Chapter 897 People’s minds change!

"If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. This is common sense. You can judge the situation and seek a way out for yourself and your family. I understand."

"But, once the betrayal is exposed, the consequences for you will not be very good. Have you thought about it?"

Meng Zhang chuckled in a low voice, and every word was like a hammer, striking their hearts.

Upon hearing this, the faces of several generals changed slightly, but then they became firm again. They knew that once they embarked on this path, there would be no turning back, but they no longer had a choice.

"General, rest assured. Now that we have made our decision, we are not afraid of the consequences. We only ask that you give us a way out so that our families can live the rest of their lives in peace."

The man bowed again, his tone full of determination.

Meng Zhang nodded, with a glimmer of admiration in his eyes. He admired the enemy's courage to take risks for his family. In war, sometimes betrayal and loyalty are just different positions.

"Okay, I admire your courage. As long as you can cooperate sincerely, I promise that you and your family will be properly resettled. Now, tell me about your plan."

Meng Zhang glanced at the generals below who were still a little ashamed, and made a promise to them.

Apart from anything else, as the first big brother to lead the investment, Meng Zhang can still guarantee their small requests.

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief. We have been in the army for many years and are well aware of the city's defenses and General Nangong's combat habits."

"As long as the commander-in-chief agrees on a date, we will coordinate from inside and open the city gates. The Yellow Turban army will rush in and Qianyuan City will be destroyed without a doubt."

After hearing this, several generals felt relieved and began to elaborate on their plan in detail. As generals under Nangong Tianxia, ​​they knew the defensive layout and troop deployment of Qianyuan City very well. Their betrayal would undoubtedly provide great convenience for the Yellow Turban Army to break through Qianyuan City.

Meng Zhang listened quietly, nodding and frowning from time to time, constantly thinking about the feasibility of the plan in his mind.

As time went by, the plan became clearer and a satisfied smile appeared on Meng Zhang's face. This war was not only a contest of military strength, but also a game of people's hearts.

Although Nangong Tianxia is brave and loyal, he cannot support the country alone. If people’s hearts are scattered, even the strongest city will be nothing more than a sand castle.

He looked at the generals of Daqian in front of him and sighed in his heart. If nothing else, the meticulousness of the plan alone was enough to illustrate the military qualities of these generals of Daqian.

This was a plan that those Yellow Turban ruffians under his command could not figure out no matter how hard they tried. In other words, even if those ruffians under his command wanted to betray him one day, they probably wouldn't be able to come up with anything.

However, Meng Zhang also understood that they might have chosen to betray because of their own selfish desires, but in the torrent of war, sometimes survival is more important than loyalty.

"Okay, your plan is very detailed. I will send someone to meet you and ensure that the plan goes smoothly."

Listening to their plan, a smile gradually appeared on Meng Zhang's face.

Several generals looked at each other and saw firm determination in each other's eyes. From the moment they stepped into this camp, they had already embarked on the road of betrayal, but for the sake of survival and for their families, they were willing to bear all the consequences.

"Don't worry, Commander. We are ready. We will act immediately upon your order."

The man bowed again, his tone full of determination and firmness.

Meng Zhang nodded, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. He knew that this war was about to usher in the final decisive battle.

Nangong Tianxia, ​​this loyal and brave general, is destined to become a victim of this war.

This is war, cruel and ruthless, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

"Okay, then follow the plan. I look forward to hearing good news from you."

Meng Zhang waved his hand, signaling them to withdraw. Several generals bowed, turned around and left the secret tent, disappearing into the night.

Meng Zhang looked at their departing backs and sighed in his heart that this war was about to reach its final climax.

"Nangong Tianxia, ​​although you are loyal and brave, you are unlucky." "I admire your loyalty, but you must also consider the overall situation. Qianyuan City will eventually become the possession of my Yellow Turban Army."

Meng Zhang whispered to himself, with a complex look in his eyes.

The night is as dark as ink, and a few stars hang alone in the sky, as if they are the last watchers in this troubled world.

Several generals who had just returned quietly from the Yellow Turban camp under the city quietly passed through the gloomy and depressing streets of Qianyuan City. Every step they took was heavy on the dust of history.

The lights were dim on both sides of the street. Occasionally, patrolling soldiers and busy laborers would salute and greet them. There was a hint of fatigue in their voices, but they were also respectful.

"General Zhang, General Li, are you still patrolling so late?"

A young soldier asked with a smile, his eyes shining with admiration for his superiors.

They responded one by one, their smiles carrying subtle pain and guilt. That bitterness was like the darkest star in the night sky, fleeting and soon replaced by determination.

"Yes, it is my duty and I dare not slack off."

General Zhang patted the soldier on the shoulder and tried to keep his tone calm, but his heart was in turmoil.

General Li forced a cheerful face and made a few jokes with a few soldiers he knew, trying to dilute the depressing atmosphere.

However, whenever his eyes swept across those innocent smiling faces, his heart felt like it was pierced by a needle, the pain was indescribable.

They knew that what they were about to do was the greatest betrayal of the soldiers who trusted them.

After passing through narrow alleys, they finally arrived at Nangong Tianxia's mansion.

The lights were on in the Marshal's mansion, but there was an indescribable heaviness in the air.

Nangong Tianxia was sitting at his desk, flipping through piles of war reports, his brows furrowed, his eyes revealing a barely perceptible trace of fatigue and vicissitudes.

"Generals, we are back. Thank you for your hard work. Did you find anything unusual during today's patrol?"

Seeing them come in, he forced a smile and said.

"General, everything is going normal on patrol today."

General Zhang spoke first, but his voice was much lower than usual, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Thank you for your hard work. Qianyuan City can hold on today thanks to everyone's concerted efforts."

Nangong Tianxia raised his head and glanced at them gently, as if he had noticed something, but he just smiled slightly. There were too many things hidden in that smile, including helplessness about the future and understanding for his subordinates.

"General, you are too kind. This is what we should do."

General Li felt a pang in his heart and almost shed tears, but he held it back and forced a smile.

Nangong Tianxia, ​​the general whom they once admired so much, has now become the person they are about to betray.

They suppressed their inner discomfort, reported the patrol situation one by one, and tried their best to make their voices sound calm.

Nangong Tianxia listened to their report, his face showing vicissitudes of life, and a trace of barely perceptible sadness flashed in his eyes.

He knew very well that the city was already crumbling and people's hearts were in turmoil. If it continued like this, he was afraid that it would be impossible to defend it.
