Li Jing still had some integrity when faced with the survival of his family and country.

No longer paying attention to his beloved son, he called for the privy envoy Chen Chuyao and the envoy Zheng Yanhua.

These two people are what Li Jing calls men of extraordinary intelligence, fierce generals who are not afraid of life and death.

Chen Chuyao came from a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. He was a smart man and was good at maneuvering. When Guo Rong was on his southern expedition and the battle was at its most intense, Chen Chuyao was ordered to go to the Khitan as an envoy, bringing a large sum of money to ask the Khitan to send troops to rescue him.

Chen Chuyao was eloquent and spoke eloquently.

The emperor Yelujing at that time fell in love with Chen Chuyao the more he saw him. The Khitan culture was no different from that of the Central Plains. There were many famous people in the court, but most of them were rough northerners.

It was rare to see a noble son from the south of the Yangtze River like Chen Chuyao. He loved his talent, so he forced him to stay and serve the Khitan.

Chen Chuyao was very courageous and publicly criticized Yelujing many times, but Yelujing did not blame him.

It was not until the Khitan civil war that Chen Chuyao found the opportunity to return south.

With this level of experience, Chen Chuyao's status in Jiangnan has risen step by step. He has abilities, but whether he can be regarded as extremely talented or not is a matter of opinion.

But Zheng Yanhua is a well-deserved warrior who is not afraid of life and death.

It's funny to say that none of the generals who can really fight in Jiangnan, whether they are Zhu Yuan, Guo Tingwei, Lin Renzhao, or now Chai Kehong, Chen Hui, Chen Decheng and his son, and Zheng Yanhua, are from Jiangnan.

Zheng Yanhua was originally a former general of the Fujian Kingdom and was just a small military academy.

In the Battle of Purple Mountain, he fought a bloody battle with the Zhou army. His predecessor suffered more than fifty wounds, but he still moved forward bravely. From a hundred-man general, he was killed alive to the position of Jiedushi, and became the envoy to the south of the Yangtze River.

It is also because of these two people that Li Jing still has the courage to fight against the Central Plains.

"The situation is critical now. Cao Bin has led his troops to approach Nanchang Mansion. How do the two beloved ministers think they should respond?"

Li Jing looked at Chen Chuyao and Zheng Yanhua with some hope, fearing that they would also say words of surrender.

Many officials in Nanchang still wanted to fight at the beginning. After all, Cao Bin's "softie" behavior at the beginning gave them a lot of confidence.

But as the Central Plains army crossed the river and Jiangzuo fell in an instant, the tone began to change, and everyone became a surrender faction.

But what can Li Jing say?

His favorite son is also a capitulator.

Zheng Yanhua said: "No matter what the situation is, I will only fight to the death to repay His Majesty's kindness."

It goes without saying that Zheng Yanhua is brave and not afraid of death, but to promote a strong general who knows how to charge into battle to this position shows how lacking in talent he is.

Chen Chuyao said: "If your Majesty wants to resist and defend Nanchang Mansion, it is tantamount to tying yourself up. The only way for now is to send out surprise troops to destroy the Yangtze River Floating Bridge, and then there is a possibility of turning defeat into victory. In my opinion, it is better to work hard for the king in all directions, so

We will defend to the death and lure Cao Bin to attack the city."

"Order Ezhou and Jiangzhou to gather naval forces and go south to attract Lin Renzhao's attention. Zheng sent his troops to take the land route, march directly to Chizhou, and attack Lin Renzhao by land and water. As long as Lin Renzhao's navy is defeated and the Yangtze River floating bridge is destroyed, it is no problem."

Li Jing's face turned pale and he said, "Mr. Zheng is gone, how is Nanchang Mansion?"

Chen Chuyao said: "In this situation, there is only one bet. If the Yangtze River Floating Bridge is not destroyed, we in Jiangnan have no chance of winning."

"All right!"

Li Jing finally made up his mind and gave it a try.

After this order was issued, Li Jing did not feel relieved, but became even more panicked: With Zheng Yanhua gone, wouldn't Nanchang become more dangerous?

Thinking about the suggestions made by Li Congjia and many ministers, he was actually a little moved.

While asking his cronies to fight with their lives, he was thinking about surrender.

There is nothing more indecisive than this.

Thinking of Liu Chengjun from Hedong exposing himself to a sheep, Li Jing, who has the best face, really doesn't want to be humiliated...

When he was in a dilemma, Li Jing couldn't help but scolded Li Hongji as "a traitor" to vent his dissatisfaction.

Thinking about his unpopular son, Li Jing had an idea in his heart... What if?

Li Jing suddenly felt that his head hurt. He was getting older and it was time to get sick.

Almost at the same time, Gao Fang of Xichang City also received "bad news."

Emperor Duan Sichong of Dali had a close relationship with the Yang family.

Dali country respects four surnames, namely Duan Gao, Dong Yang, and so on.

Among them, the Duan family is the imperial surname and ranks first.

The Gao family and the Dong family are ranked second and third because Gao Fang and Dong Jialuo, two ministers of the dragon, have been reused.

As for the fourth surname Yang, it is different from Duan Gaodong and is very special.

In Dali, the Bai people are respected, and the Yang family is the most common surname of the Bai people.

In order to win over the Yang family, Duan Siping married Yang Guixian and made her queen.

Among the puppets of the Duan family in Dali, the Dong family has declined, and only the Yang family, the most surnamed, has the power to threaten the Gao family.

Historically, because the Song Dynasty gave up attacking Dali, the Gao family tried its best to suppress the Yang family in Dali, and finally forced Yang Yunxian and Yang Yizhen to rebel.

After Gao Zhisheng and Gao Shengtai destroyed the Yang family, Dali officially became the Gao family. If they wanted to be emperor, they deposed the Duan family. If they didn't want to play anymore, they established the Duan family and manipulated it left and right.

Now that the Central Plains is moving south, Gao Fang has been defeated repeatedly, and the royal family Duan and Yang are inevitably ready to make a move.

Gao Fang leaned on the chair, closed his eyes and thought deeply, as if falling asleep.

However, his ups and downs of chest confirmed his mood at the moment.

After a long while, he said: "Is this related to the Central Plains?"

Zong Qi, who hurriedly came from Yangjumei City, the capital of Dali, to convey the message: "In all likelihood, a Central Plains painter named Shi Ke was invited to Dali to paint more than a month ago. We were careless."

Gao Fang gritted his teeth and said, "Where is he now?"

Zong Qi replied: "I am painting in Tianlong Temple now, do you want to..."

Gao Fang shook his head slightly: "Tianlong Temple is a holy place in the hearts of my followers in Dali. We must not act rashly. We have suffered successive losses on the front line, and if we continue to cause trouble in Tianlong Temple, it is equivalent to breaking up with the Duan family and the Yang family. Without the help of the Central Plains, our Gao family has no chance of winning."

Zong Qi's eyes were slightly frightened, and he said: "What should we do? The young master is a little alone in Yangju City..."

Gao Fang slammed his hands on his face and said loudly: "Go and call Dong Yun."

Dong Yun works nearby, and it's only a short walk away.

Gao Fang didn't wait for Dong Yun to speak, and said directly: "Mr. Excuse me, I went to visit Chengdu and said that I don't know how high the sky is, and I tried to resist the heavenly soldiers. I am willing to bow my head and plead guilty. I beg the emperor to show mercy and forgive the small southern barbarian country."

Zong Qi exclaimed: "Marquis Yue?"

Dong Yun opened his mouth, unable to accept it for a while, and then said after a while: "Has it reached this point?"

Gao Fang said angrily: "I originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos in Jiangnan to force the Central Plains to give in. I never thought that Jiangnan is like an embroidered pillow. The Central Plains are too strong, and my opponents can only break their arms to deal with the Duan family and the Yang family. Other than that, there is no other way.

There is no other way.”

When he said this, he sighed helplessly: "Sir, I am here to inquire about the requirements of the Emperor of Central Plains. There is no need to worry that the Emperor of Central Plains will refuse the peace talks. Now it can be said that both parties are in agreement. The Emperor of Central Plains has already grasped us. Either we will die or we will die."

Not his chess piece. He doesn’t want to see his chess pieces destroyed..."
