The princess has space, and her life turns around when she turns into a silly woman
Chapter 184: Only by living can there be hope
On the other side, the soldiers from Western Xinjiang looked embarrassed. They looked at each other, at a loss as to what to do.
Finally, their eyes turned to Nangong Yu, as if waiting for his decision.
However, Nangong Yu gritted his teeth and was reluctant to make a decision.
At this moment, a general suddenly knelt down and pleaded with tears in his eyes: "Please, Prince, take our soldiers home!"
Nangong Yu's eyes widened with anger, and he shouted loudly: "Waste, what are you talking about? Didn't you hear what that woman said? If we can win, then we can naturally take them back; but if we fail, she will also take the initiative to send our soldiers home."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the soldiers knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Prince, please don't let our hearts be broken. Please take us home!"
Faced with everyone's pleas for mercy, Nangong Yu was furious. He cursed: "You bunch of useless people, this is clearly that woman's conspiracy!"
However, despite Nangong Yu's strong objection, all the soldiers had already knelt down, and they shouted in unison again: "Please, Prince, take the soldiers home!"
Nangong Yu finally couldn't bear such pressure anymore. He squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Okay! Change people..."
In this way, more than 20,000 people were replaced and still had special people to take care of them and rest in the rear!
Nangong Yu gritted his teeth, "Shangguan Qing, I wonder what else you can do? When we recover, you'll only have 100,000 troops at your disposal, while I have 300,000. I'll definitely crush you!"
Shangguan Qing smiled slightly, a sly look flashing in his eyes. "Nangong Yu, don't get complacent too soon. Once you've recovered your strength, let's have another good fight!"
Nangong Yu looked down coldly, gritting his teeth in his heart.
However, the tempting aroma of meat keeps wafting over, making it impossible to resist the temptation of delicious food, especially when you are hungry.
At this time, porridge was also cooked on the top of the city wall, but it was just thin porridge as light as water, which was in sharp contrast to the rich food below the city.
Below the city gate, the soldiers were happily enjoying big white steamed buns and meat, and their laughter echoed in the air.
The people above the city gate watched this scene with their eyes wide open, their hearts filled with envy, their mouths watering uncontrollably.
Nangong Yu gritted his teeth and gave an order: "Everyone go downstairs to drink porridge, and don't come up again."
In this way he tried to maintain morale and prevent the soldiers from being shaken by hunger.
Shangguan Qing mercilessly picked up the loudspeaker and said sarcastically, "Nangong Yu, you're just deceiving yourself. Even if you can't see it, you can definitely smell it, right? Haha..."
Nangong Yu remained silent. Everyone knew that this war had turned into a psychological warfare.
But Shangguan Qing couldn't wait any longer. He had to rescue all the prisoners of war as soon as possible to avoid a greater crisis if time was delayed.
So, he continued to shout loudly: "Nangong Yu, the food you have stored can only last for two days at most. Do you think your hungry and exhausted soldiers can still be our opponents?"
Nangong Yu was very conflicted, and finally gritted his teeth and shouted, "Shangguan Qing, what do you want?"
Shangguan Qing smiled and said softly, "Nangong Yu, I should be the one asking this question. It's not about what I want, but what you want."
Nangong Yu understood that the current situation was very urgent and the problem had to be solved as soon as possible.
He glanced around and said calmly, "I have two conditions. First, provide me with ten days' worth of food and fodder. Second, from now on, you are not allowed to use that kind of weapon again."
Shangguan Qing pretended to hesitate after hearing this request.
She turned to look at the soldiers behind her, only to see them shaking their heads in opposition.
One of them shouted, "Miss, absolutely not!"
General Yanbei also said anxiously: "Miss, if we don't have that kind of weapon, our casualties will be even greater."
Nangong Yu laughed and said sarcastically, "Shangguan Qing, are you going to abandon these prisoners of war?"
He glanced at the captured soldiers, a hint of pride in his eyes.
At this moment, a prisoner of war suddenly shouted, "Miss, please don't agree to his request! Retaking Yanmen Pass is the most important thing. Yanmen Pass must not fall into our hands! We have failed the general's expectations and have failed to live up to his trust. Let us die as an apology!"
His voice was full of tragedy and determination, which moved everyone present.
As he said this, the man was about to rush towards the city. Fortunately, all the prisoners were tied together and moved slowly. He was dragged down by the people behind him after just a few steps, so he did not fall.
Seeing this, the others also followed suit by shouting slogans and making gestures to charge forward, "Take back Yanmen Pass! We are so sorry to the general and all the soldiers at Yanmen Pass."
Only then did Shangguan Qing see clearly that this man was also one of his father's deputy generals, named Li Da.
She hurriedly shouted to stop him, "Uncle Li Da, don't jump! All the soldiers at Yanmen Pass, listen up! Don't jump! Only when you're alive can there be hope. I said I won't give up on any of you. You must believe me!"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Shangguan Qing with confusion, not knowing what she was up to.
At this moment, Murong Bai also stood up and shouted loudly: "Listen to Qing'er, the men of my Murong country can die under the enemy's sword, but they cannot die in humiliation like this."
Yan Bei also echoed, "Yes, listen to the young lady! The Regent is right, we must keep our lives and fight the enemy!"
Everyone was moved by their words and their emotions gradually calmed down.
At this moment, Shangguan Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Shangguan Qing prepared fifty carts of food and ordered people to deliver them to the city.
Nangong Yu chuckled: "Shangguan Qing, I said I wanted ten days' worth of food."
Shangguan Qing's lips curled slightly, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, and he sneered, "Nangong Yu, the outcome will be decided within five days, why prepare so much food? Don't waste time, let's get started!"
Nangong Yu thought to himself that Shangguan Qing had some truth in what he said, but he still had some doubts because he was not sure whether Shangguan Qing really could not use that weapon.
So, he spoke cautiously: "Shangguan Qing, I hope you will keep your promise and not use that weapon."
Shangguan Qing smiled disdainfully upon hearing this, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.
"Nangong Yu, you're really judging others by your own standards! I said I wouldn't use that thing, and I'll keep my word. Besides, if I blow up Yanmen Pass, what good will it do me?"
