Chapter 213: Offering the City

"Don't come to me if there is no such thing as the sky and the earth is falling." Sun Yu closed the door and shouted through the courtyard wall. He had to come to me for everything. Are you not a white-collar worker's salary?

"This, okay!" Xu Yi shook his head. It's urgent. It's a bit urgent. It's not urgent, it's not too urgent.

"Mr. I'm back. Come and sit down quickly. Are you hungry?" Ju Yao supported her with one hand and her stomach with the other. She was about to give birth, and she even started to struggle to stand.

"It's okay, sit down and say, don't be tired." Sun Yu helped Juyao sit on the swing. This was specially made by him when he found a craftsman. In the future, the child could also swing on it.

"Are you still going out?" Ju Yao touched Sun Yu's cheek, and ran for days, her face was so cracked by the wind.

"I won't go anywhere, just wait for the child to be born." He didn't believe it anymore, and there would be something big that would not be possible.

The spring rain fell for four days. The wounded barracks in Jiangling City received the help of alcohol. The serious injuries were not mentioned, and the recovery speed of minor injuries was much faster. In just four days, more than a thousand more soldiers were added to fight. Gao Jichong was not idle either, and he recruited two thousand young men to help defend the city. It would be no problem to block for a few more days.

Murong Yanzhao did not continue to lie in the tent today. I don’t know if it was because he slept too much or because the tent was too humid and uncomfortable. Anyway, he was standing on the platform and looking at Jiangling City.

Although Murong Yanzhao has not moved much these days, the people below have done some work, at least there are a lot more ladders.

"Siege the city!" Murong Yanzhao ordered that Jiangling City was too strong, and three cars were destroyed, and the city gate was still motionless. Four days passed, and the other party must have repaired it again. It was in vain to hit the door, and it still had to climb over the wall.

Murong Yanzhao personally supervised the battle. The Song army's offensive was extremely fierce. Gao Jichong even suspected that the other party had increased its troops and did not care about casualties at all. Before, the Song army had only lost more than 10,000 yuan in a row. Now it has only been half a day, at least more than 1,000 yuan. This attitude is enough to withdraw troops at night, and then three thousand yuan will go up.

As expected, the Song army attacked the city without regard to casualties for two consecutive days. Although it paid a huge price, it also brought great casualties to Gao Jichong, who was defending the city. Now there are less than three thousand people who can stand intact at the top of Jiangling City.

"General, letter from the south." After dark, Gao Jichong, who was exhausted both physically and mentally, just as soon as he returned to the mansion, the butler handed over a letter.

"If you don't leave, it will be too late." Gao Jichong shook his head. Zhang Wenbiao was really more determined than the sky and his life was thinner than the foil. He fought smoothly before, but when Yang Shifan took action, he was finished. The letter was sent by a spy he had planted in Nanchu. Zhang Wenbiao was already killed, and the entire Nanchu regime returned to the hands of the young Zhou Baoquan. If he didn't leave, when he stabilized, the road to Nanchu would not be able to go.

"The general, the other side of the waterway has been arranged. If you want to leave, you can leave at any time." The housekeeper naturally knew that Gao Jichong had a way out and could not place hope on the Song army retreating due to difficulties.

"Well, go and find the judge, Lord Sun, and I have something to tell him." Gao Jichong nodded. The judge of the Jiedushi Sun Guangxian was the number one surrendered faction in Nanping, but Gao Jichong didn't touch him, so he kept it for use.

Sun Guangxian has lived in infinite fear these days. He did not expect that Gao Jichong, who was young, would really dare to fight with the Song army and cause such great losses to the Song army. But now, the Song army does not care about casualties, and Jiangling City cannot be defended after all. The greater the casualties, the more uncontrollable it will become after entering the city.

The restless grandson

Guangxian, after receiving the notice from Gao Jichong, hurriedly left the house and didn't even have time to pack his clothes. Now, the one who is in charge of Jiangling City is the boy he had misunderstood before. If he had known that he would have called surrender all day long.

"The official has met the general." Sun Guangxian was very tactful. When he saw Gao Jichong in the door, he hurriedly saluted, for fear that he would catch the handle and kill him quickly.

"I am not eligible, Lord Sun, I am quite regretful now. I have not listened to the good words of my elders before, so I am in trouble today." Gao Jichong looked sad, as if he didn't know what to do.

"General, why did you say this?" Sun Guangxian of course understood the meaning, but he could not say this from his mouth. He had to say it from Gao Jichong to count it.

"Mr. Sun is unhappy because of the previous incident? Now Jiangling City is in danger, and I just want to ask for a way out for the whole city." Gao Jichong cursed in his heart, but he didn't even take his words.

"The general misunderstood his post because he didn't know the war on the city wall and thought that the Song army would withdraw soon." Sun Guangxian thought of his previous experience and couldn't help but feel disgusted with Gao Jichong. After saying that, he regretted that this kid could not be scruples.

"I was young and didn't know the general's general's general. Although I tried my best, the Song army would be invincible. Once the city was broken and the chaos entered the city, there would be a lot of people. I believe that Lord Sun would not bear to see this scene, so he would be willing to go to the enemy camp and discuss the matter of surrender?" Gao Jichong said the truth, and Sun Guangxian was a native of Jiangling, and his family was also a Jiangling clan. Even if he didn't do it for himself, he should leave for his family.

"What are the requirements of the general? The officials must know what they want to see the other party." Sun Guangxian gently twisted his beard. He should go there. After all, there are not many civil servants who are worthy of weight. The generals cannot handle this matter, otherwise they will most likely fight.

"At this point, as long as the Emperor of Song can save me from my crime, I can be a rich man." Gao Jichong knew that if he had not surrendered, with the lethality he caused to the Song army, it would be almost the same to kill the nine clans.

"Is the general sincere?" Sun Guangxian nodded. This request was quite low. But I don't know if the other party was willing to stop. After all, the Emperor of Song was the leader of this matter, and that person could be in Kaifeng.

"Of course I'm sincere." Gao Jichong was stunned. Could it be that this old guy could see it? It shouldn't be.

"This is not the sincerity, it is the sincerity." Sun Guangxian rubbed his fingers, his meaning was very clear, so he had to pay for the money. Otherwise, why would the head of the family give up the credit he was about to receive and stop to argue with you about surrendering.

"I will prepare now, Lord Sun will wait a moment." Gao Jichong was stunned. It was really unexpected. Over the years, his ancestors have hidden a lot of good things, and they can pick some and send them over.

Gao Jichong and his men picked up a few famous calligraphy and paintings, as well as some gadgets from the previous dynasty, and also packed a bunch of exquisite porcelain and jade, but there was no gold and silver. Gao Jichong was reluctant to give that thing.

"Mr. Sun, what do you think? These things are valuable and lightweight, and you can carry them alone." Gao Jichong pointed to the big box in front of him and said to Sun Guangxian.

"Don't worry, General, the subordinates will definitely live up to their mission." Sun Guangxian saw that there were not many of these things, but if they were taken to Kaifeng, they could exchange for tens of thousands of taels of silver. If they could be collected, it would be easy to wait until their prime.

"Okay, I'll arrange the staff now and send Lord Sun out of the city." Gao Jichong didn't feel that he didn't think so.

Wrong, these things are not easy to be cashed in when they are left here. Since it is almost done, it is time to go out to do business, otherwise they will have to fight again tomorrow morning.

"Okay, please come here, wait for good news, and the officials will leave the city now." Sun Guangxian was eager to leave the city immediately, and rushed to everyone to contact each other. You just need to be a rich man, and he still wants to continue to be an official.

Under the night, a bamboo basket slowly descended from the top of Jiangling City, and Sun Guangxian was sitting inside. He was carrying a large wooden box and holding a torch in his hand, feeling a bit tragic. When the bamboo basket fell to the ground, Sun Guangxian crawled out of it, holding a torch in his hands, and headed towards the Song army camp. As for why it was both hands, it was because he was afraid that the other guards would misunderstand it, and if they were shot directly, they would not be worth it.

"Raise your hands and don't move!" The Song army guards on the arrow tower had long discovered Sun Guangxian. After all, the torch was too conspicuous and shouted when he got closer.

"Your uncle." Sun Guangxian cursed in his heart, and a big soldier also shouted at him, but he had no choice but to stop. Now it is not the time to show off. As for raising his hand, he was already holding it.

"What are you doing?" A Song army was so proud that he heard the question on the arrow tower and brought night patrol soldiers to investigate.

"I am the judge of the Jiedushi in Jiangling City. I came here to meet General Murong." Sun Guangxian had nothing to hide and directly reported his identity.

"Do you have a certificate?" Everyone looked at him curiously for a few minutes. He was still an opponent's official and ran to the gate of the military camp in the middle of the night, not knowing what to do.

"I met General Murong's aide, Mr. Yuwen." This is Sun Guangxian's greatest confidence. When Yuwen Su was still in poverty, Sun Guangxian gave him five taels of silver. Now Yuwen Su definitely does not take five taels of silver seriously, but back then, that was a huge sum of money that he would not starve for two or three months.

"I'm waiting here, I'll go find Mr. Yuwen now." He didn't dare to be negligent, but he actually had an old relationship with Mr. Yuwen, so he just went to report it honestly.

Yuwen Su had already fallen asleep, but when he heard the report that an old friend was asking for a meeting, he was still a high-ranking official in Jiangling City. He had no choice but to get up.

"Who are you? How do you meet me?" Although Yuwen Su relied on Murong Yanzhao's trust, everyone respected him in the army. However, he failed to pass the imperial examination in his early years, and only had a scholar's fame and reputation, and now he has no official status, so he naturally cannot be called an official.

"Mr. Yuwen, about eight years ago, at the foot of Funiu Mountain and on the banks of Luoshui, Sun and Mr. Sun also sat and drank to each other." Sun Guangxian could barely see the outline of the other party with the light of the torch. It was much older than that of the time, but the outline was still there, so it should not be wrong.

"Are you Lord Sun? I haven't seen you for many years. I have always wanted to repay the kindness of my grandfather, but I can't find it." When Yuwen Su heard this, he remembered that he had wandered around for many years and saw all the warmth and coldness of human feelings. However, most of them were cold, which was considered warm, but only two or three items were remembered clearly. Sun Guangxian had already had an official position, but he respected him for a down-and-out scholar. Before leaving, he gave him money, which Yuwen Su would never forget until his death.

"Oh, I was the official a few days ago. I just learned that Mr. Yuwen was under General Murong's command. Isn't it that he is so handsome today that I came to find him?" Sun Guangxian sighed quite sadly. The opportunity in life was really unpredictable. He also saw Yuwen Su at that time. Although his situation was not good, he still refused to give up and just regarded it as a good relationship. Unexpectedly, he would really reward him.
