"Great Chu Xing, King Chen Sheng!"

"The princes are cruel and unkind, exploiting the people and killing them wantonly. We are the King Xing army, and we will do our best to heaven, and Zhang Dachu State!"

In the Rushui River Basin, Chen Sheng, the leader of the peasant army, launched a peasant uprising to incite the hearts of the people. Peasants who could not withstand the war and exploitation joined Chen Sheng's team, so that Chen Sheng's team continued to grow and developed to tens of thousands of people to establish the Zhangchu Kingdom.

All the forces in the Rushui River Basin were panicked, fearing that Chen Sheng's peasant uprising would affect their territory, so they immediately sent troops to suppress Chen Sheng, but they were defeated by Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng conquered many villages and towns in succession, made great revenge, and executed lords from all over the country, making the situation in the Rushui River Basin even more chaotic.

One of the first-level towns was captured by Chen Sheng's uprising army, and the fire spread and black smoke rolled.

The lord of this town was a prince in the late Ming Dynasty. He started his own business with a team of Ming troops and established the town.

This Ming Dynasty prince originally wanted to work hard to achieve the hegemony of his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, but he was not the same material after all. After the territory was upgraded to the town, he began to seek pleasure, so he forced the women to rob the people's wealth and paste, and increased the land tax to 80%, which led to the people's misfortune.

The rich family smells of wine and meat, and there are bones that are frozen to death on the road.

The servants of the Ming Dynasty princes also relied on their power to beat the civilians and aroused public anger.

The oppressed people in the town joined Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's peasant uprising army and attacked the county government.

The servants of the Ming Dynasty prince were beaten to death by angry civilians, while the bloated prince was dragged out of the county government like a dead pig by the people, and a sky lantern was lit, and the oil was everywhere.

Chen Sheng came to the arrow tower and looked down at the entire town.

"Wu Guang, do you remember what we said?"

"Of course I remember. I would rather have a genitals than kings, princes, generals and ministers!"

"In the future, I will be the king and you will be the fake king. We will work together to achieve the world. This time, we cannot repeat the same mistakes. You are the only one I truly trust."

Chen Sheng turned around and looked at Wu Guang behind him.

Without Wu Guang's help, Chen Sheng could not get to this point.

Wang Feng intervened in Chen Sheng's peasant uprising army, fought bravely in this battle, killed four people, and was promoted to commander.

However, Wang Feng, who had been involved in Chen Sheng's uprising army, was worried.

It would be fine if an ordinary peasant uprising broke out in the Rushui area, but the leader of this peasant uprising was Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang launched the first large-scale peasant uprising, which was the object of imitation by the leaders of peasant uprising troops in all dynasties. The words "The Prince, Prince, General, and Minister" are better than "The Monopoly of the nobles of the seven countries" have broken the monopoly status of the nobles of the seven countries, and made countless nobles afraid.

When Chen Sheng established the Zhang Chu State in Rushui, it would inevitably affect the Shi Town guarded by Wang Feng. Therefore, Wang Feng specifically intervened in Chen Sheng's subordinates to investigate Chen Sheng's virtuality and reality.

After Chen Sheng captured the town, he already had a population of more than 100,000, which was enough to threaten Yishui County and even the Luoyang Basin.

Yishui County has a population of only 30,000, which is at a disadvantage compared to Chen Sheng's population of more than 100,000.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were good at inciting people's hearts. People from villages and towns along the way joined Chen Sheng's uprising army one after another. It took only one month for Chen Sheng to expand rapidly from a population of thousands to a large force with a population of more than 100,000.

The lower the people's hearts, the more likely they are to be influenced by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's talents, allowing Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to quickly strengthen their power.

In the Rushui area, dozens of lords fought hard, but they were unable to decide the outcome.

In order to raise the food and grass needed for war, some generals directly plundered the food of civilians, causing civilians in the Rushui River Basin to complain.

Originally, Chen Sheng's power had been defeated by a Jiedushi in the late Tang Dynasty. As a result, Chen Sheng used the people's hearts to launch a large-scale peasant uprising, turning defeat into victory, killing the Jiedushi in the Tang Dynasty, and killing another prince in the late Ming Dynasty, becoming one of the major forces in the Rushui River Basin.

Not only that, after Chen Sheng established the Zhang Chu State, the peasant uprising army began to march towards other forces.

"This matter must be reported to the lord as soon as possible, otherwise it will lead to a major disaster."

Wang Feng is also the leader of the peasant uprising army. He knew that the peasant uprising was in full swing and if Chen Sheng's expansion was not curbed as soon as possible, the Xiazhen power would also be affected.

Other forces near Rushui also began to form alliances to jointly suppress Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising army.

Instead of resting from the Chen Sheng uprising, Rushui fell into a larger war.

When the Chen Sheng Uprising broke out in Rushui reached Zhang Hua, Zhang Hua was busy leading all officials to organize farmers to harvest food.

"Chen Sheng and Wu Guang appeared in Rushui and established the Zhang Chu State. After several wars, the population of Zhang Chu State has increased to more than 100,000. Zhang Chu State cannot be underestimated."

When Zhang Hua learned that a peasant uprising broke out in Rushui, he also believed that the princes in the Rushui area had exploited the civilians too hard, so such a large-scale peasant uprising broke out.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were not capable of commanding the troops, but they had the talent to incite people. If the Zhang Chu Kingdom established by Chen Sheng expanded rapidly, it would also be a threat to Zhang Hua.

The civilians in Xia Town regard Zhang Hua as the reincarnation of a god, and the people's hearts reached an astonishing 97 points.

Because Zhang Hua is very popular with the people, even if Chen Sheng and Wu Guang suddenly appear in Xia Town at this moment, the civilians in Xia Town will not be incited by their talents.

However, it is hard to say about the civilians in other towns, after all, not everyone is satisfied with Zhang Hua's rule.

"Let Wang Feng continue to serve as a detailed work in Chen Sheng's peasant army, and the troops in Shizhen will be led by Jiang Qin."

Zhang Hua arranged for Wang Feng to join Chen Sheng's peasant uprising army to monitor Chen Sheng's every move.

Wang Feng himself is a hero in the Green Forest and is most suitable for invading the rebel army.

If Chen Sheng only attacked the forces in the Rushui River Basin, then he could not violate the river water, and Zhang Hua would sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight.

But if Chen Sheng and Wu Guang attack Luoyang, then Zhang Hua had to defeat the peasant army.

"We occupy Heluo, will we go out of Hulao Pass and attack Guandong in the future. Or go west to Qinchuan and guide Guanzhong?"

"Or, cross the Yellow River to the north and capture the land of Hebei? Cross Funiu Mountain to the south and take Nanyang?"

Zhang Hua summoned Chen Gong, Li Ji, and Fan Zhongyan to set the next strategy goal.

Chen Gong said: "Those who get Guanzhong can win the world. Therefore, we will first take the 800-mile Qinchuan."

Fan Zhongyan agreed: "I think the Loess Plateau is not serious, the soil erosion is not serious, the soil is fertile, and there are many forests. You can occupy Guanzhong, you can attack and retreat. Now there are hundreds of forces of all sizes in Guanzhong. It is better to take advantage of the chaos in Guanzhong. Otherwise, once there are great talents and strategies, unifying Guanzhong will cause great trouble."

Li Ji nodded, basically agreeing with the two of them: "As for Kanto, there is no danger to defend, and there is no need to rush to attack. If there is any change, the lord can wait for an opportunity to act."

"Then is going to attack Qin Chuan next?"

Seeing that everyone decided to take the Guanzhong Plain first, Zhang Hua turned his attention to Guanzhong.

It is said that there are many forces in the Guanzhong Plain, and various forces are crazily building docks and protecting themselves. Therefore, solid docks can be seen everywhere in the Guanzhong Plain. Basically, there is at least one dock every ten miles.

If you want to attack Guanzhong, the first thing you can do is to block Yuan Shu's power at the entrance of Qinchuan.

After deciding on the strategic direction, Zhang Hua continued to recruit troops and prepare to make a strategy for Guanzhong.

The main reason why Chen Gong, Li Ji and Fan Zhongyan chose to attack Guanzhong was that Qinchuan had many forces fighting in a melee, and they should attack as soon as possible before the overlord was born, otherwise the forces in Guanzhong would become the biggest threat to Luoyang.

Zhang Hua began to send out detailed works to infiltrate the Yuan Shu forces, and the Ma Shang of the Yuan Shu forces was also bought by Zhang Hua to provide information for Zhang Hua.

Zhang Hua used these businessmen as pioneers to investigate the reality and reality.

As long as the benefits are sufficient, the businessman will be willing to serve.

Not only Yuan Shu's forces, Zhang Hua also sent merchants to the Great Jin Kingdom established by Nurhaci for investigation, as well as to the Taihang Mountains north of the Yellow River.

Only by knowing oneself and one’s enemy can one never be defeated in a hundred battles.

The surrounding forces gradually entered Zhang Hua's sight.

To the west is Yuan Shu's Dazhong, to the east is Nurhaci's Dajin, to the southeast is Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's Zhang Chu.

Zhang Hua still knows nothing about the forces north of the Yellow River.

To the north of Mengjin, it is equivalent to Hanoi County in the Han Dynasty.

Hanoi County is located north of the Yellow River and south of the Taihang Mountains, and is in a southwest-northeast direction.

The businessman who went north of the Yellow River to investigate returned and brought back the news that Zhang Hua was concerned about.

"Sun Ce actually established a force on the north bank of the Yellow River?"

Zhang Hua learned from the return merchant that Sun Ce of the Eastern Wu was north of the Yellow River and was secretly surprised.

According to the information investigated by the merchants, Sun Ce established Heyang Town north of the Yellow River, which was already a second-level town with a territory of 300,000 people and 9,000 cavalrymen. He is fighting a force established by a Mongolian military general. The two sides have fought dozens of times and have a victory or defeat.

The power established by this Mongolian military general was tenacious enough to fight back and forth with Sun Ce, known as the little overlord of Jiangdong. This man also took charge of the strongest military branch of the Mongolian Empire, the Qiexue Army.

The Qiexue Army was Genghis Khan Temujin's Imperial Guard, and was almost invincible in that era.

In addition to Sun Ce, Mongolian military generals, there are other forces located in the south of Taihang Mountain, and it is definitely not just Sun Ce and Mongolian military generals.

When Zhang Hua learned of the news, he immediately summoned Chen Gong, Li Ji, Fan Zhongyan and other advisers.

Chen Gong was a strategist of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Li Ji was a military general of the Tang Dynasty, and Fan Zhongyan was a famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty. They were all active before the rise of the Mongols, so they did not know the horror of the Mongol Empire.

"The Mongols at their peak were even stronger than the Huns, Turks, and Khitans at their peak."

Zhang Hua explained this, Chen Gong, Li Ji, and Fan Zhongyan could probably imagine how the Mongol Empire was at its peak.

After all, the Mongol Empire was the first empire to fight from Siberia to Eastern Europe, conquered the Central Plains, expeditions to Japan and Java, and influenced world history.

"Fortunately, the Mongolian military general who confronted Sun Ce was not Genghis Khan, otherwise the pressure from north of the Yellow River would be unprecedented."

Zhang Hua is not very willing to confront Genghis Khan.

If Genghis Khan brought the founding generals of the Mongol Empire and the Qiexue army through time, Zhang Hua's territory might be captured.

With the awakened talent of the Qiexue Army, Zhang Hua could not defeat the Qiexue Army with tens of thousands of people.

Therefore, annexing the weak forces around, continuously strengthening their strength, and then fighting to the death with Temujin and others is the only way to win.

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if Sun Ce's influence among the ministers in Jiangdong when he recalled Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Sun Shangxiang, Gu Yong and others?"

Li Ji pointed out a serious problem.
