"You came."

Hao Daozong lay on the bed and said to Wu Xiong who came in in a gentle tone.

"coming."

Wu Xiong also replied calmly.

The two seem to be friends who haven't seen each other for many years, and the moment they meet is full of tacit understanding.

In fact, the two of them have not known each other for a long time, and they only met for the first time half a month ago.

After that meeting, this is their second meeting.

Hao Daozong had already learned about the battle situation outside through the mouth of his loyal generals.

At this time, it is useless to conceal. Even considering Hao Daozong's physical factors, those people have to tell Hao Daozong the truth.

They found that Wu Xiong could not solve the rebellion, and could only pin their hopes on Hao Daozong.

Although Hao Daozong was not able to stop the Divine Guard Army, the Shun Army still fought a few good battles under Hao Daozong's command in the early days of the war. Although they did not win completely, they did not suffer a loss either.

Otherwise, why did Gong Yi stay in Anping County for so long.

It's not that the Shun Army's army in Cheng'an County blocked his attack.

It wasn't until Ma Teng, Li Ye, and later Yang Yuan, Zhao Long and others launched a surprise attack from the rear and sides that Gong Yi opened up the Shun army's defense.

Then there was the unstoppable defeat of the Shun Army, and Hao Daozong had no choice but to fall ill in bed.

The arrival of Wu Xiong gave Shun generals hope. They thought Wu Xiong would bring supplies and reinforcements.

It was later discovered that there was nothing, and he could not lead the Shun army to defeat the Shenwei army or even resist the attack of the Shenwei army.

So several Shun generals were completely disappointed in him.

Some of them thought of Hao Daozong's goodness again, and joined Hao Shuai's command again, and some of them were completely desperate for this war, and other thoughts arose in their hearts.

At that time, Hao Daozong had anticipated today's scene. He didn't know it would be today, but he knew that Wu Xiong would definitely come back to see him.

Hao Daozong waited for Wu Xiong to sit down, sighed deeply, and said, "Hey! You came earlier than I thought."

This is not a good thing.

At least in Hao Daozong's speculation, the sooner Wu Xiong came, the result tended to be what he didn't want to see.

Wu Xiong was silent after listening, he didn't know how to answer Hao Daozong's words, he had a premonition that Hao Daozong already knew his purpose of coming.

Is this a good thing?

It's good to know, so as not to be difficult to export.

Wu Xiong is still not shameless enough, to put it bluntly, he is both acting and standing.

If Hao Daozong really guessed what he was thinking, he would be quite happy.

If Hao Daozong can take the initiative to propose and cooperate with him, Wu Xiong is still willing to save his life.

Anyway, he won't live long like this.

If Wu Xiong killed Hao Daozong, it would add a lot of trouble.

But Hao Daozong didn't cooperate with him as Wu Xiong thought.

Seeing Wu Xiong was silent, Hao Daozong didn't speak anymore.

Wu Xiong's expression became embarrassing, and then he became angry.

He felt that Hao Daozong did it on purpose, deliberately not speaking to embarrass him.

What do I care about with a sick old man?

Wu Xiong comforted himself in his heart, he should display the virtue of respecting the elderly.

"Hao Shuai, the county can no longer be defended, I can't let all the elite of the imperial court be buried here..."

Speaking of this, Wu Xiong paused for a moment, "Hao Shuai should support me, right?"

After Wu Xiong finished speaking, he stared at Hao Daozong with burning eyes, hoping to hear the answer he wanted to hear from Hao Daozong.

There was no trace of tension or anger on Hao Daozong's face, and the calm expression made people wonder what he was thinking.

But certainly not happy.

After a long time, Hao Daozong said slowly: "What if I don't support it?"

In fact, he already had a decision in his heart, but he still wanted to ask Wu Xiong.

Wu Xiong no longer hesitated at this moment, and said decisively: Hao Shuai, you wouldn't want me to do that. "

The murderous intent in his tone lowered the temperature in the room a lot.

Hao Daozong didn't seem to feel it, he still lay peacefully on the bed without saying a word.

Wu Xiong: "Why bother? You should understand that no matter whether you cooperate or not, I will continue my plan. Why use your life to fight against me?"

Wu Xiong knew that Hao Daozong understood his situation at this time, and knew what to do was the wisest choice, but he couldn't guarantee that Hao Daozong would choose the most sensible way.

It doesn't look like him now.

Wu Xiong felt ruthless in his heart, if he really doesn't know how to flatter, then don't blame me for being cruel!

Wu Xiong is not a weak scholar, he can fight the enemy with a knife and gun, not to mention Hao Daozong who is lying on the bed, even the healthy Hao Daozong is not his opponent.

So Wu Xiong could kill Hao Daozong without calling in his subordinates from outside.

This also avoids letting others see the scene of Hao Daozong's death, which is convenient for Wu Xiong's next operation.

Wu Xiong wouldn't give Hao Daozong too much time, if Hao Daozong didn't make the choice he wanted before his patience ran out, Wu Xiong was going to send him back to the west.

Hao Daozong's performance made Wu Xiong feel that he would choose to die and was ready to do it at any time.

But to his surprise, Hao Daozong chose to cooperate with him in the end.

Hao Daozong: "What do you want me to do?"

Hao Daozong guessed that Wu Xiong was going to escape, and even guessed that he would let him give the order, but what else?

Hao Daozong knew that he could not stop Wu Xiong, but he also had his own requirements.

After Wu Xiong said his request, Hao Daozong nodded and agreed.

Hao Daozong: "I can issue this military order~lightnovelpub.net~ but you can't take away all the generals and soldiers, they have the right to choose."

Wu Xiong thought for a moment before agreeing, who would want to stay and perish with Cheng'an County if he could survive?

With Hao Daozong around, those generals would not surrender easily.

This is also the reason why Wu Xiong is unwilling to kill Hao Dao. With him around, many troubles can be pushed to him, but for Hao Daozong, these troubles may not be considered troublesome.

To put it bluntly, Wu Xiong didn't have enough control over the Shunjun generals under his opponents, and he didn't have as much prestige as Hao Daozong.

Regarding Wu Xiong's confident performance, Hao Daozong did not deny it, but a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Wu Xiong did not let Hao Daozong meet with the generals of the Shun Army, but asked the old servant who brought him in to pass on the military order for Hao Daozong.

The content of the military order is roughly that Hao Shuai already knew that the county city could not be defended. He decided to preserve his vitality and let some soldiers and horses be led by Wu Shuai to break out of the siege, while the rest of the troops and horses were led by him to defend the county city and attract the firepower of the guards.

Except for Wu Shuai's designation, all the generals can freely choose whether to follow Wu Xiong to break through or stay and defend the county with Hao Daozong.

After hearing this, the generals had their own thoughts. Some of them already knew about today's meeting. It should be said that most of the generals knew about today's meeting.

Regardless of whether the Shun generals who took refuge in Wu Xiong or Hao Daozong received instructions from their respective coaches, today's meeting was just a formality.

So the meeting ended quickly, and even if some generals didn't know it, they were drawn to one of them by the generals who had good friends with them.

Soon, the generals all made their choices.

Including the four generals in the outer city, a total of seven generals chose to stay.

There are a few fewer than Hao Daozong imagined, but he can also understand that people's desire to survive is stronger than any will!
