A Step Into The Past: I Am Han Xin - C143
As for the victory of Zhang Han’s army, the tip of the sword was aimed straight at Zhang Chu State.
King Zhang Chu, who once owned two-thirds of the land in the ocean and was a gathering of participants, seemed to have reached the end of the road. He placed his last hope on Qin Jia’s army who was at the East Sea County.
That Qin Jia was originally from Chen, but after the uprising in the Great Swamp Country, he had also started it and allied with Chen Sheng as a friend. It was another form of resistance, only that it was weak at the time. After that, Chen Sheng took down the Chencheng and established himself as the King Zhang Chu, Qin Jia then requested for allegiance to them and received the title of general from Chen Sheng, then sending troops to help them. Qin Jia assumed Chen Sheng’s banner, accepted the masses, attacked the cities, and gained more and more power. He had recently set up the Tancheng of the East Sea County Centre, and named himself the Great Sima.
Holding onto his last hope, Chen Sheng sent his nephew Wu Ping, Wu Ping, and Chen Xiao over to call for to send out their Tancheng, so that Qin Jia could send troops to report to the Duke.
But they didn’t know that once Wu Ping Jun reached the Tancheng, not only did he not summon Chen Sheng who had a lot of help, he was instead killed by Qin Jia with one slash. The reason was that Wu Pingjun and Qin Tong were enemies and had ordered to be executed on the spot, according to the law of the country!
Chen Sheng got his revenge, scolding endlessly, but he could not do anything about it.
Just as he was feeling desperate, a group of people appeared outside the city. It was the Big Son Mo Zhuang of the Mo family.
Ever since General Ping Nan, Deng Zong, was forced to death by Chen Sheng, the hearts of his troops had been thrown into chaos. Less than half of the huge army of a hundred thousand remained. The unique infant and old general Lv Chen was still guarding Ru Nan.
Most of the disciples from the Mo family with Wanzai Valley had gone with Yu Ziqi to the Nine Rivers. Ge Yang, with Deng Zong’s death, Zhang Chu Army was forced to retreat again and again. The Mo family disciples’ morale was low, thus Yu Ziqi returned to the Wanzai Valley.
When Mo Zhuang saw that Yu Ziqi had returned, he exclaimed, “Master sent you to help Chen Sheng, why are you back?” Yu Ziqi reported: “Chen Sheng’s army has been defeated like a mountain, everyone has left him, Zhang Chu cannot do anything. So this disciple has brought the brothers back. ”
Mo Zhuang flew into a rage when he heard that, “Since our Mo family is assisting the King of Chen, how can we go back on our words? If I were to abandon the King of Chen in times of danger, how would I have the face to be established in the world? ”
Yu Ziqi pursed his lips and argued: “If we do not leave, it would be equivalent to throwing our lives away.” Mo Zhuang laughed heartily: “In the past, the previous generation of Ju Zi Meng Sheng, committed suicide just to promise to protect the Feudal Fiefdom of the Sun City Lord, and to have one hundred and eighty disciples as their personal disciples. In order to obtain their trust in the world, it is appropriate for My Daughter to go through fire and water and not refuse to do anything. ”
When these words came out, the crowd of Wanzai Valley were in an uproar. Who would have thought that Mo Zhuang would want to learn the pedantic Meng Sheng and sacrifice his and his disciples’ lives for him?
The Mo family advocated for freedom of speech and speech, but they didn’t say anything. If anyone disagreed, they could do so. Someone then refuted: “Meng Sheng’s actions are obviously undesirable. It was his actions that led to the split of the Mo family’s faith, dividing it into three factions. It was not easy for our Mo family to become one, but the Ju Zi cannot repeat the same mistake, and become trapped in our nest. ”
Mo Zhuang said emotionally: “Qin Ting has already destroyed hundreds of families, if we do not take the tyrant over, our Mo family will not have a place to stand. My mind has already been made up. When I go to the Chencheng, I will live and die with the King of Chen. If any of you have any ulterior motives, you may stay here.
The Mo family was divided into two. There were those who harbored ulterior motives or were afraid of death, so they stayed in the Wanzai Valley. Another half of them were willing to follow Mo Zhuang to death, and Yu Ziqi and his sister were one of them.
Mo Zhuang led a thousand disciples to Chen City. These 1,000 people were like a cup of water and a cart of firewood to the 400,000 strong army of King Zhang Han. Chen Sheng did not have much hope for them. However, the status of the son of Mo Zhuang was so high that he had to receive him, so he set a banquet in the palace to help Mo Zhuang wash his dust.
During the banquet, there was the Minister of Civil and Martial Arts accompanying them. There were exotic delicacies on the table, and the song ‘Swallow Dance’ was added to their excitement. However, everyone could not bring themselves to do so. Thinking that Qin Army would arrive soon, and when the city was about to fall, there would never be another chance for them to enjoy life like this, causing everyone’s mood to wane.
Chen Sheng sighed as he held the wine: “If you want us to occupy Chen, Qi, and split up into four sides, the chariot will carry thousands of mounts, the army will number hundreds of thousands, and all will come together. Right General Zhou Wen broke through Hangu, and was only one step away from straight through using Xianyang, who would have thought that he would fall to such a state today! ”
When everyone in the banquet heard this, they could all see Qi Rong.
stood up and said, “Why should my king be disheartened? When we found out that I still had nine rivers and General Lv Chen was guarding the south of the country, we could summon the strong and make a comeback. ” Chen Sheng shook his head and laughed bitterly: “With the power of the Qin Army, I’m afraid that we will not be able to protect this land of nine rivers sooner or later.”
Then, one of them stood up, holding onto his wine, he beat his chest and sighed, looking extremely unrestrained: “My king should not have cut off my baby, forced Deng Zong to death, killed the fake king, and chilled the hearts of the generals to the point of losing their country today.”
The speaker turned out to be Shang Shu Kong Shen.
This Kung Chung is a native of Kung Chung, and he is the eighth grandchild of Confucius. His literary skills are excellent, and his theory of ancient and modern times are excellent. After Chen Sheng heard of your name, he asked for your help to help Dr. Zhang Chu State.
With a single word, the expressions of everyone in the audience changed. Kong Shen’s words, although it revealed the thoughts of everyone, but who dared to say a word about it in front of Chen Sheng?
Sure enough, Chen Sheng’s face turned red, he shouted out: “Drag that crazy bastard, who dares to speak nonsense to slander the oligarchs, and behead him!”
Then the Golden Cucumber Warriors dragged Kong Shen out of the palace. Confucius shouted, “You are too narrow-minded to let anyone go. How can you not turn your back on your loved ones? “If I die today, you will definitely follow in my footsteps.”
Chen Sheng was even more furious when he heard this, and shouted: “Beat that golden gourd to death, and drag it to the back garden to feed it to the dogs!”
Kong Shen scolded incessantly as he was dragged out of the palace. He then heard a miserable scream.
Now that the feast was like this, everyone was silent, not daring to make a single sound.
“This Chen Sheng was also a tyrant. My Mo family wanted to help the whole world, how could we entrust this person to you? This old man has sent all his disciples to assist him. Seeing that, Mo Zhuang shook his head, feeling extremely regretful.
Being scolded by Kong Shen, Chen Sheng lost all interest. He then asked: “If Qin Army soldiers reach this realm, I wonder which official’s family would be able to share their worries for the oligarch?” After asking twice, no one responded.
Chen Sheng looked at the officials and sighed: “All of you have been through thick and thin everyday, but I never expected that no one would be able to use it today!”
Once he finished, Cai Chang said in a clear voice, “This old official is willing to take up the mission to battle Zhang Han!”
Chen Sheng was surprised: “My Close Cai is a scholar, how can he lead troops to fight?” Cai Chang laughed: “This old one has received the kindness of the My King, so I will repay you with all my heart, only death awaits me.” Chen Sheng sighed: “If I were a great general, everyone would be like the My Close, why would a few of us end up like this.”
Everyone at the banquet revealed a look of shame.
Mo Zhuang got up and said: “This old man is willing to lead disciples to assist my lord in battle!” Chen Sheng nodded: “Ju Zi is righteous.
Thus, Chen Sheng took Shangzhu State as the commander, and on the next day, he took charge of the military field, leading his Chencheng and horses, and headed east to battle against Zhang Han’s army.
Chen Sheng sent Cai Chang out of the city five kilometers. That Chencheng only has forty thousand soldiers and horses, thinking of how it used to be when soldiers converged, Chen Sheng was very sad. That Cai Chang was so late in life, yet he had to lead an army of four hundred thousand to deal with the Qin State, and it was unknown whether he would still be able to survive or not. Chen Sheng pulled Cai Chang’s hand and couldn’t help but cry.
Cai Chang bade farewell and said: “If I can win with this one, then I will be able to free myself from my predicament as king. If this old official loses the battle, my Chencheng would be destroyed and the My King could go to Rennan to reform their troops. As long as My King is here, I, Zhang Chu, will have the day to make a comeback. ”
Mo Zhuang and the other Mo Family disciples came over to bid farewell to Chen Sheng as well.
Chen Sheng looked at Yu Zhiya’s beautiful appearance and became lost in thought. He asked: “Lady Yu teaches chess for the widows, why did she leave without saying anything?”
Yu Zhiya said indifferently: “The King is busy with government affairs, how can he bother with small matters like chess?”
Chen Sheng cautiously asked again, “Does this young lady remember the agreement between Lady Yu and the oligarch?” Yu Zhiya blushed and said: “Since the King has yet to accomplish anything, how can we talk about this?”
Chen Sheng was not disappointed. The hope of directly surmounting the Xianyang to the throne vanished, and he didn’t know if he would be able to live in this world. It seemed that this unparalleled beauty would not belong to him anymore.
Mo Zhuang asked curiously: “Zhiya, what agreement do you have with the King of Chen?”
Yu Zhiya shyly did not answer, but Chen Sheng took the initiative to say: The oligarch once made an agreement with Lady Yu, if he could take over the Xianyang, Lady Yu would be willing to be his concubine.
Mo Zhuang “Oh” said. “How could this old man not know about this? Zhi Ya, did you really say those words to King of Chen? ”
Yu Zhiya said with a stern face, “Zhiya has promised me that my future husband, if he is a hero that stands at the top of the world, can extend the great benefits under the heavens.
Mo Zhuang said quickly, and said: “You have such a wish, as expected of my disciple.”
Thus, Chen Sheng bid farewell with tears streaming down his face. Cai Chang led forty thousand troops and horses to Xu Cheng, which was east of the Chencheng.
The descendant of the poem laments: only the master of the house learned to be the best, and the King of Chen sought to call him father. Poor Chen Kai-Meng, he actually charged the troops in front of the battle formation.
When the army reached Changping (Northeast of today’s Henan Four Hua Counties), they saw a cloud of dust covering the sky in front of them.
Cai Chang said: “Is he trying to lure me over and seize me, Cao Yang?” Everyone said, “Yes.” Cai Chang bellowed: Who is going to take down this fellow and report the disgrace of Right General? Big Son Mo Zhuang stepped forward and said, “This old man will meet with this person.”
Thus, the army had risked their lives to form a formation. In a short while, he saw the black clothes and profound armor in front of him, which were all light riding on Qin Army.
A general took the lead, holding his spear as he loudly cursed: “Which grass bandit dares to block my way?” Cai Chang stepped out of the formation and raised his whip as he shouted, “Qin Ruo die, time of death is near, do you dare dismount and be subdued?”
Zhang Ling was infuriated, she patted her horse’s head and wanted to capture Cai Chang.
A person walked out of Zhang Chu Zhen’s formation, wearing a pair of shoes and with his back hunched, blocking Zhang Ling’s path. It was the Big Son Mo Zhuang of the Mo family.
Zhang Ling shouted, “You’re courting death!” He stabbed downwards with the spear.
Mo Zhuang’s foot pointed, and his body soared to the sky, right above Zhang Ling’s head. Zhang Ling missed her spear and felt something was wrong.
Mo Zhuang stepped on Zhang Ling’s head like a dragonfly on the surface of water, with a ‘kacha’ sound, the skull was split open, and Zhang Ling bled out from all seven orifices, as she reached the city of death.
Cai Chang pointed his whip forward, and said: “Kill!” Zhang Chu Army shouted in unison, and rushed out.
The General of the Qin Army was killed, he did not have the heart to fight, so he turned and left in a hurry.
Cai Chang had won and withdrew his troops, bringing his troops into Xu Cheng, all of the generals came over to celebrate. However, Cai Chang said worriedly: “How could little victories be enough? With Zhang Ling killed, Qin Army will definitely send an army, and there will be a bitter battle. ”
Just as she said that, a meteor scout came to report, that Ying Bu had arrived.
Upon hearing Ying Bu’s name, Cai Chang’s face changed. “I heard that he is brave and invincible, and that after he killed more than fifty of our generals in a row, Upper General Tian Zhang died in his hands.
Mo Zhuang stroked his beard and laughed: “This man is an expert of the martial arts world, ordinary martial artists are no match for him. Let this old man see exactly how powerful he is. ”
Earlier, Cai Chang had witnessed Mo Zhuang killing Zhang Ling with one move, and was very confident in him, hence he said happily: “Ju Zi is willing to make a move, this brat is not going to be as imposing as he is now.”
