Chapter 134: A Way Out
It was late at night, it was pitch black, Yang Xue couldn't see Duan Sui's expression at this time, and she didn't know what made him make such a difficult decision. Come to think of it, I must have been entangled for a long time.
For Duan Sui, she didn't have much hope, after all, with her understanding, this person is shrewd and proficient in the way of officialdom, and he will not casually stir into any troubled waters.
Especially now when the general trend is still unclear, the slightest carelessness may cost you your life.
Murong Chong and Murong Hong, no one knows who will gain power in the future, Duan Sui is willing to help generously at this time, it should not be to please Murong Chong.
And she and Duan Sui have never had a deep relationship, and she doesn't think that people like Duan Sui will take love seriously.
Then he responded to her request, there could only be one reason, and that was for Song Ling.
"I don't need to say words of kindness or thanks. I have a plan to get Song Ling out of trouble, and the general will be left alone. Yang Xue knew that time was pressing, so she went straight to the point.
Duan Sui nodded and said, "I would like to hear about it." ”

Zhang Hao led an army of 100,000 out of the city in a hurry, and hurried to Liangzhou. It's just that at this time, he felt more and more that something was wrong.
Murong Hong and Murong Chong all the soldiers and horses added up to only a hundred thousand, and Guanzhong is where their big camp is located, at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses must be left for defense, and it is impossible to come out to attack Luoyang.
In this way, there should not be much difference in the number of soldiers and horses in the Yan army and the soldiers and horses in his hands now.
Moreover, I have heard for a long time that the two brothers Murong Hong and Murong Chong are secretly fighting each other for a woman, and they have always been at odds with each other, so how can they concentrate troops and horses to attack the city with one heart and one mind?
Could it be that the Yan army is taking advantage of the fog tonight to set up a suspicious formation, but in fact, there are not enough soldiers and horses?
"Qin Li!" Thinking of this, Zhang Hao hurriedly summoned the lieutenant general.
"The last general!" A sturdy tiger general stepped forward.
"Has the messenger to Chang'an returned?" I don't know if the king of heaven was angry when he learned that Luoyang had been lost, if the king ordered him to attack Luoyang back, he would not be as entangled as this.
"General, not yet."
Not yet.
Zhang Hao couldn't help frowning, it was never the work of a famous general to run away in the wilderness like this, and it was not a wise man's move to sit back and wait for death.
If Yan Jun was just bluffing, wouldn't he become a laughing stock for future generations if he retreated without a fight like this?
"You quickly send ten sentinels to investigate outside Luoyang City, go and return quickly, don't startle the snake!"
This Yan army is virtual and real, and you can find out at a glance.
"The last general commands!" Although Qin Li didn't understand why Zhang Hao still wanted to return to Luoyang after withdrawing his troops, he believed that General Hou must have his reasons.

At this time, the city gate of Luoyang has been opened, except for the patrol defenders on the city tower, most of the rest of the soldiers have unloaded their armor and sat down to celebrate.
On the long street from the general's mansion to the city gate, the Yan army held a banquet, which stretched for several miles, and it was not spectacular. The people in the city were overjoyed when they heard that the Yan army had recaptured the former city from the hands of the Qin State, and they rushed out of their homes to the long street, carrying large jars of wine and slaughtered chickens and sheep to celebrate the Yan army.
The homeland returned, the compatriots saw each other, the army and the people were united, too many words were choked in the heart, and the long-lost smiles and excited tears were turned into hands that were tightly clasped with each other at this time.
The people who have been oppressed by the Qin army can finally raise their heads today, look at the vast sky of the Great Yan land, look at the iron cavalry of the Great Yan army, and the family and the country are deeply united at this moment.
What is the world, what is home?
The place that the people support is where the great cause rises.
The old men with gray hair kept handing the food to the Yan soldiers, but the soldiers always shirked and refused to accept it.
"Generals, you can accept it, this is a little bit of the heart of the people of Luoyang. Since the fall of Luoyang, we have been living under the bullying and oppression of the Qin army, that is, we dare not fight back, and we dare not speak out in anger! The daughters of our family, even the young girls of twelve or thirteen years old, were robbed of the barracks by the Qin army, and these beasts ......" As soon as they said this, the old people couldn't help but lift their sleeves to wipe the tears in their eyes, lamenting and indignant voices endlessly, how can the people of the country live in peace?
Yan Jun looked at the villagers and elders who were sad at this moment, and couldn't help but hang their heads, full of emotion, and sighed again and again.
They couldn't help but think of the old parents in their hometown, since Yan died in the country, aren't they as helpless as the people of Luoyang?
Their bleak scenes of dying with hatred are vivid in their minds at this moment, and their sick and weak bodies are still holding on, looking forward to the day when their children and grandchildren will expel the Qin thieves and recover the Yan Kingdom.
The Yan soldiers held the hands of the people tighter, as if they were reunited with their parents who had not seen each other for several years.
"We lived to this age, I thought that we would not see Luoyang return to the land of Yan before we died, it was you brave soldiers who worked the battlefield to exchange for the peace of Luoyang now, our long-cherished wish in this life has been fulfilled! We are all in the last years of the wind and candles, one can't carry a knife to cut down the Qin thief, and the other can't rejuvenate the country, Anbang and restore the Yan country, except for bringing these wine and meat stored at home, what we can do is really too little. I hope that the generals will not dislike it, so let's do our part for Dayan. As he spoke, the fathers and villagers once again stuffed the food in their hands into the arms of the Yan soldiers.
It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, and the Yan soldiers looked at the hearts of the people of Luoyang, and they were really embarrassed to shirk it again.
At this time, Han Yan walked into the crowd. As soon as they saw Han Yan, the Yan soldiers hurriedly handed the food and wine back to the villagers again, and said softly, "Old man, we have received all your wishes, but the military advisor has an order, after our army enters the city, we can't take a penny from the people, so you should bring back the meat and wine." ”
Han Yan had already removed his sword armor, and he was dressed in a light gray robe, like the background color of the long street, which seemed so ordinary, but the heroic aura emanating from his eyebrows made people feel that this person's identity and status were not simple at a glance.
When the people of Luoyang saw Han Yan, they looked at the soldiers of the Yan Army who were a little restrained at this time, and immediately guessed that Han Yan should be a general or commander or something, and the old man led by him quickly knelt down, and the people behind him also knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply.
"Old man, what are you doing, get up quickly." Han Yan immediately stepped forward to help the old man who was the leader.
"Under the protection of General Meng and the whole army, Luoyang is finally peaceful! Please be bowed down by the people of our city. The old man wanted to worship again, but Han Yan hurriedly stopped him.
"Old man, this expulsion of the Qin thief is what our Yan army should do, you don't have to make this big gift, please hurry up!"
Su Qinchong was standing not far behind Han Yan, and when he saw the scene of all the people coming to worship, he couldn't help frowning unhappily and was reluctant to step forward.
