The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1204: More than enough to die
Chapter 1204 Deserves to Die
Some Xiliang people refused to give up and did not want to stay in the city and wait for death with the Zhou army, so they stood on the right side in the hope of getting lucky.
After all, Jiangzi City is surrounded on all sides, and the food in the city is limited. Now their Great Zhou army is willing to give food to the people. Who knows if they are feeding them…
They had encountered this before on their way to escape famine…
Although they would dream of asking for his life every night, they felt lucky to be still alive when they woke up.
Now that the four gates in the city were blocked, in order to prevent him from becoming food for the Great Zhou army, they had to leave the city no matter what.
When some people heard that Liu Pinggao had asked the soldiers to take them to the city wall to have a look, they finally believed Liu Pinggao’s words and wanted to follow Wang Jin to the city wall to have a look…
There were also a small number of people who insisted on leaving the city. After quarreling with their wives, they left their wives and children in the city, saying that they would go out first to try, and if they could really get out, it would not be too late for their wives and children to come out later.
Soon the city gates opened, and the people huddled together and slowly walked towards the Xiliang army, shouting in the Xiliang dialect: “We are the people of Xiliang, and we came out of the city just to save our lives. Please let us go, General!”
On the city wall, the people who had just become citizens of the Great Zhou were extremely nervous. They looked at the people who were leaving the city getting farther and farther away, and prayed silently in their hearts that they could pass smoothly so that they could also leave the city.
Unexpectedly, before they could get close, the Xiliang cavalry rushed out, holding bows and arrows to force them to go back…
The people knelt down in front of the Xiliang soldiers and begged, “We don’t want to die in the city with the Great Zhou! We were originally Xiliang people, and we entered the city to become Great Zhou people just to have a bite to eat and to survive. But we are native Xiliang people!”
“Yes, if it’s not for survival, who would be willing to become a member of the Great Zhou? General, please give us a way to survive and let us go!”
The Xiliang general riding on horseback knew that he must not let these people leave, otherwise some soldiers from the Great Zhou who were sent out to deliver the message would really mix in and replace the identities of the Xiliang people, which would ruin Xiliang’s plans!
He drew his bow to its full length and said, “I say again, get back, or I’ll kill you without mercy!”
“General! General, please let us go because we are all from Xiliang…”
The commoner who came to beg General Xiliang for help had just knelt forward when he was pierced through the heart by an arrow and fell into a pool of blood.
Suddenly the people panicked and huddled together.
The Xiliang general who killed the civilians trembled slightly, tightly grasped the reins and shouted: “If you dare to move forward, this man will be your fate!”
Although he knew that these people might be most of the people from Xiliang, he really could not let them leave, and he could not let the Emperor of Great Zhou know that they, Xiliang, cared about these people. Otherwise… the Emperor of Great Zhou would definitely use these people to threaten their Xiliang army!
General Xiliang believed that Bai Qingyan released these people to test Xiliang, and he must not show weakness.
Only Xiliang did not care about these people and allowed them to stay in the city to consume the food of Da Zhou. Da Zhou had to be on guard against these people at all times and thus consume the Da Zhou army.
When the people saw this situation, they immediately turned around and ran towards the city wall of Gyantse.
“Archers, get ready!” Liu Pinggao shouted loudly.
The Xiliang general opened his eyes wide when he heard Liu Pinggao’s voice, and almost called out to call the people back…
“General! General, I can’t do that! Please, my child is still young and can’t be without a father!”
“General, please let them enter the city!”
Seeing that Xiliang would not let the people leave and was even killing people, the Great Zhou had just said that once you leave the city, you are no longer a citizen of the Great Zhou and cannot enter the city. Now the archers have been asked to prepare. As unarmed civilians, what else can we do except kneel down and beg?
“We have made an agreement beforehand…” Liu Pinggao made a painful expression, “Once you leave the city, you are no longer citizens of the Great Zhou. They are the ones who want to abandon us. Can it be that our Jiangzi City can only be your retreat?”
“We will never dare to do that again, General! From now on, we will just be peaceful citizens of the Great Zhou!”
“General, we must join forces with the Great Zhou army to fight the enemy. Xiliang wants to kill us, but the Great Zhou gives us food and houses. We know who is good and who is bad! General, please give them another chance and let them come back!”
“General, please!”
The people kowtowed and begged, while the people under the city wall didn’t know what was going on for the time being and were talking about it. They didn’t know whether the people on the city wall were crying and begging to be allowed to leave, or something else!
Soon, the people ran to the city wall, kneeling down and begging Liu Pinggao to open the gate and let them enter the city…
In the distance, General Xiliang rode on his horse and watched quietly. If Da Zhou killed these civilians, it meant that these people were indeed ordinary people. He might be wrong not to let the people leave this time!
However, if the Great Zhou opened the city gates to let those Bai Xin enter the city, it would mean that there were people from their Great Zhou among the people, and he was not wrong to kill them!
Soldiers have existed since ancient times to protect the people, but this time he had to kill one with his own hands for Xiliang, and he didn’t want to kill the wrong person.
Soon, Liu Pinggao gritted his teeth and said, “Forget it! They have all become citizens of the Great Zhou. As the elite warriors of the Great Zhou, it is unreasonable for us to shut out our own people. Open the city gates and let them in!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire city wall was filled with the sound of people bowing their heads in gratitude.
From a distance, General Xiliang saw that the city gate had opened a crack and the Great Zhou army was letting the people enter the city. He sneered… and his heart suddenly hardened.
Sure enough, the Great Zhou had their own soldiers blend in with the people of Xiliang in order to deceive him and try to get him to let those people leave.
Fortunately he killed one!
Otherwise, if they are really allowed to pass through, it will ruin Xiliang’s future!
These people were common people of Xiliang, but they collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, helping the Zhou Dynasty to deal with Xiliang. They deserved to be put to death!
Thinking of this, the general took a fierce look at the corpse lying in the blood amber, turned his horse around, and led his troops back.
He left the body there to intimidate the Great Zhou army and see if they dared to send anyone out.
·
Liu Pinggao grasped the sword at his waist and came down from the city wall, followed by the people.
Those civilians who escaped death from outside the city collapsed to the ground as soon as they entered the city gate, with sweat pouring down their backs.
Seeing Liu Pinggao coming, he hurriedly knelt down with his frightened body exhausted, and thanked Liu Pinggao.
