321 Some people choose to surrender, some people choose death
The next city after Xunyang is Pudong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The news that the Jin people "attacked" Xunyang had already spread to Pudong, and the people in the city were panicked.
In this society, there are no secrets.
Although many of the cities ahead practiced a policy of non-resistance, the Jin army did not stop the autumn from committing crimes.
It is true that the officers and soldiers who chose to surrender were not greatly damaged, but the people in the city fell into blood mold.
Fighting a war is not charity, and the golden people will not be polite.
Of course, it is undeniable that they have indeed converged a lot.
Because the real goal of the Jin people is the capital, which is the most prosperous and rich place in the south of the Yangtze River.
In order to break through the capital as soon as possible, it is acceptable to give up some small advantages first.
So now in Pudong, the atmosphere in the city is very weird.
A city will definitely not be able to stop the 100,000 army of the Jin people.
Is it possible to surrender in order to let the Jin people loot a little less and learn from some of their peers in front of them?
"Absolutely not. ā
Pu Dong's voice was loud and sound.
"General Guan, Zhong read the book of sages, and learned to sacrifice his life for righteousness, not to surrender on his knees. Since the war, our Great Song Dynasty has been defeated and retreated, and the shame is extremely great, and I hope that the general Gao Yi will blow the horn of resistance for my Great Song Dynasty. Zhong Xin bowed to the ground.
"That's a nice thing to say, why don't you be so polite to my brother on weekdays?" a man with a thief's eyebrows sneered: "It's too late for Jin to call to know that my brother is important." ā
Zhong Xin's face was blue and white.
This person who ridiculed him was a thief who only stole chickens and dogs on weekdays, nicknamed "Flea on the Drum", and his full name was Shi Qian.
Some time ago, he was caught stealing money and put in prison by him, and he was only released two days ago.
On weekdays, he doesn't look at this kind of little person.
But I don't know what shit luck he had, and he got on the line with Guan Sheng, the general of Pudong's inspection, and was appreciated by Guan Sheng.
On weekdays, Zhong Xin is not afraid of Guan Sheng, they have a different path of civil and martial arts, and there has been no friction before.
But now that it's time for war, Guan Sheng's position is obviously much more important than his.
Zhong Xin gritted his teeth and endured it.
He forcibly held back the humiliation and said: "General Guan, Zhong Mou has offended a lot on weekdays, and I hope that General Guan Haihan." As long as he can defeat the Jin soldiers, Zhong is willing to be disposed of by General Guan. ā
"Cut, repel the golden soldiers? How can you repel 100,000 golden soldiers? The garrison in the city is only 5,000. If you want to send you to death, don't bother my brother. "When the time changes, the villain is ambitious, and it is naturally rampant.
"And what do you say to defeat Jin Bing and then let my brother dispose of it, there is a kind of self-determination that you will cut yourself now. Shi Qian added.
Guan Sheng had been silent before, and only then did he slowly speak: "Brother Shi, you have to be forgiving and forgiving." Lord Zhong, it's not that Guan doesn't want to fight Jinren, but he really can't beat it. ā
"General, if Zhong really cuts himself here, can you go out and fight with the Jin people? You have always lamented that Huai Cai has never met on weekdays, and now is the time for the general to serve the country, how can you easily retreat?" Zhong Xin made the last effort.
"You're dead first. Shi Qian's tone became more and more hateful.
Zhong Xin didn't pay attention to the changes of time, and kept looking at Guan Sheng closely.
People like Shi Qian are villains at all times.
But Guan Sheng is the only figure he can expect now.
Guan Sheng's face is like a red date, his eyebrows are in his temples, his phoenix eyes are facing the sky, and he has a heroic appearance.
At this moment, he looked at Zhong Xin, who had always had many contradictions with his political views, and the look in his eyes was very complicated.
"Are you really willing to die to resist Jin Bing?" Guan Sheng couldn't help but ask.
Zhong Xin and Guan Sheng's colleagues for many years, as soon as they heard it, they knew that Guan Sheng still had a loyal heart, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, and a smile appeared on the corner of their mouths.
Shi Qian also heard that something was wrong, and hurriedly persuaded: "Brother, don't be deceived by his hypocrisy. These literati have always only persuaded others to die, but they themselves enjoy glory and wealth......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a loud bang.
There were also panicked screams from the subordinates.
Shi Qian was stunned, turned his head in confusion, and the scene in his eyes surprised him.
Zhong Xin actually hit the pillar.
The sound just now was the sound of him hitting the pillar.
When did the literati have this kind of integrity?
Guan Sheng was even more surprised, he strode to the pillar, squatted down, and looked at Zhong Xin, who was covered in blood, already a little at a loss.
"Lord Zhong, Guan is offended, Guan is ......"
He didn't know what to say.
On weekdays, he and Zhong Xin really have a deep grudge, and today is not just a provocation of the times, his impression of Zhong Xin is not good.
But Guan Sheng never thought that Zhong Xin actually had the courage to persuade him to death.
This completely turned his perception on its head.
Zhong Xin's hands trembled and raised, and Guan Sheng hurriedly held his hands.
I only heard Zhong Xin tremble and say, "General Guan, Wen ...... Death to the death and death to the death, this is what civil and military officials should do...... things. I don't want us to be a laughing stock, I can die, but I can't let future generations be ashamed of me. General, fight, stand ......"
By the end, he was speechless.
Guan Sheng has a heavenly cultivation, but at this moment, his body is also trembling.
It wasn't until this moment that he understood that the civil officials he looked down on on weekdays also had men.
And those who were his brothers on weekdays have already become deserters in this war.
It wasn't until Zhong Xin completely took his breath that Guan Sheng put him down.
"Come, prepare a good coffin for Lord Zhong. Guan Sheng commanded.
"Yes, sir. ā
The people hurriedly retreated.
"Wait a minute, get me a pair too. ā
Guan Sheng stopped the subordinate who was about to leave.
Shi Qian was anxious when he heard it.
"Brother Guan, what are you doing here? Don't forget that Elder Chen has promised that he will definitely let you take the helm of the first army again in the future, and he will definitely not be punished for avoiding war. ā
Guan Sheng's eyebrows drooped, not letting Shi Qian see his expression.
He said lightly: "Brother Shi, I'm sorry, Guan is a good man, and he doesn't stay with the beggars." ā
"Do you really think you can defeat the Jin soldiers?" Shi Qian smiled angrily, with a sarcastic look in his eyes.
"Whether you can fight or not, and whether you can fight or not, are two different things, you don't understand. Guan Sheng's tone remained flat.
Shi Qian trembled, he originally persuaded Guan Sheng to join the beggar gang, he would be able to get Chen Jin's reception, and his status in the beggar gang would also be one step closer.
Now, there is nothing left, and I can't say that I will be punished when I go back.
Thinking of this, he became more and more resentful of Guan Sheng.
"Guan Sheng, if you don't know what to lift, you will regret it. Time shifted and prepared to leave.
But he only took one step and could no longer walk.
Shi Qian lowered his head and looked at his belly, his eyes full of disbelief.
There, the tip of a knife is exposed.
"Big Knife" Guan Sheng is a master of the military.
How could he be provoked by a thief?
"Brother Shi, I'm sorry, I'll take your sacrificial flag first. Guan Sheng's voice remained flat until this point.
Half an hour later, Guan Sheng carried the coffin to battle, and the Great Song military flag was raised at the head of the city.
Pudong, don't fall!
