"What's going on?!" Lieutenant General Gu Hai and others, who secretly went to Fuming Town, noticed something was wrong before they reached the north gate of Fuming Town.
Wang Buxi narrowed his eyes and made a tent on his eyebrows with his hands: "Something is definitely wrong!"
"Drive!"
Gu Jiajun and Wang Buxi were in trouble The others speed up their pace back to the city.
As soon as he arrived at the city gate, Lieutenant General Gu Hai knew where the uneasiness in his heart came from.
Since the general vigorously developed Yunzhou, Fuming Town has been much livelier from morning to night, but today, it is almost noon, and the streets of Fuming Town are deserted!
Gu Hai's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Tatars raided Fuming Town?
But that shouldn’t be the case. I just took Gu Jiajun away, and Boss Li is still defending Fuming Town!
Even if the Tatars attack by surprise, there will be no traces of fighting!
“What’s going on?!” Gu Hai’s gaze shot towards the soldiers guarding the city like an eagle.
When the other party saw the deputy general coming back, he looked away with some guilt.
In fact, he should block the people who entered the city, but he didn't dare and didn't want to.
If it wasn't his turn to be on duty today, he would definitely join that group of people.
“Say!” Lieutenant General Gu Hai shouted loudly, like a tiger roaring, which made people’s hearts tremble.
The soldiers guarding the city lowered their heads and whispered: "The masters of Baichuan Academy sat in silence in front of the governor's office, and the common people also went to the governor's office to petition!"
Lieutenant General Gu Hai's face suddenly turned pale, damn it! Is there going to be a civil uprising in Fuming Town? !
Isn’t the general in danger? !
Gu Hai whipped his horse whip fiercely, ignoring the ban on riding horses in Fuming Town, and led the entire Gu family army straight to the Governor's Mansion.
Wang Buxi and others followed closely behind, breaking into a cold sweat.
If someone robbed this home and caused damage to the general, even if he died, he would not be able to escape the blame!
When everyone arrived three streets away from the Governor's Mansion, they were already unable to move.
Gu Shisan climbed up to the roof of the surrounding shops, stood on tiptoes and looked into the distance. His heart suddenly stopped. He saw that these three streets were all densely packed with people.
They didn't say a word, just stood there like puppets.
This weird scene made even the well-informed Gu Shisan feel horrified!
Soon, there was some commotion at the Governor's Mansion.
Then it was like a huge stone, suddenly thrown into the calm lake, setting off layers of waves.
The commotion was like these waves, spreading around.
The people, who looked like wooden figures at first, were like a calm volcano suddenly erupting, and each one of them screamed hoarse.
“Cannot retreat!”
“The Yunzhou boundary monument cannot be retreated!”
The overwhelming roar impacted the eardrums of Gu Shisan and others.
Only then did everyone understand what these people wanted to do in front of the Governor's Mansion.
Video General Gu Hai couldn’t explain how he felt. After serving in the army for decades, this was the first time he saw people actively asking for war.
Even when Gu Zhanshen was around, the common people would at most help them lead the way and do what they could, but there had never been such a strong request to fight!
Wang Buxi took a deep breath, worried that the people would get angry, and rushed to the governor's office. He hurriedly dismounted, shouting and squeezing into the crowd.
"Everyone, please give way. I am Wang Buxi, the magistrate of Woye Town! I have come to find the Governor to revive him!"
Gu Hai and others also realized what was happening and anxiously pushed their way into the crowd.
"Give way! Everyone, give way! I am Gu Hai, and I want to find the Governor to return my life!"
"Stop shouting! Let me in!"
It took Wang Buxi and others a long time to squeeze in front of the governor's mansion. At this moment, their clothes were messy and their hair was messy. Wang Buxi was panting heavily. In front of everyone, he knelt on his knees and deliberately raised his voice: "Your Majesty, a south wind blew last night and blew the Yunzhou boundary monument a hundred miles north! Please give me instructions. ! ”
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent instantly.
The wind blew the boundary monument a hundred miles north? !
What does this mean? Why can't you understand?
After a while, the crowd exploded.
"Master Wang, what you mean is that we moved the boundary marker a hundred miles north?"
"Then we will retreat?"
"We should still retreat."
“Hmph, even so, I’m still feeling very depressed.”
Everyone’s mood was extremely complicated. The original breath was stuck in their throats, unable to rise or fall!
The general took action, which comforted everyone, but the result was not what everyone wanted.
This is like throwing out a punch and hitting the opponent, but only hitting the hem of the clothes!
It’s so uncomfortable!
"Master, are we still sitting in meditation?" Xia Lezhi asked Niu Jinyi softly.
Niu Jinyi sighed softly, stood up, bowed respectfully to Gu Nanxi, and prepared to leave.
"Master?"
Although Niu Jinyi's voice was soft, it could be heard clearly by everyone around him: "Let's go, don't embarrass the general."
If you disobey the order, you will be rejected. Under the pressure of verbal and written criticism from all over the world, the general can move the boundary monument a hundred miles north, which is already very good!
At the very least, she told the whole world that Yunzhou was not a soft persimmon. It was not that Yunzhou was unable to protect these five hundred miles. It was just for the sake of peace and stability in the world that she chose to give in!
"Master, why am I still feeling uncomfortable?!" Xia Lezhi's tears welled up in his eyes.
When Niu Jin touched his head, he felt even more confused: "This kind of thing is called powerlessness."
Being pressed on the head, swallow this grievance!
This is what the people of Yunzhou often encountered before, but since the general came, the people of Yunzhou have become stronger little by little!
They have not experienced this feeling for a long time.
They can endure the darkness if they have never seen the light.
They can tolerate groveling if they have never stood up straight.
However, General Gu Nanxi brought them light and even pulled the floor up to their backs!
Now, this faith is broken!
The general who brought them light must also lower her noble head in front of the imperial power!
I don’t know since when, everyone in Yunzhou has become accustomed to the back of General Gu Nanxi standing tall!
In their hearts, General Gu Nanxi can kneel to the sky and the ground, but he will not kneel to anyone!
Now, this perception has been broken!
The boundary marker was moved back 501 miles, making all the people in Yunzhou feel humiliated!
Although General Gu Nanxi tried his best to save a hundred miles, this was even more frustrating! This is frustration that has nowhere to vent! This is the aggrieved belief that one has to surrender to imperial power!
Why? !
Why should we listen to the little emperor? !
What did he do for Yunzhou? !
He used the people on Yunzhou land as cannon fodder to prevent the Tatars from going south.
He failed to protect his people as a monarch!
He did not take back the sixteen states of Youyun, and even wanted to cede five hundred miles of Yunzhou!
Why should such a monarch ask the general to surrender?
Not convinced! The whole Yunzhou is dissatisfied! (End of this chapter)
