After handing over all matters in the army to Wang Mi's men, how long had passed before the closest guard actually died!
Such a good man, upright and loyal, he is dead, but Liu Laozhi is still alive!
He is a sinner!
I feel sorry for the people of Jingkou, and even more sorry for the soldiers of Beifu under his rule. If he hadn't underestimated the enemy and left defense undefended, how could he have ended up in such an embarrassing situation?
What a cruel thing it is that a person who is fully qualified to live dies, while a person who fully deserves to die is alive!
Xue Tanshou's death finally aroused Liu Laozhi's long-lost sense of guilt, making him regret his lack of progress.
"General Liu, what should we do?"
"Why haven't the reinforcements come yet?"
"Are we all going to die here?"
The series of questions reflected that the man had really returned to normal, and he began to think about problems with an ordinary person's mind.
After the huge shock, Liu Laozhi, who had always been shameless and indifferent, could not help but feel a little exhausted. With the help of the man, he finally returned to his seat and took a drink of water to calm down.
"Don't worry, I won't let Tan Shou die in vain."
"Sima Shangzhi has evil intentions. Although he has not taken action now, his goal will definitely be to build Kangcheng before long."
"Now that Jingkou is in his hands, there's nothing we can do. I've already sent people out of the city to deliver the letter. As long as King Langya can receive the letter, we still have a chance to turn things around!"
The guard disagreed: "General, now that the entire Jingkou is under their control, can that letter really be delivered to King Langya?"
"What if something goes wrong and the army is indifferent?"
"The capital is empty. Once Sima Shangzhi raises his troops, although many Beifu brothers will not follow him, there are naturally many people who want to survive. These soldiers combined are enough to cause trouble in the capital."
"If Jiankang is in danger or even lost, then the Beifu brothers who are fighting abroad will have no home! Where will they go?"
The guard's tears have not yet dried, and every word he speaks is pertinent and full of worry. If it were in the past, he would not have dared to say such things.
Liu Laozhi is stubborn and confused. As his guard, the man has already understood that if he wants to stay by his side for a long time, he must turn a blind eye to many things.
If you are serious and argue with him, he will never admit that he is wrong, and will instead criticize you.
No matter the man or Xue Tanshou, Liu Laozhi's reputation with Liu Laozhi is far inferior to that of Yuan Fei, and they are both decent people and cannot play Yuan Fei's flattering tricks.
Liu Laozhi could not be coaxed into being flattered and allowed to make all their mistakes, so on weekdays, their brothers were cautious when acting as guards.
Don't dare to make any mistakes.
But now, this fear based on identity no longer exists, the man has died once.
Although he had never died and the person who died was Xue Tanshou, he could fully understand the pain of losing his life.
This city has fallen into a state of catastrophe, and only in the General's Mansion, there is still a trace of peace from the past.
However, as soon as you step out of the courtyard, the howling cold wind and countless corpses will remind you that Jingkou has long become a purgatory on earth.
It is even ten thousand times more terrifying than hell!
What is hell really like?
Has anyone seen it?
No one can explain it clearly. Those passed down by word of mouth are just legends. No one has witnessed it with their own eyes.
However, the current tragic situation in Jingkou is really before people's eyes. You can't avoid it, and you can't turn a blind eye.
You can't close your eyes or even hold your breath!
It goes without saying that the streets of Jingkou are now filled with a strong smell of blood and rancid smell.
This comparison is too cruel, who can accept it?
Obviously not long ago, this was the safest place in the Jin Dynasty. The lives of the people and the construction of the army were running smoothly on track.
However, almost overnight, everything changed!
What did Liu Laozhi, the commander-in-chief, do?
Did he lead his soldiers in a desperate fight? Did he commit suicide because of the loss of the city?
He has none!
Jingkou has been brought to such a state by this man, who else will respect his ideas?
Even if you respect it, so what?
Can he lead everyone to take back Jingkou?
he can not!
So, even if you are dissatisfied, just bear with it!
"This is not something we can worry about now. Not only King Langya, but also the Queen Mother. I have also written a letter explaining the situation and reminding them to take precautions. As long as Jiankang City can hold on, the Northern Expeditionary Army will definitely
Come back in time!"
What is optimism?
That’s it!
Jingkou was in the hands of Liu Laozhi, and he couldn't hold it. He still expected to hold on to a place like Jiankang City where the troops were empty and there was no strong general.
Isn’t this a fantasy?
"So what if we received our letter? Sima Shangzhi also wrote a message to the court. He said that General, you surrendered on your own initiative, and you will follow him and stationed in the capital soon. I am afraid that the Queen Mother will not listen to the General.
Explained.”
"What did you say?"
"They actually said I surrendered?"
Liu Laozhi got up and slapped the case, and Dengzhang was angry!
Can't bear it!
Sima Shangzhi can say that he is stupid and useless, that he lost the battle and lost the Jingkou base camp, but he cannot slander him and say that he is a cowardly rat for actually surrendering to him, Sima Shangzhi!
If this news spreads, where will Liu Laozhi's face go?
What's more, was it simply known to outsiders? It was reported to the Queen Mother!
If anyone in a superior position hears that a lowly general has betrayed him and defected to the rebels, regardless of whether it is true or not, Liu Laozhi's credibility with Wang Zhenying will be greatly reduced.
No more singing!
It is impossible for Wang Zhenying to believe him again!
He Liu Laozhi is a traitor and a coward!
If Wang Zhiyuan was in Jiankang or Jingkou at this moment, would something like this happen?
It's simply impossible!
Therefore, it was Liu Laozhi who was incompetent. As the commander-in-chief, when Wang Zhiyuan went on an expedition, he solemnly handed over Jingkou to Liu Laozhi's hands.
Didn't he, Old Liu, still want to control the Beifu soldiers with one hand, but he was dissatisfied that Wang Mi jumped on his head? Now, the opportunity has come.
How did he do it?
hehe!
Hahaha!
Not only did he fail to complete the task assigned to him by Wang Mi, but he lost the city and allowed the army to threaten the capital Jiankang.
Such a person actually fantasizes about being able to maintain a good impression of the Queen Mother Wang Zhenying.
There is definitely nothing wrong with Wang Zhenying's mind. The only one who is faulty is Liu Laozhi.
However, Liu Laozhi's concerns are also very realistic.
If he wants to continue to exist now, he can only show his loyalty to the court and let Wang Zhenying see his value.
However, the cunning and despicable Sima Shangzhi went behind his back and lied to the court. In this way, Liu Laozhi's retreat was completely cut off.
Neither the court nor the Queen Mother would believe him anymore. In this way, no matter whether Sima Shangzhi wins or loses in the end, he and Liu Laozhi will not get any good results.
If Sima Shangzhi wins, Liu Laozhi will be useless and he will definitely be eradicated. Originally, Sima Shangzhi did not intend to keep him, but now he is still needed to maintain a balance in Jingkou.
After all, many Beifu soldiers in Jingkou have already figured it out and plan to follow Sima Shangzhi.
However, these people did not master the making of firearms and could not provide clues to Sima Shangzhi, and Sima Shangzhi had always been arrogant.
There were obviously people in the city who could show him how to use guns and artillery, but Sima Shangzhi just wanted to embarrass those poor Liu Laozhi's guards.
If they refused to say anything, he would not replace them.
Until he forced them to death, Sima Shangzhi always had a playful attitude towards these Beifu soldiers and had no intention of treating them seriously or properly.
Ordinary soldiers who have never offended him at all are insignificant to him, and he can treat them so cruelly.
How could a person like Liu Laozhi, who is an eyesore, have a good end?
He will definitely die, and his death will be ugly.
And what if Sima Shangzhi loses?
That's even worse!
In fact, in Liu Laozhi's opinion, this possibility is still greater. Although he is a waste, Wang Mi is not.
Now, the situation in Jingkou has just changed. He hasn't received the news yet, so he hasn't taken any action.
When he receives the news, he will not sit still and wait for death.
Old Liu now has an idea. Although I can't do it, our Beifu general, King Langya, can definitely do it.
When he comes, your death will also come!
Beifu will win!
At this point, Liu Laozhi was more confident than Wang Mi. Before the protagonist even arrived, Liu Laozhi had already announced that he would definitely win.
However, the current situation is a bit delicate.
If Wang Mi really wins, then Wang Mi and Wang Zhenying have the final say in the court. Regardless of whether Liu Laozhi betrayed him or not, it is always a fact that he did not hold Jingkou.
Is it necessary for the court to keep such a defeated general and a fool?
Not to mention, he is still suspected of betrayal?
Once this suspicion cannot be removed, there will be no need for Liu Laozhi to survive with Wang Zhenying!
Now Liu Laozhi, because of Sima Shangzhi's few words, has turned into a ridiculous man with two faces.
No matter which side wins, the possibility that Liu Laozhi can escape unscathed is extremely low.
but!
I still can't stand being slandered as a rat who will surrender!
"I want to write to the Queen Mother to clarify the truth! Go and hold the door for me!"
Guard: Old Liu, are you okay?
What is the situation in Jingkou now?
Even if you write this letter, can you deliver it?
It turns out that failure and being imprisoned will not make Liu Laozhi collapse, but surrender will, or it can be said that surrender will not.
However, if word spreads, it will be very bad.
…………
Since entering the southern border and even reaching the border of Jiangzhou, the speed of the Northern Expedition's returning reinforcements has increased a lot.
This is our own territory, and the Beifu soldiers can roam freely, and supplies can be made quickly. At the same time, many generals who are far away from Jingkou and Jiankang, because they have been in the south, know a little bit about the situation there.
Because Sima Shangzhi's brothers were originally stationed in Yangzhou, which was very close to Jiankang and Jingkou, their brothers directly launched an army. The generals in the middle and lower reaches had already taken action before the generals in the middle and lower reaches even got the news.
The fighting was not particularly fierce, and the battle did not affect a wide area. In fact, before arriving at Liyang County, He Wuji and the others had no idea what the current situation was like in Jingkou or in health.
Fortunately, along the way, it can be seen that Sima Shangzhi's power has not yet had a greater influence. Wherever he went, there was order and no major chaos occurred just because he raised troops.
This actually gave He Wuji and the others some opportunities. At least, they didn't start fighting on the road.
You know, before the troops were divided, He Wuji had such worries.
They have been on the expedition for a long time, and they haven't received much news from Jiankang City. Previously, the autographs they received from the Imperial Palace were mostly good news.
Not long ago, Wang Mi wrote back to Wang Zhenying to make plans for her and help her stabilize the situation.
At that time, all troubles had not happened yet and everything was going smoothly. Who would have thought that such a disaster would happen not long after!
It is really either calm and calm, or there is a roaring mountain and a tsunami, rushing to destroy the country and destroy the family!
Although the envoys sent by Wang Zhenying also came along this route, they also provided a lot of information to the Beifu soldiers, ensuring that the generals along the way had no intention of joining forces with Sima Shangzhi.
Of course, in order to deliver the letter quickly and conveniently, the two people did not dare to show their true identities everywhere, so they could only disguise themselves.
They were in a hurry and did not dare to delay anywhere. They could not fully understand the situation in each place.
However, judging from what they observed, it was generally OK, and the various military towns were in good order.
There was no large-scale mobilization of troops and horses, and they probably did not unite with Sima Shangzhi, or perhaps Sima Shangzhi did not notify them.
Eat alone.
Who wouldn't be excited to have the opportunity to become emperor?
Who wouldn't be excited?
Who cares about others?
Of course, I left Yazi and went straight to Jiankang City!
So much so that He Wuji and the others had no idea what was going on in Jiankang City and what was happening in Jingkou.
Will it have been saved?
Liu Laozhi is not a waste either!
It's not like he can't even deal with someone like Sima Shangzhi, right? As long as Liu Laozhi can hold Jingkou and dispatch troops from Jingkou, Jiankang City should be safe.
However, at this moment, a shocking news suddenly appeared in front of He Wuji and Zeng Jing!
Liu Laozhi!
The No. 1 general left behind in Jingkou Beifu!
He actually surrendered to Sima Shangzhi, brother of Sima Xiu!
"How is this possible?"
"I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out at all. What is going on?"
"Uncle, why did he do this?"
The most puzzling person about Liu Laozhi's various behaviors is He Wuji. Although he is now independent, don't forget that He Wuji is still Liu Laozhi's nephew and close relative.
