But these trivial thoughts will eventually come together, except for the father who is a bit of a loser, everyone else always wants their own good family.

What if the family didn't have just one room, and the father had brothers, and they also had sons who wanted to plan for a future?

If Xiao Pei can hold on, it will be good for everyone.

It's very good, and the merit is the generals who defend the city, and the others just serve passively, especially those wealthy families, who send servants to follow the people to the city and the city to be busy, and they can only get a few empty words of praise from white teeth.

In terms of meritorious deeds, I can't talk about it.

Liu Bei doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, even if he is alive, he may not be able to defeat Yuan Gong, even if he is lucky enough to get a life and return, he can only see those few warriors with heads and faces, how can he think of them?

But what if Liu Bei died?

They were worried day and night at home, thinking a lot, wanting to escape for a while, and trying their best to let people go to the army to find out the news, but there was information from Zhecheng.

Guo Tu's letter was sent in at that time, and it was a fragment of information obtained a long time later through some survivors who escaped from Xiaopei and prisoners of the Jizhou army.

The general content of the letter was pieced together by Lu Bai, roughly saying that Liu Bei lost his troops and lost his generals, Lu Lian had no merit in advancing an inch, the soldiers were exhausted, and the food was exhausted, so why wait until that day? If you look at it, you will know that the four states of Qingxu and Yanyu have been fighting for years and years, the population is depressed, and the thousands of miles are desolate, where are there still extra soldiers and excess grain?

But after this battle, Liu Bei doesn't have to worry about his life, he is an old revolutionary, as long as he brings his own soldiers and horses and flees all the way south, won't Liu Biao take him in and give him a city and a bowl of rice to eat? How did he come to Xu Zhou in the first place, and naturally he has the ability to find a place to live in Jingzhou!

Liu Bei is not from Xu Zhou, he has no foundation here, he can leave if he wants, can you do the same?

Could it be that the battle has reached this step, and you still have to follow him to burn all the jade?

The letter could not be found, nor could the wealthy families whom he had bewitched.

Maybe it wasn't a letter, but several, a dozen, and the letter may have hinted that there was this letter as proof, and when the eldest prince entered the city, he could keep his wealth and safety.

But there are still some things in the middle that the defenders can't understand, even if they have the means to quietly send a letter into the city under the premise of strict precautions, how did the wealthy families make up their minds to do something?

The letter may have promised something else, something that would never have been available under Liu Bei's rule, or perhaps it had terrified them so much that they made up their minds to instigate a desperate rebellion against the gates of the city.

It was a snowy night, and after dark, there was a curfew in the city, and the people went home to sleep, and there was no one on the street.

Someone knocked on Jiao Dou and walked past the gorgeous mansions with bluestone corners.

The lacquered doors of the mansion were silent, except for the side doors that crept open.

A mermaid with a scarf around his head came out.

Equipped with a long knife and carrying a torch, it looks like a spark that suddenly bursts out in the dark Xiaopei City.

The leader couldn't walk a few steps in the alley when he knocked on the side door of another mansion.

So the high courtyard wall was also lit with torches, and swayed under the eaves, and in a moment it merged into the fire outside the courtyard.

One by one, the doors were opened, and there were only five households in total, and there were not many people, and there were not the richest households in Xiapi. Those days were also when Lu Bai was a little unwell, she didn't fall asleep until she was near, and she had to get up to check all kinds of military supplies, she was very tired, and the defenders were also very tired.

But she didn't sleep well, when the cangtou rebels approached the city gate, a vigilant defender saw it on the top of the city, and immediately knocked on the Jiao Dou to warn, Lu Bai also immediately got up, and joined in this battle to defend the city.

But it was still too late, because the defenders in the city were already insufficient, and the Jizhou army had been lying in ambush in the wind and snow outside the city for a long time.

Their faces were as green as steel, and their skin had been torn open by countless arrows.

By the time they saw the fire in the city, many of them were already cold and unconscious.

It was with such a grudge that they pushed the ladder truck and the rush car and rushed to Xiaopei City!

The defenders held out for a long time, but it was better to fight at night than during the day, and it took a long time for them to figure out how many enemy troops there were on the other side of the city, and how they should be deployed.

A small number of rebels were killed, and most of them fled in the night, but set fire everywhere in the city, and the fire became more and more intense, until when half of Xiaopei's night sky was red, and some Jizhou troops had already jumped on the city wall.

The Jizhou army continued to climb the city wall, like dense ants, and finally converged into a black tide, which spread rapidly and violently to the city.

- It was Zang Ba who was the first to speak out, saying that the city could not be defended and that he had to retreat to Xiapi.

Zhang Chao was not convinced, but Lu Bai soon came.

"This city can't be defended." She said, "We need to get out of the city immediately." ”

This good student of Lu Lian collapsed in an instant.

"The imperial court has entrusted us with a heavy responsibility! Now is the time to repay the country with death, how can you say such a thing of regret! ”

The face that was so vicissitudes that he couldn't see the pampered appearance of the past looked at Zang Ba for help, and after realizing his Taishan Kou background, he looked at Lu Bai again.

But Lu Bai didn't cry in front of Lu Bu at all, determined to die for the country, and her expression was cold in the firelight.

"Zhecheng can't tell the winner for the rest of the month, and Xiapi can't get reinforcements, we are the supporters!" She said categorically, "Does Meng Gaogong want to throw the last support of the imperial court here?" ”

Zhang Chao opened his mouth and closed it in pain.

"Then let us withdraw," he said, "and many ...... in the city."

"They are following behind, and each household has its own male to protect them," Zang said domineeringly, "We can't take care of those many people." ”

Zhang Chao noticed that when Zang Ba said this, Lu Bai pondered for a moment.

"Send a hundred and ten men to fetch Lu Bu and his soldiers' families," she said, "and let's go together." ”

Zang Ba looked at her suddenly, "The army is like fire, Yuan Yi will enter the city in a moment, how can he have time to pick up those women?" ”

Lu Bai in the firelight nodded lightly, "I'm also a woman." ”

There were cries in the crowd leaving the city on this snowy night, but many more did not even cry.

Many of these people who were excluded from the conspiracy were Yanzhou people brought by Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao's brothers, who left their hometowns and came to Xiaopei, and spent several years finally cultivating farmland, building houses, buying shops in the city, and making a living, and suddenly there was nothing left.

When they fled from the city, they didn't even bring many of their belongings, some brought a few buckets of rice, some brought two pieces of cloth, and some loaded the old lady with a flatbed cart and ran out of the city.

They could not stop for a moment when there were shouts of killing, and they did not even have time to envy the woman in the chariot when they saw a chariot and horse passing by.

The woman in the cart did not say a word, took a small cushion and leaned against the wall of the car, covered her body with a fur coat, and fell asleep in the bumps of the dirt road.

There is also a faint gold and silver thread hook on the big box, and the gold buckle at the neckline is sewn by herself.

Originally, Mrs. Wei thought that jade buttons were more beautiful, but she said that a person like a god like her husband should be full of golden talent.

The big one is already very worn, and in a few places it has even polished the hair on it, revealing the skin underneath, which is very ugly.

But she fell asleep around such a shabby big tree, and she even had a dream.

In the dream, there were shouts of killing, horses' hooves, and screams.

There are also in front of her, coming from far and near.

She was so familiar with the voices that she didn't even bother to open her eyes to see where she was heading and what her situation was.

I don't know how long it took, but the noise finally stopped.

The sound of the wind and snow seems to have stopped.

Outside, there was only the sound of people walking around, shoes and boots running over the snow and ice.

Suddenly, someone whispered a whisper, and then someone whispered to reassure him.

Mrs. Yan suddenly had a stirring in the cart without a fire and woke up.

She rubbed her hands together and let out another breath before she lifted the curtain a little and looked out.

The new snow in the forest is blue-purple, and the people sitting on the carts and stones in the snow are also blue-purple, and the wives and children of the people in the vicinity of the carts are also blue-purple. They were calming up faster, and were gathering the new snow, eating it carefully in their mouths to quench their thirst in the middle of the night.

And then there were the female soldiers, also blue-purple, with crossbows in their arms, leaning against the trees, resting and looking around alertly.

Her gaze swept over the people in front of her inch by inch, they were all blurred, although some people were talking to her, some people were carrying Changge, and they were gesturing, but Mrs. Yan didn't pay attention. She was silent and in a trance, until she saw the man on horseback in the distance.

It had been a long time since the man had worn a magnificent golden crown and brocade robe, and he came in a hurry and repelled the pursuing Jizhou people, with a large area of black blood on his body, which looked very scary from a distance. The female soldiers were unmoved by the battle, and some of the women and children among the people immediately hid behind their families in fright.

But when he scrambled to the cart with another twist on his horse's belly, and the white hair under his turban floated in the air, she suddenly felt that there was another layer of golden light on him.

Not much, just a little.

But it was enough to distinguish him from others.

At the beginning of the day after the snow, when the sky was about to brighten, someone brought a bronze mirror and asked the eldest prince to take a closer look.

The eldest prince was dressed in bronze armor polished like a mirror, shining brightly in the morning light, like a general forged by the gods of gold, not like a mortal.

He took a picture of the front and back like this, and was about to enter the city with great ambition, and when he felt the cheers and love of the city sergeant, suddenly someone came in a hurry and grabbed his reins.

"The eldest prince," Guo Tu stared at him with two eyes, "the eldest prince can't enter the city." ”

Yuan Tan frowned, "Why not?" ”

"The eldest prince enters the city at this time, and the powerful in the city will definitely rush to serve in front of the horse."

"The princes are willing to take the risk of opening the city gate for me at night, and even if they don't succeed, they have set a fire to help me," Yuan Tan asked, "Why can't I go into the city and get acquainted with them?" ”

Guo Tu's warm and kind eyes narrowed slightly.

"If you enter the city, you must restrain the soldiers."

"Naturally, military discipline must be restricted, how can Mr. Gongze ask this?"

"The soldiers have been besieging the city for a long time and have suffered many casualties, so it is time for them to boost their morale," Guo Tuwen said, "If the eldest prince restrains them at this time, what will he do to break through Xiapi in the future?" ”

Mr. Gong Ze looked up at him in the morning light, like any scholar with a full stomach.

But his hint sent a chill down the god-like man on horseback.

"They believe in me, they believe that I am as good as Lu Lian, so they will open the city gate and welcome me in." Yuan Tan said weakly.

Guo Tu smiled and nodded slightly, as if he hadn't heard him say anything.

"In three days, the eldest prince will be able to enter the city and settle the people."

Chapter 594

Xiao Peicheng ran for the most part.

The people of Bingzhou must be a person who has run away without landing, they have a kind of mysterious belief in their generals, they must not stay, those servants who help the veterans raise horses, as well as the families of the people of Bingzhou, all began to prepare to go out of the city to bring their belongings when the city was on fire, so after the female soldiers of the healthy women's battalion came in a hurry, it didn't take much time, just a hasty inventory, and they took them out of the city.

The people of Yanzhou have almost run away, they are Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao's subordinates, they know each other well, as long as the family hears the order, everyone runs out in a panic without hesitation.

These two kinds of people have their own lords to follow, and they will not be moved by Yuan Tan, so they are very resolute, but the locals of Xiaopei are different.

They hesitated and questioned each other.

- When the eldest prince enters the city, will he plunder?

- How so? Do you think that there is only one general in the world, Lu Lian, who has strict military discipline, generosity and love for the people?
