Chapter 731

Fan Zeng woke up from the coma, and saw the faces of the Chu generals in the camp.

"Yafu, you finally woke up."

Xiang Shaoyu was very worried, gathered around the bed, and held Fan Zeng's hand.

The tent was very warm, with charcoal fire burning, but Fan Zeng, who had just woken up, still had something strange in his eyes.

Xiang Shaoyu and the generals of the Chu army carried a faint smell of blood.

"Zhao Shuang called?"

Faced with Fan Zeng's doubts, the generals of Chu lowered their heads.Only Xiang Shaoyu said calmly.

"We fought Zhao Xie."

"what!"

Fan Zeng wanted to sit up, but his weak body couldn't hold it up, and he couldn't stop coughing.

"Yafu, your health is important, don't worry about these things at this time."

Hearing Xiang Shaoyu's persuasion, Fan Zeng coughed more and more.It took a long time to calm down.

"Yu'er, you are confused!"

Fan Zeng didn't want to know the antecedent of this matter, anyway, he had already guessed it.

"How is Zhao Xie now?"

"Leaving with tens of thousands of remnants, it seems that they are going to return to Zhao."

Xiang Shaoyu wanted to explain, but at this moment Fan Zeng looked at the skylight at the top of the tent, his originally distracted gaze gradually gathered.

"No, Zhao Xie can't just leave like this."

"Yafu, what did you say?"

Everyone looked at Fan Zeng, but saw that his face was not as usual, rather indifferent.

"The situation is like this, so he can't be allowed to return to the Zhao country. Now that the land of Yan is in Zhao Shuang's hands, if Zhao Xie changes his attitude and joins Zhao Shuang's camp, it will be in mortal danger for us."

"But there is a deep hatred between Zhao Xie and Zhao Shuang, is it like this?"

Zhong Lixuan asked from the side, but the only answer to this question was affirmative.

"Will do!"

Fan Zeng said, knowing the current situation like the palm of his hand.

"Zhao Shuang is already the king, and he has much more chips in his hands than before. As long as he is willing to admit Zhao Xie's position as king, Zhao Xie will immediately vote for him when he is furious."

Fan Zeng's words became icy cold, and it was as if the people in the camp didn't know Fan Zeng.

"In Zhao Guozhong, apart from Zhao Xie, the most important people are Zhang Er and Chen Yu. As long as we get the support of the two of them, the situation will not be out of hand. Tell Xiang Ta, let him guard Baimajin, Don't let Zhao Xie cross the river. Yu'er, go and capture Zhao Xie yourself."

Xiang Shaoyu didn't hesitate after hearing this.He stood up and said aloud.

"Yafu, wait for my news."

Xiang Shaoyu picked up the Flame God Spear and was about to leave, but there was an urgent call from outside the tent.

"General, Puyang has fallen."

This sound was like thunder, causing the entire tent to explode.

Fan Zeng, who was originally in deep thought, no longer had the desire to lie down, and sat up with Zhong Lixuan's support.

"what happened?"

The captain of the Chu army who came to report looked at the weak Fan Zeng and was hesitating, but he heard him urge him to ask.

"Say it."

"Five thousand cavalry troops from the Qi Kingdom arrived in Puyang not long ago. The brothers didn't care at first, and distributed them food and grass according to the original rules. But they suddenly attacked the city gate and captured Puyang."

"Tian Rong?"

Puyang was the capital of the Wei State in the past, and now it is also an important town under the Chu State, hoarding supplies mobilized from the hinterland of the Chu State.

But why did Tian Rong attack the city controlled by Chu State at this time?

The weird incident made everyone in the tent silent, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

But soon, another urgent report came from outside.

"General, Baimajin has fallen!"

"what happened?"

The messy situation made Xiang Shaoyu extremely irritable, and he couldn't grasp the situation at all.

"The army of the empire seized Baimajin when General Xiang Ta was confronting Zhao Xie, and then five thousand riders attacked our army and Zhao army from the side. Our army and Zhao army were defeated. General Xiang Ta and King Zhao did not know trace."

Fan Zeng coughed louder.

"Zhao Shuang's Huben army has been in Yangdi, and there is no sign of mobilization. Our army has sentry around Xingyang and along the river. Where did the five thousand horses come from?"

"I don't know, I only know that the five thousand riders came from the direction of Puyang, and they were all under the banner of the Qi army."

Fan Zeng's complexion changed drastically, and at this time a third urgent report came from outside the tent.

"General, King Qi is leaving with his army."

Fan Zeng sat up at this time, his face became hard compared to before.

"Jibei County must have changed for this to happen."

……

"The widow treats him well, and brother Wang treats him well, but he betrayed our country of Qi and instigated the defenders of Jibei County to betray the widow."

Tian Rong was very angry and cursed.

"Wei Ci is a bastard, the widow must cut him into pieces."

Just scolding cannot relieve hatred, Tian Rong can't wait to rush to Jibei County immediately and tear Wei Ci's body into thousands of pieces.

But at this time, he could only wander around in the tent.

"My lord, Fan Zeng is here."

Tian Rong temporarily extinguished the anger in his heart and waved his hand.

"Let him in."

Tian Rong knew about the entanglement between Zhao Jun and Chu Jun. At the beginning, he was a little gloating, but now, the flames reached his eyebrows.

Fan Zeng walked in with a cane, supported by Zhong Lixuan, and was about to salute when Tian Rong stopped him.

"It doesn't have to be."

Fan Zeng was very weak, as if he would collapse if the wind blew, but his eyes were still sharp.

"King Qi, what happened in Jibei County?"

Fan Zeng is very clear that the situation has changed dramatically, and it is inseparable from Jibei County.

But after all, it is the territory of Qi State, and no one knows the situation in Jibei better than Tian Rong at this time.

"A subject of the widow, he betrayed the widow and instigated all the guards in Jibei to surrender to Zhao Shuang. At this time, the rebels in Jibei and the reinforcements from the empire had reached [-]. If the widow doesn't return, I'm afraid Qi The country will perish."

When Fan Zeng heard this, he gradually understood that his plan to make King Qi suspend the return of aid might not come true.

In the end, Fan Zeng bowed his hands.

"Puyang and Baima have also fallen into the hands of the empire. King Qi's journey may not be smooth, please take care."

Once Puyang was lost and Tian Rong wanted to return for help, the nearest road was blocked, so he had to detour back to Linzi and make plans.

"Thank you sir!"

Tian Rong returned a salute.

A gust of wind blew and stirred the somewhat flustered camp.

Supported by Zhong Lixuan, Fan Zeng walked out of King Qi's camp.Fan Zeng didn't leave just then, but stood in the center of the camp, looking at the Qi soldiers who were busy around him, he couldn't help but sighed.

"Amazing!"

"Yafu, what did you say?"

"The person sent by Zhao Shuang!"

Zhong Lixuan didn't know what Fan Zeng was talking about at this time, but he could hear the sadness in Fan Zeng's words.

"Zhao Shuang has been in Xingyang City all the time, watching all this and the collapse of the alliance. Now, what should we do?"

Fan Zeng had no idea, but in this noisy environment, he heard the last news of the day.

"Yafu, there is an urgent battle report ahead."

Zhong Lizhen was beside him and asked.

"what happened?"

"Han Xin led an army of 20 out of Shouchun, and the striker has arrived in Pengcheng."

"Han Xin only has 5 horses, where did the 20 come from?"

Zhong Lixuan asked eagerly beside him.

"Many of them are soldiers from various places, as well as recruits he trained."

"It's just a bunch of rabble, Yafu, don't worry."

Zhong Lixuan was beside him comforting him, he could see that Fan Zeng's face was getting paler and paler.He stared at the person in front of him, and asked.

"How's the battle over there?"

Fan Zeng knew that if it was just an improvised army, it would be absolutely impossible to reach Pengcheng.

The person who came to report hesitated, but finally spoke out.

"General Longqie's Tenglong Legion fought against him, and the entire army was wiped out."

Fan Zeng's complexion suddenly changed sharply, from blue to white, and finally spat out a mouthful of blood, his breath was weak.

"Zhao Shuang!"

On the side, a figure hidden in the darkness watched this scene, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he left here.

……

In the dark camp, there were faint lights flickering.

Yingbo sat on the position of the general, with a big box in front of him.

In the camp, there are a group of generals of Yingbu sitting.

The atmosphere in the camp was very awkward. Everyone kept wanting to ask what was in the big box, but Yingbo never said anything.

Finally, he spoke up.

"You all know the current situation. The coalition forces are scattered, Fan Zeng is seriously ill, and we are in danger."

Listening to Yingbo's words, the generals noticed something unusual.

"Some of you are old people who have followed me in the state of Chu, some of you are brothers I met in exile who have gone through hardships, and some of you are friends who resisted the tyranny of the empire together, so I will not hide it from you."

Ying Bu waved his hand, and the cronies on both sides opened the box.

"Here is the reward edict given to you by Zhao Shuang. I read it, and you can read it too."

After Yingbo said this, the generals stood up, walked to the box, took the copper bone scroll with his name on it, and opened it.

However, compared to the attractive rewards above, the one who was more sober among the crowd still asked.

"Zhao Shuang treats me like he is in charge, and even knows how many children are in my family?"

The hereditary is irreplaceable!

Compared with the big bright characters on the copper bone scroll, everyone was more frightened by the terrifying power revealed behind the scroll in their hands.

"I'm not going to hide it from you brothers. I plan to raise troops tonight and join Zhao Shuang. If you brothers don't want to, I won't force you. You can take your soldiers and horses and leave separately. After that, if you want to stand on your own Well, if you want to tell Xiang Shaoyu, I won't stop you."

At this point in Yingbu's words, all the generals touched the heavy copper bone scroll in their hands, and none of them left here in the end.

"Willing to listen to the general!"

Holding the double ax in his hands, Ying Bu said.

"In this way, we will work together to seek a fortune. Raise troops and attack the coalition camp."

……

Wei Jun camp.

The tranquility of the night was replaced by the noise, and Wei Bao woke up from his deep sleep, pale with shock.

"what's going on?"

No one can answer Wei Bao's question, because even his cronies don't know what happened?
"My lord, there are imperial troops in all directions."

A group of Wei officials gathered around Wei Bao, but they could only see that the Wei army camp was surrounded by enemies, but they didn't know how such a scene happened?
You know, according to the original deployment, the Wei army will only face the [-] Huben army in the direction of Yingchuan County, and the other directions are all allied troops.

But now, it's not like that at all.

Today's situation is too complicated.Wei Bao could only make the simplest but most effective orders.

"Let Peng Yue come to the rescue with reinforcements."

"Your Majesty, I have sent people to ask for help as early as the beginning, but now, no reinforcements have arrived."

"What exactly happened?"

Wei Bao was very puzzled, but saw a black cavalry force rushing into the camp of the Chinese army amidst the night fire.

The tall war horse and the knight in full armor and holding a long lance exuded cold air and killing intent in the dark night, and wiped out all obstacles that blocked them.

"Tiger Army!"

Wei Bao yelled in horror, and hurriedly fled here under the protection of his personal guards.

……

"General Peng Yue, what are you waiting for, go and save the king!"

Wei Bao's envoy urged him eagerly.

But Peng Yue was playing with the jade bone scroll in his hand, taking his time to wind it up unhurriedly.

"hold on!"

"But your majesty can't wait for long. When I came, the enemy army had captured the camp around the main tent of the Chinese army."

"That's why we have to wait."

A soft sound made the messenger confused.

Situ Wanli walked in, stabbed the messenger's body with a dagger, covered his mouth, and took his life silently.

The tent became bloody in an instant, but Peng Yue didn't blame him, it was still the same as before.

Situ Wanli looked at the jade bone scroll in Peng Yue's hand, seeming to complain.

"The general seems to have won the position, but I only got the silver bone scroll."

Peng Yue didn't care, he just said.

"The guards of Jibei County are rebellious, and there are also members of the Tian family. Now Tian Heng is leading the defenders of Qi State to attack day and night, and Tian Rong hastily rushed back. This jade bone scroll is not so easy to get. .What does Your Majesty want me to do?"

Situ Wanli noticed the change of Zhao Shuang's address in Peng Yue's words, and said slowly.

"Now that Tian Rong is in a hurry to return to Qi, it is an excellent time to attack from behind. If the general has made great achievements, the weight of this jade bone scroll will be even heavier than it is now."

Peng Yue put away the jade bone scroll in his hand and said.

"it is good!"

……

The morning light was faint, and when the sun shone on the top of Xingyang City, Zhao Shuang was watching it.

In the distance, there was a well-organized camp of the coalition forces, but it has now become disintegrated.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Chen Ping's voice came from the side, full of joy.

"The old thief Fan Zeng died. My people watched him die last night."

Zhao Shuang still looked ahead and didn't look back.

"Once Fan Zeng dies, the Chu army has nothing to fear. You have done a good job."

"Thank you, King."

Zhao Shuang waved his hand, and the subordinates at the side came over.

"Let Li Xin take charge of Zhao, join forces with Taiyuan Army and Yan Army, and destroy Chen Yu. Then let Han Xin go north from Pengcheng, join Peng Yue, and destroy Qi. Let Yingbu join forces with Li Zuoche to capture Suiyang. "

"Your Majesty is really wise, but who will deal with the Chu army?"

Chen Ping thought that Zhao Shuang would personally lead the army, but he just smiled.

"The trapped beast is still fighting, you must first build the shackles that bind the beast!"
