Let the Bianliang officials swear to defend the city to the death, which is indeed the order of the prime minister Chen Xun. As Prime Minister, he has the qualifications and authority to give such orders.

After Song Zhi fled with the top masters and central ministers of the dynasty with the help of the jade seal of the country, the dragons in Bianliang City were leaderless, and after Yuan Muzhen left, Chen Xun stood up.

It's just that as far as the current situation is concerned, it is not very easy to restrain officials, officials, and officers and men of the three armed forces to do this.

The official surnamed Zhou was killed, and although the official team in front of Chen Anzhi was shocked, in the face of the life and death crisis, some of them were deadly.

After a short hesitation, under the hysterical greeting of the wife of the official surnamed Zhou, they rushed forward together to fight with Chen Anzhi, vowing to clear him as an obstacle.

The results speak for themselves.

The long street that was crowded with people soon had more than a dozen zhang of open space.

In this team, both officials and guards became corpses lying in pools of blood.

Although Chen Anzhi is not in the Wang Ji Realm, he is already in the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, and the subordinates of a mere fourth-grade official can't move a single hair of his hair at all.

With the long sword in its sheath, Chen Anzhi glanced at the corpses on the ground, waved his hand, and asked the Chen cultivators who followed behind him to cut off the heads of those officials.

His gaze finally fell on the fleeing people around him.

Because of his killing, many people stopped.

But at the moment when the killing was completed, they began to flee in a swarm, scrambling to be the first.

Chen Anzhi's eyes flashed, but in the end he didn't say anything, turned around and jumped onto the house on the side of the street, and killed a group of fleeing officials from the roof.

At this moment, in front of the Donghua Gate Tower, there is a group of imperial ministers in scarlet clothes, facing the chaotic city, the sorrow on everyone's face is very strong.

"Both the officials and the people in the city are panicked at the moment, and it is difficult for us to prevent them from escaping from Bianliang, and we want them to obey our orders to defend the city, but I am afraid it will be even more difficult. ”

It was Zhang Yan, the head of the Mendi Zhang clan, who spoke:

"Yuanmu Zhen Heavenly Man has descended, His Majesty was forced to flee, Wang Jijing has gone, and the hearts of Bianliang people have collapsed, this is a more difficult situation than in Yanping, how can we clean up the hearts of the people?"

Chen Xun, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, said word for word: "Bianliang must be guarded! It is precisely because Your Majesty is gone that we, the families, must protect the territory and the people!"

Han Shu, the Great Elder of the Jiangmen Han style, glanced at Chen Xun, snorted contemptuously, and said bluntly:

"For so many years, Chen Xiang is called the prime minister, but in fact he is just a knife and pen in the hands of His Majesty, when the cabinet was still there, Chen Xiang was excluded from the cabinet, and he was not even as good as a knife and pen.

"But even so, Chen Xiang is still doing his best to suppress the family for His Majesty, and there are no less than thousands of family officials and generals who have been disposed of by your father and son!

"Xu Minglang is still a little smart, and he also needs to have some face, and he mostly hides behind the scenes, but in order to flatter His Majesty, you Chen don't want any disguise, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are sword and pen officials.

"You have done so many thankless bad and evil things, what is the result? A poor governor can ride on your head and act recklessly, what dignity do you have as a prime minister?

"At this step of the field, seeing that the cold door is in full swing, you are about to face the situation of the cunning rabbit and the dead lackey, Your Majesty is unreliable, so you want to make meritorious contributions in the national war, and then reshape the reputation of the family, relying on the people of the world?

"Chen Xun, I knew that now, what did I do in the first place? The Chen family is no longer allowed in the family, at this time you want to be a rafter and order the heroes to guard Tokyo, do you think this is possible?"

was ruthlessly exposed by Han Shu in front of the heads and elders of all the families, Chen Xun's old face turned black to the bottom of the pot, the corners of his mouth twitched for a while, and he couldn't say a word for a while.

The Chen family was originally the last member of the family, and in the early years, the civil and military disputes were as strong as fire, and when Xu Minglang killed the Quartet, he also wanted to be alone. It's a pity that the Chen family can be a snake with Xu Minglang, and after all, he can't compete with the general trend.

At the beginning, Chen Xun was selected by Song Zhi to replace Xu Minglang, but under Song Zhi's imperial power, Chen Xun couldn't say a word at all.

The decline of the family is a foregone conclusion, in order for the Chen family not to be destroyed like the Xu family, to be able to leave a vein of incense, in the world of the cold family, to maintain the identity of a scholarly family, and to have a foothold, Chen Xun had to be Song Zhi's minions.

How many sins he has created over the years, and how hated by the family, Chen Xun knows it well.

He wanted the Chen family to live forever, but the reality made him realize more and more that he and the Chen family would only repeat the mistakes of Xu Minglang and the Xu family.

As a family, isolated from the family, as the emperor's minions, without the emperor's respect and protection, the Chen family has no foundation.

After the outbreak of the national war, Song Zhi called on the world to work together, and kept saying that there was no difference between the poor families of the family, and Chen Xun thought that Chen's opportunity had come.

With his position as prime minister, as long as he acts fairly, he may not be able to repair the relationship with the family.

It's a pity that this is all wishful thinking on his part.

The Gao Furui incident made Chen Xun understand that it was impossible for the emperor to give up his imperial power.

For the family that has been suppressed by him and has been bitter and resentful of him, it is impossible for him not to guard against it, and it is impossible not to leave a hand.

was insulted in front of the governor Kong Yanhua that day, and Chen Xun understood that in the eyes of the emperor and the officials of the Hanmen, he was really just a biting dog.

Like a general like the Zhao family, during the National War, Song Zhi still had to rely on a few points, and after the war, Song Zhi might not be able to do anything to them in the short term.

But what about Chan?

Chen has reached the edge of the cliff, one foot hanging in the air, if he can't survive the desperate situation, then there is only one way to perish!

Now that the emperor has fled, the kings are gone, Bianliang has no blue sky and white sun, and Chen Xun has no mountain on his head.

He wanted to gather the strength of Bianliang, let go of his hands and feet, and fight to the death against the Beihu army in the Central Plains, so that the Chen clan could establish a meritorious service.

For this reason, even if he died in battle, he did not hesitate to do it.

However, today, Zhang Yan and Han Shu's attitudes made him realize that the family was no longer willing to listen to his orders.

As for the poor officials, it is even more impossible to let him drive them.

When there was an emperor on his head, although it was a big mountain that knocked out the bones and sucked the marrow, he could finally act with the authority of the emperor; without the emperor on his head, he was nothing.

He, the prime minister, can be called the most aggrieved, useless, and sad prime minister in the past.

At this time, who can help him, who can save Chen?

Who else can help him?

Who can save Chen?

Chen Xun said gloomily: "Ladies and gentlemen, Chen knows that he is guilty of great sins, his virtue is weak, and although he has the name of the prime minister, it is not enough to command everyone.

"But you and I have a grudge in the peaceful season, and all the princes are nobles of the family, can you still not know that the so-called peaceful and prosperous times are always the time when power is at its peak?

"Civil and military rivalries, family infighting, in the final analysis, isn't it all because His Majesty wants to centralize power and strengthen imperial power? The first person in the world to play a chess game, who among all beings can not become chess pieces? You and I can't help ourselves.

"Now is the period of national war, and the enemy we are facing is a foreign race, are you willing to steal my ancestors?

"Chen is willing to die guarding Bianliang, why can't the princes think about the world?"

Han Shu sneered: "What's the use of saying these high-sounding words? Han Mou, as a disciple of the Great Qi General, is a bloody battlefield, you Chen Xun is willing to die in battle, will I, Han, still be cowardly?"

"But you want my Han Shu to listen to your orders, forgive Han Shu for not being able to obey it! Chen Xun, ask yourself, what qualifications do you have to command the military and civilians of the Quartet?"

Chen Xun opened his mouth, only to feel bitter and didn't know what to say.

Zhang Yan answered at this time: "After all, Chen Xiang is the prime minister, and he has a reputation. If Chen Xiang can't command the Quartet, Han Gong, can you? If you want to guard Bianliang, someone must take the lead.

"We are still standing here because we know that Bianliang cannot be lost, and the Central Plains cannot be lost! For the sake of the foundation left by our ancestors, we are willing to fight to the death with the Beihu army!

"In terms of the overall situation, Chen Xiangtong is the best choice for the military and civilians. ”

Han Shu turned his head and glared at Zhang Yan angrily: "Zhang Yan, you are a member of the family, and you are willing to listen to Chen Xun's orders, that's your business!"

"As a disciple of the general's sect, Han has been so miserable by Xu Minglang and his Chen Chen by your family over the years, countless people in the family have been dismissed and deprived of their titles, sent to prison and exiled, and today they are willing to fight with you, regardless of the previous suspicions!

"If you want me to listen to his Chen inquiry, complete his great achievements, let him rely on the lives of my Korean-style disciples, to seek a stable position of the Chen family, and then oppress my Korean-style after the war, this is absolutely impossible!"

Zhang Yan was so angry that his hands trembled, pointed at Han Shu, and opened his mouth several times, but in the end he couldn't say anything, so he could only flick his sleeves fiercely.

To get to the bottom of it, Han Shu's words are not unreasonable.

None of us are saints, so how can we ask others to have no selfish thoughts? Even if they are saints and have a family behind them, they can't think more about it.

While everyone was silent, the situation inside the city gate had deteriorated to the point of being out of control.

In order to gather the people's and material resources to defend the city, the city gate has long been closed, and the officials and soldiers in the city are not allowed to leave, but at this time, with more and more people flocking to the city gate, it has formed a trend of storming the city gate.

The cultivators of the various families who maintained order had a very hard time blocking it, and many of them were swept to the ground, seeing that these people were about to open the city gates.

It is impossible for the cultivators of all families to kill civilians indiscriminately, but just by persuasion and obstruction, when the people are panicking and fighting for their lives, they all seem too pale and powerless.

"Let us out!"

"Why are the gates closed? Your Majesty has fled, and we are not allowed to escape?!"

"These officials want us all to die here, can we agree?"

"Rush, rush out!"

"The imperial court can't beat the Hu people, but they want us to accompany Bianliang to the funeral, what is the reason?!"

"Rush, rush out, whoever dares to stop it, just fight with them!"

"Desperately, desperately!"

“......”

The people who can't see the end at a glance are in turmoil.

In this situation, they seem to have turned into wild beasts, constantly knocking down the children of the family who are blocking the way, and they are going to open the city gate and embark on the road to survival.

Seeing the group of family cultivators standing in front of the city gate, they couldn't help but use the power of cultivation to blast back the people who rushed in front of them, but it triggered a stronger counterattack, they couldn't kill people but had to be overwhelmed by the crowds, and the faces of the various family dignitaries in front of the city tower were as ugly as the bottom of a pot.

"The people's hearts are out of control, even if Han is willing to listen to your orders, can you make this city lose confidence and hope, and the people who are only left with survival instinct in a panic will go back obediently and obey the arrangement?"

Looking at the dense and angry people under the city, Han Shu couldn't help but face as white as paper.

When he said this to Chen Xun, the defense and hostility in his eyes had been lifted a lot, and the situation had reached this point, if Chen Xun could stabilize the people, he might be able to listen to Chen Xun's orders.

But how easy is it to stop hundreds of thousands of people?

Chen Xun, who was stiff, could only be stunned there, looking at the people all over the city in despair, there was no way at all. If it was only the officials who fled, he could kill the officials, but with so many people here, could he still kill the people indiscriminately?

"Chen Xiang, Zhang Gong Han Gong, look at it!"

At this moment, a patriarch pointed to the military camp outside the city and made a shocked noise.

When everyone heard the sound and turned around, when they saw the situation in the barracks, they were all like mourning.

The soldiers in the barracks outside the city have begun to leave the camp, gather, and flee!

The garrisons outside Bianliang City were mainly the troops of the defense envoys, and some rebels, all of whom had been ordered by Chen Xun before, to be sure to sit in the camp and not to settle any accounts.

But now, they have begun to flee without permission!

"It's over...... The people in the city fled in panic, and now even the army has begun to break away, how can this Bianliang still be defended? Central Plains...... The Central Plains can't be defended!"

Han Shu's body shook, if it wasn't for the people around him to support him in time, he was afraid that he would have fallen to the ground.

Chen Xun, Zhang Yan and others were all discouraged.

The only thing they feel now is despair.

The hearts of the people and the army have collapsed, how can Bianliang still defend the war?

If Bianliang is not protected, how can the Central Plains be guarded?

The Central Plains was lost, and Yunzhou and Qilu were unable to support themselves, and they could only be swallowed up by the Beihu army!

The land of the Central Plains, although the wealth is not as rich as Huainan, but it is the place with the most people in the imperial dynasty, once the Central Plains falls, the Jin land has also become an isolated island, and it is categorically impossible to maintain.

How can Daqi compete with Beihu in the future?

How can this national war be fought?

The victory of the national war is already a dream bubble!

"Sinners, sinners!"

Chen Xun exhaled angrily, his face was blue and purple, after all, he still couldn't hold back, a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and when everyone hurriedly helped, he looked up at the sky with tears on his face, and shouted helplessly:

"We are all sinners of the Great Qi! shameless to face the ancestors and ancestors, shameless to face the ancestors and ancestors!"

Zhang Yan also looked up at the sky, tears in his eyes, and was full of sorrow: "Why is this, why is it here? Why have I come to this point, why have I come to this point, why have I come to this point?

Han Shu sat down on the ground in a daze, clenched his fists and trembled his shoulders, blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, as a disciple of the general, although he was unwilling to lose the qualification to win on the battlefield, he could only mutter:

"Who will save Daqi, who can save my Daqi?!"

The rest of the family heads and elders were all in pain.

At this moment, layers of green clouds rose from nowhere in the gloomy sky.

But in the blink of an eye, Qingyun swept a radius of hundreds of zhang.

When everyone was stunned, two cyan pairs of training suddenly fell from the clouds!

One fell outside the barracks and killed hundreds of soldiers who had just escaped!

The mutation came too fast and too violently, and the follow-up soldiers stopped abruptly.

The other fell inside the Donghua Gate, and the people who attacked the cultivators of the family and wanted to open the city gate like beasts were shattered in an instant, bursting through the blood mist, and more than a thousand people died on the spot!

Qingmang was even in front of the city gate, plowing a huge blood-colored trench!

So the rest of the people stood still.

At the same time, a majestic and firm voice smashed down from the sky: "The big war is imminent, and those who flee from the battle, regardless of officials, soldiers and civilians, will not be forgiven!"

Countless soldiers and civilians were dumbfounded.

Chen Xun, Zhang Yan, Han Shu and others were already shocked.

They saw a man slowly falling from mid-air.

Seeing that person, everyone is like a person in the dark who sees the starlight, and like a person who is about to drown and grabs a straw, they are all surprised and surprised.

I saw that the man looked down on them, and taught lightly: "As an important minister of the dynasty and a pillar of the country, when the country is in danger and the society is in danger, he doesn't want to serve the country with blood, but he is crying and crying here, why did he come?"
