Chapter 1242 The price of losing the bet(2/2)
Even if Gaoping Pass cannot be captured, as long as the thieves in Gaoping Pass can be held back and prevented from leaving Gaoping Pass, I would still dare to take the gamble.
However, the Central Supervisory Army was defeated at Gaopingguan, and now it was a question whether they could even hold Gaodu City.
He was attacked by the Western bandits on two fronts, and he could only cope with one side at most, and the Tutor had already made a decision, how difficult it was!
"General Sun, according to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, losing land is a serious crime. Now you don't even plan to defend it. Haven't you thought about the consequences?"
Seeing Sun Li, he was still speechless.
Many people looked at him with hatred. If it weren't for the fact that the guards and soldiers around him were all armed with swords, there might be someone who couldn't help but rush up to compete with him.
Seeing the angry crowd, some smart people quietly retreated towards the door.
Enter his mother's!
Looking at this situation, Sun Deda has already made up his mind and is definitely not willing to stick to the party.
If not, why would you not even take the serious crime of losing land in Wei Dynasty?
Someone left the prefect's mansion, looked back, and was already cursing in his heart:
This Cao Wei really has no hope at all!
During the late Emperor's reign, even if he continued to lose troops and lost territory, which of his generals would dare to abandon their territory easily?
Even if he could no longer defeat the Han army, he would still have to prove his ambition by dying - either in front of the battle line or in his office.
What now?
The thieves haven't arrived yet, so I'm thinking of running away!
"Emperor Wu, Emperor Wen, you are under the underworld. If you know anything about it, just open your eyes and take a look!"
An old man with a bright head was helped out of the prefect's mansion, stood on the street, and cried sadly:
"The Wei Dynasty has declined so much. If you have spirits in heaven, please show up and save the Wei Dynasty!"
Since ancient times, throughout the dynasties, elders of a certain age have been given preferential treatment.
Even if an old man commits a crime, the government can't do anything to him.
If the law is harsher, the most it can do is make its children bear the sin.
Even future generations with more and more perfect laws can only do nothing about some bad old people...
Not to mention that in ancient times, the average life span of people was generally too short. As long as you reached a certain age, you were considered auspicious.
How can something like auspiciousness be said to be bad?
Right?
So facing this man Rui howling in mourning on the street, Sun Li also had a headache and was helpless.
He clearly informed them of the situation in order to make them prepare as early as possible.
Unexpectedly, these people, instead of being grateful to me, would bite me back.
"Forget it, I have done my best. What they decide has nothing to do with me."
Sun Li let out a long sigh.
As long as you have a clear conscience, that's fine.
Now I can only comfort myself with a clear conscience.
With military orders like mountains and military sentiment like fire, it was naturally impossible for Sun Li to squeeze out too much time and energy to take care of other things.
It must have been too late for the people to move away.
But naturally, all kinds of materials in the treasury can be moved as much as they can.
In the past few years, if Luoyang had not been the capital of the Wei Dynasty and had the largest arsenal and Taicang in the Wei Dynasty, how could the Taifu have been able to sustain it?
But no matter how rich Hanoi and Henan are, and no matter how much grain is stored in Taicang, it is impossible to support so many soldiers.
If it weren't for Xuchang, many veterans would still be sober and advocate ensuring Luoyang's supply of grain and grass.
The army in Luoyang was afraid that they would run out of food during the drought last spring.
Even so, because of the feud between the general and the Taifu, the food sent to Luoyang from various places was still becoming increasingly scarce.
In the future, if the Tutor wants to allocate food and grass from the imperial court, he will probably have to rely on the general.
Sun Li felt even more dissatisfied when he thought that the Tutor was fighting bandits in the front, but the General was blocking the food and fodder from behind.
What a good fighter this time, why did the Taifu take such a risk and enter dangerous territory?
Because the food and grass in Luoyang was no longer enough to support a protracted frontal war with the Western bandits, they had no choice but to take risks and seize key areas as soon as possible to determine the overall situation.
Get the maximum results at the minimum cost.
It's a pity that in the end, the success fell short, and the Wei Dynasty was not so great!
With this in mind, Sun Li no longer paid attention to those people, but hurriedly went to personally supervise the delivery of supplies to the army.
At the same time, he also had to take precautions to prevent Guan thieves from suddenly appearing under Huguan City and attacking him.
After all, the Guan thieves always like to use cavalry to carry out surprise attacks, so they must be extremely careful with this person.
Some people are mourning on the street, and naturally more people will go home anxiously after receiving the news to discuss the next countermeasures.
"Grandpa, what should we do? Judging from Sun Li's appearance, he really doesn't intend to stick to the party anymore."
"When the time comes, if the Western thieves really come, I'm afraid they won't let us go."
The person who spoke had a frightened and nervous look on his face.
At the same time, there are many more people who are regretful:
"If we had known that the Wei people were so miserable, why would we have anything to do with them..."
Before he finished speaking, he was yelled at by the old man sitting in the main seat:
"Whatever you said! You've already done it. What's the point of saying such depressing words now? Can you save the situation?"
He took a breath and softened his tone at the same time:
"What was our purpose when we decided to do this? Don't we even remember it?"
Naturally, he wanted the preferential treatment from the Wei people and did not want to live under the harsh rule of the Western thieves.
The old man glanced at everyone and continued:
"Even if we don't do it, will the Western thieves let us go?"
"It's only been a few years since the incident in Hedong, why have you forgotten about it?!"
Under the old man's cloudy gaze, everyone was stunned.
The host of the long house mustered up his courage and asked:
"Sir, what should we do now?"
"What should we do? Although Sun Deda has betrayed the great trust of the imperial court and wants to escape without a fight, he has been pretty good to us when it comes to informing us of the news."
The old man sighed and said, "Shangdang is destined to be unable to defend itself. Sun Deda's intention is for us to follow him."
As soon as these words came out, some people became anxious:
"Tai Gong, then our inheritance will be lost like this?"
"Stupid!" the old man cursed, "When did I say I was going to lose my inheritance?"
"That……"
"Family separation!" the old man said seriously, "To be precise, it's clan separation."
"You, take the eldest family member and leave Shangdang. Everything done in the clan is based on the eldest family member. If you leave, even if the Western Thief gets angry again, he will not be able to bring down all the people in the other small families.
Kill them all."
Looking around at the crowd again, the old man saw what they were thinking:
"I know there are still some of you who don't want to associate with the Western thieves. If you want to follow the leader, I won't stop you."
Having said this, he sighed again:
"But our foundation in the Party must be watched by others."
Someone heard the meaning of the old man's words and couldn't help being shocked:
"Sir, are you saying that you won't leave?"
"Go? Where to go? I'm so old, where else can I go?" The old man sneered, "Do the Western thieves really let things go by this easily?"
"If no one stands up to let the Western thieves vent their anger, those who stay here may have to be buried with them!"
"grown ups!"
"Grandpa!"
…
Everyone couldn't help crying.
Chapter completed!
