Chapter 292
"In three days, the city will be attacked no matter what." Qin Guangmo knew the reason in her heart, and decided the result for her.After all, the southern border army was short of water and food, and the people trapped in the city were even more hungry. In the end, it was still the people of Daxia who couldn't consume it.
"Are you trying to take advantage of the chaos and do Yang Zisu? Then pass the killing on to the enemy army on the opposite side?" After working together for several years, it is impossible for Wei Yueyan not to know Qin Guangmo's methods.
Qin Guangmo was noncommittal, and only asked Wei Yueyan, "Isn't that what your plan is? The Southern Border Army is cruel and ruthless. They take the people in the city as hostages. If we don't attack the city again, they will most likely slaughter the city if we don't hold back." At that time, blood will flow and corpses will float for thousands of miles. If you take the initiative to attack the city at this time, you can at least minimize the loss. If you are worried about that reason, you can blame it on me."
"The recent actions of the Southern Border Army are unimaginable, and they may be fraudulent. Letting you take risks like this is not worth the loss. I can't do this." Wei Yueyan vetoed it.
The place where they are now camping is the Krissu River Basin in southern Xinjiang, and the last remaining Longxi City bypasses the Krissu River to connect to the border of southern Xinjiang.Wei Yueyan circled the city and camped here.However, whether it is a besieged city or a semi-sieged city, just like the black and white twins in hand-to-hand talks, the reversal between the besieged and the besieged when the outcome is not yet decided is a common trend.If you approach rashly, it is very likely that you will be attacked from all sides.
Qin Guang stared at the model in the sand table, turned around to grab a thin stick, and stopped when he reached Longxi City, "Oh, the geographical location of this city itself is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it weren't for the fact that the city is still There are some women, children and children who cannot escape, I really want to advise you to directly flood the city with water."
Wei Yueyan followed his thin stick to see that the location of Longxi City was like the bloody mouth of a gigantic monster, which could swallow people in at any time. Two pools of Krissu pearls were inlaid beside it. At this moment, the river water looked like the eyes of a monster, shooting out a bloodthirsty and strange light in the darkness.
"Even if this is the case, they are still the people of Daxia. If they persist, how can Daxia give up on them. Not to mention such frontier fortresses, no matter how dangerous or small the city is, it is also Daxia's territory. With me here, I will definitely keep the Great Xia intact."
When the two were anxious, a scout suddenly came to report with a secret letter.
Wei Yueyan turned around, "Report quickly."
"Yes."
The scout cupped his fists and said, "The Southern Border Army has made some moves."
"what?"
"what happened!"
Qin Guangmo and Wei Yueyan spoke in unison in shock.Qin Guangmo hurriedly took a step forward, took the secret letter in the scout's hand and shook it open for a closer look.
The scout continued to report: "The battle is protracted, the Southern Border Army..."
"It's really a poisonous trick." Qin Guangmo's hand holding the secret letter trembled slightly. Wei Yueyan asked him what was wrong, and Qin Guangmo replied concisely: "As expected, they couldn't bear it anymore, and they wanted to use the common people to make money." Demon."
Qin Guangmo and Wei Yueyan looked at each other, and at the same time, they could see the anxiety that couldn't go away from each other's eyes.
"You have a bad reputation for killing prisoners of war. If you abandon these civilians at this time..." Qin Guangmo turned to Wei Yueyan, "But don't act rashly right now, you..."
Wei Yueyan clenched his ten fingers tightly, rattling, but when he raised his eyes, his eyes were bright and clear.
"My answer is the same as yours."

next day
Wei Yueyan led the troops to the outside of Longxi City. She could have commanded the closed city gate to be smashed open with a giant log, but she didn't.Everyone's eyes were attracted by the [-] human figures hanging on the city wall. The people who were already hungry and emaciated were tied up with thick hemp ropes and hung on the city wall. fly away.
"There they are!" A soldier was the first to see the person who was hanged at the gate of the city as a hostage.
"Beware of cheating!" The quick-sighted comrade quickly pulled him back.
Everyone held their breath and stared at the opposite, but nothing seemed to happen.
"General Wei, what should we do next?"
Wei Yueyan made a "stop" gesture, and suddenly raised his eyebrows to look at the right lieutenant, Yang Zisu, who was following on the right.
"Lieutenant General Yang, what do you think?"
Yangzi was in his thirties, but he still looked like a young man in his early twenties. If it wasn't for his sensitive status, Wei Yueyan would have praised him without hesitation for his good skin.His expression was cold and hard, knowing that Wei Yueyan was attacking him, but he still responded without humility.
"The last general thinks that the enemy's purpose is to 'invite the king into the urn', so it is better to send two people to investigate first."
It is indeed a good way to sacrifice the few to preserve the many.
"What Lieutenant General Yang said is reasonable." Wei Yueyan thought deeply, "Then I will trouble Lieutenant General Yang to step forward and check."
Take the lead, don't you?
Yang Zisu pursed his lips, clasped fists at Wei Yueyan, and then stepped forward to investigate alone.
The people hanging at the gate of the city are old, weak, women and disabled, several of them are dying, and there are five or six of them with their heads hanging down, not sure if they are not breathing.When the soldiers of Daxia saw this scene, they couldn't hide their grief and indignation.In ancient times, when Zhang Xianzhong slaughtered the land of Shu, some angry people said: "There is even more sadness in the East Gate, so I forbeared to fly the kite to the girl."Although the southern border soldiers did what they did today, although they were not as brutal as others, how was it different from what they did?
