Chapter 908: A Void (II)

Coming out of the palace, Guo Han returned to the original Shuai Mansion, the current Taiwei Mansion, and summoned the Chinese warriors of the city to pacify and set the tone.

And with his rather organized arrangements and rhetoric, a magical scene really happened.

Those officials and others really pulled out of their previous panic and became confident in holding Liangzhou again.

Especially after knowing that Guo Han had asked Song Qiyun to take half of the elite soldiers to set up a card to intercept them in a hundred miles away, everyone's hearts were even more relaxed. With General Song personally leading the troops to fortify, he will be able to ensure the stability of the rear.

"Then I know the whole city, so that everyone does not have to be so nervous, and the gates of the city are opened. What it was before, and what it is now. In this way, we can unite people's hearts, otherwise we will be in chaos before the enemy arrives. ”

Guo Han made arrangements in an orderly manner: "Also, in other counties, villages and towns in Liangzhou, we will also send more people to pacify them, and tell them that even if the army in the south is killed, my Liangzhou Imperial Court and my Guo family will definitely not give up on them!" ”

This strategy was revealed, and all the subordinates agreed one after another, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

They knew that from this moment on, Liang Zhou would go all out to deal with the impending crisis under the leadership of the young marshal. And they also believe that under the leadership of the young marshal, they will definitely be able to resolve this crisis and achieve the final victory.

This kind of emotional influence and infection can only be given to Guo Yan and the current Guo Han.

In this way, he was busy for a long time, until it was dark, and all kinds of things in the city were solved by Guo Han, and then he returned to the backyard to visit his father.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw his father looking at him with a reassuring smile, which made Guo Han immediately happy, and hurriedly rushed to the bed with two steps: "Father......"

"You're finally back. I knew that you would definitely return to Liangzhou in time......" Guo Yan said softly, his face full of joy.

"Father, the son is not filial, and he can't rush back at the first time, which makes you worried."

"Hehe, you don't have to blame yourself, it's all my fault...... It was I who underestimated the Dayue Imperial Court and underestimated Sun Ning, and I was in a hurry to advance that led to this big defeat and crisis......"

Guo Yan smiled bitterly, raised his hand slightly, stopped his son from speaking, and said with difficulty: "Since you have returned, all kinds of problems in the city have been settled, right?" ”

Guo Han calmed down, and then said: "Yes, I took down Lao Wu and Gu Huaiyi, as well as Sun Xian, although it is not good to treat him, but next, he doesn't want to say a word out of the palace gate again." As for the others, they are now willing to obey my orders, and the city of Liangzhou will soon be settled again, and they will be united in waiting for the enemy. ”

"Thank you for your hard work...... Guo Yan raised his hand again, Guo Han understood, and hurriedly reached out to hold his father's somewhat cold hand: "This is what a child should do!" ”

"Then do you think that in such a situation, we can have a chance of winning and can we stop the imperial army?" Guo Yan's face suddenly turned grim, and he asked again.

Between father and son, there is no such evasion, if there is a question, ask it directly, and even the name of the enemy does not have to be deliberately embellished.

The gloom on Guo Han's face flashed: "I don't have much confidence, I can only try my best......"

"You're fine, you didn't say anything big in front of me...... At present, Liangzhou, compared with the imperial army, has fallen into an extremely disadvantageous disadvantage.

"Even if there are generals such as you and Song Qiyun, in the case that the morale of the army is inevitably inferior and the strength of the troops is also insufficient, I am afraid it is really difficult to have a chance of winning if you defend it."

Guo Yan seemed to be relieved, and seemed to have reluctantly made his own judgment, which also made Guo Han's heart sink even more.

He thought that his family still had a thirty percent chance, but in his father's opinion, he didn't even have a chance of one or two percent?

"It's all my fault......" Guo Yan said with self-reproach.

"Father, that's not what I said, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and your defeat in Xiangyang is just missing Sun Ning......"

"I'm not talking about the defeat of Xiangyang, but about a bigger mistake before. I was actually lost for a while, and tried in vain to set up another court and a new son of heaven...... As a result, there is no room for turning around between us and the imperial court.

"If there is no such thing, even if we can't hold Liangzhou, there is still a possibility of surrender. But now, even if we surrender, I am afraid that we will not escape death. ”

Guo Han lowered his eyes and was silent, he was actually against this at the beginning. However, his father at that time thought that Sun Ning would inevitably not be able to go back alive, and that it would be of great use for his own family to master the vassal king Sun Xian, so he was busy making him the new king.

Before, I persuaded myself a few times, but now...... My father is like this, so why bother talking about it?

"So surrender is no longer possible, if you want to keep my Guo family alive, except for holding Liangzhou, there is only one last way left." As he spoke, Guo Yan suddenly clenched his son's hand, his face became extremely solemn, and he stared at him, "Han'er, you must listen carefully to what you say next." ”

"Father, please tell me that the child will do as you say."

"If you can keep it, you don't need to say more. But once it can't be done, then you must not stick to it to the end for the sake of the so-called inheritance. We can retreat and leave Liangzhou! ”

His father's words made Guo Han change color, and he said urgently: "Father, this ...... Where can we retreat? ”

"Head north. Didn't I already ask people to open up the state cities of Jindi in the first two years? It was the back road left for this day......"

"But more than half of the Jin Land is now in the hands of the Ghost Rong people, and Li Wannian of the Pingtian Army ......" Guo Han made a mistake.

"You have heard clearly, this matter is very important, and we must not let the people below know before we arrive in Jindi...... In fact, in the past few years, I have had a lot of contacts with the Wei Department of the Ghost Rong Chamber, and the people they are plotting are also very large, and they really intend to enter the Central Plains.

"But our existence, as well as the rise of the Pingtian Army, coupled with their internal problems, have been plaguing the leaders of the Murowei Tribe...... Therefore, as long as we surrender at that time, as long as we are willing to cooperate with them to fight with the Peaceful Heavenly Army, then there will be a place for us in Jindi...... Do you see what I mean? ”

Guo Han stayed there completely, this is to let himself collude, or even take refuge in foreigners......

"Han'er, I know you don't want to do this, but for the survival of our Guo family, you can only choose this path...... It was because of what my father did wrong in the first place that led to today's bitter fruit. You ......" Guo Yan said, unable to catch it in one breath, and coughed violently.

Seeing this, Guo Han hurriedly patted him on the back, and knew that there was no better choice at this time, so he could only respond busily: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely do what you say to protect my Guo family's ......"

It's just that in this way, Liangzhou, which has accumulated for several generations and has been operating for a hundred years, may also become empty.

Some people died, but not completely......
