Zhou Xingche's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but the corners of his mouth curled up high: "No, Youzhou City has enough food, but we don't do such cruel and unscrupulous things."
After saying this, he winked at his confidant, who nodded and left.
The expressions of those nobles who had eaten humans changed. They wanted to defend themselves, but then they felt that it would be better not to admit it. They couldn't be killed just after surrendering.
As a result, Yu Zhou's army had a bad reputation.
Zhou Xingche thought the same thing and raised his glass to change the subject.
A group of people drank the strong liquor they found in the wine cellar, talking and laughing, as if nothing had happened.
Only Zhou Xingche knew that the policy of appeasement had changed and that Northern Liao must be massacred.
There wasn't much food in the palace, so Zhou Xingche asked someone to prepare something simple.
There were winter vegetables and dried mushrooms they brought from Northern Liao, as well as green leafy vegetables they had grown in the tent during this period.
There were also rabbits and wild boar meat hunted from the mountains, and sweet potatoes that General Zhou specially sent over to win people's hearts.
The sweet potatoes were not cooked carefully, but simply cut into pieces and boiled into a paste.
Everyone frowned as they looked at the grayish rice, subconsciously thinking that it didn't taste good.
Zhou Xingche took the lead and took a big sip. He also scooped up the sweet potato chunks and put them in his mouth, eating them with relish.
Lin Tao followed closely behind, and his eyes lit up after tasting the sweetness of the sweet potatoes.
He knelt on the ground and asked, "General Zhou, can we in Northern Liao really grow this in the future?"
Zhou Xingche shook his head and smiled at the other party's disappointed eyes: "It's not Northern Liao, but Great Zhou!
Now that they have surrendered, the Great Zhou will ensure that the people of Liaocheng have enough food and drink, and they have no worries! "
Lin Tao's eyes were filled with tears: "Thank you, General Zhou. I thank you on behalf of the people of Liaocheng!"
Zhou Xingche raised his hand and asked Lin Tao to stand up and continue eating and drinking.
Seeing this, the others also lowered their heads and tasted the porridge.
I found it tasteless, so I ate another piece of sweet potato, and then my eyes lit up with incredible brilliance.
Some people even wondered in their hearts why Zhou Jiajun was so lucky.
If this plant were discovered in Northern Liao, they would definitely be able to kill their way through Dayong.
The banquet ended here, and Lin Tao stayed until the end.
Zhou Xingche had a secret conversation with him and finally understood why Lin Tao rebelled.
It turned out that he had half the blood of Dayong. Although he had made great military achievements in Northern Liao, he was ostracized because of his unusual name and background.
The King of Northern Liao trusted him on the one hand, but looked down on him on the other, which resulted in his status being neither high nor low, which was quite embarrassing.
The most important thing is that Lin Tao has a son, who was born to him and a woman outside.
Lin Tao wanted the child to return to his ancestral home, but he was afraid that everyone would show respect to him in public but bully him in secret.
So they let the child hide his identity, join the army, and make a name for himself, and no one dared to say anything.
Things went quite smoothly. Although this child was born out of wedlock, he inherited Lin Tao's military talent.
He overcame all obstacles along the way and became a commander of two to three hundred people.
Unexpectedly, on a snowy night last year, the king was furious and called a few handsome men into the tent.
Then an unbearable roar came from the tent.
This is nothing. In that winter when several granaries were burned down by Zhou's army, Wang not only did not tighten his belt, but also ate meat with hearty mouthfuls.
He didn't understand until he lost contact with his son and launched a six-month investigation. Only then did he realize that the King of Northern Liao, who appeared to be diligent and caring for the people, was actually a beast in secret.
He stabbed the other side in the back because it was the general trend. Northern Liao could not defeat the Great Zhou, so there was no need to make unnecessary sacrifices.
Second, it is to avenge the child.
Now that I have done it, I feel empty inside.
Zhou Xingche patted his shoulder to comfort him and also revealed some of his future plans to him.
After listening to this, Lin Tao clasped his fists and bowed gratefully: "Thank you, General Zhou, for considering the people of Liaocheng. If you have any plans, I will definitely support them with all my strength."
Zhou Xingche said "hmm" and asked someone to send the man back. Then he wrote a letter and sent it back to Youzhou.
On the first day of October, notices were posted on the streets and alleys of Youzhou City. People looked at the contents on the walls and fell silent.
Youzhou wanted to be independent and form the Great Zhou Dynasty together with Liaocheng, the former Northern Liao Kingdom.
General Zhou proclaimed himself king.
It sounds like a fairy tale, but who dares to joke about the throne?
In other words, the sky has really changed!
The county government also sent runners to the village to inform everyone that they were now in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the founding emperor was Zhou Guangming, and the founding ceremony would be held on the first day of the first lunar month.
It was truly murderous and heartbreaking. He ascended the throne on the death anniversary of the old emperor of the Yong Dynasty and was simply stepping on the other party's face with his shoes.
I wonder how furious the new emperor in the capital would be when he finds out!
Chi Xingyue looked around and found that everyone's faces were full of confusion.
Even the yamen runners who delivered the news had happy expressions on their faces, as if they were very happy that they had changed their masters.
Chi Xingyue complained in his heart, aren’t you afraid that the Zhou family army will not be able to defeat Shangjing City and will be liquidated in the end?
However, the law does not hold everyone responsible, so even if they fail, they can still retain their public office.
After all, if the dynasty wants to function normally, it cannot do without these officials.
After the others left, the people in Qingshan Village gradually woke up from this shocking news.
"Oh my god, have we become citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
"Being a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty should be better than being a citizen of the Great Yong Dynasty!"
"And Liaocheng, are they truly surrendering? They won't say one thing to your face and another behind your back, will they?"
Similar conversations were heard in the streets and alleys of Youzhou City, but without exception, there was no resistance.
Chi Xingyue listened to everyone chatting for a while and then went back. He pulled Ling Jiheng back to Qingfeng Courtyard and said in a low voice, "My space has been upgraded!"
As he said that, he led him into the private room and found that the number on the electronic screen had changed.
[Space Soul Binding Progress 35%]
[Level 5 space upgrade progress 0%]
The efficacy of the spiritual spring water has recovered to 60%. As for the effect, it is similar to before, but it has been greatly enhanced.
Chi Xingyue hugged Ling Jiheng happily: "If you level up again, you can use your mental power."
Ling Jiheng stroked Chi Xingyue's fur and said, "Congratulations!"
After they recovered a little, they read the note at the bottom of the electronic screen, which stated the reason for the upgrade.
"Help the Zhou family army overthrow the corrupt Dayong Dynasty and nip the seeds of 'cannibalism' in the bud."
Chi Xingyue: "..."
The former is understandable because it is a hidden plot.
If the Third Prince had not made a stupid move, if the Third Prince's wife had not been reborn, it would be hard to say what the final outcome of the Dayong Dynasty would have been.
But what about the latter, is it related to her sweet potato seedlings?
Chi Xingyue came up with this incredible idea and suspected that her ultimate mission was to improve people's livelihood.
Woohoo, never mind, let’s go check out the refreshed space.
It’s such a magical experience, it’s always new and interesting every time I see it.
Chi Xingyue wandered around, and finally sat on a recliner under the roses, eating watermelon and listening to novels.
Ling Jiheng brought some food to the people in the detention room before coming to accompany her.
