Guo Jie asked in doubt: "What's going on?"

Ju Meng grinned and said, "I think the people in the city have gathered here."

"I encountered them when I was cleaning up the dead soldiers. They were all veterans who had retired years ago."

"I didn't expect that there would be so many old soldiers in Jingzhou City who were not very conspicuous."

"Old Zhang, the vegetable vendor on the street, took down eight people with his bare hands without even taking a breath."

Guo Jie also smiled lightly: "I told you all a long time ago that there are many great people in this world. Don't think too highly of yourself. Do you understand now?"

With the addition of these veteran soldiers, even if the palace was occupied by rebels, he would have a greater chance of rushing in and rescuing His Majesty.

He distributed labor service according to the amount of land he owned, exempting the people from labor service. He was truly the best emperor ever seen!

Such a good emperor cannot die at the hands of traitors.

"Hero Guo."

"Meet you, Hero Guo!"

“…”

Almost all the people who came knew Guo Jie. They greeted him and then gathered behind him.

More and more people gathered under the city, and everyone had a weapon in their hands.

Soon nearly ten thousand people gathered!

On top of the city wall.

Moss, the deputy general sent by Pharmacist Li, asked worriedly, "Major General, should we disperse these people?"

There were only three hundred of them, and the city gates were broken.

If Guo Jie led these people to forcibly attack the city, it would be difficult for them to stop them.

Li Dejian shook his head and said with a knowing smile, "No need. They are all here to protect Your Majesty."

"The ancient texts describe welcoming the royal army with baskets of food and pots of water. I'm afraid this is all it takes, isn't it?"

Li Dejian lay on the city wall, looking at the growing crowd below, and chanted softly.

“Those who are righteous will have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous will have few.”

"What the people want has always been very little, and very simple."

"It's nothing more than living, living easily."

"Brother, I understand."

Who would have thought that a female tyrant could gain so much support and admiration from the people?
