Deng Cui's combat style is just a fast word, and he has no advance arrangements, nor does he send scouts to the front to inquire about the situation. He takes the lead and goes wherever he says.

The soldiers are very fast, and he did. When attacking the first city, the other party didn't even have time to close the city gate. The soldiers and the people watched a strange army break in, and without saying a word, surrendered immediately.

The gods and ghosts did not trust foreigners. Every time they captured a city, they would inevitably kill or recruit most of the middle-aged men, and then send their own people to lead soldiers from other places to guard them.

They were at least a thousand miles away from their hometown, and their language and customs were not in agreement. The soldiers guarding the city were always nervous and alert to the local natives. They basically did not collude with each other, but the number was too small and they had no fighting spirit. They were more than enough to deal with the people. When they saw the army, they immediately put down their weapons.

Deng Cui never stayed in a city for a long time, at most three days, or at least one day. He usually killed the city guard officials appointed by the gods and ghosts, appointed local nobles, and then collected some food, horses, and brought the city guard soldiers, claiming to send them home, but in fact he was incorporated into the army.

After leaving the city, Deng Cui said that he wanted to continue moving westward, and maybe he would suddenly change direction and attack the next city without any defense.

General Guan Song had known Deng Cui for a long time, but he had never accepted his command. He went deeper into the enemy area for the first time and went further and further away. He couldn't help but be frightened. The Chu soldiers in the army were also frightened, but there was no way. They didn't even recognize the way home, so they could only follow Deng Cui to rush around.

Deng Cui recognized the way. He had traveled in this area long before the war. When he went to many places for the first time, he collected a large number of maps, but he did not keep a single one, and all directions and locations were hidden in his heart.

About a month later, the Chu army captured Shenye City, which was also the first big city. The other party was prepared to close the city gates and prepare to defend the enemy. They also mobilized soldiers from the surrounding cities to fight the Chu army to a decisive battle.

Deng Cui never fought decisively, thinking that it would waste his few troops under his command. After half a day of surround, he roared and left. Then he sent a small team of soldiers who had surrendered before and entered Shenye City as reinforcements. He took action at midnight to open the city gate for the Chu army that had returned.

After capturing the city, Deng Cui immediately closed the city gate halfway and did not allow anyone to go out. For three consecutive days, he welcomed batches of enemy reinforcements, all detained them, and then killed dozens of gods, ghosts, and great Shanyu's fellow tribes in public, hung their heads at the city gates everywhere, proclaiming that the city was owned by the Great Chu, and the new city guardian would be called county magistrates.

In Shenye City, the Chu army accidentally rescued several Chu people.

The royal relative Han Xi took the envoy to the West a few years ago and was imprisoned in Shenye City. The reason why he was not killed was because the gods and ghosts were busy with wars. He did not expect these people to be the first to be killed.

Although he was imprisoned, Han Xi's life was not too bad. He had an independent residence, served by a servant, and even married a local wife.

But he did not forget his mission. After seeing Deng Cui, he immediately asked: "What are the plans of the general?"

"Yeah, go to the beach to have a look."

Han Xi chatted for a while and finally realized that Deng Cui had no clear plan at all. Going west, Deng Cui didn't recognize the way and planned to head south, thinking that he could always reach the beach.

So Han Xi provided a plan, "The Great Shanyu of Gods and Ghosts have three capitals, one in the northwest, and it is his hometown. He is guarded by heavy troops and has few generals. He can't get any benefits when going there. Moreover, the location is remote and it is useless to occupy it. The second one is located in the west, more than 3,000 miles away. It is a famous city for the Great Shanyu of Gods and Ghosts. It is laid there. If it is captured, it will surely shake all directions. The third one is located in the southwest, near the sea, and was originally a big harbor. The Great Shanyu of Gods and Ghosts ordered the destruction of ships, and it became a stronghold and there were many troops stationed."

"Go to the southwest." Deng Cui became interested when he heard that he was leaning against the sea.

"The road to go there is the farthest. Even if you are lucky enough to seize it, it will not shake the foundation of the gods, ghosts, and great Shanyu."

"Have you ever played the game of kicking a tree?"

Han Xi was stunned, "What do you mean by General?"

"It's just when it rains or snows, when you see someone standing under a tree, you quietly run over and kick it, scaring the person. It's quite fun."

Han Xi was speechless, but he still didn't understand what Deng Cui meant.

Deng Cui didn't explain much, and patted his shoulder, "Since you recognize the way, follow me, let's talk about it in detail on the way."

Deng Cui led his army to continue to rush left and right, running west and south for a while, so that both the enemy and us could not guess his ultimate goal, and only knew that it was either west or south.

The West was shocked, and the enemy finally formed an army of tens of thousands of people, claiming to be 200,000. On the way west and south, blocking the Chu army and fighting to the death.

At this time, tens of thousands of soldiers had gathered under Deng Cui's command, claiming to be 100,000, and made a decisive battle. However, at the last moment, he changed direction and rushed to the hometown of the gods and ghosts, the great Shanyu, from a long distance.

On the way, Deng Cui explained his plan to Han Xi, "Our army has few soldiers and is scattered and will be defeated once it is defeated, so we cannot fight. You said that there are heavy troops in the hometown of gods and ghosts, and I guess this heavy army must have gone south to support other cities. Let's go around and it will be just enough to fight the empty space."

"General guess?"

"Isn't it just that you guess me, I guess you? The soldiers are never tired of cheating, the one who guesses the right one wins, the one who guesses the wrong one is finished. Thousands of Chu soldiers penetrated deep into the enemy's territory, and what else can they do besides kicking off some rain and snowflakes? If you want to do it, do it hard, and you must scare the gods and ghosts and great Shanyu so that they can scatter their souls. Then we can go back to the Great Chu to seek credit from His Majesty."

In front of Deng Cui, Han Xi and others were only stunned.

"Oh, I don't know if my sister gave birth to a prince. I still hope that my nephew can become the emperor in the future."

The soldiers were worried, but they had no other choice except to follow General Deng to gallop.

Deng Cui guessed it right.

The Chu army has always used the strategy of vocalizing east and attacking west, and the enemy has long been accustomed to it. When they found that the Chu army went north, they still thought it was a strategy to lure the enemy, so they did not chase it with all their might. The heavy troops left by the gods and ghosts in their hometown also went south as planned, preparing to encircle the Chu army and then regain the lost land.

The two armies heading north and south passed by. The nearest time was only a few dozen miles apart, but they didn't know each other. Deng Cui still did not send scouts to inquire about the news in advance, but only believed in his own "guessment".

"The city is shocked, and normal people will send heavy troops to suppress it, so we will respond with an abnormal way." Deng Cui would occasionally explain a few more words, but he could not calm the soldiers under his command.

In the end, what convinced everyone of Deng Cui was a big victory.

The Chu army captured the hometown of the gods and ghosts and Da Shanyu and set fire to all the things that could be burned. The soldiers of various countries in the army had been bullied for a long time and were deeply hated. After obtaining the acquiescence of the Chu army, they carried out many massacres, killing and killing all the tribe members left by the gods and ghosts and Da Shanyu in the rear.

Only a very small number of people survived.

Deng Cui left behind a beautiful girl. Although this woman had no noble name, she was said to be the one she loved the most by the gods and ghosts. Because she was occasionally infected with the cold wind, she did not go to the east with the army, and ended up falling into the hands of General Chu.

The day when Meiji was brought to the army, Han Xi made a special trip to persuade him.

Deng Cui smiled and said, "After entering the countryside, the gods and ghosts, the great Shanyu of the gods and ghosts, would marry the daughter of a local nobleman, so this woman was not a local, but also a poor person who was taken away. And did Lord Han also marry a local woman? Whoever you like in the city can leave."

Han Xi could not persuade Deng Cui, but did not ask for any beautiful women, urging the Chu army not to participate in the massacre and robbery. As for the soldiers from other countries, he could not control it and did not want to.

Although the army did not fight hard battles, it gained a lot, and the shock to the Western cities was endless. Rebellions broke out one after another, expelling outsiders and responding to the Chu army.

Deng Cui led his army south again and met an enemy army by a long river. At this time, the troops of both sides were almost the same. He did not avoid the battle anymore and asked Guan Song to arrange troops to set up a formation, which really would fight a tough battle.

On the battlefield, Deng Cui was nothing surprising, and he relied on his own abilities. Needless to say, the Chu army would have lost this battle, and they would not even have a place to escape. The soldiers of other countries had just massacred the tribesmen of the gods and ghosts, and seized a large number of beauties and treasures, and there was no way out to retreat.

The battle lasted for a whole day, and the enemy was defeated at night.

Deng Cui didn't even supervise the battle at the time of the battle, hid in a tent and learned her own language from Meiji. When the news of victory came, he only replied "I know" and still refused to come out to meet the generals.

Deng Cui is such a person. His soldiers all doubted his abilities, but they were in awe. He thought he was the pride of heaven. He could pick things he had to do with all his efforts and hard work. Sometimes he didn't like to pick them up.

But the good luck of "the pride of heaven" will also be used up.

What happened next was a mystery, and many years later it was still a strange thing that many people would never forget.

General Deng Cui was assassinated.

No one knew why. When Meiji was taken, she did not show any refusal or disgust. She seemed to be a little happy. She was inseparable from Deng Cui along the way, but on the night of the victory, she killed the person next to her pillow.

No one knew what happened. The next morning, the soldiers came to invite Deng Cui, but they didn't get a response several times. Finally, they felt something was wrong and broke into the tent. Deng Cui was lying in a pool of blood, his whole body was stained with red.

Meiji held the dagger and shivered on one side.

The angry soldiers chopped Meiji into meat paste on the spot, but were still worried and killed all the women who were plundered from the camp without leaving any one.

Only later did someone ask whether the person who killed General Deng was Meiji? Maybe she was just frightened, and the murderer had someone else.

The soldiers in the army immediately became suspicious of each other.

The good situation was gone, and Han Xi was the royal relative and became the commander of the Chu army. After careful consideration, he felt that he was incompetent in command of everyone, and he was not able to go south. After discussing with the Chu army soldiers, he decided to retreat to the Great Chu, and declared to the outside world that he wanted to fight eastward.

The soldiers of various countries split into multiple armies, each with their own ideas, but without exception, they all under the banner of Da Chu and Deng Cui.

Deng Cui's heart was taken out and taken away by the Chu army, and his body was handed over to an alien army. They wanted to go south and fulfill General Deng's wish to see the sea.

Han Xi was a literati and would remember things on the way. He planned to present them to the emperor after returning to China. However, when it comes to General Deng Cui, he could not describe it. He picked up his pen several times and put it down several times. Until he entered Huju City and had a little peace, he finally wrote a few words:

General Deng is an extraordinary person. (To be continued.).
