Silk silk (bó), not only a precious material for making clothes, but also a writing medium popular among the middle and upper class aristocrats since the Spring and Autumn Period, played a substitute role before the invention of paper.

Writing on silk is called silk book.

When a large number of silk books were shot into the city, it immediately caused a commotion.

"Wang Jian old thief, you are so shameless!"

Qin Wuji opened a piece of silk silk, just glanced at it, and his face changed greatly.

He hurriedly ordered the soldiers and soldiers in the city to collect the silk books, and asked his guards to collect these things and burn them, but it was too late at this moment.

Benefiting from the preciousness of silk silk, whether it is a civilian slave or a soldier, as long as they see these things at the first glance, they will instinctively pick them up.

Among these people, there are always literate people.

"It is said on the silk that those who descend will not be killed, otherwise the day the city is broken, it will be slaughtered."

"General Qin said before that the people who were captured in the Battle of Yishui were all beheaded by the Qin army for military merits, but the people who wrote these were those captured countrymen, and it seems that none of them were killed by the Qin army."

"Yes, I will tell you quietly, when I was guarding the city this morning, I saw those captured countrymen shouting in front of the city, saying that they had food and drink in the Qin camp, and that as long as we surrendered, we could avoid death."

"Really? No wonder the Qin army did not attack today, and the general did not let us go up to the city wall. ”

"You said we were going to surrender......

All kinds of discussions resounded in the city, one by ten, ten by hundred, especially when many people learned that their father, brother and son who they thought had died had not been beheaded by the Qin army, and their original firm will to resist weakened at once.

For ordinary Yan people, they are not like those public nobles, they still have to worry about what temples and shrines, all they want is stuttering, as long as they can survive, it will be the same for any king to rule.

Besides, their Yan State did not border the Qin State before, and the main ones who had enmity were the Zhao State and the Qi State.

The people of Yan will not have an irresolvable hatred for Qin like the Zhao people.

Even because Yan Dan sent Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin in the name of seeking peace, he lost his righteousness, making it natural for Qin to attack Yan.

To a certain extent, Qin's attack on Yan is not called aggression, but revenge.

Before, it was mainly because Qin Wuji publicized that the Qin army was brutal and bloodthirsty, and killed all the soldiers in the Battle of Yishui, if Wuyang was breached, the city would definitely be slaughtered, which made the Yan people in the city very afraid, coupled with the hatred of relatives being killed, they could only follow Qin Wuji to the end and desperately resist the Qin army.

Now the Qin army has indicated through the silk book that those who surrender will not be killed, and the captives shouting around the city wall have made the people in the city, and even the soldiers in the army, think differently.

In the city, in addition to the soldiers and leaders, there is another class that is most affected by silk books.

A great family with a long heritage, a rich man with a huge amount of money and slaves.

They are in the upper echelons of the city, and their families are big. In the eyes of these people, there is no concept of loyalty and patriotism, and some are just preserving the family wealth. They were afraid of Qin's brutal reputation, and contributed money and strength to follow Qin Wuji to resist.

Now, Wang Qian, the general of the Qin State, has made it clear through a silk letter that as long as they surrender, these big clans and rich people can all keep their original wealth, money and land, and not take a penny.

Is there still a suspense of choice?

The Qin army outside the city did not attack the city for two consecutive days, they just kept shooting silk books full of various surrender policies into the city, and at the same time let those prisoners shout around the city wall, one after another.

Wuyang City, which was originally as solid as a rock, was split from within.

"Damn, arrest all the people of the Rong clan and the Qi clan."

Qin Wuji slapped his palm on the desk with a fierce palm, and he was furious.

Just now, he had received a report that the people of several major clans in the city were actually colluding with each other, and they had plans to respond to the Qin army.

The adjutant general stubbornly said: "General, these people are all heroes in the city. In particular, the Rong family is the descendant of the former Gaoyang Jun Rong (fén), with hundreds of slaves and tens of millions of money, and is quite powerful in the city. ”

Qin Wuji's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Change? Even if they don't catch it, they will change. Arrest them first, and put all the slaves in their house into the ranks, and if there is any change, they will be killed. ”

Seeing that Qin Wuji had made up his mind, the deputy general had nothing to say, so he could only take the order to retreat.

Seeing his subordinates retreating, Qin Wuji let out a long sigh.

He is not stupid, he knows that the Yan Kingdom is now in danger, and with the combat effectiveness shown by the Qin army in the Battle of Yishui, destroying Yan is already a sure thing.

But everyone can descend, but he Qin Wuji can't descend.

Qin Kai, the first monarch, opened up Liaodong for the Yan State, and was known to the world as a famous general of the Yan State, if he surrendered, the reputation of the Qin clan would be ruined.

What's more, among his sons and nephews, Qin Wuyang went to assassinate Qin and died halfway through. Qin Heng sacrificed his life to be a stand-in for Qin Wuji, so that he could escape from Yishui.

The juniors of the Qin family still sacrificed their lives for the country, how could he surrender to Wang Jian and the old thief, how could he surrender to Wang Jian and the old thief, it was absolutely impossible!

"Suppress those big clans first, as long as they don't take the lead, the rest of the people don't have a leader, and they don't dare to resist if they want to."

Qin Wuji was thinking in his heart how to use Wuyang City to continue to drag down the Qin army.

But the changes in the city happened faster than he thought, and the fuse was the Rong clan he ordered to capture.

In the Rong family's mansion, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy stood with his head held high with a sharp sword in his hand.

In his hand, the iron sword was dripping with blood, and the corpse of the Yan soldier was lying at his feet. Opposite him were Rong slaves who looked frightened or frightened.

"The lord has never done anything to oppress or humiliate us. His actions can be called a righteous man in Wuyang City, and the second and third sons have received the great favor of the lord, what will they repay? Today, Yan will arrest my lord and his family, and I am afraid that something bad will happen. Now, it's time for us to give up our lives! ”

"What's more, that Yan will be cruel and tyrannical, and he wants to put us on the city wall to fight with the Qin people, this is a mortal thing!"

"Whether it is to repay the favor of the lord or for the life and future of the second and third sons, please follow me Luán to raise an incident today, rescue the lord, and at the same time call on the people in the city who want to surrender to the Qin army, so that this Wuyang will change hands!"

The young man Luan Bu was impassioned, and as his words fell, the slaves became angry.

"I am willing to listen to Luanjun's orders!"

The treasury of the Rong clan was opened, and the slaves and servants raised in the mansion, under the leadership of Luan Bu, took the spears of the halberd and rushed out of the mansion with a roar.

The flames began to ignite.

Those people in Wuyang City who had already had the intention of surrendering heard the sound of fighting everywhere in the city, and knew that someone had taken the lead.

In an instant, the spark burned brightly.

The impregnable city of Wuyang burst from within.
