Chapter 681
In a wilderness of mountains and woods, a group of people ran breathlessly. They occasionally looked back as they trudged onwards.
This was the trail of Song Bokang and his companions who had escaped from Liangzhou City. The group consisted of Song Bokang's family and various civil and military officials from the city.
In fact, when they escaped from Liangzhou City, Song Bokang was not entirely averse to seeking refuge in either Jincheng, Wuwei, or Haojia. He considered rallying his forces to reclaim the land he had lost.
The reason he didn't was fear. Liangzhou City sat right on the border between Liangzhou and Jingzhou. Had he retreated further inland, he would have been at risk of being captured by Cheng Dalei's troops. The likely outcome of such a capture would certainly not be favorable...
Thus, between regrouping or fleeing for his life, Song Bokang chose the latter.
Life is the most important thing. If life is lost, everything is lost.
