April Snow (3)

Song Bai received an order from the capital on the second day of the war, and was surprised and delighted. I thought that the news had reached the DPRK and China.

The eunuch read it carefully and long, but the content was only a short number: Xue Yihan coerced military exploits to order the Son of Heaven, lied about the military situation, and tried in vain to destroy the in-laws of the two countries. He committed suicide in prison, and His Majesty was merciful to protect the immortality of his temple family. Now the two cities of peace are entrusted to the hands of Song Bai, and I hope that the general will hold himself and not bear the people.

Song Bai was shocked when he heard it, and he couldn't care about receiving the decree, so he directly snatched the holy decree. I read it quickly, and I read it again with a shudder. This is not a military order, and naturally there is no one to escort it. He stared at the person in front of him and swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "The Hu clan outside the city is besieging the city, you... How did you get in? ”

"General Song, what kind of tone is this asking our family, our family is serving, it is the decree of the emperor today. I just came in, but I didn't see any Hu wolf clan. It's General Song, you, who have just been promoted, and you don't have to kneel when you receive orders. This Pingcheng is really an unruly place, no wonder Xue Yihan has the courage to rebel! ”

"What are you talking about, do you know what you are talking about". Song Bai pulled the placket of his clothes and pushed the eunuch out of the door, pointed to the pile of fires that still had residual warmth, and roared: "The princess committed suicide, the Hu clan is at war, how can you not see it when you come in, how can you not see it, you go back, you go back for me now." I'll go back and ask for clarification right away."

He has followed Xue Yihan for many years, and knows very well that he is a human being, how can he do such disloyal and unrighteous things. Now that the princess has died in Heping City, Tuoba has clearly premeditated. The capital actually came to the next day to say that Xue Yihan was dead. How could it be so coincidental, how could it be so coincidental.

The eunuch seemed to have heard something ridiculous, pointed at Song Bai and asked, "You... What did you say...... Princess Sanssouci is dead. ”

"Dead, dead. At the moment, all that is burned is ashes." Song Bai had terrible thoughts, and his speech was a little incoherent. This matter is about to take a wrong step, but I am afraid that the nine clans of the Song family will be difficult to survive.

"You are so bold, that is the dragon descendant of the Heavenly Family, you .......... the head of your Song family......... I can't afford to pay for it."

Song Bai had no intention of arguing with this eunuch and let go. Run to the castle tower. From head to toe, every pore is roaring a word

"The king wants the minister to die....... It is a king, and it is ....... king who wants his ministers to die......... I'm going to die!"

He walked round and round the city walls, and the quartermaster at each mouth was carefully examined by hand. This Pingcheng should no longer be able to wait for reinforcements.

But he still has to hold on, just to drag it out for a while, and consume as many troops as he can consume, in exchange for a little vitality for his Song family.

Several soldiers looked at the usually calm Song Bai like a madman and patrolled the city's organ defense office two or three times but still refused to stop, and finally Wu Qing dragged Song Bai back to the study and asked him "What's the matter".

Song Bai slowly unfolded the holy altar on the table, and collapsed on the chair where Xue Yihan often sits: "Pingcheng is over"

Everyone couldn't believe it: "How can this be? ”

"Can't you see it, it's a game. It's a game. The little master is right, the Son of Heaven forced me to rebel in the northwest, and the Son of Heaven forced me to rebel in the northwest. Song Bai cried and laughed, "There will be no reinforcements in Pingcheng, and Ancheng is afraid that it will be the same." Grain and grass can last for up to ten days. You don't have to die here. Tonight, I left through the secret door in pieces. How many can go is a few, in the future, the wife and children will be hot on the kang, and there is no need to mention the major events of the family and the country. ”

"General!"

"After Pingcheng, it is Ningcheng. If I stop Tuoba Milling for one day, Ningcheng will prepare for one more day. I just want my Song family to survive. Let's go. ”

"I'm not leaving, I have to keep the peace of Liang Guo, not the dog emperor. Die here, and that's it. If you don't die. I'll go back and ask General Xue about it. Wu Qing was the first to speak.

Everyone in front of him is full of blood, and everything he talks about is like drinking ice.

The old and young in the city have all been dispersed, Song Bai couldn't bear to wait for his colleagues to die here for many years, so he tried every possible way to find a reason to send out of the city, and even the ordinary soldiers were not left, only some dead soldiers remained. Anseong's side also sent people to make the same arrangement.

The city is empty day by day. He has been here since he was seventeen years old. The wind and sand are blowing every day, and the bitter cold is bitter every year. But in my heart, there are always some flowers blooming.

The ancestor of the Song family was just a showman who was admitted to school, and he became a petty official. In Song Bai's generation, the family is still the only one who reads high, and he is reluctant to lose his hand when he grabs a knife and gun in the school. My father didn't like it, and naturally life was not very easy.

Until one year, Xue Yihan returned to Beijing to report on his work, and the first emperor organized a safari, and all the men of appropriate age from the official eunuch's house accompanied him. He and a group of civil officials were supposed to be there to do a game counting job. Seeing Xue Yihan's heroic posture immediately, he asked on the spot if he could worship under Xue Yihan's door.

It's been decades since then. He went from an ordinary pawn to a patrol general, and then became Xue Yihan's deputy general. When the eyes are broad, I was also full of pride:

This is a great river and mountain. It was he Song Bai who guarded it.

To this day, he continues to guard it.

Although he is a military general, when he was young, he was forced by his family to take the road of the imperial examination, and he did not turn the books less. Only in the past few years, the army has been open. Song Bai disdained to play those intrigues. Until this edict came.

Princess Sanssouci, from the moment she was married, was a dead person, died in Pingcheng, and asked the Xue family's soldiers to accompany her for the funeral.

It was Xue Ling's words that day, and it was the Son of Heaven who was suspicious. Don't trust the Xue family. did not hesitate to frame Xue Yihan with his sister and the soldiers of Ping'an Ercheng. This throne, I'm afraid that it will be really wrong.

But whether it is right or not, it is no longer something that he Song Bai needs to think about at this moment. What he considered was that the emperor didn't plan to stay in Ping'an Ercheng at all, but he didn't know whether this matter coincided with Tuoba Milling or was .......... embarrassment. He didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Behind the second city of Ping'an, there are tens of thousands of miles of land in the Liang Kingdom, and there are countless people. The only ones who can fight for a little time are Wuzhou, Kule and Ningcheng. I don't know which way to go south. Even if the emperor wants to get rid of the Xue family, he shouldn't dare to joke about these three cities.

If this matter was planned by the emperor, there should already be cronies waiting for work in these three places, and when the two cities of Ping'an were lost, they would send troops to stop Tuoba Milling. After this incident, all the reasons for the war were detained on the Song and Xue families.

It's really, a good way to seize the sky.

In the city, the wind rose. There is sand when the wind blows here, fortunately, the climate is still quite wet in spring, and only the breath is a little grainy, and it is not like autumn when you can't open your eyes. But today's wind and sand, Song Bai always feels that it is mixed with the bones of the soldiers who died in the battle the day before yesterday. If there really is a yellow spring in the world, do they know that they did not die from the people?

Song Bai was still circling around the city's inspection organs. Tuoba Mill had besieged the city for two days without attacking it. The next wave should be soon.

How long will it last? If you hold on for one more hour, Wuzhou, Kule, and Ningcheng will have one more hour to prepare. The probability of his Song family's survival is greater. After all, the Son of Heaven is benevolent, if he only loses Pingcheng, maybe he will also protect his temple family from destruction?

Four days later, the city of Pingcheng was broken. Song Bai died in battle.

This city he has been guarding for more than ten years, the moment he fell from the city wall, he looked at Xue Yi's cold face in the blood light. The last thought remained: "I'm luckier than the general, I'm also a general, I'll die on the battlefield, general." Fallen in the court"

Thousands of horses roared by, flesh and blood sticky, and white bones were broken. The original horse leather shroud is also a luxury. Crushing into mud is the destination.
