"My father, mother, brothers and sisters, and all relatives are here, right here. If you let me leave, where can I go? I am old and have no ambitions of young people. If one day the capital city is broken, I am willing to be the one who witnesses everything!"

Xiao's face was sad, and his heart was already filled with sorrow.

She sighed and looked at the gloomy sky outside, just like her mood.

The Great Wei Kingdom has lived for more than a hundred years, and it has really reached the critical moment of storm and life and death.

She didn't want to see this scene.

But as a member of the Xiao family, she must witness this scene with her own eyes.

This is her mission!

It's also her destiny!

She continued: "People say that falling leaves return to their roots! The capital is the root of our palace. The palace was born and raised here, and experienced the destruction of family and people.

Now, I only want to guard them and guard the city until the day of death.

If the will of heaven destiny is destined to destroy the capital city and the Wei Dynasty is destined to destroy the country, we must also see with our own eyes how the sky and the earth collapsed and how the dynasty was destroyed!

After death, I went to see my ancestors and ancestors. I would like to count the merits and demerits of everyone. Everyone is a sinner, and no one can escape this!"

Yan Yunge couldn't understand how deep his mother Xiao had for the devastated dynasty of the Great Wei Dynasty.

But she could understand the idea of ​​being reluctant to let go, not let go, and rather die than protecting her.

Everyone has an obsession in their hearts.

At this moment, Yan Yunge realized that persuasion would not work.

She looked at her mother Xiao, "My mother insisted on staying, but had she ever thought about what she would face? Thousands of people in the princess's mansion, would they be willing to live and die with the capital?"

Xiao smiled, "When you leave the capital, you will take away all the people from the Princess's Mansion. I have already thought about it and leave it to you in the future, and you will inherit everything."

Yan Yunge was shocked. Is his mother ready to die?

She clenched her fists and said solemnly: "Mother really thinks that if you don't leave, can I leave with confidence? If you don't leave, I won't leave either. It's not my responsibility for the princess's mansion, it's my responsibility. Mother must be responsible for the lives of thousands of people in the princess's mansion!"

Xiao shook his head and said, "I am old, I have the heart but the strength is insufficient, and I can't afford the lives of thousands of people in the princess's mansion. But you can!

This palace has sent a letter to your father and a letter to your elder sister Yun Fei. From now on, the princess's mansion will belong to you. I will strive to get another title for you. I hope I can get a title for you as a title for the county lord."

"Daughter doesn't have any titles! Daughter wants his mother to live, and the princess's mansion is completely alive."

Xiao laughed, "A person will die sooner or later. Can you let me decide on my own way of death and time? Is it OK to agree to let me satisfy my wish to accompany my relatives?"

"Isn't my daughter your relative? Isn't my second sister your relative?"

"You all have a home and a person who will accompany you all your life. But my relatives are lonely, and I can't let go and can't bear it. Be good and obedient!"

Yan Yunge was already in tears.

She wiped away her tears and said solemnly: "Mother will not die! My daughter will not let you die! No matter whether the city is broken or not, whether the dynasty is destroyed, my daughter will not allow her to leave us without authorization. I always believe that only when people live can there be hope!"

Xiao sighed.

No one can convince anyone of the mother and daughter.

...

Xiao Yi retreated step by step, and the defense line retreated again and again.

Only the last fifty miles left are left from the capital.

Fifty miles, the line of life and death!

Life and death are just between the front lines.

Wu Heng may break through the defense line at any time and his troops are at the city.

The troops in Xiao Yi's hands are decreasing every day.

Now, there are less than 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.

Moreover, there are all groups of tired soldiers and residual soldiers.

Yan Yuntong's rescue is still on the way.

The rescue of military generals in other places is even more endless.

Pessimism and despair permeate the sky above the capital.

He finally sent a letter to Yan Yunge.

He told her to escape, run away. He would go to find her!

Yan Yunge looked at the short letter and tears slowly fell.

Then, she picked up a pen and wrote a letter, scolding Xiao Yi angrily.

"You must live! Live well! Otherwise, if you let Mrs. Wife be a widow today, I will marry another tomorrow!"

The letter was delivered to Xiao Yi very quickly.

After reading it, he looked amused and crying.

I was covered in dust and didn't know how long it took for me to wash up seriously.

Mr. Ji was still neat, but his eyes were covered with red bloodshot, and he obviously hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

At such a big age, if you keep going like this, be careful of your energy and your lamp running out!

He drank a sip of strong tea to refresh himself, "Give up, young master! We withdraw from the capital and rely on the defense of the city walls. We cannot sacrifice the only remaining soldiers and horses in vain!

They are all rare veterans. After all, there is still a glimmer of hope for retreating to the capital. It is meaningless to stay here and sacrifice in vain.

Everyone knew it was a matter of time before Wu Heng's troops could reach the walls of the capital. The young master had been working hard for so long. No one could do better than the young master!

Retreat! You can't fill in the lives of people. Go and see the soldiers. There is no longer the light of living in their eyes. Could it be that the young master really wants to fight until only one soldier and one soldier are left before he will stop?"

Bang!

Xiao Yi punched the table.

He is unwilling to give up!

He was full of heart and eyes and was unwilling to withdraw his troops like this, giving up the passage in vain, watching Wu Heng's soldiers and horses swaying in their teeth.

This is a great shame!

It was his biggest failure in the army for so many years!

He is really unwilling to give up!

Mr. Ji said with great thought, "If the wife is here, will she support the young master and fight to the death without retreating? Will she support the fight to the point where only one soldier is left? In the past, the young master said that the Northern Army would only fight to the death without retreating. Now the young master actually made the same mistake as the General Wu Fatian of the Northern Army. Could it be that God's will?"

Xiao Yi said angrily: "It's different! It's not the same at all! At that time, Wu Fatian had so many friendly troops, and he had enough food and supplies, so he could retreat to wait for the follow-up. Where can I have support and friendly troops?

From beginning to end, I have been fighting alone, begging my grandfather to sue my grandmother every day, hoping to have more troops. Shi Wen and Ling Changzhi were both bastards, holding on to the little soldiers in their hands and refused to let them go, saying that they would stay to protect the capital. The war has been a crime of unfair war! If I had 50,000 soldiers, it would never be the current situation."

He was angry, frustrated, and was in a dilemma.

Retreat or hold on?

He was unwilling to give up when he struggled and hesitated!

Mr. Ji insisted on withdrawing the army, "If the wife wants the young master to live, the young master must live. Just as the wife said in the letter, keep the green mountains and do not worry about the lack of firewood. If you return to the capital, you may find a glimmer of life."

Xiao Yi sneered, "Returning to the capital, the capital is like a land of no one. Wuheng's troops can come and go freely. How long can the Great Wei Dynasty last? Will it not be destroyed by the walls of the capital? Sir is too optimistic!"

Mr. Ji gritted his teeth and said sternly: "If the Great Wei is destined to be destroyed, then the young master should retain the fire to the future. The young master must think so. If the capital city is broken, it does not mean that the Great Wei will be destroyed. There are so many soldiers in the court, and there is always a way to turn the situation around!"

Xiao Yi sneered and overturned the book case with one hand.

He is too painful and too painful!

At this moment, he missed Yan Yunge very much.

If she had been by her side, he would have not been so tormented, as if he had lived a life like a year.

He took a deep breath, "I want to write to Shi Wen, Ling Changzhi, and Yun Ge. I will find out whether to withdraw the troops tomorrow."

Fifty miles away from the capital is not worth mentioning for the messengers who travel hundreds of miles a day.

Three letters were sent to the three residences.

...

Prime Minister's Mansion, Shi Wen, the Marquis of Pingwu, sighed heavily after reading the letter.

He said to the messenger waiting for the reply: "Tell your son that my marquis agrees to him withdraw his troops. Forget it, I will give him a formal document so that the court officials will not attack him with this matter later."

...

Ling Mansion!

Ling Changzhi has not made any noise for a long time.

No one dares to urge.

His wife Xie came to him, "Don't dare to make a decision, or can't make a decision?"

Ling Changzhi held her hand, "Xiao Yi is almost finished, which means that soon, at most three or five days, Wuheng's troops will be at the city. The battle to defend the capital, how can you surround the army with a few soldiers, plus a group of newly recruits who have just been recruited? Why don't you go back to your hometown first? I'm not relieved if you stay in the capital."
