Quick Transmigration: The host wants to die

Chapter 819
Chapter 819
News of the defeat came from the border city one after another, the army of the Northern Cold was in a state of invincibility, and the hearts of the people in the South were shaken and panicked.

There were people coming and going on the street, and the people looked terrified.

"Why are you still selling vegetables here, you stupid woman, hurry home with me."

"What's the matter?"

"Go home first, go home first, quickly pick up the vegetable basket and go back first."

"Have you heard that Yucheng was defeated! Last night, Beihan's army rushed into Yucheng!"

"What! Where did you hear the news?"

"The news I just heard will soon spread throughout the southern country. Yucheng is less than a hundred miles away from us. What should we do!"

"It's dead, it's dead."

"Let's hide at home first. My relatives who escaped from the disaster said that as long as they hide at home and don't come out, the people in Beihan will not kill ordinary people, and they will not even kill our southern soldiers who surrendered."

"Is what you said true?"

"I've heard it too, as long as you hide at home and don't come out."

"Go home first, hide first, who knows when Beihan's people will call..."

"You have no way to be foolish. I heard that the soldiers went to the battlefield when they didn't even have enough to eat. How could they be undefeated?"

"I heard that the emperor held a banquet for half a month and married the daughter of the minister. The wine in the palace smelled of wine and meat, but the city was full of corpses." A somewhat educated man in a jacket cried.

"Fun Lord, provoked Beihan and brought disaster to the southern kingdom."

"Such a person should die in Beihan! What is he doing when he comes back?"

"He is an ominous person! After he came back, many princes died unexpectedly, and now the Southern Kingdom has also been defeated one after another. He wants to kill everyone."

"Don't say it, don't say it, be careful to be spread, it will kill your head."

"It's okay to kill my head, let's kill it, anyway, Beihan's people are going to beat me, and I will be dead at that time, why can't I scold this stupid king before I die!"

I just heard the news that Yucheng was breached, maybe because the imperial court has continuously collected taxes in the past few months, the people began to insult the person in the seat angrily in fear.

Gradually, scolding was everywhere.

Before, people only dared to sigh, but now they have turned into angry curses.

……

In Yucheng, several large holes were broken in the city gate, which were the traces left when Beihan's army broke through the city.

In the city, there are many corpses of soldiers from the Southern Kingdom, ruined walls and ruins.

General Chen Dan, in armor and riding a horse, patrolled the city.

"Clean up the battlefield."

"Yes."

"Please count the common people to see if there are soldiers disguised as common people and hiding."

People and soldiers are placed separately.

Chen Dan looked at the corpses on the ground, his expression was a bit complicated, dead people, there is no one who survives a war, but this is considered to be very few dead.

Many years ago, there was friction between Beihan and another neighboring country, and they also fought for half a month. At that time, the corpses were really everywhere. There were not only the corpses of soldiers, but also the corpses of many innocent people on the ground. corpse.

Suddenly, a soldier came riding a fast horse in the distance.

"General, there is a letter!"

When Chen Dan heard the letter, he knew who sent it.

Chen Dan took the letter and opened it directly to read it. When he saw the deployment map of the Southern Kingdom, Chen Dan was shocked.

How did Lord Hou get such a thing!

It is true that the young master came to the Southern Kingdom as an envoy, but now he has mastered the rhythm of attacking the Southern Kingdom and made suggestions, and now he even got this kind of map!
This thing should be in the palace, in the hands of the Southern Emperor.

Lord Hou actually stole this kind of thing, and he stole the original drawing, didn't he repaint it...

Chen Dan always felt that it was too strange and too smooth.

Emperor of the Southern Kingdom...

In Chen Dan's impression, Nanzhi Jianjie was still the young boy he received a few years ago.

Sitting in the carriage dressed in dusty clothes, she was very thin and her complexion was a little yellow, obviously she had been mistreated.

Not very talkative, and was pestered by Lord Hou along the way.

But when the escort returned to Beihan Capital, the two of them had nothing to do with each other.

Chen Dan read the letter quickly, and Master Hou asked him to take down Nanguo as soon as possible.

He clenched the map in his hand and fell into deep thought, did Hou Ye and Nan Zhijian really have nothing to do with each other in the past few years?
Chen Dan put the map away and continued to inspect the city on horseback.

From a distance, Chen Dan seemed to have a place where cooking smoke was rising, and when he approached on horseback, he saw a shed where someone was cooking porridge.

A man dressed as a shopkeeper was ordering some waiters to cook porridge.

Chen Dan rode over with some doubts: "Who are you?"

The shopkeeper immediately stepped forward, and he took out a document from his pocket: "General, we are from the northern cold and doing business in the southern country."

Chen Dan took the document and looked at it carefully: "You are in the cloth business? Now that the city is in chaos, why are you cooking porridge here?"

The shopkeeper was a little hesitant, and finally knelt down and kowtowed and said: "General, although we are from Beihan, we have been doing business in the southern country for two or three years. We have affection for the city, and we are grateful to the general for not massacring the city. Hiding from last night until now, I dare not cook and eat, we want to make some porridge to send..."

A fellow also said: "Our Buzhuang has shops in many places in the southern country, and several defeated cities have also donated rice and porridge before. We have absolutely no malicious intentions. We just want to send some food to appease the frightened people."

The young general who followed Chen Dan stepped forward: "General Chen, there is indeed such a thing."

It is not uncommon for people to give alms after a war.

Generally, the people who donate are rich, big families, and some kind-hearted people.

I have also heard of this Cloth Shop Chen Dan, who is famous in the cloth business.

Chen Dan nodded and ignored it.

The rice porridge was thick and fragrant, but the people were so frightened that they hid like quails. The shopkeeper could only call the shop assistants to come to the door one by one with the porridge.

"Don't worry, they don't kill people, you see we are still alive."

"Hurry up and drink some hot porridge. It was cold and rained heavily last night."

"..."

……

The north is cold like a broken bamboo, the southern kingdom has been defeated one after another, and the hearts of the army and the people are in turmoil.

Bad news comes every morning.

Half a month ago, those people in the court hall were arguing over some things, but now no one has said anything, they are all waiting for the emperor to give an order, and the emperor will find a way.

After coming down to court, Ruan Xiaoli looked at Xiao Heqi who came to pick him up: "Heqi, did I fail as an emperor?"

Xiao Heqi shook his head: "No, you did a good job."

"They used to refute me about every little thing, but now they don't say anything, what's the use of the court supporting them."

"Don't worry about these things, and don't think about them when you're down."

"Xiao Heqi, I heard that the people outside the palace are scolding me, saying that I am a faint king and an ominous person, is it true?" She has always been strong but at this moment there are tears in her eyes.

Xiao Heqi felt as if a big stone had been pressed against his chest.

"They're all blind."
