It's all abstract destiny, you're one emperor through the ages

Chapter 28 Xiao Yuanchang's Three Admonitions

Xiao Yuanchang was haggard and haggard. These days, he was very tired from preparing food and grass:

"Your Majesty, why bother?"

"In order to build these useless things, countless money and food were spent. Aren't you afraid that Donghu's army will invade the city?"

"At that time, even if there are tens of thousands of towers, what's the use?"

Needless to say, if they have the ability to build tens of thousands of towers, how can Donghu people dare to fight big men?

Large-scale construction is also a symbol of national strength.

Liu Ke just smiled and kept arguing:

"Don't the Donghu people also sing operas, and the Tongtian Terrace is almost finished, wouldn't it be more wasteful to give up halfway?"

"Ai Qing, don't ask too many questions."

"His Majesty."

Liu Ke simply changed the subject: "How much food is there in the city?"

Xiao Yuanchang was taken aback for a moment, this was too blunt, but the word "Cunliang" triggered an instinctive reaction, and he subconsciously replied:

"There are still ten days left."

"Big Dou or Little Dou?"

"Big fight."

Liu Ke shouted in his heart, ten days ago, there was less than ten days of food and grass, ten days later, the food and grass are still available for ten days.

I don't know what method Xiao Yuan used to get food and grass, it's really amazing.

But he didn't show too much, just waved his hands, Hua Chengyu had become a skilled worker, and kicked Xiao Yuanchang out.

When Hua Chengyu came back, Liu Ke went down to the construction site again.

"This time, there is basically nothing to pay attention to during the excavation process, but when the tunnel is completed, we need to make more preparations."

"Set up some camouflage or traps at the exit to avoid being discovered by the Donghu people, and attack the city along the tunnel."

"In addition, we have to leave an escape route, and cover it up more, so that when we come back through the tunnel, we can get rid of the pursuers."

As time went by, the guards all became good tunnel diggers one by one.

Liu Ke is also thinking about how to spend so much effort to cultivate a batch of bipedal hole digging machines, thanks for only one use!

When counterattacking the Central Plains, there should be opportunities.

Another ten days passed, counting the time, a whole month has passed.

"Your Majesty, I beg your pardon to speak bluntly, this is the way to die!"

Today Xiao Yuanchang stopped fighting with Huacheng Yu, and kicked Huahua aside with a flying kick.

Liu Ke happened to pass by, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help applauding.

The civil servants of the big man are formidable. In the front, Yue Shaoqian rushed without a horse, and in the back, Xiao Yuan often kicked the guards.

Xiao Yuanchang didn't have much of a joke, and he was no longer the euphemism of the previous two persuasion, he shouted at the top of his voice:

"Your Majesty, it is time to concentrate our troops and food, and prepare to face the enemy instead of wasting time and resources on these meaningless projects!"

Liu Ke helped Hua Chengyu up, looked left and right, the Tongtian Terrace had been built, and the stage was still a little bit behind.

"Almost almost."

"What the hell!"

Xiao Yuanchang flicked his sleeves: "Your Majesty should demolish these buildings immediately to show his determination to resist the enemy. In this way, the materials consumed will be of some use!"

Liu Ke raised his head, ah, what Xiao Yuan often said is also a good way, it feels a bit like a last stand, maybe it can boost morale.

But not adopted.

Liu Ke didn't answer directly, but asked instead:
"How much food and grass are left in the city?"

"Available in ten days."

Xiao Yuanchang was speechless for a while, and he just asked for food and grass. In this situation, should he surrender directly when the food and grass are exhausted?
"Big fights and small fights?"

"Little Dou."

"Ten days later, I want to go to the city to see a play."

Liu Ke smiled: "Since the Donghu people have sung for so long, it would be rude for us not to listen."

"I don't know the difference between Donghu's drama and ours."

"His Majesty!"

No matter how fierce Xiao Yuanchang's tone was, he couldn't hide the deep disappointment in his heart.

Ten days later, there is not much food and grass left, should we gather the crowd to listen to the opera or gather the crowd to surrender? !

Liu Ke didn't care whether he was disappointed or lost his virginity, and he was kicked out directly:
"If Xiao Qing's family is free, you can also go with me and watch a good show!"

Another ten days passed.

Yang Zhong, who was full of surrender in the middle, also came once. On the surface, he was trying to dissuade him like Xiao Yuanchang, but he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

In the end, Liu Ke sent him to write the "Surrender Form". Unexpectedly, Yang Zhong was really cooperative. It is said that he started writing after returning home.

At this time, the Tongtian Terrace and the stage were all repaired.

Liu Ke took Dian Chu and eight hundred imperial guards into the tunnel entrance under the cover of night.

Seeing 800 people with serious faces, with the will to die.

This won't work, if you can save one death, you have to die one less, and it is best to live all of them.

It took so much effort to get such a few diehard loyalists, it's not worth it to lose all of them in a single battle.

Liu Ke's expression changed, he put his hands together in the direction of Tongtiantai, bowed, and began to fool around.

"I have counted my fate, and the hexagram says that one will succeed and all will die."

The eight hundred imperial guards waited, their faces became more and more serious, and their bones were dry. They were afraid and hesitated last time, and this time they will not repeat the same mistakes.

Nothing more than four words, regard death as home.

Liu Ke turned to face the crowd, waved his hands, and hummed softly:
"But I don't agree."

"In war, it's not about who dies, it's about who can survive to the end."

A few words made the guards feel more relaxed.

Only then was Liu Ke satisfied. He didn't want 800 people to take their lives to attack the Donghu base camp. It was enough to make a big noise so that the imperial army who arrived later could take advantage of the chaos.

Then began to assign tasks to the eight hundred imperial guards:
"Split one person to the tunnel near the city gate."

"The rest of the people will follow Dian Chu to Donghu Daying Camp."

"That's really only 800 people left."

Dian Chu counted confidently, eight hundred and one person minus one, it was eight hundred.

"What happened to 800 people?"

Liu Ke picked up a handful of soil, sprinkled it into the wine glass, took a sip, and poured the rest on the ground, leaving a water stain.

He looked at the bottomless tunnel, no longer the frivolousness of the previous days, with a fierce look in his eyes:

"800 people is 800 people, the first to strike first!"

Success or failure is here.

"First strike is stronger."

Dian Chu repeated in a low voice.

Liu Ke waited until he could no longer see the [-] people who had entered the tunnel before heading towards the city. The bright moonlight cast a lonely shadow.

"800 people are easy to say. If there are fewer people, it will be too awkward to shout."

on the city head.

The night is deep.

There are defenders on the top of the city patrolling continuously, and the city gate is wide open, but there are also many soldiers ambushing behind the city gate.

Yue Shaoqian wiped the sweat off his face, leaned against the wall, and sat down slowly.

It is really not difficult to defend the city. The emperor called Liu Ding Liujia to defend Kaifeng, so that the Donghu army did not dare to attack the city easily, which indeed reduced a lot of pressure on defense.

But the trouble is that the Donghu people built a stage under the city, and sent people to perform on stage whenever they had time, regardless of day or night.

ridicule.

How ironic!

It became difficult to hold down those soldiers who wanted to rush out and kill people.

After Yue Shaoqian managed to appease the soldiers with high morale and let them defend the city patiently, as a result, the soldiers who were seconded to build the Tongtian Terrace returned one after another.

It also brought news that the emperor was urging the fortification of Tongtiantai all day long, and he didn't even go to court.

This time it directly changed from being aggressive to being passive and avoiding war.

Either you are thinking, Your Majesty is so confused, all the construction works are going on at this time, and the things in the palace are still not letting go, and you are tossing around!There is no need to fight this battle.

Or he was thinking, His Majesty is so powerful, a Dharma altar can summon Liu Ding Liujia, if he uses the Tongtian Terrace, he can't summon a meteor from the sky?There is no need to fight this battle.

It's just that as time goes by, the supply of food and grass is in short supply, and the distribution of food in big buckets has become small buckets of food. More and more people are holding the first idea.

The summoned gods can't still eat the army rations, can they?

"General Yue, the soldiers are not stupid. In fact, there are many things in everyone's minds that are clear in the big fight's distribution of food instead of small fights."
