Liang Jun, the atmosphere in the camp of the Chinese Army was solemn.

This should be considered an enlarged meeting.

The generals of the Zhenbian Army, Tianxiong Army, Liang Wu Jingqi and other armies were among them.

Zhu Wen, who was sitting in the main seat and wearing a military uniform, looked heavy.

At the head of him were Prince Zhu Zhen, General Fan Cang of the Zhenbian Army, Deputy General Li Chengliang on the left, Deputy General Kang Wenbing on the right, General Chen Fu of Liang Wu Jingqi, General Liu Huai of the Tianxiong Army and others were seated in sequence.

Zhu Wen said in a low voice: "Since the beginning of the war, our army has been passive and stuck in the quagmire, unable to extricate itself!"

"I wonder if you guys feel this way?"

Everyone nodded subconsciously.

Now, this feeling is divided into strong teams. As the attacking side, they have to follow the enemy's rhythm in everything.

Looking back, I have never had a direct battle with the enemy, nor have I achieved any results.

This feels so bad!

"Just today, there was a riot among civilians in our Liangjun camp!"

Zhu Wen raised his voice!

"absurd!"

"ridiculous!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Zhen lowered his head.

It was he who proposed the strategy of driving the people to attack the city, but now that it has failed and brought about bad consequences, he is naturally responsible.

But his father proposed it in public, without saving any face for him!

"The riot has been suppressed, but how can the impact be eliminated? What will the soldiers in the army say privately?"

Zhu Wen said: "We must learn a lesson!"

"Why did the civilians riot?"

"There is a conspiracy and calculation by the enemy, but don't we have any problems ourselves?"

"We have been ignoring the people's hearts and minds before, but now we have to make changes. We have to win the hearts and minds of the people with the enemy!"

Zhu Wen said to himself.

"My army invaded Beilin. It was originally to regain the lost ground, but now it seems that it has become an invader. This is the reason why we are passive!"

He came to the conclusion after careful consideration and also drew lessons.

Why was Daning able to take root in Beilin, and why was it even defended by the people and rescued by the rebels?

If the people's hearts are in Daliang.

When his army enters, all he has to do is raise his arms and shout, and he will be able to muster a strong force and public opinion will surge. How can Daning survive?

But now it’s completely the opposite!

Thinking of this, Zhu Wen said directly: "From now on, we must no longer forcibly recruit the people, and we must no longer harass the people wantonly. We must treat them benevolently and righteously!"

After the words fell, there was silence in the camp.

People's eyes subconsciously fell on Prince Zhu Zhen.

These words directly negate all of Zhu Zhen's strategies. It can be said that the strategy of driving the people to attack the city is wrong!

Even if Liang Jun is in the current situation, it is all the prince's fault!

After just one glance, everyone immediately lowered their heads.

It wasn't originally like this. Even if you wanted to change, you could do it quietly, not in such a public place.

Is Your Majesty dissatisfied with the Crown Prince?

They couldn't help but think about it.

No one saw that Zhu Zhen's hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched into fists.

This is not a military situation discussion, this is putting him on the fire!

My father actually said such words openly.

What does this mean?

Are you not supporting yourself?

Zhu Zhen couldn't help but have an idea.

Such a big pot is placed on my body like this!

Zhu Zhen was not convinced.

Without his father's acquiescence, how could he forcefully conquer the people? Without his father's approval, how could he drive the people to attack the city?

Now it's your own, isn't it?

Zhu Zhen endured it.

He never looked up.

He didn't notice that Zhu Wen's eyes were always on Zhu Zhen at this moment.

This is beating, tempering, and testing.

As a prince and an army commander, Zhu Zhen was not wrong, but as an emperor, he would never do this.

An emperor should have the world in mind, have a heart of benevolence and righteousness, and always keep the people in his heart, only then can he go further.

But he found that Zhu Zhen did not have such a character.

But now we have to temper him and make him wake up, and then put him on the fire to roast...

No one knows what His Majesty is thinking.

After a brief silence, Zhu Wen spoke again: "We want to break the situation. As long as we attack Wuyou City, the dilemma will be solved!"

"In three days, Zong Wuji will arrive with 200,000 border troops. At that time, we will attack Wuyou City with all our strength at all costs!"

Zhu Wen stood up and said solemnly: "This siege will never stop until the enemy's city is broken!"

"We will never stop until we defeat the enemy's city!"

Many generals stood up and shouted in unison, which was spread outside the tent.

This time it's time to get serious.

No matter what powerful weapons the Daning defenders use, they will not stop.

Zhu Wen was determined to do whatever it took, regardless of battle losses or casualties.

As long as he can break through Wuyou City and capture Emperor Yuanwu, he will not hesitate even if the entire army is exhausted!

The generals were also eager to fight.

With another 200,000 border troops, their strength will reach more than 700,000.

With several times the force, Wuyou City can definitely be captured!

The military meeting ends.

All generals returned to their respective armies for mobilization.

This battle will be directed by Zhu Wen personally, and Prince Zhu Zhen has lost a lot of say.

The entire army was mobilized and waited for the arrival of the Ding border troops and then rested for three days, that is, the attack on the city began five days later.

But at this moment, something went wrong.

They found that there were a large number of rebels and even a large number of civilians around Wuyou City.

In fact, this kind of thing has never happened before. However, as soon as they approached Wuyou City, they were forcibly recruited into the civilian population, or expelled by force, or even eliminated directly.

It was just a wave of small groups, with more than a hundred people at most, but now thousands of people are coming directly!

And it’s not just one wave, it’s one group after another!

There are too many people!

In addition to the rebel army composed of young and strong people, there are more civilians, including the old, weak, women and children.

These people with limited mobility sit on flatbed carriages or even carts.

They were dusty and dusty, like people fleeing from famine, who must have come from afar.

At first, Liang Jun's inspection thought they knew that there was a war in Beilin Province. When Liang Jun came, they wanted to move back to Liang State.

We are also prepared to abide by the imperial edict and provide some help. Your Majesty wants to win the hearts and minds of the people. Now that the imperial edict has been issued, no one dares to do anything to these people.

But upon questioning, the results surprised them.

These people are not refugees fleeing famine, nor are they people preparing to move back to their country. They come here for the same reason as those who came before... to rescue Emperor Yuanwu!

It would be understandable if there were young men and women forming a rebel army, but why are these old, weak, women and children?

They are all Liang people, and some of them came from Beishan Prefecture as far away as possible. Beilin Province is very large, Beishan Prefecture is the northernmost one, and it is a long way to Wuyou City.

What are they planning?

At the same time, it was incomprehensible, but it also put Liang Jun in great trouble. After the civilians rioted, the order was given. They were not allowed to invade and disturb the people at will, let alone conscript and kill the people.

It would be easy to deal with just the rebels, but there are tens of thousands of civilians, and the number is still increasing.
