"The pillars of Nanshan are scarce, and who is nurtured by love! Now this troubled era is drafting, reckless, and talented! Yao Junheng was standing on a tall building opposite the Huainan Royal Mansion at this time, looking down at the confronting army below.

"Why does Yao Jun have such feelings, can this Zheng Gang be regarded as a pillar of talent?" Pan He put his hands behind his back, looked at the army below with an indifferent expression, and said without looking back.

"Zheng Gang, who is a canine and dolphin, is talented, and how can he be called a pillar!" Mei Buyu snorted coldly and said. And only Fei Du sat on a chair and was indifferent at the scene.

It's not that he thinks that the three people present are wrong, he just thinks that Zheng Gang is not worthy of his own evaluation at all.

The three people present also knew this Fei Du's temperament, so they didn't care about it.

"You're going to be mistaken, I'm not talking about Zheng Gang." Yao Junheng shook his head with a smile and said.

"Oh? Could it be that Yao Jun took a fancy to Zhang Shuliang? Mei Buyu asked with a frown. For this, Zhang Shuliang was silent, and felt that he had nothing outstanding except for being foolish.

"Everyone, don't guess anymore, it's not these people in front of me who I'm feeling." Yao Junheng waved his hand and said.

"Isn't there a good talent in the Wenhui held by your family yesterday that made Yao Jun look up to you?" Fei Du asked as he played with a sharp knife.

"We have been in Huainan for many years, and we should have discovered any lost pearls in this Shouzhou City!" Mei Buyu, as the squire of the Huainan State Officials, is mainly responsible for the management of Huainan State's talent training and official selection.

Therefore, he knows very well about the so-called celebrities in Shouzhou City. In his opinion, most of these people are just rotten Confucians who only know how to talk about sadness and sorrow.

If you really expect them to be officials and do practical things for the people, it is basically tantamount to delusion.

"That's right, during Mr. Shangyang's sudden visit yesterday, he also brought a young junior with him, and he was a rare talent with his elegant speech, extensive and novel views." Yao Junheng recalled Jing Zizheng's demeanor at the banquet last night and couldn't help but admire.

"Oh? To be favored by our famous Mr. Hengshan, it seems that this son is indeed a talent! Mei couldn't help but nod her head.

"Such a talent will definitely take the imperial examination in the end, even if you appreciate him again, it is useless, maybe we will be enemies of life and death in the future." Suddenly, Fei Du poured a scoop of cold water on Yao Junheng and Mei Buyu.

"Fei Du, you are really boring, we just appreciate talents, why do you say such a bad thing?" Mei Buyu said with some displeasure.

"I'm just talking about things." Fei Du still played with the knife in his hand and said disapprerovingly.

"You don't know that this thing is wonderful, and this is the best thing here, but I have not won the imperial examination several times." Yao Junheng said with a fluttering eyebrow.

"What if you don't win? It's hard that you still want to pull him in, don't forget our identity, and don't forget the king's ambition. Fei Du continued to pour cold water on Yao Junheng.

"You also said that the king's ambitions are great, and on the road to achieving his ambitions, he must be assisted by people of insight, and of course those of us who are courtiers will share the king's worries." Yao Junheng was not affected by Fei Du, he still continued.

"Yao Jun is right, the food of the king's Lu bears the king's worries, and we should recommend the virtuous for the king." Mei Buyu also thinks that Yao Junheng's statement is very correct.

"What you say is good, and I can guarantee that if you tell that boy who you are and what you want to be the king, he will definitely go to the government to sue you." Fei Du still thinks that his identity is special, and it is not easy to recruit talents.

"Who knows if you don't give it a try! At most, if it doesn't work, they will be killed. It seems that the Sven Mei Buyu is such a chilling word as soon as he says it.

"Humph! They all say that I am Fei Du is vicious, but compared with you scholars, I am really as merciful as a saint. Fei Du snorted coldly and teased.

"What you are saying has been a small non-gentleman since ancient times, and it is not a husband without poison." Pan He finally turned around and said slightly teasingly.

"Master Pan, don't forget that you are also a scholar yourself." Mei Bu couldn't help but remind.

"Okay, let's discuss the matter of recommending talents later, and we will discuss the current situation at this time." Pan He finally shifted the topic to the matter at hand.

"Does this still need to be discussed? Now immediately send someone to kill Huang Budo who blocked the Xuanwu Gate, and then let Nan Shuai lead the troops into the city, and then kill Mu Qingyun, and everything will be fine. Fei Du, who was sitting on the Hu chair, finally put down the dagger in his hand, and then said coldly.

"Huang Budo is just a trivial matter, what I'm worried about now is how many Huang Budo are still in this city." Pan He said leisurely.

In fact, last night, Pan He asked a group of water bandits to stop pedestrians on the street, not only to test how many people in this Shouzhou City still have their hearts set on the King of Huainan.

He even wanted to use this to lure out all the back hands left by King Huainan before. And last night's move was indeed very rewarding.

They led out more than a dozen forces lurking in Shouzhou City overnight. After a night of strangulation, most of these dozen hidden forces were wiped out by them.

Originally, they also wanted to send someone to kill Huang Budo who was blocking the Xuanwu Gate again, but in the end he gave up this idea.

Because he thought of a better way. Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, this Huang Budo is a gang leader who can't be on the stage, but Pan He knows that this is just Huang Budo's superficial identity.

In fact, he used to be the personal guard of the previous King of Huainan, and the relationship between him and the old King Huainan is still very deep.

And the reason why he is now mixing in the rivers and lakes and becoming the leader of the Freedom Hall is entirely because he wants to change his identity from light to dark.

In this way, he was able to help the king of Huainan deal with some shady things. And his so-called feats of benevolence and righteousness before were just tricks for the world to see.

If it weren't for this, how could the matter of him killing the relatives of the King of Huainan be so easy to solve. And half of the small forces they disposed of last night were of a nature like Huang Budo.

Now that he knew the relationship between Huang Budo and King Huainan, Pan He simply gave them a plan.

He wanted to take this opportunity to give Mu Qingyun and these hidden forces a hard blow. He was already planning to put on a good show for them, a good show that would make them never recover.

At this time, the corners of Pan He's mouth couldn't help but show an evil smile.

"Master Pan, now you will take half of the people from the periphery of the encirclement away, and you are still making such a big fanfare, you are not afraid that Zheng Gang's side will not be able to withstand it all of a sudden?" Although Fei Du's tone was very flat, he still felt that such a plan was a little dangerous in his heart.

"Don't worry, we all said that we can't help the wolf if we don't throw some bait, how can we take down Mu Qingyun, the little wolf cub!" Pan He said disappreciatively.

"I think Master Pan's move is not just as simple as you said!" Yao Junheng smiled.

Although the four of them were in the same boat, they still competed with each other.

And this Pan He, as the absolute leader among the four, although the other three surrendered on the surface, they each had their own thoughts in their hearts.

"Yao Jun seems to have seen it, this time Lord Pan must be using a borrowed knife to kill people." Mei Bu said with a smile.

"Mei Jun, what you said is not right, how can I call it a borrowed knife to kill people!" Pan He didn't care about Mei Buyu's ridicule.

"Lord Pan is really not afraid of the mutiny of the soldiers of the city guard battalion led by Zheng Gang after he was killed?" Fei Du's always cold face finally had some expression.

"Since ancient times, there has been a saying in the book of war that mourning soldiers will win, if Zheng Gang is really killed by accident, I think the soldiers of the city guard battalion will fight bravely to kill the enemy with the same hatred." A bright smile appeared on Pan He's face.

"I've seen people who unload the mill and kill donkeys, but it's the first time I've seen Master Pan who not only kills the donkey after unloading the mill, but even smashes the mill!" Yao Junheng couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head and said.

"Yao Jun, sometimes soft-heartedness can't do big things, imagine that if Zheng Gang doesn't die after we take Huainan Kingdom this time, then Miss Bao Er has a reason to control the power?" Mei Buyu said the real reason why Pan He and others did this.

"But since ancient times, the suppression of rebellion has only punished the head of the evil, Zheng Gang was killed by himself, so why should those soldiers of the city guard battalion be killed?" Although Yao Junheng is a spy of the Yue Kingdom and the head of the Right Mansion of Huainan Kingdom, it stands to reason that he should be a decisive person.

But at the same time, he himself was a Confucian who was familiar with the words of the sages, and he believed that a ruler should follow the path of kingship and benevolence, rather than the way of tyranny and murder.

Although it was not the king of Yue who wanted to kill these people, they had to think about their own king's reputation as subordinates of the king of Yue.

"This is a woman's kindness, Yao Jun, your heart is still too soft!" Mei Buyu, who is also a reader of the Book of Sages, is on the same side as Pan He in this matter.

"If these don't kill the second lady in the future, what will she do with these city guard battalion soldiers after the second lady takes control of the entire Huainan country? These people are all stained with the blood of the Huainan army, if they are not killed, then the Huainan army will be dissatisfied, but if the second lady really orders them to be executed, it seems that she lacks mercy. Mei Buyu patted Yao Junheng's shoulder and explained to him carefully.

"This time, I also think that Master Pan and Mei Jun are right, instead of leaving these two dilemmas to a second miss, it is better for us to solve these problems at the beginning." Fei Du looked at the dagger on the table coldly, and then said word by word.

"Since the three of you are on the same page, I have nothing to say." Yao Junheng had to sigh and said helplessly.

Just as the four of them were talking, a horn suddenly sounded from the place where Zheng Gang and Mu Qingyun were facing each other below them.

With the sound of horns, some men with weapons in their hands and dressed in ordinary people's clothes rushed towards Zheng Gang and their encirclement from the south.

They shouted while rushing back: Kill the traitor, punish Zheng Gang, save the world, and shock the dynasty!

"Your Royal Highness, it seems that the people of the city have come to reinforce us!" Because Mu Qingyun and the others were surrounded by Zheng Gang and them, they couldn't see the situation outside the encirclement at all.

They could only vaguely see some men charging towards the encirclement with weapons in hand.

"It seems that this is the back hand left by the grandfather!" Mu Qingyun looked at the clothes of those people and guessed that these people might be some of the power hidden by the old Huainan King in the people.

Originally, these powers were only used in case of emergency, and at the same time to assist the King of Huainan to do some supervision work.

But I didn't expect them to be enabled one day. With the onslaught of these people, some people on the periphery of the encirclement began to draw their weapons one after another to fight these sudden people.

For a while, the people on the periphery of the encirclement became a little confused, and even the formation of the entire encirclement was a little scattered.

"Slaughter all these rebels for me, don't let them get away!" At this moment, a voice sounded in the crowd on Zheng Gang's side.

The person who spoke was not Zheng Gang, but the leader of a water bandit. As soon as his words fell, the bandits on the periphery of the encirclement immediately began to kill those people frantically as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

The people, who were still imposing, immediately slowed down when they saw the fierce appearance of these water bandits, and then they began to turn around and run away.

Even if some of them shouted slogans to boost morale, they could not contain their rout.

And the bandits who were chasing them were like red eyes, and they killed the scattered people.

No matter how Zheng Gang in the encirclement shouted, they didn't react, they were like vicious dogs chasing bones.

"What a waste, these bastards who don't respect orders must cut them down when they come back!" Zheng Gang roared like an angry lion, waving the long sword in his hand.

But by this time, the bandits had chased the group of people and disappeared into the surrounding alleys.

"Your Highness, now Zheng Gang's encirclement has suddenly decreased, at least five or six hundred people, it is a good opportunity for us to break through!" Zhang Shuliang is also a veteran of the battlefield, and he immediately realized that the fighter plane had arrived.

"Since we can't find my father's body, let's break out of the city now, go to other counties to mobilize their city guards, and then come back to quell the rebellion!" Although Mu Qingyun had nearly 5,000 Huainan troops on his side, he was not 100% sure of defeating the other party, after all, the other party had recruited a large number of water bandits.

"Then we'll break through to the south now!" Saying that, Zhang Shuliang was going to command the army to break through on the side of the encirclement, because the defense on the side of the encirclement was the weakest at this time.

But when he was about to give the order, he was stopped by Mu Qingyun.

"Slow, General Zhang, the group of people who killed just now are really a little strange, they were still imposing at the beginning, but the rebels began to break up before they fired an arrow, and those rebels who chased them would not listen to Zheng Gang's orders and directly break out of the encirclement, which also seems very strange." Although the fighter plane at this time was fleeting, Mu Qingyun was not carried away by the sudden fighter plane, and he immediately expressed his opinion.

And Zhang Shuliang couldn't help but nod after listening to Mu Qingyun's description. In fact, as a veteran of the battlefield, how could he not see this abnormally, although this is likely to be a conspiracy set up by Zheng Gang and them, but it is an indisputable fact that the troops in the south of the encirclement are weak.

As long as they attack the rebels around here, they will inevitably rush to help defend it, and once they help defend the entire encirclement, they will only need to seize the opportunity to break through the opponent's weakness with the least cost.

"In which direction does His Highness think we should break through?" However, although he had his own plan, he also had to consider Mu Qingyun's thoughts.

"They played such a clumsy trick for us in the south, it was nothing more than deliberately showing a flaw in the south to lure us to break through to the south, I think those who just escaped from the encirclement are probably all in ambush in the south at this time, waiting for us to step into their ambush circle!" Mu Qingyun said disdainfully.

"In which direction does His Highness want to break through?" Seeing that Zheng Gang's encirclement had begun to slowly change its original formation, Zhang Shuliang knew that there was not much time left for him.

"We went the opposite way, we were broken through, yesterday morning the inner gate of Xuanwu Gate had been blown down, and now there is only one outer gate left, and we will go out of the city from there!" Although the other three city gates were controlled by the Huainan army, in order to prevent the rebels from escaping or sending reinforcements, Mu Qingyun sent a message to the defenders of the three city gates to seal the inner and outer city gates at the first time.

Therefore, if they had to go out of the city through these three gates at this time, it would have to take a lot of effort. Comparatively speaking, it is much more convenient to go to Xuanwu Gate.

What's more critical is that according to his investigation, there are still about 2,000 water bandits outside the Xuanwu Gate at this time, they have been waiting outside the city all night, if they suddenly go out of the city at this time to kill him, they should be able to completely disperse the other party.

In this way, it can save a lot of time and energy for the next counterinsurgency. Of course, it is also possible that they will be flanked by Zheng Gang and the rebels outside the city, causing them to be besieged again, but it depends on who is faster in their own actions and the reaction speed of the other party.

Regardless, he thinks it's worth the risk. After explaining his thoughts to Zhang Shuliang, Zhang Shuliang also agreed very much.

According to his thoughts, this unexpected tactic should have a miraculous effect, and of course the reason why he thought so was because the more than 2,000 people outside the city were water bandits and not regular soldiers.

If the people outside the city were all regular soldiers, let alone 2,000 people, even if it was 500 people, Zhang Shuliang would not have been able to take this risk.

But the bandits are different, they are just a rabble, and the biggest characteristic of the rabble is that they lack the will to fight, and once they are frustrated, they will scatter in a hurry.

"In this case, I will hand it over to a certain general, and a certain general will definitely kill them!" Immediately, Zhang Shuliang gave his soldiers an order to fight.

The battle for the breakout is on the verge of breaking out.
