Chapter 534 Sun Baigu
Datong.
"Mr. Law."
"Mr. Law."
A scholar named Laozhao walked up the city, and soldiers greeted him along the way.
Lao Zhao was twenty-five years old. His ordinary face had a slightly curved back. He looked insane, but he also had a bookish atmosphere.
He walked up to the city and stood beside a general wearing armor.
"Supervisor."
Sun Baigu was looking at the wolf smoke in the mountains in the distance, and said, "It seems that Taiyuan is falling."
"Taiyuan City cannot be defended." Lao Zhao said, "What the commander should be worried about is whether the capital will fall."
The evening clouds in the distance are glowing red, sometimes rolling and sometimes relaxing.
The world is desolate.
Sun Baigu suddenly felt that the Chu Dynasty was about to fall to the late sun in the mountains.
"The court did not have an edict to transfer me back to the capital to serve the king."
Lao Zhao said: "The emperors in the capital still have expectations and want the general to defend Xuan Da, which is ridiculous and lamentable."
"So what if Xuanda is defended?" Sun Baigu said, "Tang rebels and advances eastward. Tang Zhongyuan led his troops to attack Shanxi and headed straight to Xuanda. However, the King of Hell of Wu walked around the Taihang Mountains along the Yellow River and went to the capital from Henan to the north."
"The emperors in the capital feel that if the King of Hell of Wu is progressing quickly, it will be too late to transfer the general back to help."
Sun Baigu shook his head helplessly and said sarcastically: "I just hold on to my fantasy."
He was silent for a moment, and sighed again: "Zhang Yongnian must not be able to defend Jizhen... The storm is coming."
This Chu Dynasty was basically indecisive.
For individuals, defecting to Tang Zhongyuan seems to have become the best choice.
Sun Baigu knew that many of his commanders were already ready to move.
But he didn't know why he was reluctant to vote...
He was a civil servant, and he studied books of sages since he was a child, and learned to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. At the age of 26, he passed the imperial examination and served as a six-department department, and after he became a governor, he began to encircle and suppress bandits.
When he first held the knife, Sun Baigu did not expect that chasing a group of mud legs would become his career in his life.
This is completely different from his initial ambition to study and govern the country.
The so-called "going out to the general and entering the prime minister" means that after leaving the general, he never enters the prime minister again.
The first time he killed someone, he killed the grain official in Yongcheng. Because of his greed for ink, Sun Baigu cut him off with one knife.
He originally knew how to do martial arts, so he could do it while chopping.
During the plague last year, he personally killed the general who was hiding in the military camp to recuperate. He was an old man who had followed him for sixteen years.
Sixteen years of life and death were cut off with one knife, and the old soldier didn't say a word, and Sun Baigu didn't say a word either.
After that, the rain of arrows on Datong City Pass never stopped, and the bodies of the fleeing patients were covered with densely packed outside the Datong City Wall...
The young civil servant who once read a book has long been a heart-warming heart after walking through the sea of corpses and blood.
He chased Tang Zhongyuan for half his life and defeated Tang Zhongyuan countless times.
But Tang Zhongyuan could lose countless times, but Sun Baigu could not afford to lose even once.
For this Chu Dynasty, he gave up his ambitions, his humanity, and everything about him. Now, as long as he loses this time, the Chu Dynasty will perish.
And this time, it was obvious that it was a loss.
"Living is a joke." Sun Baigu laughed at himself and suddenly asked, "Do you think the Chu Dynasty has exhausted?"
There is really nothing to ask about this question.
"The Chu Dynasty has accumulated a lot of problems." Lao Zhao said, "The rise and fall of heaven is determined, and prosperity and decline are based on the support. The commander goes against the trend, even if the heroes are overwhelming, they will not be able to turn the world back."
"The trapped beasts are still fighting, and there must be someone in the world going against the trend... So? Are you the Tang thief who was inserted into the Datong army to persuade me to surrender?"
Lao Zhao said: "I have been in Datong for three months. The commander-in-chief has kept me by my side, but he has never been willing to entrust trust. So that's what he thought?"
The showdown is quite sudden.
But Sun Baigu knew that Laozhao had something to say when he got on the top of the city, so he responded lightly: "It's rare that I can't find out who you are. Since you are not a member of the Tang thief, then did Your Majesty send you to test me?"
A sentence is light. But for Sun Baigu, who has been loyal to killing the enemy for a lifetime, but he has never gained the trust of the king. Only he himself understands the bitterness of his death...
"I will probably make you laugh when you say it out." Lao Zhao smiled bitterly, "I am from the Wang family in the capital."
"Which Wang family?"
"The Wang family, who sells wine."
Sun Baigu: “…”
He obviously had never heard of anything from the Wang family or the Wang family.
I thought this was a powerful character, but I didn’t know where the kitten and puppy came from...
"My owner Wang Zhen is the elder brother of Marquis Huaiyuan."
Sun Baigu still had a expressionless face.
He had heard of epidemic prevention in the capital and Wang Xiao went to Liaodong, but he didn't know much about it.
Lao Zhao was a little embarrassed for a moment.
"I'm here, and I'm ordered to ask the Supervisor to return to the capital at the right time and force Jiannu to retreat."
Sun Baigu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes flashed with some alertness.
A prince consort intervened in Xuanda’s military affairs? The matter was a bit weird.
Lao Zhao reached into his arms and said, "There is a letter written by Marquis Huaiyuan here. I hope the commander will read it..."
"Take it!"
Sun Baigu shouted, and someone pressed the call of the slaughter.
Lao Zhao did not resist, and kneeled down on one knee in a very obedient manner and let others press it. He watched Sun Baigu open the letter honestly.
"... I want to use 30,000 cavalry to break into Jiannu's hinterland, disrupt the rear, dig the old slave's tomb, and destroy the Shenyang palace city... I will do everything I can to force the slave chief to return to help."
"However, if things are inconsistent, I will take the liberty to ask the commander to temporarily abandon Xuanda and return to the capital to protect the capital. There is no need for the commander to fight to the death, just deploy troops in the capital, and the slave chief will retreat..."
"The younger generations in the Tang Zhongyuan also have arrangements. Before forcing Jiannu to retreat, they will not be allowed to attack the capital. The generals must remember that they must not confront Tang Zhongyuan. If the war occurs, they will be taken advantage of by the slave chief..."
"Because I don't know when the commander will return to defense, I may have leaked the news. The younger generation did not send the order to Xuanda first. However, the left chief minister had filed with the Ministry of War, and he was responsible for his crimes afterwards, resigned without permission and lost the city defense. In this case, the younger generation and the left chief minister will bear the responsibility together, and will not let the commander be involved, and there will be no worries..."
"This matter must be done as soon as possible. Once Jiannu conquered Jizhen and returned to help in a panic, the major event will be over! The officials in the court failed and did not know about military affairs. But the opportunity passed by like a flash..."
"If this move is about personal honor, the Supervisor can take the opportunity to throw away the humiliation of losing Xuanda and defeat the honor of Jiannu. If it is about future and life, the Supervisor can use this to shrink the defense line and defend the capital with all his strength."
"If you talk about the family, country and the world, foreign countries and turmoil, or internal security, familiarity, slowness and urgentness? When this crisis situation, the country and the country are born in the country and the generals are just a thought, and the generals are begging the generals to think deeply..."
"The Prince of Chu, the Prince of Huaiyuan laughed, and paused his head again and again..."
After reading a long letter, Sun Baigu was speechless for a long time.
Lao Zhao said again: "The Marquis who should have said it should have already said in the letter, but I still want to persuade the Supervisor to speak. With the Marquis' current status, what is the difficulty of asking the Supervisor to call the Supervisor to return to Beijing to serve the King? I was afraid that the news would be revealed and the major incident will be missed. This made me openly and openly persuade the Supervisor to ask the Supervisor to understand..."
Sun Baigu glanced at Lao Zhao indifferently and walked back and forth with the letter.
He has always acted decisively, but hesitated.
Did Wang Xiao collude with Tang Ni to deceive himself?
Your Majesty will not allow it to let Xuan Da go and let Tang transit the border...
Once the army is defeated and his majesty is furious, it will be a serious crime for privately transferring the army...
"Have you returned from a horse exploration in the capital?" Sun Baigu shouted.
"Report to the commander, there is no..."
When Laozhao saw him hesitating, he advised again: "Mr. General, my master has contacted Zuo Shou Gong. He will arrive soon after the king summons the order. Please prepare early."
"Shut up! Let me think about it."
At the city gate, only the sound of Sun Baigu pacing back and forth sounded.
"Report, the commander-in-chief, here..."
Lao Zhao was overjoyed and shouted, "General, I didn't lie to you, the king is here."
"Is there an edict?" Sun Baigu asked the horse.
"No...no, only the official newspaper."
Sun Baigu took the letter, but his face changed again and again. He was very happy and sad. Then he shook his hand and the report fell in front of Laozhao.
Lao Zhao looked at the news one by one.
"The Marquis has indeed dug the old slave's tomb. Supervisor, you can..."
The next moment, he saw Yongping Mansion being slaughtered...
The next moment, he saw the news that Zuo Jinglun had brought guilt to his old age.
The cabinet chief minister was replaced...He Liangyuan.
No order to serve the king?
"Mr. Governor, my eldest son must have arrangements. You can go back to Beijing with confidence..."
"Stop it! Come and take him down!"
"Master General, listen to me..."
At the city gate, Sun Baigu took out Wang Xiao's letter and took a look.
Chapter completed!
