C32 (1/2)
Liu Ji who was born a commoner, was tricked by Xiao Hee and Cao Can. He turned the tables and started to attack the prefectural city. The reason why Xiao Hee and Cao Can were doing this was because they believed that their two subordinates already had thoughts of rebelling. Even if they were not killed, their career as an official in the future would also come to an end. On the other hand, Liu Ji himself had nothing to do with this matter, and was fooled into being the leader of the rebels.
Liu Ji led a few hundred motley men to attack the city. Because he had not yet begun the fighting, the people of the Pei-Prefecture had already killed off the envoys and offered them up to the city. Before this, even though Liu Ji avoided the peons because he let go of the peons, because of his good popularity, the officials did not chase after him. But now, Liu Ji could not turn back, he was already on the path of a fugitive, just like the heroes of the Empire who had rebelled against him.
Furthermore, even after Liu Ji got his hands on the Pei County, he never thought that he would be able to go far in the future. Like the other heroes who had rebelled against him, he did not have any lofty goals, but instead rebelled against him. It was just that in this chaotic world, they had obtained a bit of benefits. Even an emperor wouldn't dare to think too much about it, much less chase after the deer and the world. As Liu Ji was not very famous, only Xiao Hee, Cao Can Fan Kui and Zhou Kui were around. Even the Qin soldiers did not put his troops in their eyes. On the contrary, he had been beaten badly when his comrades from the other armed uprisings were fighting for their territory.
Before Liu Ji rebelled, Xiang Liang had rebelled. In Wu Zhong, like the other rebels, they had first killed the local county governor, then Xiang Liang had appointed himself as the gatekeeper. Different from Liu Ji, Xiang Liang had already planned this day for many years. He had secretly brought up many people, and his power expanded very quickly. Thus, after the Qin State's army defeated Chen Li, all their gazes were focused on Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu.
These two uncles were what Wei Liao considered to be the world's common lords.
was not the only one. There were many other Grandmasters that were not used by the Qin Dynasty, and Fann Zeng was one of them. When Xiang Liang started, Fann Zeng went over to them. Fann Zeng was also a member of the Yin-Yang Family at the time and was well versed in military strategies. As for whether he had any connections with Wei Liao in any sects, it was truly impossible to verify. He could only evaluate Fann Zeng this way: He was a figure that was on par with Wei Liao, but in the end, he was still defeated by Wei Liao's successor, Chen Ping.
Fann Zeng was the first opponent that Chen Ping would find hard to defeat. The contest between them was a battle between Underworld Warfare s. Underworld Warfare — which was also what the future generations would call a dark battle! Wars of ghosts and witchcraft! a form of war that is never recognized by a militarist.
Chen Ping was good at Underworld Warfare, and unfortunately, Fann Zeng was good at Underworld Warfare too.
Chen Ping's battle with Fann Zeng's Underworld Warfare s would continue throughout the next few years along with the battle between Liu Ji and Xiang Yu. After the event, they would talk about it in detail. The reason why they had brought it up now was to tell everyone that Fann Zeng was an extremely powerful Yin Yang Family.
Right now, Xiang Liangwen had Fann Zeng as a scheming grandmaster, Xiang Yu as a martial genius, and a large group of tyrants. It was impossible for them not to become the strongest resistance against Qin Yun.
As for Liu Ji, other than a bunch of brothers and sisters from the Pei Prefecture, all of them were unknown and of lowly origin, not a single one of them was a descendant of an aristocratic family. In this chaotic world, it was not even worth noticing, even Zhang Han of the Qin Dynasty did not realize that Liu Ji's equipment would be his.
The world was in chaos, the inheritors that Wei Liao and Wei Zhe had found were going to appear.
Zhang Liang had already started to move, he already had the intention to overthrow the Qin Dynasty and restore Korea. Just like Liu Ji and Xiang Liang, he had also formed a team to publicly oppose Qin. However, what Zhang Liang did not understand was that the art that Wei Zhe had taught him, the《 Supreme Force Book》, was not emperor's technique. In a situation where Zhang Liang didn't have a powerful leader to assist him, his equipment was even more difficult to equip than Liu Ji's. However, he had already realized his own difficult situation, so Zhang Liang led his team and prepared to surrender to another rebel, Jing Ma. Who would have thought that on the road to surrender, Zhang Liang would meet Liu Ji, who was similarly anxious and scattered everywhere, hoping to expand his area of influence. After meeting Liu Ji, Zhang Liang gave up on the thought of joining Jing Ma, and instead handed his men over to Liu Ji. From then on, Zhang Liang would no longer lead his own army, and would become a thorough staff officer, a true Zang Heng family.
Han Xin was even younger than him, and had always been looked down upon. He was poor and could only fish by the river for a living, and relying on the pavilion manager's house for food and chess was not a long-term solution. When he was at his most distressed, the old woman by the river who was washing clothes saw this pitiful youngster. He brought him some food to eat and barely did not starve to death.
But Han Xin had been carrying that long sword all along, this long sword was the belief that he was able to live on, its scabbard was gifted to him by the Grand Commandant of the Qin Dynasty, this ancestral long sword was the only proof of his noble identity, but Han Xin wanted to prove that he was not wrong, he must be the War God that was able to rule the world.
This long sword brought Han Xin a lot of trouble, and became the laughing stock of ordinary people. Having been humiliated countless times, Han Xin was no longer numb to it. Even if it were to crawl into someone's crotch, Han Xin could only silently endure it. He was waiting for the day when he could pull the long sword out of its scabbard and lead his army to sweep the world.
