In Zhaoshui City, there were only three people left in the banquet hall of the general's residence: the old general Sun Miao, the navy general Sun Hao, and the scholar Du Shuisheng.
When Sun Miao said something, Sun Hao, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help being horrified and asked hurriedly, "Brother, what do you mean when you say that the prefect is suspicious of you?!"
Sun Miao sighed again, then raised his hand to gently stroke his beard, and said with slightly lowered eyes, "Since the predecessor lost three warehouses, all that is left in our Yongchang County is four cities. In these four cities, Beiyouxing The city is connected to the river trade routes, which can ensure smooth internal and external trade. There are Heyu City and Zhaoshui City in the south to block the southern barbarians, which can ensure the safety of the hinterland. With Yicheng in the center, it can ensure sufficient reserves. With the foundation laid by the Yongchang Meng family for hundreds of years, , this is also a pattern that can stabilize the position and then try to revive. Compared with the old one, the new governor seems to be slightly less courageous, but he is not inferior in intelligence. At the same time, this You are not headstrong yet and can listen to what others say. If you really give him time and wait for an opportunity, many things may not be impossible, but..."
"But after all, God did not give Yongchang and this prefect another chance. In this old and new stall, where the old and new come, and there is no business, after all the hard work, it was easy to stop that crazy boy from Lijun at Sancang. But I didn't expect that Heyu City would be broken so quietly." Sun Miao raised his head slightly and looked at the ceiling of the banquet room, which was just pure white without any decoration. "Actually, if Heyu City is broken, it is broken. How terrible. Baitong from Lijun had his whole city destroyed, so what? He only stayed for one day.
Once it is recovered, Baitong City will still be a Baitong City that can block thousands of monsters in a hundred thousand mountains and is as stable as Mount Tai. What's scary is that the human formation under Heyu City was also destroyed silently! At this time, no matter who is sitting on the throne of the governor of Yicheng, he will not dare to make a decision easily. The next decision is to use the power of the entire county to regain Heyu City..."
Sun Hao was silent and his face was solemn.
Scholar Du Shuisheng's expression remained as usual, as if he was not moved at all.
Sun Miao sighed with emotion, and sighed again and again. The aged tone in his voice was like the unevenness carved by the years on the bark of an ancient tree. "If we cannot recover Heyu City, the millions of refugees in Heyu City will become real refugees who have no home to return to." , with the current area of only three cities in Yongchang, how can we support the sudden increase of millions of people? Even if the prefect is willing to use the past reserves to support them, how long can they support them? He cannot recover Heyu City, and wants to Relying on Weiming City without a magic circle to resist the Nanyi is just nonsense. If it cannot be stopped, it means that Yicheng will inevitably become a new border city like Zhaoshui City. The Nanyi beast tide will come to the city at any time. Once the Nanyi move north in a large scale, it will Facing a situation of being trapped for at least a month, or even several months, and cutting off all contact with the outside world, how can Yongchang survive in today's cannibalistic Southwest Hanzhou under such circumstances?"
"However, in such a situation, what did our Lord Prefect do?" Sun Miao smiled bitterly and took a sip of wine from his wine glass. He slowly shook his head and said, "The Military Affairs Office issued an order, all cities and armies, maintain The current situation! We don’t talk about rushing to the aid of Weiming City, and we don’t talk about giving in.
Mingyuan, the king of Weiming City, withdrew the 20,000 soldiers. Maintain the status? What does this mean, do you and I still know? Isn't it just to let them die in front? "
Sun Miao said "Hey" and drank the rest of the wine in the glass. "Okay, let the defeated troops of Heyu City die. That's fine. After all, they were incompetent and lost Heyu City. They deserved to die, but they sent Young Master Meng Fan." What's the point of going to Mianjin City between Yicheng and Zhaoshui City with the 10,000 Shanshan Army?" He faced Sun Hao, stretched out two fingers and poked his chest hard, indignantly. To the extreme, "Aren't you just afraid that I, Sun Miao, will abandon Zhaoshui City and flee back to Yicheng with my whole family?! Aren't you just afraid that I won't stick to Zhaoshui City and will cut off my escape route?!! "
Sun Hao on the side saw that the old general was speaking more and more out of proportion under the influence of alcohol, so he raised his hand, trying to persuade him.
Unexpectedly, Sun Miao actually waved his hand and threw the jasper wine glass in his hand, which he knew was extremely precious, to the wall and smashed it into pieces. He pulled Sun Hao's sleeves and asked angrily, "Brother, what are you doing?" Say! Our Sun family has been in the army for generations, but has there ever been a coward?! Has there ever been a coward?!"
Sun Hao naturally spoke righteously
"I've definitely never seen it before!"
"Yes, yes!" Sun Miao's words were full of grief and indignation, "I, Sun Miao, have guarded the southern border for Yongchang County for decades, and guarded the border north for decades. Now that I have reached this level of age, I have also faced difficulties in the country. When you are resurrected, you can be regarded as being ordered in danger! How can a person who is not afraid of death still become a deserter? Can he throw the hundreds of years of reputation of my Sun family to the ground?! No way!
! ! Absolutely not! "
"That's right!" Sun Haofu smiled wryly and patted the back of Sun Miao's hand to persuade him, "But brother, Mianjin City is indeed located between Yicheng and Zhaoshui City, but it is also behind the Heyu City south of Yi in case of breaking through Weiming City. , the strategic location that bears the brunt of the attack, let the young master Meng Fan go to guard it. Probably the prefect wanted to show his determination to fight to the death with the Nanyi. It was not necessarily aimed at his brother. Since the prefect resurrected his brother in times of crisis, he took a photo. The general of Shuicheng shows how much he trusts his brother, so please don't worry, brother."
After hearing this, Sun Miao seemed to have calmed down his anger slightly, and snorted, "Fight to the death? If only 10,000 Shanshaan troops can fight to the death with the Nanyi who are heading north, Wang Hui of Heyu City will not quietly You'll die if you touch it, and you can't even send a message." He groaned and filled himself up with another glass of wine. When he raised the glass, it was a little shaken. He raised the glass towards Sun Hao, who immediately raised it The cup clinked with his, "Brother Xian, do you know how I responded to the news I received from the Military Affairs Office this time?"
Sun Hao held up the cup and shook his head.
Sun Miao snorted softly and drank the wine in the cup, "Brother Wei said that if the prefect cannot send a strong person from the first and third realms to come to Zhaoshui City to help, brother Wei may not be able to save Zhaoshui City!!"
Sun Hao was stunned, and then he sighed and drank the wine in one gulp.
Sun Miao was already very drunk at this time. When Sun Hao saw this, he stood up to say goodbye and went out. He called all the maids waiting outside the door to take care of the old general, and then left the general's mansion with the scholar. .
This fashion is afternoon, a line
The people rode horses in the city, quickly left Zhaoshui City, and returned to the Shuijun camp. They were silent all the way.
After returning to the camp, Sun Hao and the scholar entered the room that belonged to him in the enclosure, opened the soundproofing circle, and then turned around impatiently and asked, "Shui Sheng, my brother's words are somewhat true or false, what do you think?" look?"
