Zuo Mengeng saw that Zheng Zhibao and the generals had collapsed, and if he left like this, the war between the two sides would be on the verge of breaking out. At the end of the war, the interests of the Zuo family can no longer be guaranteed.

Zuo Mengeng hurriedly stepped forward, stopped Zheng Zhibao, and said with a smile, "Brother Zheng, the negotiation was negotiated, don't be angry!"

Zheng Zhibao came with the mission of peace talks, and he would not go away in a bad mood, so he was naturally happy to go down the steps, was pulled back by him, and then took Zuo Mengeng's army, "Young Marshal Zuo, we are all from the military, so we don't want a mother-in-law and mother-in-law." Governor Fang's condition cannot be changed, whether to descend or not, you give a good word!"

Zuo Mengeng was forced into a corner, hurriedly appeased Zheng Zhibao a little, and said to the generals, "Uncles, you are all comrades-in-arms who were born and died with your father, and you are all commanders with heavy troops. Some want to seek benevolence, some want to enjoy wealth and prosperity, and the Tao is different. ”

"The pros and cons of surrendering or not, I believe that there is no need for me, a junior, to talk too much, it is reasonable, and it is up to you to make your own decision. I, Zuo Mengeng, have said first, and the Zuo family will choose to surrender this time. Uncles, if you are willing to surrender, you can surrender with the Zuo family. If you don't want to surrender, I, Zuo Mengeng, will not embarrass you, you will leave Nanchang Mansion with your own personal soldiers. In the future, the future will be auspicious, and each will have a good destiny!"

Zuo Mengeng preemptively expressed his attitude of surrender, as for whether the other generals surrendered or not, he couldn't control it and didn't want to care. Those who are willing to continue the war with Fang Yuan, as long as they don't drag others into the water, they can leave with their troops.

The generals looked at each other when they heard this, they also wanted to surrender, but they were unwilling to accept the conditions for their own soldiers to be reorganized, if there were no guards of their own soldiers, they would be slaughtered by others.

Zuo Mengeng is obviously too selfish, he only thinks about the Zuo family going ashore safely, and does not care about the interests of the generals at all, and even ignores the previous covenant.

Jin Shenghuan was about to speak, when a strong voice came from the back hall, "Zuo Mengeng!" You're ridiculous!"

The person who scolded was the head of the Zuo family, Zuo Liangyu. Sickly, with the help of the maidservant, he went from the back hall to the lobby, sat on the tiger skin chair, and coughed constantly.

When the generals saw Zuo Liangyu coming out to preside over the overall situation, they were all silent.

Zuo Liangyu coughed violently, his eyes looked around the generals, his eyes fell on Zheng Zhibao, who was the envoy, and his eyes flashed, "Ahem, cough, if Governor Fang has the intention of peace talks, he should return my Jiangbei Second Mansion first, and then come to peace talks." cough cough cough, now occupy my second mansion, but pretend to talk about it, what is there to talk about? Ahem!"

Zuo Liangyu, who was no longer in charge of military and political affairs, suddenly came out to preside over the overall situation, this person has experienced a hundred battles, but it is much more difficult than the second generation of officials Zuo Mengeng, Zheng Zhibao was also slightly surprised, he had already retreated, and said with a forced smile, "Zuo Dashuai came just right, whether to talk peace, how to talk about peace, it's all up to Zuo Dashuai's words, I'm waiting to bring the words back to Governor Fang!"

Zuo Liangyu took a strong breath, suppressed the churning breath, and said with a sneer, "Zheng Zhibao, you sell the lord to seek glory, and you still have the face to talk to Bendu!" Someone, detain Zheng Zhibao and wait for it to be released!"

The three sergeants stepped forward and directly tied up Zheng Zhibao's five flowers, Zheng Zhibao shouted and said, "Zuo Dashuai, the two countries intersect, don't cut it!"

Zuo Liangyu said coldly, "If Fang Yuan is sincere in peace talks, let you go back, if Fang Yuan is not sincere in peace talks, on the day the two sides go to war, they will behead you first to sacrifice the flag." ”

The situation suddenly changed, Zheng Zhibao, who was originally a guest, suddenly became a prisoner, and the sergeant who was guarding him stuffed a white cloth into his mouth in order to prevent him from talking too much, and directly escorted him.

Zuo Mengeng saw that his father had detained Fang Yuan's envoy Zheng Zhibao, and his face was bloodless with fright. This is clearly unwilling to negotiate peace, and once the war ends, he will be the fish that will hurt the fish pond.

Zuo Mengeng hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Father, don't do it!" If the news of Zheng Zhibao's detention reaches Nanzhili, Fang Yuan will inevitably invade Jiangxi on a large scale, and it will be in danger!"

Zuo Liangyu saw that he looked like a bad seed, he was angry, and began to cough violently again, "Zuo Mengeng, cough cough, Fang Yuan scared you into a few words, cough cough, you are still not my Zuo family's species?!"

Zuo Mengeng cried with a sad face, and persuaded again and again, "Father, 50,000 Xuanjia Army Chen soldiers in Jiangbei, dozens of warships cruising in the river, how do you want to fight this battle?!"

Zuo Liangyu coughed and said, "Ahem, when I was in the world, Fang Yuan returned, ahem, the smell of milk was not dry!" The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, cough cough. If we are really defeated in the Yangtze River, it's a big deal, cough cough, let's go to Xiangnan, cough cough, back to the mountains, and then deal with Fang Yuan, cough cough!"

Zuo Menggeng's face sank, the important town of Jiujiang can be lowered overnight, and there is no danger to defend in northern Xiangnan, only southern Hunan and western Hunan are mountainous and hilly, and they can fight with Fang Yuan. But his father's behavior of preferring to go to the mountains to drink the wind rather than surrender to Fang Yuan seemed to him to be simply stubborn and incorrigible!

In the second half of his life, whether to enjoy glory and wealth, or to break bones and ashes, at this critical moment of life and death, Zuo Mengeng can no longer tolerate Zuo Liangyu's stubbornness, and no longer disregard the relationship between father and son, he asked the generals, "Uncles, you would rather follow your father and shuai to Xiangnan and Xiangxi mountains to dig soil and drink the wind, rather than go to Jiangnan in the flower world to be a peaceful son?!"

The generals were speechless, and it was not their intention to confront Fang Yuan in the end, they just wanted to promote peace with war and strive for better conditions. Zuo Mengeng is indeed a wretch, and talking to Fang Yuanhe can't satisfy them; But Zuo Liangyu is a tendon who wants to pull everyone up the mountain to be the king of the mountain, which in the eyes of the generals, is even more unbearable than Zuo Mengeng's nest.

Jin Shenghuanqiang said with a smile, "Big marshal, young marshal, the enemy is now, let's not fight among ourselves first." Whether it's war or peace, it's not immutable, right? Stopping the war with peace and seeking peace with war must be determined according to the situation of the war, and we cannot generalize!"

Zuo Mengeng took out his sister Zuo Nan's family letter, raised it in public and said, "Uncle Jin, I'll make it clear to you!" My sister came to the family letter, the military regulations of the Xuanjia Army, beheaded a person and half an acre of land, and the commander of the attack on Jiangxi, Gan Hui, had been fighting for a whole year. ”

"We have forcibly occupied a total of 2 million mu of fertile land in Jiangxi, and the generals have robbed a total of 7 million taels of silver, which has long been targeted by Gan Hui. Gan Hui even planned how to distribute these fertile fields and family wealth a few days ago. He and Fang Yuan agreed to hand over 1.8 million mu of fertile land and 6 million taels of silver, and the rest was handed over to Gan Hui to arrange and distribute by himself to reward the soldiers who made military achievements this time. ”

"Uncles, we came out with our heads to fight the country, isn't it just to seal the shadow of the wife and the silver woman. If the horse has been on the horse for many years, but the family is ruined, the wife and daughter are humiliated, and the heirs are cut down and eradicated, then who is working hard and who is busy with it? This peace talk is our last chance to surrender, if we miss it, the Xuanjia army will immediately cross the river to start a war, and there will be no chance for the next peace talks!"

The generals looked at each other when they heard this, and they didn't know what to do.

Zuo Liangyu saw that he dared to openly disobey his father's orders and incite the generals to surrender internally, and his daughter was also persuaded to surrender for Gan Hui, so he was angry and pointed to Zuo Mengeng's face and said, "Bold rebel!" Come on, take Zuo Mengeng down too!"

Zuo Liangyu gave an order to arrest Zuo Mengeng, but the generals and the sergeants who guarded him ignored his military orders and did not move.
