Wei Zeng stood in front of the palace, but his heart was not very happy, and the power and wealth represented in front of him did not seem to attract him.

"A little greed, a little desire, will cause the world to strife, and the people will be displaced. High up, only the cold wind, only the suspicion that you can't give up, keep you, this is just to make more people die. Wei Zeng said in his heart.

"Does the general want to go in? The palace inside is magnificent, and the throne in the palace is also very solemn, if the general can sit on it, it must be even more powerful. Huang Yufei said to Wei Zeng with excitement on his face.

"I'm not going to go in, and no one else will be able to go in from now on. Ordered the palace to be burned, and there was not a single tile left of the best burned tile. After doing all this, we will go to Xuhuai and drive the Jiangnan people away. Wei Zeng no longer looked at the palace and said as he turned to leave.

"But it's a pity that the general's palace is so good that it burns down in one fell swoop. There are also a lot of valuable things in it......" Huang Yufei saw Wei Zeng turn his head, his eyes were very unhappy, and even a little fierce, and he couldn't say anything just after he came to his mouth.

"Do as I say, it's best if everything inside is turned to ashes." Wei Zeng left.

Huang Yufei didn't dare to say more, and ordered someone to burn down the palace of the Jingshi. The fire burned for days and nights, and the most majestic symbol of the dynasty was reduced to ashes.

After Gu Cha returned victoriously, Wei Zeng led the army in the direction of Xu Huai.

"The Central Plains has already gotten it, and this is something that many people should envy. For the sake of power, for the sake of kinship, for the great wish of governing the country and leveling the world. In short, whether it is a good person or a bad person; Whether it is a greedy person or a person with great ambitions, there is always a reason to find it. Those who stand in their way will be given the fate of death one by one. I can't get rid of all this, I can't be detached from things, and I will continue on this path for the sake of my perseverance. But I was not reconciled, but I was really tired of all this. Disturbed. In the end, eternal silence may be the best destination. Wei Zeng's heart was in pain, but he could only clench the weapon in his hand tighter.

Fan Kuyi led the Jiangnan army and surrounded Suicheng when Wei Zeng went north to support Shifeng City. It's just that the garrison army of Suicheng is no longer controlled by the cowardly Suicheng chief, and there will be no such thing as surrendering the city when the soldiers come to the city. Before leaving, Wei Zeng built several fortresses around Suicheng. echoing Suicheng, making it impossible for the Jiangnan army to move forward.

After several months of siege, nothing came of it, and the Jingshi had already been conquered by Wei Zeng. The news of the arrival of Wei Zeng's army has also reached Fan Yuyi's ears.

"Brother Detaine, all this is my fault, if I hadn't been careless in using my troops, I wouldn't have lost Suicheng. It's just that Suicheng's order is too hateful, and I saw the defeat of our army. immediately threw himself into Wei Zeng's arms. I want to know that he is this kind of wall grass, when he occupied Suicheng in the first place. And they removed him. When Fu Zuci heard the news that the main force of Yanbei was coming, he knew that this Northern Expedition was about to fail, so he blamed himself.

"Wei Zeng's troops are powerful, and in the face of attacks from three sides, he can still not panic and move towards victory step by step. We underestimated him. Now that the enemy is so united, no one wants to surrender without a fight, and it is surprising that there is such a strong resistance. The failure of this Northern Expedition has failed, but I would like to personally meet Wei Zeng. Find out what kind of character he really is. Although the northern people are not afraid of death, they are so united, it can be seen that Wei Zeng is also deeply popular. If a saint is born, maybe we can still talk about it. Fan Jiyi closed his eyes and said.

"A saint is born! How could Brother Detention say that? It was only because of a moment of luck that he developed to the point where he is now. In my opinion, it's okay to say that he is a hero in troubled times, saint! You're wrong, brother. Even if he occupies the entire Central Plains, with all the strength of my Jiangnan Sixth Road, he can also form an army of 300,000, and he may not be able to say who will kill the deer at that time? Fu Zuci said excitedly, his face flushed with urgency, and his beard was still shaking after he finished speaking.

"Why should Brother Zu Ci be excited, didn't I say that I wanted to meet him? If he is the kind of careerist who only has power in his eyes, and fights his last drop of blood on Jiangnan Liulu, I will not let him take advantage of it. But as long as he still has some good thoughts in his heart, we still have room for looping. The duel between the armies is another life-wrenching duel. At that time, the teacher said: 'Millions of corpses and thousands of miles of blood, but the world can be peaceful, I will do it.' 'What was our reaction?' Are we really going to go down this path? Fan said.

"At that time, we didn't understand and thought that everything could be solved peacefully. Now it seems that what the teacher said back then was also right. Competing for the world, isn't it just you and me, where is there any room for looping? As long as the world can be unified, we can naturally implement benevolent government and let all the people in the world live a happy life. Fu Zuci replied.

"Wrong is wrong, right is right, there are no excuses, and there is no reason to reverse right and wrong. If you can, do everything now. Waiting for the future? Who knows what will happen in the future? I will meet with Wei Zeng, whether to fight him to the death, or to seek another solution. I'll make a decision. Fan Jiyi closed his eyes and said.

Wei Zeng led the main force of Yanbei to the Xuhuai territory, and the Jiangnan army was strictly organized, and it seemed that a major battle was inevitable. Between the two armies, it was very quiet, except for the sound of the wind and the neighing of horses.

One of the Jiangnan troops came to Wei Zengjun, saying that Fan Zhiyi, the governor of Jiangnan, had something to say, and then a team of chariots and horses walked out of the Jiangnan array and came to the front of the two armies.

"What is the enemy doing, and what is there to say about the two armies fighting? It can't be their machia. Huang Yufei said.

"Now that Fan Yuyi has come to the front of the battle, I don't seem to have the courage to go, I also want to see what kind of role this Jiangnan governor is." Wei Zeng saw that among the other party's carriages and horses, a person wearing Confucian clothes came to the front of the car, showing that he was defenseless, and did not flinch, and led several guards to meet him.

"I don't know what you're looking for me, it seems like we don't know each other. The battle between the two armies is your death and death, but it cannot be solved in a few words. Wei Zeng said to Fan Yuyi.

"Could it be that General Wei is also the kind of person who likes to kill? Could it be that General Wei likes to fight like this all the time? Fan asked Yiyi.

"What if you like it, and what if you don't like it? Anyway, the battle must be fought. If I don't hit people, they will come and beat me. The war in the land of Xuhuai. Isn't it just what you Jiangnan people provoked? You have come to fight, can I not fight? Wei Zeng said with a smile.

"The world is set to be one, and only by achieving reunification can we end the war, and there is no way to do it. General Wei has unified the Central Plains, will you let us go of Jiangnan? In order to protect ourselves, we can only choose to fight. Fan Yuyi's face sank and said.

"I'm also protecting myself. From the very beginning. It's just that as my strength grows stronger, everyone comes to attack me. If you don't feel safe, why should I feel safe? Am I willing to see those close to me die in war? But can I stop fighting? If I don't fight, I lose everything I have. Wei Zeng said.

"Why does General Wei only think about himself, doesn't he know the two words of the world?" Fan Yuyi sneered.

"The world is full of people, I think so, and so do other people. So you have to fight. I can't be alone, but the people I meet. I hope they can die well. I have people to protect now, and I only want to protect them to the end. I see that you are also a person who understands, so I ask you, can you choose to give up all fighting? Wei Zeng asked.

"Naturally not! If you give up the fight and let this world go down, that's hell. Fan replied.

"If you can't give up, you can only persevere. It's useless to say more, let's see the real chapter on the battlefield. Wei Zeng said that he was going back.

"Wait. Isn't there no second way to go except to fight to the end? Why bother. Why bother to know that there is suffering ahead, but to bump into it. Maybe just take a step back, everything is the sea and the sky. Fan said.

"Take a step back? So who is going to take the first step! Who can trust whom? There are so many treacherous things in this world, not to mention that we are not familiar with them at all. Wei Zeng smiled bitterly.

"I'm willing to take the first step back, as long as I can get a promise from General Wei." Fan said.

"Oh? What do you want me to promise? Will you believe me if I promised? Wei Zeng asked.

"I've seen a lot of people, and I don't think I'll be wrong. As long as General Wei promises to be willing to settle all disputes peacefully with us in Jiangnan. I am willing to withdraw my troops from Xu Huai. Fan said.

"Is it good to make a covenant and make friends from generation to generation? I'm afraid it's a little difficult, who can hold on to a paper covenant to the end. Wei Zeng said with a smile.

"The world is one, and I haven't changed that view. Just a unified way, and it doesn't necessarily need war. Fan said.

"That is your submission. Or we surrender, there will always be one side that will bow its head. I'm not going to bow my head. As for you, I don't think so. Wei Zeng tilted his head and smiled, obviously not believing Fan Zhiyi's words.

"I heard that General Wei set fire to the palace of Jingshi. Why? Don't you want to ascend to the throne and enjoy the glory of congratulating from all directions? Fan didn't answer, but changed the subject.

"There is no one more humble than another, and no one is more noble than another. Letting the world be bloodied for the sake of a seat is a mistake in itself. Something dirty, only fire can purify it. Wei Zeng said, with anger in his eyes.

"I've guessed a few, but I'm still surprised to hear your answer. Since that's what you're thinking, there's definitely a possibility that we're looking for a second way. The power of the world naturally belongs to the people of the world. When there is no power in the world, it will naturally be a great harmony. It's not an easy road, but having a partner can at least be more confident. I will withdraw my troops and leave here, and as for the specifics, we can send messengers to communicate with each other. I am also willing to use my influence to make the world shed a little less blood. I believe there will always be a second way. Fan said.

"It's good that you're willing to withdraw your troops, and I don't want my people to die in vain. But I advise you not to be naïve, it's not that simple. Wei Zengyi frowned and replied.

"I, Fan Yuyi, once helped the teacher pacify Jiangnan, but because of a persuasion, I was exiled to the barren land in the south. After eight years, it has finally achieved its current status. Naive, haha, I didn't expect this word to be used on me, it's funny. Maybe I'm naïve. General Wei, we will definitely see each other again. When we meet again, we won't be on the battlefield as we are now. After Fan Jiyi finished speaking, he led the army to leave.

"The enemy is really retreating, are we going to pursue?" Huang Yufei saw the retreat of the Jiangnan army, so he asked Wei Zeng, who had returned to the military formation.

"No need, let's go to Kanbei and drive the Yaodong people away. That Fan Zhiyi is a little stupid, maybe as he said, he can find a second way. Wei Zeng said.

But just when Wei Zeng's army arrived in Shifeng City, a news came that Guiwucheng had surrendered to the Ding brothers, and now Guanbei had been completely occupied by the Yaodong people.

After Sagali's main force was defeated by the Ding brothers that day, the officials of Lu Ye City and Hebing City lost the confidence to resist and immediately surrendered the two cities. The Yaodong army entered Luye City and Hebing City, and established a foothold in Guanbei.

The arrival of Wei Zeng's reinforcements made the defenders of Guiwucheng very excited, and their will to fight became very strong. When the Ding brothers heard the news of Wei Zeng's arrival, they withdrew their main forces into the city, intending to hold on to resist.

However, the main direction of attack of the Yanbei army was not Guanbei, and the troops who came to Guanbei really could not change the existing situation. And Wei Zeng asked the army he brought to take a defensive position, but he left Guanbei, which also made the people who returned to Wucheng lose confidence.

Feng Zhuyuan was defeated and fled back to Wucheng. Sajiali's death was related to his defeat in battle, so Feng Zhuyuan had always been worried that Wei Zeng would punish him, and he had always been uneasy.

The Yaodong army quickly found out the actual situation of the Yanbei army clearly, and came to the vicinity of Guiwucheng, intending to conquer Guiwucheng before the main force of Yanbei arrived.

There was a panic in Guiwu City, and the wind group that had become the real ruler of Guiwu City was even more terrified.

The Breez had always wanted official recognition and gotten rid of the gangster's name, and with Wei Zeng's support, the Breez achieved this. But now, the Yaodong army is approaching the city, and the Wind Regiment is facing the danger of being wiped out, and they can't help but have doubts.

Yanbei's army was delayed. The big and small officials in Wucheng found Feng Zhuyuan and persuaded him to give up resistance. In the end, the Ding brothers sent someone to spread the word that as long as they were submissive, everyone in Wucheng could keep their current status unchanged.

Finally, after some weighing, the people of the Windrush Group chose to betray Wei Zeng and submit to the Ding brothers. (To be continued.) )
