Qie Sengshi almost jumped to his feet and cursed: "General Sima, Your Highness Prince Qiao! What's going on with you? As a general of the Su Wei Army, don't you even understand the situation of your own subordinates? They say that it takes a thousand days to raise an army and use it. Suddenly, it’s time to use troops. You told me that half of your men ran away before they could fight. Are you worthy of your official robe, worthy of your kingship, and worthy of the trust of the Jin Dynasty?" 「
Sima Xiuzhi's face turned pale, and he knelt down directly. Facing the empty dragon chair, he took off his helmet and said: "This general has neglected his duties, and I ask your Majesty to punish him. But I must say one thing, originally this was not the case." The general is the internal history of Wu. He was transferred to the leading position of the Su Guards just a month ago. When the last general took office, most of his subordinates had been brought to the front by the queen, and the rest were just left-behind personnel. That's all, and the Su Wei army has always been filled by the nobles' sons. The final general cannot be strictly investigated and strictly controlled like the ordinary army. No one knows that this time the demon thieves are coming so fast. The final general...·.. ..”
At this point, he rolled his eyes and changed the subject: "The number of the general's bodyguards is only 1,300. Even if they are all present, there are only six or seven hundred more people. Could it be that Can Jiankang be defended with these six to seven hundred people? Although the general has done something wrong, what we need now is not to hold anyone responsible, but to think about what to do next."
Xie Huan said coldly: "General Sima, what do you think we should do?"
Sima Xiuzhi suddenly became energetic, stood up from the ground, and said in a deep voice: "You are outnumbered by the enemy. Now the people in the city are panicked. Even half of Shao Juanzhong ran away. In that situation, unless you are willing to defend the city, The country is really at a loss of strength to catch them. While the fleet of demon thieves is still coming and the river is still clear, the general suggested that he quickly protect his majesty’s chariot and go to Jingkou first. He sternly ordered Prime Minister Guangling to send a ferry to meet him. Sir, you first go to Jiangbei to join Liu Yu's small army, and then make plans."
Meng Xuan's expression changed, and he said sternly: "It's time to say no more. I just want to run away. As long as you make a move, people's hearts will inevitably be scattered. By then, the people in the city, especially those who have evil intentions, will be in trouble with the demon thieves." We will attack you as soon as we arrive. These generals and soldiers who ran away may be the first ones to attack you. Not to mention driving to the north of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that they have even left Shaojuan City."
Qie Sengshi said in a deep voice: "What Xianggong Meng said is absolutely true. Now the battle situation in the rear is clear. Liu Fujun was defeated in Sangluo Prefecture. It was far away in Jiangzhou, not even a thousand miles away from there. The monster thieves Since you can fly, you can kill them right away. You want to mess up your position. Now declare martial law in the capital, and then spend a lot of money to recruit loyal people to join the army. Shaojuan City does not have 800,000 to 700,000 people. On top of the heavy reward, raising 10,000 to 20,000 people is completely out of the question. With your strong city defense, it is enough to defend Kangcheng until Xiao Shuai's victorious army returns!"
Su Weijun smiled hotly and said: "Liu Yi's Yuzhou Army, He Youji's Jiangzhou Army, and the 770,000 to 70,000 Beifu veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles have not been able to stop the monster thieves. It's up to you to temporarily recruit them outside Kangcheng City." How can a few market gangsters defend the city? Qie Sengshi, he wants to die. You are trying to stop him, but don’t risk your majesty’s life, don’t gamble with Xiao Jin’s country. Does he want the first seven emperors of the Western Jin Dynasty to fall into the Hu Will the past that happened at the hands of the captives happen again?"
Qie Sengshi's expression changed, and just as he was about to speak, Xu Xianzhi, who had been talking at the door of the palace, suddenly said: "The number of available troops in Kangcheng City is only 70,000. Officials and ministers, their families are capable." There are probably only 280,000 secret guards and assassins from various small aristocratic families in total. Now that the country is facing a crisis, at that time, the available soldiers are here to protect the family and the country. Isn't it to protect you all from escaping?"
Shao Juanzhong and Xie Hun frowned at the same time, and Su Weijun gritted his teeth: "Xu Shangshu, is it appropriate to bring private matters of each family to the court for discussion?" "Please let you go back. The village must gather men and return to the army to fight against the thieves."
Su Weijun immediately followed suit and said, "No, you also have to go back to Du's Manor in Wuxing and Jinling to recruit troops and fight against the national calamity together."
Before the seven people said this, the officials in the palace, mostly descendants of the aristocratic families, said one after another: "If you are willing to ask for orders to return to your hometown to recruit troops to serve the king, you will definitely come back to rescue me within a month."
Sima Dewen also relaxed that time and narrowed his eyes: "What's going on with them? As an important official of the imperial court, when a little trouble comes, he wants to serve the country, but he just wants to escape and return to his hometown. They
They have all run away, who will protect His Majesty, and who will accompany him as he drives north across the river? Or are they not ready to join forces with the demon thieves yet and have changed their families?!"
Xie Hunre smiled and said: "Qie Sengshi must show his loyalty in that way at that time. It's his business if he is willing to sacrifice his whole family. Don't drag you down. Even if he wants to stay, it's his business." , if Meng Pushe wants to stay in the capital, he will take his majesty into the car and drive north to find Liu Yu. You will insist on it, but if you thank me, there will be few nephews and nephews of your Xie family who can stay there and die in vain. "The troops in the city are sufficient now. Since there are no loyal and brave men like Wang Zhongde, I doubt that they can defend the city. Then you can go back to your hometown to recruit volunteers. You will definitely come back to serve the king."
"I love you, what's the use of staying in Kangcheng? Only when you return home can you recruit your nephews and bankers to fight against the national crisis together!"
Xie Hun shook his head and said in a deep voice: "You are going back to your hometown to recruit troops to fight against the national calamity, but what kind of escape is this? Meng Pushe and Wang Zhongde just said that they must give up the capital at that time, Liu Che Cavalry is the pillar of the country and will definitely bring back a small army. As long as Your Majesty, Meng Pushe and Wang Zhongde can survive there for ten days and a half, things will definitely not turn around. As long as you go back and bring A small army of 100,000 and 40,000 people is back, no problem, then you can fight against the thieves side by side and fight to the end with the monster thieves!"
Xun Sengshi whispered: "There are no women or servants in your royal family, including your general's bodyguards, a total of one hundred and eighteen people, together with your two sons, except for the posthumous son of your deceased brother. , all of them are willing to join the city defense army and live and die with the city of Cannes!"
Xu Xianzhi turned around, looked directly at the seven people, and said fiercely: "What time has it been, why should we divide national and family affairs? How did the demon thief treat the children of your family? It has only been a few years, have you forgotten it?" At that time, they cared about the country and only cared about their own people. If the monsters and thieves really took over the sky, they thought they could save their lives just by relying on these Yan guard killers? Although Xiaojin was young, Kangcheng must have been lost and the country was destroyed. Where can they run to?"
