Chapter 202 Passive Expansion

The New Year passed quickly.

Zhao Gongming was very pleased that this group of restless subordinates did not cause him trouble during the New Year.

Until February of the first year of the Human Emperor.

This group of smart people started to do some tricks.

The northeastern border of Da Zhao.

A small cabin outside the city.

Several people were discussing in the cabin.

Outside the house, there were several teams of fully-equipped men waiting quietly.

Among the people discussing in the cabin.

Except for one person who was from China, the rest were from other countries wearing strange clothes.

They were generals from the Later Jin Dynasty and the Mongolian Empire.

Judging from the vicissitudes on their faces.

They did not have an easy time during this period.

Whether it is the Later Jin or Mongolia.

Because of the internal strife, the domestic princes fought each other and the various forces were confused.

At this time, it was difficult to even have a full meal, let alone military pay.

Even if they are nobles or generals, they cannot guarantee that they will be alive tomorrow.

Because it is very likely that the enemy's army will attack us tomorrow.

For example, the general of the Later Jin Dynasty among the few people was a discarded pawn among the major forces of the Later Jin Dynasty. Because his base was bordering the Great Zhao Kingdom, many domestic forces were unwilling to win over this city-guarding general. Even the city lord and a group of nobles ran away.

Because they were afraid that the Great Zhao State would attack at any time.

Then your life will be in danger.

The general guarding the city also wants to run away.

But he doesn't have this ability.

He had no backing in the Later Jin Dynasty, and his previous backers also left him.

His situation is dire now.

He was also cut off from food supplies at home.

The people in the city all headed south, wishing they could take his head and surrender to the Great Zhao, so that they could live a good life where everyone had food to eat, houses to live in, and books to read.

Grass.

The thought of this.

This Later Jin general felt very uncomfortable.

He had also thought about living this kind of life.

Don't underestimate him because he is the general of a city.

His life wasn't much better.

The Later Jin Dynasty was a country that attached great importance to bloodline. He had no bloodline and had always been at the bottom of the nobility.

He spent all his fortune to buy the position of the general defending the city.

Originally I wanted to become a clean magistrate in three years and earn 100,000 silver coins.

Unexpectedly, just in the first year after taking office, before he started to make any money, Daqian was destroyed.

The Great Zhao State was advancing with great force, and not long after, the imperial palace was bombed.

The emperor and a number of princes were either killed or disabled.

The entire Later Jin court was in chaos.

He has run out of food.

Besides, doesn’t he want to live a life with enough food to eat every day, a house to live in and books to read?

He still lives in that shabby little house.

My children can’t even afford to go to school.

He is such a cowardly general.

The generals gathered in this room each have their own difficulties and their own ideas.

But, he was definitely the most miserable among the many generals gathered this time, no doubt about it.

"Master Liu, it's been a month."

"When are you going to start?"

"We have been waiting for a long time, and the people in the city can't wait any longer."

"If we delay any further, I'm afraid something serious will happen."

"They thought that the general was fooling them."

"I can't even sleep peacefully now, for fear that they will rush in and chop off my head the next moment."

"Master Liu, please be kind and mobilize the troops quickly."

"The people of East City can't wait any longer."

The general of the Later Jin's East City begged.

His attitude was extremely humble.

Now he just wanted the people from Da Zhao to come and take over his Dongcheng as soon as possible.

In this way, the people of Dongcheng can also live a good life.

He could also use the merit of offering the city to find an opportunity for his children.

He doesn't have to live a miserable life like his useless father. "Yes, the people in the city have been making trouble many times in the past few days."

"The mayors of the cities behind me have all been killed by the people. I am in danger now."

"You, the Great Zhao State, please be kind and accept us in."

The general on the Mongolian side also looked humble.

This is the first time I have seen a country voluntarily surrender to another country, and with such a humble attitude.

"Everyone, it's not that I don't want to."

"You also understand the mechanism of our great Zhao Kingdom. Everyone in our court wants to expand our territory and establish merit."

"But, our Majesty is too cautious."

"Our requests are always rejected due to insufficient manpower."

"You also know our Great Zhao State. We only have 200,000 troops in the whole country. It is indeed difficult to expand our territory."

"It will take at least a few months, after the new army is assembled, before we can take over your cities."

Manager Liu said with a smile.

"what?"

"How many months?"

"It won't take a few months. In a few days, Chief Liu won't be able to see me anymore."

"How can I suppress them for several months?"

"We surrendered voluntarily. Why do you need an army, Great Zhao? You can just send someone to take over."

"At worst, we can still become soldiers of the Great Zhao Kingdom."

"It's about changing the flag."

"Could it be that Chief Liu doesn't trust us?"

"Do you think we are untrustworthy because we are a different race?"

"Master Liu, you are also a cultured person. You know very well that there are no different races or the same race in this world. If you count back dozens of generations, everyone is a descendant of Yan and Huang."

"Whoever feeds us is our master."

"Give me a chance."

"We really need the Great Zhao Kingdom."

"We are also citizens of the Great Zhao Kingdom."

"God once said that Your Majesty is the Emperor of Mankind, the Emperor of the Human Race."

"We are also human, and Your Majesty is also our emperor."

"You can't just ignore us."

The generals of the Later Jin Dynasty were about to cry.

Is surrender so difficult these days?

They are starving in the city.

Who cares who is who?

If you give me a full meal, you are my master.

"Alas, we can't do anything about His Majesty's order, but I have a plan."

"I wonder if you generals would listen to me?"

"Master Liu, please speak."

Chief Liu informed the generals in the room of their plan. After hearing it, they agreed without any hesitation.

Isn't it just a play?
Who can’t act?

They risked their lives.

After everyone discussed it.

He immediately took the troops back.

Late at night the next day.

Each city sent out a scout to shoot a few arrows at the border wall of the Great Zhao State.

Afterwards, the Great Zhao State received the signal and immediately led its troops to fight back.

When the troops of the Great Zhao Kingdom arrived at the city, the city gates of the Later Jin and Mongolia were opened to allow the troops of the Great Zhao Kingdom to enter.

The local army was immediately temporarily organized into the temporary army of the Great Zhao State, and took the initiative to help the Great Zhao State clear the maggots in the city and measure the land. The people got up overnight, lined up at the government office in the city, took the initiative to arrange their household registration, and received their own land certificates.

From now on, they are people of Da Zhao.

After some actions.

It took less than a day from the time the scouts took the initiative to attack, to taking over the city and arranging the entry into the houses.

In the evening of the next day, grassroots officials from the Great Zhao State were sent over to take over the affairs of the city.

The territory of the Great Zhao Kingdom expanded overnight.

Zhao Gongming woke up early in the morning and found that his territory had expanded, and he fell into deep thought.

really.

This group of smart people always find ways to exploit his loopholes.

Ugh.

Let them be.
