I won the infinite survival game with a cloud at the beginning
Chapter 103: Daylight Clearing Soldiers 2
When she arrived at the gate of the government office, Su Qianqian saw people around her coming and going in a hurry, with no intention of stopping at all.
Although I don’t know what the entrance of the government office in ancient cities should have looked like, this situation is obviously not right.
Su Qianqian sat in the clouds and decided to go find the prefect of Nan'an City.
Searching for the tallest and most magnificent building along the way, it didn't take long for Su Qianqian to successfully find the prefect's study.
The prefect is currently discussing with his officials.
"Is the information accurate?"
The prefect was already anxious at this moment. His serious square face was full of worry, his brows were furrowed, and his tone was very stern.
The officials under him were even more generous, not daring to say a word, "My Lord, this is absolutely true, we must make plans early!"
The governor put his hands behind his back and paced slowly in the room, as if he was making an important decision.
When his subordinates saw the governor's expression, they added fuel to the fire. "Sir, we have already defended Nan'an City for ten days. There is no way we can defend it for another ten days. Please make plans early!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he knelt on the ground, and the others around him followed suit.
Now is not the time to show off one's loyalty. If a decision is not made soon, everyone will surely die.
The governor sighed, "Is there really no way out? Has the imperial court sent anyone to support us?"
The subordinate shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Sir, ten days ago, a large number of officials from the capital took their families south. Although it was said to be a relocation of the capital, everyone knew that they were fleeing!"
The people nearby couldn't help but speak up, "When they left, they took away a large number of elite soldiers and food crops. They have already abandoned us!"
Ten days ago, before the news of our army’s defeat came, they received an order from the court to close the city gates and not disturb the royal nobles’ southern tour.
I originally thought it was just an ordinary outing. Although the scale of the event was quite large, it was understandable.
The prefect was naturally ordered to guard the city gates tightly and not let the people go out, so as not to offend the nobles.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the royal tour, the governor of Nan'an City even dispatched a large number of soldiers to defend the city and open up a path for the army touring the south.
His Majesty was indeed very pleased and even wrote a letter personally to commend the prefect of Nan'an City.
Only ten days had passed, and the guards he had sent out had never returned. He even received terrible news that the imperial court had been defeated!
Although there were wars year after year, life was hard but we could still get by because we had to cede territory and pay indemnities frequently!
However, during the autumn harvest this year, the State of Hu suffered a drought that had not been seen in a century, and there was no sound of harvest.
Originally, the Hu Kingdom was located in a very cold area and relied on the weather for its livelihood. Now that it encountered a great disaster, the situation became even more serious.
At that time, the governor was still thinking of taking the opportunity to attack the Hu State and recover our lost territory.
Unexpectedly, the imperial court did nothing at all, but instead allowed the Hu Kingdom to gather troops and march straight south.
This war did not last long. Under the fierce offensive of the Hu State, the army was defeated one after another.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the imperial court immediately decided to move the capital.
After all, the capital was in the north, too close to the territory of the Hu State, and was easily harassed.
Just to avoid shaking the morale of the army, he used the excuse of the southern tour and went all the way south, preparing to find a city in the south to establish the capital.
Along the way, in order to ensure the dignity of the royal family, they kept the news strictly guarded, and it was not until now that they received the exact news.
"The Hu Kingdom burned, killed, looted and ravaged the capital. The entire city was destroyed!"
The subordinate's voice was so mournful and piercing that it brought the governor back to his senses.
For a long time, our dynasty has occupied a large area of fertile soil and abundant resources, while the Hu Kingdom has been trapped in a small corner. This time, they led their troops straight into the capital, burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of atrocities.
But the Hu Kingdom did not end there. According to news from the front, the Hu Kingdom was continuing to send troops south, as if it was determined to fight a decisive battle with our dynasty.
If it were just this, it would be fine. After the death of these officials, the people of Nan'an City could still live in peace.
However, the people of the Hu Kingdom were cruel by nature. They believed that they were completely different from the people of the Central Plains and refused to establish their capital here.
The once prosperous capital city has now been reduced to ruins, and none of the hundreds of thousands of people who remained in the capital city have been spared!
This tragic fact forced the prefect to make a decision early.
"Sir, please make a decision soon!"
The governor gritted his teeth and said, "Fight or surrender? I really can't come to a conclusion. It's a dead end anyway! But if we surrender, maybe we can leave a way out for the people!"
When the subordinates heard this, they immediately said, "In this case, we should leave as soon as possible!"
The Hu Kingdom marched southward with great force, and it was impossible to resist with the remaining military forces.
If the people of Nan'an City still have a glimmer of hope, then these officials have absolutely no chance of survival.
If we don't take this opportunity to leave here and hide our identities, there will be no chance of survival for our whole family.
Therefore, this was not only a proposal to the governor, but also a way for them to save the lives of their own family.
Although abandoning a city and fleeing will bring some stigma, compared with the risk to one's own life, external reputation is not worth mentioning at all.
Although there might be a chance of victory if the whole country were to fight the Hu Kingdom with all its might, it was a pity that the imperial court led the army south, taking away many soldiers defending the city along the way. There was no hope for the city of Nan'an anymore.
It is only a matter of time before the city falls. If they don't make plans early, they will have no hope at all when the Hu army arrives!
Since the prefect had made the decision, he immediately ordered his officials to gather his female relatives and descendants as quickly as possible, leave Nan'an City as quickly as possible, and head south, perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope.
When his subordinates heard the decision, they immediately took action.
The women in the family had already packed up their gold and silver jewelry and were ready to leave at any time. In order to ensure their safety, the prefect sent all the people in the mansion to secretly lead them away.
Also traveling with them were officials from Nan'an City. Although the city was not too big, it was very prosperous. It was an important city for the imperial court and had countless officials of all ranks.
Watching these people leave, Su Qianqian followed behind, wanting to take this opportunity to get away from this place of trouble.
Unfortunately, the game did not give any chance at all. When Su Qianqian was about to walk out of the city gate, she heard the system prompt sound.
[The player is leaving the game location, please return immediately. You will be killed after three reminders! ]
With the way out blocked, Su Qianqian could only look for a safe place to live in Nan'an City.
The Hu Kingdom is about to invade. According to the nature of the game, a smooth transfer of power is absolutely impossible. A fierce battle is about to break out!
