Guide Mansion, the Song camp across the river.

"Liu Dutong, are you okay?"

"It's... It's better for me to ask the Holy Lord for his life and approve Liu Dutong for you to go home and recuperate temporarily! ”

Yang Cunzhong was in the camp at this time, caring about Liu Qi who was constantly vomiting on the couch.

"No... It's okay! ”

"I'm fine!"

"No...!"

As Liu Qi spoke, he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Liu Dutong, you are so sick, you may continue to stay in this barracks!"

"I must, I have to have someone arrange for you to come back to Lin'an for treatment!"

"Someone... Come! ”

Yang Cunzhong saw that Liu Qi was sick like this, of course he was very worried.

"Don't!"

"Don't call anyone!"

"I'm the commander of the East Route Army, if I am sick like this and the soldiers know about it, or go to the thief army, then I still have it?"

"And our army's middle route army has now suffered a big defeat, and now the only hope is to consume the bandit army, and it is our eastern route army that pacifies the Central Plains!"

"If something happens to our Eastern Route Army again, won't this Northern Expedition be a complete failure?"

"What hope is there for recovering the Central Plains in the future?"

"Besides, in order to prevent the Northern Expedition from being defeated, Zhuge Kongming insisted on concealing his illness when he was about to die, and finally made the Northern Expedition army return to Shu intact!"

"So although I understand that I don't have a few days left, I can't delay the army and delay you!"

"I...!"

Liu Qi said to Yang Cunzhong weakly, and inadvertently coughed up a mouthful of residual blood.

"Liu Dutong, why do you bother at this time?"

"You were sick in the first place, so you shouldn't have agreed to the Holy Lord's request to bring troops to this front line!"

"I, Yang, should have rested in the mansion, but I heard that my friend Liu Dutong was going out with illness, so I couldn't rest assured, so I asked Your Majesty for my life to temporarily help Liu Dutong in the name of the staff division of your Northern Expedition!"

"It's a pity... It's a pity that Liu Dutong, you don't listen to me, and always disregard your own safety and insist on going to the front line with the army! ”

"Now, see what you've done to spoil yourself?"

Yang Cunzhong looked unbearable.

"However, for the success of our Northern Expedition and the recovery of the Central Plains, even if I Liu Qi dies here, I am willing!"

"Master Yang, don't persuade me anymore!"

"Ahem... Cough! ”

Liu Qi said and coughed again.

"Alas...!"

"Old general, why bother?"

"It's all at this time, there is a saying, I, Yang, am in front of the old general, I really don't know whether to talk about it or not!"

Yang Cunzhong looked like he wanted to speak at the moment.

"Master Yang, if you have something to say, just say it!"

"Ahem...!"

"We've been friends for so many years, what's so bad?"

Liu Qi's expression was still very painful and uncomfortable.

"Tell the truth, you might as well tell the old general!"

"According to my expedition this time, and the news I got from all over the place, the Holy Lord let us go north to the Central Plains, not to recover our homeland, but just to fear that Xu Ming's regime will become bigger and threaten the Holy Master's own dominance!"

"And from many sources, I know that the Holy Lord had secretly communicated with the Tartars before the Northern Expedition, and not long ago, he didn't know what humiliating and traitorous agreement was reached with the Tartars!"

"So I'm afraid that it is false for us to pacify the rebels and recover the Central Plains this time, and it is true to serve the Tartars and help them get rid of the Xu Ming regime that threatens them!"

"As for the land of the Central Plains, even if we completely wipe out Xu Ming, I'm afraid that these lands will still be handed over to the Jin people in the future!"

Yang Cunzhong couldn't help but say.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"It's impossible for the Holy Lord to betray our Great Song like this!"

"I believe in the Holy One!"

Liu Qi is naturally loyal to Zhao Gou.

"At the beginning, the saint did not save the two saints who were captured by the Jin people!"

"And when Song Jin negotiated peace, you and I were both witnesses, and we haven't seen the scene of the saint's grievances and peace?"

"Although it was said that it was to endure humiliation at that time, why did the Jin people propose to send back Emperor Qinzong, one of the two saints, who was still alive, but the saint refused to accept it, and was even willing to cede the land, so that the Jin people would not return Emperor Qinzong?"

"Last time, the Tartar Emperor Wanyan Liang launched a large-scale northern expedition, you also saw it, after our saint learned the news in advance, he immediately ignored the safety of the army and the people, and fled directly south, and it was under the auspices of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Xu Dashuai that he turned the tide and repelled the Tartars and kept the Song Dynasty!"

"As a result, the crown prince and Xu Dashuai were bent on the Northern Expedition this time to recover the Central Plains, and when the results were achieved, the saint took the opportunity to return to Lin'an, imprisoned the crown prince, and dismissed a large number of anti-war officials!"

"And the forced Xu Dashuai set himself up as the emperor and completely broke away from our Great Song Dynasty!"

"Although the saint now sent us and others to conquer Xu Ming in the name of recovering the Central Plains, he secretly sent people to the Jin people to seek perfection, and even betrayed the interests of the Great Song Dynasty, not only surrendered his identity and changed his name to Wanyan Liang, but also sold the land of the Central Plains, wanting to reach the original boundary of the Huai River with the Jin people!"

"But I heard that it was because the Jin people were insatiable and attached the two cities of Xiangyang and Haizhou, so the Song and Jin collegiality was not completely reached!"

"Isn't it obvious that the Tartars' army has not moved south for a long time now?"

"I just hope that our saint and Xu Ming will lose both sides, and finally the Tartars will come to reap the benefits of the fisherman!"

"But the saint can't control these now, he just wants to keep his throne, steal his life, bully the soft and fear the hard, thinking that Xu Ming is easy to deal with, but what is the result!"

"The middle route army is in a mess, and we can only rely on our eastern route army to support it!"

"So General Liu, don't have those delusions about recovering the Central Plains, even if you recover the Central Plains, sooner or later you will have to be given to that Tartar by our saint!"

"So that's why I've been blocking you, the old general, lately, and I don't want you to take such a risk and attack Xu Ming!"

Yang Cunzhong explained to Liu Qi one by one.

"Yours is just hearsay!"

"The old man doesn't believe it!"

"I don't believe the Holy One would do that!"

"You tell me to go down!"

"Tomorrow I'm going out in person, to... Go and attack Guide! ”

"The old man is dead... Death will also die on the way to the death in battle! ”

"Ahem...!"

Liu Qi coughed up a pool of thick blood as he spoke, and then fainted on the ground.

"Alas...!"

"Old General!"

"I Yang Cunzhong don't believe that you don't understand this!"

"But why are you pretending to be confused?"

"Is it true that people live all their lives for the so-called honor?"

"For the so-called foolishness?"

"Is honor really more important than righteousness, really more important than justice?"

"Although Xu Ming is a thief, he represents the justice of recovering the Central Plains and driving out the Tartars!"

"The saint represents the name of loyalty and patriotism, but the saint, as the king, secretly does humiliating and traitorous deeds!"

"It's ridiculous... Amusing! ”

"Alas...!"

"Maybe I, Yang Cunzhong, have never figured out this!"

"I don't understand this!"

"Maybe that's the helplessness of our people, right?"

After Yang Cunzhong finished speaking, he began to personally take care of Liu Qi, who was already seriously ill.
