The Way of Rebirth

Zhang Guifang's army had been marching for less than three days, and had not even left the Xiqi territory and entered the Nanbohou territory, but was recalled by an urgent edict issued by Xiqi. Zhang Guifang immediately read the edict written by Jifa, the Bohou of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

With a loud order, the entire army turned around and retreated to Xiqi. Fortunately, the army and horses did not enter the south, otherwise they would have been chased by Li Jing's troops. However, the army and horses went back and forth for several days, marching day and night, and their morale was weakened and their morale was weakened.

It is a bit difficult for Gaoluo to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

On the other side, after resting for the night, Nangong Shi's army in the north marched towards Chongcheng in a mighty manner. On top of the Chongcheng city wall, Chonghouhu looked at the surging people outside the wall and the Xiqi army with flags flying.

He stared, but it was because after losing his troops and generals in the battle with the Western Zhou army, his own army's morale was low and he had no desire to fight at all.

"Brother, these Western Zhou people are bullying others too much. Why don't you let me go and call for battle first?" Chong Heihu stood next to Chonghou Hu. He glanced at Chonghou Hu's expression. He had some concerns in his heart and immediately handed over to challenge.

"My dear brother, please be careful when you go here." Chonghou Hu nodded after hearing this and immediately ordered.

"Brother, wait a moment, I will go and defeat their prestige." After saying this, Chong Heihu turned around and walked down the city wall, mounted the golden-eyed beast, ordered three thousand flying tiger soldiers to open the gate of Chongcheng, and urged his mount to dance.

Grab a big ax and go to call for formation.

"Report" Nangong Shi was talking to the generals in the formation, and a messenger came.

"What's the matter?" Nangong Shi asked immediately while sitting on the throne.

"A general came out of the enemy's city with three thousand troops and horses and was calling for formation from the front troops," the ordering soldier immediately replied.

"Oh?" Nangong Shi heard this and raised his eyebrows, "Is there really anyone in Chonghou's camp who is not afraid of death? It seems that the killing of three of his generals in the previous series did not make him unforgettable, so I will give him another look today.

"After that, Nangong Shi walked to the weapon rail beside him and reached out to pick up the hanging sword. He turned around and walked out of the tent. An attendant had already brought the horse. After jumping on the horse, Nangong Shi crossed the sword in his hand and said, "I'll go.

"Huihui" then urged the horses to gallop towards the front of the formation.

Chongheihu rode on the golden-eyed beast and looked at the enemy camp. He saw that the tent gate was neatly decorated and concealed murderous intent. He was truly worthy of General Xiqi. Chongheihu nodded and was sighing.

But there was a sound of artillery and the sound of gongs and drums from the opposite side. A general riding a yellow horse with a machete in his hand and leading the army rushed out.

Seeing this, Chong Heihu looked around, only to see that the general was wearing a red chain mail, a large dragon robe on the back, a red flame helmet with red bird wings on his head, an exquisite blood jade belt around his waist, and his feet were shining on the falling clouds.

Shoes, holding an iron chain machete in his hand, and a yellow horse chasing the moon with hissing wind claws under his crotch. When looking at the general's appearance, he has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a burly appearance, a square face, tiger eyes and leopard beards, and piercing eyes.

"Who is coming?" Chong Heihu raised the golden ax in his hand and shouted loudly to the incoming person.

"I am Nangong Shi, the general of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Who are you?" Nangong Shi asked immediately when he saw that the man in front of him was handsome and majestic. He must be a famous hero from somewhere.

"Chong Heihu, Marquis of Caozhou" Chongheihu heard that the coming general was the General of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Nangong was overjoyed, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, "You Xiqi soldiers and horses are not guarding the territory of your own territory, how can you rely on force to commit crimes for no reason?"

My northern territory? I have good relations with your late master Ji Chang. Remembering our old friendship, I allow you to retreat. I will intercede for you in the direction of Chaoge."

"Hmph." Nangong Shi heard the words and snorted coldly, "Chong Heihu, don't you know that your brother has done evil all over the world, framed the loyal and virtuous, brutalized the kind, and everyone in the world hates him? There is an old saying: 'Rebellious ministers and traitors, everyone is a traitor.

If you get it, kill him. 'I, the Bohou Ji of Xiqi, have upheld the great righteousness of the world and asked for the orders of all the people to come to attack him. Why don't you abandon the secret and surrender to the light and submit to me in the Western Zhou Dynasty?"...

"Bastard" Chong Heihu was furious at that moment. "I'll kill you if you use forceful words to deprive yourself of your strength and vitality." He then activated the golden-eyed beast, danced the gold-dipped ax and headed towards Nangong Shi to kill General.

"I thought you admired Black Tiger, a hero in the world, and you tried to persuade me with good words, but unexpectedly you went too far to bully me. Do you really think that I, Nangong Shi, am afraid of you?" When Nangong Shi saw this, he also waved the sword in his hand, patted his horse and rushed towards him.

The two of them fought until the sky was dark, and it was just when they met an opponent in chess that they would meet a good talent. The two of them fought like a lantern, with swords and axes going back and forth. The one on one side glared angrily, the one on the other side stared wide-eyed, and so did the soldiers on both sides.

Encourage demonstrations for their respective generals. The two fought like this for three hundred rounds without deciding the outcome. Chong Heihu was clearly fighting bravely, but secretly he kept urging the golden-eyed beast to sit down and move Nangong Shi's horse aside.

squeeze.

Nangong Shi also knew what he meant from Chong Heihu's expression, and secretly urged the horse to move to one side. Then the two of them started fighting horizontally. The horses ran side by side to one place, and soon they were far away from the battlefield.

.

"General Nangong, take a rest." Chong Heihu saw that he was far away from the battle formation. He immediately forced Nangong Shi's sword back with his big ax and shouted, "I came here to tell you that I will capture your brother tonight. Today I just came out."

Coping with it”

"The general is really a sensible person." Nangong Shi was immediately happy after hearing this. "General, you have to be careful when taking action tonight, so as not to leak the news."

"What I'm worried about now is that my nephew Chong Yingbiao is not in the city, which may cause trouble," Chong Heihu said with a frown.

"It doesn't matter. As long as the general captures Chonghou Hu, we will march into Chongcheng tomorrow. Even if Chaoge's army comes, it won't be a problem," Nangong said with a smile.

"Since the general said this, I am no longer worried." Chong Heihu nodded and said, "Then the general needs to cooperate."

"It doesn't matter." Nangong Shi nodded knowingly after hearing the words, "In order to conquer the great cause of business, what if I get a little injured?"

"I'm so offended." Hearing this, Chong Heihu said, cupping his hands, and then slashed Nangong Shi's right shoulder with a golden ax in his hand. Blood gushed out, dyeing the red armor particularly brightly.

"General, please be careful." Nangong Qi held the horse with his left hand, held the sword in his right hand tremblingly, and urged the horse to rush towards his army. Seeing this, Chong Heihu danced his two axes, urging the golden-eyed beast to chase after him.

Then they returned to the battlefield. Xiqi saw that Nangong Shi was seriously injured, and Chong Heihu was still chasing after him. Then the army rushed out and rescued Nangong Shi.

On the city wall of Chongcheng, Chonghou Hu was overjoyed when he saw that his brother had wounded Nangong. He led his generals to order their troops and horses to attack the city. A big melee broke out outside the city. After an hour of fighting, the Western Zhou army was defeated.

Chonghou Hu led the army and retreated into the city in high spirits.

"Today, thanks to my brave and invincible brother, I cut down the enemy Nangong Shi. We just won a victory. I vent my hatred, happily, happily." After entering the city, Chonghouhu patted Chongheihu on the shoulder and laughed,

"I have a good brother, so why worry about the Western Zhou army and horses not being defeated?"

"Brother, you're welcome. All the soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy today. I was just lucky enough to defeat the enemy general. The real siege was done by the soldiers under my brother," Chong Heihu said humbly, cupping his hands.

"Hahaha, why are you so humble?" Chonghou Hu looked up to the sky and laughed when he heard this. "Others don't know your skills, how can I not know it? With my skills, it is easy to defeat the general of the Western Zhou Dynasty."

Suddenly Chonghou Hu smiled and asked Chong Heihu, "I just don't know, brother, why don't you use the skill of handling people that you learned from the master today? Otherwise, Nangong Shi will definitely be a prisoner."

"Brother, I don't know. Jiang Ziya, the Prime Minister of the Western Zhou Dynasty, is a disciple of the Chan Sect and a man of Taoism. I'm afraid that I am also on guard against my foolish brother's spells, so I don't dare to use them casually." Chong Heihu heard his brother ask this question, and felt in his heart

I was shocked and immediately thought of an excuse to deal with it...

"What about Jiang Ziya?" Chonghou Hu frowned when he heard this, "He is just a charlatan and a magician, seeking fame and reputation. Why is this wise brother so afraid of him?"

"Brother, I'm not afraid of Jiang Ziya. It's just as the ancients said, you have to be cautious in everything. If Yu brother uses his ability to take advantage of people today and is discovered by them, please invite some experts from the outside world. We in the north will be the best."

It’s over, you must know that the several conquests of the Great Shang were defeated by those masters of Huawai." Chong Heihu shook his head when he heard this.

"Well, what I'm reminding you is," Chonghou Hu nodded after hearing the words, "but brother Wei didn't think of this. Forget it, the victory of the army today is a happy event, brother Xian will go with brother Wei to the celebration banquet.

"Drunk before resting"

"Foolish brother, go ahead and give some instructions on how to defend the city, then go to the banquet. Brother, go first." Chong Heihu said with a flash of light in his eyes when he heard this and cupped his hands.

"Okay" Chong Houhu didn't notice any changes in his brother Chong Heihu. Without any doubt, he immediately took off his armor and went to the hall to hold a banquet and wait for his brother's arrival.

After Chong Heihu saw his brother leaving, he stretched out his hand to summon his general Gao Ding. Shen Gang ordered: "Gao Ding will light up the knife and axemen tonight and fifty men will ambush outside the main hall. Just wait for my signal to be sent out and then rush in and capture the rest. Shen Gang

We are guarding the city tonight. If the Western Zhou army and horses come, don't make any noise. Open the city gate and put them all inside the city."

"General..." Shen Gang was stunned when he heard this.

"Could the general want to defect to Xiqi?" Gao Ding also looked at Chong Heihu in surprise.

"Alas, today's general trend is that the Great Shang Dynasty has begun to decline. The current king is also as ignorant and unprincipled as Xia Jie. However, the monarchs of the two generations of the Western Zhou Dynasty are both wise people. Moreover, the great teachings of the ancient times have provided great help. It can be seen that

I should have obtained the power of heaven, and the union should be prosperous, but I am helpless. In order for my Chong family to continue to be popular, I can only feel sorry for my brother." Chong Heihu shook his head and sighed after hearing this.

"In this case, we should obey the general's orders." The two generals looked at each other and said, then they went to start preparations.

"Alas" Chong Heihu turned around and looked at Bohou Palace with a long sigh, and then set off for the banquet.

Not long after, Chonghou Hu sat on the banquet and raised his wine glass to the generals for a drink as a penalty. Then he started eating and drinking happily with everyone. At the banquet, they drank and drank with each other. All the generals congratulated Chong Heihu on his victory and raised their wine glasses.

They all respectfully accompanied the wine. After an hour, everyone in the room was sitting drunkenly at the table. Chong Heihu looked at these people and sighed: Now that the enemy is in front of them, these people can still drink and have fun like this. This is the Shang Dynasty.

If this is the case, how can the country not be subjugated? After thinking about it, the wine cup in my hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and then I heard footsteps coming from outside the house. A group of people rushed into the inner hall and captured Chonghou Hu and others.

.

Chonghou Hu was so shocked that he sobered up, only to see his virtuous brother drinking alone in the house. He didn't know why, so he shouted loudly: "My dear brother, I have given a banquet to congratulate you today, but you are congratulating me for my brother."

Take it, what’s going on?”

Hearing this, Chong Heihu put down the wine cup in his hand, stood up and said to Chonghou Hu: "Brother, as Beibeihou, you are the head of the princes in the world, and you are a very human minister, but you don't cultivate benevolence.

Virtue, you deceived the court, colluded with treacherous officials, and ruined the ancestral order. In the previous period, you supervised the construction of Lutai, and your evil spread throughout the world. All the people in the world hate you to the bone and eat your flesh. The princes from all sides want to unite to suppress me. Today, the official of the Western Zhou Dynasty is scattered.

Yi Sheng wrote a book for me to distinguish between the wise and the foolish for my Chong clan. His reasoning was very clear and made me realize. Because I, the foolish brother, dare to betray the imperial court, I will also take my brother to the Western Zhou camp to be convicted. I only offended my ancestors by doing this.

, but it can exchange for understanding in the world and eliminate the disaster of destroying my Chong family and cutting off the incense."

Hearing this, Chonghou Hu stretched out his right hand and pointed at Chong Heihu. He was about to curse loudly, but suddenly he let out a long sigh and lowered his stretched out right hand helplessly...

"Brother," Chong Heihu said with cupped hands, "I'm sorry for offending you, stupid brother." He bowed, then waved his right hand, and everyone in the room was led out by the sergeant. Chong Heihu called Gao Ding, asked about it, and then turned around again

Go to your sister-in-law's place to avoid running into your own family in the chaos.

Suddenly Shen Gang, who was guarding the city, rushed over and said, "General, something bad has happened."

"What?" Chong Heihu was shocked when he heard this, and immediately asked, "What disaster happened?"

"Sun Rong, the general of the Grand Master's family, got the news somehow. He led 30,000 troops and horses to break through the south gate and fled to the south. At last, the generals and horses could not stop him. I am afraid that the disaster will be serious, so I came to report it." Shen Gang got off his horse and knelt on the ground.

"What?" Chong Heihu was shocked when he heard this, "Where are the other 200,000 people?"

"General, please rest assured. Although there are many troops and horses, the general's prestige is there after all, and there is no drastic action. The general has sent 30,000 troops and horses to guard them," Shen Gang immediately replied.

"So, if I go there in person and these more than 200,000 horses cause chaos, we will not be able to control it." After hearing this, Chong Heihu immediately gave up the idea of ​​going to comfort his sister-in-law and niece, and immediately rode the golden-eyed beast to Chongqing.

The city camp rushed away without mentioning it.

Here, the Shang Dynasty's 150,000 troops and Chongying Biao's 30,000 horses camped and rested. All the generals were waiting for Emperor Xin's dispatch in the Chinese army's tent. Emperor Xin sat on the throne, and the generals under the tent were divided into two rows.

They all spoke solemnly and sat upright in the tent. An attendant opened the map and placed it in front of Emperor Xin.

Suddenly, a general broke in from outside the tent and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, there is an army horse coming outside the military camp. The leader shouted and asked to see your Majesty."

"Oh?" Di Xin had a clear understanding when he heard this, but on the surface he showed no signs of it. He just frowned and asked, "How many soldiers and horses are there?"

"There are nearly 30,000 people, and they are all out of breath. They must have been marching all night," the general reported.

"Call him in," Di Xin waved his hand and ordered.

"Your Majesty, the origin of this army and horse is unknown. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to let him in so easily." Chong Yingbiao stood up and said.

"Hahaha..." Di Xin looked up to the sky and laughed when he heard this, "Is the young general worried that my merchant army and horses cannot protect me?".

"I don't dare," Chong Yingbiao said immediately after seeing this, "I'm just being cautious, I'm a little worried."

"Nephew, don't worry this time," Huang Feihu said with a smile, "My merchant army and horses are brave and good at fighting. I don't think his 30,000 horses can do anything."

"The general is worrying too much," Chong Yingbiao immediately bowed and replied after hearing this.

Not long after, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and a man came in. He knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, something bad has happened."

"Uncle Sun?" Chong Yingbiao said immediately when he saw the person coming.

"Young Master" saw Chong Yingbiao and burst into tears.

"Do you know each other?" Di Xin asked when he saw this.

"Your Majesty, this general is the family general brought by the father of the last general. His surname is Sun Mingrong. He is a close general of my father. But I don't know why he came here tonight." Chong Yingbiao stood up and replied.

"What brings you here?" Emperor Xin immediately asked Sun Rong when he saw this.

"Your Majesty, Caozhou Hou Chong Black Tiger colluded with the rebels and captured Bohou. Now he opened the gate of Chong City to let the Western Zhou rebels enter the city. The last general led 30,000 troops and horses to break through bravely and came to ask for help." Sun Rong knelt down and cried.

He said, "Please, Your Majesty, send troops quickly to save my Bohou."

"What?" Chong Yingbiao was dizzy when he heard the words. He shook his body and was about to fall down. He was caught by Yin Pobai beside him. He woke up and turned around, furious, "I never thought that my second uncle would be so unkind and unjust."

, actually caused the death of a relative? Your Majesty, please issue an edict. I will lead the troops to save my father right now. I will definitely capture this guy with my own hands and bring him to trial."

"Don't be impatient, young general," Di Xin said immediately, "This black tiger has extraordinary abilities. If you lead the army with your ability, you may be like your father, who was captured and died at the hands of a villain"...

"King" Chong Yingbiao still wants to say more.

"You don't need to say more," Di Xin waved his hand and yelled, "You are so anxious now that you will die if you lead any number of troops and horses."

Chong Yingbiao's body shook when he heard this, his eyes opened angrily, and his hands clenched tightly into fists. If he hadn't taken into account that he was in the Chinese army's tent at this time, I'm afraid that Chong Yingbiao would have become angry at that moment and lit up his army and horses in the starry night.

He wanted to fight back to Chongcheng, but now the great Shang king in front of him kept stopping him, and Chong Yingbiao suddenly felt aggrieved.

"Where is Huang Feihu?" Di Xin ignored Chong Yingbiao's current appearance and shouted loudly.

"The end will be here," Huang Feihu immediately stood up and responded with his hands raised.

"I order you to lead fifty thousand troops overnight, take Chong Yingbiao's army and 30,000 horses, and quickly attack Chongcheng with Chong Yingbiao as the vanguard," Di Xin said immediately.

"The final general's decree," Huang Feihu said with cupped hands.

"General, thank you so much, Your Majesty." Chong Yingbiao was overjoyed when he heard this and knelt down on the ground and said, "General, I would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty for His kindness and I will die to pieces to repay Your Majesty's favor." After saying that, Chong Yingbiao rushed out of the tent like a whirlwind.

Thirty thousand troops and horses were ordered to wait for Huang Feihu's troops to set off.

"You are here to make a good living, and you must kill the traitorous general Nangong Shi to avenge Bei Bohou," Emperor Xin ordered Huang Feihu.

"The final general's decree." Huang Feihu felt strange when he heard this, but it was not easy to ask now, so he responded loudly, turned around and walked out of the tent, ordered an army of fifty thousand, mounted a colorful sacred bull, and ordered all the brothers to go out in great force.

Dang and drive to Chongcheng...
