Wei Zeng stood in front of the palace, but he was not very happy in his heart.
The power and wealth represented in front of him did not seem to attract him.
"One cent of greed, one cent, will lead to strife in the world, and will lead to the displacement of the people.
High above, there is only the cold wind, and there is only the doubt that cannot be let go.
Keeping you will only lead more people to death."
Wei Zeng said in his heart.
"General, do you want to go in?
The palace inside is very grand, and the throne in the palace is also very solemn.
If the general can sit on it, he will be even more powerful."
Huang Yufei said to Wei Zeng with excitement on his face.
"I won't go in, and no one else can go in from now on.
Order people to burn this palace.
It's best if not a single tile is left.
After all this is done, we will go to Xuhuai and burn down the people from Jiangnan.
Drive away."
Wei Zeng stopped looking at the palace and said as he turned to leave.
"But it would be a pity to burn such a fine palace like the General's.
There are many valuable things in it."
Huang Yufei saw Wei Zeng turn his head, his eyes were very unhappy, even a little fierce, he had just arrived No words could come out of his mouth.
"It's best if you do as I say and everything inside will be reduced to ashes."
Wei Zeng left.
Huang Yufei did not dare to say any more and ordered the palace in the capital to be burned to the ground.
The fire burned for days and nights, and the most majestic symbol of the dynasty left in the world was reduced to ashes.
As soon as Gucha returned from victory, Wei Zeng led his army towards Xuhuai.
"The Central Plains has been obtained.
This is something that is worthy of envy for many people.
For power, for kinship, and for the great wish to rule the country and bring peace to the world.
In short, whether it is a good person or a bad person; whether it is a greedy person or a person with great ambitions, They can always find a reason to kill everyone who stands in their way.
Destiny.
I can't get rid of it, and I can't stay aloof from it.
I will continue on this path for my own sake, but I really hate it.
"Nao Nuo, in the end, it will be eternal silence.
This may be the best destination."
Wei Zeng felt very painful.
But he could only hold the weapon in his hand tighter.
Fan Kuyi led the Jiangnan army and surrounded Suicheng when Wei Zeng went north to support Shifeng City.
It's just that the garrison in Suicheng is no longer under the control of the cowardly Suicheng chief, and there will be no troops approaching the city.
It was about surrendering the city.
Before Wei Zeng left, he built several fortresses around Suicheng, which echoed Suicheng and prevented the Jiangnan army from advancing further.
After several months of siege, there was no result, and the capital had been captured by Wei Zeng.
News of the arrival of Wei Zeng's army had also reached Fan Guyi's ears.
"Brother Juyi, all of this is my fault.
If I hadn't used my troops carelessly, Suicheng would not have been lost.
It's just that the guards in Suicheng were too abominable.
When they saw our army failed, they immediately threw themselves into Wei Zeng's army.

Hug.
I want to know that he is such a loser.
When we occupied Suicheng, I replaced him."
Fu Zuci blamed himself when he heard the news that the main force from Yanbei was coming and knew that the Northern Expedition was about to fail. .
"Wei Zeng has a powerful army.
He was attacked from three sides, but he was able to remain calm and move towards victory step by step.
We underestimated him.
Now the enemy is very united, and no one wants to surrender without a fight.
We encountered such strong resistance. , the failure of this Northern Expedition was beyond my expectation.
It has failed, but I want to meet Wei Zeng in person to see what kind of character he is.
Although the Northern people are not afraid of death, it shows that Wei Zeng is also a deep-seated person.
We can talk about it," Fan Juyi said with his eyes closed.
"How could Brother Guyi, a saint, say that he developed to where he is now just because of a moment of luck.
In my opinion, it's okay to say that he is a hero in troubled times, but you are wrong, brother Guyi, a saint.
Even so.
So what if he occupies the entire Central Plains?
We can use all the strength of our Jiangnan Sixth Route to form an army of 300,000 people.
It’s still unclear who will win by then," Fu Zuci said excitedly, his face turned red with urgency, and his beard was still trembling after he finished speaking. .
"Brother Zu Ci, why should you be excited?
Didn't I say that I wanted to meet him?
If he is the kind of careerist who only has power in his eyes and will fight for the last drop of my Jiangnan Sixth Road, I will not let him take advantage.
As long as he I still have some kind thoughts in my heart.
We still have room for recovery.
The battle between the armies and the loss of life were all over again.
At that time, the teacher said: Thousands of corpses were buried, blood flowed for thousands of miles, and the world was safe.
How did we react at that time?
Are we really going to take this path?
Is there a way?"
Fan Juyi said.
"We didn't understand it at the time and thought that all problems could be solved through peaceful means.
Now it seems that what the teacher said was right.
Fighting for the world is not just a matter of death and death.
There is no room for turning around.
Don't worry, my sworn brother.
There are too many.
The first thing is to unify the world.
As long as the world can be unified, we can naturally implement benevolent policies and let all people in the world live a happy life."
Fu Zuci replied.
"Wrong is wrong, right is right, there is no excuse, and there is no reason to reverse right and wrong.
If you can, then you must do everything right now.
Who can tell what will happen in the future.
I will meet with Wei Zeng , I will make a decision whether to fight him to the end or find another solution."
Fan Guyi said with his eyes closed.
Wei Zeng led the main force of Yanbei to the border of Xuhuai.
The Jiangnan army was waiting carefully.

It seemed that a war was inevitable.
It was very quiet between the two armies, with only the sound of wind and the neighing of horses.
A horseman from the Jiangnan army came to Wei Zeng's army and said that Fan Kuyi, the governor of Jiangnan, wanted to talk about something.
Then a group of chariots and horses walked out of the Jiangnan formation and came to the front of the two armies.
"What is the enemy doing?
What is there to say about the battle between the two armies?
Could it be their conspiracy?"
Huang Yufei said.
"Now that Fan Juyi has arrived in front of the battle, I would be gutless if I didn't go.
I also want to see what kind of role this Jiangnan Governor is."
Wei Zeng saw that among the other party's horses and horses, one person was wearing a Confucian uniform.
When Fu came to the car, he showed that he was unprepared and did not flinch.
He led several personal guards to greet him.
"I don't know why you came to see me.
It seems that we don't know each other well.
The battle between the two armies means you and I will die.
It can't be solved with a few words."
Wei Zeng said to Fan Guyi.
"Is General Wei also the kind of person who likes killing people?
Does General Wei just like to keep fighting like this?"
Fan Guyi asked.
"It doesn't matter if you like it, it doesn't matter if you don't like it.
Anyway, the war must go on.
If I don't fight others, others will fight me.
Isn't this war in the Xuhuai land started by you Jiangnan people?
Come here and fight.
How can I refuse to fight?"
Wei Zeng said with a smile.
"The world is determined to be unified.
Only by achieving unification can the war end.
There is no other way.
General Wei has unified the Central Plains.
Will you let us Jiangnan go?
In order to protect ourselves, we can only choose to fight."
Fan Guyi's expression Yi Shen said.
"I am also protecting myself, from the beginning.
But as I become stronger and stronger, everyone comes to attack me.
You don't feel safe.
How can I feel safe if I let people close to me die in the war?
"Am I willing to see it?
But can I not fight?
If I don't fight, everything I have will be lost," Wei Zeng said.
"General Wei, why should he only think about himself?
Don't you know the word world?"
Fan Kuyi said with a smile.

"The world is full of people, I think so.
Others think so too.
So I can only keep fighting.
I can't be alone, but for the people I meet, I hope they can die well.
I have someone to protect me now. , I only want to protect them until the end.
I think you are also a sensible person, so I ask you, can you choose to give up all fights?"
Wei Zeng asked.
"Of course we can't give up the fight and let this world sink.
That would be hell."
Fan Juyi replied.
"If you can't give up, you can only persist.
It's useless to talk more.
Let's see the truth on the battlefield."
Wei Zeng said and was about to go back.
"Wait a minute.
Is there no other way to go other than fighting to the end?
Why press forward step by step?
Why rush into it head-on despite knowing that there is suffering ahead.
Maybe if you just take a step back, everything will be brighter."
Fan Juyi said.
"If you take one step back, who can trust you if you take the first step?
There are too many betrayals in this world, not to mention that we are not familiar with each other at all."
Wei Zeng said with a bitter smile.
"I am willing to take the first step back, as long as I can get a promise from General Wei."
Fan Juyi said.
"Oh, what do you want me to promise?
If I promise, will you believe it?"
Wei Zeng asked.
"I, Fan Guyi, have met a lot of people, and I think I won't misjudge the person.
As long as General Wei promises to peacefully resolve all disputes with us in Jiangnan, I am willing to withdraw our troops from Xuhuai."
Fan Guyi said.
"I'm afraid it's a little difficult to make a covenant and make friends from generation to generation.
Who can stick to a covenant until the end."
Wei Zeng said with a smile.
"The world is determined to be one, and I have never changed this view.
It is just a way of unification, which does not necessarily require war."
Fan Juyi said.
"Whether it's you surrendering or us surrendering.
There is always one party who wants to lower his head.
I will not bow my head.
As for you, I don't think you will either."
Wei Zeng tilted his head and smiled, obviously not believing what Fan Juyi said.
"I heard that General Wei burned down the imperial palace in the capital.
Why don't you want to ascend to the throne and enjoy the glory of being congratulated by thousands of people?"
Fan Juyi did not answer, but changed the topic.

"No one is humbler than anyone else, and no one is more noble than anyone else.
Letting the world be stained with blood just for a seat is a mistake in itself.
Dirty things can only be purified by fire."
Wei Zeng said with a look in his eyes.
With anger.
"I have already guessed some, but I was still surprised when I heard your answer.
Since you think so, we definitely have the possibility of finding a second way.
The power of the world naturally belongs to the people of the world.
When the world is gone A strong power is naturally Datong.
This path is not good.
Go, but having a partner can at least make you more confident.
I will withdraw my troops and leave here.
As for specific matters, we can send messengers to communicate with each other.
I am also willing to use my influence to make the world shed less blood.
There is a second way."
Fan Juyi said.
"It's great that you are willing to withdraw your troops.
I don't want to let my people die in vain.
But I advise you not to be too naive.
Everything is not that simple."
Wei Zengyi replied with a frown.
"I, Fan Juyi, once helped my teacher to pacify the south of the Yangtze River, but because of a remonstrance, I was exiled to the barren land of the south.
After eight years of hard work, I finally achieved my current status.
Naive, haha, I didn't expect this word to be used for me.
It's really interesting.
Maybe I'm naive.
General Wei, we will definitely meet again.
When we meet again, we won't be on the battlefield like we are now."
After that, Fan Kuyi led the army. left.
"The enemy has really retreated, should we pursue him?"
Huang Yufei asked Wei Zeng when he saw the Jiangnan army retreating.
"No need, let's go to Guanbei and drive away the Yaodong people.
That Fan Juyi is a little crazy.
Maybe as he said, we can find a second way."
Wei Zeng said.
But just when Wei Zeng's army arrived at Shifeng City, news came that Guiwucheng had surrendered to the Ding brothers, and now Guanbei was completely occupied by the Yaodong people.
After Sajiali's main force was defeated by the Ding brothers that day, the officials of Lu Yecheng and Hebingcheng lost the confidence to resist and immediately dedicated the two cities.
Yaodong's army entered Luye City and Hebing City and established a foothold in Guanbei.
The arrival of Wei Zeng's reinforcements made the defenders of Guiwucheng very excited and their will to fight became strong.
After hearing the news of Wei Zeng's arrival, the Ding brothers withdrew their main force into the city, intending to stand firm and resist.
However, the Yanbei army's main attack direction is not Guanbei, and the troops coming to Guanbei are really unable to change the existing situation.
Wei Zeng asked the troops he brought to go on the defensive, but he left Guanbei, which also caused the people in Guiwucheng to lose confidence.
Feng Zhuyuan was defeated and fled back to Guiwucheng.
Sa Jiali's death was related to his defeat in the battle, so Feng Zhuyuan had always been worried that Wei Zeng would punish him, and he had always been uneasy.
Yaodong's army soon found out the actual situation of Yanbei's army clearly, and arrived near Guiwucheng, intending to capture Guiwucheng before Yanbei's main force arrived.

Everyone in Guiwucheng was in panic, and the Gale Group, who had become the real leader of Guiwucheng, was even more terrified all day long.
The Gale Group has always wanted to be officially recognized and get rid of the name of the gang.
With the support of Wei Zeng, the Gale Group achieved this.
But now, Yaodong's army is approaching the city, and the Gale Group is facing the crisis of being wiped out.
They can't help but have doubts.
Yanbei's army has been delayed in arriving.
Officials of all sizes in Guiwucheng found Feng Zhuyuan and persuaded him to give up resistance.
Finally, the Ding brothers sent a message that as long as they submitted to them, everyone in Guiwucheng could maintain their current status.
Finally, after some weighing, the members of the Gale Group chose to betray Wei Zeng and submit to the Ding brothers
