Ah Fei's marksmanship was beyond Zhang Ren's imagination. He never expected that Tao Shang would use such a strategy to plot against him, and that the plan would go so smoothly.
One after another generals came to fight with him, this was by design.
From the weakest Yan at the beginning, to the strong general Dong Xi, and finally to the famous Xu Huang in the southeast, although the martial arts of these generals are of varying levels, one thing is the same in the end, that is, they were all defeated by
Zhang Ren's men.
As a result, Zhang Ren's confidence suddenly surged unknowingly, especially when Xu Huang fled the battlefield after a battle with him. This was an infinitely glorious thing in Zhang Ren's view, and
There was an illusion in his mind.
I am quite invincible!
He was a general in Sichuan, and although he never slackened off his training every day, the only people in Sichuan who could compete with him were the people in Sichuan. When it came to the art of war, only Huang Quan could compare with him; when it came to wisdom, Huang Quan was the only one who could compete with him.
The enemy can only be corrected by Fa Zheng; when it comes to martial arts, the only one who can compete with him is Yan Yan.
But all in all, Zhang Ren thinks that he is stronger than these three people.
Therefore, young Zhang Ren had long secretly decreed himself the No. 1 Divine General of Xichuan.
Now that he has left Xichuan, Zhang Ren also wants to take the opportunity to test his position in the food chain among the generals in the world.
Find out if you are herbivorous or carnivorous.
In the end, it was okay not to try it. Once he tried it, the situation was much better than he imagined.
I'm actually a carnivore!
Zhang Ren was very proud. Standing at the top of the food chain, he naturally looked down on the immature and young Ah Fei, so he acted very casually and was extremely trusting.
If he makes such a big move, Ah Fei's chance will come.
Ah Fei's marksmanship and martial arts were superior to Zhang Ren's. Now that he had seized the opportunity, how could he let him go so easily? He just launched a desperate attack on him with the force of a dragon and a tiger, leaving Zhang Ren no time to launch a counterattack.
Facing the violent attack, Zhang Ren felt miserable. Logically speaking, although he was not as good as Ah Fei, he definitely would not have been defeated so miserably. He was just too complacent beforehand and did not expect Ah Fei to be so powerful.
Nowadays, Ah Fei is attacking with all kinds of attacks, and he is overwhelmed. If he doesn't find a way to escape quickly, he is afraid that he will die without a burial place.
In a panic, Zhang Ren shouted out a word that A Fei didn't expect.
"This, is this the Phoenix Spear?"
Ah Fei's heart was filled with excitement when he heard this, but the tricks in his hands did not weaken at all.
"How did you know my marksmanship?"
Zhang Ren gritted his teeth and yelled: "Nonsense! How can I admit my mistake in my master's spear move?"
"Clang!" Ah Fei pressed his iron gun heavily on Zhang Ren's gun barrel. He gradually used his arms to press the gun barrel firmly against Zhang Ren's chest, making him unable to move.
"What did you just say? Who did you say was your master?" A Fei frowned and asked.
Zhang Ren held on tightly, as if his whole body was falling apart. He struggled upwards with all his strength and shouted: "Nonsense! Except for the child gun god, who else in this world can pull off the trick of a hundred birds facing the phoenix?"
Ah Fei frowned and said, "Although you can name the names of hundreds of birds and phoenixes, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are really the disciple of the Boy Gun God."
Zhang Ren said hurriedly: "The spear moves you used just now are Phoenix Lai Yi, Luan Ming and Phoenix Play, Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow, Dragon Eyes and Phoenix Eyes..."
Ah Fei was stunned when he heard Zhang Ren mentioning his gun moves as if he was announcing the name of a dish.
"You, are you really the apprentice of the Boy Gun God?"
Zhang Ren was panting like an ox, with beads of sweat dripping down his neck, and said, "Of course, the master's birthday is on the eighth day of May, and his favorite wine is Changshan's Qingzhu Gong!"
After hearing this, A Fei no longer had any doubts, and confirmed that Zhang Ren was the apprentice of Tong Qian Shen.
Ah Fei drew his iron spear and stopped attacking Zhang Ren.
He said to Zhang Ren: "Let's go."
The pressure on Zhang Ren's hand suddenly eased. He first looked up at Ah Fei doubtfully, and then involuntarily reached out and touched his neck to confirm that his head was indeed still there.
He took a deep breath and said, "Why do you want to let me go?"
A Fei was silent for a moment and said: "The boy gun god has a strange habit in his life. He only accepts one disciple every season and never teaches two disciples at the same time. Therefore, although he has had several successors, he does not know each other.
...But since we are destined to meet each other, then we all come from the same lineage and kill each other. How are they any different from killers?"
Zhang Ren opened his eyes wide when he heard this and said in surprise: "Could it be that you are also the apprentice of the Tongqiang Shen? Then you are my junior brother?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Go away or not, or I will kill you!"
Zhang Ren shrank his neck in shock, not daring to stay for long, and hurriedly galloped towards the inner village.
…
One night is like beans.
The Jinling Army's sneak attack on Zhang Ren's military camp was successful for a while, but in the end it was because the number of people in the sneak attack was not large and it could not be fully successful. After the Yizhou Army gradually reacted, it also launched an effective counterattack.
The Jinling Army had been on the battlefield for a long time and was far superior to the Yizhou Army in terms of experience. Seeing that they had taken advantage of them, they immediately retreated without any delay, leaving the Yizhou Army who had been holding back their anger and wanted to counterattack in vain.
After the pottery merchant returned to the military camp, he began to count the contributions of the various armies, tribes and generals.
Of course, what he is most concerned about is whether Zhang Ren, who he planned, will be killed this time.
Tao Shang still recognizes Zhang Ren's abilities. Judging from the establishment of the military camp and the counterattack speed of the organized troops, Tao Shang thinks that he is a strong enemy. What's more, this guy is also the legendary master who killed Feng Chu. Tao Shang
I feel that if I can take advantage of him and deal with him in one battle, things will be much easier to handle in the future.
When he asked about Zhang Ren's situation, all the generals present lowered their heads, and no one was embarrassed to answer.
The potter was confused when he saw the curtain of the tent was lowered and Ah Fei came in with a face of repentance, shirtless, carrying thorns on his back, his hands tied behind his back with a rope.
The pottery merchant was startled when he saw this.
"A Fei, which song are you singing?"
But he saw Ah Fei kneel down to the pottery merchant with a 'pop' sound.
"The last general betrayed the Prime Minister's trust and let Zhang Ren go, causing the efforts of General Gongming, General Yan, and General Dong to go to waste. Ah Fei has committed a great crime and deserves death. He came here to apologize to the Prime Minister! Prime Minister, please kill him.
Me!"
After saying that, Ah Fei's back softened, and he banged his head on the sand with a heavy sound, and his tone was also sobbing.
The pottery merchant was stunned by A Fei's actions and was stunned for a long time without reacting.
After a while, the pottery merchant came back to his senses, pointed at Ah Fei, and asked: "Is this the legendary way of asking for forgiveness by bearing a thorn?"
Xu Huang smiled bitterly and said: "Go back to Prime Minister, just think about it."
The pottery merchant looked relieved and asked Xu Huang: "Is this what Lian Po and Lin Xiangru played in ancient times?"
Xu Huang didn't know how to answer.
What is play?
He could only nod.
The pottery merchant turned to look at Pei Qian and said, "Send the order to drag A Fei out and behead him."
Ah Fei was still sobbing and sobbing with his head on the ground. Hearing this, he trembled all over. He quickly raised his head and said in surprise: "What? Prime Minister, do you really want to kill me?"
The pottery merchant looked at Ah Fei doubtfully and said, "Didn't you ask for it yourself?"
A Fei was stunned when he heard this.
That’s not right! It shouldn’t be like this!
Logically speaking, shouldn't Tao Shang personally untie himself, comfort him with kind words, and tell him that victory or defeat is a matter of military affairs and that he should not pursue it any further?
Xu Huang glanced at the anxious Ah Fei and said: "Prime Minister, Ah Fei has already apologized for his sins. In the future, the Prime Minister should forgive him. After all, strong generals are rare. It would be a pity to kill him like this."
Tao Shang said: "But it is precisely because he carried the thorn to plead guilty that I cannot let him go. I am following the example of Lin Xiangru in ancient times."
Xu Huang raised his hand to wipe his sweat and said: "That's not right... Prime Minister! Lin Xiangru seems to have forgiven Lian Po..."
The pottery merchant frowned: "Really? Why do I remember that Lian Po seemed to have Lin Xiangru killed!...Which one of us remembered it wrong? Where did you read this story?"
Xu Huang said weakly: "The final general was read from "Historical Records"... written by Sima Qian."
Tao Shang nodded suddenly and said: "Then the "Historical Records" we watched may not be the same one. The version I watched should be the one rewritten by Sima Yi...the second season."
