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

Chapter 52
After hearing this, there was only one thought in the minds of the officials.

The emperor is crazy.

After winning two battles in a row, he was dazzled by the joy of the big victory.

As an emperor, in a defensive battle, you personally lead troops into battle, forget it.

After all, with only one city left in the big man, it is already a last stand.

If you lose, even if the emperor is still there, the country will be destroyed. It is better for the emperor to come to the battle to boost morale.

Now that the situation has improved a little bit, if you want to regain your homeland and attack the war, do you still want to conquer by yourself?

Or attack the city with 3000 people?
It doesn't seem to work either.

Wen Wu thought about it for a second, the emperor was able to break through Zhang Huaiyang's camp by digging tunnels, which shows that he has done a lot of research on this one.

And "acupoint attack" is a method of siege, and when used in siege, the effect will only be better.

Even if there are only 3000 people, maybe a county can be recovered.

But even if the emperor and his old man, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, descended to earth, dug tunnels and overturned three counties and cities, what would he do?
It is not impossible to leave a thousand soldiers and horses to guard a city, and Qiongzhou City is in the middle to support it.

But when the first city was attacked, there were 2000 soldiers and horses, and a thousand people were left to guard the city. When it came to the second city, there were only [-] people left.

In the third city, there are only 1000 people left!

With 1000 people, even digging a tunnel is difficult!
Eight hundred imperial guards dug the tunnels in Qiongzhou City for nearly forty days!
For forty days, even if Zhang Huaiyang was deaf and blind, he knew how to send troops back to help, and if the reinforcements crawled back at the speed of a turtle, they would have reached it!

What's more, there are only 1000 people, and there is no need for Donghu's Southern Army to return to aid. Just the defenders of the county city can easily handle it!

Could it be the aggressive method?

After all, Zhao Ning was still a young man, and it was his first time to go to court, so he was the first to lose his composure:
"Your Majesty, don't provoke your generals any more!"

"The last general was born to die in battle, so why not be afraid of death!"

"One thousand! Just one thousand!"

Zhao Ning is a young man with a strong and unruly spirit and a high fighting spirit. He takes a step forward, his eyes are resolute, calm and firm:
"The final general is willing to issue a military order. He only needs a thousand soldiers and horses, and he will definitely take Zhenpu County for His Majesty!"

Chao Wenwu looked at the unhesitating expression on Zhao Ning's face, as if he could imagine a scene of a thousand soldiers and horses ready to attack Zhenpu County.

But this scene was quickly shattered.

There is nothing wrong with courage and determination.

However, it is impossible for 1000 people to take Zhenpu County, which is defended by Donghu people.

Lian Hansheng even wanted to slap him in the face, but you brat is still rolling, the old youtiao knows that there is something in His Majesty's words!
Liu Ke nodded slightly, then glanced at Xiao Yuanchang again.

Xiao Yuanchang understood in seconds, what His Majesty said just now, that Yu Jia personally conscripted three thousand soldiers and horses to seize the three counties was not a joke, nor was it some kind of aggressive general, but he had a well-thought-out plan and had long expected it.

For these diehards, it is enough to express their consent:

"Since Your Majesty has such great ambitions and wants to recover Qiongzhou, I will follow you to death, and vow to restore the Han Dynasty with Your Majesty and return to the old capital!"

But even so, he was still a little worried.

3000 people take three counties, even if you call the door, they will not answer you!

Lian Hansheng was also a little worried in his heart, Qi Yanheng was fierce before, but in his eyes, he still wanted to go with the emperor, so he felt more at ease:

"Your Majesty is wise and mighty. Donghu people are no more than snakes and rats. They are not to be feared. In the end, the general is willing to be your majesty's vanguard!"

Zhao Ning wanted to call for a fight, but Yue Shaoqian quietly tugged on his sleeves before stopping.

But the court was divided into three factions, and the diehard faction was worried about the safety of the emperor. The emperor also used the record of two victories to tell them what it means to be the emperor on a donkey, so they will not object too obviously.

Most of them have the mentality of Lian Hansheng, who wants to go with the emperor and protect the lord with his body.

The neutral faction and the capitulation faction opposed it again and again.

The ministers of the neutral faction are all wily and calculating figures. Although there have been two big victories, they were all defensive battles, and they all used tricks to crush the rout.

When it comes to siege battles and when it is necessary to face head-to-head, the Eastern Hu soldiers are undoubtedly stronger than the Han soldiers.

Therefore, they all had some scruples. What if 3000 people were lost in vain, but what if the emperor was also folded in?
But they don't want to show it too obviously, so they said euphemistically:
"Your Majesty is merciful. Although Donghu has lost two games in a row, it is still stronger than our army."

"Your Majesty has already defeated Donghu in defending against the enemy this time, showing the majesty of my majesty."

"At this time, it is time to cultivate life and rest, and raise food and grass. If we divide our troops to attack the city, I'm afraid it will cause commotion, which is not conducive to long-term stability."

"It may give Zhang Huaiyang an opportunity to attack Qiongzhou City again."

"Your Majesty, please think twice before acting!"

Liu Ke sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, unmoved.

How can you reel in the hook if you haven't finished catching the fish yet?

Seeing that the emperor was silent, some people came out to pay respects.

"Your Majesty is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. Although Donghu was defeated, the entire army was not wiped out."

"The three counties of Qiongzhou have been occupied for a long time. The Donghu people must be well-run and well-defended."

"Besides, Zhang Huaiyang is a steady and thoughtful person, and he will definitely consider the possibility of His Majesty pursuing the victory and regaining the lost ground."

"If His Majesty goes deep alone, he may be ambushed."

"Our army should still focus on defending the city, and slowly consume Donghu troops to avoid greater losses."

Look at this, is it logical?
Consuming with Donghu, the people of Donghu dominate the world, how can the land of a big Han be able to afford it!
If you really listen to these people's nonsense because of your timidity, the big man will not be able to afford it. These timid, afraid of Donghu, and just want to save their lives and status, they will definitely be the first to lead the way and surrender!
"enough."

Liu Ke silently wrote down the names of several representatives, and then said:

"I have made up my mind. Zhao Ning will follow me on the campaign. I will lead the army out of the city tonight. The rest will wait to guard Qiongzhou City. If something goes wrong, I will leave my head alone."

"Back to court, I want to recharge my batteries."

"Your Majesty"

There were still people who wanted to persuade them, but Liu Ke didn't give them a chance.

He was very clear about the plans of those ministers who wanted to keep him in Qiongzhou City.

Didn't he just see that the emperor planned to deal heavy blows to the four rebellious families, afraid that he would be implicated, and waited for something to happen, so he could intercede with the emperor!
The letter is burned, so there will be no worries, but there is no guarantee that the four rebellious families will talk nonsense!

Only when those four families are all dead, this group of people will feel at ease!

"Take off the gown and go to the folks to have a look!"

"Take a good look at the three dogs on the ground!"

"Think about yourself again, show me half an hour, and take care of yourself."

The officials stared at the corpses in silence, they hoped that there were corpses of Yuwen, Wu, Zhou, and Zheng in front of them.

Before Liu Ke left, he went to the prison.

Jia Wuji in the prison, wearing a very neat prison uniform with a tightly buttoned skirt, looks extraordinarily elegant
Maybe it's because of sitting on the straw mat for a long time, the movements of the limbs are a little stiff, but they don't feel rigid, but appear calm and polite.

When Liu Ke came in front of Jia Wuji, the old man's eyes were clear and full of brilliance, and his brows were peaceful and calm.

A school of ancient celebrity demeanor.

Liu Ke was shocked in his heart. If there was no system to watch this, who would have known that it was an old silver coin? ? !

"I have already shown "Governance of the People" to the ministers at the court meeting."

"If you want to get the name of the old gentleman, it will be famous all over the world in a few days."

This thing will not only have a certain impact on the big man, but also on the Donghu. After all, the concept of class exists in any era and anywhere.

After Jia Wuji heard this, his eyes flickered.

Now his wealth and life are guaranteed, what he was looking for was never fame, nor was he seeking to get rid of family status, everything was just for safety.

Seek yourself first, then others.

The same is true for Liu Ke, who has never planned to reform in accordance with "Governing the People" from the beginning to the end.

He thought that the monarch and his ministers looked at each other and smiled, showing a tacit understanding, but Jia Wuji didn't respond at all, still looking like a celebrity just now.

What twists and turns, the old man doesn't know!

This old man just played "Governing the People" to fight for the poor families in the world!

Liu Ke had no choice but to smile awkwardly, chat for a while, and then began to order the business:
"Old man, after Yue Shaobao delivers the five thousand troops, you can go out and raid the house."

He took out another list, which recorded the names of the courtiers who had come forward at the court meeting and asked him to stay in Qiongzhou City.

"These people were also killed together."

Jia Wuji nodded, and used the excuse of rebellion to kill those people, saying that they were accomplices confessed by Yuwen's family.

The letter was burned, but the person is still there!
Cut off the first bird with a knife and kill these representatives, further weakening the voice of the nobles of the family.

And the remaining important officials of the aristocratic families in the court will continue to choose to watch, just like the few ministers who were dragged out.

The knife didn't cut him on the neck.

Liu Ke doesn't mind killing ten people, hundreds or thousands.

Even if he kills 10,000+ people, as long as the world is still his, there is no problem.

This time, he only harmed the interests of a certain person, or a dozen or so people, among the nobles of the family, instead of harming their overall interests.

He even spread out the "Management of the People" in front of the ministers of the family and told them that I knew what was wrong with the late emperor and what to do.

But then they burned all the "letters found from the family of the rebels" and told them, I pity you and don't do this, as long as you restrain yourself a little, it will be fine.

This collection and release not only killed people, but also ensured the stability of the city.

After all, he went there for ten days and a half months, and he couldn't come back. The rear must be stable enough.

Jia Wuji is so smart, he understood the emperor's methods in an instant, and he admired him in his heart, so he bowed down heartily:
"I am willing to hold the sword for His Majesty."

Liu Ke nodded.

If you want to be a lonely minister, then be completely a lonely minister.

Yue Shaoqian is loyal and upright, so it's inconvenient to know about many cruel and merciless tasks; Xiao Yuan often comes from a noble family, so it's inconvenient to do;

Now it happens to be handed over to Jia Wuji.

The knife is delivered to the door, so it must be used well.

"I'm back, and I want to see blood flow into rivers."
