Zhang Kuang and the others were anxious, so why not Liu Mingzhi.
Looking at the approaching coalition forces from the two countries heading further south, Liu Mingzhi became anxious and rolled up on the city wall like an ant on a hot pot.
To intercept outside the city or not to intercept outside the city.
Needless to say, the consequences of going out of the city to intercept them. If you don't go out of the city, you can only watch the armies of the two countries attack the city all the way in the hinterland of northern Xinjiang and seize the city in their own fiefdom.
But if they leave the city, not only will Yingzhou's 200,000 soldiers and horses die, but Yingzhou will also become the first gate of Dalong to be captured.
Which one is more serious, Liu Mingzhi already has the result in his mind, but if he doesn't leave the city to intercept the troops of the two countries marching south, Liu Mingzhi's heart will twist when he thinks of the fate of the state capitals behind him.
If you don't die here, you will die there, if you don't die there, you will die here.
Eventually one has to be left behind.
Zhang Kuang looked at Liu Mingzhi, who was spinning around, with an anxious expression on his face.
"Liu Shuai, come up with an idea quickly. You can't just watch the enemy seize the city behind us and defend us instead!"
Liu Mingzhi stopped and looked at Zhang Kuang hesitantly: "This handsome... This handsome..."
Zhang Kuang looked at Liu Mingzhi's hesitant expression and sighed. Why didn't he understand Liu Mingzhi's difficulty?
He is also a general who has become famous after a long battle, so he can naturally see Huyan Yunyao's plan. It can be said that what is before them is a multiple-choice question.
To sacrifice life for righteousness, or to sacrifice righteousness for life.
There are two options, no matter which one you choose, it is not something that can be decided easily.
One must sacrifice between life and righteousness.
Zhang Kuang stroked the blood-stained sword at his waist and glanced at Yingzhou, an important border city that he had guarded for more than 20 years, with complicated eyes.
There are only twenty years in a person's life, and half of his life has been spent on this land.
Recalling the past when he was young and riding high on the battlefield with his adoptive father, General Jin Yi, there was a nostalgic smile in Zhang Kuang's eyes.
After coming back to his senses, Zhang Kuang held a sword and knelt on one knee in front of Liu Mingzhi.
"Shuai Liu, everyone is afraid of death, but dying in battle is tantamount to the highest honor for our soldiers!"
"You will die for your country and die well. Since our brothers have embarked on the path of protecting our country, we will have no regrets."
"Give me the order. You are the one-word King of the Twenty-seventh Mansion in Northern Xinjiang who oversees all military and political affairs."
"You will have to rely on the people of the 27th Prefecture in Northern Xinjiang from now on. We can't just watch them die under the enemy's weapons!"
"Yingzhou cannot be separated from your guard, otherwise the reinforcements will arrive without a leader, and it will be a serious disaster. Please give the prince an order to let the last 30,000 men of Longwu in Northern Xinjiang go out of the city to fight the enemy out of the city!"
"Even if all my 30,000 sons are killed in battle, I can delay the enemy army for one day, but I will not regret it even if I die!"
"Brothers will not complain to the prince. We fight for the country and the people without any regrets. Please give the prince an order!"
"Northern Xinjiang General Longwuwei is madly willing to take his 30,000 men out of the city to die! Please give the order, Your Majesty!"
"Northern Xinjiang Longwu General Keyan, Xiong Kaishan and thirty thousand men are willing to leave the city to die! Please give the order, my lord!"
Hulas were heard frequently, and the remaining 30,000 or so dragon warriors at the East City Gate and South City Gate all knelt on the ground, staring at the somewhat bewildered Liu Mingzhi with bright eyes.
"The thirty thousand men of Longwu in Northern Xinjiang are willing to leave the city to die! Please give the order, my lord!"
"The thirty thousand men of Longwu in Northern Xinjiang are willing to leave the city to die! Please give the order, my lord!"
"The thirty thousand men of Longwu in Northern Xinjiang are willing to leave the city to die! Please give the order, my lord!"
Liu Mingzhi's lips trembled as he looked at Zhang Kuang's indifferent face. The generals around him showed no signs of fear that they were about to die in battle.
"This king...this king..."
"Please, Your Majesty, order us to leave the city and die!"
"Please, Your Majesty, order us to leave the city and die!"
Sacrificing one's life to go to the country's disaster, seeing death as a sudden return home!
The appearance of more than 30,000 dragon warriors made Liu Mingzhi suddenly think of this sentence in his heart.
'Brother, if we don't fight, the descendants of future generations will still have to fight. Someone has to come out and carry the sinners. '
Liu Mingzhi's mind flashed back to the conversation he had with his junior brother Hu Yanjunyao just outside the city gate. When he came back to his senses, he looked at the more than 30,000 soldiers who were willing to generously serve as Yilong's military guards. Liu Mingzhi's eyes were determined and he raised his hand.
"No!"
"No one is allowed to die!"
"The Lord Protector of the Country obeys orders arrogantly!"
Zhang Kuang looked at Liu Mingzhi blankly, and nodded with his fists in his hands as usual.
"The last general will obey orders arrogantly!"
"The Golden Eagle sent a message to Wan Mingliang, Duke of Wu Kingdom of Jeju, ordering him to lead Ning Chao, the king's subordinate, to guard Jeju's tiger and leopard guards, Ma Lingben, and Feng Bu'er. The two troops no longer waited for reinforcements from Yunzhou, and quickly and secretly detoured to aid our Yingzhou City. "
"Got the order!"
"Ke Yan, Xiong Kaishan obeys the order!"
"The general is here!"
"Eagle Falcon sends a message to all the governors of the prefectures south of Yingzhou and north of Fengyundu, as well as the garrison Sima and other officials of the prefectures to obey my king's orders!"
"Whenever the Jin Kingdom and the Turkic army attack the state capital, they can delay it as long as they can. If they can't delay, open the city and surrender, and let the enemy troops enter the city! Don't fight to the death."
"There has to be one person to bear the blame. In this case, as long as the lives of the people can be saved, I, Liu Mingzhi, will bear all the blame!"
"this......"
"Just give the order!"
"Got the order!"
"Song Qing listens to the order!"
"The general is here!"
"The Golden Eagle sent a letter to the capital, an urgent document from Northern Xinjiang, ordering the Ministry of War to quickly dispatch 300,000 new soldiers from south to north to support Northern Xinjiang! This order of 100,000 is urgent and there is no room for failure."
"Got the order!"
"He ordered the soldiers of the Anxi Protectorate and the allied forces of the Western Regions to march from the mainland of Yunzhou to the east and to the west of Jeju from the land border with the Yunzhou Tiger Guards and the Flying Eagle Guards. Then they divided into two groups and attacked the Turks all the way. Go straight to the Kingdom of Jin."
"Got the order!"
After Liu Mingzhi gave the order, he held the hilt of the Heavenly Sword tightly and stared at the south where he could still see the armies of the two countries with flying flags.
"You are trying to occupy the magpie's nest, so don't blame me for taking money from the bottom of the cauldron!"
Liu Mingzhi looked down at Zhang Kuang, who was still hesitant to weigh, and bent down to help Zhang Kuang up.
"Uncle, give the order. Regardless of victory or defeat in this battle, I, Liu Mingzhi, will bear all the blame."
Zhang Kuang looked at Liu Mingzhi's firm expression with worry and nodded helplessly.
"The general will get the order!"
For two days in a row, the Yingzhou garrison showed no sign of leaving the city. The 200,000 cavalrymen who had been surrounded for two days finally had no choice but to go south and join forces with the main force. They waited another day for the Dalong reinforcements to arrive, and the ones who were surrounded were instead It will be myself.
Two days later, after receiving the order of King Liu Mingzhi from the governor of the 12 cities in the rear, the county magistrate delayed the opening of the city to surrender within a limited time, and sadly watched the soldiers and horses of the two countries enter the city.
Liu Mingzhi, who was waiting for reinforcements at Zhang Kuang's residence and thinking about his next battle plan, suddenly received a letter from his residence.
Looking at Qi Yun's beautiful figure hurriedly walking into the palace, Liu Mingzhi and a group of generals showed an apologetic smile and pulled Qi Yun towards the other courtyard.
"Yun'er, this is a military base, why are you here?"
Qi Yun's pretty face anxiously leaned into her husband's ear and whispered in her husband's ear. After a moment, Liu Mingzhi's face widened and he looked at Qi Yun in fear.
"really?"
"I don't know if it's true or not. The word "relevant" is written on the letter. I can only believe in it and come to find you, my husband!"
Liu Mingzhi frowned and pondered for a while: "Yun'er, please go back first. Don't tell anyone about these two words."
"Well, I understand! I'm resigning!"
"Yun'er!"
Qi Yunlian, who had reached the corner of the corridor, stopped and looked back in surprise at her smiling husband.
"Husband, what's wrong? Do you have any other instructions?"
"It's okay. My husband will always love you and the children. If there is another life, we will still be husband and wife for the rest of our lives."
Before Qi Yun was too shy and angry at her husband for saying such shameful words in public, Young Master Liu had already turned around and walked towards the hall in a hurry.
Under the stunned gazes of all the generals, Liu Mingzhi took up his pen and started writing on the rice paper.
After a while, Liu Mingzhi put the letter into an envelope and handed it to Zhang Kuang with a solemn expression. Also placed on top of the letter were his Side by Side King Seal and Tiger Talisman Handsome Seal!
"Liu...Liu Shuai, you...you are..."
Looking at the several noble items in front of him, Zhang Kuang was startled and did not dare to take them.
"Uncle, if the child comes back, please return these things to me!"
"If I...can't come back, you will take charge of my King's Seal Tiger Talisman and act according to the message in my letter."
"This, this, this...where are you going?"
Liu Mingzhi smiled softly, stuffed the Tiger Talisman Seal into Zhang Kuang's arms and ran towards the door of the house.
"No one is allowed to follow, and guard the city. This is an order! Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!"
The people who wanted to catch up paused and looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
With a stick of incense, the south gate of Yingzhou City opened wide, and one man, one horse, one sword and one bow left behind, leaving behind tens of thousands of bewildered defenders.
Half a day later, outside Guzhou City in Northern Xinjiang, an arrow carrying a letter shot towards the city wall.
"I, Liu Mingzhi, would like to ask the Great Khan Taichang, Marshal Wanyan, and Marshal Yale to describe the city wall!"
The soldiers and horses on the city wall stared blankly at Liu Mingzhi. After recovering, they picked up the letter and ran towards the city.
After a few sticks of incense, twenty or thirty generals appeared on the city wall. They were Huyan Yunyao, Wanyan Chizha and others.
Looking at Liu Mingzhi standing alone under the city wall with no one behind him, everyone looked at each other blankly, wondering what was going on.
The most noble person in Northern Xinjiang appeared here single-handedly. He never dared to dream of such a good thing.
It's like giving credit to your doorstep.
Liu Mingzhi got off his horse and walked slowly towards the city gate.
For some unknown reason, an arrow on the city wall left its bow and shot toward Liu Mingzhi's face.
Liu Mingzhi's eyes were focused, and he grabbed the arrow in his hand with a wave of his arm, and stopped less than three inches away from his face. Seeing this, Hu Yanjunyao's nervous pretty face suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and she looked towards him with a gloomy look. The surrounding soldiers swept over.
Looking down at the arrow in his hand, Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes and looked towards the city wall.
"Taichang Khan, Marshal Wanyan, is not very authentic."
"When the two countries are at war, I won't kill the envoy, but this arrow is going to kill me!"
Wanyan Chizha glanced behind him subconsciously, and just as he was about to scold him, a personal guard came up to Wanyan Chizha and whispered a few words in his ear.
Wanyan Chizha nodded with twitching corners of his mouth.
"Liu Shuai, whether you believe it or not, I tell you that this arrow was caused by the brothers' hands slipping. I and the Great Khan would not have committed such a villainous act!"
Liu Mingzhi gently threw the arrow to the ground and quietly looked at a group of old acquaintances on the city wall.
"It's not the best. I have something to say when I come here this time. I hope you will listen to it!"
"This war is a national war, and the harm will not affect the safety of the people!"
"If you mess up your duties first, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Under the blank gazes of Huyan Yunyao and others, Liu Mingzhi held the hilt of his sword in both hands and leaned on the ground, scanning the people on the wall with sharp eyes.
"I hope you will restrain the troops and horses under your command and do nothing to harm the people in my city!"
"otherwise!"
"If you kill one of the innocent people in our northern border, I will slaughter an entire city of the Jin Kingdom and destroy an entire Turk!"
"You kill two people from my northern Xinjiang. I slaughter twenty cities of the Jin Kingdom and destroy twenty Turkic tribes!"
"You killed hundreds or more of our northern Xinjiang people!"
"I would rather have Dalong Shanhe fall than to send my troops north, so that no chickens or dogs will be left in the Jin Kingdom and the Turks, and not even a blade of grass will grow!"
