The uncle Zou mentioned by Fang La was none other than Zou Yan, the founder of the Yin Yang and Five Elements theory, and his implanted identity was Nan Hua’s junior brother.
After hearing what Fang La said, Zou Yan naturally knew what Fang La was thinking, so he said unhurriedly: "Of course, among the many disciples of Zhang Jiao's nephew, the one that the leader is most optimistic about is you Fang La." "This disciple still has many shortcomings. I hope that I can always receive the teachings of my ancestors and uncles in the future." Fang La said pretending to be humble.
A smile flashed in Zou Yan's eyes, and he said calmly: "Nowadays, hundreds of sects are choosing their leaders, and you and Zhang Sheng are the candidates that our Yin Yang family values the most."
Fang La's smiling face gradually solidified, and his eyes were filled with fear.
Fang La was just the apprentice of Fangqushuai Zhang Jiao, but Zhang Sheng was the son of his master, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, so he didn’t need to think about it to know what the Yin and Yang family would choose.
Is it that we, Fang La, are destined to be inferior to Zhang Sheng?
No, I am not willing to do so.
Zhang Sheng has no meritorious deeds, so why can he be the emperor?
Even if he is Master’s son, I, Fang La, still won’t accept it!
Fang La has always respected Zhang Jiao, but this does not mean that he will bring his feelings for Zhang Jiao to Zhang Sheng.
Although Fang La did not participate in the succession battle, he still had some expectations in his heart. Unfortunately, it was never his turn, so he was only jealous of Zhang Sheng.
Suddenly Fang La's eyes lit up, and a vicious idea came into his mind.
By the way, this time supporting Yangzhou is an opportunity.
A sneer flashed across Fang La's lips, and he thought: Zhang Sheng, don't blame me, you are not worthy of being the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Master, please forgive me, this disciple is also doing it for the good of the Ming Dynasty.
What Fang La didn't know was that all of his reactions were expected by Zou Yan, and perhaps could be said to be guided.
Looking at Fang La's leaving figure, Zou Yan smiled disdainfully, and then said coldly to himself: "Fang La, Fang La, the Yin and Yang family is not that easy to get into, and compared to Zhang Jiao, you are still far behind."<

Jiangdong, Ming Army Camp.
Yang Xiuqing had just defused another round of attacks by the Han army. In the battle just now, he discovered some abnormalities among the Han army, so he came to report to Hong Xiuquan without even eating.
Yang Xiuqing hadn't even entered the main battle yet when she heard Hong Xiuquan's roar from a distance.
"What, you said that Fang La not only had no intention of crossing the river to support me, but actually took over my territory in Jiangbei?"
Hong Xiuquan couldn't believe that Fang La did it. Among the many brothers, the relationship between the two of them was the best, so he really couldn't think of the reason why Fang La stabbed him in the back.
"Lord, this is the letter that Governor Fang gave you."
Hong Xiuquan came over quickly. After reading it, he was so angry that he was shaking all over and cursed angrily: "Bitch, bitch."
After scolding, Hong Xiuquan collapsed on the ground, his eyes full of despair.
Yang Xiuqing carefully picked up the letter, and her expression changed drastically after reading it.
"This, this, your majesty will let Governor Fang take over the lord's territory in Jiangbei at this time? This is absolutely impossible!"
Hong Xiuquan's eyes were full of hatred, and he roared: "What's impossible? That bitch must have known that I knew her secret, so she wanted to get rid of me with the help of the Han army. With this little ambition, she still wants to get my Hong Xiuquan."
Loyalty is just a dream."
Yang Xiuqing was stunned when she heard this, and doubts arose in her heart.
Secret?
What secrets does the lord know about your majesty, so that your majesty is so afraid that he uses the help of the Han army to get rid of the lord?
"Zhang Sheng, even if I die, Hong Xiuquan will never let you have an easy time." Hong Xiuquan gritted his teeth and said, "Just wait for me."
In Hong Xiuquan's view, all his territory has been taken over by Fang La, so even if he returns to Jiangbei, Zhang Sheng will never let him go.
The way back has been completely cut off, and the way forward is equally hopeless. This is a dead end.
Facing this certain death situation, Hong Xiuquan was filled with hatred for Zhang Sheng and could no longer care about his master-disciple relationship with Zhang Jiao. He was ready to use his last trump card. The future of Ming Dynasty had nothing to do with him. p>
Seeing this, Yang Xiuqing sighed secretly and said, "Master, we may still have a way to survive."
"What?" Hong Xiuquan suddenly became energetic and said excitedly: "What is the way to survive? Tell me quickly."
"Sun Jian in the north, Liu Yao in the south, Wang Lang in the west, and Lu Kang in the east, these four will surround our army from all sides.
It stands to reason that if these four armies attack together, it will be difficult for our army to resist them, but the Han army has never fought together."
"What does this mean?" Hong Xiuquan asked doubtfully.
"This shows that some people in the Han army do not want our army to be wiped out." Yang Xiuqing said firmly.
The Eastern King Yang Xiuqing was worthy of being the actual founder of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and he could see the true intentions of the Han army at a glance.
Indeed, with a peerless commander like Sun Wu, how could the Ming army have persisted until now if it weren't for the inconsistent internal coordination of the Han army.
"How could it be?"
Hong Xiuquan also looked in disbelief, but now he was facing a desperate situation, and this was the result he wanted to see.
After pondering for a while, Hong Xiuquan seemed to have figured out something and laughed excitedly: "Liu Yao, it must be Liu Yao. He didn't want to see Sun Jian become big, so he deliberately left a loophole and wanted to borrow the power of our army."
The hand weakened Sun Jian."
"Yes, among the four Han armies in the four directions, Liu Yao's army in the south contributed the least."
"In this case, the Han army is not united. Maybe we can cooperate with Liu Yao once to get rid of the current predicament."
Hong Xiuquan's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he finally said: "Send the order and the whole army will break out from the south towards Wu County."
"No!"
After Yang Xiuqing left, Hong Xiuquan couldn't help but mutter to himself: "I hope the speculation is true, but there is no other way now. Zhang Sheng, if I, Hong Xiuquan, don't die this time, your good days will be over." p>
Hong Xiuquan was already biased against Zhang Sheng and did not realize that he had been used by Fang La as a weapon against Zhang Sheng.

Jiangdong, South Camp of the Han Army.
"Report... to Zhou Mu, the bandits are out in full force and are coming to kill our army."
When Liu Yao heard this, he immediately felt happy and said to himself: This guy Hong Xiuquan is quite sensible, which saves Benzhou Mu a lot of tricks.
After scanning the generals present, Liu Yao raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said calmly: "Send the order, the Ming army is strong, and quickly ask for help from the three prefects. In addition, the entire army abandons the first line of defense and retreats to the second line of defense."<
/p>
"But, this is not..."
"But what, are you the state pastor or am I?"
"Uh...No."
Looking at the hurried generals, Liu Yao sneered in his heart.
Sun Jian, how dare you, a lowly warrior, ignore me, Liu Yao, aren't you brothers capable of fighting? Then go and slowly annihilate the Yellow Turban bandits yourself.
