"Brother Ziqiao, all the captives of these dozen acres of land will be handed over to you." Although it has been decided, the captives of more than a dozen acres of land will still make Yan Guang feel very troublesome.

Looking at Yan Guang's appearance, Zhu Qinglan felt a little funny. "Don't worry, I will arrange a regiment to escort them back to Chengdu, and there will be nothing on the way."

"So I'm relieved..."

"Actually, you just need to think so, before the 30 oceans are in hand, how can they want to escape or make trouble?"

Hearing Zhu Qinglan say this, Yan Guang clapped his hands. "That's right."

Just when Yan Guang was happy to solve the problem of captives on more than a dozen acres of land, Zhang Peijue and his two Zhenshu troops had also returned to Tongliang, and of course, the news of the annihilation of the 30,000 army came back earlier.

Looking at the county magistrate and the local gentry who went out of the city to greet him, but their expressions were much more indifferent than before, Yang Shu came to Zhang Peijue's ear and said. "Lie five, let's go back to Yucheng directly."

Zhang Peijue thought about it carefully and nodded, "It's okay." ”

Tongliang City is small, and today's Shu army is also demoralized, plus these obviously uncooperative gentry officials, if they continue to stay in Tongliang, it is not impossible to be defeated by the Sichuan army.

However, the current Shu army is not Zhang Peijue's word, so he still invited all the upper echelons over, and then said his thoughts.

After listening to Zhang Peijue's explanation, the others also nodded. They also see the current situation, compared with Yucheng, Tongliang is indeed not a suitable place for defense, and the current troops also need to make some repairs to rebuild their morale.

The most important thing is that even if it is really impossible, at least they can leave Sichuan safely by water.

Now that the charter has been decided, the Shu army was quickly remobilized. When they learned that Zhang Peijue and others were preparing to leave Tongliang and return to Yucheng, the county magistrate and the local gentry officials, who were originally a little indifferent, also became enthusiastic.

People are realistic, after losing the 30,000 people in Tongnan, for the officials and gentry of Tongliang, Zhang Peijue and his Shu military political axe have no value to rely on and invest. When they come back, they will go out of the city to greet them, but they are just afraid that Zhang Peijue will do something bad to them with the remaining 20,000 people in his hands.

You must know that since the news of Tongnan came back, they have been worried that the Yan Dudu of the Sichuan Army will treat them as Zhang Peijue's gang and clean them up. Now that Zhang Peijue himself proposed to get out, these gentry officials naturally became happy.

If the encounter in Tongliang only made Zhang Peijue feel a little tired, then what he encountered in Yucheng really made Zhang Peijue and Yang Shukan feel a little disheartened.

Looking at the city gate, which was obviously much empty compared to when they set off, Zhang Peijue and Yang Shukan looked at each other and smiled bitterly. "These guys are really more realistic than those people in Tongliang..."

Looking at the scene at present, Zhu Zhihong also seemed a little ashamed. "Fifth Brother Lie, Brother Cangbai, I..."

"Alas, uncle, it's not your fault, if you want to blame, you can only blame these people for being too realistic, and we just happened to lose the battle..." I, Zhang Peijue, have made a lot of friends in Yucheng, but I didn't expect that now there are only a few of you left, and they are willing to come to welcome me..."

As Zhang Peijue said, in addition to the military and political officials of the Shu military and political axes outside the city gate, there were only a few of Zhang Peijue's close friends who came to greet the gentry and celebrities. And the scene at this time is a little too bleak compared with when the Shu army went out.

After listening to Zhang Peijue's words, several of Zhang Peijue's close friends looked at each other and just smiled bitterly.

Apparently they didn't expect this to be the case.

Although he felt physically and mentally exhausted, Zhang Peijue still forced himself to chat with his friends. It's just that a few of Zhang Peijue's friends can also see his current state, so they quit after chatting twice.

After saying goodbye to his friends and returning to the Governor's Mansion, Zhang Peijue leaned back in his chair, not knowing what he was thinking.

The same is true for Yang Shukan and Zhu Zhihong, they just sat quietly, and the three of them sat for more than an hour.

However, just when the soldiers outside the door thought that the three of them would sit like this forever, an officer suddenly ran in from outside.

"Governor, something is wrong!"

"What's the matter?" Looking at the officer who was out of breath, Zhang Peijue asked softly. Today's Zhang Peijue really has a bit of otherworldliness.

Taking two breaths, the officer hurried. "Governor, I just came down to report that many soldiers have begun to flee secretly."

"What?" Zhang Peijue's hand holding the seat tightened, but he quickly let go, and then said disheartenedly. "Forget it, let them run if you want to, leave them alone."

"Governor!" The officer was shocked.

"Let's go out..."With a wave of his hand, Zhang Peijue now looked even more tired than when he came back.

Hearing Zhang Peijue say this, the officer looked at Yang Shukan and Zhu Zhihong, hoping that the two of them could say a few words.

It's just that these two people, one just stared at the ceiling blankly, and the other signaled him to obey Zhang Peijue's orders.

In the absence of any other way, the officer had no choice but to salute Zhang Peijue, and then left silently.

After the officer left, Yang Shukan, who had been looking up at the ceiling, turned his head to Zhang Peijue. "How? Leaving it? ”

"Ah, it's time to leave...", said Zhang Peijue and stood up from his seat. We have already lost, and it is pointless to continue to push the people of the entire city into the flames of war..."

――――――――――

Two days later, when Yan Guang was having a full meal at the home of the magistrate of Tongliang County, envoys from Yucheng who had come to the peace talks also arrived in Tongliang.

From the mouth of the messenger, Yan Guang learned two pieces of news.

First, the Shu military political axe is willing to unconditionally merge into the Sichuan military political axe.

Second, at midnight yesterday, Zhang Peijue, the governor of the Shu army, Yang Shukan, a senior adviser, and Zhu Zhihong, the minister of finance, had already left Yucheng for Hubei by boat with their families.

As for the unconditional merger into the Sichuan military and political axe, it was precisely Zhang Peijue's instructions before leaving.

Although it was very strange why Zhang Peijue suddenly gave up Yucheng, since everyone had already left, Yan Guang didn't want to think about it so much. As he said to Chen Zhenfan at the beginning, he never thought of killing Zhang Peijue and others.

No matter how big the conflict of interests is, at least in some things, Yan Guang still admires them.
