Chapter 644: A single spark can start a prairie fire
Yanzhou, Chen Liu.

Li Xiuning's eyes were full of excitement, and excitedly facing Li Shimin sitting on the dragon chair, he reported: "Second brother, all the remnants of the Ming Dynasty in the city have been eliminated, and now Chen Liu has been completely captured by our army."

Li Shimin was also very excited. After all, this was the first achievement of Fa Ming, but he also knew that the war would never end because of this, and the counter-attack later would be the real test.

"How about the casualties?" Li Shimin asked with a chuckle.

"This battle is mainly due to the internal fighting of the Ming army, so our army suffered few casualties. With the addition of the troops who surrendered, our army currently has nearly [-] people, which is enough to defend Chen Liu."

Li Shimin knew these data by heart, but he still had to confirm it again from his sister's mouth.

"Nearly 50 troops from the Five Route Army conquered Ming Dynasty, but this feat was captured by Li Shimin's [-] soldiers. The rest of the princes must look very good when they learn about it."

Li Shimin sneered and sneered, then he seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, which families of generals Ni Ming have been captured?"

"Second brother, little sister just wanted to tell you."

Li Xiuning's expression changed immediately, and he said solemnly: "Now in Chenliu City, let alone the family members of General Ni Ming, even the relatives of soldiers who were loyal to Daming, are no longer in the city. Zhang Sheng was already preparing, and he Secretly transferred Chen Liu."

"what?"

Li Shimin's brows furrowed, and he said solemnly, "So, what we got is just an empty city?"

"That's not the case. The equipment depot, the grain depot...Most of them are still there. Daming may not have time to transfer, or the target is too big to transfer, so only the old and weak are transferred."

"Is that so?"

Li Shimin held his head with his left hand, and tapped the dragon chair with his right hand, and his eyes gradually became blurred.

After seeing this scene, Li Xiuning knew that the second brother was thinking about a problem, so Tingting stood aside and made no movement.

After a while, Li Shimin thought of something like that, and the look in his eyes instantly recovered. He chuckled lightly, "That woman Zhang Sheng is really amazing. Even after this, she still wants to fight to the death, but it's all for nothing."

"Second brother, do you mean that the war in the future will be more intense?"

"No, it will be easy later."

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth were slightly raised, and he said meaningfully: "It's far more relaxed than you think."

Li Xiuning immediately frowned, her beautiful eyes were full of doubts, but Li Shimin smiled and shook his head without explaining much.

------

Jizhou, Julu County, Guangzong City.

"Chen Liu has been defeated by Li Shimin like this?"

Looking at Zhang Sheng who was still in disbelief, Zhang Liang's face was even more bitter, and he said with difficulty: "Yes, Your Majesty, Chen Liu is broken."

Only then did Zhang Liang understand the true meaning of the word 'involuntary'.

During the decisive battle of Sizhou, Zhang Liang did not participate because he was captured by Qin Hao, and the Yellow Turbans were eventually wiped out.

At that time, Zhang Liang was thinking, if he had participated, would the Yellow Turbans end like this?
This time the Five Routes Han army attacked Ming, Zhang Liang racked his brains to think of all possibilities and made all the preparations that could be done in order to preserve Daming, but Chen Liu was eventually defeated by the Han army.

Chenliu is not only the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but also the core point of the war. The five fronts are all centered on protecting Chenliu.

Once Chenliu is broken, the Ming armies will be completely divided, and the Han armies will join forces while driving straight in. It is only a matter of time before the five major fronts are broken one by one.

Therefore, from the moment Chen Liu was breached, the fate of Daming's defeat was already doomed.

"I lost, I lost again."

At this time, Zhang Liang was able to realize how difficult it was to defy the sky with one manpower. Even if he was present at the beginning, I am afraid it would still be difficult to reverse the defeat, because the outcome was already doomed.

After working hard for so long, but in the end, it is still in vain. Is this really the will of God?

Although Zhang Liang was reluctant to admit it in his heart, what could he do with the fact?
"Your Majesty, in this battle, our army... was defeated."

As soon as he said these words, Zhang Liang's whole person seemed to be taken out of time, and he seemed to be ten years older in an instant.

A trace of sadness flashed on Zhang Sheng's beautiful face, and his eyes were full of unwillingness, but he finally sighed helplessly.

"Yeah, defeated, completely defeated."

When the courtiers heard this, they all clenched their fists unwillingly, and even more sobbed in a low voice.

The country built by them is now about to perish in their hands, how can everyone not be sad.

Guo Jia stood up at this time and said: "Your Majesty, although the defeat of this battle has been decided, Daming must not be destroyed by this. I request to start the final retreat and preserve the fire of revival for my Daming."

Zhang Liang sighed in his heart upon seeing this, Jia Guo, no, Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, are you so eager to return to Qin Hao's arms?
Of course Zhang Liang knew that Guo Jia belonged to Qin Hao, and he didn't break it because there was no need for it. After all, even Emperor Daming's heart was with Qin Hao, so is it necessary to break Guo Jia's identity?
Guo Jia's 'final retreat' was actually proposed by Zhang Liang.

Dahan attacked across the board this time, and Da Ming responded to the enemy with scattered troops, and it was too difficult to win.

Therefore, when the decisive battle had just started, Zhang Liang had already reserved a final retreat for Daming. In the event of a certain defeat, he would retain the spark of revival, retreat into the deep mountains, and wait for the big man to change.

Now that Chen Liu has been breached, and Daming has been completely divided, the defeat is doomed, so it is time to start this last retreat.

"Qin Hao, did you guess this day long ago?"

When he thought of this man he wanted to hate but couldn't, Zhang Liang's heart became extremely complicated. When he thought about the confidence of the other party when he released him, he obviously decided that he could not succeed.

Qin Hao gave Zhang Liang a chance, but he couldn't grasp it. Now it's finally time for Zhang Liang to fulfill his promise.

There are always some people who cannot accept the fact. After all, once this last retreat is initiated, it is equivalent to admitting Daming's defeat in disguise.

Therefore, when Guo Jia's proposal of 'the last retreat' came out, it was like detonating a bomb in the DPRK. There were both supporters and opponents, and the Ming Dynasty hall became a mess in an instant.

Seeing this, Zhang Liang stood up and said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, if you continue to resist, it will only increase casualties. The minister believes that it is the best policy to retreat into the 'Three Mountains' and retain strength until it is planned."

Zhang Liang's pathetic remarks silenced everyone.

At this moment, Zhang Sheng spoke, and it was something Qin Hao had said to her.

"If you save land and lose people, people and land will be lost; if you save people and lose land, people and land will be villages. A single spark can start a prairie...

Temporary failure doesn't mean everything, as long as Daming is still there, everyone is still there, one day, Daming, I will surely start a prairie fire again. "
