Datong.

"Mr. Law."

"Mr. Law."

A scholar named Lao Zhao walked up the stairs to the top of the city, and along the way there were soldiers greeting him.

Lao Zhao was twenty-five years old at the time, with an ordinary face, his back was slightly bent, and he looked unenergetic, but with a bookish atmosphere.

He walked up to the top of the city and stood beside one of the armored generals.

"Governor."

Sun Baigu was looking at the wolf smoke in the mountains in the distance, and said, "It seems that Taiyuan has fallen. ”

"Taiyuan City can't hold it." Lao Zhao said, "What the Governor should be worried about is whether the Jingshi will fall. ”

In the distance, the twilight clouds glowed red, rolling and relaxing.

Heaven and earth are desolate.

Sun Baigu suddenly felt that this Chu Dynasty was like the evening sun was about to fall in the mountains.

"The imperial court did not have an edict to transfer the old man back to King Qin."

Lao Zhao said: "The princes of the capital still have expectations, and they want the governor to guard Xuanda, which is ridiculous and lamentable." ”

"What if Xuanda is kept?" Sun Baigu said, "Tang reversed the two roads to the east, and Tang Zhongyuan led the army to attack Shanxi and went straight to Xuanda; King Wu Yan bypassed the Taihang Mountains along the Yellow River and went north from Henan to the capital. ”

"The princes of the capital feel that if King Wu Yama advances quickly, it will be too late to send the general back to help."

Sun Baigu shook his head a little helplessly, and sneered: "Fantasy." ”

He was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "Zhang Yongnian definitely can't defend Jizhen...... The storm is coming. ”

This Chu Dynasty is basically an unsolvable dead end.

For individuals, it seems that taking refuge in Tang Zhongyuan has become the best choice.

Sun Baigu knew that many of his generals were already ready to move.

He didn't know why he didn't want to vote......

He was born as a civil official, read sages since he was a child, and learned to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country. At the age of twenty-six, he served in six departments and localities, and after the official reached the governor, he began to encircle and suppress the liukou.

When he first held the knife, Sun Baigu didn't expect that chasing a group of mud-legged people would become his life's work.

This is completely different from his original ambition to study and govern the country.

The so-called 'out of the general into the phase', out of the general, he has never been in the phase again.

The first time he killed someone, he killed the grain official of Yongcheng, because he was greedy for ink and grain, Sun Baigu cut him down with a knife.

He didn't know martial arts originally, but he could chop and chop.

In the plague last year, he personally killed the general who was hiding in the barracks to recuperate, and it was an old soldier who had followed him for 16 years.

Sixteen years of life and death were cut off with a knife, and the old man didn't say a word, and Sun Baigu didn't say a word.

Since then, the rain of arrows on the Datong City has not stopped, and the bodies of the fleeing patients are densely spread outside the Datong city wall......

The young civil servant who once held a book and read a book walked through the sea of corpses and blood, and he had already become hard-hearted.

He chased Tang Zhongyuan for half his life and defeated Tang Zhongyuan countless times.

But Tang Zhongyuan can lose countless times, but he Sun Baigu can't afford to lose once.

For this Chu Dynasty, he gave up his ambition, his humanity, and everything he had. Now, as long as it loses this time, the Chu Dynasty will die.

And this time, it was clear that it was a loss.

"To live is to live to be a joke." Sun Baigu laughed at himself, and suddenly asked, "Do you think the Chu Dynasty's qi is exhausted?" ”

That's really not much to ask.

"The Chu Dynasty has accumulated deep evils." Lao Zhao said, "The rise and fall of heaven is determined, and the prosperity and decline are based." The commander goes against the trend, even if the hero is in the world, he is powerless to return to the sky. ”

"The trapped beast is still fighting, and there must be someone in the world who goes against the trend...... So? Are you a Tang thief who was inserted into the Datong army to persuade the old man to surrender? ”

Lao Zhao said: "I have been in Datong for three months, and the governor has stayed with me, but he has always refused to trust him, so did he think? ”

The showdown was a bit sudden.

Sun Baigu knew that Lao Zhao had something to say when he went to the city, so he responded lightly: "It's rare that the old man can't find out who you are, and you are not a Tang thief, so His Majesty sent you to test the old man?" ”

One sentence is an understatement. But for Sun Baigu, he loyally killed the enemy all his life, but he never won the king's trust, and only he understood the bitterness......

"In the next identity, it will probably be laughable and generous to say it." Lao Zhao smiled bitterly, "I'm from the royal family in the capital. ”

"Which royal family?"

"The Wang family who sells wine."

Sun Baigu: "......"

He obviously hadn't heard of anything from the Wang family or the Wang family.

- I thought this was a powerful character, but I don't know where the kitten and puppy came from......

"My master Wang Zhen is the eldest brother of Huaiyuanhou."

Sun Baigu was still expressionless.

He had heard about the epidemic prevention in the capital, and he had also heard that Wang Xiao had gone to Liaodong, but he didn't know much about it.

Lao Zhao was a little embarrassed for a while.

"I came to ask the commander to return to Beijing at the right time to force Jiannu to retreat."

Sun Baigu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes flashed with some vigilance.

A colt who meddled in the military affairs of Xuanda? Things are a little weird.

Lao summoned the detective into his arms, and said in his mouth: "There is a letter written by the Marquis of Huaiyuan here, I hope the governor will look at it......"

"Take it!"

Sun Baigu shouted, and someone pressed the call.

Lao Zhao did not resist, and knelt down on one knee quite obediently to let others press it, and honestly watched Sun Baigu open the letter.

~~

“…… The younger generation wanted to break into the hinterland of Jiannu with 30,000 iron horses, stir up its rear, dig the graves of old slaves, and break the palace city of Shenyang...... will do everything to force the slave chieftain to come back to help. ”

"However, if there is any disharmony, I would like to ask the commander to temporarily throw away Xuanda and return to the Beijing Division. There is no need for the commander to fight to the death, just to deploy troops in the capital division, and the slave chief will retreat......"

"Tang Zhongyuan's juniors also have arrangements to force Jiannu to retreat, and he will not be allowed to attack the Beijing division. The commander must remember that he must not fight with Tang Zhongyuan, and the war will be taken advantage of by the slave chiefs......"

Because I don't know when the commander will return to the defense, for fear of leaking the news, the younger generation did not send King Qin's summoning order to Xuanda first. However, Zuo Shoufu has been filed with the Ministry of War, and after the fact, he should be held responsible, leaving his post without permission, and losing the city defense, if this is the case, the younger generation and Zuo Shoufu will bear it together, and they will not let the commander be implicated, but they will not worry about the future......"

"This matter must be done as soon as possible, once Jiannu breaks through Jizhen, and then rushes back to help, it will be a big stop! The princes of the DPRK and China acted ineffectively and did not know about the military affairs. And the timing is like a white horse......"

"This move, if it is about personal honor, the commander can take the opportunity to throw away the humiliation of losing Xuanda and repel the honor of Jiannu. If it is about the future and life, the commander can use this to shrink the defense line and defend the Beijing division with all his might. ”

"If you talk about the country and the world, the outside or the inside, the ripe light and heavy, the ripe slow and urgent? At this critical moment, the social and social leaders were all in the direction of the commander, and the beggar commander pondered deeply......"

"Chu Yuma, Huaiyuan Marquis Wang smiled, and repeatedly ......"

After reading a long letter, Sun Baigu was speechless for a long time.

Lao Zhao said again: "The Hou Ye who should be said should have said it in the letter, but I still want to persuade the commander to say a few words." With the status of the marquis today, what is the difficulty of getting the imperial court to summon the governor to return to Jingqinwang? I was afraid that I would go out of my way and miss a big event, so I asked me to persuade me openly and honestly, and implore the Governor to ......"

Sun Baigu glanced at Lao Zhao lightly, and took two steps back and forth with the letter.

He had always acted decisively, but he hesitated on this matter.

Did Wang Xiao collude with Tang Shun to deceive himself?

Let go of Xuanda and let Tang go against the border, it is impossible for His Majesty to allow it......

Once the army is pulled back to Beijing, His Majesty Long Yan is furious, which is a serious crime of privately transferring the army......

"Did you come back from the capital to explore the horses?!" Sun Baigu shouted.

"Report to the governor, there is no ...... yet"

~~

Seeing his hesitation, Lao Zhao persuaded again: "Commander, my master has contacted Zuo Shoufu, and King Qin's summoning order will arrive soon, please make preparations as soon as possible." ”

"Shut up! Let me think. ”

When the city was closed, only the sound of Sun Baigu pacing back and forth sounded.

"Report, Governor, here ......"

Lao Zhao was overjoyed and shouted: "Commander, I didn't lie to you, King Qin's summons is here." ”

"Is there an edict?" Sun Baigu asked Tanma.

"I didn't ...... No, only Di Bao. ”

Sun Baigu took the letter, but his face changed again and again, first with great joy and then great sorrow, and then with a wave of his hand, the newspaper fell in front of Lao Zhao's eyes.

Lao Zhao's eyes looked over one by one.

"Master Hou really dug the grave of the old slave, Commander, you can ......"

The next moment, he saw Yongping Mansion being slaughtered......

The next moment, he saw the news that Zuo Jinglun was guilty of suing the old man.

The head of the cabinet was replaced by ...... He Liangyuan.

- There is no more summoning order from King Qin?

"Commander, my eldest young master must have arrangements, you can rest assured that you can return to Beijing......"

"Shut up! Come, take him down! ”

"Governor, listen to me......"

~~

When the city was closed, Sun Baigu took out Wang Xiao's letter again and glanced at it.

"The princes of the DPRK and China have acted ineffectively and do not know the military affairs...... I hope that the commander dares to risk the disapproval of the world, be brave and arbitrary, and don't worry! ”
