Chapter 677: The overall situation is slightly settled
Chapter 681
In the mountains and barren forests, a group of people ran out of breath, looked back from time to time, and then looked up and continued on their way.
This group of people is Song Bokang and his party who escaped from Liangzhou City, in addition to Song Bokang's wife and daughter, there are also civil and military officials in Liangzhou City.
In fact, when he escaped from Liangzhou City, Song Bokang did not want to flee to one of the three cities of Jincheng, Wuwei, and Haojia, regroup, and take back the land he had lost.
The reason is that he is afraid that Liangzhou City is at the junction of Liangzhou and Jingzhou, and if he goes deep into the hinterland, he may be caught by Cheng Dalei's men. Then his fate will not be good......
So, between regrouping and escaping, Song Bokang still chose the latter.
The world is big, your life is at stake, if you lose your life, then there is nothing.
A group of people embarking on a fleeing road will naturally not be a pleasant thing. Trekking all the way through mountains and rivers, and worrying about chasing soldiers coming behind you.
Fear, hunger, sickness...... These are torturing Song Bokang's group of nobles. Even in a bitter cold place like Liangzhou, they are pampered, and they have suffered this kind of suffering. So I complained a lot along the way, complaining from time to time.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's ......" Lu Luo called a few times and said, "My subordinates really can't walk, let's take a rest." ”
Song Bokang was also exhausted, he looked around, and said, "It's okay, rest in place, and continue to hurry." ”
When everyone heard this, some fell to the ground directly, and you can imagine what kind of torture they suffered along the way.
Song Bokang sat on a big rock, and his mood was naturally not very comfortable. After bypassing the Sanshui Pass, they are now considered to have entered Jingzhou. The road ahead is still very long, and I don't know how much suffering I have to endure before I can reach Chang'an.
The thought of this made his mood even worse.
And returning to Chang'an does not mean that everything is over. After all, he lost Liangzhou, and when he will let himself go today, I am afraid that Cui Xiang will not forgive himself.
However, these things are not a big problem, and Song Bokang has already thought of a rhetoric. It is entirely possible to shift the blame for this defeat to someone else. Talk about how heroic he is, how cunning his enemies are, how stupid his companions are.
Before he became the king of Liangzhou, he also spent a lot of time in Chang'an City, and he was quite experienced in doing these things.
What really made him unhappy was this defeat.
Why did you lose Liangzhou City in a daze? Originally, I had a great chance to dominate Liangzhou......
After suffering so much along the way, the dignified King of Liangzhou was driven like a lost dog, and he didn't think about why he lost this battle.
Thinking about it, I still feel like I've done nothing wrong. Who would have thought that Cheng Dalei would attack Liangzhou City at night and break through the city gate. The city gate was breached, what could he do if he didn't escape, could he stretch his neck and let Cheng Dalei kill him......
Every choice is justified, and every step is not wrong, but why is it that every step is right, but it pushes itself to today's end?
This is one of the places that Song Bokang can't figure out.
Looking at the companions in front of them, they are all nobles from Liangzhou City, and most of them are supported by families. On weekdays, everyone is well-dressed and well-fed, but today they sigh and sigh, so spineless.
Song Bokang thought that if he was really wrong, he had misused these people. The children of the family have more resources, but they are so useless at the critical moment.
Song Bokang suddenly had an idea in his heart: Maybe such an empire should have ended a long time ago.
He didn't know it when he thought about it, and it wasn't long ago that someone thought about it here.
There was a sudden movement in the mountains and forests ahead, and a group of people were like frightened birds, and everyone showed a panicked look.
Shouldn't there be any jackals, tigers and leopards, everyone came here exhausted, did they make jackal food?
Luckily, or unfortunately, it was not the beasts that came, but the people.
A group of fierce and vicious men rushed out of the dense forest and surrounded Song Bokang and his party, just like the big bad wolf who saw the little white rabbit, showing a rude smile.
Song Bokang finally calmed down, arched his hand and said: "Heroes, you can take away all the money and silver you want, just don't hurt our lives." ”
A person rode a black horse apart from the crowd and walked in, colliding with Song Bokang's gaze. Song Bokang's face changed dramatically in an instant, pale as paper, and there was no trace of blood.
"Lord Song, long time no see. ”
Song Bokang's eyes were black, he fell to the ground on his back, and before he fell unconscious, he spit out three words in his mouth:
"Hundred miles. ”
......
Today's Liangzhou City is in ruins, but after a series of events, the current situation has finally been stabilized for the time being.
Gao Lishi and Xu Ling'er were picked up from Luoyu Village, and Gao Lishi began to deal with the affairs of Liangzhou City. At present, the existence value of Luoyuzhai is not great, it is better to give up directly, give full play to the ability of Gaolis, and let him help deal with some things.
Even Su Ying was brought from Toad City to Liangzhou City, using her ability to help do something. Intentionally or unintentionally, Cheng Dalei has already focused on Liangzhou City, after all, Toad City is too small, Shuofang City has not yet developed, in comparison, Liangzhou City is more suitable as the main base.
In this way, Su Ying has a little more energy, and she is usually raised like a canary, which is indeed a bit boring for her.
Even Fan Lihua helped to close some things, and it can be said that all the people who can be used by Cheng Dalei's subordinates have been used.
After centralizing everything, the disorganized things are mostly resolved.
He Shen appeased the residents of the city, and Cheng Dalei issued a strict order, and anyone who dared to harass civilians would be severely punished. And we will not spare those who take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. The city is patrolled by the security team every day, and under such strict orders, the mood of the civilians has been temporarily stabilized.
After that, He Shen went back to Shuofang City, where there were also many things to deal with, and he had to worry about others attacking Shuofang City.
Liu Bei handled military affairs, lowered the troops and let go of a group, leaving a group, and there were probably more than 10,000 poor children who were willing to stay.
These people have just been attached, and they are not yet Cheng Dalei's soldiers, and it will take some time to truly turn them into their own people.
In the past ten days, Cheng Dalei has been very busy, and only now can he finally take a breath.
Today, He Shen manages Shuofang City, Yang Guozhong manages Toad City, and Cheng Dalei Liu Bei and others sit in Liangzhou City.
What makes Cheng Dalei strange is that in the past ten days, there has been no movement at all in the three cities of Wuwei.
No army was raised, nor was there any man sent to make peace.
Cheng Dalei dispersed his troops, Qin Man guarded Toad City, Guan Yu guarded Shuofang City, and the remaining troops gathered in Liangzhou City.
Until now, if the three of them want to make trouble, Cheng Dalei doesn't need to worry too much.
