Chapter 8 The sandpiper and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit

This time, the monarch of the country personally brought 30,000 soldiers and 200 chariots to take Zheng Guo in one fell swoop. Zheng Guo was newly defeated, unable to fight again, and wanted to make peace with Wei Guo, but Wei Guo did not allow it, so in desperation, he sent an envoy to ask Hua Guo to mediate.

The envoy of Zheng Guo asked Chen Xiang with a large number of treasures, and when he arrived at the palace, he fell to the ground and wept bitterly: "The king of the contemptible country begs the king to remember the old feelings, please help me to deal with the defense of the country, so that the people of the two countries will not be spared the disaster of war." After hearing this, Chen Xiang said coldly: "Ji Kang swore not to forget the love of the year, so he has always wanted to invite the eldest prince of your country to come to my country as a guest to repay the affection of the host and guest back then." The envoy was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed to apologize, Chen Xiang did not answer, and retreated from the court, and the envoy had no choice but to return in a huff.

The envoy was extremely depressed, and was about to pack up and return to Zheng Guo to resume his life, but he was suddenly bumped into by a small servant, and was about to have a seizure, but he heard the little guy say softly: "The king is waiting for your envoy in the Ten Mile Pavilion outside the city. Before the messenger could wake up, the little man had already run away.

The envoy hurried to the Shili Pavilion, only to see a personable prince drinking alone in the pavilion, and a majestic man standing beside him. When he looked closely, it was Ji Kang, the monarch of the Slippery Kingdom, and the messenger immediately came over and saluted: "The villain sees the king." Chen Xiang laughed, motioned for the envoy to sit down, and when the envoy sat down, Chen Xiang said: "Your envoy is frightened, this king did it deliberately in the early dynasty, and please don't be surprised." The messenger was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare." Chen Xiang continued: "Wei Guo wants to use fire and robbery to destroy Zheng Guo in one fell swoop this time, and I am also coerced by it to help Wei Guo attack your Zheng Guo." I ask your envoy to tell you that you must defend Xinzheng to the death, and when the soldiers defending the country are exhausted, I will raise troops to cut off their retreat, and you will take advantage of the situation to lead the troops out of the city, and then the guards will be in turmoil, and we can defeat them. The envoy was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, and hurried back to Zheng Guo.

After listening to the envoy's report, Zheng Guojun and his ministers were all overjoyed, swept away the decadent atmosphere of the past, and quickly organized troops to defend Xinzheng City with all their might.

The patriotic army was defeated in several fierce attacks, and the morale was greatly damaged, and the Zheng soldiers often took advantage of the geographical advantage to attack and harass the guards at night, and repeatedly succeeded. The most troublesome thing for the monarch of the country is that because of the rapid advance a few days ago, he thought that he could take advantage of the situation to take Xinzheng City in one fell swoop, but the army of Zheng suddenly rose up, and the siege was still immovable for more than a month, and the grain and grass of the guard army were a little unable to supply at this time.

The monarch of the country sent envoys to urge grain to the country of the country many times, but Chen Xiang promised every time, but every time he refused to carry it out for various reasons, the monarch of the country was so angry that he ordered the minister of the country to lead a force to prepare to grab food by force.

After listening to the soldiers' reports, Chen Xiang laughed loudly at the ministers: "The patriotic army is now at the end of its rope, and it is going to do such things as robbery. Chen Xiang suddenly stood up from his seat and said loudly: "This king orders to immediately withdraw the grain and grass on the border, evacuate the people, and clear the garrison. Ordered the generals to drive their headquarters to the border mountains to hide and wait, and when the guards rushed to grab food and withdrew, the whole army fought hard. All the ministers and generals gladly received the order, and each of them retreated to prepare.

The patriotic soldiers turned around the border of the slippery country under the leadership of the prime minister, but they did not even find a grain of rice, the soldiers were tired and hungry, and had no intention of looking for it again, so the prime minister had no choice but to prepare to lead the troops back to the camp, just when the patriotic soldiers dragged their tired bodies and prepared to go back to rest, they suddenly heard the war drums in the mountains on both sides of the country thundering, and the voices were boiling, and the sliding soldiers rushed over like a tide, and before the patriotic soldiers came to their senses, the long ges of the sliding soldiers had already pierced their chests. After a burst of slashing, the heads of the Minister of Defense and all the soldiers fell to the ground. When he heard the news that the prime minister had died in battle, the angry monarch of the country gushed out a mouthful of blood, and shouted bitterly: "Villain Ji Kang, I swear to peel you off and cramp." At this moment, the gate of Xinzheng City, which had been silent for many days, suddenly opened slowly, and a team of people and horses quickly rushed out of it, heading straight for the Wei army camp. The new defeat of the defense of the country and the lack of morale were at all, and at this time, the soldiers of Zheng Guo hated the same enemy and had already made up their minds to kill themselves, so although there were only more than 1,000 people, the guards who killed several times their own were clinging to their heads and were defeated. After the first battle, the monarch of the country fell from his horse and died, the soldiers of the country were killed more than 10,000, and the rest of the troops fled for their lives, but they were captured by the army of the country that came from behind.

Seeing that the reinforcements from the Slippery State had arrived, the Zheng army was highly motivated, the gate of Xinzheng City was opened, and the only few thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the city poured out of the city to continue to pursue and kill the patriotic soldiers. Seeing this, Chen Xiang immediately led an elite cavalry to rush into Xinzheng City, entered the palace of King Zheng, and then grabbed Zheng Guojun and cut off his head and hung it above the city gate.

At this point, Chen Xiang finally avenged the revenge under the fence back then, although the means are a bit despicable, but who cares in this cannibalistic world? All they care about is who is the winner and who is the winner. In this troubled era, courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame have long been put on the shelf, benevolence, righteousness and morality stop at words, and justice and justice are just the aftertalk of the victors. Chen Xiang has deeply understood this truth in his previous life, he will not let tragedy come back in his present life, everything is for victory.
