Plans are being denied, more and more people are getting anxious, and more and more people are finding it difficult to stand the status quo.

Suddenly, I don't know who said, "Unless you can say that these people who lead the troops will also rebel together."

A word woke up the person in the dream, and suddenly someone mentioned something.

"I have a friendship with Qiao Rui, and when I took the time to talk to him before, I heard that he seemed to have confidence in whether Shouchun City could be held, saying that the 100,000 army was defeated, and the remaining remnants of the defeated army would not survive, and Shouchun would be conquered sooner or later."

This person slowly spoke: "Unlike Ji Ling, Ji Ling was blinded by Guo Zifeng's command because one eye was shot, so he hated Guo Zifeng to the core, and he would never surrender, but Qiao Rui is different, Qiao Rui may be the only person we can talk about." ”

"At present, the city defense is tense, Qiao Rui may not be free, when Qiao Rui is free, let's go and test it, naturally we have to make certain preparations here, all in all, we must not sit still, when necessary, we must also help Guo Zifeng win Shouchun!"

The white-headed old man paused fiercely with the cane in his hand.

It felt as if Guo Peng had heard their call, and the next day Guo Peng stopped the siege, giving the soldiers a day off to recuperate, eating some good food to replenish their physical strength, and attacking the city for several days in a row was indeed a great burden for the soldiers.

Then the big families in the city found an opportunity and heard that Qiao Rui went back to his house to take a bath and recuperate, so they asked Qiao Rui's friend Feng Guo, the son of the Feng clan in the city, to visit Qiao Rui's mansion.

Feng Guo came to Qiaorui Mansion and saw that half of the houses in Qiaorui Mansion had been demolished, and a lot of stones and timber had been transported out of his mansion.

Feng Guo smiled secretly in his heart, and soon followed him to Qiao Rui's study.

Although he was born in the army, Qiao Rui still likes to read, and reads whenever he has time, which can be called a model of uncontrollable books, although I don't know if he can read anything.

Holding a volume of "Spring and Autumn", Qiao Rui was reading, and when he saw Feng Guo coming, he enthusiastically stepped forward to greet Feng Guo.

"Uncle Yuan, long time no see."

"General Bridge, long time no see, hahaha!"

"Hahaha, good you Feng Shuyuan."

Qiao Rui has a good relationship with him, and has maintained a relationship since he arrived in Shouchun, Feng is a scholar clan, and he is quite prestigious in the Shouchun area, and he is willing to make friends with Qiao Rui, and Qiao Rui is also very happy.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and a servant came to bring a drink, and after the servant left, Feng Guo started a conversation with him.

"I thought that only those of us would be demolished, but I didn't expect that even the General's Mansion would be demolished?"

Qiao Rui's face suddenly collapsed.

"What can I do? When General Lu was here, he took the lead in demolishing his own home, how could we people be embarrassed to say that we would not demolish it? Now it is the crown prince who has ordered, and to disobey the crown prince is to disobey His Majesty, what do you want us to do? Tear it down, tear it down, it doesn't matter anyway. ”

Qiao Rui shook his head and sighed: "Guo Zifeng attacked the city sharply, without General Lu, the entire city defense was in chaos, and Guo Zifeng hit the city wall several times, if we didn't bring our own soldiers to press back, this city is already surnamed Guo." ”

Seeing Qiao Rui's depressed appearance, Feng Guo asked quietly: "Guo Zifeng's soldiers and horses are said to be particularly good at fighting, is it true?" ”

"Really, it's not false at all, well-equipped, well-trained, very skillful in tactics, very smooth in cooperation with each other, and very strong, everyone is tall and big, presumably because he eats very well, and I don't know where Guo Zifeng got so much food to supply the army, and he can also let the army eat meat."

Qiao Rui shook his head again and again: "The armament can't be compared, the number of people can't be compared, the grain and grass can't be compared, and the training can't be compared, how can this battle be fought?" In this way, General Lu has been working hard since he returned to Shouchun, trying his best to resist Guo Zifeng, we all see it, how can he rebel? ”

Seeing Qiao Rui's dissatisfied and chilled look, Feng Guo secretly applauded.

"Yes, how could General Lu rebel? We all know that if General Lu wants to rebel, he will do it a long time ago, how can he wait until now? It's a pity that the emperor is always suspicious of the generals who lead the troops, but this is too late, right? ”

Feng Guo echoed Qiao Rui, causing dissatisfaction in Qiao Rui's heart.

"Who's to say it isn't? At the moment of the great enemy, it is taboo for soldiers to take down the commander first, and change the commander in battle, which will shake the heart of the army, and His Majesty is also the one who leads the troops, how can he be so confused? ”

Qiao Rui couldn't help complaining.

"Because now His Majesty is not a general, but an emperor, and an emperor and a general, that's not the same."

Feng Guo said quietly, which immediately made Qiao Rui stunned.

That's right, Yuan Shu is not the general he used to be.

He is an emperor, and he will use the thinking of an emperor to consider problems from the perspective of an emperor, not the thinking of a general.

"What the emperor thinks is completely different from what the general thinks, isn't it natural to do such a thing?"

Feng Guo said again, and Qiao Rui sighed deeply, his face full of bitterness.

"I don't know how long this city will be defended."

"If the city is broken, have you thought about the consequences?"

Feng Guo looked at Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui shook her head.

"Don't think about it, I will definitely die, I am the general of the dynasty, and I will not escape death."

"Aren't you worried about your family? Don't think about your family? ”

Feng Guo looked very worried: "Daqiao and Xiaoqiao have reached the age of marriage, right?" Doesn't it matter to them? ”

Qiao Rui suddenly looked worried.

He doesn't care in any way, but if he dies, his family and beloved daughter will become the spoils of the enemy, and they will be ravaged in every way, and life is worse than death.

No one understands better than him what happens when a woman loses her protection in troubled times.

He'd seen it happen countless times.

There was a faint pain in his heart, and some kind of foreseeable future made him feel extremely frightened.

"But what can I do? I am the general of the Chen State, I will definitely die for the Chen State, and I have no way out. ”

Qiao Rui clenched his fists: "I will take them to die together, so that they will not suffer, once they are over, there will be no pain, and in the next life, they will be reincarnated in a scholar's house, and they will be safe and stable for a lifetime, without disasters." ”

It's really sad that even death can be a time of liberation.

Feng Guo couldn't help but sigh.

"But this is not the fault of the Qiao family, this is the mistake of the Yuan family, why should the Qiao family, the Lu family, and my Feng family be martyred together? I, Feng, have never been out of office, and as a result, I will be treated like this, my house will be demolished, my house will be demolished, and my family's money and slaves will be taken away to defend the city, what is this? ”

Feng Guo said a little angrily: "Anyway, I don't know why, I originally wanted to find you to deal with me for me, but as a result, I can't even escape the General's Mansion, what else can I say?" ”

Qiao Rui shook her head and sighed.

"It's come to this, Shuyuan, let's look away, you haven't been out of office, maybe there is still a chance to survive, ...... then"

Qiao Rui's eyes lit up: "If I entrust my family to you, can you protect my family for me?" I entrust you with all the rest of my family property, and my family, too. ”

Qiao Rui held Feng Guo's hand.

Feng Guo's heart was moved for a while, thinking of Qiao Rui's wife's beautiful figure, as well as the national color of his two daughters, he wanted to agree impulsively, but suddenly remembered his mission, and could only forcibly suppress the desire in his heart.

"I won't do this kind of thing, I hope you can survive by yourself and protect your family by yourself, instead of leaving it to me to do, and in such a chaotic situation, who dares to say that you can definitely save your family? I don't dare to bear such a heavy burden. ”
