Chen Rising Chapter 1 Striking the Capitals: A new force arises
'You're sure?' Cao Cao asked. 'Yes my lord. We have lost all contact with Chang An and the other cities to the west. We simply can't explain it.' Cao frowned. 'Add to that the rumors of an unknown army and it starts to get suspicious.' Zhang Liao said. 'Send out some spies to Chang An. See what they can come up with.' Cao Cao said. Suddenly, Xiahou Dun ran in. 'Lord Cao Cao! We're under attack by an unknown force!' Zhang Liao shook his head. 'I hate it when I'm right.' Cao Cao stood up. 'Ready a defense. Prepare for battle.' Outside the city, an army dressed in black approached. 'I am Zhen Xhu of Chen! Is there not one among you who has the guts to face me in a duel!' Zhen Xhu wore tarnished black armor and had his long, dark hair pulled back in a ponytail. He had black eyes that struck fear into the soldier's hearts. Someone from the Wei army stepped forward. 'I am Cao Sai! Come if you desire death!' Cao Sai wore armor that was similar to Cao Cao's own, but had black instead of purple. He had shoulder length dark hair and piercing green eyes that were unusual to the Chinese. Zhen Xhu then pulled the giant sword off his back. Upon seeing it, many Wei soldiers were awed. Cao Sai heard this and pulled his own sword out. 'I hope your ready to fall prey to my sword Dragon Slayer.' Cao Sai then charged forward. 'Ha! Prepare to die!' The two combatants charged forward and locked swords. The battle raged on, with neither fighter backing down.
'My Lord! We're under attack!' Liu Bei immediately looked up from the chess game he was playing with Zhuge Liang. 'What? By who?' The soldier shook his head. 'I don't know my lord! They came from the North. That much is known. ' Zhuge Liang said. 'If it's not Cao Cao or Sun Quan, then we must have a new aggressor. Send out Zima Shi.' Moments later, Zima Shi and five thousand soldiers were charging forward. Zima Shi wore armor that was similar to Lu Bu's except the armor was green. He had short brown hair and brown eyes. 'In the name of Lord Liu and the Han Dynasty, identify yourself!' He yelled to the troops. 'My name is Zima Shao! And I am the sovereign of the Chen Kingdom! I have come to annihilate you and bring peace to this war torn nation!' Zima Shao wore black armor and had long brown hair. He had fierce Red eyes. Zima Shi stopped for a moment. 'What? Another who shares my family name? Regardless.' He thought. 'My name is Zima Shi! Though we are of the same blood, if you oppose Lord Liu, you shall die!' Zima Shi charged forward. 'Zima Shi? Could it be?' Zima Shao then laughed. 'Then so be it!' Zima Shi then pulled two broadswords from their sheaths. Zima Shao then pulled two katanas out of the two sheaths he had at his sides. Both fighters locked swords, and jumped from their horses. They exchanged blow after blow with neither gaining nor losing ground
'The attack has begun?' Asked Lu Xun. 'Yes. They crept along the Wei borders. It's actually quite amazing they were able to do so.' Lu Meng said. 'Send out Lien Qiao. Let's see what she can do.' Sun Quan said, coming up behind the two. 'Are you sure she is capable my lord? She is still a child.' Said Lu Meng. 'So is Lu Xun but you don't say anything about that.' Sun Quan said. Lu Meng had nothing to counter that. 'So what if I am a child? I can still fight better then an average soldier.' Lien Qiao walked out onto the balcony overlooking Jian Ye. Lien Qiao wore a white Kimono with sakura blossoms on it. She had black hair in two short ponytails. In her ponytails were two sakura blossoms. 'And besides, I'm interested in finding out who this is threatening us. It's not Shu or Wei.' She said. 'So you will fight them?' Sun Quan asked. 'Yes. And I shall win my lord.' She bowed to them and left. As she made her way to the stables, someone ran after her. 'Lien Qiao!' She turned and saw it was Lu Xun. 'Are you sure about this?' he asked. 'As I said before, I am. It's time I repay Lord Sun Jian for raising me.' Lu Xun had always admired her for that. That determination of hers. Once she set out to do something, nothing could stop her, save for Sun Jian. However, because he had died, nothing could stop her. 'I see. Then I wish you good luck lady Qiao.' Lu Xun said. She bowed, then departed. Leading the Wu army, Lien Qiao marched to meet the Invaders. 'I am Zhen Juan! Princess of Chen! Who dares to fight me?' Zhen Juan wore a short, silver Chinese cheongsam with flowers on it. She had red lipstick on and had long black hair. 'I, Lien Qiao shall fight you!' Zhen Juan looked at her and laughed. 'A child? Like you?' Zhen Juan pulled out two short swords and rode towards the Wu lines. 'Yes, a child like me!' Lien Qiao responded. She took her fans out and dashed forward. When they engaged in combat, they each traded offence and defense every few minutes.
At Cheng Du, the battle between Zima Shi and Zima Shao raged on. They each were panting heavily and were fatigued. Zima Shi then charged towards Zima Shao. 'Now you die!' Zima Shao charged towards Zima Shi with his swords out to the sides. They each made a slash when they passed each other. They stood there, and after a few seconds, Shao fell. He then got up, clutching the wound in his side. 'You've won this round, but next time, I'll defeat you! Retreat!' The Chen army began to retreat. 'Now is our chance! Attack!' The men began to charge, but were stopped by Zima Shi. 'Never mind them.' One of the soldiers said 'But sir! We have them on the run!' Zima Shi laughed. 'Yes, but what good is a general if he's dead?' So saying, Zima Shi collapsed, and the soldiers saw that he had taken a wound in the final attack. 'Someone get Lord Zima to the infirmary!' Several soldiers rushed forward and carried Zima Shi back into Cheng Du.
'The attack on Shu failed?' Zhen Xhu yelled. 'Yes sir. We have orders to retreat back to Chang An.' The soldier said. Zhen Xhu turned back to Cao Sai. 'It appears we shall have to finish our fight another time. Until then, don't get killed by someone stronger.' Suddenly, a cloud of smoke came out of no where. The Wei troops all were to surprised by this to pursue. When the smoke cleared, the soldiers from Chen were gone. 'Damn! Find them!' Cao Sai said. 'Sir! We've be given orders by Lord Cao Cao not to pursue.' Cao Sai looked at the soldier. 'Fine. All troops return to the city.
'Lord Zima Shao lost?' Zhen Juan was shocked. 'Yes ma'am. We have been ordered to retreat.' She turned to Lien Qiao. 'It seems as though the circumstances are against me. So for now I must retreat. Until then don't lose.' Zhen Juan then threw something at the ground. It caused a flash the blinded the Wu troops. When they could see again, the Chen troops were gone. 'Where'd they go?' Lien Qiao asked. 'Lady Qiao, we've been ordered to return to Jian Ye.' A soldier said 'All right.'
'DAMN! HOW COULD I LOSE?' Zhen Xhu and Zhen Juan shuddered. When their leader was in a rage, nothing was safe. Zima Shao kept pacing the throne room. 'If we're going to succeed, then we're going to need a bigger army. Zhen Xhu! I'm leaving you in charge of recruitment.' Zima Shao said. 'Yes my Lord.' Zhen Xhu replied. 'It will only be a matter of time before the rest of China is in our hands. You are dismissed.'
