Chapter 389

"Yes!" Zhan Wushuang nodded heavily and said, "I have made such a decision. Of course, this is also the decision of my king."

After hearing Zhan Wushuang's confirmation, Zhong Tian was dumbfounded. He stood there in a daze, unable to react for a long time. He was the king in Fengguo. If he went to Ningguo, what would he be? After a long time, Zhong Tian came back to his senses from shock and astonishment. He was anxious and sweating, and said repeatedly: "No, absolutely not! If General Wushuang and General Wudi return to the country, then... what should I do?"

Zhan Wudi frowned and said: "Didn't I say just now that you follow our brothers back to Ningguo, and after Ningguo, you will set up the court and look for opportunities to counterattack!"

It's easy to say, but how can it be so simple in reality? Zhong Tian knew that once he left Fengguo, it would be basically impossible to fight back to Fengguo and regain the throne.

He wanted to say more, but Zhan Wudi interrupted him with a wave of his hand, saying, "No need to say more, and this is what our King Ning meant. If you are unwilling, then you can stay in Fengguo. We brothers don't want to be buried with you!"

Zhan Wudi's words did not leave Zhong Tian any face. The latter's face was extremely ugly. The faces of the ministers and generals behind him were not much better. They gritted their teeth and clenched their fists, but they could do nothing about the Zhan brothers.

Finally, it was a minister who was close to Zhong Tian who whispered, "Your Majesty, the current domestic situation is indeed extremely unfavorable to us. Instead of waiting... Instead of defending half of the country, it is better to withdraw to Ningguo first, recuperate, and recruit talents from all over the world. Perhaps there is still a possibility of restoring the country. I hope your Majesty will think twice!"

"Well! This lord is right. Your Majesty should not act on his own, so that you will regret it in the future!" Zhan Wudi said coldly. Although he called him Lord Zhong Tian, ​​his attitude was not respectful to the king at all, and he was completely a savior who was high above.

Zhong Tian was not a fool. If he thought about it carefully, it was indeed impossible to rely on a few counties in the south to resist the high-spirited Tianyuan Army, but could he really make a comeback by retreating to Ningguo? In his opinion, this was also extremely unrealistic. However, staying would lead to death, and it was true that he could survive by fleeing to Ningguo. After thinking about it, Zhong Tian couldn't help but sigh to the sky and said faintly: "Heaven doesn't help me, heaven doesn't help me!"

In order to save his life, Zhong Tian finally compromised and accepted the "suggestions" of Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi, agreeing to follow the Ning Army and retreat to Ningguo.

But the retreat to the south would not be smooth sailing. When they retreated to Fengcheng, they faced the 100,000 Tianying Army led by Ziying.

Now, the Tianying Army has besieged Fengcheng, but it has not attacked. Ziying sent lobbyists from the army into the city to persuade the city lord of Fengcheng to surrender. The Lord of Fengcheng did not immediately accept the surrender, but he did not explicitly say that he would not accept it. He replied that he would consider it again. Of course, he said he was considering it, but in fact he was stalling for time, hoping to see the overall situation more clearly before making plans.

At this time, the two remnants of the Ning Army and the Peng Army, about 70,000 in number, arrived.

Upon learning that the main forces of the Ning Army and the Peng Army had arrived, Ziying ordered his subordinates who were besieging the city to be recalled early, and they lined up in front of Fengcheng City with great fanfare and were ready to fight.

When the Ning Army and the Peng Army arrived, they saw this interesting scene. The flag of Peng Kingdom was still flying on the top of Fengcheng City, but the Feng Army lined up in front of the city. The Feng Army turned a blind eye to Fengcheng behind them, as if they were not afraid that the Peng Army in the city would suddenly come out and attack them from behind.

Ziying had carefully considered the formation. He was a general under Zhong Tian and was very familiar with the situation on Zhong Tian's side. He knew that the Lord of Fengcheng was not Zhong Tian's direct descendant. Under the current trend, the Lord of Fengcheng could not be so stupid as to die with Zhong Tian. The reason why he did not immediately accept his surrender was that he was waiting to see the situation clearly.

Now his formation was completely defenseless against Fengcheng, and it was also deliberately done for the Lord of Fengcheng to show that he trusted him and sincerely hoped that he would surrender.

One hundred thousand Sky Eagles blocked the way in front of Fengcheng. The most hateful thing was that the leading general was Ziying. Zhong Tian was furious. Accompanied by several personal guards, he rode out of his own camp, but he reined in his horse before he went far and stopped moving forward.

He looked at Ziying under the banner of the opposite commander, his eyes flashed with cold light, and he swallowed the curse that was on his lips. He squeezed out a smile on his gloomy face and shouted loudly: "Is the general in front my beloved general Ziying?"

When Zhong Tian just walked out, Ziying saw him and couldn't help but take a breath. Now after hearing Zhong Tian's question, Ziying's old face suddenly turned red. From the heart, no matter what kind of person Zhong Tian was, he was kind to him. Now that he abandoned Zhong Tian and joined Tang Yin, Ziying still felt a little sorry.

Alas! He sighed secretly, urged the warhorse, walked out of his own square formation, and when he arrived in front of the two armies, he bowed to Zhong Tian and said: "The last general Ziying greets Lord Zhong!"

Lord Zhong was what Ziying called Zhong Tian when he was not yet king.

Zhong Tian frowned secretly when he heard this, and he could tell from it that Ziying no longer recognized him as the king. Zhong Tian suppressed his anger, tried his best to speak softly, and said: "I treat General Ziying well! I promoted you from an ordinary soldier to a captain of thousands, a commander of a corps, and even a dignified general, but you are at the critical moment At this time, you have to turn your back on the battlefield. How can you live up to my trust and kindness? Is it true that General Ziying, who has been entrusted with important tasks by my king, is ruthless, unfaithful, and greedy for life? ?”

Zhong Tian couldn't lead the troops to fight, but he had a good eloquence. After speaking, Ziying Wen was speechless and blushed.

Seeing the shame on his face, Zhong Tian pretended to sigh and said: "I believe that General Ziying is definitely not such a person. Even if he defected in front of the battle, he must have had a reason. What happened in the past, I believe that General Ziying is not such a person." The king can forget the past, as long as General Ziying can return to the king now, the king will still trust General Ziying and use him, and even share half of the country with the general!"

These words are too strong. Since ancient times, the country belongs to the king. How can there be any example of the king sharing it with his ministers? As soon as Zhong Tian said these words, the soldiers of both armies couldn't help but make a sound of inhalation.

In fact, Zhong Tian just said it beautifully. In fact, he doesn't have half of the country. It's just a blank check. Don't say it doesn't exist. Even if it does, he won't share it with others. He already hates Ziying deeply. If it's the latter If he was really willing to turn back, the first thing Zhong Tian would do would be to get rid of him.

Ziying was not the roundworm in Zhong Tian's belly, so she naturally didn't know what he was thinking, but he was very touched by Zhong Tian's words. Just when he didn't know what to say, the deputy commander of the Sky Eagle Army Chang Junuo urged his horse to come to him, first gave Zhong Tian a hard look, and then said to Ziying: "General, don't listen to the sweet words of the old thief Zhong Tian. This old thief killed the king to seize the throne and betrayed the country for glory. What has he done to our majestic Dafeng country? Until now, he has not repented and deceived people. The general should make up his mind to eliminate thieves for the country!"

After finishing speaking, Juno shouted loudly to Zhong Tian: "Old thief, General Ziying knows the righteousness well, how can he join the same trend as the national thief? If you have any real principles, just use them on the battlefield, and don't talk about it anymore. The power!”

Although Juno was just a rough man, his words made Ziying clear his mind. Yes, the reason why he chose to join Tang Yin was not because he was greedy for life but because he was afraid of death, but for the sake of the thousands of people in Feng Kingdom. Peng If the country is immortal, Feng Guo will lose not only its national title, but also its thousands of miles of territory and the dignity of the country.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, looked up at Zhong Tian opposite him, and said sternly: "Since I was born as a wind man, I will also die as a wind ghost. Mr. Zhong, listen to the advice of the general. It's not too late to repent now. As long as Zhong If you are willing to surrender, I will definitely do my best to plead with you and save Master Zhong's life. If you are unwilling, I will go to hell with you to repay Master Zhong for your kindness..."

Before Ziying could finish what he said, Zhong Tian couldn't hold it back any longer, his eyes spit fire, he roared angrily, and shouted: "Fart! You ungrateful villain, if I had known that today, this king would You really should have been cut into pieces and cut into pieces!" After saying this, he looked back at the general behind him and asked, "Who wants to take Ziying's head?"

"I'll go!" With a loud shout, a Peng general urged his horse to rush out.

Ziying is a literary general and does not know martial arts. All the Peng generals know this, so after Zhong Tian finished asking, the Peng soldiers were all eager to try, but this Peng general was the fastest and rushed directly to the formation of the two armies. forward.

Seeing the enemy general coming out to call for battle, Juno waved his hand to Ziying and said, "The general will return to his own formation to watch the battle. The last general will go and fight him!" After saying this, without waiting for Ziying to nod in agreement, Juno urged his horse to charge forward.

Seeing that Ziying didn't come, a burly military general with a spear came. The Peng general was shocked. When Juno rushed forward, he shouted: "Come and give me your name!"

Juno didn't say anything in reply. He rushed directly in front of the opponent's horse, shook his spear and stabbed.

The Peng general was startled and hurriedly dodged sideways.

sand!

Juno's spirit spear almost passed through his chest, and General Peng was also startled and broke into a cold sweat.

"What an ignorant thing!" General Peng cursed angrily and slashed Juno's left shoulder with his knife. The latter put away his gun, moved it upwards, and caught its edge.

When the rang rang - the spirit knife struck the barrel of the spirit spear, a cloud of sparks flew up. When the two sides were misaligned, Juno suddenly used a carbine to stab General Peng in the back.

General Peng reacted quickly and hurriedly blocked with his sword. He deflected Juno's carbine. Unexpectedly, the opponent had a back-up plan. The moment the spirit spear was deflected, Juno drew out his sword with his other hand. Aiming at General Peng's weak spot, he stabbed hard.
