Chapter 1205: must die
Chapter 1205: Death is Certain
“Thank you, General!”
“Thank you, General!”
Liu Pinggao said with a stern face: “We originally said that you can’t come back after leaving the city, but this general, considering that you are citizens of the Great Zhou, has taken the initiative to allow you to enter the city. You must understand that such a good thing will never happen again!”
“Now you know… To the Xiliang Army, you are already citizens of the Great Zhou. You should know the habits of the Xiliang Army. After they capture a city, they will massacre it!” Liu Pinggao glanced at the people and said loudly, “So, if you want to survive, you must work together with the soldiers to defend Jiangzi City!”
“And you!” Liu Pinggao looked at the people who were kneeling on the ground and had just returned from outside the city. “You will remember what happened this time! It would be great if you can make merit in fighting against the enemy this time. If you can’t…”
Liu Pinggao paused and said, “If I fail to accomplish my mission and Xiliang attacks me, I will really die!”
After saying that, Liu Pinggao turned and left…
At this point, the people in the city firmly believed that if Gyantse City was breached, they would surely die.
As long as you are a human being, you have the desire to survive. Who doesn’t want to live?
So the people worked harder and harder, transporting supplies that could be used to defend the city against the enemy to the city walls.
Liu Ping came to report to Bai Qingyan happily, and naturally recounted in detail how he had angered those Xiliang generals, how he had aroused the suspicion of that Xiliang general, and how the people had lost hope in the Xiliang army.
“You did a great job on this matter!” Bai Qingyan smiled faintly, “Look at the people in the city working together now. Even if Xiliang really attacks the city, I’m afraid it will take a while to take down Gyantse.”
“Your Majesty is right!”
“Also, form a small team tonight, go out quietly, set a few fires in the Xiliang military camp, disrupt them, and then come back!” Bai Qingyan’s goal was to prevent the Xiliang soldiers from getting a good rest.
“Yes!” Liu Pinggao accepted the order.

The news that the Western Liang army was besieging the city reached Yecheng Pass. Upon hearing this, Yang Wuce hurriedly sent people to inquire. The people who inquired came back and said that the Western Liang army had indeed surrounded the city of Gyantse, but after asking the cities along the way, they found that His Majesty had not lit the signal smoke.
Although Yang Wuce had only followed Bai Qingyan for a short time, he knew in his heart that Bai Qingyan always acted with propriety.
Since Bai Qingyan did not allow the signal smoke to be lit, it means that Bai Qingyan did not want them to rescue her, and she had her own plans.
After thinking for a while, Yang Wuce sent people to keep an eye on the situation in Gyantse City at all times, and immediately send people to report if there was any unusual movement in Gyantse City.
Even so, Yang Wuce was still worried, so he ordered someone to take a small troop over and send someone back with news every half a day.
When old General Cui Shanzhong learned that someone had finally been sent from Yechengguan to inquire about the situation, he was immediately excited. He was afraid that there would be no movement from Yechengguan.
However, Yang Wuce sent people to investigate, but he did not bring troops to help. Old General Cui Shanzhong had to urge the generals in the army to stay calm and not act rashly.
Not long after that, a small group of no more than fifty men arrived from Yecheng Pass. Not only was this not enough to fill the gap in the Xiliang Army’s teeth, but if they really fought… it would instead alert the defenders of Yecheng Pass.
Today, a team of one hundred people came from the direction of Yechengguan and frequently sent messages to Yechengguan.
The Xiliang spies in Yechengguan also sent news that Yang Wuce had already assembled a large army and seemed ready to come to the rescue at any time.
“Send people to keep an eye on Yecheng Pass. Don’t stop the spies they sent from reporting back and forth. General, let’s attack the city tomorrow. Let the spies at Yecheng Pass go back and report to the general guarding Yecheng Pass. I don’t believe they won’t come to rescue you!” The generals under the command of General Cui Shanzhong requested loudly, “As long as they come… we can set up an ambush and wipe out the troops at Yecheng Pass at the lowest cost! Then we can take back Yecheng Pass… The main force of the Great Zhou heading to our capital Yunjing will be cut off from food!”
General Cui remained silent, but… their Xiliang army was running out of food.
He originally planned to persist for a while for the sake of food, first rob the food of the Great Zhou, and then use the Great Zhou emperor trapped in Gyantse City to lure the defenders of Yecheng Pass to rescue him, so that their Xiliang army could set up an ambush and annihilate them in one fell swoop.
But in recent days, they have been really embarrassed by the Great Zhou army within the high walls.
The Great Zhou army opened and closed the city gates from time to time, either changing the cooking time or sending out cavalry to stroll around and set a fire, then return after the Western Liang army rushed out.
Separated by the high wall, the Xiliang Army was unable to do anything to the Great Zhou Army that came to cause trouble, which was very annoying. The soldiers of the Xiliang Army could not rest well, but they could only helplessly scold the Great Zhou Army for being cowardly and cowardly.
If they continue like this, it would be fine if they can’t get enough rest, but I’m afraid that the soldiers in Xiliang will think that Da Zhou will only engage in minor fights like this, and will look down on Da Zhou. Once Da Zhou really attacks the camp, it will be a disaster.
Old General Cui Shanzhong counted the days and it was almost time for the Great Zhou to send food to the front line…
Thinking of this, General Cui turned to ask his deputy general: “I asked you to send people to mobilize troops from several cities that have not yet been captured by the Great Zhou. Did you get a reply?”
“General, when they heard that you were coming out of retirement, they were all willing to follow you and have already set out on the journey. Plus, I promised them that as long as they brought enough rations for the journey, we would be the one to supply them when they got to the front line. So… before we arrived at Gyantse City, they traveled day and night. Although they haven’t arrived yet, they send people to report every day. I estimate that they will arrive by tomorrow noon at the latest!” the deputy general replied.
Hearing this, General Cui felt confident and said, “Send General Liu to meet the reinforcements immediately, and lead them to bypass Jiangzi City and set up an ambush on the grain road of Da Zhou! Let the soldiers besieging the city eat well tonight and have a good rest. Tomorrow… attack the city! Force the guard of Yecheng Pass to come to Jiangzi City.”
Thinking of the fact that the smoke from cooking only rose once a day in Xiliang these days, General Cui said, “When we cook at noon today, have the firemen bring out the afternoon rations. The soldiers will eat some rations at night and don’t cook anymore. Otherwise, if the Great Zhou army finds us, they will be on guard. We must behave as usual!”
“yes!”
Hearing that they were finally going to attack the city, the generals of Xiliang were very excited.

In the past few days, Bai Qingyan sent out the Bai family’s secret guards who were good at observing the enemy’s movements to monitor the Xiliang army opposite.
The Bai family army first saw that the Xiliang army, which had been peaceful for a few days… First, a messenger set out from the military camp outside the south gate of Gyantse City where the old general Cui Shanzhong was stationed. Then, after receiving the order from the messenger, the Xiliang military camps outside the east gate, north gate, and west gate all started to move. It was obvious that there was some action going on.
