It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 631

Song Bokang has been busy recently. On the one hand, he had to concoct a reason for attacking Bailisheng, on the other hand, he secretly dispatched troops, and on the other hand, he had to set aside his energy to deal with Cheng Dalei.

Although busy, there is always good news coming. After exchanging Shuofang City for Xue Wenting, Song Bokang immediately sent her to Jingzhou. Cui Xiang was very happy and promised to give Song Bokang a batch of food and grass support.

Now that Bailisheng is the turtle in the urn, the Dragon Army promised to help, ensuring that Cheng Dalei would not do anything secretly. In this way, eliminating Bailisheng is already a sure thing.

But this naturally could not satisfy Song Bokang's ambitions. After taking care of Bailisheng, his next goal was to deal with Cheng Dalei and make himself the king of Liangzhou worthy of the name.

What to do now is to concentrate on dealing with Bailisheng and temporarily appease Cheng Dalei. Shuofang City was already like a deep puddle, and Cheng Dalei fell into it. If Cheng Dalei did not have the courage to break his wrist, he would not be able to escape from this quagmire. What Song Bokang had to do was to think of a way to increase Cheng Dalei's consumption, so that it would be easier to deal with him when he turned around.

"Your Majesty, where can we find someone to give it to Cheng Dalei?" Lu Luo asked.

"Hey, Haojia, Wuwei, Jincheng, and Liangzhou City, where we are located, are mostly homeless homeless people. Give them all to Cheng Dalei, and we can also save trouble." Song Bokang said.

There are many refugees in the empire. These people are either displaced due to the destruction of their homes due to the war, or they are bullied by bully landlords, or because of natural and man-made disasters, all of which are combined, so they can only go to the city to beg for a living.

Not only in Liangzhou, but all over the empire, there are homeless refugees like this. Otherwise, Lin Shaoyu would not have responded so many people when he rose up.

"Your Majesty, you can give these people to Cheng Dalei. If he recruits troops from them, wouldn't we help him in disguise."

"Hey, that's why you worry too much. The refugees in the city are either brave and ruthless, or lazy and lazy, and the rest are the old and weak, women and children, and rely on these people to fight? Oh, a joke. Even if Cheng Dalei can Gather them together, but these mouths all have to eat. How long can Cheng Dalei's family support them. Even if there is food in the autumn... But do you think I will allow them to survive this autumn? "

"Your Majesty, Gao." Lu Luo couldn't help but said.

Song Bokang waved his hand and said, "Don't talk too much about flattery. Hurry up to do this matter, and it must be done without leakage, so as not to cause Cheng Dalei's suspicion. At present, the most important thing for us is how to deal with Bailisheng."

Cheng Dalei is planning ahead, and Bailisheng is the primary enemy in front of him. Regarding him, Song Bokang has made many preparations, cut off Bailisheng's food route, sent troops from Wuwei and Jincheng, and adopted a siege of Bailisheng's main force instead of attacking.

If a tough battle is fought, even if they can win a hundred miles in the end, Song Bokang will suffer serious losses. He didn't want to pay such a high price, and waited for Bailisheng to run out of food and grass, and then annihilated the enemy in one fell swoop.

The place where Bailisheng sits is called Langshan Pass, which is a dangerous place. The land is barren. Outside the pass, there is an endless grassland.

The siege has been going on for some days, and Bailisheng has 30,000 troops in his hands, so far the two sides have not seen a battle. But these 30,000 Zhuangzui are invisible enemies, consuming the food and forage of Langshan Pass day by day.

The hall was a mess, and the lieutenant generals and generals... It seemed that one person had eight mouths, and he wished that all mouths were closed, and everyone listened to their own.

"Fight, how can we fight. The surnamed Song doesn't fight us at all, and Song Bokang's troops far exceed us, how can we be opponents."

"Song Bokang holds the imperial decree in his hand, saying that we are thieves. It is nothing to die for the country and the people, but even if our brothers die on the battlefield, we have to be stabbed in the spine."

After all the chaos, someone finally looked at Baili Sheng and said, "Master Hou, you have an idea."

Bai Lisheng sat behind the handsome case, holding his cheeks in his hands and never said a word. He did not participate in the noisy arguments in the hall. Naturally, he was not happy in his heart, and wanted to complain, coax, and even curse. But as the owner of a land, he must take responsibility, and there is no time to complain now.

"Noisy, why don't you stop arguing and see if you can come up with a way?" Baili Sheng said.

The hall gradually became quiet, and everyone bowed their heads and sighed. Bailisheng's lieutenant Chang Mingzhi said: "Master Hou, maybe there is only one person who can help us right now?"

"Who?" Bailisheng said: "You're talking about Cheng Dalei, right? Don't you know that Song Bokang gave Cheng Dalei a city, and Cheng Dalei is a villain who forgets his righteousness. together."

Bailisheng sighed deeply. He and Cheng Dalei had dealt with each other very early, and they did not meet each other once or twice. But Cheng Dalei didn't care about friendship at all, and this time he joined hands with Song Bokang to kill him. Bailisheng didn't hate Song Bokang very much, but when he mentioned Cheng Dalei, he gritted his teeth.

"Master Hou, what should we do? The food and grass in the pass won't last for a few days. If things go on like this, we can only stretch our necks and wait for others to behead their heads."

"Master Hou, my subordinates have a plan that may break the game, but I don't know if I should say it or not." Sun Ming's way.

"It's this time, what else are you selling, let's talk straight." Baili Sheng said.

"Then Song Bokang is determined to kill them all this time. The two armies may not be our opponents, not to mention Song Bokang will not confront us at all. There is only one way to break the game."

"Say?"

"You can't go east, you can only go west. To the west is the vast grassland. Song Bokang said that we colluded with the Rong tribe, and it was a heinous thing. We simply turned against the empire and went to the Rong tribe."

After the speech, there was silence in the hall, many people whispered and their expressions flickered.

The Empire and the Rong tribe are enemies of life and death, and guarding the border is to prevent the Rong tribe from invading. If everyone joins the Rong tribe, they will become sinners of the empire through the ages. But what the empire has done this time is indeed sorry for them. Now, they have been abandoned by the empire and become abandoned sons that no one cares about.

In the end, everyone's eyes fell on Bailisheng, waiting for him to finally make up his mind.

After a long time, Bailisheng stood up, handed over and rushed to the people: "Everyone, we are soldiers of the empire in life, and death is the soul of the empire. If you die in this battle, you will die. You must not betray the country to survive."
