The square suddenly became lively, and all the people knelt on the ground, begging Zhao Rui not to send troops.
In fact, they all know that all the wealth they have obtained is given by Dashang. Once Dashang's army suffers losses or fails, everything they have gained will be in vain, and they will probably become slaves again.
.
They never want to go back to the days when pigs and dogs were inferior to each other.
Zhao Rui didn't care so much, he just raised his hand to ask everyone present to quiet down.
"The food outside the city is enough to feed the people in our city for two years. If we don't harvest it, it would be a pity to let them rot in the fields. I have made a decision, so don't say any more. Everyone go back and clean up.
, bring the baskets and tools for harvesting highland barley, and we will leave the city under darkness tonight."
The scene was silent, and everyone stared at Zhao Rui with burning eyes. They had never seen such a ruler before.
If it were the royal nobles and former slave owners of the Tubo Kingdom, they would not think about them like this at all, and would instead try every means to deprive them of all the wealth in their hands.
Zhao Rui did not give them another chance to speak, and left in a hurry after issuing a few military orders. By evening, 80,000 troops had gathered and were ready to leave the city at any time.
The people in the city no longer hesitated, carrying baskets and tools for harvesting highland barley, and waited at the city gate.
After the sky darkened, Zhao Rui ordered an attack on Shangyuan City.
The 80,000-strong army was extremely powerful. It didn't take long for them to rush to Shangyuan City. All kinds of equipment were used, as if they were going to capture the city in one go.
The defenders in the city were stunned and climbed up to the top of the city one after another. When they saw the number of injured people attacking the city, they felt incredible. A mere 80,000 people dared to attack the city in such a furious manner. You know, there are so many people in the city.
There are millions of troops.
"Are these people crazy?" A young general in the city lord's palace was full of doubts: "If such a small number of people dare to attack the city, is there any conspiracy?"
Zang Luotian sat on the main seat, coughed twice, took a few sips of the butter tea at hand.
He couldn't figure out why the other side would send 80,000 people to attack the city and create such a huge formation. Was it because they wanted to start a decisive battle in advance?
The entire city lord's palace has become a mess. Some people want to lead their troops directly out of the city and annihilate the 80,000 merchant army under the city. Some people insist on holding on and slowly killing these 80,000 people. Others
He wanted to send people out of the city to see what the merchant army meant.
Just when everyone was arguing, Zang Luotian suddenly stood up.
"I ordered the city gates everywhere to be guarded. No one is allowed to leave the city to fight without permission. I want to see what these guys are going to do."
Among the generals present, no one dared to say another word and decided to separate matters.
At this moment, a deputy general suddenly ran into the hall in a hurry and thrust a document into Zang Luotian's hand.
"I'm sorry, old general. This is what I found in the city. Now it seems that this document has been spread throughout Shangyuan City."
There was a bit of blame in Zang Luotian's eyes. It was just a small document, nothing to make a fuss about, but when he opened the document, he was stunned.
"You mean the document has been circulated throughout the city?"
