Wu Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when a group of people came from the south gate.

Zhang Guowei was the one who took the lead.

Although Wu Zheng had already learned from Chi Erhan that Zhang Guowei was not dead and was still alive, he actually saw a person who had been dead for a year and appeared in front of him. The shock in his heart was huge.

It was not until Zhang Guowei came to the front and patted Wu Zheng on the shoulder that Wu Zheng reacted.

"Mr. Zhang...uh!" Wu Zheng didn't know what to say, but just held Zhang Guowei's hand with both hands. The excitement in his heart made Wu Zheng incoherent.

The news that Zhang Guowei died in the Yiting Pavilion made Wu Zheng feel very guilty. In fact, he had the spare time to return to Shaoxing Prefecture at that time, but he was not a saint, and he had his own interests to ask for.

Now that he, Zhang Guowei, is standing in front of him alive, how can Wu Zheng not be excited?

Zhang Guowei looked at the scene in front of him with a smile, and then said to Wu Zheng, "First solve the current situation, let's talk about mine later."

Zhang Guowei bypassed Wu Zheng, came to Fang Guoan, inspected Fang Guoan's injuries, and said calmly: "I am very happy that you can return to the wrong path. In today's battle, you did a good job, and the soldiers were also brave..."

His soft words actually made Fang Guoan cry and the soldiers behind Fang Guoan burst into tears. Fang Guoan held Zhang Guowei's hand tightly with his right hand and choked up and said, "You are alive... I am so happy... I am so happy. Do you know that I have been blaming myself for these days. I killed you."

Zhang Guowei whispered: "Nonsense, I committed suicide by throwing myself into the lake that day, what do you have to do with you?"

Fang Guoan cried and said, "If I had not surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing army would not have been able to move south smoothly..."

"Stop talking." Zhang Guowei stopped him, "Look, am I alive now? The battle at Shaoxing Prefecture has reached this point, and your army needs to rest. After I discuss with the Duke of Zhenguo, I will withdraw back to the Three Realms first."

Fang Guoan nodded vigorously.

....

That night, Wu Zheng and Zhang Guowei talked under the moon.

"Wu Zheng, you have always done a good job, even more than I imagined. To say what I really mean, I envy you for having no worries." Zhang Guowei looked up at the starry sky and said slowly, "Do you know, the moment I jumped down from the city, I felt very relaxed, and I felt that I didn't need to worry about the world anymore."

"This kind of worry and worry makes me very painful. Seeing that the Ming Dynasty lost hope step by step, I knew where the disadvantages were, but I was unable to change it. This pain can swallow people's hearts. But you are different. You are young and vigorous, without any bonds, and you do whatever you want, and it really does it. This makes me envious."

Speaking of this, Zhang Guowei turned around and looked at Wu Zheng quietly, "But you can't go far, but you forgot why you set out. On that day, you said in a humble house with great enthusiasm, "You want to expel the Tartars and restore my Ming Dynasty, is it still counting?"

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "Of course, it's a number."

Zhang Guowei nodded and said, "That's good. I can't teach you. I can't do anything you have done, but I can help you realize this ambition... But you have to promise me that you should not deviate from our common wishes and the countless righteous men and wise men who have already sacrificed for it."

Wu Zhengsu said: "Wu Zheng remembers it."

Zhang Guowei then calmed down, "Fang Guoan was just confused for a moment. At least he did not have too much blood from the Ming people on his hands. From this point of view, his sins are much less than many surrendered generals. Wu Zheng, you also said that to realize the ambition of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty in your heart, you need to unite all those who can unite. Isn't Fang Guoan here? You can accept people like Ma Shiying, why should Fang Guoan be resolutely lenient?"

Wu Zheng argued: "Mr. Zhang Gong misunderstood. Wu Zheng had no intention of rejecting Fang Guoan. He even felt a little apology for the huge casualties of Fang Guoan's Ministry of War in this battle. But such sacrifices are not only Fang Guoan. All the troops under my command fought so hard, especially the Zhou Dahu army. In the battle of Guali, there were only 2,000 people left. If we treat the other Ministry of War in a different way, how can we face the rest of the officers and soldiers who are loyal to the country?"

Zhang Guowei nodded and sighed: "This is also true. But what Fang Guoan may need is not praise, but you just need as a head coach to affirm their sacrifice today."

Wu Zheng was stunned and then said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I have no intention of being reluctant to target Fang Guoan."

Zhang Guowei said: "It should be like this. This world cannot be restored by no one or a group of people. We need more people to join us to join us to participate in the great cause. There are so many generals who surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Wu Zheng, you cannot cut off the road to the Qing Dynasty because of one person. If there is a fire today, Fang Guoan will have little life and death, but if it is spread, who dares to return to our dynasty? This is equivalent to investing in the enemy."

Wu Zheng understood and responded: "Mr. Zhang said that Wu Zheng was reckless."

Zhang Guowei clicked and smiled, "Why, don't you want to hear how I escaped from death that day?"

Wu Zheng also laughed, "I was about to ask, but wasn't Zhang Gong scolding Wu Zheng?"

Zhang Guowei laughed and scolded: "Why did you scold me? It's just a reminder."

Then Zhang Guowei talked about his escape from death.

On that day, Zhang Guowei was trapped in a heavy siege and resolutely jumped down the city wall and fell into Baima Lake. Because the place where he fell into the water was not deep, Zhang Guowei did not drown because of this, but unfortunately, his legs were broken by the stones in the lake and fainted from pain.

After fainting, there was less movement, which made Duoduo think that Zhang Guowei had sunk into the lake and drowned.

However, Zhang Guowei drifted far away with the undercurrent. Baima Lake was bent. The drowning Zhang Guowei was rescued by fishermen in the lake. He was unconscious for many days before he woke up.

At that time, the Qing army had occupied most counties and towns in Shaoxing, and the imperial court retreated to Pinggang Mountain Village, and there was no possibility of contacting the Ming army.

In addition, it takes time to heal the broken leg, and Zhang Guowei felt a strong sense of fatigue about the current situation.

I stayed in that small fishing village to recuperate.

After that, Wu Zheng restored the Nine Palaces and the court returned to Nanjing.

Zhang Guowei was moved when he heard this and wanted to leave the fishing village and return to the court. However, the civil strife in Yingtian Prefecture disappointed Zhang Guowei again and gave up the idea of ​​returning.

I wanted to hide my name in a small fishing village from now on and spend this chaotic world, but a tragedy happened at this time.

Zhang Guowei said with tears in his eyes and said in anger: "Just just to steal a few chickens, ducks and livestock, the Tartars slaughtered the entire fishing village, seventy-nine! If I hadn't been fishing in the lake with the old fisherman, I would have been doomed."

Wu Zheng nodded and replied: "The Tartars are cruel, and they are known to everyone."
