In the wilderness, an army of more than ten thousand people was marching.
The densely packed figures seemed to be endless, with no end in sight.
Looking from the sky, the army was not advancing very quickly, and their formation seemed a little lazy. The weapons in the soldiers 'hands could not compare to the quality of the imperial court's weapons.
Clearly, this was not an elite force.
However, it was also filled with killing intent.
As the army advanced, the world was suddenly enveloped by a murderous aura. Wherever it passed, the earth trembled, and even the wind seemed to stop.
"King An Ding, Zhuo County is up ahead, right?”
At the front of the army, two horses were riding side by side. A tall and burly middle-aged man rubbed his sore thigh and looked ahead."Any news from the scouts ahead?”
"Your Majesty, a scout reported an hour ago!”
Although he addressed her as His Majesty, there wasn't much respect on King Anding's face. Instead, he said in an equal manner,""They said that Chen Xiao has already arrived at Lunu County and will enter Youzhou tomorrow!”
Needless to say, these two people were Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun.
The former was the former Governor of Mount Tai.
The latter is the prime minister of Zhongshan.
They were all officials of the Great Han Dynasty.
After the rebellion, the two of them joined forces with Qiu Liju of the Wuhuan, and their reputation soared. They gathered 100,000 people under them, and their ambitions also expanded randomly.
Zhang Ju self-proclaimed emperor, Zhang Chun self-proclaimed Mitian General, Anding King.
From the perspective of history, the two people were just two clowns in the Three Kingdoms Era; however, at this moment, at least in Youzhou Province, they were real heroes.
Even the White Horse General Gongsun Zan, who had awed the prairie, was trapped in Guan Zhong City.
It was only a matter of time before the city was breached.
This also caused the two of them to become even more arrogant.
"Lunu County, isn't that your former territory…"
When Zhang Ju heard this, a smile appeared on his rough face.""After we kill the new Youzhou Prefecture Overseer, we'll take advantage of the situation to conquer Lunu County City and let you return to your old place.”
"Haha, Your Majesty's words are exactly what I want!”
Zhang Chun also smiled." As long as I kill Chen Xiao, Youzhou will be in my hands. At that time, I will occupy the Zhongshan Kingdom and use it as an outpost to attack Jizhou in the future. It is also suitable!"”
"I don't know what the imperial court is thinking. When I heard that Liu Yu was going to be sent to Youzhou, I was a little scared. I was thinking about how to deal with Liu Yu, but the imperial court changed its own person.”
Zhang Ju's eyes were filled with high spirits."The emperor is so muddle-headed that it's a great opportunity for us heroes to sweep through the Nine Provinces and rebuild the world!”
Zhang Chun agreed.
"I heard that the son-in-law of the Zhen family spent hundreds of millions of money to buy this Youzhou Prefecture Overseer.”
A hint of greed appeared in his eyes." The Zhen family is so rich, but when I was the Minister of Zhongshan, they never showed me any respect. Now that we've conquered Zhongshan, we can go to Wuji County and take all the Zhen family's assets for ourselves…"
After a pause, he added,"And the women from House Zhen. I heard that all five daughters from Lady Zhen down are extremely beautiful.”
"Is this true?"”
"Of course it's true, especially the fifth daughter, Zhen Mi. Although she's only six or seven years old, she's already a beauty that can topple a country. Once, a fortune-teller saw her and said,'This woman will be extremely noble in the future!'”
"Such a noble daughter should be able to enter His Majesty's harem and become a legend!" Zhang Chun smiled.”
Zhang Ju clicked his tongue in wonder.
He knew very well that the Zhen family was once an aristocratic family of officials and was rich in Jizhou. It was impossible for the women in the family to show their faces in public, let alone Zhen Mi, who was only six or seven years old.
Therefore, it was unlikely for outsiders to know the appearance of the Zhen family's women.
At most, outsiders would come up with the idea based on Lady Zhen's appearance after she took over the Zhen family's business.
Such rumors could not be taken seriously.
Even so, he was still swayed by Zhang Chun's words and could not help but laugh out loud.
"The one who knows me is the King of Peace!"
Amid his laughter, he was a little puzzled."Since the five daughters of the Zhen family are all beauties, why was the opportunity to recruit a son-in-law snatched by a nameless person?”
" To tell you the truth, when the Zhen family was looking for a live-in son-in-law two years ago, there were indeed countless young talents who flocked to the Zhen family, but they didn't even enter the Zhen family's gates. In the end, it was Chen Xiao who benefited…"
Zhang Chun recalled the past and could not help but sigh heavily."All of this is because Chen Xiao is extremely tall and handsome. No one in the world can surpass him!”
"Oh?"
"Is there really such a man in the world?" Zhang Ju was very curious. How is it compared to me?"
Zhang Chun looked at him speechlessly.
He didn't know if this Emperor had been praised so much by his henchmen that he even felt that he was dignified.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Chun said,"I don't dare to lie to Your Majesty. Your Majesty's appearance was indeed rare at that time, but compared to that Chen Xiao, it was still a little inferior!”
"Really?"
Zhang Ju did not believe it and stared at Zhang Chun with a burning gaze.
Zhang Chun looked at Zhang Ju's rough face and could not lie against his will. He could only nod."Really!"
Zhang Ju's self-esteem as a man was instantly stimulated.
"In that case, this person deserves to die!”
He snorted coldly, and his rough face was filled with killing intent."What's the use of having good luck and good looks? This kid is stupid enough to bring 100,000 people to Youzhou. It's destined that he will die in my hands!”
Zhang Chun agreed.
"It's a pity that Qiu Liju's Wuhuan elites wanted to besiege Gongsun Zan. Otherwise, we would've won easily!”
Speaking of Qiu Liju, Zhang Ju's expression became even more vicious.
"Humph! Besieging Gongsun Zan was just an excuse!”
He snorted coldly. It was obvious that his relationship with the Wuhuan people was not reliable." They are not of our kind after all, so they must have a different heart. Those Wuhuan people are more active than anyone else when they send their troops to plunder. But when it comes to the critical moment, they are completely unreliable. They can only fight with ease!”
"He didn't want to come with me because he was afraid that killing the Youzhou Prefecture Overseer would completely anger the Imperial Court and attract an army for revenge.!”
"You two-faced villain!"
Zhang Chun had no intention of speaking up for Qiu Liju.
They and the Wuhuan people were just using each other to get what they needed.
But they were different from the Wuhuan people.
They had no way out.
The Imperial Court would definitely kill and exterminate these rebellious Han subjects. However, the Wuhuan people were used to their occasional surrender and rebellion. When they encountered such situations, they would usually reward them with gold, silver, and treasures to summon them to surrender.
Therefore, the Wuhuan rebellion was as common as eating and drinking.
Because of this, he was not resolute enough.
"That's why we must kill Youzhou Mu!”
He smiled slightly, and a vicious look flashed in his sinister eyes."Only in this way will the Wuhuan people completely break away from the imperial court and no longer dare to disobey orders!”
