Deng Yu couldn't stand it. He thought he was very smart and used a beauty trap to hold Zhu Youde back, and even used himself as bait.
But I don’t know how Zhu Youde saw through her plan. In her plan, Zhu Youde would marry him and then enter Xuzhou City!
As long as Zhu Youde leaves the army, he can then detain Zhu Youde and force the Liang court to abandon Xuzhou!
Xuzhou will not join Beiyan, but they do not want to follow Daliang anymore and plan to become an independent Bohai country.
She even set her sights on Shandong.
The late emperor had no courage, and I think the same goes for the current emperor Zhu Youde. When faced with a life-or-death crisis, he might agree to any conditions.
But Zhu Youde's cruelty completely exceeded her imagination.
If Xuzhou dares to rebel, Zhu Youde will sweep the ground in Xuzhou and kill everyone.
Zhu Youde felt that Deng Yu did not understand military and state affairs at all. He might be a good person in governing the local area, but in front of the country, the interests of a place could not be considered.
As long as the final result meets the goal in your heart, then killing millions of people is not a big deal.
Compared with future unification, Zhu Youde can do it more easily.
It's not him who did it.
He is a man who owns an army.
There was no silence for a long time. Deng Yu struck out like lightning and strangled Zhu Youde's neck. His eyes were extremely cold: "If I exert any more force, your neck will be broken!"
Zhu Youde was very calm: "If I die, Xuzhou will be destroyed, and millions of lives will be in ruins. Do you know why I take you up the mountain?"
"Just when we came up the mountain, my army was already preparing. Girl, you are still too young. Although we are about the same age, I am the emperor and I see the overall situation. Your eyes are only at your feet."
Zhu Youde smiled slightly, very calmly, and motioned to Deng Yu to look at the camp at the foot of the mountain.
The soldiers in the camp were gathering, and all the troops were preparing. The new army rolled out artillery one by one from the camp. Other ballistas, bows and arrows could not be seen clearly. There were countless infantrymen walking out of the camp and starting.
Dig a hole, and all the cavalry are mounted!
Zhou Ji took away 55,000 people, and Zhu Youde still had 100,000 troops left. Including the civilians, the number still exceeded 300,000.
This is preparation for war. Zhu Youde has been ready for a long time.
Deng Yu's hand let go, Zhu Youde squeezed his hand, stretched out his hand and touched her face.
"You're not cruel enough!"
Deng Yu looked at the camp at the foot of the mountain blankly, and looked up at Zhu Youde, feeling too terrible.
This is the emperor.
"Have you already made plans?"
"Yes, Xuzhou is a fertile land thousands of miles away. It has been a war-torn place since ancient times, and it has not been well opened up. When I take over Xuzhou, the first thing I will do is to build a road from the capital to Xuzhou. In the future, this will be my grain production.
District, Deng Yu? So what do you choose, do you still want to kill me?"
Zhu Youde did not want to start a war, but he would not be polite if he had to, so he told him that once a war started, he would kill everyone in Xuzhou and not even a chicken would be left behind.
"Do you know why I am so cruel that I want to eliminate the people on the ground in Xuzhou?"
Before Deng Yu could ask, Zhu Youde said: "Because the people of Xuzhou have been raised by you for forty years and have received too many favors. They only have your Deng family in their hearts, and there is no Daliang family. If you kill someone, you will punish the heart, but punishing
The heart is always a time-consuming process. I don’t have the intention, so I simply kill them all. I am a foolish king, and it is reasonable to kill millions of people!"
"Tyrant, you are a tyrant, how dare you do this, how dare you have such thoughts..." Deng Yu couldn't help it at all. Zhu Youde's ideas were too cruel.
Zhu Youde, who was admiring the preparations of the army below with his hands behind his back, was very calm: "Compassion does not control the army, and justice does not manage finances. What do you think the army is used for?"
Zhu Youde said coldly: "I have given you a choice now. How do you choose? Surrender or not. The names of the people of Xuzhou are all determined by your thoughts."
"They are all your people!"
"I don't have people who want to rebel against me." Zhu Youde reached out to pinch Deng Yu's face with extreme cruelty. She didn't resist, just like an ordinary woman, Zhu Youde did whatever he wanted.
At this moment, Deng Yu's psychological defense was broken. Zhu Youde's bet was too big. She had no capital to follow.
Zhu Youde said: "Who do you think you are? You can blackmail me. Although you people are excellent, you don't understand what an emperor is. I am the emperor and bear the weight of the world. How can I let you rebellious officials and traitors do whatever they want? What is mine,
It’s you who dare to make up your mind!”
Zhu Youde threw Deng Yu away, who was sitting on the ground as helplessly as a rag doll. Zhu Youde said: "If Xuzhou doesn't open the city and surrender in three days, there will be no Xuzhou in the future!"
Zhu Youde raised his hand and pressed it hard. He heard a thumping sound coming from the foot of the mountain, like a stone thrown halfway into the water, and the earth was shaking.
One hundred artillery roared, and the smoke from burning gunpowder was extremely thick. A string of cannonballs hit the Xuzhou city wall hard, and a section of the city wall suddenly collapsed.
Zhu Youde felt extremely comfortable watching it. It was still exciting to watch the cannons, but it was still too stingy to shoot with muskets.
Zhu Youde opened his hand and held it firmly in front of Deng Yu: "It's all mine, and so is yours!"
After speaking, Zhu Youde turned around and left. After walking a few steps, he saw Wang Zhonghou and several people waiting for him.
"Your Majesty!" Wang Zhonghou hurriedly bent down, glanced at Deng Yu who was sitting on the ground with a blank expression, and shook his head a little unbearably.
Now you know why I, a great martial arts master, obey the emperor so much.
You have no idea how terrifying this emperor is. You think you are powerful, but if the emperor wants to kill you, he will always find a way.
childish.
"Here he comes!" Zhu Youde said casually
Wang Zhonghou nodded quickly, and then followed Zhu Youde and said honestly: "Your Majesty, do you still need Madam Deng Yu to accompany you to bed?"
"No women are allowed in the army, have you forgotten?"
"Yes, yes!" Wang Zhong said honestly: "Your Majesty, Lord Liang Zan is here."
"oh"
When Zhu Youde returned to the tent, Liang Zan was already waiting for him. He quickly knelt down and said, "Liang Zan, the ambassador to the east of Hedong Province, has led 10,000 new troops to join us and pay homage to Your Majesty!"
"Get up and talk, why did you bring the army?" Zhu Youde smiled and said, "You are serious!"
"Your Majesty, what's going on in Xuzhou? We need to attack. My new army is ready!"
"Don't worry, you want to tell me about the affairs in Hedong. How are you handling those aristocratic families?"
Liang Zan smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, it's better not to ask, we will know later."
"Ha!" Zhu Youde rolled his eyes, asked Liang Zan to sit down and said, "Okay, I won't ask anymore. When I take over Xuzhou, Xuzhou plus Shandong will be handed over to you. In addition, I will give you a hundred thousand troops. You can give them to me."
I will capture Shanhaiguan within three years, and next year I will hold the imperial examination and send all the Jinshi to you, Liang Zan, and I will destroy Beiyan within five years!"
