"Why, does Yang Duzhi think that the Nu family is exaggerating? I almost forgot that Captain Zhang was kind to Yang Duzhi, but it was the Nu family that was presumptuous."

This woman has spoken with a gun and a stick many times. Yang Yizhong is a bit stupid to begin with. Apart from being silent, he only kills people and has no other skills.

Liu Bang couldn't stand it anymore and drank:

"Shut up! If you make any more noise, I'll send you to the West Lake!"

I still remember what he said about taking off his clothes. Although this kind of girl was not angry, she just said "hum", but she really didn't say anything more.

It’s just unclear how the emperor cursed in his heart.

"Tell me, Yang Aiqing, tell me everything you know so that I can help Zhang Jun settle the lawsuit."

Yang Yizhong bowed and said yes, then looked at the girl and said:

"My dear lady, certain achievements and fame come from the official family. It is true that Captain Zhang was kind to certain people. But in my heart, I will never forget that I am a member of the Zhong Family Army.

”

After hearing this, although the girl was still disdainful, her expression no longer had the energy to deal with it.

"In the first year of Jingkang, Lieutenant Zhang was already forty years old, and the young general was under his command. The young general also participated in the battle where General Zhong saved Taiyuan."

"Most of this is true as what the young lady said. Lieutenant Zhang was indeed favored by the Yao family and indeed sent wrong information to the Privy Council."

I thought he wanted to excuse Zhang Jun, but unexpectedly, he actually admitted it directly.

In this way, even if Zhang Jun wanted to quibble, he would have no choice.

Yang Yizhong didn't notice the changes between the two of them, as if he was stuck in memories, he said to himself:

"When General Zhong arrived in Yuci, all the brothers in the army were exhausted. We fought a total of five battles along the way. Except for two battles where each had a victory or defeat, the other three battles were all defeated.

."

"But first a scout came to report that the Jin people had gathered a large number of troops and were heading towards us, and then there was news from General Huang that we had cut off contact with Zhending's brothers."

"What the old general was most worried about was that the lone army had penetrated this far. Moreover, it was raining heavily at that time. The brothers were hungry, tired, and cold. They really had no desire to move forward... Even at that time

, Taiyuan City is right in front of you."

"If this continues, let alone taking Taiyuan, everyone's lives will be put on hold here. The whole army is trying to persuade the old general to take charge of the army. Although Taiwei Zhang has inherited the favor of the Yao family, he has been in the Zhong family army for many years.

, I have already regarded myself as a general of the Zhong family."

Hearing this, the girl from the Zhong family was about to speak, but the emperor glared at her and swallowed her words back.

"After repeated persuasion, Captain Zhang saw that the old general refused to withdraw his troops, so he entrusted Yao Gu with all the arrangements."

Hmm?

Not to mention the girl from the Zhong family, even Liu Bang became more and more curious:

"Zhang Jun said that? Why didn't you withdraw your troops even after you said it?"

Sighing slightly, Yang Yizhong said:

"If Lieutenant Zhang hadn't said anything, General Zhong might have withdrawn his troops out of concern for the lives of all the soldiers in the army."

"But when he said... the old general just looked in the direction of Taiyuan for a long time, and then said to the brothers: 'The order we received this time is to relieve the danger of Taiyuan, but now the power is not with me, except for planting.

The sons of the family are staying outside, and if you should retreat, then retreat.'"

"When the old general said this, he already had the intention to die for his country, but no one was willing to leave. Even Captain Zhang, everyone was ready to fight to the death."

"So, the old general asked us:

‘The Privy Council is far away in Bianjing, but they don’t know that soldiers are unpredictable and water is unpredictable.’

‘The Yao family has been favored by the emperor for a long time, but they don’t know the importance of it, and they strive for merit and flattery.’

'If I don't retreat this time, the people of Taiyuan will still fight hard and not surrender, and the armies of the Song Dynasty will know where our responsibilities are... If I retreat, how will the Zhong family face the people of Taiyuan, and how will they face the officials of the Song Dynasty?

'

'This battle must be lost, and if you lose, you will be defeated. There is no ever-victorious general in the world. Even if you lose, you will only die.'

"Since Duke Zhongping, the children of the Zhong family have been ready to be shrouded in horse leather, but you are different. You have not yet repaid the kindness of your parents in raising you, so you cannot die in vain here.""

"Since the seventh year since the declaration of peace, the people of Taiyuan have been surrounded by the Jin army and persisted for more than a year. The people in the city heard that General Zhong was personally leading the army, and they were ready to cooperate inside and outside."

"The old general knows that although Yao Gu is greedy for credit, he will definitely not neglect the rescue of Taiyuan. If the Zhong family army retreats at that time, I am afraid that Taiyuan City will not be able to hold on until the other two armies arrive."<

/p>

"So..." Yang Yizhong seemed to be about to cry, "The old general forced us to withdraw, and he took more than a hundred of his disciples to fight the Jin people until the last moment."

Everyone knew what happened next, and Yang Yizhong also stopped talking.

At that time, he was only in his early twenties, and both his grandfather and father died at the hands of the Jin.

If Zhang Jun hadn't forced him to do so, he might have died that day.

The girl from the Zhong family paused for a long time, then said with red eyes:

"Lieutenant Zhang is really lucky to have such a good subordinate as Yang Duzhi! At this juncture, I still want to excuse him!"

Yang Yizhong was choked for a long time before he regained his breath:

"My dear lady, every sentence is true. If you swear an oath in front of an official, if even one word is false, you will die under the hooves of horses..."

"The old general was determined to die. After Captain Zhang led us to break out of the encirclement, we heard the news that the general was defeated and died."

"General Huang You of the forward army waited patiently for me. He never broke out. After being captured, he preferred to die rather than surrender. He had Golden Dog and Ni covered with wax, hung upside down on a tree, and burned alive..."

"When all kinds of news came, the government and the public were shocked. What the old general did not expect was that Yao Gu was such a mediocre man that he could not defeat even half of the Jin army. Taiyuan City was finally destroyed."

"In the end, Lieutenant Zhang reported the false news to Yao Gu that the entire Jin army was attacking the border. In this way, he defeated Longde, won two cities, and destroyed the Yao family army."

"This is Zhang Taiwei's last effort to be ashamed of the Zhong family army."

It was rare to hear Yang Yizhong say so many words, but it also solved a lot of doubts for Liu Bang.

However, the designation of each army in the Song Dynasty belongs to private individuals...

If the dispute between Yao Jiajun and Zhong Jiajun didn't have this name, it probably wouldn't have happened.

The origin of the person who assassinated Zhang Jun was figured out, and Liu Bang told Yang Yizhong about Sibei Tower.

Xin Ciying seemed to have a lot to say, but at this time, Liu Bang didn't want to hear it.
