Chapter 555 Who Wants to See Me?
Youzhou, Shanggu County, Zhuolu County
The news that Xianbei had found out was correct. Youzhou Shanggu County did increase its troops.
In fact, the reason why Pingzhou increased its troops was very simple. Lü Songli had arrived in Shanggu County.
It was precisely because Lü Songli, the head of Pingzhou, had arrived in Shanggu County that Qin Heng personally took charge of Shanggu County and deployed heavy troops in Shanggu County.
Qin Heng did not agree with Lü Songli's risk, but Lü Songli felt that their focus would be on the Sun family army in Yanmen and Dai County, and it was necessary to work nearby.
Bingzhou Yanmen
The military supervisor Ji Xiufeng read out the latest imperial decree to the high-ranking officials of the Sun family army with some arrogance. The court rejected Sun Ming's request to withdraw from Yanmen and Dai County and retreat to Xinxing and Zhongshan, and asked him to hold on to Yanmen and Dai County and not take a step back.
After reading the imperial edict, Ji Xiufeng admired the ugly faces of the generals of the Sun family army again, and then he held his head high and led his men away. After he arrived at the Yanmen military camp recently, he had been irritated by these people. He finally vented his anger this time.
At this moment, Sun Ming felt that Bingzhou in the first month of the year was cold to the bone.
After Ji Xiufeng left, the other generals were furious.
"General, the emperor clearly wants us, the Sun family army, to risk our lives!"
"Yes, general, Yanmen is obviously not going to be able to be defended. What should we do?"
Sun Ming only said one sentence, "The emperor's order cannot be violated."
Everyone's mood was heavy in an instant.
"Let's go to the military camp."
In the military camp, Sun Ming went to check on the wounded one by one.
Every time he passed by a place, Sun Ming looked at the trusting eyes of the new recruits and veterans in the military camp.
His throat was a little blocked, and he felt that the next words were too cruel to them. Forget it, let's not talk about it today, and talk about it tomorrow morning, so that they can sleep well again.
When Sun Ming returned to the military tent from the wounded camp, he ordered, "Open the gates in the east, south and west."
The generals were stunned. This was to let the common people escape first. Thinking of the current war situation, everyone was silent.
"Tomorrow, you will leave too." Sun Ming said with a smile.
All the generals: "General!"
Mu Ye, his trusted and beloved general who was promoted by him, suddenly reacted, "General, did you expect this situation a long time ago, so you sent the young general away?" Then he sent them away.
Sun Ming did not deny it, "Dying on the battlefield, wrapped in horsehide, is the best destination for military generals like us."
He had to earn a way out for the people behind him, and he had to give his children a legitimate reason to switch to others...
Moreover, once Yanmen Pass was broken, the beginning of the Xianbei Hulu causing trouble in the Central Plains was foreseeable.
Their fighting style of dying together could at least eliminate a small part of the Xianbei army as much as possible. At least their sacrifice was not meaningless. Killing one more Xianbei soldier would give the Han people a glimmer of hope.
Liao Ying on the side lost his voice, "General, why is it so?"
"Old Liao, Muye, there are no reinforcements, we have no reinforcements in Bingzhou."
In the military tent, everyone's expression was so solemn.
Southwest, Chengwang Mansion
The city was broken, and there was chaos outside, with shouts of killing, begging for mercy and crying.
Chengwang Mansion was also in chaos, but Chengwang didn't care.
From the moment the city was broken, Chengwang knew that he had been tricked. Not only him, but also Jinwang and Lu Songli of Pingzhou were all the targets of Song Mo and Xie Zhan's calculations.
"Song Mo, you are so cruel, you can tolerate Xie Zhan, but you can't tolerate brothers like us?" At this time, Chengwang looked ten years older than before.
At this time, the guard came to report, "Your Majesty, it's bad, our Chengwang Mansion is surrounded!"
At this time, Chengwang realized that the situation was hopeless. He looked at Dong Jichuan next to him and said with great regret, "Mr. Dong, I regret not listening to you."
Other people under Chengwang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, listen to Mr. Dong, let's leave now and go to Pingzhou!"
Dong Jichuan didn't say anything. He sighed in his heart. It was too late.
Chengwang shook his head, "You can't escape." Song Mo couldn't tolerate him.
Not long after, Chengwang Mansion was surrounded.
The people were arresting the family members in Chengwang Mansion.
Chengwang calmed down and said to Dong Jichuan and others, "You go out first, surrender if you should, don't resist, save your life, I will change my clothes and come."
"Your Majesty——" Dong Jichuan hesitated to speak, and wanted to persuade him that it was better to live than to die, but he knew that the prince would not listen.
Sure enough, after they went out to accept the surrender, the prince was still not out.
General Yang Yingqin ordered his men to push open the door, and what he saw was King Cheng Song Qian lying on the couch with his clothes on, his eyes wide open.
King Cheng passed away, and King Cheng's family cried heartbreakingly.
Bingzhou, Dai County
Sun Congyi led a team of people to deliver supplies to the Sun family army garrison in Dai County.
In Dai County, his eldest brother, second brother and others were stationed.
When Sun Erge saw him, he was surprised, "Little brother, why are you here?"
"Dad asked me to send you some supplies."
"Hey, is Yanmen okay?"
Hearing this, Sun Congyi's face sank, and he said in a muffled voice, "Not good."
Sun Erge sighed, "I don't know when the court's reinforcements will arrive?"
"How long can Dai County hold out?" Hearing that the situation was not right, Sun Congyi asked hurriedly.
"The city may fall at any time."
"I'll go and see." Sun Congyi said, and ran away.
When he came back, his face was dark, "Big Brother, Second Brother, gather the generals and follow me!"
"Once we leave, Dai County will really be undefendable."
"If we can't defend it, then we can't defend it. Song Mo doesn't care, so why should we risk our lives?" Sun Congyi got angry when he thought of what he had just seen. Dai County has not been broken yet, entirely because their soldiers are fighting desperately with their lives!
"Does the court take our Sun family army seriously? Does it take the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers seriously? What are we defending?"
At this time, Brother Sun came in, and when he saw him, he was stunned, "Why are you here?"
Hearing Sun Congyi's answer, Brother Sun frowned, "Dad asked you to come to Dai County at this time?"
Hearing this, Sun Congyi thought of the current situation, his face changed, not good! He fell into the trap! He fell into his father's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!
Thinking of this, he rushed out like a sharp arrow.
Brother Sun and Brother Sun chased out.
Sun Congyi grabbed the horse and ran.
Brother Sun and Brother Sun quickly asked a team of personal soldiers to follow.
Sun Congyi didn't care about anything, he wanted to go back! He must hurry back to Yanmen! He must be in time!
Facing the cold wind, Sun Congyi drove the horse forward with all his strength, and the crystal in the corner of his eyes fell into the wind and turned into snowflakes.
Bingzhou, Yanmen
After the meeting, Sun Ming waved his hand and asked the generals to go about their business.
Liao Ying deliberately stayed at the end.
Soon, the military tent was empty, leaving only Ming and him.
Liao Ying seemed to have made up his mind, "General, someone wants to see you."
Sun Ming was not interested, "Who wants to see me?"
"Lü Songli, Governor Lu."
Sun Ming looked at him anxiously, "When did you talk to Pingzhou?"
"It was someone from Pingzhou who found me." When the other party found him, he only said this one thing. Liao Ying felt absurd when he heard it at the time, but now it was like grabbing a life-saving straw.
"Lü Songli has arrived in Zhuolu County, Shanggu County, Youzhou. General, go see her."
Sun Ming was very surprised when he heard it.
…
Youzhou, Shanggu County, Zhuolu County
The wind was strong and the snow was heavy. Lv Songli reached out to catch a snowflake.
Behind her, Xue Xu reported the current situation of Yanmen to her, "General Sun has ordered his men to open the city gate. The city gate of Yanmen is now open, so let the people escape."
Lv Songli nodded, indicating that she understood, and then she asked with a smile, "Mr. Xue, do you think Sun Ming will come?"
Xue Xu said leisurely, "He will come." Yanmen Dai County and the Sun family army have reached a dead end. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, the other party will not let it go.
Lv Songli: "I think so too."
