Sword God Wine Ancestor

Chapter 853 Retreat, leave
What a weird name!It's the farmer in the village!
Su Bai really did not guess wrong. These two guys were peasants in the village. Usually during the Chinese New Year, the village set up a big stage. After seeing what the robbers looked like on the stage, they thought the robbers were like that. This time Hearing that Shanzhou is going to be in chaos, these two guys are trying to get some money together, and they will never dare to hurt people. Of course, this is what the two of them confessed.

Seeing how cowardly the two of them are now, it seems that they really don't dare to hurt people's lives, but is that enough?The other party is robbery after all!Su Bai was thinking about how to deal with these two guys, but Xiao Wu said in a deep voice at this time: "Okay, from now on, farm the land honestly, if you dare to do this again, you will definitely not be spared!"

"Yes, yes, hero, hero, spare your life, thank you, hero, for your life!"

When Da Zhu and the second fool heard Xiao Wu's words, they were stunned for a moment, then they were overjoyed, kowtowed twice, and then scrambled and ran away.

Su Bai opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all. He knew that although the Wu Dynasty had laws, they were definitely not as detailed as before the crossing. Although the beheading was serious, it was still a lot worse in some small details. Yes, Xiao Wu was originally a headhunter. When encountering such a thing, he probably thought that these two guys were not a big problem, so he let them go directly.

Su Bai didn't take it too seriously, he shook his head, and everyone set off again, this Da Zhu and the second idiot were just a small episode on the way, but it made Su Bai more vigilant, it seems that he still can't take it lightly, after all, he didn't With his name engraved on his face, no one else knew who he was, and besides, he was not so well known that everyone knew him.

But since Su Bai was careful, the journey was safe and sound, and he didn't encounter any robbers, so he just walked out of Shanzhou. After leaving Shanzhou, other states and counties were much more stable, and the robbers did not dare to come so openly Robbery on the official road.

The speed of Su Bai and his party was a bit slow, and the court's heavy losses in the battle that night had already been quickly reported to the court, but before the court had time to respond, they were attacked again on the second night!
The same recipe, still the original taste...

Well!It was still the same way as before, this time even though Old General Ji had raised his vigilance and arranged a lot of patrols, it still didn't help. After the strong wind, there was thick fog, and then the enemy army was already in the camp. Many generals this time They are all in command, hoping to stabilize the morale of the army and not act rashly.

The effect is not bad, but because there are no people in sight, this one stabilized and became a living target, so we still had to fight back, and because there were many generals who made noises, the enemy naturally found the target, so the dead generals Also a lot more.

The dense fog came and went quickly, leaving behind only a large number of corpses, and very few enemy corpses. Seeing this situation, Old General Ji's face was gloomy, and the veins on his forehead continued to emerge. It was obvious that he was on the verge of eruption. What a pity here There is no object for him to vent at all. He hasn't lost his mind yet, and he can't lose his mind. That will only make the enemy more happy!
According to some statistics, tens of thousands of people were killed and injured by the imperial court again. Presumably, the emotions of the dead and the living were also very wrong. Some were almost on the verge of collapse, and deserters even appeared!
Old General Ji expanded the scope of his patrol, and just happened to catch two deserters back. Escaping from the battlefield is the most taboo to disturb the morale of the army!Without further ado, Old General Ji beheaded the two of them!This deserter can't open his mouth!

At the same time, he also knows that if this matter is not resolved, the overall collapse will only happen sooner or later, but now he doesn't even know how the enemy army did all this, and he doesn't have much time to investigate. If there is no good response, Then tomorrow night, if the enemy army will come to sneak attack again, it will be hard to say.

At the re-convened discussion meeting, all the generals were silent, while the second prince had a hesitant expression. Old General Ji glanced at the other party, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, what do you want to say?"

The second prince sighed and said: "Old general, let's retreat first and go back to the city. With the city wall in place, the opponent's tricks of strong wind and thick fog cannot be carried out, and the opponent cannot come to the city quietly. Sneak attack, old general, what do you think?"

The second prince's proposal is actually good. In this passive situation, it is the best choice to avoid the edge and retreat back to the city. So after the second prince finished speaking, the eyes of the other generals lit up, obviously agreeing with this proposal of.

However, Old General Ji remained silent. Speaking of which, the highest officer here is still Old General Ji. If the other party does not let go, then they will not be able to retreat.

Old General Ji was silent for a long time before sighing: "Okay, continue to investigate this matter tomorrow morning, if you don't find out the enemy's methods, this will be a serious problem after all, can you stay in the city for the rest of your life? If we can’t find out the reason yet, we can only go back to the city for a while, investigate in the morning, and withdraw in the afternoon if we can’t find out!”

The second prince was also very happy to hear what Old General Ji said. After all, he was really scared. He was lucky in this sneak attack. Although some enemy troops came to him, there was no major danger. How can you guarantee that his luck will be so good next time?Besides, the other party has been to the big camp twice, if the other party can find out where his real tent is, then he is really in danger.

In his opinion, if the enemy can successfully assassinate him, no matter how much he pays, it will be worth it!Unlike General Ji, the Second Prince knew very clearly that the person who attacked was definitely the person of the Eleventh Prince. Want to put him to death, after all, the opponent is fighting for the throne!
A general suddenly asked: "General, which city should we retreat to?"

Old General Ji narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Chang'an!"

Everyone didn't say anything, and they all went down to prepare. Although they said they were going to investigate all morning, everyone knew that it was impossible to find out the enemy's means from the current situation, so some generals had already started to prepare for the retreat. General Ji saw it, but didn't say anything.

The next day, at noon, the soldiers sent out still found nothing, so General Ji had no choice but to order the withdrawal of troops.

Chang'an City is a big city, but it is not a military fortress. The city wall is high enough and thick, but there are not many corresponding defensive facilities, so this place can only be used as a temporary place to avoid battle. If the enemy has enough troops to attack, then here Still dangerous.

The people of Chang'an City were dumbfounded when they saw the army that came suddenly. You must know that whether it was when the Eleven Princes first started to stand on their own, or when the two armies were fighting, Chang'an City has always been very stable and there is no army. Come here, what is the situation with such an army suddenly coming?Are you going to fight in Chang'an City?For a while, people in Chang'an City were panicked, and some even wanted to escape from the city.

Others didn't know, when the Fang family and the Qin family knew about the arrival of the imperial army, their faces changed. They thought of what Su Bai said, and they didn't care much at first. The imperial army is absolutely strong, how could they lose to ten A prince and those four thousand-year-old families, but now the imperial army has retreated!
In addition, Fang Ping knew about the assassination that night, and immediately guessed that the imperial army had no way to deal with it, so he withdrew to Chang'an City. In this way, everything is hard to say!

On the night when the army arrived, several backbones of the Fang family and the Qin family got together to discuss the countermeasures, and everyone's expressions were very solemn.

Seeing that no one spoke, Qin Junfeng, the eldest son of the Qin family, said: "Transfer! Transfer some of the family's property to other places, we also need to leave!"

Qin Mingye, the old man of the Qin family, frowned and said: "It doesn't have to be like this? Maybe the court is just resting temporarily. Could it be that the court is really defeated?"

It can be heard from his words that he does not believe that the imperial court will be defeated, or that he still holds a glimmer of hope, a glimmer of extravagant hope, that the imperial court will not be defeated. After all, he has lived in Chang'an City for most of his life. After leaving, even after leaving, he didn't know when he would come back. How did this make him leave?

The older a person is, the harder it is to leave his homeland!
Qin Junfeng's brothers and Fang Ping are different. They feel that as long as people are healthy and the funds are sufficient, they can make a comeback in other places, and they don't have any thoughts of leaving their homeland. As they said before, life is more important. They It's not that I won't leave Chang'an, it's not that time yet!
Now seems to be the time to leave. Although they haven't reached the desperate situation at the bottom of the city, they trust Su Bai. Everything Su Bai said seems to be slowly being realized. Rather than leaving at the bottom of the city, it is better to leave now. !After all, it was really desperate, and it was uncertain whether they would still be able to leave.

So Fang Ping said: "I agree with what elder brother said, let's leave early. Brother Su once said that the court is in danger this time. Our Chang'an City is not a strong fortress. Transfer the assets to the east, I let Junrong go to Zhejiang, but I didn't expect that we would go there so soon."

Fang Shouyi, the patriarch of the Fang family, also expressed some hesitation. Obviously, he had the same thoughts as Qin Mingye, and he didn't want to leave Chang'an City. He said under his shirt: "Well, you juniors leave first. Brother Qin and I will stay. Things still need to be taken care of, and some real estate title deeds cannot be realized quickly, so can they be discarded?"

Fang Ping immediately shook his head and said, "No way! Dad, how can you stay? If Chang'an City is destroyed, what will you do!"

Fang Shouyi chuckled and said, "So what if the city is broken? Will the Eleventh Prince still slaughter the city? Don't worry, people will be fine."

Qin Mingye also nodded and said: "Brother Fang is right, I also agree with this, you juniors leave, just go out and venture, we two old guys stay here and look after the house, maybe the court can keep it? Besides, if too many people leave at once, it will inevitably cause chaos, and I'm afraid they won't be allowed to leave! So if you want to leave, hurry up and leave tomorrow!"

Although Mr. Qin is a bit old, his mind is still very clear, and he is decisive enough. Fang Ping and Qin Junfeng listened to it, and felt that what the other party said made sense. After discussing for a long time, they still couldn't let the two old men leave , so the two of them could only be allowed to stay, while Fang Ping and a few sons of the Qin family took part of their assets to Zhejiang Province.

Early the next morning, the Fang family and the Qin family's convoy set off. They left very low-key. The young masters were mixed with the coachmen. Although the car was made of gold and silver, it didn't look expensive. The big oilcloth Blindfolded, loaded in a big carriage, like some worthless goods.

Chang'an City has not been sealed yet, and everyone knows what the Fang family and the Qin family do. It's always right for them to deliver goods, right?So the convoy left Chang'an very smoothly, took the official road, and rushed to Zhejiang.

It's just that this matter cannot be concealed after all. The young masters of the Fang family and the Qin family have left, and there seems to be less stuff in the house. After the two servants told the situation, others also noticed that something was wrong. Could it be that Chang'an City can't be defended?As a result, many people also began to flee, and a bustling city became depressed almost overnight.

In order to avoid panic and stabilize the situation, Chang'an City was still closed.

It was only a few days before Su Bai and his party left Chang'an City with the Fang family and the Qin family. However, because the two people's convoy was larger, the speed was much slower, so they wanted to catch up with Su Bai and his party. It's impossible, and they didn't deliberately chase after him. After all, Su Bai is here, so they can rest assured that when they get to Zhejiang, they will meet each other in the end.

It's just that Qin Junrong's mother and son didn't rush to Zhejiang Province directly, but went to Beijing with Su Bai and Xiaowu's family of three.

This journey, especially after meeting those two robbers earlier, made Su Bai feel that the world is not so safe. If Qin Junrong, mother and son plus a few coachmen went to Zhejiang Province like this, he would really Don't worry, after all, Qin Junrong doesn't know martial arts, not to mention encountering robbers, even if those drivers have any evil intentions on the road, Qin Junrong will be in danger!

So Su Bai suggested that Qin Junrong not be in a hurry to go to Zhejiang Province, but to go to Beijing with them first. Anyway, they don't live in Shangjing, but leave after picking up people. Besides, they don't know where to go now, maybe After receiving the person, he also went to Zhejiang Province with Qin Junrong.

In this way, Su Bai followed along the way, and he felt relieved. Besides, Zhezhou is indeed a good place. The war should not be over for a while, and it is good to live in seclusion there for a while.

After listening to Su Bai's words, Qin Junrong pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed. Obviously, she was also a little scared, worried that without Su Bai, there would be problems on the road.

So half a month later, the whole group came to Shangjing.
