The army was stationed in Tianyang City and set off after three days of rest. The three armies were detached and marched to the three cities at the same time. They camped and rested for one night, and went forward to call for battle early the next morning.

At this point, Zhang Wenrong still hasn't made a choice. She is extremely entangled in her heart and doesn't know how to choose.

When the country suffers, everyone is responsible. No matter what grudges or grudges there are, they are insignificant in the face of the country's justice.

Reason told her that Zhu Qinghong was an enemy. But her feelings were very clear, and Feng Han was not a wise king.

He only has conquest and plunder in his eyes, and does not care about the life and death of the people. The Zhang family will be driven out and the people will live in dire straits. Is this really okay?

Zhu Qinghong would not wait for her to make a decision. He would start a war when he said it would start. The soldiers of Sheng Kingdom were not timid and came out one by one on leopards.

Both sides screamed and fucked without flinching.

Zhu Qinghong observed the opponent's military strength and combat power, and found that Emperor Sheng had something special.

It was actually deployed in such a short period of time. No, maybe it was already arranged before going to negotiate.

On the first day, both sides suffered casualties, and no one got any relief. The soldiers were brave and had to be respected even if they were enemies.

At night, inside the tent.

Zhu Qinghong received news that the fighting situation between the three armies was similar. Shengguo seemed to have expected that they would attack and was fully prepared.

Fang You'an and Su Rui were a little worried. Under such circumstances, they might not be able to resolve the issue quickly.

"That's right." Zhu Qinghong ordered the rear to deliver food and grass as soon as possible. It was decided to fight a protracted war.

The people of Sheng Kingdom have always lived under the emperor's pressure. If they want to reduce the difficulty of winning people's hearts, they cannot use absolute force.

What's the point of the lifeless city in hand? Extend the fighting time and show their wisdom and benevolent government to the people of Sheng Kingdom to the greatest extent.

There is a saying that goes well, those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world. If the people's hearts are with them, no matter how powerful the emperor's army is, they will be defeated.

After deciding on the policy, the next plan is as follows: spend time with the enemy until they run out of ammunition and food.

Regardless of whether the opponent surrenders or is captured, the city will be treated with benevolence. In other words, after capturing a city, don't rush to move on.

Use the city as a base and improve the living standards of the people. If there is no one to cultivate the country, it will inevitably be unable to survive.

If Sheng Guo wanted to fight, they would delay him.

It was hard for the people in the city to live a stable life, and they naturally hated the Emperor Sheng who provoked the war. Don't underestimate the power of the people. If one person knows, it means many people know.

Sooner or later it spread throughout the Sheng Kingdom.

Killing people and killing one's heart is nothing more than that.

Zhu Qinghong's red lips curled up slightly: "To deal with Sheng Guo, boiling the frog in warm water is the best way."

She did not hide it from Zhang Wenrong and even invited them to discuss it together. After hearing the whole plan, Zhang Wenrong looked at Zhu Qinghong in shock.

A strategy to achieve the goal at the minimum cost. It not only alienated the emperor's army and people, but also won the hearts and minds of the people.

At that time, the people will beg her to ascend the throne. Who wouldn’t want a wise king and a peaceful and prosperous age?

"So, we are not in a hurry to fight. We will eat and drink well every day and spend time with them." Zhu Qinghong clicked on a simple map of the city. "There is no food in the army, so they will rob the people. There will be complaints when they rob, and they will be intolerable and it is difficult to protect the city gate."

It won’t open on its own.”

Su Rui smiled in the video: "If the news is released, you can receive food if you surrender to our army. You will no longer go hungry if you surrender..."

I didn’t say the rest of it, everyone understands it.

Zhu Qinghong was very happy to speed up the destruction of Shengguo's army: "It's a good idea."

Zhang Wenrong felt a chill coming from him for no apparent reason.

Feng Han may be crazy, he may be cruel, but he definitely does not have the strategy and ambition of the person in front of him.

Those who don't know the truth are grateful to her, admire, fear, and admire her.

She is the real king.

The next day, the three armies still called for formation. But the fighting was very perfunctory, and after a day's delay, they returned to camp for dinner.

There’s braised pork tonight!

The general guarding the city of Sheng Kingdom frowned and had a bad premonition. As expected, in the next few days, the opponent never tried its best. Come to the point, go to the point.

After being trapped for half a month, the food in the army gradually ran out. The soldiers could not go hungry, so they had to collect food from the common people.

However, the tepid war continues. From the beginning, people were solicited and promised to pay back.

to direct recruitment, and finally to robbery. There were starvation deaths among the people, and the number increased every day. The way they looked at the soldiers ranged from trust to fear to hatred.

I don't know where the news came from, the army outside the city was eating a lot of meat and fish every day. Anyone who surrendered could receive food, and he would not go hungry in the future.

The people didn't believe it at first, until their families died of starvation, and soldiers broke into the houses and broke things in search of food.

The hatred that had been suppressed for so long finally broke out.

The first person stabbed a soldier to death with all his strength, then there was the second, the third...

One evening, a cook with chapped lips added medicine to the gruel he was cooking. All the soldiers who drank it foamed at the mouth and fell down, never making a sound again.

The cook laughed, laughed and cried. He was a citizen of the city and was called in to cook for the team at short notice.

He saves a few money every month and takes it all home to his younger siblings. Who would have imagined that a few days ago, he finally found time to go back. Only to find the bodies of his younger siblings. The house was smashed to pieces, and not a grain of food was left.

The neighbor stuck his head out and told him the truth.

The two children were in their teens, had little strength, and had no adults to support them. The soldiers came to the house, smashed and looted things, but there was nothing they could do.

The girl was almost humiliated. But the soldiers were careless and beat her to death first.

The neighbor wanted to bury the two babies, but now that they cannot leave the city, they would be buried in the soil and might be eaten by monsters.

We can only put it aside for now and wait for the cook to come back and decide what to do.

The cook's eyes suddenly turned red, and he took the bodies of his younger siblings to the courtyard and burned them.

From that day on, he felt extremely angry.

He was not the only cook in the army, and if he was discovered, the consequences would be disastrous. The cook hid himself and secretly contacted the people who hated the soldiers.

He won over other cooks, waited until the time was right, and finally took action on this day.

Most of the soldiers were poisoned and died.

The common people rushed into the barracks with carrying poles, hoes and other objects, and fought with the remaining soldiers.

They are full of hatred and extremely vicious. Even if they die, they will have to support a few more people.

A lonely and brave spirit ushered in victory.

Seeing that the situation was over, many soldiers ran away. Some were caught and beaten to death. The people vented their anger and beat people to death, with tears streaming down their faces.

Because they know that even if they kill all the soldiers, their dead relatives will never come back, never to come back.

The sky is bright.

When the army showed up on time, they saw the city gates wide open and more than a dozen people kneeling on the ground to express their willingness to submit.

The soldiers looked at each other and immediately sent someone back to report. Zhu Qinghong was not surprised when he heard the news.

She smiled and walked over, followed by Zhang Wenrong.

City gate.

Zhu Qinghong walked up to the people and said, "Raise your head."

They did not dare to disobey and were nervous and afraid to raise their heads.

A woman who looks like a fairy descending to earth in a painting stands in front of her, smiling lightly.

"You are very brave. I agree to your surrender." Zhu Qinghong bypassed the people and walked into the city. "When the army enters the city, it must not harass the people. If the order is passed, anyone who is willing to surrender can receive food. I will never let my own

The people are hungry."

One sentence made the people unable to control their emotions. Several people cried bitterly, and some covered their mouths to suppress their crying.

Zhang Wenrong looked at them and felt uncomfortable. It turned out that the people did not care whether the emperor was male or female, as long as they could give them a good life.

Gao Chen and Ying Cai stepped forward to help the leading cook. Ying Cai said with a smile: "Please inform everyone to come and get food."

The two of them were well-dressed, and the cook wiped the tears on his face and felt embarrassed. Gao Chen said gently: "You can take us into the city first."

The cook nodded quickly and invited them into the city.

The people followed behind, feeling uneasy in their hearts.

Is there really food?

There is a general's mansion in the city.

Zhu Qinghong was blocked when she entered. As soon as she raised her hand, all the guards were killed by the sword.

The general came out to scold him and killed him on the spot.

Zhu Qinghong sat at the main seat in the main hall and opened the call to ask about the situation in the other two cities. Fang Youan's side was still a little bit underwhelmed. Su Rui's side was progressing very quickly and had entered the reconstruction stage. The plan was going very smoothly.

Zhu Qinghong turned off the call with satisfaction.

At this time, the soldiers entered the city without disturbing the people. The people cowered and hid, but nothing happened.
To be continued...
