Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

The continuous loss of territory naturally made the rebel army in the capital angry, but also very scared. After all, they had finally pacified the world, and if they were to be defeated by Linlang in the end and let Linlang unify the world, wouldn’t they be laughed to death?

They originally thought that Linlang would be good at building bastions and defending the city, but not at attacking the city. They did not expect that the other party would also be good at attacking the city and could actually seize their city.

Even though they could say that those cities were newly occupied and they did not send many people, so Linlang easily took them down, but they were still their cities, so they were naturally angry.

In fact, after these newly occupied cities were easily captured by Linlang's troops, they helped Linlang practice siege techniques.

Before, everyone was a little worried that their siege skills were not good enough, but after practicing again and again and winning every time, everyone's confidence increased. They thought that siege was not that difficult. It was just finding a place, besieging it, not fighting, and then attacking the reinforcements. It was not difficult.

Yes, Linlang seldom lets her men storm a city, because she doesn't want too many people to die. After all, storming a city means sacrificing lives.

So most of the time they lay siege, don't fight, and then surround the point and attack the reinforcements, which is much easier.

Generally, cities do not have much stored food, especially in the capital where the rebel army has just conquered the world. All the cities have been destroyed before, so how can there be much stored food? In some cities, even the city walls have been destroyed - these are easier to occupy. Often, before Linlang's people arrive, the enemy sees that the city is broken and cannot be defended at all, so they flee - if a city like this is besieged, the enemy will not be able to hold out for long. As long as Linlang promises not to kill prisoners after surrender, they are willing to surrender.

Although they were an army, they were volunteers before that, and before that they were farmers digging for food in the soil. They were not from the regular army, so naturally they did not have much idea of ​​defending their country, they just wanted to survive.

Since you just want to survive, it's okay to fight a battle with a favorable wind, but once you fight a battle with an unfavorable wind, you will surrender as long as you find that you will not die if you surrender.

Linlang, on the other hand, had a good reputation, and I had never heard of them killing prisoners. They would only kill the captives if they were proven to have committed serious crimes. And this crime also referred to crimes committed outside the battlefield. If someone killed someone from Linlang in a fight, it would not be considered a crime that required beheading, and they would be released after doing some labor for a few years.

Since they will not die, they will be released. And it is said that Linlang distributes land and does not collect taxes. Linlang has been publicizing this matter everywhere in recent years in order to undermine the people's morale of other forces. So naturally, those who are fighting have more thoughts. Many people don't want to fight anymore, and some even want to go to Linlang. It's just that it was dangerous to sneak over there alone before, and now they are captured as prisoners. Can't they go over smoothly?
As long as they didn't kill Linlang's people and didn't commit other illegal crimes, I heard that they wouldn't be imprisoned if they were caught, but would be released directly into the territory.

Is there anything better than this? So it is normal for the people of the capital to flee or surrender when Linlang's people come to besiege a city.

Relying on this method, some newly occupied cities in the capital that did not have many capable generals garrisoned were quickly captured by Linlang. The rest were those that were not easy to capture, and Linlang was not in a hurry and just slowly built up the cities that had already been occupied.

Linlang is not in a hurry to unify the country quickly, because as long as she takes steady steps, she will definitely be able to unify the world in the end.

As more and more people fled from the capital, Ban Li heard about the real princess and the fake princess. He heard that because the midwife switched the real princess, the emperor of the previous dynasty exterminated all nine clans, including his parents. Of course, his family was exterminated not only because of the midwife's involvement, but also because of his family's abuse of the real princess.

Ban Li heard that his relative the midwife was executed along with her entire clan by the previous emperor, and that his parents were also killed by the previous emperor, and that this previous emperor was actually Linlang's father. He couldn't help but feel a little conflicted.

Although she knew that this had nothing to do with Linlang, after all, Linlang was a victim. She was stolen out of the palace by her relatives and turned from a princess enjoying wealth and glory into a little girl from a poor family. She was treated like a slave by that family and could not even get enough to eat. No matter what, both her relative the midwife and her family deserved to die. After all, if she was treated like this, she would definitely hate the other person to death and wish them dead. So Linlang could not be blamed for the death of her family, especially since it was not Linlang who killed them, but her father. Linlang had run away before and had no idea about these things, so it had nothing to do with her and she could not be blamed.

But...after all, they were her parents and grandparents, who were killed by Linlang's father. So there must be a paternal grudge between the two of them, right?
Although... her family deserved death and they deserved to be beheaded for what they did, she couldn't continue to be good sisters with Linlang without any grudges...

So Chestnut is very conflicted.

Linlang noticed Banli's confusion and asked her what was wrong. Banli did not hide anything and told her how upset she was.

Afraid that Linlang might misunderstand, she explained: "I don't have a problem with you, it's just... I don't know how to say it, and I feel conflicted."

Linlang nodded and said, "This is human nature. Your reaction is normal. Since you are a little uncomfortable facing me now, this is also easy to solve. I will send you to work somewhere else, and we will stay far away from each other. Do you think this is okay? If you feel uncomfortable working under me, you can also not work and become a rich man. You should have made a lot of money over the years. I will give you some money. Even if you don't work, you will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life. How do you think?"

Ban Li thought for a moment and said, "I'll transfer to another place first."

Over the years, she has learned a lot of knowledge in Linlangnong's school and is no longer the illiterate person she used to be. Of course, the main reason is that she felt that she was Linlang's sister at the time, so she naturally had to help her and take the lead. Therefore, she worked hard to learn various things, including martial arts and cultural knowledge. Therefore, she has been working by Linlang's side and is Linlang's trusted right-hand man.

Now that I have been transferred to this place, I can naturally do it.

Linlang did not object and immediately transferred Banli to the local place.

After that, Banli started working in the local area, but did not resign. Linlang thought that it was probably because Banli went to the local area and they didn't meet her so often, so she felt better and was able to continue working.

Without mentioning that Ban Li knew that his family was killed by the previous emperor, it is said that Lin Lang is a princess of the previous dynasty. Not many people in the world know this. The two people who pretended to be the princess and the prince consort knew it, but they were sent to prison. Ban Li knew it, but she didn't tell outsiders. In this way, the people in Liujia Village might know Lin Lang like that cousin, but they couldn't see Lin Lang. Even if they saw Lin Lang, Lin Lang would not admit that she was a princess. She was so different now that others couldn't recognize her. So naturally no one knew her identity. (End of this chapter)
