Chapter 525

What kind of place is Chang'an City?

That is the lifeblood of Great Tang!

Now that Chang'an City is lost, it is equivalent to half of Great Tang's territory being gone!

This is a fatal blow to Great Tang and Li Er.

What's even harder to accept is the people in the north.

They seem to have long been alienated from Great Tang.

Everyone is yearning for the paradise-like life of Great Qin.

And at this time, Great Qin's invasion doesn't seem to be a disaster for the people, but more like a great good thing!

They welcomed them along the way, happy and joyful, wishing they could directly lead the way for Great Qin.

In some places, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people opened the way for Qin Mu at the same time, directly catching the garrison troops in various places off guard.

No matter what, they couldn't slaughter the people of Great Tang.

Just like this.

The garrison troops in many places surrendered without much resistance.

These soldiers are also human, they also come from the people.

Some even have very poor families.

They had long heard that Great Qin is like a paradise.

And in fact.

Qin Mu also proved this to them.

For all the Tang troops who surrendered immediately, Qin Mu ordered people to treat them well, not even hurting them in the slightest, and gave them better treatment.

Not only that.

Qin Mu also humanely let every Great Tang soldier return home to visit their relatives, letting them see if their parents were safe.

After all, in this situation where the plague is rampant, no one can guarantee that they can still see tomorrow's sun while alive.

Let alone their family members.

Great Tang's soldiers naturally also missed their families.

But Li Er had long issued a strict order that all armies must be on alert and must not leave their posts without authorization, otherwise they would be executed without mercy.

Under this heartless strict order, Qin Mu's approach could touch people's hearts more.

In an instant.

The garrison troops in various parts of northern Great Tang completely collapsed!

They turned their backs on their own side one after another, defected to Great Qin, and defected to Qin Mu!

The 200,000 troops led by Qin Mu almost didn't move, and they already occupied half of Great Tang's territory.

Looking at history.

Such a bloodless conquest is simply unheard of!

"Qin Mu is truly too terrifying!"

After understanding the cause and effect, Fang Xuanling's face was pale, and his whole person was not well.

This is what is called the true direction of the people's hearts!

Others also nodded silently, each with a face heavy to the extreme.

At this very moment.

They finally understood the true power of Qin Mu's previous declarations.

The monarch is the boat, the people are the water.

Water can carry the boat, but it can also overturn it!

Isn't Great Tang this broken boat that was overturned by the people themselves?

And the reason Great Qin was able to enter the Central Plains and occupy Chang'an City, wasn't it by relying on the huge help given to them by those people?

This is the power of the people!

There is nothing more terrifying than this power!

"Your Majesty, let's go to war! Fight them to the death!"

Cheng Yaojin couldn't bear it anymore.

It was truly too suffocating!

Never been so suffocated!

Not a single big battle was fought, and half of Great Tang's territory was just snatched away like this?

As a general, no one can tolerate such humiliation.

"That's right, Your Majesty! Let's go to war!"

"If this continues, our Great Tang will perish!"

"Well said, we absolutely cannot sit and wait for death!"

The court officials of Great Tang were unprecedentedly united.

There was really no way!

Qin Mu was too terrifying!

His terror is not limited to strength, but also his hatred for noble families and the love of the people!
