Chapter 149 Attack on Guangling
As soon as Li Jing's order was issued, Li Jing's generals were ready for battle, eyeing Guangling City covetously.
But no one panicked and everyone followed orders.
The vanguard went to Guangling city to challenge the enemy and killed people on all sides.
Several fierce generals under Prince Guangling were killed by a general under Li Jing who was holding a halberd.
The news spread like wildfire and reached the city of Guangling, causing fear among the soldiers and panic among the people.
"what happened?"
"Li Jing's army is so powerful?"
"For three consecutive days, Guangling has lost six generals."
"Yes! It's a bit unbelievable. No matter how poor Guangling is, we still have several powerful generals!"
"I'm afraid Guangling is in danger this time. We should have left the city to avoid the limelight. I wonder if Li Jing's army will attack us after entering the city."
"..."
The people were in an uproar; some were worried, some were indignant, and some were furious.
He was full of ambition to compete with Li Jing's army outside, but he shook his head and couldn't help but sigh.
They had no other choice. Sending troops to fight was the decision made by those in power, and ordinary people like them could only watch.
In the palace of Prince Guangling, Prince Guangling sat at the head of the high seat with a serious expression.
Half of the people in the meeting room were gone, and everyone was dejected and had no fighting spirit at all.
Zhao Piu looked depressed, slammed the table and stood up, angrily saying: "Everyone, don't you have anything to say?"
"Life and death, you want to sit on the sidelines and watch?"
After hearing this, all the colleagues remained silent.
Seeing this, Zhao Piu could not help but said angrily, "Speak up."
Zhao Yi rolled his eyes at Zhao Piu and shouted angrily, "Sit down."
After hearing this, Zhao Piao did not disobey Zhao Yi, but sat down with a look of anger on his face.
Zhao Yi sighed and said, "Everyone, I feel deeply sorry for the soldiers who died, and I am grateful to them."
"The enemy is too strong and they have tried hard."
"Next, we have to go to battle again. Who is willing to fight?"
Zhao Yi's words were like a sledgehammer falling down, hitting everyone's chest.
The colleagues were a little breathless.
At this time, no one stood up and everyone remained silent.
Zhao Yi frowned and said, "Guangling is in our hands, but Li Jing's army is challenging us every day. Do you want to hand Guangling over to us?"
There was still no one answering in the hall.
a long time.
Zhao Yi sighed and said, "Everyone, I know exactly what you are thinking."
After he finished speaking, the King of Guangling slowly stood up and walked towards the door.
The officials stood up and followed Zhao Yi out of the conference room.
Zhao Pi stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "Father, I am willing to go."
Zhao Yi glared at Zhao Piao and said calmly, "What are you doing? You've already gone to battle and returned defeated, and now you want to demoralize my army again?"
Zhao Yi was very unhappy after hearing this.
Before that, he can say whatever he wants.
But he had already been defeated by others, yet he still dared to speak so arrogantly. Zhao Yi frowned and secretly cursed himself as a useless prince.
Zhao Yi sent a general to continue challenging Li Jing's army outside the city.
But after just one round, the general fell off his horse and died.
There was another commotion in Guangling City.
Zhao Yi slammed the table and stood up, angrily saying: "Is there no capable person in Guangling?"
"Damn it, is the general on the opposite side so powerful?"
"This king..."
Zhao Piao said, "Father, why don't you let General Wang go to fight?"
Zhao Yi frowned and said, "Piao'er, that's our last team, don't move them."
"If we lose, we still have a way out."
"General Wang, this is our father and son's retreat."
After hearing this, Zhao Pi was stunned and said in shock: "Father, you, you mean that we can't win this defense battle?"
Zhao Yi went from being confident to being desperate. He shook his head and said, "We lost a long time ago. Ever since the owner of Chunxue Tower told me that he would surrender, it was already too late."
"Piao'er, the owner of Chunxue Tower is right. He said: We are too selfish. We selfishly buried the people of the whole city with us. The Northern Liang army is heading south. It is God's will. I just don't believe it. It's all for profit and for that chair. The only difference is who is stronger, who has more conspiracies and who wins the hearts of the people."
"Now it seems that this Xu Ping'an is definitely not a good person!"
"We are unable to resist step by step."
After hearing this, Zhao Pi's expression changed drastically, "Father, who have you told these ideas to?"
Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "Only you."
After hearing this, Zhao Piu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's okay."
Zhao Yi stood up and walked out of the house. After taking a few steps, he turned around and looked at Zhao Piu, "Will you walk with me?"
Zhao Piao nodded and followed closely behind Zhao Yi.
After a long time, the two walked to a pavilion and sat down.
Seeing that there was no one around, Zhao Yi said, "Piao'er, take your family and leave. I will give General Wang to you."
"Go to Beiliang."
Zhao Pi was stunned after hearing this. He frowned and asked, "Father, what are you talking about? How can I abandon the city and leave? Or, or go to Beiliang? I, I, I will never go."
"If you want to leave, you go ahead. I will stay here to guard Guangling City. I am outside the city."
"If I die, it will be as if I didn't have a son."
Zhao Yi said earnestly: "I have deep feelings for Guangling. You are still young. If you escape and go to Beiliang, no one will make things difficult for you."
He continued, "Xu Ping'an has already said that all the family members of the vassal kings who enter Beiliang must not be killed and must be treated with due respect."
Zhao Pi pondered for a long time before he stared at Zhao Yi and asked, "Father, do you really think so? If I go to Beiliang, I can live?"
“The people in front may have a chance to survive, but those who go behind will die.”
Zhao Piao didn't believe that Beiliang was so kind as to accept a group of losers, especially the families of the princes, who were all destabilizing factors.
Zhao Yi's face turned cold, and he said, "Piao'er, listen to your father, take your family and leave Guangling as soon as possible."
Zhao Pi frowned and said, "Father..."
Zhao Yi said angrily: "Do you want to see your father, the king, die in front of you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dagger appeared in Zhao Yi's hand, and with a clang, it was unsheathed.
Zhao Yi placed his hand across Zhao Pi's neck and said to him, "Piao'er, if you dare not listen to your father, I will die in front of you."
Zhao Pi hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Father, I will listen to you. I will take my family and leave for Beiliang now."
---------------
"General Wang..."
"Your Majesty, you don't need to say anything. I don't want to leave Guangling. Let other generals go."
In the palace, in the study of Prince Guangling, Prince Guangling sat in the main seat, and General Wang sat below him. He saluted towards Zhao Yi and said in a deep voice:
Zhao Yi looked a little disappointed and asked, "Why?"
"Does the general want to abandon me too?"
After hearing this, General Wang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is wrong! I don't want to leave Guangling."
"As long as Guangling is here, I am here. If I die, Guangling City will die!"
"If Your Majesty wishes to leave Guangling, I am willing to escort him out of the city in person."
