At such a critical juncture, the king of Jin urgently summoned Ren Ying and Meng to return to the capital, obviously, he was ready to retreat with his henchmen.

Because Xuzhou has been broken, even if Yangping Pass can still be held, how can it resist the pace of the Qin army.

If the king of Jin wants to withdraw, he must bring the harem concubines, the core backbone, the treasury gold and silver, and countless jewels.

This is equivalent to moving the capital, taking advantage of the fact that Qin Liang's second army has not yet reached the capital, and finding a way to retreat in advance.

But the Jin Kingdom is now surrounded by enemies, and it is impossible to go to the Huan Kingdom, Wu Chu is taking the opportunity to take his south, and if he goes to Yanling, there will be an imperial capital in the middle.

Just when King Jin thought that he was about to suffer a catastrophe and there was no way out, King Xuan, who had not made any move, suddenly sent an envoy to arrive.

After the Xuan envoy came, there was no nonsense, and he directly told the king of Jin that he could retreat to a county in the southeast of the Jin Kingdom, and at that time, there, the Xuan army would answer and help him defend the southeast.

The southeast county here can be said to be the last place of residence of the King of Jin.

In such a depressed situation, what the Xuan envoy said, it was simply the last straw, it is conceivable, how could King Jin not be excited, and immediately said: "Thank you King Xuan, thank you King Xuan——"

The envoy also said: "Where is it, the two kingdoms of Qin and Liang, the ambition of the wolf, my king has always been benevolent, how can he ignore the situation of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, if he can help, he will naturally help, and in the southeast county, with the century-old background of the Jin Kingdom, and the full support of my king, His Royal Highness why can't he return to the country." ”

"Okay, okay......" King Jin heard this, as if he saw the last hope.

This is the genius of King Xuan, he has been standing still before, waiting for today, if at the beginning, he is the same as Wu Chu, if he takes the opportunity to take the land, then the King of Jin will definitely not believe him, but now, only Xuanguo has not done anything unfavorable to Jin, and it has naturally become the last retreat of King Jin.

At the same time, Ren Ying and Meng Li began to retreat urgently, and Yangpingguan immediately became precarious.

At this time, in fact, the Liang army was closer to the Jin capital, and as soon as the Yangping Pass was broken, Xiao Yuan had to compete with the Liang King for time, because of the previous mutual alliance, the covenant was clear, whoever entered the Jin capital first, the Jin capital belonged to whom.

You must know that it is a century-old capital, how big, it is the political, economic, and cultural center of the Jin Kingdom, with developed commerce and a prosperous population.

And Xiao Yuan is also facing a problem at this time, that is, after Xuzhou, there is still a Guiyang, and he can only reach Jindu after taking Guiyang.

King Liang's side, similar to him, after Yangping Pass, there is also a Lindu.

The generals of the Qin army, all of whom knew the covenant, were a little anxious at this time, and began to persuade Xiao Yuan one after another, and quickly marched towards Guiyang, and directly attacked there with lightning speed, otherwise, in terms of distance, the Liang army would probably arrive first.

But at this time, Xiao Yuan made an unexpected move, while marching towards Guiyang, he also sent a military Chinese officer, riding a fast horse, starry night, and rushed to Lindu.

This civil official's name is Lu Fan, about thirty, he is a talent recruited by Xiao Yuan when he first entered Qin and issued a recruitment order, and he is currently the secretary of the army, although the official position is not big, but it can be regarded as the core personnel of the Qin army.

By the time he arrived, the Liang army had already broken through Yangping Pass, and it would only take two or three days to reach Lindu.

At this moment, Ren Ying and Meng Li had returned to the Jin capital, following the king of Jin, preparing to evacuate, and there was already a royal order coming from the Lindu, so that the officials who stayed behind quickly withdrew to the southeast county together with the royal court.

Lindu.

From this name, you can see its importance in the Jin Kingdom.

Because of the relationship of guarding the important places in the capital, there are 8,000 officers and soldiers here, called the Protector Army.

At this time, Liao Shuang, an officer of the Hufu Army, was also doing the final retreat work, wanting to rush to the southeast county and follow the royal court.

Now that the Jin State has reached this situation, the royal court has begun to move, and the local officials, there is nothing to say, how can Liao Shuang resist the Liang army.

In the Protector's Mansion, many people were busy, and Liao Shuang was also standing there, shouting something:

"Oops, don't move that!"

"Hurry up! Hurry up! ”

Apparently, he was packing up his belongings and preparing to run away.

But at this moment, there was a sudden military emergency outside.

"Report ~~~~~"

With a shout, a soldier hurriedly ran to Liao Shuang, knelt on one knee, and intervened: "General, the envoy of the Qin army knocked on the pass, saying that he had something important and asked to see the general." ”

"What?" Hearing this, Liao Shuang was puzzled and couldn't help but say: "Isn't the Qin army about to attack Guiyang, how could its envoy come here?" ”

"My subordinates don't know." The soldier replied.

Liao Shuang's brows furrowed, his official position was not very big, only five grades, but he was the only person in Lindu who had armed forces.

He couldn't understand why the Qin envoy came here, but after thinking about it, out of curiosity, he still said, "Bring him over." ”

"No!" The soldier took the order and left.

Half an hour later, the living room.

Liao Shuang and Lu Fan sat down, and after the sergeant served the tea, he also smiled slightly, and said, "Mr. said that he was the envoy of the Qin army?" ”

"Yes." Lu Fan replied: "In order to represent my king, I have come to discuss a major matter with the general. ”

"Oh? King Qin sent you? Liao Shuang's hand holding the teacup paused slightly.

Lu Fan said again: "Right now, there is a great merit in front of the general, but I don't know if the general is willing to take it." ”

"What? A great credit? Liao Shuang smiled and said: "The Jin Kingdom has reached this point, how can the credit be over, isn't Mr. joking with me?" ”

"Huh?" Lu Fan waved his hand and said, "As the general said, the Jin Kingdom has no power to return to the sky, rather than following the King of Jin to flee, it is better to find another way as soon as possible." ”

"What do you mean?" Liao Shuang asked in a condensed voice.

Lu Fan said unhurriedly: "Now, the Liang army is about to arrive in Lindu, as expected, the general is ready to abandon the city, but abandoning the city, why not abandon it makes more sense." ”

"Sir, please speak up." Liao Shuang became more and more confused.

Lu Fan continued: "Blocking the Liang army in Lindu, one day, only one day, for the general, it is only a gesture, but my king will definitely read the general's merits, and appoint the general to Puyang County Guard." ”

Hearing this, Liao Shuang seemed to understand something, and said with a faint smile: "What Mr. said is to let General Ben buy a day for King Qin." ”

Lu Fan said: "I don't deny this, and the general now, if he follows the king of Jin, even if he goes to the southeast county, then after that, it will be the day of exile, this point, the general knows that the so-called good birds choose trees and perch, such an opportunity, I think that if I miss it, wouldn't it be painful......"

The magistrate of a county, the important position of the third grade, and the official of the feudal territory, how can it be that Liao Shuang can be compared now.
