Former Qin Fengyun

Just when the people of Qin State rejoiced because of Fu Jian's move, bad news came from Bingzhou that Zhang Ping, the governor of Bingzhou, surrendered to Jin State, and everyone in the court cursed him.Because this person had surrendered to Qin State and Yan State respectively, and was in a semi-independent state, but Qin State treated him well, so he would have surrendered to Jin State again.

Fu Jian immediately said to Deng Qiang: "General Deng, you are appointed as the forward guard and lead five thousand cavalry to destroy the rebels."

Deng Qiang saluted and said yes.

Zhang Ping, who was standing on the copper wall and learned that Deng Qiang led the troops, couldn't help but change his face, and his adopted son Zhang Hao said unconvincedly: "Father, Deng Qiang is nothing to worry about!"

Zhang Ping, who was still frowning, said: "Deng Qiang is the number one general in Qin, so don't take it lightly."

Zhang Hao said disdainfully: "Could it be that in the eyes of the father, the child is not as good as Deng Qiang?"

Zhang Ping looked at Zhang Hao, who was tall and strong, and said, "Alright, you lead eight thousand troops to fight against Deng Qiang. Remember, don't be impulsive!"

The elated Zhang Hao said with a smile, "Father please wait for the good news!" Then he turned and left.Zhang Ping, who was both worried and happy, was left behind.

When Deng Qiang led his troops to Fenshui, he suddenly saw thick smoke billowing in front of him and immediately ordered: "Stop advancing, and strengthen vigilance!"

After half a stick of incense, I saw Zhang Hao leading his troops to Deng Qiang.Deng Qiang looked at the black-faced man in front of him and asked, "Who is here?"

Zhang Hao replied loudly: "Zhang Ping's son Zhang Hao!" After speaking, he raised his weapon and fought with Deng Qiang.The armies on both sides are at their swords and ready to wait for the command of the general at any time.Because Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao are both fierce generals, this battle was turned upside down.

After the two played a hundred rounds, Zhang Hao gradually fell to the bottom.Deng Qiang was overjoyed when he saw this, and fought harder.But he thought that he would be finished in only twenty rounds, but the result was disappointing.Zhang Hao is as strong as an ox and has a strong hand, so it is difficult to take his life in a short time.Therefore, Deng Qiang had a plan in mind.He made a feint, pretending to be defeated.

Zhang Hao, who had no hope of winning, was overjoyed when he saw this, and chased after him without thinking.When he immediately caught up with Deng Qiang, Deng Qiang suddenly turned around and stabbed Zhang Haoqi's throat with the weapon in his hand.Zhang Hao dodged quickly, but because Deng Qiang moved too fast, his left arm was pierced by Deng Qiang's weapon.In desperation, Zhang Hao endured the pain and urged his troops to retreat to Fenshui County.

Deng Qiang took advantage of the situation and pursued.However, due to the small number of people, they could not break through the city, so they had to lead their troops to garrison outside the city.And Zhang Hao, who was seriously injured, shouted after the bandage was finished: "Deng Qiang, you are actually stabbing someone in the back! After I recover from the injury, I will cut the child into pieces!"

After hearing the battle report ahead, Fu Jian and his officials were all overjoyed. Wang Meng came out to salute and said, "Heavenly King, since Zhang Hao is injured, it is a good time to exterminate Zhang Ping."

Fu Jian immediately understood Wang Meng's intention, and wanted to take this opportunity to make him shine, and everyone in Qin State would be pleased and submit to him.So, he said with a smile: "What Aiqing said is true. I wonder which general wants to go with me?"

All the generals in the DPRK and China were very enthusiastic.But when Fu Jian saw that there was Lu Guang, the son of Lu Polou, he said to himself: "Lu Polou has kindness and widows, and he recommended Wang Meng for merit." General Yingyang, go out with the army."

The young and energetic Lu Guang immediately smiled and saluted to thank Fu Jian, and his father Lu Polou was also very grateful to Fu Jian.

Fu Jian also said: "When the widow is not in the capital, all affairs in the court will be temporarily handled by Li Aiqing and Wang Aiqing."

Li Wei and Wang Meng saluted and said yes.

Then Fu Jian stood up and said, "Thirty thousand troops are ordered, and we will leave in the afternoon!"

Fu Jian, who came to Fengqi Palace after the imperial court, couldn't help laughing when he saw Zhang Muzhen and Fu Bao who looked like two delicate flowers.After seeing Fu Jian, Zhang Muchai just wanted to stand up and salute.But was stopped by Fu Jian and said: "There is no need to be polite, don't fall to Bao'er."

Zhang Muxie said with a smile: "In the eyes of today's king, I'm afraid Bao'er is the only one."

Fu Jian hugged Bao'er, and jokingly said, "How come? How can the palm of the hand and the back of the hand be treated differently!"

Zhang Muxie pinched Fu Jian shyly and said, "Who is the daughter of the Heavenly King?"

Just as they were talking and laughing, the palace people outside shouted loudly: "Queen Mother, the queen is here!" Zhang Muzhen hurriedly led someone to pick him up, and Fu Jian also handed Princess Fu Bao to the nanny.

I saw Empress Dowager Gou and Empress Gou who was pregnant with Liujia came in.Zhang Muzhen and the palace people saluted him first, and then Empress Gou saluted Fu Jian.After Empress Dowager Gou and Fu Jian asked everyone to get up, Fu Jian said to Empress Dowager Gou: "Mother, it's time to eat, why not?" He didn't finish.

Empress Dowager Gou said a little angrily: "The Heavenly King is about to go to the battlefield, why is the Ai family in the mood to eat?"

Zhang Muxie raised his head immediately after hearing this, looked at Fu Jian in surprise and asked, "Heavenly King wants to conquer in person?"

Before Fu Jian could speak, Empress Dowager Gou said with a serious face, "I accompany the king all day, and I don't know about it?"

Zhang Muxi hurriedly knelt down.But Fu Jian immediately said to Empress Dowager Gou: "I don't want to admire you because my ministers haven't told me about it."

Empress Gou turned her face to the side in displeasure, and Empress Dowager Gou said to Zhang Muzhen impatiently: "In that case, get up."

Zhang Muchai thanked her and got up.

Empress Dowager Gou walked up to Fu Jian, took his hand and said worriedly: "Swords have no eyes, so you must be extremely careful."

Fu Jian said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, this son is not just on the battlefield, and there is a large army by his side, so he will be fine."

Empress Dowager Gou nodded and said: "There is no need to worry about the palace, go early and return early."

Fu Jian was worried that Zhang Muzhen would stay alone in the harem, so he took the hands of Empress Gou Zhen'er and Zhang Muzhen and placed them in Queen Mother Gou's, and said, "Trouble the empress."

Empress Dowager Gou understood his intention, so she said, "I will definitely return to Zhao."

Only then did Fu Jian smile reassuringly.

At this moment, a palace official walked in from the outside to salute and said, "Report to the Heavenly King, General Yingyang, please see me."

Fu Jian said, "Xuan."

After a while, Lu Guang, wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, came in and saluted everyone.

Fu Jian asked: "Is everything ready?"

Lu Guang nodded in agreement.

At this time, the palace man walked in with a tray of golden helmets and armors in both hands.Empress Dowager Gou walked up to Fu Jian with tears in her hands and dressed him herself.Fu Jian wiped away the tears from her face with his hands, and said distressedly: "Mother, my son will return home safely."

Queen Mother Gou nodded with tears in her smile.

After getting dressed neatly, Fu Jian first hugged Fu Bao and kissed him again and again, then turned to leave with a smile on Empress Dowager Gou, Empress Gou and Zhang Muyi.The three women looked at Fu Jian's disappearing back, and they were all distracted.

A few days later, Fu Jian led his troops to Tongbi.Zhang Ping avoided fighting after hearing this.Therefore, Lu Guang said anxiously: "Heavenly King, how about a strong attack?"

After thinking for a while, Fu Jian said, "If you attack by force, you will win, but if you decide to lose your troops and lose your generals, it is better to take it out of your wits?"

Deng Qiang who was stationed in Fenshui, after receiving the letter written by Fu Jian, said with a smile: "The Heavenly King is wise." Then he ordered: "Immediately pull out the camp and join the Heavenly King."

Five thousand soldiers left the battalion in such a way that Zhang Hao, who was injured, went to the top of the city to watch. Seeing that the Qin army had not retreated towards Chang'an, he asked his subordinates, "Where is the Qin army going?"

The subordinate replied hesitantly: "The end will not be known."

At this moment, Deng Qiang saw Zhang Hao who was already on the top of the city, and said loudly to his general: "Speed ​​up, so that we can attack Zhang Ping back and forth with the King of Heaven!"

Zhang Hao turned pale when he heard this, and immediately shouted: "Open the city immediately and rescue father!"

After a while, Zhang Hao rushed out of Fenshui with all the soldiers, but Deng Qiang deliberately did not stop Zhang Hao, but led his troops to surround his [-] soldiers.But Zhang Hao, who was eager to save his father, didn't care about his soldiers, and rushed to the copper wall alone.

Fu Jian, who was waiting on the stilts, saw a strong general flashing out from a distance and rushing towards here, so he guessed that this person should be Zhang Hao.So, he said to Lu Guang who was ready: "Be safe and don't be impatient, how about trying your skills first?"

Lu Guang nodded in agreement.

I saw Zhang Hao coming and going in the Qin army's camp for a total of five meetings, and everywhere he went, everyone was turned on their backs.

Fu Jian looked at it, and said happily, "It's really Zilong." Then he said to Lu Guang, "Keep him alive."

Lu Guang nodded in agreement.Then he urged his horse to come to Zhang Hao, and without saying a word, he raised his weapon and hit one place.

At the same time, Zhang Ping in the city was very moved when he saw Zhang Hao rushing into the Qin camp alone to rescue him, so he led the whole army out of the city to fight with him.

If Zhang Hao had no injuries, Lu Guang would definitely not be his opponent.But now the injury is not serious, and he is anxious and worried that Deng Qiang will lead his troops to arrive at any time.Therefore, within fifty rounds, Zhang Hao was captured alive after losing the battle.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Ping knew that there was no chance of winning, so he put down his weapon, went to Fu Jian and knelt down in front of Fu Jian, saying, "Heavenly King, please forgive me."

Fu Jian looked at him and asked, "How do you know that this is a sincere repentance and you will never betray Qin?"

After Zhang Ping heard about it, he raised his left hand and said, "If I, Zhang Ping, break my faith and rebel against Qin, I will be punished by heaven and die!"

Overjoyed, Fu Jian helped Zhang Ping up with his own hands.Then he untied Zhang Hao's tying rope and said, "Both of you are generals, so Zhang Ping is named General Right, and Zhang Hao is named General Huben Zhonglang."

The two saluted again and said yes.

At this moment, Deng Qiang led his troops to arrive.He walked up to Fu Jian and saluted and said, "Report to the Heavenly King, the rebel army has been wiped out."

After Zhang Ping and Zhang Hao finished listening, they bowed their heads in silence.

But Fu Jian said happily: "Very good, the general and Zhang Hao are really 'enemies to ten thousand people'!"

Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao were naturally overjoyed to receive such a high evaluation, so they saluted and thanked them.

Seeing that he understood the matter, Fu Jian rushed back to Chang'an with everyone.

A few days later, before Fu Jian and others approached Chang'an, they saw colorful flags and heads surging outside Chang'an city from a distance.Therefore, Fu Jian ordered to speed up the march.As soon as they arrived at the gate of Chang'an City, they saw all the Chinese and military officials of the court, headed by Li Wei and Wang Meng, all dressed in official uniforms and greeted them happily.

After Fu Jian dismounted, Li Wei, Wang Meng and others knelt down to salute.Fu Jian immediately asked everyone to stand up without courtesy.

Afterwards, Li Wei saluted again and said, "Congratulations to the Heavenly King on his triumphant return, and praise our country of Qin!"

Fu Jian said with a smile: "How can this battle be credited to only one person, but to the eagerness of all the soldiers to protect the country."

When the soldiers heard this, they all smiled and remained silent.

Wang Meng saluted and said: "The banquet has already been prepared, welcome the King of Heaven to enter the city."

Fu Jian nodded in satisfaction.

In the Taiji Hall, everyone was chatting and exchanging cups, so it was very lively.After two full hours, the banquet was just over, and the officials withdrew.

Fu Jian got up and didn't go to Fengqi Palace to meet Zhang Muzhen, but came to see Queen Mother Gou first.

When Empress Dowager Gou heard the palace people shouting: "Heavenly King is here!" the impatient Empress Dowager Gou walked out of the palace immediately, came to Fu Jian for a closer look, and only smiled when she saw that he was completely unharmed.

Fu Jian couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion when he saw his mother who was so worried about him.No matter what the queen mother said or did, it was all for herself.So, he said with a smile: "Look, my son returned home whole."

Empress Dowager Gou looked at Fu Jian, who was slightly thinner, and said angrily and distressedly: "In the future, the royal driver will not be allowed to conquest himself!"

Fu Jian smiled and nodded in agreement.

Empress Dowager Gou continued: "Zhen'er is about to give birth, so she should be with her more."

Fu Jian nodded.The two chatted for a while, and Fu Jian got up, saluted and left.

Zhang Muxie, who was standing outside the palace gate, saw Fu Jian, ran up to Fu Jian regardless of etiquette, and threw himself into his arms.Fu Jian hugged her with both hands, and asked softly: "Is there any embarrassment for you?"

Zhang Muchai raised his head and said, "No. How could the Heavenly King lose weight?"

Fu Jian said with a smile: "It's all because I miss your mother and daughter." Then he walked into the hall with Zhang Muyi.

Fu Jian hugged the princess Fu Bao from the nurse's hand, and while touching her pink face, he said, "Bao'er will be a beautiful woman in the future!" Zhang Muzhen smiled happily.

The hall was full of warmth, and Fu Jian was extremely happy.
