When the Huan Kingdom decided to cede land, how could it be possible to discuss with the civilians? It is normal for the people to be kept in the dark.

Moreover, before, the two sides had some kind of agreement on peace talks.

Now that the news spread, I learned that the ghost clan was about to enter Zhenyang, the people were scattered while cursing King Huan, and they also fled in all directions. Some ran to their relatives, and some went into exile everywhere.

On the official roads behind Zhenyang, refugees who were pushing wooden carts or dragging their families and could see endless refugees everywhere.

Ghost Army Camp.

The Ghost King, who heard the news, was furious. While getting up, he also overturned the table in front of him, and the things that were clattered all over the floor.

A ghost army general stood below and lowered his body in fear.

"The previous peace talks were clearly written in the treaty. Huan's army immediately withdrew from the battlefield and could not move the people to facilitate our country and take over Zhenyang smoothly! What's going on now?"

Upon hearing this, the general slid his Adam's apple and swallowed hard: "I... the vanguard of our army's troops stationed in Zhenyang was hit hard by Yan Zheng's troops at the southern gate. No... could not enter the gate."

"It's outrageous!" The Ghost King looked ferocious and said sternly: "Immediately let Dok, on behalf of this king, put pressure on Huan Kingdom! Let the Huan army's troops evacuate from the Nan Pass immediately! Tell him that this is not a request!"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty the King calms down..." the general responded in a hurry.

Sometimes, through diplomatic means, you can solve the problem of war without spending one soldier. This is the most perfect method, and the Ghost King will of course give priority to it.

The Dok, who he said, was proficient in the Central Plains language and was also an official in charge of diplomacy on the part of the ghost clan.

Under his order, Dok quickly met Guo Kai, and the two sides held urgent talks on the matter.

Guo Kai was originally a weak and incompetent person, and the ghost clan had a tough attitude, insisting on the matter of peace agreement, making a big fuss about this, hoping to hold Huan responsible.

In the Huan Kingdom, fearing that the peace agreement that had finally reached was torn apart by the ghost clan. While trying hard to please, the other hand ordered Yan Zheng to retreat.

As a result, this order was ignored by Yan Zheng again.

The news came back to Xiang Ge, and the latter also slapped the table and said angrily:

"What does he Yan want to do!? Well!?"

The generals on both sides were silent. Obviously, Yan Zheng did what they wanted to do but dared not do, which made them admire him from the bottom of their hearts.

But Xiang Ge didn't think so. He only knew that Yan Zheng had disobeyed his supreme commander's two military orders.

Seeing that the generals were silent, he looked at a military Chinese official and said sternly: "You go to the Nanguan Pass yourself and tell Yan Zheng that if you come back now and apologize for the crime, I can give him another chance! If you dare to disobey your orders, you will be engaged in military law!"

"This..." the civil servant swallowed.

"Why don't you go quickly!" Xiang Ge glared.

"Yes, yes, the lower officials obey the order..."

Nanguankou is the main road leading to Zhenyang by the Ghost Army. It is not far from the current Huan Army camp, so the civil servants arrived here the next morning.

The two met in the military camp.

The civil servant first bowed his hand and said almost, "I haven't seen you for many days, so I'm fine."

Yan Zheng is not a fool, so he can naturally guess the purpose of the civil servant coming here, so he has no good expression and said directly: "Mr. Kang, just say whatever you have."

"Haha." The civil servant smiled, organized the language, and said, "That's right. In view of the general's disobeying military orders in the previous period, General Xiang asked me to convey it. Perhaps there was a reason for the matter. As long as the general was willing to go back and give a reasonable explanation, this matter could be redirected."

"Running?" Yan Zheng sneered: "What a bullshit military order! I can't accept it! As a soldier, my duty is to defend my country!"

"General." The civil servant advised: "Why do you have to be strong for a while? It is said that you can keep the green mountains and don't be afraid of burning firewood..."

"Isn't this a show of strength?" Yan Zheng interrupted him: "If our troops retreat now, the ghost army will soon enter Zhenyang, and there is more than 1.3 million people around him. Do you still have time to evacuate? Can you still escape the ghost clan's clutches!"

"This, why bother with the common people?" said the civil servant.

"What are you talking nonsense?" Yan Zheng was furious and said sternly: "It is because of your corrupt bones that our army will retreat step by step! It is better to just say that it is surrender! I'll ask you! Since you want to humiliate the country and cede land, why don't you notify the people of Zhenyang and let the people evacuate!?"

"Then...that's in response to the request of the ghost clan, and we have no choice..." the civil servant explained.

"What did you say!" Hearing this, Yan Zheng couldn't help but grab the civil servant's neck and glared and shouted: "I'll give Zhenyang to him and let him go! I'll also send my compatriots to the ghost clan to enslave him!"

He was a military general, and there was no way the civil servant could resist. He was caught in front of him and kept grinning: "General, please calm down. That was all the decisions of the court and it had nothing to do with me..."

"Get out! Go back and tell Xiang Ge! I, Yan Zheng, swear to never retreat! Even if I fight to the last person! This is the determination of all the soldiers of our troops!"

After shouting, he also pushed the civil servant away.

The latter staggered and almost fell to the ground. In such anger, he did not dare to say more? He hurriedly ran out of the military camp with his tail between his legs.

After he ran away, a commander moved the corners of his mouth and shouted tentatively: "General..."

Yan Zheng took a deep breath, and then closed his eyes in pain: "There is difficulties in the family and the country, and every man is responsible. It is hateful that the generals in the army are all rats. The court is weak and incompetent. Although we have the will to serve the country, we are still unable to support it..."

He knew very well that five thousand people could not defend the Nan Pass, but he still decided to fight to the death, just to be able to guard one more day, one more day, which would give the people more time to escape.

He refused to receive the order three times, and the news came back to Xiang Ge. The latter was furious and couldn't help but curse:

"A man Yan Zheng! He didn't say anything about his military order! He dared to call him the name of the general! He deserves to die!"

But no matter how much he scolds, he is now helpless with Yan Zheng.

On the other hand, Yan Zheng guarded the pass and refused to retreat, and the Ghost King naturally began to hold Guo Kai accountable. The latter was in the process of dealing with him and pleading with him, and also directly described Yan Zheng's ministry as a rebel, saying that he was no longer in the Huan army and was not under command.

Diplomacy measures were useless, and the Ghost King was furious and no longer delayed it, because if this continued, the people around Zhenyang fled one after another, and then it would become an empty city.

He also immediately called a general and said with a shock:

"Start a strong attack on Nanguankou immediately! Be sure to wipe out Yan Zheng's troops within three days!"
