From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 1058

Acting is not difficult. Everything is thought out. Just follow the script.

The streets were cleaned up, the bodies were transported out of the city and burned, the houses were repaired as soon as possible, and the people were resettled.

Zhou Yuan accompanied Wanyan Daichan to gather nobles and prestigious people, and spoke to countless people outside the palace square in the center of Shenzhou City.

It was nothing more than comforting people, nothing more than constantly deepening the impression of Zhou Yuan and Dajin in the people.

Of course, sensationalism is still necessary.

"Shenzhou was looted, nine out of ten houses were empty, and there was no food left."

"I, Zhou Yuan, really couldn't bear to see the people starving and unable to survive. So I sent food here, and no one in each household distributed it, so that we could get through the difficult times together."

"It's already July, and the autumn harvest will be coming soon. If you hold on, you will definitely get by."

Wang Xiong, of course, had to stand up and shouted, "Marshal! No! Absolutely not! Those are our military rations!"

"How can we fight if we give the food to the people!"

Zhou Yuan said angrily, "No matter how important it is, it can't be more important than the lives of the people in Shenzhou!"

"The war can be delayed! But eating can never be delayed!"

Wang Xiong hurriedly said, "Please think twice, Marshal!"

Zhou Yuan shouted loudly, "Huang Taiji doesn't want Shenzhou anymore, but I, Zhou Yuan, can't just sit back and watch. There's no need to talk about this anymore. Hurry up and transport the food and distribute it to everyone in batches."

Qu Ling's food was almost here, and Zhou Yuan had plenty of confidence.

As countless people knelt in gratitude, Zhou Yuan said many inspiring words, completely stabilized the situation, and then slowly left.

He lowered his voice and said: "Tell Qu Ling that the food cannot be distributed all at once, and at most two or three days at a time, so that every time they receive food, they will know the kindness of Dajin."

"It will take more than one day to truly change the faith of this city. We must continue to brainwash through food distribution, and ask the Jurchen nobles to cooperate in propaganda."

"Buy more beggars and let them participate in public opinion."

"At the latest this year, the entire Shenzhou must completely recognize Dajin, and radiate to surrounding areas."

Wang Xiong nodded and said: "I understand, and... Lord Guan Lu arrived three quarters of an hour ago."

"Oh?"

Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly said: "Hurry, let him come to see me."

He came to the temporary general's mansion, and Guan Lu walked in, his face full of fatigue, dark eyes, and drowsy.

Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment before he asked, "How far did you run?"

Guan Lu sat down and took a sip of strong tea, then shook his head and said, "I've been too busy recently and have little time to sleep, but the results are pretty good. At least we have spread out to the surrounding areas of Liaodong. After the intelligence camp is established, we can spread out to the Inner Khalkha area."

Zhou Yuan said, "What do you think about the Tsarist Raid Corps?"

Guan Lu said, "The opponent is very strong, and our intelligence can't penetrate it."

"But Zhang Fei caught a few people alive. After interrogation, we learned that the highest commander of the Raid Corps is Andrei, who is 32 years old this year, with the rank of colonel. He is cold and sober, has strict military discipline, and is a rare talent."

Zhou Yuan asked in confusion, "A 32-year-old colonel? What's his background?"

Guan Lu sighed, "This is the most terrifying thing. He has no background."

Without a background, he can get the rank of colonel at the age of 32 purely by relying on combat capabilities. This is really terrifying.

You have to know that this is not a nominal colonel in St. Petersburg, nor is it used to decorate the facade for the children of the nobles, but a real colonel with real power.

Zhou Yuan said: "I sent cavalry to chase them on the official road east of Shenzhou in advance. Can they hold them?"

"No, it's useless."

Guan Lu immediately said: "This Andre has a deep understanding of intelligence. He will separate the cavalry of the assault corps and spread them in various directions in a special way. Any spies who approach will be suppressed."

"We can never get close to the main force. We can only roughly judge the route of the other party's main force through the movement trajectory of the other party's cavalry spies on the periphery, but because the route of the other party's cavalry spies is erratic, our judgment is often not accurate enough."

"And we dare not trust this vague judgment too much, which is easy to be counter-played by the other party."

Zhou Yuan lay on the chair and stretched.

He was silent for a long time before he said, "We met a master. Did you see the words on the eastern wall?"

Guan Lu smiled and said, "I saw them. They are arrogant and confident."

"It seems that there is nothing wrong with saying that he wants to go to Jianzhou. As for where he will really go, it depends on what the lord thinks."

Zhou Yuan said, "The waves are ever-changing, but they always follow the ocean currents. The strategic goal of destroying the enemy's rear base is here. He can do whatever he wants.Rao, he will eventually go to Jianzhou."

"We are not in a hurry to go to Jianzhou. Let's wait for Liu Fang and others to arrive and make unified arrangements."

Guan Lu smiled and said, "It seems that the lord has already had detailed ideas."

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said, "It's not detailed, but we will take it one step at a time. Calculating the time, Liu Fang and others will arrive in about two days. You need to rest."

Guan Lu said, "It's time to rest, but about whether Huang Taiji will shrink the defense line..."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "No need to contact, it's too late to contact, he will know what to do."

...

Standing on the simple city tower, Huang Taiji looked at the bloody sunset and remained silent.

He knew that his life was coming to an end, just like this sunset.

Calculating the time, Shenzhou has collapsed, it is destruction and reconstruction, and his future fate is not something he can control.

"Who would have thought that I would end up like this. "

He sighed softly, but unfortunately no one could listen to him anymore.

The passing of heroes is often silent.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we have detected that the enemy is moving eastward on a large scale."

The voice of the guards sounded.

Huang Taiji closed his eyes. As he expected, something had happened in Shenzhou.

The enemy was going to attack Jianzhou and then move to Guhewei and Tuduhewei. Gumanyev's move here was to concentrate his forces to break through the defense line north of Asujiangwei, complete the meeting with the assault corps, and then completely destroy the entire defense line to the west, completing the great victory in the first stage of the war.

What a beautiful idea they have!

It seems that there is really no way to stop them.

Huang Taiji laughed and said softly: "But how could you have thought that I had already made plans to sacrifice?"

He slowly turned his head, with only determination in his eyes, and said in a concentrated voice: "Send the order! All the soldiers from the defense lines from Xingkai Lake to Sayihe Guard gathered and rushed to Asujiang Guard! "

"In this battle, the Jurchens have no way out!"

The sunset finally fell.

Huang Taiji Darkness quickly descended on this land.

For a moment, Huang Taiji was a little dazed.

But after a long silence, he finally laughed.
