After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

Chapter 282 I was fortunate enough to fight him

Even if he could take advantage of the situation and get the throne, what would that matter?

He opened the door wide and let the hungry wolves in. Did he expect these hungry wolves to just eat a little meat and then be satisfied?

People are greedy, especially hungry wolves that are released from the cage.

Now that they are out of the cage, they will not go back easily.

The Eighth Prince doesn't look like a mentally ill person, so how could he do such a stupid thing?

“Is the throne really more important than the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians and soldiers on the border?” Han Yaojun closed his eyes, temporarily hiding the coldness in his eyes.

Chu Xi curled her lips and said softly, "This is the difference between you and the Eighth Prince. People with different ideals cannot work together. Everyone cares about different things and perspectives. You care about the stability of the people and the life and death of the soldiers."

"And... the Eighth Prince cares about who will ultimately take the throne. You care about different things, so naturally you cannot go the same way."

This is what later generations call different three views.

It is easy to have conflicts when people have different values.

Han Yaojun heard this and did not refute Chu Xi's words.

Just as Chu Jiang said, people with different ideals cannot work together!

Yun Jiyu was not good at battlefield command, but he knew that once internal and external forces joined forces, the reinforcements would be blocked and things would become quite troublesome.

"If it is true as Qi Bai said, that the Eighth Prince has already sent people to intercept the reinforcements, then the time we need to hold out and wait for help will continue to increase."

No one knows when the reinforcements will arrive...

Then, things will become tricky and difficult again.

"There must be a solution." As the commander-in-chief of the three armies in the city, Han Yaojun would naturally not panic easily. Facing Yun Jiyu's question, he said calmly.

"What should we do?" Han Ziyu asked Han Yaojun subconsciously.

"There is no other way. We are now trapped in this city. Even if we can get out of the city, there can only be one or two of us. Too many people will attract other people's attention, and one or two people going out will not change the overall situation."

Han Yaojun knew the difficulty of this battle. The 80,000-strong army of Western Chu had already crossed the river, and no one knew whether Western Chu would continue to mobilize troops!

"I know the commander who came to support us this time, Tang Yuhuai. He is a descendant of the Tang family, has good skills, and comes from a family of military generals. He must have read a lot of military books. He will definitely have a way to solve the problem!"

Chu Xi looked calm.

"You know him?" Han Yaojun was surprised.

For Chu Jiang, who is so skilled in martial arts, to make such a comment, I think this is really good, without any water in the water.

"Yes, I know him." Chu Xi nodded. "He was in charge of the Yunzhou disaster relief team. I was fortunate enough to have fought him."

The fight took place in the bandit village. When the two of them sneaked into the village, they ran into each other head-on.

At that time, the two of them had a fight, which lasted only twenty moves and was evenly matched.

Later, before the two of them could decide the winner of the fight, they alarmed the guards in the village, and the two had to hide quickly.

Later, after returning to the capital, another series of events happened, and Chu Xi and Tang Yuhuai never had the chance to fight again.

Not to mention a competition!

"Since you have such a high opinion of him, I believe you." Han Yaojun didn't know Tang Yuhuai, let alone understand him.

But as Chu Jiang said, the one who was arranged to provide support to Xi'an City must be a brave and resourceful character.

The situation in the city was getting worse and worse, even worse than before when there was no food or medicine.

Perhaps they sensed the approach of the enemy, and there were already quite a few civilians in the city. While the South Gate had been taken back, the Western Chu spies in Xianyang were almost completely cleared out.

The people packed up their things and fled the city of Xi'an.

No matter how long Xi'an City can hold out, it is always a good idea to leave at this time. Only by leaving can we completely avoid risks.

Otherwise, given the generations-long feud between the Great Zhou and Western Chu, once the Western Chu soldiers broke through the city of Xi'an, they would never have a good ending!

For the sake of their own lives, they had to leave quickly.

When the Western Chu soldiers retreat and the war is completely over, they will still have a chance to return home.

Every household was discussing whether to leave or not, and the first to leave the city were the merchants.

They have money in their hands, so even if they leave their homes, they will not starve to death on the road.

Compared to them, it is not so easy for low-level farmers to make decisions!

They had no extra food or money, so it would be harder for them to leave than to stay here.

Without money and food, they could starve to death on the road at any time. Even if they had food, they had no money and had to sleep in the open air. If anyone had a high fever, they would not have the money to see a doctor.

But seeing some people leave and being able to completely escape from the situation of being in fear, unable to sleep or eat well is naturally better than staying.

The soldiers have been fighting these days, and they are not unaware of it.

However, as the soldiers fought, they saw more and more dead bodies and wounded soldiers being carried down from the city walls.

That depressing atmosphere not only weighed on the soldiers’ hearts, but also pressed heavily on their chests.

It becomes a feeling of resentment that I can neither spit out nor swallow, and it makes me feel extremely uncomfortable.

It is really painful to watch others leave while you want to leave but have to stay where you are due to various circumstances.

Many poor families are beginning to consider ways to send their children away. In a family of five, the old ones stay and the young ones go.

Since they had no food, they found a way to beg at the gate of the government office. Since they had no money, they had to prepare some money for the journey.

Otherwise, you will starve to death on the road sooner or later.

That night, many people fled overnight from the south gate of Xi'an.

The situation in the city was getting worse day by day, and they were worried every day if they stayed here. The South Gate was blocked before, so they could not escape and were trapped in the city.

Now that the South Gate is open, they can escape to Xianyang, or even the city in front of Xianyang, so they naturally have to hurry!

Once one person moves, it will spread rapidly like an epidemic.

After struggling to hold out for a night, when Chu Xi went down the city wall again to change the medicine, he found that one third of the people in the city had left.

In just one night, there were less than 100,000 people left in the city. This number was truly astonishing.

In a few days, this city may become an empty city except for the defenders!

What’s even more shocking is...the gate of Xianyang city was blocked.

Because of the spies who had infiltrated Western Chu before, they intensified the search at the city gates and strictly checked the passes of the civilians passing by.

The county magistrate of Xianyang City had been locked up in the mansion by Wang Youren's men and was under guard, making it impossible for him to come out to take charge of the situation.

After Chu Er and his men walked around Xianyang City, Wang Youren was tied up and thrown into the Xianyang City Jail. The county magistrate came out to continue to preside over the situation.

Before Chu Er left, his face was expressionless, as if he was looking at a dead person, giving a warning.

The county magistrate dared not get away with it any longer and immediately stepped up surveillance in the city.

Check the pass when entering and leaving the city gate. If there is anything wrong, arrest the person and lock him up in jail immediately.
