Once there is any sign of Cheng Zhou's military mobilization, it will be reported immediately.

A large number of soldiers and horses began to be dispatched. After the people in the city took a look, they stopped paying attention.

As the people in the city, they feel that even if it is to use troops, there is nothing wrong with it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Xinghan City.

This is a good phenomenon that has been left behind after being publicized by the students.

At this moment, there was also a letter of declaration of war written by Lu Chensheng, which was sent directly to Jiang Guo by the fast horse.

More than ten days later, the letter of declaration of war was successfully sent to Jiang Guo's imperial capital.

"Report! Star City Lu Chensheng has declared war on Jiang Guo!"

The fast horse galloped into the palace, and after the cavalry dismounted, they ran towards the palace at an extremely fast speed.

Outside the Fengtian Hall, they were already shouting loudly.

The ministers who were still discussing inside were stunned when they heard the loud shouts, and they all looked at each other incredulously, and they couldn't believe what they heard.

"Star Seoul has declared war!"

The cavalry quickly ran into the Fengtian Temple, presenting a letter of war in their hands.

Someone immediately took the gauntlet and presented it to Jiang Jinjing.

Jiang Jinjing had taken the letter of war, and his face was ashen.

After opening the gauntlet, he looked inside the gauntlet.

When he finished reading, his face turned blue.

In Lu Chensheng's letter of war, he was unceremoniously accused of the chaos in the government and the public, and the starvation of the people, which caused disasters and disasters that he was unable to solve. He also scolded him for killing innocent people indiscriminately.

Jiang Jinjing looked like his veins were bursting out. In the past few years he has been in power, who would dare to scold him like this?

Now that he is here with Lu Chensheng, he dares to be so bold.

It just made him pass out.

Jiang Jinjing took a deep breath and put the war book in front of the table, but he didn't take it down for the rest of the people to read.

After all, this gauntlet is too embarrassing, and Lu Chensheng has listed all the things in it. If it spreads, he will not be able to argue with it.

"Where are our soldiers and horses? Didn't we already discuss to attack that star Seoul together?"

Jiang Jin took a deep breath, swept his eyes, looked at the Minister of War below and asked.

"Return to the emperor, it is still being transferred, and it should have arrived in Fengyuan City by now."

Hearing this, Minister of the Ministry of War responded immediately.

Hearing this, Jiang Jinjing's expression was still not very good-looking.

"It's been a while since this guy's letter of war was sent here. I'm afraid Fengyuan City is already on fire."

Jiang Jinjing was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

This guy actually wants to rebel!

He has never been so useless before. If this matter is passed down, who knows what future generations will say!

Hearing this, Minister of the Ministry of War fell silent for a moment, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After all, what are you talking about, I don’t know how the battle is going over there, maybe it’s already fighting by now.

The court meeting dispersed at the end, and the news of Star Seoul's declaration of war was passed on directly.

The imperial capital was suddenly boiling up and down.

How many people in the city still remember Lu Chensheng, and know that the other party wants to rebel.day by day

But so many years have passed, and now that it's time for Lu Chensheng to rebel, he suddenly feels that the news is particularly shocking.

No one thought that Lu Chensheng was actually having trouble at this moment.

For a moment, there was an uproar in the imperial capital, and everyone was guessing whether Lu Chensheng could really take down this Jiang country.

Afterwards, Chengzhong opened a handicap, betting on whether Lu Chensheng could win Jiang Guo.

But looking at the odds, Lu Chensheng is not very optimistic about it.

But at this moment, outside Fengyuan City, there is a large army gathering.

The military camp was built, and countless trebuchets were also set up at this moment.

Xu Douguan, who led the army, looked at the army in the distance with a solemn look on his face.

When this army just arrived, he was frightened. There was no confusion at all when the army moved out, and there was no sound from it.

When it moves, it looks more like a person, even if the army has not come to the front, the people who have already been overwhelmed are out of breath.

Seeing that his face turned pale, Xu Douguan felt that he couldn't beat such a large army no matter what.

"General, the enemy has envoys asking to see you."

Just when Xu Douguan's face was full of solemnity, the general at the side called out.

Xu Douguan looked down, and then saw a messenger coming from below.

The army in the distance was still silent. Seeing this, Xu Douguan asked someone to open the city gate and brought him in.

A while later, Xu Douguan saw this person.

"Who is coming?"

Xu Douguan asked in a deep voice.

"Ran Lifei next time."

Ran Lifei cupped his hands, and responded neither humble nor overbearing.

Xu Douguan watched it intently, and just watched quietly without making a sound.

The rest of the generals on the side are all watching this person quietly at this moment.

Ran Lifei seemed to know that the other party would make such a move, and seeing this, his face remained unchanged, and he just stood at a distance, showing his confidence.

After a while, Xu Douguan's face moved slightly, and he asked, "Why did you come here?"

"I'm here to persuade you to surrender."

"Persuade? Hahahaha!"

Xu Douguan burst out laughing when he heard the words, "I, Xu Douguan, a man, you actually asked me to surrender. Are you insulting Xu?"

At the end, Xu Douguan scolded angrily.

"It's because of General Xu that General Bai asked me to persuade him to surrender."

Ran Lifei heard the words and responded.

Without waiting for the other party to ask questions, he continued to speak, "My general knows General Xu's ability. If General Xu is unwilling to surrender, many soldiers will die at that time. Every soldier who dies represents a family. To lose an important relative.

Is it possible that the general also wants to watch his soldiers die in this kind of battle? "

"You're talking nonsense!" Xu Douguan was furious. The other party's words were completely worthless for the purpose of his visit this time. How could he not be angry.

"I am the general of the Jiang State, and my purpose is to protect the Jiang State. The soldiers of the Jiang State naturally also want to protect the Jiang State. Is it possible that you are going to let you traitors cholera my Jiang State, and let me hand over the land of my ancestors? "

Xu Douguan was so furious that he almost drew his sword and chopped off the person in front of him.

At this time, Ran Lifei still seemed unhurried, not at all afraid that he would provoke the other party and be directly killed by the other party.

Ran Lifei's calm expression made Xu Douguan even more angry.

"Since you don't want to see people die, why do you still want to start a war? If you retreat, there will be no war and no one will die!"

Chapter 563

"General calm down, please listen to me and finish."

Seeing that the other party was furious, Ran Lifei spoke out what he had already organized.

"The soldiers of Xinghan City are not afraid of sacrifice. The reason why they come to fight is because Xinghan City is doing a good job. My lord is even more virtuous and capable, so he should be the emperor.

If there are soldiers who die, it is true that the relatives in the family will be greatly grieved, but those who died in the war will be buried with honor, and the relatives in the family will receive the highest courtesy, and Xinghan City will raise their offspring.

Dare I ask Jiang Guo soldiers if they were killed in battle, would they be treated like this? "

Ran Lifei said, looked at Xu Douguan in front of him, and continued talking without waiting for the other party to speak.

"We are all Han Chinese. Soldiers should protect the people on this land. The soldiers in Xinghan City will not move the people a single bit. The fundamental purpose is to change the dynasty and make the people live better. , It also makes the lives of relatives at home of all soldiers better.

The general thought he had heard that when he was last year, hundreds of thousands of Tartar troops marched south. If it weren't for the fact that the current Jiang country in Xinghan City was already raging with war, even Jiang country would no longer exist.

If Xing Seoul sent troops later, wouldn't it be possible to take Jiang Guo easily?

The reason why you didn't let both of you fight is because my lord doesn't want the common people to suffer from this war. Even after taking down Sending Cloud City, my lord has never touched the people of Sending Cloud City at all, and it's a good strategy. Let the people have their own good land to cultivate, and the tax is to charge one bushel per mu of land, and there is no other tax.

Dare to ask Jiang Guo how to pay taxes?How about corvee?

In the autumn of the previous year, my lord sent troops deep into the grasslands, killing all the Tartars, and making the people outside the Great Wall have a good year.

The year before last, my lord sent cavalry to strangle the Tartars who went south to plunder, how many people did they protect?

Now among the three dynasties, which dynasty can do this to protect all the people from the invasion of the Tartars?

When my lord was in the Jiang country, he said a word, the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country!

Now that Xinghan City is located outside the frontier fortress, if the dynasty is unified, it will surely allow the common people to live and work in peace and contentment without being invaded by foreign enemies. If soldiers do not protect the common people, who will protect them.

What does General Xu think? "

Ran Lifei was impassioned, and the generals on the side were all looking at each other at the moment, and each other fell silent.

They are all leading soldiers, so they naturally know that everything the other party said is true.

After Lu Chensheng went to Xing Seoul, the first thing he did was not to avenge the cavalry, but to solve the troubles in the outer domain.

From the beginning, they just passively killed those Tartars who went south, and then directly killed them in the grassland.

Last year, it directly wiped out hundreds of thousands of elite Tartars.

Everyone knew that these Tartars hadn't dared to have the slightest thought in the past ten years or so.

In this regard, Lu Chensheng is the object of admiration for all their generals, because the other party has done what they all want to do.

How can these generals not know about the evil deeds committed by the Tartars?

It's just that the soldiers are weak, what can they do?

What Ran Lifei said now touched them even more.

Change of dynasty, if Lu Chensheng can really do this, it seems that it will only be better for the common people, and there is nothing bad about it.

In addition, if the soldiers they brought were killed in battle, they were really not as good as Xing Seoul City. They knew this a long time ago.

In order to take action against Xinghan City and take down Sending Cloud City, they have already collected a lot of information.crape myrtle

Whenever a soldier died in battle in Xinghan City, Lu Chensheng personally presided over the funeral. This is an extremely large funeral in Xinghan City, and everyone can go there. They only need to ask a little bit to know.

And this kind of thing doesn't exist in their country of Jiang.

Listening to what the other party said at the moment, everyone has mixed feelings in their hearts, not taste.

Xu Douguan's face was also a little ugly at the moment, "Speaking now is naturally better than singing, but who knows if the other party can still do this after he becomes the emperor?

Those emperors, after becoming emperors, have all changed, how can they remember these things, all of them are eating, drinking and having fun, and then choose concubines! "

Hearing Xu Douguan's words, Ran Lifei was overjoyed, knowing that the other party was a little shaken.

"My lord has stayed in Xinghan City for a few years, and Xinghan City has become the bustling look it is today. The people in it live and work in peace and contentment, and the adults have made great efforts to build water power, reclaim fertile land, develop medical care, and allow school children to go to school.

These are all built up bit by bit. All the development is obvious to all. Your Excellency will definitely not be like this. I hope the general can believe it.

Once the war breaks out, how many unnecessary soldiers will die at that time, especially if we can defeat hundreds of thousands of elite Tartars. Although there are many soldiers here, they are only 20.

Once these 20 people are all killed, how much impact will it have on Jiang Guoxia?At that time, the women in Jiang Guo will face the situation of having no husband to marry. "

Ran Lifei continued.

"My lord, please consider carefully. The life and death of these soldiers are all in the general's mind!"

Xu Douguan hesitated when he heard the words, he didn't know what to do at this moment.

After all, he is Jiang Guo's general, even if the other party is right, he is extremely yearning for him.
