Chapter 3829 Prepare to retreat

Now the rebel army is coming fiercely, pushing the soldiers and horses of the imperial court horizontally on the way forward, and hitting the foot of the city wall in a crushing manner.

Their fighting power and their soldiers and horses are far beyond Tong Guan's imagination.

On the contrary, these festivals make the army act independently, push each other, and habitually dodge when encountering troubles, hoping that others will protect them from mines and let others stand in the most dangerous places.

Under such thinking, how could they be the opponents of the rebel army.

When the two sides met, they stood up to each other.

Tong Guan stared at the city wall, and asked the Jiedu envoys, "Who is defending the city wall now?"

A group of Jiedu envoys clasped their fists and introduced, "The last general of Longxi Jiedu envoy Li Congji defends the northern city wall."

"The last general, Qinghe Jiedu envoy Jing Zhong, led 20 troops to defend the southern city wall."

"The last general, Dragon City Jiedu envoy Xu Jing, is stationed at the west city wall."

"The last general, Hongnong Jiedu Envoy Wang Wende, Zhongshan Anping Jiedu Envoy Zhang Kai, Yunzhong Yanmen Jiedu Envoy Han Cunbao led 60 troops to garrison Xiaotangshan in the east of the city."

Tong Guan asked, "How is the situation everywhere?"

Jing Zhong reported, "Now the southern city wall is weakly defended. There are 30 bandit troops gathered outside the southern city wall. They are in urgent need of military support. Please also ask the privy envoys to quickly dispatch troops and horses to help the general defend the southern city together."

Tong Guan raised his eyebrows and looked at the others, "Who will support?"

All the Jiedu envoys looked away, and they all found an excuse and said, "The rebel army is powerful, and we are still not sure where to attack from. We still need to remain unchanged. It is good to make plans after they start attacking. "

Jing Zhong said depressedly, "Nonsense, at that time, where will we have time to mobilize troops? You are greedy for life and afraid of death, and deliberately handed over this south of the city to us. Don't you want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, watching us fight with each other?" Are the thieves hurting both sides?"

The other generals all tried to evade, "General Jing Zhong, you are too serious!"

"It's true that the situation is unclear right now, so it's not suitable for troop deployment!"

"What if we go to the South City, and the bandit army goes to the North City or the West City?"

"It's even more impossible for us to go to Xiaotangshan. The terrain here is dangerous and it is the best place to defend. If we withdraw in a hurry, the thieves will definitely take advantage of the loopholes!"

"..."

Tong Guan was so angry when he heard this, he slapped the table and cursed, "Shut up!"

In the handsome account, he immediately calmed down.

Tong Guan said angrily, "What time is this, are you still fighting here? If Jinling City is breached by thieves, none of us will feel better. Taiwei Gao and I will go back to the capital to take the blame. What about you?" ? All the soldiers and horses in your hands will be wiped out, and you will have nothing to ask for at that time, and the wealth and power you have earned through years of hard work will also be burned. At that time, it will be you who will really suffer."

The hearts of all the generals present sank, secretly thinking that what Tong Guan said was true.

Without soldiers in their hands, they became bereaved dogs.

Even if he escaped, he would no longer have the power he had before.

They clasped fists with Tong Guan and expressed their opinions one after another, "Marshal, we will definitely defend the city to the death, and we will never let the thieves step into the city."

"Don't worry, Marshal, we will fight the thieves to the end."

"Marshal, I swear to the death that I will not let the thieves enter the city for half a step."

"Victory must be ours!"

They cheered themselves up one after another while drinking, which made Tong Guan more satisfied.

Tong Guan ordered, "For the time being, just defend according to your arrangement, and then arrange after you figure out the direction of the culprit's main attack. If there is any change in the military situation outside the city, you need to report it immediately. If someone is at this critical moment, still What kind of tricks are you playing, I will definitely punish you severely."

"My subordinate understands!"

All the Jiedu envoys clasped their fists to accept the order, and after the show ended, they stood in the commander's account hesitantly and did not leave.

Tong Guan asked, "What else do you have?"

The Jiedu envoys showed bitterness and said, "Commander, now that the enemy is facing the enemy, it is time to cheer up the morale of the army. But we have not paid the soldiers for two months. Please be sympathetic to the military situation and give The soldiers pay their salaries to encourage the morale of the soldiers, so that they can work hard for the commander and the court!"

"Want money?"

With dissatisfaction in Tong Guan's eyes, he knew what small plans these generals were planning.

He comforted everyone, "Go ahead first, I will discuss it with Taiwei Gao, and I will send you the military salary immediately. Don't worry, you will never be disappointed this time."

"That's fine!"

"Then I'll leave first!"

"You are handsome and wise!"

A group of Jiedu envoys resigned excitedly, came out together and left handsomely.

Gao Qiu sent them away, closed the door, and complained with Tong Guan, "Why did the envoy agree to them? These warriors ask for money before they have fought. How can there be such a good thing in this world?"

Tong Guan scolded with a cold face, "You still have the face to speak, even the little King of Jinling can't handle it, what use is this envoy to you?"

Gao Qiu immediately reported with a bitter face, "The Envoy didn't know something, the King of Jinling called all the family members of the other princes' houses and organized an army to fight against us. Under the strong attack of our forbidden army, we were killed. It’s not a small loss. Without tens of thousands of soldiers, the Jinling Palace cannot be taken down. I also ask the commander-in-chief to order the imperial army to be dispatched immediately, and let the humble officials lead the army to completely wipe out the Jinling Palace.”

Tong Guan shook his head, sighed and said, "It's too late, I just received the secret report. The King of Jinling and other people have already deposited all the family's private property in the Shenlong bank account yesterday, and we have already missed the opportunity. "

"what?"

Gao Qiu was surprised, "Then Shenlong Bank has brought all its business to Jinling City?"

Tong Guan nodded and said, "I won't mention this matter, you go and tidy up your things. Let's tidy up and get ready to go back to the capital!"

Gao Qiu was dumbfounded and said, "Envoy, why is this? Let's go back now, that's courting death? Let's not talk about others, it's about Jinling City. If we report it to His Majesty, we will all be able to escape the guilt!"

Tong Guan squinted at him and said, "Who and you are us? The matter of Jinling City, but the envoy asked you to do it?"

Gao Qiu froze for a moment, shook his head hastily and said, "No, it's not!"

Tong Guan snorted softly, "All of this is all up to you, what does it have to do with this emissary?"

Gao Qiu groaned in his heart, knowing that Tong Guan took him as a scapegoat.

He didn't have the capital to turn against Tong Guan for the time being, and Zhihao bit the bullet and admitted, "Yes, yes, everything is self-assessed by a humble official, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the privy envoy."

Tong Guan said with satisfaction, "It's good that you know it, and it's not in vain to promote you. The war is difficult, and these military envoys fight openly and secretly, and they are not a great weapon. In the end, Jinling City will not be able to hold it. We have to give ourselves Consider the way out, and take advantage of the present, if you can save us some belongings, save some!"

Gao Qiu stared at him, sweating on his head, "What does Enshi mean?"

Tong Guandao, "The people in Jinling City are as wealthy as Qiantang and Gusu. Now is the time to fight the enemy, you should also lead people to let the people contribute a little bit."
