Chapter 1206 -1200: Certain Death

“Thank you, General!”

“Thank you, General!”

With a stern face, Liu Pinggao spoke, “We had an agreement that once you left the city, you could not return. However, I took it upon myself to allow you in, considering you are now citizens of Zhou. You must understand this goodwill won’t happen a second time!”

“Now you must realize… to the Xiliang army, you are already citizens of Zhou. You should know the habits of the Xiliang army: after seizing a city, they massacre!” Liu Pinggao glanced over these citizens and said loudly, “So, if any of you want to survive, you must work together with the soldiers to defend Jiangzi City!”

“And you!” Liu Pinggao once again looked at the citizens kneeling on the ground who had just returned from outside the city, “I will remember your actions this time! If you can achieve merit while resisting the enemy, all will be forgiven. But if you fail to achieve merit…”

Liu Pinggao’s voice paused, “If you fail to achieve merit and let Xiliang attack, then you will truly die!”

After speaking, Liu Pinggao turned and left…

At this point, the citizens of the city were convinced that if Jiangzi City was breached, they would surely perish.

Everyone has the desire to survive; who doesn’t want to live?

Thus, the citizens worked harder and desperately transported all the materials that could resist the enemy to the city walls.

Liu Pinggao happily went to report to Bai Qingyan, naturally recounting how he infuriated the Xiliang generals and how he made them suspicious, and how the citizens had lost hope in the Xiliang army, in detail.

“You did very well in this matter!” Bai Qingyan had a slight smile on her face, “Looking at the citizens working together now, even if Xiliang really attacks the city, I’m afraid they won’t take Jiangzi City easily.”

“Your Majesty is correct!”

“Additionally, tonight form a small team to secretly head out, set a few fires in the Xiliang camp, and return after causing chaos!” Bai Qingyan’s goal is to prevent the Xiliang soldiers from resting well.

“Yes!” Liu Pinggao accepted the order.

The news that the Xiliang army was laying siege reached Yecheng Pass, and upon hearing it, Yang Wuce urgently sent people to investigate. The scouts returned, stating Xiliang indeed surrounded Jiangzi City, but the cities along the way were asked, and the Emperor had not signaled with the wolf smoke.

Even though Yang Wuce hadn’t followed Bai Qingyan for long, he understood in his heart that Bai Qingyan always acted with discretion.

Since Bai Qingyan hadn’t signaled with the wolf smoke, it meant she didn’t want them to rush with reinforcements; she had her own plans.

Yang Wuce thought for a long time before ordering people to constantly monitor Jiangzi City’s situation. If there was any movement, they should immediately send someone to report.

Still feeling uneasy, Yang Wuce sent a small unit over, instructing them to send news back every half day.
