back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 822 Panic
The change in Li Rizun's attitude is largely rooted in the panic of the people of Jiaozhi.

Even if the news of the "invasion" of the Han army is prevented from spreading, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and the speed at which rumors spread is astounding.

Cochin folks have turned tens of thousands of Han troops into hundreds of thousands of Han troops.It even became more and more magical, saying that the Han army was good at using demons and could kill people hundreds of steps away, similar to the legend of the sword fairy, who could take the enemy's head thousands of miles away.Wherever he went, not a single blade of grass grew, and all the people in the city were slaughtered.Some Han soldiers even eat human flesh raw...

Such constant rumors are extremely frightening, and can hardly stop children from crying at night.Rumors also spread to Li Rizun's ears. He has always known Fangmin's mouth better than Fangchuan.It's just such a big news, it's impossible for the people to completely suppress it.Although they tried their best to send people out to refute the rumors, they had little effect.

Except for Shenglong City, people who fled from the city have already appeared in some cities.Most of these people dragged their families and fled to the mountains and dense forests in order to escape the attacking Han army.

This panic also affected the defenders in the city.Every day I worry about when the Han army will come, and it has become a shadow of a cup of bow and a snake, and the grass and trees are all soldiers.

It is already a miracle that there are no lunatics in such highly tense nerves of the Cochin soldiers.

Dashun is like a dark cloud floating over Jiaozhi, with thunder but no rain.

In Shenglong City, in the renovated Longde Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Han army is really deceiving people too much. Why don't we gather a large army and take it down in one fell swoop? It will be gradually eroded by the Han army, and Jiaozhi is in danger!"

After all, it is the civil servants in the Li Dynasty who have received much more information than ordinary people.Li Rizun also knew for a long time that wherever the Dashun imperial army went, they did not harm the people, and even shouted the slogan "Don't plunder to death from starvation, and don't demolish houses to death from freezing".But this is only for the common people. In the captured states and cities, the official and military rations piled up in the granaries were often looted.What the imperial army could not take with them, they distributed to the local people.

In this way, a very strange phenomenon appeared. People in the prefectures that the Han army did not break through all said that the Han army was a devil and wanted to eat people; He offered to be an auxiliary soldier of the Han army, just to have a full mouthful of food.

Cochin people, in fact, life is quite bitter.The Li Dynasty fought all the year round, and the taxes were too heavy, and the people had no way to survive.Except for some scholars who have spare money at home and soldiers who can eat enough, the rest of the common people rarely have enough to eat.After a year of hard work, he had to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables to satisfy his hunger.

These Jiaozhi people who wanted to be auxiliary soldiers were also frightened of hunger, and they were all skinny. No wonder they were called "monkeys" by the Han people, and they were extremely malnourished!It's no wonder that they would do "Yue treacherous" (Li Chao called himself Da Yue), because they had enough food to eat with the imperial army, who cares who the emperor is?
After fighting for so many years, every year it is said that as long as a certain city is captured, there will be enough to eat.Cochin youths are mostly enticed to join the army in this way.The lies of the rulers of the Li Dynasty deceived them for a long time.Those who join the army can indeed have enough to eat, but those who do not join the army live in a more embarrassing situation.

The soldiers who died on the battlefield did not even have a copper plate in their families.Don't look at Li Chao's aggression now, who wants to use knives and guns against Champa and Chenla, in fact, he has already been strong from outside, and the future is overdrawn.What Li Rizun is most afraid of is that this kind of situation will happen. If someone beats him into the territory of Jiaozhi, then the lies he uses to fool the people will be at risk of being exposed.

"No, it can't go on like this!"

Although Li Rizun knew that these Han troops were a serious problem, he had nothing to do.

"Jiaozhi can use the army, and they are all in Shenglong City and Xuanguangzhou City, where are the troops?"

Fan Yi, Zuo Weiwei asked suspiciously.

The person who spoke earlier was Pei Jiayou, a scholar of the Hall of Civilization, shaking his head and saying: "I have 24 routes in Da Yue, four prefectures, thirteen prefectures and three villages. The total strength of two or two can reach more than [-]. How can I say that I have no army?" Huh?"

Fan Yi sneered: "On the 24th road, only the [-]th road is really controlled by the imperial court? For the other [-] roads, there are state shepherds and chiefs in four prefectures, thirteen prefectures and three villages. They have long held the idea of ​​watching the fire from the other side. The court is a joke. Letting them send troops is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger!"

"You can't say that, the twelve roads, the four prefectures, the thirteen prefectures and the three villages are all the territory of Da Yue? Why is it so big that the more difficult it is, how can it stand by and watch! Don't you hear that under the nest, there are eggs? Lips are dead, teeth are cold, False Taoism destroys Guo, especially vividly in my mind!"

Hearing that Pei Jiayou was dropping his schoolbag, Fan Yi said disdainfully: "How can these state shepherds and chiefs sincerely resist the superiority of the Han soldiers? Dashun friends, if you can help Dashun conquer Yue, you will not hesitate to reward me in the future. If you resist to the end, you will be destroyed. With such threats and lures, how can these state shepherds treat me sincerely?"

The civil and military officials present all nodded after hearing Fan Yi's words.It has to be said that Dashun's scheming move was indeed very skillful.Taking advantage of the conflict between the Li Dynasty and the local ethnic minorities, they gradually turned enemies into friends and began to target the Li Dynasty.If it goes on for a long time, the originally weak foundation of Li Dynasty's rule will definitely be shaken.

Although at this time there is no crazy words like "the emperor takes turns, come to my house next year", but who doesn't want to be in power, life and death are all in their own mind?
Human nature has great desires, which change according to the times, and have nothing to do with loyalty and treachery.Just like a person's desires, they change with the passage of time.When you are young, you may want a piece of candy very much. When you are young, you may want a wife and a house; when you are middle-aged, you hope to marry concubines and have many children; when you are old, you want to have grandchildren. Enjoying family happiness... It's just an unsatisfactory thing in life, eight or nine out of ten, how can everything go well?
As a human being, you have desires; the higher you are, the greater your desires.As a shepherd of a state, he would never dare to hope to be an emperor on weekdays.But now they seem to see a glimmer of opportunity, they will not be tempted!
Human nature, this is human nature!
As an emperor, Li Rizun's understanding of human nature is not very good, but he can still see such a superficial problem.

"Then according to Zuo Weiwei's opinion, what should I do?"

During the war, Li Rizun still preferred to trust the words of generals more.For a poor person like Pei Jiayou, besides dropping his schoolbag and talking about things, the suggestions he put forward are probably just the fantasy of literati, and it is taken for granted that there is no feasibility.However, the generals' suggestions can often wake up Li Rizun.

"Although I, Da Yue, is not weak, compared to Da Shun, I'm still a bit weaker..."
