The First Tyrant of Daxia

Qin Yun laughed heartily: "When encountering something funny, why not laugh?"

"Humph!"

Gongsun Wan'er pursed her lips and thought secretly in her heart, just wait for me.

There was no danger when she went out with Murong Shunhua, but she was too naughty and made a lot of mistakes.

Murong Shunhua asked in confusion: "You are still in the mood to laugh? I met Christina when I came back. You let the people in the city go, but why did you let the soldiers go as well? Isn't this reducing your own combat effectiveness?"

Qin Yun smiled helplessly and had to explain it to Murong Shunhua.

"Letting those soldiers go does not reduce our combat effectiveness, but rather reintegrates our combat effectiveness and unites everyone's willpower into one!"

Qin Yun narrowed his eyes and said, "If these 50,000 people are not loyal, they will be less useful than one person. We will have to worry about their rebellion at any time, which will have a counterproductive effect."

Murong Shunhua sighed and said, "I don't know much about marching and fighting. If your Majesty says yes, then that's fine."

"However, I didn't expect that after Fred left, he would bring us so much trouble. Otherwise, I will go and capture him. Perhaps these soldiers can be of some use."

"There's no chance. Fred's plan this time is so thorough. He must have figured out how to escape. You're a stranger in this place. How are you going to chase him?"

Qin Yun said, "Besides, even if we chase this guy back, we won't be able to stabilize the morale of the army. There's no need to spend a lot of time and energy chasing him."

"The most important thing now is to reintegrate the useful combat forces in the city. Wait for Christina's report."

Murong Shunhua nodded slightly.

She was a woman of the martial arts world who was used to fighting and killing. She knew nothing about these things and had no way to help Qin Yun solve his problems.

Gongsun Wan'er's eyes turned and she said with a smile, "Since Your Majesty has decided to let them leave, why not let them make use of their remaining energy once more?"

Qin Yun was somewhat interested after hearing this: "Wan'er, what's your idea?"

Gongsun Wan'er smiled and said, "Your Majesty can tell them that they can leave the city, but they must make corresponding contributions."

"For example, if ordinary people want to leave, they can be asked to hand over a pound of grain, or look after a tree, or carry a stone."

"If it's those soldiers, we can raise the requirements a little bit, but it's within their acceptable range."

“Your Majesty can act as if you will fight them to the death if they don’t work, and let them make some contributions before leaving.”

"These contributions are not difficult for each of them, but when the number of people is accumulated, it becomes a very objective number for us."

Qin Yun's eyes suddenly lit up.

This is a good idea!

Gongsun Wan'er is indeed a capitalist from a prominent family. This idea can allow them to obtain more materials for defending the city, as well as food. No one would complain about having too much food.

Qin Yun glanced at Gongsun Wan'er and asked, "Did you learn this from your aunt?"

Gongsun Wan'er smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry about who I learned it from. Just tell me if it's useful or not. Can it be used?"

"It works." Qin Yun grinned.

Then he called the Imperial Guard and asked him to tell Christina immediately that the method of leaving the city had to be changed. Those who wanted to go out had to make contributions to obtain the qualification to leave the city.

Christina was stunned after receiving the news.

I didn't expect it could be done this way. Your Majesty's operation is simply too cool.

She didn't know that the idea was actually thought up by Gongsun Wan'er.

Christina immediately began to follow Qin Yun's orders.

Soon this announcement appeared on various bulletin boards in the main city of Noki, causing an immediate sensation.

"The Emperor of Daxia allows us to leave this city?!"

"Great!"

Many people were rejoicing and excited. They saw the soldiers who had chased out from Chengli before and thought they could only wait in the city for the war to come.

But now Qin Yun has issued an announcement, telling them that they can leave here, and these old people are naturally very happy.

The soldiers were also very happy because they were loyal to Fred, but Fred escaped.

Even their highest commander has fled, so how can they still be willing to risk their lives for a foreigner?

In this happy situation, they selectively ignored the following contribution conditions. After all, they were not difficult at all.

Before the panic, although the main city of Noki was at the bottom, at least people had enough food and clothing. After all, Qin Yun had improved the overall strength of the Persian Empire, so people naturally lived a good life.

For a moment, the city, which had finally calmed down after being suppressed by Qin Yun, became noisy again.

However, Qin Yun allowed the noise this time.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Christina looked at the empty city before her and her smile was somewhat bitter.

"Your Majesty, according to statistics, 90% of the people in the main city of Noki have passed away. The rest are all elderly people. They are in poor health and cannot walk far. They would rather die in their hometown."

"Many of the original 50,000 soldiers, plus some of the guards in the city, have left, leaving only about 4,000 of the 50,000 soldiers. Most of these people stayed because they wanted to protect the city."

"Some people also think that Your Majesty has a backup plan and want to take advantage of the opportunity to gain some credit in front of Your Majesty."

Qin Yun smiled and said, "I didn't expect that there are some good-looking guys among this group of soldiers. Not bad! Write down the names of those who took the initiative to stay. When this war is over, they will be rewarded."

Christina nodded, but the worry between her brows was still a little hard to understand: "Your Majesty, all the rebels we recruited before have run away, not a single one is left."

"As expected." Qin Yun said with a smile, "These volunteers did not have much enthusiasm when they joined the army. Now they are running away. I am not surprised at all."

Christina smiled bitterly.

Originally, the army defending the city could still fight, but now there are only 15,000 people left, divided into four teams to defend the city. There are less than 4,000 people at each city gate, and the other side has at least 300,000 people, which is a difference of 30 times in numbers.

The gap is even bigger than when Wilson intercepted Qin Yun.

However, Qin Yun did not show a distressed smile because of this, which made Christina feel relieved.

Qin Yun is now like a stabilizing force. As long as he is not panicked, they will not panic either.

"Christina, how many resources have we received in total?" Qin Yun asked.
