Chapter 44 Xishan Mausoleum

"Retreat!"

Seeing the Xiqi army retreating like a tide, Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "Gongda guessed well!"

Yue Fei looked around, and the city wall was covered with corpses. He sighed: "I ordered the three armies to clean up the battlefield and cremate our sons!"

"Wait!"

Lin Yan stopped him and said softly: "Do our soldiers separate and buried them in the West Mountain, and everyone must erect a monument to leave their names!"

Yue Fei was stunned, "Your Highness, there are too many people. If this is the case, it will definitely consume a lot of manpower and material resources. Moreover, some brothers are already bloody and don't know the person at all!"

Lin Yan just said lightly: "I am not afraid of consuming manpower, material resources, and financial resources. As long as my heroes in the country can rest in peace, if I die for the country and cannot leave my name in the world, what is the point of their death?"

Yue Fei was speechless for a moment, and looked at Lin Yan with a sincere look on his face.

"The last general will replace the soldiers of the three armies, thank you Your Highness!"

...

"General, it's been three days, and we haven't found any trace of them!"

Li Changcheng said anxiously: "It's useless to waste here. Why don't we go back to the city? These more than a thousand Iron Eagle Sharpmen are the most elite soldiers under His Highness. They will definitely shine on the battlefield!"

Zhou Yu's face was calm and he said lightly: "Wait!"

"This..." Li Changcheng was so anxious that he stamped his feet: "What's the use of waiting here? If they don't come, we can't wait here all the time!"

Zhou Yu's face was slightly dark, "What do you think?"

"Lead the army back to aid?"

"Now that the 200,000 troops of Xiqi are besieging the city, what can we do when we go back?"

Li Changcheng also knew very well that although these 1,400 people were among the elite, they were really not worth mentioning compared to the 200,000 army!

"Why!"

"Don't worry, Jing'an City will never lose it. If we can cut off their food and grass, it will not only be the matter of not being able to protect Jing'an City, but how should these 200,000 troops escape!"

A rare light flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Transfer my order to expand the scope again. We must closely monitor the mobilization of ships along the Li River!"

"promise!"

...

In Jing'an City, 200,000 troops besieged the city, and the entire Jing'an City was panicked. The Jinyiwei went on the streets with a knife, and many people left directly east. Obviously, they were not optimistic that the Jingguo court could defend Jing'an!

"Lao Zhang, what are you doing?"

When the neighbors on the street saw that Lao Zhang was packing up his things next door, he was stunned: "You are going to run away too?"

"What does it mean to escape!" The middle-aged man named Zhang's expression changed slightly: "We are moving!"

"Moving? Moving at this time?" Old Man Wu walked up with a cane: "Where is your store? Do you want it anymore?"

"I'm almost gone, so how can I take care of the store?"

Old Man Wu's expression suddenly sank: "Nothing nonsense!"

"Our two families have been neighbors for generations, and have taken root here for generations. Now we are about to abandon the city!"

Old Man Wu sighed a long time, unable to speak, and Lao Zhang's expression was not very good-looking. After a long time, he whispered: "The people of Xiqi have not yet entered!"

Lao Zhang's face turned red and purple, he looked left and right, and came forward, "Old Mr. Wu, now the people of Xiqi have reached the city. There are 200,000 troops at the city. Listen to my advice, follow me to pack up my things and head to Donghai City. Our two families can take care of each other along the way!"

"you!"

Old Man Wu was trembling all over: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, King Qi, and tens of thousands of soldiers are fighting bloody battles in front of you. Wouldn't it be disappointing to be like you?"

Lao Zhang said disapprovingly: "Jing'an has only 40,000 to 50,000 people, most of whom are old, weak, sick and disabled. How can they resist the attack of the Xiqi people?"

"They have taken over our Western border in the past three years, and now they have even reached our imperial capital. It's only been three months!"

"How can the 200,000 cavalry besides this wall?"

Old Man Wu held the crutch in his hand tightly, his face flushed: "The city defense that the soldiers guarded with their lives has become a wall in your mouth. You... are such a bastard!"

Looking at Old Man Wu’s indignation, Old Zhang’s face also had a little unnatural expression and said softly: “Uncle Wu, if you don’t leave, I really don’t care about you anymore?”

"Get out!" Old Man Wu waved his crutch directly and cursed: "You beast who forgot your ancestors is simply a shame for your ancestors. I want to see how you see your dead parents after you go down!"

Lao Zhang was pointed at the nose and cursed, and there was a hint of anger in his heart: "Hmph, since you are willing to stay here to die, we don't care about you!"

As he said that, he turned around and walked towards the carriage.

Old Man Wu shouted: "Even if the Xiqi people are holding the knife on my husband's face, I will not leave half a step!"

He angrily returned to the door with a cane and sat down, looking at the carriage and horses gradually moving away, with a gloomy face.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

A man ran out of the room and asked carefully as he looked at the old man's angry look.

"Hmph, look!"

Old Man Wu pointed to the closed store door next to him, and the man also looked slightly surprised: "Brother Zhang and his family left?"

"Go away!"

"Hey!" A hint of sadness appeared on the middle-aged man's face: "I don't know when this troubled time will be the end!"

"Dad, why don't we make plans?"

"You evil son!" Old Man Wu stood up suddenly: "Your second brother died in battle on the front line and never took a step back. Now, the kids from Xiqi have not yet entered, so you should think about a way out!"

The middle-aged man also showed a hint of shame on his face: "The boy knew he was wrong!"

"Tell my family about moving, whoever mentioned it, get out of the Wu family. My old Wu family lives in Jing'an for a long time. This is our root!"

"Even if you die, you will die at the roots of your own family!"

"yes!"

Seeing the middle-aged man walking into the shop, Old Man Wu's eyes finally couldn't help but burst into tears: "Waiter, don't worry, dad will not leave. These Xiqi savages can't jump for long. We are from Central Plains!"

There were more and more people on the street, roughly divided into two groups. Some people wrapped their luggage and went all the way east, while others carried farm tools and money and food, headed towards the west gate!
