Longyou County, an old woman led a group of filial sons and grandsons and a group of officers and soldiers who were forced to go to the dead end to create a miracle. Four thousand people withstand Luo Yishui's fierce attack for several days. The battle of Longyou can be said to be the turning point of the great rebellion launched by Luo Yishui that shocked the continent. Without taking Longyou, of course, he could not seize Zhongping County. Luo Yishui's strategic plan went bankrupt completely. He had no choice but to take the second step and sent Chen Ci to attack Yongping County, and was given a blow by the Taiping Army. The two failures finally forced Luo Yishui to the dead end, which also caused the situation of being trapped in Tongzhou by the soldiers.

The broken Longyou County Town has not been restored, but it is now an important support point for the soldiers of the Dayue court. If Zhongping County Town is the garrison for the court's strategic materials, then Longyou County Town is now the distribution point for all the materials transported to the front line. After all the materials are transported here, they will be distributed to various troops.

If something goes wrong with Zhongping County City, the troops in the front could still rely on the transportation to Longyou to collect supplies for a few days. However, if something goes wrong with Longyou, the troops in the front would immediately have a big problem.

So in Longyou, even though Wu Jian wanted to devote every little force to the battle to siege Luo Yishui, there was still a 3,000-man Hu Ben Army protecting supplies.

The three thousand Tiger Ben Army are a powerful force. In the eyes of the generals of the Taiping Army, it is more difficult to capture Longyou than to capture Zhongping County City.

A huge convoy drove out of Zhongping County. There were all kinds of supplies on hundreds of taels of flatbed trucks. Of course, the army that protected these supplies and the civilians who escorted them all changed.

Zhang Ning's face was defeated, and he shrank in a corner of the carriage, holding his shoulders with both hands, and buried his head deeply between his knees. What happened overnight yesterday completely defeated him.

Of course, it was not only that Zhongping County City was captured by the Taiping Army, but more importantly, the Emperor's previous plan was wrong from the root. The Qin army did not launch an attack on the Taiping Army at all. The Tiger Camp, which was rumored to be completely defeated by the Qin army, appeared in front of him last night. When he saw the Tiger Camp, Zhang Ning, who was also skilled in calculating and familiar with conspiracies, fully understood that His Majesty the Emperor had let Qin Feng and Li Zhi plot.

In this way, it was not Luo Yishui who was surrounded, but His Majesty the Emperor.

Qin Feng's Taiping Army, Qin people's army, and Luo Yishui, who is now trapped in Tongzhou, will become an iron triangle, completely squeeze the Emperor's Majesty on this small territory of Tongzhou until he finally suffocated to death.

He and the emperor are grasshoppers on the same line. After the emperor is finished, he and Zhang are finished.

Old Master Liu, who was sitting opposite him, looked at the other person with a smile. The carriage was shaking and shaking, and the squeaking sound seemed particularly clear in the quiet carriage.

I don’t know how long it has passed, Old Master Liu reached out and patted Zhang Ning on the shoulder: "Sir Zuo Xiang, don’t be so bored, let’s have a good chat. In the past, I couldn’t get to the top, but now, I should be qualified to talk to you well!"

"What are we going to talk about?" Zhang Ning raised his head, his face as pale as a dead person.

"Zhang Xiang, your condition is not good!" said Mr. Liu, "Everyone can tell you are having a problem."

"What else do you want me?" Zhang Ning said. "You want me to go to Longyou with you. Am I here?"

Old Master Liu raised his head and beat him up, haha, "Zhang Xiang, let's talk about something else first. You are not an ordinary person. In this situation, how much hope does your Emperor have to turn the tables?"

Zhang Ning was silent for a moment and said, "Unless a miracle occurs, there is no possibility of a turnaround."

"It seems that Zhang Xiang is still very clear in his heart. If Wu Jian fails, do you think the current crown prince Wu Jing can support the overall situation?" Old Master Liu continued to ask.

"How is that possible?" Zhang Ning smiled bitterly: "The last 50,000 Tiger Ben Army in the imperial court has appeared here. Once these 50,000 Tiger Ben Army are destroyed, how can we resist the rebel attack with the remaining three melons and two dates in Yuejing? Besides, the undercurrents in the country are already in full swing, but it is because Luo Yishui is in trouble and failure is imminent, and the undercurrents underwater appear very calm. Once the Emperor's Majesty is in trouble, Yue will be over!"

"Zhang Xiang and His Majesty the Emperor are melons on a vine. His Majesty the Emperor is finished, are you finished too?" Old Master Liu spread his hands and said.

"Not bad." Zhang Ning admitted.

"The Luo family's souls, hundreds of people, are wailing in the Luo water. Maybe they have already poked their heads out of the water at this moment and stared at the guillotine, to see when your Zhang family's soul will be taken up?" Old Master Liu said lightly.

Zhang Ning shivered, "The success and the success and the defeat of the enemy are, but that's the case. If there really is that day, there is nothing to complain about."

"Zhang Xiangdao is calm, but as far as I know, Zhang Xiang's family is also hundreds of people. I wonder who are there too, are Zhang Xiang so open-minded and willing to die calmly?"

Zhang Ning's face was tragic, and faces flashed through his mind, including those with gray hair, those who were hungry, old, tender, laughing, and crying. He couldn't help but hold his hands tightly, and the blue veins on his hands were exposed.

Old Master Liu, who has been staring at him, said lightly: "Actually, we have given you a way out. Whether you can seize it depends on yourself. Seizing this opportunity, not only do you not have to die, but you can survive too. Although you can no longer enjoy wealth and glory, you are still alive, right?"

"You don't have to lie to me. How could Luo Yishui let me go? You and Luo Yishui conspired to cheat us. Luo Yishui hated me to the core. His Luo family was killed. If the emperor was the first person he wanted to kill, then I would definitely be the second person." Zhang Ning said.

"Who said we were conspiring with Luo Yishui?" Old Master Liu sneered: "Do you think we wiped out 20,000 Chen Ci's subordinates in Yongping County, which is fake? Wrong, that is real. Yue State only needs one master, that is General Qin Feng and Qin, and Yue State only needs one army, that is Taiping Army."

Listening to Mr. Liu's words, Zhang Ning was a little dumbfounded, "If this is the case, how could Luo Yishui give up?"

"What if we don't give up? The form is better than that of others. He doesn't want to burn his hands and be destroyed in Tongzhou with his tens of thousands of soldiers. Then we must agree to our conditions. Let me tell you the truth. After this battle, Luo Yishui will leave, and his subordinates will all surrender to the Taiping Army."

"What did he get? He is willing to do this?"

"Why not?" Old Master Liu smiled and said, "At least, his biggest enemy will die in front of him. He not only avenged blood revenge, but also gave the tens of thousands of brothers who followed him to rebel without hesitation to have a good ending. This is the best ending for him."

Zhang Ning sighed, Old Master Liu said it well, Luo Yishui at least gained nothing.

"And there is one thing you are wrong. When Luo Yishui negotiated with General Qin, he only wanted to kill one person, that is Wu Jian. As for you, maybe he forgot, maybe he didn't bother to kill you at all. You are just a knife under Wu Jian. If you kill Wu Jian, whether you die or not is not in his heart. So, you don't have to take yourself very much. It is precisely because of this that we can open this hole and promise you to survive. If Luo Yishui really wants to kill you, it will not be you who sit in this carriage today, but Jin Dazhong. The effect may not be as effective as you, but you can still succeed."

Listening to Mr. Liu's slightly sarcastic words, Zhang Ning's face turned red and white, and his face changed. A person like him was not afraid of death, but what he feared the most was the contempt and ignorance of others. Now, Mr. Liu was simply slapped in the face naked.

My heart was ups and downs, both angry and relaxed. After all, there was hope for saving my life, and it was not just one of my own lives, but hundreds of lives in the whole clan.

"How can I believe what you said?" He had some expectations, but also some doubts.

"Zhang Xiang, to be honest, even Luo Yishui doesn't care about the people he wants to kill, so we General Qin doesn't care even more about the people we want to kill." Old Master Liu said sharply. "Speaking of this, although you are good at calculating and full of conspiracies, you are just a tool to build up against the Luo family by Wu Jian. Specifically, your Zhang family itself does not have much power. Your power and power all come from the emperor's trust and support. If you don't have skin, where will the hair be attached? Without the injection of live water, you can only be a pool of stagnant water. Even if you have many conspiracies and tricks, how can you perform without this platform? So, just keep one hundred and twenty hearts, as long as you are obedient and save your life, there is no problem. If you can go further and do more for General Qin, the ending may be better."

Zhang Ning lowered his head, was silent for a while, and finally raised his head, "What am I going to do?"

"The most important thing at the moment is of course to take down Longyou County. Wherever you take down, you hit the dying Wu Jian hard on the head. It can speed up his death, so, Zhang Xiang, cheer up, and show your left prime minister. The three thousand tiger soldiers in Longyou County, we don't want to fight hard with them. Although we are not afraid of fighting hard, it can reduce some losses. Why not? Are you right?"

"Okay, I promise you, I hope you will believe it." Zhang Ning's voice trembled a little. Of course, he knew that his decision was equivalent to pushing another hard behind Emperor Wu Jian, who had already fallen off the cliff with half his foot.
