Chapter 599: Defending the City
Back in the small courtyard of the thatched house, Xiao Yezi was asleep on the desk.
Wandering all the way, Ye Zi's mood was not very high, and he became cheerful when he returned to the familiar and warm thatched house, ran to the house and tried to lift the little leaf with a saliva face to the bed, gently wiped his little face, and quietly watched his sister sleep in front of the bed.
A certain white also squatted down to look at the small leaves.
"Sir. ”
"Huh?"
"Later...... Let's never go down the mountain again, I'll do the laundry and firewood~"
Hearing this, Bai Yujun reached out and touched the withered yellow hair of the leaf, and the leaf squinted and hummed comfortably, like a little stray cat, the child experienced too many bad things and was easy to have a sense of escapism.
"Born in the world is involuntarily, many things are unavoidable, not to mention people, even monsters can't be free and unrestrained. ”
The leaves are depressed.
Touching the little head again, the furry one is very comfortable to touch.
"Yezi, be strong, you still have to take care of your sister, it's good that there are good and bad habits in the world. ”
Bai Yujun started to cook dinner, washed the dishes and brushed the pot, and the leaves were responsible for cooking, but it was a certain white thing, and a seven-year-old girl could not be expected to make delicious food.
Go to the lotus pond at the bottom of the mountain to dig out the fresh and tender lotus roots, and confirm that there is no lotus essence before digging.
Wash the lotus root and peel off the outer skin from one end, take out the soaked glutinous rice and stuff the lotus root with chopsticks little by little, this is a slow work and fine work, the leaves see the curiosity to run to help, roll up the sleeves and be curious to learn Bai Yujun to stuff the glutinous rice, and fix the cut lotus root with a thin wooden skewer after completion.
Soon prepare a large pile of lotus roots stuffed with glutinous rice.
That's right, a certain white to make osmanthus glutinous rice lotus, glutinous sweet, osmanthus fragrant, soft and sweet, do not stop a foodie's diligent pursuit of delicious food, busy life always take a break to enjoy a moment of happiness.
Turning out osmanthus red dates and brown sugar, at present, you can only find these seasonings, although they can't make the best, but they are not much worse.
Ye Zi has completely become a little fart at this moment, the fart is helping to add firewood, his face is blackened by smoke, his big eyes are staring at the hot casserole, and the unique fragrance of osmanthus completely captures the snack goods.
The casserole is in the shed next to the thatched house, the sky is getting dark, and the charcoal fire on the stove is crackling and burning to dissipate heat......
Remove from heat and cut into slices and arrange.
You don't need to wake up the little leaves, put the osmanthus glutinous rice lotus in front of the little nose and get up energetically, and sit around the wooden table to eat delicious.
The army of the Yan Kingdom marched south overnight, conquering city after city.
Hundreds of years of war have long made the people forget that they once belonged to the same empire, although the clothes are the same, the language is the same, and even the surname and books are the same, but the heart is still instinctively hostile to people outside the kingdom, these princes and warlords have persevered in dividing and achieving great results, and tearing up the legacy left by the Tang Empire.
The Yan army was unstoppable, and many places symbolically resisted and surrendered, and the rearrangement of officials in the receiving territory involved the division of interests, and the speed of progress was not very fast.
I heard that King Wu no longer held court meetings, because no one went to the civil and military officials.
Many magnates have made it clear that they have abandoned the royal family and are ready to board the new ship, and several famous generals of the end of the road have died and scattered, and it is said that there is still a veteran to guard the city wall.
Bai Yujun seemed to be able to hear King Wu's abuse in the palace from afar, and everyone except himself scolded.
At the end of the road such as drinking to kill sorrows, the surrender of the troops that were finally squeezed out surrendered was scattered, except for the city guards, there were no more troops, even if they wanted to recruit, they couldn't be recruited, and they couldn't do anything without the cooperation of the nobles.
The wind and rain are shaking, and the hillside grass is quiet and comfortable......
......
Early autumn.
The autumn wind and autumn rain are cool, and the army is overwhelmed.
Bai Yujun led the leaves to sit on the city gate tower to witness the final battle, hiding his body with a simple phantom array, and the overgrown roof of the city gate tower could see the overall situation clearly, and the autumn breeze was cool.
The Chibi people did not send troops to help again, and refused to come even if the bounty was large.
The defenders on the wall are sparse and demoralized, and I am afraid that at this moment, I hope that those big masters will surrender as soon as possible and save their lives for no reason.
The Yan army was blocked outside the city, densely packed with banners, Qiao Jin was wearing armor and holding a silver spear across the war horse, but her face was entangled, looking at the familiar city and not knowing what to do, just when she was entangled, the city gate suddenly opened......
The heavy gates rumbled and stopped halfway through.
Bai Yujun was curious, grabbed the leaf and stood aside to see what was happening, and heard a noise in the city gate.
"Old General Xiong, you have also seen it, the king has gone against the grain and caused the disaster of destroying the country, we are all the people of the Tang Dynasty, do you want to let these city guards be buried with you for the sake of the king?"
"Traitors! You traitors! Disasters and chaos will descend without a fight! What about Nanwu and others? Treacherous people!"
The old man's voice cursed, angry that the nobles in the city dared to open the city gate to meet the enemy.
It's a pity that it's useless, the nobility never cares about infamy.
"It's just in accordance with the will of heaven, General Xiong still thinks more about his family and the soldiers under his command, why give his life in vain when the matter has come to this, you see, even if the city gate is opened, the Yan army has not taken the opportunity to attack the city, this is a righteous army. ”
There are many nobles who can speak well in the city gate cave, and the gray-haired general surnamed Xiong is the general of the city guard, and the nobles quarrel with the old general.
The defenders were silent, and now the matter is irreparable, and no one wants to die in vain.
To put it mildly, they all died in vain today, and their families could not get pensions and may even be investigated in the future, the characteristics of this era are that there is no sense of belonging, including the Yan soldiers, and the people only know that the emperor and the nobles have the final say, unless they encounter that irreconcilable foreign invasion, it doesn't matter who is the king.
"Close the gates! I'm the general!"
The soldiers and young men near the city gate bowed their heads, neither closing the city gate nor continuing to open the city gate.
"You...... You ......"
The old general Xiong was completely desperate and understood that he was really powerless.
The nobles continued to sneer, and their voices buzzed through the gates of the city, making the old general uncomfortable, and no one wanted to defend the city with him, and it was all over......
Silent turned around and walked out of the city gate without saying a word.
I looked up at the gloomy drizzling sky, and then at the dense army opposite.
"It's over......"
Raise your hand to wipe away the rain or tears from your face.
"Kill!"
Drawing his sword, he shouted hoarsely and rushed towards the Yan army......
Too old, he didn't run far, he suddenly fell into the mud, he finally got up and wiped his face, and he continued to shout and charge without caring about the helmet falling off.
Covered in mud and white hair, all eyes were stunned and staring at the lonely old man seeking death.
"Kill!"
The road was muddy, and it didn't go far and sank into the mud, and when he struggled to crawl out of the puddle, he lost a boot, and his sword was not exposed in the mud, and he continued to rush out of breath, and slammed into the dense spears head-on......
The nobles were dumbfounded, not understanding what had happened to him.
The soldiers in the city were sad and ashamed, and no one thought that General Xiong would do this.
"Stop!"
Qiao Jin yelled and gave the order, but it was too late, and the soldiers in front of the military formation reflexively raised their spears, and in an instant, three or four spears pierced the veteran's body, and this time the veteran fell down and couldn't get up.
There was a dead silence......
