Chen Xiao is not an ordinary person. He comes from a prominent family and has famous teachers and disciples.
Chen Xiao's ancestor was from the Chen family, and his ancestor Yu Lan's father was Tao Zheng of the Zhou Dynasty. After King Wu conquered Shang, he granted Duke Hu the title of Chen before he even got off the bus. Since the founding of Chen State, it has been unable to avoid wars in the Central Plains.
, turmoil. In the end, the Chu State completely destroyed the Chen State and turned this place into its own territory. The Chen family naturally fled everywhere, and there are now descendants of the Chen family and Tian family all over the country.
The Tian family name comes from the fact that Mr. Chen became a high official in the State of Qi, and his descendants took Tian as their surname, which is now the clan of the State of Qi.
After the fall of the Chen Kingdom, disciples of the Chen family fled everywhere. At this time, the ancestors of Chen Xiao became the direct disciples of a Confucian master. The Confucian master was called Gong Yanggao. He was originally from Qi. Later,
He came to Nanyang to worship Zixia as his teacher. Therefore, Chen Xiao's family passed down the Spring and Autumn Period. At this time, Gongyang Gao's theory was still passed down orally, so these direct disciples were very precious. When Chen Xiao grew up, he also wanted to find a teacher.
Better study the Spring and Autumn Period.
So, he came to Qi, visited Xunzi, and became Xunzi's disciple.
He was serious about his work and had great wisdom, but he had no desire to pursue fame. Mao Jiao valued him very much. Not only Mao Jiao, but also Zhao Kuo also liked him very much, probably because of his relationship with Aiwujiwu and his good impression of Xunzi.
He also had a good impression of Chen Xiao. After Chen Xiao returned to Nanjun, he told Zhao Kuo everything he saw in Chenjun. Chen Xiao was from Chenjun and knew the situation in Chenjun quite well.
Chen Xiao said seriously: "I told you several times that you can't come to Chen County. Fan Yuqi was very anxious and angry. He really wanted to let you go to Chen County, but he was not that concerned about governing Chen County. I saw that Chen
The situation in the county is not as good as that of Nanyang and Nanjun, and you have no friendship with him. His attitude is very problematic, and I found that there are many officials sitting around him that I don’t know..."
Chen Xiao combined his knowledge of Chen Jun and told Zhao Kuo all the strange places he discovered. When Zhao Kuo heard this, he couldn't help but admire: "You can tell by seeing the subtle things, and you are talking about people like Chen Xiao!"
Chen Xiao was certainly happy to hear Zhao Kuo's praise. Zhao Kuo's current comments have a huge impact. Everyone knows this... Chen Xiao said again: "There is another very suspicious thing...
"
"There are no thieves on the road..."
Chen Xiao said seriously: "I dare not hide it. Because Chen County is close to the Chu State, Chu people have fled to Chen as thieves all year round..." "It can be said that Chen County is in short supply of thieves, so it is common.
Passers-by don’t dare to travel alone for fear of encountering a group of thieves... But in a place like this, I didn’t encounter a single thief while walking... I also saw some pedestrians walking alone, which is very uncomfortable.
normal."
"What does this have to do with rebellion?"
"It's normal to regulate the public order because Marquis Wu Cheng came here." Mao Jiao asked, and Chen Xiao said with a smile: "I don't believe he can do what neither you nor General Xin Wu can do."
Do it. If he had such ability, Chen Jun wouldn't be so miserable...counting down every year...there must be a conspiracy behind the strange things..."
Zhao Kuo squinted his eyes, looked at Mao Jiao aside, and said with a smile: "Very good, please tell the outside world that my condition has worsened and I will need to rest for a while before I can go on the road. Also, write a letter to Chen Jun to ask him
Ask the famous doctor to see if there is any solution... Write him a few letters in my name and ask about his situation. Leave the army of Nanjun to me and I will put these things to rest."
"Please be careful, Fan Yuqi must have Chu people's support behind him..." Chen Xiao hurriedly warned, and then he realized that he had said too much. How could Wu Chenghou not understand this? As for simple things, as expected, Zhao Kuo smiled and said: "Okay, thank you for the reminder, I need you to rush to Nanyang and find Xin Wu..." Zhao Kuo gave a few more instructions, and then Get them both out of here.
Zhao Kuo took out a map of the Chu region and read it carefully.
Fan Yuqi was very anxious, but it was useless for him to be anxious. At this perfect time, Zhao Kuo actually fell ill. This was something he had never thought about. However, Zhao Kuo was getting older and one time he came It was not a strange thing to fall ill in the south. He could only hope that Zhao Kuo would get well soon, preferably before Qin ended the war outside the Great Wall. Otherwise, he would have no choice but to attack Nanjun to capture Zhao Kuo.
Letters from the prefect of Nanjun and letters from Zhao Kuo were also sent over. In the letters, Mao Jiao expressed his worries and fears about Zhao Kuo. He hoped that he could send the famous doctor out to treat Zhao Kuo, but Zhao Kuo Kuo's letter asked him to manage the place with peace of mind and not to worry about himself, and also asked about Chen Jun's situation. Of course, Fan Yuqi hurriedly replied to the letter to appease the other party's mood. He already felt that he had a chance to win.
In this way, he began to exchange letters with Zhao Kuo and Mao Jiao. Soon, he heard the news that Zhao Kuo left Nanjun and went to Chenjun. The spy he sent also responded and saw that Zhao Kuo had already got on the carriage. Fan Yuqi was very happy to prepare to come to Chen County. He hurriedly sent someone to tell the Chu people that Zhao Kuo was coming to him, and he should be ready at any time. He would contact them after catching Zhao Kuo.
The guests left the mansion with the letters, and Fan Yuqi smiled confidently. It seemed that he was going to end Zhao Kuo's undefeated myth. When people talk about him in later generations, they must have defeated Zhao Kuo and captured him. Famous general, thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing. Zhao Kuo didn't know the situation in Chen County at all, and he didn't bring many followers, and he already controlled most of the army. He wanted to capture Zhao Kuo , so easy.
Fan Yuqi stayed in Xianyang for a long time, and he also knew the attitude of the people of Qin towards Zhao Kuo. As long as Zhao Kuo was in hand and guaranteed that he would not commit suicide, Qin would not dare to attack Chu easily. .The Chu State was also able to seize the opportunity to regain a lot of land, and of course he got his wish and became the Ling Yin of the Chu State, becoming the largest lord of the Chu State. A lord of the Chu State had real power, similar to that of the Qin State. These titular princes are completely different.
While Fan Yuqi was lying in his mansion having a sweet dream, the school grounds outside Chen County were already surrounded.
Zhao Kuo squinted his eyes and looked at the school grounds where several bonfires were lit in the distance. He ordered in a low voice: "No arson is allowed. Surround all the roads. Don't let a single soldier escape. Once the school grounds are taken care of, take control immediately." Chen County, you are only allowed in, not out!" Zhao Kuo ordered, and the lieutenant lying next to him nodded, his face full of excitement. The opportunity to fight with Zhao Kuo does not come every time.
After Zhao Kuo learned about Chen Jun's situation, he also believed that Fan Yuqi was going to rebel. On the one hand, he used letters to snub the enemy and left a man pretending to be himself. However, Zhao Kuo took Nan Jun's soldiers to cover up the enemy. Hiding his traces, he marched quickly to Chen County. Along the way, Zhao Kuo did not stop to let his soldiers rest. It only took Zhao Kuo ten days to lead the army from Nan County to Chen County!
It took ten days because Zhao Kuo had to pay attention to the Chen County officials patrolling on the road and not to alert pedestrians or expose his position. Zhao Kuo arrived at Chen County so quickly, and Fan Yuqi had just gathered his troops and brought them to Chen County. They arranged it at the school ground outside Chen County. Zhao Kuo's goal was to use the school ground here. As long as he subdued the opponent's army first, Fan Yuqi would not have any ability to cause chaos.
No one expected that Zhao Kuo would come so quickly, especially the troops stationed outside Zheng County. They did not even make any preparations. When the Nanjun soldiers slowly surrounded the enemy under the protection of the night, they began to charge and kill. At that time, the entire school grounds in Zheng County were in chaos. No one knew what was going on. They could only hear the enemy shouting: "Marquis Wu Cheng is here! Those who surrender will not be killed!!"
Why is Wu Chenghou here? Why did he attack us? Has the matter been exposed?
Different soldiers had different ideas. However, they were completely unable to fight back after being attacked by such a sudden attack. The officers were unable to command. Everything was in chaos, and they were surrounded. Amidst the sound of killing, more and more people were killed. Many soldiers gave up resistance and dropped their weapons. In this surprise battle, Zhao Kuo first blocked the exit, and then arranged cavalry around to guard against rout, not giving the enemy a chance to escape.
Attacks at night are often the most deadly because there is no time to put on armor or pick up weapons, and they are even unable to command or be commanded in the chaos. As for the Nanjun soldiers, Zhao Kuo had already arranged different attack routes for them. , so under the leadership of the officers, he started to attack in an orderly manner. It only took an hour for Zhao Kuo to defeat all the enemies stationed in the Zheng County school grounds.
Most of the soldiers chose to surrender. Zhao Kuo found several generals, separated them, and did not allow them to meet. Then he solemnly told them that the rebellion had been exposed, and whoever could tell what he didn't know could keep his family. , finally broke down and revealed all of Fan Yuqi's plans. Zhao Kuo wrote down these words carefully. Then, he asked his lieutenant to be optimistic about these troops, and he went directly to Zheng County.
Naturally, there was no way to hide the commotion outside the school grounds.
However, Zheng County itself did not have many troops, and there were only a few hundred people on the city wall responsible for night watch. Zhao Kuo's troops had already taken control of the county when Zhao Kuo attacked the school grounds. Zhao Kuo brought thousands of people to Zheng County, and finally He rushed to Fan Yuqi's mansion first. Fan Yuqi, who was having a sweet dream in the mansion, suddenly woke up. He listened to the noise coming from the courtyard, sat blankly for a moment, and then angrily scolded: "Why are you making such a fuss? "
At that moment, the door was suddenly kicked open, and a tall general walked in holding a bloody sword.
Fan Yuqi raised his head and looked at the familiar face in front of him. His whole body trembled with fear. He wanted to shout, but could not speak. He seemed to have seen an evil ghost. He was so frightened that he opened his mouth wide. , taking a deep breath. The person in front of him is Zhao Kuo, the seriously ill Zhao Kuo, who just left Nanjun yesterday. How did he arrive? Why did it happen so quickly? What did he know?
Fan Yuqi had countless doubts in his heart, but before he could question him, Zhao Kuo grabbed his neck and pulled him off the bed. "Do you know how many people died because of you?" Zhao Kuo asked coldly, Fan Yuqi's face turned pale, but he didn't say a word. Zhao Kuo threw him out of the gate. Several soldiers came forward to catch him. Zhao Kuo ordered: "He must have some accomplices in the city, let him The retainer exposed him, and also searched his study..."
That night, soldiers from Nanjun were running around in the county. Officials were arrested one after another, and corpses appeared on the streets one after another. The next day, when the people went out, they saw this horrifying scene. The corpses everywhere were frightening. The people screamed and hurriedly fled home. After a night of hard fighting, Zhao Kuo finally captured Fan Yuqi, including his accomplices, who were sent by the Chu people. spies and the like.
The army including Chen County was also completely subdued by Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo sat indoors tiredly. After these days of running around, plus a night of fighting and interrogation, Zhao Kuo was a little overwhelmed. However, the harvest was still huge. Zhao Kuo frowned and looked at the map on the table. Sure enough, the Chu people He was coming, but no one knew where the Chu people were hiding. He didn't get any news about the Chu army from those retainers. The only one who knew, Fan Yuqi, probably knew that he would die and refused to speak again. , without eating or drinking.
At this time, Zhao Kuo could only rely on his own instinct to guess the enemy's location.
If he were a general of the Chu State, where would he station himself? It must be close to Chen County, it must be able to hide the army, and it must have a retreat... Zhao Kuo's eyes gradually focused on the position of Ju Yang, and he felt something in his heart. Guess. In the following days, Zhao Kuo sent people to inquire about the situation in Chen County, and strictly prohibited the news here from spreading. At this time, Xin Wu hurriedly came to Chen County with the soldiers from Nanyang County. .
Xin Wu learned about Chen Jun's affairs from Chen Xiao, so he did not hesitate and sent troops in a hurry. This was a good opportunity for promotion!

However, when he arrived in Chen, the war was already over. Zhao Kuo's magic soldiers descended from the sky and wiped out the rebels in Chen County overnight. Xin Wu was also the general who led the war. When he knew this When it happened, he was speechless for a long time. Wu Chenghou was too quick! He became more and more respectful to Zhao Kuo. He paid a visit to Zhao Kuo and severely reprimanded the Chen County officials for their behavior. Just now he expressed his willingness to obey Zhao Kuo's orders.
"I have sent people to investigate. The Chu State's army is hidden in Ju Yang Yi... Now is a good opportunity to defeat the Chu State."
"Um???"
"General... Chenjun's soldiers should not be used lightly. The total number of soldiers from the two counties is only 40,000. How can we defeat Chu?"
"The outcome of a war has never been determined by the number of soldiers."
ps: Aha, the enraged Xiao Kuozi is about to teach the young King Chu a lesson.
