Chapter 280: Lu Gao Descends (I)
Although he is firmly guarding this city here, and he is constantly tugging with the Hu people, it is ridiculous to the end, and it is obviously not himself
There are many cities in Youzhou, but I am afraid that only this big city has not fallen into the hands of the Hu people.
After hearing that Youzhou City was annexed by the other party, Lu Gao knew that this was a lonely city.
"Are all the people in the city sent away?" Thinking of this, Lu Gao raised a hoarse voice and asked an official who was following him, it was this person who was responsible for contacting the Dacheng Dynasty, and it was most appropriate to ask this official.
"Dashuai, the last group of people, left by boat three days ago. The official said busily.
The last group of people left by boat three days ago?
In this way, there are only a few thousand people left in this city?
Lu Gao looked out of the city, and his thoughts couldn't help but go back to a long time ago.
At that time, Youzhou had just been invaded by the Hu people, half of the city was still in their hands, and many forces were still resisting the annexation of the Hu people.
As a descendant of the Lu family who governed Youzhou for several generations, Lu Gao was the envoy of Youzhou Jiedu of this generation, and his son succeeded his father and began to run the area after his father's death.
If it continues, give him a few more years, and this Youzhou will be unified and impregnable.
But at this time, Emperor Dacheng suddenly rose, and Wei Yue suddenly killed the emperor and ascended the throne, and the Dayan Dynasty suddenly came to Yanglu and suddenly collapsed.
The rebellion in the world turned from darkness to light, and the princes everywhere became self-reliant, and Lu Gao also established himself in Youzhou later.
During the last generations of emperors of Dayan, the various feudal towns went their own way.
With Da Yan here, the princes have a lot of scruples in their hearts, and Da Yan's official position also has some influence, and now once it is made public, the name is meaningless.
The chaos arose, and the small princes were merged by the big princes, and the big princes fought endlessly.
Even if he occupies one-third of Youzhou, he is still facing many crises, and later, he lost his reputation and relied on force to stabilize the chaos in Youzhou, and ushered in the invasion of the Hu people.
The King of Chu, who is now Emperor Dacheng's assistance, did not expect it in advance.
Lu Gao knew that Emperor Dacheng helped him, but he didn't want the Hu people to invade the south too early, but even so, he received this cultivation on the 1st.
Looking around, the lively city is now the same as the dead city, and Lu Gao's heart is not only sad, but more happy.
If it weren't for the ship sent by Emperor Dawei to pick up the surname Mang in the city, once the city was lost, the Hu people would be cruel, and the old and young would be spared?
Thinking of Wang Hongyi, who was enthroned as emperor in Jinling, Lu Gao couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I still had some ideas before, but now, the south and most of the Central Plains have all belonged to Emperor Dacheng, and the only person who can stand up to the Hu people in the world is Emperor Dacheng....It's just time to think about the way back.
"Dashuai, looking at the actions of the Hu people in the past two days, a large number of people have gathered again, and I am afraid that they will attack the city again. General Xu Zhong stood in armor, and at this time he also looked at Hu Ying below, and said with a solemn face.
After a lifetime of fighting, this can still be felt.
In fact, without Xu Zhong's reminder, Lu Gao noticed it, and said with a pout: "The counties of Youzhou have fallen into the hands of the Hu people one after another, and Jiu is still holding on here, I am afraid that in a few days, this is a lonely city." ”
Thinking of this, Shenggao coughed again and coughed dryly for a while.
"Dashuai, your body is important, let's go down and rest for a while. Seeing this, Xu Zhong said worriedly, you must know that at this time, Lu Gao is the backbone of the people in the city, and he has fallen, I am afraid that the city will be destroyed.
Lu Gao was silent for a while, and then nodded: "It's General Yi Yi here." Then he walked down the city.
The fighting outside began again, and by the time Lu Gao returned, a new round of temptation had begun.
Sitting in the carriage and looking at the empty streets of the city, Lu Gao already had some thoughts in his heart.
"Let's not go back to the house directly, go to Nancheng. Lugao said.
... "I don't know what the commander is for, as a subordinate, just listen to the order."
So the carriage lost its head and went down a street towards the southern city.
The cavalry that followed the Lugao carriage, although a little surprised, remained silent for the first day and followed closely.
Nancheng was originally the most wealthy area in this city, with green houses, wine shops, commercial houses, and shops abounding here.
At this point, the place was empty.
The crisp sound of horses' hooves and wheels as Lugao's carriage passed by was so clear on this empty street.
"Go to the Daifuku Building. Lugao said in the carriage.
Hearing the commander's order, everyone came to their senses.
Some time ago, there were still people who didn't know who lived in the Dafu Building in the south city, and the people in the city were evacuated one after another, and it was the envoy from the Dacheng Dynasty who surfaced.
This envoy is currently living in Dafu Building, looking at the meaning of the big handsome, it seems that he has some kind of plan?
Everyone was in doubt, and the speed of the carriage did not decrease, and it headed towards the target of the Dafu Building.
Dafu Building, originally a family of Youzhou children of the courtyard, covers a small area, built very delicate and elegant, from the gate, the first to the back, are built by famous craftsmen.
Later, it was given to the Lu family, and from Lu Gao's hands, it was given to others.
The person who was sent was Lord Liu of the Liu Dynasty from the Dawei Dynasty.
This Lord Liu, about twenty-five years old, is handsome and has a good conversation, and in several contacts with Lu Gao, he has a very good impression on Lu Gao.
Lu Gao was seriously ill before, and this person sent some urgently transferred medicines, and from this person's attitude, you can see the attitude of Emperor Liuwei towards himself.
Lu Gao was a little confused about this.
Emperor Dawei now owns the entire territory south of the Yangtze River, and now occupies most of the Central Plains, only a few short of completely occupying the Central Plains, Bing and the Yellow River.
It can be said that most of the essence of the world has been occupied, and the imperial seat has been worthy of its name.
With such a big strength and reputation, when he was in his heyday, he controlled half of Youzhou, and it is understandable to have this attitude, but now he is crumbling, and there are only a few cities, what does it mean?
"Dashuai, Dafu Building has arrived. As he was thinking, the carriage stopped.
Lu Gao stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the car, and someone outside had already helped him to let Lu Gao walk down.
"Marshal, did you go over to call the door?" someone dismounted and asked.
Lu Gao's face was a little flushed at this time, his hand covered his mouth, and he nodded his head, seeing this, this person immediately went up the steps and slammed the f-door.
It was just a moment of work, and there was news inside.
As soon as the door opened, a housekeeper walked out from inside, and when he saw the formation outside, he was stunned at first, and then he saw Lu Gao in the crowd, and immediately had a smile on his face.
"It turned out that the big handsome arrived, and I asked the big handsome to wait for a while, and the little one will go to my master!" he said, turned around and entered the mansion.
After a few more moments, footsteps rang out.
The middle door opened, and a young man walked out of the door, and saw the lice Lu smiling: "The foreign official has seen the handsome, and the handsome man is getting better?" "Thanks to the ginseng sent by Lord Liu, Lu is better." Lugao said.
"The weather is still cold, and the handsome man has nothing to do with entering the house. Liu Han led the way in front as he spoke.
Lu Gao walked on the road, looking at this man with a faint smile, his uneasy mood calmed down slightly, and now, this person Liao is so courteous, it is really a bad Lu family.
"Sir, please be seated. Walking into the hall, Liu Chao smiled and said, "Serve tea!"
Lu Gaocai took the tea, but saw Liu Chao put an object on the table.
"What is this?" asked Lu Gao, puzzled.
"This is the secret letter of the Hu people intercepted by our army, and the content on it, please watch it carefully. ”
Lu Gao was stunned, with a bad premonition, unfolded the secret letter on the table, just swept it, his face immediately turned red, and he coughed again.
",,Hu people want to meet here?"
"Exactly. Liu Chao saw that Lu Gao had read the letter and put it away again.
"Five days ago, in addition to this city, the last Hori in Youzhou fell, presumably the big man thought of it, now Youzhou, here is a lonely city, and the other cities have been captured by the Hu people. 4 "If the lonely city cannot be defended, only this city remains, how can it hold on? If we continue to stay, the Hu army will gather here, and I am afraid that I will not lose it even if I want to go." ”
After a pause, Liu Chao stood up, saluted to the south, and said: "The emperor is very concerned about this situation, and he specially sent a decree to me with a quick transmission of thousands of miles, asking the marshal to make a decision as soon as possible, and not to burn the jade." ”
When Lu Gao heard this, his face changed slightly, he pondered for a while, and sighed: "That's it, the emperor cares about me like this, how dare you not obey? ”
As he spoke, he got up and knelt down to the south three times and kowtowed.
Liu Chao was overjoyed when he saw it, and he didn't stop it, and after giving the great courtesy of the monarch and the minister, he stepped forward and bowed: "The lower official greets the marshal...... It's best that the handsome can be citong. ”
"Before the lower official came to Youzhou, His Majesty repeatedly explained, so that the lower official must take care of the marshal to leave, and now the marshal's family has been sent to Jinling, and the people in the city have been transferred out, and the marshal can leave with His Majesty, it is really good, the lower official went back, saw the emperor, and could have an explanation. ”
Originally, they didn't plan to live and die with this city, they were ready to leave the ship, and the matter was ready, and they only had to say to Lu Gao once at the end, if Lu Gao was willing to leave with them, it would be best, if he refused, he would do his best, and he didn't want Lu Gao to come in person, and this thing was done.
Thinking of this, Liu Chao said: "Since the commander has the heart to leave, the sooner the better, the emperor's two fleets are gathered here, although the rest of the marshal has 10,000 people, they can also move together, and please go back to the six marshals, and immediately prepare to send out a signal one by one, and I will dock tonight." ”
Lu Gao knew that the situation was not optimistic, so he responded.
After a while, leaving Dafu Building, Lu Gao sat in the carriage, and as the carriage shook, his expression became in a trance, and he couldn't say anything, and he always felt that something was missing.
However, as Liu Chao said, his family members have already been sent to Jinling, and continuing to stay here is nothing more than refusing to abandon the family business.
But now, there is no way to recover, and if you don't leave, you can only wait here to die.
For the sake of an empty city, it is not worth sticking here.
Emperor Dacheng has always had a reputation for giving preferential treatment to generals, and going to the south is not a bad result.
Thinking of this, Lu Gao sighed, so be it, once you have made your decision, don't regret it anymore
