Was Su Lianxian responsible for the assassination of Zhongshan's adopted son? At this moment, Su Lianxian was at a disadvantage in terms of righteousness.
"I, Zhongshan, consider myself to be responsible for my work, raising the sky above and raising the common people below. Although I am a merchant, I take from the people and give back to the people. The Song Dynasty occupies a rich land, but still countless people starve to death in the wilderness.
The land in the Great Kun Country is not fertile, and there are famines and natural disasters every year. However, none of the people in the Great Kun Country died of starvation. Is it because of what your court did? I, Zhongshan, save the world. Is there any disaster relief without me?
With the strong support of Shanshan? Today, you want to kill the goose that lays eggs and destroy me, Zhongshan, for your own selfish desires? In the future, which businessman will dare to save the country and save the people? After today, what face do you have to face the world and the people, even if
In the army behind you, do you dare to say that no one has received any favor from me?" Zhong Shan said loudly.
Zhong Shan's words shocked the three armies. The army that was originally sluggish now actually had a slight commotion within it. It is true that most of the soldiers have not received Zhong Shan's favor, but there is still a small number who have received Zhong Shan's favor, or
When their parents were about to starve to death during the famine, it was Zhongshan Trading Company that brought a large amount of grain and grass to save them.
Now, with the army, are you going to kill this benefactor? Although soldiers obey orders, people's hearts are full of flesh, and there are always some people who are conflicted about killing Zhong Shan.
Turning his head, Su Lianxian saw a commotion among the army and immediately knew something was wrong.
The morale was already low. Should we attack by force at this time? Moreover, Zhong Shan's words seemed to have strengthened the secretion of the pituitary glands of the soldiers defending the city. They were all excited and full of fighting spirit. Even the people defending the city were slightly timid at the beginning.
It became impassioned.
Charge? You can't charge. Although you are far ahead of the city defense army, you still can't charge at this time.
"Humph, Zhongshan is acting rebelliously and openly treasoning. As long as the people in the city come out, they will be exempted from guilt. Otherwise, they will be punished with the same crime as Zhongshan." Su Lianxian said again.
However, at this moment, not only the guards, but also the people under the city were said to be full of enthusiasm by Zhong Shan. After all, in Xuancheng, there were more people who had received Zhong Shan's favor.
“Dong~~~”
Emperor Su Zhengde has ordered the troops to retreat.
Although I know that I have more people, I know more about the morale of the army. It is better to go back early and reorganize the morale before coming back.
Su Lianxian glanced at Zhong Shan with a groan, followed the innate masters on horseback and retreated, leading the army back to the main camp.
"Uncle, you are so powerful. With just a few words, you can retreat an army of 200,000 people." Yinglan's eyes burst out with strong admiration.
Yinglan also served as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, but she was not as exaggerated as her great-uncle. With just a few words, she retreated an army of 200,000. This is incredible.
"Retreat? It's only temporary. However, this temporary period is enough. The news should be brought over there to start taking action." Zhong Shan shook his head and smiled.
Then, Zhong Shan slowly retreated from the tower and went back to continue coordinating the battle.
"Zhengde, why do you want to withdraw your troops? We have 200,000 troops here. It's a little difficult to break through Xuancheng, but as long as Zhong Shan is killed, everything will be worth it." Su Lianxian immediately said to his son anxiously.
"Father, do you think we will lose much if we rush into the city?" Su Zhengde said.
"At most 80,000 people will definitely enter the city, and they will definitely be able to destroy Zhongshan." Su Lianxian said.
"Now in Xuancheng, the people must share the same hatred against the enemy. By then, at least 120,000 of our soldiers will die, and the people may die as a result. 150,000 people. It is a small matter for the soldiers to die, but if 150,000 people die this time
, then how long can our Su family sit on the Great Kun Kingdom?" Su Zhengde said again.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is right. Although Zhong Shan can be killed for a while, the royal family will definitely lose its trust in the world, public resentment will spread, and the people will no longer support the royal family. There will definitely be many rebellions, and even the other five countries will rebel.
He is staring at my country, Da Kun, and his whole body will be affected by a single move." Eunuch Wei suddenly said.
His innate masters also nodded. Indeed, Su Zhengde did the right thing. Even the ancestors of the Su family also nodded.
"How much food does he have in Xuancheng? We just have to wait patiently. Isn't this your strategy, father?" Su Zhengde smiled.
Looking at Su Zhengde, Su Lianxian said anxiously: "You still don't know how terrible Zhongshan is. You don't know yet. I got him in retreat before, and then I got the news that he was seriously injured. I just made that strategy in confusion, but I just discovered it just now.
How ridiculous my previous thoughts were. When I saw him, I felt that his courage was even stronger back then. He was even more powerful than before. As long as he had time, he could turn things around. We can't give him time. As long as he has time,
A little bit of time can turn things around. If I hadn't used my power to devise a contract with him, he would have replaced the Su family and become the head of the Dakun Kingdom."
"Okay," the ancestor of the Su family shouted.
As soon as the ancestor drank, everyone stopped talking.
"He was once a majestic king of a country, but he was so merciless in times of trouble. With Zhongshan surrounding the city, could he train the people into a large army? Besides, how long can the food in the city last? How many houses can be demolished to make firewood for cooking?
?As long as the people's morale is in chaos, Xuancheng will be destroyed without attack, and Zhongshan will lose its reputation. How can he be allowed to turn things around after being surrounded for a few days? Do it according to Zhengde." The ancestor of the Su family shouted.
"Yes." Su Lianxian could only nod. But his expression did not relax, and everyone else nodded. After all, this method is the best at present.
Three more days later.
In the Bell Mansion in Xuancheng, Zhong Shan sat on the Grand Master's chair with his eyes closed, tapping his fingers on the coffee table. In front of him stood Zhong Tian, Zhong Zheng and Yinglan, waiting for Zhong Shan.
Suddenly, Zhong Shan stopped and opened his eyes and said: "Okay, prepare as I said. The decisive battle is today. I want all the innate masters to be wiped out. I want an army of 800,000 to be under my control."
"Yes" the three of them nodded excitedly and shouted.
"Go ahead," Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"Yes" Zhong Tian, Zhong Zheng and Yinglan immediately said excitedly.
In the early morning, in the big tent where the Twelve Xiantians were, the ancestors of the Su family were sitting at the top, holding a cup of tea, frowning and thinking. People below were also talking to each other.
Su Lianxian has been silent and solemn since he was scolded by his ancestor three days ago.
"How many days has it been? Is there still no civil unrest in the city?" the ancestor of the Su family said in a deep voice.
Su Zhengde immediately said: "Ancestor, it should be soon. Even if there are still grain reserves, the firewood has been used up long ago. Now furniture is being burned every day, or in other words, the beams are still being burned. The people's hearts must be shaken. As long as we wait a little longer.
Just wait, wait a little longer."
"Hmph, how do you know what's going on in the city?" Su Lianxian immediately glared.
"Father, with a population of one million in Xuancheng, it is conceivable that the daily consumption is huge." Su Zhengde said confidently.
"Report~~~"
Suddenly there was an anxious voice outside the big tent, and then someone broke into the big tent without warning.
The person who came looked like a sentry, but his body was covered in blood, his hair was messy, and he had multiple injuries on his body.
When visitors enter the tent, they kneel to Su Zhengde.
"Your Majesty, something bad happened. General Lin led 300,000 troops straight into the capital the day before yesterday and attacked the imperial city. All members of your majesty's clan in the imperial city were killed in half at the south gate of the capital at the evening of the day before yesterday. The prince also said
He was martyred for his country, the imperial city had become a pile of ruins, and the people in the capital were panic-stricken and fled in panic."
"Lin Xiao" Su Zhengde slapped the coffee table and stood up angrily.
The other innate masters also stood up and looked at the soldier in front of them in disbelief.
Lin Xiao? The military god of the Kun Dynasty. He commanded a heavy army. He had always been on the defensive side to guard against the invasion of the Song Dynasty. What happened? Why did he suddenly lead his troops into the capital? He rebelled?
Is the Su family bloodline completely wiped out?
The shock at this moment was too great, so great that it was unbelievable and unbelievable. In the blink of an eye, the sky changed?
"I swear to destroy your nine tribes." Su Zhengde said angrily.
"Report~~~"
While everyone was furious because of Lin Xiao's treason, an anxious shout came from outside the big tent again.
Then, another sentry quickly ran in from outside the big tent. The sentry's body was completely black, and his hair was burnt in several places, as if he had just returned from a fire.
When someone enters the tent, he falls to the ground and bows to Su Zhengde.
"Your Majesty, something bad happened. The food and grass in the Western Mountains were stationed. Last night, a huge fire suddenly broke out. The grain officer died in the tent for no reason last night. The fire came too fast. In the blink of an eye, the food and grass were burned and turned into ashes.
.”
The soldiers quickly reported fear.
"Pa"
Su Zhengde unconsciously knocked over the tea cup on the table. Bad news, absolutely bad news, the food and grass were burned to the ground?
The reason why the 800,000-strong army is stationed here is because of this food and grass. Food and grass are the foundation of the army. Once the food and grass are destroyed, the morale of the army will be dispersed and the battle will be lost.
"Take the other's way and repay the other's body. We cut off Zhongshan's food, and Zhongshan also cut off our food. It was Zhongshan, and it must be Zhongshan's doing." Su Zhengde immediately exclaimed.
"Moreover, Lin Xiao has not rebelled sooner or later, so he rebels at this juncture? The closest to here is the capital. If Lin Xiao seizes the capital, it will block our retreat. Now the army only has one day's food. If we live frugally, it will be
It can only be maintained for two days, and it is impossible to lead the army to other cities in two days. By then, the 800,000-strong army will be defeated, and the throne of my Su family will become completely illusory." Su Lianxian suddenly said, with a flash of disbelief in his eyes.
