"Your Highness, why didn't you send two guards to notify us in advance so that the general could go out of the city to greet you?"
A general like Le Sheng, who became famous at a young age, is somewhat arrogant and does not pay attention to everything in the incident, especially when he is granted the title of Duke, which is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. Even if he is a little domineering,
No one said anything.
However, Le Sheng has a calmness that is countless times beyond his age. He has always maintained a humble attitude, especially respecting Zhao Ruina from the bottom of his heart.
"There's a war coming, there's no need for that! Besides, there's no need for this between you and me! How is the situation in the city now?"
Le Sheng immediately took out the map he carried with him and handed it over.
"At present, all the troops have been deployed. The entire city is impregnable. If it is defended..."
"That's not what I'm asking!" Zhao Rui suddenly became serious: "How are the people in the city settling down?"
Le Sheng quickly put away the map and took an account book from the clerk on the side.
"Half of the wealth and materials we have obtained have been distributed to the people. Everything in the city has been set up in different institutions according to my Dashang system. However, because it was during the war, the city was not fully opened and everyone was treated the same.
They are not allowed to go out at will, so the land promised to the people has not been fully distributed."
Zhao Rui listened there calmly, while teasing the children in front of him.
He didn't respond immediately, but grabbed a little boy's shoulder.
"Are the adults in your family so worried about you running around? Aren't you afraid of being taken away?"
The little boy chuckled.
"Mom said Dashang's troops are all good people. They not only gave us food, but also restored our freedom. Don't be afraid if we encounter you, but we can't disturb you either."
Zhao Rui was very satisfied, nodded, and then stood up.
"This is not within the borders of Dashang. We don't have any advantages, but we must turn all disadvantages into our advantages. Water can carry and capsize a boat. We must completely turn the people in the city into our own citizens.
It is possible to win this war."
Le Sheng naturally understood what Zhao Rui meant and immediately responded.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, all strategies are implemented in accordance with your previous orders, without any slack."
Zhao Rui didn't say anything more, but went directly to the city wall with Le Sheng.
Most of the land around Tuyuan City and Shangyuan City is plain. Although the altitude here is extremely high, the land here is also quite fertile. It is an important highland barley producing area in the entire Tubo Kingdom.
It is equivalent to one of the grain production bases of the entire Tubo Kingdom. As long as it is included in the pocket, it is equivalent to controlling the economic lifeline of the Tubo Kingdom.
A large amount of fertile land almost wraps the two cities in the middle. In the event of a war, these lands will inevitably be destroyed.
Zhao Rui looked at the wave-like highland barley fields in front of him, and suddenly felt some emotion in his heart.
"These lands have already reached the harvest season. It is really inappropriate to fight at this time. You should immediately send an order to distribute all the land we promised to the people. Even if there is no way to actually measure the land, we must fulfill our promise on the map.
, you have to send the land deed documents together.”
Le Sheng was a little puzzled. The war was about to begin. Even if the land was distributed, the highland barley grain in the rice fields would be destroyed. By then, there would inevitably be complaints among the people.
