1312. Chapter 1312 Choice
After Cui Yang left, Shui Yichen raised his head and looked at Ye Zhen, "You gave them some room, but they don't seem to appreciate it."
"I never leave room for Li Heng. There are still three days left. There are many people in Doumen Pass who are unwilling to fight. As long as they surrender, we can spare their lives." Ye Zhen said calmly. The ceasefire lasted for more than ten days. , it’s not that she didn’t do anything. Jiang Dachuan had already gone to Doumen Pass. Cui Yang just brought five thousand elite soldiers to support. Some of the soldiers who stayed at Doumen Pass forced the strong men to join the army. As long as they were given freedom, Give them a chance to go back and be reunited with their families. They won't want to come and die.
A meaningful smile flashed in Shui Yichen's eyes, "Is this just trying to attract others?"
Once this news spreads, those soldiers who have long complained about Li Heng will try to escape from the military camp. As long as Doumen Pass is in chaos, the news that Tianfei will be tax-free for three years will spread to all parts of Dongqing Kingdom, and the entire Dongqing Kingdom will People in the city will be shaken, and it will be easier for Ye Zhen to get Dongqing Kingdom.
"No, I just want to watch the fire from the other side." Ye Zhen smiled a little brightly, her eyes shining brightly as she looked up at Shenfei, so dazzling that people dared not look directly at him.
"What will you do after you get Dongqing Kingdom in the future? Should you go back to be the Queen of Jin Kingdom, or continue to be a concubine?" Shui Yichen looked at Ye Zhen with a deep look and asked.
Ye Zhen pursed her lips. She had not thought about this issue carefully. She had always only thought about how to get Dongqing Kingdom and make Li Heng, an ungrateful person, pay the price. However, she had not thought about what to do after getting Dongqing Kingdom. What.
No wonder when she left China, her father said it would be difficult for her to face choices in the future.
Is this what is called hardship?
If Shui Yichen hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have known that Tianfei actually meant the queen.
"Don't we have the Dongqing Kingdom yet? Let's talk about it after we get it." Ye Zhen said with a smile. She couldn't make a choice now. Once she wanted to be their heavenly concubine, she couldn't be the queen of the Jin Kingdom. If she returns to the Kingdom of Jin to become the queen, what will the 100,000 soldiers do? They followed her to the Central Plains and wanted to recognize their ancestors. She could not abandon them.
Shui Yichen did not force Ye Zhen to make a choice at this time, "I'm going to prepare."
"Sister Ye, don't you like the concubine?" Shui Miaomiao looked at Ye Zhen doubtfully and asked.
"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that it's hard to choose." Ye Zhen smiled, "It's too early to talk about it now, let's talk about it later."
She couldn't bear to be separated from Mo Rongzhan. If she really captured Dongqing Kingdom and became the concubine, she wouldn't be able to be with Mo Rongzhan every day.
…
…
Cui Yang went back to Doumen Pass and announced that the battle would take place in three days. The soldiers in the Dongqing State military camp were panicked. They all knew that the opponent was coming fiercely. Not to mention that they had one hundred thousand elite soldiers, they only took 20,000 soldiers and captured ten. A city, forcing them to Doumen Pass is enough to prove the strength of the opponent. Now they give them a chance to surrender, why not surrender? The emperor has already submitted a letter of surrender to Beiming Kingdom, why can't he surrender again?
"I don't want to fight anymore!" In a tent in the military camp, an ordinary soldier suddenly stood up and shouted, "What's the point of us continuing to fight? To protect our home and country, do we still have a home? Do we still have a country? This In the past few years, the common people in the entire Dongqing Kingdom have been complaining endlessly. The emperor imitated Beitang Yu and captured young men to serve as soldiers. He has no consideration for the lives of us common people. Even if we die on the battlefield, what will our families get?"
"What are you talking about? How dare you say such things!" Someone scolded him in a low voice.
The soldier shouted with red eyes, "What else should I not dare to do? I was originally just a farmer, and there were children in my family. When I was caught in the military camp, the baby in my wife's belly was only six months old. , if the emperor had not surrendered to Beiming Kingdom, how could we have lost Qingzhou? Anyway, I have nothing to worry about, I want to leave here, I want to find my wife and children."
"All my children were killed by the soldiers of Beiming Kingdom." A middle-aged man shouted with red eyes, "If I am asked to fight for Beiming Kingdom in the future, I would rather die now!"
"The Concubine Tian on the opposite side is from the Atlantic Ocean. Over the past few days, have you seen any of the people in those ten cities being killed? They are from Dongqing Kingdom, but they surrendered to Concubine Tian easily. I heard that, The concubine exempted them from taxes for three years, and also promised that if their family members were in the military camp, they could go home and reunite if they wanted."
"My mother is in Qingyun City."
"If a war breaks out in three days, we will definitely die..."
"let's go!"
"Walk!"
The morale of the army was in chaos, and the influence spread from camp to camp. By the time Cui Yang and the others found out, most of the soldiers were already making noise and rushing towards the city gate. They did not want to fight or die.
"Are you going to rebel? Stop!" General Li roared loudly at the city gate.
Cui Yang's eyes were serious and solemn, and only he knew that his heart was filled with sadness.
"We don't want to die!"
"The Emperor doesn't care about our lives at all. Why would he rather surrender to the Beiming Kingdom than compromise the Concubine?"
"Yes, we don't want to die."
General Li shouted angrily, "Do you think that woman will let you go if you leave Doumen Pass?"
"If we don't leave, we will definitely die in three days."
Cui Yang took a deep breath. The entire military camp was now demoralized. Even if these people were left here, it would not change the outcome. "Let them go."
General Li turned back and looked at Cui Yang in disbelief, "General Cui, what did you say?"
"They no longer want to stay. Forcing them to stay will only make them resentful. Don't start civil strife before fighting." Cui Yang said in a low voice. If these people are not released from the city gate, he will I can guarantee that these people will rebel tomorrow.
"We only have 20,000 soldiers. If these people leave, how can we...how can we fight?" General Li asked.
Cui Yang said, "Does it mean that if we stay, we will be sure of victory?"
Anyway, the outcome is already decided, so why not let more people survive, "Let them go, whoever wants to leave can leave."
"General Cui!" General Li felt Cui Yang's despair. In fact, he also felt helpless. They sent people to the capital city for help. What they received was not support. The emperor once again took tributes to Beiming Kingdom and asked Beiming for help. country to help.
The Beiming Kingdom is already in trouble, how can it help them?
Cui Yang stood on the city gate and looked up ahead. Dongqing Kingdom might really be changing its dynasty.
