Soon after, Southern Yi began drafting soldiers extensively.
Xiao Yuan assembled troops and started a new round of indoctrination.
He spoke to the generals, who passed his words down layer by layer.
The main message was that the Jiangnan flood disaster was compounded by an epidemic. The people of Jiangnan simply couldn't live any longer. Mr. Xiao, with his compassionate heart, couldn't bear the suffering of the people and planned to lead troops to reclaim Jiangnan, offering the Jiangnan people a way out.
The generals told the soldiers they were not going to war but to rescue the people of Jiangnan caught in dire straits, marking it as a great benevolent act.
Consequently, both the civilians and soldiers in Southern Yi believed Mr. Xiao truly had an exceptionally kind heart.
Life was good in Southern Yi, and Mr. Xiao wanted all the people in the world to live well, which is why he made such an effort to reclaim Jiangnan.
