Quick Wear: The Daily Showmanship of the Face-Slapping Maniac

Chapter 168 Chapter 168 The General's Dead Wife 37
Wu Guoshun City.

Before the Lord of Shun City knew that the border had been breached, and before he had time to react, the Song army had already approached the city and began to call for battle.

You must know that the Song and Wu countries have been in an uneasy state of testing each other since the Song Emperor and Wu Emperor ascended the throne in the previous dynasties. Today you provoke troubles, and tomorrow I will carry out sneak attacks. Wars are common There are things.

It has been like this for more than ten years, and the war between the two countries is like a joke. Apart from making the people of the two countries unable to survive and making life more and more difficult for the people, it is really hard to tell who will win. burden.

Later, the emperor of the previous dynasty ascended the throne, and the two countries lived in peace for several years, and each of them recuperated.

It wasn't until a few years ago that the emperors of the two countries believed that the country was already strong and wanted to be the hegemon of the world, so war broke out again.

Speaking of which, even in the years when they played the most fiercely, Shuncheng only lost five or six times, but they quickly regained it.

However this time...

The Lord of Shun City saw that the morale of the Song army under the city was high and their faces were high-spirited, while our army was all downcast, and the decline had already appeared before the battle began, so he knew in his heart that the general situation was over.

But even if it was for the people in the city, for his loyal Majesty, the Lord of Shun City would never run away.

If Song Guo wants to fight, he will fight. It is also good to delay for a while so that the cities behind can be prepared.

City Lord's Mansion.

"Send someone out to delay the time with the Song Army, and when will the ninth battalion arrive?" the Lord of Shun City frowned.

The messenger who was kneeling on the ground covered his face and cried bitterly: "City Master, General Rong of the Ninth Battalion has suddenly gone ill. Now the lieutenants of the Ninth Battalion are fighting among themselves, and they are all busy fighting for power. Yes...I'm afraid I won't be able to come!"

"What, what? If they don't come, what will the people in the city do?" The eyes of the city lord of Shun City were slackened for a moment, and soon he cheered up again, and couldn't help cursing angrily: "You bastard, what a waste!" You bastard who doesn't understand the situation."

The officials below were also very ugly.

An official looked around and saw that there were no outsiders, so he couldn't hold back and said: "My lord, if there are green hills left, we are not afraid that there will be no firewood. Why don't we abandon the city and flee."

However, the city lord kicked him angrily and scolded in a cold voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? As the lord of a city, how can I abandon the people in such a difficult time?"

The official was kicked hard and fell to the ground, his face turned pale in an instant: "It's the official who thought about it for a while, please don't blame me, my lord."

The city lord's face was still gloomy, and he reprimanded the official a few more words.

When the other officials heard this, they dared not persuade him again.

After staying for a while, the city lord sighed himself, and ordered: "Forget it, you all go back, go back and take the people in your respective counties, pack up your things and run for your life."

As the lord of the city, he can't leave selfishly, but he can let his subordinates and his people go to hide in other cities, maybe one escapes.

The officials below all nodded yes, and looked at the city lord with a very mournful expression.

Because they knew that the city lord wanted them to leave, but they themselves were determined to die, planning to live and die with the entire city of Shun.

At this time, outside Shun City, the master of Shun City standing on the city wall was cursing Song Jun's shamelessness with a three-inch tongue.

However, Song Jun wasn't angry at all, instead he watched the master's performance with a smile on his face.

In fact, everyone knows that Master Shuncheng is delaying time, but Mingyue and others are more aware that there will be no rescuers in Shuncheng, because the spies of the Song Dynasty have already provoked a civil war in the ninth battalion closest to Shuncheng, so she can Let the people of the state of Wu see the benevolence and righteousness of the Song army.

Yes, it is clear that they can directly attack the city and seize the territory, but the Song army just made people scream and endured the master's scolding.

Song Jun also asked people to explain seriously at the gate of the city, saying that Song Jun would not harm innocent people, and even the more than captives who surrendered last night were still unscathed, and Song Guo's campaign was only to stop the war.

In the ears of the people in the city, the heart that was already biased towards Song State became more and more ready to move.

Therefore, when the officials of the state of Wu asked the people to retreat and flee for their lives, the spies of the state of song who got in among them proposed that they did not want to leave their hometown, and when they proposed that they should surrender if they could not fight, they unexpectedly won the approval of most of the people.

Even those officials were moved in their hearts. These days, they have heard rumors about Song State. It is said that being an official in Song State is better than Wu State!

So it's not just those people who are moved?

When the city lord of Shun City heard what Song Jun said, he immediately said: "No, Song Jun is attacking the heart."

Sure enough, the officials below proposed to surrender, and even the common people knelt outside the gate of the city lord's mansion, begging him, the city lord, to surrender.

He closed his eyes with a pale face, and knelt down and kowtowed to the southwest after a while: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry for you!"

After finishing speaking, he got up, opened the door and walked out of the mansion, as if exhausting all his strength, he said: "Hang the lowering flag and open the city gate."

Amidst the cheers of the people, the city lord returned to the mansion again. He put on his official uniform and hat, and ended his life with a dagger.

He is the city lord of the state of Wu, so he must put the people first, but since this city already belongs to the state of Song, he should follow suit.

After Mingyue and others entered the city, they learned the news that the city lord was dead from the spies.

Mingyue was a little surprised, but more regrettable.

She had found out about the Lord of Shun City through spies before, he was really a man who loved the people and cared about things, but he was loyal and daring and did not follow the right person.

Mingyue ordered: "Don't alarm the people in the city, ask his family and those officials to go see him for the last time, and let them handle the funeral themselves."

Except for those relatives of the poor city lord, these people must also know that the city lord chose to die for his country, not them, the murderous hands of the Song army.

Moreover, Mingyue and others did not intend to interfere in Shun City, the original officials were still employed, and did not disturb the people at all, leaving only a person named 'Supervisor' to act as City Lord temporarily.

After the army rested for a while, the Song army set off for the next city.

At this time, the Song army broke through the border, and the news that Shun City surrendered and the death of the city lord of Shun City finally spread.

Regardless of how angry and flustered the Emperor of Wu and his ministers were, and how uneasy the people in the cities next to Shun City were, Mingyue was very happy at the moment.

Because she finally got Tan Xingye's reply.

Seeing the simple word 'ke' written on the huge white paper, Mingyue couldn't help laughing.

Probably Tan Xingye didn't know how to deal with her daughter's body. In the past, every time she wrote a letter, she would spend a lot of paper, but this time there was only one word, which was a double standard.

But Mingyue is already very satisfied.

After all, she knew this word, and it was in response to her question whether a woman can be an official.

She has opened up an unprecedented path for the women of this era, and she only hopes that there will be more people like her in the world in the future.

But, that's great.
