After Wu Zhenchang attacked and killed Zhu Bojiu, he quickly took control of Liyang with his cronies of 3,000 men from the Zhenyi Camp, and hunted and killed all the officials in Liyang.

The soldiers and horses in Liyang City were accustomed to doing business and neglected to practice. They were no match for the Zhenyi Battalion that had just won the battle. They ran to death and most of them abandoned their armor and threw their swords and knelt down to surrender.

Seeing that the situation was over, Han Ruling snatched Zhong Zhiming out and went straight to the dock to board the ship and escape.

When Zhong Zhiming saw the light of day again, he ordered a glass of wine on the boat and poured it into the river: "I, Zhong Zhiming, survived the catastrophe. I must avenge my previous shame by escaping this time!"

Han Ruling was afraid of attracting pursuers and quickly pulled Zhong Zhiming into the cabin: "General Zhong, now that Wu Zhenchang is rebelling, should we return to Xinli or go to Lingnan along the river?"

Zhong Zhiming didn't want to go to Xinli and be detained again, so he made up his mind to go to Lingnan.

Unexpectedly, someone crawled in from outside and said, "Oh no, we are surrounded!"

I could only hear loud shouts from outside: "Stop the boat and dock! Everyone come out, otherwise our Yunzi camp will release arrows!"

"Stop it!"

Hearing that it was Yunzi Camp, Han Ruling breathed a sigh of relief: "General Zhong, go back to Xinli first! It's better than staying in Liyang!"

Zhong Zhiming had no choice but to follow Han Ruling out of the cabin. Several warships surrounded them and at the same time fired many rockets towards Liyang Pier.

Liyang Wharf suddenly caught fire. When Wu Zhenchang's people rushed to the wharf, there were no ships available.

Zhong Zhiming and Han Ruling were asked to disembark and were taken to see the guard Ling Yun.

Xinli Guard General Ling Yun is a female general who was originally the leader of thieves in the Juye area. Later, she was chased by Zhong Zhiming and had no choice but to join Zhu Yaoshi.

Zhong Zhiming didn't know that the guard was Ling Yun, so he followed the soldiers to see Ling Yun. The two looked at each other, Zhong Zhiming secretly screamed in pain, Ling Yun sneered twice: "General Zhong is really dedicated to his duty, and he still chases me today.

!”

Han Ruling wanted to explain, but Ling Yun glared at him: "You are sent here by Wu Zhenchang to make money for me in Xinli City through a cruel trick, right? It's better to pull him down and cut him down to save trouble!"

Zhong Zhiming closed his eyes and remained silent. Han Ruling shook his head: "General Ling is so confused. Wu Zhenchang wanted to seize General Zhong's command, which is why he made such a mess! There is a saying that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. If General Zhong meets Wu Zhenchang, he will

Is there still a way to survive?"

"It's hard to say. Is there anything in this world that cannot be traded? This Wu Zhenchang was a model of loyalty that the emperor personally commended, but now he has turned against him in just a few days! I think the scholars in this world are really unreliable! This clock

The general was also a loyal minister of the previous dynasty, so why should he be the marshal of this dynasty now? Haha, that’s interesting!”

"I have never surrendered. If your emperor wants to appoint me, that is his business. I was originally returning to Lingnan, but you took me off the ship. Now I am just meat on your chopping board. You can cut it how you want.

No matter what! Just don’t compare me with Wu Zhenchang!”

Ling Yun slapped the table and was about to get angry. The soldier next to him hurriedly came over and said a few words. Ling Yun slowly put his hand down again: "Take them down and take care of them first. Just don't freeze and starve them!"

Zhong Zhiming looked at Han Ruling helplessly: "I have implicated you today, but I am used to being imprisoned. It's just another year of imprisonment!"

Han Ruling was relieved: "General Zhong, it's better to be here than to be killed in Liyang! I intended to save the general, but I saved myself instead. I have to thank the general!"

Ling Yun saw that the two of them were so polite and didn't take himself seriously, so he coughed: "You two have your lives in my hands, don't be too presumptuous!"

Zhong Zhiming and Han Ruling smiled at each other and followed a few soldiers out, leaving only Ling Yun and Junjun in the hall.

Joining the army complained that Ling Yun should not treat these two people like this: "This Zhong Zhiming is the marshal appointed by the emperor, and Han Ruling is also the captain of Li Yang."

, Why should the general offend them? Besides, Wu Zhenchang has rebelled, and the emperor will definitely send troops to conquer him. Then Zhong Zhiming may still be the marshal. If the general becomes his subordinate, how will he deal with himself then? "

"This Zhong Zhiming, the emperor doesn't know how to use it. He was a captured general of the former dynasty, and now he forced an army of more than 200,000 people to rebel because he made him a marshal. And Han Ruling was just a general, and now he has lost Li Yang and

Even if the army runs away on its own, it will never be reused!" Ling Yun felt that these two people were no longer useful, so he despised them.

"Has General Ling ever thought about his status in the eyes of the emperor? In fact, there is no one available in the court today, and the emperor is suspicious and jealous. Wu Zhenchang refused to release Zhong Zhiming and took the risk to rebel. Is it because the general locked up Zhong Zhiming because he wanted the emperor to think

Are you and Wu Zhenchang in the same party?" The reminder to join the army came just in time, and Ling Yun immediately realized that he had made a mistake.

"Hurry up and invite the two of them into the post house and serve them with the best meals. Don't neglect them!" Ling Yun quickly called his personal maid in and gave instructions.

At this time, Li Xiaofei and Zheng Yuanhe also arrived at Xinli City. Li Xiaofei carefully looked around the inside and outside of Xinli City. The wicker sticks inserted outside the south gate were now as thick as an arm.

"This tree grows so fast. I never imagined that the world would be even more chaotic now!" Li Xiaofei sighed at the rows of willow trees.

"Master Li is so excited and in the mood to look at the trees. We still have a heavy burden!" Zheng Yuanhe had a sad face all the way. He originally wanted to gain a good reputation by recommending Li Xiaofei, but he didn't expect Zhu Yaoshi to give him a

It is the practice of whoever comes up with the idea to do the work.

Originally, he was working as an idle official in Jinling City, but now he has to go to the front line closest to the enemy. Even Li Xiaofei would not be willing to go to Liyang if he didn't think that he could find an opportunity to sneak back after coming out.

Ling Yun had heard of Li Xiaofei a long time ago, but as a bandit, she regarded loyalty and righteousness as extremely important. When Li Xiaofei went to Jinling as an envoy to Jinling, he reached out to Zhu Yaoshi to ask for an official position. When Ling Yun found out, he said that Li Xiaofei was extremely shameless.

In Ling Yun's opinion, this Li Xiaofei has no moral integrity and has no humiliation towards his mission. He must be a servile person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Although he received a secret report from Jinling this time, Ling Yun still wanted to play a trick on Li Xiaofei.

When Li Xiaofei entered the city, Ling Yun, dressed in military uniform and leading the captains of each team, greeted him at the south gate of Xinli.

Li Xiaofei dismounted and said hello. Ling Yun and others, wearing their armors, did not salute, but just guided Li Xiaofei.

Along the way, Ling Yun deliberately asked Li Xiaofei: "Master Li, I heard that there were several eunuchs around Emperor Ming who preferred death to surrender and jumped from the city wall to their deaths. Is this possible?"

"It is true that Emperor Ming treated people generously, so loyal people naturally died for him."

"Then why did Mr. Li become an official of this dynasty? Could it be that he is a disloyal and unjust person?"

Ling Yun has big eyes, a big nose, and a round face. If he hadn't spoken in a soft voice, he would have thought he was a man.

Li Xiaofei knew that Ling Yun was ridiculing him, so he laughed: "I have received great favor from Emperor Ming, so I can't just die. I have to keep this untouchable person so that I can repay Emperor Ming in the future!"

"As an official of this dynasty, how can I repay the previous emperor? Is Mr. Li going to betray this dynasty again?" Ling Yun looked at Li Xiaofei with a double ax in hand.

"To repay Emperor Ming is not to raise an army to rebel, but to realize Emperor Ming's ideals during his lifetime, and to give peace to the people of the world. Everyone has farmland, clothing, food, food, clothing, food, food and clothing! Does the general think that the only way to be loyal to the country is to kill?" Li Xiaofei said.

became serious

Zheng Yuanhe was afraid that the two of them would be at odds and cause trouble, so he acted as a peacemaker: "Master Li, General Ling, we all serve the emperor, why bother to tit for tat? What has happened in the past has passed. You two are still the same.

Think about how to deal with the current situation!"

Ling Yun sneered: "With a celebrity like Mr. Li who has been able to get everything done and served as an official for several times, what are you afraid of?"

Li Xiaofei thought that a good man would not fight with a woman, so he continued to smile and said: "It doesn't matter, there is Ling General."

The army will defend Xinli City, and we will come back to discuss with Marshal Zhong."

"Master Li and Marshal Zhong are such a perfect match, haha, they are so in love with Qin Muchu!" Ling Yun continued to mock Li Xiaofei.

"It seems that General Ling has some deep prejudices against us. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to live peacefully in Xinli City, Mr. Zheng." Li Xiaofei looked at Zheng Yuanhe

Zheng Yuanhe was sweating on his head: "It's all a misunderstanding. Wu Zhenchang has already rebelled. We must not cause any more trouble. We all have to work together as one."

Ling Yun felt that he had not been able to irritate Li Xiaofei after saying so much, and was a little disappointed, so he slammed the two axes, scaring Zheng Yuanhe and almost fell down.

"General Ling has something to say, speak it well, speak it well!"

"Haha, little girl, I just want these two axes to work together, but the adults are so scared." As he spoke, Ling Yun secretly looked at Li Xiaofei's reaction.

Li Xiaofei, however, looked calm: "General Ling is a woman, but she uses two axes. I really admire you!"

"Who says women can't use axes as weapons? If I had met you earlier, I'm afraid I would have given you up."

Joining the Army pulled Ling Yun, but Ling Yun swallowed his words.

"When I met you earlier, you would definitely accept me as your disciple, right? Hahahahahahaha, it seems that Li came too late!"

Li Xiaofei was good at smoothing things over, and everyone laughed along with him.

Several people arrived at Ling Yun's government office and invited Zhong Zhiming out. Li Xiaofei hugged Zhong Zhiming as soon as he saw it: "Brother Zhong, long time no see, you have suffered!"

"Xiao Fei, why are you here, right?"

Zhong Zhiming thought that Li Xiaofei was also captured and released, so he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"It's a long story, Brother Zhong, today you are the marshal of Daliang again! Congratulations!"

Li Xiaofei pulled several people to kneel down together, and Zheng Yuanhe announced the decree. Although Zhong Zhiming had long heard that he was appointed by Pharmacist Zhu, he didn't really get the official decree until now.

"Marshal Zhong, why don't you thank me?" Zheng Yuanhe looked at Zhong Zhiming

Zhong Zhiming sighed: "I haven't surrendered yet, so I will become an official in the new dynasty. This..."

"Brother Zhong, no one is forcing you to surrender. The reason why you are made Marshal is to rely on you to regain Hebei from the Mobei people!" Li Xiaofei persuaded.

"Be as free and easy as Mr. Li, and don't think nonsense. Mr. Li has become a deputy marshal, why can't you be a marshal?" Ling Yun came to challenge Zhong Zhiming again.

"General Ling, it was Zhong who offended you in the first place, so please stop mocking Xiao Fei too."

"No, Brother Zhong, what he said makes sense. The Liang Kingdom that used to be controlled by the aristocratic family is no longer there, and even the aristocratic family itself has been smashed to pieces. Who are you still keeping integrity for?"

Han Ruling also advised: "Thank you, as long as we drive away the Mobei people and regain Hebei, we will have made a great contribution and avenged our shame!"

Zhong Zhiming lowered his head and closed his eyes: "Thank you, Lord!"

Here Wu Zhenchang captured Liyang and threatened to clear the emperor. In the west, Liu Jian just finished paying homage to Zhuge Wuhou, thinking that he would be protected. Unexpectedly, a messenger came from Badong reporting: "Luo Xian, the governor of Yizhou, has died, and there is great chaos in Shu!"

On the Bashu side, Luo Xian was originally appointed as the governor of Yizhou. Luo Xian broke off the navy and fled back to Chengdu. He drank heavily and beat his slaves, wives and concubines day and night.

The slaves couldn't bear it anymore, so they conspired to murder Luo Xian. When Luo Xian died, chaos broke out in the middle of Shu, and the governors of every county claimed themselves to be the governor of Yizhou.

Only Tan Banshan, the governor of Bajun, and Gan Zijing, the governor of Badong, performed their duties loyally and quickly sent their trusted aides to Xiangyang to report to the court.
