Chapter 790: Doesn't look like acting!

~9 min read 1,617 words

Jiangnan in July, ten thousand greens become forests.

The Jiangnan land with birds singing and flowers fragrant had not been affected by any war at all.

It was as if the suffering of the north had nothing to do with them.

The aristocratic families were still singing songs, dancing, and appreciating the beautiful scenery.

However, when Former Yan in Liaodong was destroyed and the Xianbei Murong clan was exterminated, their moods finally became tense, and in the following two months, news came of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje being pacified.

In the court, as the puppet emperor, Sima Dan was listening to the arguments below and could not help but have a headache.

Because court affairs were controlled by He Chong, Cai Mo, Prince of Kuaiji Sima Yu and others, so his words had no force at all.

However, in order to fight for power, Eastern Jin was still very smart, at least they wouldn't play assassination.

If Zhang Cheng were in Eastern Jin, then his immediate superior would have to sleep with at least one eye open.

"I think Ran Wei is not to be feared. Ran Min is dead, the court is in chaos, even if Zhang Cheng as a general is fighting north and south, what ability does he have to command Ran Wei?"

Looking at the crowd before him, He Chong could not help but explain.

"The situation in the north is chaotic, I think this is exactly a good opportunity to recover the north!"

Just when He Chong's words were finished, someone below immediately put forward a suggestion.

After all, since Eastern Jin moved south, everyone wanted to recover the lost northern territory, but what was the result? How many years had passed, everyone was still spinning in place!

"We can discuss the matter of recovering lost territory later, now we should consider whether we can use royal transformation to subdue Ran Wei."

Looking at everyone present, He Chong could not help but open his mouth.

"Can Ran Wei listen to my Eastern Jin's orders?"

Staring at He Chong as if looking at a fool, someone could not help but inquire.

Because Zhang Cheng was not a simple character; he joined the army at fourteen, and at sixteen he "suppressed the rebellion" with Ran Min.

Now that Ran Min was defeated in the war with Former Yan, who was the biggest force in the Ran Wei army? Without a doubt, it was Zhang Cheng. Regarding such a number one person in the military, you say he is young, everyone has no questions, but if you say he is a fool, then the Xianbei Murong clan he exterminated would have something to say!

"He is young and frivolous, how can he understand the court? As long as we grant him high official positions and generous salaries, why fear that this person won't submit!"

Speaking seriously, after He Chong finished these words, his party members also immediately began to speak.

Watching everyone in the entire court say this, Sima Dan could not help but twitch his mouth.

Because he was not a fool, but this group of people before him treated him as a fool.

And now not only did they treat him as a fool, they also wanted to treat the most ruthless person in Ran Wei as a fool to play with?

The other party pacified Former Yan, settled Goguryeo, and along the way also cleaned up Baekje and Silla. You go up and give the other party a reward, intending to treat the other party as a dog, isn't this nonsense?

However, Sima Dan didn't care about these, because he was thinking about what would happen to Ran Wei next.

After all, Ran Wei's predecessor was Later Zhao, although most of Later Zhao had been killed by Ran Min and Zhang Cheng, but now Former Qin, Duan Qi, Wang Wu and others were all unconvinced.

The land of the Central Plains was estimated to be chaotic for a while; he had to find a way to deal with these powerful ministers as soon as possible!

And just when Eastern Jin was immersed in Zhang Cheng receiving the imperial decree and then turning around to surrender, Wang Wu was sweating profusely at this moment.

Because he also didn't expect Zhang Cheng to be so capable of fighting! He went up with two punches and beat the Xianbei Murong clan into nothingness, and now he was leading forty thousand Chiliang Army north to clean him up.

You have to know, when he rebelled back then, it was because he was clear that Ran Min definitely couldn't handle Former Yan.

But who knew, he guessed the beginning, but didn't guess the ending!

Ran Min was indeed executed by Xianbei Xianbei Murong Ke of Former Yan, but the problem was, his little brother Zhang Cheng was even more awesome than his big brother; he went up and cleaned up the Xianbei Murong clan together, packed the whole clan, didn't leave a single one, and even the one who fled was chased to Goguryeo, and along the way he also smashed Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, all three families!

"What to do now? My life is over!"

Speaking in panic, Wang Wu could not help but feel a burst of tension at this moment.

Because if Zhang Cheng wanted to pacify the land of the two rivers, he had to finish him off first.

Don't look at Duan Qi jumping the most fiercely and roaring the loudest, but the other party had defected to Eastern Jin, and his territory was still in the Jiaodong land. Even if Zhang Cheng wanted to clean up Duan Qi, he had to beat him to death first!

He was now the biggest obstacle to Zhang Cheng's southward march!

But before Wang Wu could worry for long, half a month later, the Chiliang Army marched south and had already arrived in the Hebei land.

And he occupied Lukou, calling himself the King of Anguo; at this time, he happened to hit Zhang Cheng's muzzle!

After all, when Xianbei Xianbei Murong Ke defeated Ran Min back then, he sent Ran Min's son Ran Cao to the other party...

Now don't say he wanted to run, even if he wanted to surrender, it wouldn't work, because behind him was exactly Ran Wei's territory. Long dragon moving forward, great banner dancing in the air.

On the marching road, Zhang Cheng's eyes could not help but flash at this moment.

Because after he pacified Youzhou and recovered Liaodong, there were still quite a few troubles before his eyes.

First was this bastard Wang Wu, his ability aside, but that courage was truly like Changshan Zhao Zilong, actually daring to rebel publicly!

Zhang Ping was cleaned up by him, Shangdang pacified, but Wang Wu actually still thought that Former Yan could clean him up!

"General, news came from Lukou, Wang Wu was killed by Qin Xing!"

Flying to Zhang Cheng, Deng Qiang could not help but shout loudly.

"Hmm? Wang Wu was killed, then what about Qin Xing? Want to surrender?"

Inquiring of Deng Qiang, Zhang Cheng could not help but open his mouth.

"Uh, Qin Xing has no intention to surrender, but he was killed by Lü Hu, Lü Hu sent people to surrender..."

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Deng Qiang could not help but explain.

"Ah?"

Looking at Deng Qiang in doubt, Zhang Cheng was dumbfounded, because what were this group of people playing, Russian nesting dolls?

Wang Wu rebelled, Qin Xing also rebelled, but in the end, they were beheaded by Lü Hu, and is Lü Hu a good person?

But this guy Lü Hu was also a fickle guy, first defected to Eastern Jin, then defected to Former Yan, repeatedly making trouble, and finally died of injuries!

If he hadn't been injured, this guy could probably have come again twice to jump and rebel!

Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng could not help but narrow his eyes and say: "After entering the city, let Zhang Hao go talk to Lü Hu!"

!

"General Zhang Hao?"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Deng Qiang immediately thought of something, and hurriedly smiled: "Yes, General!"

Three days later, Lü Hu, standing on the city wall of Lukou, finally saw the Chiliang Army appear.

Watching the brave cavalry like a long dragon, and the sturdy soldiers, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch, because with this lineup, no wonder they could defeat Former Yan, they were simply tigers and wolves!

However, just when Lü Hu was thinking, a big man shouted: "Who is Lü Hu, come down and answer!"

"General, this subordinate is exactly Lü Hu, may I ask what is the matter..."

"What? You scolded me, Old Zhang, for being a reckless man? I'm going to start early, and my sword is also not blunt!"

Looking at Lü Hu in anger, Zhang Hao immediately slashed a saber onto Lü Hu's neck.

Looking at Zhang Hao with wide eyes, Lü Hu never expected that he would be beheaded just by going up to talk.

Looking at this scene in shock, the generals beside Lü Hu were all dumbfounded.

And just at this moment, Deng Qiang, who charged up, roared: "Zhang Hao, what are you doing?"

"Deng Qiang, this bastard scolded me, I want to slaughter him!"

Saying this, Zhang Hao dismounted and wanted to chop Lü Hu.

And seeing this scene, the remaining generals were all dumbfounded, because this wasn't bravery, this was a madman!

"He doesn't look like he's acting!"

Looking at Zhang Hao in doubt, Zhang Cheng revealed a look of contemplation, because this acting of his was truly vivid!
