Outside the city, the snow is covered with yellow sand, and in the court, the cold moon is cold and frosty.

The bitter north wind whistled like a solid blade on the face, and since the beginning of winter in August, many people's faces have been cracked into a few red cuts.

In the entire Lingwu City, only a few people here were spared.

The face has not changed.

In the dark night, a light was like a bean, and the fire was dim, just like the atmosphere in the room and the faces of everyone present, dull and dim, and the road ahead was like thick ink, and the fighting spirit was completely gone, only depressed.

"Ah Da, if you really don't want to, we will surrender tomorrow and hand over the jade seal of the country and Your Majesty, hoping that Gao Qia will let us go for the sake of this spoil. The middle-aged man sitting on the top said in a deep voice.

"My lord. Everyone in the room was shocked.

"Once handed over, we will not be able to live. ”

"Never hand. ”

"Tomorrow I will lead people out of the city, and I will not be angry with the high surname. ”

……

In October last year, their men and horses fought a battle with Gao Qia in Bingzhou, and were defeated, and fled west with the young emperor Murong Jing and the jade seal of the country.

That's right, run away.

Gao Qia's men and horses pursued them relentlessly, and in the past year, they have fled while fighting, losing 30,000 or 40,000 people, and now the actual strength is less than 10,000.

Not to mention, it is known as an empty shell of 50,000 people.

Once Gao Qia finds out the truth, I am afraid that this Lingwu City will not be protected.

It's no wonder that the general Duan Yuxu said the words of surrender.

"I'm willing to marry. ”

The gossip of all the generals was not as good as Zheng Jing's sentence, like a pound of thunder sounded, and everyone's surprised eyes looked at Zheng Jing, including Duan Yuxu, who was sitting at the top.

Zheng Jing nodded towards Duan Yuxu, "Lord, I agree to marry the daughter of the Dou family, and I will send someone to Liangzhou tomorrow to propose marriage." "If you want him to surrender to Helan You, Gao Qia and others, you can't.

Two years ago, when the news came, he was devastated, whether it was the people he sent out, the people who came from there, or the news from the Zheng family, Chen Liu was in ruins.

His wife and children are dead, and this revenge cannot be avenged.

A marriage, 50,000 elite soldiers, and a place for respite on the Liangzhou side, for these people now, it is simply a desperate situation.

As early as half a year ago, the envoy of Liangzhou came to Duan Yuxu to form an alliance and proposed a marriage, but no one expected that the person in the Dou family was him, after all, he was really not young, and he was a widower, and the daughter of the Dou family had just turned twenty, and she was delayed because of filial piety and missed the period of marrying apricots.

There are also many sons and daughters in the army.

Not to mention anything else, just his nephew, Zong Kan's second son Zong Lu, has not yet been married at the age of seventeen.

The Dou family is a big family in Hexi, and the girl of the Dou family can't find any kind of son, so she can take a fancy to him as an old man, and in addition, the Zheng family and the Hexi family have never been married, so at the beginning, he didn't nod.

However, everyone else was eager to replace him with himself, and Duan Yuxu talked to him many times.

Duan Yuxu is a Huns, his family has been stationed in the border town for generations, when he and Zong Kan first arrived in Jiuyuan County, Duan Yuxu took care of him, and he stood firm, three years ago, Duan Yuxu's wife died of illness, and a year later, he remarried Eleven Niang Zheng Man.

Since then, because of their in-laws and like-mindedness, the three have become closer.

When Luoyang overturned, the people and horses of the border towns ran to Luoyang, making the border towns empty, so Duan Yuxu led them to pull up a team of tens of thousands of people, quickly occupied the state, and did not directly enter Luoyang, but used the city as a base to intercept and kill many people and horses who fled from Luoyang or other places.

Even though the Northland was full of smoke and constant fighting, it kept the peace of the annexed state.

Last year, Murong Jing took his relatives and Yuxi from Yecheng to defect, and the war between Bingzhou and Yecheng Helanyou started in advance.

After three battles, they lost and merged with the state, and had to flee in exile, and now only according to Hexi, with the geographical advantages of Guanzhong, can there be the hope of the comeback of the East Mountain, and the east of the Han Valley.

I don't know, this time, how long can the Zheng family's wall dock resist?

Gao Qia led 50,000 elite cavalry to chase after them, Helan You also had to pacify the heroes and strongmen in various places, and there must not be many troops that could concentrate on dealing with the Zheng family's troops, hoping that the Zheng family could hold out until they recovered their vitality and went east to Hangu.

When Zheng Jing was worried about the Zheng family, he couldn't predict it, thousands of miles away, far away in Tongquetai in Yecheng, the scene was extremely tense, and the audience was silent, as if something was about to break out.

A man stands in the center of the courtyard, wearing a three-beam crown, wearing a silk coat, his posture is erect, domineering, although he is old, he has a long beard, but it is difficult to hide his elegance, and his full forehead can be seen that when he was young, he was definitely a beautiful man.

"Xu, the first time I heard that digging a man's grave, as a son of man, not only can he not speak up, but he must support and agree, with all loyalty, how dare he ask where filial piety is?"

"If filial piety does not exist, how can we talk about loyalty and righteousness?

Speaking of the last sentence, the narrow peach blossom eyes looked directly at Helan You, who was sitting at the top, "Xu, I secretly think that the son of man should be filial to his parents, and he should be loyal to the virtuous lord for a good minister." ”

The voice was loud, resounding in the sky above the Huating, and the surrounding ministers, Hu * people and warriors all looked at each other angrily, all holding knife rings, just waiting for orders, Han * humanities officials, most of them looked at the case. But as the words landed, no one dared to squeak, and the scene returned to the previous dead silence again.

I don't know how long it took, everyone here, especially the civil officials, was worried and began to break out in a cold sweat, and they didn't even dare to look up at Helan You, who was cut off by Luoshui back then, which was his big deal.

This banquet is likely to become a feast of killing.

It's just that I don't know how many people will be implicated?

Just as everyone was waiting for the order and waiting for the butcher knife to fall, a loud shout suddenly sounded.

"Good. ”

With the word Helan You, the atmosphere on the scene changed, almost everyone showed a state of prostration, sweat and wet jackets, many people felt that they had withdrawn a foot from the ghost gate, among them, the palace Shangshu and the Prime Minister's Mansion Zuoxi Peng Zhang Department was the most.

Zhang is Zheng Xu's father-in-law, and he was Helan You's staff in his early years, and he is considered to be Helan You's descendant, so after the fall of Luoyang, Zheng Xu was not only able to save his life, but also followed Helan You to Yecheng and got an official position.

Zheng Xu retreated to his position, ignoring his father-in-law's fierce gaze.

Just now, he had already spoken out against it, stood up, and had already put his life on the line.

In the battle of Chenliu that year, Zheng Xu was in Jizhou, unable to rescue his nephew and sister-in-law, and he still hated it.

On the stage, I only heard Helan You laugh and said: "A good minister should be loyal to the virtuous lord, Zheng Shilang, I hope you can remember today's words." After a slight pause, he opened his mouth again, "Lone wants you to go to Xingyang in person, as long as the Zheng family is willing to belong, Lone can keep Xingyang safe and the cemetery undamaged." ”

Zheng Xu's face was solemn, and he replied for the first time, "Only." ”

At this moment, whether he wants it or not, he must respond.
