In the first battle of Zunhua, the Liao army was wiped out from Zhang Zhongwu down.

Deng Jingshan died on the spot, Zhang Zhongwu was captured, and the only senior general who missed the net was Fei Yu who led the cavalry to intercept Zhang Jia's department in Chengde, after a battle to the death, Fei Yu, who was defeated, broke out of the siege, and did not dare and could not escape back to Fei Yu in Zunhua, and fled directly into the desert.

And Zhang Jia, who personally led the troops, directly ordered the reorganized tribal cavalry to turn back to pursue the fleeing senior general, and he himself rushed to Zunhua with the elite cavalry of the right guard.

Zhang Jia and Ye Luyuan, who captured Jianchang, outflanked them from two directions, and captured all the remnants of the Liao army who escaped from the main battlefield in Zunhua.

At this point, the war in Liaodong has basically come to an end. Only Zhang Zhongwen, who is still stubbornly resisting in the corner of Yingzhou City, is no longer worried.

Liu Yan finally saw Deng Jingshan again.

However, at this time, Deng Jingshan only had one head left, which was still complete, and he could barely tell who this person was.

For Liu Yan, he finally got revenge, the Liu family was originally a world friend with Deng Jingshan, but in the end, in the face of power and wealth, friendship seems so vulnerable. The Liu clan was wiped out and Deng Jingshan was in the hands, and the only one who got rid was Liu Yan.

Now, he finally saw Deng Jingshan die in front of him.

Originally, Liu Yan also had the intention of punishing the Deng family, but over the years, his heart has changed a lot, especially after Yan Wu gave birth to a son and a daughter.

After things have such an ending, the decline of the Deng family has become a foregone conclusion, and he, hugging Li Ze's thigh, in the second half of his life, finally chose a correct path, and it is only a matter of time before the Liu family prospers again. What could be happier than having a thriving clan and a poor opponent being shot at the bottom of society?

If the Tang Dynasty wants to completely control the entire Liaodong, it is inevitable to liquidate the forces of the Liao King Zhang Zhongwu and his family in Liaodong, as the first general under Zhang Zhongwu, it is inevitable that the Deng family will be held accountable. Although they will not be punished by the clan, those important people in the clan will inevitably die, and there are some old and weak widows left, what kind of climate can they become?

After reading Deng Jingshan's head, Liu Yan found Zhang Zhongwu again.

The former overlord of one side, the ruler of Liaodong, has now become a prisoner of the Tang army.

Capturing Zhang Zhongwu alive is a great feat, in order to fear that this guy will seek death, Zhang Zhongwu was not only shackled, but there were also seven or eight big men sitting in every corner of the house.

However, in Liu Yan's opinion, Zhang Zhongwu does not seem to have any intention of seeking death. Although he has been reduced to a prisoner, this person's hair is still meticulously combed, and his clothes are newly changed, when Liu Yan walked into the door, this guy was sitting at the table drinking wine and eating meat, and it was Han Qi who accompanied him to eat and drink at the table.

Liu Yan's knife was confiscated outside the door, and it was obvious that everyone was also worried that Liu Yan would be carried away by hatred, so as soon as he entered the door, he pulled out his knife and slaughtered Zhang Zhongwu.

"Han Gong!" Liu Yan bowed to Han Qi.

Looking at Liu Yan's face full of anger, Han Qi smiled slightly: "Since General Liu is here, he must want to talk to the King of Liao alone, and it just so happens that I still have something to do, so I won't bother you to catch up." Hahaha, King Liao, General Liu is also your old man, and you are also your old department! ”

With a long laugh, Han Qi left the house.

Of course, Han Qi had bad intentions, but his ill intentions naturally did not want Liu Yan to kill Zhang Zhongwu, in fact, he would never allow such a thing to happen, but it was what Han Qi liked to let Zhang Zhongwu's subordinates humiliate him in the past.

He and Zhang Zhongwu can be regarded as old rivals. In this life, he suffered a lot of defeats in the hands of Zhang Zhongwu, but in the end, it was he who had the last laugh. To be able to step on this old opponent a few times, he definitely likes to see.

"Liu Yan? Liu Siyuan's boy? Zhang Zhongwu held the wine glass and glanced at Liu Yan with slanted eyes.

Liu Yan looked coldly at this guy who fell into the dust but was still ashamed in front of him, and said coldly: "Our Liu family can be regarded as having worked for you Zhang Dashuai for decades, and in the end, why don't you even mean to stretch out a hand?" At that time, if you said a word, the Liu family would not be completely dead. Decades of effectiveness, but can't you get a little pity? ”

Zhang Zhongwu glanced at Liu Yan with some surprise, and only after a while did he shake his head and said with a smile: "Compared to your father, you are really too far behind." ”

"Naturally, I'm not as good as my father." Liu Yan said coldly: "But compared to it now, it seems to be a lot stronger." ”

Zhang Zhongwu laughed: "Boy, even if you fail when you get old, you will forget what you have done in this life." It's a lot better than me, you actually dare to say it, haha, even if Lao Tzu becomes a prisoner, when he drinks, there is someone like Han Qi to accompany him, do you have this weight? ”

Liu Yan was furious, staring at each other, his hand subconsciously touched his waist, only to find that the knife had been taken away, and seeing Liu Yan's violent direction, several big men in the room stood up and took a few steps forward.

Zhang Zhongwu smiled and pointed to the opposite side: "Boy, for the sake of your father who has also worked for me for many years, I am willing to say a few more words to you, sit down, and drink a few glasses of wine with me." ”

Liu Yan sneered and sat down: "But look at what you told me?" ”

"If you come to see my jokes, it only proves that your pattern is like this, and being a general who charges a trap is considered the limit." Zhang Zhongwu poured a glass of wine for Liu Yan with a pot, and said lightly: "I won't save your father, because I am the king of Liao and the ruler of Liaodong." Your Liu clan was not framed and persecuted by Deng Jingshan, but a loser in the political struggle, for me, of course, I only care about the winner. The one who loses, for me, is nothing! What are you doing to save him, continue to live against Deng Jingshan and cause trouble for me? ”

Liu Yan grabbed the wine glass and drank it all.

"Therefore, after his defeat, your father did not send anyone to ask me for help, because he knew that I would not save him, and he was to blame for coming to this point. Of course, if the winner is your father, he will naturally kill Deng Jingshan's family, and I will not avenge Deng Jingshan, do you understand? ”

Liu Yan doesn't necessarily understand this truth, if this incident happened to someone who had nothing to do with him, he would naturally be able to see it clearly, but if it happened to him, he couldn't help but be resentful, and he couldn't help but hate the man in front of him.

The authorities are obsessed, this is the truth.

"The dignified Lulong Festival has come to an end, why don't you die? Is it fun to live with a shy face? If it were me, I would have been killed by a headfirst collision! Liu Yan sneered.

Zhang Zhongwu laughed again: "This is the idea of someone with a pattern like yours, not mine." If I think of Zhang, if I die on the battlefield, it will be fine, but unfortunately, I didn't die. Li Han's martial arts are so strong that even when I was young, I would not be his opponent, let alone now. But since he was caught, he naturally couldn't die in a nest, how could a hero like me Zhang Zhongwu do something that a coward would do. ”

"Could it be that you still think that Li Xiang will spare your life?" Liu Yan asked with a laugh.

"The husband can't eat Jiuding, so he cooks Jiuding!" Zhang Zhongwu turned his wine glass, looked at Liu Yan and said: "Since you can't die heroically on the battlefield, it is also a good choice to be beheaded with a knife on the execution ground that attracts the attention of thousands of people." Of course Li Ze will kill me, but if someone like me is beheaded, it will inevitably be a sensation in the world, and when the time comes, there will be a sea of people on the execution ground, isn't it also extremely spectacular? ”

"Do you want to shout for 20 years, and you're a good man again!" Liu Yan rolled his eyes and said, he really couldn't figure out what was going on in the minds of people like Zhang Zhongwu.

Zhang Zhongwu laughed and bent down with a straight smile. It took a long time to stop laughing and said, "Okay, if you want to see my bad luck, you have already seen it, but if you want to see my miserable relatives, I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed." Finally, I would like to give you a piece of advice, the best thing for a person like you is to be a general who expands the territory for Li Ze in the frontier, and don't get involved in the future government. This is the last bit of compensation I will give your father for his decades of service to me. ”

Liu Yan took a deep breath, stood up, turned around and strode out, without looking back at the other party.

People like Zhang Zhongwu, even if they fall into this kind of fate, they still have a bearing that makes people have to be convinced.

When he walked out of the house, he unexpectedly saw Han Qi standing under a plum blossom with his back on his back, looking up at the plum blossoms in full bloom.

"What advice did Zhang Zhongwu give you?" Han Qi asked with a smile.

Liu Yan was stunned, these people were all like demons, and they actually guessed that Zhang Zhongwu would say something to himself.

"He said that people like me are only suitable for expanding their territory in the frontier, not to mix with the government!" Liu Yan said honestly.

"That makes sense!" Han Qi nodded: "After this battle is over, I am going to invite myself to be the governor of Yingzhou, how about it, are you interested in cooperating in Yingzhou together?" ”

"Why me?" Liu Yan pointed to his nose and said in surprise.

"It's very simple, first, you are familiar with Liaodong, although Liaodong has been beaten down now, but for a long time, it will not be peaceful, bandits will be the biggest problem, you, the biggest mountain bandit in Liaodong, can help me suppress bandits!" Han Qi said with a smile: "Second, your wife Yan Wu is a person from the secret camp, and your subordinate Fan Jian Fan Tong is a person from the internal guard. ”

Hearing this, Liu Yan suddenly understood why Han Qi pulled himself up. Because now he seems to need to prove his loyalty to Li Ze.
