Ji Zhijiang stood up: "Are you true?"

"It's true. It was an officer under Yang Qiu and Yang Du Yuhou's command who told me personally. It's been several days since I arrived. It's just in Tongling Village, only a few miles away from us."

“How many of them have?”

"I heard that there are only a hundred people."

Ji Zhijiang circled around the room like a trapped beast, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "The General knew that Qianzhong was unreliable, so he asked me to come over. Unexpectedly, they had already hooked up."

"General, what should I do now?"

"What else have you found out?" Ji Zhijiang widened his eyes: "How far have they talked about?"

"The talk hasn't started yet. I heard that Yang Qiu seemed to be showing something to the other party, saying it was a way of putting pressure on the other party, and it seemed to be trying to force the other party to make concessions during negotiations. So in the past few days, he has been letting the other party watch military exercises and taking them to nearby villages."

Ji Zhijiang sighed to the sky: "He dragged the other party without talking, but was waiting for us to come and use us to put pressure on the other party! The damn Yang Qiu treats us as a tool."

"Since that's the case, it's better to part. It seems that Qianzhong won't be in the same position as us. If they don't leave and when they reach an agreement, we're afraid we will become a gift from Yang Qiu to each other."

Ji Zhijiang walked back to the table, sat down slowly, and after a while, he slowly shook his head: "Yang Bo, we can't leave. Think about it, what are we here for?"

"Qianzhou is unstable, and the court hopes that we will have a good talk with Qianzhou to prevent the Southern Alliance from falling apart." Yang Bo said: "But now, Qianzhou has clearly made up its mind to part ways with us. It is not sweet to twist the melons. Besides, the general, even if we want to twist it, we can't turn it back!"

"But I still want to twist it!" Ji Zhijiang's face was a little distorted.

"How to twist?" Yang Bo looked at Ji Zhijiang in shock: "Now the Northern Tang Dynasty has just destroyed Ding Sheng in western Hunan, and the army has reached the gate of Qianzhou, and its momentum is in full swing. But now we are at the most difficult time."

"Since it has reached the bottom, there is no way to retreat. If you take another step, it will be a disaster." Ji Zhijiang said coldly: "It has reached this point, how can you do not take a try? Does Qianzhou really want to surrender to the Northern Tang Dynasty? It's just because he is afraid of the other party's strength. If it's not reluctant, why are Yang Qiu doing so many troubles here? Isn't he just want to make more profits?"

"But after all, they are still ready to surrender?" Yang Bo said helplessly.

"I want them to fail to vote!" Ji Zhijiang laughed.

"General, what are you going to do?" Yang Bo, who knew Ji Zhijiang's appearance, was shocked, looking at his abnormal personality. This was what he wanted to do big things.

"You won't say it just now. Is the person who came to negotiate in the Northern Tang Dynasty Hou Fangyu?" Ji Zhijiang said: "This person is not simple. Not only is he an important general of the Third Corps of the Northern Tang Dynasty, but his background is amazing. Former Hebei Governor Hou Zhen was his son. The Hou family had a considerable political influence in the Northern Tang Dynasty."

"Yes, Shi Zhuang sent him here, probably because he was attracted by this point of Hou Fangyu." Yang Bo said.

"What if Hou Fangyu dies here?" Ji Zhijiang stood up, walked to the wall, took off the horizontal knife hanging on the wall, took down the armor on the shelf, placed it on the table, and looked at Yang Bo with bright eyes.

"Do you want to kill Hou Fangyu?" Yang Bo was shocked: "But this is Wan'an County, Yang Qiu's territory. His military camp is only a few miles away from the village where Hou Fangyu is located. If we kill Hou Fangyu, how could he let us go?"

"So what?" Ji Zhijiang picked up his helmet and put it on his head: "When Hou Fangyu is dead, can Yang Qiu let him resurrect him from the dead? So what if he kills me to vent his anger? They still cannot surrender to Northern Tang. Haha, when Hou Fangyu dies, Shi Zhuang will definitely be furious. If he doesn't kill Yang, how can he calm the generals under his command? If he does not destroy Qianzhong, how can he comfort Hou Zhen's white-haired man and send black-haired man to the pain of sending black-haired man?"

Yang Bo's breathing gradually became heavier.

"The more important Hou Fangyu's identity is, the more we will kill him." Ji Zhijiang said with a grin: "When Hou Fangyu dies, the Tang army generously refuses to pursue the investigation and allows Qianzhong to surrender. Do they still dare to surrender? Once they surrender, they will be killed by humans and I will be fishing. Will Hou Zhen not deal with them at that time? Will Hou Fangyu's relatives, friends and old subordinates come to seek revenge? What they dare not do is that they have no other possibility except to work together with us and work with the Northern Tang army to the end. This must be something Yang Qiu could have imagined. So Yang Bo, today we will use our death to exchange for Qianzhong not leaving the Southern Alliance. Are you afraid?"

"I am not afraid. I am willing to follow the general to go through fire and water!" Yang Bo said with a loud chest.

"Very good." Ji Zhijiang patted the other party's shoulder: "We may not die. If we really kill Hou Fangyu, the wood has already come to a boat. Yang Qiu will not do anything to us! He can't have a feud with both sides at the same time!"

"But general, we have soldiers from Qianzhou guarding us outside. Once we move, they will definitely report the news. By then, we have not yet been killed. Yang Qiu rushed to stop him, and everything will be delayed." Yang Bo said.

"Do I have to teach you this? When we set out at the third update, we will first tie up the Qianzhou soldiers outside. We should not ride horses, as the sound of horse hooves can easily alarm people. Everyone walks in the dark, just a few miles away. At that time, we will enter the Northern Tang Army garrison in one fell swoop and kill all of them." Ji Zhijiang said.

"I understand!" Yang Bo nodded: "I'll make arrangements until now."

In Tongling Village, although one hundred Northern Tang soldiers were fully armed, they were all lying in their clothes, holding the knife and snoring like thunder. Outside the yard, Hou Fangyu sat on a millstone, temporarily acting as a warning and holding a pot of wine beside him, holding a piece of wiping his knife carefully, while lifting the pot from time to time to take a sip.

"General Hou, do you really want to move?" Jin Yunzhi leaned against the millstone, his face full of anxiety. "I'll go too. Although I can't fight, I can still swing a knife, multiple people, and multiple efforts!"

Hou Fangyu laughed and said, "Jin Yuanwailang, you'd better forget it! If you really go to Luo, I have to send someone to protect you, which will weaken our combat power. Besides, you are the one who made great contributions in western Hunan. Your Majesty knows your name. As a result, you died here before you even took office in the Ministry of Rites. What's going on? I can't explain it."

Jin Yunzhi looked at Hou Fangyu and smiled bitterly, trying to say something, but he didn't say it.

"Are you afraid that we won't win, and you will die in the end?" Hou Fangyu saw through his thoughts at a glance.

Jin Yunzhi didn't hide it, "I do have this idea. Ji Zhijiang, who came from the other party, is also a powerful general in Lingnan!"

"I'm an old man!" Hou Fangyu said disdainfully: "In this battle, I will take the head of this person. In the battle of Xiangtan and Zhuzhou, more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Right Qianniu Guard of the Tang Dynasty were killed, and Ji Zhijiang was among them. There were many people there who were my past colleagues and subordinates. Liu Yuan and me had a very good relationship. The last time I went back to Chang'an, I saw Ge Cai, how thin were they? Poor Liu Yuan didn't even meet the baby he was about to be born. I will get this blood debt back today. Jin Yuanwailang, sit in the house, drink a little wine, and wait to celebrate my merit!"

Jin Yunzhi said no more and bowed, "Then I will wait for the good news for the general. But the general will take a break, I will hold a watch for everyone."

"It's okay." Hou Fangyu waved his hand and said, "I'm used to it. Before the war, our Tang army was the commander who kept watch and soldiers rested and raised their spirits."

In the Qianzhou Army camp, Yang Qiu's central army tent was still brightly lit. Although Yang Qiu was wearing casual clothes, the number of generals sitting under the tent was full of helmets and armor.

"Du Yuhou, are you sure Ji Zhijiang will definitely attack Hou Fangyu?" A member of the unit said with some suspicion.

"The dog is desperate. What else can Ji Zhijiang talk to us except this move?" Yang Qiu laughed and said, "When he wants to kill Hou Fangyu, isn't it just forcing us to join forces with them?"

"Since that's the case, why don't we just send troops to protect Hou Fangyu and take such a risk. If Ji Zhijiang makes a fake come true, wouldn't it be a big deal?" Another general frowned.

Yang Qiu sighed and said, "The Tang people are too powerful. If they don't suppress them, how can we get the initiative at the negotiating table? You also know that Li Ze is too domineering and does not leave room for us. Anyone who surrenders to him will have a few who can still retain their original power in the end. If we want to set this precedent, we must think of more ways. Let Ji Zhijiang go and scare the Hou Fangyu. Don't he have more than a hundred people? If he doesn't help, he can support his son for a while. We can start from the camp and at most half a stick of incense, we can reach Tongling Village and rescue Hou Fangyu from the knife. When the negotiations are negotiated, we will be more confident."

Although Yang Qiu said it well, the generals in the tent were all uncommon. Hou Fangyu was not a real person to take charge, so what if he got angry? Du Yu Hou was more like he was venting his anger.

This is a bit of a joke.

As soon as the curtain of the big tent was lifted, an officer walked in, his face full of shock and confusion: "Report to Du Yuhou, Hou Fangyu took his hundred guards and left Tongling Village with his full armed forces and went straight to Jinling Village."

"What did you say?" Yang Qiu seemed to be unable to believe his ears: "Where has he gone?"

"He went to Jinling Village. It seemed that he was preparing to attack the Guangzhou delegation!" said the officer.

The generals in the room stood up, just like Yang Qiu, and their faces were filled with disbelief. One hundred people dared to attack Ji Zhijiang.

"This Hou Fangyu is too arrogant." A general said.

Before Yang Qiu could speak, another officer trotted in: "Returning to Du Yuhou, Ji Zhijiang led his troops out of Jinling Village and headed straight to Tongling Village."

Yang Qiu was stunned for a while and laughed out loud.

"Hahahahaha, this is really interesting. They actually thought of it together. Maybe we'll have a good look at this scene. If Hou Fangyu really dies, we will also have an explanation with Tang Ren. This is his own trouble."
