Volume Sixteen Han and Tang Dynasties Chapter 1732 Turning Point(1/2)
No matter at any time, the common people are the worst. I don’t know who proposed this first, but from the day it was proposed, it was constantly proven to be correct, because the real world is always constantly proof of repeated proofs.
How miserable is the common people?
It would be fine if the things you grow are stolen by others. We cannot save our food, so why are we still alive?
Yes, it was indeed like this at the beginning. If you rob food and don’t have life, the people will still have a little pitiful no matter how hard it is. They will choose to survive. But now it is not possible. Li Chenggong’s approach is to rob food and die. Unless you are willing to work with others, he will not only rob your food, but also rob your life.
Although soldiers are ordinary people who pick up weapons, not every ordinary person is willing to pick up weapons and become soldiers. Many ordinary people are pacifists, and their greatest joy in life is their wives, children, and warm kangs.
As long as these are all, they are already very satisfied. They have never thought about other fame, wealth, wealth, and never thought about using force to steal other people's things for themselves.
Li Chenggong's approach was very disgusting to the people. They tried to resist, but the facts proved that they did not have the ability to resist, because before they resist, they had to make themselves a soldier and a commoner who picked up weapons in order to truly dominate their own destiny.
The only way to survive is to surrender. The people are not willing to become Li Chenggong's hawk. They harm more people for him, but they have no choice. For their own life, they can only give up the idea of planning for others' lives. Because almost everyone has this idea when facing a life-and-death decision, all Li Chenggong's troops are growing stronger and stronger, and in just one month, they have grown from the initial two thousand people to the current 200,000 people.
Two hundred thousand people, which is almost the number of troops of any of the seven powerful countries in the Tianfeng Continent back then. In addition to the Mandala Empire, which is famous for its military, the conventional troops of the other six countries are basically the same number. The military scale that those countries have built in decades, Li Chenggong has achieved it in just one month.
To a certain extent, Li Chenggong can be regarded as a genius, because only geniuses can reach a height that others cannot reach in their lifetime in such a short time. But if Li Chenggong's method can be called a talent method, then such method can be done by everyone. No, it should be said that all the cold-blooded people in the world can do it.
"Isn't 200,000 enough?" Avril asked Li Chenggong. This time she could be said to have made great efforts for Li Chenggong. The 200,000 troops were all brought back by her. Li Chenggong was just watching on the side, and he had never personally commanded any war against the people. If using troops to the people is considered a war.
"Is there already 200,000?" Li Chenggong smiled happily, his eyes were so proud that he could not hide it even if he wanted to hide it.
"By yesterday, we already had an army of 200,000." Avril replied tirelessly.
"Well, then that's how it comes first."
*********************************************************
What's like this first?
Hu You may have guessed how Li Chenggong quickly gathered the troops. But he absolutely did not think about how Li Chenggong would use the powerful power in his hands after gathering a large number of troops.
What Li Chenggong was going to do? Avril couldn't guess at first. After that, Avril knew without guessing it, because Li Chenggong had already shown her.
What is Li Chenggong doing? When Hu You received the latest information, he was stunned for a while before he understood Li Chenggong's purpose. Li Chenggong's purpose was very simple. He wanted to destroy the entire world.
Yes, this is Li Chenggong's purpose. After capturing twenty-plus civilians, he did not pull these soldiers who were already called civilians to attack any force, but instead let the civilians build the long city wall on the spot.
"Is Li Chenggong going to build a new city?" Hongye saw what Hu You seemed to have guessed, so he no longer thought about it.
Hu You looked at Hongye for a long time before saying hard: "Li Chenggong is not going to build a new city, he is going to build a Great Wall."
Hongye thought for a while, but could not figure out the difference between the Great Wall and the New City. Fortunately, Hu You knew that Hongye could not understand the relationship between the two, so he took the initiative to explain: "If you guessed wrongly, Li Chenggong wanted to divide the Tianfeng Continent into many, many pieces."
As Hu You drew lines on the map with the pen in his hand, Hongye really understood Li Chenggong's intention. After understanding, Hongye's face changed color.
"Didn't Li Chenggong's approach destroy the entire Tianfeng Continent?"
There is an old saying: If you want to be rich, build roads first. This statement seems to be inaccurate to use it here, but this statement can at least show that the road is more important. The onshore transportation in Tianfeng Continent is not very developed, and the existing roads have been severely damaged due to years of war, and they are just barely used.
If it can be used barely, it can be used at least. Li Chenggong built the Great Wall, which means that he would directly block all the roads.
Without transportation, let alone economy, even walking has changed problems. People cannot move and commodities cannot move. Tianfeng Continent will become a stagnant pool in Li Chenggong's hands.
Huang Jinfeng understood the serious consequences of Li Chenggong doing this better than Hongye, and said anxiously: "We must not let Li Chenggong do this!"
Hu You smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I know this, but what can we do now?"
Li Chenggong now has 200,000 people. As long as he is willing, he can develop into two million, or even twenty million at any time. In his eyes, the common people are not human beings, and they will be arrested after they die, and they will have as much as they want, and they will not be afraid of any losses.
Li Chenggong can do this. Can Hu You do this?
"Are we just let Li Chenggong do whatever he wants?" Huang Jinfeng also knew that Hu You was in a dilemma, but if this continues, Li Chenggong will destroy the entire continent.
"Maybe we should change our strategy." Hongye looked at Hu You and said in a deep voice.
Hu You nodded, shook his head again, and sighed: "Let me think about it again."
*********************************************************
Li Chenggong is a headache-provoking person. He can always come up with a headache-provoking method. His methods cannot be called cleverness. If you have to use an adjective, it is more appropriate to say shameless.
All Li Chenggong's methods are about hurting the people. Before, they were massacres of the people, but now they are arresting the people as hard laborers. The same method can be done if it were Hu You, but Hu You cannot do it as ruthless as Li Chenggong.
"well……"
Hu You sighed heavily. In the past few days, his sighs were obviously much more than before. Because no matter how he thought, he could not come up with a way to deal with Li Chenggong. Li Chenggong's move was so poisonous.
Actually, there is really no way?
That's not. From the minute that I received the news and analyzed Li Chenggong's purpose, Hu You had already thought of a solution. It was just this method that Hu You could not use, and Wushu could not use the same method to deal with Li Chenggong.
There are many ordinary people in Tianfeng Continent, and Li Chenggong can arrest him. Hu You can also arrest him. Even if he arrests, he will not be much slower than Li Chenggong.
But so what? If you fight hard like this, you won’t die if you fight. If Hu You also uses a method like Li Chenggong to capture the people in large quantities and make them sacrifice a lot of people like cannon fodder, then what is the difference between Li Chenggong and Hu You?
"But we seem to have no real way." Hongye reminded Hu You.
The problem with Li Chenggong is a solution that may still be solved one day earlier. If it is too late, the power of success will become bigger and bigger. If it is too late, it will be even more difficult to destroy Li Chenggong.
"Do you want me to sacrifice the lives of ordinary people?" Hu You looked at Hongye dissatisfied. This thought had flashed out in his heart many times and was suppressed many times. He was really afraid that when it flashed out again, he would be powerless to suppress it.
Hongye said: "I didn't want you to sacrifice the people, but now we have no other way. Sacrifice is always inevitable, isn't it?"
"I..." Hu You was speechless for the first time. It was not because Hu You's mouth became stupid, but because he couldn't find a reason to refute Hongye.
Li Chenggong's current situation is already there. He has 200,000 ordinary people in his hands. Whether they are coolies or soldiers, if they want to defeat Li Chenggong, they must face these ordinary people. This is a situation that Hu You is unwilling to face and has to face.
To fight with Li Chenggong, you must recruit more soldiers. If there are more soldiers on both sides, the battlefield will become infinitely larger, and more people will die at that time. This is a dead knot. No one can untie it except using the method of Hongye. Even Hu You hasn't even thought of a good way to untie him.
"Report, Miss Weiwei sent someone to send a message..."
*********************************************************
"Brother Hu You."
"How is it, is Chen Dali awake?" Hu You received the news that Chen Dali had woken up after receiving the news that he had been awakened by Weiwei.
"I just woke up in the afternoon. I had already checked him. I didn't find any discovery yet. But I still need more time to observe it to be sure..."
Weiwei said a long passage, but Hu You didn't listen to a single word. Before Weiwei finished speaking, Hu You interrupted and said, "Can you go in and see him now?"
As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is true. Although Weiwei will not deceive Hu You, she said that Chen Dali has woken up, then Chen Dali must have woken up. However, Hu You still couldn't let go if you didn't see Chen Dali's situation with your own eyes.
"Oh, okay, come with me." Weiwei also found that it was not the time to talk about those things, so she quickly led the way for Hu You and asked Hu You to meet Chen Dali first before talking.
"Young Marshal." Chen Dali struggled to get up when he saw Hu You.
"Learn down, lie down. I just woke up, what else happened to me?" Hu You rushed over and pushed Chen Dali back to bed. Hu You was already very happy to hear Chen Dali say "Young Marshal". This proves that Chen Dali was completely awake and was no longer under Li Chenggong's control.
Chen Dali lay on the bed and smiled, "I finally found my hands and feet. Even if I hurt them again, I will be happy. Young marshal, you don't know how painful it is to grow on my body, but I can't control it."
Chen Dali is not a person who talks a lot. But after so long, the depression that has been suppressed in his heart can finally burst out. Even if he says a few more words, it is completely right.
"I know, I know..." Seeing Chen Dali so happy, Hu You was also happy for him. Now I saw that this time the decision was completely correct. If it weren't for having confidence in Weiwei and gambled, Chen Dali was still lying on the bed, like a living dead person. For him, it would be true that life is worse than death.
"Young Marshal, what's wrong with you?" Chen Dali saw Hu You's eyes wet. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. He has been with Hu You for so many years, but he has never seen Hu You cry. But now, is Hu You crying? Chen Dali really couldn't believe it.
"No, nothing. I'm happy, happy. How about it? Is there any place that feels uncomfortable? If there is something wrong, you should tell me it immediately. Weiwei is here, and she will find a way to help you solve it."
Chen Dali smiled and said, "I know, this time it's all Miss Weiwei that I can become a real person again. Also, thank you Young Marshal."
"Xie Weiwei is right. What did you do? I didn't do anything." Hu You said in confusion.
Chen Dali said seriously: "Thank you for your decision for me. In fact, although I can't move and my consciousness is not so clear, I still have some senses about some things. I feel everything you do for me."
"Okay, we are brothers, brothers who share life and death. Everything we do is the right thing to do. If you choose you, you will do the same, right?"
Chen Dali nodded with certainty and said, "Of course, even if you go up to the sword mountain and the sea of fire, as long as the young marshal gives the order, Chen Dali will definitely follow the death!"
"Well said that, I, Old Zhu, have said a long time ago that Chen Dali is definitely a man." After receiving the news that Chen Dali had woken up, Zhu Daneng hurriedly put down his affairs and rushed over.
Chen Dali's wakeup adds a fresh vitality to the depressed air in Yuncheng. At least at this moment, Hu You was in a very good mood.
*********************************************************
Considering that Chen Dali had just woken up and had not fully recovered and needed more rest, although Hu You and his friends had a lot of things to say to Chen Dali, they had to leave early.
After Hu You and his wife left, Chen Dali slept for more than two hours and woke up again. Over the past year, he had been sleeping far and wide and woke up. He was really afraid of sleeping. If he could not sleep, he would try his best not to sleep. Even if he just opened his eyes and did nothing, it would be better than to sleep after he could.
"Hey, you're awake, I'm still asking you to have a meal." When Weiwei came in, she saw Chen Dali staring blankly with her eyes open and laughed.
Chen Dali was actually the happiest person who was not Hu You but Wei Wei. Because she finally did one more thing for Hu You, and this thing could make Hu You happy. As long as Hu You are happy, Wei Wei will be very happy.
"Miss Weiwei." Weiwei can be said to be Chen Dali's rebirth parents, and Chen Dali respects Weiwei very much.
Weiwei was not used to being called a lady, and said with a slightly red face: "General Chen Dali, just call me Weiwei. Although we haven't met for a long time, we have known each other for more than ten years. You don't need to be so kind to me."
Chen Dali smiled readily and said, "Okay, then I'll call you Weiwei. Don't call me any general, just call me Chen Dali or Brother Chen."
"Then I'll call you Brother Chen, Brother Chen, are you hungry? Can we have dinner?" said slightly happy.
Chen Dali touched his stomach and smiled, "I feel a little hungry after hearing what you said. Okay, let's have a meal."
Yuncheng's current food supply is affected by the overall situation in the Tianfeng Continent. It is not very optimistic, but Weiwei is a place where special care is received, and the basic food supply is still guaranteed.
"Weiwei, you see, I have been sleeping for so long. I don't know at all about the current situation in Tianfeng Continent. Can you tell me about the current situation?"
Chen Dali ate very quickly, which was a habit of soldiers and could not be changed. He had already slowed down as much as possible. But when he finished eating, Weiwei only ate one-third of it.
"Of course there is no problem, but I don't know much."
"It's okay, just say as much as you know." Chen Dali slept for so long. Even if Weiwei didn't know, she knew much more than him. Chen Dali would naturally not let it go.
