Chapter 582: Decomposition (Part 1)


    Chapter 580: Decomposition (Part 1)


    After a fierce debate, the end agreed and overwhelmed the opposition.


    After determining the pursuit policy, Lu Zhi personally led 30,000 troops under his command to pursue, while Li Shimin led 20,000 troops to assist.


    But no one expected that Lu Zhi, a veteran on Zhong battlefield, was ambushed by Zhang Liang after leading the army less than fifty miles away from Hulao Pass.


    Zhang Liang had long guessed that the Han army would come to chase him, so he set up an ambush on the way to Yanzhou in advance. He did not expect to annihilate the enemy in full, but just waited for the enemy''s front army to enter the ambush circle and fired thousands of arrows at the same time.


    As a veteran on the battlefield, how could Lu Zhi not know that the Ming army might set up an ambush? But he didn''t expect that Zhang Liang would set up an ambush so close to Hulao Pass, and he was killed and suffered heavy casualties.


    Fortunately, Li Shimin of the rear army arrived in time, not only broke the ambush, but also rescued the seriously injured Lu Zhi.


    Looking at Lu Zhi lying on the stretcher, Li Shimin clasped his fists and said with a serious face: "Sir, please rest assured to heal your wounds. Leave the pursuit to the last general."


    Looking at this handsome and energetic face, Lu Zhi felt extremely complicated.


    Really old.


    Lu Zhi thought bitterly in his heart that even if he was not convinced of his old age, he had to admit that the young generation of heroes emerged.


    The world belongs to young people after all, but unfortunately how many people are sincerely loyal to the great man?


    As soon as he thought of this, Lu Zhi couldn''t help but feel a little discouraged. The princes in the world were all in charge of their own affairs, and there were very few loyal Han people, and Sizhou, which the emperor gave him, could not be defended.


    If it weren''t for the forced force in Liangzhou, how could Lu Zhi take the risk of chasing the tiger to shake the mountain? Unfortunately, the tiger did not shake but became Li Shimin''s force.


    Now that Lu Zhi''s strength has been weakened again, the Liangzhou group has become a major trend in Sizhou. Dong Zhuo will be the two states of Liangsi, and the overlords of the princes are about to be born, and even the court cannot stop it.


    Sizhou was taken away by Liang Shi a little bit by bit in his own hands. Lu Zhi was both unwilling and helpless, but he really tried his best, but he was weak.


    Seeing that Li Shimin was about to leave, Lu Zhi grabbed his arm, stared at his eyes, and said word by word: "Li Shimin, let me ask you, is the great man you are loyal to or Dong Zhongying?"


    Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, then showed a bright smile and said, "What Shimin is loyal to the people of the world."


    "you…"


    Lu Zhi''s eyes were fixed. Of course, he knew what Li Shimin meant. He said he was loyal to the world, but in fact he was loyal to himself. However, Li Shimin''s words were free from leaks, and Lu Zhi could not find any flaws to take advantage of the problem.


    Another hero!


    "Forget it, forget it, you go."


    Lu Zhi let go of Li Shimin''s hand weakly. There are many heroes in the world, and Li Shimin is not short of him. He was a dying old man who was unable to intervene.


    Li Shimin''s eyes lit up and he bowed with his fists, "Thank you, sir."


    After leading the army to break the two ambushes of the Ming army, Li Shimin did not continue to pursue, and then stopped when he saw the best, because the bigger show was still behind.


    In October of the third year of Zhongping, a rumor spread throughout the Central Plains, and Emperor Ming Zhang Sheng was a woman.


    This rumor flowed out inexplicably, but it exploded in the Central Plains like thunder, and spread throughout the Thirteen States at an extremely abnormal speed. Is Emperor Ming a woman?


    How is this possible?


    Zhang Sheng and Zhang Jiao’s identity is recognized by many parties. Do you think it is a woman or a woman?


    Don’t say that men don’t believe it, even women don’t believe it.


    In this era when men are superior to women, it is too fantasy to be emperors, and people with some judgment basically do not believe it.


    But the following few messages wavered the unbelievers.


    Rumors say that Zhang Sheng is actually the Saint of Taiping Dongfang Sheng. As soon as Zhang Sheng appeared, the Empress Dongfang Sheng disappeared inexplicably. Isn’t this very strange?


    Zhang Sheng is as handsome as a demon. Since ancient times, beautiful men are like Song Yu and Pan An, but they are less than one-tenth of Zhang Sheng. Can men be so beautiful?


    Of course, the most important point is that Zhang Sheng has not chosen a concubine so far, and he has not been sent to him to any woman, except for his younger sister Zhang Ning.


    Let me ask, except for the man who is good to Longyang, which man would not like women? Unless that''s a woman!


    Also, even if you have the favor of Long Yang, since you are the emperor, even if you are for the country and the people, you should reproduce your descendants!


    Zhang Sheng was not at the point of being exposed, and the source of her identity was to take care of her concubines. She thought that she would be supported by everyone by staying away from women and being diligent in love with the people, but she did not expect that she would become the source of cholera.


    After all, it is not a sin for the emperor to be lustful. It is to create people for the country. No matter how hard or tired he is, he will have to do so. Zhang Sheng did not realize this, and Li Shimin used it to catch the flaw.


    In summary, the three major points, coupled with the surrendered coach Qu, such as Zhang Shicheng, all stood up and insisted that Zhang Jiao had no son, which made Zhang Sheng''s gender issue a little confusing.


    Many people are doubting whether Zhang Sheng is a man or a woman, and this doubt also caused the gradual stable national trend of the Ming Dynasty to turmoil again. After all, most people cannot accept being ruled by a woman.


    Of course, the team left by Zhang Jiao is still very loyal. They are occupied by the eighth floor of the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming Dynasty''s top leaders are still stable in the short term, while most of the turbulent ones are middle and bottom.


    Even the middle and lower levels believe in Zhang Sheng. After all, during her reign, she was gradually reversing the decline of the Ming Dynasty, and her national strength gradually flourished.


    In addition, Zhang Sheng went to the battlefield in person, both civil and military, and looked like a wise ruler, so most of the middle and lower classes supported him.


    They thought this was the trick of the Han army. The Han Dynasty wanted to break the rising national trend of the Ming Dynasty so that the Ming Dynasty would start to chaos by itself, so they hoped that the emperor could stand up and explain, and not be splashed with water.


    But Zhang Sheng has never come forward to explain, just like a rumor that has been accused of, which has gradually intensified the turmoil in the Ming Dynasty.


    Qingzhou, Qi State, in the Governor''s Office.


    After reading the information in his hand, Huang Chao looked up at the galaxy in the sky and said nothing for a long time.


    "Great teacher, why would you rather believe her as a little girl than believe me Huang Chao?"


    The past came into Huang Chao''s mind one by one. Zhang Jiao''s unreserved trust and his own three strategies to destroy the Han Dynasty were also how energetic he was at that time.


    Until he was defeated by Qin Hao in Kaifeng, Huang Chao completely lost to Xiang Yu in the battle for his successors.


    Thinking of this, Huang Chao couldn''t help but smile bitterly: "No, the good teacher gave me a chance. I lost the bet myself. I lost to Qin Hao, and I can''t blame others. But what if Xiang Yu, I win? In the end, I lost nothing."


    Huang Chao saw Zhang Sheng’s efforts during this period, but he could not get Huang Chao’s loyalty because except Zhang Jiao, Huang Chao would not be loyal to anyone.


    "Little girl, I am repaying the kindness of great wise men and good teachers, and I do not agree with you and your Ming Kingdom."


    The next day, Huang Chao stood up to refute the rumors, acknowledged the identity of Zhang Sheng and Zhang Jiao''s son, and announced his swearing to support the orthodox Ming Dynasty.
