Zhou Wen drove the chariot to the front of the array, pointed his sword in the distance, and shouted loudly: "Zhang Han, although you live in the Shaofu, the Qin State has decayed. Why not join me, Zhang Chu, and become a free prince?"

"My son Zhou Wen, you are a servant who has risen through the ranks, but you dare to lead an army. Why not go home and farm and enjoy your old age!" Zhang Han sneered.

"snort!"

Zhou Wen snorted coldly and said solemnly: "If you insist on fighting, then I will accompany you to the end. Even if we both die, I will accompany you!"

"You alone are worthy of fighting with me. If you know what is going on, you should disarm your troops as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will destroy your bones!"

When Zhou Wen heard Zhang Han's words, he couldn't help roaring: "Zhang Han! I told you to be aware of current affairs, but you don't accept my kindness! You are seeking death!"

After saying that, he swung his sword forward and yelled "kill". Suddenly, the war horses neighed and the shouts shook the sky.

The boundless Zhang Chu army was like locusts passing through the border, heading straight towards Zhang Han's army formation.

Zhang Han glanced ahead coldly, waving the command flag slowly and unhurriedly, listening to the sound of military drums, the two wings of cavalry were like dark clouds passing over the field, outflanking Zhang Chu's army.

The central military formation marched in an orderly manner, holding swords and spears in hand, and advanced slowly.

Looking from top to bottom, this military formation is like a steel forest, pushing horizontally towards Zhang Chu's army.

At the same time, tens of thousands of arrows were fired from crossbows and crossbows at the rear, and a shower of arrows fell into Zhang Chu's army.

In just half a quarter of an hour, Zhang Chu's army collapsed.

So the entire plain was filled with Zhang Chu's troops fleeing in all directions.

At this time, Zhou Wen's chariot also overturned.

"Withdraw! Withdraw quickly!"

Zhou Wen fell to the ground, but he still ordered the soldiers to retreat, but the noisy noise quickly drowned out his order. He could only get up from the ground, seize a war horse, and fled eastward under the protection of his own troops.

go.

Worried that Zhang Han would pursue him, Zhou Wen fled outside Hangu Pass in one breath.

After he calmed down a little, he reported the results of the battle to Chen Sheng, the king of Zhang Chu, and Wu Guang, who was attacking Xingyang.

The clinker Chen Sheng simply did not believe that the 400,000 Zhang Chu army would be defeated by a group of prisoners whose strength was inferior to his own, so he directly ordered Zhou Wen to station outside Hangu Pass to seek opportunities to destroy Qin.

For more than a month, Zhang Han raised his troops to attack outside the pass. Zhou Wen was defeated several times and finally committed suicide.

Zhou Wen's main army was completely destroyed, which dealt a heavy blow to the newly established Zhang Chu regime.

However, this blow did not wake Chen Sheng up, and the melee in various places continued in full swing until Wu Guangda's army rebelled.

As a "false king", Wu Guang led an army of 200,000 to attack Xingyang. From the beginning, he was ineffective.

Even if Zhou Wen was defeated, he would remain indifferent.

Later, General Tian Zang informed Chen Sheng of this matter, and Chen Sheng secretly instructed Tian Zang to get rid of Wu Guang and regain military power.

At this time, in a secret room outside Xingyang City, Tian Zang said impassionedly to the conspirators: "Everyone, Zhou Wen's army has been defeated, and Zhang Han will arrive in Xingyang soon;

Zhang Chu’s army is the most elite of our army. The best strategy now is to use a small number of troops to lure the enemy and set up an ambush with elite troops. However, the false king has second thoughts. If we do not kill the false king, our army will be defeated!"

As he spoke, he looked around at the crowd and said solemnly: "Once our army is defeated, not only will all your achievements be lost, but your lives will be in danger!"

"ah?"

Hearing this, the originally worried generals suddenly showed surprise, and it didn't take long before they agreed to Tian Zang's plan.

........

That night, Wu Guang, as usual, took several of his trusted generals to discuss military affairs in his study.

While their discussion was in full swing, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "False King, General Tian Zang wants to see you!"

"Um?"

Wu Guang frowned, then looked at his confidants, then put away the drawings on the table and said: "Let him in!"

"promise!"

The waiter agreed and quickly put it into the field.

However, what surprised Wu Guang was that not only Tian Zang, but also several military generals came to his study.

"Tian Zang, why did you bring people to see me?" Wu Guang threw his hands behind his back and glanced at Tian Zang and the others with an indifferent expression.

Tian Zang looked at Wu Guang's confidants expressionlessly, and said with cupped hands: "False king, I will eventually receive a report from an informant saying that you colluded with outsiders and intended to betray King Zhang Chu. Is it true?"

"Nonsense!"

Wu Guang's eyes widened, and he frowned and said, "This king and King Zhang Chu are working together. They are brothers. How can we betray him?"

"hehe."

Tian Zang smiled noncommittally and said: "The general also believes that the false king will not betray King Zhang Chu, but someone has already reported this matter to King Zhang Chu. King Zhang Chu means that he will let the general investigate on his behalf and hope that the false king will cooperate with him.

!”

As soon as Tian Zang finished speaking, one of Wu Guang's confidants stood up and shouted: "How dare you! The brotherhood between King Zhang Chu and the false king, how could he investigate the false king indiscriminately? I think it was you who falsely conveyed the will of King Zhang Chu.

Looking for quarrels and causing trouble!”

"General Zhou is defeated. Zhang Han will arrive in Xingyang soon. Our army has been unable to attack Xingyang for a long time. Are we waiting here to die?" Before Tian Zang could speak, a general behind him immediately responded.

Wu Guang glanced at him coldly and looked at Tian Zang: "Then according to General Tian's opinion, how should our army respond?"

"Siege Xingyang with a small number of soldiers, and attack Zhang Han with elite soldiers!"

"Zhang Han's 200,000 prisoner army defeated Zhou Wen's 400,000 main force. Our elite army only has 100,000 troops. How can we fight against it?"

Hearing this, Tian Zang smiled and said: "If the false king hands over the command to the general, the general will have his own way of facing the enemy!"

"Let me hand over the command to you?"

Wu Guang sneered and said seriously: "Could it be that General Tian wants to seize power?"

"The final general was ordered by King Zhang Chu to investigate the false king, and temporarily took charge of the military, waiting for the king's orders!"

Tian Zang said, pulled out his sword and pointed at Wu Guang: "Those who know the truth, please hurry up and capture him, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword!"

"Hurry up and catch us!"

Seeing Tian Zang drawing his sword and facing each other, all the generals behind him also drew their swords and were on standby at any time.

"Chen Sheng, Chen Sheng, you can only share adversity, not wealth..."

Wu Guang shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then murmured to himself: "It is better that the master has foresight, otherwise I will die in peace!"

After saying that, he waved his hand: "Come here! Capture them, pull them out of the school grounds, and behead them in public!"

"No! We have fallen into a trap! Kill Wu Guang quickly!"

"Kill--"

Seeing a group of ambush soldiers suddenly rushing out from inside and outside the study, Tian Zang and others were shocked, and they all shouted and charged towards Wu Guang.

Without saying a word, Wu Guang immediately turned the mechanism. When the door of the mechanism opened, he immediately fled to the secret room behind the door.

Not long after, calm returned to the study room. Wu Guang slowly walked out of the secret room, only to see that the study room was in a mess. The bodies of Tian Zang and others were neatly placed at the door.

After pondering for a while, Wu Guang looked around at the crowd and said calmly: "Chen Sheng's special envoy Tian Zang followed the king's order to kill the hero, which is really an unjust act. From today on, I, Wu Guang, will no longer follow Chen Sheng's orders and set up my own branch!"

"Okay! Set up your own business!"

The confidant generals responded in unison, cut off the heads of Tian Zang and others, and asked the envoys to take them back to Chen County.

.........

Wu Guang established his own branch, which brought real losses to Zhang Chu's regime. Rather than losing this elite army, it was better to say that he lost the reputation of the rebel army.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were originally one, but in order to fight for power, Chen Sheng actually killed Wu Guang at a critical moment, which caused Chen Sheng's reputation to plummet.

However, Chen Sheng was still unconscious and even did something incredible.

Early that morning, at the gate of a newly built royal city in the capital of Chen County, a young man in ragged clothes was looking around, seemingly looking for something.

When the soldiers guarding the city gate saw that he was acting suspiciously, they stepped forward and shouted: "Where did you come from, this man, leave quickly!"

"ah?"

When the young man heard the scolding, he was startled and quickly looked for fame. He couldn't help but smile and said with a smile: "The military master is happy and angry. I am a fellow countryman of King Chen Sheng. My old father was once kind to him and asked me to come here."

Run to him!"

"Are you a fellow countryman of the king?"

The soldiers guarding the city were surprised when they heard what the young man said.

But I heard the young man say seriously: "Although I am dressed in rags, I am indeed from the same hometown as King Chen Sheng. If you don't believe it, you can report it to him. Do you know the old man Niu of Yangcheng County?"

"Old man Niu from Yangcheng County?" The soldier guarding the city frowned, looked the young man up and down, shook his head for a moment, and said, "Even if you are from the same hometown as the king, I can't help you pass the news!"

"Why?" The young man asked anxiously.

"The king has gone out for inspection and is not in the city. If you are really looking for him, you can wait here. As for how long you wait, it all depends on you!"

After the city defenders finished speaking, they said no more and went straight to the city gate.

The young man looked at his back, opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
