Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 415: War of Insults
The verbal fight before the battle is more like a live debate competition for the soldiers on both sides. Whoever is right will have higher morale.

Now that Lu Xiong was clinging to the claim that King Zhou was unjust, Deng Xiu was at a loss for words.

Now that the Han Dynasty has accepted the Shang Dynasty's edict of enthronement, no matter what, there is a relationship of kinship. As long as King Zhou does not commit any serious mistakes that will infuriate the people and the heaven, and the Han Dynasty cannot find an excuse within three to two years, it will not turn against the Shang Dynasty. This can be regarded as the peace on the southern front that Wen Zhong gained by sacrificing King Zhou's face and a lot of ancestral systems of King Cheng Tang's ancestors.

The Han State obtained some of the political assets of the Shang Dynasty and remained loyal to it until the last moment. A series of civil and military officials from Deng Jiugong onwards gained a good reputation. We did not betray you, you made me king. This is completely different from the nature of the Zhou and Qi States. While there are benefits, the Shang Dynasty also has to take some of the blame. This is a matter of both advantages and disadvantages.

Deng Xiu was in a bit of a dilemma. It was not easy to justify this. The key was that he could not speak too highly of the Shang Dynasty. Once he spoke too highly of it, it would be like he was shooting himself in the face when the Han attacked the Shang Dynasty in the future.

Deng Chanyu could only speak for him, "Old General, you are mistaken. The world belongs to everyone, not just the King of Shang. The former Prime Minister Shang Rong was a man of high moral character and high prestige, dedicated to public service and a role model for all officials. The Grand Minister of Destiny, Bigan, was upright and incorruptible. My father, while guarding the southern border for the imperial court, fought against the rebel E Chongyu, personally braving arrows and stones, suffering over seventy wounds."

She began by praising the Shang Dynasty's civil and military officials, then finally asked, "If it weren't for Heaven's will, how could there be so many virtuous officials and generals? General, you are a long-time Shang official, and a renowned general and commander. If you could return from your misfortunes, surrender with courtesy, and still retain your title, what should you do next? I ask you to consider this carefully."

The old general Lu Xiong felt bitter. He had always been loyal to King Zhou, but he had been betrayed by Yin Jiao before. Now his son and grandson were in Qi State. He was no longer young, and he had to consider not only himself but also his descendants.

He could only go down this path: "I am a virtuous minister, and my general is a renowned general, but isn't it the king's responsibility that the country has fallen to this point?"

These words hit the nail on the head, and Deng Chanyu could only continue arguing with him.

First, he pointed at the old general and chuckled to Daji beside him: "He is anxious, he is anxious."

Daji also smiled.

Deng Chanyu continued, "The old general believes that the country is overthrown, but I don't think so. Bones are exposed in the wild, and no roosters crow for a thousand miles. That's the true chaos of the world."

Veteran Lu Xiong was stunned for a moment. Isn’t this chaos?
"Stale grain in the Qi market is selling for eight hundred coins per catty, and the people are selling their children. Your Highness, what do you think constitutes a true chaos?"

Deng Chanyu pointed her folding fan toward Qi. "In Han, new rice costs only a hundred coins per jin. Human traffickers are exiled three thousand miles, and those who drown infants are punished with eighty strokes of the cane. Qi's troubles are surely not the King's own fault, but rather the result of corrupt officials and chaotic governance."

The core meaning is that it is your own problem that you failed to govern Qi well, and King Zhou should not take the blame.

Veteran General Lu Xiong said that Han was a dictatorship and not a country of gentlemen. Deng Chanyu then ridiculed Qi, saying that it could be more democratic. Why did only a few nobles vote? You should let the entire army vote together.

Lu Xiong said that the Han State relied on its military strength and was not a benevolent army. Deng Chanyu ridiculed him for saying that "I am weak, so I am right" which was too pedantic.

Seeing that Lu Xiong, an old man, couldn't win an argument with Deng Chanyu, Huan Xitian came to help. This Taoist who came from the sea of ​​blood said that he released fifty pigs a day, which was a benevolent act. Deng Chanyu laughed and said that he caught pigs and then released them, which was so stupid that it made people laugh. Huan Xitian repeatedly emphasized that he didn't catch the pigs. Deng Chanyu argued: "If you didn't catch them, why did you release them!"

I am so happy that I am shivering all over and my hands and feet are cold.
Benzaiten also joined the "debate". This female Ashura spoke softly and systematically about how the Han State lagged behind the Qi State in the north in all aspects, from time to geography to people. Then she was defeated by Deng Chanyu's series of killer moves, such as "Do you know how hard our Han State has worked?" and "Let's put the facts aside."

After a quarter of an hour of idle chatter, the topic of "King Zhou's tyranny" finally got off the topic. Deng Chanyu glanced at the sun. "Huh? Time's up! No more nonsense, let's fight!" Wei Ben led the charge, and a great general named Ma Zhao from Qi rushed out from the opposite side, and the two engaged in a fierce battle.

Huan Xitian, who was trembling with anger, wanted to fight to the death with Deng Chanyu.

Nezha rode on his wind-fire wheel and fired a shot in the face: "You fat pig who let loose, you want to fight with my master, you have to get past me first!"

Huan Xitian's eyes turned red. He was going to let this release go unpunished, right? He didn't care who it was and just swung his vajra to hit him.

Nezha's spear was as fast as a dragon, and the fiery red dragon tooth spear was faster than the other, never leaving Huan Xitian's vital point. The Hun Tian Ling was suddenly released, entangled Huan Xitian's left arm, and then pulled forward.

Huanxitian's Xuanxian realm is far higher than Nezha, a terrestrial immortal, and his strength is even more extraordinary. As soon as he took a wrong step, he stabilized his body.

He even dragged the Hun Tian Ling in the opposite direction, raised his right hand, and slapped Nezha's face with his palm as big as a palm fan.

Except for the Qiankun Ring, Nezha is now fully equipped. He steps on the Wind Fire Wheel, turns into a ray of fire, and rushes to the side. With a sudden sound, the tip of the spear pierces Huan Xitian's neck.

Huanxitian was ten feet tall, with muscles all over his body. He slightly turned sideways and first spit out a cloud of blood mist with a fishy smell to the side. Taking advantage of the moment when Nezha was blind, he held the vajra in both hands and swept across, knocking Nezha away with his gun. Before Nezha could laugh triumphantly, a beam of fire shot into his left eye.

Huan Xitian didn't see clearly what it was, and quickly lowered his head, only to see the Fire Dragon Dart bite off a piece of flesh from his forehead, draw an arc, and return to Nezha's hand again.

"You little bastard, you're looking for death!"

"Old dog! Come and die!"

Huanxitian is at a high level and has great strength. Nezha has amazing combat intuition and many magic weapons in his hands.

The Fire Dragon Dart he had just obtained recently showed a much more powerful charm in his hands than Chen Tong's.

The technique of using a weapon to fight for seven or eight moves and then suddenly releasing a hidden weapon was originally Deng Chanyu's unique skill. It was reasonable for the master to use flying stones and the disciple to use darts.

Teacher Deng has his own set of extremely mature experience on how to conceal one's true intentions, how to follow up a killing move with a hidden weapon, and what angles the enemy is most difficult to guard against.

When Nezha was in Xiqi in the original time and space, he would often gang up on the enemies with a bunch of disciples of the Chan sect. He didn't care about martial ethics at all. Now that he is learning from the number one hidden weapon master in the prehistoric world, he doesn't care even more.

If the Fire Dragon Dart has a power of one in Chen Tong's hands, its power in Nezha's hands is ten!
