After their hard work, the father-in-law finally revealed the price of victory.
The price is to kill the Star Reaching Tower until not a single soldier is left.
In other words, all the people who fight in Star Reaching Tower will die on the battlefield.
As soon as these words were said, the two of them immediately packed their things and went back.
However, my father-in-law disagreed, saying that this was originally what Beitang had to experience.
Yu Wenxiao yelled at his father-in-law for the first time, “How can we win when everyone is dead?
The country is destroyed."
The father-in-law was startled for a moment, unable to accept that his humble son-in-law suddenly yelled, slapped him on the head and said: "The country has not been destroyed. The black shadow has captured the enemy general. The enemy army has no leader and has been scattered. Of course,
In the end, Heiying was captured by Bei Mo and was cut into pieces with thousands of cuts. After his death, his bones were smashed and ashes were thrown away."
Luo Man burst into tears. She and Yu Wenxiao could not accept such a result. Heiying was a person from the Star Reaching Tower. Even if he died, he should have died of starvation.
If they want to go back, they must go back.
But my father-in-law just disagreed, saying that their mission had been completed. That battle had damaged Bei Mo's military and national strength, so that Bei Tang could survive this final battle.
But you still have to go through the process.
Luo Man went on a hunger strike. Yu Wenxiao smashed up his father-in-law's house and took many animals hostage to force his father-in-law. In the end, he was bitten on the butt by an animal and went to the hospital for treatment of rabies.
Maybe they were too pushy and ruined my father-in-law's peaceful years. Finally, my father-in-law relented and said that they could go back, but there was a price, that is, they would have to endure poverty in this life, and they would be even poorer than before.
of poverty.
But what does poverty mean to them?
We're all used to it.
The most important point is that when they go back this time, they have to borrow the troops of other countries. They have the obligation to maintain the balance of non-invading countries in the future, so they need to be busy running around. This will be the case for their entire lives.
Luo Man didn't know much about the current situation in the Northern Tang Dynasty, so he asked, "Why do you need to use the troops of other countries?"
This question caused a stir, "As long as there were soldiers, horses, food, grass, weapons and equipment, would the Northern Tang Dynasty be so tragic?"
Luo Man's heart was broken, the situation was more serious than she expected.
"You guys go on your way and think carefully about where to borrow troops and how to persuade others. I would like to make a small suggestion. Go to Da Zhou to try your luck first."
The father-in-law was still very kind. He stuffed Yu Wenxiao with a banknote and said that he would have to pay for traveling to Dazhou after he returned, and he even wanted to take care of the officials of Dazhou.
Yu Wenxiao held the banknote in his hands. It was just such an amount, and he was still looking after the officials.
But they didn't dare to contradict their father-in-law again, for fear that he would go back on his words and not let them go back.
In this way, they climbed up from Jinghu Lake with the tragic feeling of a strong man dying in poverty for the rest of his life.
I grabbed a random person and asked about the current situation. The situation was indeed more serious than what my father-in-law said. With continuous wars, the people were extremely poor, and food was in short supply to the point of famine.
They did not return to Beijing, but went to Dazhou.
However, there were no horses everywhere, and all the civilian horses were drafted to the battlefield. They could only spend money to buy two mules to travel.
Fortunately, after two days of mules running, they discovered two old horses. Although they were older, they looked better than mules.
They bought an old horse and made it faster.
Along the way, Yu Wenxiao was worried and still thinking of excuses to ask Zhou to borrow troops.
There is a saying from the ancients that helps the urgent but not the poor. The Northern Tang Dynasty was poor and impoverished, and it seemed that it would be difficult to restore national strength in a short period of time. If you lend it, you may not be able to get it back.
Therefore, it is unknown whether Dazhou is willing to be this creditor.
If Dazhou doesn't borrow it, and they go to other countries, they may have to help the black shadow collect the corpse, no, collect the ashes.
When they arrived at Dazhou, they were already ragged and unkempt.
Now I can't even enter the capital city of Zhou Dynasty like this. I tried hard to say that I even took out all the tokens, but the city gate of Zhou Dynasty wouldn't let anyone in.
In desperation, they kidnapped the city gate guard, which alerted the Jingzhao Mansion, and they immediately took him to task.
If they took out the token at this time, they would believe it, and the channel would send them to the emperor and the empress dowager.
The couple stayed in the palace for three days. They had enough food and drink, and they had plenty of food and delicacies, but they couldn't eat anything except water.
My heart was almost on fire, so I almost knelt down in front of them and begged them to lend me troops.
These were the most painful days in their lives. They knew that if the troops were sent out one day late, many more people would be killed or injured.
On the morning of the fourth day, Dazhou was finally willing to talk about borrowing troops and negotiate terms.
But no matter what the conditions are, even if it requires them to come back and hand over their heads after the war, they are willing.
