At this time, in Chen Liucheng, except for the soldiers patrolling around, half of the people on the street were gone, because it was a war now, and it was easy to have an accident if the curfew was not enforced.

But in Chen Liucheng's mansions, the lights were bright, and no one slept.

"Brother, what do you think of the current situation?"

A gorgeously dressed middle-aged man asked his brother on the main seat.

Although the elder brother is not old, he has already become a fine, and as soon as his brother lifted his ass, he knew what kind of fart he was going to put out.

"The current situation? Although the Duke of Han has an advantage, the Duke of Wei relies on the high pond danger of the city, and the grain and grass are abundant, as long as he can hold it for a year and a half, the Duke of Han will inevitably be unable to fight again and withdraw his troops on his own. ”

The elder brother took a sip of tea.

"Brother, you know what I'm trying to say! Don't hide it from your brother! ”

The middle-aged man said urgently.

"I'm telling the truth!"

The elder brother is still not in a hurry.

The middle-aged manly jumped down from the chair directly, and said to his brother: "Brother, His Royal Highness the Duke of Han is very dignified, and the civil and military officials at the head of the city have seen it with their own eyes, if the Duke of Wei is trapped in guarding Chen Liu, no one in Danzhou will come to support Chen Liu, except for a few people such as Shan Xiongxin, and the most important thing is that the 100,000 army led by Han Wei in Jinzhou has already been wiped out!" Even if the Han army withdraws this time, does our Great Wei still have the strength to turn over? ”

"It's better to surrender to Han!"

The middle-aged man finally made his own suggestion to his brother in the main seat.

"Descending to Han?"

The elder brother smiled obviously and put the teacup on the table: "When you supported Duke Wei back then, you were the most active and disgusted with Liu De, the Duke of Han, but why did you change so much today, which surprised my brother. ”

"Brother, this time is different!"

The middle-aged man persuaded bitterly: "Back then, Duke Wei welcomed His Majesty and received Jinzhou, as the sun was in the sky, who could have expected today's situation, and the Duke of Han had unified the five states, and the Duke of Han himself was even more wise and martial. Brother, only by surrendering to the Duke of Han can we protect our family! ”

"If because the Duke of Han occupies the five states and has enough elite soldiers and food, it can be determined that he dominates the world, then the rest of the princes will surrender directly, so why bother to raise troops to resist?"

The elder brother snorted coldly and said.

"Brother, you are crooked!"

The middle-aged man said again: "Which of the princes in the world has no ambition, but we are different, we are just to protect the family!" ”

"Preserve the family? Where is it so easy in the troubled times, my brother, the Han Gong is harsh on the family, and the imperial examination is carried out, and the roots of the family are broken, so it is not a good place for us to go under the command of the Han Gong, only under the command of the Wei Gong, our family can last for a hundred years and prosper forever! ”

The elder brother said to his younger brother.

"Brother!"

The middle-aged man was persuading: "I sent someone to investigate, although the Han Gong slaughtered many families, but those families were all killed because of rebellion, but none of them were killed because of innocence, and the so-called imperial examination, how many of those poor people have studied?" Most of the people who took the imperial examination are children of families, what is the difference between this and before? At most, they sifted out those anointing children who had no ability, and the court still occupied more than the world's family.

Han Gong could only find another way from other places, such as the Qimen Army, but it also did not threaten the status of the family.

What's more, in order to appease Luanzhou, the Duke of Han also married the daughter of the Yin family, so it can also be seen that His Royal Highness the Duke of Han does not want to be an enemy of the family! ”

"What do you think about building a school?"

The elder brother asked directly.

"This is the general trend! Even if Han Gong didn't build a school, would there be no private school in the world? There are so many poor people who can't eat enough, is it possible to send their children to school? ”

"It is said that the tuition is free, and there is even a subsidy..."

"Brother, you think too much, His Royal Highness the Duke of Han is tired of conquering the world, how much grain will be put on this, to be honest, my brother thinks that it won't be long before this school will be over. This world is still the world of the family. ”

"Maybe what you said is right, but we have the merit of supporting His Royal Highness the Duke of Wei, if His Royal Highness the Duke of Wei survives this battle, our family will still be prominent, but if we surrender to the Duke of Han, what will the other families think of us, and how can we gain a foothold in this Chen Liucheng?"

"We're not the only one?"

"What?"

The head of the family, who had been calm, suddenly raised his head and looked directly at his younger brother.

......

"Woohoo!"

Several arrows shot at Cheng Yanjin's feet, and Cheng Yanjin shouted: "I am Cheng Yanjin, open the city gate quickly!" ”

The lieutenant at the head of the city felt puzzled and asked his subordinates: "Cheng biting gold?" Who is this person? ”

"I don't know!"

Most of the soldiers shook their heads, indicating that they did not understand.

In the end, one person was finally a little impressed, and said to his own head official: "This Cheng Biting Jin seems to be a general under General Shan, wasn't he arrested by the Han army?" How did you get back? ”

"Under General Shan?"

Only then did the lieutenant say: "Then you go to General Shan!" ”

"Yes!"

Shan Xiongxin, who learned the news, hurried over and shouted to Cheng Yanjin under the city: "Is it you?" Biting gold? ”

The city is too dark, and although Cheng Yanjin is holding a torch, the firelight flickers on and off, and it is not easy to identify.

"It's me, Second Brother Shan!"

When Shan Xiongxin heard Cheng Biting Jin's voice, he was immediately overjoyed, and said to the captain of the city: "Quick! Open the gates! ”

The captain of the city head said to Shan Xiongxin with a sad face: "General Shan, it's not that you don't want to open the door, there is a military order here, if the general of the Chinese army learns about this, it will definitely be punished, not to mention that the situation outside is unknown, otherwise it is better to wait for Tianming to say it!" ”

Shan Xiongxin was furious, grabbed the neck of the captain guarding the city, and scolded: "Do you let a certain watch his brother freeze outside the city for a night? ”

"It's... There is really nothing that can be done about this, otherwise the general will ask the general of the Chinese army? ”

The general of the Chinese army mentioned by the commander is Li Lei.

"Damn!"

Where did Shan Xiongxin suffer such anger as a scoop in Wuzhou, and the lieutenant in front of him obviously deliberately made Shan Xiongxin ugly.

At this time, Cheng Biting Jin's voice suddenly came from outside the city, "Second Brother Shan, you go and tell His Royal Highness Duke Wei that Duke Han let me come back because he asked me to bring a letter to His Royal Highness Duke Wei." ”

"Humph!"

Shan Xiongxin pushed away the captain who guarded the city, and shouted at the city: "Bite Jin, you wait a while, I will go to His Royal Highness Duke Wei!" ”

After Shan Xiongxin left, the soldiers beside Du Wei quietly asked: "Du Wei, after all, this General Shan led a large army to help, and the lord also praised him, isn't it good to wipe his face like this?" ”

"Cut!"

Du Wei snorted disdainfully and said: "It's just a grass coward in the rivers and lakes, calling him a general, he really treats himself as a character, don't worry about him!" ”

Du Wei is the son of everyone in the city, of course, he looks down on people like Shan Xiongxin, don't look at Shan Xiongxin's famous name, but in the eyes of this group of families, in the final analysis, they are just a bunch of grass cowards.

Although it is quite meritorious, how can it be in their eyes, the same is true for Lu Bu, but now it is a troubled time, Lu Bu relies on his martial bravery, but no one dares to be presumptuous in front of him, and Li Yun attaches so much importance to Lu Bu.

Shan Xiongxin went straight to the Wei Mansion, although there were soldiers patrolling the streets halfway, but when he saw that it was Shan Xiongxin, he didn't dare to stop him.

Before Shan Xiongxin came to the Wei Mansion, he was directly stopped by the soldiers guarding outside the Wei Mansion, and Shan Xiongxin hurriedly said: "A certain is the former general Shan Xiongxin, and he has a special urgency to see His Royal Highness the Duke of Wei!" ”

The leading general said coldly: "Wait a minute, I'll report it!" ”

Shan Xiongxin waited for nearly half an hour before the general came out and said to Shan Xiongxin: "Come with me!" ”

"Yes, thank you, General!"

"Don't dare, a certain is Chang Shengkai, the deputy commander of the Left Army, and he deserves the title of general!"

Chang Shengkai led Shan Xiongxin to the lobby, and Li Yun was waiting for Shan Xiongxin in the lobby.

Shan Xiongxin hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and said, "The last general, Shan Xiongxin, will meet His Highness!" ”

"General Shan, please get up!"

Li Yun personally helped Shan Xiongxin up and said to Shan Xiongxin: "General Shan, come late at night, is there anything important?" ”

Shan Xiongxin then told Li Yun what had just happened.

Li Yundao: "Letter? You brought Cheng Yanjin over, and Gu asked him personally. ”

"Yes!"

Shan Xiongxin gave up his hand, and then left the Wei Mansion and went straight to the city.

After the lieutenant reluctantly opened the city gate, Shan Xiongxin was not in the mood to clean him up, and directly led Cheng Yanjin to the Wei Mansion.

"What letter did Liu De ask you to give to Lone?"

Li Yun asked directly.

Cheng Yanjin took out a letter from his arms, presented it to Li Yun, and said, "This is the letter." ”

Li Yun took the letter, this is the paper that has begun to circulate in the Han Kingdom, and it has also been passed on to Chen Liulai, and even Chen Liu's paper has been made, but it is not as delicate as that handed down by the Han Kingdom.

Li Yun glanced at the seal on it, which was the private seal of Liu De, the Duke of Han.

Li Yun asked Cheng Yanjin, "Did Liu De say anything when he handed over this letter to you?" ”

"Han Gong said that you will know after reading this letter!"

Li Yun listened, opened the envelope, there was only a thin piece of paper inside, Li Yun unfolded it, and the handwriting inside made Li Yun's eyes turn red all of a sudden.

This is not Liu De's letter, but a letter written by Li Lan to her brother.

Li Yun resents Li Lan, but she is his own sister after all!

"Go down first!"

Li Yun waved his hand at Shan Xiongxin and the others.

Shan Xiongxin and Cheng Biting Jin said yes.

Waiting out of the gate of the Wei Mansion, Shan Xiongxin also arched his hand at Chang Sheng, the deputy commander of the pro-guard army.

Chang Shengkai only bowed slightly.

Shan Xiongxin turned around at this time and said to Cheng Yanjin with a smile: "You can come back, I'm really happy for my brother, you go back to the house with your brother, and tell your brother what happened in Hanying!" ”

The two did not ride a horse, but led the horse to walk on the street, Cheng Biting Jin usually came quickly and stubbornly, opened his teeth and claws, and couldn't settle down, and was often scolded by Shan Xiongxin and Wang Bodang.

But not long has passed, Cheng Yanjin is a little mature, Cheng Yanjin asked Shan Xiongxin, "Who is that person?" ”

Shan Xiongxin said: "It's the deputy commander of Wei Gong's personal guards!" ”

Cheng Yanjin suddenly stood on his feet, and Shan Xiongxin wondered: "Why don't you leave?" ”

"Second brother Shan, back then, I and my brother of the Wang family followed you all over the five states and dominated the rivers and lakes, no matter how many difficulties and dangers, I never saw the second brother grovel to anyone."

Cheng Biting Jin's eyes were red, and he pointed in the direction of Duke Wei's Mansion and scolded: "That's just a deputy commander, why should the second brother be so low, is this still the heroic and extraordinary second brother I know!" ”

Cheng gritted his teeth, but he couldn't help it, hiding his face and sobbing.

A man with five big and three thick squatted on the ground in pain, but this scene made people's hearts a little sour.

Shan Xiongxin's lips moved slightly, leaned over, patted Cheng Jin's shoulder, and said: "After all, this is Chen Liu, just throw a stone at will, maybe, one of the ten people is a child of the family, and it is normal for them to look down on us people in the green forest..."

"Normal?"

Cheng Yanjin wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and scolded: "A small captain who guards the city can be inferior to you, even if we are made marquis and become generals, what can we do?" ”

"Whether it is a civil official or a military general, which one is not a prominent person with a wealthy fortune and a prominent ancestor, there is a place for us to show it here, second brother, wake up! We're not welcome here! ”

Shan Xiongxin reluctantly smiled and said, "What did you say about biting Jin, Duke Wei obviously attaches great importance to ours..."

The two of them walked and talked, and this time they came directly to Shan Xiongxin's mansion, Cheng Yanjin stood at the door of Shan Xiongxin for a long time, pointed to the dilapidated mansion and said to Shan Xiongxin: "Second brother, this is what you call attention?" ”

Shan Xiongxin explained: "Biting gold, it's not what you think, after all, it's a big war now, and I don't have the strength to repair the mansion..."

"What do you say about Lu Bu's mansion?"

Cheng Yanjin asked directly.

"That mansion is much more luxurious than the second brother's mansion, and I don't believe it, this huge Chen Liucheng can't choose a mansion!"

Shan Xiongxin didn't have it for a while.

Cheng Yanjin paused, still looking at the dilapidated mansion gate, and said to Shan Xiongxin: "Second brother, return to the Han Duke with me!" ”

"Return to Han... What the!!! ”

Shan Xiongxin was a little absent-minded, and when he reacted, he was suddenly shocked.

"Bite the gold, you!"

Cheng Yanjin took a step forward and said: "Second brother, under the command of Duke Wei, I'm afraid that this will be the case for the rest of my life, suppressed by the children of the family, and I will never be able to raise my head, not to mention, it's another thing to wait for it!" ”

Without waiting for Shan Xiongxin to ask, Cheng Yanjin said: "Now most of the generals under the command of the Han Gong are the children of the Han family, from poor backgrounds, the governor of Guan Du used to make a living as a hawker, General Zhang Fei also killed pigs and sold meat, General Dian Wei is a hunter in the mountains, General Liu Pi used to be a bandit, but now they are all in a high position, as long as they have the ability, the Han Gong will inevitably be reused." ”

Cheng Biting Jin grabbed Shan Xiongxin's hand and said: "Second brother, your martial arts are extraordinary, as long as you make military achievements, you will be able to rank among the top ministers in the future, so why bother to look at the face of that family here!" ”

"Bite the gold! You don't understand! How could Han Gong tolerate me? ”

Cheng Yanjin looked directly at Shan Xiongxin, and said categorically: "What if I say that His Royal Highness the Duke of Han is the second brother?" ”
