Going across the capital city, Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhang Ning fled back to Yuejing with more than 3,000 remaining troops in a panic. He was the only minister who went to war with the emperor to return. According to him, His Majesty the Emperor fought bravely with Kang Qiao to stop the rear in order to protect the remaining troops from returning to Yuejing, and was eventually besieged and killed by the Taiping Army and Luo tribe.

The Taiping Army has the strength of two masters, which makes everyone in Yuejing take a breath.

The emperor died and Kang Qiao died, and Zhang Ning, who had no martial arts skills, came back alive instead. It was impossible to say that no one doubted him, but because Eunuch Le endorsed Zhang Ning in the palace, Wu Jing's last doubts were also dispelled.

Eunuch Le and Eunuch Xi were the two eunuchs that the emperor trusted most during his lifetime. As soon as Eunuch Xi died, Eunuch Le, who came back, immediately became the only one in the harem.

Zhang Ning is back, and Zhang Ning is still the most powerful figure in Yuejing City. He is even bigger than before, because there was an emperor pressing on him before, but now, Prince Wu Jing is obviously unable to suppress him.

The gate army of Yuejing City led by his son Zhang Jian is now the largest armed force in Yuejing City. The more than 3,000 tribes who fled back with Zhang Ning can also be regarded as Zhang Ning's subordinates. Now, in Yuejing City, except for the little guards in the imperial palace, looking around, all the armed forces are held by Zhang Ning.

In the hall, there was a miserable cloud and mist. Everyone was hanging their heads, and the form was so corrupt that no one could have imagined. Now, they were already in a state of great desolation and were unable to turn the world back.

Zhang Ning glanced at all the ministers in the house. Except for Zhou Tai, the Minister of War, almost all the ministers who were still in Yuejing were gathered here. Zhou Tai was a stubborn guy. A few days ago, he secretly reported to the prince to sweep away the heavens and earth. Although he did not catch anyone, this hatred was formed with the Taiping Army. He had no way out, and the rest of the people didn't think so. Even Su Kairong, the Minister of Revenue who had been following Zhou Tai and sang against him, sat honestly at his home.

"Dad, dad, it's not good!" Zhang Jian ran in from outside like a gust of wind. His nervousness caused another commotion in the hall. It was already like this, and it was still not good enough to go. From there, the death knell that sounded the Great Yue Destruction came.

"What a panic, I'm not looking like!" Zhang Ning frowned and scolded, "If you lose, you won't lose. In front of these ministers, he would also show that he has a calm cultivation whenever he encounters major events.

"Dad, just now, news came from Zhengyang County that Xu Jie was defeated. Zhengyang County had surrendered to the Taiping Army. Now the Taiping Army General Liu Xingwen, Dazhu led an army of nearly 50,000, and was approaching Yuejing from Zhengyang County." Zhang Jian stepped forward a few steps and handed Zhang Ning the letter he had just received.

With a bang, almost half of the people in the hall stood up, and the despair on their faces became stronger. Previously, Xu Jie's army was still a life-saving straw in the minds of some people. The Crown Prince Wu Jing urgently ordered Xu Jie to withdraw his troops back to Yuejing to guard the capital. Not long after he left, Xu Jie would never receive this order.

Slowly opening the letter, Zhang Ning glanced at it, sighed, and said, "Xu Jie is dead. All the soldiers and civilians of Zhengyang County surrendered to the Taiping Army. Now, they have become our enemies."

The hall was silent like death. Zhengyang County was adjacent to Yuejing City. The troops from Zhengyang County were afraid that it would be faster than Qin Feng's main force coming from Zhongping County.

"Everyone, tell me what to do?" Zhang Ning put out his hand, and the paper fell from his hand lightly, and fell silently into the hall.

Who can come up with a solution? Can Zhou Tai say that arm all the young and strong cities in Yuejing? Even if those young and strong people who have not received any military training can stand on the top of the city, how can they resist the Taiping Army like wolves and tigers?

"Did the Qi people just watch us destroy?" A weak voice came from the corner, "Left Prime Minister, if the Qi people can send troops to attack the Taiping Army's nest, we may be able to save it. Qin Feng is the son-in-law of the Chu people. If he is given power, the Qi people can have a good life. When the Chu people and Qin Feng join forces, they will be attacked from both sides."

"Relying on Qi people?" Su Kairong sneered: "If Qi people were reliable, they would have sent troops long ago."

Zhang Ning also sighed: "The people of Qi also have to weigh the benefits. They raised a wolf themselves, and the bitter fruits they have to swallow by themselves. I am afraid that what they want to do most now is how to get closer to Qin Feng and continue to find ways to expand the conflict between Qin Feng and Chu to maintain this fragile balance, there is no other way."

What Zhang Ning said is right. Qin Feng is indeed a hungry wolf raised by Qi himself.

At the beginning, Qin Feng occupied Yanshan and started building Taiping City. In the eyes of the Qi people, it was just a bandit army. Later, the Shuntian Army rose, swept Changyang County, and attacked Shayang County. In the eyes of the Qi people, Molo was much more dangerous. If Molo gained power, there was a great possibility that he would lead troops to attack Qi and try to recover the land that Yue State was taken away by the Qi people. Molo would naturally be eliminated. At that time, the Qi court had already begun to mobilize troops to prepare to deal with the Shuntian Army.

However, the Taiping Army rose strongly and made a big splash. It joined forces with the five major leaders led by Mr. Liu of Shayang County, defeated the Shuntian Army in Shayang County, and drove Molo back to Changyang County.

But even so, Qin Feng's strength at that time was still weak, and it was worse than the Shuntian Army. The Qi people became determined to drive away wolves and attack tigers, so they vigorously joined forces with Qin Feng to open the door of business to the Taiping Army, allowing the Taiping Army to make enough money. But what the Qi people did not expect was that Qin Feng actually took over the five Shayang people and integrated their power so quickly that in a blink of an eye, the Taiping Army formed a powerful force.

In the eyes of Qi people, Molo, another tiger, was too unscrupulous. In the battle with the Taiping Army, he was in a mess and internal strife broke out. Wu Xin, the top general of the Shuntian Army, died in an unknown way. The Taiping Army took the opportunity to advance straight in and completely defeated the Shuntian Army.

At this point, the Taiping Army has grown from a weak bandit at the time to a powerful armed force that can affect the situation on the entire continent.

At this time, the Qi people wanted to launch an army again, but it was too late. They had to consider the consequences of sending troops to destroy the Taiping Army. The war was going well. If it was not going well, it was very likely to anger Qin Feng and completely push this originally swaying enemy to the Chu people. That would be a loss.

After all, the combat effectiveness of the Taiping Army has been confirmed by the Qi people through countless war examples and verifications.

What should I do? Qin Feng became a back thorn in Qi's eyes, which was not enough to beat him, leaving behind endless troubles.

Silence has actually become the attitude of Qi people towards the situation in Yue Kingdom now.

And this attitude sounded the last death knell for the Yue people.

What does raising a tiger mean? This is. Zhang Ning lamented in his heart that Qi people used their own small abacus, but after all, human calculations were not as good as God's calculations. It made Qin Feng, a small Chu people's death camp lieutenant, grow into a giant crocodile, and was opening his bloody mouth and staring at him.

"The Qi people are extremely hopeful." He sighed: "If they attack the Taiping Army, it is very likely that Qin Feng's army will turn around and start a war directly against them. The Chu people will definitely not miss such an opportunity and will inevitably take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack. Cao Yun finally reversed the war situation in Gaohu. In this way, he will inevitably fall into trouble again. More importantly, the Qin people are also watching. If they anger the Taiping Army and the Taiping Army launches an attack on the Qi people, the Qin people will also take advantage of the situation to attack. Under the attack on three sides, the Qi people will be very uncomfortable. You must know that the Chu people want to destroy Qi, the Qin people want to weaken the Qi people's strength, and we, Dayue, are unable to take care of ourselves at the moment and cannot use any energy at all. Moreover, even if Qin Feng leads the army to turn around to fight against the Qi people, the Qin people will definitely take advantage of the situation. We are still destructive for the country to be destroyed."

Everyone in the hall lowered their heads, and Zhang Ning's analysis was incisive and intimate, but the conclusion made everyone even more depressed, that is, the Yue Kingdom was over.

"It is better to let Qin Feng succeed than to perish by the Qin people." Zhang Ning stood up and suddenly said, "Although Qin Feng is a Chu person, he has a grudge against Chu State. His troops and ministers are basically composed of Yue people. Even if he controls Yue Kingdom, at least, the people of Yue Kingdom will be less guilty. If the Qin people succeed, then Yue Kingdom will be really finished. Everyone should be aware of their greed. They will wipe out all the wealth of our Dayue people and use it to supplement the bottomless pit in their country. At that time, let alone wealth, even their lives will be difficult to protect."

Everyone looked up at Zhang Ning in shock. The subtle meaning in this sentence was too obvious, that is, the left prime minister seemed to be ready to surrender to the Taiping Army.

"The Zuo Prime Minister has made sense, but the Crown Prince..." Su Kairong raised his head with some embarrassment and looked at Zhang Ning. "As far as I know, Lord Zhou Taizhou is planning to make His Crown Prince ascend the throne immediately!"

"Zhou Tai is not aware of the current affairs. He will harm all of us and the people of Dayue. If the prince is there, I will say that for the sake of the people of Dayue and for everyone's wealth and life, I will persuade the prince to open the city to welcome the Taiping Army into the city. In this way, at least the royal ancestral temple can be guaranteed. If the Taiping Army attacks in..." Zhang Ning glanced at everyone, "I won't tell you the scene of the army entering the city, and everyone understands it."

Everyone shuddered. If the enemy attacked the city, they would be afraid that they would fall into blood and fire when they crossed the capital well. How could the enemy who suffered losses in the siege of the city not take revenge? And at that time, even if the Taiping Army did not want to cross the capital chaos, the soldiers with red eyes could not be easily controlled. Even if they were small-scale, they would not be able to stand it. And these people were undoubtedly the best targets for these rioters to take advantage of the chaos.

"Su is willing to follow the left prime minister." Su Kairong stood up first.

"I wish to follow the orders of the Left Prime Minister." The others also stood up one by one. (To be continued.)
