The Conqueror Isn’t Alone

When it was learned that King Xiang, who had always only focused on military affairs, actually abandoned his troops and decided to use strategies first...

Although the whole army did not dare to whisper to each other openly, they were all shocked in their hearts.

The staff and civil servants accompanying the army were shocked and even more excited.

They couldn't help but look at each other, and they all read the words 'determined to win' in each other's eyes.

The opportunity they had dreamed of finally arrived, how could they be willing to give it up to others?

It should be noted that there are many staff in the Chu camp, most of whom are out-and-out princes.

They did not hesitate to leave their homes and kneel down to serve King Xiang. All they wanted was to one day be able to imitate the first-rate political advisors such as Su Qin and Zhang Yi - to influence the world and control the changes in the world through lobbying and making plans.

When the monarch succeeds in his great cause, they can also follow the dragon's soaring upwards, realize their lifelong ambitions, and leave their names in history.

He chose to follow King Xiang, not only because Chu had the strongest power and the highest reputation as an overlord, but also because many princes in the world liked strong generals who were good at leading troops in battle, and generally looked down on Confucian scholars and scribes.

Only King Xiang was known for his violent temper, but he was gentle and polite to them.

What disappoints them is that behind this courtesy, it also means emphasizing military force and suppressing culture, and not being reused.

Unexpectedly, in the face of such a big crisis, King Xiang, who was usually impulsive and brave, calmed down for the first time and was willing to send lobbyists in advance to make plans, which really surprised them.

When they inquired carefully and found out that it was General Lu who suddenly arrived who persuaded King Xiang to change his mind, they suddenly realized.

Sure enough, it was General Lu who was talking about Xiang!

Fan Zeng made a careful selection and finally chose Wu She from Zhongxuyi and three other people.

They have been waiting for many years, and finally they have a chance to make a difference, and they are eager to try and full of ambition.

If it hadn't taken time to prepare, they would have set out overnight.

Now all we have to do is wait for tomorrow morning to take our troops and go to various countries in order to see the kings as soon as possible.

As soon as everyone set off, a strange face greeted Lu Bu in his tent.

General Lu, in the dead of night, Lu Bu still had a bitter look on his face and was deep in thought. He was silently thinking about the rough map he had obtained from Prince Han. The guard suddenly reported: Mr. Chen Xinwu wants to see you.

What the hell? There were so many pass marks on the map. Lu Bu's eyes were blurred and he was very upset. When he heard it was a name he had never heard of before, he didn't even think about it and said impatiently: No.

The guard was stunned by this decisive answer and did not dare to ask, so he whispered back and asked to see the man.

Unexpectedly, Lord Xinwu did not leave at this point, but asked the guards to report again: Jun Xinwu said that the general is troubled, and he may be able to make some plans to solve the problem.

Lu Bu frowned. Although he didn't believe this nonsense, he could tell that the other party was determined to see him.

Then he scratched his head, casually folded the map he had studied for a long time, and said in a deep voice: Invite him in.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Xinwu, surnamed Chen, had already opened the curtain and entered the account.

Lu Bu sat on the main seat, raised his eyes slightly, and looked at him with a pair of sharp tiger eyes.

Although this man wears a long robe and hair crown in the style of a civil servant, he has a tall figure and a majestic appearance. Anyone who looks at him looks like a handsome husband who can make the eyes shine.

Only because of the pair of slightly upturned fox eyes, he lost the handsomeness of Feng Qingmingyue, but gained a bit more wit and coquettishness.

The man came forward calmly, bowed slightly and raised the corners of his lips slightly: I have met General Lu.

sit down.

Lu Bu glanced at him lightly, not really appreciating the appearance of someone who was full of bad intentions at the first glance, and said casually: Why do you come to see me instead of asking your Majesty to tell you something?

Chen Ping smiled, but spoke straightforwardly: Ping has followed King Xiang for several years, and although he has not been treated badly, his plans have not been used. General Lu is not only extremely intelligent, but also courageous. He dares to go against his advice repeatedly. So, Fang Fang shamelessly came here just to give it a try.

Although this statement is true, the reason behind it is by no means that simple.

As early as Chen Sheng's incident, Chen Ping knew that the world would fall into long-term chaos, so he seized the opportunity and led a small group of young men to defect to Wei Wang Jiu.

However, although King Jiu of Wei kept him, he only appointed him as a servant, in charge of chariots and chariots, but he refused to listen to his many suggestions.

Later, he was starved, slandered and jealous by the king, so he was forced to run away.

As Wei Wang Jiu was first defeated by Zhang Han, Zhang Han was repelled by Xiang Liang. However, not long after, Zhang Han came back and defeated Xiang Liang's arrogant army. Chen Pingping waited for a long time, and Fang took a fancy to Xiang Yu, who inherited his uncle's legacy, as his new lord, and threw himself under his command, following him around many places.

After entering the pass from the Chu army, he was promoted together with his colleagues and was named a minister, but he had no real power.

It didn't take long for Chen Ping to see through Xiang Yu's weakness of emphasizing military force over strategy, being reckless and lacking in strategy, and trusting treacherous officials. He was unwilling to submit to mediocrity and ended up in obscurity. He also did not believe that Xiang Yu had the majestic strategy to unify the world. Sooner or later, he was defeated at the hands of others. Therefore, he acted in a low-key manner and silently observed the movements of the princes, hoping to choose another bright future. The Lord is congenial.

During the night banquet at the Qin Palace, he first met Zhang Liang, a wise man from Korea, and he felt that they were in harmony with each other. Then he saw that Liu Bang was flexible and capable, and had great talents. On the other hand, Xiang Yu was blind and confused, so he couldn't help but choose a new master. thoughts.

Although his connections were not extensive, apart from Zhang Liang, who had this connection, he also had an acquaintance with Wei Wuzhi in the Han camp.

If you go and vote, there will be no shortage of recommendations.

Chen Ping thought about it and was considering it, but unexpectedly the situation suddenly changed.

, a little-known Lu Bu came in midway!

The king of Chu was killed on the spot, and all the Han soldiers and Wang Suiju were covered in blood.

This young warrior, who has always been inconspicuous since joining the camp and is willing to be an inconspicuous halberd-wielding man, actually hides such a brave and ingenious plan!

Chen Ping watched with his own eyes as he killed a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood with just one man and one sword, which shocked the four people and changed the situation drastically.

Because he seized the opportunity to strike first, Liu Bang, who was a guest at the table one moment and whom he was quite optimistic about, was suddenly charged with murdering his lord and was forced to flee westward into Shu. Xiang Yu went to the obstructive king who restrained him, and then He put the blame on his powerful rival, took full control of the power, and established himself as the overlord. What's even more incredible is that he also listened to the advice and changed his plan to lead his troops east to Pengcheng. Instead, he made Xianyang his capital and managed the prosperous Guanzhong.

Dramatic changes came one after another, making him dizzy.

Chen Ping was surprised, and he couldn't help but become deeply interested in exploring this mysterious General Lu.

At first glance, the method seems crude and direct, very much like that of King Xiang, but looking at the results, they all reveal a sophisticated calculation.

What made him completely abandon his intention to leave Chu was the earth-shaking changes that took place after King Xiang listened to his advice.

——No longer stick to the overlord of the Chu Kingdom, and move to the north to fight, but only rule the narrow confines of the Chu Kingdom.

Instead, they first occupied Qi Qi and merged with Yan and Zhao. While carefully managing the base camp in the rear, they also gathered people's hearts on the front line, clearly showing their ambition to devour the world.

Chen Ping's eyes were as bright as a flash, and he couldn't tell that he was facing enemies on all sides. The Chu army, which had lost three lands in a row, seemed to be walking on thin ice, but they also had an excellent opportunity and were at the critical moment of determining victory or defeat.

However, this opportunity is given by God, but it depends on whether King Xiang is willing to take it.

If King Xiang is stubborn and insists on defeating the enemy with brute force, he will be surrounded by the princes, make it difficult to attack the enemy, and lose food and grass. He is bound to face a defeat in which his troops will be exhausted, his food and supplies will be exhausted, and his relatives will be betrayed and separated.

Because of this thought, when the Chu army vowed to attack and bent on revenge, Chen Pingping looked indifferent and just watched coldly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lu Bu arrived, Xiang Yu went out of his way and completely changed his mind.

——As long as King Xiang is willing to listen to his advice and use his plan, the situation will be settled.

Chen Ping waited patiently for a long time, and finally made a decision that night to stay in Chu Camp.

Since he had no intention of switching to other forces, he was unwilling to remain unknown and be a Xinwu Lord in name only.

Instead of asking for trouble in front of King Xiang, he would rather give it a try in front of Lu Qishi, who was both rough and fine and could change the overall situation by himself.

See if you can get this recommendation and show your talents.

Lu Bu was still half focused on the map just now, and nodded absently.

Just when he was about to say something perfunctory, a thunderbolt suddenly flashed through his mind.

His whole body stiffened imperceptibly, and he raised his eyes suddenly. His piercing eyes looked directly at the handsome and calm staff member and said, What is your... name?

Back to the general, he asked abruptly, but Chen Ping didn't care, and nodded gracefully: My name is Chen Ping.

...Chen...Ping?

Lu Bu's scalp tightened.

——Damn it, why is it Chen Ping! ! !

When he later realized that the person in front of him was actually the conspirator in history who was even worse than Jia Wenhe, the poisonous scholar who made him fear, even though Lu Bu's face tensed up with all his strength, he was covered in sweat. The hair exploded instantly.

How could he not know that this dangerous man who was supposed to be prosperous under Liu Moazi was now also living under Xiang Hanzi's staff? !

Lu Bu was on the battlefield, invincible, taking the lead, leading troops to charge into battle without hesitation.

If he were to fight alone, except for the fact that he had the unlucky chance of encountering a powerful and reckless man like King Han, he was fearless and had no opponent in the world.

Only after suffering too many secret losses from Jia Xu, I felt a little frightened by these poisonous strategists who were more thoughtful than a honeycomb.

But after a second thought, his mind gradually settled down.

That Liu Mouse was still hiding far away in his lair in Bashu, and he didn't know when he would see the light of day again... In his opinion, Chen Ping probably didn't collude with the old thief and that's why he had stayed on his own for such a long time.

Besides, the leader of the Chu Kingdom is the stupid overlord.

Even if Chen Ping really tricked me, the unlucky one should be the idiot from the Xiang family, who couldn't trick me. What's he worried about?

After Lu Bu was shocked, he quickly calmed down.

I was not panicking anymore, but I was instinctively vigilant and a little frightened.

No matter what he was thinking in his heart, his gaze remained calm, and he looked at Chen Ping expressionlessly, asking equally straightforwardly: What plan do you want to offer?

Chen Ping knew that he was nameless, so when Lu Bu asked him his name rashly, he felt happy and didn't feel offended at all.

Seeing that Lu Bu was really asking him for advice and listening patiently, he couldn't help but smile and slowly said what was on his mind: The princes should speak, but not everything.

Lu Bu said Oh lightly, his tone rose slightly, his tiger eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was completely inscrutable: In your opinion, who should say it, and who should not say it?

Chen Ping said without hesitation: On behalf of Wang Xie, he has long been resentful towards his former minister Zhang Er. It can be said that Zhang Er resented the king and had always been good friends with Liu Bang. He also had old friendships with Shenyang, the king of Henan, and Sima Yan, the king of Yin. The four of them There is no need to say anything; King Wei Bao must be eliminated, and it must be eliminated quickly, so there is no need to say anything.

Lu Bu listened with a deep expression, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: I would like to hear the details.

If you don't listen, you won't listen. If you don't understand, you'll be put down.
