"Don't worry, I will support your mother."

The veteran listened to the panic in his heart, and could only nod his head in response.

When Lao Wu heard this, he was immediately satisfied, and his palm loosened and fell.

Seeing this, the veteran only felt panic in his heart, but he just grabbed the other party's hand tightly, and at this moment he could still feel the residual temperature of the other party's body.

The rest of the veterans on the side watched this scene silently.

I have seen many lives and deaths, but when I see them, I still can't breathe in people's hearts.

The crowd fell silent at this time.

There were too many dead in tonight's battle, and there was still a battle waiting for them.

To be honest, no one can guarantee that they will be able to survive smoothly.

......

"Urgent report, Yanran City is besieged!"

A cavalryman hurriedly broke into the imperial capital, and hurried to the palace, his lips chapped, but he couldn't drink a sip of water.

In the palace hall, all the ministers were discussing important matters, and when they suddenly heard an urgent report, they all subconsciously looked outside the palace.

Then they saw a soldier hurrying into the main hall.

"Yanran City has an urgent report, a Jurchen clan led more than 4,000 people to attack our city, please ask the emperor to send reinforcements."

The soldier reported urgently.

The minister was silent, and the soldier handed over the urgent report, and only after the emperor had read it did he speak.

"Yanran City is besieged, what do you think?"

Emperor Yunmo looked at the ministers below.

The ministers glanced at each other and immediately understood what the emperor meant.

"Yanran City is too far away from Chengzhou Kingdom, so it is not suitable to send troops to rescue."

"Four thousand Jurchens, I'm afraid that even if you send troops to rescue Yanran City, it no longer exists, so there is really no need to send troops."

After thinking for a moment, several ministers spoke.

"How can you not send troops to the rescue? Yanran City is the land of the Chengzhou State, and now that it encounters foreign enemies, if I don't send troops, won't it damage the prestige of the Chengzhou State? ”

When the imperial historian on the side heard this, he immediately stood up and said angrily.

In his opinion, this is simply ridiculous.

Knowing that Yanran City was besieged, he actually thought about not sending troops to rescue, where was there such a thing?

"Sending troops to the rescue? Where is it so simple? Do you know how much food you will need once you send out your troops? Last year's attack on Star Han City did not have any results, but instead consumed hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Now Xinghan City is eyeing the tiger, and those vassal kings are not very honest, at this time send troops to rescue, and the Jurchen tribe is the enemy, if it is ambushed halfway, the Zhou country is in danger! ”

When the military department Shangshu heard this, he immediately stood up and said in a deep voice.

The state of Chengzhou can no longer afford to fight at present.

Xinghan City is already well aware of the fact that it is not bad and kind to the Chengzhou Kingdom, and the same is true of those vassal kings.

This is also the situation of being attacked by the enemy, if the troops are sent at this time and the Jurchen clan is mixed together, who knows if it will drag the Chengzhou Kingdom into the abyss?

For the sake of such a small border city, it is really irrational to send troops to rescue.

The ministers all know this situation, and even the emperor means this.

Today's Chengzhou State is no longer suitable for sending troops, even if this Yanran City is lost, it will be lost, and there is not much loss.

In practical terms, I just don't want to waste national strength because of this city.

The veteran below trembled when he heard this, he never thought that this would be the result.

The soldiers on the other side of Yanran City are still waiting for him to move back reinforcements, if there are no reinforcements, then Yanran City will be broken.

But he didn't dare to talk much, as long as he dared to have half a complaint, one contempt for the imperial power was enough to kill his head.

In the main hall, there are still arguments.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor is not ready to send troops to rescue at all.

The ministers quarreled like this just to save a little face for each other and for the court.

Otherwise, when the foreign enemy comes, they will unanimously not send troops and don't care about this city, which is really too embarrassing.

The soldier fainted, and was carried down.

When he woke up, he was told that the court was still arguing, but in fact it was just an argument, and it was actually impossible to send troops.

The veteran learned the news, got up numbly, thought for a long time, and then left.

He's going back, even if he doesn't send troops, and he's going to be with his brethren.

When he arrived at the border stop, the veteran gritted his teeth and begged to see the guard.

Now if you want to say that there is anyone else who has a chance to save Yanran City, it is none other than the guard.

The guards received the veterans, in the tent of the barracks.

"General, thousands of people in Yanran City are in danger, beg the general to send troops to rescue!"

The veteran knelt down directly, with tears in his eyes.

When the general above heard this, his face was a little strange, a little helpless and a little sad.

"Please forgive me for not being able to do anything."

The general opened his mouth, then said slumpedly.

"General, sending troops is just a matter of your order, why can't you send troops?"

is also a soldier, and the general in front of him should feel the same way, why can't the other party send troops?

"There is only so much grain and grass in the army, there is no surplus grain and grass supplement before the war, not to mention that the general's duty is to guard the border fortress, and rashly transferring troops to the expedition will make the border fortress troops empty, which is a big taboo.

What's more, Ben General did not receive the holy order to send troops, and rashly sending troops is no different from rebellion. ”

He was also helpless.

If he could, he would naturally want to send troops to rescue, but this dispatch of troops can be easily done with a single sentence.

At present, the news is that the Jurchen tribe is besieging the city with 4,000 people, but who knows if there are any other people on the other side?

What if someone is in ambush on the way?

And the transportation of grain and grass, and the transportation of baggage must be taken into account, right?

It's not that simple to open an army.

As a defender, he has too many things to consider, and Xinghan City is eyeing him.

He can't send troops at will.

The veteran was silent when he heard this, he finally knew what he was asking for, these people would not send troops.

They are also soldiers of the Chengzhou Kingdom, and they worked hard to defend the city for the Chengzhou Kingdom, but now they are directly abandoned.

If this news is brought back, their morale will dissipate directly.

They were all waiting for him to return with reinforcements, but now he didn't.

The veteran got up, he was not ready to kneel, he wanted to go back to Yanran City.

"Wait."

Seeing that the veteran was leaving, the general also knew what the other party meant, and directly stopped the other party.

"The rest can't help, but Yanran City has been besieged for nearly a month, and there is a shortage of food, so let's bring some food back."

He didn't have any other options, and that's all he could do.

When the veteran heard this, he wanted to refuse, but he thought that in Yanran City, he often cut off his military salary, so he accepted it at this moment.

It's better to go home with a little food than nothing.
