Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

The soldiers defending the city looked at the huge army and felt so nervous that they could hardly breathe.

The name of Ning Zhiwei, the commander-in-chief of the Ning Family Army, has spread throughout the Jin Kingdom and is everywhere. Some people hate her to the core, some worship her, and some want to kill her.

But one thing is common: no army wants to confront her head-on.

She has too many methods, too many tricks, and too strong fighting ability.

"General, what should I do?"

The commander-in-chief defending the city had a gloomy face. He never expected that Ning Zhiwei would lead his troops to attack Yunzhou City at night.

"She is tearing up the ceasefire agreement between the two countries and restarting the war. She will be despised by the world."

He is also a member of the royal family, and his father died at the hands of Ning Zhiwei. With family feud and national hatred in front of him, how could he be willing to surrender?

A general said weakly, "She is the founding emperor of the Yong Dynasty. Why should she abide by the agreement signed between the Qi Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty?"

Generals:...

That makes sense, but don't say it next time.

Ning Zhiwei's cold voice sounded, "I swear in the name of the Emperor of Yong that as long as you surrender, I will not kill prisoners of war, nor massacre the city. I will treat everyone equally. As long as they are citizens of Yong Dynasty, I will work hard to ensure that everyone has enough food and clothing, and the children have books to read. This is my promise."

Every word touched everyone's heart, asking them to voluntarily surrender the city and incorporate it into the territory of Yong State.

For the people, it doesn’t matter who is the emperor. As long as he can let them live a good life, he is a good emperor.

However, for the powerful, a new emperor has new ministers. When the king changes, the power layer must be purged and reshuffled.

Those who are used to being high and mighty cannot bear the feeling of losing their power.

The commander could not help but get anxious, "Shut up, if you want to fight, just fight, stop talking nonsense."

The destructive power of the four words "have enough food and warm clothing" is too strong. Isn't this what people have been seeking since ancient times?

The upper class of the Jin Dynasty lived an extremely luxurious life, but the people below did not have an easy life, and many people starved to death every year.

Ning Zhiwei let go of his hand, and the arrow flew off the string, flying as fast as lightning and breaking through the air like a meteor, hitting the flag accurately. With a click, the flagpole fell down.

The Jin soldiers all changed their expressions. The military flag was a spiritual symbol, and she actually shot it down with an arrow. This was a provocation!

But no one dared to say anything.

Ning Zhiwei shouted coldly, "If you refuse to surrender, this will be your fate."

This is a warning, revealing a strong murderous intent.

"I will give you half an hour to consider whether to fight or surrender! The lives of tens of thousands of people in Yunzhou City all depend on your decision."

She was very calm, but the commander guarding the city was panic-stricken.

We can't win by fighting, but we can't just abandon the city and run away.

A young general said, "General, why don't we surrender? We can't defeat her."

The commander was furious. "The rumors are misleading the people and shaking the morale of the army. Drag him down and chop him off."

Another subordinate quickly stepped forward to stop him, "General, he is just young and ignorant, please forgive him this time."

The commander's expression was as cold as snow, and he said murderously, "Anyone who dares to ask for mercy will be killed."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent and no one dared to plead for mercy.

The commander looked at his men impatiently, "Think of a way to stop Ning Zhiwei's attack?"

What can we do? All those who can fight have died in the battle.

"Let's ask the capital for help."

The commander shook his head slightly, "Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst."

The trip would take at least half a month, and he couldn't last seven days.

A sinister-looking strategist stepped forward and said, "I have a plan."

The Lord will be interested and say, "Speak."

After hearing the counselor's words, the soldiers looked unhappy. "This is absolutely not allowed. It will go against the harmony of nature."

The counselor said confidently, "This is for the sake of the overall situation. We have to sacrifice ourselves. I believe that the emperor will support us in doing so."

One of his men glared at him fiercely. He knew he was a good-for-nothing, but he didn't know he was so bad. Doesn't he have any family?

"General, if you do this, your reputation will be ruined and it will be a stain on your life."

The commander held his head high and said righteously, "So what? For the sake of Dajin and my family, I am willing to give everything."

We all looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, but there was nothing we could do.

Half an hour passed, and there was still no response from the city.

"Boom, boom, boom." The rhythmic sound of war drums rang out, instantly igniting the atmosphere.

Ning Zhiwei drew out his sword and shouted, "The time has come, attack the city."

"Wait a minute." A voice suddenly rang out, and the figure of the Jin Kingdom's main general guarding the city appeared on the city gate.

"Ning Zhiwei, if you dare to attack the city, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

He waved his right hand, and a group of tied-up people were pushed to the city gate, with soldiers pointing their swords at them.

"See these people?"

Ning Zhiwei narrowed her eyes. Are these people from the Jin Kingdom? She didn't recognize them.

Those people cried out loudly, "Commander Ning, please save us, please, we don't want to die."

"Save us."

The commander of the city said loudly, "These people want to surrender to you, openly disobeying military orders, and trying to open the city gates to welcome you into the city at night. This is treason and unforgivable."

The captured people shouted, "Commander Ning, we all want to be the people under your rule. You have always been kind and loving to the people like your own children."

"Commander Ning, it doesn't matter if I die, but please save my family, they are innocent."

Ning Zhiwei looked at them steadily, his eyes flickering, and no one knew what he was thinking.

The commander defending the city had a smug look on his face. "Ning Zhiwei, if you dare to attack the city, I will chop off all the heads of these people, and I will also chop their families into minced meat and kill all nine generations of their clan."

"If they die, it's your fault. You are the executioner."

The counselor deliberately said loudly, "Commander Ning, I know you are a good person, please save these people."

He felt that he was so smart that he could come up with such a good idea to stop the Ning family army from moving forward.

Ning Zhiwei, aren't you under the banner of benevolence and righteousness? How can you stand by and watch people die without helping? And these are the people who are loyal to you.

If you don't save them, you will completely cut off the way out for other people who want to seek refuge with you, and make them feel disheartened.

So what if a group of people die? It’s not us who die anyway.

Those who achieve great things are not careful about the little things.

The Ning family army was stunned. Was this threatening them with the people who defected from the Jin Kingdom? This was too outrageous.

But, no matter what, it’s a bit hard to justify.

Xiao Linfeng frowned slightly. This move was too despicable. Using reason and public opinion to kidnap them, and at the same time, it was also a warning to all the people of the Jin Kingdom who were ready to make a move.

It's not impossible if we don't care.

However, Ning Zhiwei had great ambitions. What she wanted was to annex the Kingdom of Jin and merge the two countries into one, rather than to wage a war of aggression and then run away after plundering everything.

Therefore, it is very important to win the hearts of the people. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.

How can this be solved?

Ning Zhiwei lowered her eyes slightly, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, got it!
