Chapter 387: Persuasion
"Mulong, how many brothers are left!"
"Back to the young master, it's less than 10,000!"
Mu Long is still used to calling Mu Qingchen a young master, not a general, in fact, if it goes on like this, let alone a young master, it is extremely difficult to pick up a life alive.
"Well, less than ten thousand!"
Mu Qingchen looked at Pingnan City not far away, his eyes flashed, it was quite complicated, the place he once held for himself, now he turned himself away, once his friend, and now he has become an enemy, thirty years of Hexi, thirty years of Hexi, so to speak, but in fact it is less than two years of hard work.
"Is there any news from the prince of Dali?"
After being silent for a long time, Mu Qingchen finally came back to his senses, and glanced at Mu Long who was still kneeling on the ground, the former Liuhe Wei was now falling apart, and he couldn't go back, only one Mu Long was left, and he was always by Mu Qingchen's side and never left.
"No, it's been two days, and there is no news at all, maybe they have successfully infiltrated Pingnan City, right?"
Mu Long shook his head, looked at Mu Qingchen's expression a little, and then spoke a little tentatively, it is true that there is no news, but in anyone's opinion, the situation is only bad or bad, Mu Qingchen can hear it, and he is not asking, in this way, it is just self-comfort, it is only out of concern for his father that Mu Qingchen has to ask.
If Mu En is no longer in the hands of the prince of Dali, maybe he did not follow the prince of Dali to Qinglong Gorge, Mu Qingchen does not have to worry so much, the siege of the city to the present, he has tried his best, benevolence and righteousness, 30,000 horses to attack a Pingnan City that is also defended by tens of thousands of people, two days of hard work, although he did not capture Pingnan City, but he also exhausted all methods, the soldiers under his command lost more than two-thirds, to this extent, that's all, you know, he is not facing others, it is Liu Fa who has not tasted defeat in the southwest!
"Newspaper, old master...... The old master has come out of Pingnan City! ”
Just when Mu Qingchen was still worried about his father's situation, suddenly an urgent report interrupted his thoughts, and a herald rushed in from outside the tent, his eyes full of apprehension and anxiety.
"What did you say?"
Mu Qingchen saw that this herald was so rude, he just frowned, and was about to get angry, when he suddenly heard the content of this herald's words, he was taken aback, and then strode forward and grabbed the herald who was kneeling on the ground.
"You say it again?"
He really couldn't believe it, he would rather his father have no news, and he didn't want his father to come out of Pingnan City at this moment, he was not stupid, what did Mu En represent when he came out of Pingnan City at this moment, he knew better than anyone else.
Seeing Mu Qingchen's angry appearance, the herald swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then trembled and pointed in the direction of the gate with his finger.
Mu Qingchen looked at his fingers, and sure enough, a person came out of Pingnan City on a horse, and slowly came in the direction of the camp.
"Humph!"
He didn't have time to pay attention to the herald, but he snorted coldly, threw the herald on the ground, and then strode in the direction of the gate, both apprehensive and surprised, and his mind was very complicated.
"Gurgle...... Gurgle......"
The horses' hooves were melodious, the camp was lonely, no one made a sound, they were all watching Mu En walk in the direction of Yuanmen, and Mu Qingchen did not put on his armor, and ran towards Mu En step by step.
At the head of the city, Liu Fa and Qing Yunfei stood side by side, and they were also quietly looking at Mu En and Mu Qingchen......
"General, why do you want this old thing to go back......
Qing Yunfei looked at Mu En's back in a complicated way, slightly puzzled, he didn't understand what Liu Fa thought, if he really wanted Mu Qingchen to surrender, catch Mu En to the city, and force Mu Qingchen to comply, why bother beating around the bush like this.
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this, I believe that Mu Qingchen will definitely surrender, and they have nowhere to escape!"
Liu Fa smiled very confidently, then turned his head again, glanced at Qing Yunfei, who was a little worried, and then explained: "If I arrest Mu En to the city and force Mu Qingchen to submit, Mu Qingchen will inevitably surrender, but he will definitely have resentment in his heart, he will not be able to shadow me behind my back, after all, his younger brother, the family members of his clan, have been poisoned by me, not to mention, although Mu En is a little cowardly, but I really do that, what he will do in the city, I am really not sure, If he jumps from the top of the city, I won't be in vain! ”
Qing Yunfei nodded, suddenly realized, and then said with admiration: "The general's foresight is really admirable!" ”
Hearing Qing Yunfei's nondescript words, Liu Fa's mouth shook, a little uncomfortable, this sycophant slapped really made him feel sorry, and then looked at Qing Yunfei's expression, Liu Fa really wanted to kick Qing Yunfei down.
"Alright, let's go down and rest, wait for the good news!"
Liu Fa didn't bother to bother with Qingyunfei, just rolled his eyes, then turned his head and walked down the city tower step by step, at this moment, Mu En had already entered the camp with Mu Qingchen, what else to see, the weather is getting colder and colder, it is better to go to the mansion under the city to drink some tea.
Under the city of Pingnan, the camp of the Mu family's army.
"Qingchen, you've lost a lot of weight, hurry up!"
Mu En glanced at Mu Qingchen, who was still kneeling, and helped him up, thinking that Mu Qingchen was his only relative in this world, he was extremely sad, in this life, he only had two sons, and before he could break up, his young son died tragically in the city, how could he not make him sad, seeing that his only son was haggard and very unenergetic, Rao was not good at words, and he was still very distressed and said a word of concern.
"Dad, I'm fine, it's good that you're alive, better than anything, better than anything!"
Mu Qingchen saw Mu En's old appearance, and his heart was also bitter, unconsciously, his father was already so old......
Compared to the safety of his family, everything seems so insignificant, Mu Qingchen doesn't want to ask why Mu En appeared in Pingnan City and will come out of Pingnan City, he just wants to accompany Mu En and talk a little more together.
Between the two men, there are always not so many words, and some topics are also difficult to develop, and as they talk, they fell silent again.
After a long time, Mu En finally spoke again: "Qingchen, I came out of Pingnan City, you should be able to guess, why is this?" ”
He glanced at his son and didn't say much, the words behind him were all nonsense, Mu Qingchen was not a fool, what he said was so obvious, Mu Qingchen wouldn't not understand.
"The prince of Dali...... Defeated? ”
Mu Qingchen nodded, he didn't know how to answer for a while, and after a long time, he finally held back a few words from his mouth, but there was a bit of complexity in his eyes.
"Liu Fa has already done a good job of ambush in Qinglong Gorge, the leading general is Nangong to control the anger, and when we enter the gorge, the stones and rolling wood, the fire oil arrows are countless, and the father is also a big fate, not burned to death, nor stoned, tens of thousands of horses died in the canyon, and twenty or thirty thousand horses have chosen to surrender, as for the prince of Dali, the two brothers took advantage of the chaos to return from the same way, and it is estimated that they are now also in the hands of Nangong to control the anger!"
Mu En didn't answer his son's question, he just told Mu Qingchen what he encountered in Qinglong Gorge, word by word, in fact, he could only say so much, victory or defeat, obvious, do you still need to ask?
"Did they escape?"
Mu Qingchen looked at his father, and kept asking again, he wanted to know if they still had a chance and if they could make a comeback.
"The two of them, either dead, or in the hands of Nangong Suppression, there is no other end."
Mu En sighed, breaking Mu Qingchen's last hope, in fact, he also guessed that when he was in Qinglong Gorge, he saw it very clearly, Nangong Zhinu was not in a hurry at all, for the fleeing Dali prince, Nangong Zhinu didn't even choose to chase it at the first time, what does this mean, this shows that Nangong Zhinu is not worried about Dali's prince escaping at all, either Nangong Zhinu wants Dali Shizi to escape, or, Nangong Zhinu knows from the beginning that Dali Shizi can't escape at all, his back road, It's been truncated.
From his son's words, he also heard it clearly, his son didn't know that the son of Dali was defeated, so the situation was obvious, and the son of Dali did not come back.
Mu Qingchen nodded, hummed softly, and then fell silent again, this ending, he could guess, when he saw his father appear, he understood, now it is a foregone conclusion, and he has no power to return to the sky.
"Qingchen, now the Mu family, there are only two of us left, our Mu family, just the last bit of soldiers and horses in your camp, listen to the advice of my father, come down!"
Mu En sighed, then turned his head, his words were a little choked, originally the four surnames in the southwest, now the Cao family has been uprooted, and there are only two of them left in the Mu family, as for the Ye family, it is now stained with Ye Ruoxin's light, although it was almost wiped out, but now it has begun to recuperate, and it has slowly improved.
"Down?"
Mu Qingchen looked at his father, the indescribable complexity in his eyes, he didn't know how to answer, but his heart was extremely bitter, dropped?
Tens of thousands of soldiers died tragically under the city, and the Mu family suffered a catastrophe, and at this moment, they still had to surrender, which really made Mu Qingchen extremely painful.
However, what can you do if you don't surrender, take your father and the soldiers under your command into exile on the border, be hunted down, and everyone shouts and beats, like a lost dog?
"Second, if you die for your father, you will die, it doesn't matter, but the incense of the Mu family can't be broken, Liu Fa can let me out, which shows that he is still sincere, come down, for the lives of the thousands of soldiers of the Mu family's army, come down, don't struggle anymore, come down!"
