This battle is completely different from the battle in Hengyang Town, and is also different from the harassment war in the old county.

After the two battles in Hengyang Town, almost all the town died. Liu Fang did not need to face a pair of resentful eyes. The same was true for the old county. He led the Hengyang Security Headquarters. Although he was not trained enough, he had been training for three months. It was natural for him to join the army to eat food and go to fight to kill the enemy.

But this time, Liu Fang was so excited that he set out from Fengyang City. Along the way, the march took less than half a month, and the people who came with him, regardless of the old or weak, women or children, were all accepted.

It would be okay to say that people would live in the end, but they all died, leaving behind the over 10,000 old, weak, women and children behind them, probably those people would tear Liu Fang apart and eat him alive.

All of this directly destroyed Liu Fang's original nerves.

But this cry really aroused Wu Zheng's compassion.

In fact, Liu Fang's straight words hit Wu Zheng's most secret and softest part in his heart.

He is also an ordinary person. He has just traveled to this era and is full of passion. He wants to turn the tide, save the tide and relieve the upside down of the people.

At first, Wu Zheng was also excited and proud when he took every bet again and again in exchange for victory.

But gradually, there were greater battles, more casualties, and too many people died in this anti-Qing cause... Faced with the death that turned into numbers, Wu Zheng gradually became numb. Even if he won, he was rarely excited.

Wu Zheng even doubted whether he had done something wrong, because the Qing Dynasty won the world. After all, the war was over and no more people would die.

And he raised this flag on the southeast coast, which triggered a third of the world, indirectly caused a three-way separatist rule. Even if the Qing Dynasty was driven back to the outside of the pass, what would happen next between the Yongli and Jianxing dynasties?

This is not just about who will become the emperor, but about the struggle between the two major interest groups. Who is willing to give in?

Wu Zheng was worried that because of his appearance and actions, the world would become worse.

Liu Fang's words were vulgar, but he was right. One general succeeded and his bones were woven. If he could let go, Wu Zheng would also want to... go home.

It has been more than six years, and my son and daughter are three years old, but Wu Zheng can't even remember what he (she) looks like.

Wu Zheng smiled bitterly in his heart. After traveling through time and going through a lot of hardships, he may still be a loser.

The resonance caused by this psychological torment finally made Wu Zheng relieved, demoting Liu Fang to General Mingwei three levels in a row, and demoting him to General Mingwei, a low-ranking position, and acting as the commander and commander of Hengyang Guard to make meritorious contributions to observe the future.

At the same time, Hengyang Guard was ordered to return to his original resident to rest. Without orders, he was not allowed to move without any action.

Liu let go, and with the scarred Hengyang Wei and ten thousand old and weak, the women and children left, and returned to Hengyang Town.

He promised the families of the dead to give them land, houses, and rebuild a new home.

The elderly, weak, women and children agreed, and they no longer hated Liu Fang.

Perhaps, hope after despair can make people forget everything.

....

Maybe it was caused by Liu Fang.

That night, Li Dingguo and Wu Zheng sat silently by the Shi River.

There is a moon in the sky and wine in front of you.

But half an hour passed and no one wanted to touch the wine bowl.

Just sit opposite each other and look at each other.

"Actually, Li also wanted to live such a life... a few acres of thin fields, a cow, a pound of turbid wine, three bowls of rice, children and grandchildren around their knees, family happiness... How great!"

It is indeed rare for Li Dingguo to say such words.

But Wu Zheng was not in the mood to tease, just listened silently.

"Li knows that you are maintaining General Liu." Li Dingguo sighed, "If it weren't for this, Liu Fang would not have... a good end in the future!"

Wu Zheng's face fluctuated a little, and he said leisurely: "A powerful general lives in his imagination after all, and no one can understand the pain behind this glory... Liu Fang is better, after all, he is fighting against foreign tribes... But if you and I..."

Wu Zheng didn't continue talking.

Because there is no need to say that Li Dingguo can understand.

"You... are you so sure that Emperor Jianxing is more wise than His Majesty?" Li Dingguo became a little angry again.

Wu Zheng laid his hand and signaled Li Dingguo not to be anxious.

"For thousands of years, whenever dynasties change, they will first rise and then decline. Just like life, old age, sickness and death, it is a rule... Putting the hope of the country and nation on a wise king is the biggest drawback in thousands of years."

Li Dingguo's face changed drastically. He was surprised, even more than Wu Zheng said that he wanted to be the emperor.

Although Wu Zheng had expressed his intention to "the real truth of the Void Lord" in the first two times, he could not accept it by saying it so clearly.

"Absurd!" Li Dingguo shouted in a low voice, "The king is the leader of the minister... Our clan has followed the ceremony of the Three Bonds and Five Constant Ones for thousands of years... If you do such a great debauchery, you will be scolded by the world and be infamous for thousands of years!"

Wu Zheng sighed slightly, isn’t it just over three hundred years away? Is it so difficult to accept?

Is it interesting to have to offer God on his head?

But Wu Zheng also knew that this method really didn't work. The people were used to having an emperor on their heads. If they really wanted to change it, they might really be the target of the target, and they would even be even more tolerant than their own "stealing the country".

Wu Zheng stopped insisting and said, "I want to see Emperor Yongli... Can I introduce it?"

Li Dingguo frowned and said, "You want to convince Your Majesty... it's better to save some quarrels."

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "It's not just persuasion, but I mainly want to... determine the direction of the strategic offensive of the two armies in the future. Otherwise, the Daxi Army and the Northern Expedition Army will run side by side. If you are not careful, there will be friction... It will make the Qing court laugh at me for nothing."

After hearing this, Li Dingguo nodded and said, "This is...but Your Majesty will not allow the Northern Expedition Army to exist in Henan and Huguang. For this matter, Your Majesty has already issued dozens of decrees to me... Forget it, if you mention this matter to Your Majesty, it may end up."

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "Not necessarily."

"What do you mean?"

"One time and another time... Even the King of Qin has been sealed out, so what else can't be negotiated?"

Li Dingguo's face changed again, and he sighed and said, "... Maybe, Your Majesty has a last resort."

Wu Zheng suddenly stood up and smiled and said, "It's late at night... This time, King Jin accompanied me to visit. Then tomorrow I will accompany King Jin to visit Emperor Yongli, which will be considered as a reward for my favor."

Li Dingguo slowly stood up and stared at Wu Zheng and said, "You really want to go?"

"certainly."

"Aren't you afraid that Sun Kewang will take you as a stake?"

Wu Zheng laughed and pointed at Li Ding's Highway: "With the King of Jin traveling with me, what am I afraid of?"

Li Dingguo was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand, pointed at Wu Zheng and scolded: "Looking at your face, I thought you were a real person, but I didn't expect you to be so slick?!"
