Chapter 968 What I love most is the country

Many people thought that the king was very cowardly, but now they saw clearly that when his country was threatened, no one would act cowardly. In order to protect his country, anyone would do anything. Including mass murder.

For the entire Nanzhao Kingdom, no matter who comes to power as a result of this turmoil, the losses to the entire country are here, and it must be a large number. Whether it is property or human life, this country will be greatly affected. It takes a long time to recover.

But for Qian Ping and Datang who are watching coldly from the side, it is best for the scale of your turmoil to be a little bigger. When the blood of both of you is flowing into the river, then it is time for us to clean up the mess. If your entire country is at peace and the lives of the people are slowly developing, then what method will we use to take over this place?

If you use war to take over this place, your people will definitely hate us. The two sides will be in a state of hostility for a long time, and even our soldiers will lose their lives for no reason. Then our losses will be real. It's too big, and the cost of taking over here is too high.

But if there is internal fighting between you, many things will be different. When the people are disgusted with this state and this state of war, we people in the Tang Dynasty will come here like saviors to end this state of war. Restore your original peaceful life, and the people will be grateful to the entire Tang Dynasty.

Qian Ping didn't think that far at first, but now when he saw the confrontation up and down the city wall, he immediately thought of Li Xiang's idea. Fortunately, we are all from the Tang Dynasty. Fortunately, we are all on Li Xiang's side. If we stand on the opposite side of Li Xiang, or if we are people from these countries around Datang, then we really don’t know how we will live this day.

It took nearly four hours for King Zhennan's army to finally encircle the entire city. Moreover, King Zhennan's army was still marching towards the royal city continuously on the surrounding official roads. Now the entire city has been surrounded. Dead.

His Royal Highness the King has been staying on the city wall, and his generals are also urging the soldiers to guard the city well. There are also a large number of young and middle-aged people pressed under the city wall. None of these people want to go to the battlefield, but the steel of the soldiers in the city Forced by the sword, they could only bid farewell to their parents, wives and children, and gather together under the city wall.

After a night of turmoil, the entire city was in a state of war. Even the most ignorant children could feel the tension in the air, because their father and brother were taken away early in the morning, and He was taken away arbitrarily, and the whole house was in a mess.

The imperial court has promulgated the latest law. All households can only keep three days of food rations. The remaining food must be handed over to the nearby government. If someone does not go and hand it over, then wait for the army to come. Search, the result of the army's search is that no food will be left for you. The most important thing now is to ensure military food. As for what your family eats, that is your own business.

There were cries everywhere on the streets, but these soldiers didn't even look at them. They usually lived too many peaceful days, and suddenly the transition from the peace era to the war era was unacceptable to many people, but the Nanzhao court They don't have time to think about these people. What they have to consider now is how to deal with the army outside the city.

"Let these people be quiet."

Listening to the chaotic sounds under the city wall, King Nanzhao also felt upset. When he said these words, the eunuch next to him made a gesture below, and the soldiers below immediately began to take action.

The people gathered were all young and middle-aged men. They didn’t want to fight at all, and they didn’t know what was going on outside the city, so it was a mess below. When they saw the eunuch next to the king giving the order, these soldiers immediately pulled out their waists. I whipped these young and middle-aged people hard with my whip, making sure to make these people quiet down.

Not to mention that this method is indeed effective. Although there are screams after being beaten, these young adults can also see that if you shut your mouth, you will only get a whip at most, but if you continue to scream If you do, you will most likely be beaten to death.

But their good days were over. Many people were pulled up directly by the soldiers next to them, and then they were asked to go to the top of the city wall along the stairs next to them. Everyone knew that it was still safe under the city wall, but if they grew up... If the above is true, then your life can only be left to God.

"Stand still for me. You guys are just forming a group. If the general gives the order later, throw this stone down for me. I don't need to leave some things to you. If you want to go down, It’s impossible. Have you seen those soldiers next to you? Their knives are very sharp. When the war breaks out later, if you run down, run down and kill each one."

The soldiers said fiercely, these soldiers felt very comfortable in their hearts. The young and middle-aged men who were sent here also included some children from rich families. They usually looked down upon these soldiers at all, but now they are scolding you at this moment.

There are still enough soldiers on the city wall, but in order to preserve the strength, His Highness the King must remove 3,000 strong men and come up. There will definitely be casualties later. These 3,000 strong men are the first batch. They are just inside the city. They are just ordinary people in their prime. It doesn't matter how many people die. Those real soldiers must be retained. Even if they are on the growth path, the palace can still withstand another wave when they return, so these soldiers are the most important resources.

Looking at the stones and rolling logs next to them, these young men were about to cry. Who would have done such a thing in normal times? But looking at the swords and whips of the soldiers next to them, they also knew that if If you don't work, these soldiers won't talk nonsense to you, and they might stab you when they come up.

When they were down there, they would use whips to talk to you. They thought that was the most miserable life, but now the soldiers on the city wall would only talk to you with knives. If you don't do one thing well, you might lose your life. Don't I thought this was a joke, a few people had been hacked just now...
