Everyone was silent, looking at Wen Huanzhang, who could only vaguely see his back in the distance, and there was sneer, disdain, and pity in their eyes.

And their faces were all indifferent, and even whether the young man in the distance was dead or alive had nothing to do with them.

However, they only saw Wen Huanzhang's figure stay for a moment, then tugged on the reins and galloped forward.

"Hehe, does this person still have to fight to the death?" Jin Chengying looked at the more than 40,000 people who followed Wen Huanzhang, and just sneered: "What a madman, I'm sorry, we're not interested in accompanying you to death!"

"Hurry up and leave, it's a waste of food and grass to stay here."

Zhu Yongqing jumped on the horse, looked into the distance and snorted coldly: "If there is a fire in the backyard, we will be played by Dong Ping and Dong Shuang this time!"

"Yes, not only did we run for nothing, but we haven't reaped any benefits, our gang is really hopelessly stupid."

"What people!"

Everyone turned their heads suddenly, only to find that it was Zhang Zhongxiong who spoke, and immediately frowned, although they didn't get angry directly, they also looked at him angrily.

"Why are you so angry?" Zhang Zhongxiong just spread his hands and smiled, looking at everyone leisurely.

"Hmph, we know that your father Zhang Shuye and that Dong Ping also have a grudge." Jin Chengying smiled disdainfully: "However, we are all practical interests, don't you want to use the agitation method to let us follow you and send us to death with Wen Huanzhang!"

"Brother Jin is right!"

After turning the horse's head, Zhu Yongqing just said in a calm tone: "Our own strength is not guaranteed, who has time to take care of others, General Zhang, I know that you are a great loyal minister, but we don't need your advice to do this!"

"What if I say that Dong Ping has now captured your territory?"

"What nonsense are you kid?!" Jin Chengying raised the iron gun and pointed it at Zhang Zhongxiong and scolded: "I'll tell you, you are talking about breaking the sky today, and we have already broken up, don't think about commanding us!"

"The way is different, don't conspire with each other, hurry up!" Jin Chengying snorted coldly, and then instigated to sit down and prepare to set off.

"You haven't thought that Dong Ping has already attacked Shandong, will he only deal with Wen Huanzhang?"

Zhang Zhongxiong suddenly raised his voice by several decibels, his eyes looking at everyone were almost spraying fierce light, and he almost clenched his fists and roared: "We can only deal with Dong Ping if we unite now, this is the only means for us to survive!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Zhongxiong didn't bother to pay attention to them, got on the horse himself, and took tens of thousands of horses under his command and galloped all the way in the direction of Jeju.

"Looks like we have only one choice!" Jin Chengying gritted his teeth and still shouted: "Brother, I have to go to Lingzhou quickly, you can do it yourself!"

After speaking, he also took more than 10,000 people under his command to organize the formation and quickly drove towards Lingzhou.

Looking at everyone with cold eyes, Zhu Yongqing was silent for a moment, just squeezed a sneer out of his teeth, and with a move of his right hand, more than 20,000 people under his command had already driven towards Zhujiazhuang with him.

And at this time, Jeju City.

The warriors of the Liangshan army were full of momentum, and they had launched a fierce attack on the city with the help of the cloud ladder captured from Zengtou City, numerous siege weapons, and heavy equipment.

In Jeju City, Jang Shuye was participating in political discussions between the DPRK and China, and at this time, almost only Jang Bofen led 10,000 horses to resist in the city.

Zhang Bofen and Wen Huanzhang since childhood, Uncle Zhang learned Wen Xiaowu at night, and is familiar with military aircraft, and his men and horses are also well-equipped, and Jeju City, as the capital, is even more tall and thick, and it seems to be unbreakable, despite this, the current situation is still dangerous.

That's because, the army outside the city is several times larger than Jeju City!

In the nearby city within a radius of 100 miles, the people and horses were all transferred by Zhang Zhongxiong to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Dong Shuang and Dong Ping, so the grain in the city was also in a state of negative growth.

What's even worse is that a while ago, because Jeju was engaged in grain trade, it wanted to exchange more than ninety percent of its grain for gold and silver, and all the grain was piled up in Haicheng, ten miles away.

At this moment, Zhang Bofen couldn't wait to hit his head against the wall.

It's all this dad, what do you say that in order to carry out reforms, we must first make bold innovations through grain trade, develop new ideas, and introduce merchants, otherwise how will it be like this!

Looking at the food that was less than a week's left, he slowly climbed the tall city wall, and looked at the iron-like military formation around the wall, his eyes burned with anger, and he smashed his fist into the hard bluestone brick wall.

"Big ...... My lord, the enemy is attacking too fiercely, and we are not opponents! One of the scouts stumbled up, fell to his knees and cried out with a sad face, "I...... Let's abandon the city and leave first, if we don't leave, it'll be too late! ”

"You ......"

In an instant, Zhang Bofen was almost full of blood, eager to tear the person in front of him alive.

The eldest brother is also stupid, he privately responded to Wen Huanzhang's call behind his father's back, now it's okay, his own territory is not guaranteed!

Slammed into the nearby green bricks, the intense pain and blood made him a little sober, he just waved his hand and shouted: "Hurry up, if you dare to disturb the morale of the army and be killed directly!"

"Report ......"

"What the hell is going on?!" Zhang Bofen's fierce gaze looked directly at the panting man, and he almost roared.

The lieutenant almost fell to the ground, and reluctantly stood up against the wall, and said, "No...... Oh no, Zhao Yun opened the city gate and surrendered to the thieves! ”

"Damn, these bastards!" Zhang Bo gritted his teeth desperately, glared angrily, and scolded loudly: "A bunch of beasts who eat inside and out, take my brothers with me, I will kill those traitors and then clean up the Liangshan thieves!"

"Big ...... My lord, those thieves have gone back again! ”

At this time, inside the Liangshan tent outside the city.

Looking at Du Yu and a few pro-soldiers on the bed, Zhu Wu shook the feather fan, and the emotions on his face gradually became solemn.

"In this way, Wen Huanzhang concentrated all his strength on attacking you at the beginning, in order to control Zengtou City!" Ma Kuo held his chin with his hand and pondered slightly: "As long as you take Zengtou City, you can attack and retreat."

"If you take Zengtou City, you can contact forces from all over the world, launch an encirclement network to ambush us, and retreat to have a stronghold and a lot of resources, no matter what, you can also defeat us who are fighting guerrillas through a protracted war."

After walking a few laps indoors, Zhu Wucai said in a deep voice: "Although the beacon tower defenders we encountered on the road didn't know why they all withdrew, the reason why we were able to go so smoothly this time was the result of step by step."

"Yes, we fought to the death to stop Wen Huanzhang until the whole army was wiped out, but fortunately we survived." The captain of the pro-soldier sighed heavily.

"In the end, Wen Huanzhang couldn't take us for a while, so he sent Qin Ming to bring the vanguard to outflank us."

At this time, there were scouts from outside to report that the whole army had withdrawn after breaking through the outer city, and the enemy was holding on to the inner city, while other places also sent good news.

In the past two days, the state capitals of various regions have deployed more than half of their troops to deal with Dong Ping, so they are unable to resist the strong offensive of the Liangshan army at this time, and it can be said that they are retreating one after another.

And Dongping was broken by the inside and outside on the first night due to the response of the people.

What's more, there are still undercover people left by Dong Ping in the city.

"You've worked hard, brother."

Looking at Du Yu, who was still in a coma, covered in blood, and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, Ma Kuo said in a low tone: "If it weren't for you this time, I'm afraid we would be completely wiped out by Wen Huanzhang in Zengtou City."

"Don't worry, as long as you are still there, your confrontation can be rebuilt, and General Du's troops will be recast brilliantly!"

"This time, you are all the credit!"

"We ...... We have always believed in Brother Dong Ping. The captain of the pro-soldier forced tears and said, "It is you who have given us poor a dignity and let us know that the world has not abandoned us."

"So, when we survived the earthquake back then, I, Yu Wenhai, swore in my heart that I would give everything for my eldest brother, even if it was this life to follow him!"

"We, too, captain, we fight for this dignity, don't let those dog officials and landlords look down on us, we die worthwhile!"

The remaining soldiers of the Snow Leopard Battalion all burst into tears, and they all raised their arms and shouted, "Even if we fight to the last person, as long as we can protect Brother Dong Ping, we are all willing!" ”

"Good brothers, you are all heroes, history will remember you, no one will forget you!"

Looking at these young warriors silently, Ma Kuo only felt a line of tears coming out of his eyes, and soon, he couldn't control his emotions, and only felt that his whole person had changed.

"You...... Don't you have anything to say? ”

Ma Kuo turned around, looked at Zhu Wu, and was stunned for a while before gritting his teeth and bursting into tears: "Our elite...... It's already been lost, the brothers are dead and wounded, I knew this earlier, why didn't we just rebel and take the position of this dog emperor! ”

"When this battle is over, you will understand everything." After being silent for a long time, Zhu Wu said slowly.

"Okay."

Ma Kuo wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned around and said calmly: "Now that the troops have stopped attacking, the next ...... We're ready to plan for the next phase of the showdown, teacher. ”

"This time, the whole world was shocked, no one dared to fight with us again, and when the people of the world heard the name Dong Ping, they felt afraid from the bottom of their bones!"

When Zhu Wu and Ma Kuo were talking, almost no one noticed that there were two fierce lights that had been watching them secretly.

At the same time, Wen Huanzhang has also rushed to Shandong.

Feeling the wind blowing on his face like a knife, Wen Huanzhang's eyes did not change in the slightest.

Always, he looked in that direction unswervingly, without squinting, without moving at all, as if there was some task driving him to work hard.

"My lord, those brutes are really too deceitful!" Ouyang Taize, the captain of Wen Huanzhang's personal army, rushed up from the rear and shouted: "If they hadn't given up the beacon tower to grab the credit, how could we have beaten the good situation to a pulp?"

"It's just that they don't come according to our arrangement at all, they are completely scattered!" Dongfang Li couldn't help but scolded in a low voice: "Otherwise, we should have held a celebration party and promotion banquet in Tokyo now!"

"Don't talk about it!"

Dongfang Ce watched everyone look at him, then gritted his teeth and said, "Big brother, today you left Zhou Ang in a foolish manner, and you formed hatred again, can't you restrain yourself a little?"

"Who are you talking about......

The two complained for a while, but seeing that Wen Huanzhang was just silent, he couldn't say anything more, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

"That's it."

"Huh?"

"I said, that's it, the root cause this time is me."

His face was still calm and composed, Wen Huanzhang said with a wry smile: "This time, I still trust them too much, sure enough, can the war only rely on yourself?"

"That's it, that's it, it's just fate, so why change it artificially?"

Hearing Wen Huanzhang say this, no matter how dissatisfied the two were, they had to hold it in their hearts.

Not long after, Jingxi Road, Dongping City.

Yue Fei, who was sitting on the city wall, glanced ahead from afar, rubbed his hazy eyes, sat up straight again and moved his head, I don't know why, he always felt that when he was alone, it was easiest to be quiet.

"Tsk, did you fall asleep again?"

On the agate-like red dome, a few pieces of sunset are dotted in the middle, and this environment where the remnant sun is like a sea is refreshing, enough to revel in it.

"It seems that Wen Huanzhang has already entered the set."

Feeling the soft evening breeze blowing through his body, stretching his whole body, and looking at the sunset in the distance, Yue Fei just smiled and said, "This battle is about to come to an end."

"I say, brother, you should rest too, right?" Shi Jin leaned against a nearby pillar and said in a calm tone: "In the past six or seven days, you have not slept for more than half an hour."

"Nothing, I'm just doing what I can." Yue Fei closed the art of war in his hand, turned around and jumped to the city tower and said with a slight smile: "If you are idle alone, it is quite boring, isn't it?"

"Tut-tut, you workaholic, you are really ......" Shaking his head slightly, Shi Jin poured a cup of hot tea from the teapot on the side and handed it to Yue Fei.

"Ah, thank you." Yue Fei was stunned for a moment before taking a sip of tea.

"Brother, can you tell me why you are taking this path?"

"Huh?"

"Why did you embark on a life in the army, this shouldn't be interesting for a simple person like you, right?"

"It's because ...... Faith and protection, right? Yue Fei smiled faintly, and the white robe on his body was also gradually dyed with a layer of gold in the afterglow of the sunset.

"Faith and protection? What does this mean?"

"I'm sorry, I can't give you an accurate answer right now." Yue Fei put the teacup on the table before he said in a calm tone: "One day, I myself will be the first to get this power."

"Okay, let's talk about Wen Huanzhang." Shi Jin's voice gradually sank: "Do you really think that with this person's level, it will be so easy for us to do this little trick?"

Who knows, Yue Fei just smiled: "Of course, the continuous lies and betrayals, coupled with the wrong line, have already made this alliance on the verge of collapse."

"And now, this person is eager to make meritorious contributions, whether it is to recapture the rear of Shandong, or to concentrate all his strength to fight us to the death first, he is destined to lose his position."

Silently looking at this section of the city wall, looking at the traces above, Shi Jin said in a deep voice: "Are you sure that he will definitely take the bait, and not other attempts?"

"I can tell you, it's a sure thing." Yue Fei said with a solemn expression.

"Plop Plop"

With a whistling sound in the air, the pigeon slowly fell, and finally stopped on Yue Fei's shoulder.

"Oh, here comes the pigeon?" When he opened the secret letter that stopped at the carrier pigeon, after glancing at it, Yue Fei just smiled slightly: "It seems that today will be smoother."

Mr. Wen, Mr. Wen, I have heard of you and Master Zhang's skills since I was a child, as a childhood idol, if I want to defeat you, I Yue Fei has never thought about it.

I didn't expect that today, we would go to the opposite side.

However, the day you attack Dong Ping's brother, you have to do a good job...... Throw away all enlightenment, right?

"So, the counterattack, it's on."

The clenched right fist was raised in front of him, looking at the afterglow that was already gradually falling in front of him, and the light on the young man's face was gradually fading.

However, a piece of news was coming at a rapid pace, and we had no way of knowing what it was, but in the eyes of the messenger who was galloping towards Dongping, all we could see was reluctance and anger.

That's a kind of emotion, the previous work is wasted, and the achievement is lost.

Almost at the same time, the Kingdom of Jin, the city of Huining.

Chujiang Lou Fuzhong.

Night, late at night, the bright moon hangs high, the stars are all over the sky, like a dream, intoxicating.

On the ground, there were flasks and wine bottles scattered all over the ground, and it was clear that this wine feast had been going on for quite some time.

The subordinates in the house had already retreated with Chu Jianglou's explanation, and Wan Yanxue went to bed early because she was too tired in the past few days.

"Jiang ...... Jiang Lou, tell me, what is the meaning of human life, what is it?"

Wanyan Wushu looked at Chu Jianglou in front of him drunkenly, supported his head with his hands, and barely propped himself on the table and said: "Why, I just want to be with the people I love and live a happy life with my family, and my brother, the people I love, are all gone from me!"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, calm down."

Chu Jianglou took the wine bottle in Wan Yan Wushu's hand expressionlessly, and said in a low tone: "You are already drunk, rest with me first, and wait until you wake up tomorrow."

"No, I...... I'm not drunk yet, I can still drink! ”

Snatching the wine bottle from Chu Jianglou's hand, Wanyan Wushu said intermittently: "Listen, Jiang Lou, I'm ...... I have always regarded you as my own brother, and if I ask you next, you must answer me truthfully, listen...... Did you hear that? ”

"You're drunk, stop talking."

Looking at the person in front of him lightly, Chu Jianglou stood up silently, and was about to carry him away after finishing Yan Wushu's shoulder.

"You let go."

Unexpectedly, Wanyan Wushu's voice was unexpectedly calm, as if he had woken up from wine.

His brows furrowed, Chu Jianglou still didn't continue walking, he sat down, as if listening to what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to say.

"Jiang Lou, you ...... If one day I die, I let you inherit my path, would you like it? ”

"You...... What did you say?! ”

Almost instantly, Chu Jianglou was completely stunned, and his eyes were a little confused.

"I don't agree with the ministers of the DPRK and China now, and I am being neglected, I am afraid, and my life will not be guaranteed sooner or later." Sitting on the bench in disappointment, Wanyan Wushu put his right hand on his knee, and just smiled bitterly.

Soon, his words became vague again: "Jiang ...... Jiang Lou, you tell me, they all say that I have changed, you ...... Do you think I've changed? ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you ......"

"No, I haven't changed, I haven't changed, I haven't changed!"

Standing up suddenly, Wanyan Wushu pointed at the sky and shouted: "What has changed, it's this world, this world that can't accommodate people who tell the truth, it's not me who has finished Yan Wushu!"

"You tell me, you tell me......" Almost frantically grabbing Chu Jianglou's collar, Wanyan Wushu gritted his teeth and whispered: "My strategy, the national policy I designated, which one is not for the common people in the world, am I wrong?"

"What I have done is only for the people of Dajin and thousands of Li people, why, why do so many people come to oppose me and stop me!"

"I just want to be an ordinary person, a world where the people will be brought into a normal world, no longer suffering from natural and man-made disasters, children will not lose their parents, husbands will not lose their wives and children, you tell me, where am I wrong, everyone wishes I died early!"

Shaking frantically, Wanyan Wushu just looked at Chu Jianglou in front of him, his calm and heroic and elegant face was just like that, quietly, and never spoke.

"I just want to live a peaceful life, why is this wish so difficult."

"Click!"

The porcelain cup in his hand shattered, and after venting, a thick drunkenness and fatigue followed, and Wanyan Wushu sat there, leaning on Chu Jianglou's body, as if he could fall asleep at any time.

It's just that his eyes have been open, and the dazedness and decadence in them have deeply penetrated the unyielding attitude to fate and life into the depths of his soul.

"You'll be rested, and you won't have to worry about anything else."

After patting Yan Wushu's shoulder, Chu Jianglou's face was extremely calm, but a sense of firmness and belief had gradually been engraved in his soul, and finally became a part of his life.

Looking out the door, the moonlight there was bright and flawless, as clear as a pool of autumn water.

The starlight is reflected on the screen window, and even the figure is shrouded in the window paper, like a dream, mysterious and unpredictable.

"This time, I'll do everything for you, then, the first goal ......"
