Wu Shiwen finally did not ask "Are you Shi Baoqing", and the same doubts were also in Zou Fengfeng's heart.
Yang Ying asked Shi Xiao directly: "General Shi, let me ask you, if you are asked to lead them to attack the King of Qin now, are you confident in defeating him?"
Shi Xiao said calmly: "No."
Wu Shiwen and Zou Fengfeng were both shocked: This is giving up the battle before fighting. Is this what a general should say?
But almost at this moment, both of them were sure that this person must be Shi Baoqing: for no other reason, because Shi Baoqing has never been a person who is blindly confident and does not fight uncertain battles.
Wu Shiwen and Zou Fengfeng could also see that this was a temporary army in front of them. How could an army like this fight against the army of King Qin, a famous general in hundreds of battles?
"But we have to fight now."
While they were talking, there was another sound of horse hooves coming from behind, and soon they saw a man rushing over on a horse. Then he threw his hand and a ball fell at the feet of Yang Ying and others.
Yang Ying was shocked: That turned out to be a human head.
The surrounding soldiers immediately protected Yang Ying in the middle, but it seemed that the person was Li Chenglin.
"His Royal Highness King Qi, you?"
"Brother-in-law!" Li Chenglin said with joy on his face: "I have captured all the people you asked me to capture."
"Catch him?"
Yang Ying immediately saw a huge team coming this way. They were all people wearing coarse cloth, old and young, male and female...like prisoners being escorted.
Although Yang Ying is not familiar with this world, he can still tell that these are businessmen.
"Your Highness Prince Qi, didn't I make it clear to you?"
Li Chenglin asked in confusion: "What did you say? Didn't you say you wanted to arrest all the cheap businessmen who had colluded with Li Chengba?"
Yang Yingxin said: "I really ordered Li Chenglin to arrest the merchants... But didn't I say before that I have to arrest them strong! Especially the guards when the merchants are doing business."
Li Chenglin was very proud and said: "Brother-in-law, you don't know, these people, I told them to come with me quickly, but everyone said they were crying and just didn't want to leave, so I followed your example, click In one fell swoop, one of them was killed, and they all came out obediently, and they even took out a lot of money voluntarily."
Yang Ying felt cold in her heart: "Did you kill someone?"
"Kill. Kill one from each family!"
Yang Ying complained endlessly: Could it be that others said you were a drudge, but now it seems that you are still a butcher!
If every family kills one person, doesn't that mean that every family has been offended?
Li Chenglin was very proud and said: "Brother-in-law, you killed two, but I only killed one and it was done. How about it, I am better than you!"
Yang Ying sighed: Don't argue with a fool.
Yang Ying stepped forward and looked at the arrested people. Almost all the women were crying, some with children, and most of the men had angry faces and an urge to eat people. It was not clear whether it was directed at him. Yang Ying still rushed to Li Chenglin.
This Li Chenglin, we still can't let him stand alone!
Now that this disaster has been caused by him, he can only find a way to repair it as soon as possible.
Yang Ying then shouted to the group of businessmen: "Men go to the right and women to the left. Divide into two rows."
Many people were watching, as if they hadn't heard anything. Only at the forced request of He Rui and Liu Manniu, who were escorting them, did they slowly stand up separately.
"Women can go home on their own."
Many people simply left with a sense of relief, but many others cried or shouted and asked, "What about their families?"
After taking a look at the group of men, Yang Ying ordered again: "Among the men, those over fifty can leave, and those under fifteen can also leave."
This time, another small group of people left.
The remaining merchants were strong and had thousands of people, but with such a team, how could Yang Ying let them go into battle.
"Servant Cui."
Yang Ying had no choice but to order Cui Yuanrang to take them to the city tower to help defend the city.
Subsequently.
General Zuo Xiao was in the camp.
Yang Ying, Shi Xiao, Wu Shiwen and Gao Bu gathered in front of a topographic map.
"Everyone, King Qin's army is still outside the city. Although they have temporarily retreated, I originally expected that they would retreat. However, the late emperor died suddenly, so I expected that they would come over immediately. Now the hearts of the people in the capital are Panic, if I wait for them to come and kill me, I may not be able to defend the capital. So I decided to take the initiative to fight out."
Shi Xiao was not surprised, but Wu Shiwen asked: "General, I don't know how to lead troops to fight, but I also know that King Qin has always been good at using troops. If he leads troops to fight, our chances of winning may not be good!"
"But if we insist on defending, we have no chance of winning. After all, the whole world is watching the battle between us and King Qin..."
Yang Ying did not continue. After all, everyone present was smart. People in the world supported Qin King Li Chengba and Prince Li Shengli equally, and even Li Chengba had the upper hand.
Originally, with Joan's support, Li Shengli could still maintain a balance with Li Chengba. Now that both Li Shengli and Joan are dead, everyone in the world will naturally turn to the wind and support Li Chengba.
So the only hope now is to defeat Li Chengba at the gate of Qianjing City, or at least run him away, so that the world can know that the new emperor Li Qiyuan has the ability to inherit Li Shengli and Emperor Zhende, and those who originally supported Li Shengli will continue support him.
"General." Shi Xiao said deeply: "How many troops can we mobilize?"
yes! This is the key question: Although Wu Shiwen is extremely resourceful, he has never led an army, and Gao Bu has never thought about it. They instinctively thought that Yang Ying would take all the troops he had now to fight with the King of Qin. Fight.
Yang Ying took a deep breath and said: "There are only 2,357 people who have just been recruited, and there are less than 1,000 Hutou Camp soldiers."
"ah?"
Gao Bu was surprised and said: "General, although I don't know how many troops there are in Qianjing, but aren't there still many soldiers guarding the city on top of the city? Why don't they go out to fight?"
Wu Shiwen said calmly: "They all have to defend the city. If they are on guard, someone may take the opportunity to cause chaos. Secondly, the King of Qin may have another large army to raid Qianjing. Qianjing is already empty for defense. If the troops guarding the city are redeployed now, If you leave, Qian Jing will be really in danger."
"Gaobu." Yang Ying said coldly: "We cannot disclose our actual situation to the soldiers in this battle, but as commanders, we must know our own situation. The enemy's troops are now outnumbered by us, and in terms of bravery, they are not at all If you are afraid of losing to us, you can leave now, otherwise you will be a deserter on the battlefield, and deserters will be beheaded."
"What did the general say? Since I, Gaobu, have obeyed the general's orders, it is a worthy death for me to die on the battlefield."
"Okay! The high general is brave."
