"General... General..., the city gate is open!" When Wang Deren said this, he even suspected that his eyes were dazzled, and he even rubbed his eyes.
Even after rubbing his eyes, he slapped himself on the forehead to see if he woke up.
The enemy troops had been defeated by them until they were exhausted, but they still gritted their teeth and refused to surrender, but now the city gate suddenly opened, making everyone suspicious.
Unless you are really the kind of person who is extremely reckless, otherwise, anyone who has a little bit of thought would not dare to take risks at this time.
"Let the soldiers be ready!" Di Qing ordered in surprise.
The city gates were already open at this time, but Di Qing hesitated at this time and did not give the order to rush in immediately.
Who opened the car door without any abnormality? The first thing that came to his mind was not the enemy's conspiracy, but the first thing he thought about was how to get in?
"General, someone is coming out! Someone is coming out of the city!" Wang Deren pointed in the direction of the city gate and exclaimed in surprise.
Not only did people come out of the city gate, but there were also quite a few people watching them come out.
"These people..." Looking at these people walking out of the city gate like a long dragon from a distance, Di Qing was stunned at this time.
These people who came out were not the remaining defenders in the city. They vaguely looked like they were high-ranking officials. Judging from their clothes, they were definitely of high status, and from the looks of it, they were almost all old, weak, women and children.
Men and women, old and young, everyone is welcome.
"My dear, won't all the dignitaries in Pengcheng come out!" Gao Shunli said in disbelief!
"General, the city gate is closed again!" Wang Deren reminded.
Sure enough, as everyone walked out of the city gate, the city gate behind them also closed with a merciless creak. Originally, it was just a slightly larger gap that could barely accommodate a carriage and was closed.
It's much easier too.
"General, what should we do?" Gao Shunli pointed at the dignitaries who had left the city gate.
"Take it down first!" Di Qing hesitated for a moment and then said.
Although he couldn't figure out why the other party wanted to let these people out, wouldn't this clearly put their lives in their hands?
However, since these people have already come out, it is natural to control them first!
Why are they fighting so hard to attack Pengcheng? Is it just such a city?
What they want is not the city itself, but the people in the city.
What he wants is to control the family members of all the civil and military officials up and down Zhao Kuangyin's power, and control the lifeblood of these civil and military officials! With these people in his hands, even if there are a few who would rather die than escape, most of them will
I'm afraid it's better to be soft and soft.
At most, we can just give them a step down when the time comes!
"General Di, Yi Yin's skills are not simple!" Shi Bo was not as excited as most generals at this time, but frowned.
Di Qing is a very pure general. He is good at leading troops in war, but like most generals, he only knows how to fight and is not good at politics. Shi Bo can figure out many problems, but he may not be able to.
.
"General, do you think that even if these people are in my hands, we can still perform as expected?" Shi Bo couldn't help asking.
Shi Bo has already thought about it now. With the arrival of these people, Yi Yin will definitely be oppressed by Yi Yin.
Yi Yin knew that Pengcheng could no longer be defended and these people would fall into Di Qing's hands sooner or later. With no hope of external support, he simply chose the lesser of the two evils and cut the losses in advance.
Instead of waiting for Di Qing to take these people into his hands after the city is broken, it would be better for him to take the initiative to send them out, and also send them out in the name of Zhao Kuangyin.
Sure enough, what Shi Bo guessed was almost the same. Along with these people came a letter that Yi Yin took out in the name of Zhao Kuangyin.
The general meaning of the letter is also very simple. It is nothing more than that Zhao Kuangyin, as the leader, could not bear the end of his men's family being ruined, and the next step was to praise the Jin army. What a benevolent and righteous teacher came, and the final meaning was to tell these
The people were handed over to the hands of the Jin army. Presumably because of the benevolence and righteousness of the Jin army, even if the two sides were hostile, they would never attack these civil and military wives, children, and children.
Yi Yin came to this trick, and if Di Qing did anything to these people again, I'm afraid the reputation of the Jin army would not be preserved.
In particular, Yi Yin took the initiative to release 300 Jin prisoners in order to express his sincerity. The two sides had fought for so many years, and some of the prisoners on the other side were normal. But these prisoners had been held captive for so many years, and they were no longer Jin soldiers.
Army!
After all, how could a soldier in this era have so much loyalty? Didn't he help whomever he fell into fighting?
Moreover, taking the initiative to put the lifeline in the hands of the Jin army will indeed have an impact on the hearts of the civil and military people below.
However, it is precisely because of the word initiative, and it is Zhao Kuangyin's initiative, that it is a kind of restraint for these people, a kind of moral restraint.
If the king regards his ministers as his brothers and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart. Now, when the building is about to collapse, the monarch will voluntarily send your family, wife, children, and children into the hands of the enemy, and use this alternative method to protect them at all costs.
And if the ministers abandon the monarch at this time, they will really "leave their name in history" in the future.
In short, Yi Yin's move today, although it is not completely useless after these people are in their hands, at least the effect is definitely greatly reduced.
After listening to Shi Bo's explanation, Di Qing finally understood Yi Yin's evil intentions. Although it seemed that he had achieved his intended purpose, he still felt as disgusting as eating a fly.
Many generals also showed expressions of pity at this time. Listening to what Shi Bo said just now, they couldn't move these people. Among these people, there were many pretty young ladies, and they couldn't move either.
.
Under normal circumstances, if the city is broken, wouldn't it be easy for these generals to take advantage of this little lady?
"Go down with the order, reorganize the troops and prepare to attack the city!" Di Qing gritted his teeth.
Yi Yin just opened the city gate and let these people out when nothing could be done, but he himself did not surrender.
After releasing these people, he closed the city gate again. As the most typical recalcitrant among Zhao Kuangyin's forces, he would naturally resist to the end.
Therefore, the people were sent out, but the opponent in the city did not give up. Even if he killed one more Jin army, he would kill one more Jin army.
