Chapter 1702: Hang His Head on the City Gate
Yan Bei was actually feeling uneasy as well.
He looked at Jun Yexuan's stern profile and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, is there anything... that you need me to do?"
"What do you want to say? Just say it." Jun Yexuan's voice was neither cold nor hot, neither fast nor slow, making it impossible to hear what he was thinking.
Yan Bei finally mustered up the courage to speak out his doubts: "Since His Highness Xi could release such news, the Emperor should know that she has no other choice."
"Dianzhou City only has 40,000 troops, and now they have sent 30,000 troops to Wucheng. Even if they recruit troops in Dianzhou, they can only recruit more than 10,000 people at most."
"That is to say, His Highness Xi only has about 20,000 troops left in Qingzhi Mountain. 20,000 people facing Jun Qizheng's 150,000 troops is undoubtedly like an egg hitting a rock. There is no chance of winning at all."
Yan Bei took a deep breath and lowered his voice: "Your Majesty... aren't you anxious?"
"I am anxious, but what practical use does my anxiety have for her?"
Yan Bei had no way of answering this question.
Jun Yexuan added: "If I send out troops now, it will take at least four days to march from Jinzhou City to Dianzhou. If I move, not only will Jun Qizheng know that Xier is short of manpower and in a critical situation, but even the other armies under Jun Qizheng will know that we are in trouble."
"At that time, those troops that were originally somewhat wavering will rush here without hesitation. In order to show their loyalty to Jun Qizheng, they will fight to the death to capture Jinzhou City."
"If I move, it will affect too many people. Not only will I not be able to help Xier, but I will also give Jun Qizheng a huge boost. Do you understand?"
Yan Bei quickly figured it out that the army in Jinzhou City really could not move!
"But, Your Highness Xi, this rumor is really outrageous. Who would believe it?"
"If more people say it, everyone will believe it. Even if they don't believe it, they will still have doubts in their hearts." Jun Yexuan pursed his lips, looked at him and said, "Let Qin Xiangbei do everything he can to spread this news. Just say... Jun Qizheng's head was hung at the gate of Dianzhou City."
"This..." Is this too exaggerated?
It was originally a rumor, but now it has to be told in a vivid way.
Jun Yexuan glanced at him coldly: "Are you not going yet?"
"Yes! I'll do it right away!" Yan Bei bowed, turned around and left.
...So this news soon reached Gu Yunxi's ears.
"Hang Jun Qizhen's head on the gate of Dianzhou city?" Gu Yunxi raised her hand and wiped the sweat off her face. Her originally fair and delicate face was immediately covered with a pile of mud and dirt after being wiped.
But she didn't care and was still thinking about the news that came from nowhere.
After thinking for a while, she smiled and said, "Okay, hang Jun Qizheng's head on the gate of Dianzhou City!"
Yan Shisan was somewhat troubled: "Your Highness, where can we... get Jun Qizheng's head?"
"How could there be no one? Wasn't he chopped to pieces a few days ago?" Gu Yunxi looked at her. "How many days has it been since the body was exposed to the sun on the mountain path? Although it has been rotten beyond recognition, it is indeed Jun Qizheng!"
Yan Shisan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly, as if he understood, he cupped his hands and immediately said, "Yes, I obey your command. I will go right away and personally hang Jun Qizheng's rotten head on the gate of Dianzhou City!"
