The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 561 Choice
But one day, Zhang Zhongliang and his party were finally escorted to the county town controlled by the Hengshan Army.

When Luo Feng learned of the arrival of Zhang Zhongliang and his party, he couldn't help being overjoyed.It would be a worthwhile trip to win Zhang Zhongliang alone.

However, when Zhang Zhongliang saw Luo Feng, he immediately said in a deep voice: "General Luo, now that Yancheng has been destroyed, Cao Jun will definitely march south. We can't stay here for long, we should leave as soon as possible."

Luo Feng couldn't help but startled slightly when he heard that, "Yancheng, how could it be destroyed so quickly?"

"That's right, when the King of Yan decided to send his family members out that night, he had already planned to destroy the city." Zhang Zhongliang nodded sadly, "Now that Yanzhou's power has been destroyed, there is no one who can restrain his army. Zhang still wants to advise the general that the return of Yanzhou to Cao is irreversible, and your army should prepare early."

Luo Feng nodded slowly, and looked at him with some hesitation, "Sir, what you said is reasonable, but now the Mingzhou army seems to have the intention of attacking Yanzhou. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for our army to withdraw at this time?"

"Strike Yanzhou? Just rely on the Mingzhou Army?" Zhang Zhongliang couldn't help laughing, "How many soldiers and horses are there in Mingzhou now? I'm afraid they can use less than [-] troops? Haha, Cao's army has tens of thousands of troops Going south, the first thing they have to deal with is Mingzhou. They don't have enough self-protection, how can they attack Yanzhou? If Zhang's prediction is not bad, when King Ming learns that Yancheng has fallen, he will have to retreat to Shahu Pass. From now on The situation in this world will be that Hengshan and the Cao family will stand side by side, and Mingzhou will just survive in the cracks."

"Don't you ever think about regaining Yanzhou, sir?" Luo Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "With Prince Yan's heir raising his arms, and with the help of our army and the Mingzhou army, maybe we can expel Cao's army. How about controlling Yanzhou?"

"General Luo's words are wrong." Zhang Zhongliang knew that the other party was still confused, and immediately explained, "Yanzhou is the foundation established by King Yan, but it has only been established for ten years, and the people's hearts have not been fully attached. It can be said that the foundation is shallow. Now that Yanzhou has experienced several wars, the people have long been in dire straits, and the people's minds are stable, so how can they be chaotic again? And Prince Yan's heirs are all cowardly and mediocre people, and it is difficult to take on the task of revival. When parting, King Yan told Zhang that Lin Guo You are a benevolent lord. If you go to Hengshan, as long as you keep yourself safe, you will be able to ensure peace for the rest of your life. As for Zhang, when he joined King Yan at the beginning, it was because of his talent as a hero. He hoped to use his strength to stabilize the world as soon as possible. Now the general situation is gone. Zhang no longer wanted to do what he wanted, but only wanted to find a safe place to live, and ended his remaining life."

Even though Luo Feng knew that this was his humble words, he couldn't help but say solicitously: "With Mr. Zhang's talents, if you come to Hengshan, you will be able to fulfill your lifelong ambition."

Zhang Zhongliang smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Luo Feng knew that he would not agree so readily, and did not dare to force him again, as long as he was in Hengshan.

Not long after, Luo Feng gathered the scattered cavalry and immediately abandoned the city and headed west.

When Yang Mingyuan, who was attacking Pingyang County, heard that Yancheng had fallen, he was stunned.All this completely disrupted his plan. He originally thought that as long as Yancheng continued to hold on, and Cao Jun had no food supply, he could only choose to retreat.But never expected that Yancheng would fall so quickly.Then all the plans I had arranged before were invalidated.

Tens of thousands of troops marched south, how could they resist the fact that Mingzhou had less than 10 troops?Yang Mingyuan's face was gloomy, and he staggered into the big tent.He stood blankly in front of a map, which depicted a map of the four parties.But now, Yanzhou is gone, and there are only three parties left in the picture.

Yang Mingyuan looked bitterly at the small black shadow in the picture. It had Yanzhou as a foil before, so there was nothing unusual about it.Looking at it now, I can only feel how dazzling and small the shadow of Mingzhou is.It was inserted between Hengshan and the forces of the Cao family, that is, like a nail, it pierced the middle of the two sides.It looked like a piece of fat again, and the two sides were staring at each other with their mouths wide open.

"Hehe!" Yang Mingyuan couldn't help laughing bitterly, and sighed sadly, "It's really Wang Tu's hegemony that turns his head away. In today's world, where is my foothold, Yang Mingyuan? Two tigers are fighting, and Mingzhou may no longer be independent. It's possible."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the last general, Lu Zhan, will meet you." At this moment, Lu Zhan's voice came from outside the tent.

"Come in." Yang Mingyuan looked at the map without looking back, and replied lightly.

Lu Zhan walked in immediately, seeing that the king was fine, he couldn't help but feel relieved, "Your Majesty, what is this?"

"Lu Zhan, come and take a look." Yang Mingyuan called him over, pointed at the map and said, "Can you see anything different?"

Lu Zhan glanced at him suspiciously, and then looked at the map. At first, he couldn't see anything unusual, but as he concentrated, he immediately noticed something, and his face changed drastically, "Your Majesty, this, this. ..."

"Hehe, did you see it too?" Yang Mingyuan smiled wryly, "Tell me your opinion."

"This? The last general, the last general." Lu Zhan really couldn't say it. The current situation in Mingzhou has collapsed to such an extent.

"There's nothing wrong with that." Yang Mingyuan shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "My Mingzhou has become a fish and meat, and I am slaughtered. It's just that I don't know who can eat our delicious food. Now the situation in the world has become clear, and the two Standing side by side, fighting for the top of the world, we have nowhere to go."

"Your Majesty." Lu Zhan retorted with a gloomy face, "Aren't we allied with Hengshan now? Why don't we seek Hengshan's protection? The Cao family occupies Yanzhou, and their strength will be stronger. The general thought that Hengshan would not sit idly by, Let it grow bigger. And I, Mingzhou, can just be used as a barrier to contain the strength of Cao Jun."

"You think too simply." Yang Mingyuan shook his head and smiled wryly, "If Yanzhou is still there, it may be used as a check and balance. Now that Yanzhou is gone, no matter who it is, it will not allow Mingzhou to exist again. Just imagine, if You are the master of one of them, will you put a vacillating force by your side?"

"This?" Lu Zhan was speechless immediately, "Then, what should we do?"

"What should I do?" Yang Mingyuan said quietly with his hands behind his back: "Cao Jun will definitely go south if he takes Yanzhou. If he wants to take advantage of the situation and take Mingzhou, there is no possibility of reconciliation with him. For the current plan, we can only choose to return to Hengshan gone."

"Back to Hengshan? Your Majesty, didn't you just say that none of them would let us go?" Lu Zhan asked in confusion.

"What this king means is to give up military power, rule power, and completely hand over Mingzhou to Hengshan." Yang Mingyuan's eyes showed a look of pain.

"What? How is this possible? Mingzhou is the foundation you laid down alone." Lu Zhan exclaimed.

"This is our last path. For the sake of everyone's lives, what should be discarded must be discarded." Yang Mingyuan sighed, "There are two reasons why this king chose Hengshan. First, the Lord of Hengshan treats the people of Zhongyuan. It's quite kind. Only when I seek refuge can I save my life. Second, Hengshan's strength is stronger than that of the Cao family. In the future, the ownership of this world is very likely to be acquired by Hengshan. You may have a chance to use force if you seek refuge. the possibilities of the land.”

"What about you, my lord? What will you do? How will they treat you?" Lu Zhan couldn't help but worry.

"Haha, you don't have to worry. If the king goes to seek refuge, he will be banned at most." Yang Mingyuan laughed and said, "Then Lin Guogong has to make a show of buying horse bones with thousands of dollars. Otherwise, who in this world would dare Go to work?"

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, your life will be ruined." Lu Zhan said unwillingly, "With your talent..."

"Okay, don't need to say too much, go and send an order to withdraw the troops." Yang Mingyuan waved his hand immediately before he finished speaking, ordering to go on.
