Seeing that the Shu army did not come to pursue him, but instead took the opportunity to seize the city, he hurried back and led his troops to defend it.

An attack and defense that neither side expected, and another night battle, lasted only half an hour before the Shu army stopped and returned.

Guo Huai, who almost made a mistake, breathed a sigh of relief.

Tonight is destined to be sleepless.

Faced with an absolute advantage, he seemed to have nothing to do except wait for the city to be destroyed and the country to die.

However, he did not expect that the city would become undefendable sooner than expected.

The next day, the Shu army did not attack the city under the rays of the rising sun as usual.

At the time of Chen, several groups of soldiers from the Han army slowly led some common people from Guizhou to the city gate.

It’s Li Shu, that’s right!

Among the hundreds of people in ragged clothes, none of them were young or strong, they were all old, weak, women and children.

It also made Guo Huai, who had stopped at the top of the city for a long time, puzzled.

Driving Li common people to clear roadblocks, filling ravines to attack the city, and consuming the arrows and hammered wood of the defenders in the city, there is no shortage of precedents in all dynasties.

Nowadays, the world has been in turmoil for decades, and it is common to see all parties fighting against each other.

Even Emperor Wu had it during his early conquests.

However, Ni Shu was founded by Liu Bei, and his reputation in the world is for his benevolence and righteousness. He never drove Li Shu away to attack the city.

Moreover, the defensive supplies in the city have long been exhausted, why are they still driving the common people here?

How can hundreds of common people with hungry faces help in attacking a city?

Just as they were on the top of Guang City, all the Wei soldiers were surprised. When these Li Shu people reached a hundred paces, they each raised their voices.

"My dear, come back and plow the fields later. If you don't plow in the spring, there will be no winter food this year."

"Old man, the baby has been ill recently. She has vomiting and diarrhea. No matter what she does, she can't get rid of it! If you don't come back, the baby won't know what to do, and my mother and I won't be able to live anymore."

"Father, my eldest mother has fainted many times. She asked her child to talk to her on the couch, saying she wanted to see you one last time, so she could leave with peace of mind."

"Brother Zhong, the eldest brother has already died in the battle. If you die in the battle again, how will the orphans and widowers in the family survive?"

The old ones are hoarse, the young ones are crisp, and the women's voices are high-pitched. They are all different.

Words of advice, parents are short-sighted, and they are not the same.

However, the tears of sadness and the sorrow that rushed towards the face were all as desolate as Zigui crying for blood, without exception.

It also made everyone on the city wall burst into tears.

They tried their best to wipe away the tears, opened their eyes wide, pricked up their ears, followed the sound and visually looked for their respective family members, and answered sadly across the hundreds of steps of soil outside the city that had been stained black with blood.

Some soldiers who never found their families, and women and children who never had anyone to answer their questions, slowly became filled with sadness, and finally fell to the ground with their heads in their hands, crying bitterly.

The scream is like a knife, the sound is heart-breaking.

Likewise, the wind in March this spring is particularly cold.

Guo Huai, who was standing on the crenellations at the top of the city, raised his head to the sky when he saw this, slowly closed his lonely eyes, and sighed loudly.

Most of the soldiers under his command were recruited from the local area.

But now, we are beset with enemies on all sides!

During the siege of Gaixia in the past, the Chu army heard at night that they were in embarrassment on all sides and that the soldiers had no intention of fighting. They dispersed in grief. Even Xiang Ji, the famous overlord of Western Chu, who was brave and unmatched by ten thousand men, had no choice but to kill himself in Wujiang River.

He himself is only the governor of Yongzhou, so how can he reverse the situation?

well.

Unexpectedly, the moment of death would come so quickly.

After realizing something in his heart, Guo Huai opened his eyes and waved his hand to stop his own movement, not to stop the soldiers who were mourning themselves.

When the old, weak, women and children outside the city call out, it is doomed that the hearts of our soldiers will be confused, and further orders will be useless.

Especially since they have been defending the city to the death for more than a month.

You can’t disappoint the Wei Dynasty, so why should you be harsh?

At this moment, the groups of Shu troops outside the city announced in unison.

He said: "The Wei army in the city listens to the truth. Anyone who abandons his weapons and surrenders out of the city before tomorrow will be able to return home without death! If he resists stubbornly and breaks the city, he will be punished! We will punish his family members and make them slaves to the army for generations! If they dare to burn down the palace in the city,

, the treasury, is guilty of the same crime!”

After saying this, he drove away the old, weak, women and children outside the city.

The women and children were left crying, looking back frequently, and shouting loudly for their families to surrender.

On the city wall, there was naturally a feeling of sadness.

Those soldiers who lived in Longyou rushed to Guo Huai's place, kowtowed to the ground and begged Guo Huai to have good thoughts and not let their family members become military slaves.

In other words, no one in the city is willing to fight anymore.

Guo Huai has a reputation of caring for soldiers.

Therefore, after sighing with emotion, he picked up the soldiers who were lying on the ground one by one, and claimed that he would let them out of the city before the Shu army attacked the city tomorrow.

Then, with the soldiers crying with gratitude, they slowly and lonely walked back to their official offices.

At this point, there is no way to turn things around.

He was the governor of Yongzhou, so he died in the official office to repay the country's favor.

Behind him, more than a hundred people with enlightened hearts walked slowly and silently.

Guo Huai was born into a wealthy family in Bingzhou.

His father was the governor of Yanmen, and his great-grandfather was the great agricultural officer.

Therefore, with his family status, family assets, and his current official position, he can easily recruit and raise hundreds of people from the countryside.

Moreover, since ancient times, in the land of Yan and Zhao, there has never been a shortage of people who died generously.

These few remaining chapters, even if they fight to the last person, they will share life and death with him.

The governor, whose hair was already graying on his temples, stood still and stared silently at the soldiers on the city wall, who looked like they were surviving in a desperate situation.

It took a while before he started running quickly to catch up.

When he was standing side by side with Guo Huai, he looked over and whispered, "Mr. Lang, I have found you some ordinary clothes as a commoner. Please change out of the military clothes you are wearing now and come with me."

"Um?"

Hearing this, Guo Huai suddenly stopped and turned his head in surprise.

When he saw the Qudu showing his usual smile, his eyes became slightly wet.

With his wisdom, he still didn't understand that Buqudu wanted him to pretend to be the leader of Guizhou, escape from the Weishui River Valley to Guanzhong in the form of a golden cicada.

As for him being the commander-in-chief, when the Shu army breaks the city, they will definitely search for him.

His subordinate commander wants Li Daojiang!

"Mr. Lang, please don't hesitate."

Seeing that Guo Huai was silent for a long time, the Qudu urged him again, "Whether Lang Jun leaves or not, we will all die here. Why don't you, Lang Jun, give it a try and see if you can get back? You might as well let me."

It's like being under the Nine Netherworld and not caring about the livelihood of your wife and children at home."

"Of course!"

When the rest of the tribe heard this, they all bowed and worshiped, "Please Sir, make preparations quickly. Don't let me wait to die with my eyes closed."

"You wait."

Guo Huai was extremely moved, but his words could not be fulfilled.

In the end, he nodded slightly and let the tears flow down his face, soaking the clothes inside his armor.

That night, all Cao's troops in Shangguang City came out from the north gate and surrendered.

There was a general wearing fish scale armor and more than a hundred soldiers wearing armor and swords, hiding behind the surrendered soldiers.

When the Han army retreated and surrendered, they suddenly took off and ran towards the Wei River.

When the Han army saw this, they pursued him quickly.

They chased him and trapped him, but no one surrendered.

In the battle, they were all killed on the banks of the Wei River, but they discovered that the general who led them was not Guo Huai, the governor of Wei Yongzhou.

When he returned, he asked the prisoners, but no one knew.
