? Hanhai Dynasty, Jiangzhou.
"Quickly, move all the arrows to the top of the city!"
"You guys took people over there, demolished all the houses for me, and sent the bricks to the top of the city!"
The city of Jiangzhou was busy, and a large number of temporarily recruited people were moving bundles of arrows and other anti-enemy supplies to the city.
Hanhai soldiers in military uniforms are also guarding everywhere at the head of the city, but they are sparse and not many.
Song Liwen, the defense officer of Jiangzhou City, patrolled everywhere with a serious face, checking the situation of the city defense.
The army of the Freedom Alliance crossed the sea and attacked Haizhou, and captured the entire territory of Haizhou in a short period of time.
After the news spread, it can be said that the whole country of Han Hai was shocked. They never thought that the Liberty Alliance would attack them.
However, the Freedom Alliance was coming fiercely, and the people of Hanhai all over the country rushed to flee their homes, so that the cities and towns along the coast were full of refugee waves.
Jiangzhou is adjacent to Haizhou. With the fall of Haizhou, Jiangzhou will face the front of the Freedom Alliance army.
As the new garrison envoy of Jiangzhou City, Song Liwen also felt great pressure.
He wanted to escape Jiangzhou with those civil officials for various reasons, but he didn't dare.
Because an order has been passed down from the Wangcheng side, requiring all cities to be strictly guarded, even if it is the last soldier in the battle, there is no order to retreat, and those who retreat without permission will be killed!
Those civil servants with background connections can still escape, even if the court pursues them, they will at most be dismissed from office, and they may be reactivated soon.
But Song Liwen didn't dare to escape, because he didn't have any background, once he abandoned the city and fled, he would not be able to escape to death.
Moreover, Song Liwen was just a little-known junior officer of the Jiangzhou City garrison team a day ago, taking over the role of the new garrison envoy who had resigned due to a sudden illness.
? When he was first promoted to be the garrison envoy of Jiangzhou City, Song Liwen was still happy for a while. He felt that his family's ancestral grave was smoking, and it was finally a glorious lintel.
Who knew that when he first took office as a garrison envoy, he encountered a massive attack from the Freedom Alliance.
He even suspected that those high-ranking officials knew about the invasion of the Freedom Alliance long ago, and he was just temporarily promoted to serve as a substitute for the dead ghost.
However, he is now a garrison envoy, and all the records have been sent to Wangcheng, so he dare not escape even if he wants to.
Thinking of what happened to him, the newly appointed garrison envoy was also in a bad mood.
Now there are only 300 soldiers and 500 young men temporarily recruited in the entire Jiangzhou City, and he has no confidence in whether he can hold Jiangzhou.
"My lord, I have a visitor asking to see you."
When the garrison officer Song Liwen inspected the city defense and returned to the yamen, he just sat down when a soldier came in to report.
"What guest?" Song Liwen asked.
"It's the president of the Jiangzhou branch of the Datong Chamber of Commerce."
"Ask him to come in."
Hearing that it was the president of the Datong Chamber of Commerce seeking to see him, Song Liwen, the defense envoy, did not dare to neglect.
We must know that the Datong Chamber of Commerce has a lot of influence in the Hanhai Empire, and its industries are spread all over the states. Even the president of a small town is also a guest of officials from all over the country.
In the past, Song Liwen was only a small military officer, and he had nothing to do with these people who had a lot of hands and eyes, but he just envied their life of spending money like rain.
Now such a person did not escape from Jiangzhou, which was about to be caught in the flames of war, but instead visited him, which made him sigh. This powerful position is really extraordinary.
If he had been that little officer in the past, let alone meeting him, he would never have seen such a character.
Soon, a wealthy middle-aged man was invited to the living room of the Garrison Mansion.
"Grassman Ding Kang, I have met Master Song. Congratulations to Master Song for being promoted to the garrison envoy."
Ding Kang, the branch president of the Datong Chamber of Commerce, had a warm smile on his face, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, and he was a compliment to the defense envoy Song Liwen.
"Thank you very much."
Seeing the other party warmly congratulating himself and presenting a gift list, he glanced at the items on the gift list from the corner of his eye, and the defense officer Song Liwen also jumped in his heart, and immediately covered up his shock.
"I don't know what happened to President Ding?"
After each other sat down, the defense envoy Song Liwen asked.
"My lord's eyes are as bright as a torch, and the grass-roots people really have important matters to discuss with you." Ding Kang smirked.After taking a sip of tea, he said.
"Chairman Ding, if you have something to say, I can help, so naturally I won't stand idly by."
Song Liwen also saw the heavy gift list just now, so he has a good impression of Ding Kang.
"It's just that this matter is confidential, please stand back, sir." Ding Kang looked at the soldiers standing at the door and said with a smile.
"It's easy to talk about."
Song Liwen didn't know what medicine was sold in his gourd, so he nodded and sent the soldiers away.
"President Ding, it's just the two of us, can we talk now?" Seeing the mysterious Ding Kang, Song Liwen said with a smile.
"To be honest, the grassroots are also entrusted by others, and I hope that adults will help me with important matters."
"What's the matter?"
"I hope that my lord will not engage in unnecessary resistance and surrender to the Freedom Alliance." Ding Kang stared at Song Liwen and said word by word.
"Bold!"
After hearing Ding Kang's words, Song Liwen was also shocked, stood up suddenly, and slapped the table.
He is the newly appointed garrison envoy of Jiangzhou City, and now Ding Kang wants him to surrender, how can he not be angry.
"My lord, please calm down. As long as your lord agrees to the conditions, you will naturally not treat your lord badly." Ding Kang saw Song Liwen standing up angrily, and he was still sitting there calmly, smiling all over his face.
"At that time, I can give you fifty gold bars and five night pearls" Ding Kang unhurriedly threw out his benefits.
"As an official of the imperial court, I eat the salary of the imperial court. How can I be a traitor and betray the imperial court"
"One hundred gold bars."
"You should die! I'll have someone behead you traitor right now!"
"Three hundred gold bars." Ding Kang stretched out his finger.
"I"
"They have all escaped, why should my lord stay here as a substitute for the dead, the Liberty Alliance army has hundreds of thousands, and the hundreds of people in Jiangzhou are nothing more than gnats shaking trees."
"And to tell you the truth, there are many people in Jiangzhou City who have already taken our money."
"Five hundred gold bars, I will open the city and surrender!"
Song Liwen thought for a while with a cloudy complexion, and suddenly stretched out five fingers.
"Your Excellency, let's make a deal!"
After hearing Song Liwen's words, Ding Kang was also taken aback, and then burst out laughing.
"You guys are not lying to me, are you? I must see the gold bars before opening the city!"
"Don't worry, my lord, the Liberty Alliance lacks everything, except money, and the gold bars will be delivered to my lord later." Ding Kang said with a smile.
"Okay, that's it." Song Liwen nodded.
Ding Kang didn't expect it to be so smooth, but it saved him a lot of things.
If Song Liwen did not agree, he would have bribed more than a dozen low-level military officers, and he would be able to act then, but it would be a lot of trouble.
Now that Song Liwen, the top executive left behind, has been bribed, the army of the Freedom Alliance can enter the city without any effort.
When Song Liwen and Ding Kang reached a deal, the same scene was happening in many cities in Hanhai. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
