Chapter 1023 What is a hero?

Some people agreed to be prisoners or not, because this was exactly what they wanted. Give them a mouthful of food now, and they would be able to sell anything. Besides, being prisoners is also an exchange, and they can save their lives, so why not do it. ?

However, some people disagreed. Under Gu Qingyue's instigation, about a thousand people chose to stick to it. This number was beyond Wu Yi's expectation. He didn't know what charm Gu Qingyue had that could impress so many people.

When the Rinan army put forward this proposal, Wu Yi understood that the war was almost over. The continuation and huge consumption of the war finally forced the two sides to return to the negotiation table.

This war, which lasted for several months from mid-winter to late spring, finally had a result.

At this moment, those who choose to be prisoners actually fall before dawn.

It is not difficult to imagine that no matter how dirty they are behind the scenes, Wu Yi and other people who are trapped in Tianlang City and refuse to retreat will definitely be portrayed as heroes of the dynasty and receive generous rewards.

Their choice was a pity, but at this moment, those who were willing to be prisoners laughed at Wu Yi and others for being stupid and would definitely starve to death.

A group of people were made prisoners. There were only about a thousand people left in the huge Tianlang City at the moment. The Rinan tribe took away a group of people who were willing to be prisoners, but still did not launch an attack. The huge wave of troops was still very scary to watch.

It was a false alarm, but for now, the food crisis has not been resolved, the future is still bleak, there is no way out, and the reinforcements that have been waiting for are not available, as if they have been forgotten, desolate and desolate.

Without basic food, Gu Qingyue no longer looked as charming as she had in the past few days. She was sickly white and weak, as if a gust of wind was about to blow her down.

At this moment, the rear of the Rinan army can still be seen. If they catch up at this moment and want to be captured, there is still a chance. Wu Yi asked: "Why don't you surrender?"

Gu Qingyue chuckled and replied: "You didn't surrender, didn't you?" There was a bit of arrogance and stubbornness in his words, and his clear eyes were awe-inspiring, and he didn't dare to look down on him.

"The war is over. With your contribution in defending the city, it will be easy to restore the title of father and brother!" Wu Yi said lightly, perhaps because of the recovery of his magic power, there was a transcendent attitude in his words.

The implication was that Wu Yi believed that Gu Qingyue valued her future fame and that was why she resisted. His father is a viscount. With this merit, it is not difficult to be promoted to viscount. If he wants to become a marquis like his grandfather, it will be more difficult.

"The traitors have not retreated. When will the war end?"

"Reinforcements will arrive within three days!" Wu Yi didn't believe that Gu Qingyue couldn't tell.

"So what if we arrive? It's too late! It's too late!" After these few days of hard work, Gu Qingyue, who was not familiar with political affairs in the past, also understood a lot. Sometimes, ignorance is actually a blessing.

Gu Qingyue's words were full of bitterness, Wu Yi said: "However, we have finally arrived!"

“It’s here this time, but it may not come next time!”

"Next time, you may not have the chance to see her next time. Congratulations on becoming the marshal's wife!" Wu Yi laughed, trying to lighten the atmosphere, but Gu Qingyue didn't laugh because of it, and the atmosphere became even more embarrassing.

Previously, Gu Qingyue was defeated because her father lost the city. Gu Qingyue changed from a tiger daughter of a noble family to the daughter of a defeated general. Her status plummeted. Zhang Tianwen might refuse this marriage. However, now that Gu Qingyue relied on her merits in defending the city, this marriage On the contrary, there is a lot of hope.

"What's the point of marrying into such a family!"

Wu Yi just thought she was being harsh and said: "You are still too young! When you get to his position, you will make the same choice."

Gu Qingyue did not answer, and Wu Yi continued: "Nothing in the world is perfect. It is not difficult to choose the greater between two benefits. What is really difficult is to choose the lesser of two evils!"

I don’t know if she listened to Wu Yi’s words. Anyway, she turned around and left, as if she didn’t want to spend more time with Wu Yi. And who was Wu Yi that she refused? Or is it this real world?

The result was as Wu Yi expected. The next day, a thousand-man team from the Daji Dynasty arrived outside Tianlang City. The military rations they brought with them became the most delicious food Wu Yi had eaten in the past few days.

Nominally, Wu Yi is still the leader of the remnants of Tianlang City, so he should be the one to negotiate. The leader of the thousand-man team is a scholar, or a Confucian general. He is somewhat similar to Zhang Tianwen, but he is a little younger. Know how he controls the army.

When Wu Yi figured out the other party, the other party was also surprised by Wu Yi's youth. It should be noted that the body of Chen Yanzhi occupied by Wu Yi was just a weak boy. Before, Wu Yi was a captain of ten thousand troops, with a position of On top of that, Wu Yi is even higher than him. Even though Wu Yi is just a miscellaneous Captain of Ten Thousands, he is still a Captain of Ten Thousands.

"My subordinate Liu Yuande, please see the general!" Yes, it was the commander who spoke.

Behind him were half soldiers and half civilians, women, children, old and weak. The city was poor in supplies and dirty. At this moment, Wu Yi did not look like a commander in charge of thousands of troops.

"Thank you for your hard work, I wonder if you have the marshal's password!"

Liu Yuande smiled slightly and said: "The marshal has already set off to come here, and my subordinate's trip is just to report to the general!"

Upon hearing the news, the surrounding soldiers and civilians immediately became excited, and countless people cried with joy!

"What, the marshal is coming!"

"Hahaha, the marshal is here and he finally got through it!"

…

Seeing their happy postures, Wu Yi didn't want to tell them that their suffering this time probably came from this marshal. If they can be happy, why bother to cause unhappiness!

"Did the five tribes withdraw their troops?"

"Retreat! If it weren't for the general to hold on to Tianlang City and contain the main force of the Rinan tribe's army, the situation on other battlefields would not have been able to open up. In this battle, the general took the greatest credit!" Liu Yuande did not hesitate to praise him.

Wu Yi looked calm and restrained the enemy's main force. It was clear that the opponent wanted to surround the point for reinforcements. As a result, his own reinforcements were delayed and the Rinan army waited in vain.

Speaking of containing the opponent, Wu Yi could still say this when he was fighting guerrillas. When he was trapped in Tianlang City, Wu Yi really didn't have the face to say that he had contained the enemy's main force.

But these are not important anymore, because the dynasty needs a hero, a hero who is tenacious and unyielding, a hero who is still stubborn and unyielding even when the enemy is dozens of times more powerful.

This is a political need. As for the facts, this kind of thing is just a matter of propaganda caliber.

If you haven't understood it yet, you can think about the saying of the winner and the loser. Since you are the king, everything you do is right. Even some shady things can be washed away.

If nothing unexpected happens, everyone in the city will receive generous rewards.
