm light to enlighten all beings!"
"You mean doing nothing?"
"Haha Lao Diao, I can do nothing, but you Lao Diao must not do nothing, every Qiqi in this city will still bother you?"
"I know, you don't want to harass the people, we still need to discuss a lot of things!"
"I know what you're worried about... For example, the problem of food and grass for these armies...... For example, the issue of military spending...... And the construction of the city, etc.!"
"Those who know me laugh wildly"
"Otherwise, how can we become friends with each other? You don't always have to work alone, now this is everyone's business, you have to mobilize everyone to help you find a way! As soon as the army outside the city arrives, Luo Zhiyun will soon go down the mountain, break through from outside the city and enter the city, and then you and Luo Zhiyun will preside over all the affairs in the city together!"
"Luo Zhiyun is indeed a general, he will have a lot of ideas, as soon as he enters the city, I will be much easier!"
"All the soldiers here, as well as the people of the people, can help you, you have to remember to be responsible for the whole, don't bow down to everything, and believe in all our soldiers and people, I don't want my old Diao to become ill and not see the day of our final victory......" I smiled at Diao Wulong.
"Okay, I know you're worried about me!"
"Regarding the issue of food and grass for the army, I think we are better off being self-reliant!"
"What do you mean......"
"In and outside the city, there are many mountains and fields in the west, most of the land is barren, we mobilize our soldiers to do it themselves, within three years, our grain and grass will be piled up everywhere, maybe we can also sell it to the common people at a low price, in this way to enrich the official treasury, by the way to solve the problem of army expenditure!"
"We can collect taxes appropriately, of course, the premise of tax collection is that we can expand the roads and provide living conditions for the people in the city, and the people will definitely be willing to pay!"
"Well, we must let the common people receive the maximum benefit, and strive for three years to be exempted from any tax service!"
"I'm sure we will!"
Diao Wulong's words were full of perseverance, and all the generals felt a force in his words.
