Chapter 430: Severely Injured Gao Jie Returns to Yucheng

The situation has taken a turn for the worse!

Xiao Jingchuan led his troops to retreat southward in a hurry. As soon as the front army arrived at the gate of the government office in the city, the scouts behind them sent urgent reports on military affairs one after another!
The former reported that the Jiannu army had occupied Pingyuan County in the evening, which was less than sixty or seventy miles away from Yucheng!

Later, they used scouts to pull out the logistics and commissariat department, and on the way to the south twenty miles away, their carriages and horses fell into a pit.

In order to solve his problem, Xiao Lang had no choice but to order Zhao Yingyuan to go and help!
At this moment, just as Zhao was about to receive orders and start work, Gu Changting also appeared outside and returned to the yamen!
"I asked you to do something, but you ended up doing nothing?!"

Seeing Changting returning, Xiao Jingchuan's face was filled with sorrow. He could no longer bear to wait and asked hurriedly.

"Uh"

"Hey, Commander!"

"This, oh!"

"I just found out from the local county magistrate in the city!"

"Yesterday you mentioned that the people in the city should be dismissed, but now there are still many people left to be dismissed!"

"But it is indeed difficult to deal with it!"

"After all, there are too many people!"

"The quota of county officials is extremely limited, so..."

"And look at what terrible weather we have today!"

"How about you give another order to let them hold out for one night and see if the rain stops tomorrow, and then make arrangements. What do you think?!"

It is rare for the court to be able to mediate such a situation!
I think it is because they see that the people below are really having a hard time fulfilling their duties, so they have to try to lend a helping hand, and it is possible!

But at this moment, Xiao Jingchuan obviously didn't buy it!
As soon as they frowned, they started cursing!

"fart!"

"How did you learn to speak for others?!"

Xiao glared, and nodded in fear, not daring to disobey!

"Humph!"

"Just now there was a report that the Jiannu cavalry had taken over Pingyuan County at night!"

"It's less than seventy miles from here!"

"Why are you asking me to issue such a strict order that all the people in the city must be dispersed tonight?!"

"You're still using it as an excuse to mess around!"

"If we are a step late, the city will be destroyed and everyone will be slaughtered. Do you understand?"

Xiao scolded him fiercely, not allowing any argument!

Upon hearing this, Chang Ting realized the danger of the situation and hurried over to respond.

"Uh, this"

"Yes!"

"I understand. I'll go and supervise it now and make sure it's completed tonight!" Chang Ting gritted his teeth and was willing to take on the remaining work.

But suddenly at this moment, the patrolling guards outside the yamen gate ran in anxiously and shouted to report!

"Report——"

"Report!"

"Report to the commander-in-chief!"

"In the alley, in the alley, Wucheng Gaojie, he..."

The guards outside the yamen hesitated for a moment and seemed to have no idea how to continue their report!
When Xiao Jingchuan first heard the name Gao Jie, he was startled, raised his eyebrows and quickly gave instructions.

"kindness?!"

"Yes, Gao Jie is back?!"

"Tell him to come here and see me as soon as possible!" Xiao Yanling.

"Uh"

"Report, report to the commander-in-chief!"

"This General Gao... He seems to have been seriously injured and is in a coma and cannot be awakened!"

"The guards said that there were only a dozen or so riders escorting him into the city!"

"I just checked, he was covered in blood, and now, he is left outside in the rain..." the guard reported truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lang felt a little relieved. Without waiting for the man to finish speaking, he quickly interrupted him and gave another order.

"Right outside?!"

"What are you waiting for!"

"Quick! Carry him in for me!" Xiao Ming went.

Upon hearing this, the guard was startled and wiped the rain from his forehead.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

When he turned around and ran out of the yamen, he did not forget to call for a few helpers.

"Come on!"

"Come and lend a hand to me!"

It won’t take long!

Gao Jie was carried by them on a door panel that had been taken down from somewhere, and was brought into the yamen in the rain and placed under the eaves of the front hall.

"high"

"General Gao?!"

"Gao Jie?! Gao Yaozi?!" Xiao took two steps closer, bent down and called out a few times hurriedly.

From the sight of his injuries and the look of his face, one might well think he is useless!
Then I looked carefully and saw Xiao tilting his head towards the yard in the rain!
"You guys, speak up!"

"What exactly happened? Why is he injured so badly?!" Xiao Bai looked regretful.

"Uh"

“Yes! Yes!”

"Report, report to General Xiao!" the escort rider replied.

"This morning, Wucheng was attacked!"

"The Jiannu Tartar soldiers coming from the north are so numerous that there are tens of thousands of them!"

"The city walls of Wucheng are small!"

"And I, we're short-handed!"

"Even if it's the commander-in-chief, he will lead the troops and our army will fight to the death!"

"But, there will always be someone you can defeat!"

"Ugh!"

"After we are defeated, we will escort the Marshal and break out to the south!"

"This"

“Although it was tragic, at least we broke through the formation and rushed out!”

"Can"

"Who would have thought that a hidden arrow would suddenly appear in the bushes where the pursuers were!"

"Marshal, he, he"

"Ugh!"

Several guards who came with them knelt on one knee in the rain in the courtyard. The leader reported the situation urgently. When he talked about Gao Jie's serious injury, he was so regretful that he punched the ground!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingchuan's expression changed!
He must have known that the number of tens of thousands of enemy soldiers was not an exaggeration!

It cannot be taken as the standard!

However, Wucheng’s defeat was somewhat reasonable!

After hearing these words, I felt more at ease.
"Ugh!"

"Understood!"

"Thank you for your hard work, brothers!"

"quick!"

"Death Star, the rest of you, carry Gao Zongzhen to the backyard first!"

"Call the military doctor to come to the yamen immediately!"

"Saving people is the most important thing!"

"Hurry, go quickly!" Xiao Lang pretended to do his job!
"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the star of doom has taken over the order, so there is no need to delay and quickly lead people to lift the door panel and run back!
Come with me, Xiao will look back again for orders.

"Uh"

"Changting, go and do your thing!"

"By the way, take these brothers who followed you to the camp. They've been through wind and rain all the way. Get them some hot soup and food to drive away the cold!" Xiao was trying to do a favor.

"Yes!" Hearing Changting, he also accepted it.

"Thank you very much, Commander Xiao!"

"Thank you, General Xiao!" The four or five guards who had followed him into the courtyard were all happy to hear this and then retreated!
After this wave of people came and went in chaos, they gradually left the scene again!
Xiao Jingchuan finally let out a long sigh, then stood under the eaves with his hands behind his back, his face as gloomy as water, with a lot on his mind and a worried brow!
Sun Peizhong, who had been standing beside him, looked around and took two steps closer. He came in front of Xiao Lang and whispered something!

"warlord!"

"Just got down, I think it's Gao Jie" Peizhong paused halfway through his words.

"Well, it seems like it's useless, right?!" Xiao Mingbai asked back.

Seeing the situation, Peizhong nodded slightly.

"kindness!"

"If that's the case, if we continue to keep this person in the army, will it become a problem?!"

Peizhong's words were very secretive. When Xiao Jingchuan heard it, he couldn't help but turn his head and the two looked at each other!
"Why not transfer him to Jinan overnight on the pretext of medical treatment?"

"It will be easier to get out of this situation later on!"

"After all, there are still tens of thousands of people in Fengyang Town left behind."

"I am afraid."

Peizhong explained his meaning again in order to make it right with Xiao Jingchuan, to serve as a warning!
You can hear this saying!
Xiao Lang, however, had a determined look in his eyes and waved his hand!
"No!"

"Pei Zhong, it looks like Gao Jie is beyond repair!"

"but."

"If he died on the road, that would be fine!"

"But if we really let it go to Jinan, it will be out of our control!"

"By then, whether we live or die, it will all be up to Huang Degong to decide!" Xiao Lun, Pei Zhong took a deep breath and searched urgently.
"By making use of Gao Yaozi's trick, we can take over all of Fengyang!"

"It's not impossible for this kind of internal affairs to happen!"

"So, instead of this, I might as well let Gao Jie rot here with me!"

"Later, find another excuse to re-employ Gao Jinku who is willing to obey orders!"

"Let him pacify and pry open the remaining troops of Fengyang Gao Jie!"

"I think so. It will be more profitable for us!" Xiao Lang is good at making plans.
