Under their hard work, the old man said the price of victory in the end.
This price is to kill the starry building without leaving a single soldier.
That is to say, all those who fought in the Star Zhailou would die on the battlefield.
As soon as these words were said, the two immediately packed their things and went back.
However, the old man did not agree, saying that this was what Northern Tang had to experience.
Yu Wenxiao yelled at his father-in-law for the first time, "Everyone is dead, how can we still win? The country is destroyed."
The old man was startled for a moment, unable to accept that the humble son-in-law suddenly shouted, slapped him on the head and said: "The country did not destroy, the shadow captured the enemy general, the enemy army was leaderless and was scattered, of course, In the end, the shadow was captured by Bei Mo, slashed with a thousand swords and died, and his bones were smashed to ashes after his death."
Luoman burst into tears, she and Yu Wenxiao couldn't accept this result, Hei Ying was from Zhaixinglou, and even if he wanted to die, he should have starved to death.
They are going back, they must go back.
But the old man just disagreed, saying that their mission had been completed, and that battle had damaged Bei Mo's military and national strength, so that Northern Tang could survive this ultimate battle.
But the process to go still has to go.
Luo Man went on a hunger strike, Yu Wenxiao smashed the old man's house, held many animals hostage to force the old man, and finally was bitten by the animal on the buttocks and went to the hospital to beat the rabid dog.
Perhaps they were too tossed and ruined the quiet and peaceful years of the old man. Finally, the old man let go and said that they could go back, but it also came at a price, that is, they had to endure poverty in this life, and they were poorer than before. the poor.
But what is poverty to them? are used to it.
And the most important point is that when they go back this time, they have to borrow the troops of other countries. They are obliged to maintain the balance of not aggressing countries in the future, so they need to be busy everywhere, and they will be like this all their lives.
Luoman didn't know much about the current situation of the Northern Tang Dynasty, so he asked, "Why use the troops of other countries?"
This question brought a shudder, "As long as there are soldiers, horses, food, weapons and equipment, will the Northern Tang Dynasty be so tragic?"
Luo Man's heart is about to be broken, and the situation is more serious than she expected.
"Go on your way, think about where to borrow troops and how to persuade others. I have a little suggestion. Go to Da Zhou to try your luck first."
The old man was still very kind, and he stuffed Yu Wenxiao with a bank note, saying that he would have to travel to Dazhou after returning, and he even had to check with Dazhou officials.
Yu Wenxiao was holding the silver note, it was just that amount, and he even managed officials.
But he didn't dare to contradict the old man again, for fear that he would go back on his word and not let them go back.
In this way, they took the strong man to the tragic and solemn life of poverty, and climbed up from the mirror lake.
I grabbed a random person and asked about the current situation. The situation is indeed more serious than what my father-in-law said. With continuous wars, the people are so poor, and the food is in short supply to the point of starvation.
They did not return to Beijing, but went to Dazhou.
However, there were no horses everywhere, and all the folk horses were recruited to the battlefield. They could only spend money to buy two mules to travel.
Fortunately, after running the mules for two days, they found two old horses. Although they were said to be older, they looked better than mules.
They bought old horses and went a little faster.
Along the way, he was so worried, Yu Wenxiao still had to think about rhetoric and let Da Zhou borrow troops.
There is a saying in the ancients that the emergency does not help the poor. The Northern Tang Dynasty was poor and impoverished, and it seemed that it would be difficult to restore national strength in a short time. If you borrow it, you may not be able to get it back.
Therefore, whether Da Zhou is willing to be this creditor is unknown.
If Da Zhou didn't borrow it and waited for them to go to other countries, then maybe they could only help Hei Ying collect the corpse, no, collect the ashes.
When they arrived at Da Zhou, they were already ragged and disheveled.
Now it's impossible to enter the capital of Dazhou like this. Anyway, I even took out the tokens, but the city gate of Dazhou just won't let people go.
In a hurry, they took the city gate guard hostage, which alarmed Jingzhao Mansion, that is, they directly took the blame.
At this time, they took out the token, and they believed it, opened a VIP channel, and sent them to the emperor and the empress dowager.
The couple lived in the palace for three days, and they had enough to eat and drink.
A heart was about to burn, so he almost knelt down in front of them and begged them to borrow soldiers.
These were the most tormenting days in their lives. They knew that if they dispatched troops one day later, many more people would be killed and injured.
On the morning of the fourth day, Da Zhou was finally willing to talk about borrowing soldiers and negotiate conditions.
But no matter what the conditions, even if they were asked to come back after the war and hand over their heads, they were willing.
