"Old Wang, are you done yet?" A man in a cloth shirt asked anxiously outside the tailor shop.
In the room, there was a middle-aged man sitting in front of the desk, his head bowed, his right hand twisting the needle and thread, and he started sewing quickly.
His eyes seemed a little dim, and they were narrowed tightly, leaving only a gap.
Hearing the urging from the man in cloth, Lao Wang turned around and said displeasedly, "Don't rush, there are eight more people before you. I told you that when I'm done, I'll have the boy deliver it to you."
Of!"
The man in the cloth shirt smiled bitterly and said, "You have to hurry up. If Qin Zhenshuai comes and you haven't finished it yet, I won't want it!"
Lao Wang frowned and asked, "Is this Qin Zhenshuai really that fast?"
He is old, has inconvenient legs and feet, and rarely goes out. He doesn't know what everyone is talking about, and he doesn't know much about the situation outside.
I only know that during this period, everyone seems to be nervous. On weekdays, many people will sit under the big locust tree outside the store, basking in the sun and talking about the mountains.
But now, few people pass by outside the store. I heard that they are either staying at home or escaping from the city.
In the past few days, many people suddenly came to his shop and asked him to sew Linzhan flags. This made him full of doubts. As a citizen of the country, what did he want Linzhan flags for?
He would ask every customer, but everyone hesitated and refused to say more. Only one person answered, saying that when Qin Zhenshuai captured the city, he could hang the flag to show his loyalty.
Lao Wang was immediately shocked!
This...
Can it still be like this?
What a joke!
You know, when talking about Qin Yi in the past, everyone would call Qin Yi a kid. But now, he speaks of Qin as the commander-in-chief, as if he is really his own commander-in-chief. This change in attitude is surprising.
What surprised Lao Wang even more was that this city was located in the hinterland of Luan Kingdom. Everyone thought that Qin Yi would attack here soon. Is he really that fast?
Which cities in front of him were captured?
Seeing Lao Wang's puzzled look, the man in cloth sighed, "Qin Zhenshuai's speed is unprecedented. In just half a day, he conquered ten cities, and his troops will soon be here!"
Hearing this, Lao Wang quickly put down the needle and thread in his hand and said urgently, "What else are you going to do with the flag? Run for your life!"
The man in cloth shirt smiled bitterly and said, "Where to escape? Qin Zhen's army is so sharp that no city can stop it. Even Kyoto may not be able to stop it, so you'd better stay well and don't worry!" p>
Lao Wang was horrified and said, "Staying in the city? Isn't that asking for death?"
"If it were another general, he might be seeking death, but Commander Qin Zhen has strict military discipline and strictly orders his subordinates to disturb and offend the people, so even if the city is captured, life will still go on..." The man in cloth shirt said slowly.
Then, he sighed, "It seems that the previous country was almost exhausted, so it faced such a terrifying opponent as Commander Qin. Fortunately, Marshal Qin is a benevolent man, so we can avoid being massacred."
Lao Wang was dubious, "Really?"
The man in cloth shirt nodded, "It's true that after Qin Zhenshuai captured the city, he did not impose martial law. Instead, he allowed people in the city to enter and leave the city freely. Everyone was still wondering why he acted in this way, and it was not until later that he fully understood."
Lao Wang was very confused, why should this be done?
Aren’t you afraid that everyone in the city will run away?
As if he had guessed what Lao Wang was thinking, the man in cloth said with a wry smile, "Most of the people in Ying'an City and Qucheng City did run away. They ran to Xiongtun Pass, Wencheng, and Jingluo City, but guess what? ?"
"As soon as they entered the city, or even before they entered the city, these cities were captured by Qin Zhenshuai again!"
"They continued to run back, but every time they entered the city, before they could take a breath, Qin Zhenshuai's troops began to attack the city again."
"After running around for several times, everyone was tired and too lazy to bother. Some people from the previous country who did not escape stayed in the city for a few days and found that Shuai Qiu of Qin Town was not guilty, so they passed the news on."
"So all the people in the major cities knew that Marshal Qin would not harm innocent people. Not only did he stay here, but he also advised the city guards not to resist, but to go out of the city and surrender." At this point, the man in cloth shirt said. His face was full of bitterness.
There is no martial law to lock down the city, just to allow the people to pass the news to each other, so that Li Shu can return to his heart, and then surrender.
This tactic is very sharp!
After hearing this, Lao Wang remained silent, and then whispered, "I heard that Marshal Qin has created a very sharp siege weapon. No city can defend it. Presumably the city guards are not willing to wait for the city to be broken." Imprisoned."
The man in cloth shirt responded, "Yes, the defenders of the two previous cities left the city and surrendered just before Qin Yi attacked the city, thus avoiding the fate of being imprisoned."
Therefore, Qin Yi's men have captured fifteen cities, while only eight are left in Luan's hands...
"What about this city? How does the city guard decide?" Lao Wang asked worriedly.
The man in cloth shirt sighed softly, "I heard that the rich gentry and famous people in the city have gone to the city guard's mansion together to persuade the city guard not to resist..."
Lao Wang was silent for a long time, then continued, "You go back first, and when I finish making the nine flags, I will make them yours."
The man in cloth was stunned for a moment and said anxiously, "Didn't I just say that there were only eight people in front of me?"
Lao Wang glanced at him and said, "I want to do something myself."
Man in cloth shirt: "..."
……
The scene of people all over the city looking for a way out is repeated in the city that has not yet fallen.
Even in their dreams, they had never imagined that their country was about to be defeated.
When we got to the back, more and more cities were lost, and everyone no longer had the shock at the beginning and became numb.
I'm just counting the days to see when Qin Yi will attack the city.
In addition to making flags to show loyalty, many officials in the city are thinking about what secrets they can present to please Qin Yi and obtain an official position.
You can even climb up your thighs to jump onto a branch and become a phoenix!
……
"Your Majesty, Qin Yi not only has weapons to attack the city, but also has treacherous tricks, which has destroyed the fighting spirit of our people and soldiers. Now, among the people and the army, people's hearts are floating. Everyone wants to surrender and has no intention to fight.
!"
In the main hall of the previous country, a civil servant made a painful statement.
Another person came out and said, "We have also heard that in many fallen cities, the people of the previous country not only did not fight against the enemy, but also shamelessly passed on the news to make the people in other cities want to surrender.
It’s really hateful!”
If you don't do something, maybe... your country will really be destroyed!
On the steps, Cai Shao, the king of the previous country, had suddenly turned white in a few nights, and his complexion was pale and extremely depressed!
He didn't expect that the enemy's attack would be so fast. He lost half of the country before he could do anything!
Is God going to destroy our country?
Thinking of this, Cai Shao became more and more depressed, and his heart kept sinking, as if he was being pressed by a huge boulder, and he couldn't breathe at all!
