Chapitre 49: General, How About We Revolt?
Chen Kui presented the secret letter from the emperor to Zhan Chengyin with both hands.
Zhan Chengyin took the secret letter and unfolded it.
Zhan Chengyin won three battles and three victories, killing 100,000 barbarians. The news has spread to the capital, shocking the court!
Even the common people know about it.
He now has a very high prestige among the people, and has already surpassed the royal family.
The court wants to seize his military power, rather than letting him go and watching him grow and gain fame and fortune.
In order to destroy Zhan Chengyin, the court would rather give up 200,000 soldiers in Zhenguan, hoping that the barbarians can get rid of him.
They have been comfortable in the capital for too long, living a life of drunkenness and dreams every day, not knowing that the next step for the barbarians' iron cavalry will be to break through the Central Plains and occupy the capital. Massacrethe city, kill the people, and overthrow the rule of the Great Qi Kingdom!
The young emperor was short-sighted, narrow-minded, and stubborn.
Prime Minister Su was even more obsessed with money, racking his brains every day to make money by imposing heavy taxes.
They had no idea that Chu and Qi had long been eyeing Daqi.
The two countries would rather put aside years of hatred and join forces to annex Daqi.
Zhan Chengyin frowned and handed the secret letter to Chen Kui.
Chen Kui saw that his face was not right and hurried to explain.
"General, how you treat your subordinates is in my eyes. Whether it is me or Chen Wu, we have no second thoughts about you."
"It is impossible to assassinate you."
"If you hadn't sent water and food through the gods, my children, Mo Fan, and the people of the whole city would probably starve to death now."
"The drought in the Central Plains has not yet eased. Even if I go to kill that old man Xu Huai, I will never kill you!"
Zhan Chengyin is a martial arts master, and the two brothers may not be able to beat him together.
The young emperor pushed them to Zhenguan and almost starved them to death.
Now he is going to destroy their jobs.
Zhan Chengyin is the breadwinner of the entire town!
Can they kill their parents and ruin their own jobs?
Even if they rebel, they will not assassinate Zhan Chengyin.
Even Mo Fan, the little dandy, knows that he must not offend Zhan Chengyin.
What does the little emperor think.
Immediately, Chen Kui tore up the secret letter and set it on fire.
He said to Mo Fan: "Little Master, this general has not received the secret letter, nor has he read it. It's none of my business!"
Mo Fan touched his nose, "I didn't see it either!"
Zhan Chengyin said helplessly: "The second secret letter will be sent. Escape is not a solution!"
At this point, Chen Kui pulled Zhan Chengyin to a small corner of the warehouse and lowered his voice.
"General, why don't we rebel, and start with Xu Huai!"
"Look, you have the support of the gods, what can't we do? Do we still need to look at the face of the little emperor? And be suppressed by Prime Minister Su? I don't like that old man either!"
Zhan Chengyin looked at Chen Kui with dark pupils. He shaved his beard and put on new clothes. His skin was dark, but he was clean.
He had gained weight on his face, and his square face looked fierce.
He was asked, "Kill Xu Huai, then what?"
"Rebellion, get rid of the barbarians first, and then we will fight our way back to the capital!"
Zhan Chengyin shook his head, "I'm afraid not?"
"Why? The young emperor secretly ordered Chen Wu and me to assassinate you. If we two brothers don't do it, we will be the ones to die. We will die anyway, so let's play big!"
"We have food, we have water, we have advanced weapons and equipment, and we have explosives... Who in the capital can stop us?"
"It is said that the capital is also short of water and food, and there are refugees everywhere. If we return to the capital earlier, we may be able to save more people."
Zhan Chengyin said, "The armies of Chu and Qi are just 150 miles away from the border, and they can approach Zhenguan at any time!"
Chen Kui's pupils widened, "Do these two countries really want to attack us?"
Chen Kui only knew that the emperor of Qi recruited Zhan Chengyin.
Unexpectedly, he wanted to kill Zhan Chengyin.
He made two preparations.
Zhan Chengyin continued: "They annexed Qi State. As long as Zhenguan is lost, they will unite with the barbarians, march straight into the capital, occupy the capital, and divide the territory of Daqi!"
In the unofficial history book given to him by the gods, Qi State perished in this way. His death time was probably recently.
Because Chu and Qi originally took action, but they did not expect the Zhan family army to be so brave. One hundred thousand barbarians were killed and now they have retreated a hundred miles away.
No one dared to guard the north and south gates.
Luo Ge woke up. It is said that his feet were blown to pieces and he became a disabled person from then on.
Because of his failure, the Mobei royal court punished him, took back his military power, and sent a new general to Zhenguan.
The Zhan family army won three battles and looked glorious.
However, the barbarians have not withdrawn their troops yet, and the Great Chu and the Great Qi are eyeing them covetously.
The imperial court is also holding back, sending Xu Huai to disrupt the situation and cause civil strife.
Now, "Let's turn Xu Huai's soldiers into our own people first."
Chen Kui said solemnly, "General, these people have followed Xu Huai for twenty years. Can they be bribed to work for us?"
"I have food!"
"Xu Huai is here to snatch military power from you. He may not listen to you."
"I have food!"
Chen Kui: "...Or else Chen Wu and I will get rid of Xu Huai?"
"No, I have water and food. They have been hungry for more than half a year. They know who to follow to get enough to eat!"
"Okay, I worry too much."
Mo Fan stood behind the two of them and listened to everything.
Military advisor Zhuang Liang also suggested adopting a conciliatory policy.
"General, how do you plan to bribe Xu Huai's soldiers?"
"Joining the Zhan Family Army formation, according to the calculation of the veterans, each person will have ten kilograms of rice, five kilograms of flour, five bags of salt, a barrel of oil, and enough water per month!"
Zhuang Liang smiled and said, "That's great. Even if they are loyal to Xu Huai, they can't bear to let their families starve to death. They will join the Zhan Family Army formation."
"By the way, let's post a notice on the streets of Chu State. Joining the Zhan Family Army can get six kilograms of rice and three kilograms of flour. There are already a thousand people who have brought their families to the city gate. Should we let them in?"
The Chu people, if they are let in, they are probably spies.
If they are not let in, the Chu people will know that they have been deceived, and no one will join the army.
It is troublesome to arrange these people.
Zhan Chengyin pondered for a moment, "There are no barbarian garrisons at the north and south gates, so let the Chu soldiers, together with their families, live within five miles of the gate."
"Cook porridge at the city gate every day and arrange for them properly."
"Chen Kui, you send a team of 100 people to recruit those who join the army, give them military uniforms, weapons, armor, shoes... the promised food, and water on time every day."
"Register their families and tell them that they have joined the Zhan family army and are the people of the pass, and have no relationship with the Chu State anymore."
Chen Kui smiled and said, "Okay, I'll ask someone to arrange it."
After Chen Kui left, Zhuang Liang, the military advisor, smiled and said, "General, this method is very appropriate."
"By the way, the young sorcerer of the three sorcerers we found last time received the food and said he wanted to come to you and join you. He is outside the gate."
"Why did he come to join the army?"
Sorcerers usually have family-inherited unique skills, or are taught by their teachers.
The Great Qi State Master is a famous sorcerer. He holds a whisk in his hand, and has a Taoist style, like a hermit.
Zhan Chengyin was surprised that this young man joined the army.
"Bring him in."
Zhan Chengyin sat at the head of Chen Kui's reception room, and Mrs. Chen brought him some hot tea.
The young sorcerer's name was Shi Meng, also known as Xun Lin Zhenren, and he was 21 years old. He was not from Qi country, and he had been stranded in the town for more than half a year.
Now, there was a severe drought in the world, and there was no hope of leaving the city, so he simply stayed.
