At night, outside Prince Yu's mansion.

The gate of Prince Yu’s mansion, which had been sealed for a long time, looked a bit desolate, and under the moonlight, it also seemed a bit gloomy.

A team of Jizhou troops patrolled from a distance, and the leader raised his right hand, and the team immediately stopped.

The man in the lead was wearing a uniform of a military captain in Jizhou. After looking around, he pointed at Prince Yu's mansion.

Several soldiers rushed over and jumped into Prince Yu's mansion, and then opened the small door from inside. The main door was blocked by iron chains. It was difficult to open and easily noticed.

The team of hundreds of people quickly entered through the small door, and the people who stayed outside fixed the seal on the small door again.

If there weren't many wounded soldiers who could not climb over the wall, they wouldn't have opened the gate of the seal.

When he entered the yard, the captain took off the iron helmet from his head and handed it to the personal soldiers beside him. He looked at the moonlight reflected in the water tank in the distance. He quickly walked over and washed his face with the water in the tank.

The cold water stimulated him and his spirit recovered a little.

"Major General."

One of them asked in a low voice: "Let's hide here for the time being?"

Luo Jing, dressed as a military captain in Jizhou, nodded and said, "This place is safe. You can hide for the middle of the night and find an opportunity to return to the underground palace when there are few people in the second half of the night."

The person who asked him about the personal guard Luo Zhijie, he nodded, then went back to the team and arranged for a secret whistle to be on duty.

Not long after, Luo Zhijie came back and he was extremely tired. Seeing Luo Jing sitting down on the steps, he walked to Luo Jing and squatted down and asked, "Major General, do you want to eat some dry food?"

Luo Jing shook his head and said, "If you still have dry food on you, give it to your brothers."

Luo Zhijie waved to a soldier, handed him the dry food bag, and ordered him to distribute it to everyone.

He still couldn't help but ask curiously: "How did the Major General guess? It's not the general who attacked the city outside the East Gate."

Luo Jing smiled and said, "How could my father be so superficial when he uses military service? Do you still remember that I asked you to send someone to tell my father about our attack on the East Gate?"

Luozhi Node Head: "Remember."

Luo Jing said: "From my understanding of my father, he will deliberately let the Qingzhou army or the Yuzhou army attack. Do you know why?"

Luo Zhijie shook his head and said, "I can't understand the subordinates."

Luo Jing smiled and said, "Whoever attacks first will be caught here, he will be unable to move left and right, and it is difficult to advance and retreat in front and back. If you really fight, whoever is in the middle will die first."

"If my father wants to move troops, he will be behind the Yuzhou army or the Qingzhou army. The two teams are in harmony. Once I open the city gate, the two armies will immediately fight themselves. My father is behind, and he will fuel the fire."

Luo Zhijie said: "The general will kill the two armies from behind and you will be able to win a great victory."

Luo Jing said, "You are so smart when you are smart. My father said that I would study hard with you, but I am really stupid when you are stupid."

Luo Zhijie was stunned and did not understand the Major General's meaning for a while. Could it be that he was wrong?

Luo Jing said: "My father will naturally attack behind the two states' military and horses. It's just that it's just a good thing. It makes people think that he has entered the game. Naturally, the later the situation, the better. Unfortunately, Cui Yan can't see it. Liu Li, who is known as Prince Wu's most powerful beloved general, may not see it."

Luo Zhijie thought about it carefully and suddenly realized.

"General, he..."

Luo Jing shook his head and said, "The current situation is still unclear. My father definitely won't make his statement so quickly. A few months ago, my father sent me a letter with only eight words on it... Don't be impatient, look at the cloudy and clear sky, he didn't state it, but I probably guessed something."

Meanwhile, on the city wall.

Zeng Ling leaned against the wall and pondered for a long time, and no one dared to disturb him. Even the injured Liu Ge came over and wanted to say something, but he still endured it.

After a long time, Zeng Ling let out a long sigh and then smiled bitterly.

Only then did he see Liu Ge waiting for him not far away, so he called Liu Ge's name, and Liu Ge hurried over.

Zeng Ling reached out to support Liu Ge and asked, "How is the injury?"

Liu Ge said: "Don't worry, sir, it's not in the way."

Zeng Ling looked back at the outside of the city. In the dark night, the torches outside the city were like stars.

"Do you understand now?"

Zeng Ling asked Liu Ge.

Liu Ge was coming to find Zeng Ling, because he suddenly had some thoughts in his mind, and he said tentatively: "Luo Geng did not plan to enter the game, but was urging others to enter the game later?"

Zeng Ling nodded and said, "It turns out that you thought of it too, earlier than I thought of it... You see, he seemed to be attacking hard behind the Qingzhou army, but in fact he was forcing the Qingzhou army to squeeze the Yuzhou army."

Liu Ge nodded: "He didn't want to exert force, but forced Cui Yan to exert force, pushing Liu Li's Yuzhou army to the front, but the Green Eyebrow Army of Yanshan Camp arrived and squeezed the Yuzhou army to the back."

Zeng Ling said: "No matter who is in front, as long as someone is in front, Luo Geng will be laughing from ear to ear."

Zeng Ling breathed a sigh of relief and looked at a very far place. It was the location of Luo Geng Youzhou Army.

"Luo Geng deliberately fell to the end. Even if Cui Yanlai did not intend to attack the Yuzhou army, as long as Luo Geng's army squeezed forward, the Qingzhou army would have to move forward..."

He sighed and said, "We all lost."

Liu Ge asked, "Sir, do you want it..."

Zeng Ling shook his head: "At this time, no one can get out of here, especially me."

His gaze looked further away and said in a heavy tone: "The order Luo Geng must be the new emperor of our Great Chu. I am so proud that I forgot that there will be a new sun rise in the sky and a new moon shines in the night."

He seemed to have seen that where he could not see, the Emperor of Great Chu was smiling proudly.

But he saw the wrong direction.

To the northwest, the Yanshanying camp had to go northwest about 200 miles. The army coming from Youzhou was not in a hurry to move forward. As soon as the sky darkened, they stopped to rest.

Prince Wu Yang Jiju came back from the former army and walked to a young man and leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, the night wind is cold, so let's go back to the tent to rest."

"It's okay."

Emperor Yang Jing of the Great Chu smiled and said, "Uncle Wang is not bad as expected. Luo Geng is a man who is decisive and ruthless on the battlefield, but outside the battlefield, he is gentle and undecisive, looking forward and backward."

Prince Wu Yang Jiju said: "When I went north, I once advised Your Majesty that the only person who can be used by the court in the north and the six states is Luo Geng."

"Luo Geng is rebellious but has no courage, and seeks fame, so he just needs to give him a name and make him feel that His Majesty attaches importance to him, and he will drive forward for His Majesty."

Yang Jing said: "If he can really fight this battle, so what if I give him a King of Youzhou?"

Yang Jiju smiled and said, "Luo Gengruo really got the title of King Youzhou, he would fight all his life."

Yang Jing slowly let out a breath and said, "What I am most worried about is the northern border. In this battle, Uncle Wang planned to make plans and could make a final decision with one battle. I thought..."

He paused, glanced at Prince Wu, and then took a breath: "I always feel in my heart that only Uncle Wang can turn the tide, and I don't know what to say to let Uncle Wang know how grateful I am..."

Prince Wu quickly leaned over and said, "The old minister is afraid."

Yang Jing said: "When I left the capital, I told the court officials that I must go to the north to see. I just want to see with my own eyes how my uncle Wang cleansed his little sister with the King of Chu. I want to see with my own eyes how thousands of miles of northern borders returned to the jurisdiction of the court."

He pointed to Jizhou and said, "It's right ahead, it's not far away."

Prince Wu advised: "After this battle, Your Majesty should return to the capital as soon as possible. I can clean up your Majesty in the northern border."       "I know."

Yang Jing said: "I just want to see with my own eyes what the consequences of those traitors will end."

About a few months ago, after Prince Wu's army captured Qingzhou, Prince Wu Yang Jiju sent people to Youzhou to send a handwritten letter to Luo Geng. More importantly, there was also an imperial edict from His Majesty the Emperor of Chu.

After receiving the imperial edict and the handwritten letter from Prince Wu, Luo Geng struggled for a long time.

The emperor's meaning is very obvious. As long as he is willing to assist Prince Wu in destroying all the rebels in the northern border, the emperor will grant him the King of Youzhou and take charge of military affairs in the northern border.

Moreover, the title of the King of Youzhou was hereditary.

For Luo Geng, this is a great temptation, a temptation that can hardly be rejected...

Luo Geng has been guarding the northern border for Da Chu for so many years, but he is just a fourth-rank general. How strong is his depression and resentment?

When the old emperor was there, Liu Chongxin always said that Luo Geng would be rebellious, so he always suppressed Luo Geng.

It was not until shortly before the old emperor died that because the northern border was too chaotic, Luo Gengtit was appointed as the third-rank general.

But is Luo Geng really satisfied?

Looking at the past twenty years, the one who can compete with him for military merits is just a Liangzhou Dantai weapon.

The new emperor was willing to grant him the king of a different surname. This kind of glory has never been seen since the founding of the Great Chu Kingdom. Once he was named king, Luo Geng would be the first person after the founding of the Great Chu Kingdom.

Moreover, how could Luo Geng not be moved by the emperor's attitude? The old emperor looked down on him but had to use him. After twenty years of suppression, the new emperor would be crowned king shortly after he ascended the throne...

In this way, the attitudes of the two emperors are more obvious.

So Luo Geng hesitated for a while and finally decided to obey the imperial court's orders. For the sake of safety, he didn't even tell his son clearly.

What he was worried about was that Luo Jing was a young man and that if he drank too much, he might not be able to leak the matter. Zeng Ling was an old fox, and Luo Geng had to be careful.

What prompted Luo Geng to make up his mind was not only because of His Majesty the Emperor's attitude, but also because of Prince Wu Yang Jiju's successive victory.

Prince Wu took Yuzhou and then went to Qingzhou, and these two places returned to the court, which also allowed Luo Geng to see the hope of the revival of the Great Chu.

When choosing between being a traitor and being the King of Youzhou, he is indeed more willing to choose the latter.

So Luo Geng cooperated with Prince Wu and began to make arrangements in Jizhou.

In order not to make Qingzhou Cui Yanlai and Yuzhou Liu Li suspected, he even invited these two people to come to Youzhou to discuss affairs. Not only these two people, he even invited Yu Chaozong, the Yanshan Camp.

He had a long time to judge who would come, because no one would come. Cui Yan and Liu Li just sent a special envoy to negotiate with him.

This battle was a battle between Emperor Yang Jing and the emperor, and Luo Geng knew that Prince Wu would do his best, but he didn't expect that even Emperor Yang Jing would come.

Under the night sky.

Yang Jing stood on the high slope and looked into the distance.

"Uncle Wang...I have always been wondering why when the Great Chu established the country, it was sweeping the world and no one could defeat it?"

"I thought about it for a long time and finally realized that Emperor Taizu was unparalleled in the world of civil and military achievements, but there was another reason... Taizu knew that it was difficult to conquer the country, so he also knew the difficulty of defending the country. But later, my ancestors and ancestors all forgot that the country was hard-won. They were all waiting for that position as soon as they were born, and they were waiting..."

Yang Jing paused for a moment, looked at Prince Wu and said, "I am not guarding the country now. I am learning from Emperor Taizu and fighting this country again..."

He exhaled a heavy breath.

"The Yang family was able to surrender hundreds of years ago, but now it can still be that Taizu has managed to defeat the country with such hardships. After hundreds of years, it was divided and occupied by worms. I will fight back... The Great Chu has been for thousands of years, starting from Taizu and continuing by me."
