After a day and night of continuous attacks, the bloody spirit of the Lou Fan people was probably worn away.
No matter how angry you are, no matter how strong your fighting spirit is, no matter how fierce your fearlessness is, they will gradually cool down after seeing the corpses on the ground.
The friends who were chatting together on the roadside yesterday were turned into cold corpses on the ground today. Everything seemed unreal.
This feeling does not appear when the blood is rising, but when they realize that they cannot break the wall and want to retreat, it will become more intense.
"The war cannot be fought like this."
A staff member said in a serious tone: "The army was so powerful before. If we don't fight, it will damage the dignity of the coach. Fighting is actually a passive move because the beauty has taken away the momentum."
There is nothing wrong with what I said.
That hatred and fighting spirit are all controlled by the enemy. All the power has been taken away by the enemy.
“The next step is to focus on stability.”
The aide continued: "We have strong troops and our morale has not really dropped low, so we must be fully prepared now and build more siege vehicles to suppress the archers on the city wall..."
Speaking of this, he looked at Zong Zhengxian: "Lou Fan's army has never been good at siege techniques. When your Majesty was there, he had people build the heavy tools needed to siege the city, but he never got it right."
Zong Zhengxian frowned and said: "What are you talking about? It has no meaning in today's battle. If you have a strategy to defeat the enemy, go ahead. If you just express some emotion, shut up."
The staff member was silent for a moment and then said: "Yunzhou City is well-defended and well-equipped. The enemy's morale is not lower than ours. Without heavy weapons, it is difficult to break through with only trucks and trucks. The only way at present is to spare human lives... ....”
He looked at Zong Zhengxian: "No matter human life, build a ramp with sandbags, stones, wood, corpses..."
Having said this, many people were shocked.
How reckless is this?
If this strategy is used, tens of thousands of soldiers will be sent up to pile up earth bags every day. If ten people die, there may not be two bodies left on the slope.
If you want to build a ramp that extends to the height of the city wall, at least tens of thousands of people will die, maybe even more, too many to accept.
"Use slaves, use civilian husbands."
When the staff member said this, his tone was obviously calm, but everyone present felt a bit ferocious when they heard it.
"Are you arresting people in Dongbo?"
Someone asked tentatively.
Zong Zhengxian shook his head: "Dongbo has strong walls and clear fields, and people are huddled in the big city. If we want to capture Dongbo people to pave the way, we still need to attack the city..."
Another person said: "Use slaves first, and then divide your troops to attack the surrounding counties and small cities. It is much easier to fight than Yunzhou. As long as one city is broken, there will be at least 10,000 people available. By then, the old, weak, women and children will be available. And drive them forward, if they kill all the beauties, they will also be hated by the Dongbo people."
Zongzheng Xianhe thought for a while and then said: "Is Zongzheng Lianhai okay? His vanguard army is idle. Let him lead the troops to attack Dongbo Town."
Everyone looked at each other, but no one answered.
Although Zongzheng Lianhai is an inconspicuous prince, he is still a prince anyway. How can they, as ministers, answer random questions? After all, the clan elders are also here.
When no one responded, Zongzheng Xianhe didn't care so much. He was the coach and there was no need to wait for others to make decisions.
"Send someone to send an order to Zongzheng Lianhai and ask him to lead troops to attack nearby counties. If he can't get up, let his subordinate Wu Kemaduo attack."
The men immediately agreed and ran out to deliver the order.
At this time, in the vanguard camp, Wu Kemado was convening his generals to discuss matters.
In order to keep it secret, not many people in the vanguard army knew that Zongzheng Lianhai had rushed back to the capital.
"Mr. Ye is accompanying His Highness. He said a few days ago that we will not have long time to rest. Once the siege of the city is frustrated, Zong Zhenghe will definitely send people to either let us attack the city or let us attack. The nearby states and counties captured the people of Dongbo and drove them to prepare a ramp to attack the city..."
Speaking of this, Wu Kemaduo glanced at everyone.
A general said: "I think this was done well. They let us out. Do you still expect us to come back immediately? Going out to attack Dongbo County is much better than attacking Yunzhou."
Another person said: "What the hell, if you ask me, just find a place to hide and let him sleep for a few more days!"
Everyone immediately laughed.
Wu Kemado said: "I think so. If we are asked to attack Yunzhou, I will find an excuse to stall. If we are asked to attack Dongbo County, then I will agree immediately."
At this moment, the messenger arrived. After entering the door, he said loudly: "Is His Royal Highness here? The commander-in-chief has military orders!"
Wu Kemaduo stood up and said: "If you have military orders, please give me. Your Highness is seriously ill and needs to rest."
The messenger said: "The commander-in-chief ordered your troops to attack nearby counties and recruit all the people in Dongbo to come to the camp to wait for dispatch!"
Wu Kemado stepped forward to take the order flag: "Wu Kemado takes the order!"
When he said this, Wu Kemado had only one thought in his mind.
Mr. Ye is such a great person!
Before Mr. Ye left, he said that he expected that Zong Zheng would most likely send the vanguard army to capture the surrounding Dongbo people.
As long as a military order arrives, Wu Kemado will immediately lead his troops to the north, walk all the way without looking back, bypass Caoshu City, and rush back to Loufan as quickly as possible.
Let these princes fight in Yunzhou and rush back to help Zongzheng Lianhai seize the throne.
After taking over the command flag, Wu Kemado loudly ordered: "Immediately send the order to each camp and set off early tomorrow morning. You are not allowed to ask where you are going. Just listen to my general order and act."
"yes!"
The generals of each battalion responded and left the tent.
Seeing everyone leaving, Wu Kemado let out a heavy breath. After a moment, he lifted his robe and knelt down, kowtowing several times in the direction of Yunzhou City.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to save you, it's just that I am really powerless. Now, the only person who still wants to save your Majesty is His Highness Lianhai. Besides me, I am guilty of death. Now I can only help His Highness Lianhai fight for the throne. , and then find a way to save His Majesty..."
He kowtowed as he spoke, and soon there was blood on his forehead.
Wu Kemado recognized Ye Wuyou's words from the beginning. Ye Wuyou said that the only way to save Zong Zheng Shiquan was to seek peace, not war.
But asking for peace will hurt people's hearts.
Therefore, a more reasonable way is to let Zong Zheng Xian He and his friends lead the troops to fight. If they win, it doesn't matter. The throne has been quietly taken away by Zong Zheng Lianhai, and by the time Zong Zheng Xian He returns to the army, there will be no way back.
If they lose, they can then sue for peace and exchange money and food for Zongzheng Shiquan, and the people can accept it. After all, a million-strong army went south and didn't win.
Counting the days, Zongzheng Lianhai should have traveled hundreds of miles, and Yunzhou didn't know how many more days of fighting there would be. His Highness would have enough opportunities to inherit the throne in the capital.
Mr. Ye is a true god!
He had to sigh again.
Mr. Ye said that Lin Ye was the best at using people's hearts, and he would definitely use Zong Zheng Shiquan to stimulate the hatred of General Lou Fan.
When the time comes, Lou Fan's army will attack the city due to exhaustion from far away. In all likelihood, it will accomplish nothing and will lose troops and generals.
At this time, even if Zongzheng Xianhe wanted to take the opportunity to depose Zongzheng Lianhai, he would not mobilize the vanguard army to attack Yunzhou.
Because the Pioneer Army is useless.
There are only 5,000 soldiers who are good at fighting, and the rest are recruited civilian warriors who are not good at fighting at all.
It has been defeated for a while, and if the vanguard army is allowed to go up and embarrass themselves, and lose more troops and generals, the morale of Lou Fan's army will inevitably be even lower.
Therefore, Mr. Ye made up his mind that the prominent Zongzheng would allow Wu Kemado to lead his army to plunder the people of Dongbo.
Every step is within Mr. Ye's calculation.
Wu Kemaduo couldn't help but sigh, if someone like Mr. Ye was not from Dongbo, but came from a Loufan noble family, he might really become the Loufan Prime Minister.
With such a talented person in charge of the government, Lou Fan will definitely become stronger and stronger.
Fortunately, His Highness Lianhai also has great respect for Mr. Ye. As long as His Highness Lianhai becomes emperor, Mr. Ye will be the prime minister.
By then, Lou Fan will be truly powerful and will no longer be controlled by the major tribes.
In fact, they all knew what kind of disease Lou Fan had, but even Zong Zhengshi didn't have the courage to attack the major tribes.
Mr. Ye also said that if Lou Fan's army failed in the southern expedition, it would seem that the country's strength would be greatly weakened, and it might even cede territory for peace, but it would be a big change that would be beneficial to Lou Fan.
Because if they were really defeated, the major tribes would also suffer heavy losses and would be unable to fight against the Loufan court.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the imperial court made drastic reforms, just like the Jade Kingdom, to eliminate stubborn diseases.
Mr. Ye said that it only takes three to five years to endure the beauty's arrogance and constantly compromise. If the beauty wants to cede land, she will cede the land, and if she wants compensation, she will pay compensation. After three to five years, all this humiliation will be returned to the beauty.
In Loufan today, having a great talent like Mr. Ye emerge is a great blessing among Loufan's great misfortunes.
Thinking of this, Wu Kemado no longer had any worries. After getting up, he wiped the blood from his forehead and ordered his soldiers to pack everything out as quickly as possible. They must leave tomorrow morning to avoid a long night and many dreams.
Wu Kemado was most happy that Mr. Ye's unparalleled talent came from his side and His Highness Lianhai's side.
It seems that His Highness Lian Hai is indeed not that powerful, but he is much stronger than Zong Zheng Xianhe and others.
Zong Zheng Xian He was arrogant and headstrong, and he looked down on the untouchables of Dongbo. Therefore, even if Mr. Ye went to seek refuge, Zong Zheng Xian He would not reuse him.
It is impossible to say that Mr. Ye might have been killed because he offended Zong Zhengxian. That would be Lou Fan's misfortune.
Early the next morning, all the 30,000 vanguard troops set off and ran away with the speed of a grass bandit descending from the mountain to snatch the bride.
The soldiers didn't know what to do, they just knew they had to follow orders and go all the way north.
They are also happy because they don't have to attack Yunzhou, which means that at least they can live for a while longer.
The news was reported back to the coach's camp. After hearing this, Zong Zhengxian nodded and said: "I don't think Lianhai dares to disobey military orders, and I don't think Wu Kemado will shirk it... It seems that they Still very obedient.”
Everyone present nodded their heads one after another and praised Zongzheng for being a god in managing things and employing people like a god.
According to this, hundreds of miles away, dozens of capable knights escorted Zongzheng Lianhai and Ye Wuyou northward, riding horses for many days in a row. Ye Wuyou looked more tired and weaker.
Regardless of Ye Wuyou's obstruction, Zongzheng Lianhai ordered a carriage to be found for Ye Wuyou to ride on.
Ye Wuyou said that the most important thing at this time was to hurry. A carriage was not as fast as riding a horse. He would not agree to anything. Zongzheng Lianhai ordered his men to carry Mr. Ye into the carriage.
About five miles away from this team, on a high slope, a team of more capable knights was waiting here.
The leader looked quite thin, wearing a very large robe and a black scarf on his face, only revealing a pair of worried eyes.
After a while, he saw Zongzheng Lianhai's team walking away. After waving his hand, the team followed quietly.
In the carriage.
Ye Wuyou took a sip of warm water, and the pain in his heart was slightly relieved. He gave a pill with warm water, and he closed his eyes and rested for a while.
Zongzheng Lianhai came up from the car and asked softly: "Is everything okay, sir?"
Ye Wuyou smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I am an outer disciple of Mr. Sword God Ju, but I don't know much about the art of cultivation... General Wu Kemado was right before, I just spent money to buy it It’s just a false name.”
Zongzheng Lianhai said: "Sir, don't listen to that reckless man's nonsense. Your talent is beyond compare to any number of sword gods."
Ye Wuyou said with emotion: "Your Highness, don't worry. Your Highness will treat me with sincerity. No matter what I say, the throne will not fall into their hands."
Zongzheng Lianhai cupped his fists and bowed: "Thank you sir!"
