    "Report!!! General, just now, the enemy fired a letter of war on the city wall!" Under the military tent, a soldier knelt on the ground and shouted.

    The general sat on the main seat, without a trace of panic, he said calmly: "Read!"

    "Yes, General!" The soldier replied respectfully: "General Gongsun, I will tell you when I see the letter.  I don¡¯t want to fight to the death with the general, and I don¡¯t want the people of the imperial city to suffer for it, but I also ask the general to raise your hands for the people of the world, if the general is still stubborn, I hope to have a decisive battle with the general on the city wall at noon tomorrow!¡±

    Hearing this, General Gongsun slapped the table fiercely, and said angrily: "Rebellious officials and traitors! Rebellious officials and traitors! He, Wang Kang, still has the face to hand over this letter to me? His royal family has been favored by the emperor for five generations of my Gongsun family, and he can do it.  Do such a rebellious thing! I am ashamed to be with him! Reply to him, at noon tomorrow, I will personally lead the soldiers to fight him to the death!" General Gongsun picked up the brush from the table, swayed it, splashed the ink, and put the rice paper  Throw it directly in front of the soldiers.  The soldier picked up the letter and retreated, but General Gongsun's eyes were a little gloomy, and he let out a heavy sigh, with an unconcealable tiredness on his face.

    "General Sun, how is the situation in the city?" General Gongsun pressed his head and asked softly.

    "If you go back to the general, the city has been out of food for several days, and the tools such as rolling logs and arrows have long been used up. More than half of the soldiers were killed or injured. They lack food, supplies and medicines. The morale of the army is low. Many soldiers have quietly left the city to join the enemy.  The people are terrified, the imperial city is already in chaos, and even many eunuchs in the imperial palace have fled for their lives early!" General Sun said with a low expression.

    "Hey! Wang Kang, Wang Kang, your methods are still so sharp, you don't have the slightest chance to breathe!" General Gongsun sighed.

    General Gongsun straightened his expression and said sharply: "General Sun!"

    "The subordinate is here!"

    "Pass down my general order! At dusk today, open the gates of the imperial city and let all the people out of the city to flee for their lives. If the monarch is guilty, the ministers will carry it, and the people should not be implicated!"

    "But once the enemy sneaks into the city, our army will not be able to resist at all! General, think twice!" General Sun dissuaded.

    General Gongsun stood up suddenly, walked in front of General Sun, patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and walked towards the outside of the big tent, but his voice slowly reached General Sun's ears: "General Sun, Wang Kang here  A man, a talent of heaven and earth, the gains and losses of a city and the hearts of the people of a city, he will definitely choose the hearts of the people! No one in this world understands him better than me!"

    General Sun looked at the back of General Gongsun leaving, his eyes suddenly became a little moist, kowtowed three times to General Gongsun's back on his knees, this head was not for others, but for himself, because there are also his grandsons among the people in the imperial city  Someone's wife and child!

    As usual, Gongsun Zhongde patrolled the border defenses, preventing any loopholes in the entire city defense. Looking at the skinny people in the city with dull eyes, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes. These are their people, but now  You suffered so much because of the war, Wang Kang, why did you end up here!

    Gongsun Zhongde walked to the door of his mansion step by step, his face was as usual, and stepped into the house, the maids at home also changed the official uniform for Gongsun Zhongde as usual, Gongsun Zhongde  Looking at this woman who had been with his wife for more than ten years, she still had a look of unbearable expression on her face, and said softly: "Xiaoyue, go and call out all the servants in the mansion! Master, I will talk to them!  "

    Xiaoyue nodded to Gongsun Zhongde, walked out of the yard quickly, and called up the servants in each room. At this time, Mrs. Gongsun had already walked to his side, looked at his half-head of white hair, and said distressedly:  "Master, why did this happen! Today's sage is incompetent and the people complain, why do you still have to guard this city for him! The general situation is lost!"

    Gongsun Zhongde said with a smile: "Madam, you know me. My Gongsun family has been favored by the emperor for five generations. If my Gongsun Zhongde escapes today, how will I face my ancestors after death? Although your majesty has misconduct, as a subject, I  It is already my fault that I failed to correct it in time. If I escape today, how will I face the world in the future? I, Gongsun Zhongde, have never been ashamed of the world, the monarch, or the country, but only you!"

    "Okay, I got it!" Mrs. Gongsun didn't persuade her any more, she looked at her husband beside her, she understood her husband's character, didn't she marry him because of his character back then?  It's just that when Gongsun Zhongde didn't see it, there was a flash of determination in his eyes!

    While the two were talking, nine servants had already stood in the main hall, looking up at their master, but there was no trace of resentment in their eyes, but full of admiration, Gongsun Zhongde looked atThe group of old people who had guarded the Gongsun family for many years stood up and even bowed to them. Everyone was shocked and shouted repeatedly: "My lord, you can't do it, you can't do it!"

    Gongsun Zhongde showed a wry smile on his face, and said to everyone: "Today's situation is due to my lack of ability, which made Wang Kang's traitor to where he is today.  Today, I still have to be cheeky and ask you all!"

    "My lord, please tell me, we will definitely do it for you!" Everyone replied solemnly.

    Gongsun Zhongde said: "Today I will let the people in the city go out, and please take care of my wife and children, please!" Gongsun Zhongde gave another big gift to everyone.

    Everyone looked dignified, and they all knelt down in front of Gongsun Zhongde, and said solemnly: "We will definitely live up to your lord's trust! Take good care of Miss and Madam!"

    "Then Gongsun Zhongde thanked you all for being here! Well, everyone, go away!" Gongsun Zhongde waved his hand, and the nine people retreated quietly.  Gongsun Zhongde held his wife's hand tightly, and said with a smile: "Do you still remember the first time I saw you? At that time, you warmed a pot of wine for me. Today, madam, can I warm you again?"  pot?"

    With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Gongsun nodded to Gongsun Zhongde, turned around and walked into the cabinet. Gongsun Zhongde sat in front of the table, looked at the blackened grain in front of her, and delivered it mouthful by mouthful as usual.  Putting it into his mouth, he seemed to be sitting here waiting for something.

    Sure enough, the butler Lu An walked in quickly and said to Gongsun Zhongde: "Master, Your Majesty invites you to enter the palace to have an audience!"

    "Is it really here?" Gongsun Zhongde put down the chopsticks in his hand, put on his official uniform, and watched his wife standing in front of him holding a pot of warm wine. Gongsun Zhongde finally warmed the wine, drank it down, and turned around  He strode out the door, but heard his wife calling softly behind him: "Master, our child doesn't have a name yet, please ask the master to choose one for the child!"

    Gongsun Zhongde paused, but his voice came out slowly: "The day our daughter was born, it was the full moon, so let's call her Yuerou. A girl should have the softness of moonlight, which can warm people's heart!  "

    After the voice fell, Gongsun Zhongde had already walked out of the mansion and disappeared from his wife's sight (Remember the website of this website: www.hlnovel.com
