Chapter 398: Heading to the Longyuan Mountain Range
Everyone looked at the prefect with puzzled eyes, why did the prefect deny it so refreshingly, could it be that there were any unknown secrets about the events of the year?
"I was the one who was in charge of going to reinforcements. The prefect said helplessly.
"General, reinforcements have arrived!" "General Zhennan, who was stubbornly defending, his eyes had begun to blur a little.
The white world in front of me has begun to make people dizzy, and I don't know where the next step will be.
I heard that reinforcements are coming, so is there a better chance of survival on your own?
"Kill!"
The earth-shattering shout made General Zhennan's spirit sober up a little, and the reinforcements really arrived.
"Brothers, take your last breath! Let's rush forward and avenge our dead brethren!" General Zhennan stood up again, his wounds ropen again, and blood flowed profusely.
But what can this be? What are these wounds compared to those brothers who died on the battlefield?
So everyone took up their arms again, cheered up, and together with the reinforcements, drove the foreign army back more than ten miles.
"General! Withdraw! They withdrew! We won!"
There was good news from the front, but General Zhennan couldn't really hear it anymore, he breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed under the panicked eyes of everyone.
"No matter what method you use, you must keep General Zhennan!"
The person who said this was the prefect who was young and vigorous back then, and now his blood is especially cold.
"My lord, the corpses have been liquidated, and General Zhennan has 10,000 soldiers, and now there are only 50 left. "The liquidation report over there also came out, and only fifty of the ten thousand remained.
The rest of the loyal souls are buried in the Longyuan Mountain Range.
"Find all their bodies for me, and we'll take them home. The prefect's eyes were sour, and he endured his grief and said to his subordinates.
If they had come earlier, wouldn't they have to endure it for so long, they would be too tired.
"When the foreigners retreated, they set a fire, and the faces of those corpses were no longer visible, and they could only be identified by the armor on their bodies. ”
When the prefect at that time heard this, he hit the wall in a circle, and the tears finally couldn't stop flowing.
The atmosphere became a little sad, and the heroes ended up without even a complete corpse, how could this be explained to their fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters?
"They are all the great heroes of our dynasty! ”
After listening to the prefect's words, everyone fell silent again.
"Godfather, I think there is something strange about this matter, why did the other party set a fire to the corpse? Is it trying to cover up the truth?" Although He Jingjing also sighed for what happened to the soldiers after hearing this, the doubts in her heart still couldn't be solved.
"Haixuan, if you are asked to lead 10,000 troops to resist an army of 300,000, can you support it for five days when the grain and grass are cut off?" He Jingjing turned to ask Ye Haixuan again.
"No, you can't. Ye Haixuan said categorically.
Even with the most tenacious will, there is no way to continue fighting in the case of malnutrition.
What's more, the other side has an army of 300,000, which can attack the city day and night, and within a day, the entire city tower will collapse.
"Godfather, I think there are too many suspicions, this Zhennan general is very suspicious. ”
He Jingjing summed up her own views again, thinking that the story of General Zhennan's 10,000 horses resisting 300,000 troops at that time was too legendary, and the fire set by the enemy country before leaving was also inexplicable, as if it was really to cover up the truth.
The prefect was silent, if it was really what Jingjing said, then General Zhennan would be responsible for the matter of privately setting up personal soldiers.
The prefect is not a person who shirks responsibility, but the events back then were too touching, and the prefect still feels that it is not easy to be a hero, and it is not like wronging them even a little bit.
"If it's really as Jingjing said, then the matter is too complicated, but ......"
The prefect sighed and did not say any more.
"Now the map and the story of General Zhennan are combined, which makes me have to think about it more, and I suspect that General Zhennan colluded with the enemy country to deliberately create such an illusion. ”
"In this way, General Zhennan can become a great hero praised by everyone, and second, General Zhennan can gain the trust of the emperor. When people reach a certain height, it is much easier to do things. ”
After listening to He Jingjing's analysis, everyone was enlightened.
"This matter, really, it's incredible......" He Xiaoxiao was the first to sigh.
"I can't imagine that the imperial sister is so delicate, I really admire it. After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finished speaking, he bowed to He Jingjing, which was a salute to the elders.
Ye Haixuan hugged He Jingjing in his arms, with a look of honor, and it was pleasant to be the man behind a woman.
"Jingjing, I didn't expect that one of your daughters could have this kind of wisdom, my godfather is really inferior to you. The prefect smiled a little reluctantly, after all, it was the Longyuan Mountain Range that he had personally visited, and now he suddenly learned that he might have been used, and the prefect was naturally very uncomfortable.
"Godfather, I can't blame you for this matter, everything is still inconclusive, and I'm just guessing. If it is true, as I said, General Zhennan hid these 10,000 soldiers and horses as his own soldiers, then this matter cannot be blamed on your head. ”
The prefect nodded, although this is the truth, his words back then did have a lot of maintenance for General Zhennan, and the prefect's mood was still very complicated.
He Jingjing didn't say much when she saw this, and went directly to the kitchen to make a sugar water supper for the adults.
Eating He Jingjing's double-skin milk and taro balls, the prefect's heart felt a little better.
"You are all stained with godfather's light today, otherwise you would never have eaten such a sugar water supper. He Jingjing saw that everyone was eating happily, and joked.
"Thank you, Lord Prefect, for letting me shine. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bowed to the prefect, who shook his head and finally smiled.
"Godfather, the past is over, all we need to do is find out the truth, give an explanation to the people and the emperor. After He Jingjing was relieved, the prefect said that he felt much better.
Who hasn't been deceived when they're young? Who hasn't met a few scumbags who are heartbroken!
"The sugar water has been eaten, the story has been heard, and the time is not too early, you should go back to sleep and go to sleep, and the rest will be talked about tomorrow." ”
Although the prefect has eaten sugar water and his spirit has improved a lot, he is old after all, and he has used his brain for a day to toss and toss, and now he yawns and keeps talking, and he persuades everyone.
"Your Excellency, we'll take our leave. ”
