Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

Regarding today's defeat, Li Kui's heart was really blocked after he returned.

But when he thought about the role he played in that plan, he no longer struggled so much.

One of the people who rushed over at this time wanted to prove to everyone that he had not suffered any fatal injuries.

Secondly, I also want to confirm with Zhao Ji and others whether my next step needs to be carried out according to the original plan.

When Zhao Ji and others heard Li Kui's self-report, they only pondered for a while before giving him the next task.

Afterwards, he comforted him not to get too angry just because of his temporary defeat on the battlefield today.

Only by getting the next things done as soon as possible can we win the final victory in this battle.

Faced with such a statement, Li Kui still felt quite disappointed, but he didn't say much at this time.

I hurriedly responded here and prepared to leave here.

But as soon as Li Kui reached the door of the temporary meeting hall, a messenger suddenly ran in from outside the door:

"Report..."

"Report to the officials and generals."

"Outside the gate of Tokyo City, suddenly, many refugees came."

"Those refugees said that they were originally ordinary people living in the town several miles outside the city."

"But because Fang La, Tian Hu, Wang Qing and other armies were stationed there, they were expelled and chased."

"Not only was all the food in the villages and towns robbed, but even some young women were brutally murdered by the gang."

"So now, I want to flee into the city to seek shelter."

"The captains responsible for guarding the city have no idea at this time."

"So I sent the younger one over to inquire about the officials and the generals."

"Next, are we going to let the refugees outside Tokyo go into the city to take refuge?"

Zhao Ji frowned and lowered his head, obviously thinking of many things.

Wu Yong, who was sitting on one side, did not speak first at this time.

Instead, he waved the goose feather fan in his hand and carefully stroked the beard on his chin, with a look of contemplation on his face.

On the contrary, Su Yuanjing, after listening to the messenger's report, hurriedly bowed to Zhao Ji, who was sitting at the top, and begged again and again:

"Officials and ministers have long heard about the cruel habits of those traitors and rebels."

"If they, because they are having trouble attacking the city today, vent all their anger on the civilians..."

"After this night, I don't know how many good people will be brutally murdered and left dead on the streets."

"Otherwise, we should open the city gate as soon as possible and let those people in."

"Anyway, we still have a lot of food in Tokyo."

"Even if we admit tens of thousands of people, there is still enough to eat."

As soon as Su Yuanjing finished speaking, Wu Yong, the wise star, sighed helplessly. As he waved the feather fan in his hand, the look on his face became even more embarrassing:

"Master Su, it's really hard to make such a decision."

"Now, as far as our officials are concerned, it is not the right to open the city gates to let the refugees in, nor to abandon them."

Su Yuanjing frowned slightly and asked with confusion on his face:

"But why?"

Wu Yong slowly stood up from his seat, and then walked a few steps in the hall:

"Lord Su, if I were the leader of the three bandits now, I would deliberately persecute the people and drive them to come here to attack the city gate."

"What if we, the officials, feel sorry for the common people and order the city guards to open the door?"

"When those common people enter the city, it will be the day when the rebels occupy our capital of the Song Dynasty!"

"The rebels can completely follow the civilians and rush into the city together."

"In addition, it is very dark at this time. How can we clearly distinguish between those who are rebels and rebels and those who are innocent people?"

"Even if that's not the case, what if those treacherous bandits used local materials, took off some clothes from the civilians, put them on themselves, mixed in with the civilians, and rushed into the city with them?"

"At that time, how can we tell who are the good people and who are the treacherous bandits pretending to be?"

"Once those treacherous bandits use this method to sneak into the city, they may set fires everywhere to cause chaos, or they may suddenly kill our city defenders."

"All of this will cause chaos in our Tokyo city."

"If Xiaosheng's predictions are anything to go by, our Tokyo city will probably change hands in just one night."

"What if the official's house categorically ignores the help of the people outside the city and refuses to open the door at all?"

"Then it won't be long before the so-called label of an unscrupulous and ignorant king who has no regard for the life and death of the people in the world will be firmly pinned on the heads of our officials, and it will be difficult to take it off again."

"So according to Xiaosheng's point of view, it will be difficult for the officials to do anything about this matter!"

At this time, Zhao Ji kept tapping his fingers on the table, feeling confused.

After all, to him, this matter was really just like what Wu Yong had just analyzed for him.

Whether the city gate is open or not, it is awkwardly tight.

But the current matter cannot be postponed.

If it is delayed for too long, something will happen outside the city.

After the room was silent for a long time, Wu Yong's voice came again:

"Guan family, how about..."

"How about we leave this matter to Wei Chen?"

"Although Wei Chen has little experience in handling this matter, he can still minimize the negative impact this matter has on the official family."

As soon as Wu Yong said this, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in this temporary meeting hall.

As for Wu Yong, when he was explaining everyone's doubts, his words were very reasonable:

"My lords, officials, one thing we can be sure of in this matter is that the city gate cannot be opened no matter what."

"Since the city gate cannot be opened, it is impossible to quickly transport the people outside the city whose lives are threatened into the city."

"But here we can use another method to transport a small group of refugees into the city."

"If Wei Chen handles this matter later, then Wei Chen will do it this way."

"Let's go to the city tower first. The general's intention of never abandoning a good citizen will be conveyed to the people below the city."

"Then we can ask the Ministry of Industry to build a steel cage as soon as possible."

"It is used to allow the soldiers defending the city to use the ropes in their hands to lower the steel cage."

"The steel cage doesn't need to be too big, it just needs to be able to accommodate five people."
