Liu Xie, who had thought this through clearly, scolded himself for being stupid.

You really don’t want to go to the mountains of gold and silver, but insist on looking at other people’s faces.

Liu Xie thought for a moment and felt that this matter was generally feasible, but specifically, he needed to talk to some close friends.

As the saying goes, as long as you have military power in your hands, then no matter the noble family or the princes, they are just a bunch of clowns.

"Dog System, you are right. I will start implementing this matter after the Shouchun and Grassland incident is resolved." Liu Xie said with a smile, not paying any attention to the scolding of the system just now.

At this time, here in Shouchun.

Ji Ling is dead and Yan Xiang is seriously injured. Although Yuan Shu still has Liu Xun, Qiao Rui, Lei Bo, Chen Lan and other generals on his side, as well as two counselors, Yuan Huan and Yang Hong.

But these people really can't stand on the stage, and they can't reach the level of Ji Ling and Yan Xiang.

Moreover, as the two strongest men in civil and military circles, one of them died and the other was injured, which also made these people feel scared.

Lei Bo was the most powerful among the generals except Ji Ling, but he was not the one with the highest official position.

You must know that Zhang Xun, who was nothing but was killed by Lu Bu with a knife when he went up, had an official position of general.

The highest among all military positions. Ji Ling, who was at the peak of Yuan Shu's military force, was only General Wei.

But Lei Bo was a little worse, and only got the post of general.

It can be said that all the famous Yuan Shujun generals have higher positions than him.

Other generals of the Yuan army, such as Liu Xun, Qiao Rui, and Chen Lan, heard that the section of the city wall defended by Ji Ling had been breached.

When he saw that there were not many players defending outside the city, he immediately took his followers and fled out of the city.

As the rear general, Lei Bo originally only led his soldiers to maintain the security of the city, lest the enemy cause chaos in the city and open the city gates.

To put it bluntly, Lei Bo was engaged in logistics to prevent the dead soldiers sent by the enemy from rebelling.

When Liu Xun and others escaped, they did not send anyone to notify Lei Bo.

So Lei Bo didn't know that Liu Xun and others had run away until he saw the defeated troops at the other three city gates.

This is fatal!

Lei Bo never thought about escaping, nor did he bother to run away from the battlefield. He was similar to Ji Ling in many ways.

They both came from a poor family, they were both upright and loved their soldiers as much as their sons. They were both promoted by Yuan Shu.

Therefore, Lei Bo was unwilling to escape.

However, the terrible thing does not mean that Lei Bo thinks that he has been abandoned by Liu Xun and others and allowed him to take the throne.

But he felt that it was too fast, and even the defense line he built in the city was not completed.

Yuan Shu was very arrogant. In his opinion, Shouchun where he was located was as solid as gold and could not be breached.

Therefore, Yuan Shu did not let anyone build fortifications in the city at first.

Ji Ling and Lei Bo wrote to Yuan Shu many times, but Yuan Shu always said, "The capital of a country should be impregnable and resist the enemy. How can it resist the enemy within the imperial city? If so, where is the majesty of the imperial court?"

To put it bluntly, Yuan Shu felt that he was the emperor, Shouchun was the imperial city, and his Da Zhong had only been established recently, so he could not have a battle within his own imperial city.

Otherwise, others would say that his Dazhong was a short-lived dynasty.

He, Yuan Shu cannot afford to lose this person!

Therefore, even if the fighting outside the city is in full swing, there is still singing and dancing in the city.

Ji Ling and Lei Bo had no choice but to let things go after many attempts to persuade them to no avail.

It wasn't until Lei Bo saw Yan Xiang being carried off the city wall that he felt that something was wrong, so he directly concealed it from Yuan Shu and asked people to build a simple defense in the city.

But not long after that, we first heard that Ji Ling had died in battle, and that the city wall he was responsible for had been broken, and Ji Ling's lieutenant was now leading the resistance.

But it is estimated that they will not last long. Now that they heard that Liu Xun and others immediately abandoned the city and fled, leaving Yuan Shu in the city.

Lei Bo wanted to curse, you are so damn ready to run away and take His Majesty away! Now you don’t even care about His Majesty, are you still just human beings?

After Lei Bo scolded him, he realized that it would be useless if he continued to do so.

So while Lei Bo sent his cronies to collect the defeated troops at other city gates, he also sent people to tell Ji Ling's deputy general to hold off the enemy for an extra hour.

Lei Bo then led his men, abandoned the half-built simple defenses, and retreated directly towards the palace where Yuan Shu was.

Lei Bo planned to defend the palace and this was his last way of repaying Yuan Shu.

After Lieutenant General Ji Ling heard that Lei Bo had told him to guard for an hour, there was no anger or sadness on his face, he just nodded silently.

After the messengers left, he looked back at the army of players swarming in again, with a look of helplessness on his face.

One hour was really too difficult. He relied on Wengcheng and the 40,000 remaining soldiers in his hands, and it was strange that he could last for an hour.

The deputy general had already made up his mind. He could only do his best and obey fate.

When Lei Bo gathered the defeated troops and retreated to the puppet palace where Yuan Shu was, he ordered all the palace doors in the palace to be sealed.

At the same time, he commanded the soldiers to mount the palace wall for defense.

The palace wall is not as high as Shouchun's city wall, which is twenty or thirty meters high. Yuan Shu's palace wall is only seven or eight meters high.

Even the 20 to 30 meter city wall outside the city can't stop the players' attack. It's strange that only the 7 to 8 meter palace wall can stop it.

I can only say that this palace wall is better than nothing.

When Lei Bo arrived at the palace, he had already sent someone to notify Yuan Shu.

At this time, the defenses had been arranged, and he was ready to go to meet Yuan Shu.

When he came to the main hall where Yuan Shu used to be, he saw that Yuan Shu had changed into the official uniform that could only be worn by the emperor.

The hall was in a mess and there were many dead bodies.

Judging from their clothing, these people are Yuan Shu's wives and children.

Seeing this scene, Lei Bo couldn't help but lament. He looked at Yuan Shu, who was holding a sword in one hand, and saluted him.

"Your Majesty, I have already arranged the defense. Please take care of the dragon body."

Yuan Shu had a lifeless look on his face and said nothing. He just breathed heavily.

Lei Bo waited for a moment, but still didn't hear Yuan Shu's answer. Then he slowly raised his head and looked at Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu was also seen staring at him.

"I didn't expect that it would be you and Ji Ling who accompanied me to the end." When Yuan Shu said this, a trace of self-mockery appeared on his face.

Now that he recalled what he had done before, it was really ridiculous.

Is there really such a big difference between a poor family, a wealthy family, and an aristocratic family? Does family background really matter?

Which one of Liu Xun, Chen Lan and Qiao Rui was not from a noble family? But what was the result? At his most critical moment, he abandoned the city and fled.

Instead, it was Ji Ling, whom he looked down upon the most in the past, and Lei Bo was willing to fight to the death for him!

This shocked Yuan Shu, who had always believed that a wealthy family was better than a poor family and had always valued family background.

Lei Bo wanted to say something more, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he didn't know where to start.

"I'm tired, please step back. I leave the safety of the imperial city to you." Yuan Shu said to Lei Bo, and then waved his hand, signaling Lei Bo to go out first.
