Chapter 769: Level the wheels!

September, Jizhou.

A large number of commoners were conscripted to transport grain and fodder for the attack on Eastern Jin.

The ratio reached a terrifying three out of five, which could be called a harsh government as fierce as a tiger.

However, due to his low status, Zhang Cheng did not have full confidence at this moment; he was still accumulating strength.

Yet in his heart, he already had the thought of devouring people.

After all, Shi Hu's tyranny was "notorious" throughout the ages; letting such a person become Emperor was simply telling the people of the North to die!

But for now, Zhang Cheng needed to contact someone before he could take action!

Fighting a war requires money and grain, as well as troops and horses, so he was currently unable to make any large-scale military moves.

"Battalion Commander, the Military Head has issued an order for you to lead troops to patrol the fortress. The Xianbei have been restless again lately!"

The Deputy Battalion Commander, who had walked into the tent, spoke to Zhang Cheng.

"I understand. I will lead my personal guards out shortly!"

Looking at the Deputy Battalion Commander, Zhang Cheng stood up immediately and asked, "Has General Ran's letter arrived?"

"No!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the Deputy Battalion Commander shook his head.

"Then I understand!"

Nodding indifferently, Zhang Cheng continued to walk outside.

Just then, the Krieg soldiers who had come up gathered together one after another.

Riding their horses out of the military camp, Zhang Cheng's heart was filled with worry, for the North was too chaotic. White bones exposed in the fields, not a rooster crowing for a thousand miles—this was no longer just a record in history books, but a real scene!

Why did the Great Virtuous Teacher raise an army to punish the Han back then? It was because of that one phrase: "The year is a great famine, people eat each other!"

Because only those who have seen such a purgatory with their own eyes would feel that this world is beyond saving.

And he had the same thought now, but Zhang Cheng would practice it step by step until he completely overturned all of this.

Huang Chao once set an example: breaking into Chang'an is always easier than passing the exams to enter Chang'an!

He thought the same: if he could not change this world, then he would slaughter all the jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards of this world!

When autumn comes on the ninth day of the ninth month, my flowers will bloom and all other flowers will die.

The soaring fragrance will permeate Chang'an, and the whole city will be covered in golden armor.

"Assemble!"

Drawing the long sword at his waist, Zhang Cheng roared.

"Clatter!"

Mounting their horses quickly, the Krieg soldiers displayed extraordinary uniformity.

Heading out of the city, Zhang Cheng gripped his reins tightly.

Just then, at a stall somewhere inside Jizhou City, a young man watching this scene could not help but glance over.

Because it wasn't that he hadn't seen orderly cavalry, but this was his first time seeing such a military formation.

"Shopkeeper, who is that general? So heroic!"

Looking curiously at the stall owner, the young man could not help but ask.

"You mean Battalion Commander Zhang? He is our benefactor in Jizhou. Six hundred men raiding the camp, do you know? That was him. He beat the brothers Murong Ke and Murong Chui so badly they ran on the spot!"

Explaining happily, the shopkeeper became excited, as if he had been there himself.

After hearing the shopkeeper's words, the young man asked in surprise, "He is that fierce general who killed and repelled Murong Ke? Why doesn't he look like it?"

"Hey, when he came to join the army, he was even thinner than you, kid! I heard he even picked up his clothes; he was just like a beggar!"

Speaking to the young man, the shopkeeper shared gossip he didn't know where he had heard.

Looking at the shopkeeper, the young man also felt curious about the young man who had just led the troops.

Northern fortresses could definitely be considered the wisdom of the people; after all, during the Five Barbarians period, if people in a village wanted to survive, they had to unite and cooperate.

The powerful clans of the North were the same, but they usually used fortresses to hide their population.

This was also why, after the Hu people entered the Central Plains, they usually lacked food and needed to plunder on a large scale.

After the Sima family wreaked havoc on the North, they patted their butts and ran to the South, but what about the commoners of the North? What could they do?

Living in such a hell, without a leader, they were like lambs, waiting to be slaughtered.

Patrolling all the way to where the smoke signals were, Zhang Cheng asked around and learned that a team of Xianbei cavalry had bypassed the city. "Damn Xianbei, coming to graze the valley again?"

Cursing the Xianbei for having no martial virtue, Zhang Cheng was furious at this moment.

Because clearly, Later Zhao could not spare extra strength to deal with Former Yan, but Former Yan kept jumping around like a grasshopper, which was quite annoying!

How was Former Yan finally trampled to death? It was because of that peerless fierce man, Wang Meng!

After the Later Zhao was destroyed, the Former Qin was established. Later, when Fu Sheng succeeded to the throne, he was imprisoned by the Prince of Donghai, Fu Jian, and executed in prison.

And what was Fu Sheng's life like? Fu Sheng was one-eyed from childhood and suffered much bullying. After growing up, he was brave and good at fighting, could lift a thousand jun, and was peerless in shooting and riding.

But such a person ended up being the loser? Could it be that Fu Sheng was truly incompetent? One must know, he was the rightful successor!

Does the victor represent justice? Of course, because the victor is justice!

As the hegemon who unified the North, although Fu Jian was defeated at the Fei River, no one could question his prior abilities!

And it was precisely during the period when Fu Jian unified the North that Former Yan was destroyed!

Mentioning Fu Jian, one must mention a fierce man: Wang Meng!

And the Golden Knife Scheme, one of the four great open plots, came from this man's hand!

Why is the Golden Knife Scheme called one of the four great open plots? It is because you clearly know what the other party wants to do, but you cannot refuse!

If you don't face off against Wang Meng, you will never know what calculation is.

And if you face off against Wang Meng, you will never think of walking out of the chessboard alive!

Zhang Cheng: I start with a divine move!

"Go back and pass the order. Tell the Military Head that the Xianbei have moved south. I intend to go north to stop the spread of their military force!"

Speaking to the messenger behind him, coldness flashed in Zhang Cheng's eyes.

!

Isn't it just grazing the valley? As if anyone else couldn't do it. He, Zhang Mou, had also practiced his hand in South Asia back then.

Although there was no such thing as "lower than the wheel" there, he could level the wheels!

Zhao Hui: Dzungar has everything except people!

Heading north all the way, Zhang Cheng led the Krieg to carry out large-scale slaughter.

After all, if the Xianbei could move south, there was no problem with him moving north, right?

However, just as Zhang Cheng began to slaughter the tribes, Murong Chui, who was leading the troops ahead, sensed something was wrong.

Because Murong Ke, who was far away in Longcheng, had sent a letter telling him to lead troops back to reinforce and intercept Zhang Cheng.

"That bastard, how did he get behind our army?"

Looking at the letter in his hand, Murong Chui almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, because this bastard, is what he is doing human?

They hadn't even performed the "leveling the wheels" thing in Later Zhao's territory, but Zhang Cheng was actually slaughtering in the Xianbei tribes.

On the grassland where smoke signals were everywhere,

In a Xianbei tribe, listening to the crying, coldness flashed in Zhang Cheng's eyes as he said, "Level them, level them all for me. As long as they are Xianbei, kill all the men!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's order, the Krieg began to execute it coldly.

A few days later, when Murong Ke, who had led troops out from Longcheng, arrived at the scene, he couldn't help but tremble with rage.

"Zhang Xinzhi, I swear to kill you!"

Letting out an angry roar, Murong Ke was already crazy at this moment.

Because he never expected that a Han person would dare to do such a thing in their Xianbei tribe; it was simply more serious than giving him two electric cannons in front of Murong Ke!

And just as the Xianbei were chasing Zhang Cheng all over the grasslands, he turned around and arrived at the Yuwen Xianbei.

Calling them Yuwen Xianbei, they were actually just Xiongnu people assimilated by the Xianbei.

But to Zhang Cheng, what difference did that make? None. So, he continued his work of leveling the wheels!

Yuwen Xianbei: You bastard!
