Chapter 98 Leaving Guidefu
The eunuch of Nanjing City was replaced with a new one this time. This time, he learned the lesson of the prince. The moment he came out of Nanjing City, he quickly went back to Defu.
At this time, the Guide Mansion was busy. Five or 6,000 formal soldiers, plus more than 3,000 soldiers captured, as well as the families of some craftsmen, and the people in the Guide Mansion, more than seven or eight thousand people began to march towards Luoyang Mansion.
Tens of thousands of people have been in a row for miles, and officials from surrounding counties and towns have opened the gates one after another.
Of course, these officials were not afraid to open the gate happily when they saw the Pingbei army, but because they were afraid. These officials knew that if the Pingbei army attacked their city, they would certainly not be able to defend it. Instead of being broken through the city and killed, it would be better to open the gate to welcome the Pingbei army, which might spare their lives.
In this way, every place where the Pingbei Army went, the city of that place was wide open, and the officials and squires came out to meet.
Liu Xia's departure made the people of Guidefu feel puzzled and frustrated.
Today's Liu Xia is a hero of the Han people. He can defeat the powerful Qing army. What a powerful figure! Liu Xia stayed in the Guide Mansion, and the people of the Guide Mansion can live and work in peace and contentment. Now that Liu Xia leads the troops and leave, won't the Guide Mansion return to the rule of the Qing army again? Isn't the Qing army going to harm them again?
Thinking that thousands of people from Guidefu here flocked to Liu Xia's residence and wanted to ask Liu Xia to stay, but Liu Xia could not stay in the land of the Fourth World War because of some people's requirements.
But if so many people don't appease them, the consequences will be... Liu Xia doesn't want to know that his reputation will be completely destroyed in the future. Not only will he be so ambitious people will not come to rely on him.
Liu Xia, who had no choice, finally walked out of the county government and went to the high platform and shouted loudly to the messy people below: "Everyone be quiet! Listen to the general."
"I know what you are thinking. Guide Mansion has now taken it. Why do you have to leave Guide Mansion and go somewhere else? If you leave Guide Mansion, won't you return the city you have worked hard to grab to the Qing army? But have you ever thought that if the army doesn't leave the Guide Mansion, our Pingbei army will definitely be destroyed!"
Liu Xia's words stunned the people below. Why would the army be destroyed if they didn't leave the house of Guide? Didn't they defeat the Qing army once before?
Liu Xia cleared her throat and continued, "Although we defeated the Qing army before, it was only a small part, and the Qing army also miscalculated our combat effectiveness so that it was defeated. I believe that if the king of the Tari people in Beijing knew the news of the defeat, he would be very angry. At that time, he would definitely send tens of thousands of troops, and there were 30,000 troops of the Tari in the south. At that time, they would attack north and south. Can only thousands of Pingbei troops resist it?
"Then you leave, what should we do?"
The people below began to shout.
"Yes, didn't you leave us all to the Qing army? What if the Qing army slaughtered the city?"
"Yes, yes, you can't leave."
Liu Xia frowned, waved her hand and said, "If you are willing to leave Guide Mansion, I am willing to take you out of here. It is necessary for the Pingbei army to leave Guidefu and cannot be changed. If you want, I can let you follow. If you don't want to, I won't force you.
After Liu Xia finished speaking, she left here. At the same time, there is a lot of discussion below.
Will you leave with Liu Xia or continue to be in Guidefu?
Guidefu is their home and their root! For Chinese people, the love complex is very serious. If there are no special circumstances, they will generally not leave their hometown to go out.
That's why there was such a scene. Some old people were on crutches, knocked on the ground with pain in their eyes, and quarreled with their descendants who wanted to leave Guidefu in front of them.
Returning to the roots of fallen leaves is a tradition of the Chinese nation. If you leave Guidefu with Liu Xia, you may never come back in the future.
"Dad, do you want to say something? Are we going to follow the general?"
A middle-aged man said anxiously to his elderly father. The wife and three children around him also stared at the old man.
The old man is a little embarrassed. Should he follow Liu Xia or not? The old man doesn't have much time to live. He really doesn't want to leave his hometown and go somewhere else when he is about to enter the grave.
But looking at the eager expectations of his family and the three grandchildren, the old man did not immediately refuse.
"Alas," the old man sighed heavily.
The world is not peaceful. There are wars everywhere. Where is the happy land?
During Liu Xia's days in Guidefu, he strictly ordered the soldiers, so there was no disturbance to the people, so the people of Guidefu's evaluation of Liu Xia was still very good.
The old man knew that if he didn't leave with Liu Xia, once the Tartar returned to Guide Mansion, he would definitely have a bloody wash. He was old and didn't have a few days to live, but his grandson was still young, his son was still young, and they had to live. I can't let the old Song family have their children and grandchildren!
Finally, under the gaze of the family, tears flashed in the old man's eyes. He whispered a little discouragedly, "Son, take your daughter-in-law and three children and follow the general to Guide House. Dad can't walk so much when he is old, so he won't follow him."
Although the middle-aged man wanted to leave with Liu Xia, he didn't want to abandon his father and be an unfilial son.
He thought that the old man was angry with himself, so he said such angry words, so he quickly explained, "Dad, Dad, I can take you with me. Our family will follow the general to a new place. I will never leave you here alone and there will be no one to take care of you.
The old man's daughter-in-law also said, "Yes, Dad, even if you carry it, you will carry it there."
"Grandpa, grandpa, Xiaoli can't bear to part with you."
The old man couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes and began to flow out.
The old man listened to his son and daughter-in-law's words, and his heart was warm, but he had made up his mind, so he shook his head and said, "Son, Dad is not afraid that you don't care about me. Dad knows that Dad's current body can't travel long distances at all. Moreover, Dad is not willing to leave Guide Mansion to go to other places. Dad doesn't have a few days to live now. Even if the Taran comes and kills Dad, he just dies a few days earlier. Dad doesn't go anywhere. It's right here. After all, Guidefu is Dad's root! Son, you are still young, and Xiaobao, Xiaoli and Xiaohua need to take care of. You can't stay here with your father. Follow the general and leave quickly. Don't worry about Dad. Dad can still cook by himself now.
"Dad!!" The middle-aged man cried out.
