Before Zhou Zheng came out, Ning Wan, I arrived first.

Ning Wan, I stood under the city, looking at the three words "Zhenbeicheng" on the plaque, with a calm expression but a deep vigilance.

He naturally knew about this city for a long time, but seeing it with his own eyes is another matter.

Judging from the scale and materials of the city and the arrangement of iron cannons on the city, it was obvious that the Ming Dynasty was preparing to use this city as a foundation for the Northern Expedition, and the army would inevitably come out from here.

Ning Wan stood Nikan next to me. He looked at the name and snorted coldly, saying, "I will break through here sooner or later!"

Ning Wan, my temples were a little white, and they floated up in the cold wind, and said, "If the negotiations cannot be reached this time, I will give you ten thousand people, can you break it?"

Nikan said with disdain: "We also have cannons. Ten thousand people suddenly besieged and then found a high point to attack. The Ming people in this city will definitely not let go, but it is too far from Jinzhou. I ambushed on the road. I will eat as many Ming troops as I eat!"

Ning Wan, I nodded slightly, turned my head to look at the Cao Bianjiao cavalry who was following behind, and said lightly: "The door is open, go in."

There were only eight people in their group. As the gate of Zhenbei opened, Lu Xiangguan came out to greet him in person. He was a big man and said with a smile: "Mr. Ning, please please, please please, please, wait for a long time."

Ning Wan, I looked at Lu Xiangguan, raised my hand and walked towards the Zhenbeicheng official office.

Ning Wan, I was indirect and my words were inseparable from Zhou Zheng.

Lu Xiang's view is fine in its roughness, and there is no truth in it.

Ning Wan, my face was still moving, but I was surprised. Lu Xiangguan's attitude was surprisingly good, and the captains around him no longer had the same sharp eyes as before.

Ning Wan, I suppressed my inner fear and came to the government office with Lu Xiangguan.

But when he saw Lu Xiangsheng greeting at the door, he smiled rarely and said, "Mr. Ning, please."

Ning Wan, my face tried my best to remain calm, and my heart became more and more uneasy.

The Ming army general showed no reason for the "friendliness". He still remembers the previous time he returned to Shenyang from the capital and passed by Jinzhou. Lu Xiangsheng's expression was hesitant to kill him, rather than going out to greet him now!

Ning Wan, I forced a smile and entered the government office with Lu Xiangsheng.

The two of them sat down and finished the tea. After the tea, Lu Xiangsheng looked at Ning Wan and said, "Mr. Ning came here bravely in the wind and snow. Is there anything wrong?"

Ning Wan, I looked at the smile on Lu Xiangsheng's face, was shocked and confused, and smiled and said, "The main reason is that I know that Duke Ding is coming. I want to discuss some things with Duke Ding."

Lu Xiangsheng said: "If it is about Liaodong, there are some things that do not require Dingguo to do in person."

Ning Wan, I thought about Lu Xiangsheng's words, and my eyes flashed.

Is Lu Xiangsheng's words something happened within the Ming Dynasty? Did Zhou Zhengyun lose his authority? Or did Lu Xiangsheng and Zhou Zhengyun have a conflict, and Lu Xiangsheng wants to replace Zhou Zhengyun to become a big figure in the Ming Dynasty?

Ning Wan, my heart was surging, and I smiled on my face, and said, "I don't really understand what Lord Lu means."

Lu Xiangsheng said directly: "Why did Mr. Ning come?"

Ning Wan, I was determined to test and said, "One is diplomatic relations, two is mutual trading."

Lu Xiangsheng frowned immediately. He really couldn't be good at these two things.

The reason why Lu Xiangsheng was polite to Ning Wan was simply because he wanted to continue to delay time and dispel Zhou Zheng's intention to expedite the Northern Expedition.

He thought in his heart and said, "Mr. Ning should not think about these two things. No matter who it is, he cannot change the status quo."

Ning Wan, I looked at Lu Xiangsheng's expression and said, "Then, can Liaodong open up trade? Our country has a lot of good things, and your country also needs them."

Lu Xiangsheng said: "I can agree. We will not move for the time being and will not continue to go north to build a city. The troops will also retreat."

Ning Wan, I already understood what should have happened within the Ming Dynasty, but Zhou Zheng may still control the power, and Lu Xiangsheng and others wanted to calm down in Liaodong and delay time.

‘What happened?’

Ning Wan, I thought to myself and said, "These are not enough. This Zhenbei City is already our last bottom line. If your country continues to go north, then our country can only fight at any cost."

Lu Xiangsheng took a deep breath, the polite smile on his face was completely gone, and he said lightly: "Mr. Ning, you have to know that if our dynasty fights the Northern Expedition at any cost, you will not last long."

Ning Wan, I had no expression on my face and said, "I am far more powerful than you in the Wanli period. How much better are you than in the Wanli period? If you really want to fight, victory or defeat is still between two people."

Seeing that Ning Wan was so tough, Lu Xiangsheng might really anger Zhou Zheng, and his expression was cold, he said directly: "I sent an order to Man Gui and Cao Bianjiao's cavalry to Jinzhou and mobilize 30,000 troops to Ningyuan."

Ning Wan, I looked at Lu Xiangsheng's expression and said lightly: "Mr. Lu, have you done such a big thing?"

Lu Xiangsheng stood up directly, turned around and left, saying, "You will know later."

Lu Xiangsheng said this and turned around and really left.

Ning Wan, I looked at his back and frowned.

What happened today was too weird and he couldn't understand.

Nikan was pretending to be mute, lowering his head, but his eyes were cold.

At this moment, Zhou Zheng put on his clothes and came out with Zhou Deqian. He saw a young man with a serious expression on his face.

The young man did not expect to meet Zhou Zheng. He was stunned for a moment and quickly saluted and said, "I will meet Duke Ding."

Zhou Zheng saw that he looked familiar and said, "What's your name?"

The young man knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and said, "I will be the last general Li Dingguo."

Zhou Zheng whispered. After so many years, he almost forgot about this person. He whispered and said, "Get up. Oh, by the way, this is my nephew. He wants to be the pioneer of the Northern Expedition. You can take him for me."

Li Dingguo stood up, looked at Zhou Zheng, and then looked at Zhou Dejian.

Zhou Deqian was also stunned. He had never heard of the name Li Dingguo. Looking at the Medal of the Duke in front of him, he hurriedly said: "The last general Zhou Deqian, please see the Duke in the Duke."

Li Dingguo still didn't understand, but Zhou Zheng said that he had already left, so he had to say, "Get up."

Zhou Deqian got up, looked at Li Dingguo and said with a smile: "I will ask the commander in the future, so don't care about my second uncle."

Li Dingguo was a little confused about the situation, so he gave it to him this time?

When Zhou was heading to the main hall, Liu Liuzhe reported what had just happened to Zhou Zheng along the way.

Zhou Zheng was not surprised and said, "Where has Lu Jiandou been?"

Liu Liuzhe said: "In the Houya."

Zhou Zheng continued to walk to the main hall and said, "I came here this time, but I probably couldn't hold on. If I couldn't get the food from us, I would probably take some risky actions. You ask Menghezhou to check it out for me and I want the details of Shenyang."

Liu Liuzhe responded and said, "Second Young Master, Jianlu shouldn't do anything in the cold winter, right?"

Zhou Zhengdao: "Don't be lucky, terrible things often happen in what we expect to be 'not'."

Liu Liuzhe's expression changed slightly and he hurriedly said, "Yes, I'll go now."
