"Everyone... generals, I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not..." The prisoner lay soft on the ground and said hesitantly.
He looked extremely scared.
The scouting general was about to beat him, but was stopped by Qi Jie. Qi Jie stared at the prisoner, frowned and asked, "What do you have to say?"
The prisoner stared closely at the whip in the scout general's hand, almost cross-eyed... and said with a trembling voice: "General... If the villain said something wrong, I hope the general can spare my life..."
Qi Jie waved his hand at the general scout, and the general scout retracted his whip and stood aside coldly, staring at the prisoner, with the intention of taking his life if he said anything wrong.
"Report to the general - Jimo City is full of complaints and has no fighting spirit..." the prisoner said.
Qi Ji snorted and interrupted the prisoner's words: "Do you still have to say this?"
Nonsense - even a weak-minded farmer in front of me was entrusted with an important task and sent out as a spy...
The city must have been filled with rabble.
The rabble is naturally synonymous with 'trash', and rubbish have always lacked the will to fight.
The prisoner had the courage to say: "If the general wants to seize the city, there is a way... As long as we continue to intimidate and intimidate, this city will be destroyed!"
oh?
All the generals of the Yan army became interested.
Qi Jie, on the other hand, glared at the captives with murderous intent and said coldly: "My army of Dayan has seized the Qi people's land. You don't hate me? Why are you so cooperative?"
The scout general on the side even pulled out his sword and played with it gently in his hand.
The Green Feather Guard detective disguised as a prisoner thought of lightning in his mind, and immediately shrank, staring at the sword in the scout general's hand, and said in a panic: "No more! I won't say any more! General, spare your life..."
Qi Jie rolled his eyes in anger, frowned and raised his head at the general scout. Then the general scout realized that he had gone too far in frightening him, so he sheathed his sword again and took two steps back.
The prisoner then trembled and said: "To tell the general - Xiao Xiao was originally just a farmer, and his family had fertile land. He was working in the fields at the time, and he was coerced by the landowners, so he had no choice but to fight with the Yan army... "
"I deeply hate Tian Dan!"
"The isolated city of Jimo will definitely be destroyed by the general, but sooner or later... my wife and children are still in the city. When the army breaks the city, I only hope that the general can protect the lives of my whole family..."
Qi Jie squinted his eyes and nodded slowly, feeling that this was very reasonable.
"As long as you cooperate well, I will naturally not do anything to your wife, children, and children." Qi Jie said, then frowned and said impatiently: "You said so!"
The prisoner stammered and refused to speak for a long time... Qijie was impatient, and suddenly his heart lit up, and he pursed his lips at the Military Affairs Sima beside him: "Give him a hundred gold!"
A hundred gold cakes were thrown in front of the captives. The captives kowtowed with joy and finally confessed what they had been holding back for a long time -
"General Mingjian - the Yan army's previous strategy of attacking the heart was quite effective - now no one in the city is willing to fight anymore."
"If we attack the city at this time, the soldiers and civilians in the city will be shocked and will definitely arouse their fighting spirit and resist desperately... All the previous achievements in attacking the city will be ruined! Even if Jimo can be conquered by then, the Yan army will suffer heavy casualties..."
These words hit the point of Qi Jie's pain. Qi Jie sat up straight, his eyes bright: "That's true... but in your opinion, what should I do?"
The prisoner held the gold cake and did not let go, as if he was no longer afraid, and talked eloquently: "From a villain's perspective - although the morale in the city has collapsed, being gentle as before is not enough. Some ruthless measures are needed. Come and scare the soldiers and civilians in the city!"
"As long as the courage of the soldiers and civilians in the city is frightened, they will naturally not dare to oppose the Great Yan Heavenly Army. They might cut Tian Dan's neck at night and obediently ask the general to surrender."
"In this way, the general captured Jimo City without any effort and accomplished the last big thing that General Le failed to accomplish in two years..."
“And a villain’s home can be preserved even if it is small.”
He no longer had any doubts about the robbery, he laughed loudly and his spirits were high!
The generals of the Yan army also smiled at each other and nodded.
really!
It’s time to show the Qi people in the city some ruthlessness!
The Lord of Chang State insisted on being gentle and gentle... He had been gentle for two whole years, but the city was not broken... These people of Qi just couldn't cry without seeing the coffin!
Humph, it’s just that Lord Chang is easy to talk to, so he has been stubbornly resisting until now!
It has caused our 200,000 Yan troops to be unable to return home for a long time!
According to me, we should have severely intimidated them a long time ago to show them the tragic consequences of continuing to resist!
Qi Jie laughed, untied the rope tied to the prisoner with his own hands, patted the prisoner on the shoulder, and encouraged him: "What a good plan!"
"Just as you say!"
"When the city is destroyed, I will consider you a great achievement! At that time, I will allocate some land to your family. From now on, you must farm for my king and be an obedient citizen of my country..."
The prisoners kowtowed repeatedly: "General, I can't thank you enough for your kindness..."
…
Outside Jimo City, there was a sudden commotion.
The soldiers and civilians in the city all raised their heads - are they trying to persuade them to surrender again?
The Yan army outside would try to persuade them to surrender every once in a while - probably the content would be to explain various generous treatment after surrender, explain the light corvee and low taxes implemented by Chang Guojun Leyi in Qi, and then let some Qi people who had already been allocated the land People 'speak from their own experience'.
At this time, General Tian Dan would ask the soldiers and civilians in the city to close their doors and windows to avoid being deceived by the "scheming" Yan people.
But today, things are surprisingly different!
Officials on horseback galloped through the streets, shouting loudly over and over again: "The soldiers and civilians in the city are listening... General Tian Dan has an order - go up to the city wall!"
“General Tian Dan has an order—go to the city wall!”
oh?
Tian Dan didn't stop him this time?
There was a commotion among the people in the city - this was the first time this happened!
"Why didn't you stop me this time?"
"Whatever... let's go to the city wall and watch the excitement!"
…
The soldiers and civilians in the city swarmed, swarming onto the city wall, staring closely at the Yan Army camp opened outside the city...
In the past, every time the Yan army tried to persuade them to surrender, General Tian Dan had to cover up... but he didn't stop him this time! You can still come and see something new!
I wonder how Yan Jun will persuade them to surrender?
Some good people commented: "If I were General Yan, I would be able to confuse people by just arranging for thirty or fifty people to sit under the city, eat meat in big mouths and drink wine from big bowls..."
Hearing this description, the people around him almost all swallowed their saliva.
Although there was a steady stream of food shipped from the Chu State, most of it was coarse grains that could only fill the stomach... Things such as meat and wine were shipped in very little quantity, and they could basically only satisfy a few nobles.
The people of Qi have always been prosperous - before the war, even the most ordinary farmers could occasionally enjoy some wine and meat, and make tooth sacrifices.
It has been two years since the siege of the city, and most people in Qi have not seen meat or fish for two years!
Just imagining the alluring smell of meat that still remains in the memory... there are already many people with blurred eyes and longing faces!
