Chapter 1255 No Other Choice

Mistaken?

Oolong?

Really no Nanping army came to attack Yangyu Pass?

A series of thoughts emerged in Zhao Guangzhi's mind.

In fact, after searching Yangyu Pass and not finding any traces of Nanping people, Zhao Guangzhi did think that he was wrong. There was no Nanping army attacking the city. It was just that he and his soldiers were too nervous, which led to the error of judgment.

If it was before, Zhao Guangzhi would be very happy to know that there was no Nanping army attacking the city, because, in that case, his Yangyu Pass would not be in danger, and he himself would be safe. He didn't think that the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Peng Chuan were defeated in Shanling Pass, and he could defeat the morale-boosted Nanping army in Yangyu Pass.

In his heart, Zhao Guangzhi was not confident, so he was so nervous and worried about the attack of Nanping. If Nanping didn't attack, it would be the best.

But now Zhao Guangzhi didn't feel any joy in his heart. In fact, he was not happy at all, but was a little scared and panicked. He even hoped that the army of Nanping Kingdom would really attack.

All this was because of the letters for help he had sent to Linshui City through the flying messenger before!

Zhao Guangzhi thought that the army of Nanping Kingdom had attacked. With the combat effectiveness of the garrison in Yangyu Pass, he didn't think he could stop the attack of Nanping Kingdom. Therefore, he sent a call for help to Linshui City at the first time. Moreover, in order to attract Qi Feng's attention, he sent not one but several letters for help. The letters for help were naturally not sent together, but one every one or two hours. Moreover, the content of the letters for help was more urgent than the other, giving Qi Feng a feeling that if no reinforcements were sent, Yangyu Pass would be breached at any time.

If the army of Nanping Kingdom really attacked, then the letters for help he sent would naturally be no problem. In fact, because they were sent in time, they could save the situation of Yangyu Pass.

But now, Yangyuguan may not have been attacked by Nanping State. He was too nervous and made a mistake. If this is true, then the letters for help he sent to Linshui City are all fake!

Sending false information to the emperor, and even writing multiple letters in a row, is a crime of deceiving the emperor!

It is a crime that can be punished by death!

With such serious consequences, how can Zhao Guangzhi not be panicked at this time?

"General, what should we do now?" asked another general.

Not only Zhao Guangzhi thought of the seriousness of this matter, but other generals also understood that if Zhao Guangzhi was the main culprit, then they were all accomplices. Qi Feng might even deal with them together in anger.

"General, why don't we tell His Majesty, maybe it's not too late."

"No! We sent too many letters for help before, His Majesty must have made some decisions. Now, if we tell him that Yangyu Pass was not attacked, what will His Majesty think?"

"Yes, His Majesty has been in a bad mood recently. If he knows that we deceived him, he will definitely not let us go."

"But we didn't mean it."

"Your Majesty doesn't think so."

......

Before Zhao Guangzhi spoke, other generals had already expressed their opinions. Although their ideas were different, they had one thing in common: everyone was worried that His Majesty would charge them with deceiving the emperor. If that happened, they would all be finished.

"Okay, stop talking!" Zhao Guangzhi was already upset, and when he heard what these generals said, his face turned pale.

Everyone immediately shut up and looked at Zhao Guangzhi, wanting to see what decision he had made.

"You can't tell the truth to His Majesty." Zhao Guangzhi said. He wrote the letter and he knew very well what he had exaggerated in the letter. If His Majesty knew that everything was false, he was not sure whether other people would be implicated, but he would definitely not be able to escape.

"But..."

"No buts!" Zhao Guangzhi said firmly: "Your Majesty must not know about this, otherwise, none of us will be able to escape!"

Zhao Guangzhi's words were obviously threatening everyone. He needed everyone to stand on the same front with him.

Everyone was startled, and someone said: "If His Majesty sends reinforcements, we don't need to report it at that time, and those reinforcements will find that there is no army of Nanping here at all."

Yes, they can not report it, but the reinforcements have no reason to stand with them.

Once the reinforcements arrive, their lies will be broken.

"This situation will not happen." Zhao Guangzhi said, "Because we do have Nanping's army besieging us."

"What your Excellency means is..."

"If there is no Nanping army coming, we will 'transform' Nanping's army!" Zhao Guangzhi said.

"Transform?"

"Yes!" Zhao Guangzhi said, "We will find someone to pretend to be Nanping's army."

"Pretend?!" Everyone was shocked.

"General, if we are found out, we will all lose our heads."

"Yes, we can't do this, we can't do this!"

After reacting, everyone refuted that finding someone to pretend to be Nanping's army would make things worse. Once they were found out, they would never be able to escape.

"Do we have any other options?" Zhao Guangzhi looked at everyone and said, "No! We only have this one option! When the reinforcements arrive, they must see the army of Nanping!"

"General, we can write another letter to His Majesty, saying that the army of Nanping was defeated by us, and we can just hold Yangyu Pass. There is no need to take risks." One of the generals said.

"Yes, yes, in this way, not only will we not be punished, but we may even be rewarded."

"No." Zhao Guangzhi shook his head and said, "I said in the letter that the army of Nanping Kingdom has 400,000 to 500,000 people. With the strength of our Yangyu Pass garrison, it is difficult to defend here. As for defeating so many troops in a short time, it is impossible. Your Majesty is not that stupid."

This......

Everyone looked at each other. They didn't expect that Zhao Guangzhi was so exaggerated in the letter. With 400,000 to 500,000 troops, Nanping Kingdom has almost exhausted all its strength. In addition, Nanping Kingdom has just won the battle of Shanling Pass. It is a time of high morale. With the strength of their Yangyu Pass garrison, it is indeed impossible to defeat them. It is a blessing to be able to defend here.

"So, we have no other choice." Zhao Guangzhi looked at everyone and said solemnly: "We can only find someone to pretend to be the army of Nanping Kingdom to get through this difficult time!"
