Chapter 1173 The World Returns to Its Heart

Nanzhao's army arrived at Yuzhou City, surrounded it, established a camp under the city, and was about to launch a general attack on the city.

The number of defenders in Yuzhou City is far greater than that of the enemy forces outside the city. Not only are there 50,000 Shenji troops under Jing Xiaolou, but there are also garrisons from Chengdu Prefecture and Yuzhou and Tangmen disciples from Tangjiabao. The total number added together There are 70,000 to 80,000 people.

A large number of people also gathered in the city. There were hundreds of thousands of locals in Yuzhou City. Later, hundreds of thousands of refugees who fled after the fall of Chengdu Prefecture poured in.

The people of Shu had seen the horrific scene of the Southern Barbarians arresting people for cultivating poison, so they panicked and fled into the few fortified cities in Shu, hoping that the defenders would protect them from being captured and tortured to death by the terrible barbarians.

In ancient sieges, besieged cities were often reluctant to accept the influx of refugees for fear that there would be too many people and not enough food in the city, resulting in soldiers being short of food and unable to defend for a long time.

The Chinese Empire claims to govern the country with benevolence and cannot abandon any of its subjects. Jing Xiaolou did not care about these cruel laws of war and let as many refugees into the city as possible before Nanzhao's army besieged the city.

It is said that with so many people in the city, the enemy troops besieging the city do not need to attack. As long as they wait patiently for a while, the people in the city can starve to death. Fortunately, Luo Guoshi, who was dispatching grain and grass supplies in the rear, had been prepared in advance. A huge amount of food and grass was hoarded in Yuzhou City.

Luo Guoshi also said that even if the food and grass in the city ran out, there was no need to worry. He could send Shushan Feijian disciples with space magic weapons to carry supplies and airdrop support. Even if Nanzhao's barbarian army besieged the city for a hundred years, he would not be afraid of the city running out of food. This This greatly stabilized the morale of the military and the people.

Anyway, in response to the disaster of power generation for love, Luo Feng estimated that his space warehouse would be lost sooner or later, so he became generous and took out all the instant noodles, self-heating rice, dried meat, and other delicacies from all over the world. A lot of military rations were stored in fortified cities across the country.

In fact, these food supplies were of little help to the defense of the city. Luo Feng knew that the Nanzhao army had biological and chemical siege means, and there was no need for a long-term siege. No matter how much food was in the city, the people would be gone by the time it was finished. The plague will kill them all.

This is just to act as a placebo, so that the people and the defenders will not be in chaos before fighting, so that they can die calmly, and they can be a well-fed ghost after death, without leaving any regrets or resenting anyone.

Since the Nanzhao army raided Chengdu Prefecture, the offensive and invasion was like fire, and the place where the soldiers passed was like a grate. The Splendid Shu Land was devastated, the cities and villages were reduced to ruins, and no less than 300,000 people were captured to refine the poison, thousands of miles away. The place was deserted, leaving only pits filled with bones where people died for refining Gu.

These tragic scenes were filmed by Shushan Feijian Scouts carrying video snails and broadcast live to the people across the country on a regular basis.

Luo Feng made this arrangement because the Nanzhao army's invasion did not spread across the country, and the war disaster was concentrated in Shu. In order to let the people across the country feel the same, intuitively understand the cruelty of war, and learn that if they do not rise up to resist, they will only die.

In case the soldiers at the front are fighting hard, but the people behind are singing and dancing, the people think that if the butcher's knife does not fall on their heads, they don't need to lay down and wait for rescue.

The leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult did not care about the people's disfavor and indulged his barbarian soldiers to do all kinds of evil. He was not afraid at all that he would win the world but lose the people's support. As a top Gu Master, if the people disobey, he only needs to plant a three-corpse Gu. That's it, why bother selling Huairou?

In the original plot, this man was unpopular in his hometown of Nanzhao, and the Black Miao people were full of complaints because of his harm, so much so that Ling'er returned to the country alone. Instead of stopping him, the people not only did not stop him, but also came together to welcome him because they missed the witch queen. Now he is invading other countries. The country is even more unscrupulous and does not regard the people of the Central Plains as human beings.

The leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult was so arrogant that he actually helped Luo Feng a lot.

Using terror to shock people's hearts is an excellent way to rule. However, wherever there is oppression, there will be resistance. If you personally impose bloody rule on the people to force them to obey, you will often be labeled as a dictator, and sooner or later you will be overthrown by the revolutionary masses.

But if a foreign invader intimidates the people on behalf of Luo Feng, Luo Feng can be both a bitch and a memorial arch. Even if the order given is very inhumane, the people will definitely complain in peacetime, but in the emergency period of foreign invasion, the people will be They take it for granted.

A leader with an IQ of 80, the most stupid leader of the National Congress of Hope in history, had his support ratings about to hit rock bottom before the plane crashed into the building. As soon as terrorism started to cause trouble, he was re-elected with high support ratings without any doubt. There are many twists and turns in this. To this day, there are still people who continue to expose conspiracy theories.

In all parts of the country except Shu, under Luo Guoshi's call, people actively performed labor service and worked overtime in factories to produce weapons and gunpowder. They refused to get off work even after vomiting blood.

Even if the people are asked to donate money and materials to support the front line, and young people are forced to serve in the army, it is promoted as defending the home and the country, and joining the army is an honor, and has won the unanimous support and strong support of the masses.

This time Luo Feng used the Zhan Wang Qi Technique, and saw the billowing energy coming from all over the country, circling and gathering at the top of Chang'an Imperial City, and the hearts of the people of the world were gathered on the head of Queen Ling'er.

Luo Feng was not too surprised by this result. If he only relies on welfare to win the hearts of the people, he will only become a pervert who eats too much every day and has nothing to do but play to death.

Patriotism does not come from living a good life, but from being bullied by other countries. When Mongolia swept across Europe and Asia, except for a few cities in the Central Plains, they were not just looking at the wind and being tortured by the Mongols as fifth-class people. For decades, a beggar monk could appear out of thin air and warriors all over the land could appear.

After all, this is a world that is worse than worse. As a ruler, you don’t have to be perfect. Excellence depends entirely on the support of your peers. With a top anti-human opponent like the Moon Worshiping Cult Leader to intimidate the common people on behalf of Luo Feng, will his prestige be immediately affected? Is it high?

Not to mention that Luo Feng had done a good job in governing the country before. Even if he was a mediocre and incompetent corrupt official who only wanted to let the people have food to eat, he was still better than the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult who wanted to kill them.

The common people are living a fairy life where they have nothing to worry about eating and drinking every day and can watch beautiful girls live broadcast, but no one is a cheap person and is willing to be a drug dregs or a Gu slave?

Nowadays, the people of the Central Plains have begun to truly remember the goodness of Imperial Concubine Luo. No one is behind her back to arrange dirty jokes about the demon concubine to confuse the Queen and bring trouble to the imperial court. They all hope that this misunderstood loyal minister of the ages can assist Her Majesty the Queen to recover. Nanzhao war disaster.

…

The Nanzhao army spent ten days under the Yuzhou City, digesting the people they had captured and refining them into a new batch of Gu worms. Then the entire army came out of the camp and formed a formation in the city.

Gu masters wearing black robes and holding skull staffs came out in large numbers, reciting ancient witchcraft spells that were difficult to pronounce, and released diseased Gu masters that had been fed with human flesh.

All the Gu masters waved their magic staffs in unison, and the Gu insects flew towards the head of Yuzhou City overwhelmingly.
