It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 681

In the wild and wild forest, a group of people ran out of breath, looked back from time to time, then raised their heads and continued on their way.

This group of people was Song Bokang and his party who escaped from Liangzhou City. In addition to Song Bokang's young wife and daughter, there were also civil and military officials in Liangzhou City.

In fact, when he escaped from Liangzhou City, Song Bokang didn't want to flee to one of the three cities of Jincheng, Wuwei, and Haojia, to regroup and regain his lost land.

The reason is that he is afraid that Liangzhou City is just at the junction of Liangzhou and Jingzhou. If he goes deep into the hinterland, he may be caught by Cheng Dalei's men. Then your fate will definitely not be good...

So, between regrouping and escaping, Song Bokang chose the latter.

The sky and the earth are big, and your own life is very important. If you lose your life, you will have nothing.

A group of people set foot on the road of escape, which is naturally not a pleasant thing. Traveling all the way through mountains and rivers, I have to worry about the pursuit of soldiers behind me.

Fear, hunger, sickness... These are torturing Song Bokang and this group of nobles. Even in a cold and bitter place like Liangzhou, they are pampered and have suffered such hardships there. So I complained a lot along the way, and complained a few words from time to time.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Lu Luo called out several times and said, "This subordinate really can't walk, let's take a break."

Song Bokang was also exhausted. He looked around and said, "Alright, take a break and continue on the road later."

When everyone heard this sentence, some fell directly to the ground, one can imagine the torture they suffered along the way.

Song Bokang was sitting on a big rock, and he was naturally not in a good mood. After bypassing the Sanshui Pass, they have now entered Jingzhou. The road ahead is still very long, and I don't know how much suffering I have to suffer before reaching Chang'an.

The thought of this made him feel even worse.

And returning to Chang'an does not mean that everything is over. After all, he lost Liangzhou, and when Zi Hui let him go, I am afraid that Cui Xiang would not forgive him.

However, these matters are not a big problem, Song Bokang has already thought about his words. It is entirely possible to put the blame for this defeat on someone else. Talk about how heroic you are, how cunning your enemies are, and how stupid your companions are.

Before he became the king of Liangzhou, he spent a lot of time in Chang'an City, and he was quite experienced in doing these things.

What really made him unhappy was this defeat.

Why did you lose Liangzhou City in a daze? Originally, I had a great chance to unify Liangzhou, okay?

Having suffered so much along the way, the dignified King of Liangzhou was driven like a bereaved dog. It was not that he had not thought about why he would lose this battle.

After thinking about it, I still feel that I did nothing wrong. Who would have thought that Cheng Dalei would attack Liangzhou City at night and break the city gate. What can I do if the city gate is breached if I don't run away? Could it be that I stretched my neck to let Cheng Dalei kill...

Every choice has a reason, and every step is not wrong, but why do you push yourself to the end of today when you are right every step of the way?

This is one of the things that Song Bokang can't figure out.

Looking at the companions in front of them, they are all nobles in Liangzhou City, and most of them are supported by aristocratic families behind them. On weekdays, everyone wears fine clothes and jade food, but today they sigh and sigh, so spineless.

Song Bokang thought that if he was really wrong, he had misused these people. Children of aristocratic families, with more resources, are so useless at a critical moment.

Song Bokang suddenly had an idea in his heart: Maybe such an empire should have ended long ago.

He didn't know it when he thought about it, and there was someone who thought about it not long ago.

There was a sudden movement in the mountains and forests ahead, and a group of people seemed to be frightened, and everyone showed a panicked look.

There shouldn't be any jackals, tigers and leopards coming. Everyone walked here exhausted, did they make food for the jackals?

Fortunately or unfortunately, it was not the beast, but the man.

A group of ferocious big men burst out from the dense forest and surrounded Song Bokang and his group, like a big bad wolf who saw a little white rabbit, showing a Jie Jie smile.

Song Bokang finally calmed down, cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, if you want money or money, you can take it as much as you want, just don't hurt our lives."

A person riding a black horse separated the crowd and walked in, colliding with Song Bokang's eyes. Song Bokang's complexion changed drastically in an instant, as pale as paper and no more blood.

"Sir Song, long time no see."

Song Bokang's eyes darkened and he fell to the ground on his back. Before he fell into a coma, he spat out three words:

"Bailisheng."

...

Today's Liangzhou City is in vain, but after a series of events, the current situation has finally stabilized for the time being.

Gao Lishi and Xu Linger were picked up from Luoyu Village, and Gao Lishi began to deal with the affairs of Liangzhou City. At present, the existence value of Luoyu Village is not much, it is better to give up directly, use Gao Lishi's ability, and let him help with some things.

Even Su Ying went from Toad City to Liangzhou City to use her abilities to help with some things. Intentionally or not, Cheng Dalei had put his focus on Liangzhou City. After all, Toad City was too small, and Shuofang City had not yet developed. In contrast, Liangzhou City was more suitable as the main base.

In this way, Su Ying is a little more energetic, and she is usually raised like a canary, which is indeed a bit boring to her.

Even Fan Lihua helped to close some things. It can be said that all the people that Cheng Dalei could use were used.

After concentrating everything, the clutter is mostly resolved.

With Heshen to appease the residents of the city, Cheng Dalei issued a strict order, whoever dared to harass the civilians would be severely punished. And there is no mercy for those who take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. There are security teams patrolling the city every day, and under such strict orders, the mood of the civilians has been temporarily stabilized.

After that, Heshen went back to Shuofang City, where there were a lot of things to deal with, and he also had to worry about others attacking Shuofang City.

Liu Bei dealt with military affairs, surrendered a group of soldiers and let them go, and left a group of them. There were probably more than 10,000 poor children who were willing to stay.

These people have just joined, and they are not yet Cheng Dalei's soldiers. It will take some time to turn them into their own people.

In the past ten days, Cheng Dalei has been very busy, and now he can finally take a breath.

Today, Heshen manages Shuofang City, Yang Guozhong manages Toad City, Cheng Dalei Liu Bei and others sit in Liangzhou City.

What makes Cheng Dalei strange is that in the past ten days, there has been no movement in the three cities of Wuwei.

No troops were raised to attack, and no one was sent to express peace.

Cheng Dalei scattered his troops, Qin Man guarded Toad City, Guan Yu guarded Shuofang City, and the remaining troops gathered in Liangzhou City.

Now, if the three of them want to have trouble, Cheng Dalei doesn't need to worry too much.
