By the way, he also accepted more than 5,000 taels of silver notes from An Jingzhi.
He also received An Jingzhi's kindness and won the love of the people of Jizhou.
"Okay!" He patted An Jingzhi's shoulder with his right hand, "Good brother, I was right about you. If you can survive, you will be my brother!"
An Jingzhi said: "Thank you, General, for your kindness!"
This group of people thought they were very smart. They wanted to run away. Don’t the people outside the city know that they want to run away?
The one leading the troops outside the city is Chu Hua, who is not well-known now. He will become famous all over the world after he sweeps away the bandits with a strong attitude.
Chu Hua must have thought that Lou Sanma was going to escape, so the most dangerous people were the ones who escaped, and the people who stayed behind to defend the city were the safest.
Moreover, actively requesting to stay can actually increase popularity.
Let all the soldiers under Lou Sanma know that An Jingzhi is a man of great righteousness and a man who will repay a favor!
…………
Lou Sanma thought about what An Jingzhi had done for him, and still had a trace of conscience in his heart, so he decided to leave a team behind to help cover the rear.
"I'll leave a mark on the road. If you can escape, you must come and reunite."
"Don't worry, General!" An Jingzhi said.
Taking advantage of the night, An Jingzhi asked everyone to close their eyes and shoot arrows and throw stones downwards, without showing their heads.
Among those who stayed behind was Lou Sanma's man, who asked in confusion, "Can you hit someone like this?"
An Jingzhi pointed to the straw next to him. The straw was dressed in human clothes and it was night time. The common people at the lower class generally had night blindness and could not tell whether it was a real person or a fake one.
"What matters is not hitting the target, but we need to keep hitting and let them know that we still have people."
"These straws will replace us, so that the imperial army will think our numbers have not decreased, and the people outside will not be suspicious."
"Brothers, we were all born and raised by our parents. We can't die in vain. We must live as long as we can."
After hearing this, the other party suddenly understood and felt touched.
Ever since An Jingzhi came, his good reputation has been spreading in the army. The other party thought that he was indeed a big brother who cared for his subordinates as the rumors said.
The others were also moved after hearing the explanation. When had they ever met a big brother who took their lives so seriously?
Following An Jingzhi's instructions, they took the initiative to harass, which indeed attracted many imperial troops. Lou Sanma and his men took this opportunity to secretly escape from Jizhou.
An Jingzhi's boastful voice echoed in the night, "Brothers, let's fight these dogs of the imperial court!"
He was riding on his horse, listening to the voice coming from behind, his eyes slightly red, "Brother, you must survive."
An Jingzhi squatted under the city wall, shouting loudly and then muttering to himself.
Lou Sanma and the others should have heard it, right?
Although the number of people on the city wall did not decrease, today's battle seemed to be particularly smooth, as if the other side had no resistance.
Soon, Chu Hua, who was leading the imperial troops outside the city, discovered something was wrong.
Lou Sanma and his men ran non-stop from dusk to dawn.
"I don't know what happened to my brother."
"Brother, Brother An is blessed with good fortune, and he will be fine."
"Yeah, big brother, didn't you leave a lot of people for Brother An? Even if we can't hold on, Brother An will definitely be able to escape."
Although they thought it was stupid for An Jingzhi to stay and die, it did not prevent them from thanking An Jingzhi for helping them. Now that they had escaped, they were not stingy with a few good words.
Lou Sanma didn't look at them in a good mood and just hummed in a neutral tone.
"Boss! The imperial soldiers are chasing us!"
The crowd immediately panicked.
Lou Sanma shouted angrily, "What's going on? Why are they chasing us?!"
"Could it be that An Jingzhi, that bastard, leaked our information to the imperial officials and soldiers?!"
"It must be him! I was wondering why he was so kind as to stay and die! He's the one who killed us all!"
"We shouldn't have left any mark on him! Now look what happened! They were all wiped out by the imperial army."
Lou Sanma felt a little shaken. He didn't think there was such a righteous person in the world.
The concubine said, "Master, it's not necessarily Brother An. Have you forgotten? We are a large group of people. We left so many traces along the way. The imperial army can follow them and chase us."
"I was careless!" Lou Sanma said, "Forget it, now is not the time to think about these things. Brothers, grab your weapons and fight your way out with me!"
An Jingzhi remained silent after noticing that there were fewer and fewer people outside.
It was not until someone said that all the officers and soldiers outside had left that he looked out in surprise.
"It's over! Those officers and soldiers are gone! They must have discovered the general's escape and are chasing him!"
"Brothers! If you are not afraid of death, come with me to rescue the general!"
Everyone looked at An Jingzhi, who had been guarding all night, with a blue face and some bloodstains on his face, and were shocked by his loyalty.
Even the soldiers left behind by Lou Sanma were feeling grateful at this moment.
"Brothers, the general has treated us well. He has no choice but to keep us here this time. We cannot watch him fall into the hands of the soldiers. If you are willing to follow me, let's go together! I won't force you to stay if you don't want to!"
After a night of fighting, a small number of people chose to leave, but more people were infected by An Jingzhi's emotions and personal charm and were willing to follow him to rescue Lou Sanma.
Lou Sanma saw the people around him falling one by one. By now, there were only fifty people left by his side.
"Tn, when did the dog soldiers become so powerful?"
The blade of the long sword has been bent, and raising the hand to swing the sword has become a conditioned reflex.
