The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 647

The two had also heard Jia Ke's instructions to Xiao Yue just now, and understood that Jia Ke was worried about an ambush by the other party, so they handed over together.

"Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely follow orders and never act recklessly."

Only then did Jia Ke feel relieved to hand over the arrow to them.

Then the army was launched, and tens of thousands of people marched to the south in a mighty way.

Sure enough, Jia Ke was caught on the road. After the battle with Jia Ke, Ruan Zhengyu also understood the difference in strength between himself and Jia Ke.

This time he also let go of the pride in his heart. After gathering 30 troops, he saw that these people were all newly recruited new troops. Not worth mentioning.

So Ruan Zhengyu called several civil and military personnel to discuss how to deal with the Central Plains army.

But the civil and military people below are also at a loss. In the past, the 30 troops in the Central Plains alone were enough to give them a headache. Now he has hundreds of thousands of former Annan elite soldiers who surrendered. These people add up to more than 50.

Now that the enemy has an absolute advantage in both quality and quantity, how can one fight this battle?
And among these people, some even have other thoughts in their minds. They are all nobles, and this country belongs to the Ruan family. Even if they surrender, they will only lose some fame and money.

Because of this idea, many people began to persuade Ruan Zhengyu to send envoys to Jia Ke's barracks to present a surrender form to Jia Ke.

Although Ruan Zhengyu was sitting on the throne at this time, he had never felt so lonely.

He was angry in his heart at the suggestion of the ministers below to make him surrender, but he didn't show it on his face.

He knew that this was the common aspiration of the ministers below. Although he could suppress it for a while, if he pushed these ministers into a hurry, he might not be able to be the king.

It was only now that Ruan Zhengyu felt the loss of his left hand and right arm. After Li Guangqing was gone, there would be no one available in the court.

Ruan Zhengyu thought for a while, and remembered Ruan Tiande, the general of martial arts. This man was resourceful. Some time ago, before he went out to fight, he uttered ominous words and was sent to prison.

Although Ruan Tiande has many problems, as a descendant of the royal family, he is still loyal to the court.

Ruan Zhengyu thought about it and went to talk to this person. If he really has a way to turn the tide, he doesn't mind giving him the right.

After the court meeting was over, Ruan Zhengyu personally brought his own soldiers to the prison.

When Ruan Zhengyu came to the place where Ruan Tiande was being held, he saw the old general sitting in the cell, holding a wooden stick to write and draw on the ground, and he didn't realize that Ruan Zhengyu had arrived outside.

Seeing Ruan Tiande like this, the cell boss next to him was a little annoyed, and wanted to go over and remind him.

But before the cell boss could move, he was stopped by Ruan Zhengyu. He had someone quietly unlock the key on the cell, then pushed the door in and came behind Ruan Zhengyu. He wanted to see what this old general was doing.

As a result, he looked behind him, and it turned out that Ruan Tiande had drawn a map of the border between the Celestial Dynasty and An Nan Kingdom, and was comparing the pictures there, which was simulating the battle between the two sides.

Ruan Zhengyu watched Ruan Tiande keep placing all kinds of stones and grass roots. Those stones were getting less and less, and they kept retreating to the south, while those grass roots were increasing, and they kept putting pressure on the south. Arrived at Thang Long Mansion.

Seeing this situation, Ruan Zhengyu couldn't help but be addicted to it, and now he couldn't help shouting: "The matter has come to this, what can we do?"

This shout woke up Ruan Tiande, he turned his head and saw King Annan, Ruan Zhengyu was standing behind him, his face full of anxiety.

When Ruan Tiande saw the king coming, he immediately turned over and knelt down on the ground, "Sinner Ruan Tiande, please greet the king for thousands of years."

Ruan Zhengyu also came to his senses, he hurriedly supported Ruan Tiande, then patted him on the shoulder and said with emotion: "I didn't listen to the old general at the beginning, now it's too late to regret."

Ruan Tiande was also very moved when he heard this, but he has already figured things out after being in prison for this period of time.

Even if An Nanguo surrendered to Jia Ke, I am afraid that Jia Ke would not stop there.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to say that. After thinking about it in prison for a while, your Majesty's judgment is still correct. People from the Central Plains are eyeing me Annan. This time, Jia Ke led the soldiers south, not just to subdue us. I'm afraid they want to seize our country."

When Ruan Zhengyu heard this, he just felt that he had met a bosom friend. Now the civil and military ministers in the court were blaming him for repeatedly violating the borders of the Celestial Dynasty, which made the Celestial Dynasty furious and led the army to attack.

But these people didn't think about it. If they hadn't led the army several times and invaded the Celestial Dynasty and obtained a lot of food and supplies, how could Annan have the financial resources to dominate the southeast.

You must know that among the small southern countries, Annan Kingdom is not the most expansive land. It is because of the money and population he obtained from several invasions of the Celestial Dynasty that he was able to declare war on other small countries and became a tyrant in the south.

Ruan Zhengyu helped Ruan Tiande to sit in the cell, then cupped his hands and said to Ruan Tiande: "Old General, almost all of my hundreds of thousands of Jin soldiers in Annan have been captured by the Central Plains people, and now I have become Jia Ke's accomplices. Another 30 troops were assembled, but these people are recruits who have just joined the army, and I am afraid that they are not enough to stand against the people of the Central Plains. I wonder what good strategies the old general has."

After hearing this, Ruan Tiande's face became gloomy. He had no news in the cell, and he didn't expect the situation to be so bad.

In Ruan Tiande's heart, even Ruan Zhengyu led the arrogant soldiers who lost to the Central Plains, and could keep most of the army from retreating to Shenglong Mansion.

But what he didn't expect was that the tens of 10 troops were not only wiped out, but also surrendered to the Central Plains.

Under the ebb and flow, Annan's situation is now even more dangerous.

Ruan Tiande stood up, looked at the sky outside the cell and thought for a long time, then gritted his teeth, turned around again, and walked to Ruan Zhengyu's side.

"Your Majesty, the situation is extremely dangerous now. With him and us recruits, we can't resist Jia Ke no matter what. We can't win without a trick."

When Ruan Zhengyu heard what Ruan Tiande said, he knew that he had a solution, so he cupped his hands and said, "If you have anything to say, general, just give me advice, I will respect everything."

Ruan Tiande didn't have any scruples when he came here, "Your Majesty, seeing that the enemy is strong and we are weak, you should not fight the enemy decisively. You should hold on to the enemy for a long time, and retreat naturally when the enemy's food is exhausted."

Ruan Zhengyu also had this idea in his heart, but he was not sure that he could hold a stalemate with the army of the Central Plains for a long time, so he said sadly: "The army of the Central Plains is not only brave and good at fighting, but also well armored and has a lot of siege weapons. How long does it last, and the Rising Dragon Mansion will be breached by the enemy."

Ruan Tiande didn't make any rebuttal when he heard this, but said: "Shanglong Mansion is a dead place, and the four sides of Shenglong Mansion are plains. It can be said that it is easy to attack and difficult to defend. In my opinion, take Shenglong Mansion as a Throw a bait to Jia Ke."

When Ruan Zhengyu heard this, he felt a burst of anger gushing out of his chest. What kind of idea did Ruan Tiande come up with? It was to throw away all the foundation of his ancestors.

You must know that all dynasties of Annan Kingdom have regarded Shenglong Mansion as their foundation, because the terrain here is flat, the water conservancy is abundant, and the population is dense.

Therefore, Shenglong Mansion is not only a battleground for Annan's military strategists, but also of great significance. If Shenglong Mansion is lost, how can the princes and princes in Annan Kingdom obey him and obey his orders?

Ruan Tiande also saw the anger on Ruan Zhengyu's face, but he ignored it completely and continued: "After abandoning the Thang Long Mansion, we will continue to evacuate to the south. As the battle line stretches, Jia Ke's route for transporting grain and grass will become longer and longer. At that time, we sent elite troops to harass them non-stop, so that the troops in the Central Plains would not be able to provide food and grass, and they would have to retreat after a long time. The Dragon Mansion can also be recaptured."

After Ruan Zhengyu finished listening, his face was cloudy and cloudy. It was difficult for him personally to throw away the capital city of Shenglong Mansion. After all, under their several generations of construction, this Shenglong Mansion was no worse than those provincial governments in the Central Plains. what.

If once this place is abandoned and they go to the south, the nobles in the south will probably not be so honest when they see that they are weak.

"Old general, the situation is complicated now. I have Shenglong Mansion, and the nobles in the south can be honest. But if I lose this foundation, those people in the south will definitely make trouble. I'm afraid I will be out of control by then."

Hearing this, Ruan Tiande's eyes showed sadness, "My lord, now is not the time to worry about this. I, Annan, have reached the time when the country will be exterminated. Even if my Ruan family is wiped out from now on, it will naturally be left to the descendants of Annan. Lower your hopes."

When Ruan Zhengyu heard this, he understood Ruan Tiande's meaning, which was to sacrifice the Ruan clan to ensure the stability of Annan's entire country.

However, Ruan Zhengyu didn't have such a noble sentiment. In his heart, as long as the prosperity and wealth of his Ruan family were preserved, Annan's country was nothing.

If necessary, it would be a good idea to sacrifice the entire Annan family to preserve the Ruan family for a long time.

Ruan Zhengyu is very disappointed with this general now. Originally, Ruan Zhengyu wanted to let this old general go out to help the Ruan family to tide over the difficulties, but he did not expect that he wanted to sacrifice the Ruan family. How could this be possible.

So Ruan Zhengyu stood up again expressionlessly, and said to Ruan Tiande: "The old general can continue to rest in this prison. This king still has business to deal with when he goes back."

After Ruan Zhengyu finished speaking, he turned around and left the cell.

Ruan Tiande looked at Ruan Zhengyu and walked away without looking back, knowing that the situation was over, so he shouted sadly: "Annan is dead, ancestors, have you seen it?"

Ruan Zhengyu had just arrived at the old gate, and when he heard these words, he immediately burst into anger.
