My vicious dog, my horse, I can do whatever I want with it

"General Zong Yan should go with us instead of staying with that incompetent crown prince!" Chen Hanjing was extremely emotional, and his words were full of dissatisfaction with the crown prince.

"You are really stubborn." Zong Yanli sighed deeply, stared at Chen Hanjing coldly and said, "If the crown prince is really incompetent, it is not his turn to comment. General Chen did not hesitate to commit suicide at the palace gate to protect the younger generation of the Chen family, but you are so ignorant!"

"You listened to the emperor's words and plotted rebellion!"

"Chen Hanjing, do you know what will happen to everyone in the Chen family after you rebel?"

Zong Yanli's expression was extremely complicated. Even if she really didn't want to be an enemy of the Chen family army, Chen Zhengxin was a man worthy of admiration for both her and her father. Without the promotion of General Chen, how could Zong Yanhongjing have come to prominence so quickly?

At the beginning of Pingnan Camp, it was General Chen who strongly recommended Zong Yanhongjing to take over Pingnan Camp.

It is reasonable and moral that Zong Yanshi should remember this kindness.

Can……

Zong Yanliduan looked at Chen Hanjing in front of him and watched him challenge passionately. He thought he was at the highest point and that the ruler he was assisting was a wise ruler!

"In that case, there is no need to say more." The expression in Zong Yanli's eyes gradually faded, and finally he returned to his usual cold and solemn attitude and said: "Since ancient times, there have been many winners and losers. Since you and I can't reach an agreement, then..."

"The only way is to fight to the death!"

Zong Yanli said nothing more and rode back. Chen Hanjing also declared war, and the two of them returned to their respective armies.

Prince Shou made such a big fuss, and it was obvious that the Chen family's following could not be shaken by a few words. When Gongsun Pu saw Zong Yanli coming back with a cold face, he knew that the two of them had parted on bad terms, and he was not surprised at all.

"The Chen family army is brave and good at fighting. They are definitely not ordinary troops. They also have many brave generals." Zong Yanli stared at the front of the battle and took a deep breath and said, "Which general is willing to lead the charge?"

"General!" Long Feiguang stepped forward and said, "Since our White Eagle Army has followed you, you must fight for me!"

"My second brother has made some achievements in martial arts. Why don't you let me fight in this first battle!" Long Feiguang knew that all the generals under Zong Yanli were powerful generals. He had to show his appreciation by joining them, so he took the initiative to ask for battle for his brother.

"Okay." Zong Yanli smiled and said, "Since General Long is willing to fight, then I will allow you to fight!"

Long Feiguang was overjoyed and turned around to call Panshi to fight.

Everyone turned their eyes to Panshi, and saw him riding out of the army formation with a long spear in hand, and facing the general of Chen's army.

Cao Lin watched for a while and then turned his head to Zong Yanli and said, "General, the man from the Chen army is called Shen Quanxiao. He became famous in the battle of Chihe after charging through three passes of Yan State."

Although he is a veteran, his influence is still there!

Zong Yanli looked at the man from the Chen family going into battle and could not help but frowning. The old general had a pair of piercing tiger eyes and stood in front of the army, holding a spear and facing the rock.

"Who is coming?" Shen Quanxiao shouted with a voice as powerful as bells and drums.

"White Eagle Army, Panshi." Panshi had a blank expression and was unmoved, without any emotion up or down.

"I've never heard of this name, where did this menial soldier come from? Haha!" Shen Quanxiao sneered when he heard this, shook his head with some disdain, and when he looked at him again, his expression had become full of contempt.

Panshi didn't want to say much. Zong Yanli had friendship with Chen's army, but he didn't!

How could he listen to the old general sneering at the White Eagle Army? He immediately rushed out with a halberd in his hand to kill the general. The halberd swept across the ground, raising dust and sand that made people's eyes dizzy.

Shen Quanxiao shouted angrily and rushed forward with his spear, and the clanging sounds of spears and halberds clashing were endless.

Panshi must be capable enough to be the second-in-command of the White Eagle Army. He does not have the commanding ability like Long Feiguang, nor the strategist like Gongsun Pu. The only thing he has is his martial arts and bravery. The arc of the long spear that formed in the air is so sharp.

There was almost no suspense, as Shin Jeon-hyo was overwhelmed.

His attack was as quick and decisive as he was. The moment the halberd knocked the spear out of Shen Quanxiao's hand, he raised his hand and pierced Shen Quanxiao's chest.

Before anyone could even see how he thrust forward, Panshi had already retracted his halberd. Without even bothering to look back, he turned his horse around and rode back.

Then he looked at Panshi, who was returning on horseback, with the halberd in his hand hanging on the ground, and blood stains dripping from the tip of the blade.

"Old general——!" In the Chen family army, Chen Hanjing's eyes suddenly turned red when he saw this scene. He watched Shen Quanxiao fall straight off the horse's back and cried out in grief.

"Zong Yanli! How could you be so cruel and ruthless!" Chen Hanjing roared with anger, but he killed the man in the first battle, intending to fight to the death with the Chen family!

"Okay, okay!" Chen Hanjing turned around and roared, "Which general is willing to avenge General Shen's blood feud?"

The battle of Panshi made everyone's eyes light up. Monkie and others under Zong Yanli could not be outdone, so they all asked for a fight!

Zong Yanli did not restrain them and after weighing the pros and cons, he appointed Lu Hao to go and fight.

Lu Hao has excellent skills and has been with Zong Yanli for many years, but he has never had a chance to show his abilities. It’s not because Zong Yanli is partial to him, but because there are too many powerful generals around Zong Yanli, so even if it’s a rotation, it takes a while before he can get a chance.

Now that he finally got the chance, Lu Hao was naturally happy. He took a deep breath and went to fight.

The weapon Lu Hao used was a double halberd. He had neither the power of Monkey nor the ability to use multiple martial arts like Bai Xiuyun. He had been advancing step by step since the recruit camp, focusing on his strengths.

This battle was not easy. The man facing Lu Hao was a brave and skilled general, who was far superior to Lu Hao in terms of seniority and experience.

At first, Lu Hao had a hard time dealing with the situation, but he did not show any sign of retreat. Instead, he was like a studious student, madly absorbing the opponent's combat experience and then turning it into his own use.

At the beginning, Gongsun Pu and others were not optimistic about Lu Hao. From the beginning of the battle, it seemed that Lu Hao would not gain any advantage at all.

But they never expected that Lu Hao had such a strong learning ability that he could still learn things under such a high-pressure battle?

Everyone was stunned as they watched Lu Hao fight to the rear and actually use the opponent's moves to counterattack. The general who was fighting against him was even more stunned. In a panic, he was injured in the wrist by the double halberds in his hands. The long sword in his hand fell to the ground. He screamed in pain and retreated in defeat.

Lu Hao wasn’t much better, as he also had injuries on his arms and shoulders, but he returned with his head held high.

"What a genius..." Even Gongsun Pu couldn't help but look at Lu Hao twice more.

Even though that move was learned by copying, but in a duel, if the opponent suddenly learns your move and uses it to hit you back, anyone would be caught off guard, right?

In other words, the person fighting against him was holding a long sword. If he was using the same double halberd as Lu Hao, he would not have allowed Lu Hao to retreat with injuries, but would have directly cut off both of his wrists!

Gongsun Pu was secretly shocked. Zong Yanli had already asked someone to take Lu Hao downstairs to bandage his wound.

For the third fight, General Zong Yanli ordered Long Feiguang's sixth brother Zhu Jin from the White Eagle Army to accept the challenge. A fifteen-year-old boy was at the age of war, and after receiving the order from the general, Zhu Jin rushed out happily. Among the White Eagle Army who had been fighting guerrilla warfare outside for many years, all of them were good fighters!

Zhu Jin also used a spear. Compared with Wen Nian's frequent killing moves with spears, the spear in Zhu Jin's hand seemed to carry a youthful vigor, aloof and sharp. In just a few moves, he knocked the man off the horse, and everyone who saw it seemed to feel their blood boiling.

"Haha! Big brother!" When Zhu Jin returned victoriously, his eyes were filled with the satisfaction and pride of a young boy, and he had a proud expression as if waiting for praise.

"Don't be complacent." Long Feiguang smiled but still scolded.

"Hehe..." Zhu Jin touched his nose, smiled, and lowered his head to respond.

Zong Yanli had already drawn his long sword, and with a command, he blew the attack horn, and the army rushed straight towards Chen's army.

After being defeated in three battles, Chen Hanjing went on to fight anyway. However, he was defeated in the fierce battle and retreated back to Xiaozhuang. The great victory in the first battle boosted the morale of Cao Lin and others, who had thought that they might be defeated due to the difference in the number of troops between the two armies.

Unexpectedly, each of Zong Yanli's soldiers was worth ten of their own, and the brave Chen family army was no match for them!

On the other hand, the situation in Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was not so peaceful. Chen Hanjing returned to Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang in a dishevel, and was greeted with the ridicule and sarcasm of many "allies", most of whom were heroes from all over the country who followed Prince Shou.

"The Chen family army has a long-standing reputation, but I didn't expect that it would be so vulnerable in the hands of General Chen?" The mighty man with his arms folded said sarcastically, "Back then, the Chen family army was invincible under the command of General Chen."

"Now... you can't even leave Xiaozhuang?"

"What great cause can such a leader achieve!"

Chen Hanjing was most infuriated by this comparison. He clenched his fists and said angrily, "General Ying is so arrogant. Why don't you go and fight Zong Yanli?"

Chen Hanjing sneered and said, "It's easy for them to talk after just a few words, but is Zong Yanli so easy to deal with?"

"Incompetent is incompetent, so what about Zong Yanli?"

"He's just a young general!" Ying Hongwei laughed twice, looking completely disdainful.

"You——!" Chen Hanjing was very angry. He Xingliang, the Shou Wang who was sitting on the high seat, frowned and raised his hand to stop the two from quarreling. He said in a deep voice: "We are all brothers. Don't say anything that will hurt the harmony."

"Zong Yanli is coming with great force. He has become famous since the battle of Nankang. He is definitely not an ordinary person." He Xingliang narrowed his eyes and said, "Although our army was defeated this time, we have also found out the enemy's strengths and weaknesses. What do you think about Zong Yanli's White Eagle Army?"

Chen Hanjing took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, turned to He Xingliang, bowed and said: "Yes, I see that the White Eagle Army does not look like the Wu Kingdom's troops."

He Xingliang nodded slowly and whispered, "Go check the origins of this White Eagle Army."

He Xingliang turned to look at Chen Hanjing and said soothingly: "General Chen, don't be discouraged. Victory and defeat are common in the military."

"Since I have appointed General Chen as the commander-in-chief, please treat him with respect." He Xingliang turned to look at the others in the room and said, "If there are those who do not obey the majority, how can I trust them?"

Chen Hanjing was deeply moved by He Xingliang's words. Although the other people in the room were dissatisfied in their hearts, they still pretended to be polite on the surface.

Ying Hongwei turned around, tilted his head towards Chen Hanjing, and said politely, "Ying spoke quickly. If there is anything wrong, I hope General Chen will forgive me."

Chen Hanjing snorted and said, "It's okay."

He Xingliang was very satisfied with the harmonious scene. He nodded and said, "In that case, let's see how to meet the enemy next."

Peace returned to Xiaozhuang. Zong Yanli also gathered with other generals to discuss the next move. Judging from today's battle, the Chen army would not fight easily again, so they had to find a way to attack the city.

"It's really difficult to enter the city." Zong Yanli rubbed his brows. It would be great if he had the siege crossbow of Qing Kingdom.

"Pu has a plan to lure the enemy into battle." Gongsun Pu was sitting upright, and when he saw this scene, he shook his sleeves, stood up and said.

"Oh?" Zong Yanli raised his eyebrows and looked over: "Sir, please go ahead."

Gongsun Pu shook his head: "I can't say anything for now."

Zong Yanli: “…”

These counselors just like to play guessing games!

You can't say what sound you made?

Meng Qi and others beside Zong Yanli all stared at Gongsun Pu with an expression of "you are kidding me", which made Long Feiguang laugh a little. He couldn't help but coughed and said, "Please forgive me, General. My third brother is good at observing the weather. The so-called right time, right place and right people are all indispensable."

"Yes, yes, yes." Gongsun Pu laughed and nodded, "Please wait a moment, General."

"What are you waiting for?" Zong Yanli was a little confused.

"Wait for the storm to come!"

After coming out of the tent, the way Monkie, Lu Hao and others looked at Gongsun Pu changed, as if they were worried that their general had invited a charlatan into the tent.

Seeing Gongsun Pu stargazing again, Meng Qi frowned even more. He pulled Lu Hao and said, "Do you think this charlatan can really bring about wind and rain?"

Lu Hao looked up at the sky and felt the hot wind blowing in the summer night. He couldn't help but say, "The sky is clear every day, so why is there any wind or rain?"

Monk took a bite of the biscuit and chewed it, saying, "Our general really believed it. Could he have been fooled?"

"Don't worry." Lu Hao was calm: "No one can be deceived, not even our general."

"If Gongsun Pu is really incompetent, the general will definitely kill him with one blow. How can he cheat?" If the two armies are facing each other and the words of the confused army are used, how can it be tolerated?

"Hey! Pei Liang!" Monkie and Lu Hao couldn't figure out what was going on, so when they saw Pei Liang, they immediately came over eagerly.

Pei Liang was amused when he heard the concerns of Meng Qi and Lu Hao. He couldn't help but correct them, "It's not some charlatan who can call the wind and rain, but he can predict the wind and rain by observing the stars."

There are such talented people in the world. The job of the Astronomical Observatory in the imperial palace is to observe the stars at night and warn of wind and rain. However, with the fall of the dynasty and the rise of a new king, there are fewer and fewer people with such abilities.

At first glance, it sounds like some kind of charlatan, but if this person really has such ability, our general will have made a real fortune.

"What's so good about the stars?" Monkie muttered. He can also see the stars!

Doesn’t that fill the night sky?

Even if he stared until his eyes were tired, he still couldn't figure out what was going on.
