The Way of Rebirth

But he said that Chong Heihu immediately captured his brother Chonghouhu and some generals in Chongcheng, tied them up and put them in prison. At the same time, he sent his soldiers to the Western Zhou camp to report, and he personally led the troops and horses to station in the Chongcheng military camp. , to prevent the more than 200,000 troops and horses in the city from rebelling. At the same time, Sun Rong, the general of the Hu family of Chonghou, reported the news of the incident to the Dashang Army Camp. That night, they ordered an army of 50,000 with Huang Feihu as the general, and Chong Yingbiao with 30,000 northern troops and horses as the general. The vanguard set out overnight for Chongcheng.

In the Western Zhou camp, Nangong Shi was sitting on the throne, and the generals of the Western Zhou Dynasty were lined up on both sides of the tent. They were just waiting for the news from Chongcheng. Their respective troops were ready and waiting for Nangong Shi's order. Not long after, the curtains were lifted. , as soon as the general came in, San Yisheng raised his eyes and recognized that this person was Shen Gang, the general of Caozhou Hou Chong's black tiger tent. At that moment, he felt happy, knowing the purpose of this person's coming.

"The marquis of Caozhou went down to the sunken hill to see the general," the general said, kneeling on the ground and cupping his hands.

"Oh?" Nangong Shi couldn't help but reveal a bright smile after hearing this. Then he stood up and waved his hand, "The Marquis of Caozhou is indeed a man. He said that everyone will obey orders."

"General, please give me your orders." All the Xiqi generals in the two rows in the tent stood up and responded with their hands in hand.

"Light up the army and horses, and follow me into the city." Nangong Shi looked up to the sky and laughed, "In this way, the purpose of our trip has been completed."

"General, our army's scouts have reported that the Great Shang army is less than forty miles away from us," a soldier said.

"Huh?" Nangong Shi frowned when he heard this. He called his attendants to open the map and put it on the desk. After looking at it for a long time, Nangong Shi asked, "Do you know who the commander of the army and horses is?"

"Looking at the flag, it looks like King Zhou of the Great Shang Dynasty is marching in person," the general responded immediately.

"King Zhou himself?" Nangong Shi heard a flash of fire in his eyes, and his right hand involuntarily touched the sword hanging on his waist.

"General", all the generals in the tent were very excited when they heard this, "Now that our army's Northern Expedition has arrived, and the great King Zhou of Shang has come, why not take this opportunity to capture and kill him in one fell swoop, shaking the world, and showing off my great power in the Western Zhou Dynasty? "

"Yeah" Nangong Shi nodded after hearing this.

"Wait a minute," San Yisheng immediately stopped him, and then asked the general, "Do you know how many soldiers and horses that big merchant has?"

"About 150,000 people," the general replied.

"150,000 people?" Nangong Shi was really tempted.

"General, my lord once discovered from Chongcheng's military records that Beibohou had sent 30,000 horses to greet him. Last night, Sun Rong, the general of Beibohou's family, led 30,000 horses to break out and escape. I guess now They have also arrived at the Great Shang Army, so the Great Shang Army should now number 210,000 people," Shen Gang said immediately.

"Twenty-one thousand people?" Nangong Shi frowned when he heard this, thinking that his own soldiers and horses were only three hundred thousand, so it would be really difficult to capture King Zhou with 210,000 horses in one fell swoop.

"But..." Shen Gang suddenly stopped talking.

"But what?" Nangong Shi asked immediately after hearing this.

"In my Chong City, the lord Cao Zhouhou has 50,000 soldiers and horses, and there are more than 200,000 northern troops and horses in the city. If the general uses them, he can surely make up an army of 500,000. If we want to defeat this army, if we want to defeat this army. It is not difficult for the Great Shang army and horses. What's more, now that Chongcheng has been occupied by us, the generals, soldiers and horses can all be stationed in Chongcheng to wait for work. The enemies of the Great Shang army and horses who came from afar are just easy to capture?" Shen Gang said with his hands.

"There are still 250,000 horses in the city?" Nangong Shi's eyes flashed brightly when he heard this, and he moved back and forth in the tent.

"General, the most important thing now is to march into Chongcheng. This matter of the merchant army and horses needs to be in the hands of Chongcheng before we can discuss it." At the moment, San Yisheng was not sure whether he should attack the merchant army and horses, so he had to remind Nangong of the important matter at hand.

suitable.

"That's right." Nangong Shi nodded and said after hearing this, "I was almost confused by the matter of the Shang Dynasty's army and horses and forgot about this important matter. Please march your generals and horses into Chongcheng first, and then discuss the matter of the Shang Dynasty's army and horses"...

"The last general takes orders." All the generals in the tent bowed in response. Then they walked out of the tent and went back to their own barracks, lit up their military horses, and drove to Chongcheng overnight. Nangong Shi took the lead, holding a machete in his hand and riding a claw.

The yellow horse looked towards Chongcheng with a smile. Above Chongcheng, the defenders saw the banner of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and immediately ordered the army and horses to open the city gate and put the Western Zhou army into Chongcheng. Since then, the purpose of the Northern Expedition of the Western Zhou Dynasty was achieved.

Chong Heihu was in charge of the Chongcheng camp. He suddenly heard that Nangong Shi was leading the Western Zhou army and horses into Chongcheng. He left the army and horses alone and rode the golden-eyed beast alone to the Chongcheng palace. He would see him after a short walk.

The general of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Gongxi, and Mao Gong then led some troops and horses to come, saluted each other, Chong Heihu informed them of the location of the military camp, and then continued to the royal city.

Not long after, Chong Heihu arrived outside the royal city. All the palaces were controlled by the Western Zhou army and horses. Seeing this, Chong Heihu was not dissatisfied. He took off his golden eyes and gave them to his attendants. He then straightened up his appearance and went to the palace.

We walked into the city and soon entered the palace hall. Nangong Shi was sitting on the throne, and San Yisheng and others were lined up on both sides, waiting for the arrival of Chong Heihu.

"The last general will meet the great general," Chong Heihu said, looking at Nangong Shi who showed no expression on his surface.

"The Marquis of Caozhou is here." Nangong stood up appropriately and walked down the hall. He smiled and patted Chong Heihu on his right shoulder, "The general is really a man of faith, but I don't know where Beibo Marquis Chonghouhu is now?"

"I will keep him in the prison for the time being and wait for the general to come and deal with it," Chong Heihu replied immediately, handing over his hand.

"Very good." Nangong turned around and walked up to the throne in the palace to sit down. He waved his hand and said, "Come here, bring Bei Bohou Chonghou Hu."

"General" Chong Heihu bowed his hands and said, "But I don't know how the general will deal with my brother's family?"

"I'll take them all to Xiqi," Nangong said with a smile.

"But I don't know how Xibohou wants to deal with all the matters in the north?" Chong Heihu asked again.

"Of course, I will leave it to you, Marquis Caozhou, to rule." San Yisheng took the words and said loudly, "But I wonder if Marquis Caozhou has any opinions?".

"I don't dare to have any opinions. I just think of the ancient saying: 'The crime is not as bad as the family.' My sister-in-law and niece are just prostitutes, how can they be implicated in this matter? So what I think is that I have done a disservice to my family by killing my relatives in a righteous way."

"How can you put your brother's family in a desperate situation again? If you don't hand them over to the general's care, it will reduce the general's guilt on your brother," Chong Heihu said in return, handing over his hand.

"This..." Nangong Shi frowned when he heard this.

"Marquis Caozhou is worthy of being a famous person in the world, as he said," San Yisheng agreed immediately.

"In this case, I would like to thank the doctor and Bohou for your kindness." Chong Heihu finally smiled when he heard this.

"How dare you, the general is now the head of the princes, I am just a small Western Zhou Dynasty official, how can I let the general do this?" San Yisheng said with a smile, then looked at Nangong Shi, "General, now

The Marquis of Caozhou is already the leader of the northern princes, it is better not to surpass him."

"Haha, this is my fault." Nangong Shi heard this and immediately knew what San Yisheng was talking about. He immediately laughed and walked off the throne, "Since the Marquis of Caozhou is already the head of the northern princes, this throne is suitable for you to sit on."

"Now that my brother is still here, the general dare not sit down," Chong Heihu said, shaking his head.

"In this case, I won't insist on it anymore," Nangong Shi said with a smile.

At this moment, the soldiers had brought Chonghou Tiger up. At this time, Chonghou Tiger did not look like a noble prince. His clothes were disheveled, his hair was scattered on his shoulders, and his eyes were dull. After entering the palace,

, Chong Houhu looked at Chong Heihu and moved his mouth, but did not say anything. He just lowered his head and ignored his brothers who grew up in his family. When he saw the generals of the Western Zhou Dynasty, his eyes suddenly flashed fiercely, and he opened his mouth to curse: "You guys

These treasonous traitors, today I, Chonghou Hu, am about to die. I admit it, even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go.

Ying Biao can cut off the head of your Nangong thief and come to worship”….

"Huh, old thief." Nangong Shi was furious after hearing this. He quickly stepped forward and kicked Chonghou Hu to the ground, "Do you think your loyal king will really come to avenge you?

?Hahaha, let me tell you, he can't even protect himself, and he still wants to kill me, Nangong Shi?"

"Hahaha..." Chonghou Hu looked up to the sky and laughed loudly when he heard this, "You ordinary man, you dare to utter such arrogant words even if your life is at risk. My king has countless merits and virtues, how can you, a bunch of young people, match this?

Even that kid Ji Fa and your old ghost Ji Chang can’t even hope to compare with my king.”

"Bastard" Nangong Shi heard this and kicked him a few more times. After breaking a few mouthfuls, he shouted loudly, "Come here, drag this man down and behead him to thank the world for his crime and his infamy for eternity."

A soldier came over and dragged Chonghou Hu outside the palace.

"General, what should we do with those generals?" Chong Heihu asked.

"Kill them all," Nangong Shi said in a cold voice as his anger continued.

"No," San Yisheng stopped him, "Once there is such a mass killing, I am afraid that our Western Zhou army will become famous all over the world."

"What should the doctor's opinion be?" Nangong Shi asked after hearing this.

"How about leaving it to the Marquis of Caozhou?" San Yisheng said immediately.

"So..." Nangong Shi thought for a moment after hearing this, nodded and said, "Very good, very good. Since he is under Bei Bohou, we can't interfere and leave it to Caozhou Marquis."

"Thank you very much," Chong Heihu said with his hands in hand.

"Now the Great Shang army is only forty miles away from here. There are about 210,000 soldiers and horses. I want to mobilize all the soldiers and horses in the city to attack the Great Shang army and even take the opportunity to kill King Zhou in the battle formation.

, How about settling the world in one fell swoop?" Nangong appropriately asked Xiang Chong Heihu.

"With the power of a great general, it would be easy to kill that faint king, so I will go down and prepare now." A glimmer of light flashed in Chong Heihu's eyes.

"Hahaha, Marquis Caozhou thinks so too, so we will call for formation tomorrow." Nangong Shi was overjoyed when he heard this.

"No," San Yisheng shook his head and stretched out his hand and said, "From what I can see, since the purpose of our trip has been achieved, why not just give up and return to Xiqi, and don't stay in the north any longer."

"Doctor, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Nangong said appropriately.

"General, I think there is some fraud here," San Yisheng said aloud.

"What's the trick?" Nangong asked with a frown.

"First, since the merchant army knows that I have an army of 300,000 people from the Western Zhou Dynasty, how can they dare to come to fight with 150,000 people, and it is the King Zhou himself? Secondly, although our army has already occupied Chongcheng at this time, However, the north has not been completely conquered. With the might of the Great Shang, our army may be in danger of being surrounded. Thirdly, although there are many troops and horses in Chongcheng, they are not loyal to us in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and they are very likely to betray us. I'm afraid the situation will get out of hand by then," San Yisheng explained one by one.

"Hahaha, the doctor is only worried about the long term. Our army can decide on a battle tomorrow. If the merchant army wants to fight a protracted war, we will immediately send our troops back to Xiqi. What will they do?" Nangong Yiyi Xia said with a smile.

"This..." San Yisheng thought for a long time and could only nod his head and said, "That's what the general said."

As a result, soldiers and horses surged in Chongcheng, which lasted until midnight before calming down. On the other side, Huang Feihu led the army to Chongcheng at night. The outline of Chongcheng could be seen in the distance. Huang Feihu stopped the soldiers and horses with a wave of his spear. Moving forward, he urged the sacred cow to go forward and take a look, then turned around and said, "Generals, listen to the order and set up camp here. We will call for formation tomorrow."

"Marshal, Chongcheng is approaching, why don't you attack the city?" Chong Yingbiao urged his horse forward and asked, "At this time, the enemy will definitely be unprepared and our army will be able to hit it with one blow"...

"My nephew, I don't know, the Xiqi army has been stationed in Chongcheng at this time, and there are more than 500,000 soldiers and horses in it. Even if our troops and horses capture Chongcheng, the chaos will probably harm the people in the city," Huang Feihu said with a smile. , "Don't worry, my dear nephew. Tomorrow my uncle will kill Nangong Shi and that fellow to avenge you and rest here tonight."

"This..." Chong Yingbiao originally wanted to say more when he heard this, but when he turned around and saw that his troops and horses were all exhausted and their morale was low, he could only nod in agreement and gritted his teeth as he looked in the direction of Chongcheng.

In the early morning of the next day, Nangong Shi and the generals in the Chongcheng Palace were discussing in the palace. Suddenly Gao Ding, the general guarding the city, ran in quickly and knelt down on the ground: "General, a military horse suddenly appeared outside the city. Please invite me." The general will make a decision as soon as possible."

"Huh?" Nangong Shi was a little surprised when he heard this, and then asked, "How many soldiers and horses are there on this road, and whose flag is they flying?"

"The flag is that of the Great Shang Army and Horses, with the word 'Chong' written in big letters on it. It looks like there are 80,000 people in total," Gao Ding immediately replied with his hands in hand.

"Chong?" Nangong Shi heard this and looked at Chong Heihu, "I have never seen any general named Chong in this big merchant."

"General, if the general does not expect this person to be the nephew of the general, Chong Yingbiao."

"It turns out it's this bastard." After Nangong Shi heard this, he immediately remembered what happened when he was angered by Chonghou Hu last night. He became furious, picked up the sword and walked out of the palace, "Let me personally send them father and son off." "Reunion"

"General" When all the generals in the palace saw this, they all rushed out of the palace. They each ordered their men and horses, took weapons, mounted their mounts and chased after Nangong Shi.

Chong Yingbiao rode a black horse with a snake spear in his hand and watched Chongcheng's anger rising. Not long after, he saw the gate of Chongcheng opened wide, and a general jumped out, holding a sword in his hand, and sat down on the yellow horse. , wearing a red battle armor, walked out majestically. Chong Yingbiao was furious when he saw the visitor, pointed the snake spear in his hand at the general and shouted angrily: "Are you Nangong Shipifu?"

"It's me. Are you Chong Yingbiao, the bastard of Chonghou Tiger?" Nangong Shi dragged the sword in his hand to the ground, looked at Chong Yingbiao with side eyes and snorted coldly.

"Bastard" Chong Yingbiao was furious when he heard this, "Your Xiqi army came to invade our north for no reason, do you still have the law in your eyes?".

"Hahaha," Nangong Shi heard the words and looked up to the sky and laughed, "You idiots are ignorant, don't you know that I, Xiqi, have openly rebelled against the Great Shang? Even the armies of the Great Shang went to attack me, Xiqi, and they all ended in defeat. You are the only one

How dare a yellow-haired brat tell me the king's law?"

"Old man, take your life." Chong Yingbiao was furious at that moment. He urged his black horse and danced his spear to kill him.

"Huh!" Nangong Shi also urged his mount and came forward with a sword. The two horses charged at each other. Chong Yingbiao immediately stabbed Nangong Shi with his spear. Nangong Shi smiled slightly and waved the sword in his hand.

In order to fend off Chong Yingbiao's offensive, Chong Yingbiao's move was not only a feint, but the horizontal spear was slashed towards Nangong Shi's waist. Nangong Shi was startled and broke into a cold sweat, kicked his legs, and then flew into the air with counter force.

, escaped Chong Yingbiao’s move.

When Chong Yingbiao saw Nangong Shi flying in the air, he stopped the snake spear in his hand, took it back and stabbed into the air. Nangong Shi saw Chong Yingbiao in the air and thrust the spear again, so he swung his sword and knocked the snake spear aside.

Landing on the horse, he raised the big knife in his hand and slashed at Chongying Biaotian's spiritual cover. Seeing Nangong Shi acting like this, Chongying Biao sneered slightly, waved his left hand, sat down, and stepped aside, avoiding Nangong Shi's attack.

Attack, and then Chong Yingbiao takes advantage of the length of the snake spear in his hand to stab him.

Nangong Shi felt a little angry in his heart. This Chong Ying Biao was really difficult to deal with. He immediately slashed hard with the sword in his hand, forcing Chong Ying Biao to panic for a moment. When Nangong Shi saw this, his heart became fierce, and his hands increased their strength and kept attacking Chong Ying Biao.

After all, Chong Yingbiao was still young and inexperienced when he used the killer. Although he held on with a burst of anger in his chest for a while, he began to show signs of failure as time went by. Nangong Shi felt happy when he saw this, and he attacked even more...

Suddenly a light flashed in the big commercial camp, Nangong Shi was startled, he used his hand to strike at Chong Yingbiao, and then took advantage of the reaction force of Chong Yingbiao's block to dodge away. Chong Yingbiao was also struck by Nangong Yingbiao.

With enough force, he could force him back dozens of steps with one blow.

"The majestic General Nangong actually bullies people like this." A man appeared in front of the formation, slowly retracted the thrusting spear, and said with a smile.

For a moment, Xiqi's army took a cold breath. Even Nangong Shi, who was showing off his power just now, shrank his eyes and trembled when he saw the coming person. The man in front of the formation had a different appearance, a dignified appearance, five long beards, and a fluttering head.

Afterwards, a pair of red phoenix eyes flashed, and the silkworm eyebrows were straight and calm, wearing a golden battle armor, carrying a cold and bright silver gun, riding a five-color sacred bull, walking leisurely in front of the formation.

"Huang Feihu?" These three words came out of Nangong Shi's mouth in surprise and panic.

"The traitor has no ability to bully children, so come and fight with me." Huang Feihu urged the sacred bull to kill Nangong Shi. Nangong Shi was shocked. Before the sword in his hand could react, he saw a huge force.

The force hit him, and then Nangong Shi felt an unbearable pain in his heart, and his body seemed to be flying in the air, and then he fell heavily to the ground.

Huang Feihu looked at Nangong Shi who was knocked to the ground and sneered disdainfully, "Thieves who don't overestimate their abilities dare to underestimate my great merchant army."

"Huang Feihu, don't bully others too much." Mao Gongsui flashed out of Chongcheng, and the four generals Zhao Gongxi, Bi Gong, and Rong Gong urged their horses to come up to help. Nangong Shi woke up, turned around, and then mounted the yellow horse with claws to continue the battle. The five generals then besieged Huang Feihu.

Chong Yingbiao was about to step forward to help, when a man riding a golden-eyed beast and wielding a big ax appeared to stop Chong Yingbiao.

"Uncle" Chong Yingbiao looked at the man in front of him with a very complicated expression. On the one hand, he was the uncle who watched him grow up, and on the other hand, he was the murderer of his father. At this time, this uncle came up to fight, Chong Yingbiao

He had no choice but to fight.

"Ying Biao's martial arts skills have improved a lot in the past few years." Chong Heihu and Chong Yingbiao fought for dozens of rounds and nodded in praise.

"Uncle, don't make fun of your nephew," Chong Yingbiao immediately replied, "Uncle and my father are brothers, so how could he be so cruel?"

"Alas..." A hint of helplessness flashed in Chong Heihu's eyes when he heard this, "How can a child like you understand what is going on here? Today, my uncle will let you go because you are the only son of my brother. You'd better retreat."

Then he turned the golden-eyed beast and rushed to one side.

Huang Feihu showed great courage here, and the bright silver spear in his hand danced like a silver dragon. Soon he would summon Duke Xi, Duke Mao, Duke Bi, and Duke Rong off their horses. Nangong Shi was panicked when he saw this, and immediately sat down.

The horse with yellow claws fled in one direction.

"Where are the thieves going?" Huang Feihu immediately urged the sacred bull to chase him, and kept thrusting with the spear in his hand. While the two were entangled, they left the battle formation and ran towards a forest. Nangong was in a hurry when he suddenly saw a person flashing out in front of him and shouted loudly.

Shouting: "General, save me"

Unexpectedly, with a flash of cold light, Nangong Shi's head flew up into the air and landed on the ground with a look of disbelief. Then Nangong Shi's body fell to the ground. Seeing this, Huang Feihu sighed, put away the spear in his hand, turned over and dismounted.

He picked up Nangong Shi's head, hung it next to the sacred cow, got on his horse, bowed his hands to the man, then turned the cow's head and ran towards his military formation...
