Chapter 522 Preparation for the war (III)

"They said these words just to give themselves a seemingly legitimate reason to send troops to my God Church."

Dongfang Ming's face was undisguised and sarcastic, "It was just an excuse to cover up his shamelessness in trying to embezzle our development achievements."

He glanced around the people sitting on the ground: "Does the Sun and Moon teach the people to be fished and enslaved? Can they determine if they write a few sour words on paper and pen?"

“What has the Sun and Moon Teaching done?

What we did, the people in the church had the most say.”

"What they said was that they did bad things themselves, did unfaithful things, and then suspected that we did too."

Dongfang Ming sneered: "Who is fishing and slapping the people, who is squeezing the people, and who is causing grievances in the world. Do we need to say more?"

"If the people really think that our God Church is not good, why wouldn't they rebel?

Why are there still refugees coming to our God Church?”

After he said this, Liu Heita and others looked much better.

"That's right, we're standing upright, afraid that they will say it?

!”

Cheng Yaojin waved his fist.

Ren Woxing, who was sitting on his side, also nodded: "They are bad guys."

Dongfang Ming was satisfied with Cheng Yaojin, he was just a heat field effect.

"Even if they come, we are not afraid. We are not afraid, we must be able to fight and win!"

Dongfang Ming waved his hand.

Everyone responded one after another.

"Yes, why are we afraid!"

"Justice is in the hearts of the people, and the court is unkind and unrighteous!"

"We have never been afraid of the Eighth Alliance, and are we still afraid of this?

!”

...

After encouraging the people's hearts, Dongfang Ming then began to arrange the next thing.

First, we promote the incompetence of the court among the people, discredit their Sun and Moon religion, and let the people judge and judge. Then we tell them that the court is coming and will deprive them of everything they are now. In order to maintain their current life and protect their lives, the people will respond positively.

Although Dongfangming's view of living standards is far inferior to that of future generations, for the people who have suffered a lot, Sun and Moon have a place to support the elderly and the young, and as long as they work hard, they will be rewarded. It is still a dreamlike life.

The war is imminent, and it is inevitable to mobilize the masses. Only when the Sun and Moon Cult can it become a piece of iron. When others bite them, they will have to knock off the front teeth of each other.

Then, the people were organized to build military defenses in addition to farming.

At the end of March and early April, according to the news from the front line, the imperial army was already on the road and was expected to arrive in the Jizhou area in mid-to-late May.

The news from the Ancient Ministry also said that due to the impact of last year's flood, the imperial court did not distribute much food to the Northwest Army.

After reading the news from Anbu, Dongfang Ming pinched his eyebrows tiredly: "Do they want to grab them all the way?"

I want to fight the Sun and Moon Sect without food. I guess I want to start harvesting wheat on the Sun and Moon Sect after May, and I want to fight while grabbing.

"I really want both face and inside."

Li Jing snorted coldly.

Xu Yeji also frowned: "This is the worst policy. Is there no one in the court?"

"What are the people in the court??"

Wang Bodang's face was quite ugly.

With a cold sneer, Dongfang Ming raised his head: "In the eyes of the court, the Sun and Moon Sect is a rebel. The people who surrender to ours are all rebellious. In their opinion, they are robbing things that originally belonged to the court."

He slowly straightened his waist: "The court now ignores the appearance of eating. Since they want to eat locally, we will let him not get it! I will continue to order the people on the border to try to harvest the wheat as early as possible, and harvest it as soon as possible when the wheat is ripe.

Also, let the troops on the border draw out people to help the people grab food."

Wang Bodang nodded and got up and was about to go out to send a mission. Xu Yeji suddenly said: "I asked someone to go to the border to promote it, saying that the court army was preparing to fight and loot the people as military supplies."

Li Jing laughed out loud after hearing this. This trick could be said to have directly filled the hatred of the people of the Sun and Moon Sect against the imperial army.

Even if the court army does not steal the people's food, the people will take preconceived ideas and be full of hostility towards the court army.

Dongfang Ming also smiled: "Mr. Xu said it well. If this is the case, the angry people will rush to collect the food. I am afraid that even a grain of wheat will not be left in the field."

By the way, after determining the direction of the attack of the imperial army, organize the people in relevant areas to retreat south. Although it is troublesome, it is also to avoid unnecessary casualties among the people due to the war."

Most of these people moved to the Sun and Moon Cult to avoid war. The Sun and Moon Cult needs to ensure that they will not be harmed by the war again.

In mid-May, the imperial army came, and General Zhou Fashang Zhou led the army.

The imperial army did not attack from Zhengzhou or Luoyi, but chose the Wancheng direction relatively close to the south.

On the Riyue Sect, Yuchi Jingde led his troops from Wancheng to defend the offensive of the court army. Dongfang Ming pointed out that Wang Bodang would go with him as Yuchi Jingde's military advisor to accompany him.

The two armies first fought on a small plain two hundred miles away in Wancheng. After a brief contact, the two armies retreated twenty miles each.

Half a month later, he met again in an open area a hundred miles away from Wancheng.

Inside the Sun and Moon Church.

"Report! There is frontline news."

A guard hurried into the chamber.

Li Jing and Xu Yeji, who were gesturing back and forth in front of the sand table in the meeting hall, paused, put down the long ruler in their hands, their eyes fell on the guard, and said in unison: "Speak bluntly!"

"There is an emergency ahead, the court army is in a fierce offensive, our army is defeated, and General Yuchi has retreated to Wancheng."

"What!"

Li and Xu both frowned.

"You go down first," Xu Yeji waved his hand to signal the guard to leave.

"promise!"

The guard bowed and turned around and walked out of the conference hall.

"The Northwest Frontier Defense Force is strong in blood and strong, and is really a strong enemy."

Li Jing's expression was a little solemn.

Xu Yeji also knew it and nodded in response.

Li Jing glanced at the sand table and turned to ask Xu Yeji beside him: "I'm afraid that Jingde and Bodang are under a lot of pressure. What does Brother Xu think?"

Xu Yeji did not rush to reply to him, but slowly picked up the red flag representing the Sun and Moon Sect in the box next to the sand table, inserted it into Wancheng, and then placed the green flag representing the imperial army in front of the red flag in turn.

After finishing what he had done, he looked up at Li Jing and said slowly: "Bodang and Jingde have their own way of dealing with it. If they really couldn't handle it, they would have sent a message back to ask for support."

"really."

Li Jing nodded.

Wang Bodang and Yuchi Jingde were both in the Sun and Moon Sect and treated people with steadfast behavior. The leader of the sect naturally knew the character of the two of them by handing over the task of defending the imperial army to them.
