Chapter 83: The battle for people's hearts, one step behind! (Subscribe)

Time flies, and the years are like a horse.

In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed.

Inside Handan City.

"How could Shang Chuqing be so rampant?"

Lin Zhongyun stared at the rebel leaders in the hall with sharp eyes, frowned and said, "If you stop at the brink of disaster, I will forgive you for what happened?"

"Is this person trying to disturb the people of Cangzhou?"

The expressions of all the commanders in the hall were extremely ugly.

As soon as Lin Zhongyun finished speaking, Li Zhongwu almost immediately stepped forward, bowed to Lin Zhongyun and said, "My lord, this man is too arrogant. I have already found out that he has only 20,000 troops under his command."

"I request your permission to go and fight!"

Li Zhongwu's face was full of anger. Shang Chuqing's slight to Lin Zhongyun already made him very angry.

As soon as he finished speaking, other leaders also asked to fight.

"My lord! I'm willing to fight!"

"I am willing to lead a group of brothers as the vanguard to test Shang Chuqing!"

"."

The emotions of all the soldiers were extremely excited. After so much study, these commanders were no longer as undisciplined as they were in the past.

Almost all of these people followed Lin Zhongyun in the rebellion from the very beginning, so one can imagine how loyal they were to Lin Zhongyun.

Now that they saw that Shang Chuqing actually underestimated Lin Zhongyun, they were naturally angry.

Looking at the generals in front of him, Lin Zhongyun also had a gloomy expression.

However, he still did not act impulsively, but spoke directly to suppress the emotions of the soldiers.

Would Shang Chuqing be so simple?

Obviously impossible.

If he was really such a simple person, how could he be called the God of War?

Lin Zhongyun did not doubt the bravery and loyalty of the people under his command, but he had to admit that for these people who had fought their way up from the bottom.

When it comes to fighting, most of them are still in the reckless stage. Although there has been some progress compared to the beginning, it is still early!

Now is definitely not the time for them to mobilize troops directly.

While thinking, Lin Zhongyun waved his hand to send back all the generals, and then called out the system in his mind.

Upload this matter.

And add text.

"Shang Chuqing has arrived in Yuzhou and has led his army straight to Cangzhou. He has also spread the news that he wants to hunt with me in Cangzhou."

After entering the content, Lin Zhongyun chose to upload the video without any hesitation.

After a month of development, Lin Zhongyun’s Douyin fans have now exceeded 500,000.

And they are all active fans, with extremely high activity level.

As soon as it was uploaded, dozens of comments immediately popped up in the comment section.

"Good fellow, hunting in Cangzhou? Is this god of war so good at pretending?"

"This is a vicious plot. This guy is obviously trying to use his reputation to deceive the people of Cangzhou. You have just taken over Cangzhou not long ago, and your foundation is not stable. This guy is not simple!"

"This God of War seems to have something special. He will attack the heart first."

"Don't be afraid of him. You have an army of more than 100,000, and he only has 20,000. Just march out of Cangzhou and defeat him!"

"??? No one really thinks that we have the advantage in terms of military strength, right? Although it seems that he only has two men, he has the imperial court behind him, and he has the support of soldiers from two states. If he attacks rashly, he will surely die, right?"

"This is a crappy game. If they don't release any sex scenes, I'll unfollow you!"

"."

As Lin Zhongyun read the comments one by one, his heart gradually became heavy.

These people's analysis is obviously correct.

He now occupies Cangzhou, but his foundation is not stable. Except for Handan and Shuntian where he is currently, the other three counties are all in the initial stage.

It still takes time to gain a firm foundation!
Shang Chuqing probably realized this.

Instantly, Lin Zhongyun couldn't help but frown, and then he started to read the comments again.

As expected, Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick are still Lin Zhongyun's biggest backers at present, and their comments arrived as expected a few minutes later.

Lin Daiyu angrily killed the Maitreya Buddha: "Don't panic, this is just a trick to attack the heart. I have already discussed it with Brother Wolong. This trick is nothing to worry about. Brother Wolong, just say it. @Shangguan Wolong!"

Shangguan Wolong: "Brother Nuzhan is right. This plan is nothing to worry about. You can calm people's hearts by dividing the land and other actions. Only when interests are shared will people's hearts be absolutely stable! What you need to do now is to share interests!"

"The way to share interests is very simple, and it is no different from what you did before. Now it has rained in Cangzhou, and life has emerged."

"You can definitely take this opportunity to create momentum and exempt all of Cangzhou from this year's tax grain. You can use this opportunity to let the people recuperate, and at the same time you will tie everyone's interests together."

"Don't be reluctant to give up this year's tax grain. You have to believe that as long as you do this, no one in the entire Cangzhou will be willing to let you fail. If you lose, the court will not let go of their grain."

After such a long period of judgment, Lin Zhongyun had already figured out the characteristics of Crouching Dragon, Phoenix Chick, Turtle and Monkey.

Fengchu is good on the battlefield.

What Wolong is good at is domestic affairs and major strategies.

The Turtle is the same as Crouching Dragon. The two of them are a powerful combination, but he also knows a little about warfare. He is a combination of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick. He knows a little about everything but is not as proficient.

Although Monkey didn't take action very often, this kid has been commenting some sexy words every day these days, so it's self-evident what he is good at.

As for Pi Dan, he rarely says anything, but every time he speaks, it is extraordinary.

For example, this time, he also left a comment.

Pidan solo porridge: "Shang Chuqing's strategy of using people's hearts can actually be used by you. He has grievances against the two important officials of the court, and the late emperor once said that he would never let this person return to the court. Why don't you have people build momentum to put pressure on the court? For example, give the emperor a bad name for being unfilial? Or create a rift between them?"

Lin Zhongyun read through all the plans of the several people carefully, and his thoughts began to work rapidly at this moment.

Actually, Wolong’s comment is quite good.

If you want to win the hearts of the people, exempting this year's grain taxes and allowing the people of Cangzhou to recover is definitely the best policy.

You know, even if Cangzhou has really recovered its vitality today.

But it’s almost the end of summer now.

Even if these people act faster and are able to plant the crops, this year's harvest will definitely not be very good.

After capturing Handan City, the grain reserves in Handan City and the grain and fodder of Prince Su's Mansion have made it so that Lin Zhongyun no longer has to worry about food and fodder.

This plan is not impossible.

Giving up this year's tax grain will not only allow the people of Cangzhou to recover, but when they directly use the resource enhancement coupons next year, they can maximize the effect of the resource enhancement coupons!
The most important thing is that I will completely take root in Cangzhou!

As for the strategy that Pidan commented on, there is no need to say more!

After growing for so long, Lin Zhongyun instantly came up with some countermeasures. How could he not use them?

While thinking, Lin Zhongyun immediately called out the task panel in his mind.

[Suggestions received: (Completely win over the hearts of the people of Cangzhou and take root in Cangzhou.)]

[Mission Difficulty: FA]

[Task Rewards: You will receive corresponding rewards based on the task completion rating. ]

[Received a suggestion (to alienate Shang Chuqing and make the emperor bear the stigma of being unfilial.)]

[Mission Difficulty: FA]

[Task Reward: You will receive corresponding rewards based on the task completion rating.] [Suggestion received: (Restore the cultivated land in Cangzhou to cultivation.)]

[Mission Difficulty: FB]

【.】

Looking at the tasks on the virtual panel in front of him, Lin Zhongyun did not think too much, and then called all the officials in the government office over again.

Naturally, these things cannot be left to military generals alone, although most of these civil officials have served the court before.

But that's the nature of these people.

They work for whoever is their master, and now their master is Lin Zhongyun!

Soon, a group of old men walked in slowly.

Facing everyone, Lin Zhongyun immediately announced his plan!
Exempt Cangzhou from taxes for one year!

Moreover, grain seeds can be provided to all people for farming!
However, these grain seeds are borrowed and need to be repaid, and the repayment method is 30% of this year's harvest.

Now, there are countless people in Cangzhou who have no grain seeds. Lin Zhongyun can give up this year's small profit, but it is impossible for him to provide them with grain seeds for free.

Now Lin Zhongyun has to support a full 100,000 troops! And the number is increasing day by day.

Although the rate is much slower, it is still growing.

Whether it is money or food, the consumption is extremely high. Lending these grains can leave some room for oneself.

After all, although it seems that he is not short of food in the short term.

But when it comes to his own life and death, Lin Zhongyun’s main focus is on stability!
The officials were quite surprised by this, as they seemed to have never expected that Lin Zhongyun would make such a decision.

At this moment, the eyes that were originally very turbid actually showed a hint of light.

It seems that because they no longer have the worry-free life they used to have, they have lost any sense of superiority.

Even though they were working for Lin Zhongyun, they no longer had the arrogance they once had when facing ordinary people.

It is also because of this that they finally recalled the scenes when they were young and studied hard.

Now when they heard Lin Zhongyun's plan, they were all touched.

One of the oldest officials immediately bowed to Lin Zhongyun and said, "Mr. Lin, are you serious about this?"

He was the governor of Cangzhou, the highest-ranking official under the governor.

To put it bluntly, he is the second in command.

"Of course." Lin Zhongyun nodded without hesitation.

Hearing this, the old man's eyes suddenly turned red.

The officials behind him all shuddered, and looking at Lin Zhongyun, whose expression was frank in front of them, they inexplicably felt ashamed.

They looked at each other for a few times, and were silent for a long time. Finally, they all bowed to Lin Zhongyun and said, "Mr. Lin's righteousness makes us ashamed."

Lin Zhongyun glanced at them indifferently, without saying much, and just gestured for them to leave.

That day, Lin Zhongyun's resolution was posted in front of the government office.

Instantly, the whole city was shaken!!!

"Mr. Lin really understands our hardship. He not only brought heavy rain, but also exempted us from taxes for a year. Mr. Lin is so righteous!"

"Old man, Mr. Lin provided us with seeds and grains. We can survive! We can raise our grandson!"

"The immortal Lin Gong has reincarnated and came down to earth to save the common people. Lin Gong is righteous!!!"

"."

Voices of gratitude rang out throughout the city of Handan.

In recent days, many refugees have poured into Handan City, although Lin Zhongyun has distributed some food to them according to previous practice.

But - don't forget that the food will run out sooner or later.

Moreover, many of these refugees only have the elderly and children in their families. No one in their families can join the rebel army, and food is scarce and there is no extra grain.

They can only barely survive for now!

But now it’s different, Lin Zhongyun gave them a way to survive!
Not only were they given arable land, but they were also lent seeds and exempted from taxes for a year!

How could they not be happy?
Common people gathered in front of the government office, paying homage to it from a distance, and shouting in unison such slogans as "Long live Lord Lin".

Moreover, this news spread rapidly to all parts of Cangzhou like a tide.

In just a few days, it had spread throughout Cangzhou.

For a moment, the entire Cangzhou was shaken, and the shouts from each city were like thunder, shaking the entire world.

It is precisely because of this that this news completely overshadowed the news released by Shang Chuqing.

In many cities, people appeared to report those who intended to rebel. Even officers and soldiers who had no intention of rebelling and were hiding in the dark were listed and reported to the rebel army stationed there!
The whole Cangzhou was filled with cheers!
at the same time.

Yuzhou, Gucheng County.

"General, this thief Lin Zhongyun exempted the people of Cangzhou from taxes for a year and lent them a lot of grain seeds so that they could farm."

Ji Dafu, dressed in battle armor, hurried into the camp, bowed to Shang Chuqing, and said directly: "Almost all the people we secretly sent to Cangzhou to incite rebellion have been pulled out!"

The voice just fell.

Chu Yun, who was standing next to Shang Chuqing, frowned immediately: "This Lin Zhongyun, is he so quick-witted?"

In his opinion, his husband's strategy was brilliant.

While Lin Zhongyun's foundation is not stable, he will disintegrate the Cangzhou front from within. As long as there is chaos in Cangzhou, Lin Zhongyun will definitely send troops to suppress it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, we can attack Lin Zhongyun from both sides.

But he never expected that Lin Zhongyun would come up with this idea to use interests to suppress Shang Chuqing's reputation and stabilize Cangzhou.

The young Chu Yun was instinctively dissatisfied.

As Shang Chuqing's disciple, he was still a little arrogant. Thinking that Shang Chuqing mentioned Lin Zhongyun's name almost every day these days, he felt even more jealous.

"This boy is truly extraordinary!"

On the side, Shang Chuqing couldn't help but sigh softly and murmured.

All the generals in the hall immediately looked at him.

Although no one said anything, the look in their eyes seemed to have already said the four words "what to do".

Shang Chuqing's expression did not change at all, as if he had already thought of everything. He glanced at everyone and then slowly said:

"Pass my order, prepare to pacify the rebels in Yangzhou first."

"This Lin Zhongyun can't move for the time being."

Upon hearing this, the entire tent suddenly fell silent.

Almost everyone's eyes showed doubt, mixed with some disbelief.

Is Shang Gong giving in? ?
The young Chu Yun was even more excited and asked quickly: "Sir, why is it so? What about Lin..."

Before he could finish, Shang Chuqing interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"If this plan succeeds, we may be able to defeat this man with our 20,000-man army."

"But now our army is one step behind, and the entire Cangzhou is now like an iron road. If Lin Zhongyun is determined to defend Handan to the death, our army of 20,000 troops alone cannot break in."

After hearing this, all the soldiers immediately understood Shang Chuqing's meaning and nodded in response.

Chu Yun on the side also nodded. Although he was still extremely unwilling in his heart, his reason still suppressed all his emotions.

This is how war is fought, Shang Chuqing had taught him.

When you are on the battlefield, you must consider many factors, such as the time of war, the aircraft, and the battlefield. You must not act on impulse! .
