When Sun Chuanting was questioned by Li Dewei, he didn't say a word, his face was full of loneliness. The guards at the side saw him like this, and shouted angrily: "Li Dewei..."

Li Dewei looked at him coldly at this moment, glared at the guards and shouted: "Do you want to die here with Daming?"

The guards were so stared at by Li Dewei that they couldn't say a word. It's true that they are Sun Chuanting's personal guards, and it's true that they have a different status in the Qin army. Even Sun Chuanting had to look highly on Li Dewei, the defender of the old Qin camp, and be courteous, and he had to ask for his opinion before doing anything.

This is all related to Lantian standing behind the old Qin camp. The Qin army has today's elite, and it cannot be separated from Lantian. Just like what Li Dewei said, these people eat and drink from the county, and spend their lives in the county. Dear, it would be unreasonable to still scold the county magistrate at that time, it would be shameless.

The guards were reprimanded and retreated, Sun Chuanting sighed and looked at Li Dewei and said, "Come with me."

Li Dewei didn't answer, but just followed Sun Chuanting. Sun Chuanting passed the corridor in Xin'an County at this time, and saw wounded soldiers who had come down from the battlefield everywhere on both sides of the street. Some had broken arms and legs, and they all looked miserable.

At this time, everyone held the hot porridge with thin soup and little water in their hands, and sipped it. Watching Sun Chuanting approaching, each wounded soldier struggled to stand up: "Master Supervisor!"

Sun Chuanting looked at every soldier present, with a look of shame on his face, they are all heroes of Ming Dynasty, they once shed blood for Daming, made meritorious deeds for Ming Dynasty, but today they can only defend the isolated city, without reinforcements or rescue , there is only one cold city. Although there is still food, it can't last long.

Moreover, the intruder was clearly determined to break the Qin army. The attack command became more intense and more terrifying each time. This was the eighth time. The city had run out of gunpowder, ammunition and food, so what can it do!
Is it true that this city full of soldiers will be buried with this lonely city?
He used to think that it was worth dying for Ming Dynasty, but now Sun Chuanting has wavered, he is dedicated to serving the country, but Henan's 23 soldiers and horses are all watching the excitement from the wall, who really cares about his own life and death.

Daming is already rotten to the bone, there is no need to save such a Daming.

But I have been eating the king's salary for more than [-] years, but I can't let Daming down. Thinking of Sun Chuanting, he sighed and said: "The soldiers are so lucky, they shouldn't be buried under this lonely city."

Li Dewei said from the side: "The Qin army is good, and those soldiers from Hubei are also good."

After hearing this, Sun Chuanting sighed and said, "For such a long time, I have never asked you about your life. Can you tell me the truth today? Who are you, Li Chaosheng?"

After hearing this, Li Dewei thought for a while and said: "According to seniority, the county lord is my uncle, and my grandfather and the county lord uncle Li Jinli are cousins."

Hearing this, Sun Chuanting smiled wryly and said: "I should have known a long time ago that the typesetting of your old Li's family is under the word of virtue. Li Chaosheng is willing to send his nephew to be my deputy. It is rare that he thinks highly of this old man."

Li Dewei heard the words and said: "The county lord is still very optimistic about your lord, so if you can't do something, don't go your own way. If Daming is not a good place, can Lantian open the door to welcome you?"

Sun Chuanting waved his hands when he heard the words: "How can you live up to the emperor's kindness for the salary of eating the emperor for [-] years, and there is no one who has been supporting the emperor for [-] years, and there is no one who died for the country. If so, wouldn't it be sad?"

"grown ups."

Sun Chuanting raised his hand to stop Li Dewei's next words, and came to the small courtyard where he lived and said, "You wait in front of the door, I need to be quiet."

As Sun Chuanting said, he pushed open the gate of the small courtyard, and there was an old servant inside who was chopping firewood. Seeing Sun Chuanting's return, he quickly went up to him and said, "Master, you are back."

Sun Chuanting looked at the old servant and nodded, "Bring me my new cape, the old one is rotten."

"Ah, the master wants to meet the enemy himself?"

Sun Chuanting smiled and said: "I am an official of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally I have to meet the enemy in person, so you can fetch it."

"Yes."

After the old servant left, Sun Chuanting returned to his study, and saw the five neat imperial edicts on the table.

With a wry smile, he said: "Your Majesty, Daming has been corrupted to such an extent that I am powerless to return to heaven. My Sun Chuanting died for the sake of the country, but the Qin army in the city shouldn't. They fought for Daming for half their lives, so they shouldn't die under the city of Xin'an. Daming is The Great Ming with tens of thousands of people is not my Qin army alone. The thieves surrounded me, trapped me, and attacked me. I asked for help from the 23 Ming troops around me, but no one answered. Want to be on the sidelines."

"Although I was appointed as the governor of Henan, I can't move a single soldier except my Qin army. This world cannot be supported by my Qin army alone, nor can I be entrapped by my Qin army alone. My Qin army is now More than half of the casualties, ammunition and food are exhausted, and there is no power to recover, and it will be futile to continue."

"My heart is dead, but Qin's army can't all die in this city of Xin'an. It's not fair. It's not fair. I have served the army for 23 years, and I have been stationed for the country for eight years. I have experienced no less than a hundred battles. I have meritorious deeds, and I have a clear conscience, but if Qin Jun were to die under the city of Xin’an today, I would feel ashamed, and I couldn’t bear it!”

"So, Your Majesty, Sun Chuanting can die, but Qin Jun can't. I want to keep this fire. They are all heroes. As for me, I will let the intruder be torn apart."

As Sun Chuanting said, he kowtowed to the imperial decree, raised his head, and Sun Chuanting said with sharp eyes: "I, Sun Chuanting, am not afraid of fighting, but only of people's hearts. Your Majesty ordered my ministers to fight against the trespassers. If you dare not disobey, you should die in battle. Thank you, the emperor!"

Sun Chuanting got up after saying that, unlike Yang Sichang who had a lot of things to say to Chongzhen, he didn't. All he wanted in his life was to have a clear conscience, and now he has done it.

Sun Chuanting pushed open the door, and the old servant had already brought his newly made red cloak. He said it was new, but in fact it was not that new. This cloak was made by Sun Chuanting on his way from Shandong to Datong. He was reluctant to change it, and always used his old one, saying that the old one had feelings, but now the tattered old cloak was really useless, so he changed to this new cloak.

"Put it on for me."

"Yes."

The old servant responded, and put on a new cloak for Sun Chuanting. After putting on a new cloak, Sun Chuanting was in high spirits. At this time, Sun Chuanting said: "Call Li Dewei."

"Yes."

The old servant went out, and soon Li Dewei came in. Seeing Sun Chuanting, he was taken aback because he found that Sun Chuanting's spirit was different from the beginning. Li Dewei looked at Sun Chuanting in surprise, and Sun Chuanting said with a smile: "Li Dewei, Tell me, the general, that the Qin army will obey as a whole. From now on, open the gate of Xin'an, and the soldiers of the Qin army can leave at will. I will not ask you where to go. From now on, I, Sun Chuanting, have nothing to do..."

"Ah, Master Sun!"

"Go!"

Sun Chuanting sighed and waved his hands, Li Dewei wanted to say something else, but Sun Chuanting didn't want to speak anymore, Li Dewei took a deep look at Sun Chuanting, then clasped his fists and said, "I thank you for your life on behalf of Qin Jun. "

"You were able to live, but I have been blocking your way to survive. If you say this, I am sorry for you. Don't say so much, you go on your own."

After hearing this, Li Dewei sighed, and just turned around to the door, Sun Chuanting shouted: "Wait a minute!"

Li Dewei stood on the steps and half turned around to look at Sun Chuanting. Sun Chuanting sighed and said, "Tell your county officials to treat the Qin army better. They are all good men of the Ming Dynasty. Don't belittle them."

Li Dewei frowned, opened his mouth, finally sighed, turned around and bowed his hands: "Dare not to obey."

After finishing speaking, he went out, and soon Sun Chuanting's order spread to the army. In an instant, the whole army was boiling. Countless people were happy for Sun Chuanting's order, especially the soldiers who were already extremely war-weary.

It is a normal state of mind that there is no way to be war-weary. Now Xin'an County is an isolated city, and they have blocked the intruders' attacks here for eight times, with more than half of the casualties, and the ordnance is basically exhausted. If they continue, they will use knives.

They can already imagine the tragedy that will follow. They don't want to be like this. They want to live, and they don't want to give their lives to Xin'an County. In fact, they are not afraid of death. Death has been seen for them. Meaning, in the whole of Henan's 23 troops, in the end they were the only Qin army that served the country.

The thieves had been besieging the city for seven days, and fought eight times. Sun Chuanting sent three distress letters in such a long time. In the first two letters, this group of people knew that they would have to face it, saying that their situation was not optimistic, and their military pay was insufficient.

Anyway, push three six five, just don't send troops, and watch the intruders wipe out themselves and others.

How desperate is it to be alone and helpless, you can only watch comrades around you fall down and never stand up again, and one is dead, one is missing, how many people can understand that kind of despair?

What's more frightening is that you never know if you will be the next one to fall, and the most frightening thing is that as long as you fall, no one will take care of you. What do you mean no one will take care of you?
That is to say, when you die, there is not even a person to clean up your tombstone. What is even more frightening is that the court you worked for will not recognize you, will not chase you down, and maybe your own life will not appear in the world. According to the palace newspaper of the imperial court, those who died were like ants, worthless.

A person's death is either heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather, and dying for the country should be heavier than Mount Tai, but in Daming, he is lighter than a feather!
What's the point of dying like this? Is it to protect the rich clothes and food in the homes of princes and ministers, or to solve the problem that my family can't eat.

The lives of us slaughtering men are worthless, but no matter how worthless they are, they are still lives. They are not used as stepping stones for you princes and ministers.

No one is a fool. When someone finds that their life is worthless, they will resolutely wear the war.

And the reason why he didn't run now is entirely because of Sun Chuanting's prestige here. If it weren't for the super charisma of this Superintendent Sun, who would want to leave his life in this city of Xin'an.

But now they couldn't sit still anymore, they felt that their death was too worthless, they had been suppressing their emotions, and when Sun Chuanting's military order was issued, all the soldiers' strained roots broke free.

At this moment, all the suppressed emotions were released.

The soldiers cheered, and the gentry and common people in the city were also secretly rejoicing. In fact, they were already frightened. When Li Chuang attacked the city, he shouted outside the city, saying that voluntary surrender would keep the city safe. If you are sensible, hurry up and beg Sun Chuanting to surrender.

The gentry went boldly at first, but when they saw Sun Chuanting, who was covered in blood and had a dark face, they all fled back in fright. When they heard that the soldiers in the city had given up resisting, they couldn't help but burst into tears. Orbital, finally, that stubborn Sun finally thought about it.

All right, great thing, let me know quickly, bring up all the treasures at home, and prepare to dedicate them to King Chuang, begging King Chuang not to kill him.

All of a sudden, the gentry told each other that as for ordinary people, it didn’t matter, they were just playthings of power, as long as they knew how to cooperate, it was the fate of ordinary people to accept it, and those who could change their fate against the sky were called protagonists.

Sun Chuanting listened carefully to the cheers in the city, and when he heard the suppressed laughter, Sun Chuanting's face became even more bitter. It seemed that he really did harm them!
I think these people will have a good place to go.

Sun Chuanting was thinking, when the old servant came over and said, "Master, have some tea."

Sun Chuanting looked at the old servant and said, "Sun Zhong, how long have you been with this old man?"

The old servant smiled and said, "Master, you forgot that I am the son of the Sun family. I will know the master for as many years as you are this year."

"Hey, 50 years."

Sun Chuanting sighed deeply, looked at the old servant and said, "There are 1000 taels of silver bills in the cabinet in the study. I don't need them any more. Take them and go to Lantian with the soldiers. There should be a good deal there." home."

"Ah, what about you, my lord?"

Sun Chuanting sighed and said, "I, the remnants of the old era, deserve to die in Xin'an City."

"Ah, sir!"

"Don't talk too much, let's go."

The old servant knelt on the ground and said, "No sir, I won't go, I won't go, my master will die for the country, and my servant will follow."

"Don't be silly, living is more important than anything else."

Sun Chuanting helped the old servant up, but the old servant was very stubborn and said: "Then why is the master not alive?"

Sun Chuanting: "I have eaten the king's salary for [-] years, Da Ming can't support me for nothing, I should be loyal to Da Ming!"

The old servant heard the words and said: "Master, after 20 years of Ming Dynasty's salary, he will die for the country. My grandson Zhong has been fed by the Sun family for 50 years. Shouldn't he be loyal to the Sun family? Master, I know you are a stubborn man!" Man, I can't persuade you to live, can't the master allow me to die with the master?"

"You...why bother..."

Sun Chuanting was at a loss for words for a while, and wept silently.
