Former Qin Fengyun

A month later, Deng Qiang, who was walking on the street to relax, suddenly saw a crowd of people in front of him, so he walked over curiously.I saw three middle-aged men with ferocious faces, holding two pretty girls and shouting: "Wait with me!" The two girls shook their heads desperately and shouted: "No! Help!"

At this time, the righteous Deng Qiang shouted loudly: "Stop!"

The three men stopped, looked at Deng Qiang and asked disdainfully: "Who dares to spoil the interest of the uncle?"

Deng Qiang walked quickly in front of the three of them, and said loudly, "Deng Qiang!"

When the three of them heard this, they were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging: "General, please forgive me! General please forgive me!"

Deng Qiang said displeasedly: "Get out!"

The three of them scrambled and disappeared into the crowd.

At this time, the two women knelt on the ground, wept and saluted and said, "Thank you, General, for saving your life!"

Deng Qiang waved his hand and said, "Go home."

One of the civilian women said: "Our two sisters' parents died early, and we have no relatives. If the general doesn't mind it, I only wish to be a slave and a handmaid, serving the general for the rest of his life, in order to repay today's kindness!"

Deng Qiang saw that the two of them had poor backgrounds and were outstanding in appearance, so he nodded and said: "In that case, follow me back to the residence."

In the next three months, Deng Qiang played with the two women every night and was very happy.Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the fourth month, he suddenly fell ill and died of illness within ten days.

Gao Bi, who was talking to Murong Chui, suddenly saw Liang Chen walking in with a smile, first saluted Murong Chui, and then said: "General, Deng Qiang died of illness."

Murong Chui smiled with satisfaction.

Gao Bi said: "There are many kinds of death, and death due to lust is one of them."

The next day at the Golden Palace, Gao Bi went out to salute and said, "Heavenly King, Huan Wen has been dead for many years, Jin has no good generals, this is a great opportunity from God."

But Quan Yi immediately went out to salute and said: "I report to the king of heaven that Jin is a great country. If you send troops rashly, you may hurt the foundation of the country. Please think twice."

Fu Jian said: "When the prince was dying, he warned not to invade Jin. But now Qin has unified the north and has a strong army. Therefore, it is not impossible to attack Jin."

Quan Yi saw that he could not stop Fu Jian, so he said again: "Why don't you try it with a sledgehammer, if you win this battle, it won't be too late to attack Jin?"

Fu Jian nodded and said, "According to Aiqing's advice, Lord Changle, General Guangwu, and General Weiwu will lead one hundred thousand troops to attack Xiangyang."

Fu Pi, Zhang Hao, and Gou Chang immediately went out to salute and said, "Your minister obeys the order, and the general will obey it."

At this time, Murong Chui went out to salute and said: "I would like to report to the Heavenly King that my minister's health is fine, and I can relieve the Heavenly King's worries."

Yao Chang also went out to salute and said: "The last general is willing to go with the champion general!"

Fu Jian said with a smile: "The harmony of colleagues is really a blessing of the Great Qin. However, General Murong still needs to do what he can, and let Gao Bi go with him. Lead [-] troops to pass through Wudang, and cooperate with Duke Changle to attack Xiangyang."

Murong Chui, Yao Chang and Gao Bi smiled and saluted and said yes.

Seeing that Fu Jian sent heavy troops to attack Xiangyang, Peng Chao, the governor of Yanzhou, concluded that the battle would be won, so he went out to salute and said, "I want to report to the king of heaven, the last general is also willing to lead troops to attack Pengcheng, so that we can form a trend of advancing from east to west and destroy the state of Jin! "Mao Sheng also saluted and invited Ying.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the generals, Fu Jian said with great joy in his heart: "Mao Aiqing led [-] troops to attack Huaiyang and Xuyi. Peng Aiqing is the governor of the east to discuss the military."

Pengcheng and Maosheng saluted happily and said yes.

However, the power wing on the side wantedonly used tens of thousands of soldiers, and was very worried.But after thinking about it, if this battle is defeated, the king of heaven will know that Jin is strong, and he will not raise the matter of attacking Jin in the future.Therefore, he secretly prayed: "I only hope that this battle will be defeated so that the Great Qin can be kept safe."

The mighty general Gou Chang, who left Chang'an, saluted Fu Pi of Changle Palace and said: "Prince, Xiangyang is a battleground for military strategists, and must be guarded by heavy troops. To avoid casualties, it is reasonable to cut off its food roads, and win the battle with a besieged city."

Zhang Hao nodded and said, "The general's words are very reasonable."

Although Fu PI of Changle Palace was the eldest son, he was born of a concubine, and his mother was not favored by Fu Jian, so he was doomed to miss the throne in this life, so he was courteous and courteous since he was a child.Therefore, when he saw that the two generals agreed with the way of fighting this battle, he nodded happily and said, "Just follow what the two generals said. Besides, this is the first time Fu Pi leads troops, and I hope the two generals will give us some pointers." After speaking, he bowed his hands and saluted .

Zhang Hao and Gou Chang saw that although Fu Pi was the prince, but he was very humble, they were very happy in their hearts, and they immediately returned the gift together and said: "Please rest assured, the eldest prince, I will definitely do my best in the end!"

At the same time, Peng Chao said to Mao Sheng: "In order to defend against the reinforcements of the Jin State, we should attack them quickly."

Mao Sheng saluted and said, "The last general obeys orders."

But at this time Gao Bi said to Murong Chui: "General, this battle will definitely last for a long time, we should not rush forward, we should stay calm and grasp the overall situation."

Murong hung his head and said, "Just follow Mr.'s advice."

Zhu Xu, who was in Xiangyang, suddenly saw the reporter walking in nervously, saluted and said, "General Qi, something is wrong."

Zhu Xu immediately stood up and said, "Speak quickly!"

The reporter replied: "The Qin army cut off our army's food and grass, and the army has traveled to less than ten miles from Xiangyang."

Zhu Xu immediately ordered: "Close the city gate quickly, and don't go out of the city to fight with Qin. Just stick to it and wait for reinforcements."

The reporter saluted and said yes to go down.

Ten days later, Murongchui said to Gao Bi very worriedly: "Peng Chao Maosheng has captured the two cities of Huaiyang and Xuyi, and the momentum is like a broken bamboo. And Fu Pi is trapped in Xiangyang. It won't take long for Xiangyang to be broken."

Gao Bi smiled slightly, and said: "Peng Chao Maosheng is eager to make contributions, and he is eager to attack the city instead of defending himself. Jin will surely destroy it. Although the strategy of besieging Xiangyang is good, it can be broken."

Murong Chui looked up at him.

Gao Bi said confidently: "The Heavenly King must know what makes a treasured sword not grow old."

Three days later, Liang Chen read the letter and said, "Gao Bi's talent is far away."

The next day, Liang Chen went out to salute and said: "I will report to the king of heaven. There have been many wars recently, so the grain depot is empty. I wonder if taxes will be increased?"

Fu Jian immediately shook his head and said: "The people are working hard, how can we increase taxes?" Then he took off the sword in his waist and said to Liang Chen: "The widow said to the widow, 'If the spring is not successful, you will kill yourself!'."

Liang Chen saluted and said yes.

However, although Quan Yi in the imperial court knew that there must be something strange about this matter, he didn't know why, so he kept silent and only frowned.

Three days later, Fu Pi, who was discussing important military affairs with Zhang Haogouchang, suddenly saw the reporter come in, saluted and said, "I report to the eldest prince, the imperial decree has arrived."

Fu PI hurriedly took Zhang Haogouchang out of the camp to receive the order.

After everyone knelt down, Liang Chen raised his sword with both hands and said loudly: "Heavenly King said, 'If the spring is not successful, you will kill yourself.'"

Fu PI was so frightened that he slumped on the ground, Zhang Hao and Gou Chang hurriedly supported Fu PI.Fu Pi, with a pale face, said without confidence: "My minister obeys the order."

Liang Chen was overjoyed when he saw this, but he didn't show it. After handing the sword to Fu PI with both hands, he saluted and said, "Eldest Prince, I have something to do, so I can't stay for a long time. Take my leave." After speaking, he turned and left.

Fu Pi looked at the sword in his hand and said, "Raid Xiangyang tonight, don't take it for sure!"

Zhang Hao and Gou Chang had no choice but to nod in agreement.

In the middle of the night, Zhu Xu, who was still in his armor, still led people to patrol the places in person.When he came to the top of the city, the soldiers on guard saluted immediately when they saw that the Lord was coming.Zhu Xu said: "The reinforcements will arrive within three days. Don't be careless." The soldiers nodded in agreement.

Just as Zhu Xu was about to go down to the city, he suddenly heard a soldier shouting loudly: "Look, general, the Qin army is making a surprise attack!" military.Zhu Xu was taken aback at first, then quickly calmed down, turned around and said, "Get ready to meet the enemy!"

The Qin army originally thought that they could take Xiangyang smoothly by raiding at night, but they didn't expect that Zhu Xu's army would be rigorous and patrol in person, so he didn't take the initiative.The battle lasted for two full hours, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

But the Qin army still failed to capture. Zhang Hao, covered in blood, raised his knife and shouted: "If you can't win this battle, what face is there to meet the king of heaven! Go!" The Qin army launched a general attack again.

Zhu Xu, who was already seriously injured in several places, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Reinforcements will arrive soon, defend Xiangyang desperately!"

After another hour, the Qin army only had more than [-] men, while the Jin army on the city had less than a hundred men.

Murongchui and the others, who were less than half a mile away from Xiangyang, quietly listened to the shouts of killing and watched the flames soaring into the sky.

At this time, Yao Chang came over, bowed and said, "General Qi, according to the report from the spies, Xie Xuan of Jin State has led [-] elite troops to Xiangyang. General, let's do it."

Murong Chui said with a slight smile, "Fu Pi and the others suffered heavy casualties. If I don't lose a single soldier and order Jin to retreat, how would the King of Heaven think about it?"

Yao Chang knew well that Murong Chui was known as the ever-victorious general, and that no one could match the god of using soldiers, so he saluted and said: "Please give me your advice, General."

Murong Chui said: "Order the soldiers to hang the torches on the treetops, and each of them hold two torches in each hand, and walk slowly to Xiangyang."

Yao Chang didn't understand what he meant. , so he glanced at Murong Chui suspiciously.But Gao Bi on the side saluted Murong Chui with a smile and said, "Gao Bi admires the general's ingenious plan."

When Murong Chui saw this, he didn't ask any further questions, and bowed to say yes to go down.

When Xie Xuangang, who came to the city of Xiangyang, was about to order a counterattack, suddenly the deputy general walked up to him and saluted and said, "General Qi, less than half a mile away, nearly 20 Qin troops are coming here!"

Xie Xuan asked in surprise: "Can you see clearly?"

The deputy general nodded and said: "The Qin army has countless torches, and 20 people is only a lot more."

Xie Xuan immediately said: "Retreat immediately."

The lieutenant looked at him in surprise.

Xie Xuan continued: "Zhu Xu is the remnant party of Huanwen, so it doesn't matter if we don't save it. Although Xiangyang is lost, if Huaiyang and Xuyi are taken back, the crime will be lost."

Zhu Xu, who was in Xiangyang City, saw that the reinforcements had withdrawn, so he threw the sword in his hand to the ground in despair.

The lieutenant asked anxiously: "General, what should I do?"

Zhu Xu said weakly: "Kaicheng surrendered."

Five days later, Fu Jian in the Golden Palace suddenly saw the reporter coming in, saluted and said, "Report to the Heavenly King, the latest battle report."

Fu Jian immediately said: "Speak quickly!"

The reporter replied: "Xiangyang has been captured..." He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Fu Jian said joyfully: "Pi'er has lived up to everyone's expectations!"

But the reporter went on to say: "Heavenly King, the champion general also has merit."

Fu Jian said, "Let's talk about it in detail."

The reporter replied: "At that time, the Jin army defender Zhu Xu led his troops to defend Xiangyang. The army misjudged the number of people and retreated. Therefore, Zhu Xu raised the city and surrendered."

Fu Jian was overjoyed and said: "The name of General Changsheng is indeed well-deserved. Now that Zhu Xu has surrendered, he will be appointed Minister of Duzhi. Besides, how about Peng Chao and Mao Gui?"

The reporter replied: "Because Xie Xuan went all out, he lost Xuyi and Huaiyang successively. Now he has retreated to Junchuan."

Fu Jian said angrily: "Such a big defeat, I ordered him to sill the car and meet the widows!"

At this time, Quan Yi immediately came out to salute and said: "Heavenly King, Peng Chao Maosheng fought for Qin Jiu on the battlefield and made countless achievements. How about..." He didn't finish.

Fu Jian stared and shouted: "Shut up!"

Quan Yi was too scared to say anything.However, all the former officials of the Qin State in the court were disappointed. Zhu Xu was only a surrendered general, so he was granted the title of Minister.But Peng Chao and Mao Sheng... When Peng Chao and Mao Sheng received the imperial decree, they couldn't help crying.

Mao Sheng said sadly: "Brother Peng, although you and I have no merit, we have also worked hard. Besides, victory or defeat in the battlefield is a common matter for military strategists. Why does the king of heaven humiliate us like this? That Zhu Xu..." He has not yet finished.

Peng Chao got up in despair, pulled out the sword in his waist, and shouted in pain: "Scholar can be killed but not humiliated!" After speaking, he drew his sword and killed himself.

Peng Chao shouted: "Prince! Why did you die so young!" After speaking, he killed himself.

At the same time, Zhu Xu raised his glass and said to Murong Chui: "The general's strategy of war is in the hands of the next five."

Murong Chui said with a smile: "The general is absurd, how dare you give it?"

However, Zhang Hao and Gou Chang on the side were aggrieved and used wine to relieve their worries.
