Through Time Chapter 491

After sending Fan Zeng away, Chen Sheng was full of joy at this time and said to Zhao Lang.

“Chief, the supplies we have this time are not just enough for winter, they are barely enough until next summer!”

But Zhao Lang shook his head and said.

“It’s fine for the winter, but not enough for the summer.”

“There will be farmers coming in after that, so the more supplies the better.”

And Zhao Lang remembered from before that Xiang would find the opportunity to fight the Qin army in spring and summer.

He didn’t have that much time left either.

Chen Sheng nodded, but said with a few doubts that

“Just, chief, do you really want to leave Yun Meng Ze?”

Zhao Lang smiled and nodded his head.

“That old thing paid five times the price just to grasp the drive out, and if I didn’t leave, he wouldn’t have sent all the supplies over.”

“So when his first batch of supplies arrives, I’ll go.”

“By the way, as agreed, we’re going to ask him to recruit some farmers here.”

“Remember to arrange for some people to go in.”

They had taken the other side’s money, so naturally they had to pay something for it.

When Chen Sheng nodded, Zhao Lang continued to say that

“And send another messenger to the King of Chu, and say that we are still close to him.”

“We still want his money and supplies, too.”

A mosquito is still meat.

Hearing these words, Chen Sheng froze straight away and

“Chief, aren’t we…”

Zhao Lang said, without even blushing a little.

“The most important thing to do is to be fair, don’t favour one over the other.”

“After taking the other party’s money, we will send a group of our farmers to the other party for him to feed, so we can save a little.”

Looking at Zhao Lang, who had lived his life with careful calculation, Chen Sheng had nothing more to say.

Peng Yue at the side had also been dumbfounded long ago.

It was only after a while that Chen Sheng asked, numbly

“But, chief, where are you going when you leave Yun Meng Ze?”

Zhao Lang gave a laugh and said that

“To King Han’s place.”

His control over there was not yet strong, and he just happened to go through this time to strengthen it a little.

Soon, after Zhao Lang had finished instructing these things, he left.

Chen Sheng was still a little dazed, when Peng Yue, who was on the side, lamented that

“With the chief in charge, the Nongjia will certainly prosper greatly!”

He was somewhat glad that he had submitted to the Nong Clan once the Nong Clan’s Holy Maiden had arrived.

Otherwise, if he had waited for Zhao Lang to clean him up, he probably wouldn’t even have any bone scraps left.

Chen Sheng also nodded woodenly.

They had all seen what had just happened.

As far as Fan Zeng and the others were concerned, they were still a realm away from their own leader.

A few days later, Xiang’s first supplies arrived.

Looking at the grain and cloth that continued before him, Zhao Lang clacked his lips and said that

“These people are quite quick, I guess they are called from the surrounding nobles of Chu.”

“Good, Chen Sheng, I’ll leave the matter of Yun Meng Ze to you, since there are enough supplies now, don’t be stingy, at the beginning of next spring, I want five thousand elites!”

Yun Meng Ze originally had three thousand elites, by next spring, it would not be a big problem to gather five thousand men.

Chen Sheng received his orders and answered.

Soon after, Zhao Lang once again led his men out of Yun Meng Ze.

By now, it was already getting cooler in autumn, and as the group walked along the road in late autumn, it was inevitable that there was a somewhat sluggish feeling.

And just the moment Zhao Lang appeared on the road.

A scout saw them and sped away.

Soon, Fan Zeng and the others, who had not yet gone far, received the news.

“Sir, Zhao Lang and the others have been driven out of Yun Meng Ze by the Nong family!”

Xiang Zhuang said with a few moments of surprise as he looked at the information sent back by his spies.

They had of course left their men watching.

Fan Zeng nodded blandly and

“It seems that these peasants have kept their word, and I had thought that Zhao Lang would still delay for some time.”

“But this is good, Zhao Lang’s return to Qi is now impossible, he can only go to Han.”

“Xiang Zhuang, send a letter to Han Wang Xin, tell him to send a message to Han Wang Cheng, saying that Zhao Lang has broken with the Nong family and his strength has been greatly reduced!”

“Old man, make a good attempt to divide between them!”

Xiang Zhuang said with utmost admiration that

“Sir is highly intelligent!”

Just from the results he has gotten now, he must not even find the five times more expensive supplies now, and even wants to give a little more.

With a slightly smug nod, Fan Zeng continued.

“But we must not be rash!”

“Zhao Lang is hypocritical and cunning, and his men are still extremely loyal to him.”

“He has left two of his men in Qi land, and I will divorce them one by one!”

“Send a message to the King of Chu, use his name and make it known to the world that after next spring, whoever can lead an army into Guanzhong will be able to claim the throne!”

Hearing these words, Xiang Zhuang’s eyes snapped open.

This ploy was almost tailor-made for Xiang!

By claiming the throne now, he was basically the original King of the Six Kingdoms.

There were some forces that claimed the throne without permission, and they were largely eliminated.

And with this order, then, after Xiang had fought his way into Guanzhong, it was almost a no-brainer to claim the throne!

If Zhao Lang’s men who had remained in Qi land became ambitious and followed Xiang into Guanzhong and then claimed the throne.

Then, would the other side still listen to find Zhao Lang’s orders?

This would simply break Zhao Lang’s back!

Xiang Zhuang couldn’t help but admire Fan Zeng at this time.

In just these short tens of days, he had struck Zhao Lang on almost all fronts!

“Sir is simply the Jiang Tai Gong of my Xiang Clan!”

Xiang Zhuang flattered.

Fan Zeng nodded with satisfaction, this was a compliment to both sides, and said with a smile that

“Well, General Xiang has been honoured by the state, go and deliver the letter first.”

Xiang Zhuang responded with a salute before leaving in an extremely obedient manner.

Within a short time, the messenger was heading in the direction of Han Wangxin, speeding away.

A few days later, in front of Han Wangcheng’s stately home.

Han Cheng looked at Han Wangxin, who had come with his men, and said, frowning

“What are you doing here with your men? My king’s current manpower is not afraid of you!”

Han Wangxin said with a bit of smugness at this time.

“Han Cheng, it seems you haven’t got the news yet, so this king will tell you.”

“King Zhao he has now broken with the Nong family!”

“Your reliance, is gone!”

Han Wangxin’s heart was now full of indescribable joy, and when he received Xiang’s notice today, he impatiently brought his men to Han Cheng’s place.

He had to know that only a short while ago, Zhao Lang had taken away half of his peasants in the name of the Sage of the Peasant Family.

But now, Zhao Lang had been driven out of Yun Meng Ze by the Nong Clan, what a pleasure that was!

He had deliberately come to find Han Cheng today!

To see the other side’s face!

Sure enough, he quickly saw Han Cheng’s stunned, incredulous face as he said that

“What did you say?!”

Han Wangxin laughed out loud and

“You didn’t hear me clearly, so I’ll say it again with you, the King of Zhao, has broken with the Nong family!”

“Now the King is giving you a chance to submit to him with your money and men!”

Han Cheng seemed to come back to his senses at this time and said, with a red face

“Get lost!”

Han Wangxin was not angry, and said with a smile that

“My king’s promise stands, you can come to me anytime!”

After saying that, he left with a big smile.

Han Cheng looked at the other party’s back as he left, like he was looking at a fool.
