"Once... our Zhou army has encountered a siege situation before. My father, King of Zhen, Bai Qishan, was once trapped in Fengcheng by thirty thousand troops, yet he managed to hold on in spite of the lack of manpower and supplies!" Bai Qingyan straightened up and looked at the Zhou commanders surrounding her. "Moreover, we have not only five thousand soldiers, but also more than thirty thousand civilians in Jiangzi City!"
Du Sanbao approached Bai Qingyan: "Although these Xiliang civilians have abandoned their Xiliang identity and joined Zhou, they aren't true native Zhou people. Can they really fight side by side with us?"
"These Xiliang civilians know how harsh life would be if they continued being Xiliang people, which is why they chose to become Zhou citizens. The houses and food they have today did not come easily. Having faced life and death and survived famine, they would be more grateful for the days as Zhou citizens with a home and food!"
