Speaking of choice, it is the root of Wang Yong's distress, now, there are not many options in front of him, one is to send troops to rescue Gao Shun at any cost, but nearly two days have passed, is it too late to send troops now?

It's okay if you have time, well, it's not good, how to say it, even if it's in time, it's lucky to successfully rescue Gao Shun back, but the price to pay is definitely not small, and there is even the possibility of the whole army being wiped out, at that time, Guangyuan City is really finished, and any enemy army can easily break the city, which can be described as a stupid thing with all kinds of harm and no benefit.

The second choice is to pretend to be deaf and dumb according to Wang Yong's thoughts, as if this incident had never happened, let Gao Shun fend for himself, he is still his own city lord, with the current strength of Guangyuan City, it is impossible for the enemy to easily break the city, at least he can hold on for a while, and during this time, he can send people to Anping County for help, as long as the soldiers and horses of Anping County arrive, Guangyuan County will be saved, and it is even possible to defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop and drive back to the Dongsheng Empire, in that way, he can be regarded as a great meritorious service, of course, These are all under the premise that Prince Dugufeng is no longer resurrected, if Dugufeng comes back to life again, Wang Yong knows that neither he nor other officials and generals in the city will have a good end.

There is another option, that is, to completely solve the trouble of Dugu Feng, anyway, the poisoning of Dugu Feng is well known, even if he poisons Dugu Feng again and makes him completely hang up others, it is not much worse, but as a courtier, the crime of murdering the prince of the royal family is too terrifying, it is a big crime that will harm the nine clans, once he does it, there is no turning back. Moreover, the number of people who know about this matter is large, and once the news is leaked, the consequences are unimaginable.

Now, Wang Yong no longer thinks about Gao Shun's life or death, he doesn't care, what he cares about is how to deal with Dugufeng, a guy who can't die if he dies, kill or not, Wang Yong is difficult to choose for a while.

I don't know how long it took, Wang Yong still couldn't make up his mind, his head was full of all kinds of ideas, the more he thought about it, the more difficult it became, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

Out of the room, Wang Yong took a deep breath of cool air, felt a little clearer, looked at Dugufeng's room, and beckoned the servant to ask, "That, how is His Royal Highness King Qin?" ”

The servant was asked inexplicably, Prince Dugufeng has been dead for a long time, what else can he do? Although he didn't know why the lord of the castle asked this, the servant replied honestly, "Everything is normal. ”

Wang Yong nodded slightly, and instructed: "Remember, if His Royal Highness the Prince wakes up, he must serve him well, notify me as soon as possible, and definitely not let His Highness go out and run around, understand?" ”

The servant's eyes widened in horror, he swallowed his saliva and nodded, "Yes, Lord of the City." ”

When the servant watched Wang Yong walk away, turned around and looked at the room where Dugu Feng was again, somehow, his heart was hairy, a cold wind blew, the servant shuddered, cautiously walked to the door, looked at the motionless corpse lying on the bed, and couldn't help but shudder when he remembered Wang Yong's words just now.

As soon as Wang Yong left the City Lord's Mansion and was about to go to a few colleagues with good relationships to discuss how to choose, there was a rush of footsteps behind him, and then, a panicked voice came: "Lord City Lord, it's not good, the army of the Eastern Sage Empire is here again." ”

Wang Yong stopped, glanced back at the panicked city guard officer, frowned and said, "What a panic, calm down, come here, it's not the first time." ”

The officer wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and ran to Wang Yong's side, lowered his voice and said, "City Lord, this time is different, they have a lot of people here, it seems that the people who came are not good, what should we do?" ”

Wang Yong was shocked when he heard this: "You made it clear, what's going on?" What does it mean to be a bad comer? ”

The officer calmed down his emotions and said: "That's the case, just now Tanma came back to report, and three enemy forces were found in the northwest direction, the fastest of them was the Taiji Legion that had been here several times before, and their speed was the fastest, and it was less than half a day's journey from our Guangyuan City." ”

Wang Yong asked anxiously, "What about the other two enemy armies?" How many people are there? How far is it going? ”

The officer was worried: "The other two groups of enemy troops are not very far, at most they can be reached in half a day, of which the northernmost one is about more than 10,000 cavalry, and the enemy army in the middle should have 30,000 to 50,000 people, all of them are infantry, and they also carry a lot of baggage, and they have also found a lot of large siege equipment, it seems that they are planning to attack the city." ”

Wang Yong was shocked, there were so many people, and there were siege equipment, just because the more than 10,000 defenders in the city could resist him, he was not sure at all: "What about General Gao Shun?" Is there any news of General Gao Shun, General Pang Ying, and General Ling Hu? ”

The officer shook his head dejectedly: "No, Lord City, what should we do, you give me a word, it won't be long before they arrive, and it will be too late then." ”

Wang Yong was in an extremely bad mood, and said coldly: "What's too late? Do you want to run away without a fight? ”

The officer was stunned for a moment, in his mind, such a strong enemy is not something that his city guards can stop, it was okay before, there was an elite army of His Royal Highness King Qin in charge, now the three legions are all missing, and the three generals are even more auspicious, now the best choice is to evacuate Qin Juan before the enemy arrives, or directly find an excuse to retreat the whole army, instead of being stupid to stay here and die in vain, but these can't be said on the table, and then listening to Wang Yong's tone, although the officer is not angry, But he still shook his head and denied it: "No, Lord City, how can the last general retreat without a fight, I mean should we send someone to Anping County to ask for help?" The last general is not talented, and he is willing to take on this heavy responsibility. ”

Wang Yong rolled his eyes and asked for help? Did it work? It will take at least two days to get from Guangyuan City to Anping County, if you think about it, Anping County will send troops to support, transfer troops, and march, it will take at least ten days, and when they arrive, Guangyuan County will have already changed hands.

At this time, Wang Yong lamented again and again, Wang Yong had not put forward such an idea before, but Dugu Feng, who was full of confidence, categorically vetoed it, Dugu Feng died and came back to life in the past few days, Wang Yong did not dare to call the shots, and he was even more worried that he would be punished by the empire and did not even dare to report the poisoning of Dugu Feng, so Anping County did not know anything about what happened here.

Wang Yong stomped his feet fiercely, first instructed the servants around him to inform the officials and officers in the city to come to discuss the matter quickly, and then dragged the officers who delivered the letter back to the city lord's mansion.

In the council hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Wang Yong had just waved off the servant, and the officer hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, what are you saying, what are we going to do?" Time is running out, and it's too late if you don't leave. ”
