A Step Into The Past: I Am Han Xin - C164
In these past few days, the hearts of the hundreds of thousands of people in Handan City were like a bucket of water, tossed and turned, and they were unable to calm down.
First was the rebellion of General Li Liang, causing a bloodbath in the city. Then, a disciple of the Immortal Dao Realm appeared out of nowhere. He claimed to be a descendant of Periventricular Chamber and wanted to revive the Zhou royal family who had already passed the test.
After going through the bloodbath in the imperial court, Li Liang used lightning to suppress the officials, and helped Immortal Path disciple Ji Feng to ascend to the position of the Son of Heaven. Fortunately, the young emperor seemed to be wise and wise. After he ascended the throne, the imperial court announced that all the officials were in their own positions. So what were they doing? and using a gentle method, not only did he not punish the death of the Right Prime Minister Shao Sao, but he also praised him for his loyalty and promoted him to the position of the Handan’s County Governor. Cheng He, the doctor who had strongly opposed him as Emperor, was promoted to senior doctor. The officials gave each of them a hundred pieces of silk, each worth a hundred gold.
On the surface, these old officials of Wu Chen were shouting fiercely against the revival Periventricular Chamber, but after truly tasting the sweetness, they did not say a word and continued to act happily as officials of the Great Zhou.
However, that worry had not been dispelled. If the heirs of the world were to hear of a son of heaven rising from the ground, how could they tolerate it? They would definitely go after him. At that time, it would be inevitable for all sides to get involved, but he didn’t know if this tiny Handan City would be able to protect him.
Worry followed. Great General Chen Yu and the old general Wu Chen had formed an alliance, while Swallow King Han Guang had sent out his Upper General. The two armies had a total of more than a hundred thousand, and their killing intent surged as they rushed towards Handan.
The commoners didn’t have as many thoughts as those doctors did. It didn’t matter who was the emperor or the king, as long as they could live and work in peace and keep their families safe. As soon as they heard that there was a fight, there was no need to panic, for fear that the city would be lost and would be attacked by the flames of war.
Fortunately, the little emperor still had some ability, she had first repelled Chen Yu’s allied army, and then she heard that the Yan Army did not dare to invade, so she only camped outside the city. The hanging hearts of the people in the city began to settle. To that brave and battle-loving little emperor, there was still a bit of respect and worship in his heart, and he had become everyone’s idol.
The little emperor’s kung fu was peerless and his character was outstanding. Those girls who had yet to leave the pavilion all became the little emperor’s pursuers. Every day, they would talk about him and dream about him to win the little emperor’s favor and become his concubines. However, he also heard that the little Emperor had a very high opinion of him, and wanted to make a beautiful girl as beautiful as a fairy to be his future Queen. Everyone had seen that girl before, so his looks couldn’t be compared with hers. The girls had no choice but to give up their reliance on her. It was unknown just how many of them shed tears of sadness.
What happened next stunned everyone even more: an unknown giant bird flew out from the clouds and swallowed the idol, the little Emperor, into its belly. Everyone began to suspect the arrival of a demon. Regardless of whether it was the government official doctor, city guards or the commoners, they all rushed out of the city to escape. With such a huge Handan City, it was now like the void in ten chambers of heaven.
Strange things happened one after another. The idol, the little emperor, who had been devoured by the giant bird, appeared alive once again in front of everyone. He even said that the demon had been chased away by him.
How big was that monster? How fierce was this? The little emperor was just an ordinary person. If even the gaps in the teeth of that giant bird weren’t enough, how could he defeat it? Everyone began to have doubts about the identity of the little emperor. He just didn’t dare to say it, and there was nowhere else to go. So he could only return to the Handan and settle down.
Everyone originally thought that they would finally be able to calm down and breathe a sigh of relief. Who would have known that another piece of news would come from the palace? The little Emperor hadn’t returned to the city yet, and his whereabouts were unknown!
According to others, the little emperor had ignored everyone and gone alone to pursue his future queen to a forest. But after a night passed, he still hadn’t returned.
The personal guards of the little emperor were being questioned by the court officials. Why didn’t they go with His Majesty? The janissaries felt wronged and replied, “If His Majesty flies over the crane and leaves, how are we supposed to follow him?” His martial arts are unrivalled, and he alone is enough to take care of Chen Yu’s hundred war generals.
Some officials asked His Majesty why he wanted to chase after the future empress? Everyone said, “That empress has the appearance of a Heavenly Immortal and has fled with her lover. If it were me, I would also be reluctant to part with her and chase after her. ”
When the news spread, the entire Handan City was in turmoil, and many people were discussing.
Some said that the giant bird had come back and eaten the little Emperor; some said that the future Empress and his lover had plotted against the little Emperor; some said that Yan Army was lying in ambush outside the city and had captured the little Emperor; and some said that he had been assassinated by the assassins sent by Young Master Su. Everyone had their own guesses.
One of the most astounding discussions came from the palace guards. That little emperor Yun was a monster.
That person had seen suppressing the Prime Minister in the flower garden before, and said: “Initially, the Prime Minister wanted to welcome Young Noble Zhao and rest, but the little Emperor took out a small fiery red flag and took him as his master, agreeing to take him as his emperor. The little Emperor could defeat demons only because he was a monster himself. Where did the demons go? Who knows? ”
Everyone had long suspected the identity of the little emperor. Hearing these words, the discussion spread far and wide, and spread throughout the entire Handan City. The result was another wave of panic.
Without a ruler in this country, how could he form a country? The little Emperor did not have a concubine and no children, so no one could inherit his Great Zhou Empire. The county governor of Handan, Sima Yang, who was in charge of guarding the city, and the senior doctor, Cheng Zhi, calculated and said that the emperor had been set up by the Prime Minister, Li Liang, and should have asked the Prime Minister to lead the troops back to the city and discuss the countermeasures.
When the Prime Minister Li Liang received the news, he was shocked. He immediately withdrew his troops and returned to the city. He then sent a large group of people to search around the forest where Ji Feng was.
After searching for three days and three nights, he searched through the surrounding hundred kilometers of the forest, but he could not find any trace of Ji Feng. The soldier reported that he had found the corpse of a monster on a hill at the end of the forest.
This time, it was even more out of the ordinary. Both the outside and the inside of the court were in an uproar. The appearance of the monster corpses on the ground confirmed that Ji Feng was a demon.
The hundred officials’ suspicions focused on the Prime Minister Li Liang, and they asked him if he knew of Ji Feng’s origins.
Li Liang understood clearly, and was inwardly annoyed that Ji Feng had suddenly disappeared, leaving this mess to him. However, he couldn’t say that he had established a Devil Lord as his emperor, so he could only evade the topic by saying that he didn’t know where he came from. How could these officials be willing to comply? They all accused him of establishing an unknown origin. Whether he was a human or a demon, he did not even know his intentions. There were even people who came up with old debts and scolded him for not having done his duty by killing Wu Chen.
Just as everything was in a complete mess, the Scout came to report. Yun Che who was initially stationed at the main camp did not dare to accept the challenge, but after hearing about the chaos in the city, he took the chance to break out of his camp and attack the city.
Li Liang did not bother to explain to the other officials anything as he quickly closed the city gates. He built the structures at the top of the city walls and assigned the men to guard against Yan Army’s attacks on the city gates.
Just as he finished setting up the city’s defenses, he received another thousand kilometer meteor report. Yun Hedong Marshal Li Zuoche, with fifty thousand troops, followed by Chen Yu’s men, charged straight for the Handan City.
It turned out that the former Prime Minister of The Left, Zhang Er, who had been forced to leave the formation two days ago, did not return to camp after losing. With him leading the way, Chen Yu and the other Zhao State generals joined Zhao Xie. People of Zhao said that their young master was resting and wanted to come over, so they all responded. There was not a single place to stop him along the way. Li Zuoche’s army covered everything, like a thousand miles of flat plains.
Li Liang was shocked upon hearing the news. This time, without Master Ji Feng holding the line, two enemy armies attacking from the north and south, the people of the city were in turmoil, how could they fight like this?
At this time, he regretted not keeping his promise and did not accept Zhao Xie as his king. If they still wanted to go to him, with Zhang Er and the rest who hated him to the bones, how could they be willing to accept him?
Moreover, Master Ji Feng was like a yellow crane, who knows where he went. If he were to suddenly come back and see me donating his mountain and river to someone else, how can he forgive me?
Li Liang was at a loss on what to do.
When the civilians and soldiers in the city heard that their young master was coming, they all jumped in joy. The original soldiers of the Handan all took off their uniforms, threw away their weapons and ran off as civilians. There were even those who had ulterior motives who wanted to surrender before Li Zuoche’s army arrived, so that they could achieve great things in front of their new master. Even the main group of Li Liang scolded him when they heard that he had made a demon as his emperor. They blamed him for breaking his promise to everyone and not Zhao Xie.
Right now, he was completely different from the situation back then when Li Liang was killing his way through the rebellion. He had already become a target of a thousand, and would probably send out a cold arrow or brick from who knows where on the streets.
Li Liang thought about it again and again. His Zhao State had already lost its reputation, there was no place for him to stand. When the soldiers heard that the Zhao family was king, they did not have any fighting spirit. Thus, he abandoned the city, led his subordinates, opened the west gate, and surrendered Qin State.
If he did not rush to go, he would leave the problem of him in the hands of the ministers who were scolding Li Liang in the temple.
Li Liang would follow him as long as he went, the city guards only had less than five thousand left, how would they defend against the ten times more Yan Army enemies?
County Governor Sima Yang, Senior Doctor Cheng Zhi, and Grand Elder Feng Jian, along with other ministers, were gathered in County Governor Manor, feeling terrified.
They were all people from Zhao, and in their hearts, they wished for Zhao Xie to become king. However, even though Li Zuoche’s army was five hundred li away, his Yan Army was close by.
It was said that the Yan General Cang Tu was extremely courageous and had once fought tigers with his bare hands. Everyone in the Military Advisor Kuai Tong knew that Yan Army was resourceful. However, the city was poorly guarded, and the people’s hearts were in chaos. It seemed that the city could not be protected. At that time, the Zhao State and Handan would fall into the hands of the Swallow King’s Han Guang.
Unexpectedly, when the Yan Army reached the city walls, they did not attack the city and only symbolically set up camp to surround the northern city. He sent a shooter to shoot a letter nailed to the top of the city gate.
It turned out that the second strongest disciple of the Zong Heng Clan, Kui Tong, had already revealed the true strength of the’s Handan City from his mouth, so he took out his “Thousand Mile” methods and wrote a letter to persuade the people of the city to surrender.
The letter of persuasion had first scolded Li Liang for plotting against him, and before the civil and military officials of the imperial court could fight against him, they had actually colluded with him. Then, he recalled the Martial King’s kindness. As he wrote this, tears streamed down his cheeks. He then praised the Swallow King Han Guang for his martial prowess and brilliance. If Yun Qun followed the Swallow King, he would definitely be able to protect his wealth. If not, the Handan would be stomped flat, and the jade would be destroyed together. It could be said that he had done his best to coerce others into doing so.
Kui Tong was completely aware that capturing the Handan City was as easy as flipping his hand. How could this high-level disciple of his, who had walked out of the Ashram of Guigu, let go of such an opportunity? He only wished that he could persuade the city to surrender and give his all without spending a single soldier. Wouldn’t that show more of his abilities? Thus, he ordered the Yan Army to temporarily pause the siege, waiting for the city to accept his response. However, he knew that this thought caused him to regret it endlessly in the future.
As expected, the ministers in charge of Handan City were moved after receiving the letter from Kui Tong. Then, the thought of surrendering to the Yan Army arose in someone’s mind. But with the right Prime Minister Shao Sao, who had been beaten to death with a single punch by Sima Yang, as an example, no one dared to take the lead and agree, as they carried the notoriety of “traitor” on their backs.
Just as they were looking at each other in dismay, a soldier came to report that a man and a woman were coming from the south gate. They were the missing Little Emperor, future Queen Yu Zhiya, and her lover, Han Xin. Just as he was knocking on the door outside the city …
All of the officials were stunned, “The little emperor, Ji Feng, who doesn’t know whether he’s human or demon, is chasing after the two of them. The two of them actually have the guts to come back!”
Sima Yang asked: “What did they say?” The person replied: That Han Xin said he is following Young Noble’s orders and is here to assist the troops and horses in defending the city to defend against the Yan Army.
Tai Shi Feng Jian was overjoyed, and said, “Upon hearing that Han Xin is such a prodigy, Martial King wanted to invite him to be our marshal and hand over the entire nation’s army to him to command. This time, he was here at exactly the right time. “Quick, invite him in!”
The readers will be curious as to where our male students, Han Huaichu and Unparalleled Beauty, have gone to these past few days.
The author’s answer will probably make everyone indignant.
The two of them didn’t go anywhere. They stayed on the hillside for three days and three nights without moving.
He had to start from the Law Ring that had returned to the west.
It turned out that the reckless Law Ring had replied to the Master and had left in a hurry, she had actually forgotten one important thing — — the method to resolve the two of them.
Thus, the man with pig feet, Han Huaichu and the Unparalleled Beauty, stood motionlessly like this in the cold wind for three days and three nights.
During these three days and three nights, the soldiers that Li Liang had sent to search the mountain slope had already been searched thoroughly, but no one knew that the future queen they were looking for and her lover were these two round and fragile poplar trees.
There was also a flock of crows, chirping as they settled on the two poplar trees, unceremoniously pooping a head. “It doesn’t matter if these beasts who don’t know how to care for women dirty our male pig feet Han Huai Chu, but it’s a sin to make that goddess-like beauty stink all over his head!
