Chapter 775: Shi Kun

A few days later, Shi Zun and Shi Kun, brothers far away in Ye City, learned that Shi Hu had been killed and Shi Zhi had rebelled; their heads were about to explode!

Because this was simply impossible. Didn't they, as brothers, know what kind of goods Shi Zhi was?

But upon learning that even Yao Gezhong and others had been killed, Shi Zun reacted immediately—the person leading all of this was Ran Min!

After all, the truth is that you set aside all impossibilities, and the only possibility you get is the truth!

And this time, who was the biggest winner of the rebellion? Without a doubt, it was Ran Min!

Looking at Ran Min, who had changed back to the Ran surname and openly become the Regent, Shi Zun and Shi Kun were immediately enraged, because this was no longer slapping them in the face, but jumping up and slapping them with a big slap!

"Shi Min is just a slave's child, how can he seize the power of my Great Zhao!"

Roaring angrily, Shi Zun and Shi Kun decided to send troops to punish him.

And just as the two were organizing their troops in a grand manner, Ran Min also made a decision immediately—that was to dispatch Zhang Cheng and Li Nong, who had just been conferred the title of General of Pacifying the West, to lead troops to punish them.

After receiving the order, Zhang Cheng began to organize his troops without a word.

Because he intended to take this opportunity to defeat the Shi brothers in one fell swoop, and then stabilize the Central Plains, not giving the Murong clan any chance.

However, just as Zhang Cheng and Li Nong had led their troops out, they learned the news of Former Yan Murong clan sending troops.

"Damn Xianbei Murong clan!"

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Cheng became serious.

Because he knew Murong Ke's use of troops too well; that guy's methods were unpredictable, and a reckless person like Ran Min would definitely suffer a big loss!

However, now was not the time to worry about Ran Min; he still had Shi Zun and Shi Kun waiting for him!

The army set out from Xiangguo and arrived directly at the Sha River.

And where is Ye City? That is today's Handan Linzhang.

How far is the straight-line distance between the two sides? Less than one hundred kilometers!

Why did Zhang Cheng turn a blind eye back then? Because attacking the city was not conducive to the Red Liang Army's fighting.

After all, ten thousand people attacking fifteen thousand people in Ye City, Zhang Cheng was either crazy or had no brain.

And now, with the addition of Li Nong, the troops in his hands have reached forty thousand.

Although the gap was still large, it also depended on who the enemy was!

If it were a guy like Murong Ke, Zhang Cheng would probably be slightly more cautious, letting everyone set up their horses and fight.

But if it were Shi Zun and Shi Kun, Zhang Cheng would disdain them!

After all, if these two had military talent, they wouldn't have been beaten by Ran Min to the point of begging the Murong clan for help.

Sha River, the two sides confronted each other.

Riding on a hill, Zhang Cheng observed the battle formation, and various images constantly appeared in his mind.

And just then, Li Nong asked, "How does the General see this battle?"

"With General Li here, I, a latecomer, dare not say more!"

Looking at Li Nong, Zhang Cheng knew that the other party's influence in Later Zhao was much higher than his own.

And hearing Zhang Cheng say this, Li Nong smiled and said, "General, stop joking. You are much closer to me and General Ran than I am!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Li Nong also knew his status—that was neither up nor down.

After all, Ran Min couldn't trust him; he could follow Zhang Cheng here, which was because he was afraid he would cause trouble.

And were there troops in Xiangguo? Of course there were, that was the two hundred thousand soldiers left by Crown Prince Shi Xuan and Shi Hu.

But did Ran Min dare to move these people? He didn't dare. Let alone him, even Zhang Cheng didn't dare to move them, because the military morale was not settled; you pull them out, who they fight is not certain!

And these thirty thousand people of Li Nong were brought back by him from Former Liang, possessing a certain degree of control.

Otherwise, Zhang Cheng wouldn't have dragged Li Nong around, because this kid was also a time bomb!

"Zhang Cheng, Li Nong, you all received the favor of my Shi family, yet now you follow a slave's child to rebel. What is your intention!"

Roaring angrily, Shi Kun, who rode out of the formation, shouted loudly.

And hearing Shi Kun's words, Zhang Cheng also rode out and said, "Shi Kun, Shi Zhi rebelled. The General and all of us support the Heavenly King Shi Shi to succeed to the throne. You actually sent troops, could it be that you are rebelling!"

"Zhang Cheng, I'm going to kill you! Shi Shi is not even three years old today, and you have the face to say such words!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng angrily, Shi Kun was almost laughed at by this sentence.

Because this was simply dancing on a grave, fooling a ghost!

Everyone was a smart person; even if their IQ was a bit low, they at least had brains, but you saying such words, isn't it nonsense?

"Shi Kun, what did you say? Come closer!"

Pretending not to hear, Zhang Cheng looked at Shi Kun with a face full of confusion.

And just then, Shi Kun roared immediately, "Zhang Cheng, I'm going to kill you! You shameless bastard, beggar Han..."

Just as Shi Kun was cursing angrily, the generals behind roared, "General, be careful!" "Ah, what did you say?"

Suddenly hearing this sentence, Shi Kun was confused immediately.

And just then, Shi Kun saw that Zhang Cheng had actually drawn a strong bow.

Aiming at Shi Kun, Zhang Cheng's eyes flickered with cold light as he said, "Go find Shi Hu, you bastard!"

"Clatter!"

An arrow came straight toward Shi Kun's chest. Zhang Cheng could be said to have pulled it to the full; as long as he was hit, Shi Kun could immediately go down to find his relatives like Shi Hu and Shi Zhi.

But unexpectedly, Shi Kun dodged in surprise, and the arrow pierced his shoulder.

"Ah! It hurts me!"

Unable to help but wail, Shi Kun then fled in panic.

But where would Zhang Cheng give him a chance? He chased after him and began to draw his bow.

And seeing this scene, the Shi clan generals who rushed up tried their best to rescue him.

Shooting another arrow, Zhang Cheng killed Shi Kun's warhorse, causing him to fall heavily to the ground, and then he drew his long sword and rushed up.

Running wildly on his horse, the Shi clan general also roared, "Beggar Han, don't be arrogant!"

"I'm going to kill you!"

Roaring angrily, Zhang Cheng swung his long sword at the Shi clan general before him.

"Pfft!"

!

Fresh blood splashed on his armor, and the other party fell to the ground immediately.

And seeing all this, Shi Kun was also scared into climbing up, trying his best to head toward the large formation.

Fighting seven or eight Shi clan generals alone, Zhang Cheng's long sword danced like the wind, instantly beheading them under his horse, and then he couldn't help but roar, "Get out here, Shi Kun!"

"Shoot arrows, shoot arrows!"

Scared into a loss by Zhang Cheng, Shi Kun was also full of panic.

Originally he thought Ran Min was scary enough, but who knew, the Zhang Cheng before him was even more terrifying.

Because Ran Min at least wouldn't use tricks, but Zhang Cheng was different; he didn't want his face!

"Clang, clang, clang!"

Knocking down the incoming rain of arrows, Zhang Cheng retreated, his eyes flickering with gloom.

And just then, Shi Kun waved his hand and said, "Beat the drums, advance!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

War drums thundered, and the Shi clan army moved out immediately.

And looking at this scene, Zhang Cheng returned to the front of the battle formation and looked at Li Nong not far away.

Sensing Zhang Cheng's sharp gaze, Li Nong roared immediately, "Defend!"

"Defend!"

"Clatter!"

Shield walls appeared, long spears were set up, and the crossbows in the rear also began to prepare.

Just as the two sides crossed, the true slaughter belonging to the ancient battlefield began.

Military formations clashed, and both sides exerted all their strength.

However, under Li Nong's command, the army presented a tenacious posture and was not shaken at all.

Looking at the battlefield, Deng Qiang came to Zhang Cheng's side and said, "General, why don't you let me take the Red Liang Army up to kill for a while?"

"No, it's not time yet!"

Stopping Deng Qiang, Zhang Cheng also knew that this was consuming the lives of soldiers on both sides, but he had no choice.

If he couldn't finish it in one battle, more people would die.

Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng's eyes flickered as he said, "Hurry up, Shi Zun, I'm waiting for you!"
