Shortly after everyone entered the city, the food was placed on the table when the guards at the top of the city came to report, saying that Zhang Dingbian and Zou Pusheng had led more than 100 people back.

Chen Li quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand and went outside to greet Zhang Dingbian.

Zhang Dingbian and a group of personal guards were all injured, their armor was covered with blood, and their weapons were broken. Without thinking too much, they knew that they had gone through many tragic battles.

Zhang Bixian rushed over and hugged Zhang Dingbian, and cried and said, "Second brother, I want my brothers to kowtow and join the charity, and share life and death. Now my elder brother's soul is beyond heaven. I only hate my elder brother that Zhang Bixian cannot protect my elder brother. I hate myself, my second brother."

Zhang Dingbian also burst into tears and said choking, "Don't blame yourself for yourself, I'm blamed me if I can't protect my elder brother. My elder brother has a hero for life, but he hates him to die under a small feather arrow. This makes Brother Yu have no face to see his elder brother in the dark world."

Zhang Bixian suddenly threw away Zhang Dingbian, rushed outside, and said angrily: "Second brother, wait a moment, I will kill Li Wenzhong first to sacrifice to the elder brother's spirit in heaven."

Zhang Dingbian hurriedly grabbed Zhang Bixian and said, "Third brother, don't be impulsive. Although Li Wenzhong is hateful, it is of great use to keep him. It's not too late to kill him after using him."

Zhang Bi first broke away from Zhang Dingbian's hand, opened his eyes wide, and shouted: "Kill this guy first, and let Zhu Chongba feel uncomfortable for a while."

Zhang Dingbian grabbed Zhang Bixian and said, "Second brother, don't be in a hurry. Killing him is not easy, but you must first obtain the consent of someone."

Zhang Bixian shouted angrily: "Can we let others decide what we do?"

Zhang Dingbian said: "Of course not, but you have to say something to the King of Han."

"King of Han?" Zhang Bixian suddenly grabbed Zhang Dingbian's shoulder and said coldly: "Are you sure he is the eldest brother's son Chen Li?"

Zhang Dingbian said seriously: "How can the third brother say that? Who is he not?"

Zhang Bixian pushed Zhang Dingbian away with force, took a few steps back, looked at Zhang Dingbian and said, "I don't believe it, how could Chen Li become like that."

Zhang Dingbian smiled bitterly and said, "Do you like the original Chen Li?"

Zhang Bixian was stunned and said, "I... Although Chen Li is... but he is the eldest brother's descendant, this person..."

Zhang Dingbian's face darkened and he said sternly: "How can the third brother say such words? Although Chen Li had limited qualifications in the past, he received guidance from experts. Now he is wise and martial arts, and has great martial arts. Don't you want him to do this?"

Zhang Bixian waved his hand and said, "What's the matter with the second brother? Of course, I hope Chen Li is both civil and military, and is more wise than any lord, but I really can't accept him like this. Is he still Chen Li?"

Zhang Dingbian pressed his hands on Zhang Bixian's shoulder and said, "Third brother, don't you hear that once you achieve enlightenment, you will be the best in the world? Now the King of Han has been enlightened by the immortal way, and has been reborn in Nirvana and is about to soar to the sky. From now on, you must not talk nonsense."

After he said that, he walked towards Chen Li.

Zhang Bixian stared at Zhang Dingbian, not knowing what to do. He really didn't understand why Zhang Dingbian, who had always been fierce, became so ridiculous, and how could he believe those messy rumors?

Chen Li saw Zhang Dingbian coming, hurriedly greeted him, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, and my nephew is worried about my second uncle's safety. Seeing my second uncle return safely, my nephew's heart finally fell into his stomach."

Zhang Dingbian bowed to Chen Li and said, "I have been entrusted by the King of Han and failed to stop Chang Yuchun's pursuit. The five thousand brothers also died in Bronze Mountain. Please punish the King of Han."

Chen Li grabbed Zhang Dingbian's hand and said, "What's the matter with the second uncle? If you hadn't fought in the bloody battle of Bronze Mountain, how could my nephew have arrived in Nanchang City? My nephew and the 40,000 soldiers would like to thank my second uncle for his contribution."

Zhang Dingbian said: "As long as the King of Han is fine, I will be happy to be crushed."

Zhang Bixian saw Zhang Dingbian respect Chen Li so much, and his mouth was wide open. He really didn't understand what was going on.

Zhang Dingbian pulled Zhang Bixian to Chen Li and said, "Brother and our brother have been friends with us for many years, and they have no choice but to have any helplessness about this third brother's temper. I hope the King of Han will not care about his words."

Chen Li smiled and said, "What's the matter with the second uncle? The third uncle is brave and resourceful and straightforward. My nephew likes his personality. How could I blame him? Besides, the nephew's changes are too great. If he doesn't doubt it, then the nephew will doubt him?"

Zhang Dingbian looked at Zhang Bixian and said, "Listen, how good is the King of Han's words? Why don't the third brother pay tribute to the King of Han quickly."

Zhang Bixian had to give Chen Li a new gift to the emperor and his ministers, and then everyone came back to have a meal and drink.

After drinking for three rounds, Chen Li said to Zou Pusheng: "Thank you for your hard work in the Grand Tutor, I don't know how we should deal with it next."

Zou Pusheng clasped his fists and said to Chen Li: "The current situation is extremely unfavorable to us. The army led by Chang Yuchun can reach Nanchang before dark. There is also Zhu Yuanzhang's 200,000 troops behind us. We are about to fall into a siege, whether to fight or defend, let the Han King decide."

Chen Li looked at Zhang Dingbian and said, "What do you think of the second uncle?"

Zhang Dingbian said: "Nanchang City is strong, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the city has sufficient food and grass. As long as we stick to it for several months, the Wu army will face a shortage of food and grass. At that time, we will think of another way to defeat the enemy."

Chen Li nodded, looked at Fu Youde and said, "Is there any good way for General Fu? If you know Zhu Yuanzhang's combat readiness soldiers, I think there must be a high opinion."

Fu Youde said: "Our situation is indeed very dangerous. Zhu Yuanzhang and many other powerful generals including Chang Yuchun and Xu Da, and his literary talent includes Liu Bowen, Li Bosheng, Li Xingsu and other strategists. It is almost impossible to win by surprise. At present, we can only respond to the enemy according to General Zhang's strategy."

Chen Li nodded, looked at Zhang Bixian and said, "Does Uncle San have good ideas?"

Zhang Bixian was observing Chen Li all the time. Seeing that he was calm, calm, unhurried, and his words and deeds were full of calmness as the master of the family, he breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether Li Li's identity was suspicious, just because of this momentum and humility were beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Forget it, obey first and then make a decision later.

Zhang Bixian stood up and said, "The strategies of all generals are very good, but have you ever thought about it. Zhu Yuanzhang is now in a strong army, with sufficient troops, and food, grass and weapons are not a problem. What if he traps us for a year and a half, or three or two years?"

Zou Pusheng said: "What the Prime Minister said is very true. Since the Jiangzhou victory, I have a feeling that Zhu Yuanzhang has regarded us as a great enemy. If he is determined to fight us to the end, it will be impossible."

Luo Gang said: "I am afraid that they will do anything, so I will be willing to charge at the enemy's place and fight them to the end."

For a time, everyone was discussing fiercely, and almost no one made any surrender. This also proved that Chen Li led the Wu army to fight several tough battles, which fully stimulated their confidence.
