Under the guidance of Qu Cheng, Zhao Hongrun and his party came to Yanling County. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because Qu Cheng had sent soldiers to Yanling to report the news in advance, when Zhao Hongrun and his party arrived in Yanling, the county commander of this county had already brought the officials in the county to wait at the gate of Yanling.

The county magistrate of Yanling County is called Peng Yi, at the age of thirty or forty, as soon as he saw the appearance of this person, Zhao Hongrun felt a little familiar, he had the ability to never forget, and he always felt that this Peng county magistrate had seen it somewhere.

After asking, Zhao Hongrun suddenly realized that this Peng County Commander was actually one of the five Chu nobles who ordered the Ping Xuan Army to confiscate the wealth of his family during the period when he led the army to attack the Xuancheng Jun Xiong Tuo Fengyi, and the head of the Peng family.

"Your Peng clan also defected to my Great Wei?"

Zhao Hongrun was really a little surprised, because in his opinion, only those civilians of the Chu State would defect to the Wei State, but he didn't expect that even the Peng clan would defect to the Wei State.

You must know that the Peng family was confiscated by the Ping Xuan Army at that time.

Hearing Zhao Hongrun ask, Peng Yi said respectfully: "Good birds choose trees to perch, Great Wei has a royal family as wise as Gongzi Run, I believe that the country will become more and more prosperous......

Peng Yi said good things, but in fact, their Peng family defected to the Wei State, but they were afraid that they would be squeezed dry by Xiong Tuo afterwards, after being confiscated by the Ping Xuan Army.

After all, before the battle of Chu and Wei, the Peng family and other major nobles in Xiong Tuo's fiefdom did some things that made Xiong Tuo feel unhappy for the sake of interests. Originally, Xiong Tuo would have been afraid of the joint resistance of the five nobles, and would tolerate them for one or two, but since Zhao Hongrun had swept through the family castle of these nobles with the Ping Xuan army, and killed all the family members and servants who tried to resist, would he Xiong Tuo still be afraid of the resistance of these nobles?

You must know that Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, is not a soft-hearted person, he is more ruthless than Zhao Hongrun.

So, Peng Yi took his family to the Wei State, after all, in his opinion, the army under the command of Zhao Hongrun had robbed them once, and it stands to reason that they would not rob them a second time, and furthermore, the political environment of the Wei State was much better than that of the Chu State.

And if you stay in the Chu State, then I am afraid that there is really only a dead end.

This was not Peng Yi's speculation, in fact, after his Peng clan took root in Yanling, he sent people to the Chu State to investigate.

Sure enough, those small and medium-sized nobles who chose to stay in Chu were all squeezed out of their family property by Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, and the channels for making a living in the past were also taken over by Xiong Tuo and Xiong Hu.

Otherwise, how could Xiong Tuo get the money to buy food and weapons from Wei, and quickly build a new army of 100,000 people?

After learning of this, the nobles of the original Chu State who defected to the Wei State were all secretly lucky, because the nobles who chose to stay in the Chu State all fell victim to the preparation of the new army by Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, on the other hand, although they worked hard to move to Yanling of the Wei State, they took root in this county and developed again very quickly.

It's no wonder, after all, neither Zhao Hongrun nor the Wei court suppressed these nobles who defected from the Chu State, as long as these nobles obeyed the law.

No, the imperial court even the county orders of Yanling, Changping, and Shangshui were recommended by these original Chu people, which can be said to be enough generous treatment, and I believe that the imperial court's practice of buying horse bones is no less than a thousand dollars, and it will definitely attract some people who cannot be reused in other countries in the future, so that the talents of the world will gather to Wei one after another.

During the chat, Peng Yi and Qu Cheng invited Zhao Hongrun and his party to the county government in the county.

Along the way, Peng Yi carefully accompanied Zhao Hongrun, his words and deeds were very respectful, and it could be seen that he was still full of fear of Zhao Hongrun.

It is no wonder that after all, Zhao Hongrun is in the south of Yingshui North County of Wei State, including the north of Yingshui South County of Chu State, and his deterrent power is far greater than that of Wei State's court, after all, it is the place where Zhao Hongrun defeated Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, with his outnumbered enemies, and fought all the way to the territory of Chu State.

But in fact, Zhao Hongrun still has a good impression of Peng Yi, after all, the Peng family handed over all the family property very obediently, and in the end, Zhao Hongrun felt that he couldn't go, so he left them a percent, in other words, the Peng family is a very knowledgeable person.

Of course, what made Zhao Hongrun have a good impression of Peng Yi was the current situation in the city that Zhao Hongrun saw with his own eyes after entering the city.

I remember that Zhao Hongrun had asked the aborigines of Yanling to move to Anling in order to calculate the peace of the monarch Xiong Hu, and set a fire to burn Yanling, but now, the buildings in the city have already been roughly completed, and the security situation in the city also makes Zhao Hongrun very satisfied.

In view of these two points, Zhao Hongrun didn't care whether Peng Yi was from Chu or not, or if he had any private dealings with Qu Cheng.

What the? It seems that Peng Yi has nothing to do with Qu Cheng?

Heh, without the support of Qu Cheng, who is in charge of the 20,000 Yanling Army, Peng Yi can become the county commander of Yanling County today?

Of course, Zhao Hongrun doesn't mind this, anyway, whether it is Qu Cheng or Peng Yi, as long as they can really govern Yan Ling well, Zhao Hongrun will not be stingy with one or two positions at all.

After coming to the county government office in Yanling County, Peng Yi invited Zhao Hongrun to the county and instructed the cook to serve the wine and food he had already prepared.

Zhao Hongrun was quite interested to find that although the newly built county government in Yanling County resembles the architecture of the Wei State, it has a strong Chu style.

Well, to be exact, it should be that the buildings in the entire Yanling County are now generally in a strong Chu style, no, Zhao Hongrun has seen the buildings and furnishings of the county government several times, carved with images like gods and monsters, and these Wei States do not have.

In the Wei State, in addition to believing in the Heavenly Father and Mother Earth, there are only the Jiaolong on the auspicious clouds, the legendary unicorn that rules the earth, and the most common tiger on the banner of the army.

On the Chu side, there are many strange mythical beasts such as fire phoenixes and giant tortoises, and there are even many images of gods who resemble human shapes in a certain part.

Probably noticing that Zhao Hongrun was using a large number of carvings for decoration, Peng Yi hurriedly explained: "Your Royal Highness King Su is not strange, we originally wanted to follow the customs of the countryside and build buildings with the customs of the Great Wei Dynasty, but we have no choice but to ...... your country Ah no, it's some of my Da Wei, they'...... I didn't want to help me, so I had to ......"

Looking at the wry smile on Peng Yi's face, Zhao Hongrun immediately understood.

Obviously, Peng Yi and the others originally planned to find some Wei people and ask them about the architectural style of the Wei State, but if you think about it, you also know that around Yanling, the Wei people in Zhaoling, Anling, Huaiyang and other places hate these Chu people because of the battle between Chu and Wei, how can they help them build buildings in the city?

"It doesn't matter. Since I, Dawei, have accepted you and others, I Dawei will naturally be tolerant of your culture and customs. Zhao Hongrun said with a smile, with the tolerant style of a big country, showing his bearing as a great nobleman.

And this is also one of the reasons why Peng Yi is respectful to Zhao Hongrun, after all, Zhao Hongrun was born in the largest aristocracy of Wei State, and is a descendant of the royal family surnamed Zhao.

If you change to a commoner from a lower background, I believe that even if you defeat the Chu people, the Chu people who pay attention to bloodline may not necessarily give in sincerely.

There is no way, the nobility of the bloodline has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the Chu people, it seems to be invisible, but it is something more powerful than strength.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Hongrun told Peng Yi about the main purpose of his trip to the south, and frankly told Peng Yi that he came this time to solve the dispute between the people of Yanling County and Anling County.

Hearing this, Peng Yi's face showed a little hesitation, and after thinking about it, he arched his hand and said to Zhao Hongrun: "King Su, the fault of this matter does not lie with the people of Yanling, but with Anling...... It's too much! ”

Zhao Hongrun knew that Peng Yi would do this, and said with a smile when he heard the words: "Okay, this king also knows about it." In fact, in the eyes of this king, this matter is that there is a grudge in the hearts of the two sides, which makes the misunderstanding escalate step by step, so it just causes a dispute. ”

Hearing this, Peng Yi and Qu Cheng glanced at each other, and then cautiously asked Zhao Hongrun: "King Su, what do you know, can you tell me frankly?" ”

Zhao Hongrun was a little puzzled when he heard this, and said puzzledly: "Isn't it that two groups of people went up the mountain to hunt at the beginning, and they accidentally bumped into each other, and as a result, they fought...... " He told Peng Yi what he had heard.

Unexpectedly, after listening quietly, Peng Yi was silent for a moment, and then said to Zhao Hongrun: "No, King Su, the conflict between my Yanling and An Ling is not just a farce as King Su knows. ”

"What do you mean?" Zhao Hongrun frowned.

"First of all." Peng Yi raised a finger and said, "I, the people of Yanling County, went up to the mountains to hunt, and what I bumped into was not the ordinary county citizens of Anling, but the nobles of Anling. Secondly, those people from Yanling did not dispute with them about whether this mountain belonged to Yanling or Anling, as His Highness said, in fact, it was the nobles of Anling who scolded the people of our county for being defeated pariahs and connived at their servants to kill them......"

"Kill it?" Zhao Hongrun's brows furrowed even tighter.

"Yes." Peng Yi nodded, and Zhengse said: "Five people, four dead and one seriously injured." After that, he paused, and then continued: "The seriously injured man is the youngest son of a nobleman from my Yanling family, although he has lost his noble position after defecting to the Great Wei, there are still some domestic servants who follow. This son, after escaping back to the county, died of his injuries not long after. ”

“……”

"The family takes Gong as the surname, the tribute comes from Duanmu, Duanmu comes from the surname Mi, the head of the family is called Gongyou, there are three sons, the eldest son is named Ying, the second son is named Fu, and the one who died is his youngest son, named young. …… The two brothers, Gongying and Gongfu, both had the courage to take their servants to seek revenge, and ambushed them in the hills for three months, and finally waited for the group of nobles, and the two brothers and their servants came out together, but the nobleman escaped. Afterwards, the Anling County Commander sent someone to ask for the murderer in Zaixia, and he knew that once the two brothers Gongying and Gongfu were handed over to Anling, the two brothers would die, so they refused, however, the nobleman brought people and horses to ask for the murderer outside Yanling County, saying that if the murderer was not handed over, the city would be broken. At that time, the two brothers Gongying and Gongfu were angry and led people to kill outside the city, and the two sides had a bloody battle outside the county. …… At that time, the Yanling army was transferred to Dangshan, and he had to send people to Shangshui to seek help from the Shangshui army, but fortunately, General Wuma came in time, otherwise, the casualties of each other would be greater. ”

"Casualties to each other?" Zhao Hongrun's brows tightened, you must know that as far as he knows, it was just a farce, and there were no casualties.

"Yes, there were casualties on each other, about 1,300 people." Peng Yi said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun's eyes showed a look of horror, and he said in disbelief: "How can there be so many? …… What about the Anling County Order? As far as this king knows, he has sent county soldiers. ”

Peng Yiyan snorted lightly when he heard this, and mocked: "The Anling County Order did send county soldiers, but he didn't interfere, just watched from the sidelines. I even suspect that this county soldier is clearly here to cheer for the Anling nobleman. ”

"How can it be!"

Zhao Hongrun slapped the table, shook the wine bottle to the ground, and spilled the wine on the ground.

"Peng Yi, what you said is true?"

"It's true!" Peng Yi arched his hand and said, "If King Su doesn't believe it, you can ask General Wu Majiao." If you don't believe me, you can ask any of the county residents in Yanling County. ”

"Good!" Zhao Hongrun nodded, looked at Peng Yi and said in a deep voice: "If you have half a lie, when this king finds out about this matter, he will definitely behead you; If your words are true, this king will give you Yan Ling's head! …… Do you dare to make an agreement with this king? ”

"Dare!" Peng Yi said with a straight face.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun looked at Peng Yi deeply, then stood up abruptly, and walked out of the hall with his sleeves brushed.

"Let's go! Wei Jiao, go to Anling! ”

"Yes!"

Wei Jiao and the other five sect guards followed. (To be continued.) )
