Zhao Xing did not raise his identity high because Loudi had already joined Zhao State, but as agreed with Zhao Yong, he raised his identity high above. He still held Loudi's hand and said a good and Anda's name.

On the contrary, Loudi believed that he was already a subordinate of Zhao Xing, a native of the Central Plains, a civilized person, but he became confined and cautious, and always worked the half-baked Central Plains etiquette from time to time, which eventually made Zhao Xing furious: "If you are so inexplicably polite, I won't be with you."

These words were very childish, but they made Loudi feel more happy and close, so the two became even closer.

The day of the war was coming, and a simple ceremony was held, so Zhao Xing was about to set off.

As a result, Loudi asked with confusion: "Are you leaving now?"

Zhao Xing looked at the sky and said, "If we don't leave, we can only leave after lunch."

Loudi asked with hope in his eyes: "As a living god, shouldn't you do something to my soldiers, that is, your soldiers?"

Xu Jie stepped forward and quietly suggested: "Lou Fanren regards the Lord as God. If you don't show it, how can you calm their hearts and boost morale? Come and perform a set for them to see."

Looking at the 50,000 soldiers of the Loufan tribe of Zhao State who were ordered to go to war but did not move, and were full of hope, Zhao Xing gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's perform."

So, Zhao Xing stood on the altar and performed a juggling of objects from a distance, spitting fire, and adding a banner to show blood. No, it was a miracle. This made the morale of the Loufan tribe conflict, and they jumped off their horses and knelt on the ground, worshiping them. Zhao Xing's family armed forces were stunned and obsessed with applause.

But what really made all the soldiers following the war burst into full force were these announcements.

"My soldiers of the Great Zhao Loufan tribe, this time, you respond to my conscript and fight for the country. I promise you that you will have a generous monthly payment of military pay, like my original soldiers."

"Wow, military pay, you're paying for war. In the eyes of Loudi people, this is simply unreasonable, because their ancestors have never received any money when they fought for wars for generations."

"I declare that you fight for me and for the gods. Because of the wound, I will give you pensions, so that your family will be free from food and clothing within five years. When you die in battle, your remains will be transported back to your hometown, and then you will receive a pension that will make your family live a worry-free life for ten years, and you will also receive my blessings, and will guide your souls to ascend directly to heaven and gain eternal life in heaven."

Originally, when they died, they would die, and if they were thrown into a ditch, no one would care about their family. But this time they could get pensions, and the most important thing was that they would receive blessings and guidance from gods after they died. What a great honor that was. Therefore, all the soldiers made up their minds together: "This time, we must fight to the death."

As a result, Zhao Xing's promise caused a huge consequence, that was, the estimated 20,000 casualties were eventually more than half. He saw that a warrior who was only slightly injured was eventually killed in battle.

Is it stupid? No, it is the power of faith.

Zhao Xing led an army of 90,000 to Daoma Pass. The guards went out to greet him in person. After meeting the Lord, he welcomed the army into the city of Guan.

Zhao Xing first checked the food, grass and soybeans stored in advance, and the guard general reported with confidence: "There are millions of hu of grain and beans needed for war horses here, which is enough for the army to take a year, and other reserve weapons are enough for soldiers to lose two years. Please rest assured."

Zhao Xing and others had nothing to do with this reserve, but they made Loudi and their 1000-year-old leader drop their chins in surprise, because they had never seen so many supplies, or they had never heard of so many supplies. They had always gone out on a hungry battle, and then robbed whatever they saw along the way, and ate whatever they saw. That was to eat when they got it, and if they couldn't, they would rob themselves. Therefore, nomadic peoples have always entered the Central Plains to fight, and when they were unable to carry cattle and sheep, they fought to death in the Jedi death battle when they were half hungry and half full. This is also the reason why nomadic peoples fought to the Central Plains, which would bring huge disaster to the Central Plains. Why would nomadic people fight to the death if they didn't fight to the death, they would starve to death.

Zhao Xing held Haoanda's shoulder and explained to the shocked Loudi: "This time, we are not conquering a country. After the battle, they are willing to surrender and take out the expedition to go back. Instead, we want to destroy Zhongshan, integrate Zhongshan into our Zhao State, and become part of our Zhao State. Therefore, we can no longer destroy Zhongshan. In that case, it is equivalent to looting our own, and it will arouse the fierce resistance of the people against us. This time, we are robbing their land, but we must conquer people with virtue and rob their hearts. This is the key."

"Anda means, are we going to be the king's army?" Loudi asked in a daze.

"Wrong, we are not going to be the king's army, we are the king's army now."

Loudi nodded happily: "Yes, yes, we Loufan soldiers are already the king's army, I am so proud of this."

"Yes, you are already a Zhou native, a king's army, so we should not plunder and disturb the people anymore, but conquer people with virtue. We cannot trample crops, we cannot plunder the villages anymore, and everything we have will be based on loving the people. Although they are now from Zhongshan, as long as our horses pass by, they will be the land of Zhao State, and they will be from Zhao State."

The army was stationed here for a night, doing the last rest before the war, and then the troops left the pass and entered Zhongshan Kingdom.

This time, unlike last time, there was no resistance from the Zhongshan people along the way. In the mature wheat fields on both sides of the road, there were groups of people holding weapons and staring at the army with covetous eyes, protecting their crops. But as long as Zhao Xing's team did not trample on their crops, they would just watch the army whizzing by, with some vigilance in their eyes but no anger. There was only their wheat in their eyes, but no enemies.

The army arrived outside the Zhongshan Great Wall again, and the beacon was still ignited, but there were no guards when they were closed, and only a crumbling Zhongshan flag was flying alone.

The army was approaching, and the door was closed and the door was opened. A literati in a broad-clad fashion, walked out of the city gate with a dozen ragged veterans.

The current scholar walked to the prefecture, Zhao Xing gave a deep courtesy, and requested with the most standard etiquette: "The officials, the guards of the city of Guancheng, lead the officials and civilians in the pass to surrender to the royal army, please treat the surrendered military and civilians in the pass with a kind heart." Then he presented the garrison seal and the account book of the military and civilian treasury in the pass.

Zhao Xing jumped off his war horse, suppressed his curiosity, and according to Zhou Li, he took the seal account book, turned around and handed it to Xu Jie, and then said warmly, "Sir, I am very wise, I will write to my Lord, please reward your love for the people."

The literati official said proudly: "The saint said that even though he knew that he could not do anything, he was not a gentleman's way. Only by knowing the current affairs are the heroes. When I face the 100,000 tigers and wolves of the Zhao family, why should I in vain increase the casualties of the people and soldiers? I saw that the Zhao army was not offending all the way, and it was a real king's army. So why should I resist?"

Zhao She and Loudi were stunned by these words. They really didn't expect that a tough Zhongshan official would become so polite.

Loudi Qiqi Ai Ai whispered: "Can the war go on like this?"

Zhao Xing nodded, "Of course, this can't be done, but Zhongshan can, because Zhongshan is a truly pure Confucian country, of course it's like this."

When the army entered the pass, they saw the people standing docilely on the street, each dressed neatly and rosy in their faces, which was in sharp contrast to the ragged few soldiers who also welcomed.

Zhao Xing asked puzzledly: "Why are the people so rich, but the soldiers are so embarrassed? Are these soldiers not militias who were recruited? Are their families not rich?"

The scribe explained with a smile, "The people are educated by the people, they work hard and do their best to farm. Since we can obtain iron farm tools in Dai County and are supervised by the people, they produce more. In recent years, the food prices in Dai County in Zhao State have risen high, so the people will pass their own food through merchants." Then he pointed to his nose and continued proudly: "For example, my family shop was sold to two places above, so the people can get more money, so they are very rich."

"The people are rich and the people are stable, who is willing to join the war?" The scribe continued to report to Zhao Xing: "So, according to the rules, if the country is guarding the borders one after another, there will be no response to the people's resignation."

Of course, Zhao Xing understood the truth.

"Then, the king can only extend the garrison period of these original soldiers. During this period, the families of these garrison soldiers believed that these garrison soldiers were all for the country and should be supported by the king like the Dai County Zhao State, so their families were unwilling to give it to them. The king also believed that the soldiers should search for rats and birds to repay the king's kindness, thinking that the country was loyal and unwilling to take it, and that was the case in the end."

When Zhao Xing saw the garrison standing on the side of the road, when he heard the former official explaining this, the soldiers looked angry and looked at the former guard who was full of energy. He knew the inside story of the period at that time.
