Chapter 527: Choice

Turning off the holographic screen, Wang Weiwei put the bracelet on her wrist again.

Without saying anything more, Wang Weiwei took a deep look at her husband, turned around and left.

Looking at his wife's leaving figure, Chen Xiong was speechless. After a long time, a sigh echoed in the room.

The corps commanders in Shangyang City did not keep Chen Xiong waiting. In less than fifteen minutes, the door to the room was opened, and Lu Hu and his party of five hurriedly walked in.

The expressions on the faces of the five people were solemn. Although they had conflicts among themselves, today, they all have a common enemy. Today, they are all companions and stand on the same front.

Looking at the five silent people standing in front of the table, Chen Xiong spoke up: "You should all know the matter. Surrender or war, this is the choice given to us by Black Flag City. We can only choose one of the two. You are all Shangyang City’s corps commanders, and I need your opinions.”

Lu Hu, He Chengzhou, Wu Dehou, Jiang Chengze, and Zhou Feihu, these five corps commanders represent the five major families in Shangyang City. These five major families and the city lord formed a stable power level.

In terms of clothing, the five of them were all similar. They were all wearing brown military coats and cotton hats.

Zhou Feihu said: "They came to ask us to surrender, and we surrendered? The dozens of cannons on the city wall are not just for nothing. If we mobilize the whole city, we can also raise an army of 50,000 people. It may not be impossible. The ability to fight, Shangyang City is our home, we cannot let outsiders enslave us. "

In response to Zhou Feihu's words, the other four people looked at each other and exchanged opinions with each other with their eyes.

Lu Hu said: "There is no need to fight. If you climb the city wall, you will know what Black Flag City has. It is a battleship that can fly in the air. The gap is too big and the possibility of victory is zero. "

He Chengzhou was not satisfied with Lu Hu's words and said coldly: "Lu Hu, why bother to inflate the morale of others and destroy your own prestige? No matter how strong they are, they will not launch an indiscriminate bombardment on Shangyang City. Otherwise, they will conquer What’s the point here? If they want to conquer Shangyang City, they can defeat us on the ground now.”

Wu Dehou on the side frowned slightly and said solemnly: "If there is no possibility of victory, why fight? I would rather surrender than let my soldiers die."

Speaking of this, Wu Dehou said to Chen Xiong who was sitting behind the desk: "City Lord, we need to know what you mean."

Hehehe smiled, and Jiang Chengze, who was beside Lu Hu, said: "If the city lord planned to fight, he would not seek our opinion. If the city lord planned to fight, he would have already been doing general mobilization for the war, instead of wasting time with us here. Hours, time is running out.”

Chen Xiong did not refute Jiang Chengze's words. He glanced at the five people one by one and said in a deep voice: "If I ask you to put down your weapons and surrender to Black Flag City together, will you be willing?"

Facing Chen Xiong's gaze, the expressions on the five people's faces changed.

"City Lord, I listen to you."

The speaker was Wu Dehou, who looked at Chen Xiong who was sitting behind the desk.

Chen Xiong nodded to Wu Dehou and looked at the other four people.

After a short silence, Lu Hu spoke up: "City Lord, I also listen to you."

Seeing that Lu Hu and Wu Dehou were closely following the footsteps of the city lord, He Chengzhou, Zhou Feihu, and Jiang Chengze looked at each other.

Looking at the city lord, Jiang Chengze said expressionlessly: "Since the city lord has chosen this path, we have nothing to say, but I hope the city lord will not stop us. We will leave Shangyang City, except for the army and soldiers. We will not take anyone away except family members.”

He Chengzhou and Zhou Feihu looked at each other and nodded tacitly in their hearts.

Zhou Feihu said to Chen Xiong: "I hope the city lord will do it. Otherwise, we can only let the war let the city lord know our determination. Even if the city lord forces us to stay here, it doesn't matter. Members of our family will take our place."

The military power of the five major families does not belong to any one person, but to the family.

There was no immediate response from Zhou Feihu, so Chen Xiong looked at He Chengzhou.

Facing Chen Xiong's gaze, He Chengzhou said solemnly: "I choose to leave."

Two people stayed and three left. This result made Chen Xiong sigh.

If he could go to Yangcheng completely, he might not need to listen to the opinions of these corps commanders.

But he can't do it now. As Zhou Feihu said, there is no use in detaining these regiment leaders. They may have already arranged their escape before entering the city lord's palace.

Looking over the three of them one by one, Chen Xiong said: "Since you have chosen the path you want to take, I won't force it. However, although the world outside is big, where can you go?"

Zhou Feihu replied: "The circle of Shancheng people is not big. I think we will all go to Qingcheng."

Qingcheng?

Hearing this, Chen Xiong understood.

It seemed that the three of them had already discussed it before entering the city lord's mansion.

Qingcheng is the closest to Shangyang City, and the exchanges between the two cities are relatively frequent. Among all the mountain cities, Qingcheng has the strongest industrial capacity and has certain heavy industry capabilities. It can not only produce its own airships, but also produce some heavy equipment. , most of the homeless mobile towns come from Qingcheng.

If the three of them took the army to defect, they would indeed be put to good use.

He stood up and looked around the crowd. Chen Xiong said in a deep voice: "It's a good time for everyone to get to know each other. Let's get together and part ways. Let the intrigues in the past disappear with the wind. Go ahead. You don't have much time left."

Without saying much, Zhou Feihu, He Chengzhou, and Jiang Chengze nodded to Chen Xiong, and turned and left in a hurry. They had to leave here before the city lord surrendered to Black Flag City, otherwise, they would not be able to leave.

As the three left, the room suddenly became quiet.

Walking out from behind the desk, Chen Xiong said, "Let's go, we'll go to the city wall."

Lu Hu and Wu Dehou looked at each other and followed the city lord.

In just one hour, a lot of things happened in Shangyang City.

The air defense alarm had disappeared at some point, and while the soldiers on the city wall were waiting in full battle array, there was chaos in the city, and the heavy city gate was slowly opened.

On the road behind the city gate, a long queue of snow trains lined up, waiting to leave the city.

As the city gate opened, with the rumbling sound of the engine, one snow train after another drove out of the city gate and entered the endless snowfield outside.

"Where are they going?"

"I don't know. They're not going to fight outside the city. Look at the roof of the train, it's full of luggage. It looks like moving house."

The soldiers on the city wall were talking and looking down at the snow train leaving the city.

At this time, in the bridge command room of the fleet's "Avenger" transport ship, Li Meng also saw the snow train moving at a snail's pace on the snow outside the city wall.

There were many of them, more than ten. The snow trains moving at a snail's pace on the snow were like a snake connected together, winding forward on the snow. Wherever they passed, snowflakes rolled, which was quite impressive.
