"Go find Yin Shuke." Talan explained seriously. "When the war started, Yin Shuke and I were both re-employed and appointed as the left and right commanders of the new army. But when the news of the defeat came, the Crown Prince concealed the news and withdrew both of us first... This guy may not be on the same path as us, but he is definitely on the same path as the Crown Prince... Moreover, Yin Shuke has been the governor of Taiyuan and Yanjing, and there are many old subordinates in the city. If he is willing to agree, we will have a better chance of protecting ourselves."
Zheng Xiunian nodded with all his strength, turned around in panic, and then looked back: "Marshal...can you assign me a few soldiers?"
Talan was silent for a moment, then immediately shook his head: "I've already said that the most important thing at this time is to gather the troops together. One more soldier is good... How can we disperse them again?"
Zheng Xiunian was completely helpless, and when he hurried out of the door and walked toward the street, looking at the obviously more chaotic street, his scalp tingled and he couldn't help crying in the street... He should have been watching a Cuju match in Tokyo at this time, how could he have met that kind of brother and ended up like this!
However, even though he felt extremely reluctant and powerless, his reason urged him to send someone to report to Wang while going to Yin Shuke's home.
"General, I have only one thing to ask you to do during this trip. I want you to consider our friendship and protect the families of the Han people who have fled south during the chaos..." Time was running out. In the military camp in the west of the city, across from Elubu, Hong Ya, who was panting, reached out and pressed the teacup in front of him, as if he was going to get straight to the point as soon as he sat down. "Forget about the tea."
Erlubu grinned, then put down the teapot in his hand and shook his head slightly: "For this kind of thing, Hong Chengzhi could just send a servant over to tell him, or just send his family over directly. Why would he come here in person at this critical moment?"
"Because I plan to visit more generals, and then separate the families of several families, in order to preserve as much as possible in the chaos." Hong Ya responded with a serious face. "This is the principle of learning from failure... When the Sixth Prince and I came back from Zhending, we encountered the Mongols on the road, and were killed without knowing why. Except for the Sixth Prince and I who stayed behind, only one Tai Shi slave was still alive... Anyway, I wonder if the general is willing to agree? If you are willing, I will send my family to the meeting tomorrow morning?"
Erlubu nodded: "No matter what, I can still do this... But Hong Chengzhi, you have seen the situation on the street, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to hold on tonight?"
"General, you are underestimating our vision." Hong Ya shook his head. "The meeting of the Shangshutai seems to be delayed without a conclusion, but delaying itself is also a way... Next, it is nothing more than the people outside the Great Wall returning to the Great Wall, and the people of Yanyun staying in Yanyun. This is the general trend. Even if there is chaos tonight, it is just a few Yanjing clans in an awkward position trying to stop the nation from returning north... But those people, even if they seem to be strong, how can they be the opponents of the generals who have survived hundreds of battles?"
Elubu nodded again and said no more.
Hong Ya simply stood up and prepared to leave, which prompted Erlubu to stand up and see him off... The entire visit was quick and easy, without any delay, as if he was really coming to entrust his family.
But just as Hong Ya was about to step out of the door, Elubu suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his arm: "Hong Chengzhi, are you really here just to take care of your family today?"
"General!"
Hong Ya was grabbed by the arm, and was panicked in his heart. His face was also anxious for a moment, but he did not dare to hesitate and turned back to explain. "Of course I know what the general means. He is just worried that I am going to play tricks again and make a real decision... Is that right or not?"
E'erlubu smiled but said nothing.
“But are Yanjing and Zhending the same thing?”
Having said this, Hong Ya got over the moment of gaffe and stomped his feet on the threshold.
"In Zhending City, I had the Fourth Prince's gold medal and the status of an imperial envoy. What about me in Yanjing City today? In Zhending City, the Sixth Prince was so soft-hearted, but in Yanjing City, the First Prince and the Yanjing clans are vital to life and death. How can they shake the way for me to intervene? Moreover, in this situation, any action must be done with troops... I relied on the general to kill that person for me that day. Will the general be moved by my words today and kill someone for me easily? You are also in a life-and-death situation now, and it is not for me to interfere!"
"It's good that Hong Chengzhi knows our difficulties." Seeing this, Erlubu finally let go, and then pointed to the sky and swore. "Please rest assured, Hong Chengzhi, no matter what happens, I will definitely treat your family members as my own family members and protect them!"
Hong Ya nodded, and actually grabbed the other person's hand, shook it earnestly, then lowered his head and walked out... It was truly a sincere and heartfelt gesture.
Of course, maybe it was out of genuine gratitude, because if Qin Hui failed to test Heshelie Taiyu, then this trip would not be a paralysis, but a real entrustment of the family.
Even if it was E'lubu, he would never have thought that Hong Ya's trip was both true and false.
"General Hesheli is joking."
While Hong Ya was paralyzing the generals on the list without any danger, Qin Huizhi was personally conducting the most fatal test. "We scholars are weak and powerless. Without the protection of heroes, we can't do anything..."
"Well!" Heshilie Taiyu laughed. "Isn't it just to protect your family in case of chaos? Although I think Mr. Qin is overthinking, but since he came to me in person, how can I say no?"
Qin Hui also took the opportunity to take a look at Hesheli Taiyu.
This man is in his early forties and is the leader of the Hesheli tribe, a large Jurchen tribe. Because he has been active in the vicinity of Shangjing for many years and has only come here to lead the troops in the past two years, his speech and behavior are inevitably much rougher than those direct descendants of the Wanyan clan who came to the Han area early.
