Chapter 634 King's Breath
The city gate of Shache was closed tightly, and the figure of His Majesty the King standing at the top of the city disappeared, and the hearts of the people of Shache became more and more cold. They knew that they were abandoned.
Someone suddenly cried bitterly.
Crying is contagious, and soon more and more people cry.
The Shache defenders at the top of the city looked at the crying people below the city, feeling sad, but they were just ordinary soldiers, and no one dared to open the city gate when the king personally issued an order.
The only thing they can do is to turn their heads and stop looking at the people below.
As soon as there was the first batch, there was the second batch, one after another, the Allied Forces of the Western Regions gathered five or six thousand people from the surrounding Shache, and drove them to the city of Shache.
The newcomers kept calling the door, and those who had come earlier told them that the king was here just now, and seeing them turn away, the king had abandoned them.
Behind him is the eye-catching enemy, armed with a knife and gun, who may kill him at any time. In front of him is the city of Shache, which can survive. This is his capital, but it has closed the city gates to its people, and it has also closed its gates. live hope.
Sorrow is spreading.
When Jiang Hao saw this scene, he didn't feel any pity. War is like this. The most injured people are always the weak and poor people.
This principle has never changed.
This is still the case even in modern society. Look at Libya and Syria. This is a pattern that has lasted for thousands of years.
Jiang Hao began to order, "Stand on the spot and besiege on three sides."
Now these Shache people are just sad, Jiang Hao wants to make them feel hopeless, at that time, they will transfer their hatred of the enemy to the king.
Five or six thousand people gathered at the foot of the city. It was a chaotic scene. The Allied Forces of the Western Regions surrounded them on three sides. They had no way of escaping. They could only huddle together like a group of sheep in a pen.
After spending the night in fear, the next day, when the smoke rose from the Jiang Hao barracks, the people of Shache under the city finally felt hungry.
Hunger is the most terrible thing in this world. The first priority of living beings is to fill their stomachs, and when hunger comes, all kinds of negative emotions will grow wildly.
"Give me something to eat, we're hungry."
Someone shouted at the top of the city.
The first person speaks, and the voices behind him become continuous, "Your Majesty, save your people, let us enter the city, and give us some food."
"I want to go to town, I want to eat."
The voices of these people became louder and louder. The guards at the top of the city heard it, the people in the city heard it, and King Shache and officials in the palace heard it too.
The prime minister stood beside the king and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, if you don't care about the lives of those Shache people, your prestige will no longer exist in the future. Your Majesty, you should open the city gate."
"It can't be opened, this is obviously an enemy's conspiracy." A second fool jumped out and said.
"This is a conspiracy, and it's also a conspiracy. We know what the enemy wants to do, but what can we do? We can only minimize the loss. Yesterday you said that the coach is a fool. Hehe, he will kill him as soon as he makes a move. We, who are fools?" the prime minister said.
"If we let those people in, we won't be able to support them," someone said.
"Let them fend for themselves, if people's hearts don't exist, Shache will no longer exist in the future." The prime minister said angrily.
King Shache naturally knew this truth, but what can he do now? He is also very helpless. Let people in, and the food in the city will be eaten up. If the eldest son can't wait for the rescue, Kaesong will end up surrendering in the end.
A sharp light flashed in King Shache's eyes, what are the people, his throne is the first, "Needless to say, those who killed my people in Shache were those Khotan people, Yanqi people, Yuli people, and Loulan people, I will keep this hatred in my heart, and one day I will let them repay it twice."
This is the king's decision, and speaking of it, he is right.
It just depends on who fights to the end, and the winner is always the king. If he waits for rescue and then counterattacks other small countries, he can naturally avenge this enmity.
A lot of pots were put down at the top of the city, and the people of Shache flocked to take the pots, but found that there was only clean water in them.
"Where is the food, why is there only water?" Someone shouted towards the top of the city.
The head of the city stretched out a head and shouted to the people below: "The king has an order. There is not enough food in the city. There is no food supply. I will give you some water. You are full and run for your lives."
Immediately some people in Shache quit,
"Didn't King Shache protect us? The enemy is besieging us with swords, guns, bows and arrows. How can we escape? Are we going to die?"
The head at the top of the city shook his head sadly, and shrank back without speaking.
Now the five or six thousand Shache people trapped in the city understood that the king had completely abandoned them and left them to fend for themselves.
"Woooooooo~~~ We support the king, but in the end we don't care about us. Why do we support such a king?"
"I won't do it. From now on, I won't be a Shache person."
"What shall we do, I don't want to die."
"How about we go and beg the enemy general to see if he is willing to take us in and let us be his people."
"But we are Shache people from generation to generation?"
"So what, so what, the king doesn't want us anymore, is it just for a name, we become bones here."
"Yes, follow me if you want to survive, we surrender."
Five or six thousand people, men, women and children flocked to Jiang Hao's army. Jiang Hao was also a little surprised by this scene. Could it be that he was going to fight himself?
However, at a distance of more than 200 meters from the army, these people knelt down one after another, and a middle-aged man walked up with his hands up and shouted loudly: "We want to survive, we are not going to be Shache people, please Let us go."
Hearing this, Jiang Hao was stunned.
There is also this kind of operation. You have no backbone. You surrendered after only being hungry for a day. This has created a problem for Jiang Hao.
Di Linaza looked at Jiang Hao, she didn't know what to do in this situation, but she believed that with this man's wisdom, he would definitely think of a good way.
Jiang Hao pondered for a while, then called some of his subordinates and said: "Tell those Shache people, stand outside the city of Shache and curse the king of Shache and you will be free for one day."
What Jiang Hao wanted was to damage Shache King's reputation, and now that he has done it, it doesn't matter if he lets people go or not.
When Di Linaza heard Jiang Hao's words, she turned her head away with a suppressed smile on her face. This man's tricks are really endless.
I don't know if the king of Shache will pass out in anger after being killed by his own people for a day.
As soon as those Shache people heard that they could survive, they immediately turned back to the city. They were hungry, but they were full of resentment. At this moment, they just vented their anger. Men, women and children began to yell at the city.
"King Shache is extremely incompetent."
"King Shache disregarded the life and death of the people, and sooner or later he died tragically."
"King Shache cut off his sons and grandchildren."
It feels so comfortable to swear every sentence. Five or six thousand people swearing together in the street is really powerful.
These curses naturally spread to the city, and the defenders, people and the king heard it. King Shache was trembling with anger, stood up and pointed at a general and shouted, "Go, ask the defenders at the top of the city to shoot arrows and insult me. Wang Zhu, kill and disperse those troublemakers."
The general looked embarrassed, "Your Majesty, those are all citizens of Shache Kingdom."
"Subject, are there any subjects who insult the lord like this? Why, don't you obey orders?" King Shache glared at the general.
The general had no choice but to come to the top of the city to command the defenders to shoot arrows. The defenders were unwilling at first, but under the general's order, they had to shoot with bows, but they shot into the empty space, and the general turned a blind eye. Anyway, I was shooting arrows. No mention of shooting people.
The people of Shache below saw the arrows shooting down from the top of the city, and they all ran back in fright. After running out of the shooting range of the bows and arrows, they all felt cold in their hearts. , but shot at his own people, such a king is really over.
scold!
Continue to scold.
Bows and arrows can shoot two hundred steps, but the sound can be transmitted five hundred steps.
Cursing in the street can vent anger, and it can save lives. These people scolded harder, and their language became more vicious. They almost dug up the eighteenth generation of Shache King's ancestors.
At this moment, the citizens of the entire Shache Kingdom suddenly felt that their country seemed to be cold, and they no longer had the prestige and love they had before.
Looking at the scene in front of her, Di Linaza thought for a while, turned her head to look at Jiang Hao, and asked softly, "Is this the people's heart?"
Jiang Hao looked at Di Linaza and said: "The rarest thing to get is the hearts of the people. The king upholds sincerity and does good, and the people's hearts say it and God's will is obtained. Those who lose the world lose their people; those who lose their people lose their hearts." , How can the world be governed? It’s just winning the hearts of the people! Why is the world in chaos? It’s just losing the hearts of the people!”
Dilinaza was thoughtful, raised her head for a while, and asked Jiang Hao: "If you encountered the crisis in front of you, what would you do?"
Jiang Hao smiled. In fact, if Di Linaza has read Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there is no need to ask this question, just learn from Liu Bei.
"It's actually very simple. Gather the people together, appease the hearts of the people, and then spread rumors among the people, saying that the enemy broke through the city gates and wanted to slaughter the city, so as to gather people's hearts together. Now in the entire city of Shache, there are six thousand soldiers and tens of thousands of people. With the addition of several groups of refugees and tens of thousands of people, if they rush out together and fight us desperately, we may not be able to win."
"Even if they are defeated, King Shache can take this opportunity to flee with his troops. As long as his reputation is there, Shache has tens of thousands of people, and he can completely reorganize a strong army. If the people return their hearts, Shache will not perish. "
Dilinaza seems to understand a lot of things.
"Then now, does King Shache still have a chance?"
Jiang Hao shook his head, "It's gone, there is no chance at all. "If the people's hearts come together, great things can be accomplished; King Shache's influence will disappear completely, only in this way can future troubles be avoided."
"You are so ruthless!" Dilinaza said.
"Why, you hate me for doing this?" Jiang Hao asked.
Di Linaza shook her head vigorously, "No, I saw the breath of a king from you, and I feel very lucky to meet you, Dina."
King's breath?
Could it be that he already has the legendary aura of dominance?
Jiang Hao chuckled, "Then follow me and see how I conquer the world."
