Chapter 43: Ambition is Clear

The first battle of Dongying, known as the Sun and Moon Divine Service by later generations, the Central Plains raised troops when the sun rose and the moon rose, and Dongying was destroyed when the moon set and the sun rose. How great it is preached by the people of later generations, in fact, it is just a trick of many help for those who have attained the Tao and little help for those who have lost the Tao. This is in this troubled era, the most unsober, should be the king, any hero who sits on the dragon chair, will be blinded by honor, so they are finally overthrown by others, after the dynasty is changed, history will be different......

The people of Fuwan pushed the last of the 1,000 Dongying soldiers out into the sea, just as their relatives were pushed into the infinite abyss by those people, and there was no trace of them in this world. They looked at the generals who began to panic in the face of death, and the people of Fuwan finally understood that in the face of death, everyone is the same, and no one can be an exception. A nation that invades others can also be invaded by others under the leadership of heroes, and often history does not write the darkness of the victors, because this world advocates high morality. But if it weren't for Chu Lingran and Mu Ruoying today, and they were still the emperor who didn't seek his job in his position, would their lives be reborn as they are now? Chu Lingran is in the position of a general, and the formation of leading troops today, in fact, everyone in the world already knows that this dynasty... It's time for a change of owner. But the person who sat on the throne safely could still "steal half a day of leisure" for a few days?

The people of Fuwan can finally start a new life in this land, even with the pain of the past, they know what to do tomorrow, instead of blindly sinking in the pain and refusing to rest. Chu Lingran's army retreated to the coastline, and the army would be reorganized in Dongjiang for a day, and then all returned to the Central Plains of Fuwan from Dongjiang. Mu Ruoying and Chu Lingran... Tomorrow, he will lead the army to the west along the mouth of the East China Sea of Fuwan and the Yellow River, this is not a route to find the general victory of the war in the past, the army has already known Chu Lingran's ambitions, and the frontier has been in turmoil, only the capital is still intoxicated with a drunken dream, and has never thought that the scene of the Jin Ge Iron Horse is actually ... Not far from them at all.

"The general stays."

Before Chu Lingran finally returned to Eastern Xinjiang with the army, Marta left him and Mu Ruoying, their province has long been without a person in power to take care of it, at this time like a plate of scattered sand, the people have set up Marta as their principal for the time being, and give them a united faith, Fuwan is close to the sea, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and now it is separated from both sides of Dongjiang, the people of Dongjiang will never come to oppress Fuwan, and the wealth and prosperity of Fuwan are just around the corner.

"We want to tell the general that only the general ... In order to make the people of Fuwan believe that the Central Plains will one day be able to prosper and be peaceful. The world says that the Central Plains Dynasty is going to be replaced, and it is inconvenient for the people on our side to speculate too much, but Fuwan died once, and now Fuwan only belongs to Chu Lingran, the protector general, and it is completely independent from the Central Plains. If he is the day, the general will sit on his throne, and Fuwan will go to the capital to tell him about his obedience. ”

Marta bowed like Chu Lingran, the head of one side would not perform such a big courtesy to a general, and the soldiers waiting for Chu Lingran on the boat naturally understood Fuwan's heart of submission, if it was against the Central Plains, Fuwan would destroy the He Dynasty together. If it is based on the Central Plains, Fuwan Ning will not give in.

"Thank you, maybe it won't be long before we can meet again in the capital."

Chu Lingran's words were not taken lightly, this sentence was not only for Marta, but also for all the generals, he showed his determination, he... It's going to be a reversal of the current dynasty. An emperor who is still breathing and does not care about his people can actually drag him off the throne so easily, but the hearts of the people are cold, and it is difficult for the new generation of emperors to let them look forward to the future and peace. Then such a dynasty will never be long. It is precisely in this way that Mu Ruoying will follow Chu Lingran all the way, what they want is natural submission, not a winning transaction, only in this way can Chu Lingran become their faith and be the real emperor.

The army crossed the East China Sea, it was noon, the battle lasted a whole day, Dongying, a distant coastline can still be seen Lingding land, now it is just an inch of scorched earth, the sea and the sky, in fact, it only takes one night, everything has changed. The casualties of the generals are very light, everyone only needs to adjust in the east for one day, you can go to the west along the mouth of the Yellow River, the thirty-six small countries in the frontier, although the strength is not strong, but all the departments have Chu Lingran's forces wandering, as long as they take the king of the four territories of the east, west, north and south, the thirty-six small countries will naturally be obedient, then, they only need to lock all the way, the last stop... It's just the Imperial City of the Central Plains.

"Report! General, Nakahara letters! ”

It seems that the emperor finally can't wait, Chu Lingran's immobility and the surrender of Eastern Xinjiang, and even his promise to the people of Fuwan, have made it rumored in the world that he is going to rebel, the emperor is suspicious by nature, and now he naturally can't bear it, this is the fourth letter. What was written in the letter was nothing more than the emperor's superficial words, hoping that he would return to Beijing as soon as possible. Chu Lingran burned the letter, remembering that he had been named a prince at a young age, he was ignorant of the world, and he never thought that he would one day use this way to regain what once belonged to him.

"Ling Ran, early tomorrow morning, we will go to the Western Xinjiang to meet Liu Ren, the entrance to the Western Xinjiang is definitely planted with the eyes of the Central Plains, calculate the time, if we can't negotiate with the Emperor of the Western Xinjiang successfully, the emperor will send someone to arrest you, the thief, we must not suffer from the enemy in this battle, the trust and support of the King of the Western Xinjiang is our most critical victory."

He Qiyu and Mu Ruoying were both discussing military affairs in the camp tent, and the other generals Chu Lingran ordered them to go down and rest separately, but the Dongjiang military camp at noon was surprisingly quiet, and there were probably only the three of them who were awake at the moment. They have heard a lot of rumors about the king of Xijiang, he is indeed a person with a majestic strategy, but the more this is the case, the more this kind of person generally looks down on a soldier with Chu Lingran's posture, and the negotiation between them cannot be achieved without Liu Ren.

"I understand, Liu Renke has ever sent a letter?"

"He planted a lot of Rakshasa flowers in the border between Western Xinjiang and Eastern Xinjiang, and most of the flower seeds were used up, and when he negotiated with the king of Western Xinjiang, he also hoped that he could be there."

The story of Liu Ren and the king of Xijiang may be that Liu Ren, as the benefactor of Li Mingjian, the king of Xijiang, saved his life, but it was Li Mingjian who really told him the way to survive in this troubled world, and what he did as an official was not for one person, but for the people. The relationship between them should be constantly involved, so the king of Western Xinjiang will leave him the secret number of flowers in Western Xinjiang.

In the early morning of the second day, the army was fully equipped, and after a night's recuperation, they recovered a lot, and several seriously wounded soldiers stayed in Fuwan, before Chu Lingran left, they promised Chu Lingran that when their injuries improved, they would go directly to the Central Plains to join Chu Lingran. The entire Central Plains army, now, is no longer the army of the Central Plains, they are Chu Lingran's soldiers.

The army has exchanged maritime navigation techniques with the generals of eastern Xinjiang in the past half a month, and now most of the soldiers are comfortable with sea navigation, they landed on the land of Fuwan, accepted the gratitude and courtesy of the people of Fuwan, and embarked on the road to western Xinjiang. is more deeply exposed, and has been exposed by the sun, moon and stars. Time turned, seven days later, they finally arrived in the hell on the border of Western Xinjiang, they did not clear the customs documents, and all the opportunities were in the hands of Liu Ren at this moment.

And the court also began to run, and the emperor finally realized Chu Lingran's rebels on the fourth day after the fourth letter was sent. He began to frantically levy troops from all over the city to ensure his safety and the stability of the throne, and the entire He dynasty began to be limited to endless panic and chaos. Chu Lingran's army got off the boat, and saw the displaced people rushing from all over the country, some of the people who came from the capital have now fled to the western Xinjiang, according to them, the men in the family have been requisitioned by the imperial court in order to resist Chu Lingran, but the layers of cumbersome taxes and miscellaneous taxes have forced them to leave their homeland, and the people are not living here...... But the man who had been sitting on the dragon chair for a long time had not yet discovered that what he really had to face was not Chu Lingran, but the tragic end of one person calling for thousands of people.

Their army was stationed near a farm, and such a large army would inevitably attract the attention of the king of the Western Frontier, but Chu Lingran firmly believed that if they did not move, the king of the western frontier would never do anything. What is really terrifying about him is not the prosperity and strength of the governance of the western Xinjiang, which has been subjugated to the rule of the Central Plains for several years, but the fact that he has an exact understanding of all parts of the country. has been running around the rivers and lakes for many years, if there is anyone in this world who can spy on Chu Lingran's true power except Mu Ruoying and them, I am afraid it is Li Mingjian.

They joined Liu Ren, who had a Rakshasa flower in his hand, and in order to prevent the bouquet from being seen by the people of Western Xinjiang, he chose the farthest mountain in Western Xinjiang and went out at night. The first thing Li Mingjian did when he ascended to the throne was to strictly investigate the existence of Rakshasa flowers, he blocked all the possibilities that could buy Rakshasa flowers on the black market, Mu Ruoying always felt that this young king had other ambitions. Although Rakshasa Flower was born in Western Xinjiang, but previously lived in various places, if it weren't for the fact that the royal family still had the last trace of the secret number to reproduce him, it would be difficult to say whether Rakshasa Flower could have the last hope of the Western Xinjiang royal family to preserve itself. The king of Xijiang should have found out about Liu Ren everywhere all these years to no avail, and no one would have thought that the once righteous prefect of the country would sit on the throne of the mountain, so he may have decided that Liu Ren was killed by his own stupidity.

"Liu Ren is here to thank the general for his great kindness."

As soon as Liu Ren saw Chu Lingran, he gave him a big salute, which was grateful to the people of Fuwan. He has been an official all his life, but he is honest and righteous, but he will inevitably have a lot of officialdom in the dark, and he can't protect the people when he gets to such an end. If it weren't for Chu Lingran, he would probably still be leading the people of Fuwan to live the life of thieves in the mountains at this time.

"Governor Liu doesn't have to be like this, if you are a monarch and minister in the future, I only hope you remember one thing, a sage who truly serves the people will first learn to protect himself, and then protect his people."

Liu Ren had only been here for less than a month, and he had found out the terrain in Western Xinjiang, and if they wanted to force the king of Western Xinjiang to meet with them, he was the only one who went in person. This battle has reached the point where it is now, what the king of Western Xinjiang is waiting for is nothing more than Chu Lingran's surrender, he can choose neutrality, but neutrality will inevitably lead to a big war, and the loss of life is not at all beneficial for a smart person like Chu Lingran. He knew that if it wasn't a complete victory, it would be a loss. Therefore, Chu Lingran will definitely go to negotiate conditions with him, but if Chu Lingran takes the initiative to go to the palace of the Western Frontier, then the bargaining chip will be in the hands of the King of the Western Frontier, and without the support of the Western Frontier, Chu Lingran will not be able to move an inch. The king of the Western Frontier wanted the freedom of his kingdom and the concessions made to him every year by the Central Plains. The people of the Central Plains have had enough of looking at people's faces, and Chu Lingran will never be able to talk about the conditions. Therefore, Chu Lingran's army was stationed in the Western Xinjiang for three days, and they did not see any movement in the Western Xinjiang army, they knew that if they rose to the level of Wuge, no one in this world would get it.

"Ling Ran, there is also movement in the capital, we can't wait any longer."

Mu Ruoying went to Chu Lingran's camp at night, the stalemate between the two sides did not cause a moment of damage to the Western Frontier, and they were facing a battle with the entire Central Plains, and it was not a good strategy for them to stand still with the king of the Western Frontier. But to talk to a monarch about the business of the world, Liu Ren alone is really not enough, he abandoned millions of people in the Western Xinjiang to inherit Liu Ren's favor, they should go to the Western Xinjiang royal family for a while......

"I instructed Liu Ren to stay up all night to see if the last batch of Rakshasa flowers bloomed, and when all the flowers that Li Mingjian gave Liu Ren finished blooming, we went to meet the king of Western Xinjiang."

"Are you trying to ......?"

Mu Ruoying finally understood why Chu Lingran insisted that Liu Ren stay on the border of Western Xinjiang to send out all the flower seeds as soon as possible, although the military and economy of the Western Xinjiang royal family are now rich, they are still far from the Central Plains, Li Mingjian left all the Rakshasa flower seeds in the royal family and kept them by him alone, if at this time... Due to what happened to the Rakshasa flower seed in the Western Xinjiang City, Li Mingjian must know that there are still people selling forbidden flowers under his nose, and he will one day find out Chu Lingran's head, Liu Ren is dead, only it is possible that Chu Lingran has mastered the secret of the Rakshasa flower seed......
