Anzhou!
Xu Shanbao was completely panicked at this moment. He knew very well how powerful the enemy army was.
I didn't expect that the Eunuch Lu sent by the imperial court this time would be so strong, which I really didn't expect.
He... was scared and gave in.
Because he would be the next one to be hit. If he had known this, he would have sent troops to assist in time.
Ningzhou can still react to this matter, unlike Taizhou, where the achievement has been broken in one day, which is unprecedented.
No matter how powerful a person is, they would never imagine that such a thing would happen.
"No! If you find Zhou Zhengtian, you must explain the situation to him!"
At this time, Liyue City.
Zhou Zhengtian also quickly received the news that Ningzhou had actually been breached. However, Li Jing was actually still alive and fled Ningzhou with many of his men.
I heard that he had already gone to seek refuge with Marquis Wenxin.
"Huh! This news is indeed true. Although it is not the imperial court that I have taken refuge with, I have taken refuge with Marquis Wenxin."
"Coward."
However, Zhou Zhengtian also realized at this moment that if he didn't think of a way, the imperial army would attack his Liyue City.
By then, he would be more or less on his own. The army under his command now only has 50,000 people, which is considered relatively powerful.
Compared with the army at the imperial court, these 50,000 people are really not enough, not to mention that the imperial court also has very powerful weapons.
This put Zhou Zhengtian in a difficult position.
what to do?
Just at this moment, Xu Shanbao actually sent someone over to ask for cooperation.
"General Zhou, our master said that the situation is now dangerous, and only two of the four southeastern provinces are left."
"We must try our best to unite together to resist the imperial soldiers and horses, otherwise we will be defeated one by one. We can no longer be like this, just like scattered soldiers."
"General, what do you think?"
Zhou Zhengtian was stunned for a moment and snorted coldly, "Everyone knows that your general wants to kill me, but this time he actually begs me to give him reinforcements. How is that possible!"
"General, our master has no such intention, and he will never assassinate you."
"Besides, our adults were assassinated some time ago."
"Really?" Zhou Zhengtian was stunned for a moment, quite confused, how could Xu Shanbao be assassinated?
He frowned and thought for a long time before saying this.
"If you want to ask this general to help him, you can ask him to lead his army directly here and bring him food and grass!"
"Our Liyue City has a superior position and is blocked by natural obstacles. It is easier to fight a counterattack."
"As for his Anzhou, why not give up temporarily, wait until the imperial army comes, and annihilate the imperial army in one fell swoop? Wouldn't this be done once and for all? Otherwise it will just increase casualties!"
"Go back and tell your general that he needs to be my deputy general, otherwise, I will never agree."
…
Soon, Xu Shanbao received the news. He was now more and more frightened, knowing that the imperial army was only a hundred miles away.
Seeing that it was getting closer and closer, the troops he had now could not defeat the imperial army at all. Instead, they fought more and more bravely.
Now that they are on top of their momentum, they simply don't dare to attack rashly.
"Come on, Zhou Zhengtian, you bastard, what are you thinking about?"
"Am I not an ally? Why do you want to put me to death?"
At this moment, the officer who had been sent to disappear came back and quickly handed Zhou Zhengtian's words intact to Xu Shanbao.
After Xu Shanbao learned about this, he was stunned for a long time.
He never expected that Zhou Zhengtian would want the military power under his command to assimilate him into his!
Then what will he be in the future? What real power will he have in his hands in the future?
But... if you don't agree, then you are very likely to die.
So he must also think about this matter.
After deliberation for a long time, Xu Shanbao finally agreed. At present, this is the safest move.
He didn't want to cause any more casualties here.
It would be better for the two armies to join together and wait until they defeat the imperial army before finding another solution.
What else can be done?
You can't just carry a big sword and fight against the imperial army. That will only make your death worse.
"Tell me to go down and gather the troops, horses and food. We will set off immediately to Liyue City!"
"Damn it, Zhou Zhengtian, just wait for me. As long as I repel the imperial army, I will leave with my people immediately!
Do you think you can annex my army just now? Don’t even think about it! "
Xu Shanbao naturally trusted the soldiers under his command. He felt that no matter which general they were, they would choose to follow him.
So it's just a temporary merger, so there's nothing to worry about.
In this way, the entire Anzhou people were empty, and the army had all disappeared and left Liyue City. Only a few common people were left in the city.
However, these common people were basically looted.
Xu Shanbao knew very clearly that war requires food and money. Only in this way can the normal operation of the army be maintained.
Then I have no money in my hands now, so I can only take money and food from the hands of these people.
Soon, Lu Yun also received the news, and he was shocked when he learned about it.
"Good guy, run away without a fight, these people are really cowards."
"However, I don't believe that your two armies can really be safe and sound together without being suspicious of each other."
Lu Yun had released smoke bombs for the two of them before. If he guessed correctly, according to Zhou Zhengtian's character, something will definitely happen when the time comes.
Anyway, he just doesn't trust Xu Shanbao and the soldiers under him.
"Sir, Anzhou is within easy reach. Now the four southeastern provinces are only left with the struggling support of Liyue City. What should we do?"
Shangguan Yan stepped forward and asked.
"It doesn't matter, they can't support it for long."
"It's just that all the successful people have been looted. When my army passes through Anzhou, it must be comforted."
"Otherwise the people in the city will become very miserable."
"Yeah, these people are really nothing!"
Lu Yun nodded, "The army now has a lot of food, so let's distribute some to the people in the city. In this era, as long as they don't starve to death, that's all."
"We will avenge them."
"Yes, father-in-law."
Indeed, no matter when a war occurs, it will have a lot of impact on ordinary people.
The most minor possibility is that the money at home has been robbed, or the food at home has been taken away, and some people are starving!
Seriously, it means displacement, family destruction and death.
"By the way, let the femme fatale give Zhou Zhengtian some good advice and make him suspicious."
