Ningquan Village is the second city established by Li Yan between Gushi and Kucha. It is named after it protects a water source called "Ningquan".
The guardian of the city was a lieutenant named Bai Tian. At this time, he was discussing war with his subordinates in the lieutenant's tent.
"Captain!" asked a 2500-year-old master: "It is reported that General Li Yan has surrounded Kucha. We should not worry about the enemy's invasion."
Kashida shook his head and said:
"If you think so, you're a big mistake."
"Who is that Shen Bing? It is said that even Li Mu died here and was a trap. How could General Li Yan be able to surround him!"
At this time, the story of Shen Bing's plan to kill Li Mu was gradually spread.
This is actually Zhao Gao's desire to cause conflicts within the Shen Bing, because a considerable number of the elite Shenwu army under the Shen Bing were Li Mu's old subordinates, that is, the Northern Cavalry.
If the news spreads, it may cause disagreement among the Shenwu soldiers.
Zhao Gao would never have thought that Shen Bing did not bring the Shenwu Army at all.
Zhao Gao's propaganda made the Qin army admire and fear the Shen Bing... The Qin army's martial arts trend is prevalent, and sometimes even surpasses the enemy and our camps, especially in Yang Duanhe, who is also subject to a eunuch supervision army. Lucky time.
Then two or five hundred masters complained: "It is said that General Yang was ordered by the army supervisor to attack Kucha. When will it be the eunuch's turn to take charge of this marching and fighting..."
"You are so desperate!" Bai Tian quickly interrupted his subordinates, and at the same time lowered his voice and looked outside the tent carefully. Seeing that there was no movement, he felt a little relieved: "Don't raise political affairs, we just need to deal with the marching!"
A group of two or five hundred masters responded one after another, but there was no disconnection in their hearts.
After a while, a subordinate asked, "In the opinion of the lieutenant, would this Shen soldiers come to attack my city?"
Bai Tian nodded, then pointed to the map and said, "This Ningquan is dozens of miles away from both east and west, and reinforcements will take at least two days to arrive. If Shen Bing leads his army to surround my city... I can't wait. How can three thousand people hold on for two days?”
After pausing, Bai Tian continued, "Once Ningquan is lost, General Li Yan's troops surrounding Kucha will be cut off, and the siege of Kucha will be relieved without rescue. If I am a sinking soldier, I will also bring troops here. attack……"
The two or five hundred masters each couldn't help but look at each other. After Katsuda said this, they also felt that the situation was really the case.
Then the 2500 Lord asked, "Captain, what should we do if this Shen soldiers really come to attack?"
"What else can I do!" Kashida replied: "Of course I will fight to the death and never retreat!"
"But the lieutenant." Another 2500-year-old master said: "If we fight against the Huns or the six kingdoms, we will not hesitate as much as we do, but Shen Bing is the man..."
"It is said that the military and civilians do not believe that Prince Fusu will rebel against the emperor, and they speculated that the emperor was deceived by the eunuchs. If this is true, we will fight to the death. If we are not good, we will become a thief..."
When Kashida heard this, he realized that this battle could not be fought.
This is not only because of the huge gap in strength between Ningquanzhai and Shenbing, but also because of the gap in combat effectiveness. More importantly, the soldiers fought for some reason.
To be precise, the military and civilians generally trusted Chen Bing and Fusu, and became suspicious of Ying Zheng's unreasonable imperial edict, so the military's morale was shaken and had no combat power.
This situation made Bai Tian very desperate. In the end, he could only say one sentence: "Think about our family still in Xianyang. If there is a slight mistake, it will be the crime of being executed in the whole family!"
So everyone remained silent, and only sighs were left in the tent.
Bai Tian only hopes that his guess is wrong, and hopes that Chen Bing will not aim at Ningquan.
However, a strange neighing came from outside the camp. Then, with a "collapse" sound, the wooden fences of the city were pulled down...
This is a common tactic used by cavalry to attack the city and villages. First, I sent someone to secretly tie dozens of ropes to the wooden fence, then a hundred horses were pulled, and then suddenly... the city and village would be pulled apart. gap.
Kashi Tian said intimately that something was wrong and hurriedly ordered: "Go to fight!"
Just as I was about to go to the robe, I found that the 2500 masters were sitting still, and I couldn't help but say, "The enemy has arrived, you can wait..."
"Captain, I'm sorry!"
As he said that, several 2500 masters rushed to the front and tied up the general Kashitian.
Bai Tian immediately understood what was going on and cursed: "You are so brave. If you are so unfair, will you ignore your family if you are so unfair?"
"Captain!" A 2500-year-old master replied: "The so-called law does not punish the masses. More than 3,000 people will rebel. Can they still kill all our family members?"
"This is an extraordinary time." Another man said: "The Shen soldiers are watching Dandan. The imperial court is at the right time to stabilize people's hearts. He dares to start a big killing and he will be in trouble?"
Another person said, "If we wait for Ningquan, we will die. Since that's the case, why not take a gamble?"
Bai Tian couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, knowing that it would be useless to say too much.
In fact, what the two or five hundred masters said is right. Even if the court wants to punish the crime in this situation, it will most likely not punish the family members of ordinary soldiers, because if this is the case, there will be too many people to kill.
The court would divert its attention and blame all the blame on the general who led the army, namely Bai Tian, and then drove all the Bai Tian family to kill them.
This can not only kill the chicken to warn the monkey, but also find a way for yourself.
Because Kashita knew this, he kept insisting on his position and dared not surrender. Unexpectedly, now... he couldn't surrender.
So, when Shen Bing stood outside the walled city and shouted inside:
"The general of the Northland is here!"
"Young Master Fusu ordered you to leave the village quickly and surrender. We are all citizens of the Qin Dynasty and will never harm your life!"
Chen Bing's words brought out his and Fusu's names.
This is actually the killing of both kindness and power, while Shen Bing represents the killing, while Fusu represents the identity, status and kindness.
This makes everyone know that surrender is life and resistance is death.
Besides, there is another good excuse... Fusu is the prince of Qin, and may be the true emperor. Surrender may be the right way.
Then how could there be no reason to surrender?
So not long after, I heard the shouting from the village: "General, don't use force, I will surrender!"
Then the Qin army walked out of the gap and arranged the weapons neatly outside the city wall to kneel down in groups.
Fusu was bold and stepped forward in person, then jumped off the horse to help the leaders up and comfort them.
This scene only made Chen Bing tremble. If there were a few fake surrenders and suddenly stepped forward to kill Fusu, all his efforts would be wasted.
However, it is precisely because of this that Fusu truly gained the recognition and support of these surrendered troops.
