Fast Traveling Underworld Wish Department

Chapter 438 Ant People 7
The war was about to break out, and the short-lived peace in Chong County was completely gone.The imperial army surrounded Chong County, waiting for the opportunity.

Yan Jian looked from the city, and saw the Wuyang Wuyang people outside the city. The soldiers and horses of the imperial court were all well-armed and well-armored. Just standing there was an aura that could not be ignored.Such elite soldiers and good generals, looking at the messy army under him, Yan Jian felt uneasy.

Could it be that I, Yan Jian, will die here today?
The leading general of the imperial court was an extraordinary young man named Li Ming.At this moment, Li Ming was standing under the city in armor and looking at the county seat of Chong County. Chong County is not a big county, and the city walls are not tall.

Li Ming's accompanying military adviser said with a smile: "The general's trip to suppress the rebellion, he will definitely be able to get the important task of the court, and the future is unlimited. I first wish the general a smooth official career and smooth sailing."

Li Ming said with a smile: "Sir, it's too early to talk about it. It won't be too late after I wipe out the rebellion."

"A mere villain, seeing the general and the heavenly soldiers, how can he not be frightened, the victory is close at hand."

"Haha, those who know me are also military. Let's go, let's rest first, and let these rebels know how powerful the court is after we have enough rest."

Li Ming asked his subordinates to rest in place, eat and drink enough, and didn't even need to set up a camp. In Li Ming's heart, as long as he started to attack the city, Chong County would be able to win a battle. If so, why is there any need to camp!

In fact, it is true, Yan Jian and the victims in the city are thinking so at the moment, the imperial army is coming, our lives will be gone.

The war has not yet started, and the morale in the city is extremely low, looking like they are waiting to die.Can the imperial court be defeated by a mob like them?That's definitely not the case.

"Brother, why don't we surrender, maybe we don't have to die if we surrender."

"Yeah, yeah, big brother, we didn't want to make trouble on our own. It's not because these corrupt officials don't care about our life or death, it's just a last resort. The emperor will surely forgive us."

Yan Jian said angrily: "You guys are afraid of death. Why weren't you afraid when you did this? Now I'm afraid of death. I tell you that it's too late. You think the imperial court will pardon you. You're dreaming! The rebellion is to punish you. Nine clans."

Yan Jian was suffering in his heart because he wanted to survive, and he felt that what he did was right.It's just that he didn't expect the imperial court to come so quickly and surrounded him inside, unable to even run away.Besides, to surrender, anyone can surrender, but he cannot, and he will die if he surrenders.

Yan Jian asked Lu's father, "Sir, is there a way to help me out of danger?"

Yes, Yan Jian's request was as simple as that, he didn't ask for defeating the enemy, nor did he ask for Yang Wei, he just wanted to be able to escape.The tone in which he asked Father Lu for advice carried a fear that he hadn't even realized. Don't be afraid, Yan Jian looked at Father Lu earnestly.

Father Lu thought about the knowledge he had learned from the books, and said: "The only plan for now is to stick to it. When the court finds out that the war cannot be fought for a long time, it will definitely send people to negotiate a peace. At that time, it will be our chance to survive."

This is the solution Father Lu came up with after careful consideration. In the current situation, there is no better way than to find a way to obtain an amnesty from the imperial court.Besides, if their plan is successful, Father Lu feels that they can still occupy a place in the imperial court.

Maybe the imperial court will be prejudiced against them, so we can plan it when the time comes, and focus on the things in front of us first.

Yan Jian said: "Okay, just do what you say, let's fight a war first, and let the court negotiate a peace with us. Does anyone have any opinions?"

Several people present shook their heads. Originally, they didn't know whether surrendering would lead to amnesty, but Mr.'s method has a high chance of obtaining amnesty. Of course, they must follow Mr.'s method.

Yan Jian made a final decision, "That's it. Yan Bai, Yan Ren, Yan Yi, you all go to help defend the city, Yan Qing, Yan Luo, you lead people to patrol the city, don't let people come out to make trouble."

"Yes," several people retreated.

Yan Jian sincerely said to Lu's father: "Sir, I have entrusted you with my wealth and life, please be very careful, sir."

Lu's father said: "The leader treats me so sincerely, how can I not repay it. Don't worry, I will do my best."

After making a plan, the rest of Lu's father can't help, and the defense of the city depends entirely on Yan Jian and his group.Father Lu walked back with small square steps, thinking about the peace negotiation in his mind, and when the imperial court sent someone over, what exactly would they ask for?

After Lu's father thought about it, a smile appeared on his face, and he looked very complacent.Lu's mother and Lu Tanwei also knew about the siege by the imperial army. Seeing Lu's father smiling all over his face, they both wondered secretly. Could it be that the situation has improved?

Lu's mother trusted Lu's father in all aspects, and she only felt that her heart had settled down. She was chanting Buddha in her mouth and was going to burn another stick of incense.

Lu Tanwei asked, "Father, how is the situation outside?"

Original body wanted the Lu family to survive, so Lu Tanwei had to be more cautious. From her point of view, the outside situation didn't seem to be getting better.

Father Lu loves this one flesh and blood very much, and he doesn't stick to any pedantic style. He said bluntly: "Don't worry, as long as the leaders and the others guard the city, nothing will happen."

Lu Tanwei heard something wrong in this sentence, what does it mean that as long as the city is defended, nothing will happen?This means that the premise that nothing will happen, the city has to be defended, but what if it fails?

"What's father's plan?" Lu Tanwei looked at father Lu, she knew that her father must have given the idea when such a big matter was involved.

Father Lu stroked his beard and smiled: "I don't have any plans, it's just picking people's teeth. Throughout the ages, wars are all for profit. As long as we can hold this place firmly, the imperial court will definitely give up and negotiate instead. , I will have a chance to survive."

Lu Tanwei: "."

She thought about the examples from ancient times, and it seemed that there were no examples that could be brought into the present.The most important thing is that those who negotiated peace with the rebels were all under the circumstances that the court was weak.Under normal circumstances, those emperors would rather negotiate peace with foreign countries than with local rebel forces.

It's probably related to the face of those emperors, anyway, this comparison of father is very wrong!

Furthermore, although Lu Tanwei has never traveled far, it can be seen from some documents in Chong County that the current imperial court is not out of weakness, and there is no chance of even a [-]% chance to negotiate a peace.

But seeing Lu's father's complacency, Lu Tanwei had no choice but to persuade him tactfully.She said: "Dad, what if we can't defend it? When the city is broken, we will all invade and be beheaded."

Father Lu was taken aback for a moment. He subconsciously didn't think about the consequences of failure, because that was something none of them could bear.But now, the daughter put the situation in front of him nakedly.Yes, what if you can't keep it?

Father Lu decided to go to the city wall to take a look and help with advice if necessary.He comforted his wife and daughter with a smile on his face, "We won't be able to hold on. We have many people and we have the support of the people. Victory will definitely belong to us."

After speaking, he left in a hurry, wanting to check the situation.Lu Tanwei also followed behind. She doesn't trust anyone now, even her own father, who she always thought was very reliable, now looks like a trap.Relying on others is worse than relying on oneself, and Lu Tanwei hastily followed in Lu's father's footsteps.

Father Lu was in a hurry to go up to the city wall and didn't bother to argue with Lu Tanwei.Moreover, Father Lu also felt that his daughter was extremely smart and might be able to give some advice.As for etiquette, nonsense etiquette, Father Lu doesn't abide by it at all.
