Chen Xiao is not an ordinary person. He has a prominent family background and is famous and has a high disciple.

Chen Xiao's ancestor was a royal family of the Chen State. His ancestor Yu Yan's father was once Tao Zheng of Zhou. After King Wu conquered Shang, he appointed Duke Hu to Chen without waiting to get off the car. Since the founding of the State of Chen, he has been unable to avoid the war in the Central Plains and the turmoil. In the end, the State of Chu completely destroyed the State of Chen and turned it into its own territory. The Chen family naturally fled everywhere, with the descendants of the Chen family and the descendants of the Tian family who are now spread all over the world.

The Tian family is because Mr. Chen was a doctor of Qi, and his descendants are Tian as their clan, which is the current Qi family.

After the fall of the Chen State, the Chen disciples fled everywhere. At this time, the ancestors of Chen Xiao's branch became the direct disciple of a Confucian master. The Confucian master was called Gong Yang Gao. He was originally from Qi, but later came to Nanyang to worship Zixia as his teacher. Therefore, the Chen Xiao family passed down through the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Gong Yang Gao's theory at this moment was still oral, so these direct disciples were very precious. When Chen Xiao grew up, he also wanted to find a teacher to study the Spring and Autumn Period better.

So he came to Qi State, visited Xunzi, and became Xunzi's disciple.

He was serious and wise, but he did not have the heart to pursue fame and fortune. Mao Jiao valued him very much. Not only Mao Jiao, but also Zhao Kuo liked him very much. Perhaps because of his love for the house and Wu, he also had a good impression of Chen Xiao because of his good feelings for Xunzi. After Chen Xiao returned to Nanjun, he told Zhao Kuo everything he saw in Chenjun. Chen Xiao was from Chenjun and he knew the situation of Chenjun quite well.

Chen Xiao said seriously: "I said several times that you can't come to Chen County. Fan Yuqi was very anxious and angry. He wanted you to go to Chen County, but he was not so concerned about managing Chen County. I saw that the situation in Chen County was not as good as Nanyang and Nan County. You had no friendship with him. His attitude was very problematic. Moreover, I found that there were many officials sitting beside him who I didn't know..."

Based on his understanding of Chen County, Chen Xiao told Zhao Kuo all the strange things he found. When Zhao Kuo heard this, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "I know the small things, and I'm talking about people like Chen Xiao!" Hearing Zhao Kuo's praise, Chen Xiao was of course happy. Zhao Kuo's comments now have a huge impact, and everyone knows this... Chen Xiao said again: "There is another very suspicious thing..."

"There are no thieves on the road..."

Chen Xiao said seriously: "I dare not hide it. Because Chen County is close to Chu State, people from Chu have fled to Chen for many years to make thieves..." "It can be said that Chen County has the most lacking thieves, so ordinary passers-by dare not travel alone, for fear of meeting thieves... But in such a place, I did not encounter a thief during the trip... I also saw some pedestrians rushing alone, which was very abnormal."

“What does this have to do with rebellion?”

"It is normal to rectify public order because Marquis Wu Cheng came." Mao Jiao asked, and Chen Xiao smiled and said, "I don't believe he can do things that neither you nor General Xin Wu can do. If he had such ability, Chen County would not be so unbearable... Countdown every year... There must be a conspiracy behind the strange things..."

Zhao Kuo narrowed his eyes, he looked at Mao Jiao on the side, and said with a smile: "Very good, please tell the public that my condition has worsened and I need to rest for a while before I can get on the road. In addition, I wrote a letter to Chen County and asked him to ask the famous doctor to see what could be done... Write him a few letters in my name and ask him about his situation. Leave the army of Nan County to me, and I will pacify these things."

"Please be careful. Fan Yuqi must be supported by the Chu people..." Chen Xiao hurriedly reminded him. Then, he realized that he had said a little too much. How could Wu Chenghou not understand such a simple thing? Sure enough, Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for your reminder. I need you to rush to Nanyang and find Xin Wu..." Zhao Kuo gave a few more instructions, and then let them both leave here.

Zhao Kuo took out a map of Chu and looked at it carefully.

Fan Yuqi was very anxious, but it was useless to be anxious. At this best time, Zhao Kuo was actually sick. This was something he had never thought about. However, Zhao Kuo was older and once he came to the south, it was not a strange thing to be sick. He could only hope that Zhao Kuo could get better soon, and it would be better to get better before the Qin State ended the foreign war. Otherwise, he would have to choose to attack Nanjun and catch Zhao Kuo.

The letters from the prefect of Nanjun and Zhao Kuo were also sent over. Mao Jiao expressed his concern and fear about Zhao Kuo in the letter. He hoped that he could send the famous doctor to treat Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Kuo's letter asked him to manage the place with peace of mind and not worry about himself. He asked about the situation in Chen County. Of course, Fan Yuqi hurriedly replied to the letter to calm the other party's mood. He already felt that he was sure to win.

He began to communicate with Zhao Kuo and Mao Jiao in letters. Soon, he heard the news that Zhao Kuo had left Nanjun and went to Chenjun. The spies he sent out also replied. Seeing that Zhao Kuo had already boarded the carriage and was about to come to Chenjun, Fan Yuqi was very happy. He hurriedly sent someone to tell the Chu people that Zhao Kuo was about to go to him and be prepared at any time. He would contact them after he caught Zhao Kuo.

The guests left the mansion with letters. Fan Yuqi smiled confidently. It seemed that he was about to end the myth of Zhao Kuo's undefeated. Later generations talked about him, and they must have defeated Zhao Kuo and captured his famous generals. Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing. Zhao Kuo had no idea about the situation in Chen County and did not bring many followers. He had already controlled most of the army. It would be easy to catch Zhao Kuo.

Fan Yuqi stayed in Xianyang for a long time and knew in his heart the attitude of the Qin people towards Zhao Kuo. As long as Zhao Kuo is in hand and he guarantees that he will not commit suicide, Qin will not dare to attack Chu easily... and Chu can also take the opportunity to regain a lot of land, and of course he himself got his wish and became the chief magistrate of Chu and became the largest vassal of Chu. The vassal of Chu has real power, which is completely different from the vassal of Qin, who are famous.

Just as Fan Yuqi was lying in his mansion and dreaming, the school grounds outside Chen County were already surrounded.

Zhao Kuo narrowed his eyes and looked at the schoolyard where several bonfires were lit in the distance. He whispered: "Don't set fires, surround all roads, and you cannot let a soldier escape. After dealing with the schoolyard, you will immediately control Chen County and only allow you to enter and not leave!" Zhao Kuo ordered, and the deputy general lying beside him nodded, his face full of excitement. The opportunity to follow Zhao Kuo to fight was not always available.

After learning about Chen County, Zhao Kuo also believed that Fan Yuqi was going to rebel. On the one hand, he used letters to neglect the enemy, leaving behind a person pretending to be himself. However, Zhao Kuo brought the soldiers from Nanjun to hide his traces and marched to Chen County in a hurry. On the way, Zhao Kuo did not stop and let the soldiers rest. From Nanjun to Chen County, it took Zhao Kuo only ten days to lead the army!

But it took ten days because Zhao Kuo had to pay attention to the officials of Chen County who were patrolling the road, so he could not alarm the pedestrians or expose his position. Zhao Kuo came to Chen County so quickly, and Fan Yuqi had just gathered the army and arranged them in the schoolyard outside Chen County. Zhao Kuo's purpose was the schoolyard here. As long as the opponent's army was subdued first, Fan Yuqi would not have the ability to cause trouble.

No one expected that Zhao Kuo would come so quickly, and the troops stationed outside Zheng County were even more so. They did not even make any preparations. When the soldiers of Nanjun slowly surrounded the enemy under the protection of the night and began to charge, the entire Zheng County schoolyard was in chaos. No one knew what happened. They could only hear the enemy shouting: "Marquis Wu Cheng is here! Those who surrender will not kill them!"

How could Marquis Wu Cheng be here? Why did he attack us? The matter was exposed?

Different soldiers had different ideas, but when they suffered such a sudden attack, they had no ability to fight back at all, the officers could not command, they were in great chaos everywhere, and surrounded them all. Amid the sound of killing, more and more soldiers gave up their resistance and left their weapons. In this raid, Zhao Kuo first blocked the exit, and arranged for the cavalry to guard against the defeated soldiers around, so as not to give the enemy a chance to escape.

Attacks at night are often the most deadly, because they are not too late to wear armor, they cannot afford to pick up weapons, and they are even unable to command or be commanded in chaos. As for the soldiers of Nanjun, Zhao Kuo had already arranged different offensive routes for them, so under the leadership of the officers, they started the attack in an orderly manner. In just one hour, Zhao Kuo defeated all the enemies stationed in the Zheng County School Field in one fell swoop.

Most of the soldiers chose to surrender. Zhao Kuo found several generals, separated them, and did not allow them to meet. Then he solemnly told them that the rebellion had been exposed. Whoever could tell the situation he didn't know could keep his family, and finally he collapsed and said all of Fan Yuqi's plans. Zhao Kuo carefully wrote down these words. Then, he asked the deputy general to be optimistic about these troops, and he went directly to Zheng County.

There is naturally no way to hide the commotion outside the school grounds.

However, Zheng County itself did not have many troops, and there were only a few hundred people responsible for the night watch on the city wall. Zhao Kuo's men had controlled the county town as early as when Zhao Kuo attacked the school grounds. Zhao Kuo brought thousands of people to Zheng County and rushed to Fan Yuqi's mansion first. Fan Yuqi, who was dreaming in the mansion, suddenly woke up. He listened to the noise coming from the courtyard, sat in a daze for a moment, and then scolded angrily: "Why are you quarreling?"

At that moment, the door was suddenly kicked open, and a tall general walked in with a bloody sword.

Fan Yuqi raised his head and looked at the familiar face in front of him. He trembled in fear. He wanted to shout, but couldn't speak, as if he had seen an evil ghost. He was extremely frightened. He opened his mouth wide and took deep breaths. The person in front of him was Zhao Kuo, who was seriously ill. Zhao Kuo, who had just left Nanjun yesterday. How did he come? Why was it so fast? What did he know?

Fan Yuqi had countless doubts in his heart, but before he could question, he grabbed the neck by Zhao Kuo and pulled it off the bed, "Do you know how many people died because of you?" Zhao Kuo asked coldly. Fan Yuqi's face turned pale, but he didn't say a word. Zhao Kuo threw him out of the gate, and several soldiers came forward to catch him. Zhao Kuo ordered: "He must have accomplices in the city, let his disciples expose it, and search for his study..."

That night, soldiers from Nanjun were running around the county town. One official after another was arrested, and one body after another appeared on the street. The next day, when the people went out, they saw this horrifying scene. The corpses everywhere were frightened. The people screamed and hurriedly fled home. After a night of hard fighting, Zhao Kuo finally captured Fan Yuqi, including his accomplices, spies sent by the Chu people.

The army, including Chen County, was completely subdued by Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo sat tiredly indoors. After these days of running around, coupled with the battle and interrogation overnight, Zhao Kuo could not bear it, but the harvest was still huge. Zhao Kuo frowned and looked at the map on the table. The Chu people were indeed coming. However, no one knew where the Chu people were hiding. He did not get news about the Chu army from those disciples. The only person who knew about Fan Yuqi probably knew that he would die, and he would never speak again, and would not eat or drink.

At this time, Zhao Kuo could only rely on his instinct to guess the enemy's position.

If he was a general of Chu, where would he be stationed? He had to get close to Chen County, hide his army, and had a way out... Zhao Kuo's eyes gradually condensed in Juyang's position, and he had a guess in his heart. In the following days, Zhao Kuo sent people to inquire about the situation in Chen County and strictly prohibited the spread of things here. At this time, Xin Wu brought the soldiers of Nanyang County to Chen County hurried to Chen County.

Xin Wu learned about Chen Xiao about Chen Jun's affairs, and did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly sent troops. This was a good opportunity for promotion!

However, when he arrived in Chen, the war had already ended. Zhao Kuo's magical weapon fell from the sky and destroyed the rebels of Chen County overnight. Xin Wu was also a general who led the troops to fight. When he knew about this, he could not speak for a long time. Marquis Wu Cheng was too fast! He became more and more respectful to Zhao Kuo. He paid homage to Zhao Kuo and severely reprimanded the officials of Chen County. He expressed his willingness to obey Zhao Kuo's orders.

"I have sent someone to inquire. The Chu army is hidden in the Juyang generation... Now is a good opportunity to defeat the Chu State."

"Um???"

"General... the soldiers of Chen County should not be used lightly. The soldiers of the two counties together are only 40,000. How can we defeat Chu?"

"The victory or defeat of a war has never been determined by the number of soldiers."

ps: Ahh, the angry Xiao Kuozi is about to teach the young King of Chu a lesson.
