Chapter 455: Northwest Crisis
Ever since Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing rushed to the northwest for support, the people in the court were still in a panic, fearing that the northwest army would not be able to stop the anger of King Beirong.
But Emperor Jing of Wei was unusually not overly worried. He seemed to be waiting for some news.
Later, after Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing arrived in the northwest, good news came from the front line. The northwest was defended. Although Ru and Beirong were still fighting, the situation was very good.
At this moment, Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing, who were far away in the northwest, stood on the city wall, looking at the scene outside the city with worry in their eyes.
At this time, Baili Yuan came over, wearing armor and carrying a bloody breath. He stood beside Baili Yanqing holding his helmet and squinted his eyes to look ahead: "If Beirong attacks again next time, I'm afraid the Northwest will not be able to hold on."
Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing have been in the northwest for more than a month. After they arrived, they helped Baili Yuan repel the three invasions of Beirong.
However, Beirong sent soldiers to guard all the fortresses in the northwest. Now the northwest is an isolated city, with no one entering or leaving.
They are now completely trapped in trouble. If no one helps them from inside and outside, they will not be able to break out. In this isolated city, food and armaments are already insufficient. Can they really withstand the fourth attack of the Northern Rong?
In other words, even if they managed to hold on, what would it matter? No one would come to support them, and they would die sooner or later.
"It's impossible that Jian Suining and his family won't come to rescue us." Su Chenyu suddenly said, "They haven't made any movement. There is only one possibility."
Baili Yanqing thought that the meaning of this was: "Someone deliberately concealed the military information and did not report it. They were able to send troops to trap the northwest but did not alert the surrounding areas. It is obvious that someone has betrayed Dayu."
Hearing this, Baili Yuan slammed the city wall and said, "When the Northern Rong attacked for the first time, they seemed to be very familiar with our camp, so they lost that battle so badly."
"Didn't Rong Ruo want to pass the defense map to Beirong at that time? She didn't succeed at the time. It seems that someone completed it for her."
"But the deployment of defenses has been changing all the time, and Beirong knows the latest one." This is what Baili Yuan is most puzzled about. How could Beirong know the latest defense map?
A thought welled up in Su Chenyu's mind. Back then, Su Lin could join forces with Feng Xuanqi to kill Su Yi. So it seems possible that the new Su Lin would join forces with Beirong to kill himself.
This would explain why Bei Rong was able to obtain the most recent defense map of the northwest. It would also explain why he agreed so readily when Baili Yanqing and I requested support for the northwest.
"It's meaningless to investigate the defense map now. The most important thing right now is how to deal with the next attack from the Northern Rong." Su Chenyu said, "If we continue like this, we will all die in the northwest."
The three of them stood on the city wall for a while, but in the end Baili Yanqing and Su Chenyu left first.
The city no longer had its former prosperity, and was now in ruins. Many old, weak, and wounded soldiers lay on the roadside, their faces looking numb, without the slightest hope.
