I really don't want to be a traitor

Chaoge Palace.

"what sound?"

"Who's singing?"

The scene of the nine-colored deer being beheaded in the sky deeply shocked Bai Rong's mind.

She was frightened and at a loss when she heard singing coming from three directions in Chaoge City.

The melody is sad, sad, and full of nostalgia.

"What's going on?!" Bai Rong screamed: "Who is singing in the city? It disturbs the morale of the army. Get arrested by me and behead him in public!"

A female general came to report: "Holy Lord Bai, it's not our soldiers who are singing songs, it's the enemy troops outside the city who are singing."

Bai Rong was stunned when she heard this.

"You said that the Chu army was not attacking the city, but they were singing?"

"Yes!"

The female general nodded.

"Hahahahaha!"

Bai Rong laughed loudly, and the female general was puzzled by her laughter.

"The Chu army is nothing more than this!"

"They found that our defense is tight and Chaoge City is impeccable, so they can only sing to relieve their boredom? Ridiculous! How ridiculous!"

Bai Rong laughed again.

But she immediately noticed that the female general was looking at her with a strange expression, as if she didn't agree with what she just said.

Bai Rong looked slightly embarrassed.

"how?"

"Are you wrong?"

This female general is a fierce general who answers all questions and has an upright personality.

She nodded and said: "The Art of War says, the first step is to attack the enemy with the enemy, then the second step is to attack the enemy, then the second step is to attack the city. The second step is to attack the heart, then attack the city. …”

Bai Rong waved her hand impatiently: "What do you mean? Can you say something that I can understand?"

The female general frowned and looked at Bai Rong with a look of disdain in her eyes.

"What the general means is that singing outside the city may be the enemy's ultimate strategy. After all, our army is isolated and helpless in defending the city, and the defense is not impeccable."

"What strategy?" Bai Rong asked.

"This……"

The female general looked embarrassed.

She wasn't the roundworm in Fan Li's belly, so how could she know what he was thinking?

The city is surrounded on all sides and besieged on three sides.

Fan Li's strategy soon became clear.

"Oh no!"

"Hundreds of soldiers secretly fled outside the city and surrendered to the Chu army!"

When the news reached the palace, Bai Rong's face turned green.

So far, the two armies of Daci and Dachu have faced each other, but they have not yet fought with real swords and guns.

The war hasn't started yet, are we the first to have deserters?

"Why!?" Bai Rong said in shock: "There are just people singing outside the city. Why do they want to surrender?"

"Is this...probably homesickness?" the female general replied.

Bai Rong didn't believe it.

"Homesick?"

"If the Chu State was better than Daci, why would they leave their homes and join Daci in the first place?"

Bai Rong never gave the female general a good look, and she learned her lesson.

She didn't say a single word about things like 'this time is also that time', 'the imperial city of Daci was besieged', 'the sacred beast that protects the country was beheaded', 'people's hearts are floating' and so on.

Seeing that she remained silent, Bai Rong added, "Using singing to shake the morale of the army? I don't believe it. Look at you, aren't you able to stay here and continue to be loyal to Daci?"

The female general couldn't hold it in anymore and whispered: "Holy Lord Bai, the last general is from the Ming Dynasty."

This answer made Bai Rong feel embarrassed again.

At this time, outside Chaoge City. More than a hundred Chu women came to Fan Li. They looked nervous and said, "We don't want to fight. Can we go home?"

"can!"

Fan Li agreed almost without hesitation.

The ladies of Chu breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. They were about to say a few words of thanks to Duke Jin, but Fan Li had already passed by them on horseback.

Fan Li was not even interested in taking a second look at these Chu girls.

At the beginning, when Daci founded the country, Yaoguang's prestige was unparalleled.

How many people were bewitched by Yaoguang and abandoned their homes and countries to seek refuge with Daci?
These people are extreme egoists. Not to mention the feelings of family and country, even family and love can be discarded like worn-out shoes.

Today they were re-accepted. Firstly, seeing that most of these people came from aristocratic families, if they were all killed, it would be difficult to account for the Chu aristocratic families.

Secondly, it is also to minimize the casualties of the garrison and avoid losing elite troops in meaningless battles.

At this moment, Fan Li deeply understood the last resort of the superior.

He wanted to be arrogant, but his position forced him to be patient and even pretend to be tolerant or even expectant.

Unknowingly, Fan Li was only twenty or thirty feet closer to the city gate.

At this distance, practitioners who are good at long-range attacks can already attack Fan Li.

"Second brother, be careful!" Fan Chun couldn't help shouting.

Fan Li didn't look back, he just waved his hand behind him, indicating to Fan Chun and the other troops that they didn't need to worry and didn't need to follow him.

At this time, the Daci soldiers on the city wall were holding their breath nervously.

They knew that the majestic-looking man at the foot of the city was the real commander-in-chief of the Chu garrison, Jin Gong Fan Li.

What does he want to do?
Aren't you afraid of being killed at such a distance?

Or is he powerful enough to break through the tightly defended Chaoge City Wall on his own?
"Fellow Chu countrymen in the city, I am Fan Li, you should have heard my name!"

Fan Li suddenly spoke, and his words of 'compatriot' actually made the solemn murderous look on the city wall fade a bit.

The female soldiers and generals from Chu State looked at Fan Li much softer.

"Compatriots!"

"I'm here today to take you home."

Come back home?

Another kind word, the eyes of the Chu girls instantly turned red.

If on a normal day, when Mercy was at its peak, Fan Li would probably only provoke a burst of ridicule and ridicule if he dared to flirt with them.

But now, with heavy troops surrounding the city, that is another matter.

Fan Li extended an olive branch of peace to the Chu girls, and they wished they could take it immediately!
"go home!"

"Do you see the picture reflected in the celestial mirror? Daci is already in a state of crisis."

"go home!"

"In these years since you left home, your parents and relatives have been praying for you day and night."

"Once upon a time, you chose Daci, but Dachu never gave up on you."

"The door of Chu State is still open for you, and the candlesticks at home are still lit for you."

"As long as you put down your weapons and step out of this city wall, everything can go back to the past."

"I, Duke Fan Li of Jin, on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of Chu and on behalf of your parents, personally welcome you home!"

As soon as Fan Li finished speaking, he heard a woman crying from the city wall.

More than one person.

There were cries one after another, and some people even dropped their weapons.

With Chu Ge as the foreshadowing, Fan Li's speech was very effective.

But at the same time, he also found that there were still many compassionate soldiers with numb expressions, and they even stared warily at those robes who made sounds of pain.

Fan Li understood that they came from outside Chu, from Wei, Han, Wu or Ming Dynasty.

These people will not be moved by their speech, but may become resentful.

The Chu girls can surrender, but what about them?

Stay and defend the city and wait to be destroyed together with Daci?
Worrying not about scarcity but about inequality is a big taboo.

Fortunately, Fan Li was well prepared. He took out a letter and read aloud: "I have been entrusted by the emperors of Han, Wei, and Wu to persuade the daughters of noble families from all countries to return..."

I will have more time from Monday to Thursday next week, so I apologize to everyone who is striving for more compensation these two days.
