Deng Jingshan walked heavily towards Zhang Zhongwu's central army tent.

All the guards, the nearest ones, were about ten steps away from the Central Army's tent, and their faces were heavy. Seeing Deng Jingshan coming, the Central Army's escort Fan Sheng quickly came up to meet him.

"General, since I received the news last night, everyone was driven out by the prince and was not allowed to step into the big tent." Fan Sheng said: "I'm so anxious, but you know the prince's temper. Although everyone is anxious, they dare not disobey the prince's orders!"

Deng Jingshan nodded, "I'll go and take a look."

Walking to the tent door, lifting the curtain, Deng Jingshan walked straight in.

In the huge military tent, there was no chaos Deng Jingshan imagined, and it was still as neat as usual. Zhang Zhongwu sat cross-legged in the middle of the tent, polishing his armor.

Around him, more than a dozen swords and guns of various kinds were polished to a shiny state.

Deng Jingshan walked straight over without saying a word, sat beside Zhang Zhongwu, picked up a piece of cloth from the ground, and rubbed the armor leaves on the other side hard.

The two of them did not speak, polishing the armor leaves on one side. Until the last armor leaves were polished to a very bright light, Zhang Zhongwu then threw away the skin in his hand and looked at Deng Jingshan and said, "Chengyou must be gone."

Deng Jingshan sighed: "That child, I watched him grow up. Prince, among your children, Chengyou is the most talented, it's a pity."

"It doesn't seem to matter whether we can become a weapon or not now. Jingshan, it seems that it's time for us to end our lives!" Zhang Zhongwu laughed loudly.

Deng Jingshan didn't say anything, but took out a pot of wine and a large bag of fried beans from a package he brought with him. Looking at these two things, Zhang Zhongwu was surprised for a while before laughing: "It's rare that you still remember the fried beans to put them in wine."

Deng Jingshan picked up a bean and threw it into his mouth, chewing it so loud that it sounded.

"When we were at the worst, we survived ten days with a pot of wine and a pack of fried beans." Deng Jingshan smiled and said, "When we were at the end of our lives, we were really at the end of our lives. Now compared with those days, we at least have more cards to play in our hands."

"At that time, I was barefoot and didn't worry about wearing shoes." Zhang Zhongwu said: "Later, my family business became bigger and bigger, and this momentum was getting further and further away from me."

"Now we have to find it back!" Deng Jingshan said with a sigh: "I am the same. I always have to reach such a critical moment of life and death to figure out something."

Chewing beans and drinking wine, Zhang Zhongwu said: "I finally figured out why the old boy Gongsun Changming didn't look down on me. Finally, he ran to Chengde to join Li Ze, a little brat who was unknown at the time. That old man's eyes were still so poisonous. He didn't miss it when he looked at people. I think he knew that I couldn't accomplish anything long ago, right? Even if he didn't lose to Li Ze, he would still lose to Zhang Ze and Wang Ze. Otherwise, everyone would rebel, why would he not assist me and be willing to assist Li Ze?"

Deng Jingshan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "That boy Li Ze, who is hypocritical on the surface, is full of thieves and prostitutes. He actually forcibly turned himself into a descendant of the King of Qin. Haha, haha, he is really shameless."

"But I can only say I admire you, and I admire you so much." Zhang Zhongwu said: "If I had this scheming, I would not have ended up today."

"I admire him. I am just a little embarrassed by his actions. If he rebels, he will rebel, and if he usurps the throne, he will be a little dirty."

"We are not much better than each other, just a hundred steps to laugh." Zhang Zhongwu shook his head and said, "Successful people are not criticized. His future history books can naturally be portrayed as a glorious and glorious figure. But then again, this guy is indeed worthy of it."

"Prince, do you think Xiang Xun's plan can be successful?" Deng Jingshan asked in a deep voice.

Zhang Zhongwu shook his head: "Following Li Ze's foresight, I don't think Xiang Xun's plan has the possibility of success. In fact, the assassination in Gaomi was the closest they had to be successful. Unfortunately, it failed. As for assassination in Li Ze's heart like Zhenzhou, it was simply to touch the tiger's butt. I didn't even think about it at all. I even doubt whether all this was under Li Ze's control."

"Why?"

"I didn't understand this problem before, but Li Ze suddenly had such a problem in his background. I thought it through a little bit. Think about it, even if Li Ze made himself a descendant of the King of Qin, had the identity of the Li Tang royal family, and was one of the most pure bloodline, there was still a big problem. The little emperor now has not made any mistakes!" Zhang Zhongwu said with a smile.

"He has no chance to make a mistake at all!" Deng Jingshan also smiled.

"Yes, the little emperor basically has no chance to make mistakes. This little emperor, the only son of the old emperor, was Li Ze who personally helped the throne and gave up without any mistakes. Is Li Ze, a person who loves feathers, willing to bear such a bad reputation?" Zhang Zhongwu smiled and said, "He is a guy who wants to be a bitch and has to set up a archway, so of course he is unwilling to do such a thing."

Deng Jingshan said horrifiedly: "So, he tolerated Xiang's family in Zhenzhou and Wuyi to do things, just to give the little emperor a chance to make mistakes, right?"

"It should be like this!" Zhang Zhongwu said: "Think about how prestige Li Ze was in the north? If he had been assassinated again in Zhenzhou and Wuyi, and all the evidence afterwards pointed to the little emperor and his unmarried wife Xiang Lan, the people, bureaucrats, and the army would have reacted?"

Deng Jingshan suddenly realized.

"The emperor killed the ministers without any mistakes, but it was not clear that the punishment was made by a shameful assassination method. Such a thing is indeed a big scandal!"

"That's it. The little emperor really did such a thing. Isn't it appropriate to be the right person to depose the emperor and become independent?" Zhang Zhongwu threw a bean into his mouth: "Otherwise, I really can't imagine how Xiang Lan and the others planned such a big thing in Zhenzhou? Is Gongsun Changming blind or Tian Bo blind? If they were really blind, could we fall to this point today?"

"It must be so. With Li Ze's insidiousness, I'm afraid that everything has been arranged long ago and wait for the other party to take the bait to clear the last obstacle for his path to usurpation of the throne." Deng Jingshan nodded repeatedly.

"Forget it, we won't be fucking these indifferent thoughts here." Zhang Zhongwu raised his neck and took a big sip of wine: "Tell me, what do you think we should do now?"

"It's just two roads, one is retreat." Deng Jingshan said. "The other is to seek life in death, bet everything, do a vote, win, and have a new scene. If you lose, you will naturally lose completely."

"Which one do you choose?" Zhang Zhongwu asked with a smile.

"Is this still necessary? Of course, choose the second one, take all the money, and do one vote." Deng Jingshan said: "If you choose to withdraw your troops, you might just live a few more months. The heavy snow is coming soon. We have no abundant food and not enough cotton coats and bedding to protect the cold. If we retreat along the way, we will inevitably throw countless bodies away, and then we will face the dilemma of interception in front and pursuers behind. I am afraid that by then, we will die very much. Even if we die, I, Deng Jingshan, want to die vigorously, and it will not be in vain for my whole life."

"There is a third way, why don't you mention it?" Zhang Zhongwu asked with a smile.

"The third road?" Deng Jingshan was stunned.

"Surrender!" Zhang Zhongwu smiled and said, "Surrender to Li Ze, then put down everything, go to Li Ze for three or nine times, shout long live the mountain, maybe you can still live a peaceful life, or something else in your old age!"

Deng Jingshan looked at Zhang Zhongwu for a moment and laughed to the sky. Zhang Zhongwu also laughed loudly. The two of them laughed so hard that tears flowed out, and they were a little breathless.

Surrender is an option that both of them have never considered.

Even if they die, they want to die more heroically!

After wiped away the tears, the two of them took a big gulp in a wine pot. Zhang Zhongwu continued: "The decisive battle with the enemy is our only chance, but Jingshan, this chance is very slim. I always thought that Han Qi and Xue Chong exchanged space for time. Now it seems that this is not the case at all. They did not expect Li Ze to rescue them, but had already made arrangements. Zunhua was probably the place they chose to fight us. So, I guess the opposite side of us was definitely not just the troops in Xue Chong's hands. There must be one or even more troops we don't know."

Deng Jingshan nodded and said, "It should be so, it's just hard to guess, but I think there must be a cavalry unit to which Zhang Jia belongs, and it detours the desert to our flanks."

"No matter how many people he has come, we only have one way, that is, to move forward bravely, if you win, you will live, if you lose, you will die!" Zhang Zhongwu said with gratitude.

"As in the past, I am the striker, and the prince will follow." Deng Jingshan reached out and held Zhang Zhongwu with heavy grip.

"Okay!" Zhang Zhongwu stood up, drank the wine in the pot, strode out of the tent, and said sternly to Fan Sheng: "Play the drum and gather the generals, all the generals above the fangs will gather in the tent of the central army."

The sound of drums sounded, and then the sound of horse hooves sounded from all directions. Generals from various Liao army rushed to the central army camp from their respective camps.

At the top of Zunhua City, Han Qi and Xue Chong were filled with comfort. Beside them, the tall Li Han stood silently.

"Zhang Zhongwu is going to fight to the death!"
