Chapter 344: Going to a Dead End
Uncle Zhao looked at the digging and nodded, and after calming down a little, he suddenly realized that the digging suddenly realized that he threw down the army and went to the pickaxe capital alone, so something must have happened, "But what happened to Jinbei?" ”
Dutu nodded, "So I came here today to meet the king, and I'm afraid that I won't dare to delay this matter!" His voice was already lacking in qi, and he was rushing all the way, and at the moment he was waiting to see Ji Gongyan, so Uncle Zhao had to nod, not daring to ask too much, and with his digging steps, he almost trotted all the way in the direction of the East Palace.
Ji Gongyan learned from the mouth of the guards that he was coming, and he was shocked and turned pale.
Bao Xi was also uneasy when she heard this, and the string in her hand suddenly broke, hurting her fingers, she just pinched her fingers and didn't dare to make a sound. Ji Gongyan glanced at Bao Xi, "It's okay, right?" ”
Bao Xi shook her head, "What could it be?" ”
"Move the rescuers!" Ji Gongyan said, I didn't think that it would finally come to this day, he had a fluke mentality, hoping that Wenshuo and Bao Hongde could win this trip, but at the moment it seems that this hope is really too slim, the road ahead is long, there are too many obstacles, in addition to Beidi's own military strength and Wenshuo, Bao Hongde's lack of experience, the most important thing is the unwarranted constraints of his own people and Bao Hongde's quick success.
Bao Xi shook her head, she didn't want to believe this fact, but the facts in front of her had to be believed, her heartbeat suddenly jumped up, it seemed that she had never been so nervous in her life, and when she came in with Uncle Zhao and paid homage to Ji Gongyan, Bao Xi was startled, and turned to Du Tu, her face was very ugly, her palms were covered with fine and dense sweat, her heart was stuck in her throat, and she was almost speechless.
Ji Gongyan's face remained unchanged, and his voice was still very steady and rich, "It's good to come back alive, the soldiers came to report that you died on the battlefield, and the widow and the mother were really worried about you for a while!" ”
"The king of labor is worried, and the grass people are not worried about a cheap life!" After speaking, he threw the robe in front of him aside, then knelt down with a "bang", looked at Ji Gongyan and said, "Please support the king of Jinbei, otherwise I am afraid that the soldiers and horses brought by General Wen and Dr. Bao will be all ......" He frowned, as if it took a lot of effort to say this, "All of them will die on the battlefield, and there will be no bones!" ”
"What did you say?" Ji Gongyan slapped the table and stood up, and almost popped out the remaining words from between his teeth in a cold tone, "Say it again!" ”
"If the king doesn't send reinforcements, I'm afraid that the soldiers and horses led by General Wen and Dr. Bao will die on the battlefield!" Dutu suddenly raised his head, and his dark eyes collided with Ji Gongyan's gaze, "When the last general left, the Beidi soldiers had already begun to destroy the city, Yuanyang and Xincheng were not owned by Beidi, and it would not be distressing to destroy them, and now the soldiers and horses led by General Wen and Dr. Bao are all trapped in the city, and they are about to ...... Burned alive! ”
Bao Xi was a little moved, tears overflowed her eyes, this scene can be imagined, it was too cruel, she covered her mouth and lowered her head, took a deep breath, didn't want people to see this gaffe. Ji Gongyan slumped into his seat, "How can this be?" ”
"After General Wen and Dr. Bao ordered the capture of the city, it went smoothly, and they had successfully recaptured Yuanyang City, but Dr. Bao ...... Order the slaughter of the city! Although it was difficult to speak, looking at Bao Hongde, he felt deeply guilty, and felt very guilty for not being able to stop Bao Hongde's crazy behavior, "Therefore...... Angered the soldiers of Beidi, they abandoned the new city, surrounded the original Yang City with firewood, poured fire oil, set fire to it, and when the general left, or set the prairie on fire, I am afraid that it will be ......"
"I'm afraid they've been burned alive?" Ji Gongyu asked.
Di Tu nodded, and shook his head violently, "No, General Wen must still have a way!" ”
"What else can be done?" Ji Gongyan shouted and said, "Why did they die together with the city, but you came back?" ”
"The king," Bao Xi suddenly stood up and grabbed Ji Gongyan's arm, patting his arm gently, trying to help him straighten out the suffocating breath in his chest, "King? Listen to the story slowly. ”
"If the king doesn't send troops to support, I'm afraid that the cadres in the north of Jin will not be able to escape the fate of being burned to death, and I ask the king to send troops to reinforce! In the crime of desertion, please come to the king to cure it again! ”
"Please send reinforcements from the king!" Uncle Zhao also knelt down and said like digging out.
Ji Gongyan's whole body trembled with anger, once he sent reinforcements it meant that he had to admit that Bao Hongde was defeated, which meant that Bao Yan would be pressed and imprisoned and wait for Bao Hongde to be escorted back to Beijing, and he would be executed after interrogation. This is the last thing Ji Gongyan wants to see, he feels that his eyes are dark, full of despair, the person he wants to keep the most has now become the most difficult to keep, he once dreamed that he killed Bao Xi with his own hands, but now this meeting has come true.
Bao Xi let go of Ji Gongyan's arm, knowing what this decision meant for the two of them, she hurriedly walked down the steps with her long skirt, walking in the direction of Dutu and Uncle Zhao, and then knelt on the ground, and kowtowed deeply, long, "Please send reinforcements to the king!" ”
"Hello?" Ji Gongyu asked.
"General Wen must have a way to escape this catastrophe, and the fact that Dutu was able to bring this news to the soldiers of Northern Jin has already fought for the greatest way to survive, if the king is indecisive and can't make a decision, the lives of these tens of thousands of people will end in that fire!" Bao Xi looked at Ji Gongyu and said, his eyes were very bright, he had never seen her so moving, but why was she at such a sad moment?
Ji Gongyan shook his head again, his hands were tightly clasped together, his eyes stared at the kneeling on the ground and asked, "If the widow gives you a hundred times of soldiers and horses, you may break through?" ”
"No way!" Digging shook his head and replied categorically.
"You don't even have that confidence!" Ji Gongyan asked loudly, but he could only bow down, "The last general is incompetent, please punish the king!" ”
"Where's Jin Bo?" Ji Gongyan asked, "Where are his reinforcements?" ”
"King," Uncle Zhao said eagerly, "Now is not the time for Xingshi to ask for guilt, saving those tens of thousands of soldiers and horses is the right thing!" The northern generation of Jin is a perennial drought place, if you pray for heavy rain from the sky, I am afraid it will be even more difficult! If the king doesn't send troops, the soldiers in the city will be able to escape the fire, and they will have to be trapped alive! ”
Ji Gongyan frowned and shook his head.
"Great King," Bao Xi looked at Ji Gongyan and said, "You should know that General Zheng has taken away Zheng Guo's soldiers and horses, and ordered General Zheng to support the battle of Northern Jin, please ask Uncle Zheng to fully support it!" ”
"Praise!" Ji Gongyan roared again.
"The King, please!" Bao Xi, Uncle Zhao and the three of them said together, everyone's hearts were tightly grasped, because no one knows what this means, Ji Gongyan closed his eyes and clenched his hands into fists, this is the last way, he has nowhere to go if he doesn't take this road, there is only this way out at the moment, he can't exchange the entire country for Bao Xi's life, it's not worth it or not, but the dignity of Kyushu in the Central Plains for thousands of years will not agree to this.
If he had changed, Bao Xi would have been rebuked as a demon concubine, poked in the back, scolded for the trouble, and asked that he must put her to death, he could almost see that he and Bao Xi were like two trapped beasts in the corner, surrounded by menacing hunters, turned to the wall, and in front of them were countless enemies, they were panicked and helpless.
During the time she was waiting for Ji Gongyu's order, it was as if she had experienced hundreds of years, and she looked at him like she was looking at a statue that couldn't move, which was the last thing she could do for his country. She felt that she had done her best, that she had lived like this in this life, that it was already very good, that she didn't know how to live to be more perfect, that book of fate seemed to be destined for all the plot as soon as she was born, and she smiled gently, and smiled beautifully.
But he didn't see it, because there was only this darkness left in his eyes, and he couldn't speak.
"Zhao Shangqing!" After a long time, Ji Gongyan finally spit out these three words, "Pass the widow's order, ask General Zheng to go to northern Jin to support, Uncle Zheng...... Give full help, call Zheng * force, and stand to the end! The widow wants Beidi, and the blood debt is repaid! He turned to look at Uncle Zhao, and the last few words were almost spoken word by word, and every word was dripping blood.
"The subordinate obeys!" Uncle Zhao said, stood up and turned around and left the main hall of the East Palace, refusing to take another look at Bao Xi, feeling unbearable, she and Ji Gongyan were only afraid that they would only be together for a few days, her eyes were full of tears, but she was very relieved. From now on, he will no longer be constrained, from now on, he can rest assured of his country, if we meet in Jiuquan in the future, she hopes that he can tell her, those things that she did not experience later, those glories that she did not see later.
"King Xie!" Digging Tu also breathed a long sigh of relief, spit out this sentence and already fainted, the fatigue of the past few days made him exhaust every bit of strength in his body, Bao Xi was shocked, looked at the digging tu who fell to the ground, and immediately stood up and asked the people of the East Palace to go out and ask the medical officer to come.
This sudden scene disturbed Ji Gongyan's contemplation, and he turned to look at the digging tu and hurriedly ran down the steps, "It seems that the running around for days has caused his old injury," Ji Gongyan said as he looked at the puddle of blood on the ground.
"Settle the excavation first, and listen to what the medical officer has to say?" Bao Xi asked, ready to get up.
Ji Gongyan suddenly grabbed Bao Xi, and stared at her with deep eyes, "Naturally, someone will deal with the matter of digging out, and the widow wants you to accompany the widow." ”
"King," Bao Xi looked at the man in front of him with emotion, this resolute man.
