()ps: I sincerely thank my favorite Miku girl for her monthly vote~~~~

With a bang, the hall exploded! Everyone looked shocked, and their original leisurely and lazy appearance disappeared in an instant!

"What should we do? My Du family is going to be in trouble!"

"I hope my ancestors will bless me and bring back the Qin army commander and Lord Jie!"

"Hmph! There must be someone who is colluding with the Qin army. We must investigate it strictly and kill one to serve as a warning to others!",

Looking at the panic-stricken house chiefs below, Du Hong felt inexplicably irritated. When did this happen? You are still talking in vain!

Du Hong pressed his hands and said with a stern face: "Okay, everyone, calm down! Although I sent people to hunt down, the distance from my Dushiwu Fort to Weicheng is only sixty miles. Once the Qin army escapes Weicheng, the consequences will be

It is unimaginable, we must prepare for the worst, tell us what countermeasures you have, the situation is urgent now, please speak freely, don't hold back!"

One person raised his hand and said: "Master Lang, since we have sent troops to hunt down, there is no point in hurrying here. We can only wait for the news to come. However, we must find out the spy who colluded with the Qin army! This is the end of it.

Well, there is a thief who has eaten the inside and outside, and he will definitely be found and soaked in the pig cage!"

Du Hong's anger shot up to the top of his head again. Damn it, I asked you to come up with countermeasures. Look? What does this mean? It's completely wrong!

Du Hong felt that he was already showing signs of going berserk, so he quickly took a few deep breaths, holding back his anger and said: "The enemy has to investigate, so I will leave this matter to you. Since Lord Jie arrived, he left the fort and went out.

All vehicles must be checked, especially in the past three days.

The key point, especially the housekeepers and deacons, should be arrested and tortured if there is anything suspicious!" Then, with a sharp glance, he continued: "Put aside the internal affairs in advance. If the Qin army comes to attack, what will I, Du, do?

Coping? Everyone has to say it!”

There was silence for a while. After a short while, a cold snort came: "What will happen even if the Qin army comes to attack? The walls of my Du's Fort are thick and thick, and there is sufficient food and grass. How can I sustain it for several months? Please be careful.

Forgot, Guanzhong will be in Guanzhong for at most two months

There will be heavy rains. When the time comes, the Hussars will definitely launch a large-scale attack, and the siege of our Du family will be lifted immediately! Maybe we can cover up the Qin army for a while while it is retreating, and it is not impossible to achieve great success! Therefore, I, the Du family, should be high in the ditch and deep in the ditch.

Fortress, guard and defend to the death!"

"Inappropriate!" As soon as the words fell, another person immediately objected: "It is said that the Qin army had fire bombs in their hands, which were extremely sharp. The Hussars general was defeated in Jianzhang Palace last time. He was defeated by fire bombs. If the Qin army had

If you throw this thing into my castle, how can I, Du, be able to defend it?"

As soon as these words came out, the buzzing sound in the hall sounded again, and Du Hong also frowned tightly in a Sichuan shape. He asked downwards: "Do you have any magic tricks to defeat the Qin army's artillery bombs?"

Everyone looked at each other, not even Shihu. What can we do? It took a long time for someone to say uncertainly: "Master Lang, for this plan, the only way is to use the cavalry to attack from the fort and destroy the Qin army's stone throws."

Machine. This may have some effect."

Du Hong almost jumped up and scolded his mother. His face was extremely ugly. Isn't this nonsense? How many cavalry do we have in our fort? Three thousand at most! The Qin army has tens of thousands. Not too many. They only need five thousand cavalry.

Come here, how can you destroy his trebuchet?

Others also thought of this and retorted one after another. Another person hesitated and said: "I have no chance of winning against the Qin State with only the strength of my Du family. In my opinion, it is better to send people who are good at talking to other people."

The surname asked for help, explaining the principle of both prosperity and loss, and at the same time, he sent someone to explain the situation to the Hussars General and asked him to send troops to contain the Qin army."

Du Hong shook his head without thinking: "It only takes three hours to travel from Dushiwu Fort to Chang'an with light cavalry. Even if the King of Qin sends troops tomorrow, they will be here within a day or two. Do you think the reinforcements can arrive in time?"

? And asking General Hussar for rescue is even more nonsense. There are hundreds of thousands of the two armies facing each other. How can we start the war without more than 70% certainty? How can General Hussar send troops to attack the Qin army specially for my Du family? "

As these words fell, the hall fell into silence for the second time. There was no way around it, the gap in strength was an obstacle that could not be bypassed.

"Could we just wait to die?" Seeing that no one was speaking to offer advice, Du Hong almost shouted and urged.

It took a long time before someone raised his hand and said: "Master Lang, if the Qin army comes to attack, my Du family will definitely fall. I didn't agree with colluding with the Jie thieves at the beginning, but I spoke so softly that Master Lang and you all can't listen to it. Now the plan is

, we can only take advantage of the fact that the Qin army has not yet arrived, and ask Master Lang to go to Chang'an in person to plead guilty to the King of Qin. Maybe the King of Qin can be merciful and not pursue my Du family, please consider it."

"You!" Du Hong was furious for a moment! Although this man didn't say it explicitly, the implication was very obvious. He wanted to use himself as a scapegoat to preserve the clan. How could this be done?

Just as Du Hong was about to get angry, another voice of approval came: "This is also the last resort, even though I have wronged Master Lang." Just as he was speaking, the man's voice suddenly stopped. It turned out that Du Hong's fiery eyes were

she gave out a strong

The murderous intention made him mute immediately, and he quickly changed his words: "We are in a hurry here. Maybe the men sent outside the fort can catch up with the Qin army's elite. It's better to wait and see, maybe there will be something good."

Where's the news?"

After these words, the hall fell into complete silence, and no one had any tricks left. Du Hong glanced at everyone one by one. Everyone he caught lowered their heads and did not dare to look at them.

Du Hong suddenly felt powerless. He could kill one or two people to establish his authority, but when all the house chiefs wanted to push him out as a scapegoat, what could he do? He couldn't kill everyone.

Just then, before the Qin army came to attack, the fortress immediately fell into chaos.

After a long while, Du Hong waved his hand: "Forget it, if there is no news at this time tomorrow, we will make other plans. While there is still time, everyone can think of any good ways to save him.

I, the Du family, are all gone now."

All the house chiefs looked at Du Hong with a hint of meaningfulness in their eyes, then they cupped their hands one after another and left the table quickly.

Watching everyone's backs gradually disappear from sight, Du Hong suddenly seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed softly on the floor.

Just when he was in confusion, a middle-aged beautiful woman came out of the back hall and said worriedly: "Du Lang, what should we do? If we can't find the Qin army's elite, then we will be dead."

One? You should think of a solution quickly!"

"That's enough!" Du Hong roared suddenly!

With this loud roar, the depression condensed in Du Hong's chest eased a little, and then he said with a hint of apology: "As of now, we can only depend on God's will. If there is still no news before dawn tomorrow

, then we have only one way to go, abandon the fort and

Escape and go to Jiangdong to join our clan. That’s it, you first pack up your belongings and make preparations, and don’t tell anyone including our clan for the time being, so as not to cause panic. If you have to leave as a last resort, we will inform you later.”
