As the shouting and screaming got closer, Zhao Hao became more and more anxious.
"Old General, abandon the city. We will lead the army to take it back later!"
The generals who gathered together also tried to persuade Xiao Danglu.
"Old General, Lord Zhao is right. As long as there is green mountain, there is no need to worry about running out of firewood!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Danglu shouted angrily, "No one should try to persuade me anymore!"
"You guys follow me to defend the city!"
"Even if it means death, we must not let the southern barbarians take over Tucheng so easily!"
"Someone, send Zhao Hao to the north bank of Chushui!"
Zhao Hao also got angry and shouted, "If you don't leave, I won't leave today either!"
"If we're going to die, let's die together!"
Xiao Danglu said angrily: "Nonsense, how old am I, and how old are you?"
"Get out of here!"
Zhao Hao said, "If anything happens to you, how can I explain it to my brother?"
"It would be better to die together and put an end to it all!"
"I……"
Before he could finish his words, he felt a sudden pain in his neck, and then his whole body slowly went limp, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
…
When he woke up again, he found himself in the carriage.
The carriage was moving and shaking constantly. There was a person sitting next to it, and it was Qing Xing.
Zhao Hao reacted and sat up suddenly and looked at Qing Xing.
"How long have I been unconscious? Where are we going?"
Qing Xing held a long sword in his hand and said coldly, "He has been unconscious for half a day. This is the time to return to Beijing!"
Zhao Hao took a deep breath when he heard this, and asked with an extremely ugly expression, "Where is General Xiao?"
"How is Tucheng now?"
Qing Xing said expressionlessly, "Before leaving, General Xiao and his men were still fighting with the Southern Chu Army."
“Now, it should still be going on.”
Zhao Hao shouted: "Stop the car!"
Wu Song, who was driving the carriage, immediately stopped the carriage and lifted the curtain.
"Sir, if we go back now, it will be useless..."
Zhao Hao's face was gloomy. He let out a long breath and asked, "Second Brother Wu, how many brothers did we lose?"
Wu Song said: "Twelve in total!"
Zhao Hao stood up and walked out of the carriage, looking at the guards following behind him.
There are eight people left.
Moreover, everyone had different injuries on their bodies.
Zhao Hao stood at the shaft of the carriage, his eyes swept over everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, you are all warriors!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely avenge my brothers!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Qing Xing in the carriage say in a deep voice: "Don't even think about going back. With me here, it's impossible!"
Zhao Hao turned his head and glanced at her, then looked at Wu Song again and said, "Second Brother Wu, change the route and rush to Qinzhou as fast as possible!"
Wu Song's eyes moved: "Sir, are we not going back to Beijing?"
Zhao Hao snorted, "Will it be useful to go back to the capital? The military intelligence here has already been reported back to the capital!"
Zhao Hao said this and looked at Qing Xing who was standing beside him.
Qing Xing nodded and said, "General Xiao sent a message to His Majesty yesterday, and I also sent a message!"
Zhao Hao said, "Therefore, there is no point in us going back to Beijing. Listen to me and change the route immediately and head to Qinzhou!"
Wu Song nodded, and the convoy headed for Qinzhou.
It would be best if nothing happened to Mr. Xiao. Otherwise, he would let the entire Nanchu be buried with the old man.
Otherwise, he would have no way to explain when he saw his elder brother Xiao Chuyun!
Moreover, he suspected that once Tucheng fell, Xie Daoxun would definitely lead his troops westward.
Or divide the troops, occupy Qinzhou first, and then move to Tongshan.
The other route went straight to the capital of Dagan.
If Tongshan is lost, the armies of Wu and Chu can join forces.
If this situation occurs, the Shu army that has just retreated and the Yue army that has been watching in the east may both take action.
When that time comes, Dagan will be in danger!
Therefore, Qinzhou must not allow any more accidents to happen. No matter from which angle we consider it, it must be safe and sound!
Therefore, changing the route to Qinzhou now is more useful than returning to the capital!
It can be said that Dagan has now reached the most dangerous moment!
Four days later, in Qinzhou City, Zhao Hao strode into the City Lord's Mansion.
Upon hearing the news of his arrival, all the officials came out to greet him immediately.
Zhao Hao had a blank expression on his face as his eyes swept over everyone.
Then, he shouted in a deep voice: "Everyone, I come from Tucheng on the south bank of Chushui!"
"Now, Tucheng is experiencing a great battle, and General Xiao is leading his troops to resist tenaciously!"
"But the city is about to fall!"
"Once Nan Chu breaks through Tucheng, it is likely that the troops will split into two groups."
"The first route is through Qinzhou and towards Tongshan!"
"The second route is to go straight to my Great Capital!"
"Therefore, Qinzhou has become an important place!"
"Now, as the Duke, I order you to take out all the money and food in Qinzhou, recruit soldiers immediately, and form a line of defense in Qinzhou!"
"Stop the Southern Chu Army and head towards Tongshan!"
As soon as Zhao Hao finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a mustache walked out from the crowd with an expressionless face.
Then, the man asked bluntly, "May I ask Lord Zhao, do you have His Majesty's order to do this?"
Zhao Hao shook his head and said, "I was on my way out of Tucheng and changed my route to Tongshan, so I don't have your Majesty's order on me!"
The middle-aged man with a moustache was named Lu Kan, and he was the eldest son of the Left Prime Minister.
He is also the father of Lu Huairen, who once had some hatred with Zhao Hao for stealing his wife.
