Chapter 773: Acting on imperial order to punish the rebels!

In the hunting tent with flames soaring to the sky, generals from all sides gathered.

Looking at Zhang Cheng appearing with blood-stained armor, Ma Qiu showed an expression of disbelief and said, "Zhang Cheng, how did you protect the Heavenly King!"

"My Red Liang Army did not know Shi Zhi was rebelling. Now that the thieves have been suppressed, how dare you, Ma Qiu, scold me?"

Looking at Ma Qiu before him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but roar.

Because among the generals of Later Zhao, Ma Qiu's status was quite high, comparable to Ran Min.

However, facing Ma Qiu before him, Zhang Cheng did not have any fear, because he knew that once Ma Qiu was not on the same boat as him, he would definitely die!

"What are you all arguing about? Now that the Heavenly King is gone, it is time to stabilize the palace!"

Just as Zhang Cheng and Ma Qiu were at daggers drawn, Pu Hong shouted loudly.

And looking at Pu Hong, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes gloomily, because this guy was the grandfather of Fu Jian of Former Qin.

However, it was clear that the current Pu Hong had not yet changed his surname to Fu!

"We should enter the city, follow the Heavenly King's order, and establish Crown Prince Shi Xuan as King!"

Just as Zhang Cheng and the others were arguing, Yao Gezhong appeared.

As the highest-ranking person among the surviving Later Zhao generals, his words undoubtedly calmed everyone down.

And looking at Yao Gezhong, Zhang Cheng turned his gaze to someone not far beside him.

Seeming to have sensed Zhang Cheng's gaze, the sturdy man slowly retreated and drew the long sword at his waist.

"The Grand Commander is right, we are willing to obey!"

Looking at Yao Gezhong, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, "What if I am not willing!"

"Zhang Xinzhi, what courage do you have to say such words? We generals are discussing matters, how can you question it!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng angrily, Ma Qiu couldn't help but roar.

And looking at Zhang Cheng, who had always been silent in the past, suddenly changing like a leopard and containing killing intent, Pu Hong vaguely sensed something wrong.

Because tonight's events were too bizarre—first Shi Zhi's rebellion and the killing of Shi Hu, then Shi Min leading the Qihuo Army to suppress the rebellion, and Deputy General Battalion Commander Lu Yan killing Shi Zhi's deputy general; everything revealed strangeness.

"Grand Commander, what if I am not willing for the Shi family to be Emperor?"

Looking at Yao Gezhong before him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but question him.

"You, a General of the Tooth Gate, how can you say such words? Do you think our swords are not sharp?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng angrily, Ma Qiu roared.

He had been defeated in the battle against Former Yan two years ago and had just been restored to his post, so how could he not think of Shi Hu's kindness? Thus, he gave an angry shout at Zhang Cheng's "rebellious words."

"My sword is also not untried!"

Drawing the long sword at his waist, Zhang Cheng pointed at the crowd before him.

And the moment he took action, fighting immediately began outside the military tent.

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Yao Gezhong roared immediately, "Zhang Xinzhi, what are you doing? Rebelling?"

"What am I doing? Of course, doing what I should do! Slaughter all of you, then slaughter the Shi clan, and this chaotic world of the Central Plains should be pacified!"

Showing a ferocious smile, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but roar, "By General Shi Min's order, execute the rebels!"

"Shi Min?"

Suddenly hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the generals present were dumbfounded.

Drawing his sword, Ma Qiu roared immediately, "Quick, escort the Grand Commander away, the Red Liang Army has rebelled!"

Just as Ma Qiu's words hadn't finished, Zhang Cheng had already rushed up, his long sword dancing as he said, "Don't go!"

"Clang!"

Swords collided, sparks constantly filled the air.

Looking at Zhang Cheng ferociously, Ma Qiu roared, "You, a beggar Han, with the Heavenly King's protection, have your current status, yet you rebel. You deserve to die!"

"Do you think I was born a beggar Han? It was you who took everything from me!" Looking at Ma Qiu angrily, Zhang Cheng backhanded and punched him in the face.

"Boom!"

Wearing a helmet, Ma Qiu was dizzy from Zhang Cheng's immense power. Only then did he clearly feel the threat Murong Ke had suffered back then, because this guy was truly a monster in human skin!

But before Ma Qiu could counterattack, Zhang Cheng pierced his chest with one sword, twisting the blade.

"Pfft!"

Fresh blood splashed on his cheeks, Zhang Cheng coldly pushed Ma Qiu aside and said, "Kill them all, leave none!"

"Yes, General!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the Red Liang Army roared one after another.

And they were all Han children Zhang Cheng had gathered in the camp over the past year, so they had no resistance to killing the Hu.

Moreover, Zhang Cheng's use of troops had always been very generous!

Zhang Cheng: If you fail, it's called treason; if you succeed, it's following the dragon!

Red Liang Army: Loyalty!

Rushing out of the military tent, looking at the fighting everywhere outside, Yao Gezhong felt his scalp go numb.

Because he never expected that the gate-guarding soldiers who were not looked at in the past would possess such strong combat power.

"Clatter!"

Ma Qiu's corpse was kicked out. When Yao Gezhong saw Zhang Cheng, he couldn't help but roar, "If you rebel today, there will be no place for you in the world tomorrow!"

"But you won't live to see that day!"

Looking at Yao Gezhong, Zhang Cheng rushed up holding his sword, his whole body as fast as lightning.

"My life is over!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in astonishment, Yao Gezhong felt the world spinning.

!

"Boom!"

A heavy object hit the ground. Yao Gezhong saw the headless body slowly collapse, and the person walking forward was Zhang Cheng!

Raising Yao Gezhong's head, Zhang Cheng roared, "Yao Gezhong has been executed. Whoever dares to call for troops, I will definitely kill them!"

Just as Zhang Cheng's roar echoed through the entire camp, many soldiers who were fighting stopped one after another.

"Put down your weapons, follow me into the city to support the new Emperor, and you will all have the merit of following the dragon!"

Shouting loudly, Zhang Cheng roared.

And hearing Zhang Cheng's words, many soldiers were bewildered.

Because the leaders above were almost all killed by Zhang Cheng; they didn't know who to believe now!

But looking at Zhang Cheng, a Hu general roared immediately, "Zhang Xinzhi, you lower-class person, how dare you lead us!"

However, before his words were finished, Zhang Cheng drew the long spear beside him and threw it at him.

"Pfft!"

His body was pierced through, and the other party was nailed to the ground immediately.

Looking at this scene in shock, many people were dumbfounded, because what kind of bravery was this!

"General, Pu Hong has escaped!"

Walking quickly to Zhang Cheng's side, Deng Qiang, as the deputy general, spoke up.

And hearing Deng Qiang's words, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, "He must have escaped to find Shi Zun. We will enter the city immediately, kill the Shi clan first, and pacify Xiangguo City!"

"Yes, General!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Deng Qiang bowed and returned the salute immediately.

Deng Qiang, who is he? The number one fierce general of Former Qin, possessing the talents of Lian Po and Li Mu, called a match for ten thousand.

And this person was also met by Zhang Cheng during his travels.

Initially, Deng Qiang thought Zhang Cheng's six hundred raid on the camp was just bragging, but as soon as he came up to challenge him, he was almost beaten into autism.

Since then, Deng Qiang followed by his side.

Learning of Zhang Cheng's determination to pacify the chaotic world, Deng Qiang disregarded his father's opposition and followed him without hesitation.

After all, as a man, who doesn't hope to leave a name in history and start a new family tree?

As a fierce man, Deng Qiang was even more so!

Disrupting the soldiers of various departments, Zhang Cheng dispatched the Red Liang Army commanders and then headed toward Xiangguo, his eyes flickering as he said, "Ran Min, don't let me down! I've done everything I should have done for you!"
