The night came again, the whole Aoshan City was bleak, with the defeat of the war again and again, the enemy soldiers came to the city, especially the surrender of Yunshui Town, everyone understood that this was only the last moment of Aoshan City.

The pale-faced young city lord of Aoshan City has been angry since the news of the failure of the conquest and the loss of Gaojia Town. He couldn't have imagined how a small town at the beginning could force Aoshan City to this point, and it was after reaching a cooperation agreement with his rival Yucheng.

After the city lord ordered his subordinates to guard the city defense, he turned around angrily and continued to have fun. The generals sighed secretly, and their expressions were different after leaving, but one thing was similar, they all expressed their dissatisfaction with the city lord.

Most of them were generals during the period of the old city lord, and after many years of war, they witnessed the process of Aoshan City from the glory of the weak road to the decline, and they all missed the glory of the old city lord. However, the new city lord is not capable enough, and listens to slander, greedy for pleasure, suspicious and irritable...... It seems that all the shortcomings can be reflected in him. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't trust the generals under his command, how could he find an excuse to kill Deputy City Lord He's family as soon as he took office, and how could he try his best to suppress the generals in the army and reduce the investment in the army, so that the city guards became what they are now.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and one of them also walked towards the house with a heavy heart, until he returned to sit down, still frowning.

His name is He Jinshui, a second-order general in Aoshan City, in charge of an army of 3,000, and is responsible for the guard of the West Gate. The reason why he was frowning was that he was hesitating about one thing in his heart.

Just last night, before the army outside the city surrounded Aoshan City, someone found him and brought him some information, asking him to take Aoshan City together, so as not to cause too much damage and give his old rival Yucheng a chance to grow.

As a military general of Aoshan City, he knew very well that this kind of behavior was despicable, and he should immediately arrest the person who came and take him to the city lord's mansion to ask for guilt.

But he didn't, and even in his heart, he wished that the city lord would die quickly, and if possible, he was even willing to do it himself.

Yes, that's what he said from his heart.

He was an orphan since he was a child, and he grew up with the help of well-wishers, and came to Aoshan City by chance. At that time, it was the time when Aoshan City was vigorously developed, and it was full of vitality. But at that time, he was poor and destitute, and he had no strength but didn't know how to survive, until he met Deputy City Lord He. Of course, at that time, Deputy City Lord He had not yet become the Deputy City Lord.

Deputy City Lord He did not look down on him because he was poor, but treated him like a friend, borrowed him gold, silver, food and clothing, yes, borrowed, not charity, and instructed him to join the army, which is why he is today.

The intersection between him and Deputy City Lord He was very short, only for half a day, and he also met by accident, and there were almost no people who knew about this relationship. But he remembered that scene for the rest of his life, and always regarded Deputy City Lord He as a benefactor. His original name was Jin Shui, which he came up with by himself, so he deliberately changed his surname to He. But at that time, he was just a nobody, and no one noticed him.

Gradually, he fought bravely, won the appreciation of the superiors, continued to improve his position, and of course, his personal strength gradually improved. When he grew to the first rank, he finally won the appreciation of the old city lord and became a general who commanded a thousand people. At that time, Aoshan City was strong, and a military general like him who had just entered the rank was nothing at all, and he understood that the reason why he had this status was definitely due to the merits of the deputy city lord.

He had always thought things would go on like this, but a turning point happened. The strong strength of Aoshan City attracted the jealousy of the other three cities, and they jointly attacked, but the final result was that Aoshan City failed, its strength was greatly reduced, and the old city lord was seriously injured and no longer brilliant. What he didn't expect was that not long after the death of the old city lord, the new city lord began a large-scale purge, and Deputy City Lord He's power in the army was eliminated, which led to a decline in the combat effectiveness of the Aoshan City City Guards. And he was lucky, because no one knew about his relationship with Deputy City Lord He, and he escaped.

After that, the city lord found an excuse to take down Deputy City Lord He, it is said that it was because of the Night Pearl, but everyone knows that this is just an excuse, in fact, it is because Deputy City Lord He has too much prestige, and the new city lord is not worried about him. Originally, he thought that the new city lord just accepted the rights of the deputy city lord He, but who knew that the new city lord was extremely decisive in this matter, and he ordered to kill the deputy city lord He and his family before long.

He shuddered. Yes, he was scared, and even at that time, he was worried that someone would know about the relationship between him and Deputy City Lord He, although he had never been in contact with Deputy City Lord He since he joined the army, but someone in He Mansion had seen him, even if it had been more than ten years, it was difficult to guarantee that someone would recognize him. In this way, he was in fear and fear, until the old city lord's family was killed, and there was nothing to do with him.

His position was preserved, but since then he has had a heart disease and has been living in torment. He hated his inaction, though it was useless; also hated the ruthlessness of the city lord even more, and wanted to kill him personally.

He is a native of Aoshan City, grew up in the villages and towns attached to Aoshan City since he was a child, and arrived in Aoshan City before he reached 20, and since then he has taken root in the city guards, witnessing the whole process of the city from weak to brilliant and then declining, and has a deep affection for this city. Although he hated the city lord of Aoshan City, he also had the opportunity to kill him, but he also knew that if he lost him again and replaced him with another person, he was afraid that the decline of Aoshan City would be even worse, and Yucheng would be cheapened in vain, which made him unbearable after fighting Yucheng for one or two decades. So I had to scold the mischievous city lord in my heart while anesthetizing myself.

In the past two years, Yunshui Town has gradually shown a trend of independence, and has secretly sent people to contact them, who have been dissatisfied with the city lord in the past few years, of course, no general will take a town in his eyes, but no one will tell the truth, wouldn't it be a suspicion to send to the door, with the character of the city lord, he will definitely kill the suspect directly.

However, just last night, in the letter sent by the secret envoy of Yunshui Town, he accurately stated the situation of his encounter with Deputy City Lord He for half a day, and it was obvious that Yunshui Town knew his relationship with Deputy City Lord He.

Although the letter is not long, it introduces the situation of the main opponent Bai Zhen, as well as the news that the only son of Deputy City Lord He who survived by luck is a general in Bai Town, and the most important thing is that after this year's war, Bai Zhen has the elite of thousands of people, surpassing Aoshan City. If it weren't for the fear that the loss would be too big for Yucheng to pick up, even if it was a strong attack, it would be able to take Aoshan City.

There was no mention in the letter that he wanted to fight against the water, but he understood that every sentence was about one thing, that he wanted to cooperate with the outside world to take Aoshan City at the lowest cost.

What made him even more shocked was that when the four gates of Aoshan City were closed, the other party could still send this letter, if there was either a problem with the city defense, or there should be a lot of people in the city.

The overall strength of Aoshan City, he understands very well that the peak period has passed, and he only said that in the near future, there are 5 generals in the third order, 11 in the second order, and less than 20 in the first order. Or some people will be confused why the number of people entering the ranks is so similar, it can only be said that there is a talent gap in Aoshan City. Under the actions of the current city lord, who is still desperate! So far, it is these people, two of the third-order ones were killed and one seriously injured when they went out of the city to attack the Baizhen camp, the second-order ones still have 7 left, including him, and the first-order ones still have double digits.

In terms of the army, there were originally only 30,000 or 40,000, and the losses have been serious during this time, and now there are only 5,000 veterans in the city, including hundreds of elites, plus nearly 10,000 untrained recruits who have been desperately trying to catch strong men recently, and there are only about 15,000 people. And everyone knows that it would be good if the nearly 10,000 recruits didn't add to the chaos, and they couldn't fight at all.

Among the third-order generals, one of them is a staff member around the city lord, who is good at strategy and has no leader; One is the cronies of the city lord, only responsible for the elite of the hundreds of people, and there is only one third-order general in charge of the overall situation, sitting at the south gate, fighting against the main army of the siege, in addition to the elite guarding the city lord's mansion, there are more than 2,000 veterans, and the remaining three gates are only four or five hundred people, guarded by a second-order general with two first-order generals.

His nearly 500 veterans are his descendants, and they are loyal people he has cultivated in the past ten years, if he unexpectedly controls the two first-order generals and the twenty or thirty city lord's henchmen who guard the city gate, it will be no problem to open the west gate. In this way, you can take revenge without worrying about your life.

For him, the choice was an ordeal.

After sitting alone for a long time, he finally made a decision.
