At this time, Tanzhou City was also full of sadness and depression.

The top depressed ones were Wang Kui, Zhou Xingfeng, He Jingzhen and others. What they did not expect was that a bigger blow was still behind. The next day, they received an order that made them even more angry: to lead their soldiers to repair the damaged Tanzhou city wall and the Chu King's Mansion.

Zhou Xingfeng was so angry that he screamed, asking his sworn brothers Zhang Wenbiao, Pan Shusi and others to invite He Jingzhen, who was stationed outside the Zhuque Gate in the south, and broke into Wang Kui's camp and complained in a group.

As soon as he entered Wang Kui's camp, Zhou Xingfeng and He Jingzhen found that the people were full of people and the sound was noisy as a market.

Seeing Zhou and the two commanders He came in, Wang Kui shouted: "Shut up all!"

After saying that, Wang Kui walked straight towards the two of them, clasped his fists and said, "Let the two adults make a joke!"

Zhou Xingfeng strangely pointed at the people around him and asked what was going on?

Wang Kui smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said softly: "They were also urged by their soldiers to ask, and they all thought that the Battle of Tanzhou was won, so they should have rewards or something. But this time, there was really nothing!"

When he talked about this, Zhou Xingfeng immediately became angry and cursed: "No emperor is not short of hungry soldiers! He has built a country for him, and he doesn't even give him a penny. What's the matter!"

At the banquet last night, they all thought they could receive a sum of money, which was considered as an explanation to the soldiers. But at the end of the banquet, Ma Xichong came over with a glass of wine and explained with a smile that because the Langzhou treasury had been given to Lin Feng, the Tanzhou City treasury was stolen by Pan Long and others, so they wanted to ask their brothers to understand. The three of them were speechless at the time and had to return in disappointment.

Wang Kui frowned and immediately waved his hand to signal the subordinates in the tent to retreat for the time being. The crowd quickly withdrew, leaving only Wang Kui, Zhou Xingfeng and He Jingzhen.

"General Zhou, you have to control your anger. How bad is this saying that can be spread!" Wang Kui sighed.

"It's not good. When I just received the order early this morning, I wanted to see the King of Chu and talk about these things, but I was blocked by the disgusting Xie Yanyong, saying that the King of Chu had not yet woken up, and asked me to go tomorrow. His pretentious face made me want to draw my sword and chop this 'Dong Xian' at that time!" Zhou Xingfeng said angrily, pulled out the sword, and waved it twice in the air.

Dong Xian was the male favorite of Emperor Ai of the Western Han Dynasty. He was "soft in nature" and "beautiful in charming", and his words and deeds were like a beautiful woman, so he was favored by Emperor Ai. The two of them were riding in the same car and sleeping on the same bed. It is said that Emperor Ai woke up one morning and saw that Dong Xian was still asleep. Emperor Ai wanted to pull back his sleeves, but he couldn't bear to alarm Dong Xian. In his impatience, Emperor Ai actually pulled out his sword from the head of the bed, cut off his sleeves, and left quietly. Later generations called homosexuality "the habit of breaking sleeves", which was also due to this allusion.

Wang Kui rushed over and covered Zhou Xingfeng's mouth, not allowing him to continue talking.

Zhou Xingfeng swung hard, moved Wang Kui's hand away, and roared in a low voice: "I feel bad with such a master!"

The elderly He Jingzhen spoke at this time, and there was an indescribable desolation in his words: "Do you know? Lin Feng spent a lot of money in the city, claiming that as long as he persuaded a soldier in the former Tanzhou to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, he would be rewarded with two stagnant money! Lin Feng brought more than thirty subordinates, each of whom had rewarded 500 stags for his achievements in combat!"

He Jingzhen's military career has been around for nearly forty years and has a very deep connection. Naturally, someone revealed to him that Lin Feng was recruiting soldiers and making money.

Upon hearing this news, Zhou Xingfeng suddenly felt like he had lost his strength, sat on a few cases, muttering, "We fought several times, conquered Yiyang and captured Langzhou, but the result was not as good as these Tanzhou soldiers who had abandoned the city and fled. What kind of world is this!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Xingfeng's anger surged again, and he slashed the knife in his hand into several cases under him. He suddenly stood up and roared in a low voice: "Or, let's go back to Langzhou and find a descendant among the Ma brothers, and rebel against this bastard Ma brother!"

"Are you crazy?!" Wang Kui was really angry, staring at Zhou Xingfeng fiercely, pointing his halberd at him, and said angrily, "You are in your mind? Nonsense! You don't know that the Tang army will arrive soon. Isn't you going to die if you do this?!"

In previous history, it was precisely because of the insult in Tanzhou City that Wang Kui, Zhou Xingfeng and others led their troops to run away in anger, occupied Langzhou City, welcomed Ma Xizhen's son Ma Guanghui, and officially worshiped Ma Xi'e. Soon after, Wang Kui deposed Ma Guanghui and invited Chenzhou Governor Liu Yan to take charge of the government.

After that, Xu Qiong was too disappointed and learned from Wang Kui and others' actions. He secretly formed a secret cavalry commander Xu Wei and others to rebel, cut off Xie Yanyong, and immediately Ma Xichong became the master of Hunan and threw Ma Xie to Hengshan to cool down.

Peng Shixia, who was sent to guard Ma Xi'e, could no longer sit still, so he simply released Ma Xi'e with the commander Liao Yan of Hengshan and promoted him to become the King of Hengshan.

At this point, the farce of Chu State's "foots fighting for squads" officially entered its climax.

After that, Liu Yan sent troops to Changsha. Ma Xichong was frightened and killed several of Ma Xie's subordinates and sent them to Langzhou to ask for peace. However, he was rejected. Ma Xichong, who was attacked on both sides, had no choice but to submit to the Southern Tang Dynasty for help.

Li Jing immediately sent Bian Hao to Hunan and took most of Hunan into his pocket. After that, the Southern Han army raided Guizhou and captured all the northeastern Guangxi, which was basically empty and unguarded. The Southern Tang and Southern Han divided the Chu State, and the Chu State was officially destroyed.

However, now because Lin Feng was born and made a fuss, the original historical trajectory has been quietly changed. Now, no matter how many soldiers the Tang Dynasty can send, plus the existing defenders in Tanzhou City, and the original Tanzhou surrendered soldiers who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, they are not something that Wang Kui and the other three can only control less than three thousand infantry can resist.

"What do you think you should do?" Zhou Xingfeng sighed and collapsed into several cases.

After thinking about it, Wang Kui had no choice but to sigh and said bitterly: "Or, let's send someone to try to contact Lin Feng!"

Before Zhou Xingfeng could answer, He Jingzhen sighed and said first: "You can choose your future path! I am really old and it is time to go home to spend my old age. I will write a letter to resign from my military position tomorrow morning."

After saying that, He Jingzhen lifted the curtain and left alone! However, the background of his departure seemed very lonely, and his waist bent down unknowingly.

While the generals in the army gathered to complain, Lin Feng, who was still staying in Huang Zongwang's mansion, also welcomed several people who came to complain, and they were the rich men who had suffered in the Huang Mansion.

There is no doubt that these rich people have no deep backstage, and the suffering they complained is the same: Ma Xi'e and Ma Xichong sent troops to the door and asked everyone to contribute to the construction of Tanzhou City and the future of Chu. In short, it is just two words: get money!

Lin Feng asked curiously how much they had to pay, and the few people immediately shouted different numbers, the minimum amount was 10,000 guan and the maximum amount was 10,000 guan.

Finally, Li Ku'er, the largest tea merchant in the city, was depressed and sighed, "The officer who came to the door would need 150,000 guan as soon as he opened his mouth. I quickly stuffed fifty guans and immediately gave up to 100,000 guans, and asked that he must pay it before dusk tomorrow.

I can't figure it out! Ten thousand guans are given to Lord Lin, so that he can save his life, win the reputation of a good man, and cooperate to make money. However, the new King of Chu hasn't done anything yet, and he will kill people as soon as he comes!"

Li Ku'er's complaints immediately aroused the sympathy of several rich men and they all agreed.

Of course, Lin Feng would not mention that he urged Ma Xi'e to ask for money. He sighed with them with a sympathy and comforted them with a gentle voice.
