Listening to the words of the people around him, Zhang Xiaoyu sneered and said leisurely,
"Everyone wants to return to their hometown? According to my opinion, I'm afraid that's not the case. When you return to your hometown, you can only be ordinary people. In Loulan Kingdom, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth.
Which one is better or worse, you should know in your mind. "
"But I tell you, I don't care who has this idea, put it away and wipe it clean!
If it were a time of peace, it would be understandable for you to think so.
But given the current situation, if you still think this way, you will definitely die.
First, now that the King's Master has arrived, Loulan is doomed to be subjugated and exterminated. If you all join forces with Loulan, you will suffer the same fate as the Loulan people, and be wiped out.
Secondly, even if the king's master does not come, it is impossible for Talmu's temperament to let you go.
We have been ministers of the same dynasty as Talmu for so many years, and he hates, despises, and excludes us Central Plains people the most. You all know this. When I proposed the appointment of people from the Central Plains as officials, Talmu had the loudest objection.
Now, Talmu was defeated at Yumen Pass and came back with only 50,000 soldiers and horses. The Kingdom of Loulan was empty as never before.
He took the opportunity to rebel, captured the king and the entire royal family alive, forced them to abdicate, and became the king himself.
Now, the monarch's entire family is being held in prison.
Everyone, Talmu has just ascended the throne and has not yet established a stable footing. He needs to appease people's hearts. In addition, the pressure from the king to wipe out the two kingdoms of Norbu Hami is always there, so Talmu has no time to take action against us.
Once he gains a foothold, he will definitely kill the original royal family and massacre us Central Plains people.
Everyone, do you understand? "
Everyone nodded again and again, and they now understood that no matter what the situation was, taking refuge in Loulan would be a dead end.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Xiaoyu smiled secretly.
Only by forcing these people to a dead end will they act according to their own plans.
A middle-aged official asked quickly,
"Master Zhang, then let's go back home and wait peacefully. When Master Wang breaks the city, we will surrender immediately and tell Master Wang that we are also from the Central Plains and ask them to show mercy."
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
However, Zhang Xiaoyu sneered, glanced at the man as if he were an idiot, and said,
"Then have you ever thought about why Master Wang let you go, a traitor from the Central Plains who defected to the Loulan people and became a high official of the Loulan Kingdom?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in awe.
Yes, no matter which country they are in, traitors are the most hated. Those who work for Loulan Kingdom will definitely be retaliated by Master Wang. When Master Wang knows that they are traitors, he will definitely kill them. It's more ruthless than killing people from Loulan.
"Master Zhang, then... no matter what, are we going to die?"
"Please Sir Zhang, please think of a solution quickly. You are our backbone."
"Master Zhang, you must have already thought of a countermeasure when you called us here. If you have any ideas, just tell us. We will listen to you."
Seeing that the effect was almost there, Zhang Xiaoyu smiled leisurely and said
"There is a way, it's very simple, just make meritorious deeds."
"Make meritorious service? How to make meritorious service?"
"Everyone, you must also know where I am from, right?"
After listening to Zhang Xiaoyu's words, everyone couldn't help but think about it. Suddenly someone said,
"Master Zhang, please remember that you were the defender of Yumen Pass. You escorted the envoy team to the Loulan Kingdom, and then you rebelled and joined the Loulan Kingdom."
"Yes, to be precise, the name of our army is the Yue Family Army.
The invincible Yue family army.
You used the word "rebellion" incorrectly. I have never rebelled against Dachuan, nor have I sincerely surrendered to Loulan Kingdom.
From the beginning to the end, my heart has always been towards Dachuan. Even in these years, I have provided a lot of information about the Loulan Kingdom to Yumen Pass.
Yue
The family army would rather die than surrender and rebel. "
As soon as Zhang Xiaoyu said this, everyone was shocked. They did not expect that Mr. Zhang, who they regarded as highly respected, would actually be a young man, a spy sent by Dachuan.
"Unexpectedly, I have been secretly communicating with Nie Ze, the commander of Yumen Pass, to provide intelligence to Dachuan.
Commander Nie knows my identity. When the army enters the city, I can sit back and relax. Master Wang will not take action against me, but you are not sure. "
"Oh, my Lord Zhang, please stop scaring me and tell me what you can do."
"Yes, Mr. Zhang, you have promoted us all with your own hands. You can't just die without saving us."
Zhang Xiaoyu waved his hand and continued,
"Nonsense, if I don't want to save you, why bother calling you here? Now I just want to show you a clear path.
I have good news and bad news for you here.
Do you know what kind of army is coming to attack Loulan this time?
You probably don’t know either.
The bad news is that only 100,000 troops came from Dachuan this time.
The good news is that these 100,000 troops are composed of 20,000 Zhenbei Army, 50,000 Yuejia Army, and 30,000 auxiliary troops.
The Zhenbei Army is invincible and once had a record of defeating the Loulan Army of 200,000 soldiers with 20,000 soldiers.
Talmu saw it and was able to scare his courage.
And our Yue Family Army is even more elite among the elite.
However, the number of our troops is still small. The thieves chief Talmu gathered all 50,000 elites into Loulan City and resisted stubbornly. The king's division will definitely suffer heavy casualties when attacking the city.
Therefore, what you have to do is to summon all the people from the Central Plains who can be summoned, whether they are servants or slaves.
Coupled with the dead soldiers I have raised over the years, we can gather thousands of people. When the time comes, we will attack the palace together and capture Talmu alive.
First, he was used to force the defenders to surrender and facilitate the king's division into the city.
Secondly, Talmu sent troops to massacre hundreds of thousands of our people in Dachuan. He knew that he had committed a serious crime and he would definitely commit suicide on the day when the king's army broke through the city.
This crime is unforgivable. He cannot die. He must be captured alive and cut into pieces to apologize to the innocent people who died tragically.
With this merit, you can avoid death, do you understand? "
Everyone looked at each other in confusion after hearing this, and deliberately said that this move was too dangerous, but when they thought that if they did it, they might die, and if they didn't, they would definitely die, so they could only nod in agreement.
What's more, not all of them are dazzled by glory and wealth. Most of them are still bloody. They have also had relatives and friends killed by the Loulan people, and they hate them unforgettable. Now they finally have a chance to take revenge. You can also give up your life and forget about death.
At that moment, under Zhang Xiaoyu's command, they all went home to gather people to distribute weapons, waiting to start tomorrow morning.
After they left, Zhang Xiaoyu came to the desk and sat down.
The boy next to him frowned and said,
"Master, Nie Shuai knows your identity. You can survive as long as you do nothing. Why do you do such a dangerous thing just before the king's army breaks the city?"
"It's not easy for the king's army to break the city. Talmu prepared for more than a month. The 50,000 Yuejia army alone cannot break the city guarded by five defenders.
What's more, as a true man, I pledged my life to my country. As long as I can break the city and rescue you, the people of the Central Plains, I will die without regrets. "
While talking, Zhang Xiaoyu took out a pen and paper and said while writing,
"I will write a letter. If I die, you will hand him over to General Xie Xing of the Yue Family Army and ask him to take him back to Yumen Pass."
The letter reads,
"Mengqi, my wife, sees words like face. We haven't seen each other for five years, and I miss my husband very much. Xiaoyu is worthy of the emperor and worthy of the people. I owe you a lot.
This trip is dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will be in danger.
This body has been promised to the country, and it will be difficult to give it to Qing again.
I hope my wife will find a good match again. Xiaoyu will not be able to repay the great kindness she has received in this life.
If there is an afterlife, I will not serve my husband but my country.
People, I will live with you in the mountains and forests, living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and my life will be gray..."
