Useless people don't deserve to die
Lord Shangshu's heart tightened and looked at Lord Junji helplessly.
He really shouldn't have been in charge of these matters, but no one except them dared to come and see His Majesty.
Your Majesty is now bloody, brutal and capricious. Everyone dares not say these things in front of her, but there are already many people in private who are doubting that Your Majesty is not sure if he was injured in the battle of the imperial tomb.
Your Majesty now especially loves to play. What he likes most is to play with human lives. Who would like to face such a Majesty?
Your Majesty is particularly tolerant of the two of them. If other ministers dared to persuade them like this, they would have been beheaded or killed by sticks. How could they survive until now like them?
I don’t know if they are lucky or something. Anyway, if they don’t say anything, no one will dare to come and ask for a meeting.
Lord Junji hurriedly looked at Meng Shiyue and said, "Your Majesty, what the Secretary of the State is right, not to mention that there is indeed not much military force in the surrounding cities. Qingyue City still has 150,000 troops, but because His Majesty thought that Qingyue City was a treasure land and could be used more in the future, he sent his confidants to focus on the troops in Qingyue City. But other cities are not like this, most cities only have tens of thousands of troops..."
"Actually, tens of thousands are people, tens of thousands here, tens of thousands here, tens of thousands here, wouldn't it be millions?" Meng Shiyue only felt that they were very annoying. If only these two guys hadn't dared to enter the palace to carry out the orders for her, she would have already taken their lives.
The others were all afraid of her and did not dare to enter the palace at all. Her orders must be issued by a minister, and they could not be allowed to be executed by a dead soldier.
If not, could they survive until now?
But she was really impatient now, staring at the two of them and said coldly: "If there is really not enough troops, let the people go out to fight. This is my order. Whoever dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
"Your Majesty!" the two of them called in pain: "Your Majesty, the people are powerless and have no ability to fight. If they leave the city to fight, that is to die."
"Since each one is useless, it's not a pity to die. Keeping it will waste food." Before the two of them were about to speak again, Meng Shiyue suddenly looked dark and said angrily: "I have decided to send my orders to the generals of each city. If you dare not obey, you will give me all the Dharma on the spot. Go quickly!"
Lord Junji and the Minister of the Scholar took this cruel order and left the Zhaixing Hall in disheartened manner. In this way, this time, it was better not to see him or not.
How could Your Majesty become like this? Even if His Majesty in the past was cruel, he would not have reached such a level. His Majesty now is not only cruel, but also ignorant.
If this continues, how many people will die in the whole dream? Is this world really going to be in chaos?
If His Majesty Cang Yun came back to power, she would not have taken human life so carelessly. However, they all enjoyed so many years of glory and wealth under Meng Shiyue's regime. When His Majesty Cang Yun came back, can they still survive?
The traitors will eventually be executed.
In this battle, there may be a glimmer of hope. If you don’t fight, they will definitely be beheaded and displayed in the hands of His Majesty Cang Yun.
Is there no choice?
This is the third day of the army's war.
At night, the barracks were calm and after settling down, the rest of the brothers returned to their respective camps to rest.
After Mu Chu gave the needle to the four seas, he and Chu Xuanchi left the military camp and found a place where no one was left to continue practicing, and still did not come back at midnight.
Now the army is very close to Licheng, and in another day, we will definitely arrive.
After receiving Hu Yanbing's letter of persuasion from surrender, the general of Licheng City has not responded yet. However, what is exciting to everyone is that the city lord of Haicheng next door has sent back good news, and the peace talks have gone very smoothly.
Qiqi actually didn't feel much surprise. She didn't worry too much about going to the battle this time. It should be said that this war has always seemed too scattered until now, and it is simply incomparable to the guard battle she was in Xuanguo.
It is hard to say whether it is really going to fight in the end.
Flirting with the fire and looking at the mechanical watch, it would take almost an hour before the soup was finished. She put the dry firewood branches into the fire, took out a pack of medicinal materials that had been prepared from the bracelet, reached out to uncover the lid of the pot, and poured it carefully.
Recently, she has been making soups of this kind for Chu Xuanchi, which are soups that can relieve muscles and bones and nourish blood. Every time she camps, she will go to the nearby forest to see if there is any wild game. If not, pick one of the rare birds brought by the army and slaughter them. Then she will stew them with her specially prepared famous medicines and stew them into a cup of soup. It is definitely a good thing.
She did it herself when she had time. If she didn't have time, she would ask Jiu Wan to find someone to stew, but Jiu Wan had to watch the heat herself.
Good medicine also needs appropriate heat to stew the best medicine. Chu Xuanchi's body is actually very weak, but the magic skill is supporting him. If she doesn't take it, she is really afraid that it will be too late in the future.
I don’t know how long I stayed in front of the fire, but suddenly, a man walked closer.
Qiqi didn't look up, so he naturally knew who was behind him.
Xiao Yu'er took two steps forward, squatted down beside her, and whispered: "Girl, Fei Ge sent a message from the imperial city. Meng Shiyue's inhumane guy actually issued an order to let the city concentrate all its troops, and even the people didn't let them go, and even let the people take the lead."
"It's so stupid." Qiqi picked up the firewood branches and fiddled with the fire. His originally bright eyes always felt a little dark tonight.
It’s not that Xiao Yu'er didn’t know what she was worried about, but now she had no choice but to continue saying, “Girl, we will be able to arrive in Licheng tomorrow. What should we do if there are really people coming out to fight?”
"How much food and grass are there in the grain warehouse?" Qiqi asked instead of replying.
Xiao Yuer was stunned for a moment, unable to react, and thought for a while before saying, "When we counted it before departure this morning, it was enough for the army to eat for half a month. Girls don't have to worry. The supply of food and grass in the rear is endless, and we will never be short of food."
The seven cities have been comfortable for so many years, and I don’t know how much food is stored. On the contrary, Meng Shiyue has been in civil strife a few years ago.
Meng Shiyue has been busy dealing with people from the three major clans, and has started to build imperial tombs and palaces. In order to capture the seven cities in the future, she issued an order to the Xiatou city. It is better to plant crops as long as everyone can, and they have to focus on building weapons.
Therefore, the weapons in cities and cities are now advanced, but the food situation is not optimistic.
After listening to her analysis, Qiqi nodded, thought about it carefully and said, "Let the people below prepare raw flour and make more steamed buns and buns tonight."
"Do you want your brothers to bring them with you in case of emergency?" Xiao Yu'er asked.
Once a war starts, I’m afraid everyone won’t have so much time and opportunity to gather together to eat, dry food is the most realistic. Does the girl mean that this battle will really start tomorrow?
Qiqi turned her head and smiled, "It's to be distributed to the people in the city."
"girl……"
Xiao Yu'er was puzzled, and Qiqi hurriedly said, "Aren't they going to drive the people out to be pioneers? We don't need to fight. We will have trusted soldiers in Licheng tomorrow to push out the buns and steamed buns and invite everyone to share. We also want to tell them that we entered the city just to overthrow Meng Shiyue's tyranny and never hurt the people. Qicheng and Meng have a close relationship, and few people are really willing to fight this battle."
Xiao Yuer understood that she wanted to win people's hearts again. Maybe in other battles, such tactics may not be applicable, but in this battle, there will definitely be better results than they expected.
Meng Shiyue was cruel and unkind and pushed the people out to die, but their Empress and His Highness loved the people as much as their sons. Not only did they not want to see the scene of blood flowing, but they also had to give them food. It is not to mention which side they should go to.
There is no such great hatred in the two places. What is the need to fight to the death to satisfy the selfishness of a person in power?
"I understand." Xiao Yu'er nodded, stood up, walked back and took a walk, attracting 90,000 to convey Qiqi's meaning and let her order people to prepare.
Then she turned back and looked at Qiqi and said, "Girl, Mr. Ye and Mr. Nan have sent back the news. They will arrive at each other's city gate in about two days. Mr. Ye means that he doesn't want to fight this battle. I ask if the girl can give him three more days?"
"Let him go, he will be outside, and the king will not be able to take any responsibility. Let him decide his own affairs." Qiqi still looked at the fire and said lightly.
After they met Ye Che outside Sangcheng City two days ago, Ye Che took his life and took part in the army from Zichuan Xuanguo to Jincheng, gathered with the city lord of Jincheng, and then sent troops to the other city together.
As for Chu Jiangnan, people were naturally occupied by Ye Che and were also pulled to the Jincheng team.
Chu Dingbei and Meng Yinian were quite familiar with Mingcheng, and this time they led the army to join the army of Mingcheng and headed to Mengdu together.
Nowadays, there are many of the army in the seven cities, their Xuanguo army exists. It’s not that Qiqi doesn’t trust them, but that he is just guarding against others.
What's more, if the brothers can be integrated together, it will also have absolute benefits for the future regaining Mengdu, reorganizing their homes, and allocating the forces of each city.
Although the lord of the Seven Cities is quite loyal to Meng Cangyun, no matter how deep his loyalty is, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will forget his righteousness when facing interests.
