In a wilderness outside Pingzhou City, Li Congshan sat alone there, in front of him, a table with a pot of wine and several dishes on it.

Not far away, the neighing sound of horses suddenly sounded. Li Congshan looked up and saw a fast horse galloping over a hundred meters away. He stopped, got off the horse alone and walked towards this side.

The person who came was Zhang Cheng.

When Zhang Cheng got closer, he said nothing and sat down opposite Li Congshan.

Li Congshan picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Zhang Cheng: "I thought you wouldn't come."

Zhang Cheng's voice was a little hoarse: "I have no trust in my brothers, but I have never doubted you."

Zhang Cheng is telling the truth. If he didn't trust Li Congshan, he wouldn't have come tonight, let alone come.

Li Congshan and Zhang Cheng worshipped a master. They started from the age of six and studied until they were twenty-two. Their relationship between classmates for so many years is very deep and sincere.

So after defeating Tian Zhang, the overall situation in Zhaozhou was decided. According to the principle, Li Congshan should have returned to Weizhou. One was to report the situation and the other was to ask for merit and rewards. However, Li Congshan did not go back, but personally led the army to Pingzhou, and just sent Yang Dan back to report the specific situation.

Li Congshan did this just for Zhang Cheng and to save his life. If he didn't come and the war ended, the first one he wanted to kill was the brothers Zhang Cheng and Zhang Chong.

Zhang Cheng said: "Li Congshan, are you looking for me to persuade me to surrender?"

Li Congshan shook his head: "Is there still necessary?"

Hearing this sentence, Zhang Cheng's face suddenly showed anger. He stood up and pointed at Li Congshan and said loudly: "I still have ten thousand soldiers in my hand. If you break the city, you will definitely pay a huge price."

Li Congshan looked at Zhang Cheng quietly without saying a word.

Faced with Li Congshan's silence, Zhang Cheng's anger and his chest slowly calmed down: "Why are you looking at me like this? Is it wrong?"

Li Congshan said softly: "Zhang Cheng, the emperor will soon issue an edict to appoint Zhang He as the new governor of Zhaozhou. Chen Qingzhu and Gao Shancai will withdraw their troops soon. In this case, what reason do you have to work hard for you and defend the city for you?"

Zhang Cheng shook his head and said, "It's impossible to be so fast."

Less than a day after the war ended, the news did not reach Fengjing so quickly. What Li Congshan said was obviously self-righteous.

Li Congshan sighed: "This is the only ending, Zhang Cheng, give up."

Zhang Cheng was silent. Yes, the overall situation has been decided, what other changes will be made? The court has very little say in Hebei. They can only accept the established facts and cannot change anything.

Zhang Cheng sat down, lowered his head, and looked decadent. At this moment, all his ambitions and ambitions had dissipated.

Li Congshan said: "Hebei no longer has your place to stay, you must leave immediately."

Zhang Cheng raised his head and smiled bitterly: "Where can I go after leaving Hebei?"

"Go to find Wu Fan. He has great ambitions and has a very deep foundation in Jiangnan. If you go to his place, you will definitely make a breakthrough in the future."

Li Congshan said in a deep voice: "Remember the teacher's teachings to us? Failure is not terrible, but you must never be depressed and degenerate. As long as you are still alive, there is still a chance. Zhang Cheng, you will stay in the green mountains without worrying about burning firewood. If you don't leave, you will die. If you leave Hebei, you may have nothing, but at least you are still alive. At worst, you can start over again. I believe that with your talents, one day, you can break out of your own world."

Zhang Cheng pursed his lips: "I'm leaving, what should I do if Zhang Chong? What should I do if ten thousand soldiers?"

Li Congshan said: "For us, soldiers are precious wealth, and besides that, the rest is disaster."

Zhang Cheng was silent and understood that after taking Pingzhou, ordinary soldiers would be properly arranged. As for those middle and senior generals, as well as major figures such as Zhang Chong and Zhang Cheng, they would be cleaned and demolished, and no one would be left behind.

After understanding all this, Zhang Cheng pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "I will go back to Pingzhou now."

Li Congshan said, "It's too late, let's leave now."

Zhang Cheng frowned and said, "I'm leaving, what should my family do?"

Li Congshan said in a deep voice: "Zhang He's army will force the city of **zhou again if you go back now, don't think about leaving."

Zhang Cheng looked up at the sky. It was still half an hour before noon. At this time, he returned to Pingzhou. It was indeed too late.

Li Congshan said: "It is you who is threatening, not your family. You leave now. I have arranged the next thing. As for your family, with me here, there will be no problem."

Zhang Cheng was silent for a moment and nodded at the end.

The two raised their glasses, drank a glass of wine together, and then stood up at the same time.

Li Congshan bowed and said, "Take care all the way."

Zhang Cheng nodded and said nothing.

Lee Congshan shouted to the side: "Come."

More than twenty soldiers ran over and half knelt on the ground: "Please give orders to the three generals."

Li Congshan pointed at Zhang Cheng and said with a serious expression: "This is my brother. From now on, you are his people. He lives, you live, he dies, you die."

Hearing this, the soldiers immediately kowtowed to Zhang Cheng a few times and shouted in unison: "See lord."

Zhang Cheng said solemnly: "You all get up. If there is a day when we can stand out, we will be rich and prosperous together."

Li Congshan said to Zhang Cheng: "Let's go."

Zhang Cheng nodded silently, then turned over to the horse. Before leaving, he said to Li Congshan with a profound meaning: "Congshan, maybe one day, you will go to Jiangnan to find me."

Li Congshan smiled and said, "If there really is one day, you will take me in."

Zhang Chengzhong pointed: "If you come, I will follow you even if I die."

After saying this last sentence, Zhang Cheng bowed to Li Congshan and then took a horse away.

Li Congshan walked out of this place, and hundreds of people were waiting outside.

Huo Chuo came over with his horse and asked in a low voice: "Have you sent it away?"

Li Congshan nodded.

Huo Chuo smiled bitterly and said, "The third general, I'm sent away, but you may not be able to explain it to the Grand Marshal."

Li Congshan said indifferently: "He is my brother, shouldn't he do this?"

Huo Chuo was slightly stunned, then said with admiration on his face: "The third general is righteous and unrestrained, and the last general is impressed."

Li Congshan turned over and pointed at Huo and asked, "What are the actions on Cheng Feishi?"

Huo Chuo also got on the horse at this time and replied: "Cheng Feishi asked you to find him. If you go, he will surrender."
