But just when the elders were excited, long Tianci suddenly poured a basin of cold water on the people. He only heard long Tianci say, "I didn't say we were going to declare independence. It's stupid to do that. Do you think I'm like a fool?"

Hearing what long Tianci said, the elders, including the city leader, were stupid. They never thought that long Tianci would give such an answer. What does long Tianci mean? What do you mean those who declare independence are fools? Are the people who declare independence in the East, West and North all fools in the eyes of long Tianci?

Maybe he saw what everyone thought. Long Tianci smiled and then opened his mouth to explain: "You must be curious why I said that. Let me explain to you. Outsiders may not understand the development of the matter, but you should know that the whole thing is actually planned by us behind the scenes! The rebellions in the East, the West and the north are all controlled by us, and those people still think that everything is their own will, don't you Don't you think it's silly? "

"To tell you the truth, the reason why I have been keeping the status quo in our southern region is purposeful. The empire is now attacked on three sides. The only thing we can rely on is our southern region. As the largest food producing area and backing, the stability of the southern region can reassure the Qinglong Empire, and this reassurance will lead to a reduction in vigilance. Since the Qinglong Empire has not sent troops to guard against this region Can see, and what I want is this result, so that once we attack the green dragon Empire, we will be caught off guard! "

"But now if we stand up and throw flags to rebel, it will make the nervous Qinglong Empire react quickly, so what we need to do now is not to revolt immediately, but to continue to maintain the status quo!"

"... we understand what you mean, but in that case, why did you ask us to come?" the city Lord nodded after hearing the explanation given by long Tianci, then frowned and asked!

"I also said that we should look like we still belong to the green dragon empire on the surface, but we don't do nothing behind the scenes. Otherwise, I won't let you prepare those things. Next, we will use those things to weaken the strength of the green dragon empire." long Tianci replied with a smile!

"I don't know how to use those things? They're just rice worms!" one of the elders frowned and asked!

"Of course, it's useful. There are three major grain producing areas in the south. As the southernmost, we haven't been collected by the Qinglong Empire, so we can't reasonably approach the Qinglong Empire, which is not good for our plan. In order to get in touch with the army of the Qinglong Empire without being suspected by the Qinglong Empire, we have to let the Qinglong empire from us When the green dragon empire will collect grain from us? "Long Tianci didn't give a clear answer, but asked the others present!

"... want the green dragon Empire to collect grain from us? Unless there is no grain from the other two grain producing areas, the green dragon empire will not seek far from us!" an elder thought for a while and then said!

"That's right! If you want the Qinglong Empire to gather food from us, you must make the food from the first two food producing areas disappear, and those rice insects are the key!" long Tianci said with a smile!

Long Tianci has explained to this extent. If the city Lord doesn't understand it, they will really become fools. Everyone shows an expression of sudden understanding and looks at long Tianci with an expression full of admiration. They really admire the wisdom of long Tianci. This means of grasping the overall situation and planning strategies is incomparable to ordinary people!

In this way, longtianci finally began to take actions, but these actions were extremely secret, and outsiders could not detect them. First, longtianci asked the city master to buy a large amount of grain and store all the grain in his own space ring. Then longtianci sent people to sneak into the other two cities and put a large number of rice insects collected into the grain In the storage warehouse and cultivated land, the emergence of these rice insects is definitely a disaster for the two cities. In only five days, most of the grain stored in the two cities were scrapped. Although the people in the two cities urgently rescued the grain, there was not much grain saved in the end!

At the same time, the Qinglong Empire sent people to collect food and grass. Unfortunately, it was impossible to collect food according to the situation of these two cities. The Qinglong empire was overwhelmed by this situation. Finally, it had no choice but to issue an order to collect food to Langyue city!

Long Tianci was waiting for this opportunity. However, long Tianci did not immediately send food to the Qinglong empire. Instead, he asked the city master to write a report to the Qinglong Empire, saying that the food reserves in the city are not much because of the flood of rice insects. If the food is transported to the front line, the city will face the dilemma of food shortage.

The soldiers on the front line were already mourning because of the serious food shortage. However, although the emperor was worried, it was impossible to ignore the life and death of the people in the rear. After all, the only thing the Qinglong empire could rely on was the southern region. If he recruited all the food regardless of the life and death of the rear this time, there would be a fault in the food production in the rear. Finally, they would still face no food After thinking over and over again, the emperor ordered the three major grain producing areas in the south to be temporarily merged. The two cities outside Langyue City transported all the remaining grain to the front line, and the remaining grain in Langyue city should be equally distributed to the other two cities. At the same time, the three cities immediately replanted crops and increased production, so as to supplement the lack of grain in the shortest time!

After this order was issued, Langyue city sent troops to enter the other two cities for the reason of food delivery, and completely occupied the two cities without any movement. On the surface, the three cities have not changed much, but in fact, the two cities have been completely controlled by Langyue city!

In the next half a month, based on the three cities, long Tianci secretly sent troops to occupy several surrounding cities by various means. All this was extremely secret, and the Qinglong empire was completely unaware of it.

After fully controlling all the cities in the southern region, even if the paving needed by longtianci is completed, there will be no problem to rise with the integration of the southern region now!

However, long Tianci still didn't let the southern region pull the flag to rebel. According to long Tianci, the time hasn't come yet. Although the old guys of Gu clan are very dissatisfied with long Tianci's decision, they don't dare to say anything. They can only continue to wait patiently!

Time flies, and soon it is more than a month later. The amount of grain transferred to the front line is not much. After a month's consumption of grain, the soldiers at the front line need to eat. But the emperor once again ordered the grain to be collected from the Southern District, and this time the call was no longer only collected from three grain producing areas. But from the cities in the whole southern region!

Unfortunately, at this time, the southern region has been completely controlled by the Gu nationality, and the emperor's order of requisition has no meaning at all. There is no city in the southern region to respond to the emperor's order of requisition of grain.

Because of the reaction of the southern region, the emperor was furious and sent officials to investigate the matter. As soon as he entered the southern region, the official was arrested and finally his head was cut off by public execution. This public execution is also a flag ceremony in the southern region. Based on this event, the southern region completely pulled the flag to rebel, This is equivalent to completely cutting off the supply line of the army of the Qinglong empire.
