The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 1132: Removing the Firewood from the Bottom of the Pot (Part )

Zhuolibuhua came to the front, looked coldly at the tower in front of him, raised his right arm and looked up and shouted: "Kill cattle and sheep, prepare wine, open the city gate to welcome the Khan, the Khan is here to distribute the land!"

Then nearly 30,000 people followed suit, saying, "Divide the land, divide the land, divide the land."

Most of the Turks were not familiar with Chinese, but they knew the three pronunciations, and they followed the instructions from above and shouted to divide the land. The roars of tens of thousands of people merged into a wave that rose to the sky and rushed towards the city wall fiercely.

The intimidating power immediately made Lu Jinxian's face turn pale, and he couldn't help but take two steps back.

The Turks really ordered an attack on the city, but he was not afraid at all. Thirty thousand people could not take down a fortified city guarded by twenty thousand Tang troops.

But this slogan of dividing the land, coupled with the reality of Jixian and Zhuoxian, he knew how attractive it was to ordinary people. The suppression of the people by the nobles and the influence of the court on the local areas could not compete with such direct and fierce interests.

He knew that the other party was Turkic.

Any Han leader, even if he was a rebellious commoner, could raise an army of hundreds of thousands in Hebei and fight against the Tang Dynasty with this strategy alone.

Where is the land divided?

It belonged to their noble families, and was the foundation of their wealth and glory, and their resistance to the imperial court. If they lost their land, they would become lambs to be slaughtered. This was a life-and-death struggle.

Which wicked guy gave the Turks this stupid idea? If he knew about this, he would skin them alive.

Lu Jinxian had never been so scared before, that's not right.
It was fear, fear from the bottom of his heart. He was not afraid of the 30,000 Turks under the city, nor was he afraid of the 300,000 jackals that had entered Hebei.

What he feared was that the Turks' actions would incite countless lower-class people, thereby inciting and tempting them to unite and resist the rule of the aristocracy.

"Shoot, shoot, kill them for me. They are a bunch of devils who want to cut off the foundation of our Han family."

After a brief retreat, Lu Jinxian pounced on Ma Chengliang like a mad tiger, shouting desperately: "Captain Ma, hurry up, order all the soldiers in the city to fight back, and kill all these demons who are trying to cause trouble. Kill them."

Ma Chengliang frowned and said, "Lord Lu, don't panic. With me here, they can't attack the city."

"No, it's not about attacking the city. We can't let them deceive the people. Once the people are scattered, it will be useless even if you have more people. Do you know what they are shouting?"

Lu Jinxian roared, "This is a heart-breaking statement. They are already attacking the city. But they are not attacking the city under our feet, but the city in the hearts of the 100,000 people in Yi County. We can't let them go on like this."

"Otherwise, even if Yi County has 100,000 soldiers, it will be silently disintegrated."

"Master Lu, I know what you said."

Ma Chengliang shook his head: "But they are all out of the archers' range. We can't shoot them at all."

"Then use catapults and crossbows to shoot them to death?"

"Lord Lu, calm down. Yi County is an inland town. We have less than ten catapults and crossbows. Facing 30,000 Turks, it is just a drop in the bucket."

Ma Chengliang explained: "And this will easily anger them. You have to know that there are 300,000 Turks a hundred miles away."

"If they all come to kill us, what will Yi County do to resist? I think this is the best way. As long as they don't attack, we just need to defend the city. It won't be long before the imperial army arrives. By then, we can naturally wipe out all these people."

"No, we can't wait. Give the order immediately. Fire all the catapults and crossbows at the same time and shoot their leader."

Lu Jinxian was excited and said with a distorted face: "Shoot them to death, anger them, let them attack the city, or even massacre them. It doesn't matter what, but we can't let them bribe the people, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

'What a lunatic!'

Ma Chengliang and his generals were all in Yi County, and when they heard Lu Jinxian's words, they were naturally furious. They did not have the far-sighted vision of Lu Jinxian, and they did not know the harm of the Turkic people's actions.

They only knew that the Turks did not kill people at will when they invaded the Tang Dynasty this time. Even in Ji County and Zhuo County, they only robbed some property. Although the nobles and wealthy families in these two cities were in a miserable state, they still managed to keep their lives.

This shows that the Turks have reservations, so we can't go all the way. If we really want to strike the Turks without limits, if they get angry and capture the city and massacre it, wouldn't all our family members die?

"Lord Lu seems to be too nervous and a little confused."

Ma Chengliang had long been tired of Lu Jinxian's bossing around him, and immediately signaled to his deputies: "Help Lord Lu down and let him have a good rest. Let us, the military commander, take care of the defense of the city."

"Ma Chengliang, what do you want to do?" Two deputies stepped forward and dragged Lu Jinxian towards the horse road. Lu Jinxian struggled and roared, "You idiot, if you don't listen to me, you will die without a burial place. Ma Chengliang, the Lu family and the nobles will not forgive you."

The noisy people were dragged down, and the tower became much quieter. Everyone was in peace for a while. Ma Chengliang ordered: "Pass on my order. As long as the Turks don't attack the city, we won't move. As long as we defend Yi County, we will have done a great deed."

"Yes, General." Everyone responded loudly.

Yi County is an inland county in Hebei Province. It has not experienced war for 20 years, and the Turks have never invaded this place. The soldiers guarding the city have rarely seen the smoke of gunpowder. Most of the soldiers were defending the city for the first time, and they were extremely nervous when facing the Turks who were said to be as fierce as wolves.

At this time, the soldiers guarding the southern city wall had been guarding nervously for a long time, but they did not see any Turks attacking the city. They just kept shouting slogans about dividing the land below.

Wang Si looked at the middle-aged soldier beside him in surprise and asked in a low voice: "Brother Li, is this how the Turks attack cities?"

"They just shouted loudly from below, but no concrete actions were seen."

"Didn't you say a few days ago that the Turks were all wolves and tigers who killed people without blinking an eye? The siege was brutal, with arrows and stones flying everywhere, and broken limbs and arms everywhere. The blood would dye the entire city wall red."

"Why is it different from what you said now?"

Li Zhu, who was in his forties, shook his head with a complicated expression and explained, "The Turks were indeed like this before, but this time they have changed, and I don't recognize them anymore."

"Do you know what the Turks did in Jixian and Zhuoxian?"

Wang Si shook his head like a rattle: "Brother Li, this is my first time in Yi County. The farthest place I usually go is our Anping Town, and the place I am most familiar with is our village. How can I know about the things in Ji County and Zhuo County?"

Afterwards, Li Zhu told Wang Si what happened in the two counties. Wang Si was shocked and said in disbelief, "Brother Li, are you kidding me? The Turks didn't kill people, set fires, or rob things, but how could they divide the land? Who told you that?"

Wang Si's voice was quite loud, attracting several new recruits nearby.

Li Zhu saw that the soldiers nearby were gathered in groups of three or five, looking like thieves, whispering about something, and no one paid attention to them. The section they were in charge of was far from the city gate tower, so the generals could not take care of it.

"It's true. We are all in the same boat. I won't lie to you."

Li Zhu smacked his lips and said, "As you know, your sister-in-law is from Donghe Village under Zhuo County. My eldest brother-in-law came to my house the night before yesterday and took away my youngest son who was visiting relatives at my house, saying that the Turks in Zhuo County wanted to divide the land."

"Based on the number of people, each person gets 10 acres. What if his kid isn't here when the statistics are taken, and he gets 10 acres less?"

"What? Ten acres per person. How is that possible? Our whole family doesn't have ten acres of land. How old is your eldest brother-in-law's youngest son? Does he get a share too?"

As soon as Li Zhu finished speaking, the people around him were immediately excited and asked, "How can there be so much land? Is it given away for free? Do you need to pay for it? Is there a time limit? How much tax is required? Does everyone, young or old, have one? There are more than 20 people in my family."

".How long will it take, and will you take it back later?"

Faced with this pie in the sky, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, everyone went crazy and kept asking Li Zhu questions.

Li Zhu looked around and found that many people were as excited as they were.

"Do you know what the Turks read in the beginning?"

After that, Li Zhu slowly sang the ballad that he could never forget after hearing his elder brother-in-law sing it once: "In the morning, I seek promotion, and in the evening, I seek harmony. It is difficult for poor people to survive these days. Open the door early to pay homage to the Khan, and the ruler will be happy."

"We slaughtered cattle and sheep, prepared wine, opened the city gates to welcome the Khan, and the Khan came to distribute the land."

"Eat his mother, drink her mother, eat enough to make you sweat. No work, no taxes, everyone has a good time."

After he finished speaking, the soldiers around him were all surprised, and then their eyes became brighter and brighter, and their expressions became more and more excited.

Wang Xiaosi looked at the nearly 30,000 Turks below the city wall shouting "divide the land" and said with a trembling voice, "No wonder they keep shouting about dividing the land. So this is what they mean. They want to give us the land?"

"Is this all true? How is this possible?"

Li Zhu also swallowed his saliva with envy: "It's true, Ji County has already started to divide the land. I heard that the Turkic Khan personally sent Turks to each village to supervise the distribution of land. The Khan promised that everyone will have one."

"From bedridden old men to hungry babies, even if your father is in the process of being buried and hasn't had time to be buried when the land is distributed, everyone can get a share of the land."
