Chapter 3830 There is a secret in it
In Jinling City, the army was mobilized.
The various armies of the Jiedushi defended the city wall, while the imperial army was divided into more than a dozen groups, each commanded by their own Marquis of Yu, who went door to door, every street, every square, and forced money and food from the people's homes.
They call this money and food donated by the city guards. Poor people who have no money, as long as they are young and middle-aged, they will all be caught as strong laborers.
For a while, chickens and dogs jumped around in Jinling City.
It was much easier for the Imperial Army to deal with these common people than King Jinling.
Their long knives were drawn, and they were in front of them.
The common people will basically give in.
When they met an ignorant idiot, they went straight up and chopped it down, which was even crueler than bandits.
The news reached the Jiedu envoys who defended the city from all walks of life, and everyone was fooled by the operation of the imperial army.
They are defending the city, but the forbidden army is running amok inside the city.
How can the city be defended in such a turmoil among the people?
The envoys from all walks of life returned to the camp and met Tong Guan.
Tong Guan disappeared, so Gao Lian dealt with them.
The envoys from all walks of life shouted dissatisfiedly at Gao Qiu, "Gao Taiwei, what do you mean by the privy envoys? The forbidden soldiers are running amok in the city. Doesn't this behavior make the people's hearts stand on the side of the bandit army?"
"That's right! Facing the strong attack of the bandit army now, we can only tide over the difficulty if we work together from top to bottom. If the forbidden army acts like this, it is difficult to guarantee that the people will not rebel?"
"Taiwei, please restrain the imperial army as much as possible?"
"..."
Gao Qiu glanced at the crowd with a gloomy expression, "Why, now you even dare to question the decision of the Privy Councilor? Do you still understand the rules?"
A group of Jiedu envoys coughed dryly, lowered their heads one after another, and immediately clasped their fists together and said, "I will eventually be convicted."
Gao Qiu looked at them, sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, the imperial treasury is empty now, and there is no way to pay for the military. The privy envoy did this to raise military salary for you, and also to reward the three armies, so that your subordinates Brothers, guard the city well. The privy envoy is also very embarrassed, there is no other way."
All the envoys looked at each other, and said in shame, "It's the last general who blamed the privy envoy."
"Damn it, and ask the Taiwei and the Privy Envoy to come down!"
In their hearts, this is a lot more balanced.
Gao Lian went over, patted their shoulders and said, "My lords, now we are just grasshoppers on the same rope. If we are all damaged, we will all be prosperous. I will take care of the logistics and supplies for you. On the front line, defend the city well and repel the bandit army. This is a great opportunity to make contributions. If you generals win the bandit army, Enshi and Taiwei Ben will recommend you well in front of His Majesty. Promotion and reward."
A group of Jiedu envoys were filled with joy at being told by Gao Qiu's sincerity, and after expressing the center one by one, they retreated one after another.
Gao Qiu sent them away, and said with a cold snort in his heart, "A group of vulgar warriors offend their superiors, don't understand the rules, and want to blame their superiors, it's a heinous crime."
Outside the government office, a group of Jiedu envoys bid farewell to each other.
Someone came over, stopped everyone, and immediately invited them, "Generals, the King of Jinling welcomes you."
"King of Jinling?"
The Jiedu envoys from all walks of life looked at each other and asked the visitor, "What shall we do?"
The visitor smiled and said, "It's about the future of the generals, so I invite the generals to come with the villain."
The generals gestured to each other, nodded at the end, and told the person who came, "Lead the way!"
"Please!"
The visitor led the Jiedu envoys to a nearby restaurant.
The King of Jinling hosted a banquet inside, and after the envoys entered, he stood up and greeted them happily, "Generals, thank you for your kindness, please hurry to the table."
"The king of Jinling is too polite!"
Jiedu envoys from all walks of life clasped their fists and greeted each other to sit down in front of the banquet.
The King of Jinling ordered wine to be poured for everyone, and he said with a smile, "You generals have worked hard to defend Jinling City. Since I came here, I have not entertained you well. Today is a special banquet to reward you generals. In the evening, let go of your stomach to eat and drink, and all expenses will be recorded in this king's account."
He raised the wine glass first, and said to all the envoys, "I would like to toast everyone first."
Everyone picked up their wine glasses one after another and had a drink with King Jinling.
Someone asked with a frowned eyebrow, "My lord, if you have anything to say, just speak up. Our brothers are all rough people, and we don't know how to beat around the bush."
"Yes, my lord! I don't know why you invited us here? If you need help, just ask. Our brothers can help, and we will never refuse."
"My lord, just now I heard that this matter is related to our brother's future? What is it?"
"..."
A few of them were curious for a while, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in King Jinling's gourd.
The King of Jinling put down his wine glass and asked them, "Generals, I want to tell you a few heartfelt words today. I want to ask you generals, you have fought against the rebel army before. Tell me about it. With the defense of Jinling City, is it possible to stop the rebels?"
All the Jiedu envoys looked at each other, feeling unsure, "If there is no external rescue, Jinling City can only be defended for more than a month at most."
"That's right, this is still when we have enough food and grass. If the food and grass supply is not enough, once the war starts, we will not be able to persist for three days."
"Until now, our food and grass have not been supplied! The army is eating the food and grass collected from various places. In two days, it is estimated that we will run out of food."
"..."
All the governors shook their heads for a while, no one had the confidence to defend the city.
King Jinling stroked his beard and nodded, "It seems that the situation is indeed not optimistic."
Some Jiedu envoys thought that the King of Jinling was worried that the city would not be able to defend, so he took the initiative to comfort him, "Don't worry, my lord, although there are difficulties, we will defend the city with all our might, and we will never let the bandits enter Jinling City. "
"Yes, that's right. The general will definitely protect Jinling City with all his might, and will definitely ensure the safety of the prince and all princes."
They expressed their loyalty to King Jinling one after another.
You Jiedu envoy said, "Gao Taiwei has asked the imperial army to help us raise food and grass in the city. As long as the food and grass are in place, it will not be difficult for us to hold on for a month. At that time, as long as the imperial court sends reinforcements, our Jinling City will be in crisis automatically." untie."
The King of Jinling asked him, "Are you talking about the forbidden army plundering the people's food and grass without permission?"
"Exactly."
Jiedushi nodded.
A Jiedu envoy sighed, "The Taiwei is also helpless, for the sake of the court, in order to stick to the city, it is a helpless move."
King Jinling smiled and shook his head, "Gao Lian told you this?"
All the envoys nodded their heads one after another, looked at King Jinling's disdainful eyes, and asked curiously, "Don't you think so?"
The King of Jinling took a sip of his wine and put a letter of transaction on the table for all the envoys to read.
Everyone took the letter and looked at it carefully.
After reading it, everyone was shocked.
