Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

"Master Xu, we will see you off." Liang An chased after him.

Xu Junfan was surprised, but he couldn't refuse.

The two of them walked slowly outside the palace. Along the way, Liang An would also ask some questions about Pingzhou.

At the last corner, a young eunuch walked too fast and bumped into Xu Junfan. The things in his hands were knocked to the ground.

"Bold!" Liang An shouted.

The little eunuch quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Master Manager, please have mercy on me."

"Eunuch Liang, what is this?" Xu Junfan picked up the book at his feet. The inner pages of the book were exposed. The words inside were all red, which was shocking to see.

Liang An paused and said, "This is the Ksitigarbha Sutra."

"Isn't this kind of scripture a bit scary?"

"Zhang Xianxian presented it. It is said that it was written with his hard work." Liang An told him that the Ksitigarbha Sutra was used to eliminate disasters and increase blessings. His feelings for the emperor were sincere, but the emperor just didn't see him.

"Poor, why bother?"

Xu Junfan said sternly, "Eunuch Liang, you must not be soft-hearted. Keep this scripture as long as you accept it. Don't present it to the emperor, which will only cause trouble to the emperor."

"Furthermore, if the emperor becomes soft-hearted and asks Zhang Xian to accompany him..."

"After all, Zhang Xian has an old relationship with Lu Desheng. The Lu family is now a rebel. You can't be too careful."

Liang An:......

Good guy, you have finished talking, what else can we say?

"Eunuch Liang, I return this scripture to you. It's getting late and Xu has left the palace." Xu Junfan threw the scripture to Liang An like a hot potato.

Liang An took the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" copied by Zhang Xian and returned to his hometown.

"...Your Majesty, Mr. Xu is really afraid of having anything to do with Zhang Xian."

After listening to Liang An's words, Song Mo couldn't tell whether it was disappointment or something else, but the fact that Xu Junfan firmly chose to return to the court still made him feel very happy.

Outside the palace, Xu Junfan relaxed after boarding his broken carriage.

During the period after Zuo Yi's death, Pingzhou arranged for people to take him to visit many places. In some places, he was not allowed to enter and was only allowed to wander around the outside.

Externally, it was announced that he was ill.

The freedom of those he brought was restricted.

They told him to look, and he looked.Anyway, that's all.After going around these places, he really saw something.The people in Pingzhou are so energetic. They do very heavy work. They are all very optimistic, as if they are tireless, and they seem to be full of expectations and yearning for the future.

Lu Songli met him later and had a conversation with him for half an hour.

Xu Junfan knew very well that killing Zuo Yi was equivalent to having half a foot on the boat.

If he insists on being loyal to the imperial court, there are only two ways to go, either die, or Pingzhou will always hold this as a handle.

Although the latter could allow him to survive, he would never feel comfortable being manipulated.

Faced with Pingzhou's solicitation, he just obeyed.

Good birds choose trees to roost in, right?And he can't beat them, so just join.

Lingnan

Dong Guo, the Zhenxi Army, came to Lingnan with [-] troops. After a brief rest and a good meal for all the soldiers, they were ready to fight.

Before the battle began, Dong Guowei asked people to beat drums, and then gave a recruitment speech to the generals and the common people.

They did this just to see if they could instigate some soldiers and civilians to rebel.

These people were also the common people of Dali. Dong Guo was sure that they must have aspirations for the Dali court.

No matter how bad it is, it would be good to add some trouble to Xie Zhan.

During this period, the imperial army made other moves.

"General, our eagle has been released."

"it is good."

The imperial court had its own eagles. When the two sides were at war, Dong Guowei had people release the eagles so that they could patrol and conduct reconnaissance to detect the enemy's weak points.

In Lingnan City, this was Lingnan's first battle against the imperial army, and Xie Zhan was also paying attention.

At this time, a loud scream came from the sky.

Xie Zhan raised his head and squinted at the sky, "Is that an eagle?"

"Yes, sir. They should be the eagles of the imperial court. General Dong has two of them."

"Can you shoot it down?"

The subordinate shook his head, "The eagle flies too high, even a sharp archer can't kill it."

The imperial army's plan was very good, but it soon became unstoppable.

After learning that the imperial court had come up with such a move, Xie Zhan wanted to have someone shoot the soldier who was reciting the manuscript with a loud voice. After learning that the archers on their side could not do it because the distance between the two sides was too far, Xie Zhan wanted to kill the soldier directly. Zhan decisively asked the people on their side to beat the drums to disturb the other party's voice.

Xie Zhan had fought many times with the Lu family and his daughter, and he understood very well that words are very powerful. If he allowed Dong Guowei to do this, it would have a huge impact on the morale of their Lingnan soldiers.

The traitors' response made Dong Guowei realize that his wishful thinking had been seen through.

In this case, let's start the fight directly.

Next, Dong Guowei waved the main flag.

The bugles were blaring, the war drums were roaring, and the soldiers' charging sounds resounded throughout the world.

Dong Guowei stood high and watched his soldiers working hard to conquer the city.

He felt that with the same army of [-], it would be easier to attack Xie Zhan than Sun Ming to attack Pingzhou.

Pingzhou has mature generals like the Qin brothers, but what does the south have?

The Southern Conquest Army originally had three major generals, the Sun Clan, the Shen Clan, and the Liu Clan.First, the court summoned Sun Minglian and the Sun family army to be transferred to Yanmen.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Zhan rebelled, the Zhengnan Army mutinied, and the Shen clique was destroyed. Now the Zhengnan Army only has the generals of the Liu clique and some generals supported by Xie Zhan.

The first confrontation did not last long, and the imperial court retreated its troops, with little casualties on both sides.

The leaders of both sides are veterans of the battlefield, so this result is not surprising.

In the first battle, the opponent was just testing.

In the second and third battles, both sides got serious.

Both sides continued to increase their troops.

Xie Zhan is also paying attention to the progress of the entire battle.

Seeing that due to the suppression of troops, the Lingnan City Gate was gradually lost.

Xie Zhan frowned, "Why hasn't there been any movement from Prince Cheng?"

Jiang Boya said, "It should be soon."

Outside the city, a scout from the imperial court reported to Dong Guowei, "General Dong, there is something strange happening in the southwest."

"What's going on?" Dong Guowei frowned, southwest?Could it be King Cheng?

"The remaining soldiers listened to the order, set up their formations, and prepared to meet the enemy!"

At this moment, a surprise force was deployed from the southwest and attacked the imperial army.

Fortunately, Dong Guowei was used to keeping his hands open when fighting, otherwise he would really be caught off guard.

But in this way, not only did the troops he planned to invest be restrained by King Cheng's army, he even had to ask people to come back for reinforcements.

Dong Guowei glanced at the Lingnan City gate that was about to be breached, and sighed, King Cheng actually helped Xie Zhan, what's the matter!
