Chapter 879: Bestow the title of Qinghou
Seeing this, Lu Chen also stretched out his hand on his war horse and said, "Lord County, please get up quickly." β
"Your Highness!" The county head of Wanzhou wiped his tears, and after getting up, he hurriedly stretched out his hand sideways and said, "Your Highness, please enter the city." β
Subsequently, Lu Chen led his army into the city.
And after entering the city, something unexpected happened to Lu Chen.
When the wind army entered the city, I thought that the people of Qingdi would be afraid, and the doors and windows of every house were closed, but at this moment, the streets were full of people.
After Lu Chen rode his war horse and entered the people's sight, no one gave an order at all, and all the people knelt on the ground in unison, shouting in unison: "See His Royal Highness the Wind Kingββ"
With so many people, not only did Lu Chen be slightly stunned, but the generals of the Feng Army also widened their eyes.
Then, I don't know who shouted, and immediately after, countless people began to shout in unison: "Long live Your Highness!" Hoorayβ"
"Hoorayβ"
This is not difficult to understand, because everyone is a Central Plains nation, in fact, it is a country, but it is just a division of the princes, and what King Qingwang did, compared with Lu Chen, in the hearts of the people, there is no need to say much.
Seeing this scene, Lu Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath, you know, he is not an emperor!
And Sima Wen said quietly: "Those who win the hearts of the people will also ...... the world."
On the same day, Lu Chen stayed in the Wanzhou County Government, and now the battle situation in Qingdi is very clear, after Wanzhou, the wind army is no longer blocked, and the army can be gathered all the way south and go straight to Qingdu!
It's just that now, with Zhongli, Lu Chen is a little hesitant.
Zhongli, to put it bluntly, his defection is that he wants to be a Qinghou, which is out of purpose, not sincerely.
He may be afraid of Lu Chen's Wang Wei, or he may be very afraid of Lu Chen, but in his heart, he definitely does not respect Lu Chen.
Of course, Lu Chen knew this, and of course he had murderous intentions towards Zhongli, but for a while, he was a little hesitant.
In the study of the county government, Lu Chen was the only one, and after looking through some bamboo slips, he also began to smile at Liang who was guarding the door: "You go and call Liu Yuan over." β
"No!" Liang smiled in response and turned to leave.
After a while, Liu Yuan hurriedly walked over, and after entering the study, he also hurriedly saluted, and couldn't help asking, "The king called me?" β
"Yes." Lu Chen nodded first, then pondered, and said, "In your opinion, how about Zhongli?" β
"What does the king mean ......," Liu Yuan asked cautiously.
Lu Chen didn't speak.
Liu Yuan secretly glanced at Lu Chen's face, and when he saw this, he immediately knew what he knew, and immediately gestured his palm, slashed it fiercely, and said, "Kill!" β
"Oh?" When Lu Chen heard this, his expression froze.
Liu Yuan explained: "Zhongli this person, although he is the Marquis of Zhennan, but he is selfish and greedy, he is willing to submit to the king, it is completely conditional, and it is also to take charge of Qingdi, if this person is not removed, sooner or later he will become a disaster!" After the king ruled the world, he had military power in his hands, and if he was a little unsatisfactory, he might rebel! β
"En......" Lu Chen narrowed his eyes, and then waved his hand and said: "This king understands what you mean, you go down first and call Sima Wen over." β
"Yes." Liu Yuan retreated.
After he left, not long after, Sima Wen also walked in, bowed his hand in the same way, and asked the same question: "I don't know what the king summoned Weichen?" β
Lu Chen glanced at him and said directly: "Zhongli, this person, his heart is uncertain, this king is afraid of future troubles, and he wants to kill him quickly, what do you think?" β
Hearing this, Sima Wen hurriedly said: "The king can't kill Zhongli, this person surrenders to the will, although it is criticized, but he took the initiative to give up Hanyu Pass, welcome our army Pingzhou Army into the pass, and have the merit of pacifying the Southern Barbarians, in terms of the nation, now, he is also known as a hero among the people, if the king kills him, I am afraid of the hearts of the people." β
After hearing this, Lu Chen first closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then waved his hand again and said, "Okay, this king knows, you go down first and call Chen Qun over." β
"Wechen retired." Sima Wen bowed and retreated.
After a while, Chen Qun also walked in, and like the two in front of him, he first saluted, and then asked, "What does the king command?" β
Lu Chen said: "Now half of the Qingdi has been pacified by our army, and the Qingguo is only one of the Yue Heng, what do you think of Zhongli?" β
When Chen Qun heard this, he first rolled his eyes, and then asked tentatively, "What does the king mean is to kill this person?" β
"What do you think?" Lu Chen asked rhetorically.
Chen Qun thought for a while and said, "Zhongli is this person, on the condition of Qinghou, to submit to the king." If after pacifying the world, the king really let him take charge of the green land, I am afraid that he will stand on his own! My Central Plains Empire, if it is reunified by the king, there should be no more monarchs in the world, and there can only be one emperor! That's you, the king! β
"You mean, kill them?" Lu Chen asked in a condensed voice.
But after hearing this, Chen Qun was embarrassed again: "But if you kill him now to get rid of future troubles, there will be more disadvantages......
When he said it, Lu Chen couldn't help frowning, and said with slight displeasure: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, this king will beat you to death!" β
"Huh? Yes, yes, yes. Chen Qun was taken aback, and hurriedly lowered his body slightly and said: "In the opinion of Wei Chen, the king should use it first and then kill it." β
"Use it first, then kill it?" When Lu Chen heard this, his heart moved.
Chen Qun explained: "Yes, the king, Zhongli, as the Marquis of Zhennan, he has an absolute deterrent power in the Nanban, and if he wants to completely eliminate the disaster of the Nanban, he also needs this person, the king might as well make him the Qinghou first, let him lead the army, continue to go south, go deep into the barren land, and completely defeat the Nanban and dare not go north, or in other words, completely eliminate the Nanban, and then make a decision." β
"En......" Lu Chen nodded slowly, then showed a smile and said, "What you said is in line with the king's intentions, so let's do it." β
Lu Chen consulted the opinions of the three strategists, and the advice of the three was different, and in the end, he adopted Chen Qun's suggestion, and immediately wrote a royal edict and passed it to Zhongli.
The current Zhongli, because he had just driven away the Southern Barbarian army, was still in the southern part of Qingguo.
Now the southern part of Qingguo, although it is not occupied by the Wind Army, in a practical sense, it already belongs to Lu Chen, and it is owned by Qingwang, and there is only the central belt.
The land of the Zhongli garrison.
Jiang Tong stood directly above, unfolded Lu Chen's edict, and began to read aloud: "Zhongli receives the decree~~~"
The tents will kneel down one after another.
"The king's edict, sealed, Zhongli as the green marquis, given the green land, see it with the gift of the princes, and in addition, immediately lead the army to the south to pacify the southern barbarian ......"
At first, when he heard the front, Zhongli was overjoyed, but when he heard the back, his brows also furrowed deeply. Read the latest chapter of "Conquering the World Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
