After a while, Eunuch Xu came out of the inner room and said repeatedly: "Please go in quickly, the saint will be in the house."

Li Zhen nodded and walked into the courtyard with Zhang Hanjie. The two entered the room and saw Zhu Youzhen dressed neatly and sitting next to several tables, not like she had just woken up. Li Zhen sighed in his heart, and bowed: "Old minister, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand impatiently and said, "Forget it, let's come quickly with General's information!"

"Here!" Li Zhen stood up again, saw Zhu Youzhen's face full of unconcealed anxiety, and sighed inwardly: "If you were not partial to listen and believe, how could you have reached such a field?" Li Zhenqiang restrained himself and carefully described the news that the Wu army had crossed the three passes of Yiyang and captured Yiyang. After the narration was completed, Li Zhen retreated aside and said nothing.

"What? The Wu army has passed the third pass of Yiyang? How could this happen?" Zhu Youzhen suddenly turned his eyes to his favorite minister, but Zhang Hanjie was also helpless in panic. He had to turn his eyes to Li Zhen. Li Zhen coughed lowly and said, "Your Majesty Yiyang is lost, and the Wu thieves on Huai have no worries. Once they make a big move, they are afraid that the situation will be out of control!"

"Then Mr. Li has a countermeasure!"

Li Zhen frowned and said, "If it were more than ten days ago, I would have some solutions. Now at this time, I can only be shallow. Please ask Your Majesty to invite Gao Xian again!"

"You!" Zhu Youzhen stood up suddenly, his fair face suddenly turned red. He was almost furious by Li Zhen's soft nail. This smooth old minister showed a bone-like appearance in front of Zhu Youzhen for the first time, which made him feel angry and surprised.

"Mr. Li!" Zhu Youzhen suppressed his anger and said in a calm tone as possible: "You are the old minister of the first dynasty. When the late emperor returned to heaven, he entrusted him with important responsibilities. Now that the country is in danger, how can you take off your robbery?"

Li Zhen raised his head, his face full of sincerity: "Your Majesty, it's not that the old minister is acting voluntarily. The old minister also knows that the country is in danger now, but when manpower is exhausted, if our army voluntarily retreated more than ten days ago, even if the Wu army broke through the three passes of Yiyang, there would still be a countermeasure. But now the army is already tired of the veterans and hangs alone outside. I am afraid that even if the grandson resurrects, there is no way."

As soon as Li Zhen finished speaking, it seemed to be to confirm the truth of his words. A rumbling sound of cannons came from the south. The cannons were so dense that they were all connected, and they could hardly be heard. Moreover, the cannons were much closer to this place than in the past. Since repelling the Liang army's attack on Fancheng, it may be because the fire was consumed too much. The Wu army has only occasionally fired a few cannons these days, and it was the first time that it was like this.

"What's going on!" Zhu Youzhen stood up, took off his sword from the wall and held it in his hand. Li Zhen hurriedly rushed in front of Zhu Youzhen and whispered: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the Wu thief has made any moves, so I'll go to the military camp before talking!"

"Yes!" Zhu Youzhen nodded, pushed the room away and walked outward, but saw that the outside was already in a group, and the palace and eunuchs who were accompanying him were running around, screaming in a daze, as if Wu soldiers had already killed outside the courtyard.

"Xu Bandang, what's going on!" Zhu Youzhen shouted angrily.

The Eunuch Xu's face was covered in oil and sweat. Even the mink on his head was tilted, and he said anxiously while panting, "Report to the saint, there was a sudden sound of cannons coming, and these sluts were frightened, so—!"

Just now, a Gong NV fell in front of Zhu Youzhen with a scream. Without waiting for Eunuch Xu to scold him, Zhu Youzhen had already cut him to the ground with one knife. The sharp scream suddenly frozen everyone. He stared at Zhu Youzhen's dark blue face in horror. Zhu Youzhen snorted coldly, handed the blood-stained sword to Eunuch Xu, and said sternly: "Who dares to make noise anymore, execute him immediately!"

"Here!" Eunuch Xu bowed and took the sword. The sharp blade showed his pale face, which was very cunning.

On the north bank of the Han River, on the platform beside the floating bridge, Lu Runxeng and Lu Fang and his son stood side by side. At their feet, the Wu soldiers of the brigade were passing through the floating bridge. Not far away, dozens of soldiers were unloading a heavy artillery from a large ship. These heavy artillery were specially transported from Jianye to destroy the solid walls of Xiangcheng. However, Lu Fang's imperial camp was still halfway, and Xiangcheng was captured and used simply for the upcoming decisive battle with the Liang army.

"Runxìng, how long do you think the Imperial Army will be able to cross the Han River?"

Lu Runxìng looked at the floating bridge below and replied in a deep voice: "Report to my father, starting from this morning, eight battalions have been passed, and there are three battalions that have not been passed. If you force your cruising overnight, you will definitely be able to complete them tomorrow before tomorrow!"

"Yeah!" Lu Fang nodded and turned to Jiangbei. On the vast Hanbei Plain, there were large flags of Wu army fluttering in the wind. Each flag represented a new army. Looking at this magnificent scene, Lu Fang couldn't help but feel angry and a sense of pride. This is the result of his struggle for nearly thirty years. Now it is not far from the final victory. He can almost feel the cheers of "Long Live" when he ascended the throne.

Lu Fang shook his head gently, drove this slight dizziness out of his mind, and said to his son with a smile: "Runxìng, after this battle, I will ascend the throne and become emperor, and you are my crown prince. In a hundred years, the world will be yours."

Lu Runxìng was stunned by the amazing news. It took a while before he could feel sorry for it. He hurriedly bowed to his father and knelt down to his father, but he didn't know what to say. Should he congratulate or thank him. Lu Fang reached out to help his son up and asked in a warm voice: "Runxìng, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy when you hear this news?"

\Lu Runxìng shook his head and replied: "It's not the case, but the news is too amazing. The child doesn't know how to answer for a while!"

"So that's it!" Lu Fang smiled and said, "It's just that I, Lu Wu, were on the side before, and insisted on being the grass-headed emperor, was just a silly ridiculous person. Some family didn't want to have this false reputation. Now the king of Liang is weak and strong, and the emperor is personally expedition. As long as I, Da Wu, win this battle, even if Zhu Youzhen can escape back to Bianjing, Liang will fall apart. At that time, I launched a large army to fight the north, and the Central Plains will be my pocket. The world is expected to be unified!" Lu Fang said faster and faster, and he seemed abnormal at this time.

The excitement pointed to the mountains in the distance and laughed loudly: "Child, if you cross that mountain range, it will be the Nanyang Basin, and if you pass the Nanyang Basin, it will be the Shenjing Luoyang. After I pacify the Central Plains, I will set the capital and recreate the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. After the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, the world would have to fight for at least fifty or sixty years. There would be more than one million people suffering from the sufferings. Maybe the land of Hebei would be occupied by the Hu people. If it weren't for my birth, how could the people enjoy peace?" At this point, Lu Fang couldn't help laughing.

Lu Run looked at his father blankly, and Lu Fang, who was usually majestic and respectful, was a little lost at this time. Lu Runxe couldn't understand some of the words his father said just now: How did his father know that there would be a battle in the world for fifty or sixty years? The land of Hebei would be occupied by the Hu people? How did he know that if there were no people in the world, they would not be able to enjoy peace without him? At this time, Lu Runxe suddenly felt strange to the familiar man in front of him. He instinctively took a step back, as if this made him feel safe.

At this time, a personal soldier from the high platform ran up quickly, and when Lu Fang and his son knelt down, he said, "Report to the king, General Chen, General Chen, has led the front army to the outside of Dengcheng and is ready to attack, please give me instructions!"

Lu Fang nodded and said, "Let's start!"

"Here!" The personal soldier responded and ran down the stage quickly. After a while, several cannons were heard not far away. This was a signal to inform the front army. Then, a rumbling sound of cannons came from more than ten miles away. Lu Fang walked to the platform excitedly, narrowed his eyes and looked at the sound of cannons in the distance, but under the gray sky, he could not see anything clearly. He could only vaguely hear the rumbling sound of cannons coming from the distance, as if thunder strikes.

"Transfer the orders, and the camps crossing the river will start to advance slowly. When they arrive half a mile away from the front army, they stop waiting!" Lu Fang ordered loudly, and the military record room waiting on the side quickly recorded it. Then, the cavalry under the high platform rushed towards the battalions with orders. After a while, flags began to slowly move towards the battlefield.

Lu Fang looked at the army moving forward with interest, as if a child was watching his favorite toy. After a while, Lu Fang turned around and said to his heirs: "Now it's our turn to set off!"

Lu Runxìng nodded. As soon as he walked to the platform, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through the sky. Then a thunderbolt blew across the sky, and raindrops as big as mung beans fell down and hit the skin of a man, making people feel a little painful.

"What a heavy rain!" Lu Runxìng looked up at the sky, and saw a hole in the sky. The rain was pouring down like a river of heaven. He immediately became wet. He hurried to his father, trying to help Lu Fang to take shelter from the rain. Lu Fang snorted coldly, pushed Lu Runxìng's hand away, and shouted: "What are you avoiding? It's just some rain. If you go into the formation, even if you are arrow rain, you can't avoid it!"

"Father, the rain is so heavy, I'm afraid it's not good for our firearms. I'd better fight again when I choose a day!" Lu Runxìng shouted loudly.

"The Liang army has already obtained the news that Liu Rengui has broken Yiyang. When they are panicking, if they delay time, there will be changes. It is certainly not good for our arms, nor are they good for the enemy's crossbows. Our fire has been pelletized and treated. As long as we cover it carefully, it can be half-activated in the rain!" Under the erosion of the rain, Lu Fang's face turned a little blue, and his wet hair stuck to his cheeks and forehead, looking like an evil ghost. Lu Run retreated in a cowardly step, his mouth slightly opened, as if he wanted to say something. Lu Fang waved his left arm decisively and shouted: "Send the order, the front army will continue to attack according to the plan!"
