Chapter 704: World Trend

Xinzheng.

The beacon smoke fell, and the army besieged the city.

Tian Hu was defeated in Xingyang and led his army to retreat, preparing to go to Korea. However, before he was halfway there, he encountered Chen Shengjun.

The two armies fought in the wilderness. Tian Hu's army suffered a loss in Xingyang, and then was attacked by Chen Sheng's army. He could only retreat to the former capital of South Korea with his remaining army to resist.

But it didn't take long for Chen Sheng's army to catch up.

Tian Hu stood on the city wall and looked at the menacing Chen Shengjun outside.

"Damn it, Chen Sheng is going to kill them all!"

Tian Hu is the leader of a farm hall. He was originally from a rough background, but when he was in a desperate situation, he developed a ferocious nature.

"He wants me to die, and I won't let him live a good life."

Xinzheng is a large city and the capital of South Korea. It is a first-class prosperous place. However, during the battle for Qin to unify the world, Xinzheng suffered the aftermath of the war and suffered great damage.

The land where the Qin State established Korea was Yingchuan County, and the administrative seat was therefore in Yangdi.

But even so, the foundation of Xinzheng City as the old royal capital still exists and has not been completely eliminated in more than 20 years.

Chen Sheng's army numbered 110,000 to 20,000. After a big battle with Tian Hu's army, there were only 80,000 to 90,000 outside the city.

"Xiangguo..."

"What a fucking prime minister. I don't want Chen Sheng's appointment."

Tian Hu scolded the general who came to report. Under Tian Hu's anger, his generals lowered their heads.

"There are still more than 40,000 troops in the city."

"Why are there only so many people?"

Many of Tian Hu's troops were Wu Kuang's subordinates. After Tian Hu seized the military power, they had great resentment in their hearts.

First fighting the imperial army, and then fighting Chen Sheng's army, these people escaped and died. Most of the people who are still in Tian Hu's army today are the peasant disciples of Chiyoutang and Gonggongtang.

Tian Hu's question did not receive an answer from his subordinate generals, so he waved his hand.

"Put all the grain in the granaries in the city and kill the pigs and sheep so that the brothers will be full."

"But there is not much food left in the city, and we cannot tolerate such consumption!"

"I know." Tian Hu's face showed a ruthless look, "I want to fight to the death with Chen Sheng."

…

Chen Du.

Unlike the scene of raging war in the distance, Zhang Chujun's base camp was still peaceful at this time.

The stream flowed slowly, and Tian Yan sat alone in the small pavilion on the water bank, drinking tea from afar and waiting.

Soon, a person came here.

"Xia Kui!"

Tian Yan took a sip of tea and gently put down the cup. The person in front of him is Chen Sheng's attendant Lu Chen.

"sit down!"

Lu Chen sat opposite Tian Yan, very respectfully.

"Why did Chen Sheng attack Tian Hu so quickly?"

According to Tian Yan's prediction, the conflict between the two of them will not break out so soon. But she didn't expect that Chen Sheng would go out not long after Tian Hu's defeat.

"It's a rumor!"

"gossip?"

"For some reason, news has recently circulated in Chendu that Zhao Shuang and Tian Hu have reached a private agreement to make him the king of Han. The soldiers who were defeated from the front also said that Tian Hu retained his strength and intended to cede territory to become the king. In addition, There are many different rumors. When King Chen learned that Tian Hu had retreated to Han, he was furious and sent troops to attack."

Chen Di was the capital of Zhang Chu Kingdom and had already gathered a large amount of materials and soldiers. Chen Sheng was able to quickly mobilize the army.

Tian Yan took a sip of tea to hide his uneasiness. "Prince Chen is too impulsive. After this battle, the strength of Zhang Chu's army will definitely be greatly damaged, and the imperial army may take advantage of it. You go back and guard it well, and don't let anyone take advantage of it."

"yes!"

Zhang Chujun's defeat was much faster than she imagined, but it did not conflict with her original plan. But the reason why she was uneasy was because Zhao Shuang moved too fast and even took the lead in the plan.

But what Tian Yan was uneasy about finally turned into reality.

Just after Lu Chen left, a person appeared in front of her.

This man was very good-looking, polite, and led a horse. As soon as he opened his mouth, he revealed his identity in the waterside pavilion.

"Is there a peasant hero in front of you?"

"Exactly!"

Tian Yan was both curious and wary of this sudden person.

"My lord has asked me to give you a gift."

Tian Yan watched the man put two long boxes in front of his eyes, opened them, and his face changed drastically.

The two swords Xuanjian and Jingyu were quietly sitting in the box, just placed like that.

"You don't look like a nobody, do you?"

"My Excellency, Chen Ping, is now a counselor in Hanyang Jun's mansion."

"Chen Ping? I remember this name." Tian Yan closed the two sword boxes, "In the past, Lord Hanyang used these two swords from Zhao Gao for the wealth of a county, and today he wants to steal them from me. What do you get in your hands?”

"The peasant family has been defeated. It is easy for the hero to gather the remaining troops, but it is difficult to stand on one's own feet. My lord has said, let's take this as a reward!"

Tian Yan frowned and clenched his hands, anger welling up. .

"Then tell your lord, Tian Yan, thank you very much."

"Farewell Ping!"

Chen Ping got on his horse and left here.

Tian Yan's heart was agitated, and he felt full of frustration. He raised the two sword boxes and didn't care about the priceless swords inside.

"Zhao Shuang, sooner or later I will let you know that I am no longer the Ayan I was before!"

…

As night falls, the city gate of Xinzheng slowly opens.

An army took advantage of the night to leave the city and attacked Chen Sheng's camp outside the city.

On top of the city tower, the owner of Quicksand looked at all this with a stern expression.

Leaning a shark tooth on the tile in his hand, Chi Lian's voice rang in Wei Zhuang's ears.

"I didn't expect things to go smoother than expected."

Returning to this city again, the situation here has changed a lot compared to back then. There is even no trace of the capital of his homeland in Chi Lian's memory.

Wei Zhuang said nothing.

Tian Hu's army was not marching very fast, and even deliberately limited its speed for the sake of privacy.

Although Tian Hu is rough, he has been the leader of a farm hall for more than ten years. Some of the methods used in the arena are now used in the confrontation between the two armies, and they also have miraculous effects.

The flames of war resumed soon after, illuminating the dilapidated old capital of Korea. The sound of fighting could be heard faintly in the distance. The war was not over yet, but Wei Zhuang had already seen the ending.

He picked up the shark tooth and turned around, no longer looking at the scene.

"Marching and fighting is like fighting in the rivers and lakes. After leading the army for so long, these people still haven't made any progress!"

"Master Wei Zhuang already knows the result?"

"Since it's a fight between rivers and lakes, it's natural to win with more people, which is very boring."

"Then what is Master Wei Zhuang interested in?"

"The power of the world has changed today!"

Wei Zhuang left a word and then walked away into the distance. Chi Lian took one last look at the distant battlefield, smiled softly, and followed.
