Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 226 The Battle of Chenliu ([-])

Although the anger in his chest was still hard to dissipate, Lang Tianan nodded and continued to march without saying a word.

Not long after, Huang Xin handed over the entire army to Tian Du, and he left the brigade with [-] cavalry to go to Chenliu first.

Deng Zong, Tian Jiao and others met Huang Xin who was going south on the road, and Dang even accepted his command and led the [-] remnants to slowly retreat south.

"Uncle! Why do you listen to that Huangxin? Don't you lose face by doing this?" Deng said, riding a horse, and asked Deng Zong very depressed.

"Yes, father. How can you accept Huangxin's control so easily? Doesn't this make other uncles who are friendly with you look down?" Deng Su also said aside.

"Shuo'er, Su'er, don't you know? Long after I lost Chen Liu, I, Deng Zong, no longer had any face left. What was left was only the humiliation of defeat, and a useful body waiting to be dealt with." Deng Zong saw that his nephew and son were very immature, so he had no choice but to mention something. "Now in Zhoushi, Ling Huangxin is in charge of us. It's not that Ling Huangxin cut off my military power and tied me up for his disposal. It's because of the achievements made by a certain company in the past, and gave me a lot of face. Do I still Unsatisfied? Do you have to touch the bottom line of Zhou Shi? Do you have to wait for Huangxin to show Zhou Xiangguo's sword and take me down?"

"Zhou Shi's sword?" Deng said, listening to Deng Zong's words, he asked very puzzled.

"Zhou Shi's sword was given by King Chen. I found this sword from the storehouse in Chen County. I thought that King Chen would give it to me, but unexpectedly, King Chen gave it to Zhou Shi. Although you can't see With this sword, I, Deng Zong, will never forget it!" Deng Zong clenched his fists and said while looking at the south, as if thinking about what happened back then.

"Since my uncle has a lot of resentment towards Zhou Shi, why did he support Wei Jiu to regain the throne of Wei King together?" Deng said that seeing Deng Zong was very dissatisfied with Zhou Shi, he took the initiative to express his doubts.

"Isn't it because Zhou Shi and Wei Jiu promised me that after the restoration of Wei State, they would give me the position of general. Back then, I was obsessed with ghosts, and I didn't think carefully about being deceived by these two people! So much so, I was the one who contacted me back then. All the generals who were born in Chu were all suppressed at the level of captain. There is not even a general, but I am still a general. I really regret it!" Deng Zong shook his head and said the secrets of the year. All of them regretted their actions back then.

"Since Uncle is dissatisfied with Zhou Shi and Wei Jiu, why doesn't he find another master?" Deng said, he was very puzzled and asked.

"Do you think you can find the Lord Ming?" Deng Zong said helplessly, looking at his nephew in astonishment. "We are all betrayers, how can anyone accept us? Besides, the soldiers under our command are all Wei people. Do you think they are willing to go with us?"

"Without military power, your uncle and I are just a dispensable general. Who will take it seriously?" In the end, Deng Zong expressed his biggest worry all the time.

"What uncle said is right!" Deng said that he agreed with Deng Zong's statement, but the long-term depression prompted him to continue: "However, my nephew has a different opinion. Uncle, have you thought about it? If you have been in Wei The country is suppressed by Zhou Shi and Wei Jiu, and there is no possibility of promotion; will those generals who follow you switch to Zhou Shi because of this?"

"Furthermore, you have always said that you will not be valued if you have no military power. In fact, you are wrong! As long as you can wield weapons and lead troops to fight, even if you join any anti-Qin rebel army in the world, you can rise again. Besides, you You are still the veteran who followed King Chen back then. If you go to any anti-Qin forces in the world, you can at least get a captaincy!"

What Deng said made Deng Zong fall into deep thought. He began to wonder if he was worrying too much!

After a long time, Deng Zong said: "Even so, now is not the time. The army of Qin dogs is in front of us. If I escape rashly, I will be ridiculed by the people of the world. We can only make plans in the future!"

"Yeah!" Deng said seeing that Deng Zong had been moved by him, he nodded to express his understanding.

"General Deng, why did Prime Minister Zhou ask me to go south with General Huangxin?" Just as Deng Zong and Deng said that they had finished their conversation, Tian Jiao came to ask Deng Zong on horseback.

"Xiangguo must have a decisive battle with the Qin army in the Chenliu area, so we and other remnants also need to go south together. After all, we have lived in Chenliu for a long time. The terrain is also more familiar than others, and it takes a lot of time to ambush or design Let me wait. This can be regarded as an opportunity for you and me to make meritorious deeds from Xiangguo, and use it to offset the crime of Chen Liu's loss. General Tian must take good care of it, and don't miss this great opportunity!" Deng Zong had already figured it out, so he understood it for himself He told Tian Jiao exactly what he meant when he arrived at Zhoushi.

Tian Jiao didn't have any expectations at first, but Deng Zong was so eloquent, so he cupped his hands and thanked him: "Thank you General Deng for clarifying the confusion! Today's kindness, I will repay it in the future!"

Deng Zong laughed and said, "It's easy to say! It's easy to say!"

Along the way, Tian Jiao was discussing how to maximize the credit, in order to offset the guilt of losing Chen Liu because of himself.

Huang Xin didn't care about Deng Zong's army behind him, but led [-] cavalry on his own, wanting to test the strength of the Qin army first.

Deng Zong, Tian Jiao's troops and Tian Du's army joined together, and then Deng Zong temporarily led nearly [-] soldiers and horses to go south to Chenliu; Tian Jiao also took over the [-] Qi army.

Chen stay.

"So! Are the Wei and Qi allied forces coming to Chenliu?" Zhang Han got up and asked immediately after hearing Sima Xin's report.

"Yes, General! The Wei Qi coalition forces are all coming to Chenliu under the order of their commander Zhou Shi." Sima Xin bowed his hands very humbly.

Today's Sima Xin has added the rank of general in addition to being a long history.This can be regarded as Zhao Gao's method to check and balance Zhang Han.But the overseer was no longer Sima Xin, but the veteran Sima Cong who had just been transferred from Xianyang.

Sima Cong is the uncle of Sima Xin and the father of Sima Ren, and he can be regarded as a seasoned veteran in the Qin army!This person once participated in the battle of destroying Chu, Yan, and Qi.Although he is in his fifties now, he is still brave and still has few opponents in the army.

Although Sima Cong is the supervisor of the army, he is not from Zhao Gao.Instead, he was pushed out of the court by Zhao Gao and asked for his order to come to the front line.In today's state of Qin court, Feng Quji, the imperial censor, and Feng Jie, the imperial censor Zhongcheng, were all dismissed by Zhao Gao as civilians.

The power of Zhao Gao's family became stronger and stronger, and the people in Xianyang City were panicked.Not only because of the war in Kanto, but also because Zhao Gao was in power.

Fifty-nine thousand Hu people from Yuan County were recruited to form the Hu Qi Battalion, and Zhao Gao became more arrogant and domineering.Now he has openly used the emperor's chariot and honor guard outside, and even sits on the emperor's throne to help Hu Hai handle all political affairs.
