Chapter 192: Chao’s son took over his family, King Wu of Zhou had to think hard
Let's say that Chao Tian played a little trick, and even roped in his brother Chao Lei, who didn't know why, and together they escorted Huang Feihu back to Chaoge.
Unexpectedly, on the way back, they met Xin Jia and Xin Fu, two Zhou generals, blocking the way. Moreover, he loudly shouted to Chao Tian.
Chao Tian was already in a state of disbelief, but when he saw Zhou Jiang, he blocked the way. He had no choice but to cheer up, rush forward with his horse and ax in hand.
"Bold, I am the great general who has appointed you to protect the saints. Now that we have captured the traitor Huang Feihu, we should return to Chaoge to receive the reward."
"You dare to gang up and block the army privately, and you should be guilty of the same crime as the traitors. If you don't get out of the way, you will return to the court early."
Xin Jia smiled and said, "What ability do you have? How dare you bully others and tell lies. Come, let me measure you."
While talking, the two horses crossed each other. In Chaotian, Xin Jia lived in the same place for a long time. Chao Lei had no choice but to hold a knife and rush forward to help.
Unexpectedly, Xin Mian burst out of the formation. Four people are divided into two teams and fight together!
Think about the Zhou army, after accepting the surrender of Wucheng King Huang Feihu. Defeated Deng Jiugong and the expeditionary army led by Chao Lei. Morale is booming!
What's more, the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty were waiting for work and were lying in ambush here. Xin Jia and Xin Mian were the most powerful generals in the Zhou army, second only to Nangong Shi.
As soon as the four of them fought, dozens of them passed together, and the Chao brothers were invincible. Xin Jia used a flaw to get out of Chao Tian's axe, and grabbed Chao Tian's horse with one hand.
Chao Lei was shocked and knew that he could not resist Xin Fu. When the two horses met, he slapped his horse and rushed diagonally toward the stabbing. He didn't care about his brother or King Wu Cheng. Only when one's own family escapes with one's life can one get down to business.
In my heart, I was secretly complaining. He had already surrendered to Xiqi, but it was my brother who had his own evil thoughts. Think about it, Xiqi City is full of talents, so how can it be so easy to make plans?
No, he has become a lost dog again. I have to escape, no matter which direction it is!
When Xin Jia and Xin Fu saw that they had escaped from Chao Tian, they did not pursue him. After killing the troops led by the Chao brothers and rescuing Wucheng King Huang Feihu, he wanted to return to the city to deliver his orders.
Naturally, Chao Tian, the appointed General of the Blessing Saint, commanded all the way. It was also the trophy of this battle. It was tied up like rice dumplings and dragged on the ground. It was really embarrassing.
Huang Feihu was freed from his bonds and regained his freedom. Facing Xin Jia and Xin Mian, they clasped their fists and said:
"I would like to thank the two generals for their life-saving grace. I won't say much else."
After saying that, before General Xin Jia could speak, Huang Feihu gritted his teeth and said:
"What a shame, Chao Lei. He is so cunning. He actually teamed up with his brother Chao Tian to deceive the general. This tone is really hard to get rid of. Now that he has escaped, trouble will inevitably occur. The general will go to recover this thief personally and hand him over to him. The Prime Minister’s punishment.”
Generals Xin Jia and Xin Min couldn't help but be startled after hearing Fei Hu's words. Then he burst into laughter.
"Why should King Wucheng worry? The actions of the Chao brothers are all planned by my prime minister. I am afraid that General Nangong has captured Chao Lei ahead. We'd better go back to the city and wait for good news!"< br>
Huang Feihu happily agreed and returned to the city with the army.
Let’s talk about Chao Lei, who was running around in a panic, not knowing where to go in the dark. Hearing the shouting of killing behind him, he felt a little tired.
He reined in his horse and let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he still escaped.
Unexpectedly, just as Chao Lei was happy for a while, he suddenly heard a cannon sound in front of him! Under the light of the fire, a group of people blocked the front.
Nangong Shi wore armor and held a knife, shouting at Chao Lei:
"Nangong Shi, a certain family, has been waiting for the general for a long time. No matter how hard you are, you can't escape with your life. If you don't dismount and surrender after seeing me, how long will you wait?"
When Chao Lei saw the Xiqi general who had captured him alive again, he couldn't help but feel ashamed. He reluctantly picked up the long knife and went to fight.
The two horses crossed each other, and after only one close, Nangong Shi captured Chao Lei again and led the victorious division back to the city to pay the order.
……
In Xiqi City, Jiang Ziya and other great Zhou civil and military officials gathered in the main hall. When the sword and ax hands pushed the two brothers Chao Tian and Chao Lei into the hall. With a "pop" sound, Jiang Ziya slammed the long table.
"There is no need to ask any more questions about people who repeat this. Left and right, tell the true story. Behead it in public and give orders to the three armies."
This time, there was no civil or military force to stand up and intercede for the Chao brothers. However, no one begs for mercy. The Chao brothers can still save themselves, right?
Just when the swordsman pushed the Chao brothers out, Chao Lei shouted that he was wronged.
"May I ask for a clear warning from the prime minister, will you be wronged?"
Jiang Ziya snorted coldly, "How can you be wronged by your repeated surrenders and rebellions? Just beheading the two of you is already a great gift. People like you who help the tyrants to abuse and frame their saviors should be destroyed. It’s no exaggeration for you three clans to do so.”
"This is me, King Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the master of benevolence and virtue. The truth is, I can't bear to cause more killings. I just want to behead you two. Come and listen to me and see if you can escape death."
After hearing Jiang Ziya's words, Chao Lei turned around and knelt down on the ground.
"The general surrendered sincerely, but it was just my brother's way of doing it that actually deceived the general. He fell into the disloyalty and injustice of the general. I hope the prime minister will learn from it!"
Jiang Ziya is a disciple of Yuxu's sect. He is considered a Taoist and an immortal. Although, just the truth. However, we also know that the Chao brothers should not die here.
In the Conferred God War, it should be used as a sacrificial formation. After hearing what Chao Lei said, he just followed the trend.
"Well, that's it. I can't blame you for this. Anyway, I might as well believe you for the time being and forgive your brother."
Chao Lei was overjoyed and quickly grabbed Chao Tian who was standing beside him, knelt down and thanked Prime Minister Jiang for not killing him.
Jiang Ziya pondered for a moment before speaking again:
"After this incident, your two family members are still in Chaoge. To ease your two minds, I can let one of you go back. How about leaving one of you as a hostage in Xiqi?"
The Chao brothers barely escaped death, how dare they say no! Therefore, Chao Tian was left behind by Jiang Ziya.
After giving Chao Lei a good explanation in secret, he let Chao Lei leave.
Naturally, for such a big thing, Jiang Ziya had to take the exam to King Wu Boyi. When it comes to the rewards and reorganization of the Zhou army from the great merchants, how can we act carelessly?
After Boyikao listened to Jiang Ziya's report, he spoke slowly.
"The rewards, training, and various future countermeasures for the returned Zhou army will be decided by the Prime Minister at his own discretion. I, the King, will give my full support."
"It's just that Chao Lei's return to Chaoge to move his family may cause trouble. The great merchants still have decades of national destiny, so there are no capable people in the court."
"This Chao Lei left the army privately and returned to Chaoge alone. If someone is able to verify it, if Dan's family cannot take it away, it will be a disaster for the whole family."
Only then did Jiang Ziya reply, leaving it to Chao Lei to speak.
Boyikao is a quasi-sage cultivator and a disciple of Lin Zhu. Naturally, he would not tell Jiang Ziya about the trouble Chao Lei would encounter.
The disciples of the three religions have experienced calamities, and in Chaoge City, all the secret chessmen of each religion are probably active.
Master Lin Zhu only told him not to take action easily, for fear that others would see his base. For the important matter of conferring gods, it is not beautiful.
