Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

Chapter 662 Chapter

Xianbei attacks Xingxing!

The Dali soldiers stationed in Xingxing rose up to resist.

Although Dali was the defensive side and had the advantage of geographical location, Xianbei was overwhelmingly outnumbered and overwhelming.

Xinxing City is close to Changshan, and Xie Zhan is very concerned about the battle situation in Xinxing City.

On this day, Yang Yingqin, the general guarding Xinxing City, came over.

"Grand Governor, Xianbei is approaching fiercely. Our army must either increase its troops or abandon Xinxing, retreat to Taiyuan, and build another line of defense."

Yang Yingqin is not optimistic about the current war situation. He does not know how many troops Xianbei will gather this time. He only knows that they are still increasing their troops.

If they still want to persist, they must increase their troops, otherwise Xinxing City will definitely not be able to persist.

He preferred to retreat to Taiyuan. Taiyuan is full of mountains, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If they plan well, they may not be able to stop Xianbei.

Xie Zhan looked at the map with a solemn expression. If he gave up Xinxing and retreated to Taiyuan, Changshan would inevitably be exposed to Xianbei's sight.

If according to what Yang Yingqin said, they held Taiyuan tightly.

Xianbei's march south to Taiyuan was blocked, so Changshan would inevitably become one of Xianbei's offensive directions. Unlike Taiyuan, Changshan could withstand the attack of the Xianbei army based on its geographical advantages.

Changshan's defense becomes the top priority...

Now Dali not only has to fight in Hepingzhou, but also has to withstand the attack from the Xianbei army. It can be said that it is attacked from both sides. Xianbei and Pingzhou each only opened one battlefield.

In such a comparison, Dali suffers. He had to think of a way to get Xianbei and Hepingzhou to fight as well.

Xie Zhan was still deep in thought when he was interrupted by a voice, "Grand Governor, the imperial edict has arrived!"

Xie Zhan knelt down and accepted the imperial edict.

With the imperial court's defeat in Bohai and Hejian, the imperial edicts summoning him to return to Chang'an came one after another, and it is currently the third one.

"I will set off back to Chang'an tomorrow. Just give up on Xinxing and retreat to Taiyuan. You will have to worry more about the war in the future." Xie Zhan was ready to return to Chang'an.

Dong Guowei, Yang Yingqin and others are all veterans, and he will be of little use if he continues to stay here.

Yang Yingqin said quickly, "Grand Governor, there is no problem in fighting the war, but this food and grass is a big problem." This war is obviously going to expand.

Xie Zhanmo, food and grass, food and grass again!

"After I return to Chang'an, I will collect food and grass and send them here as soon as possible. Also, I will try my best to mobilize troops from other places to support you."

Yang Yingqin was relieved when he heard that he would solve the food and grass problem.

Pingzhou

The grassroots officials in Pingzhou have been very busy recently, not only because Pingzhou is at war with Dali, but they are also busy in needing help from the rear, and they are also busy gathering the fleeing people.

The people who fled Zhuozhou poured into Pingzhou almost in droves under the guidance of Pingzhou Nei Ying, intentionally or unintentionally.

The people of Zhuozhou have three choices, Xianbei, Dali and Pingzhou.

Xianbei and the others will not go to Xianbei. If they are not of my race, their hearts will be different. Moreover, Xianbei is cruel and will massacre the city at every turn. Going to a city under Xianbei's rule is simply asking for trouble.

They can only choose between Dali and Pingzhou.

These ordinary people were disappointed with the court because of the court's inaction when the price of donkeys fell.

Later, after Xie Zhan, the military commander, came, although a series of measures were implemented to help them regain some confidence, in the end, it was a fact that Dali could not protect Zhuozhou and they lost their home.

If they choose Dali, if Dali is defeated again in the future, won't they have to suffer the experience of leaving their homeland again?

Choosing Pingzhou was a natural choice.

First of all, Zhuozhou is close to Shanggu County and Yuyang County in Pingzhou. Living in these two places is almost the same as Zhuozhou.

Secondly, Pingzhou gives a settlement fee of five taels of silver.

The most important thing is that Pingzhou is strong and has always won and never lost.

Fighting means losing one's wealth and life easily. Especially the people on the losing side are really miserable.

They don't want to experience that kind of experience like losing a dog again.

When they stepped into the territory of Pingzhou, they found that the people of Pingzhou were well protected. Although they knew that Pingzhou and Dali were at war, it did not affect their daily lives. Going all the way east, this feeling becomes more obvious.

If someone comes, someone will naturally leave.

In Liaodong Academy, in Pan Sitong's room, Lu Desheng, Pan Sitong, Chen Dinghuai and Cui Chunhua were all present, and the atmosphere was a bit tense.

Cui Chunhua pointed at Lu Desheng's nose and cursed, "Lu Desheng, you guys in Pingzhou are raising an unjust army and attacking an innocent place!"

Lu Desheng put his hands on his hips and said, "Nonsense! Our Pingzhou attack on Zhuozhou and Leling this time is based on their reputation!"

Chen Dinghuai thought for a while and decided to go to the hut while the two were arguing.

"Can such a bullshit reason for ruining the situation be famous?"

"Why not? Do you know how much money our Pingzhou merchants lost because you Dali merchants broke the contract twice? Tell me, I will scare you to death. It's millions or tens of millions of taels."

"Are there that many?" Cui Chunhua wondered.

"There are so many! We in Pingzhou are not soft persimmons, how can we let others keep bullying us!"

"But I heard that this is obviously a trap set by you Pingzhou yourself!" Cui Chunhua was furious!

Lu Desheng looked at him like a fool, and he never tires of deceit. Your officials and businessmen in Dali are stupid and greedy. Who can blame you?

"You are obviously fishing!" Cui Chunhua emphasized again.

Lu Desheng said calmly, "I don't know what you are talking about." Do you think I'm stupid? Will you admit it?

Cui Chunhua was angry with him.

"Chang Pan, please speak!"

Pan Sitong was suddenly named:...

"What do you want me to say?" I made a mistake. I should have gone to the latrine with Chen Dinghuai just now.

"You should leave, you shouldn't help the tyrants do evil." Cui Chunhua said seriously.

"It is our responsibility to teach and educate people so that the inheritance will not be extinguished. As for who the talents choose to be loyal to after they grow up, that is their business." Pan Sitong said, this is also what he feels in his heart.

"I think you are determined to stay in Pingzhou. It is really insulting to gentlemen!"

Pan Sitong glanced at him and said, "We remember the principle of seeking common ground while reserving differences, just like you. If you stand firmly on Dali's side, isn't that also your freedom? Have I interfered?"

Cui Chunhua was stung by these words, and it happened that Chen Dinghuai came back at this time.

"Chief of the mountain, let's go. We won't wait for this miserable place in Pingzhou." Cui Chunhua went to pull Chen Dinghuai away.

Chen Dinghuai: ...I came back early.

Lu Desheng rolled his eyes, "If you want to go, whoever doesn't will be a dog!"

Such a stupid person should leave quickly and stay in Pingzhou to be a master. He is afraid of ruining his teachings to the students in Pingzhou.

You must know that the outstanding students trained by Liaodong Academy will be reused one after another. As the saying goes, those who are good at learning will lead to officialdom.

"Hmph, let's go now, we can't wait here any longer!"

"You can go back if you want, but Master Chen is not allowed to leave!" Lu Desheng said.

"Why?" Such different treatment made Cui Chunhua couldn't help but scream.

Of course it's because Chen Dinghuai is useful but you are not. Again, when Cui Chunhua stays in Pingzhou, he is still worried about teaching bad students.

"Because you are just a white-eyed wolf. You eat our Pingzhou's food, drink our Pingzhou's food, and now you are desperately trying to give us Pingzhou a shit basin."

Hearing this, Ji Chunhua was really angry, "Don't you Pingzhou claim to be free to come and go?"

"That was before."

Hearing this, Chen Dinghuai and Pan Sitong were both surprised, and they looked at each other.

Pan Sitong's eyes were filled with smiles.

The outstanding talents who are willing to defect to Pingzhou are all here, and they cherish these talents very much.

The decision to forcibly retain people was made by the father and daughter together.

When the interests of both parties are consistent, if they want to achieve their goals, they cannot let others bear the risks.

Only by first avoiding other people's risks, thinking about others, and solving their worries can others be willing to be driven by them.

At this time, Pingzhou is no longer the same as when the uprising began. After showing great strength, it may not be a good thing to hand over the choice to the talents they want to recruit.

They force people to stay in Pingzhou instead of letting them choose to stay.

Of course, they wanted to stay in their hearts. After they came to Pingzhou, they never wanted to leave, and it can be seen from their stay now.

The results are the same, but the outside judgment is different.

Literati attach great importance to reputation.

Lu Songli chose to keep the bad reputation to herself and the good reputation to talents.

They were all forced to stay. They did not take the initiative to rebel. Everything was Pingzhou's fault. They were all deceived.

In this way, it is also a kind of protection for the family members and relatives of these talents.
