"Yes, there are a lot of firewood around the houses inside. I suspect that there may be oil in other places. When our army goes in at night, these people will ignite the firewood with oil and catch us off guard. You calculated quite accurately; if we fall for it, it will be a great defeat. If they use the Great King to threaten us at this ti, it will surely demoralize our troops. What a good sche."
"This sche is very vicious." Xun Zihuai knows that war is cruel, but to burn people alive, it sounds terrifying. The suffering of the dying is evident even without experiencing it.
"Are you going out, General?"
"Hmm, I plan to clear out the place overnight, to break their sche. They have probably received the news that we are encamped outside the city today, so they won’t stay in the city. Tonight, we break the sche, by morning, we can enter the city and capture the enemy in a pot."
"If my guess is correct, not far from the other side, many civilians should be settled. It’s not easy to relocate all the people of a whole city. Based on the attitude of the civilians toward our army after previous sieges, these civilians probably aren’t willingly camping outside; they must have been threatened."
Xun Zihuai: "If the General trusts , let bring those civilians back tomorrow. Give so n, I assure you the remaining civilians in the city will look forward to your unification."
"How many n do you need?"
"A hundred elite soldiers will suffice."
"Alright, I’ll give them to you."
That night, Qiann Yan led two thousand elite soldiers to clear all the firewood from within the entire city, found the oil used for ignition, thanks to Xun Zihuai’s calculations. They also captured the inner agents stationed in the city.
At dawn, Qiann Yan led the army into the city.
anwhile, Xun Zihuai took the one hundred elite soldiers, secretly went to the other side, and hid in the grass waiting for the opportunity. In the evening, when so suspicious people sneaked into the city, he led his n away.
Those who sneaked into the city were caught imdiately upon entry.
By the next morning, Xun Zihuai brought the original city’s civilians back into the city. Naturally, this city and all its civilians now belonged to Qiann Yan.
The civilians had long anticipated General Yun’s arrival, but Prince Chang was unwilling and threatened residents with their lives, forcing them to prepare firewood and drive them outside. They were closely watched, and those who secretly tried to report were killed, so no one dared to act.
Now seeing the situation turned around, everyone cheered.
"General’s unification of the world is the trend, and the people’s desire." Xun Zihuai complinted without reservation, to which Qiann Yan had long been accustod.
After a few days of reorganization, Qiann Yan continued to siege cities.
The next three cities proceeded smoothly. Again, it was Xun Zihuai’s arranged people who played a role, persuading civilians already in favor of Qiann Yan to take advantage of the guards’ negligence, killing them and opening the city gates.
At this point, only Prince Chang’s Capital City was left.
Qiann Yan brought her army to the foot of Prince Chang’s Capital City.
Prince Chang’s dream of endless feasts and revelry was shattered, forcing him to co to the city wall with a hateful expression on his fat face, loathing the woman below.
If it weren’t for her existence, he would at least control half of the world.
How could soone like Hee Qingshan possibly be his match?
"You are indeed fortunate to have such a woman conquer the kingdom for you." Prince Chang couldn’t help but express his anger, slapping Hee Qingshan’s face several tis, making his handso face swell instantly.
"Is it because you relied on this face to keep Yun Qianyan wrapped around your finger?"
