"No,"
Zhu Feng's breath sank: "Control the people!"
"What?"
Ye Zheng's eyes widened in astonishment, he couldn't believe his ears as he looked at him, and repeated in surprise: "Control - common people?"
At this time, control the people
Although he has fought with Zhu Feng for so many years, and speaking of it, he is very familiar with some of Zhu Feng's ideas, but he was still confused when he heard this order.
Why control the people
Zhu Feng looked down at the simple but somewhat eye-catching words on the note, and said solemnly: "You must think that these words have no effect on attacking or defending the city. During the time of Beiping, the people of Tan Kingdom persecuted the common people even more in order to capture Beiping.”
Ye Zheng nodded: "Yes."
Zhu Feng said with a heavy breath, "But this is not Beiping."
"...!"
Upon hearing this sentence, Ye Zheng keenly sensed something, and suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Zhu Feng turned his head to look at him and said, "Crane City is not Beiping. Beiping is located at the border between the two countries, and there are frequent wars. The level of tolerance is much higher than that of ordinary people in other areas, or in other words, they are already numb."
"..."
"But this is Crane City."
"..."
"After the founding of the Great Yan Dynasty, there were almost no wars here, and the common people were at peace."
"..."
"And this time the rebels attacked the city, which has already made them very frightened. These days, when you go out of the Golden House, do you hardly see the people on the street?"
Ye Zheng thought about it and nodded immediately: "Yes."
"..."
"At night, there's not even a curfew, and the city is empty."
Zhu Feng nodded and said: "Yes, they are all very panicked. At this time, I just hope that we can quickly defeat the rebels and they can return to their former peaceful life. However, the rebels suddenly spread such rumors to the city, Threatening to massacre the city is undoubtedly the last straw on the camel's back."
Ye Zheng suddenly understood: "I understand!"
Zhu Feng looked at him: "Oh."
Ye Zheng said nervously: "If my guess is correct, the next step is that King Ning will spread rumors in the city again to persuade the common people to leave the city and surrender. As long as they surrender, they can avoid death."
"..."
"The people were already panicked, worried about being slaughtered, and given a way out, they will definitely be desperate."
"..."
"by that time-"
Speaking of this, he himself fought a cold war.
Thinking of the possible scenarios, cold sweat broke out on Ye Zheng's forehead.
Zhu Feng said in a deep voice: "Yes, King Ning will definitely do this next step. So now, we must quickly control the people in the city, and don't let them—"
But before he finished speaking, a few people rushed in from the garden, and after a closer look, it was Xiao Shunzi rushing in with a few guards.
"emperor!"
They flew over, with panic expressions on their faces, and knelt in front of Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty, something happened!"
Zhu Feng frowned: "What did the rebels do again?"
Xiao Shunzi gasped and said, "The news just came from the gate of the city that the rebels shot another wave of arrows into the city, and these things were tied to the arrows."
After speaking, he took it out and presented it to Zhu Feng.
Zhu Feng took a look and gritted his teeth.
"really."
Ye Zheng took a look at the side, and it was the same as before, it was a small note, and what was written on it was a few more words than before.
If you go out of the city and surrender, you can avoid death.
Exactly as he guessed.
Zhu Feng pinched the note in his palm and said in a deep voice, "I never thought he would move so fast!"
Ye Zheng sighed heavily.
From the incident at the Great Sacrificial Altar, it can be seen that King Ning's unrestrained and unrestrained appearance in the past was all pretended by him. This person has a meticulous mind and a deep city. Perhaps he may not be able to beat Zhu Feng in battle. , but he has achieved the ultimate in scheming and manipulating people's hearts.
He doesn't need to attack the city.
Instead, let the people in the city open the city gate.
If the emperor wanted to obstruct it, it would be an enemy of the people in the city.
Although everyone knows that the emperor is above ten thousand people, but on the other hand, water can carry a boat and capsize it. If there is a civil uprising, their situation will be even more dangerous.
Ye Zheng said: "Your Majesty, do you still want to control it?"
Zhu Feng thought for a while, and said, "Try to control and hit the men and horses to the gate of the city."
"yes!"
Ye Zheng immediately turned around and went down.
Xiao Shunzi and the others were still kneeling in front of them, Zhu Feng glanced at them and said, "Call all the people around the Golden Building Garden to come in."
Xiao Shunzi raised his head: "Yes, the slaves let them in immediately to escort them."
"Not an escort."
Zhu Feng said: "Let all the people in the garden go to the Hall of Yishou to accompany the Queen and let them protect the Hall of Yishou."
After finishing speaking, he thought for a while and added: "Don't scare Si Nanyan and the princess."
"..."
Hearing these words, Xiao Shunzi glanced at him in surprise and nodded immediately.
"The servant understands."

In the first two days, the nights in Crane City were long.
Even, it is harsh.
The soldiers defending the city had to face the rebels attacking the city, while the common people in the city had to endure the fierce battle outside and the screams of the soldiers when they were wounded. It was like a nightmare, which made them unable to sleep.
Such a night is longer than the usual peaceful year.
But tonight, it happened to pass quickly.
Wen Ye didn't close his eyes all night, but felt, as if in the blink of an eye, a faint fish-belly white had already appeared on the east side of the dark sky.
But this kind of sky light does not make people feel that the light is coming and the darkness is fading.
On the contrary, it makes people feel a heavier oppression.
Because under the city tower, many ordinary people have gathered.
These people were terrified and flustered, with bundles in their hands, and some even led their own cattle, sheep and mules, crowded at the gate of the city, and kept pushing and shoving the guarding soldiers in front of them who prevented them from rushing towards the gate. .
"Open the city gate and let us go out!"
"Yeah, we're going out!"
"If you want to die, you can die in the city. We have to go out and want a way out."
"Let's get out!"
…
Such shouts gradually became louder, converging into shouts, echoing in the city wall one after another, shaking the bricks and stones under people's feet trembling slightly.
Wen Ye leaned on the wall, looked at the situation below, and frowned.
At this time, a lieutenant came forward.
"My lord, the crowd below is excited, if this continues, I'm afraid—"
Someone on the side tentatively said: "Why don't we just open the city gate and let them leave?"
When Wen Ye heard it, he immediately said in a deep voice, "No way!"
