Jiang Tuantuan, Rouer, Jiang An and Jiang Li would go to the streets every day to comfort people and tell them not to be afraid.
Becoming citizens of our country will be treated fairly and justly, Jiang said. "You will still be able to maintain your current lives, but your nationality will change. We will become a more powerful country that can protect you from war."
The people actually didn’t care who was the king; they only cared about whether they could live a stable life. So after Jiang Tuantuan’s preaching, everyone’s hearts gradually calmed down.
Jiang An and Jiang Li were responsible for collecting information about the people in the city, taking back their original nationality, and issuing them a new one.
At the same time, other soldiers were sent along, but the results were disappointing. Many people simply closed their doors when they saw the soldiers.
But as soon as Jiang An and Jiang Li arrived, they were willing to open the door and exchange a few words. The treatment was completely different.
The soldiers said aggrievedly, is face really that important?
It turns out that it is indeed important.
When the people saw that Jiang An and Jiang Li were fair-skinned, handsome, and spoke in an elegant manner, they naturally wanted to communicate with them more.
Rou'er and Jiang Tuantuan's preaching went very smoothly. In order to appease the people, they distributed some food to each household. What they lacked most was food.
For a moment, the people stopped complaining, and the soldiers found that leaving these four people behind was the right choice.
The king of Changman was sitting among a group of women, drinking, when he saw that all the soldiers had retreated and Dongyi Kingdom had been lost. He was so angry that he kicked the rebel general in the stomach and cursed, "You useless thing! You can't even take this place!"
Then he stabbed him to death with an arrow. The women behind him were so scared that they all huddled together. They were all from Dongyi Kingdom.
The King of Changman turned his head and shouted, "Why are you panicking? Get out of here!"
The women quickly stood up and ran out.
After leaving the palace, a woman said, "Our country is gone!"
The remaining women all looked towards the direction of Dongyi Kingdom in despair.
"So what? Our king doesn't care about the lives of ordinary people like us. I'm just worried about what will happen to our relatives."
At this moment, the king of Dongyi Kingdom was kneeling in the hall with his hands and feet tied up. Sitting on the chair in the middle of the hall was Li Jingchen.
The king shouted, "That's my place, get out of here!"
The soldier next to him whipped him and said, "Tell me what I'm asking you, and you'll die a quick death."
"You just want to know our purpose, right? It's to invade your country, what else could it be?" he said, then he burst into laughter.
Li Jingchen shook his hands and looked at him impatiently.
Afterwards, the head of the King of Dongyi was hung on the city gate for all the people to see.
It hung for three days and three nights.
The king of Changman saw that the snow showed no sign of stopping, so he could not wait any longer and decided to go to the battlefield himself and lead his troops to fight.
Decided to launch a sneak attack.
In order to prevent this, Li Jingchen has sent people to guard in shifts day and night.
That night, they quietly came to the city wall, preparing for a surprise attack, but were discovered. After a head-on confrontation, they found that they were no match for the enemy.
The king of Changman State was anxious to discuss a plan with his subordinates.
One of them, named Hanba, said, "There is a river outside the city. The water there is shared by us and the enemy. That river is not our only source of water, but it is indeed the only source of water for the enemy army. Why don't we just poison it and kill them all?"
The king's eyes lit up. This was indeed a good idea. "But what about the people living near the city? They all drink water from that river."
Khanba said harshly, "War always requires the sacrifice of a small number of people. Even their death is a contribution to the country."
"Then why not just let them retreat?"
Khanba immediately said, "No, if we retreat on a large scale, it might arouse suspicion from the enemy, and that would be bad."
Finally, the king made up his mind and decided to do so.
That night, a team was sent out to chisel a hole in the ice and pour all the poison into it.
Of course, this matter did not escape the elf's eyes.
He immediately woke up Jiang Tuantuan and told her about it.
Jiang Tuantuan, who was half asleep, nodded after hearing this and fell asleep again. As soon as his head touched the pillow, he woke up immediately.
"What did you say? The rebels dumped poison into the river?"
"Yes, it's the river you share with the people on the other side of the city."
Jiang Tuantuan angrily slapped the bed, waking Li Jingchen up. "What? A sneak attack?"
"It's not a sneak attack. Oh no, it's a sneak attack."
"What happened, Tuantuan?"
"The other side threw poison into the river!"
What a shameless bunch of people. For the sake of victory, they don't care about the people in their city. The king of Changman Kingdom has such a cruel heart.
Li Jingchen didn't even bother to sleep. He put on his clothes and went out, informing the cook not to use the water there tomorrow.
Because the cooks go to the river to dig holes to get water before dawn, they must be notified in advance.
After giving the notice, I went back to sleep. When I woke up the next day, I spent the whole night thinking about whether I should tell the people living on the opposite side of the city not to drink the water from the river anymore.
Jiang Tuantuan said, "After all, their lives are at stake. When we conquer Changman Kingdom in the future, they are also our people. We can't just leave them alone, right?"
Li Jingchen told this matter to all the generals. Everyone thought it was a good opportunity to make the rebels mistakenly think that they had consumed the water from the river, let down their guard, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop.
"But those people will also be our country's people in the future." Among all the generals, only General Zheng supported Li Jingchen's decision.
Because these two are the highest generals, it is useless even if the people below have different opinions.
Several soldiers were immediately sent across the river to find the people living on the opposite side of the city.
After the soldiers left, the people all stayed at home and did not dare to go out.
So they knocked on every door. Luckily, half of the people chose to open the door. The soldiers then told them, "Your king has sent people to poison the river. Don't drink from it anymore."
But after saying this, the door will be ruthlessly closed, and only a few people will remain skeptical.
The people living on the outskirts of the city were unwilling to believe these generals at all, wondering how they could be so kind as to tell them something for no reason.
When the soldiers arrived at the last house on the edge of the city, they were shocked by the dilapidated place.
