Chapter Sixty-Third(2/2)
For Geng Bi's conquest plan, Ji County not only transferred all the elites, but also supplied all the grain and grass in the city. How could Ji County defend itself against an army of hundreds of thousands?
"Father?"
Fu Xie looked up when he heard the sound and saw his son Fu Qian arriving in the study at some unknown time.
"If you don't go to study, what are you doing here?" Fu Xie scolded.
"The rebels are approaching, and Ji County will be destroyed in a day. I'm going to die, but I still read a lot of books!" Fu Qian said.
Fu Xie looked at his son curiously, not expecting him to say such a thing.
"Are you afraid of death?"
"I'm afraid, I don't want to die, and I don't want my father to die either."
Fu Xie sighed and said nothing. He called Yang Hui, the chief secretary, and together they came to the head of Ji County.
At this time, there were already many camps outside the city of Ji County, and there was no possibility of breaking through.
"I originally thought that Hanyang County would gradually improve like Changshan County, but I didn't expect that it would be ruined by Geng Bi in one battle and Hanyang would be gone!"
Yang Hui sighed and felt his heart bleed. Although he didn't know what Changshan County was like in Fu Xie's mouth, Hanyang County had improved under his nose.
"Prefect Fu! Surrender!"
"Yes, let's surrender!"
Several shouts came from outside the city.
Fu Xie followed his reputation and saw that there were thousands of cavalrymen, among whom the first few were all familiar faces.
They were originally the cavalry of Hanyang County!
The cavalry came forward and all dismounted and kowtowed. The leader said: "Although we are Qiang and Hu people, we also guarded the city for the Han Dynasty and shed blood. This defeat is not the fault of Governor Fu. I beg the Governor not to burn everything!"
Fu Xie sneered in his heart, a group of traitors who surrendered to the enemy actually persuaded him to surrender.
However, he did not laugh at them, but at himself, his generosity, and the court.
"Since you have rebelled, you are Fu Xie's enemy. If you want to attack, attack if you want. You will only die!" Fu Xie said.
Fu Qian looked at his father in confusion, and Yang Hui shook his head helplessly.
"The prefect is loyal and righteous, and we are helpless. We have received favors from the prefect in the past, but have not repaid them. How dare we harm him? We are all willing to swear that if the prefect abandons Ji County, we will immediately quit the rebel army and escort the prefect back to his hometown!"
Behind these thousands of cavalry came Wuyang's rebel Qiang army. Han Sui and Ma Teng were riding in front, looking at this group of cavalry who had "surrendered to the enemy".
The generals on the side were a little surprised. The behavior of these guys was tantamount to surrendering to the enemy on the battlefield, but the two generals were indifferent.
Ma Teng sighed: "If there were more big men like Fu Xie, why would this happen?"
Han Sui just glanced at him and said nothing.
Fu Gan pulled Fu Xie's robe and said, "Father, the eunuchs are traitors and can't tolerate you. They sent you to guard the border. Now that the land here has reached a point where we can no longer defend ourselves, it is better to follow these soldiers who are grateful for my father's kindness and return home first." "
Fu Xie looked at his son and was filled with emotion. He seemed to have some truth in his heart and wanted to educate his son.
Why did Boyi die because of the violence of King Zhou, but Confucius praised him for his virtue?
What is the duty of eating the king's salary, being loyal to the king, and guarding the general?
But he couldn't speak.
He looked at the weeping soldiers below the city, and suddenly thought of someone in his mind.
Fu Xie let out a long sigh, looked at Yang Hui, and said: "Standing fast to the isolated city today and dying here in battle is enough to honor our loyalty, but..."
Yang Hui didn't understand what he was going to say. He was sitting in a lonely city, dying for his country, and dying generously. Why did a "but" suddenly come to him?
Fu Xie couldn't speak any more, so he silently took out a letter and handed it to Yang Hui.
Yang Hui stretched out his hand to take it, and it turned out to be a rare paper letter. The envelope was personally signed by Fu Xie, but the word "Xie" was written sloppily and into a mess, and the other words were also ordinary.
