Chapter 154 The General Thinks Twice

Xia Zhaoyi looked at the soldiers, the spears had been taken back by them.

Xia Zhaoyi let go, jumped down from the lamp post, and said, "I have brought the news, you can think for yourself whether they want to disturb your morale. I robbed you two horses today, I hope I will For the sake of delivering the letter, you can spare these two soldiers. In addition, my friend can’t ride a horse. He stepped on the big water to deliver the letter to you yesterday. Fortunately, he was not killed by that guard. I need to bring some medicine and gauze back, can you give me some."

Zhao Xi looked at her with a serious expression, fixedly looked at her, nodded for a while, and said, "Okay."

He looked at Yuan Tianqing: "Do as she says."

Yuan Tianqing took the order, looked at the girl over there, frowned and said, "Come with me."

Xia Zhaoyi nodded, put away the green whip in his hand, paused, looked at Zhao Yuan again, and couldn't help asking: "Then what are your plans now, are you going to stay or continue to leave?"

Zhao Xi was in a state of confusion, and looked towards He Chuanjiang.

He Chuanjiang was also in a complicated mood.

If what the girl said was true, many things would be far from what he had thought before.

The biggest reason why He Chuanjiang wanted to persuade Zhao Zhen to abandon the city was that he thought they had been abandoned by the court.

Knowing that there will be no rescue, but still waiting here bitterly, what is it if he is not a fool who is trapped in his own way.

According to the current statement, the imperial court did not abandon them, and Jiang Pingsheng was unable to get through because of the impassable road. At the same time, someone secretly blocked and cut off Jiang Pingsheng's messenger.

However, if you continue to wait, how long can you last with only two stones of grain?
"Some things I shouldn't have said in front of so many people," the girl said at this time, looking at He Chuanjiang and Zhao Xie, "but I still want to ask, how can you two be willing to abandon them?" The people in this city go?"

Zhao Xuan paused and looked at the girl.

He Chuanjiang frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Little girl, you don't understand many things."

"Maybe I don't understand, but I know that a soldier should live for loyalty, serve the country and the people, never shed blood, never stop fighting when he dies, Zhao Yuan, you are definitely not a person who can leave the people behind."

"What do you know!" Yuan Tianqing was waiting for her, and shouted angrily, "You know nothing about a little girl who is only as tall as my waist!"

"I want to persuade you to stay," Xia Zhaoyi ignored him, looked at Zhao Zhen, his expression became serious, and said quietly, "Once you leave, those rebels will definitely come. What should these people do?"

"Stop talking nonsense! The people in the city want us to leave as soon as possible, they have already thought about it!" Yuan Tianqing shouted.

"Are you afraid of their rebellion?" Xia Zhaoyi smiled and asked word by word, "Vice General Yuan, do you know what massacre is?"

The voice was like pearls falling to the ground, very clear and crisp, but reading every word in this big water would send a chill down one's spine.

"It's not that I'm alarmist. Since ancient times, regime changes have always excluded dissidents. You can leave and let the people in the city ignore you, but the rebels may not be so benevolent. The so-called rebels are after all aimed at seizing power. Kill them if they can. Those who use it for themselves would rather kill them than let them go to support others. It has always been the case. Now that the rebels are also short of food, it is even more impossible to keep so many people as a hidden danger that will erupt at any time. Once you leave, this place will definitely There will be massacres, and people will suffer. Zhao Yu, are you really willing to let Peifeng's blood flow into rivers and his bones pave the way? In order to avoid the plague, you even dug several large puddles to divert the canal, how can you be cruel now?"

Zhao Xi pursed her lips tightly, her expression pitiful.

When the word "slaughter" came out of the girl's mouth, his heart tightened violently.

It's not because of how shocking it is for the girl to say it, but because of this idea, he had it before...

As the girl said, the rebels would rather kill these people than keep them for others, and Zhao Xie also felt the same way in that sudden thought: killing these people is better than letting them serve the rebels. Used……

But in the end, he can't be ruthless, and he can't raise the big knife to the innocent and weak.

He is a soldier, a soldier, and it is cowardly to abandon the city. If he behaves like this again, he will not be able to hold his head up in his life. He will definitely be reviled by the people all over the world, and will definitely drag down the entire Duke Zheng's mansion.

"Stay here, Zhao Yu," the girl continued, her voice slow, "not only for the tens of thousands of people in the city, but also for the government of Zheng Guogong. What is the purpose of those who blocked Jiang Shilang's news this time? To help those rebels, Or is it for dealing with the Zhao family?"

He Chuanjiang and Tao Yinhe frowned, their brows solemn.

Yuan Tianqing was also speechless, and looked at the girl in confusion.

"The rebels are nothing to be afraid of. The terrain is forcing them, and God is holding them back. They won't succeed for the time being. You really don't need to abandon the city," the girl said, raising her hands in a salute, "General, please think again."

She was petite and behaved like an adult. Although she felt a little funny and cute, no one was disrespectful at the scene.

Xia Zhaoyi looked at Yuan Tianqing and said, "Let's go, Vice General Yuan."

Yuan Tianqing nodded, retracted his gaze and walked forward, feeling a little muttered in his heart, couldn't help but glance at her again.

The girl followed behind Yuan Tianqing, although her body was small, her back was tall and straight, her posture was dignified, unhurried, she was really not like an ordinary girl, she was trained as a secret guard by a powerful family or a wealthy family, it was extremely difficult for her at her age To achieve her temperament.

Zhao Xi was still standing there, watching the girl leave, his eyes gradually revealed tenacity and unyielding, and he clenched the saber in his hand.

Everyone withdrew their gazes and looked back at Zhao Yuan.

"General," Tao Yinhe said, "what should we do now?"

"What do you think?" Zhao Xi said in a deep voice, "Quickly order the three armies to return to the city and stick to the seal, we will not die!"

"Yes!" Tao Yinhe took the order.

Zhao Xi turned to look at the guard of the west city behind: "You take people back, keep an eye on them all the time, and report in time if there is any movement."

"...But, if the girl is lying, there is no reinforcements." Zhu Pei said very lightly from the side.

"Do we have any other options?" He Chuanjiang said. He looked at the big water on the street and the buildings and buildings. It was hard to recall the bustling scene when he visited this place a few years ago. "What she said is not absurd." , if we abandon the city, these people will indeed have only one death left."

"But, if it's fake, then what's waiting for us..."

"Vice General Zhu, we are soldiers." He Chuanjiang interrupted him, and his eyes fell on him.

Zhu Pei frowned, with mixed feelings.

He Chuanjiang turned around to follow Zhao Zhen, and said, "Let's go."

After a few steps, he paused and looked to the other side.

After a pause, He Chuanjiang said: "I'll go to the prison."
