Chapter 322 A Happy Consensus
At sunset, the sunset glowed the sky red.
Bai Li walked out of the room and onto the street in the rosy glow. He watched the people on the street closing their shops, the smoke rising from cooking fires, and the sounds of various children calling out to each other, mixed with the crowing of chickens and barking of dogs. He felt that this was a paradise on earth, full of the air of life.
What a wonderful world! We can't let war destroy it.
She decided not to use those powerful bullets anymore, as they were miniature bullets with too much destructive power.
To deal with ancient people who used cold weapons, you only need to use some "peanuts" to serve as a warning or deterrent.
"Li'er, where are you going?"
Are you born in the Year of the Dog?
Such a sensitive nose!
Bai Li turned around and looked at the newcomer with a smile, "I didn't go anywhere, I just came out for a walk after a good rest!"
"Your father just wanted to have dinner with you, but I didn't see you, so I came out to look for you."
"Then go back and don't keep him waiting for too long!"
Bai Li walked towards him, and when she got closer, Nangong Min naturally took her hand. She did not avoid it, and walked back with her fingers intertwined with his.
There was no one on the street at this time, so Nangong Min held her hand boldly and didn't want to let go for a moment, for fear that Bai Li would disappear again.
"Marshal Bai, is it really you?!"
A voice sounded, Bai Li turned around and saw it was the dog.
Nangong Min was like being stung by a bee and quickly let go of Bai Li's hand.
"It's me, dog, why are you here?"
The dog walked up excitedly and stared at Bai Li closely, as if afraid that she would run away.
"I heard this morning that Marshal Bai had returned. I was waiting nearby, wanting to see you."
The dog was full of excitement, as enthusiastic as if he saw his own family.
"I'm back, don't worry."
Bai Li treated him as her younger brother, who was exactly the same age as her cousin Bai Wulang.
"Marshal Bai, I'm so glad you're okay, so glad!"
"You don't even know that when you were away, the people in the city were terrified, afraid that you wouldn't come back, and then our lives would be hard!"
Listen, what is this? The people of the enemy country are actually afraid that she will leave and never come back.
According to common sense, the people should hope that the enemy generals will leave. But it can be seen how Simon treats his own people. He really doesn't treat them as human beings and makes the people so scared!
"Don't worry, as long as our Great Zhou army is here, you will all live a peaceful life."
We can’t talk about prosperity at the moment, but we can only ensure that the people don’t starve to death!
This year, Da Zhou had a bumper harvest of crops. In a year of severe drought, the harvest was greater than in previous years with good weather.
After we capture Simon, we will follow Bai Li’s planting methods in Simon next year, build water canals, set up water wheels, and plant Bai Li’s high-yield grain varieties, so that the people of Simon will no longer go hungry.
Gou'er confirmed that his Marshal Bai had returned safely and would not abandon Qinzhou City. He said goodbye happily and left, anxious to tell the people in the city.
Ever since Marshal Bai asked him to be the representative of the people, he humbly asked others for advice on how to be a good representative, and then visited the people's homes every day, truly fulfilling his duties.
However, the common people had no objection to the Great Zhou army. The only thing they had was that they were afraid that if they left, Qinzhou would be taken over by the Simon army again.
"This dog is really a simple-minded person."
As Nangong Min spoke, his hand naturally took Bai Li's hand again.
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have found him a job. He and his grandfather are both honest and good people."
"Speaking of which, I used to think that our Great Zhou Emperor wasn't compassionate enough towards the common people, but now by comparison, Emperor Simon is even worse."
"If an emperor cannot love his people like his own children and improve their livelihood, then he is not far from destruction!"
"I never thought that Li'er could govern a country!"
"I don't have any ability to govern a country. I just speak my mind."
"Just look at Simon and you'll understand. The empire built by his predecessor Simon was not maintained by his descendants. The court became increasingly corrupt, the people complained bitterly, the emperor lost the support of the people, and the foundation of the country was rotten from the root!"
"Indeed, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. How many people can understand the mystery behind this? Even if they do, how many can actually do it?"
Bai Li raised his eyes and talked about Nangong Min's political affairs. His ideological awareness was not at all that of later politicians.
Bai Li nodded in satisfaction. She and he shared the same values and could discuss many topics together, except...
"Li'er, as for setting up the ambush, can you just let me go?"
What you fear will come true. The topic that the two of them are stuck on has been brought up again.
"you……"
Bai Li rolled his eyes, softened his tone and said coquettishly, "You have more experience than me in leading troops in battle, and you are more patient than me.
So you need to guard the rear so that I can go there without hesitation to make some small moves.
Rather than commanding an army, I prefer to do things myself, because that way I can be more unbridled!"
Sure enough, Nangong Min felt much more comfortable after hearing this and stopped insisting.
"But I'm afraid. I'm afraid you'll disappear again. Then I..."
Nangong Min really wanted to say that he didn't want to live if Bai Li was not around, but thinking that Bai Li didn't like his decadent look, he could only think about it in his heart and didn't dare to say it out loud.
"No, have you forgotten the successful raid I led with 500 cavalrymen?
We have few troops, so we can only use special means. Otherwise, if we confront them head-on, we will surely be defeated!"
Nangong Min certainly understood this truth, otherwise the Great Zhou would not have endured silence for so many years.
Just because of insufficient military strength, you will be suppressed and beaten. Whatever you want will be taken away by others without being taken seriously at all.
To be honest, Nangong Min, Bai Zongren and others had never tried to lead such a small number of soldiers to fight against an enemy force that was dozens of times larger than theirs.
That is, Bai Li and Zhou Yu, one dared to speak, the other dared to do. The two of them together became extremely bold, and after whispering to each other, they came up with the plan of the Western Expedition.
He and Bai Zongren had no objection and accompanied her on the Western Expedition without hesitation because they had complete trust in Bai Li.
"Okay, fine. As long as you can promise not to disappear suddenly again, I can lead the troops to defend the city."
"That's right. One of us will be in charge of the exterior, and the other will be in charge of the interior. We must guard the city tightly. We can't let anyone take away the territory we conquered!"
Although this sounds a bit strange, it is the truth.
When Nangong Min heard that one was in charge of the outside and the other was in charge of the inside, he felt relieved. As for who was in charge of the outside and who was in charge of the inside, it didn’t matter anymore. It seemed that it wouldn’t be impossible to reverse it?
"Then it's settled. I'll lead my men to set up an ambush, and you'll stay behind with your troops to be my loyal support."
"Okay, you have to promise me that you will protect yourself.
I'll give you my personal soldiers. They will only obey me. If there's any danger, they'll stand in front of you."
Bai Li curled his lips and said, "Okay, but they can't stop me from doing things, and they can't restrict my freedom."
The two happily reached an agreement, and the slight unhappiness from their previous quarrel disappeared, and they had no grudges anymore.
