Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 457

Chapter 456: Pengcheng on the verge of arrows

According to Li Rubing's original plan, he sent troops south to attack Chu State on the first day of July in the 23rd year of Qianyuan, and tried to solve Chu State before winter. The arousal of the conflict between the generals prompted Li Rubing to postpone the time of marching, and wait until the civil war in Chu country broke out before sending troops.

But in Pengcheng, the capital of Chu State, a civil war was imminent. Long after Zhang Di’s funeral, the court of Chu State was arguing about who would succeed Zhang Di as the general and take over the military power. At first, it was just lip service. However, with the assassination of Yu Zilong, this contradiction was instantly put on the table. After Yu Zilong was assassinated, another candidate for the general, Chen Feng, was also assassinated several times. Fortunately, it did not appear. What's the situation, but Yu Zilong and Chen Feng were assassinated one after another, making the conflict between the two parties irreconcilable.

Pengcheng Palace, in the side hall of Bawang Hall, Xiang Kuang, King of Chu, looked at Chen Ding and Chen Feng with a gloomy face. The current Pengcheng can be said to be full of battle clouds. After Yu Zilong and Chen Feng were assassinated one after another, the two sides have already At the point where the arrows are on the verge of breaking out, a civil war will erupt immediately if there is a slight misuse of the gun. Xiang Kuang can't believe it when he sees the state of Chu become like this.

"Is General Chen okay?" Xiang Kuang asked Chen Feng. Chen Feng was launched by Xiang Kuang and Chen Ding to compete with Yu Zilong for military power. Assassination, Xiang Kuang is the most nervous person.

Chen Feng shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is concerned, and I am fine. Thanks to the desperate protection of the family soldiers, I am afraid that I will not be able to talk to the King anymore!"

Hearing that Chen Feng had no major problems, Xiang Kuang also breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Chen Feng: "General Chen, are you sure the people over there did this?" Yu Zilong and Chen Feng were assassinated one after another, although outside All the rumors are saying that it was done this time, but there is no conclusive evidence.

However, Chen Feng nodded his head and said: "I can be sure, although the people who assassinated the minister yesterday covered their faces, it can be confirmed from their skills that they are members of the army, and they are also elite in the army. Apart from Chen and General Jiang Zi, only Yu Zilong and the Zhang family are able to mobilize such elites in the entire Great Chu, and they have always believed that the mastermind behind the assassination of Yu Zilong is the minister, so they have this motivation and this strength!"

"Damn it!" Xiang Kuang cursed secretly when he heard the words, and then asked Chen Feng again: "General Chen, the people who assassinated Yu Zilong were people from all sides? Could it be people from Zhao and Deng?" Chen Feng's person can be identified, but who the person who assassinated Yu Zilong in the first place is still a mystery until now.

Speaking of this, Chen Feng sighed and said: "To tell you the truth, the person who assassinated Yu Zilong was one of my servants, but I didn't know about it beforehand, but the matter has already happened, so it's pointless to pursue it further! "

"Is it yours?" Xiang Kuang frowned when he heard that Chen Feng admitted that the person who assassinated Yu Zilong was his, and asked angrily, "Why is this? Why did they do this? Just to help Has General Chen won the position of General?" Xiang Kuang was not only a little angry, but also a little scared, he never thought that Chen Feng's subordinates would be so crazy that they would assassinate Chu in order to make Chen Feng sit as a general. The meritorious generals of Guofu, if one day Chen Feng wanted the throne of Chu, would they dare to kill the king for Chen Feng?Thinking of this, Xiang Kuang suddenly had a different view of Chen Feng.

Chen Feng was also aware of Xiang Kuang's dissatisfaction, so he replied tremblingly: "Go back to the king, I have already reprimanded them, and they also know the seriousness of the matter, but the king, if Yu Zilong and the Zhang family assassinate the minister, you will Handing them over to Yu Zilong may be able to ease the situation, but now that the two sides have fought each other, it doesn't make any sense to hand over people or not to hand over people. Besides, it's time to employ people. If you hand over people, I'm afraid it will be cold Your Majesty, please be careful about the hearts of the soldiers!"

Although Chen Feng was aware of Xiang Kuang's dissatisfaction, he didn't know that what Xiang Kuang was really dissatisfied with was the audacity of Chen Feng's men. So, after all, with the death of Zhang Di, the military power of the Chu State is now in the hands of Yu Zilong, Chen Feng, and Jiang Zi. The most powerful person in Chu State.

Xiang Kuang waved his hand and said: "General Chen, don't worry too much. I don't mean that. The people under you are just eager to protect the Lord. I can understand it. But the situation is tense now. You have to restrain them and never come out again." What's the situation, as for Yu Zilong, the widow and Prime Minister Chen will think of a way, you should step back first!"

"Here!" After hearing Xiang Kuang's words, Chen Feng also heaved a sigh of relief, and then backed away in response!

After Chen Feng left, Chen Ding, who was silent at the side, was covered in cold sweat. Chen Feng didn't understand what Xiang Kuang meant, but Chen Ding could hear it clearly. Xiang Kuang had a crush on Chen Feng. Be wary, to be precise, be wary of Chen Feng's men, because they are really crazy.

At the same time, Yu Zilong also came to the Zhang family, which is the residence of the late General Zhang Di of Chu, and found Zhang Di's two sons, Zhang Xun and Zhang Hai. When he saw them, Yu Zilong asked : "Sent someone to assassinate Chen Feng, did you two do it?"

Zhang Xun was confused when he heard the words, and said: "Uncle, it has nothing to do with us. Since my father passed away, my brother and I have been staying in the mansion and have not gone out!" Zhang Xun was the first to deny that the pot was too big. He really can't afford it, and there's no need to do it!

But Zhang Xun is okay, but Zhang Hai stood up and replied: "Uncle, I sent someone to assassinate Chen Feng, I did this!"

After hearing Zhang Hai's words, Zhang Xun, as the elder brother, was also very shocked, and asked, "What! You sent someone to assassinate General Chen Feng? Second brother, you have been staying in the mansion with Wei brother, you are How did you send someone?"

Zhang Hai looked at the cute brother in front of him, he couldn't help sighing and said: "Actually, I secretly contacted my father's old department, everyone was arranged by them!"

"Why did you do this?" Yu Zilong didn't care how Zhang Hai contacted people outside and then sent people to assassinate Chen Feng. He only cared about why Zhang Hai sent people to assassinate Chen Feng.

Zhang Hai replied: "Back to uncle, the reason why I did this is to fight for the position of general for uncle, and to avenge uncle. Since Chen Feng can send someone to assassinate uncle, why should I Can't you send someone to assassinate Chen Feng?"

"Confused!" After hearing Zhang Hai's rebuttal, Yu Zilong cursed angrily, and said: "Who assassinated me? There is no conclusion until now. How can it be proved that Chen Feng sent someone to do it? Besides, Even if I want to get the position of Great General again, I must be upright and upright, and I will never use these unscrupulous methods!" Yu Zilong asked himself that he was an upright person, competing for the position of Great General, and each of them relied on their strength to assassinate those who could not get on the stage. Yes, he didn't bother to do it.

Zhang Hai said: "The person who assassinated my uncle was one of Chen Feng's people. I have already sent someone to investigate this matter. The person who assassinated my uncle was sent by a general under Chen Feng. It has nothing to do with it!" As for the assassination of Yu Zilong, Zhang Hai actually sent people to investigate it, and the result was that the person who assassinated Yu Zilong was sent by Chen Feng's general, so Zhang Hai believed it It must have something to do with Chen Feng.

"Uncle, what should we do now?" Zhang Xun asked Yu Zilong, who was dazed and cute. Now that the two sides have put the conflict on the table, there may be no room for relaxation.

Yu Zilong thought for a while, then sighed, and said, "The matter has come to this, we can only act in danger, Xun'er, you should transfer your family away from Pengcheng immediately, don't let anyone find out!"

"Here! I'll do it now!" Zhang Xun responded, and then went out to make arrangements.

After Zhang Xun left, Yu Zilong looked at Zhang Hai thoughtfully, and said, "Hai'er, take my warrant and go gather your cronies in the city, and wait for my order to attack Chen Ding, Chen Feng, and Jiang Zisan." People's mansion, as long as we kill these three people, then no one can stop us, if we fail, we will leave Pengcheng immediately, relying on the soldiers and horses in our hands. Let's save our lives first!"

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now!" Zhang Hai also knew that his act of sending someone to assassinate Chen Feng had further exacerbated the already tense situation, prompting Yu Zilong to take this risky move, so he responded and hurriedly went down to make arrangements .

After Zhang Hai left, Yu Zilong looked up at the sky and murmured: "The rain is coming, big brother, did you ever think that today would be here when you left? The Great Chu you have worked so hard to maintain has come to this point after all. I don’t know how you would feel if you knew about it?”
