After Cui Yang left, Shui Yichen looked up at Ye Zhen, "You give them room, they don't seem to appreciate it."
"I have never left room for Li Heng. There are still three days left. There are many people in Doumenguan who are unwilling to fight. As long as they surrender, we can spare them death." Ye Zhen said lightly, and the truce lasted for more than ten days. It's not that she didn't do anything, Jiang Dachuan has already been to Doumen Pass, Cui Yang just brought five thousand elite soldiers to support, some of the soldiers left behind at Doumen Pass were forced to join the army, as long as they are freed, Give them a chance to go back and be with their families, they don't want to come and die.
A meaningful smile flashed in Shui Yichen's eyes, "Is this throwing bricks to attract jade?"
Once this news gets out, those soldiers who have long complained about Li Heng will try to escape from the barracks. As long as Doumen is closed in chaos, the news of Tianfei's tax exemption for three years will spread to all parts of Dongqing Kingdom, and the entire Dongqing Kingdom Everyone's hearts will be shaken, and it will be easier for Ye Zhen to get Dongqing.
"No, I just want to watch the fire from the other side." Ye Zhen smiled a little brightly, and the brilliance in her eyes was so bright that people dare not look directly at her.
"What will you do after obtaining Dongqing Kingdom in the future? Will you go back to be the queen of Jin Kingdom, or continue to be the concubine?" Shui Yichen asked Ye Zhen with deep eyes.
Ye Zhen pursed her lips. She hadn't thought about this issue carefully. She had been only thinking about how to get Dongqing Country and make Li Heng, an ungrateful thing, pay the price, but she hadn't thought about what to do after getting Dongqing Country. What.
No wonder when she left Huaguo, her father said that it would be very difficult for her to choose in the future.
Is this the so-called difficult
If Shui Yichen hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have known that Concubine Tian meant Empress.
"Didn't you get Dongqing Kingdom yet? Let's talk about it after you get it." Ye Zhen said with a smile, she can't make a choice now, once she wants to be their concubine, she can't be the queen of Jin Kingdom, If she returns to the Kingdom of Jin to become the queen, what will the hundred thousand soldiers do? They followed her to the Central Plains and wanted to recognize their ancestors, and she could not abandon them.
Shui Yichen didn't force Ye Zhen to make a choice at this time, "I'm going to prepare."
"Sister Ye, don't you like Concubine Tian?" Shui Miaomiao looked at Ye Zhen suspiciously and asked.
"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that it's difficult 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 Murong Zhan, if she really took Dongqing Kingdom and became a concubine, she wouldn't be able to be with Murong Zhan every day.
…
…
Cui Yang went back to Doumen Pass and announced that he would fight in three days. The soldiers in Dongqing State's barracks were all panicked. 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 handed over the letter of surrender to Beiming Kingdom, why can't he surrender again
"I don't want to fight anymore!" Inside a tent in the barracks, an ordinary soldier suddenly stood up and shouted, "What's the point of us continuing to fight? Defending our home and our country, do we still have a home? Do we still have a country? In the past few years, the common people in the entire Dongqing Kingdom have not been complaining, the emperor followed Beitang Yu's example and captured the strong men and sent them into the army, and he did not consider the lives of our common people at all, even if we die on the battlefield, what will our family gain?"
"What do you say, you dare to say such a thing!" Someone scolded him in a low voice.
The soldier shouted with red eyes, "Why should I not dare? I was originally just a farmer. There were old and young in my family. When I was arrested in the barracks, the child in my wife's belly was only six months old. , if the emperor hadn't 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!"
"Now the Concubine Tian is from the Atlantic Ocean. Over the past few days, have you seen any civilians in those ten cities killed? They are from the Dongqing Kingdom, but they easily surrendered to Concubine Tian. I heard that, That concubine exempted them from taxes for three years, and also promised that if their families were in the military camp, they could go home and reunite as long as they wanted."
"My mother is in Qingyun City."
"If we go to war in three days, we will definitely die..."
"let's go!"
"Walk!"
When the army's morale was in turmoil, it would affect one camp after another. When Cui Yang and the others found out, more than half of the soldiers rushed towards the city gate clamoring. They didn't want to fight or die.
"Are you going to rebel? Stop!" General Li roared loudly at the city gate.
Cui Yang's eyes were solemn and serious, only he knew that his heart was full of sadness.
"We don't want to die!"
"The emperor doesn't care about our lives at all, why would he rather surrender to Beiming Kingdom than compromise with Concubine Tian?"
"Yes, we don't want to die."
General Li shouted angrily, "Do you think that woman will let you go if you leave Doumenguan?"
"If we don't go, we will die in three days."
Cui Yang took a deep breath. Now that the entire barracks has been demoralized, even if these people stay, it won't change the outcome. "Let them go."
General Li looked back at Cui Yang in disbelief, "General Cui, what did you say?"
"They don't want to stay anymore. Forcing them to stay will only make them feel resentful. Don't start civil strife before the war." Cui Yang said in a low voice. If these people are not released from the city gate, he will I can guarantee that tomorrow these people will rebel.
"We only have 20,000 soldiers. If these people leave, how can we... How can we fight?" General Li asked.
Cui Yang said, "Could it be that if we stay, we will be sure of victory?"
Anyway, the ending is already doomed, it is better to let more people survive, "Let them go, whoever wants to leave, just leave."
"General Cui!" General Li felt Cui Yang's despair. In fact, he also felt helpless. They sent people to Wangducheng to ask for help, but what they got was not support, but the emperor once again brought tribute to Beiming Kingdom, begging Beiming country to help.
Beiming Kingdom is already in danger of protecting itself, how can it be possible to help them
Cui Yang stood on top of the city gate, looking up at the front, Dongqing Kingdom might really have to change its dynasty.
