"I didn't expect that the Bingxian would be so skilled in making confessions!" After the Moon King was carried off drunkenly, Liu Xu walked out from behind and said with a smile.
"This is not a confession I made up, but something he told me on his own initiative!" Han Xin said expressionlessly, "He wanted to live but didn't want to lose his so-called face, so he just used this method to survive. It really doesn't matter. mean!"
"So Bingxian, do you think this confession is credible?" Liu Xu asked curiously.
"Nine truths and one lie! After all, we can gradually verify many things. If he wants to live, he will not dare to make extremely obvious lies." Han Xin thought for a while and then said, "In fact, it is not a lie. He repeatedly told I taught him that Emperor Zhou cannot leave the capital."
"But in fact, it's not that the Emperor Zhou cannot leave the capital, it's just that after leaving the capital, the channel for divine power will be cut off. So if this Emperor Zhou is only willing to let the world cut off divine power for a short time, he can still leave the capital! "Han Xin said lightly.
"My lord, do you want to capture this water city? We have been under the city for more than ten days. If we delay it any longer, there is probably no point in it."
"Then let's fight them down!" Liu Xu waved his hands and said, "I originally wanted to use this to attract a few divine admirals to come over, but these people were too oily and didn't show up at all. It seems impossible for them to show up. There’s no need to drag it out anymore, just fight it off.”
"Yes!" Han Xin's face showed a trace of joy. He was not murderous, but it was just that he was very uncomfortable if he could not capture the city he had obtained.
Although this war with Zhou State has not yet brought out 10% of Han Xin's abilities, it has allowed Han Xin to find some fun. But if this fun lasts too long in Shuicheng, everything will be over.
"Not just here, I will give orders to others to start attacking other provinces at the same time!" Liu Xu said with a smile.
"Why did my lord decide to attack in an all-out way at this time? Could it be you, my lord?" Hearing Liu Xu's words, Han Xin couldn't help but be a little surprised. After all, the reason why Liu Xu refused to attack in an all-out way before was because he had never made a breakthrough. Could it be that Liu Xu has made a breakthrough now?
"Still not!" Liu Xu shook his head, then sighed and said, "For more than half a month, you have been directing the battle, while I have been traveling in the Water Province, and then I found that we made a huge mistake!"
"What's the mistake?" Han Xin asked in confusion.
"The mistake of population!" Liu Xu looked very sad. "Before, I always thought of using conscription to consume the people of these seven provinces and destroy their people's hearts. Although these goals have been achieved, they have also plunged the entire seven provinces into an artificial In the midst of disaster.”
"I traveled for 10 days this time and passed through 31 villages. As a result, the best of these 31 villages lost 30% of their population, and generally lost 50% of their population. In some villages, only women and children were left. The worst thing is that five villages have completely disappeared, leaving only empty villages."
"I have always thought that these two conscriptions only caused the loss of 2 million people in the seven provinces, which is not a huge loss. But the result is far more serious than I imagined. If this continues, the number of people lost in the seven provinces may be More than half, which is contrary to our original purpose.”
"After all, what I really care about is the population here. I want to turn them into my readers, rather than destroy these people!" Liu Xu said.
"If we continue to go back this time, there will be a third round of conscription, another round of one million troops. By then, I am afraid that there will really not be many living people in the entire seven provinces."
"In this case, we can't delay it any longer. Use the fastest speed to win all the provinces, but don't touch Zhoudu. I want to see how the emperor plans to deal with it!" Liu Xu squinted his eyes.
That night, Shuicheng was completely gone. The Scourge Legion rushed into the city. At the same time, Clairvoyance and Shunfeng Er were always on guard against the surprise attack of the God Guard Admiral.
But the divine admiral left very simply. After breaking the city, he actually had no intention of resisting and just protected the core members of his family from leaving.
Faced with such a divine admiral who wanted to escape, it was impossible for ordinary soldiers to stop him. Although the clairvoyant Shunfeng'er chased him immediately, at this time, several other divine guardian admirals suddenly appeared and directly killed the clairvoyant and shunfeng'er. The Shui family ran away.
Liu Xu didn't pay too much attention to this. Admiral Shenshou wanted to run away, but Liu Xu really had no way to stop him. Fortunately, he couldn't take away the city's territory and population, and where could the people from this family escape to?
Following Liu Xu's order, the Scourge Legion, which had been holding back for more than two years, completely burst out with anger and launched an attack on all adjacent provinces with unimaginable rapidity.
In comparison, these provinces are miserable.
More than half of their troops were given to the coalition forces, and the remaining troops were more like a hunting party with weapons than an army.
These armies have not been systematically trained by Liu Bang and are still in the hands of the major families. The result is that they are almost the same as the armies during the first war. Under the impact of the natural disaster legions, they were broken at a touch and soon completely destroyed. Surrounded the provincial capital of each family.
The admiral of the Shui family, his first goal was the Xu Province next door, and he wanted to settle his family in the Xu family. Even if he had to live under someone else's roof, there was really nothing he could do for the survival of the family.
But when the god-shou admiral was about to arrive in Xu City, he happened to encounter a fleeing team in embarrassment. The god-shou admiral swore that if he hadn't taken a second look, he would never have discovered that this fleeing team was actually Xu. He is a member of the family, and the leader is also his old friend and acquaintance.
"You are also dead!" Seeing that the other party looked like himself, Admiral Shui knew what happened without having to guess.
"It's too long to finish!" Admiral Xu sighed. He originally wanted to say a few words of reluctance, but he found it very boring. In the end, he closed his mouth, leaving only one sentence that was too long to finish.
"Then where are we going now?" The original plan was to go to the Xu family with whom we were close, and then the two admirals would fight side by side, which could be regarded as taking care of them, but they encountered this situation.
"Go to Bo's house!"
A few days later, the three families successfully reunited and fled together.
At this time, they already understood that the Scourge Legion had probably launched a full-scale attack, and it was difficult for other provinces to survive. Maybe they were fleeing for their lives from another place now.
Faced with the current situation, these admirals have only one choice left, which is to take their families to Zhoudu. Although this will be completely controlled by the Zhou Emperor, this is better than completely destroying their families. !
