The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 478 Mobilization Before the War
There is no curtain to cover the chariot, it is bare and looks extremely simple.Wu Liang, the county magistrate, and the chief officials of Shaowu County, such as the county magistrate and county lieutenant, all stood on the chariot.

On the fence in front of them hung a banner that covered their lower bodies.This banner has a white background and red characters, it looks like a blood book.

Behind them, dozens of soldiers with gongs and drums in their hands followed.

On the banner, nothing else was written, but the viciousness of many Yuan armies and Yuan armies, and even the events in Dayu City on Jiangnan West Road were written on it.

Just after leaving the street in front of Fuya, the lively atmosphere gradually appeared on the street in front.The soldiers with gongs and drums also beat the gongs and drums in their hands.

The chariot moved extremely slowly.

The common people on the street saw Xi Wuliang and others wearing official robes on the chariot, and they all consciously moved to both sides of the street.eyes, but couldn't help being attracted by the banner.

Literate readers or old calligraphers told the illiterate people around them the words on the banner.

Xi Wuliang's face was full of indignation, he stopped the chariot for a few minutes, and then shouted: "My fellow countrymen, can we let the Yuan army destroy our Shaowu County?"

Before the people had time to react, the soldiers behind the chariot all shouted, "Swear to die with the Yuan thief! Keep the Yuan army out of Shaowu County!"

Immediately afterwards, someone in the crowd also shouted, "Swear to die with the Yuan thief. We Han people will never be slaves of the Mongols again!"

Those who are interested will surely find out that in fact, these people who create momentum among the crowd are all people from the government office, and some are even the policemen and government servants in Shaowu County.

But I have to say that Xi Wuliang's actions still mobilized the enthusiasm of the people a lot.

They followed Huang Hua against the Yuan, and after layers of persuasion, they were already extremely dissatisfied with the Yuan army in their hearts.Suddenly, more and more people shouted.

In any era, there is no shortage of passionate people among the people.

Xi Wuliang raised his arms high, and also shouted: "Swear to die with the Yuan thieves! Defend our Great Song territory!"

He was not satisfied until the crowd gradually surged, and let the soldiers continue to push the chariot forward.

Shouts gradually spread in Shaowu County.

There are also smart people among the people who know that this is all Xi Wuliang's trick, but their remarks still cannot cover up the common hatred of everyone.After all, in any case, when the Yuan Dynasty ruled the land of the Song Dynasty, it did exploit the Han people too much. Moreover, all the viciousness of the Yuan army written on the banners also happened in reality.

When the hatred for the Yuan Dynasty is aroused in the heart, who cares if this is Xi Wuliang's trick to gather people's hearts?
During the Yuan Dynasty's attack on the Song Dynasty, nearly half of the country's population was lost.Later, they despised the Han people in every possible way. Against this background, how many Han people in the old Southern Song Dynasty did not hate the Yuan Dynasty to the core?

The time that the Yuan Dynasty occupied Fujian was not too long, and obviously it was not possible to completely enslave these Song people.

In the city of Shaowu County, there is gradually a momentum of coexistence and death with Shaowu County.On this day, some people volunteered to the army to help arrange defenses.

In the government office, Zhao Dongting also learned the news not long after the chariot left the house.

This really surprised him, and it was inevitable that he would look at Xi Wuliang differently.

He really didn't expect that in this day and age, there are still people who can come up with such an idea.Isn't this the scene when the elections of later generations draw votes?

From the stories of Qing Yunzi and others, we can already know that Xi Wuliang's move has achieved good results.With the help of the common people, the possibility of sticking to Shaowu County is indeed somewhat greater.

I have to say that Xi Wuliang really has some brains.

After Xi Wuliang returned home, Zhao Dongting asked someone to call him to his yard.

As soon as Xi Wuliang appeared in the courtyard, Zhao Dongting asked: "Master Xi, the chariot and the banner are all your ideas?"

He was expressionless.

This expression made Xi Wuliang feel a little uneasy, after a little hesitation, he said: "This minister made his own claims, and I ask the emperor to punish me."

Zhao Dongting almost couldn't help laughing, and said again: "How did you come up with such an idea?"

Xi Wuliang said: "I came up with this method because I heard that when Lu Wenhuan was guarding Xiangyang, he also did various actions to incite the hearts of the people."

"Ah."

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly, and sighed: "Lu Wenhuan is indeed a great general, but unfortunately, he was finally demoted."

In his heart, he still felt a little pity about this.If the Song Dynasty had been a little more powerful at that time, and had aided Xiangyang, Lu Wenhuan, who had stuck to Xiangyang for six years, would not have been degraded.

He could stick to Xiangyang for six years, if he hadn't been disheartened, he would never have thought of throwing money, right?

As for Xi Wuliang, he wisely didn't answer this question.

After Zhao Dongting sighed, he said again: "It's fine to inspire the hearts of the people, but you can't really let the common people go to fight with the Yuan army. Fighting is a matter for soldiers."

Seeing Zhao Dongting's serious expression, Xi Wuliang quickly bowed his head, "I will lead the order. When the Yuan army arrives, the common people will hide in their homes."

"Ah."

Zhao Dongting nodded again, "Then go down and do your work first!"

"Wei Chen retire."

Xi Wuliang was a little confused, glanced at Zhao Dongting quietly, and retreated outside the courtyard.He really didn't understand what Zhao Dongting asked him to come here for.

Is it really just asking if he came up with this idea?

And the emperor couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry on his expression, so did he appreciate his actions?
Xi Wuliang, who exited the yard, suddenly felt what is called the unfathomable Sacred Heart.At the same time, he suddenly realized that although Zhao Dongting was young, he already had the appearance of a wise king.

At such a young age, with such indistinct expressions of emotion and anger, what will the future emperor be like?
Another two days passed.

Xi Wuliang still took the chief officials such as the county secretary and county lieutenant to "speech" on the streets of the city every day.

Shaowu County was in full swing, and arrows and crossbows were piled up on the arrow stacks at the top of the city.Traditional city defense tools such as stones and kerosene were also carried to the top of the city by the people and soldiers.

People from Youguang County entered the city through the North City Gate one after another, and as the time got later and later, the number of people entering the city became more and more dense.

All day and night, the gate of Shaowu County was never closed.The whole city is also brightly lit.

The inns in the city are making a lot of money again, and there are even rumors that the owner of a certain inn has made too much money these days and laughed too much, his face cramped because of it, and he couldn't recover.

This is of course an exaggeration, at most it is just a nervous twitch, and it is impossible to recover.

Zhao Dongting would occasionally take Hong Wutian and others around the city, hearing these rumors among the neighbors, he couldn't help but laugh.

On the third day, the inns in Shaowu County could no longer accommodate guests, and even the stables were rented out.

Xi Wuliang was instructed by Zhao Dongting to give a speech on the street, asking the people in the city to take in the people who had taken refuge in Guangze County.

His eloquence is very good, and his expression is luxuriant.After spending a lot of saliva, many people in the city began to accept Guangguang's people to live in their homes.

This made the crowded streets of Shaowu County finally emptied a little bit, which naturally made many people in Guangguang County grateful.

Finally, the defenders of Guangze County also rushed to Shaowu County.

Xi Wuliang took the county magistrate from Guangze County and others to meet Zhao Dongting, and then the soldiers from Guangze County quickly joined the city defense sequence.

The breath of war quietly wafted over the entire Shaowu County, and the city was still in full swing, but the smiles on everyone's faces still unknowingly diminished.

As a common people, no one wants to be affected by the flames of war.What they want has never been much, and they have always just lived in peace and stability.

It's night again.

The night gradually enveloped the whole world.

Zhao Dongting called Yuan Zhenzi, Yuan Ion, Yuan Chunzi, Yuan Xiuzi, Hong Wutian, Le Wuwei, Mrs. Xu, Tie Liduan, and Kumano to the courtyard.

Seeing several people standing in front of him, Zhao Dongting couldn't help feeling a surge of emotion in his heart.

These are a total of nine real martial arts experts.

In the entire world, how many real martial arts experts are there?

Although it is definitely not as few as listed on the Jianghu master list, but there should be no more than a hundred people at most, right?

A smile gradually appeared on the corner of Zhao Dongting's mouth, and he said, "Seniors, do you dare to go to Guangze County?"

Tie Liduan, who was once a master of the Yanyu Battalion, was the first to understand Zhao Dongting's meaning, "Did the emperor ask us to assassinate the generals of the Yuan thieves?"

Zhao Dongting's eyes lit up, "That's true. The Yuan army will surely occupy Guangguang County soon. If we want to delay their pace, we must first make them mess up."

Tie Liduan also smiled, "I would like to go."

He used to do such things in the Yan Yu camp.

Hong Wutian, Mrs. Xu and Le Wuhui naturally followed suit and nodded.As real martial arts experts, entering Guangguang County really couldn't cause them too much psychological pressure.

Even if you can't assassinate the generals of the Yuan army, the soldiers of the Yuan army still don't have the ability to keep them, right?
Afterwards, Yuan Zhenzi, Yuan Ion, Yuan Xiuzi and Yuan Chunzi also nodded.They stayed in Shaowu County, obviously already made a decision in their hearts.

Only Kumano remained.

Zhao Dongting looked towards Kumano.

Kumano's face looked more like a zombie under the light of the oil lamp, his real complexion turned blue, and his voice was hoarse, "I only need to go alone, and I can assassinate the general of the Yuan army."
