Chapter 126 Attacking Nanyang



He then thought of Dong Zhonglou, who was hiding in Nanyang, and that the current situation in Henan was caused by him.

While most of Henan became a disaster area, he hid in Nanyang, living a life of luxury.

But thinking of Dong Zhonglou's tens of thousands of soldiers in Nanyang, he still felt a chill and said:

"But Nanyang has tens of thousands of soldiers and officers, and our strength..."

Qi Anyao said to Li Hongji in front of him:

"Your Majesty, our strength is insufficient, but what if we add the strength of the rebel armies in various parts of Henan?"

When Dong Zhonglou breached the Yellow River dike, he turned most of Henan into a disaster area.

Seeing the current state of Henan, every Henan disaster victim wishes they could eat its flesh and drink its blood.

However, he ensured his safety by keeping his army holed up in Nanyang to protect himself.

Now that Your Majesty has received the title from Li Qin, you can use Li Qin's banner to gather the rebel armies from all over Henan.

Together they attacked Nanyang.

One reason is that all the members of the various rebel armies are from Henan and have a deep hatred for Dong Zhonglou.

On the other hand, it's because Henan, except for Nanyang, has already been severely damaged.

Both the north and the south are keeping a close watch on us, so we can only stay in this part of Henan.

The rebels themselves were refugees who had become displaced by the disaster, wandering around in search of food.

They only cause destruction, without paying attention to local production.

Now, apart from Nanyang, there's basically nothing left to eat in Henan.

Therefore, people are now killing each other in various parts of Henan, fighting for the already scarce grain reserves.

If Your Majesty were to use Li Qin's name as a symbol of the imperial court to intimidate them and exploit their hatred for Dong Zhonglou...

At the same time, they used the grain from Nanyang as bait, while promising them official positions, telling them that the king was a second-rank general in the imperial court.

As long as you follow the king, you can become an official in the imperial court in the future.

He won over most of them to his command and had them join him in attacking Nanyang for food.

At the same time, during the conquest, the king can establish a command relationship with them by promising them official positions.

Then the situation in various parts of Henan can be determined.

At the same time, we can also borrow troops from Li Qin. We don't need them to take action; their mere presence will be enough to deter the rebel armies in various places.

Moreover, Dong Zhonglou of Nanyang feared Li Qin's army like a tiger. If he saw Li Qin's army appear in Nanyang, he might just abandon the city and flee.

Even if they do nothing, just their presence will greatly boost the king's prestige.
