"How many river workers do we have now?" Dongbeier asked Huali.

"No less than six thousand people."

"Okay, it's time for us to have a showdown with Governor Zhang! Sister Xuan will stay in the town tomorrow to take care of trivial matters. Mr. Huali, tomorrow we will set off to Jianzhou to meet Governor Zhang!"

Early in the morning of the next day, the three of them set off on their journey. Now the war was in chaos, and everyone knew that the city of Jianzhou in northern Saibei was about to be lost to the Tatars, so they all returned to Anjun in advance to seek a living, along the official road

There was no one there, not even a tea stall. Dong Beier and Huali were saved from trouble. She simply transformed into a white fox and carried her husband on her back and ran towards Jianzhou City.

The three of them arrived at Jianzhou City in the afternoon. The south gate of Jianzhou City was under martial law. It was not until Hua Chenluo reported to his large-scale sergeants that they were allowed to enter the city. The city was no longer the bustling scene of the largest city in the northern part of the country, with many shops.

They have all gone out of business, and even the most prosperous commercial street in the past is now in a state of depression.

Along the way, Dong Beier carefully checked the garrison situation at various key passes in Jianzhou City. After a rough calculation, there were at most less than 10,000 garrison troops left in Jianzhou City. It seemed that they could not survive this year, let alone

This month has been difficult.

There were still rounds of artillery fire from the north and east gates. The Tatar offensive never stopped for a moment. Perhaps a Jianzhou sergeant would die every minute and second.

"Isn't Governor Zhang planning to retreat?" Hua Chenluo asked the sergeant escorting them to the Governor's camp.

"Not yet, our Commander-in-Chief has issued a death order. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy. Our Jianzhou defenders will live and die with Jianzhou City!" Presumably Commander-in-Chief Zhang would encourage these soldiers every day, or an ordinary

Xiaobing will not talk about Jianzhou's fate and say that he is ready to die.

There are only a few veterans guarding Dudu Zhang's tent. Most of the combat-effective sergeants have been sent by him to defend the city. Now he doesn't even have a single personal guard left by his side.

"Grand Governor, the playboy and his family in Saibei want to see you." The sergeant went in to report.

The doors and windows of Governor Zhang's tent were closed tightly, and not a trace of sunlight penetrated. As soon as Dong Beier walked in, she felt a vague air of death.

"Let them come in, you all go out, no one is allowed to come in without my order."

"Here!" Five or six veterans walked out of the tent, glanced at the three Hua family members, shook their heads helplessly, and left with a sigh.

"Madam, what happened to them? Do they know that the situation in Jianzhou City is over?" Hua Chenluo asked.

"I'm afraid the situation is much worse than my husband thought. You don't need to hide your words later. Say whatever you want. Remember, if there is anything else we need in Jianzhou City, just ask for it. Governor Zhang will definitely give it to you.

you!"

Although there were two candles still dimly lit in the tent, they could not cover up the strong anger at all. After they opened the tent door, a dazzling light came in, and they saw a handsome chair in the middle of the tent.

Governor Zhang sat slumped, with no color on his face. He was a soldier, and he was once a great hero who was feared by other Tatars. Even if his health deteriorated, he never left his armor, but the heavy armor weighed on him and he could no longer stand.

"Brother, please close the tent door so that I can't see the sun!" Captain Zhang weakly covered the sun with his hands.
