Chapter 226: Princess Yun or Lady Yu Xiang?
His princess?
Who is his princess!
Shen Qing's brows furrowed suddenly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a trace of arc without temperature.
Liu Zhao's face was also very ugly.
He almost decided that Shen Qing was Mrs. Yu Xiang.
Now this cool King Yun jumped out and said that Mrs. Yu Xiang was his princess, which was simply slapping Yu Xiang and their faces!
Although Shen Qing was a little surprised by what Mu Ren did, she understood his intentions almost immediately, and couldn't help but sneer, "This guy is smart, not many people in the world know that Mrs. Yu Xiang is in Xizhou at this time, if he says that he came to Xizhou for someone else's wife like this, he will only have a ridiculous reputation, and the soldiers under him will not obey him."
However, if he said that he wanted to return his own princess, this reason was too good.
The princess of his own prince was actually detained by the generals of the enemy country, which was not only provoking their prince, but also looked down on the Daliang royal family!
All of a sudden, this inexplicable war has escalated to a contradiction between countries.
Song Xingzhi also listened to Liu Zhao's analysis of the pros and cons on the way here, and couldn't help gritting his teeth and saying, "However, Miss Shen is not his princess at all! Just tell the fact that Miss Shen is Mrs. Yu Xiang......
Shen Qing said lightly, "Do you think that King Yun didn't take this situation into account? It could have been even worse if my identity had been revealed."
Song Xingzhi was slightly stunned and said, "Why?"
Shen Qing didn't answer Song Xingzhi's question, looked at Liu Zhao and said, "General Liu has counted, how many people are still left in Xizhou today?"
Liu Zhao was stunned for a moment and said, "If you don't count the number of defenders, the original population of Xizhou was 60,000, although after the war began, many people left, but now there are at least more than half of the people who remain in Xizhou."
Half of the population is 30,000.
Xizhou is a border state town, and many people are also relatives of the border guards, so they will not leave easily.
Shen Qing chuckled suddenly, with a little coldness and helplessness, and said, "No matter who it is, they won't like a war for no reason, if they know that this war doesn't have to start, and it's only because I, Yu Xiang's wife, am in Xizhou, that I have attracted so many Da Liang soldiers, I will only become the target of everyone's resentment."
Then, guess what they'll do?"
After all, now, the imperial court's characterization of her and Yu Jiuqing as anti-thieves is even more hyped, and now this troubled scene is caused by her and Yu Jiuqing.
No matter how lofty her and Yu Jiuqing's previous image in the hearts of the common people was, they would also be somewhat affected by these statements propagated by the imperial court.
To put it simply, questioning and resenting her and Yu Jiuqing now is the most politically correct thing in Daqi.
When Song Xingzhi heard Shen Qing's words, his body stiffened suddenly, and he subconsciously said, "When the time comes, they will ask General Liu to hand you over and quell this war!"
The corners of Shen Qing's mouth raised again, but his eyes became colder, and he said lightly, "What King Yun is fighting with us this time is psychological warfare. Regardless of whether my identity is revealed to the world or not, the people will demand that General Liu hand me over and put an end to this unnecessary war!
Of course, General Liu can not be handed over, but in this way, General Liu's identity as Yu Xiang's party will be exposed, and he will be resented and blamed by all the people of Xizhou!
What's more, it may even be *** among the defenders!"
Liu Zhao also thought of this, and kept a calm face and did not speak.
Although the generals of the defenders here are basically Yu Xiang's people, many low-level soldiers are still kept in the dark, and they still think that they are fighting for the Great Qi court.
Although Liu Zhao was confident that he could pacify most of the soldiers, among the 50,000 defenders, only a small group of people made trouble, which was enough to cause a huge disaster!
Now when the Daliang army is stationed outside Xizhou City, no one dares to take this risk.
Miss Shen is right, this Cloud King, is playing psychology with them!
Just when a few people unconsciously fell silent
Suddenly, a soldier hurriedly came in from outside, knelt down on one knee and said anxiously, "Tell the general! The General's Mansion came from outside...... Many people came! are all asking the general if he has detained the princess of King Da Liangyun!
Not only outside the general's mansion, but also outside the barracks was full of people! They are all saying that if the general really detains Princess Yun, please return Princess Yun to King Yun immediately and avoid this disaster in Xizhou!"
The faces of several people changed.
It's so soon!
Song Xingzhi couldn't help but get anxious, "What should I do! Miss Shen must not hand it over! Otherwise, we'll pretend to be stupid, as long as we bite the princess of Yun who is not in our hands......
Shen Qing couldn't help but glance at Song Xing, "King Yun has set up the game, how can you not jump into it?"
I said that he was going to fight psychological warfare this time, and you think psychological warfare means that he put his army in front of the gate of Xizhou and didn't have to do anything?"
Song Xing was stunned, he was about to go crazy, why did these people have so many twists and turns? You can't be a simple person?!
"What else would he do?"
Shen Qing said lightly: "Now the people in Xizhou City are the sword of King Yun, if I were King Yun, I would definitely find a way to persecute the people of Xizhou to make them sharper knives and work harder for themselves.
Therefore, King Yun will not just wait for General Liu to give him away, he will definitely launch an offensive, and the offensive will come very intensively."
Liu Zhao sighed secretly and confirmed Shen Qing's words, "This morning, before dawn, King Yun launched the first wave of siege battles, but this time there were not many of them, and we were fully prepared, so we quickly repelled them."
The Daliang army only came to the outside of Xizhou City in the early morning, but I was afraid that it had just formed a camp, so it couldn't wait to send people to attack the city.
Song Xingzhi also gradually kept up with their thinking, opened his mouth, and said, "Damn, if this kind of offensive is repeated a few more times, even if it is repelled by our people every time, it is enough to make people have a mentality!"
Where can the people in the city stand it, in the end, they will only be driven by fear and further force Brother Liu to hand them over!"
After he finished speaking, seeing that Shen Qing was still calm and breezy, he couldn't help but be anxious and puzzled, "Miss Shen, how can you still be so leisurely, aren't you afraid?"
After all, she is the one involved!
"What's the use of being afraid at this time?"
Shen Qing raised his lips helplessly, but a pair of beautiful apricot eyes were glowing with cold light, and suddenly dipped the fingers of his right hand in tea, and wrote a second on the table, saying, "He wants to play psychological warfare, and we can only accompany him."
I guess that in the first two days, the offensive of the Daliang army will be very intensive, but it will not be too difficult to deal with, and their purpose is only to put pressure on the people in the city.
But if two days later, General Liu has no intention of handing over people, King Yun will definitely find a way to cause casualties on our side, and the more the better, the people at this time will probably be very angry, and even clash with the defenders of Xizhou.
Whoever can survive to the end will win the war."
Shen Qing suddenly stopped his fingers writing and drawing, raised his eyes to look at Liu Zhao and said, "General Liu, I don't know if I can go up to the city wall to watch the battle in person?"
