As Li De judged, Yunyang's army retreated.
Li Yi should have summoned Yunyang's senior generals in the military tent, and promised them various benefits in exchange for their support. After all, he is Yunyang's eldest son, the number one heir, and shoulders Yunyang's orthodoxy. At this point in time when Lord Yunyang is critically ill, as long as he is willing to put down his face and deliberately win over, most people are still willing to recommend him as Lord Yunyang.
The reason is very simple. Although it is a great achievement to assist other Yunyang princes to rise to the top, the cost is also very high. Don't look at the overwhelming calls for changing the son some time ago, when it really comes to this kind of army crossing the single-plank bridge, those sons will start fighting among themselves. If they want to defy all opinions and assist a little-known son to inherit the throne, these high-ranking generals must first weigh whether they have the strength.
In contrast, it is much easier to elect Liyi to the top. As long as Liyi offers a price that is enough to make them tempted, the generals in Yunyang will naturally be willing to do this favor.
Not everyone is willing to make a big gamble. People with a good life like them are more willing to do a business that is sure to make a profit.
Then there is actually only one thing Liyi has to do—
Go back to Lingyun City as soon as possible, complete the relevant ceremonies as soon as possible, and confirm your identity as the lord of Yunyang, so as not to have long nights and dreams.
Yunyang's army retreated, while Yuxicheng's army chose to pursue without hesitation.
Naturally, Li Yi had no intention of fighting at all, he just wanted to go back quickly. It didn't matter to him any casualties in Yunyang's army, and it didn't matter if these people died. Even if he is the only one who returns to Lingyun City, as long as he successfully succeeds to the throne, he can mobilize the entire Yunyang army to come back for revenge.
As a result, Yunyang's army fled all the way from Xiaxin City, and all the grass and trees were full of soldiers.
The surviving elite army of more than 10,000 people was chased by thousands of people in a panic. This scene was seen by the people along the way, and then spread to farther and farther places.
The first time Li De returned to Yuxi City, he summoned Shuang and gave Anbu the next action plan:
"Immediately contact the other Young Masters of Yunyang, and say that Liyi killed his father to usurp the throne, and that he won the throne improperly. He will take the first step to build up the atmosphere. Even if he travels in the starry night, it will take time, and it will take at least a few days before he can return to Lingyun City, telling the world at least It will be a week later. With the Succubus Hall in our hands, we have an unparalleled advantage in time, and we are spreading conspiracy theories that the public loves, so the effect will only be better than that of Li Yi."
Frost lowered her head and asked:
"Yes, little girl, I'll do it now. But does the city lord want the other sons to rise up against Li Yi? Although they have some soldiers and horses in their hands, Li Yi occupies the status of the son after all. If Li Yi mobilizes Yunyang If the frontier army puts down the chaos, the other sons may not be his opponents."
Lied smiled and said:
"Li Yi is already the tallest of the dwarves. If my other brothers have the ability to kill him, my father doesn't have to insist on keeping him on top. It is unrealistic to expect them to kill Li Yi. Our goal is to muddy the water. Then— "
There was no smile on Lied's face, and he said coldly:
"Conscription. You can divide the land and real estate within three years of joining the army in Yuxi City, and the tax rate will not increase for twenty years. When we answered Yunyang's declaration of war before, we gave a statistical data, and the spread effect among the people at the bottom has been considerable. Broadly, now that we have proved that we have the strength to defeat Yunyang head-on, their last worries will dissipate. In addition, there will be a wave of chaos in Yunyang itself in the future, and the people will know how to choose."
Lide patted Shuang on the shoulder and said:
"So this time the public opinion must be done well. Remember that the target audience of the propaganda is not the nobles, but the ordinary people below. For specific operations, you can connect with the Cultural and Propaganda Department of the Shaoyu Camp. They are familiar with this. The core The goal is that we must bring in a large number of people who have a sense of belonging to us in the shortest possible time. It doesn’t matter if there are nails from other territories among them, and we can check it out slowly later.”
Shuang bowed deeply and said:
"The little girl understands."
Needless to say Liddo, Shuang is also very aware of the importance of this matter. For this day, Yuxi City has made various preparations in advance, especially after Yun Ye joined Yuxi City, she has been trying to change the common people's view of Yuxi City. For this reason, everyone in Yuxi City from top to bottom has made various efforts, just for this moment, the real foundation of Yuxi City can be laid in one fell swoop.
Defeating armies, capturing cities, and destroying buildings is all about stopping the boiling water.
Plundering the population is the real bottom line.
For the first time, Shuang felt that the burden on her shoulders was extremely heavy. Fortunately, Lide also gave her enough power to allow her to display her talents at will. Some people are born geniuses in certain aspects, while others need to rely on acquired transformation to step up to the high stage step by step. This is a transformation for Shuang. If she can complete it smoothly, it means that she has really taken a step forward. She is no longer buying the Anbu brain that "make do with it" sent by Hilo, but a genuine one. Queen Anbe of Yuxi City.
After Shuang left, Lide saw He Yue again.
The influx of a large number of people is inevitable, and Yuxi City needs to plan their living places in advance. Soldiers cannot exist independently, and they also have their own family members. How to properly arrange them requires He Yue to plan carefully. Fortunately, after acquiring the giant infrastructure team, the overall construction speed of Yuxi City has been improved, and Heyue has enough manpower and material resources.
"Speaking of He Yue, when things in Yunyang stabilize, are you interested in making a big news?"
He Yue and Li De stood side by side in front of the window and asked:
"What do you mean?"
Lied looked back at her, and said with a smile:
"Since the founding of Eternal Heaven Kingdom, nobles have almost monopolized most of the power. Ordinary people who want to display their talents must either join other people's command and become staff, or they can only rely on connections to enter the officialdom. The royal family of Eternal Heaven Kingdom has seen this problem, so The Baiyiwei was established to search for capable people all over the world, and choose the best one to serve as Baiyi Qingxiang. But there are so many capable people in the world, when to find them one by one, I hope they can find them by themselves Come to the door."
He Yue leaned over her cheek, her delicate face was a little bit puzzled:
"Like Hakuho? No, you mean—"
Lid shook his head:
"No. It's not to rely on personal charm to attract staff, but to select a large number of outstanding talents through scientific examinations. You can understand that the system of the general school is extended to the whole world. This eternal kingdom of heaven ranges from powerful to slaves. As long as you have excellent grades in the scientific examination, you can directly come to our Yuxi City to become an official. Although the promotion and promotion in the future need to be evaluated according to their actual performance, at least it gives everyone a way to go up... "
A smile appeared on the corner of Lied's mouth, and he said softly:
"In this world, the top batch of talented people have almost been divided up. It is already difficult for me to dig the walls one by one. It is already difficult to meet the development speed of Yuxi City. So I plan to set up an automatic harvest. Opportunity, it doesn’t matter if they pick first, let’s take all the remaining talents with potential...package and bring them back."
