"My military advisor, when is this, why do you still have time to drink tea?" As soon as he entered Jiang Shang's military tent, Ji Fa said anxiously.

Jiang Shang calmed down, picked up the wine on the table and took a sip, and said with a smile: "I don't know what the son is talking about? ”

"Don't worry, our army has already damaged 300,000, and if they continue to resist like this, our army will be exhausted. ”

Jiang Shang smiled: "Then we won't stop them, let them return to Chaoge, and I dare to conclude that the army of their slaves will soon be dispersed." ”

"Oh, how is this possible?" Ji Fa looked puzzled, but quickly laughed, he knew that Jiang Shang had already made up his mind. "Could it be that the military advisor has already made a plan?"

Jiang Shang stroked his snow-white beard and said with a smile: "The mountain people have their own clever plans, and I ask the son to wait for good news." ”

"Since the military advisors have already said so, this son will wait for a while. ”

..........

"What are you talking about? Ji Fa took the initiative to withdraw the encirclement and let go of our route back to Chaoge, how is this possible?" Bigan received a secret report from his henchman, his face was shocked, he never expected Ji Fa to take the initiative to withdraw the encirclement, this has to let the tiger return to the mountain!

"Yes, sir. This information is indeed true, Ji Fa's Chinese army camp has begun to move, and the encirclement loophole will be exposed at a later date. The henchman reported respectfully.

Seeing that his henchmen were so determined, Bigan did not doubt that he had him, and went to the king's tent to report to Di Xin.

"King Qiqi, good news, good news!" Bigan said excitedly: "King, that stupid boy from Ji Fa actually took the initiative to let go of our return to Chaoge. In just three days, we can return to the court, regroup, destroy the rebels, and restore the glory of the royal family. ”

Di Xin analyzed: "There must be a demon when things go wrong, since Ji Fa took the initiative to let go of our way back, there must be a conspiracy." These days, although Ji Fa has been repeatedly defeated by us, it has not reached the point of retreating. He must have a deeper plan!"

"So the king, are we advancing or retreating?" Bi Gan is also a general, and he has long been familiar with the art of war, and he can also see that Ji Fa has no good intentions. However, the decision lies with Di Xin, whether to advance or retreat, or it is up to Di Xin to decide.

The breeze was blowing, the moon was in the sky, and under the night, a few light blue fireflies flew out. If it weren't for the fact that it was now a matter of life and death, Di Xin would definitely calm down and enjoy the beautiful night.

"Advance, we must continue to move forward, no matter what hardships lie ahead, we must also do whatever it takes to enter Chaoge. At this time, Di Xin also abandoned stupid ideas such as peace talks, and prepared to fight against the water, defeat Ji Fa, and return to the helm of the country.

In this way, Di Xin took hundreds of thousands of slaves under his command and thousands of soldiers to prepare overnight, wanting to break out of the siege and enter Chaoge.

As the scout said, Ji Fa's Chinese army retreated for some reason, causing a big hole in the encirclement around Di Xin, causing them to escape and ascend to heaven. After escaping from the encirclement, he quickly whipped up his horse and went straight to the song city.

But at this time, the Chaoge City has long lost the scenery of thousands of people coming to the court in the past, and has completely become a lonely city.

"The king, the king is back. ”

"Look, everyone, the king is back, the king is back. "He didn't give up on us.

"It's really good that the king is alive, the king is still alive. ”

Seeing that Di Xin was still alive, the remaining people in the city sang and danced to celebrate the return of him and his soldiers. Most of these people were poor peasants and merchants, and when they saw Di Xin returning, they danced with their hands. It can also be seen from the side that Di Xin is indeed very appealing and cohesive.

This is natural, because Di Xin reformed the selection policy and was sympathetic to the people's feelings, and the people of Chaoge revered him very much. Although they were surrounded by Xiqi, no one surrendered lightly, and they believed that Di Xin had come back to save them. However, the ministers of Chaoge did not think so, they had already defected to the rebels at a very early age and fled completely.

The mood of the slaves is not so good, and they are not at all stable these days. Once upon a time, when they were slaves, they never had to think about where they were going. But now, because they have become free people, they have to face some hardships that they should not have experienced.

"Brother, where do you think we're going to live?"

"I don't know, since we have been pardoned as slaves, there is no way to go to the cowshed. We seem to have become the king's soldiers, so we should live in the barracks, right?"

"Barracks? Is it a soldier? I don't want to be a soldier. ”

Once in the city, the slaves began to discuss what to do in the future, and each had their own ideas.

"Yes, I really don't want to fight anymore, I fight on the battlefield every day, where is it comfortable to be a slave? As a slave, as long as I work with my master, I can have clothes to wear, food to eat, and I can be idle and bask in the sun, how good. ”

"But now, we have become free men, we have regained our free bodies, and we will have to acquire everything on our own. I still have to fight on the battlefield, shed blood and tears, and even my good brothers have already died. ”

At this moment, a young slave stepped forward and said, "Do you know what? Xiqi's army has already surrounded Chaoge City, and it will soon be breached. When the time comes, Xiqi's army will definitely kill us all. ”

"Huh, what should I do?"

"What should we do? We don't want to fight anymore, it's terrible to fight, and we have to sacrifice our lives. ”

The other slaves were frightened and hurriedly asked.

The young man looked at the frightened crowd as if he were looking at a flock of sheep in chaos. I only heard him say: "Yes, I don't want to fight anymore, the king said that the free man, this is nothing good." ”

"But I've heard that slaves in Xiqi live a stable life and even have meat to eat. He added.

"What, their slaves in Xiqi, will they still have meat to eat? It is a blessing to be a slave with them. A slave sighed with heartfelt emotion.

"yes, that's good, what a happy life. The other slave chimed in.

And the young man, who was undercover among the slaves, was puzzled, and he asked loudly: "Brothers, don't listen to his rumors to confuse the people, what's so good about being slaves, the king has already pardoned us as free men, why go back to the past?"

The young slave smiled and asked, "What's so good about being a slave? Hehe, is it good to be a free man? Look at it, we have become free people, and we still need to fight, and we watch our brothers and sisters die day by day, is this what you call good?"

He's right. ”

"Yes, how good it is to be a slave, what a free man. ”

"I see, it's better to be a slave in Xiqi, and their slaves there can still be late meat. ”

Finally hearing this say, the young slave smiled at the success of the conspiracy. "yes, it's good to be a slave. I also heard that the son of Xiqi is kind-hearted and willing to accept us, as long as we go out of the city and surrender. ”

He pointed to the young man's nose and rebuked loudly: "I have long found out that you are wrong, you are indeed Xiqi's spy! You thief, you dare to bewitch the people here and try to deceive everyone, you really deserve to die!"

"Hehe, how can it be called deception?" the young slave walked up to the other slaves and said loudly, "Everyone has seen it, right? This man is a traitor, and he really deserves to die if he wants everyone to become slaves." What's so good about a free man, everyone has felt the pain of a free man, can a free man be compared to being a slave?"

The young man was so angry that he couldn't speak, he pointed at the young slave hatefully, gritted his teeth and said, "You, you're ...... Nonsense!"

"Hehehe, okay, in that case, let's let everyone choose. The young slave sneered, "I'd like to see how many slaves are stupid enough to want to be freemen." ”

"Let's stand in line, if you want to be a slave, follow me tonight, and we will go to the Xiqi camp. If you don't want to be a slave, stay and die. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the slaves were divided into groups, and out of the youth, none of them wanted to stay here as a free man.

........

"Your Majesty, do you think we can win this battle?" asked Bigan.

Di Xin's originally black hair actually appeared some gray hair, and what happened in the past few days really worried him. "Of course, we will definitely be able to win, because behind us, there is a strong collective - the slaves. They have been in bondage for a long time, and they definitely want to be free, and I am the one who liberates them. Moreover, I am the only one in the whole world who has announced the abolition of slavery. We will win this battle!"

"Freedom, what a wonderful word, it's something that everyone dreams of. Slaves, they will fight to the death for it. ”

"What the king said is reasonable, but his subordinates are too worried. Bigan quickly knelt on the ground and apologized.

Yes, how can anyone not like freedom? Freedom, but what does everyone yearn for! What is the difference between a person who does not have freedom and a marionette?

At this moment, the young slave came to the tent and reported: "King Qiqi, slaves, slaves, slaves, they have fled, and they have all fled to the camp of Xiqi. ”

Thinking that he had misheard, he stood up violently, grabbed the young slave's clothes, and shouted, "What did you say? The slaves ran away? How could they run away? I helped them get rid of their slave status and make them a free, free man!"

The young slave wanted to speak and stopped, wanted to say but did not dare to speak, but he finally said hesitantly: "It is such a king, they, they say, the life of a free man is really not suitable for them. Therefore, they want to take refuge in Xiqi and continue to be ........"

"What do you want to be, you say!" shouted Bigan, at this time, the army of slaves was a lifesaver, and if he lost them, Di Xin would definitely be defeated.

"They, they don't want to be a free man, they want to continue to be in Xiqi, to be a slave. Eventually, the young slave spoke up.
