please make me king

Chapter 1667
"You did a good job yesterday, which greatly dampened the morale of the 'shun thief'!" Prince Li Lie Daishan came to Ximen and praised.

"My lord's praise, it's just a fluke!" Du Du smiled modestly, but seeing his expression, he was also quite proud.

Since Hou Jin fought against the rebels, they have lost consecutive battles and have never won a favor.

Although it is only a small victory now, it is also an exciting thing.

"Victory is victory, and defeat is defeat. Is there such a thing as a fluke?" Dai Shan couldn't help but loudly said deliberately, "The order will be passed on. Anyone who went out to fight yesterday will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver, a cooked chicken, and a pot of shochu!"

"Okay!" All the soldiers were taken aback when they heard the sound, and then couldn't help cheering.

It turns out that after that, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin had no pay and silver, and they all depended on plunder.

Since Hou Jin's soldiers were defeated in the competition, they have lost consecutive battles. Not only did the soldiers suffer serious losses, but nine out of ten families lost their source of income, and their lives were extremely difficult.

Now I suddenly heard that I had received such a generous reward, and my morale was immediately boosted.

Seeing that the morale was available, and hearing the few cannons outside the city, that generation of good people couldn't help being encouraged: "Yesterday's battle, the 'Shun Bandit' was terrified. Don't say anything else, just listen to the cannons. It's much sparser!"

Everyone heard the words and listened carefully, and compared with yesterday, the sound of the cannons was much less, and they couldn't help laughing: "Just fight like this, we don't know how many caves for hiding soldiers in Shenyang City, let's see how he can prevent it!"

Just as everyone was talking to each other and imagining a bright future, at this moment a soldier hurried in.

"What's the matter?" Du Du frowned, only to tell him that the "shun thief" came out with a new trick.

"Master Baylor, you will know when you go to the city." The soldier saw the atmosphere, so he had no choice but to hint.

"Oh? My lord, excuse me!" Hearing this, Du Du couldn't help but signaled to Daishan, and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, when Daishan saw this, he couldn't help but go crazy, but said: "It's just right, let's go together, go together!"

"Okay then!" Du Du hesitated for a moment, but nodded helplessly.

When everyone climbed up the city wall, Daishan couldn't help but twitch his eyelids when he saw the bare city wall, and felt uneasy in his heart.

He knew that the battle in the city was fierce, but he never expected it to be so fierce.

In just a few days, all the defensive facilities in the city were completely destroyed by the "Shun Thieves".

"My lord, Lord Baylor, look!" At this moment, the soldier pointed out.

Everyone followed his fingers and saw that there were only a dozen cannons lined up outside the city today, but behind the cannons, there were several pairs of men and horses digging for something.

"Acupoint attack?" Seeing this, Daishan's first reaction was that the rebels were going to dig tunnels into the city.

"This..." Du Du looked carefully for a while, then shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that's not the case."

"In my opinion, what the 'Shun Bandit' dug is not a tunnel, but a trench!"

"Trenches?" Dai Shan was taken aback when he heard the words, and watched carefully for a long time. He saw that the direction the rebels dug was parallel to the north-south direction of the west of the city, not the vertical direction.

If it is in a vertical direction, it means that the other party is planning to dig into the city, so it must be authentic.

However, it is in a parallel direction, so there is a high probability that it is the trench that Du Du said.

When that Daishan saw it, he first smiled, and then his heart trembled.

Do you know why?

It turns out that this method of digging trenches and attacking cities was also used by Hou Jin.

I think back then, when the Houjin soldiers were victorious, they surrounded their ancestors and lived on the banks of the Daling River. They were unable to attack for a long time, so they dug trenches and completely besieged them.

When the food and grass were exhausted and the reinforcements were all defeated, Zu Dashou had no choice but to lead his troops back to surrender.

Now the "shun thief" reuses his tricks, what does this mean?
This shows that the "shun thief" did not intend to make a quick solution at all, but thought it was a long-term solution.

At the beginning, there was no food for Zu's birthday, and later Jin was besieged for three or four months, which forced him to surrender.

If the "shun thieves" follow this strategy and plan to besiege Shengjing and Shenyang in three or four months, it will definitely not be a good sign for Hou Jin.

"Hurry up and send someone to check the other door to see what's going on!" Na Daishan ordered with a serious face when he thought of this.

"Ah? Good!" Du Du didn't react for a while after hearing the words, but he agreed happily.

"Report, the 'Shun Bandit' in the south of the city is digging a trench!"

"Report, the 'Shun Bandits' in the north of the city are also digging trenches!"

"Report, there are also signs of 'shun thieves' in the east of the city!"

Not long after, news came one after another, confirming Daishan's judgment.

"Is this 'shun thief' planning to trap us to death?" By this time, Anping Belledudu also recalled.

"That's right, it seems that there is such a plan!" Dai Shan said calmly.

"No. Didn't you say that the 'Shun thief' has traveled thousands of miles, and the food and salary are not enough?" Du Du couldn't help asking weakly.

"When the fourth son entered the customs, he said that the 'Shun Bandit' had no more than [-] soldiers. What happened? What happened?" Dai Shan asked rhetorically.

"Nothing is 20 percent. A few days ago, I asked several old Han scholars about it. When Zhu Yuanzhang entered Liaodong, he supported an army of [-] by sea alone."

"Now this 'Shun thief' is worse than the 'Zhu thief'?"

"What?" When Du Du heard this, he couldn't help being taken aback.

From the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty, there have been so many changes. It is hard for them to imagine how the Han region could have such a strong delivery power when the early Ming Dynasty was full of waste.

Now even if the rebel army can't project this much power, if only half of it is projected, it is enough for them to drink a pot.

"Then what shall we do?" Du Du has already imagined the terrible scene of Shengjing Shenyang being surrounded by three layers of moats, and then "people cannibalizing each other" in the city, selling human flesh everywhere.

"Hold on, I'll go to meet His Majesty!" Nadai Shan thought for a while and couldn't help but ordered.

"Prince Li Lie wants to see me? Why do you see me?" Just as Daishan turned back to the "Imperial Palace" to pay his respects to Duoduo, unexpectedly Na Duoduo was eating wine with two women in his arms.

"Talk about the military situation." The eunuch quickly reported.

"Oh? Then let him come in!" Doduo hiccupped and ordered in a dizzy manner.

"Cha!" The servant responded, and not long after, he led an old man over fifty years old into the room.

"Your Majesty?" The old man frowned as he finished saluting on behalf of the benefactor, seeing the unsightly scene in front of him.

"Why, has 'Shun Thief' gone?" Duoduo couldn't help asking with a smile when he heard the words.

"Then drink, let's continue to drink until the 'Shun Thief' runs out of food!" Duoduo stretched his neck involuntarily, and took another sip from the wine glass in the hand of the woman next to him.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing this, Dai Shan couldn't bear it any longer, and couldn't help but shouted, "The 'Shun Bandit' not only didn't leave, but instead dug trenches from the north, west and south, trying to completely besiege our city of Shengjing!"

"Oh?" Na Duoduo didn't take it seriously when he heard the words, but laughed instead, "So there's no siege in the east?"

"Yes!" Daishan didn't know why, so he nodded.

"Since there is no siege in the east, what are you afraid of, Prince Lilie?" Duoduo smiled, "Since he wants the Shengjing Shenyang, just give it to him, what else can I do?"

"Could it be possible for his tens of thousands of troops to stay here permanently?"

"Once he mobilizes his troops to go south, I will kill the general from Hetuala again and follow my father's story. What can he do to me?"

"Going back to Hetuala?" Hearing this, Daishan felt a wave of ignorance and karma rising, wishing he could strangle this guy to death.

"Yes, since Shengjing is difficult to defend, why don't we escape into the mountains and wait for the opportunity?" Duoduo couldn't help laughing, "I heard that there are high mountains and difficult roads in Jianzhou. Annihilate his army"

"Your Majesty!" Daishan couldn't help shouting even louder, "What do you think the old place of Jianzhou is?"

"That's a barren land, that's a poor country, that's a land of wolves, tigers and leopards!"

"His Royal Highness was still young, so he didn't know how difficult it was. Since my father brought us out, no one wanted to go back, no one!"

"Do you think they will follow you if you give an order?"

"No, they won't!"

"They have enjoyed the glory and wealth, and they can't afford the hardship anymore. They would rather take refuge in the 'Smooth Thief', who will be their cows, horses, chickens and dogs. They don't want to go back!"

"At that time, is it possible that His Majesty is going to restore the country by himself?"
