After writing the letter, Zhang Xiaoyu carefully dried the ink, stuffed it into the envelope, and wrote on the envelope,
"Captain of the Third Squadron of the Third Battalion of the A-shaped Battalion of the Fifth Corps of the Yuejia Army, Zhang Xiaoyu."
After writing, Zhang Xiaoyu handed the letter to the boy.
After receiving the letter, the boy raised his eyes, looked at him anxiously, and whispered,
"Sir, even though there are no people in Loulan now, there are still 50,000 elites in the capital, and there are at least several thousand people guarding the palace.
If you want to break the palace, it will be as difficult as climbing to heaven.
A group of servants and slaves, even with knives, cannot defeat the regular army.
Master, please think twice..."
Zhang Xiaoyu smiled and said,
"I was born in the Yue Family Army, and I was lucky enough to meet Marshal Yue several times, and I also went on several expeditions with Marshal Yue.
Marshal Yue often teaches us that in life, we should cultivate ourselves with the two words of loyalty and righteousness, and we should serve the country with all our loyalty, and we should have no regrets in our hearts.
The husband risked his life and death, but the general returned in a hundred battles.
What I am doing now is what I am clear about and what I am doing for the country and the people.
If sacrificing me can allow the king's division to enter the city smoothly, allow the Yuejia Army to suppress the northern army and save a few lives, and capture the butcher Talmu alive, then it will be worth it. "
Seeing that the boy wanted to talk, Zhang Xiaoyu smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said,
"Don't worry, I still have Sichuan Ziying, and the men and horses in that battalion can be as good as ten.
As for you, go hide tonight, and when the king's army breaks the city, you can go and see General Xie. "
"Young man... you obey."
Zhang Xiaoyu nodded and walked towards the bedroom.
All the way through the corridor, Zhang Xiaoyu pushed open the bedroom door.
Inside the door, a woman was sitting at the tea table drinking tea. Seeing Zhang Xiaoyu come in, she quickly stood up and asked earnestly,
"Husband, you are back. How are your discussions with the adults going? Do you have any ideas for protecting the city?"
Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the wife in front of him.
He and this woman were in a political marriage. Her father was a high official. He was optimistic about his political talent and was willing to marry his daughter to him. Then he rose through the ranks and reached the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
His father-in-law also successfully retired from office to retire.
It can be said that without the woman in front of him, his official career would not have been so smooth, and he would not have been able to go from being a Sichuanese that no one wanted to see to being in charge of hundreds of officials in just five years.
Moreover, the woman in front of him was kind-hearted and virtuous, and she cared for him in every possible way. She never cared about his identity as a Central Plains person, nor did she scold the Central Plains servants at home. She was an excellent person.
It can be said that Zhang Xiaoyu now has a high position, a happy family, and is a sure winner in life. As long as Loulan remains intact, his future is limitless and his glory is endless. .z.
But he doesn't like it here.
Compared with Loulan, which is barren, cold and in a mess, he loves Yumen Pass in the desert and the prosperous and beautiful Luodu City more.
"Don't worry, Talmu is well prepared and the enemy won't be able to get in."
Zhang Xiaoyu smiled.
Hearing this, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time she was worried,
"Hey, tell me, what's going on these days.
Life was going well at first, but the monarch had to go to Dachuan to attack Dachuan. There were no workers left in the country, so he had to send out all the officials.
Now Talmu has come back with 50,000 people and stolen the throne. This guy previously disagreed with his father's political views and looked down on your Central Plains origin. Now that he is the king, he will not be able to enjoy the good things of our family in the future. "
"Yes, if the city is broken, the Sichuan army will kill us. If the city is not broken, Talmu will kill us."
Zhang Xiaoyu nodded.
"What should I do?"
The woman frowned, thinking hard, and was so anxious that she almost cried.
Zhang Xiaoyu pulled her to sit
He came down, looked at her seriously, and said,
"So I decided to attack the imperial city tomorrow, capture Talmu alive, and surrender to the Sichuan army."
"What? Are you going to treason?!"
The woman stood up with a cry and looked at Zhang Xiaoyu in disbelief.
Zhang Xiaoyu nodded lightly.
He actually doesn't love this woman, but she is kind to him and very good to him. He wants to save her.
So, he gave her a chance.
"Yes, this is our only way to survive. The only way is to capture Talmu alive and surrender to the Sichuan army. Besides, I am from Sichuan, so they will accept me."
"But you betrayed Sichuan after all. Will they let you go, the traitor?
Besides, you first rebelled against Sichuan, and now you betrayed Loulan. Others will call you a slave with the third surname. Don’t you care about your reputation? "
"The matter has come to this, and I don't want to hide it from you anymore. In fact, I have never betrayed the Sichuan Kingdom at all. I stayed in Loulan just to help protect the Sichuan people here, and to collect information about the Loulan Kingdom and pass it on to Dachuan.
Didn’t the monarch always suspect that there were spies from Dachuan in the country?
I am. "
Hearing this, the woman looked at Zhang Xiaoyu in disbelief, and big tears fell down.
"It turns out that you don't sincerely want to take refuge in Loulan. So, what about you towards me? Are you also not sincere? Do you just want to use me and use my father's power to climb up?"
Zhang Xiaoyu lowered his head and said nothing.
But his attitude said everything.
The woman understood, she cried, Qi Qi said,
"I understand, you don't care about me at all. Those vows you made to each other are all fake. You just want to use me.
Why are you so cruel..."
Zhang Xiaoyu stood up and said,
"As a Sichuanese, I should serve my country with all my loyalty. It is not my wish to surrender to the enemy and treason."
"You are worthy of your country, but are you worthy of me? Are you worthy of Loulan?
My father has spent so much effort training you, promoting you, and letting you sit in a high position step by step. What do you do to repay him?
Tell me, what will happen to my father after the Sichuan army breaks the city? What will happen to the people in the city? "
"will die."
Zhang Xiaoyu raised his head, looked at her, and said,
"I will reveal my identity to the Sichuan Army. When the time comes, I will not die. I can also take you back to Yumen Pass."
"Haha, why are you taking me away? Is it to repay your kindness? Is it to repay my kindness to you?
Zhang Xiaoyu, Mr. Zhang, you are really good at planning. You destroyed my country and destroyed my family. You took me back and made me live with regret and guilt all my life.
But as for you, you are worthy of me. You don’t have to live in guilt all the time. You can be free and easy and worthy of your own conscience.
You can proudly say that you have lived up to the country and me, right?
You are so selfish! ! ! "
"Zhang Xiaoyu, you are really calculating. You only love your country. You don't love me at all.
Everything you do is just for yourself, right? "
