The loss of the two cities caused considerable pressure on Chu Bai.

I wanted to hold on until the beginning of spring, but it was only more than half a month, Rong Ting and Gongsun Wei were defeated, and Nie Wei was left to stick to Yuan County.

Rong Ting can also understand that being cut off from the water by the enemy, coupled with the instability of the people's will, led to the loss of defense, and it is not a crime of war. Chu Bai was very disappointed in Gongsun Wei, he shouldn't have lost his position, just because he was immoral after drinking too much, he defiled his subordinates' wives, which was a big deal for himself!

At the same time, I feel depressed.

Dewey and Ding Mu broke through Yong'an and Lüliang, and they would definitely rush to the aid of the surrounding areas. If he went north to assist Wang Wei, it would be difficult for Nie Wei to hold on, and if he rushed to Qingshan, he would have a headache.

How good is that?

Civilian and military officials were hurriedly convened for discussion, but no one came up with a constructive strategy.

Seeing this scene, the chief bookkeeper Fu Kun came out again and said sincerely: "Envoy, now that the situation has been decided, Ning Ze's army is pressing the border, and it is difficult to resist. According to this scene, I am afraid it will be difficult to delay until the beginning of spring. It is foolish to think that surrendering as soon as possible can avoid the misery of the lives and preserve the strength. ”

"Shut up, the rich master is bent on surrendering, how much benefit has he received from Ning Ze?" a general beside Chu Bai scolded angrily.

"This official is worthy of his heart!" Fu Kun sighed, "Even if you know that this battle will be lost, you should make a decision!"

"Envoy, this person bewitches the people and disturbs the hearts of our army, so he should be beheaded!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The last general seconded it!"

......

For a while, Chu Bai's subordinates demanded that Fu Kun be beheaded.

Chu Bai was actually not happy, Fu Kun persuaded himself to surrender, which side was it?

But he also knows very well in his heart that Fu Kun will not betray himself, but he disagrees with others. As far as he is concerned, it is also thoughtful that he will come forward.

While the crowd was excited, he insisted on his own opinions, which made Chu Bai fall into a dilemma.

Seeing this, Geng Zhi and the others naturally wanted to protect the main descending faction, and when the time came, they would all help themselves.

Therefore, they stood up one after another: "The last general believes that the rich master has no dissent!"

"Killing loyal ministers in battle is a big taboo!"

"Don't kill a minister because of a difference of opinion!"

......

After they came forward, many people followed.

Chu Bai came down the steps, but he had to take care of another group of officials and generals, so he said: "Although Fu Kun is not at fault, he does have the heart of chaos to persuade the army to surrender. However, if the crime is not to death, the first few days of detention will be counted as a light punishment, and the next time it will not be committed!"

Fu Kun sighed helplessly, and responded with his hand: "Thank you!"

The soldiers took Fu Kun to the prison and imprisoned him, and then the civilian and military generals discussed for a long time, but they had no idea. The conclusion is to continue to hold on to the city and stall for time.

Chu Bai is helpless, he doesn't have an outstanding mastermind under him, let alone an invincible general, it's difficult!

Fu Kun was in prison, but he was actually quite disappointed.

If he could, he would not be willing to persuade Chu Bai to surrender, but the situation was like this, since he knew that there was no way to resist, why bother to make a meaningless struggle? Ning Ze is now short of people, if Chu Bai can put down his dignity and surrender to the past, he will definitely be reused, and it may not be worse than now. Stubborn resistance will only annoy the other party, and the fate of Rong Ting and Gongsun Wei is vivid.

Of course, he can also understand Chu Bai's thoughts, and it is better to surrender Lu Cong, at least nominally, to join Emperor Hui's camp. But Ning Ze pushed Princess Yuanxi out, and most people found it difficult to accept being her courtier, even if everyone thought that Princess Yuanxi was just a puppet, and it was not easy to pass psychologically.

However, with Ning Ze's strength, he really faced Lu Cong, and it is not yet known who will kill the deer. Maybe he will be able to dominate the world in the future! Even if Ning Ze is defeated by Lu Cong, as long as he ensures that the strength in his hands is not reduced, it will be the key to switching to Lu Cong in the future and being reused!

Fu Kun knew that Chu Bai was not enough to compete with Ning Ze, Lu Cheng and other princes and powerhouses to dominate the world, at least make good use of the chips in his hand in exchange for a pivotal role in the future, which was the best way out.

I tried my best to plan for it, but I ended up at this point, and I was a little disheartened, knowing that I had the idea of resigning and not doing it.

When it was time for dinner, the jailer said to him, "Rich master, someone has brought you food!"

He was only temporarily imprisoned, and he did not commit any crimes, and the jailers knew that he would be released soon, and no one was left behind.

Fu Kun thought that it was his family who delivered the meal, but it was Shui Cao Pengshi Zhang Yang who came.

Zhang Yang is in charge of the water conservancy project in Qingshan County, and he often deals with Fu Kun because of his work, but his private friendship is average, so this time he came to deliver food to Fu Kun is particularly puzzled.

Zhang Yang asked the jailer to open the door, and after entering, he brought good wine and food to Fu Kun, and said with a smile: "Master, you have suffered!"

"It's a trivial matter!" Fu Kun looked at Zhang Yang, "This official has no personal relationship with Zhang Shuicao, why ......?"

Zhang Yang poured two glasses of wine, one of which was handed to Fu Kun: "Xia Guan just thinks that the master book is sincere, but he is treated like this, which is very unfair!"

Fu Kun felt something in his heart, and sighed helplessly: "The envoy uses the city in his hand as a bargaining chip, and turns to Ning Ze to protect his power." It's a pity that the house is up and down, hey......"

"The main book's thoughts, I know everything!" Zhang Yang said, "Xia Guan admires the master book, and I would like to toast you here!"

Fu Kun nodded and drank with Zhang Yang.

The two drank and ate, and there was no small talk.

When the wine was half-drunk, Zhang Yang glanced back, made sure that the jailer was far away enough, and said to Fu Kun in a low voice: "Chu Envoy Jun is determined to fight to the end, and the outcome has been decided. If you are alone, you can follow the envoy to die generously and leave a name for eternity. It's just that the master bookkeeper has all the old and the young, so he should make a decision as soon as possible!"

Fu Kun is not a fool, when he heard this, he immediately understood the other party's intention, looked outside carefully, and asked in a low voice: "Zhang Shuicao wants to vote for Ning Ze?"

"We have already met seven people, and we want to open the city gate to invite Ning Ze in. Zhang Yang whispered, "Although it is foolproof, it is always good to have a little more strength." Would you like to help?"

Fu Kun's heart moved: "This official is now in this prison, and it is difficult for him to protect himself......"

"If the master book signs the blood book and forms an alliance with us," Zhang Yang secretly took out a white cloth from his arms and said in a low voice, "I will have our own way to save the master book from prison and discuss major matters together!"

Fu Kun took the white cloth and looked at it, the content of the alliance was written with a brush, to the effect that they formed allies and secretly sacrificed the city, took care of each other, and never betrayed. Then the signature was written in blood, and he was familiar with the names of all seven people, including Geng Zhi and Zhang Yang.

These seven people are the ones who pleaded for himself just now, and he still remembers this kindness. Coupled with his disappointment with Chu Bai, Fu Kun decisively bit his finger and wrote his name: "The trend of the times is unstoppable!

"Okay!" After he finished writing his name, Zhang Yang hurriedly put it away. If you write the letter of alliance, you are not afraid that Fu Kun will regret it, even if you are caught with this thing, the other party will be involved and will not be able to get out, "Tonight, someone will come to answer and leave the prison with the master book." After the master book went out, he immediately went back to gather the guards of the family and joined forces with us. Don't leak the rumors, when the time comes, the city will be surrendered, and it will be a great achievement to take Chu Bai!"

"This official can save it!"

Fu Kun waited until late at night, drowsy, and sure enough, someone entered the prison to replace the original jailer on duty.

After the shift change, the men quietly opened the cell where Fu Kun was located, pushed a person who was similar to him into the prison, and beckoned Fu Kun to leave quickly.

Fu Kun immediately followed them out of the prison and hurried all the way home.

The family was surprised to see him come back late at night. I know that he is in prison, maybe he will be released one day, he has just delivered food before, and he has not heard anything from him, why did he suddenly appear at home?

Fu Kun didn't explain much, told the family not to panic, and immediately called the family guards.

On the other side of the city, Geng Zhi, who was in charge of the guard, Zhang Yang, Shuicao Pengshi, and the other five people who signed their names on the blood book, namely Bicao Peng Shi Dong Guo Huan, Cang Cao Peng Shi Xinkuo, thief Cao Peng Shi You Wanjun, Duan Cao Peng Shi Guan Shuwen, and the scripture scholar Shang Bolao, all gathered together with their subordinates or family guards.

After Fu Kun brought people over and united with these seven people, Geng Zhi ordered people to raise fire on the city wall.

After a while, a firelight appeared in the darkness outside the city, and Geng Zhi was coded.

"Gentlemen, success or failure is here!" Geng Zhi immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.

When the city gate was lowered, Ning Ze's army swarmed in.

The person at the head was Ning Ze himself, and Mi Yan accompanied him, leading the army into the city.

Geng Zhi, Zhang Yang, Dong Guo Huan, Xin Kuo, You Wanjun, Guan Shuwen, Shang Bolao, and Fu Kun led people to greet each other and saluted respectfully: "Xiaguan greets the Marquis of Danyang!!"

"You guys open the city and surrender, a great achievement!" Ning Ze said, "Quickly take me into the city to capture Chu Bai, and then you will be rewarded for your meritorious deeds!"

So the eight people led the way and led Ning Zejun into the inner city.

The defenders in the city didn't know that someone had defected, so they opened the city gate to let Ning Zejun in. When I was patrolling the street, I ran into it and thought it was another soldier in the battalion.

As a result, he was raided by Ning Zejun and was caught off guard.

Ning Ze divided his troops and asked Geng Zhi and Fu Kun to take him to capture Chu Bai, and Dong Guo Huan, Xin Kuo, You Wanjun, Guan Shuwen, Shang Bolao and others took several other troops to seize all the gates of Qingshan County.

Geng Zhifu took Ning Ze all the way to the Assassin's Mansion, and the defenders were chaotic and powerless to stop him on the way.

Ning Ze successfully captured the Thorn History Mansion, but he searched through the entire mansion and did not find Chu Bai.

It turned out that before Ning Ze's army reached the Assassin's Mansion, there were defender soldiers who had fled back to report to Chu Bai. Knowing that there were people in the city who rebelled, they joined forces with Ning Zeli, and the enemy army had already killed them. Chu Bai hurriedly took his henchmen and escaped through the secret passage of the Assassin Mansion.

Chu Bai was not found, Ning Ze opened the virtual map to check, and found that a team had somehow left the city and was moving quickly in the direction of Longshou County, Yuanzhou.

Although there was no way to see who the leader of this team was, he could be sure that Chu Bai was among them.

Geng Zhi and Fu Kun couldn't find Chu Bai, and they were very surprised: "Chu Bai should be in the Assassin's Mansion, why can't he find it?"

Ning Ze said: "There must be a secret passage in the Assassin's Mansion, and Chu Bai has escaped from the city through the secret passage!"

"There is such a thing?!" Geng Zhi and Fu Kun didn't know that there was a secret passage in the Assassin's Mansion, and they were shocked.

"You two stay in the city to appease the people," Ning Ze ordered, "The others follow me out of the city to hunt down Chu Bai!"
