After the imperial capital was captured by Ji Beiye, the people in the city fled in all directions. Some of them came to Xuangu Pass, crossed the border and entered Qizhou, looking for shelter.
However, the garrison soldiers at Xuangu Pass closed the city gate tightly and never allowed refugees to enter.
For a time, many refugees complained.
At this moment, in a courtyard inside Xuangu Pass, the general guarding the gate, Wang Huacheng, was sitting in the hall, dressed in bright armor, drinking tea leisurely.
It seemed comfortable, but Wang Huacheng's mood was extremely complicated.
The imperial capital has been breached. I'm afraid that early tomorrow morning, Ji Beiye's hundreds of thousands of troops will arrive at Xuangu Pass. When the time comes, how can he stop his thousands of defenders?
This Dayan Dynasty is probably going to end completely.
Thinking in his heart, Wang Huacheng sighed deeply, and a feeling of sadness rose between his brows.
At that time, resisting on your own will undoubtedly be a dead end. If you don't resist, if the Shaoyang King defeats Ji Beiye, he will inevitably have to settle accounts with his queen...
For a time, Wang Huacheng became more and more upset as he thought about it.
"General!"
At this moment, a soldier guarding the city walked in quickly, sweating profusely: "There are more and more refugees outside, what should we do? How about opening the city gate..."
Bang!
Hearing this, Wang Huacheng slammed the table and said angrily: "Open the city gate, are you out of your mind? There are so many refugees, who knows if there are any spies from Ji Beiye sneaking into them?"
"The city gate must not be opened. Tell those refugees to take refuge elsewhere..."
Wang Huacheng almost yelled out the last sentence, his face extremely gloomy, "Made, it's already annoying enough, and these refugees are here to add to the trouble."
"Yes, General!"
After being scolded, the soldier felt very depressed, responded and walked out quickly.
rustle...
As soon as I walked away, I heard another set of footsteps outside. The footsteps were very light.
Wang Huacheng was extremely irritable, thinking that it was the soldier returning again, and immediately cursed: "Ma De, what's the matter?"
"hehe!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a faint laughter came from outside: "General Wang is very angry." As he spoke, a man slowly walked into the hall.
It was Xu Bin sent by Ji Beiye.
Whoosh!
Seeing Xu Bin, Wang Huacheng's expression changed, he stood up suddenly, instinctively pulled out the sword from his waist, and said angrily: "What a thief, how dare you come here."
Xu Bin is Ji Beiye's confidant, and Wang Huacheng naturally knows him.
While scolding, Wang Huacheng also felt a little nervous. Xu Bin was here. Could it be that Ji Beiye's army had already arrived outside Xuangu Pass?
"General Wang, don't be nervous."
Xu Bin seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. He smiled slightly and said slowly: "I am the only one who came to see General Wang this time. The general and the Zhenguan Army are still in the imperial capital."
call!
Hearing this, Wang Huacheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not relax his vigilance: "You come to see me alone, aren't you afraid that I will kill you and hang your head on the flagpole of Xuangu Pass?"
Ha ha...
Xu Bin laughed, shook his head and said, "You won't kill me."
"Why?"
Xu Bin walked over slowly, poured a cup of tea in front of the table, drank it in one gulp, and said slowly: "Because General Wang is in a dilemma now."
"I have hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Guan Pass, and it is easy to break through the imperial capital. With your thousands of defenders in Xuangu Pass, if you want to resist, it will be like a mantis using your arms as a chariot, and you will die. But if you don't resist, one day the King of Shaoyang will settle the accounts with you, and you will be the same."
die."
These words completely hit Wang Huacheng's mind. His face immediately changed and he hesitated: "What on earth are you going to say?"
"hey-hey!"
Xu Bin smiled slightly, came closer and said word by word: "Of course I want to show you a clear path..."
.......
When Yue Feng and Ying Kuang arrived at Xuangu Pass, it was completely dark.
this...
At this moment, Yue Feng and Ying Kuang were both stunned when they saw the scene in front of them.
By the moonlight overhead, I could see that the mountain road outside Guangu Pass was crowded with people fleeing. Many people were injured when they escaped from the imperial capital. They were sitting there paralyzed and dying.
But the city gate of Guangu Pass is tightly closed.
