Such people are a disaster if they stay in the world

The people below knocked hard on the city gate.

The sound of the horn on the city wall was like a devil's sound, playing repeatedly.

The soldiers under Xu Huai's command were all ready to move!

Before they came, they might have doubted the news that there was water and food in Zhenguan. Today they saw on the city wall that the soldiers guarding the city ate in basins and wasted water!

The good life they lived was comparable to that before the drought and famine.

No, it was better than before the famine.

Before the famine, ordinary soldiers ate grain cakes, bran and ground.

How could they eat white rice!

And they also brought meat and vegetables, and soup to drink!

The life of the soldiers in Zhenguan was comparable to that of the nobles in the capital, which made countless people below yearn for it.

They all wanted to enter the city, join the Zhan family army, have rice to eat every day, and have endless water to drink!

Xu Huai yelled angrily, "Call Zhan Chengyin out. This general is here with the emperor's edict to take over the town!"

This time, the few people near the city wall looked at Xu Huai expressionlessly.

There was no respect and awe that a soldier should have for a general in their eyes. They looked at Xu Huai calmly, even with disdain.

They all knew it!

Xu Huai was a traitor who colluded with the enemy and traitored the country. He actually colluded with the barbarian army to set a trap for the general.

The general took 6,000 elite soldiers to rescue him,

but was ambushed by the barbarians halfway.

This matter spread, saying that he did not collude with the barbarians, but no one believed it.

The Zhan family army defended the town for a year, and most of the people in the city starved to death. Only one in ten of the 200,000 Zhan family soldiers survived, and they did not treason.

In order to take over the town, Xu Huai actually betrayed Da Qi.

The look in their eyes was full of contempt.

As if they couldn't hear it, they continued to eat.

After eating, they also drank a few sips of wine!

What a wonderful life!

*

Zhan Chengyin, Mo Fan, Chen Kui, Chen Wu, and other soldiers drank freely.

In the past, when the enemy surrounded the city, they only dared to drink a small cup or a small sip.

To keep their heads clear and ready to defend against the enemy at any time.

Today, everyone drank freely.

Especially Mo Fan, he drank 52-degree Wuliangye, and his face turned red after a few cups.

He and Zhan Chengyin began to complain.

"Zhan Chengyin, this prince really envies you! You and I were born in the same year. Look... You killed all 150,000 Chu troops, 180,000 Qi troops, and 200,000 barbarians."

"You will definitely be recorded in history books. From ancient times to now, no one is as brave as you!"

"You will be famous for thousands of years and will be remembered forever!"

"This prince regrets it. Back then, there were the best martial arts masters and great Confucian masters in the capital, but I rode a horse in the streets all day, played with birds and walked dogs... I didn't do any serious work!"

"If you work harder and make more progress, I can achieve one-tenth of your achievements, not half of yours!"

After saying that, he took a big gulp of wine and patted Zhan Chengyin on the shoulder.

"Yesterday, what this prince said on the battlefield still counts. In the capital, this prince will protect you!"

Chen Kui was annoyed and pulled him away.

"Go away. Do you think the general really misses the capital?

Zhenguan is so good. There is enough water and food. Is the capital so comfortable?"

"The little emperor must have sent people to guard the Zhan family's mansion layer by layer. No one can go in and out freely."

"By the way, general, it's cold, so I'll give you a coat!"

Fearing that Zhan Chengyin would refuse, Chen Kui hurriedly said, "It's sewn by your sister-in-law. You will definitely be satisfied!"

Zhan Chengyin waved his hand and said to Chen Kui, "Thank my sister-in-law for me!"

She used to call him Madam Chen, but now that they have a closer relationship, she has started to call him sister-in-law.

Once the conversation started, Chen Wu asked Zhan Chengyin worriedly, "General, the enemy has fled, Zhenguan is no longer besieged, and the emperor will definitely send you back to the capital. How do you respond?"

Everyone knows that once a general returns to the capital, he will be disarmed and the power of the Zhan family army will be transferred to other people.

The emperor has long disliked the Zhan family army.

Now they have food, water, and sophisticated equipment...

The royal family of Daqi is absurd, and Prime Minister Su is squeezing the people's fat.

The people's situation is no different from that of Zhenguan.

Several forces have risen in Daqi, but they were suppressed by the 200,000 troops. As long as the people can survive, who would rise up in rebellion?

Everyone is desperate and has no choice but to make the last helpless choice.

Zhan Chengyin severely damaged the Chu-Qi coalition and defeated the Chu army. His reputation among the people of Daqi will far surpass that of the royal family.

The emperor can't tolerate him.

Removing the armor is only the first step. He is still not at ease to take away the general's military power.

He will definitely kill the general!

They have a life-and-death friendship. They have been hungry together in Zhenguan and fought together on the battlefield.

Besides, the general can communicate with the gods.

None of them can do it.

The general cannot return to the capital and cannot be killed by the little emperor.

When this is mentioned, everyone fell silent.

Because the clansmen of each general are all detained in the capital.

Even the youngest Chen Junlin, it is said that at the beginning of the great victory of Zhenguan, Chen Junlin's father was reused by the emperor.

Promoted to the commander of the capital's David, and became one of the emperor's closest military officers.

It seems to be a promotion, but it is actually house arrest.

If they don't obey, their relatives will be killed at any time!

Seeing the silence of the soldiers, his brows were furrowed.

Zhan Chengyin smiled and said, "Come, drink..."

"Mo Fan, write a letter for me later, saying that Chu and Qi dared to invade the territory of Daqi."

"My Daqi will never tolerate it. Even if they lose, they will either cede land and pay compensation, or wait for Daqi to invade."

"Wait until Xu Huai's troops are incorporated, the fields of Zhenguan are cultivated, and the soldiers will follow me to fight Chu and Qi..."

"For them to come to the city and besiege Zhenguan, let's vent our anger!"

All the generals and soldiers applauded when they heard the words.

Yes, Daqi has been too aggrieved in the past year.

It seems that every country dares to step on it.

It's okay that Chuqi besieged Zhenguan.

Yan State, Yong State...what are they? With low national strength, they dare to come empty-handed and beg for water from the general with a brutal attitude.

They saw Zhenguan being besieged and spoke rudely.

Now, who dares to bully Qi State.

Thinking of this, everyone felt happy and started drinking and eating meat.

Just when everyone was drinking, a soldier came to report.

"Report, General, General Xu Huai led 100,000 troops and stopped at the west gate."

"They are knocking on the door and asking the general to go out of the city to welcome the imperial edict!"

Chen Kui heard it and cursed.

"What kind of person is he? He colluded with the barbarians last night to frame the general, and he wants to take over the town today?"

"He's dreaming!"

"Do you really think we dare not report his collusion with the enemy to the court?"

"Tell him that my town will never let any traitors into the city!"

"If his subordinates want to enter the city, they are welcome at any time, but traitors who collaborate with the enemy... no!"

The soldier nodded and went back to report.

After the people left, Chen Kui was still cursing.

"No, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. The general's subordinates will go to the city wall now and take him away with a Qin crossbow. Such a person will be a disaster if he stays in the world!"

Chen Wu also supported his elder brother's decision.

"Xu Huai colluded with Qi State, and he also cooperated with the barbarian army to massacre the people just to trick the general over."

"This matter can't just be let go!"

After saying that, Chen Wu called his generals, took their weapons and equipment, and went out of the city to shoot Xu Huai.
