He paced in the big tent more than once, and only one confidant around him was restless.

To say that the relationship between Zhe Keqiu and Zheng Zhi is not bad, and between Zheng Zhi and Zhe Keqiu, there is also a bit of affection between friends and brothers.

But Zhe Keqiu is different from Liu Zhengyan, Xiao Liu Xianggong himself is not very old, and he also inherited Zheng Zhi's great favor in Liu Fa's affairs, and Xiao Liu Xianggong himself does not have many ideas and ambitions at this time.

Fold can ask for it but it is different, when Fold can ask for the state capital, Zheng Zhi was just a butcher. When he was competing with the Seed Master Dao, Zheng Zhi was just a small head beside the Seed Master Dao.

According to his background, Zheng Zhi can ask for a leg hair if he can't fold it. According to the family power and inheritance, it is even more high. is according to age, and Zheng Zhi is a lot older.

Zhe Keqiu is good friends with Zheng Zhi on the surface, but in front of Zheng Zhi, Zhe Keqiu still has a sense of superiority. Although he doesn't look down on Zheng Zhi or despise Zheng Zhi, he has his own pride.

During this period of time, Zhe Keqiu has been thinking more about how to ensure his interests in the northwest, how to ensure his military power, and how to ensure that the Zhi family can continue to be a local emperor in the northwest.

It is also based on all this, Zhe Ke asked to go north out of the grassland and south to Huaixi, and the holy decree summoned King Qin, but he did not go.

Now Zheng Zhi summoned Zhe Keqiu to Tokyo again in the name of the emperor, and Zhi Keqiu knew in his heart that as long as he went to Tokyo, then things like military power would not be his master, and the Tu Emperor in the northwest probably couldn't do it. In the future, we will have to look at Zheng Zhi's eyes.

This is different from the temporary command above the battle array, which is related to the future path and destiny of the entire folding family. Even if he surrendered to the Jurchens, he still wanted to become the emperor of the northwest and still wanted to stand on his own, but because of this, he was poisoned by the Jurchens.

If there is no farmer in the northwest, there is only the Zhejia family, and it is understandable that there will be these ideas. For example, Liu Zhengyan and Yang Keshi, the reason why they did not have this idea is also because the two did not have the foundation to be emperors in the northwest.

"Meng Lang, if a certain person shirks the war again and does not go to Tokyo, how will Zheng Zhi treat him?" After thinking about it, he still didn't have a decision, so he also opened his mouth to ask the henchmen around him. This person's name is Meng Lang, and he is also a scholar, but the style of writing in the northwest has always been poor, and it is difficult to get out of the jinshi.

"Xianggong, I'm afraid that I can't deceive that Yan King... But I think that the king of Yan won't be able to take Xianggong. Meng Lang obviously did not ask for it, and directly called Zheng Zhi's name, but called him King Yan, and his words were also straightforward.

Zhe Keqiu thought for a moment, and then asked, "Do you think Zheng Zhi also sent someone to Liu Zhengyan and Yang Keshi to pass on the holy decree?" ”

Meng Lang didn't think much about it, he thought that this holy decree was the same as before, and he only arrived here when the boss asked for it, and when he heard the words, his face changed, and he nodded and said: "I think that King Yan will act like this, so it seems that Xiao Liu Xianggong and General Yang must have received the holy decree... So... I'm afraid that Xiao Liu Xianggong and General Yang will go to Tokyo. Xianggong, this method of evading the war seems to be unfeasible. ”

Meng Lang thought it through, if Liu Zhengyan and Yang Keshi led their troops into Beijing, it would be a bit ridiculous to ask for a big war to shirk it. The lies are under the table, and they know each other tacitly, so both sides still retain some face. But if it is clear to deceive others, then everything is spread out to a showdown. It's just that you can't get along with people, and the meaning is obviously different.

Zhe Keqiu frowned when he heard this, and said, "What if you directly lead the troops back to Qinzhou in the northwest?" ”

Hearing this, Meng Lang hurriedly shook his head and said: "If Xianggong is like this, then it is really disrespectful, and it will make the King of Yan hold a grudge, and now the King of Yan is powerful, I am afraid that he will not be offended." Otherwise, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get along again in the future. ”

Zhe Keqiu shook his head again and again, "No, no, it depends on how to go back to the northwest." This time all the way south, a lot of money has been gathered, and it can be used for a few years, so he will go northwest, and he will be strong, even if Zheng Zhi is relieved in the future, he will not tear his face with a certain person, and he will rely on a certain person a lot, and at that time he will take advantage of it to buy a certain person. ”

At this time, it seems that he has already made a decision, and this decision relies on the money collected during this time, as well as the courage of the people in the northwest. As the words of Zhe Keqiu said, after returning to the northwest, recruiting more generals, and building more iron armor, the emperor of the soil was decided, so he let Zheng Zhi throw a mouse taboo, and did not dare to tear his face with him at will.

For example, today's general trend is already a world of great contention, that is, heroes emerge in troubled times, and I may not have thought about competing for the world, but I don't want to be controlled by others. There is another sentence that can be begged for but not spoken, when the Song Dynasty was founded, how could the party Xixia be able to build the country?

However, it was also the Great Song Dynasty that still relied on the famous Li family, and due to fate, the Song army was defeated and powerless, and the party was able to establish the country. I didn't think much about whether to build a country or not, but this soil emperor, it seems that it is about to be decided.

Meng Lang heard that he had made up his mind to return to the northwest, and hurriedly said: "Xianggong, you still need to think twice about this, if you don't respect the will, I'm afraid that there will be endless troubles." ”

Zhi Keqiu smiled, and only said: "It's okay, go and tell the person who sent the decree that a certain person immediately led his troops to attack Nanfeng City, destroyed Wang Qing, and immediately entered Beijing." ”

Meng Lang was stunned when he heard this, looked at the fold and begged, saw the fold and nodded firmly, turned around and walked out of the big tent, to find Zheng Zhi's personal soldiers to reply.

In the middle of the camp a moment later, the trumpets were blowing. The army began to besiege the city.

In order to express his eagerness, he personally went to the front to supervise the battle.

Liu Zhengyan and Yang Keshi naturally also received the holy decree, and Zheng Zhi obviously also sent the holy decree to these two people, that is, to prevent the compromise from getting in the way.

The two received the holy decree, each from the north and south more than 100 miles away to the fold can ask for the big tent, the army now formed a siege of the five cities on the left and right of Nanfeng City, and it is also the end of the war. To attack or not to attack, but also to be folded can ask for the commander's order, at this time received Zheng Zhi summoned them into the capital of the military order, naturally rushed to find a fold to discuss the siege of the city. After destroying Wang Qing, you can lead your troops into Beijing.

More than 10,000 soldiers and horses are struggling to attack the city, and the momentum is huge. In the main city of Nanfeng, there are not many thieves left, and when they reach such a desperate end, most of the people who are coerced and fishing in troubled waters have already tried their best to escape.

Those who can still hold on in the city are also some of Wang Qing's henchmen, the number of which is less than three or four thousand. This self-proclaimed King of Chu and the King of Yan are really far apart. Maybe this King of Chu also wants to be like King Yan, forcing Tokyo to be sealed with soldiers, and he is also the same as King Yan.

But the dream is too beautiful, and the reality is too cruel.

Zhe Ke begged to go into battle, sometimes shouting loudly, sometimes personally drawing the bow to shoot. The scene of the big battle is even more intense.

Zheng Zhi's dozen or so pro-soldiers also watched the battle behind the battle, waiting for the battle to be decided, and then led the troops into Beijing to restore their lives.

The soldiers of the Western Army finally climbed to the top of the city, and they were extremely brave, and the second group went to the city wall.

In a short time, the gates of the city were opened.

After a while, all four gates were opened, and countless thieves rushed out to several city gates, thinking that they could escape and ascend to heaven. Wang Qing was naturally among them, thinking that King Yan would not be able to do it, and if he could enter any mountain forest, he would go to be a mountain king again.

Zhe Keqiu had already rushed into the city, and he took the lead, which also greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers.

Meng Lang followed by his side, still doubting in his heart, this city was broken like this, and he broke through the city in front of Zheng Zhi's own soldiers, I really don't know what this prince plans to do.

But seeing that at this time, he begged to pull Meng Lang into an alley, and said, "Meng Lang, quickly take people to collect the belongings in the city." ”

Meng Lang nodded, and was about to do something. turned his head and ran a few steps, but he heard a scream behind him, and hurriedly looked back.

I saw that the iron armor on Zhe Keqiu's chest had fallen to the ground, the blood on his chest was not stopping, and a feather arrow was inserted in his chest, and Zhe Keqiu's face was even more painful.

Meng Lang was shocked, and hurriedly looked around to see where the enemy was, but after looking for a week, he didn't see a single enemy.

Then he heard Zhe Keqiu shouting in his mouth: "It's okay, the flesh is broken, the blood flows a little more, and no one can die." ”

Meng Lang only understood at this time, and asked nervously, "Xianggong, why did you stick this arrow in your chest?" ”

Zhe Keqiu shouted: "If not, why go back to Qinzhou." Go quickly, gather up the spoils of the city. ”

Meng Lang immediately understood, this folded prince is really ruthless! didn't say much, but said: "Take care of the minister, go to the medical officer quickly." The last will go first. ”

After speaking, Meng Lang ran out of the alley. Zhe Keqiu also came out of the alley by holding on to the wall, and the soldiers on the left and right were shocked, stepped forward to help, and went around looking for medical officers to rescue.

Liu Zhengyan and Yang Keshi rushed to the east of Nanfeng City, and the battle had ended.

In the big tent, Zhe Keqiu was lying on the wooden couch, his face was snow-white, dying, and there were blood stains on the bed and clothes.

The two were shocked and rushed closer.

"How are you?"

"Folded Xianggong, why do you want to risk your own life...

Zhe Keqiu raised his hand slightly, looked in unbearable pain, and said: "King Yan was summoned, and in a hurry, he personally went into battle to attack the city. This time it's hurt my heart.,I'm afraid it's hard to live.。。。 ”

Liu Zhengyan was shocked when he heard this, turned his head to look at the medical officer, and shouted: "What happened to the Folding Xianggong?" ”

The medical officer was stunned, his face was shocked, and he knew how to answer, so he only said: "Whether the prince can live or not depends on the creation... Nine times out of ten ... Can't... By the skin of one's teeth. ”

Liu Zhengyan looked sad, turned his head and grabbed the palm of his hand, and asked: "Zhe Xianggong, you have countless battle formations, how can you be injured in the hands of a thief this time, the way of heaven is unfair." ”

"The battle array is eyeless, and the sword is ruthless. There are countless battle formations, killing people, and the heavens may be fair, and dying in battle is also the fate of our generals. Zhe Keqiu's face was relaxed, his words were free and easy, and he seemed to have seen through life and accepted the ending.

"Zhe Xianggong, if you still have any unfulfilled wishes, I will definitely do it for you." Liu Zhengyan has also seen too many words that are life and death, and the words that can really comfort people at this time are the same.

Zhe Keqiu smiled miserably, extremely bitter: "The Zhe family has guarded the northwest for generations, and death is not terrible." I am afraid that I will not be able to return to my hometown for fear of death, and I will not be able to see my ancestors. ”

"Folded Xianggong, I'll send you home... Liu Zhengyan felt in his heart and blurted out.

Zhi Keqiu waved his hand, and said weakly: "Xiao Liu Xianggong, Wang Qing has escaped, there are still four cities to fight, and Wang Qing wants to take it, and His Royal Highness King Yan is also waiting in Tokyo City." The war is important, so let Meng Lang take him home, and if you go back to the northwest in the future, you can go to the grave and toast a glass of water and wine. You and I are both sons of the Northwest Army, and we have seen too much life and death, so we should take it lightly. ”

Liu Zhengyan was already in tears, and Yang Keshi stepped forward and knelt on the ground, grabbing Zhe Keqiu's other palm.

The scene is really touching, and the only thing that can comfort is the expression and tone of the life and death of Zhe Keqiu. If one person dies generously, he can also infect others with less grief and more comfort.

In the big tent, it was extremely quiet, quiet for a long time.

Liu Zhengyan stood up, pulled out his long knife, walked out of the camp tent, and shouted: "Zhexianggong, go and avenge you, take Wang Qing, I will teach him not to die well, a thousand knives, send him to Huangquan Road to be your companion and relieve your anger." ”

Liu Zhengyan was probably unwilling, just looking at it and begging to die of breath. Liu Zhengyan, the righteous slaughterer of dogs! This is true for Zheng Zhi, and the same is true for treating compromises. In history, because the eunuchs used power to oppress the people, they did not want to save the country, and they angrily hijacked the emperor Zhao Go, slaughtered the eunuchs, and forced the emperor to abdicate.

Yang Keshi also stood up, looked at Liu Zhengyan, who saw the account, and also drew his knife and went out.

Zhe Keqiu had already gestured to Meng Lang with his eyes, and the frame arrived in front of the big tent.

It didn't take long for him to drag the fold that seemed to be coming to an end, and he went back to the northwest.

The three-way army surrounded Nanfeng and the four county seats, Nanfeng was broken, Wang Qing fled in all directions, but there was no way to escape from the ascension.

That night, the lights were bright, shouting and killing everywhere, and everywhere there were cavalry galloping across the country, killing countless people.

Wang Qing was intercepted by Liu Zhengyan on a small road in the north.

Liu Zhengyan took Wang Qing to Nanfeng City, but it was no longer a bargain.

Wang Qing was tied to the head of the city by Liu Zhengyan, and died by cutting the skin and flesh with a knife. The fate of His Royal Highness the King of Chu is embarrassing.

The dozens of counties in Huaixi finally returned to peace again, and the appointment and dismissal of officials in the imperial court was another piece of fat, and this piece of fat also went to Zheng Zhi's hands.

Two thousand men of the Western Army were left in Nanfeng City, and Liu Zhengyan and Yang Keshi rushed to Tokyo with the holy decree in their hands, and the army followed.
