Li Xiaomo's hand suddenly shook, and a lot of the fine aged flower carvings in the wine pot were spilled. Chu Lianfeng suddenly raised his head and looked at Haotian. Shenglan with a surprised look on his face.
Although Xin Xin's expression did not change at all, the glint in her eyes still betrayed her inner expression. Qiu Mu and others sitting next to Haotian glanced at the three men indifferently, their faces
Surprisingly, there was not even a trace of surprise on the faces of the two of them. Unlike Li Xiaomo and the other two, they were exposed to Luo Xiangchu and Xiangcheng who had destroyed the Northeastern Three Kingdoms and the Eastern Japanese Dynasty all day long.
Hetao military generals who brag openly and silently about how they will eradicate the surrounding alien races in the future. The women were still frightened at first, but as time went by, they became accustomed to the fierceness of the Hetao military.
Such remarks that they themselves would be surprised if they hadn't heard them for a while.
Li Xiaomo smiled bitterly and said: "Have you ever thought about it, Duke? The three Northeastern countries have nearly 40 million people. To exterminate them is not as simple as defeating their army. Besides, most of them are
Ordinary people who have never set foot in my kingdom, many of them are innocent."
Li Xiaomo had had quite some contact with Haotian. Among the military generals in Hetao, he also had some friendship with Feng Jingxinke. Li Xiaomo thought he knew the Hetao quite well. Luo Xiang did not.
Having said that, this old man who was cold-blooded and murderous twenty years ago is now even stronger with age. Just from the cold light emanating from his eyes, Li Xiaomo knew how dangerous he was.
Ren Fengjing should be the most bookish and scholarly general among all the generals in Hetao that Li Xiaomo came into contact with, but even this elegant and scholarly man firmly advocated blood debt repayment when talking about the Three Kingdoms in the Northeast.
Although Ke may seem vulgar, he is actually as meticulous as his hair and is tenacious and persistent. I don’t know anything else, but a few days ago, Xin Ke ordered that more than 200,000 people from the Northeastern Three Kingdoms in Youyun Sixteen Prefectures be beheaded and their heads hung on the city tower. In this way,
At least Li Xiaomo couldn't do it.
As for the ordinary soldiers in Hetao, under normal circumstances, these people are in normal spirits. From their words and deeds, Li Xiaomo can clearly feel a sense of kindness and enthusiasm. But when it comes to the surrounding foreign races, these soldiers
They suddenly became fanatical and excited, talking about annihilating all the surrounding alien races. It was at this time that Li Xiaomo finally understood why the Hetao army was so powerful. When an army goes out to fight, it is a truly famous army.
It is not difficult to create a tiger and wolf division of ethnic warriors. It is also not difficult for an army to come back with a clean appearance and become soldiers of the common people. But the difficulty is that this army actually possesses both qualities. And when they combine these two qualities
When perfectly integrated, they are an invincible force. Because they have their own ideas, their own beliefs, and understand what they insist on to the death, and behind them, there are countless people who have no reservations.
support. But Qinchuan Elite does not have these at all.
Although Li Xiaomo knew that the Hetao military was a group of cold-blooded executioners who killed without blinking an eye, in his impression, Haotian should not be such a person. Although Haotian was passionate and hated the surrounding foreigners,
However, this was the first time Li Xiaomo heard about genocide.
Haotian smiled coldly: "Your Majesty, you have to pay a price for war. The people of the three Northeastern countries did not directly participate in the war, but without their support, how can you say that the Three Northeastern countries can support such a huge war consumption? Why?
Fighting against our Chinese dynasty? They did not kill people, but aren’t the plundered people of our dynasty now enslaved by them like cattle and horses? When their army massacred our people, they massacred those who had no strength to restrain themselves.
When they were old, weak, women and children, did they ever think about kindness and tolerance? There are nearly 40 million people in the sixteen states of Youyun. Has anyone ever understood their grievances? Even if they take one life, it seems
They should be completely exterminated."
Xue Qingcheng rolled her eyes at Haotian: "You men, why do you get together to discuss murder and arson? Lan Xin, let's go to the other side." In just a while, several women had already become one.
, this title is naturally much simpler.
Sheng Lan also didn't take it seriously: "A man should bear the ambition of Ling Yun and conquer the world to become a prince. It would be good to discuss the war more." But despite this, she stood up and walked towards the east wing with Xue Qingcheng.
Go. However, Xin Jiao hesitated and finally sat behind Haotian.
Chu Lianfeng considered his tone and said: "My lord, our country is a country of etiquette. It is inevitable to kill the enemy on the battlefield, but it is simply impossible for us to attack the ordinary people of the surrounding foreign races.
"
Haotian said: "Someone heard that Brother Chu is a direct disciple of Mr. Lu Qingliu of Shigu Academy. He has always listened to the old man's respectful teachings and is deeply loved by the old man. But Brother Chu is too pedantic. When Shigu
When the entire academy burned down, when the whole city of Jiangzhou City perished, do you know what they were thinking? What did the old gentleman say before he died? When I, China, work hard again, it will be you, the Dongwa people.
At the time of destruction, anyone who offends our heavenly power will be punished even if we search the whole world. Anyone who insults our heavenly reputation will be punished with the strength of his life. It is true that our heaven is a country of etiquette, but our kindness
We can only treat our countrymen and friends who are truly close to us, not these beasts. Others have already tried their best to completely exterminate us, but we are still here discussing the need to repay evil with kindness, be generous, kind, holy, moral and enlightenment to demonstrate our heavenly dynasty
Don’t you think this is ridiculous? Someone is a soldier, so someone firmly believes in a truth, that is, being tolerant to the enemy is cruel to oneself. If we can defeat these aliens this time, then we will be as generous as before
After being educated and released, do you think they will really repent and change their minds? No, absolutely not. They will only think that they should have killed more if they had known that there would be no punishment if they were defeated.
People, loot more property."
"But those people are innocent." Chu Lianfeng said still struggling.
"Innocent? How can there be so many innocent people in troubled times? The surrounding foreign races, where do their soldiers come from, are they not the homes of these ordinary people. In their view, they were defeated. That is a matter for the upper echelons of the country, and them
It doesn't matter. No matter how many people they killed and how much they robbed, it doesn't matter to them. They took off their general pretenses and retreated to their hometowns to live happily with the things they robbed during the war. As for the upper echelons of their country,
To say how big the losses were, it doesn't seem like it. For the sake of so-called face, our Chinese dynasty always issued an edict and reprimanded them, then let it go. If it didn't work, they would just send troops to make their king abdicate and establish a new one.
As for their people, they didn't suffer any losses at all. Instead, they gained great benefits from the war with us. It is because of this kind of tolerance without any punishment that they can gain huge benefits, so they all over the country
The war is being promoted so actively this time. The war is not just a matter of the soldiers and the court. Without the support of the people, do you think the surrounding alien races can be so strong? Do you think they are innocent? Then when their fathers and brothers are slaughtering
When they were our people, did they ever persuade them to be merciful? When they were enjoying the wealth that originally belonged to us, did they blame themselves for the means they used to obtain these wealth? When they were enslaving us and being
When they kidnapped the people, did they ever think about treating them equally? Others no longer treat us as human beings, so why should we show our tolerance and the generosity of heaven to them?" said this,
Haotian couldn't help but think of what layman Yingwu said to him back then, and he suddenly raised his head and said fiercely: "The lives of the people of China need to be compensated with the lives of the enemies, and the dignity of the people of the Celestial Empire needs to be washed away with the blood of aliens! No!
If we completely exterminate them, how can we be worthy of the millions of Chinese people who died tragically under their slaughtering knives?"
Li Xiaomo and Chu Lianfeng looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They had been discussing why the Hetao army was so different, but they never had an answer. But now they understand, that is, from the Hetao to Haotianxia
Ordinary soldiers have an unforgettable hatred for the surrounding foreign races. It stands to reason that if such hatred continues to accumulate, they are likely to become a killing tool that only knows killing and has no emotions. However, due to their deep love for the people
Their nostalgia and love have kept them rational. This is also the reason why the Hetao army is so powerful in combat.
"The Duke seems to be very confident in the war with the Bliss Alliance?" Li Xiaomo reopened a topic and said.
Haotian shook his head: "Frankly speaking, if the three of us can cooperate sincerely, then we still have a 60% chance of winning. Even so, we may still suffer a lot of losses during the war. But according to
With the current situation, I think the best outcome is for the army to retreat to Tiandu Shengjing and confront the Bliss Alliance."
"Does the Duke mean to use Tiandu Shengjing's city defense to consume the forces of the Paradise Alliance? And then let Tiandu Shengjing become a nail?" Chu Lianfeng asked doubtfully.
Haotian continued to shake his head and said: "It is inevitable that Tiandu Shengjing will consume the forces of the Paradise Alliance, but I personally do not think that Tiandu Shengjing can stop the Paradise Alliance. Among Tiandu Shengjing,
The population exceeds four million. What kind of concept is this? The daily food consumption alone is not a small number. Although the imperial court still has some food preparations for war, once the Paradise Alliance completes the clearing of the Tiandu Shengjing, it will
If Tiandu Shengjing is isolated, the food in the city can only last for four to six months at most. Our Qingfeng navy is weak now, and Higashiwa Kato Taka's navy is enough to block our idea of transporting food to Tiandu Shengjing through waterways.
.”
"Strengthen the walls and clear the country, fortify layers of defenses, and have a deep strategy?" Li Xiaomo played with the wine glass in his hand and asked, tilting his neck.
"That's right. Use Luozhou, Tiandu Shengjing and Danzhou as the strategic frontline, deploy elite troops to consume the effective strength of the Paradise Alliance, and buy time for the people to retreat and clear the country. When the people have almost retreated, we are making steady progress
Retreat and go west to your Qinchuan Road and the Dahu Road to the south. The east side of Qinchuan Road is mostly low hills and mountains, while the Dahu Road is densely covered with rivers. In these two places, the cavalry advantage of the Paradise Alliance can be seriously weakened.
Relying on our Chinese rear, as long as we persist, victory will definitely belong to us."
Li Xiaomo poured himself a glass of wine, and while drinking, he quickly considered the pros and cons. According to Haotian, it is indeed the best way for the imperial court to steadily withdraw to the west to clear the country.
, but in this way, the only territory directly under the imperial court was the area along Dahu Road. The Song family had long had the mentality of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. The Paradise Alliance would not come to his doorstep, and they were probably good at calculations.
Song Zhengfeng will not send troops even if he dies. In this case, the only ones left to truly revitalize China are Hetao Haotian and the Qinchuan Li family.
Once the war breaks out, it may be difficult for the imperial court to defend the Holy Capital of Tiandu. Coupled with the weakness of the Liu family and the imperial court, it is very possible for the imperial court to move westward. In this case, only the royal family will be left.
There are three places to go, either Haotian in Hetao, the Li family in Qinchuan, or Ouyang Jingzhong's place on Dahu Road. The court and Hetao are already very unhappy, and Dahu Road is too far south, so the Li family in Qinchuan is naturally the place to go.
The most suitable place. Besides, he, Li Xiaomo, is still the younger brother of Emperor Yinglie after all. At least the Li family feels much closer than Haotian. And if the royal family moves to Qinchuan, then everyone in the Holy Capital of Tiandu will
Property will definitely follow. When the time comes, those nobles and wealthy businessmen will just arrange their own places to live, which will probably increase Qinchuan's income a lot. And the resistance center has moved west to Qinchuan. When China is restored, then Li
The status of the family in the hearts of the people will definitely be greatly improved. If we seize the opportunity to dig out the foundation of the imperial court and draw the imperial officials to the Li family's camp through both soft and hard tactics, then the Li family will not have no chance to dominate the world in the future. After all, the imperial court's
The army is still very capable of fighting. Thinking of this, Li Xiaomo drank all the wine in the cup and said: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. If the Holy Capital of Tiandu really cannot hold on by then, then even if the imperial court
If we retreat, our Qinchuan Li family will definitely fight to the death. The people of our Celestial Dynasty have never surrendered to any foreign nation. There are only soldiers who died in battle, and there are no servants who knelt down. Even if they are all destroyed, they will not let down the thousand years of our great Celestial Dynasty.
Roewe!"
Haotian laughed: "If that's really the case, then I, Haotian, can be counted among them. I have hundreds of thousands of troops in Hetao, so at most we will all die together."
When Chu Lianfeng heard this, he also smiled and said: "Although Mingjian Villa is weak, the empire really needs it, so Lianfeng will not be stingy with this life."
Haotian casually picked up a chopstick, rapped it on the mouth of the bowl and sang loudly: "How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. When the king raised an army, he repaired my spear and spear. I share the same hatred with you."
When Li Xiaomo and Chu Lianfeng saw this, they started to sing in unison: "How can I say without clothes? I am in the same boat with you. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear and halberd. Work together with you! How can I say without clothes? With you.
The king raised his army and repaired my armor and soldiers. I will go with you."
With Li Xiaomo and others accompanying him, Haotian was very drunk at that time. Li Xiaomo and Chu Lianfeng were not much better. At least when Haotian lay down on the wine table, they were also very drunk.
Not sure about the east, west, north, and south, Sheng Lanxin finally asked the guards below to come in and help the two people out. As for Haotian, several women slowly cleaned up after arranging the drunken Haotian.
