Zhao Fan pressed his forehead and said softly, "Let's go, go to the city and take a look." ”

Xu Yong took Zhao Fan and Qiao Xinchao to climb the wall of the south city wall of Luoyang, stood in the city tower and looked out, sure enough, it was a black cavalry, and everywhere he looked, there were all soldiers of Qin Zongquan's army, overwhelming, making people feel daunted.

Zhao Fan turned his head sideways, looked at several other directions in Luoyang, and frowned, "Have there been enemy troops in the other city gates?" ”

Xu Yong said in a deep voice, "No, there are no enemy troops in the other directions, they should want to drive us out of the city, and then force us to fight a decisive battle." ”

"It seems that this Sun Ru wants me to completely wipe me out in Luoyang." Zhao Fan slammed the city wall and said hatefully, "This old bastard is too cunning. ”

"Lord Wang, then we simply won't leave!" Xu Yong shook the dagger in his hand and said viciously, "Anyway, there is food and drink in this city, enough for the brothers to support them for a year and a half, they are all cavalry, and they can't fly to the city to fight us." ”

"What do you think, I don't want to die here." Zhao Fan scolded, "They can't attack the city now, but what about the follow-up troops?" Can we still resist it? Once we are trapped and dead, there is no one to save us, we must find a way to get out of here as soon as possible. ”

"Or else?" Xu Yong glanced at Zhao Fan hesitantly, and said uncertainly, "When it's dark, let's put cotton cloth on the horse's hooves and sneak out?" ”

"General Xu, things are not as simple as you think." Qiao Xinchao shook his head lightly and said, "We were able to take Luoyang City, it was entirely because of the surprise and the laxity of the defenders that we took advantage of the loopholes, but this time is different, the enemy's sentry will definitely not simply wander around Luoyang, and will never leave us any chances." Moreover, we have a lot of things to transport, as well as the old and young of the Wei family, and the target moves slowly. ”

Xu Yong scratched his head and said, "What should I do then?" ”

"The enemy is waiting for us to sneak out of the city, after all, if we attack the city directly, I'm afraid they may not be able to withstand such large casualties, but once they fall into the field, with our little men, I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand the enemy's charge." Zhao Fan said helplessly.

"Lord Wang, the villain has an idea." Qiao Xinchao suddenly leaned into Zhao Fan's ear and said softly, "The rebels have arranged their troops at the south gate, and the rest of the directions will deal with some patrols, there are not too many troops, if we don't go out of the city, they won't move, but once we go out of the city, they will follow, half-crossing, the villain thinks, we can attack the east and west, the plank road in the open, and the darkness in Chencang." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Fan frowned and said, "Mr. Qiao, please speak?" ”

"Let's do this, let's do this, step by step." Qiao Xinchao clapped his palms and said with some pride, "The prince can drive the people in the city, drive the carts out of the city gates, and wait until the enemy army divides his troops to pursue, and then we will wait for the opportunity to break through, and by the time the enemy finds that those are just ordinary people, we have already fled." ”

"Good!" Xu Yong slapped his hands fiercely, and shouted with some excitement, "Mr. Qiao has a good plan, what a golden cicada out of his shell!" ”

"You're big!" Zhao Fan slapped Xu Yong on the head and slapped his helmet to the side.

"It's a good plan, but you forgot, outside, but that Qin Zongquan's beastly army, do you think they will let the people in the city go? When the time comes, it will inevitably be another killing. Zhao Fan withdrew his somewhat reddened hand, shook it painfully, and said slowly, "General Xu, Mr. Qiao, we are all soldiers of the Tang Empire, how can we use the people of the Tang Empire as a shield to sacrifice them in exchange for our stealing life?" ”

"Imperial soldiers, should protect the family and defend the country as their own responsibility, protect the people of the empire as their duty, the sage once said, the people are precious, the community is secondary, the monarch is light, if the people of the empire need our protection, even if it is at the expense of our lives, we must do it, this is our sacred mission as soldiers, you as imperial soldiers, you should remember it."

"Yes, lord, villain remember."

"Yes, my lord, I will keep it in mind."

Qiao Xinchao lowered his head deeply, his eyes were full of relief, and at this moment he finally confirmed that Zhao Fan was the person he wanted to follow.

In fact, his plan is very simple, that is, to use the lives of innocent people in the city in exchange for their own chance to escape, this is a poisonous plan, a desperate plan, once Zhao Fan chooses to do this, he, as an important member of the royal family, will be spurned by the world's corporal clan and despised by the people.

And Qiao Xinchao will also leave Zhao Fan silently afterwards, after all, a vicious and selfish person is not worth following him.

And Xu Yong's eyes when he looked at Zhao Fan began to become different, although he was a little ignorant about the things that Zhao Fan proposed, but he subconsciously felt that the prince was a good person, a good person who made decisions for the people and put the people first.

Zhao Fan is actually not that great, he sacrifices his life for others, but he can't do it, he sacrifices other people's lives for himself.

The main thing that has the greatest impact on finding is the salt corpses in the warehouse, although people have been arranged to be buried, but it has given Zhao Fan a new understanding of the cruelty of this world.

Originally, Zhao Fan thought that after rescuing Joey, he would leave Luoyang City immediately, but what he didn't expect was that the enemy would come so quickly.

It was so fast that he didn't even have time to react, and he didn't have time to make any arrangements.

As a result, Zhao Fan is now unable to leave Luoyang City, if he leaves Luoyang City at this time, no matter whether they can escape safely or not, I am afraid that the people in Luoyang City will be wiped out.

After all, the opponent was not an ordinary feudal town, but Qin Zongquan, who was mad and famous for his cannibalism.

"Lord, if you can't give up the people of this city, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to get out." Qiao Xinchao glanced at Zhao Fan thoughtfully, and said with some unwillingness to be tentative.

Zhao Fan glanced at Qiao Xinchao deeply, looking at this guy nodding his head, he really had the feeling of a dog-headed military advisor, with a slender face and two mustaches, it was exactly the same as those masters on TV in his previous life.

"Mr. Qiao, don't test me, I won't ignore the people in order to save my life, I will mention it again at this time." Zhao Fan smiled strangely, he didn't believe that a person who dared to work hard for the sake of the villagers, and only secretly lived for revenge, would give him such a bad idea, this old man really has a lot of fancy intestines.

Qiao Xinchao smiled wryly and did not continue to speak.

"Alright, General Xu, gather the whole army and prepare for pre-war mobilization."

"Yes, Lord Wang!"
