Chapter 26 With such a small sacrifice, it will be difficult for the gods to help you.

"Singing an opera? I would actually enjoy it."

Liu Ke nodded, and responded with a hint of frivolity: "It's just that I'm afraid."

"Zhang Huaiyang was afraid of the Liuding Liujia whom I had summoned, so he did not dare to enter the city. He could only set up a stage outside the city to sing in an attempt to lure our troops out."

"It's okay if you don't go out."

Yue Shaoqian looked troubled, somewhat helpless:

"After a great victory, the morale of the soldiers was high, and they felt that they were protected by Liu Ding Liu Jia. They asked for orders one after another and wanted to go to war."

Liu Ke immediately objected: "How can this be done! How can they have six Ding Liujia to protect them!"

"Exactly, but many people believe in Taoism and believe that Your Majesty has magical powers."

Yue Shaoqian would like to say again that it was a clever plan for the emperor to stabilize the people's hearts with Six Ding Liujia, but it was troublesome to deceive some soldiers into it unexpectedly.

It is still necessary for His Majesty to personally persuade him tactfully and calm down the anger of the soldiers.

Liu Ke raised his voice and interrupted:

"They may have misunderstood. I only invited Liu Ding Liujia to defend the city."

"A small ritual at the gate of the city, just a small sacrifice, trying to protect an army of 50,000 people, it will be very difficult for the general!"

"I have to be a big player in order to show my sincerity."

"Look, this talisman has only drawn six strokes, and there is still less than half."

Liu Ke took out another half-painted talisman and said:

"The Liuding gods are all Yin gods. They are female. Without the Liujia gods, they will not be matched. They will not work."

He unfolded the talisman and took a look, and was startled: "I remember wrongly, Liu Ding Yi Jia, this armor god was just added in the morning."

"Your Majesty." Yue Shaoqian was dumbfounded.

No, Your Majesty, is this true or false?

"Don't worry, don't worry, even Liu Ding and Yi Jia can't do it, so come on, even a donkey can't do it!"

"God A's magic power will be drained out in a short while, and it won't work."

Liu Ke took out the cinnabar and started drawing:

"After I finish drawing the talisman, I will start setting up the altar and perform one more ritual ceremony. Then it will be fine."

Yue Shaoqian was a little confused. Six Ding Liujia defended the city, and the effect was visible to the naked eye.

It not only stabilized the people's sentiments, but also made Donghu dare not attack the city easily. It can be said to be a clever plan.

But if you try it again, what's the plan?

To embolden the Imperial Guard?

Let them fight head-on with the Donghu army without fear of death?

If you really want to fight head-on, what city will you defend?

Besides, when the Forbidden Army uses real swords and guns, they find that they don’t have Liuding Liujia to protect them, and they are deceived, and they will definitely be defeated even faster!

Yue Shaoqian felt that it was not good at all, at least by then, the big man would definitely be bad!

At this time, Xiao Yuanchang also came.

"Your Majesty, all the equipment is ready."

Xiao Yuanchang brought a dozen mule carts.

"These carts are made of stones, these carts are made of wood, and these carts are made of adobe."

Xiao Yuanchang looked at the mule carts, which were indistinguishable at all, and recalled his treasures:

"The first row is the ramming hammer, tamping plate, and ramming rope needed for ramming the soil;"

"Then there are grindstones, shovels, and levels needed for laying bricks;"

"The mortise and tenon tools include axes, saws, and chisels, and the last row is nails, hammers, and ladders."

Yue Shaoqian was dumbfounded. Is this planning to build another Weiyang Palace?

Liu Ke smiled brightly, this logistics manager's ability was really impressive.

He just said that he wanted to build a tower to the sky and perform rituals, so Xiao Yuanchang made all the preparations.

He took Yue Shaoqian's hand and said earnestly:

"Yue Shaobao, when I finish drawing the talisman and building the Tongtian Tower, I can summon Liu Ding Liujia to possess the imperial army. At that time, the Donghu army will be nothing more than chickens and dogs."

"correct."

Liu Ke suddenly thought of something: "Didn't Yue Shaobao just say that Donghu people are setting up a stage to sing opera outside the city?!"

"Build another stage just opposite Tongtian Terrace. If they can sing, I can sing too!"

"The war is intense. Although there is a temporary respite, Your Majesty must not slack off because of this!"

Yue Shaoqian persuaded him loyally. He knew the shortcomings of Liuding Liujia's defense of the city, so he could only delay it for a while until the city ran out of ammunition and food. Even if the Donghu army did not attack the city, the city would be broken.

Therefore, we must take advantage of this rare time to find a way to defeat the enemy.

It can be said that it is urgent. If you delay it for one more day, it will be even more dangerous!

"It's finally a big win, can't you enjoy it?"

However, Liu Ke was just perfunctory:

"Yue Shaobao, you have dark circles under your eyes. You must have been guarding the city day and night without a wink of sleep. You'd better go and rest quickly."

"I have asked Dianchu to go to the city to replace you. I will go home and lie down for a while."

"His Majesty."

Yue Shaoqian wanted to say more, but Liu Ke's tone was a little more severe:

"Have a good rest, this is a military order!"

Yue Shaoqian had no choice but to retreat. Could it be that His Majesty had no other choice and just wanted to enjoy the last few days?

Impossible, absolutely impossible, no matter what, people are still in the city.

Xiao Yuan saw Yue Shaoqian retreating and said worriedly:

"I do not recommend that your Majesty carry out large-scale construction projects. These consumables can also play an important role in defending the city. Moreover, it costs a lot to recruit civilians. Now the treasury is tight."

Liu Ke waved his hand, quite proudly:

"So, didn't I send Liu Ding Liu Jia to defend the city?"

"In this way, we don't need many defensive equipment, tools, and building materials. We can save everything."

"The civilians don't need it either. Those idle soldiers are used for this."

"Anyone who doesn't work and only earns his salary should be transferred to me to build the Tongtian Tower and the stage!"

That's really true.

If Donghu doesn't attack by force, he can save a lot of stones, rolls of wood, and arrows, and isn't the freed city gate guard just manpower?

"."

Xiao Yuanchang was speechless for a moment. He would not persuade like Yue Shaoqian. This kind of thing requires method and understanding of what His Majesty is thinking.

So he just froze for a moment, nodded in agreement, and then retreated.

After the two men retreated, Liu Ke summoned eight hundred imperial guards.

This is the only power in his hand that he can fully trust.

At this time, he no longer looked like he was joking and was extremely serious:

"Do you know what I want to do?"

"Build the rooftop."

The guards' answers were very unified, unlike Yue Shaoqian and Xiao Yuanchang who were overly self-aware.

After several incidents, their inner thoughts were simple: follow the emperor unconditionally.

Even if the current emperor dives into the water like the previous emperor, they will jump in together without hesitation.

"There's also a stage."

"Yue Shaobao said that the Donghu people outside the city are on stage singing operas, how can we be left behind?"

"One Han is equal to Wu Hu, they sing one line, we have to sing five lines!"

"Of course, this is on the surface."

Liu Ke took out a map: "Secretly, we have to dig a tunnel."

Digging a tunnel. The guards looked confused. They had never done this kind of work before!

"The soldiers transferred from the Forbidden Army are only responsible for building the Tongtian Tower and the stage."

Liu Ke paused and glanced at each guard's face: "And you have to dig tunnels under the foundations of the two platforms."

"Of course, on the surface, you are still building two foundations. You must not let others know what you are doing."

"If there is any leakage, anyone who knows or leaks the information will be killed, even if they are both officers and soldiers of our army."
