Zhao Shan didn't panic when he heard Zhao Rui's words.
On the way south to Xiangyang, he had already made a plan with Fang Weihu to attack Xiangyang.
Therefore, Zhao Shan had already made plans.
Zhao Shan looked calm and shouted calmly: "Zhao Rui, as a vassal king of the Chu king line, you have guarded Xiangyang for generations, but you have treated the people harshly, causing hardship to the people in Jingzhou. You are not worthy to be the king of Chu. "
Zhao Rui didn't care about the people's affairs at all.
Just a bunch of untouchables!
If you are a miserable untouchable, you can continue to live your life. If the feudal king suffers a lot, he will not be able to survive this life.
Seeing that Zhao Shan was defeated, Zhao Rui was very happy and said sarcastically: "Zhao Shan, I told you about the defense of Xiangyang and that you couldn't break the city of Xiangyang. But you said that the people are in difficulty? Could it be that you are afraid and don't have the strength? Is it because we conquered Xiangyang that we avoided talking about it?"
Zhao Shan sighed and said helplessly: "Zhao Rui, Zhao Rui, you disappoint me so much."
"As a clan member of the vassal king of Daqian, you despise the emperor and have no regard for the king's laws. You can be called a disloyal minister. You are the vassal king who guards a place, and your responsibility is to protect the country and the people, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment."
"However, not only did you not help the people, but you supported bandits and plundered the people. You also arranged for countless officials to go to the countryside and collect exorbitant taxes, which resulted in the death of countless people's families and their wives. It can be called cruel and cruel."
"How can you, a person with no loyalty and benevolence like you, bark in front of me?"
"It's a joke to say that I don't have the strength to attack Xiangyang."
"I control a vast territory of thousands of miles, and have countless people under my command. With a wave of my sleeve, countless people will apply for the army. The army is like rain, and the soldiers are like clouds. It is easy to attack Xiangyang."
Zhao Shanba raised his voice and said: "I didn't attack immediately because I couldn't bear to kill my own people. It's not that I didn't have the ability to attack, it's just that I didn't want to. Because all the people in Xiangyang are my people."
Zhao Rui sarcastically said: "Hypocrisy!"
Zhao Shan's eyes were determined and he continued: "Everyone under my rule has food and clothing. But when refugees arrive, they will be resettled and farmed."
"This is the real deal."
"Everyone can see it, so why is it hypocritical?"
"Zhao Rui, don't think of everyone as a tyrannical and unscrupulous person just because you are dirty and tyrannical at heart."
Zhao Shan's voice was a little broken, but he continued to shout: "Soldiers on the towers and people in Xiangyang City, I hereby announce that when I take Xiangyang City, all Xiangyang people will be exempted from taxes for one year."
"To the common people who have no land, the land will be distributed. To the common people who have no food, the court will open warehouses to provide disaster relief. It will ensure that everyone has land and food to eat."
"In addition, I will grant a marquis to those who kill those who rebel against Zhao Rui. If I have an official position, I promise to be promoted to the third level. I will not hesitate to reward anyone who has made great contributions to the imperial court's recovery of Xiangyang and the annihilation of Zhao Rui."
Zhao Shan kept making promises.
This is a strategy that he and Fang Weihu have long considered.
A strategy to attack the heart!
Zhao Shan is the emperor of Daqian and represents the orthodoxy of Daqian. Especially when Zhao Shan defeated Xiliang and suppressed the Northern Wei Dynasty, the imperial court was very powerful, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Local people had little taxes and light burdens. They lived a good life, and they had to worry about it even more.
Before Zhao Shan came to Xiangyang, Jingzhou, many decent people knew about the situation in the court, but they did not dare to act rashly, let alone resist Zhao Rui.
If Zhao Shan was a barbarian from the north and wanted to attack a strong city like Jingzhou and Xiangyang as a barbarian, the army and the people would naturally stand together to resist and fight desperately to avoid the massacre of their homeland.
Zhao Shan is different.
Zhao Shan is the orthodox emperor of Daqian, and the people of Xiangyang City naturally side with Zhao Shan.
In addition, Zhao Rui was extravagant and indulged in sexual activities and exploited the people. The local people were against Zhao Rui, so they would not continue to support Zhao Rui. Soldiers might desert.
Zhao Rui heard Zhao Shan's shouting on the tower and became even more angry.
Zhao Shan is too vicious.
If you can't defeat Xiangyang, use such despicable methods.
Zhao Rui looked around, his eyes even more fierce. Fortunately, Sun Pojun, Cheng Gan, Zuo Lei and others were there, plus Zhao Rui's direct descendants were on the tower, so he relaxed a little.
Zhao Rui looked at Zhao Shan again and continued: "Zhao Shan, no matter how eloquent you are, it's useless. Your words can't affect the people's hearts, let alone my military morale."
Zhao Shan seized the opportunity and continued to shout: "Soldiers on the city tower, what did you get in exchange for fighting for Zhao Rui? You made great achievements, but were embezzled by Zhao Rui's people."
"Your military pay has also been deducted by the generals. You have neither enough food nor clothing to keep you warm, and you are oppressed every day."
"Your family is overwhelmed by countless exorbitant taxes."
"Are you willing to be squeezed all the time?"
"Anyone who is still bloody, who is still filial and loyal, should fight for his family and himself. As long as you are united and resist Zhao Rui, your future will be full of hope."
Zhao Shan kept bewitching.
The voice reached the tower. Even though Zhao Rui's direct relatives were on the tower, many people were moved by Zhao Shan's words.
The key is that Zhao Shan's words are true.
As the vassal king who guarded the place, Zhao Rui collected exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the generals in the army continued to deduct the soldiers' pay. When there is no external influence, everything remains as usual. No one dares to stand up and resist, so they can only endure it.
When Zhao Shan came and problems were raised, people's hearts easily drifted, which started to go against Zhao Rui.
Zhao Rui said eagerly: "Zhao Shan, using such despicable means to sow discord will never succeed."
Zhao Shan mocked: "Zhao Rui, I just said a few words of truth, what are you anxious about? Haven't you squeezed the people to indulge in their pleasures? You, the Prince of Chu's family, have been enjoying the favor of Daqian for generations. The worship of all the people, but not for the sake of the people.”
"You, Zhao Rui, deserve to die!"
"Sirs, just do what you want in your heart. Open the city gates and welcome my army into the city. When I come to Xiangyang, there will be food and land."
"Welcome Master Wang."
Zhao Shan shouted further.
Zhao Rui became even more angry and impatient, and for a moment he didn't know how to deal with it.
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier quickly ran along the tower and said quickly: "Your Majesty, archers appeared outside the south city of Xiangyang, shooting arrows and shouting that the city would open to welcome the emperor. The emperor will not pay for his arrival."
"Report!"
Another soldier came quickly.
The soldier approached Zhao Rui and said quickly: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. A large number of archers appeared outside the east city of Xiangyang City, shooting arrows, and shouting, saying that they would open the city gate to welcome the emperor, and that the emperor was coming. The blue sky of Xiangyang Got it."
boom! !
There seemed to be thunder exploding in Zhao Rui's mind.
Everyone is confused!
After a long while, Zhao Rui came back to his senses and looked at Zhao Shan riding on horseback outside the city. His eyes were more fearful than ever before and his heart was extremely nervous. Zhao Shan, the dog emperor, is so treacherous that he shamelessly stirs up the morale of the people and the army.
Zhao Rui's eyes moved rapidly, and he quickly looked at Su Wei beside him, and said quickly: "Master Su, what do you think we should do?"
