Chapter 339 Those who obey me prosper, those who oppose me perish.
Qin Jinzhi drew her bow again and aimed at Yang Shao.
Without the slightest hesitation, he shot at Yang Shao.
Yang Shao swung his sword and cut the arrow shaft in half.
Qin Jinzhi did not answer his question, but her actions spoke volumes.
Yang Shao glared angrily at Qin Jinzhi.
"I kindly took you brothers in, yet you dared to dream of seizing Guanzhong! You are truly heartless and treacherous! Today, I will cleanse Qin Ye's household!"
Qin Jinzhi laughed loudly from the city wall, "General Yang, are you still waiting for those tens of thousands of troops you left outside the city?"
Yang Shao was taken aback, then his face darkened.
Not all of the Yang family's troops were in the military camp.
Instead, they were separated.
Apart from the soldiers guarding the inner city and patrolling the outer city.
The remaining soldiers were divided into three groups.
Some remained in the military camp.
A portion of them were secretly arranged by Yang Xian outside the capital.
Some are hidden around Guanzhong.
They can send intelligence to Guanzhong at any time and provide support to Guanzhong at any time.
Huo Qing didn't attend the banquet prepared by Yang Shao that day because he went to investigate the Yang family's army.
These days, Qin Jinzhi and Huo Qing have been strolling around the city, not to mislead Yang Shao.
Instead, it is based on the population of Guanzhong and the degree of dispersion of the residents.
The number of city defenses is calculated based on how many soldiers the Yang family will have.
The news that Tongqing and Yuanfei brought back these days all proves this.
The military forces that the Yang family has built up are far more than what is on the surface.
Since Chen Chi disappeared without a trace in Guanzhong last time...
In addition, there was the information provided by Luoshui.
Qin Jinzhi was already on her guard.
Huo Qing was not one of those useless people in the capital who were recommended by their families to join the Imperial Guard.
He was a young general who truly grew up on the battlefield and fought his way up.
In just three days, he had thoroughly grasped the situation of the Yang family army.
Qin Jinzhi waited for Yang Shao at the city gate, while Huo Qing led his men to occupy the inner city.
She smiled and said, "I guess they are now blocked in the burial ground you chose for my ten thousand soldiers."
Yang Shao was furious. "So you knew all along!"
Qin Jinzhi drew her bow again. "General Yang, why don't you guess how many of your soldiers those ambushes you've set up will kill?"
Her arrows missed every time, allowing Yang Shao to dodge them with narrow escapes.
Yang Shao was furious. He had been so thoroughly fooled by a junior!
But what did Qin Jinzhi mean by what she just said?
The Yang family's army will not take that ambush route through that grove of trees!
But the reinforcements still hadn't arrived. Had they really fallen into an ambush?
Qin Jinzhi said with a smile, "General Yang, how can you hide important things in the study?"
Yang Shao suddenly looked at Qin Jinzhi, "You stole the military tally!"
Qin Jinzhi took out the Yang family's military tally from her bosom.
You mean this?
Qin Jinzhi exerted force, and the military token made of refined iron instantly turned into a block of iron.
She ordered the discarded military tally to be thrown off the city wall.
"Return it to General Yang!"
That day, Qin Jinzhi not only stole the city defense map.
Although the mechanisms in the room were complex, since Qin Jinzhi had seen the whole picture, she could naturally find all the hidden boxes in the study.
Her mechanical skills were just not as good as those of a professional.
But she can still crack this kind of mechanism.
In an instant, Yang Shao understood all the doubts he had had over the past few days.
All the unusual occurrences in the city over the past few days have now been explained.
He not only stole the military tally, but also the city defense map!
That's why they were able to occupy the inner city so easily!
Qin Jinzhi laughed and said, "General Yang, you're not the only smart person in this world."
With a wave of her hand, the archers on the city wall unleashed a volley of arrows.
Even the bows and arrows they used were just seized from the soldiers at the city gate.
Yang Shao quickly sought a hiding place to dodge.
However, his personal guards were still shot and killed one after another.
Yang Shao led the remaining men into the nearby woods in a disheveled state.
Qin Jinzhi's preparations caught him completely off guard.
Yang Shao's eyes were filled with ruthlessness.
Does he really think he can take Guanzhong this way?
Yang Shao took a whistle out of his pocket.
The sharp sound quickly carried into the city.
Soon, whistles sounded one after another throughout the city.
The whistles blared in unison.
Yang Shao roared, "Two bastards dare to try and seize my Guanzhong! Every person in Guanzhong is a soldier! You just wait to be torn to pieces!"
Qin Jinzhi nodded thoughtfully.
The whistles continued to sound.
However, no one from the city came out to help for a long time.
Qin Jinzhi curled one corner of her mouth.
"General Yang, it seems that your soldiers in Guanzhong are somewhat afraid of battle."
Yang Shao frowned anxiously as he looked at the empty city gate.
Qin Jinzhi sat down on the city wall as if she was bored.
"The water source thirty miles outside the city is connected to the moat, and the drinking water of the people in the city all depend on this source."
I have a medicine in my hand; just one drop is enough to contaminate the entire water source. Unfortunately, my hand was a little shaky, and the medicine bottle fell in.
The people in the city now probably don't even have the strength to get up.
Yang Shao couldn't believe his ears. "You beast! You actually poisoned the people in the city!"
The guards behind Qin Jinzhi were also somewhat surprised.
This little princess is indeed ruthless and has extraordinary methods.
They actually poisoned the water source; are they planning to massacre the entire city?
Qin Jinzhi bent one leg and put one arm on it.
"General Yang, if the Yang family surrenders and you commit suicide to atone for your sins, I will release the people of this city."
Qin Jinzhi was now completely exposed to everyone's view.
Extremely arrogant.
After not hearing Yang Shao's voice for a while, Qin Jinzhi began to laugh wildly.
“Look, your general has abandoned you.”
Suddenly, dozens of city dwellers appeared inside the city walls.
"General, save us!"
"We don't want to die!"
"General! Help!"
They were brought in by the guards and listened to Qin Jinzhi and Yang Shao's conversation.
Yang Shao gritted his teeth, "This is all a trick by the thieves! I will definitely save you!"
Qin Jinzhi said with a smile, "Good, General Yang. If you show yourself now, I will release these people. Otherwise, I will kill one civilian for every number I count."
"General, save me!"
"Help us!"
"We don't want our general to die!"
Qin Jinzhi hugged her bent leg and lazily called out:
"one!"
"ah!!!"
Yang Shao was surprised that Qin Jinzhi acted so swiftly.
He was not given any chance to react.
The Yang family has lived in Guanzhong for so many years.
The people of Guanzhong were trained to be soldiers.
It could be said that the Yang family were local tyrants in Guanzhong.
I never expected the city to be breached so easily.
Qin Jinzhi continued shouting from the city wall:
"two!"
Another civilian was stabbed to death on the city wall.
She looked at Yang Shao, who was hiding in the woods and refusing to come out, with a mocking expression on her face.
The so-called army of the Yang family may have resembled an army in the early days of the founding of the country.
But back then, they were only a supporting force; the main force was still the army led by His Majesty and her grandfather.
On the battlefield, the victor reigns supreme. Any underhanded or dangerous trick is a good trick as long as it leads to victory.
The Yang family has lived a life of luxury in Guanzhong for so many years.
The soldiers under the Yang family's command have never even seen a proper battlefield.
Not to mention the people in the city.
With Qin Jinzhi's three cries, three civilians died on the city wall.
Qin Jinzhi ordered her men to throw the three corpses off the city wall.
She smiled and addressed the remaining people:
“Go back and tell the people in the city.”
Those who obey me will prosper, those who oppose me will perish!
Your general will not save you.
