System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

Almost all the soldiers had fled, leaving less than a thousand men around him.

These people were all Qiao Rui's subordinates, not Yuan Shu's soldiers, so they obeyed Qiao Rui's orders.

The Buqu are private subordinates, and most of them are from the same hometown or clan.

"General, what should we do now?"

Several military commanders looked at Qiao Rui and asked.

"What else can I do?"

"No more running."

Qiao Rui looked at the dust rising again in the distance and sighed.

The delay was too long, and Dong Yu had already led his troops to catch up.

After escaping for such a long time, Qiao Rui and the soldiers under his command were quite tired.

After all, if it were ordinary people, they wouldn’t even be able to eat a bite of food, let alone escape for two days, they wouldn’t even be able to survive for a day.

Tap~

"Run, run again!"

"Aren't you a good runner?"

"Where's Zhang Xun?"

"And those tens of thousands of troops?"

Dong Yu looked at the enemy general viciously and asked angrily.

"Ran."

"I can't run anymore."

"Waiting again, General, just for one thing."

Qiao Rui looked at Dong Yu and spoke.

"Oh?"

"What's the matter?"

Dong Yu asked with great interest.

The Feixiong Army had a hard time during the past two days of pursuit.

However, the dry food they brought with them prevented them from going hungry on the first day.

But today it was not the same. Dong Yu felt so hungry that his stomach was rumbling.

If they ran away again, he would really have to turn back.

"I beg the general to spare my men."

Qiao Rui looked at Dong Yu with a pleading look on his face.

These are all his fellow townsmen, including many good friends and relatives.

It was not a pity that Qiao Rui died in defeat, but he could not bear to watch his fellow villagers, relatives and friends die together.

"ridiculous!"

"It's a life-and-death battle on the battlefield!"

"Hasn't the number of soldiers under my command who died been small?"

Dong Yu sneered and shook his head.

The other party is so simple.

They even begged their opponents to let them go!

Seeing this, Qiao Rui felt sad.

Looking back at his relatives, friends, and fellow villagers, he made a decision in secret.

thump!

"I am willing to offer my head!"

"I just beg the general to spare them."

Qiao Rui bent his legs and knelt on the ground, holding the long sword in his hand and begged.

For a man of seven feet tall to kneel down before his enemy is tantamount to giving up the dignity of a general.

Kneel to heaven, kneel to earth, kneel to the king, kneel to parents.

Now the one kneeling is indeed his enemy, Qiao Rui feels helpless and sad.

"He's a man of integrity."

Zhao Yun on the side couldn't help but sigh.

"General, we are willing to die together!"

"General, get up quickly!!"

Qiao Rui's actions moved his subordinates.

"Why didn't you think of surrendering?"

Dong Yu's heart softened, and he asked with some curiosity.

He was very curious why the other party refused to surrender even if it meant death.

"Thank you for your kindness, General, but my wives and children are all in Runan."

"If we surrender, our wives, children and elders will be in danger."

Qiao Rui sighed.

As a general of Yuan's army, it was natural that he would lead the troops outside without any leverage in Yuan Shu's hands.

This is also the normal operation of many princes.

"I have a way to exchange your families back."

"But there's a condition."

Dong Yu thought for a moment, then spoke.

"I wonder what the General's conditions are?"

Qiao Rui was shocked and asked quickly.

"I need you to help me trick the city gates where the money and food are stored."

"At the same time, I also want the map of Yuzhou."

Dong Yu said without hesitation.

When Qiao Rui heard Dong Yu's conditions, he was stunned.

This condition undoubtedly meant that he would sell out Yuan Shu completely.

And there was no possibility of him refusing.

Either watch all these fellow villagers and friends being killed, or sell out Yuan Shu obediently.

Looking back at the soldiers under his command, Qiao Rui sighed helplessly.

"As long as the general can return my family, Qiao Rui will be his subordinate and will obey his orders."

After struggling, Qiao Rui finally chose the person who was more important to him.

These fellow villagers and friends left his hometown with him, which was a kind of trust and responsibility for him.

He couldn't give them up if possible.

If it were just him, he wouldn't mind dying to preserve his reputation for loyalty.

"He who knows the current affairs is a hero."

"You made the right decision."

"Let's go back to Yingchuan."

A smile appeared on Dong Yu's lips.

The map of Yuzhou and the batch of money and grain are very important to Dong Yu now.

With money and food, we can support the army.

With the map, we will be able to attack Yuzhou with even greater strength in the future.

Otherwise, he would have to send people to find out the rivers, mountains, roads and cities in Yuzhou.
