Chapter 53: Breakthrough (I)
Chapter 530 Chapter 53 Breakthrough (I)
In Xiangningbo's Mansion, Shen Zhou personally rushed to the courtyard of the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law.
Although it was daylight, there was still a raging fire in the western sky, shouting and killing like a "wave" and "tide", a "wave" and "wave" rushed into the city, shaking the hearts of the people in the city, spreading panic and despair.
The incident happened suddenly, the grain and grass were burned, and the city 'gate' was about to be broken, and the imperial capital, which was already lacking in confidence in defending the city, unless reinforcements appeared immediately at this moment, the city was only broken within a few hours...... Even the people who are still fighting at the West Gate are probably the dead soldiers who were allocated by the various families to break through the siege, and the common people in the city who hoped that the royal family and nobles would take their wives and children with them as promised when they retreated......
As for the only regular army in the imperial capital, the Imperial Forest Army mutinied as early as after the grain and grass were burned! Trying to abandon the city and break through, some naΓ―ve even thought of surrendering. Coach Deng Kui didn't try his best to restrain him, but the end result was that in a 'chaos' and 'chaos', Deng Kui was hit in the left eye and through the back of the head by a cold arrow that flew from nowhere!
The boss was assassinated, and the Royal Guards were even more justifiably in a mess. If it weren't for the fact that the 'private' soldiers ordered the 'private' soldiers to kill hundreds of people in one go, and the head of the owl was shown to the public, which shocked this group of soldiers with a well-born background, some people would have tried to open the 'gates' of other cities and fled for their lives immediately! But even if they didn't dare to do this, they were scattered like birds and beasts, waiting for the moment when they would open the city gate and flee for their lives, and they would not go to the west gate to resist, let alone expect them to break off......
It's also retribution -
More than ten years ago, these people relied on their affinity with all the families in the Shi clan, and with the acquiescence of each family, they 'forced' their commander Gu Xiaode to make a difference even as the queen's brother, so he had to start from scratch to establish the Xuanjiawei.
And even if Gu Xiaode relied on Xuanjiawei to have a group of subordinates who could be commanded, he would not be a nominal commander of the forbidden army, but until he was killed by Shen Bo, he was unable to train these people to be obedient. But now, it is precisely because of their incompetence that it has caused a situation where the Rong people have destroyed eighty percent of the grain and grass after sneaking into the city, and the imperial capital is about to be broken.
If it weren't for this, Gu Xiaode would be able to train 100,000 children of the Shu clan into the most 'elite' Xuanjia Guard recognized as the most 'elite' except for the border army, if he hadn't been tripped by the people behind these soldiers, wouldn't he be able to train the entire Imperial Forest Army into a capable division?!
But now is not the time to hold accountable, the most important thing at this time is to retreat - those fools in the Royal Forest Army who hope to surrender and get forgiveness from the Rong people are simply eight lives without a brain!
Rong's life is 'sexual' brutal, and in the 'engagement' war with Donghu for many years, what is burning, killing, and plundering? Slaughtering the city and building the Beijing Temple, that is commonplace!
Especially the prosperity of the imperial capital, they have long been deeply jealous!
What's more, the Rong people don't recognize what scholars are not scholars, and celebrities are not celebrities! In their eyes, the enemies are all the same, the 'female' can use it, and the man kills one less hostile combat power.
They don't dare to hope to replace the Great Wei now, what do they want the people to do? Rong people are not stupid, the Central Plains has always had the words "if it is not my race, its heart will be different", even if the people of the Great Wei are changing everywhere, but if they want to accept the rule of a foreign race, it must be a group to attack it!
If it weren't for the mediocrity of three generations of Emperor Wei in succession, which completely 'provoked' the whole country, coupled with the internal contradictions and intrigues of the scholars, there would have been even a nearby civil uprising that would have been eliminated and rushed to the imperial capital to come to King Qin!
Therefore, after the Rong people captured the imperial capital, it was impossible to expect them to show mercy to them just because this was the imperial capital.
Besides, from the perspective of the high-ranking nobles, even the Gu family, which is known as the "Imperial Capital Gu Family", is not worthless without leaving the imperial capital! For example, the Shen family and the Su family, whose foundation is on the side and are still stable, will not surrender if they are killed! That would be tantamount to giving up the status of the sect to other clansmen, and it would also bear the infamy of the ages, and make the descendants who were lucky enough to be left out of the country not be able to raise their heads!
On the other hand, as long as the siege is broken out, the Xiliang army or the Qingzhou army alone is enough to drive the Rong people out of the Central Plains - even if the imperial capital is difficult to fight and can't find an opportunity like the Rong people this time, but in the land of Great Wei, it is not possible to trap them?
At that time, no matter whether the Wei family is gone, the scholar clan will still be a high-ranking scholar clan.
So the most important thing at the moment is to break through.
On this eye bone - especially at this moment Shen Xuan entered the palace to discuss how to move, and threw the Taifu Mansion and Xiangning Bo Mansion to Shen Zhou, he had a lot of things to do at this time. But in view of the eldest daughter-in-law Pei Meiniang's consistent behavior, he really can't rest assured if he doesn't come over to stare at it in person!
Tonight's turn of events was too abrupt.
Even the most pessimistic people estimate that the imperial capital will be able to hold on at least until the beginning of summer.
Therefore, the retreat at this moment has also prepared for the worst.
Before Shen Xuan entered the palace, he sent someone to tell him clearly: This time he will not bring any 'female' dependents.
Whether it is a wife, a daughter-in-law, a daughter-in-law or a grandchild...... All that could be a drag or a burden, except for a few grandchildren, not a single one!
Even Wei Changying, the third daughter-in-law who knows martial arts, was excluded from the breakout list by Shen Xuan on the grounds that "what Wei is good at is just hand-to-hand killing, but his riding skills are mediocre, and the 'woman' manpower is weak, I am afraid that it will become a burden halfway, and when the time comes, she will abandon it and die from the 'chaos' soldiers, after all, it will hurt the dignity of the Shen family and the Wei family, so it is better to stay in the mansion and entrust it to the knees of the lady" as the reason to be excluded from the breakout list!
The daughters-in-law and 'women' of the Taifu Mansion all have a reputation for being virtuous, and Mrs. Su is watching, in the current situation, the elders believe that they can distinguish it clearly - it is useless to make trouble, so as not to be confused in public.
But Shen Zhou can't trust Pei Meiniang, mainly because he can't believe Shen Zanghui!
At about the same time, Taifu Mansion, there was no 'flower' court.
Duanmu Yanyu looked at her husband, who was only wearing a middle coat and was hurriedly putting on his outer robe, and said in a daze: "Clean up for Yi'er?" β
"That's right! Hurry up! Shen Yongshi's face was pale, and he hurriedly ordered, "The west 'gate' should not be able to hold it!" We've got to get out of here! β
"Mama Fei, go and clean up for Yi'er." Duanmu Yanyu was urged by him, and subconsciously raised her voice to call into her henchman Fei's advice, then turned her head and looked at her husband with blazing eyes, "Then why do you only pack Yi'er's things?" β
Shen Yongshi was stunned for a moment, stopped his tie-up hand, and looked at her strangely: "Although it is said that most of the Rong people are attacking the city at the West 'Gate' now, there must be people left outside the other 'gates'...... It is impossible for the dead soldiers of our family to escort everyone away! Especially if you 'women' don't even know how to ride horses, how can you walk together? β
"I'm not asking for myself. How can I say that I am also the 'daughter' of the Shi clan, will I still be greedy for life and afraid of death on this eye joint? Duanmu Yanyu stood up, walked to the hanger and picked up her robe, quickly put it on, and muttered, "But Rou'er is still young, and she is not heavy, so you can take it to ride, she is our eldest 'daughter'...... is usually the most filial, but she treats Yi'er well, and she has hugged Yi'er the most times in her peers over the years, and she doesn't fight with her brother for anything...... In the future...... I can also help you take care of some of the lights in the future! β
"I've got to take it with me!" Shen Yushi frowned, and when he saw his wife's movements suddenly stopped, he pressed his anxious heart and slowed down his tone, "Besides, Yan'er is not in Xiliang?" We still have a 'girl' after all. β
Duanmu Yanyu paused for a few breaths, until Shen Yushi's clothes were all dressed, and waiting for Fei Shi to send Shen Shuyi and Shen Shuyi's bags over, she hurriedly tied her dress and said in a low voice: "But Rou'er is also our child!" β
Shen Yushi was worried at the moment, didn't hear clearly, and said, "What are you talking about...... Haven't you packed up your things yet? Rong people may enter the city at any time, although our house is not close to the west 'gate', but they are all in the same city, and we can't delay any longer! What is Fei's still rubbing? Call two more people to help...... It's really not good, just dress Yi'er! Just bring more coats! β
Duanmu Yanyu shook the hand hidden in his sleeve vigorously, got up and said, "Don't worry, children's things are trivial, I'll go and take a look." β
"Hurry up!" Shen Yushi frowned and ordered.
Duanmu Yan snorted, and quickly walked out of the 'door' to the concubine's room.
&
nbsp; Shen Yongshi waited for his wife to go out of the 'door', and then he remembered that he should also bring some soft things for later use. It's just that he usually doesn't care about everything in the backyard, except for the place where he usually puts some trivial silver, and he doesn't know where the large amount of silver tickets are, so he called the ambassador 'woman' who accompanied him outside the night to come in and ask, but the ambassador 'woman' who was panicked because of the mutation said that he couldn't remember it for a while - he frowned and went to Duanmu Yanyu to urge his son to clean up, and by the way, asked where to put the money.
But who would have thought that when he walked to the 'door' of his son's house, he heard a sharp and out-of-tune child's scream from inside - even if the sound of the Rong people attacking the city and shouting and killing was resounding throughout the city at this moment, it could not be concealed!
Shen Yu's heart suddenly sudden! The whole person suddenly fell into an ice cellar!
Almost immediately afterwards, Fei Shi cried out in horror: "Madame, you! β
Shen Yongshi staggered into the 'door', turned the screen, and immediately saw a scene that made his eyes crackle-nominally six years old, but in fact the only male heir who was only five years old, lying softly in the arms of his mother-in-law Duanmu Yanyu, his immature little face was full of pain and consternation - it could be seen that Fei Shi was waking him up and dressing him up according to Duanmu Yanyu's instructions.
The new Huangqi Sihe Ruyi pattern robe was made for him by Duanmu Yanyu in the second half of last year, which took more than a month of Chenguang to make. When it was ready, Shen Yushi also complained about why he wore such a gray 'color' tone for the child, and at that time, Duanmu Yanyu explained that Shen Shuyi was holding this piece of clothing and saying that he liked it...... But last night on Chinese New Year's Eve, Shen Shuyi still wore a big red ground brocade robe made by his grandmother Aunt Guo.
Now Fei Shi is wearing this set for him, which should be due to the reason why he should not wear too bright and 'colorful' robes when breaking through.
But none of that matters anymore...... In the position where Shen Shuyi's little hand that was tightly held by Duanmu Yanyu tried his best to probe over, in his heart, a red gold hairpin, almost the entire 'insertion' into it, leaving only a hairpin tail carved like a phoenix's eye, embedded with a ruby as red as blood, with Shen Shuyi's painful 'twitching', flashing with a cold and dazzling light!
Although there is not a lot of blood seeping out, just looking at the depth of the hairpin's 'insertion', I also know that Shen Shuyi is hopeless!
But this mother-in-law, who was at a loss until death, for some reason, who had always loved him more than his two sisters, would suddenly fall under the killer's child, still struggling instinctively, catching a glimpse of his father's figure out of the corner of his eye, Shen Shuyi weakly opened and closed his pale 'lips': "Father...... Kiss! Save...... Save...... ...... child"
He didn't finish the last word "er", because Duanmu Yanyu, who also found Shen Yushi coming in, had a cold face and a calm gaze, and the hand of the adult 'girl' easily choked Shen Shuyi's arms, and the free hand, with lightning speed, grabbed the tail of the phoenix hairpin and pulled it out fiercely!
The blood blocked by the hairpin spurted out instantly!
Duanmu Yanyu leaned back, but she didn't dodge it all, and the child's heart was full of blood sprinkled on her face - the cheeks and cheeks of the 'fine' heart and the white and delicate like a young 'woman', dripping with blood dripped on the purple ground and the 'flower' brocade clothes that she had only been on yesterday, looking at it like a life-seeking 'female' ghost!
She didn't wipe it, just pressed Shen Shuyi with one hand, grabbed the hairpin dripping blood with the other, raised her bloodstained face, her eyes were calm like a lake when there was no wind, looking at Shen Yushi, who had cold hands and feet, her face was as white as death, and her whole person was trembling, and she said in a very plain and flat tone: "Now, do you have time to bring Rou'er?"
