Chapter 677: Life is Frustrated and Nothing North and South (19)
Regardless of whether they win or lose in the end, the land they are holding on to now is very likely to be given away!
Yes, Su Ming felt that Du Weizhen's affairs had something to do with Ji Jingsheng, otherwise he wouldn't know it in such detail and so quickly, even faster than he knew! I wonder if it is a shocking conspiracy planned by him and Du Chenliang.
Su Ming gritted his teeth with hatred for Ji Jingsheng, and when he woke up the next day, the anger not only did not go down, but the less he went, the more prosperous he became, he directly burned his crumbling reason, and directly took the equally angry Kunguo soldiers out of the city, and the momentum was so fierce that he confronted the Cangguo soldiers who had been prepared for a long time.
I don't know if it's because of their high morale due to their anger is too high, they actually beat the other side to defeat and retreat, and they fled. If Su Ming was still sensible, he might still remember the truth of poor Kou Mo chasing, but now that he is red-eyed, all he thinks about is killing the other side to the point and avenging the emperor!
Until they stepped into someone else's trap, they were surrounded in a valley, and the huge stone gurgled and rolled down from a high place, Su Ming was directly smashed into the chest by one before he could dodge, and immediately spit out a mouthful of blood. He was like that, not to mention the other soldiers, and for a while, wails rang out.
Su Ming's mind was no longer clear, and at this time, he also understood that he had fallen into the trap of the enemy, so he was anxious and angry, and directly surrendered and retreated, and indeed successfully retreated, but Su Ming was seriously injured, and even lost a lot of soldiers, and the strength was greatly damaged, which can be described as a heavy loss, and this battle also caused a great blow to the military morale of the Kunguo soldiers, they had never fought such a defeat.
Ji Jingsheng also saw Su Ming's disappointment from this battle that was too easy to win, and he had very little grasp of this strategy, but during this time, the other party's retreat forced him to have no choice before he thought of this method, and he didn't expect it to have such a magical effect, which really shocked and excited him.
Maybe Su Ming already knew what was happening in the imperial city, Ji Jingsheng thought, his eyes flickered, and he thought about it.
He asked people to take the news of Du Weizhen's death in the Kunguo military camp, at first only a few people believed it, but thinking of Su Ming's abnormal behavior, he became more and more shaken, and the news also spread in the barracks, saying that the emperor was dead, the imperial city was turned upside down, and they had long been reduced to outcasts, and no one would pay attention to them no matter what the result was.
The more the news spread, the more people believed it, and the unstable morale of the army because of a rare defeat became even more shaky.
At the same time, Ji Jingsheng launched a surprise attack, and they quickly attacked the White Egret City, and Su Ming had to retreat to Qizhou City in order to protect the overall situation before he could recover from his injuries.
Ji Jingsheng quickly occupied Egret City, immediately imprisoned all the people who had not had time to evacuate, and then sent people to find Su Ming, threatening Su Ming to surrender with the lives of those people.
After Su Ming received the news, he immediately became angry, and spit out a mouthful of blood angrily, he left too quickly, and he didn't have time to withdraw all the people, he originally planned to rescue the other group after settling down, but he didn't expect Ji Jingsheng to act so much, and he mastered Egret City in such a quick time, directly kept the people, and threatened them with their lives.
Su Ming can't put the lives of the people on the line, but surrender is absolutely impossible.
He was still injured, and he was worried about Du Weizhen in his heart, but now he was agitated by this incident, his health was getting worse and worse, the injury has not been good, and even the wound has not scabbed for a long time, and the general doctor is also anxious, and frequently persuaded him: "General Su, I know that you are worried about the emperor and the people of Egret City, but your physical safety is related to the final victory of this war. ”
Su Ming felt that what he was talking was nonsense, and pushed him away with a very bad face: "Do you think I don't know!" But I'm in a hurry, the emperor has no news, and the people are in such a desperate situation because of my mistakes, do you think I can live in peace? ”
He said angrily: "If this injury is not good, it is not good!" It's not a general trend, it's just rotten and just cut off, what's the use of keeping it? ”
The military doctor had a bitter face, "General Su, don't you say these things, the soldiers are waiting for you to get better, only you can lead me to victory, if you fall first, we will be almost the same." ”
Su Ming took a deep breath, and finally didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, stretched out his arm, squinted his eyes slightly, and said, "Take a look." ”
"Okay." The military doctor happily unwrapped the dirty bandage, applied the medicine and wrapped it with a new one.
Ji Jingsheng sent several letters urging Su Ming to make a decision, but this kind of major, about all the dead and living soldiers, how could a decision be made so easily? All Su Ming could do was wait a little longer and delay as much as he could.
At this time, the imperial city is still turbulent, and the small streets and avenues do not know when there will be such a group of people, wandering day and night, but they don't look like vagabonds, their eyes are very sharp, people dare not look directly, and every day they seem to be looking for someone, but to no avail.
This is Du Chenliang sent out to search for Du Weizhen and their subordinates, more than ten days have passed, there is still no news at all, Du Chenliang knows that Du Weizhen is very deal with them, especially Meng Fusheng and these people around him, if you want to find it, it will take a lot of effort, so you just put your mind on the puppet son who is still in Jingzhou, thinking that you will wait until you sit on the throne, so that if Du Weizhen wants to do anything in the future, he will have to cast a mouse bogey.
Many people have also noticed that Du Chenliang has recently made a lot of small moves in private, including the old ministers who are still supporting and not believing that Du Weizhen has died, they suspect that Du Chenliang is secretly doing something unfavorable to the country, and it is very likely to be related to Du Weizhen, so they began to pay attention to and secretly investigate, including the commander of the Xiaocai battalion.
They even met in private to discuss, and Wang Suping was among them.
Zhang Liqun, the commander of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, is a tall man of about forty, tall and big, with a loud voice, and a big grin, but he is very loyal, no matter how Du Chenliang coerces and seduces, he has never defected, and his heart is towards Du Weizhen. Du Chenhao has scolded him in private many times for lacking roots, but he can't help him, after all, a huge cavalry battalion is held in the hands of the world, how dare he act rashly? Zhang Liqun is no better than those civil servants who were assassinated by him.
