Han Xin's words instantly frightened Wu Yi and others.

There is one thing he said that is right.

The reason why the people of Chu State obeyed them was because the choice was in the hands of the nobles and the people had no choice.

But now it's different. The Han army is here, and the Han country's policies are very enviable and desirable.

In the past, ordinary people didn't have a choice, but now they have a choice.

Of course, what makes them most desperate is not just the lack of options.

As a noble, even a small noble, a noble who was 'abandoned' by the upper class.

Then they are also nobles.

The background that nobles should have, maybe they are not as good as other nobles, but they still have it.

Cultural heritage represents not only how many people in the family are literate, nor how many books there are in the family, nor how much etiquette and rules you know, which means you are literate.

Those are just the basics.

What is foundation?

I can stand at a higher place, see further away, stand at a height that you can't stand, and see problems that you can't see.

I can more reasonably increase my advantages, seek benefits for myself, and be successful.

This is the foundation.

Although it is a bit powerful, this model is also feasible at the national level. Just replace the individual with the country.

As for the current Han State, although it was established only a short time ago, it seems to have little foundation.

But they chose to use the most common methods to dig into their roots.

Wu Yi could see it and think about it.

Han's march eastward was not just a military action.

Every time a city is captured, the granary is immediately sealed, the amount of taxes paid this year is counted, and the original amount is refunded, and at the same time it is announced that taxes will be exempted for the next two years.

Including refunds, wouldn’t it be three years?

There is another point that is not clear to the outside world, but these nobles have received some news.

The granary storage in some places was not enough to return, and the lost grain was used to feed the troops. The Han army even took part of the private granaries of the nobles and returned it.

The Han army held high a big stick against the nobles, and at the same time applied benevolent policies to the common people.

Three years of tax exemption?

what does that mean?

This means that when the Han army treated these Chu people, they gave them the same treatment as the Han people, and also made it clear that they would allocate land like real Han people. From then on, they would no longer

They are the people of Chu State, but the people who are protected by the Han Dynasty.

No longer have to endure the exploitation of those nobles, no longer have to worry about when they will starve to death or die in war.

All in all, the Han army was pursuing a grand strategy, advancing comprehensively from military, political, and public opinion aspects.

People outside could only see the overwhelming strength of the Han army, but they did not know the significance of the Han army's tax refund.

And what can Chu State use most?

It is the trust that the people of Chu State have in the country and their sense of belonging to the country.

But now, the Han army is very straightforward in declaring a concept to the outside world.

There is no so-called national war. What is going on now is nothing more than an internal war. : :

The Han State did not regard the Chu State as barbarians, but as the people of the Xia Dynasty who were of the same origin as themselves.

Talking in words, operating in reality, suppressing the military, and taking a three-pronged approach, it can be said that everyone in Chu State is in danger. Except for the nobles, everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the Han army.

"Then, what if we follow the rules of the Han army?" Wu Yi and others also completely lost their sense of resistance at this time.

It’s not that we haven’t fought for it, it’s that we simply can’t fight for it because we don’t have the capital and strength.

"It can be treated by thousands of people!" Han Xin looked at everyone and said slowly.

Some people are satisfied with this treatment, while others are not.

But most people are satisfied because they don't have a thousand people under their command.

The current Chu army consists of hundreds of thousands of nobles, big and small, gathered together.

The big nobles were followed by a group of small nobles, and those in front of them were all scattered or marginal figures.

Even if they stay in Chu State, it will be difficult for them to have other big opportunities.

Wu Yi was a slightly older nobleman. He had three thousand men under his command, and he controlled half of the county.

But this time, someone needs to stay and lead these little nobles, and at the same time be responsible for guarding them from defecting to the enemy so quickly.

Unexpectedly, Wu Yi would lead them to surrender now.

But it’s not Wu Yi’s fault, who can’t defeat him?

Of course, Wu Yi was not satisfied with the treatment of thousands of people.

"What if I can help the general gather the other Chu troops and capture the county?" Wu Yi asked.

"It depends on how many people are gathered and how many counties are occupied!" Han Xin looked at Wu Yi and said calmly.

Wu Yi thought for a while and said: "I am 50% sure of bringing the other 40,000 people over. As for the cities... there are five..."

"I guarantee that you will be made a captain, and your rank will not be lower than the eighth rank!" Han Xin smiled slightly.

"I also have some friends in the Chu army, and I can persuade them to surrender to the Han army!" Wu Yi continued without getting angry.

"If he can do it, Han will treat him as a general!" Han Xin also raised the price.

Although there won't be much pressure on Han Xin in the future, he can save what he can.

If he can rely on local snakes like Wuyi to help him occupy the city of Sishui County, then he can spend more time training his troops.

At the same time, you can also get the weapons sent from the rear as quickly as possible.

This is crucial.

Negotiation is actually the same as doing business, it is completed through slow bargaining.

Just like the current state of Chu, there may be life and death, but where can there be so much life and death?

If the people of Chu State really still rely on Chu State and still have a sense of belonging.

So why did so many generals defect to the Han Dynasty?

When talking about one thousand to ten thousand, the generals are chasing the leader. If the leader cannot do it, the general will naturally leave.

The pursuit of the common people is much simpler. They just hope not to fight every year and to be able to fill their stomachs every year.

Therefore, the nobles may have fought for hundreds of years without getting tired of it, because it was not their relatives who died.

No matter what the war situation is, they can still maintain a noble and high-quality life.

What about ordinary people?

Fighting and fighting will result in the death of their relatives. Regardless of victory or defeat, their lives will not change.

Therefore, the bottom of each country is more eager for unification than the top.

Therefore, Qin's unification of the world is the general trend.

The current situation of the Han Dynasty is like a broken bamboo, and the Chu Kingdom is retreating steadily. First, it is due to the efforts of the Han monarchs, ministers and generals, and secondly, this is also the general trend of the world.

They only focused on how to strive for hegemony, but ignored the most common and basic things that the grassroots people need most.

He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, this is not an empty saying.

Even now, his words are not empty words.

After reaching an agreement, Wu Yi began to get busy.

While sending people to military camps in various places to persuade them to surrender, they also sent people to various counties to persuade them to surrender.
Chapter completed!
