At night, Xiangyang, surrounded on three sides, was surrounded by a large number of lights flashing inside and outside the city. In the south of the city and at the gate tower, boxes of copper coins were dumped on the ground, and soldiers guarding the city lined up to collect them.

Everyone can get it once, once, and you can get five silos.

However, the amount of copper coins in the entire city weighs twelve or three pounds, and ordinary people can only get two or three pounds at most.

Many soldiers and generals were wrapped around their waists, looking excited.

On the side, the governor of Yongzhou and the new king Xiao Dazhuang, who was not worried at all when he saw the copper coins in his mansion being divided up. He looked at the enemy camp with lights outside the city, and he had no determination in his heart.

Once Xiangyang City is lost, he will become a prisoner and will not live long.

Therefore, it is useless to keep this money. It is better to reward the soldiers guarding the city to inspire morale. Perhaps, there are still some opportunities to save it.

But this opportunity is too slim, and Xiao Dazhuang dare not think about it carefully.

There was movement under the city, and the soldiers on the city watched with the help of torches, but they were the envoys who returned from the enemy camp and returned to the city gate.

People put down the hanging basket and pulled the messenger up. The messenger walked towards Xiaodazhuang under the eyes of countless people.

Xiao Dazhuang was looking forward to it, but worried that the messenger would bring back bad news, so he moved into the building and listened to the messenger's report alone.

"How, how can the prince answer?" Xiao Dazhuang asked, and the envoy replied softly: "Master, the prince asked, if Li Li can really be pacified, how should he deal with it?"

Xiao Dazhuang was silent when he heard this.

Yes, Wang Sengbianruo, who was outside Xiangyang City, stood on the side of the royal family and successfully defeated Li Li to turn the tide. How should he handle such great achievements?

The tiger is dangerous, so isn’t it even more dangerous for the heroes who kill the tiger?

"I understand." Xiao Dazhuang waved his hand, his whole spirit dissipated, and he sat on the couch and leaned against him.

The messenger felt a little uncomfortable when he saw this: "Master, why not break through quickly..."

Follow the official account: Book Friends Base Camp, follow it and get cash and order coins!

"I have my own sense of responsibility. Thank you for your hard work, go and have a rest."

The messenger left, Xiao Dazhuang sat alone in the room, looking at the lights and lights of the oil lamps, without saying a word.

Why is this happening?

The emperor suddenly passed away. The Grand Sima and Pengcheng Duke Li Li received the order of the Empress Dowager to govern the military affairs of China and abroad.

When the news spread, the kings knew that if they didn't act, they would sit and wait for death, so they raised troops one after another to attack the traitor Li Li.

You should know that before Emperor Gaozu was appointed as the emperor, his position was Grand Marshal and the commander of military affairs in China and abroad.

In fact, Xiao Dazhuang has no disgust towards Li Li and admires the other party's great military achievements, but now that things have come to this point, neither party has any choice.

He understood that Li Li had no choice but to take this step, because anyone who faced such a situation had only one way to go.

However, if Li Li wins, they will die, just like water and fire are incompatible, not the question of who is right and who is wrong.

Before, the kings raised their troops and gathered together, with great momentum. They were commanded by Xiao Dalin, the king of South China Sea, and went downstream. Xiao Dazhuang was waiting day and night, hoping to receive good news:

When Xiao Da was about to enter Jiankang, the royal family controlled the Three Wus and confronted Li Li across the river.

However, what we were looking forward to was bad news: Xiao Dalin was defeated in the battle of Pengli Lake and was saved only by his own death.

Xiao Dalin's defeat means that the royal family has no hope of turning the tables, but Xiao Dazhuang is lucky and hopes to stay in Xiangyang and delay time.

Perhaps, the Qi State Council sent troops south to attack Henan, forcing Li Li to divide his troops and was temporarily unable to advance westward.

King Nankang, who was in charge of the Three Wus, was able to show his courage and defeat Jiankang.

But bad news came one by one: Yingzhou Xiakou was lost, the court appointed Wang Sengbian as the governor of the army, led troops from Huaixi to Sizhou, and soon took down the Sizhou capital Anlu, the Sizhou governor, and the Changsha King Xiao Shao were captured.

At the same time, Jiangling was lost and was captured by the raided cavalry.

The governor of Jingzhou who lost Xiakou and Anlu King Xiao Dachun retreated to Jiangling halfway. When he learned that Jiangling had fallen, he wanted to come to Xiangyang. He was tied up by his subordinates halfway and took him to Wang Sengbian's office.

Wang Sengbian's troops arrived at the city of Xiangyang and asked Xiao Dachun to come out and shout.

Xiao Dachun stood under the city, looked at Xiao Dazhuang standing at the top of the city, regardless of the danger, shouted "kill the thief", and was blocked and taken away.

Xiao Dazhuang was very sad and angry, but he had no choice but to do anything.

The building will collapse and can be saved by non-human power, but Xiao Dazhuang does not give up and sends his confidant out of the city to find Wang Sengbian Chen to talk about his interests.

I hope the other party can be a loyal minister in Daliang and don’t be an accomplice to Li Li.

As a result, Wang Sengbian's question cut off all possibilities.

Li Li would have no way out because of his great achievements. He just became the emperor's father-in-law and had a guarantee to continue to be a minister.

As a result, this guarantee is gone, so we can only usurp power. So, even if someone defeats Li Li, can this person turn back if he makes such a great contribution?

Unless this person is a royal family, unfortunately, the royal family does not have such talent.

Even Xiao Si, the king of Poyang who knows the best in the royal family, probably cannot take on such a great task.

When Xiao Dazhuang thought of this, he could only sigh in his heart.

The Xiao family of Lanling is now known for literature, but at first he started with military merits. Otherwise, with his status as a relative of Liu Song, how could he have the opportunity to get close to the center of power?

It was precisely because Xiao Daocheng was ordered to station Huaiyin to resist the Wei army that he laid the foundation for the civil and military strategist and prepared for the later dynasty change.

Later, the Gaozu brothers (brother Xiao Yi and younger brother Xiao Yan) had the opportunity to take on important responsibilities because they knew the military.

Resist the enemy from outside and suppress the rebellion inside, and approach the center of power step by step.

But now, no matter how well the children of the Xiao family of Lanling write articles and calligraphy, no matter how well they read classics or how elegant they are, they cannot save the great mountains and rivers.

Since Wang Sengbian, as the governor of the marching, led his army to "put down the rebellion", this means that the civil and military officials from Jingxiang who were born in Jingxiang and many wealthy families in Jingxiang have made a choice.

In fact, there was already a sign before that, that is, there were not many officials in various parts of Mianbei who responded to the uprising of Xiao Dazhuang.

Think about how spectacular the scene was when Emperor Gaozu raised his troops in Yongzhou more than 60 years ago.

But now, there are few responders.

Over the past sixty years, the descendants of the founding ministers have almost stopped following the martial arts. The only few seedlings have also withered during Hou Jing's rebellion.

When the storm was in turmoil, no descendants of the heroes stood up and helped Daliang again.

There are no children of the royal family who are good at fighting, and they can turn the tide.

As he thought about it, Xiao Dazhuang had only bitterness in his heart. He was determined to save the nation, but he was unable to turn the world back and could only fight the trapped beasts.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the noise in the east, as if someone was cheering or shouting loudly.

After a while, bad news came: the guard of the East Gate opened the city gate, the enemy had already entered the city, and the soldiers and horses in the city surrendered one after another.

"Is that right? I still can't hold it..." Xiao Dazhuang smiled bitterly, and his originally chaotic heart suddenly calmed down.

He has done his best to be worthy of his ancestors and his ancestors without any regrets.

A general suddenly said, "King, I am willing to escort the king to break through. Please summon your family..."

Xiao Dazhuang looked at the general and his mouth squirmed.

Breakthrough? Even if you break through, where can you go next?

To the south, Jiangling was lost, to the east, Anlu was lost, to the north, Mianbei counties could not tolerate him, and to the west, to the east, the boundaries of Dongliangzhou could not tolerate him.

Even if you want to escape to Zhou or Qi, you can't do it.

Or, it is difficult to escape the large-scale raid by hiding the people.

How long can you last after escaping into the mountains?

Taking family with you will only make your family suffer. If you don’t, it will be meaningless even if you escape by chance and live a life of a whole person.

"No need, you have tried your best and don't need to bleed for me anymore." Xiao Dazhuang stood up, raised his hand, and tidied up his clothes.

Then sit down, sit upright, with a normal expression, without any fear.

"I am here, wait for them to come and pass the orders so that the soldiers will not resist."

A general was anxious: "Then, wouldn't the money be gray?"

Xiao Dazhuang shook his head: "It's okay, just treat it as my farewell ceremony."

For Xiao Dazhuang at this time, money was already an outsider.

The country is almost gone, and the family is almost gone. What's the use of him asking for this money?
