Chapter 1 Family and Country (V)

He believed in Zheng Ziming's character and would definitely not attack. He also missed the scene of Zheng Ziming following him in Lijiazhai the summer of the past year. He asked about military tactics and marksmanship like his own brother. However, two years ago, the two brothers were military officers of Liu Han Kingdom, and they had many other origins through the Chang family in Taiyuan. Now, Zheng Ziming is the confidant general of the rebel Guo Wei, while Yang Chonggui is the commander of the front army of the Han Emperor Liu Chong, and was given the surname Liu, and the glory and wealth are the same as the country.

Therefore, no matter how much the two of them appreciate each other in the past, from today on, they must be ruthless. Guo Wei has already established himself as the Emperor of the Great Zhou, and Liu Chong vows to restore the Liu Han Empire. As the beloved generals under their respective kings, the two brothers seem to have no choice but to fight to the death.

"Brother Yang's words are reasonable, but I dare not forget that when someone was chased like a stray dog ​​in the past, you will be able to leap to save him!" Hearing the obvious determination in Yang Chonggui's words, Zheng Ziming was unwilling to cut off his mat and break off his friendship with the other party. He smiled and continued to bow his hands and said, "As for today's battle, Brother Yang doesn't have to make things difficult. I will retreat thirty miles by myself."

After saying that, Yang Chonggui didn't wait for Yang Zhonggui to respond. He immediately turned his head and waved his arms at the Cangzhou army behind him, "Zhongxun, withdraw your troops, take your brothers and wait for me thirty miles away!"

"This..." Pan Mei-zheng was fully focused on preparing to fight the enemy's desperate battle. When she heard Zheng Ziming's words, she was shocked and instinctively wanted to refute.

Tao Sanchun, who was dressed in men, snatched the order flag from his arms and raised it high above his head. "Retreat the troops, General Zheng has an order, and the personal troops are left to cut off the rear, and the other battalions retreat in order."

"Retreat the troops, the rear team will become the front army, and retreat to thirty miles away!" Pan Mei was stunned for a moment, her eyes lit up suddenly, she took the order flag from Tao Sanchun and struggled to recover again.

"Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu..." The sound of the painting suddenly sounded, with a strong unwillingness. The Cangzhou Army, who had just set up a formation, turned decisively. The back team turned into the front team, and the front team turned into the back team, leaving in a row.

In a blink of an eye, only Tao Sanchun, Pan Mei and more than a hundred trusted guards were left behind Zheng Ziming. Compared with the six thousand elites behind Yang Chonggui, they were simply a group of ants blocking the mountain torrent. As long as Yang Chonggui waved his hand casually, the torrent of war horses behind him could rush them to pieces. However, Yang Chonggui's arm was unable to fall back for a while. After hesitating for a while, he sighed and shook his head and said, "Zi Ming, why do you have to do this? I really have to fight on the battlefield, and I have no confidence in winning today!"

"Brother Yang is too humble! My army is less than 30% of yours, and I have just experienced a bloody battle. I will never be the enemy of the group of new forces under your command." Zheng Ziming did not feel any embarrassment at all. He smiled and said very frankly, "Besides, even if you and I belong to the two countries, we can still continue to be brothers. The brotherhood has not yet ended, so why should I fight to the death with Brother Yang?"

"This..." Yang Chonggui was not good at speaking with his words. When Zheng Ziming said earnestly, he was stunned again. He could not say the heartless words.

"My father-in-law Huyan is also a friend of brother Yang's life and death. Now he and I are divided into two countries, but they may not necessarily have to break off their family affection." Zheng Ziming's words continued to come, like devil's music, constantly seducing Yang Chonggui's mind. "He did not order me to send Huyan back to Dingzhou, and Zheng did not intend to never interact with him. Moreover, as far as Zheng knows, there are people in the Yang family in Linzhou now serving as officials in Bianliang, and His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou treat him very well."

"This..." Yang Chonggui was spoken for the third time and his handsome face instantly filled with dark red smoke.

In the past, betting on both sides is a typical means of survival for the aristocratic families. A few months ago, the news that Guo Wei conquered Bianliang and changed the name of the country to Zhou reached the Yang family. The Yang family immediately sent Yang Chongxun, the leader of another clan, to Bianliang for advice.

In order to win over the Yang family, Guo Wei valued Yang Chongxun very much and directly appointed him as the commander of the Left Army of the Saint Protective, and was on par with Zhao Kuangyin's father, the veteran general Zhao Hongyinping, who once made great contributions to Guo Wei.

If we are divided into two countries, we have to cut off our robes and righteousness. Then Yang Chonggui should be the first to draw a clear line with his younger brother Yang Chongxun, and even impeached his biological father to stolen the country and surrender to the enemy. We should never be like this now. While shouting loudly in front of Zheng Ziming that we should not abandon the public because of personal gain, we also communicated with his younger brother Yang Chongxun.

"Dingzhou and Shenzhou are close. The gentry and people in the state also have many connections with our Cangzhou army. However, when the Khitans retreated north, Zheng did not take the opportunity to lead troops to Dingzhou." As if he felt the embarrassment in Yang Chonggui's heart, Zheng Ziming smiled again and added loudly. "Why? It's because he was thinking of his old love in his heart that he didn't want to make things difficult for his wife, nor did he want to meet his father-in-law? Now that Zhang Yuanheng has been killed at my doorstep, Zheng has no choice but to lead the troops to meet him. He drove him away and calculated his duties and would never follow him and chase him again, burning the war to the bottom of Taihang Mountain."

"My brother Gao Yi, I thanked General Hu Yan for General Hu Yan!" Yang Chonggui bowed to thank him in a dizzy manner, his heart was mixed. "Ah..."

Leading troops to attack Hebei made it difficult for Guo’s family to take care of both. It was an important task given to him by Emperor Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty, Zhang Yuanheng and Hu Yancong. However, in addition to Zhang Yuanheng, he and Hu Yancong had a deep friendship with Zheng Ziming. Therefore, from the day of sending troops, he and Hu Yancong were unable to be energetic from the bottom of their hearts.

If Zheng Ziming was an ungrateful villain, he would not have to say anything nonsense when they met and would just greet the other party. However, Zheng Ziming showed mercy to Dingzhou first and took the initiative to retreat later. If he insisted on fighting life and death with the other party today, even if he got what he wanted, he would definitely become the laughing stock of heroes all over the world in the future.

"Oh..." There was a sigh, and it came through the forest of spear throwing guns, piercing Yang Chonggui's heart like an invisible dagger. "Brother Yang, the rescue of the past was a slaughter for you, but for me, it was related to life and death. Therefore, Zheng was willing to imitate the ancients and repay them with a place of three abandons. Even if you chase them, Zheng would never return them with one arrow within ninety miles!" (Note 1)

"Don't, Brother Zheng, you don't have to..." Yang Chonggui's heart twitched, raised his hand, trying to stop him from the air. Zheng Ziming smiled and shook his head, turned his mount, and slowly left. The cloak full of sweat stains was pressed against his back, as smooth and straight as a knife cut.

"Oh..." It was not until Zheng Ziming's back completely disappeared from his sight that Yang Chonggui's hand slowly landed beside him. He had countless opportunities to stop the place, and he had countless opportunities to lock in the victory of the Hebei battlefield in one fell swoop. However, if he really did that...

"Brother, why are you still here?" Just as he was riding a horse listlessly to meet his own troops, Zhe Saihua came in lightning and asked in surprise from a distance.

Knowing that Zheng Ziming was very skilled in martial arts but had many tricks, she was afraid that her husband would suffer losses, so after hearing the report of the defeated soldiers, she hurried over to help the battle. However, she never expected that the expected evil fight was not born at all. Zheng Ziming had been no longer on the battlefield, and her husband seemed to have nothing to gain.

"Oh, Ziming, Ziming..." Yang Chonggui sighed heavily and explained to Zhe Saihua what he had just had. Suddenly, he saw his wife's forehead wet with sweat and the cloak floating behind her, and his body shook, pressing the hilt of the knife with his hand, and furious, "Damn it! I've been fooled by that little thief! He, he deserves to die!"
