Chapter 280 Lu Gao Surrender (Part 1)

Although I firmly guarded this city here and kept tug-of-war with the Hu people, it was ridiculous to the end, and it was obviously not me.

There are many cities in Youzhou, but this big city is probably the only one that has not yet fallen into the hands of the Hu people.

He kept hearing that Youzhou City was annexed by the other party, and Lu Gao knew that this was an isolated city.

"Have all the people in the city sent them away?" Thinking of this, Lu Gao asked a hoarse voice behind him. It was this person responsible for contacting the Dacheng Dynasty. It was the most suitable person to ask this official.

"The Grand Marshal, the last group of people, left by boat three days ago." The official said hurriedly.

Did the last group of people leave on a boat three days ago?

In this way, there are only a few thousand people left in this city?

Lu Gao looked outside the city and his thoughts couldn't help but return to a long time ago.

At that time, Youzhou was just invaded by the Hu people, and half of the cities were still in their hands, and many forces were still resisting the Hu people's annexation.

As a descendant of the Lu family in Youzhou for several generations, Lu Gao was the governor of Youzhou of this generation. His son took the father's business and began to operate this area after his father's death.

If he continues and gives him several more years, the Youzhou will be unified and solid.

But at this moment, Emperor Dacheng suddenly rose, and Wei Yue suddenly killed the emperor and ascended the throne. The Dayan Dynasty suddenly came to an end and was suddenly destroyed.

The world's chaos changed from dark to light, and the princes from all over the country became independent, and Lu Gao later established himself in Youzhou.

During the last few emperors of Dayan, the vassal states in various places acted independently.

With the Da Yan here, the princes were somewhat concerned, and the official position of Da Yan also had some influence. Once it was made public, the status would be meaningless.

The chaos arose, and the small princes were annexed by the big princes, and the big princes were fighting continuously.

Even though he occupied one-third of Youzhou, he still faced many crises. Later, he lost his status and relied on force to stabilize the chaos in Youzhou and ushered in the invasion of the Hu people.

The King of Chu was the current assistance from Emperor Dacheng, and he did not expect it in advance.

Lu Gao knew that Emperor Dacheng helped him, but he didn't want the Hu people to invade the south too early, but even so, he still received this affection.

Looking around, the bustling city is now like the dead city. In addition to being sad, Lu Gao felt more grateful.

Not only did the weapons and food support make me resist until now, but if Emperor Dacheng had not sent a ship to pick up the people in the city, once the city was lost, the Hu people would be cruel and could he let the young and old in the city be spared?

Thinking of Wang Hongyi, who ascended the throne of Jinling, Lu Gao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I had some ideas before, but now, the south and most of the Central Plains have all belonged to Emperor Dacheng. The only one who can resist the Hu people is the only one who can resist the Hu people...

Forget it, it’s time to think about the way out.

"Master, judging from the actions of the Hu people over the past two days, a large number of people have gathered again. I am afraid that they will attack the city again." General Xu Zhong stood in armor, and at this time he also looked at the Hu camp below and said with a serious expression.

I can still feel this after fighting a lifetime of war.

In fact, without Xu Zhong reminding me, Lu Gao noticed it and sighed: "The counties in Youzhou have fallen into the hands of the Hu people one after another. Now only here is still standing. I am afraid that this will be an isolated city in a few days."

Thinking of this, Lu Gao coughed and itched again and coughed for a while.

"Master, your body is important, so let's go down and rest for a while." Xu Zhong said worriedly when he saw this. You must know that at this time, Lu Gao was the backbone of the people in the city. He fell down, and he was afraid that this city would be destroyed without attacking.

Lu Gao was silent for a while and nodded: "I'll rely on the general here."

Then he stepped down from the city wall.

The fighting sounded outside again, and when Lu Gao returned, a new round of temptation had begun.

Sitting in the carriage and looking at the empty streets in the city, Lu Gao had some thoughts in his mind.

"Don't go back to the mansion directly, go to Nancheng." Lu Gao said.

"...No!" I don't know what the commander is doing, but as a subordinate, you just follow the order.

So the carriage turned around and headed towards the south city along a street.

The cavalry following Lu Gao's carriage was a little surprised, but they were still silent and followed closely.

Nancheng was originally the most prosperous area in this city, with brothels, wine shops, shops, and shops everywhere.

At this time, there was no one here.

When Lu Gao's carriage passed by, the crisp sound of horse hooves and wheels were so clear on this empty street.

"Go to Dafulou." Lu Gao said in the carriage.

After hearing the command of the commander, everyone woke up.

Some time ago, some people were not sure who lived in Dafu Building, Nancheng. The people in the city gradually evacuated one after another. The special envoy from the Dacheng Dynasty came to the surface.

This special envoy currently lives in Dafulou. Judging from the meaning of Damao, it seems that he has some plans?

Everyone was shocked and puzzled, and the carriage was still speeding, heading towards the direction of Dafu Tower.

Dafu Tower was originally a villa for a family in Youzhou. It covers a small area and is built very exquisitely and elegantly. From the gate to the back, it was all built by famous craftsmen.

Later, I gave it to the Lu family, and from Lu Gao, I gave it to someone else.

The person who was sent was Lord Liu from the Dacheng Dynasty.

Mr. Liu is about twenty-five years old, handsome and well-intentioned. During several contacts with Lu Gao, he gave Lu Gao a very good impression.

Lu Gao was seriously ill at the time of the new year, and this person sent some urgently dispatched medicines. From this person's attitude, the attitude of Emperor Dacheng towards him can be seen.

Lu Gao was a little confused about this.

Emperor Dacheng now owns the entire territory south of the Yangtze River, and now he has occupied most of the Central Plains. He is only a little short of it and completely occupying the Central Plains, the soldiers and the Yellow River.

It can be said that most of the essence of the world has been occupied, and it is already worthy of the name of the emperor.

Such great strength and status were in control of half of Youzhou when I was in full swing. It is understandable that I have such an attitude. Now I am shaking and only have a few cities. What does it mean?

"Master, Dafu Tower has arrived." Lu Gao was thinking about it, and the carriage stopped.

Lu Gao reached out and lifted the curtain of the car. Someone had already supported him outside, so he let Lu Gao walk down. After a while, Lu Gao couldn't help coughing again.

"Master, did you come and call the door?" Someone dismounted and asked.

Lu Gao's face was a little flushed at this time, he covered his mouth with his hands and nodded. Seeing this, the man immediately went up the steps and pressed against the door.

In just a while, there was movement inside.

As soon as the door opened, a butler walked out of the inside. When he saw the formation outside, he was stunned at first, and saw Lu Gao in the crowd, and immediately smiled on his face.

"It turns out that the commander has arrived. Please wait for a while. The young man will go and report to my master!" As he said that, he turned around and entered the mansion.

After a while, the footsteps rang out.

The middle door opened wide, and a young man walked out of the door and bowed to Lu Gaoxiao: "The foreign official has seen the Grand Marshal, how is the Grand Marshal better?"

"Thanks to the ginseng given to Lord Liu, Lu is getting better," Lu Gao said.

"The weather is still cold, so the general may as well go to the mansion to speak." Liu Chao led the way in front as he spoke.

Lu Gao walked on the road, watching the man smile faintly, calming down a little. Until now, this person is still treated like this. It is really a matter of heaven.

"Master, please sit down." When Liu Chao walked into the hall, he smiled and ordered: "Give tea!"

Lu Gaocai received the tea, but saw Liu Chao put something on the table.

"What is this?" Lu Gao asked in confusion.

"This is a secret letter from the Hu people intercepted by our army. Please watch the contents of the above carefully."

Lu Gao was stunned, with an unlucky premonition, and spread the secret letter on the table. He just scanned it, his face suddenly turned blue and he coughed again.

"…The Hu people are going to meet here?"

"That's right." Liu Chao saw that Lu Gao had read the letter and put it away again.

"Five days ago, except for this city, the last city in Youzhou was captured. I believe the general thought that now Youzhou is an isolated city, and other cities have been captured by the Hu people."

"The lonely city cannot be defended, and only this city is left, so how can we hold on? If we continue to stay, Hu *** Junyun gathers here, I am afraid that he will not be able to leave even if he wants to."

After a pause, Liu Chao stood up and bowed to Nanfang, saying, "The emperor is very concerned about this situation. He specially sent a thousand miles to me and sent an order to ask the general to make a decision early and not to burn both jade and stone."

When Lu Gao heard this, his face changed slightly. He pondered for a while and sighed: "Forget it, the emperor cares about me, an lonely general, how dare I not obey? I will surrender to the emperor and obey the orders."

As he said that, he got up and knelt three times and nine times to the south.

When Liu Chao was overjoyed, he did not stop him. After performing the tribute of the king and his subjects, he stepped forward and bowed: "The emperor is the best place to pay homage to the general... The general can figure it out."

"Before the Xiaguan came to Youzhou, His Majesty repeatedly told the emperor to protect the general from leaving. Now the general's family has been sent to Jinling, and the people in the city have been transferred out. It is really great that the general can leave with the emperor. When the emperor returns, he can also make an explanation."

I had no intention of living and dying with this city. I had already prepared to leave the ship. All the matter was ready and I was just waiting for Lu Gao to be persuaded once in the end. It would be best if Lu Gao was willing to leave with them. If he refused, he would have tried his best. If Lu Gao didn't want Lu Gao to come here in person, the matter would be done.

Thinking of this, Liu Chao said, "Since the general is willing to leave, the faster the better. The emperor's two fleets gather here. Although the remaining commander has 10,000 people, they can also move together. Please go back and prepare immediately - I send a signal that I can dock tonight."

Lu Gao knew that the situation was not optimistic, so he agreed.

After a moment, after leaving Dafu Tower, Lu Gao sat in the carriage, and as the carriage swayed, his expression became dazed, unable to say anything, and he always felt like he had lost something.

However, as Liu Chao said, his family members had already been sent to Jinling and continued to stay here, but they were simply unwilling to give up their ancestral family business.

But things are irreversible until now. If you don’t leave, you can only wait to die here.

It is worth noting to stay here for an empty city.

Emperor Dacheng has always had the reputation of preferential treatment for surrendered generals, and going to the south is not a bad result.
