Wandering the Heavens

"Is the King of Qin really fearless?" Chen Ping saw that Lu Zhi was really unmoved by any persuasion.

"Chen Ping, you haven't figured out your situation yet. I can order the army to attack at any time, cut your camp into several pieces, and then annihilate you one by one. But I didn't do that. Do you know why?" Lu Zhi said coldly.

"Please enlighten me, King Qin." Chen Ping admitted that he had underestimated Lu Zhi.

"Among the Han army, ordinary soldiers, officers at all levels and even you counselors can live, even Liu Bang's wife and children can live, except for two people! Liu Bang and Zhang Liang, I want their lives!" Lu Zhi revealed the bottom line of the Qin army.

"Does the King of Qin know the consequences of saying this?" Chen Ping's face was gloomy.

"I understand! So weren't you trying to ruin Liu Bang's reputation last night? And now you're even scolding Zhang Liang tonight." Lu Zhi didn't care.

"Why must the King of Han and Mr. Zifang have to die?" Chen Ping spoke up for them both.

"Let's talk about Liu Bang first. He made up rumors and angered my father to death. This is a personal vendetta. Since I have inherited the Tai'a sword from the First Emperor and was named King of Qin, I naturally have to destroy Liu Bang. And the most important thing is that Liu Bang is not trustworthy. King Xiang didn't like him at the beginning, but he still named him King of Hanzhong and gave him Bashu. But what did Liu Bang do? He arrived in Hanzhong in April and sent troops to Guanzhong in June. In the following years, he attacked the kings eastward from Guanzhong and Hanzhong like a scabby dog. Not long after the demarcation of the Honggou, he broke his promise and raised an army again, until King Xiang was at his wit's end and committed suicide in the Wujiang River. I have no reason to keep this unfaithful and ungrateful person alive, no matter it is a personal vendetta or public outrage. Chen Ping, do you think what I said makes sense?" Lu Zhi looked at Chen Ping with shining eyes.

This was not a negotiation at all, it was obviously a demonstration. Chen Ping, who was originally full of confidence, was speechless after hearing what Lu Zhi said.

"As for Zhang Liang, if Liu Bang was an ambitious man who wanted to be the emperor, then Zhang Liang was the evil man who encouraged Liu Bang to keep waging wars in order to become the emperor. In his eyes, the people of the world are not even grass! The dead people need an explanation, or in other words, the world would be much quieter without them." Lü Zhi did not hide her disgust for this Han army's top strategist.

"Are these words from the heart of the King of Qin? But the King of Han still has an army of 100,000. A trapped beast will still fight. Isn't the King of Qin afraid of those soldiers?" Chen Ping asked righteously.

"Han Xin, such a good offensive commander, died at the hands of my Qin army. Now you only have a few useless people left. Do you still want to break out?" Lu Zhi told Chen Ping a desperate news.

"They also said that they would pretend to surrender on the condition of supporting me to become emperor, and wait for an opportunity to make a comeback. If I don't agree, they will show their power and let Liu Bang marry me so that we can share the world. A hundred years later, the Liu family will be the masters of the country again. These dirty plots make me sick! Go back and wait! Wait for the moment when the knife hanging over your head falls."

"Goodbye!" Chen Ping, who was always able to judge the situation, could not find any weakness in Lu Zhi. He wanted to go back quickly to tell Liu Bang and Zhang Liang that Han Xin had been defeated.

In the Han army tent, Liu Bang had already walked around hundreds of times, and Zhang Liang stood aside with a frown. After his country was destroyed and his family was ruined, he was able to get by everywhere by relying on his status as a Han nobleman. Even after his plan to bribe a strong man to assassinate the Qin Emperor was exposed, he was still living a carefree life in Qin.

But now...

"King of Han, Mr. Zifang!" Chen Ping did not let the soldiers inform but went straight into the tent.

"What's the matter?" Liu Bang suddenly rushed to Chen Ping and asked.

"I am incompetent!" Chen Ping looked down at the ground.

"Then what did Lu Zhi say? Were there other people in the camp at that time?" Zhang Liang was much calmer.

"King of Han, Mr. Zifang, there were only Lu Zhi and some female soldiers in the camp at that time." Chen Ping explained truthfully.

"After Chen Ping met Lu Zhi, before she even opened her mouth, she told him about her subordinates' past and their grievances with the King of Han." Chen Ping glanced at Liu Bang.

"She is indeed a woman and a child, so unpresentable. Doesn't she know what women will face when they rule the country?" Zhang Liang was a little upset.

"She asked her subordinates who the Youyoukou people were and how many soldiers they had?" Chen Ping replied cautiously.

"I have underestimated her. Isn't she afraid that these 100,000 soldiers will fight her to the death?" Liu Bang's eyes were red.

"King of Han, General Han Xin has been defeated by them and committed suicide in front of the battlefield!" Chen Ping took out the box that the Qin army had given him before leaving, and inside was Han Xin's sword.

"Han Xin has misled me! He can't even beat a woman! Surrender, I surrender!" Liu Bang slammed the box to the ground.

"King of Han, Mr. Zifang..." Chen Ping hesitated to speak.

"Speak!" Liu Bang shouted.

"Then Lu Zhi said that everyone in the Han army camp, including the family of the King of Han, can survive. Only the King of Han and Mr. Zifang must die." After Chen Ping finished speaking, he closed his eyes and waited for Liu Bang's sword to chop down.

"Lü Zhi, I will never forgive you!" Liu Bang was defeated.

……

Night fell again, and Chen Ping sat in his tent, waiting for the moment when the Qin army would shout.

He could not imagine that Lu Zhi, a woman at that, could organize and train such an elite army under the nose of Xiang Yu and defeat a general like Han Xin. She also had a secret hand that was omnipresent and could gather information. She knew the general situation of the world without leaving Pei County. Her understanding of the world was incompatible with that of the current scholars. She overturned the rules believed by the Han army with just a few words.

She doesn't look like someone from this world at all! Could she really be sent by God to avenge Xiang Yu?

When the time came, the Qin army gave their order on time, and this time they took Zhang Liang with them. Zhang Liang had a very disgraceful resume. When he was in the Qin Dynasty, he traveled everywhere to make friends with bandits and bought people's hearts to assassinate the Qin Emperor. After his failure, he was wanted. After Liu Bang started his army, he came to surrender. When Xiang Yu was dividing the fiefdom, he pretended to serve the King of Han. After the King of Han was killed by Xiang Yu, he sneaked to Hanzhong and continued to incite Liu Bang to ignore the soldiers and the people under his rule and launch wars several times.

Liu Bang was originally a village headman of the Qin Dynasty, but he fled from his post and rebelled, which was disloyalty; when he was in Pei County, he was idle and did not work or support his parents, which was unfilial; he proclaimed himself emperor and did not care about the lives of soldiers and civilians, which was unkind; he was enfeoffed by Xiang Yu but turned around to attack Guanzhong, and signed alliances with Xiang Yu several times but broke them several times, which was unjust.

If such a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust person were to become emperor as he wishes, how would the people live?

Chen Ping listened and found it to be reasonable...

Zhang Liang was trembling. Yes, he was always well prepared, but now he was only deeply afraid. He had never thought that Lü Zhi would be so vicious. In order to show kindness, the victorious party would always treat the defeated party well to win people's hearts. When the King of Qin destroyed the Kingdom of Han, all the nobles who surrendered and supported the Qin army lived well, including the King of Han himself. All the nobles who resisted were killed by the Qin army without exception.

But now Lu Zhi wanted to do things so drastically. She did not show her benevolence by favoring the high-ranking officials of the Han army, but instead listed the sins of Liu Bang and herself.

Liu Bang and Zhang Liang didn’t think they were wrong, that Xiang Yu was not worthy of ruling the world, and that it was wrong for him to try his best to defeat Xiang Yu?

Chen Ping said that Lu Zhi's attitude was that anyone in the Han army could survive, except King Han Liu Bang and military advisor Zhang Liang. What kind of hatred was this? When the two of them still felt aggrieved, Chen Ping told them the fact that Liu Bang had broken the alliance several times, and the two were speechless.

Only at this time did Liu Bang and Zhang Liang believe that there really was such a thing as credit in the world. Liu Bang broke his alliances time and time again, completely blocking his own retreat. If he succeeded, people would naturally praise him, but if he failed, it would be a fatal blow.

Shout if you want! Curse if you want!

Liu Bang was thick-skinned and didn't care. He sat in the camp, holding his sword, and waited for dawn while suppressing his anger.

In three days, the 100,000 Han troops were reduced by more than 20,000, and several thousand were killed by Liu Bang's army when they fled the camp.

Since Lu Zhi couldn't do the job, Liu Bang and Zhang Liang turned their attention to Ying Bu in the south. When Chen Ping climbed over the trenches with a pile of money and arrived at the military camp in the south, Ying Bu had already handed over the command of the army to Lu Su and left the camp.

"You guys really won't give up!" Lu Su rolled her eyes without caring about her image.

Is there no one in the Lu family? Why are there two girls leading the troops?

"Chen Ping greets Miss Lu San." Chen Ping was very humble.

Lu Suxin's innocent look gave him hope of breaking out.

"Chen Ping, my sister said you can live, but I want to kill you." Lu Su took out the dagger Yu Xian gave her and used it to cut her nails.
