"Mr. Zhang, I am just a businessman, I have never been concerned about politics. As long as I have money to make a business, I will not give up easily. As long as the price is paid appropriately, let alone food, even weapons, war horses and other banned goods can be brought into Anyuan, but it depends on whether someone can afford that price. As for the ban that Mr. Zhang mentioned, I wonder if Mr. Zhang has some misunderstandings. Our Grand Duke of the Principality of the Trilock has never had any ban.

In Lord Li Wufeng's army, they are just guest officials in Derlock. If there is a ban, it should be issued by the public's internal affairs department to be effective. In short, I have never seen the ban from the internal affairs department, so my business must be done. As for the way to enter Anyuan, it is a business secret. Please forgive me for not being able to pour out." Pi Hongkui pretended to be drunk and glared at the other party impolitely, with a look of unhappiness.

Zhang Zhentian's heart moved. He had long heard that some officials and nobles in the Principal of Gerok were not harmonious with Li Wufeng, especially the so-called engagement between Li Wufeng and Princess Anne was an alliance under the city. It was a necessity. It seemed that Li Wufeng's ban did not play a great role in restraining people from some forces in the Principal of Gerok. He could use this relationship to alleviate the food pressure in the territory. If the Deluke side could be built into a stable transportation channel, although it would be worth it.

"Haha, I'm wronged. The Principality of Delok is an independent sovereign state. Foreigners should not and cannot interfere in your country's internal affairs and diplomacy. As for the circulation of goods, it is even more trivial, and it should not be affected by external forces." Zhang Zhentian apologized while smiling and observing the other party's expression.

Pi Hongkui performed very well, and his slightly drunk face still maintained a shrewdness, "Haha, Lord Zhang, business is business, please don't get involved in politics. Lord Li Wufeng's army was invited by our Grand Duke Allen to help us resist the invasion of the Kamans. They should not interfere in government affairs, but they did help us, otherwise Morlington might become the territory of the Kamans. I am a law-abiding businessman and don't want to be related to politics. I just want to make more money honestly."

Zhang Zhentian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If this guy acted too explicitly, it would arouse his suspicion. However, although this guy was a little dissatisfied with Li Wufeng, he was not strong. He was just dissatisfied with some measures of the army under Li Wufeng. This attitude was in line with the attitude of these businessmen who were changing their minds.

Pi Hongkui was thinking about the other party's intentions. Obviously, a large batch of grain entering Anyuan made the other party feel a little suspicious, but the joy overwhelmed the suspicion. In addition, his performance also made the other party unable to find any flaws. The army escorted the food should have been in place at this time. Is it time to take action?

Inadvertently glanced quietly over the faces of the two adjacent officers sitting diagonally opposite. It was obvious that there was a hint of worry and worry in the other person's eyes, but his behavior was normal. If he didn't enter the tiger's den, how could a tiger have? Since he had reached this point, he had no way to go. He quietly gave the other party a wink, and the general who was signaled stood up and raised the wine pot on the desk, and walked forward and laughed: "Master Fu Zun, the Beizhi guards the north, and has not had a drink with the Du Zun for a long time. Come on, Master Fu Zun, Master Fu Zun, and Master Fu Zun fill you up. I wish you a cup. I hope we can overcome this difficulty, and I hope the Holy King can return from Heshuo as soon as possible and drive the Northwest Army and the Kaman people out of Beiyuan!"

Seeing that the other party mentioned the Holy King, not to mention that he was his general, Zhang Zhentian naturally could not refute the other party. He nodded and drank the wine filled in the wine cup, and then sat down and let the other party fill his wine cup. "Ziman, you have worked hard to guard the north. Although there is no big noise in the north, don't slack off. Now we are not negligent at all. We must report it immediately if there is any movement."

"Don't worry, with me here, you can't even fly over in the north." He raised his chest and patted him. A strange look of excitement flashed across the face of the officer, and even his words were trembling. Zhang Zhentian, who was immersed in joy, did not notice this.

Zhang Zhentian suddenly felt dizzy when he was drinking. Why is the power of this wine so great? It is not a problem to drink two or three pounds by himself. Today, he became dizzy before he reached two pounds. Some of his eyes seemed a little dizzy? Even his head became a little dull. In a daze, he suddenly saw a few people breaking in from outside the door. When he waved his hand, his powerful subordinates fell to the banquet. The blood splashed up actually soaked the curtain behind him red. What happened? Could it be that he was drunk and hallucinated?

Zhang Zhentian tried hard to see clearly with his eyes wide, but everything was still blurry. The screams and the collision of weapons from the hall seemed to be far and near, and he could not hear them clearly. At this moment, he didn't know whether he was in a dream. He tried hard to sit up, but at this time he realized that he had no strength in his body, and he didn't even have the strength to speak. He watched four of his six subordinates fall into a pool of blood, and the bodyguard and manager who killed them was actually the bodyguard and the manager who worked with the grain merchant. A violent terror caught Zhang Zhentian's heart tightly. But at this moment, no matter what he was thinking, in fact, he had no strength. In addition to his eyes, he could turn and stare at the fierce fighting outside the banquet hall.

When Ke Ziman, the general who was guarding the northern pass, and his distant nephew Zhang Deshan, came in with a bloody sword and walked into the inner room of his yard to take out the tiger talisman, even Zhang Zhentian was stupid enough to understand what was going on. Ke Ziman's betrayal made him feel sad and disappointed, but his nephew's turnaround made him difficult to accept no matter what. However, the scene in front of him happened alive. Zhang Zhentian, who was angry and crazy, performed extremely well under extreme grief and anger, squeezed out a sentence from his throat with a hoarse voice: "Why do you do this?"

Ke Zi's face was extremely calm: "Sir, those who know the times are heroes. We can't even survive for six and a half months. What brothers can't live with you? You can't drink the northwest wind? Look at the surrounding situation, what else can we do? Where can we retreat?"

Seeing that his distant uncle looked at him, a trace of guilt flashed across Zhang Deshan's face, but it was just a flash of time. Instead, he was extremely determined: "Uncle, open his eyes and look at the world around him. Taiping Cult is outdated and it has lagged behind the times. Now the villagers in and outside the city have no food to eat. Do you have the heart to see them starved to death? Only by surrendering to Lord Li is the only way out. Even if you believe in Taiping Cult, it cannot be used as food. Filling your stomach is the only idea of ​​brothers and many villagers."

Pi Hongkui, who walked in from outside the house, glanced at Zhang Zhentian who was still lying in the seat, and then said to the other two: "Two, Lord Zhang should wait for him to stay here, no one will hurt him. We have more important things to do, and it is not too late to come and discuss in detail when the city is settled."

The fall of Anyuan City is not as simple as Pi Hongkui imagined. Although Ke Ziman and Zhang Deshan helped, the Taiping Army, who had accepted the tiger talisman, still doubted why the main general did not come to handle the handover in person. It is said that the main general should also be present on such a large-scale transfer. He insisted that he could hand over the handover after the main general was present.

The other party insisted that Ke Ziman and Zhang Deshan felt a hint of urgency. Once the matter in the Mansion Master was exposed, the two thousand people and Zhang Deshan's confidant troops were only 5,000. I was afraid that they would be immediately cut into meat sauce by the more than 20,000 Mansion Masters' confidant troops in the city and could not take over the city gate defense. The Nanjielok Legion Army, which had already reached the Nanjielok Army not far outside the city, could not conquer Anyuan City in a short time. Once things were delayed, they would change.

Zhang Deshan, who suddenly changed color, didn't even say much, and directly killed the deputy general on the spot. Seeing Lord Mansion's nephew suddenly turned against him and killed people, the other side generals were stunned for a moment. Zhang Deshan, with a solemn expression, announced the execution decision with the other party's open disobeying the imperial edict and attempting to rebel. Under Zhang Deshan's iron fist, the defense of the North Gate was immediately handed over to Zhang Deshan's troops. Just half an hour later, the Second Division of the Nanjielok Legion swarmed in in neat steps, and immediately launched a fierce street battle with the Taiping Army who had just woken up.

The Taiping Army, which had lost the main general, and some of the troops who had surrendered and had surrendered, were soon divided into several units. Some of them had put down their weapons and announced their surrender when they saw the general situation. Some of them announced that they would remain neutral, while a considerable number of them chose to persist in fighting until they were completely eliminated.
