Chapter 463: Yu Zilong returns

Pengcheng's decision really hurt Jiang Zi's heart. Although Jiang Zi expressed his support for Peng Cheng on the surface, he felt more sad than death because Peng Cheng had already made a compromise. Once Yu Zilong agreed to Peng Cheng's conditions, it means that Jiang Zi's possibility of avenging his family was no longer there. Although Chen Feng said that as long as he defeated the Zhao army, he would do his best to seek justice for himself, Jiang Zi knew very well that this was just Chen Feng's words to comfort him, and it was impossible to achieve it.

Jiang Zi brought his son Jiang Tai back to his tent absent-mindedly. As soon as he walked in, Jiang Tai couldn't help it and said angrily to Jiang Zi: "Father, the court is too bullying. Isn't our Jiang family loyal to the court? But now? In order to win over Yu Zilong, the court gave up our Jiang family. If I had known this was the case, it would be better to directly support Yu Zilong to the throne!" Jiang Tai's words were rough and not rough. If Jiang Zi was willing to support Yu Zilong, Xiang Kuang and Chen Feng would not have any chance at all, and the Chu State would not have fallen into a split again, and the Jiang family would not have been destroyed.

"Shut up!" Hearing Jiang Tai's words, Jiang Zi stopped him, looked around, and whispered: "You are crazy. Can these words be said? Do you know how many Pengcheng and Chen Feng's eyes and ears are in this camp? If you are not careful, our Jiang family will really be broken!"

When Jiang Zi shouted like this, Jiang Tai shivered and suddenly came to his senses. He was still worried. Now the status of their father and son is very embarrassing. After Chen Feng officially took office as the general, he began to rectify the entire army. The power of the Jiang family has been weakened a lot. What's more, Peng Cheng has made concessions on the issue of Yu Zilong. In order to prevent the Jiang family from doing irrational things, the surveillance of the Jiang family father and son has become even more powerful. Maybe the Jiang family is surrounded by others.

"Father, are we going to let it go? This is a bloody hatred!" Jiang Tai was still very unwilling. Dozens of people from the entire Jiang family died under Yu Zilong's butcher's knife. Now he could not shake hands with Yu Zilong and make peace.

Hearing Jiang Tai's words, Jiang Zi gritted his teeth and said, "The situation has changed dramatically. It is no longer time to pay attention to personal grudges. Everything must be based on the interests of the Great Chu first. However, I will not forget this account. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. I will sooner or later ask Yu Zilong for this deep bloody hatred!"

Xia Pi City, the prefect, Yu Zilong had just met the envoy of Pengcheng. Yu Zilong had known the news that Zhao's army went south. He did not find it strange at all about Pengcheng's reaction, because with the current strength of Chu, it was impossible to compete with the 300,000 Zhao army. He could only concentrate all his strength to block the Zhao army's offensive. When Deng's army came to aid, Chu had a glimmer of hope, but Yu Zilong was hesitant about whether to agree to the conditions proposed by Xiang Kuang.

"Xun'er, Hai'er, do you think I should agree?" Yu Zilong frowned in the main hall of the prefect's mansion and asked Zhang Xun and Zhang Hai. This was a major event related to the future, and even Yu Zilong could not make the world arbitrary decision.

"Uncle, do we still have to choose? Now there are only two ways before us. One is to agree to the conditions of Pengcheng to resist the Zhao army together, and the other is to surrender directly to the Zhao army. However, with our current strength, Li Rubing looked down on it at all. In front of the 300,000 Zhao army, only 30,000 people are not worth mentioning at all. More importantly, our son Zhang Di, whose father rebelled against Qi, became a hero of the Great Chu, but cut off our Zhang family's way to join another country!" Zhang Xun sighed and said, Zhang Di rebelled from Qi, forced Linzi, rescued Xiang Kuang, and re-established Chu. For the Chu people, Zhang Di was undoubtedly a hero, but in the eyes of the world, the Chu people were capricious, and although they could stab them in the back, who would dare to accept such a person?

When they heard Zhang Xun's words, Yu Zilong and Zhang Hai were helpless. Of course, they knew that in the face of the 300,000 Zhao army, Chu had no chance of winning at all. The only glimmer of vitality was placed on Deng State, but this was just a glimmer of vitality. Not to mention whether Deng State was willing to send troops to rescue Chu State, it was still a question whether Chu State could block the 300,000 Zhao Army and it was still a question to support Deng Army. Anyone with discerning eyes knew that Yu Zilong, who had basically turned against Pengcheng, had the best choice to protect himself, but the facts did not allow Yu Zilong to do this.

"Oh!" Yu Zilong sighed and said, "Yes, we have no choice, okay, my brother devoted his life to the Great Chu, and let us do our last part, Xun'er, go and tell the envoy of Pengcheng, we won't go to Pengcheng, but as long as I, Yu Zilong, are there, the Zhao army will never be able to cross Xia Pi City!" In the face of ideals and reality, Yu Zilong finally chose Chu State, but he would not go to Pengcheng, nor would he leave Xia Pi City. This is his bottom line.

The envoy of Pengcheng was relieved when he heard Zhang Xun's message. As for what Yu Zilong said, he would not leave Xia Pi City, the envoy didn't care at all. Didn't Yu Zilong say that as long as he was still in Xia Pi, the Zhao army would never cross Xia Pi City. As long as Xia Pi City was defended, the pressure on Pengcheng would be much lighter.

The Zhao army's offensive was very fast. While reaching a consensus between Pengcheng and Xia Pi, the Zhao army once again marched south and advanced three routes. After Li Rubing in Pengcheng captured Qi County and Guangqi, he once again captured Liu County. It was not far from Pengcheng. The Leyun army of Pei County also captured Feng County. Peicheng was the two important towns of Pei County. The Chu army was forced to retreat to Zhuqiu. When Dong Zhong, Xia Pi, annihilated Jiang Zi and Chen Feng's army failed, turned around and led Liangcheng and Siwu to take it down, and continued to attack Xia Pi City. The Chu State had also concentrated all the troops and horses in Pengcheng County, preparing to make a final try. With Yu Zilong's guarantee, the troops and horses of Chu State in Xia Pi began to slowly withdraw.

Just as three battlefields were in full swing, the new Prime Minister of Chu, Fan Ting, also came to Wancheng, the capital of Deng State. However, as soon as he entered Wancheng, he was told that Deng Sheng was sick and could not be in charge of the director, and he might not be able to meet him for a while. The person in charge of entertaining Fan Ting was still the Minister of Rites Chen Qun.

"Shangshu Chen, don't know if King Deng's body has recovered? Our country really can't stand it. If it's too late, the Zhao army will attack Pengcheng!" Wancheng, within the Ministry of Rites, Fan Ting said to Chen Qun in an impatient tone. This is the third time that Fan Ting visited the Ministry of Rites after coming to Wancheng. However, every time Chen Qun came to Chen Qun, he sent Fan Ting on the grounds that Deng Sheng's body had not recovered and could not meet Fan Ting for the time being, but Fan Ting could no longer wait.

Chen Qun smiled, waved his hand, and said to Fan Ting: "Fan Xiang is at ease. We are also very clear about your country's situation. However, the issue of sending troops is of great importance, but it is unscrupulous. To be honest, my king's body has indeed recovered a little, but he cannot handle the affairs of the officials himself. But Fan Xiang rests with peace of mind. After learning about the Zhao army's southward journey, my king has ordered the three provinces and six ministries and the General Governor's Office to raise troops. Fan Xiang rests with peace of mind. Da Deng and Chu are allies who share weal and woe. We will never watch the fall of Chu!"

"That's good! I'll ask Mr. Chen to pass on the post of King Deng. My great Chu has always followed your country's leader, and it will be the same in the future. I also hope that King Deng can send troops to help him according to the friendship between Chu and Deng for 20 years!" Although Fan Ting was a little worried when he heard Chen Qun's words, he could only give up for the time being!
