Zhao Ziliang said: "Yes, they all died during the siege, but there are two reasons why Jerusalem has not been conquered by us: First, although they obeyed us on the surface, they were taken away by our generals and soldiers Attack Jerusalem, but they are actually resisting in their hearts.
The vast majority of you are believers of various religions.
For you, Jerusalem is a holy city, a sacred place, and inviolable.
Therefore, they They obey us on the surface, but in fact they do not fight according to our orders in battle, and they are not proactive in fighting.
They have never fought in a battle, and they do not understand that on the battlefield, you will die or I will live.
Any hesitation will make them The next moment they were killed by the enemy, so they all died of their own hesitation and inner resistance.
Secondly, our general did not organize them in an effective way and did not let them use their full strength."
The slaves were silent, but soon another slave raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, we don't want to fight, why do you have to attack Jerusalem?
Attacking Jerusalem will damage this holy city, which is the holy place in our hearts."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "You asked a very good question.
It involves the essential reasons why wars break out in the world.
The outbreak of wars involves political and economic interests.
When political means cannot solve it, we can only use I hope you can understand what I am saying.
For thousands of years, Syria has Asia, the land of Canaan, Jerusalem, and other areas in the Mesopotamia are often in war.
This large piece of land is the cradle of human civilization.
It has given birth to many civilizations.
It is also a land of wealth, occupying The kingdoms in this land are all powerful countries, and every surrounding country wants to possess it, so it has become For other countries to compete for land, the owner of this land certainly did not agree, so the war broke out.
The Great Food Kingdom, the Eastern Roman Empire, the Jews, and Persia all once occupied Jerusalem, just because it is the holy land in your hearts.
They They don't want it to fall into the hands of other countries.
That's why they fight for it.
I attack it.
The reasons here are similar, but slightly different.
No matter what the reason is, only when it is occupied by a strong and stable political power can the war end, the people here can live and work in peace and contentment, and everything here can be preserved.
If it is always in war, It will be destroyed sooner or later.
If you want to end the war, you can only end it with war."
"As for you saying that attacking Jerusalem will destroy this holy city, I can tell you that you are wrong.
I attacked it not to destroy it.
My generals asked me to order an attack with kerosene bombs.
I agreed, but It is limited to the city wall area and is not projected deep into the city to avoid burning the monuments in the city.
If they surrender, I can To ensure that no one in the city will be harmed, Jerusalem will only have one more city lord, and it will accept the rule of the Western Qin Kingdom.
The people here will end the war, and they will live a better life.
I sent troops to attack Jerusalem.
In addition to political interests, In addition to financial benefits, there is also my own little vanity, just like when you can eat and drink After you are fully clothed and warm, you will not be satisfied with this.
You will have higher needs, such as marrying a woman and having several children.
When these are satisfied, you will think about other things until you realize your self-existence.
The value of this world, you may think why I live in this world, what I have left to this world after my death, will future generations remember it?
I have to wait.
All I want to do is leave traces of my existence in this time.
It is my long-cherished wish to include Jerusalem in the territory of the Western Qin Kingdom that I created with my own hands.
I will make this city and many people in it The holy sites and monuments will be preserved forever, and people thousands of years from now can still come here to admire its holiness and vicissitudes of life."
These words made many slaves' inner persistence begin to waver.
If you think about it carefully, it is indeed true.
This holy city has always suffered from war.
Its name means the city of peace, but it has never been truly peaceful.
If it can be ruled by a powerful country and all the ancient buildings in the Holy City can be preserved, then it might not be a bad idea to help them attack Jerusalem.

The slave just now continued to ask: "Your Majesty the King, can you really guarantee that after the city is destroyed, the holy places and monuments in the city will not be destroyed?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "I am the king of the Western Qin Kingdom.
A king will never break his promise.
As long as my country is immortal, my subjects will always abide by what I have said.
Although you are now Slaves, but will soon become my subjects, won't you follow my will and protect everything in this city?"
The slave was stunned, and immediately knelt down on the ground and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will follow your will to protect it."
The slaves knelt down and shouted loudly: "I am willing to fulfill your will, Your Majesty."
Zhao Ziliang added: "Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to invite Guy, the Jewish leader in Jerusalem, to meet to discuss the surrender of Jerusalem.
If they can hand over their weapons and surrender, I will ensure the safety of life and property of everyone in the city and respect their respective beliefs.
The difference is that we do the same in other places under our rule in the Western Qin Dynasty.
We don’t care what the subjects believe in.
As long as you love this country and pay normal taxes, you belong to this country.
As a subject, this country will protect your life and property.
If he refuses to surrender, then he is just a selfish person.
He is not defending the city for everyone in the city, but does not want to give up the rights in his hands.
I will lead you to attack the city.
As long as you carry out my orders, we will be able to break through the city wall at the minimum cost, and you will also get what I promised.
You will be saved from death, and you will receive freedom, deserved financial rewards, and some property” It was really not easy for all the slaves to hear the personal promise of the King of Western Qin.
They put their hearts back in their stomachs, and many of them began to give up the slightest resistance in their hearts.
Zhao Ziliang continued: "You have not received any military training, and many of you have no combat experience.
In order to allow you to exert your greatest combat effectiveness, in order to allow my orders to be conveyed to you in a timely manner, so that you can correctly implement my tactics, I I have decided to organize you into formations.
You will be divided into many teams, each with ten people.
I hope you will choose your own teammates and captains.
I don’t care what method you use.
Before noon, all teams must Complete the formation, every Each squad has selected a captain of ten.
If not, I will send someone to help you choose and appoint a captain of ten.
After lunch, I will send someone in the afternoon to organize each ten squads into a squad of one hundred.
The men are your centurions, every ten centurions Form a team of 1,000 people.
The commanders of the 1,000-man team will also be appointed by me.
They are all generals who have experienced hundreds of battles.
I believe they can lead you well.
From now on, you can choose your own teammates and captains.
I will come again after lunch.”
All the generals who followed Zhao Ziliang were stunned at this time.
Zhao Ziliang actually organized these slaves into regular troops.
This made some of them suddenly realize, and some of the slow-minded people were puzzled.
These generals never regarded these slaves as human beings from the beginning.
In the eyes of these generals, slaves are just consumables.
They are tools used to consume the opponent's troops and morale during siege battles.
It is practical to organize them.
It's such a waste of time and energy.
It is not difficult to form a formation for them, and they have never thought of letting you choose your own teammates and captains.
This seems to them to be too bold, but Zhao Ziliang did just that, and looking at the performance of these slaves, they I am really happy and willing to choose my teammates and captains, and now they have started to take action. , they pulled familiar people over to form ten-man teams, and then elected a person with high prestige to be the commander of the ten men.
Those who did not know each other had to be forced to form their own teams of ten, but they chose the ten husbands.
The method of captaining is different.

They adopt the method that whoever can defeat everyone else will be the captain of ten.
On April 14, after breakfast, the Western Qin army came to the city of Jerusalem again.
There seemed to be more flags covering the sky than before, and this time the banner was changed to a golden banner.
The sun rose, and the hot wind blowing from the east brought fine desert sand.
The soldiers of the Western Qin Dynasty, who had their backs to the rising sun, were soon covered with a layer of fine yellow sand.
Zhao Ziliang observed for a while and nodded to Chen Qing.
Chen Qing immediately sent a school captain and several cavalry to gallop towards the city wall.
Guy, who was on the city wall, found that the number of troops of the Western Qin Army had increased significantly today, and the flags had also changed.
This gave him an ominous premonition.
At this time, he and all the defenders on the city wall saw the troops of the Western Qin Army coming from the formation.
Several cavalrymen ran over from the direction.
The cavalrymen reined in their horses and stopped not far from the city wall.
One of them shouted to the city wall: "Is there anyone who understands Chinese who can come out and answer me?"
After shouting several times, Guy turned to the people around him and ordered: "Find someone who can understand what he said."
"Yes, my lord" Soon, a Greek businessman was brought over.
He shouted to the city in Chinese: "What do you want to say?"
"Our king wants to talk to your principal.
If he has the courage, he will come out to meet our king."
After the captain finished speaking, he turned around and returned with a few cavalry.
At this time, Zhao Ziliang had jumped off the horse and handed the horse's shaft to two guards to carry.
He shook out his sand-proof cloak, shook off some sand, and strode towards the city wall with the sword in his waist
