"Qing'er, everything is fine with me during this battle, how are you?" A murmur came from Mu Huailang's lips.
Mu Huailang's army wiped out the Yuerong Kingdom's forward garrison in one fell swoop. The remaining remnants of the Yuerong Kingdom were no longer enough to pose a threat to Han Zilu's troops, even if he was still seriously injured and unconscious.
At this time, another urgent report came from the direction of Luocheng, Mu Huailang's base camp. He handed over the rest of the matter to Xiao Cheng and Ning Hai, marshaled his troops and rushed to Luocheng overnight.
Although there are towns of reasonable size in the east, west, north, and south of Luocheng, all named after Luocheng, the real headquarters of Luocheng is Moxi Luocheng.
One of the reasons why Mu Huailang named all four border cities after Luocheng was to confuse the enemy so that they could not find the real headquarters. The second reason was to demonstrate the right of ownership. These four border cities belonged to him, Mu Huailang.
Los Angeles Defense District.
Mu Huairang's army had just finished sweeping Dongguan, and then rushed to Moxi Luo City without stopping. In the early morning, half of the army camped in a mountain nest five miles outside Luo City, and not all of them followed Mu Huairang and entered Luo City.
Luo City became increasingly quiet in the early morning. Although there were few pedestrians on the street, there was not a single person at all. The news that General Zhenxi led his army to return to defense spread throughout Luo City just as the sun was rising.
.
For many years, General Zhenxi has been the soul of Luo City and the spiritual support of the people in Luo City. Subconsciously, as long as he is here, no matter how many enemies come to harass him, Luo City will be safe and sound!
In these years, Mu Huailang has been carrying the mountain of trust from the people! Such trust from the people is certainly the merit of the garrison, but such blind trust is not a bad thing.
They pinned all their hopes on Mu Huailang, and they no longer had any subjective initiative. When encountering an enemy situation, they always thought that with the general here, everything would be safe!
Mu Huailang was not unaware of this status quo, but he was unable to change it. He also tried to change this status quo, pretending to be defeated, in order to mobilize the people's enthusiasm to actively defend against the enemy. But the result was that everyone
People watched helplessly as Xun Liangyu died tragically, but no one stood up.
I don't know if this behavior of the people of Luo City is due to their blind trust in Mu Huailang, or if it should be said that they have insensitive laziness in their bones.
This time, with the persistence of Feng Buyu and Duan Hua, Mu Huailang decided to try again. If this time he still couldn't mobilize the people of Luo City who were accustomed to ease, then he would be really cruel and let the enemy
Destroy the city to remind them that there are no absolutes in the world! There is no victorious general on the battlefield!
This was the main reason why he left half of his soldiers outside to hide.
The people Mu Huailang left outside were all his direct relatives, and the generals he brought into the city were those who had had the intention of mutiny outside the capital.
Of course, what he said internally was that he was assisting in the Battle of Dongguan and Luocheng to clear the border. Externally, it was the loss of troops in the Battle of Dongguan.
In other words, in the Battle of Dongguan, more than half of the original Luo City garrison was killed or injured!
As soon as this news got out, it was no different than the panic caused by a one-ton boulder falling from the sky into the water!
Suddenly, the whole Luo City was boiling!
The traders began to reduce their supply of goods, and the people began to sell off their valuables. For a time, everyone in the city was in action, but they were busy with their own livelihoods, instead of preparing to assist in the defense of the city.
Mu Huailang had expected this result, so his heart was not very sad. In his words, it had been like this for many years and he was used to it!
Mu Huailang was used to it, but Ye Suqing was not! She had heard the story about Lao Yan flying apart, and she also knew how to escape when the war came. But the enemy hadn't come yet, just because the defenders had been reduced by half in the battle, so she panicked.
Want to abandon the city and flee with your belongings?
Ye Suqing gritted her teeth and glared angrily at the people coming and going with large and small bags on the street to sell their luggage. She walked out of the corner, put her hands on her waist and stood in the street.
"Stop!" shouted, successfully stopping the footsteps of the people who were running around in panic.
It's just that although everyone stopped, they were still confused about the behavior of the young and beautiful woman in front of them. Some people simply ignored it, yelling dirty words about a good dog staying out of the way, and continued to attack her.
Come forward.
Ye Suqing was really angry! "Why are you all so bloodless? How can you just give up the home where your ancestors have lived for generations? The enemy hasn't come yet, so what if it does? Don't you know that the whole city is under attack?
, can it withstand a million-strong army?"
Some people stopped and tried to listen to what Ye Suqing said, and some were somewhat moved. But most of them showed indifferent faces. With a lot of money in hand, there is no place for home!
Ye Suqing glanced at the uneducated die-hards and continued: "The little girl is a stranger. She only lived in Luo City for a few years, and she has developed the determination to live or die with Luo City if enemies come.
.Don’t you, those of you who have lived here for generations for decades, nearly a hundred years, or even longer, have no idea of protecting your homeland?”
Ye Suqing paused, glanced at everyone's faces several times, and then said: "Look at the family members around you. There are old people who are struggling to walk, and there are babies and children who can't walk. Is this how you treat children and parents?
Think about it when you are old, and if your children are like you, when they hear that a disaster is coming, they abandon everything and only care about themselves, how would you feel?"
The old people on the street were in tears. Although the children did not say anything that did not include them, there was always an emotion in their words that they were a heavy burden.
"Hey, what do you, a woman, know? It's better to go home quickly, hug the child, and run for your life. Stop talking nonsense here! Whether we leave or stay is our own business. What does it have to do with you?"
Ye Suqing was stunned and speechless! After a while, she raised her dark eyes with a hint of sadness again, and said with a sad face: "I once faced the same situation as you. My son's life and death are still uncertain, but I am the same as you."
He was sentenced to death, left with his husband, and fled to Luo City alone.
Now, every time I think about it, I feel filled with regret! At that time, my son’s life or death was uncertain. A thought could lead to life or a thought could lead to death. He was only three years old, and he could bravely struggle in the face of death, but I ran away..."
Ye Suqing suddenly felt sad because she thought of Nian'er, and her face was stained with deep sadness. Tears rolled down her cheeks!
After she left the capital, she came to Luo City under the secret protection of Sister Hua and moved into the Red Mansion again. At this time, she was no longer the girl listed in the Red Mansion, but put on Sister Hua's mask and transformed into
The owner of the Red Mansion.
"How pitiful!"
This sentence awakened Ye Suqing, who was trapped in heavy pain. She raised her head suddenly, her eyes shining brightly, and said firmly: "If you leave Luo City now, you will become the next me!"
