After crossing, I save the world by reading

Chapter 813
No one wants to bomb the city walls if they are not forced to.Zhou Mingxuan knew very well in his heart that if he bombed the city wall, he would be rejected by the people.

Why do you say that?
Although it was said that they wanted to defeat King Cheng and end the battle early, the common people would not understand.

They haven't experienced it, so they naturally don't understand that if it drags on for a long time, the other party will definitely find a way, and in the end it really won't even develop to use the people as a shield.

At that time, I had no choice but to kill, because it was impossible for them to compromise with King Cheng, and more innocent people would lose their lives.

However, the common people don't understand these things. They only know that when the city wall falls, their homes will be gone.

In the hearts of the people, only the city wall has a sense of security.

Moreover, they will spend a lot of manpower and material resources to repair in the later stage, which will become a reason for you to be scolded.

But Zhou Mingxuan didn't care, he had no regrets.

He would rather blow down the city wall than let more people die.

"General, the leader of the rebel army has been captured."

When Fuzi said this, Zhou Mingxuan looked up, his eyes were a little red, he didn't sleep well for two consecutive days, and his condition was not very good.

But the top priority is to meet these people and see if we can get useful news from them.

When everyone was brought up, everyone was trembling. They had heard of Zhou Mingxuan's name for a long time, and they naturally understood that this young general was not easy to deal with.

Therefore, everyone's expression is different. Some people look like they would rather die than surrender, and of course some people kneel down and beg for mercy.

Zhou Mingxuan looked at them, smiled faintly, and then said: "The emperor is kind, he told me before coming here, but any officials who voluntarily surrender will not be blamed."

When they heard this, the officials burst into tears, and one of them forced them to die, and their families would be hurt if they did not fight.

What about the other one?As long as you are willing to surrender, you will forget the past.

Under such a comparison, everyone naturally knew who to choose, so all the officials in the city fell to their knees on the ground.

"Your Majesty is merciful, General Mingjian, we really want to surrender, but they have arrested our family members and threatened them, so there is no way!"

Hearing such an explanation, Zhou Mingxuan nodded, and then asked the person looking at King Cheng, "What do you say?"

The man looked at Zhou Mingxuan with a sneer, and said, "What's there to say! I will never betray His Highness Prince Cheng."

Zhou Mingxuan nodded, and then asked Fuzi to take him down.

Everyone was very curious about how the generals would arrange for this person. After all, the other party was not as hard-spoken and had no intention of repentance.

But they didn't dare to ask. In this situation, they didn't dare to inquire about anything.

Soon, Zhou Mingxuan continued: "Although he didn't voluntarily surrender, he didn't fight to the end, so capital punishment is inevitable, and life is the most inevitable. I will let someone take you back to the capital and ask the emperor to forgive you."

The officials burst into tears when they heard that the death penalty was exempt.

To be honest, they really didn't expect that they could still be alive. After all, it was a crime of treason, so it's good to be alive.

As for continuing to be an official, I really dare not even think about it.

"Thank you General!"

Everyone apologized one after another, it was sincere, the whole family was able to save their lives, mainly due to Zhou Mingxuan.

One can tell at a glance that this general is benevolent and doesn't like to kill. If not, they will suffer.

They are likely to be pulled down before the next official who dares to resist sees the fate of betrayal!
In the final analysis, it will become cannon fodder, which is very poor.

Now that he can go back to the capital, he can plead for mercy, and naturally he can save his life. At most, he will lose his official position, which is very good.

No one expected that Zhou Mingxuan would gently pick it up and put it down again, which is really not easy.

Moreover, wherever the army went, there was no conscription or food collection, for fear of disturbing the normal life of the common people.

The officials can naturally understand such things, and they are very grateful in their hearts.

Of course, he was leaving again, and someone had to take care of the affairs in the city.

The prefect and some officials have been sent to the capital, so I will manage according to my official position and find officials who have not been forced by King Cheng to collude.

If he usually does not follow the rules, but now under special circumstances, he can only do so first.

Zhou Mingxuan left, but he arranged the affairs of the city properly.He also left more than 100 soldiers to help maintain order.

This approach made the officials very grateful, and the common people were less disgusted with Zhou Mingxuan.

When Ning Mo arrived, the officers and soldiers guarding the city were dumbfounded.

What's going on here?Didn't the army just pass by?How could the army come again!

"Who are you, what did you do here?!"

Hearing this, Deputy Commander Lin came out, and the banner of the Royal Forest Army was flying.

Everyone: ...the imperial conquest!
I haven't heard of it, is the emperor here?

Except for the emperor, who can command the Imperial Forest Army?Who has the qualifications to command?
Soon they got even more surprising news, Ning Mo is here, Princess An is here!

A group of people quickly gathered at the gate of the city. The officials looked at each other in blank dismay, but they also understood that the eldest princess could not be offended.

The identity of this princess is really special. She is not only the emperor's beloved daughter, but also Zhou Mingxuan's fiancée.

This week Mingxuan just fought a battle at the gate of the city, and everyone was still very impressed.

Here, how did you come here?Is there anything else going on here?

No matter what, the officials went to salute in front of the frame, and saw Ning Mo walking down, dressed in casual clothes.

"You have worked hard."

When Ning Mo said that, the officials hurriedly said they didn't dare, they were actually very ashamed, they failed to defend the city well, and even caused trouble to the emperor, how dare they say it was hard work?
"This is the duty of humble officials. How can the princess be in such a dangerous situation? Please return to the capital as soon as possible."

This is true, and of course it's not entirely for Ning Mo's safety, but I think she came here to make trouble.

Zhou Mingxuan is at war, how can he be distracted.

They also hoped that Zhou Mingxuan would put down the rebellion as soon as possible, so they naturally didn't want Ning Mo to disturb his mind.

"This princess is ordered by the emperor to assist General Zhou."

Hearing this, the officials couldn't believe it even more. Is the emperor confused?

Of course, they dare not say this, the emperor is really confused, and it is not their turn to speak.

"If the princess needs anything, the humble official should do her best."

Although they didn't want to, they came here on orders, so what could they do.

Ning Mo smiled, looking at these duplicity guys, she really put forward her request.

"The princess is not welcome, there are really some things here that need your help."

When Ning Mo said that, the officials had no choice but to know that the princess' request could not be refused.
