Chapter 325: Lian is Old

Old Master Xie just wanted to protect more people of Daqian.

Many years later, Mrs. Xie organized the criminals exiled to the town and took up arms again.

Lian is quite old, can he still eat?

The answer is beyond doubt.

Old lady Xie raised her arm and said something, which was a quick and easy way to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. This intimidated the bandits and guards at the town’s pass and they would no longer dare to rape and plunder at will.

These road robbers are naturally bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

In order to protect the elderly, the weak, women and children who were sent deep into the mountains, the young men who guarded the Zhiguan Pass mustered up their courage, grabbed hoes and kitchen knives, and fought against the invading Northern Hu army.

Everyone knows that this is a deadly game.

Can't beat.

Can't escape.

You can't refund either.

Once they retreat, those women and children will be taken to the northern barbarians as slaves.

In the territory of the Northern Hu, the Daqian people have no dignity at all, and are even not as good as the grass that cattle, sheep and horses graze on.

They can be beaten to death, humiliated, and sacrificed alive at will.

We can only try to delay time and wait for Shengyan Pass to receive the letter for help and come to support.

The reinforcements from Shengyan Pass are the fearless hope of these people.

There is no need to make so many calculations when it comes to life and death.

One person's death means the survival of the whole family, the elderly, the weak, women and children.

"Thank you, handsome." Gao Fuyan shouted from a distance, "Why make a meaningless sacrifice?"

"King Zuoxian has promised Gao that if the people stranded at the border give up resistance and lay down their arms, they will not be killed, the city will not be massacred, and all punishments will be pardoned."

"When the Northern Hu's cavalry breaks through the passes of Daqian and points their swords at Shangjing, then all the people in the world will be subjects of the Northern Hu."

"Beihu Daqian treats everyone equally."

Gao Fuyan came from a poor family but was able to climb the career ladder and secure the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, which is enough to illustrate his wisdom and talent.

The Ministry of War holds too much information that the Northern Hu need.

Even without the defense of the border as a token of his allegiance, the Northern Hu would still be very welcome to Gao Fuyan's surrender.

Just a few words, carried by the night wind, reached the ears of the stranded people in the town, silently shaking the people's already weak faith.

No massacre, no looting, and pardon all punishments.

This is a huge matter for the people.

Old Lady Xie was wearing ill-fitting armor, with a long sword in her hand across her chest. Although her voice sounded old, it was firm: "Don't confuse people with your lies."

"Gao Fuyan, you and I were once colleagues in the same court. You and my son are close friends and bosom friends."

"Have you forgotten your ideals and aspirations over the years?"

Old Mrs. Xie knew that it was ridiculous to say such things at this time.

He also knew that Gao Fuyan had never forgotten his ideal of serving the country and the people.

But hatred shrouds the ideal.

No, to be more precise, Gao Fuyan felt that the ideal was dead.

In today's world where the emperor's rewards and punishments are unclear and the world is incompetent, there is no hope for a peaceful and prosperous life.

Gao Fuyan was both venting the hatred in his heart and cultivating the soil for flowers to bloom.

"Gao Fuyan, don't use your assumptions to deceive the people stranded at the border."

"The sword is pointed at Shangjing, but there will be no massacre or looting."

"What if I can't point it out?"

"People who give up resistance will become the dead souls of the Northern Hu Iron Riders."

"Thank you, Commander." Gao Fuyan rode on a tall horse and said loudly, "What ideals, what colleagues."

"Thank you, Marshal. The Emperor of Daqian has already given up on the Zhenzhi Pass."

"The defenders of Shengyan Pass repeatedly turned a blind eye to requests for help from Zhenzhi Pass."

"Why take these poor innocent people to their deaths?"

"Even after the smoke of war has burned out, there will be no reinforcements coming."

If there had been reinforcements, how could his brother, who was born to the same mother as him, have been trampled into a pulp by horses?

"Even if we send someone to ask for help in person, no one will take it seriously."

"Thank you, Marshal. Daqian is no longer the Daqian of the past."

"The Northern Army is no longer the Northern Army of the past."

"Marshal Xie was accused of treason and treason, and his entire family was exterminated, his family was destroyed."

"With such a Daqian and such a Majesty, how can they be worthy of your loyalty?"

Old Mrs. Xie looked solemn.

Yes, Xiao Yao is not worthy of his loyalty.

But Daqian still has tens of millions of people.

"General Xie, surrender." Gao Fuyan continued.

King Zuo Xian, who was beside Gao Fuyan, looked unhappy and said with a hint of impatience, "Gao Fuyan, why not just shoot him directly? Why bother with so much trouble?"

"Are all the men in Daqian like old ladies and sissy girls?"

The blood feud between the Xie family and the Northern Hu lasted for hundreds of years, generation after generation.

King Zuoxian's father was killed by arrows from Xie's army.

Gao Fu paused for a moment, holding the reins, and looked up at King Zuoxian. "King Zuoxian, please allow me to report."

"There is an old saying in Daqian: Even if a centipede dies, its body remains intact."

"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse."

"The Xie family was destroyed, and the Xie family army changed its commander, but the prestige of Old Master Xie in the Northern Army cannot be underestimated."

"Shooting and killing Old Lady Xie may indeed bring some temporary relief, but if we can persuade Old Lady Xie to surrender, and take over Zhenzhi Pass, then Old Lady Xie will go to Shengyan Pass to surrender. By then, the Daqian army in the north will surely change, and the people will be in a panic. The Northern Hu army will be able to seize Shengyan Pass at the fastest speed with the least sacrifice and march straight in.

"What do you think?"

"Of course, if you insist on shooting old lady Xie, Gao will never persuade you again."

At this point, King Zuo Xian was speechless.

If he insisted on his own opinion, the generals who followed him might think he was a fool with no idea.

"Then it's up to you."

"But we can't delay too long, otherwise the Shengyan Pass garrison will come to our rescue. This time we'll attack at night..."

"There will be no reinforcements from Shengyan Pass garrison." Gao Fu said slowly.

Won't come.

"Thank you, Commander." Gao Fuyan spoke again.

Old Lady Xie said in a deep voice, "Since you called me Marshal Xie, you should know that the Xie family members on the battlefield would rather die than surrender."

As soon as she finished speaking, Old Lady Xie swung the long sword in her hand and attacked the Northern Hu army that was getting closer and closer.

Gao Fuyan's expression was complicated, with a hint of pity flashing across his eyes.

Heaven has no eyes.

The Xie family, charged with treason and treason, still resisted unyieldingly under the iron cavalry of the northern barbarians and protected innocent people.

God is blind!

King Zuo Xian said excitedly, "It was that old man who was seeking death."

"Swords have no eyes. He died in the chaos. This king cannot be blamed."

As he was speaking, King Zuoxian drew his bow and drew his arrow.

Gao Fuyan held the bowstring and said, "Wait a minute."

"Waiting for what?"

King Zuoxian was puzzled and also felt offended.

A surrendered minister who dared to disobey him again and again.

Is he giving Gao Fuyan too much face?

Gao Fuyan was also a little confused.

What are you waiting for?

He doesn't know what he is waiting for?

Wait and see if Daqian still has a chance to achieve peace and prosperity?

Gao Fuyan calmed down and said calmly, "There is an old saying in Daqian."

"Just say it directly." King Zuo Xian glared at Gao Fuyan and said unhappily.

There is an old saying in Daqian: "Open your mouth and close your mouth". Is this definitely not a subtle mockery of the Northern Hu people's vulgarity?

High Complex Extended Retracted Return "An army that mourns will win, and an army that is upright will be strong."

"The only people left of the Xie family in the Xinguo Mansion are Empress Dowager Xie, who lives in seclusion in Changning Palace, and Old Master Xie, who is in exile in Zhenguan."

I am indeed Xie from Xie Jiajun.
