Looking at the back of Chen Ba leaving first, a trace of killing intent flashed in Cai Jing's eyes, but he was quickly pressed down.

These people have been traitors twice, betrayed Gongsun Xuanyuan and took refuge in Gongsun Shu, and betrayed Gongsun Shu and took refuge in Chen Baxian, and their reputation is already very stinky.

Although Cai Jing doesn't care about reputation, he cares about his own life and the survival of his family, and if he betrays his master for the third time, won't they become the slaves of the four surnames?

Then what other princes will dare to accept them in the future?

In addition to this, the reason why Cai Jing let Chen Baxian go was mainly because he needed to resist the infamy of being a vassal to the Manchus.

Since the beginning of the troubled times, although the Han Dynasty quickly fell apart, and fell into infighting and frequent wars, it has not suffered losses in the war against foreign races.

Qin Wen occupied the Hetao, Liu Xiu conquered Jingnan Shanyue, Liu Ji and Liu Yu repelled the Southern Barbarian King Chiyou, Li Shimin Yang Guang Ma Teng Han Sui directly exterminated the Qiang people, and Qin Hao was even more awesome and directly killed the grassland overlord Yuan Emperor Temujin.

So far, there have been no princes all the way, who have been cowardly in front of foreign races, and they are all frontal and hard until they beat the other party to convince them.

If Chen Guo was the first prince to be a vassal to a foreign nation, it is conceivable that he would definitely be nailed to the frame of shame and spurned by the people who went there, thus leaving a stench for 10,000 years.

In addition to his own rejection of foreign races, Chen Baxian also knew this because he strongly opposed the submission of ministers to the Manchus.

Cai Jing and the others also know this, so they need a tool man to resist the infamy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for them, so it has nothing to do with them.

The reason why Cai Jing, Gao Yu, Zhang Bangchang and others would rather be traitors and join the Manchus was mainly because of the Qin army's policy towards the family.

Although the families in other states are also powerful, they are far from the level of controlling the locality, but the Chen State is different, and the entire country is controlled by the family.

The land of Chen has experienced four princes, Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Xuanyuan, Gongsun Shu, and Chen Baxian, and the national strength is getting weaker and weaker, but the family has become stronger and stronger.

Today, the nine families of Cai, Gao, Zhang, Zhao, Tong, Wang, Liang, Zhu, and Li basically control all aspects of the economy, land, and politics of the Chen State, and are completely the soil emperors of the Chen State.

Chen Baxian is the Chen King of the Chen State on the surface, but he can't control the local counties at all, he, the Chen King, is just a product of the balance of multi-party operations, but more like an alliance leader.

Although the harshness of Qin Jun's policy towards the family was far less harsh than that of Zhu Ming, it was still difficult to accept in the eyes of the nine major families.

Therefore, once the Qin army occupied the state of Chen, the local families would not only lose tangible benefits such as land, tenant farmers, and slaves, but also have more intangible power.

In short, what they are going to lose is much more than the Hebei family.

And after losing these, what is the difference between these high-ranking families and those lowly commoners?

The Chen family was afraid that the Qin army would occupy Youzhou and damage their interests, but before the Qin army's military strength, it was not something that they could shake.

At present, the Qin army is in Hebei like a bamboo, Jizhou and Qingbei have all been occupied, and then it will be Youzhou's turn.

With the local forces of Youzhou, even if they are united, if they want to resist the Qin army that owns several states, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is impossible.

Realizing that Youzhou would fall sooner or later, and once the Qin army occupied Youzhou, their families would also fall from the clouds to the dust, which made Chen Guoshi begin to panic.

After enjoying the status of the emperor of the soil, it was naturally difficult for the Chen family to accept the return to their original status, and at this time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty took the initiative to throw an olive branch to them.

In the eyes of the nine great families of the Chen State, neither Chen Baxian nor Liu Che could confront the fierce Qin army, and only the powerful Manchu Qing could keep their existing interests.

In addition, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not stingy, and in order to win over the nine great families, they promised a lot of benefits, which made the nine great families excited.

In addition, the Manchu Qing Dynasty attached great importance to the Han people who took refuge in the past, and after the three generals Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, and Geng Jingzhong took refuge, they have all been made marquises.

Therefore, the nine great families of Chen State, almost without much consideration, unanimously decided to sell Chen Baxian, defect to the Manchu Qing, and then borrow the power of the Manchu Qing to resist the Qin army in order to protect the interests of their own family, and Chen Baxian became a victim of the Chen family.

"Brother Cai, it seems that Chen Ba will not cooperate with us honestly first, or ......"

As he spoke, a trace of killing intent flashed in Gao Yu's eyes, and he made a movement to wipe his neck, which meant nothing more than words.

"Kill Chen Baxian now, fools know that we did it, it's too obvious."

Cai Jing shook his head decisively, and then sneered: "Whether Chen Ba accompanies him or not, what difference does it make to us?" We just need him to help us fight the infamy. ”

Zhang Bangchang walked over and said lightly: "Chen Baxian is not a simple person, he entered Liaoxi alone, turned around between major events, and finally sat on the throne of King Chen, and his means are still quite powerful, so let's be cautious, don't overturn in the gutter." ”

"Don't worry, I only have a back hand."

Cai Jing smiled slightly, and said confidently: "In this land of western Liaoning, even if he Chen Ba is the first true dragon, he can't fly in the face of our family." ”

On the other side, after returning to the palace, Chen Baxian's face was extremely gloomy, and there seemed to be a flame in his eyes.

"Damn Cai Jing, damn the family."

Chen Ba gritted his teeth and said, he is really consequence now, in order to get the support of the family, he promised too much benefit to the family, so that now it is completely too big.

"Do you think this will bring me to my knees, dreaming?" Chen Baxian muttered to himself hatefully.

Chen Baxian is not a mortal after all, and after realizing that he has become a tool man of the family, he immediately thought about how to fight back in his heart.

Although the Chen family had joined forces and put him in the air and imprisoned him, it was impossible to completely control the army so quickly.

Chen Baxian is not alone in Chen Guo, he has an elite in his hands that Wang Mang handed over to him, and many of Chen Guoxinjun are his henchmen.

Among Chen Guo's 50,000 troops, at least nearly half of them will still obey Chen Baxian's orders.

"Immediately send an order to General Chen Chao and General Tong Guan, let them come back as quickly as possible and kill the rebels." Chen Baxian coldly ordered his henchmen.

Chen Chao is Chen Baxian's brother, and Tong Guan is the first general to take refuge after Chen Baxian came to Youzhou, and he has always been loyal to himself, so in his opinion, these two people will never betray him.

"No."

The man in black disappeared into the night sky and soon disappeared without a trace.

Chen Baxian waited quietly for Chen Chao and Tong Guan to lead the army back, and Qing Jun was on the side to save him from fire and water, but what was waiting was not the army, but Cai Jing and other people from major families.

Seeing that Tong Guan was also in the queue of the family, Chen Baxian's face turned pale for a short time, and he pointed at Tong Guan tremblingly, so angry that he couldn't speak.

Tong Guan glanced at Chen Baxian indifferently, and then threw Chen Chao's head in his hand directly at Chen Baxian's feet, obviously this invisible struggle was won by the family.

Cai Jing stood in the middle of everyone, looked at Chen Baxian with a miserable face, and asked coldly, "Why did the lord rebel?" ”
