Chapter 1025: Unity
Although the news was blocked, everyone understands that the news will not be blocked for long.
As expected, soon, the news of Chen Jun's destruction began to spread among the public. At the beginning, many people just regarded it as rumors, so they didn't care.
Chen Yishou also chose to remain silent because he knew that the more he suppressed these rumors, the more he would deepen the fear in Luoyang City. But if he stood up to refute the rumors, then... one day, what should the court do if the bad news came? It was already at a precarious point. If this still made the court's reputation disappear, the consequences would be disastrous.
Fortunately, these rumors did not attract too much concern.
But what really made Luoyang City panic was the war reports of Chu, Yue and Shu.
The three countries each sent troops and even encroached on Dachen at an extremely fast speed.
In the past, the so-called "troops before the troops move, so any war is by no means a joke. A war, especially such a war to destroy the country, should be at least half a year in preparation, because hundreds of thousands of people need to gather, countless grains and grass need to be transported to the front first, soldiers and generals need to be dispatched, and even mobilized and mobilized. Any war is absolutely impossible to go hastily. After all, war is a major event for the country, and any slight negligence may have fatal consequences.
But this time, the three kingdoms all began to send troops hastily. Moreover, they almost did not take any precautions in the country, and even had no time to prepare for food and grass. They just advanced troops in the front and frantically transported food and grass on the back, or directly led Chendi and opened the treasury's grain.
This kind of playing style is not so much about fighting for life, but rather about winning time.
In an instant, after learning about the bad news, people in Luoyang immediately understood that the rumors were true.
If the Chen army had not been destroyed, if the countries had not received accurate information, how could it be so powerful that they would have been scrambling to advance their troops, and they were completely afraid of falling behind others.
When the Chen army was destroyed, the entire Chen was like an unguarded treasure. Whoever entered the treasure first would receive a huge reward.
In Luoyang City, there was a sudden wail.
Empress Dowager Mu had to issue an order to defend Luoyang to the death, and began to appease the people's hearts.
All the officials of the court were mobilized, and many people endured their grief, while many young and strong men began to pull up the city and defended themselves. The local new army was waiting for the battle. They were determined to live and die with Luoyang City.
The royal families had a premonition that the Great Chen Jiangshan was in danger of collapse. At this time, King Zhao was in Luoyang City. He personally summoned the royal family and asked each of his own slaves to gather thousands of people as auxiliary soldiers.
Many ministers took out their own food as military funds, in order to prevent Luoyang City from encountering food shortage during the subsequent siege.
Although Chen Kaizhi was reforming and touched many people, for the people of Dachen, the current emperor is not a king who destroyed the country and the Emperor of Dachen, and has never done anything that is unethical. This time, he did not disturb the people, but also to protect the Han people in the world. However, Chu, Yue and Shu were ungrateful and were actually taking advantage of the situation at this moment, which was disgusting.
Because of this, the entire Luoyang city was united as one. Even the Yansheng Gong Mansion had to issue a school order and criticize the actions of the Emperor of Chu under the appeal of countless scholars.
Many Yan and Chu people stranded in Luoyang actually picked up weapons and were willing to defend the city.
Such a result is certainly gratifying. They thought that Luoyang City was as solid as a rock. As long as they could defend it and wait for the Three Kingdoms to withdraw their troops, everything... would be over.
But... even more terrifying news came one after another.
Someone sent a warning to the city. The Chu people actually planned to use water to attack, and wanted to dig up the river embankment of the Luo River upstream and flood Luoyang. Not only that, it was also said that the Chu people were preparing to create a plague.
Such news is enough to make people feel that a catastrophe is approaching.
How can Luoyang resist the water attack? Even if the flood floods Luoyang City and does not kill everyone, the subsequent plague and food shortage will be fatal.
The anger of Luoyang people has reached its peak.
They are still holding on to Luoyang City with deep hatred, and at the same time, with today's fear of not knowing tomorrow.
But... this persistence has become despair.
Fortunately, the new army can temporarily stabilize the situation in Beijing. Although there are not many new soldiers, they are constantly receiving supplies from Feiyu Peak. Even scholars from Luoyang Academy have become auxiliary soldiers at this moment, and they are responsible for transporting countless gunpowder and equipment to the city.
But...even if countless people want to resist to the end, they vow to live and die with Luoyang.
In the court, it is another scene.
In Zhengde Hall.
All the civil and military ministers were ashamed. At present, there was no better way to break through? There were hundreds of thousands of people outside? How to break through? Defend to the end. Once the river embankment was dug, how could they defend to the end?
Even if the new army's firearms are powerful, what can we do if the opponent does not attack? If the new army attacks, what should Luoyang do?
Queen Mother Mu looked cold.
And Chen Yishou also lost the old god he used to be.
However, the Minister of Rites said: "Last night, the Chu army sent an envoy. They said that there was not much time left for Luoyang. If Luoyang City continues to resist stubbornly, then this place will become a country of terror. Xiang Zheng will trap us to death, drown, starve, and die of illness in Luoyang. The Chu people will completely destroy our country's country, and they are coming in full force. At present, your Majesty's life and death are uncertain. My Dachen's army and horses are here, but only a battalion of more than 10,000 people, but the other party is coming with the power of the country. Therefore, Xiang Zheng said that if he surrenders to the Chu army within three days, he may be able to leave a way out for life for the people. I also hope that... the Empress and the Dukes can open the city gate and let the Chu army enter the city with the thoughts of the people. At that time, Xiang Zheng can protect Luoyang's safety."
"No, it's not the first time that the Chu people are traitorous. Can you believe such evil people? If you want to destroy my country, you have the ability to break into the city and want to abandon the city, don't think that the court must not be bewitched by the Chu people until the last moment, and you should fight to the end!"
The first statement was that King Chen Zhijing of Zhao, who was angry and knew that this condition had begun to shake people.
