"Hongu's father, mother, siblings, all relatives, are here, right here. If you let Hongu leave, where can Hongu go? Hongu is old and does not have the ambitions of young people. If one day the capital city is broken, this palace is willing to be the one who witnesses everything! ”

Xiao's face was sad, and his heart had already been filled with sadness.

She sighed and looked at the overcast sky outside, just as she was in the mood.

For more than 100 years, the Great Wei Guozuo has really reached the juncture of life and death.

She didn't want to see that.

But as a member of the Xiao family, she must witness this scene with her own eyes.

It's her mission!

It's also her fate!

She continued: "People say that fallen leaves come to their roots! The capital is the root of the main shrine. Hongu was born and raised here, and experienced the destruction of his family.

Now, this palace only wants to guard them, and guard this city until the day of death.

If the will of heaven is destined to destroy the capital city and the Great Wei Dynasty, the palace must also see with your own eyes how the country collapses and how the dynasty falls!

After death, go to see the ancestors and ancestors, and the palace must count the merits and demerits of each person. All people are sinners, and no one can escape this! ”

Yan Yunge couldn't understand how deep her mother Xiao's feelings for the ruined dynasty of Great Wei were.

But she can understand the idea of being reluctant, unable to let go, and would rather die than guard.

Everyone has an obsession in their hearts.

At this moment, Yan Yunge realized that persuasion would not work.

She looked at her mother, Xiao, "Mother insists on staying, have you ever thought about what she will face?" There are thousands of people in the county lord's mansion, are they willing to live and die with the capital? ”

Xiao Shi smiled, "The day you leave the capital, you will take all the people from the County Lord's Mansion away." The palace has already thought about it, and the county lord's mansion will be left to you in the future, and you will inherit everything. ”

Yan Yunge was shocked, is her mother ready to die?

She clenched her fists and said solemnly: "Mother really thinks that if you don't leave, can I leave with confidence?" If you don't leave, I won't leave. The county lord's mansion is not my responsibility, it is my mother's responsibility. Mother is responsible for thousands of lives in the county lord's mansion! ”

Xiao Shi shook his head and said, "This palace is old, and he has more than enough strength to afford the lives of thousands of people in the county lord's mansion. But you can!

This palace has already sent a letter to your father, and also sent a letter to your eldest sister Yun Fei, from now on, the county lord's mansion will belong to you. Fight for this palace, and then get a knighthood for you. I hope I can get you a county lordship. ”

"My daughter doesn't want any knighthood! The daughter wants her mother to live, and she wants the county lord's mansion to live completely. ”

Xiao Shi laughed, "Sooner or later, people will die, can you let this palace decide for yourself how and when you will die?" Promise Hongu and let Hongu fulfill the desire to accompany their loved ones, okay? ”

"Isn't your daughter your relative? Isn't the second sister your relative? ”

"You all have a home, someone to be with you for the rest of your life. But the relatives of this palace, they are alone, and this palace can't let go, and they can't be reluctant. Be obedient and obedient! ”

Yan Yunge was already in tears.

She wiped away her tears, and then said solemnly: "Mother will not die!" Daughter won't let you die! Whether the city is broken or not, whether the dynasty is destroyed or not, the daughter will not allow her mother to leave us without permission. I always believe that only when people live can there be hope! ”

Shaw sighed.

The mother and daughter can't convince anyone.

……

Xiao Yat retreated one after another, and the defensive line repeatedly retreated.

From the capital, there are only the last fifty miles left.

Fifty miles, life and death!

Life and death are the fine line.

Wu Heng may break through the defense line at any time and come to the city.

The soldiers and horses in Xiao Yi's hands are decreasing every day.

Today, he has less than 10,000 soldiers and horses.

Moreover, they are all a group of tired soldiers, remnants.

Yan Yuntong's rescue is still on the way.

The rescue of military generals in other places is even more far away.

Pessimism and despair permeated the sky over the capital.

He finally sent a letter to Yan Yunge.

He told her, run, run away. He'll go find her!

Yan Yunge looked at the short letter, and tears slowly fell.

Then, she picked up the pen and wrote a letter, angrily scolding Xiao Yi.

"You must live! Live well! Otherwise, you will make Mrs. Ben a widow today, and Mrs. Ben will marry another person tomorrow!" ”

The letter was quickly delivered to Xiao Yat.

After reading it, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Grizzled, I don't know how long I haven't washed properly.

Mr. Ji can still be called neat, but his eyes are full of bloodshots, and he obviously hasn't had a good rest for a long time.

A lot of age, stay up like this, beware of running out of oil and running out!

He took a sip of strong tea to refresh himself, "Childe give up!" We withdrew to the capital and relied on the walls of the capital to defend it. You can't sacrifice the last few remaining soldiers and horses in vain!

They are all a group of rare veterans, who have withdrawn to the capital, and there is still a glimmer of life. It really makes no sense to stay here and sacrifice in vain.

Everyone knew that it was a matter of time before Wuheng's soldiers and horses hit the city walls of the capital. Childe has been holding on for so long, and he has done his best. No one can do it better than Childe!

Withdraw! You can't take human lives anymore. You go and look, look at the group of soldiers, their eyes have long since lost the light of life. Does Childe really want to fight until there is only one soldier left, and then he is willing to stop? ”

Bang!

Xiao Yat slammed his fist on the table.

He was not reconciled!

Full of unwillingness to withdraw the troops, he gave way to the passage in vain, and watched Wuheng's soldiers and horses open their teeth and claws.

It's a great shame!

It was his biggest failure in the army for so many years!

He was really unwilling!

Mr. Ji said bitterly, "If Madame is here, will she support Gongzi to fight to the death and not retreat?" Will she support the fight until there is only one soldier left? In the past, Gongzi also said that the Northern Army was brainless and would only fight to the death and not retreat. Now Gongzi actually made the same mistake as Wu Fatian, the general of the Northern Army. Could it be providence? ”

Xiao Yi said angrily: "It's different! It's not the same at all! At that time, Wu Fatian had so many friendly troops to support him, and he had enough food and grass, so he could completely retreat and wait for the follow-up. Where is the support of this son, where are the allies?

My son has been fighting alone from beginning to end, begging his grandfather to tell his grandmother every day, hoping to have more soldiers. Shi Wen and Ling Changzhi were two bastards, holding on to the little soldiers and horses in their hands and refusing to let them out, saying that they would stay to protect the capital. The war has been fought until now, and it is already a non-war crime! If Ben Gongzi had 50,000 soldiers and horses, it would never be the current situation. ”

He was angry, frustrated, and in a dilemma.

Retreat or hold on?

Inner struggle, hesitation and contradiction, he is unwilling!

Mr. Ji insisted on retiring from the army, "If Mrs. wants the son to live, the son must live." Just like Mrs. said in the letter, stay in the green mountains, and you are not afraid of running out of firewood. If you return to the capital, you may be able to find a glimmer of life. ”

Xiao Yi sneered, "Returning to the capital, Gyeonggi is like a no-man's land, and Wuheng soldiers and horses can come and go freely." How long can the Great Wei River and Mountain last? Leaning on the walls of the capital, won't the country be destroyed? Sir is too optimistic! ”

Mr. Ji gritted his teeth and said sharply: "If Great Wei is destined to perish, then Gongzi should keep the fire for the future." Gongzi has to think so, if the capital is broken, it will not mean the fall of the Great Wei. There are still so many soldiers and horses in the imperial court, there is always a way to turn the situation around! ”

Xiao Yi sneered and flipped the bookcase with one hand.

He was so miserable, too tormented!

At this moment, he missed Yan Yunge immensely.

If she was by his side, he would definitely not be so tormented, as if he was living like a year.

He took a deep breath, "I'm going to send a letter to Shi Wen and Ling Changzhi." I also have to send a letter to Yun Ge. Whether you want to withdraw or not, we will see tomorrow. ”

The distance of fifty miles from the capital is not worth mentioning at all for the heralds who travel hundreds of miles a day.

Three letters, delivered to three mansions.

……

Prime Minister's Mansion, Pingwu Marquis Shi Wen sighed heavily after reading the letter.

He said to the heralds who were waiting for an answer: "Tell your son-in-law that Benhou agrees with him to withdraw his troops. After that, Ben Hou still officially gave him an official letter, so as not to attack him with this matter afterwards. ”

……

Ling Mansion!

Ling Changzhi was silent for a long time.

No one dared to urge.

His wife, Xie Shi, came to him, "Don't dare to make a decision, or can't make a decision?" ”

Ling Changzhi held her hand, "Xiao Yi is almost finished, which means that soon, at most, in three or five days, Wuheng's soldiers and horses will be in the city." The defense of the capital, so a little soldiers and horses, plus a group of recruits who have just been conscripted, how to surround it. It's better for you to go back to your hometown first. I don't worry about you staying in the capital. ”

Xie Shi's expression was solemn, "Don't you have the confidence to keep the capital?" ”

Ling Changzhi said: "Always prepare for the worst. I will give Xiao Yi an official document now, agreeing to his withdrawal of troops and return to the capital. ”

Xie sighed, "I'm leaving, what are you going to do?" ”

Ling Changzhi smiled, "Don't worry! In any case, my life will definitely be saved. ”

Xie nodded, and finally agreed to leave Beijing early and return to his ancestral home in Hongnong County.

……

Shaw House.

Yan Yunge looked at Xiao Yi's letter, wanting to laugh and cry.

He even asked her in the letter if she would despise him if she returned to the capital.

What the hell is the question.

In this situation, it is a wise decision to withdraw from the army.

Only by preserving the vital forces and using veterans to lead new recruits can we quickly build up an army with combat effectiveness.

After all the veterans are gone, do you have to count on a group of recruits who have never seen blood in the future?

It is a matter of time before the line of defense is breached.

It's just the difference between one day earlier and one day later, which can't affect the overall situation.

If you return to the capital early, you can save the lives of a few more veterans.

She wrote down her thoughts one by one in a letter and handed them to the herald.

And advised: "You tell Childe, don't be discouraged." It's normal to have a war and a win. No one can win a hundred battles, and a winning general is not so easy to do. has experienced defeat, as long as you can learn from the experience, you will be a good man in a few days. I'm waiting for him to come back. ”

The herald departed with the letter.

A letter and two official documents were placed in front of Xiao Yi one after another.

He finally made a decision: withdraw the troops and withdraw to the capital! Completely abandon the Gyeonggi Defense Line!
