Chapter 464 Yu Zilong Returns

Chapter 463: Yu Zilong Returns

Pengcheng's decision really broke Jiang Zi's heart. Although Jiang Zi expressed his support for Pengcheng on the surface, he was more sad than heartbroken, because Pengcheng had already made a compromise. Once Yu Zilong agreed to Pengcheng's conditions , which means that the possibility of Jiang Zi wanting to avenge his family in a grand manner is gone. Although Chen Feng said that as long as he repelled the Zhao army, he would do his best to seek justice for himself, but Jiang Zi was very It is clear that this is just Chen Feng's words to comfort himself, and it is impossible to achieve after all.

Jiang Zi took his son Jiang Tai back to his big tent absent-mindedly. As soon as he walked in, Jiang Tai couldn't help it, and directly angrily said to Jiang Zi: "Father, the imperial court has bullied people too much. The reason why our Jiang family fell This is the end, isn’t it because my father is loyal to the court? But now? In order to win over Yu Zilong, the court just gave up our Jiang family. If I knew this was the case, I might as well have directly helped Yu Zilong to take over the throne!” Jiang Tai said. Roughness is not rough, if Jiang Zi was willing to support Yu Zilong, Xiang Kuang and Chen Feng would have no chance at all, Chu State would not fall into a divided situation again, and the Jiang family would not be ruined.

"Shut up!" Hearing Jiang Tai's words, Jiang Zi stopped him immediately, looked around, and said in a low voice: "You are crazy, can you say these words? Do you know how many people are in this camp?" The eyes and ears of Peng Cheng and Chen Feng? If we are not careful, our Jiang family will really die!"

Jiang Tai shuddered when Jiang Zi yelled at him like this, and he came back to his senses immediately, and he still had some lingering fears. Now the status of their father and son is very embarrassing. After Chen Feng officially took the position of general, he began to rectify the whole army. The power of the Jiang family has been weakened a lot, not to mention that now that Pengcheng has made concessions on the issue of Yu Zilong, in order to prevent the Jiang family and his son from doing irrational things, the monitoring of the Jiang family and his son is even more severe. The father and son are surrounded by other people's eyes and ears.

"Father, should we just leave it like this? This is a blood feud!" Jiang Tai was still very unwilling. Dozens of members of the entire Jiang family died under Yu Zilong's butcher's knife. Now let him shake hands with Yu Zilong. Yanhe, he can't do it at all.

Hearing Jiang Tai's words, Jiang Zi gritted his teeth fiercely, and said: "Now the situation has changed suddenly, it is no longer the time to pay attention to personal enmity, everything must be in the interests of Da Chu, but I will not forget this account Yes, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, and I will get it back from Yu Zilong sooner or later!"

Xiapicheng, the prefect's mansion, Yu Zilong had just met Pengcheng's envoy, and Yu Zilong knew the news of Zhao Jun's southward move. He was not surprised by Pengcheng's reaction at all, because with the current strength of Chu State, it is impossible to compete with him. For the 30 Zhao army to resist, they had to concentrate all their strength to block the Zhao army's offensive. When the Deng army came to help, Chu Guofang had a chance of survival, but Yu Zilong hesitated whether to agree to the conditions proposed by Xiang Kuang.

"Xun'er, Haier, tell me, should I agree?" In the main hall of the prefect's mansion, Yu Zilong frowned and asked Zhang Xun and Zhang Hai. This is a major matter related to the future, and even Yu Zilong is not easy to do it. The universe is arbitrary.

"Uncle, do we still have a choice? There are only two roads in front of us now, one is to agree to Pengcheng's conditions and resist the Zhao army together, and the other is to surrender directly to the Zhao army, but with our current strength, Li Rubing doesn't like it at all. In front of the 30 Zhao army, our 3 people are not worth mentioning. More importantly, our son Zhang Di, although his father turned against Qi, became a hero of the Great Chu. , but it has cut off the way for our Zhang family to go to other countries!" Zhang Xun said with a sigh, Zhang Di went out of Qi State, forced Linzi, rescued Xiang Kuang, and restored Chu State. For Chu people, Zhang Di undoubtedly He is a hero, but in the eyes of the people of the world, Chu people are capricious. Although they may stab a knife in the back, who would dare to accept such a person?

Hearing Zhang Xun's words, Yu Zilong and Zhang Hai were also very helpless. Of course they knew that Chu State had no chance of winning against the 30 Zhao army. Let's not talk about whether Deng Guo is willing to send troops to rescue Chu State. Whether Chu State can stop the 30 Zhao army until Deng Jun comes to help is still a problem. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Yu Zilong, who has basically turned against Pengcheng, is the best His best choice is to protect himself wisely, but the facts do not allow Yu Zilong to do so.

"Ah!" Yu Zilong sighed, and said, "Yes, we have no other choice. Forget it, brother has dedicated his life to Da Chu, so let's do our best, Xun'er, go tell Peng Cheng Messenger, we will not go to Pengcheng, but as long as I, Yu Zilong, are there, Zhao Jun will never go beyond Xiapicheng!" In the face of ideals and reality, Yu Zilong finally chose Chu, but he will not go to Pengcheng , and will not leave Xiapi city a step, this is his bottom line.

The envoy of Pengcheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Zhang Xun's message. As for what Yu Zilong said, he would not leave Xiapi City. You must never cross Xiapi City. As long as Xiapi City is defended, the pressure on Pengcheng will be much lighter.

Zhao Jun's offensive was very swift and violent. While Pengcheng and Xiapi reached a consensus, Zhao Jun went south again in a big way, advancing in three directions. Far away, the Leyun army in Peijun also broke through Fengxian and Peicheng, two important towns in Peijun. Liangcheng and Siwu won, and continued to attack Picheng to form pressure, and Chu State has also gathered all the soldiers and horses in Pengcheng County, ready to make a final fight, and with Yu Zilong's guarantee, Chu The country's soldiers and horses in Xiapi also began to withdraw slowly.

While the three battlefields were in full swing, Fan Ting, the new prime minister of Chu State, also came to Wancheng, the capital of Deng State. However, as soon as he entered Wancheng, he was told that Deng Sheng was ill and unable to act. There was no way to meet him in time, and Chen Qun, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was still in charge of entertaining Fan Ting.

"Chen Shangshu, I don't know if King Deng's body has ever recovered? Our country really can't wait any longer. I'm afraid Zhao Jun will invade Pengcheng later!" Wancheng, inside the official office of the Ministry of Rites, Fan Ting was impatient. He said to Chen Qun in a calm tone that this was Fan Ting's third visit to the official office of the Ministry of Rites since he came to Wancheng. Fan Ting dismissed it, but now Fan Ting couldn't wait any longer.

Chen Qun smiled, waved his hands, and said to Fan Ting: "President Fan, don't be impatient. We are also very aware of your country's situation, but sending troops is a matter of great importance, but it can't be sloppy. To tell you the truth, I The king's health has indeed recovered a bit, but he is still unable to manage the matter in person, but Fan Xiang is relieved. After learning the news of Zhao Jun's going south, my king has ordered the three provinces, six ministries and the general's governor's office to prepare for the dispatch of troops. Fan Xiang is relieved. Great Deng and Chu State are allies who share weal and woe, and we will never just sit and watch Chu State fall!"

"That's good! I also ask Chen Shangshu to pass on to King Deng. My great Chu has always looked forward to your country's leadership, and it will be the same in the future. I also hope that King Deng can look at the 20-year friendship between Chu and Deng and send troops to help!" When it comes to Chen Qun, although Fan Ting is a little worried, he can only let it go temporarily!

Is Deng Sheng really sick?The answer is of course not. The reason why he pretended to be sick was because Deng Sheng hadn’t thought about whether the Chu State was still necessary. At the beginning, he chose to support the Chu State and constantly created opportunities to strengthen the strength of the Chu State. The family dominates, Deng is not yet ready to go to war with Zhao, there needs to be a proper buffer between Deng and Zhao, so that Chu can continue to exist, but the situation is different now, Zhao Xin is dead, and the Central Plains In the battle between Deng and Qin, the state of Zhao was defeated, and the strength and weakness were reversed. Coupled with the change of Langmeng, a large number of capable ministers of the state of Zhao died suddenly, and the strength of the state of Zhao was greatly weakened. Deng Sheng went to single-handedly challenge Zhao Guo, but Deng Sheng did not hesitate, so there are indications that Chu State is no longer important to Deng State.
