Meal.

The soldiers reported that Zhang Liang asked to see him.

"The prince of Changping is here, sit."

As soon as Zhang Liang came in, he saluted very respectfully, and when he heard Luo Cheng call him the prince of Changping County with a smile, Zhang Liang was still a little excited. He was not a farmer in Xingyang County, he was really born in Caomang.

Later, he went to Qi County to join the army, and Luo Cheng valued him and was awarded the title of personal guard, and then became a captain step by step, and finally arranged for him to be in charge of intelligence affairs.

In the past few years, Zhang Liang has done a good job in intelligence work, and has been praised by Luo Cheng several times.

This time, Luo Cheng personally asked Zhang Liang for the title of founding duke of Changping County, which is unimaginable for a young man in his early thirties.

"Liang hasn't thanked the handsome for his promotion and reward."

"You deserve it, when you came to join my army, I told you, do a good job, I will never treat the brothers who follow me badly."

Zhang Liang was full of emotion, Luo Cheng was just a small county and county military captain, and now he used to be a small captain, and now he has become His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who is powerful all over the world, and he, a farmer who doesn't want to face the loess with his back to the sky all his life, now has to be crowned a county duke.

beckoned Zhang Liang to sit down.

Luo Cheng asked him, "Tell me about Chen Ling." ”

This time, Luo Cheng crossed the sea and went south, the first target was Chen Ling, and the second was to see if he could beat the rabbit with grass and take Li Yuan to him, who would have expected Li Yuan to run faster than the rabbit.

He was only at sea on his side, and Li Yuan had already seized a glimmer of life on his side, and he ran to Nanyang at once.

"Handsome, Chen Ling is a very good person."

Zhang Liang said.

can make Zhang Liang, a person who specializes in intelligence work, say that Chen Ling is indeed good.

"Then tell me, how is this Chen Ling a good way? Also, do you think we still have a chance to persuade him to surrender? ”

"Chen Ling's ancestors, in fact, are just ordinary people like my family, his family has lived in Xiang'an, Lujiang County for generations, his grandfather's name is Chen Shuo, he is a fisherman, and he barely lives a self-sufficient life by fishing and shrimping."

But when the Chen family reached Chen Ling's father's generation, it began to develop.

Chen Ling's father's name is Chen Xian, this person was also a fisherman when he was young, but he was very brave when he became an adult, and later joined the army and became the inner song of Fengzhou Thorn Shizhang Dabao.

This Zhang Dabao was greedy, and the local people were cruel, so Empress Chen sent the imperial servant Qing to replace him. And when the new assassin Shi arrived in the state, Dabao was unwilling, so he attacked and killed the new assassin Shi and raised troops to rebel.

It's just that although Dabao is more ruthless, he doesn't have much ability, and he was defeated soon after raising the army.

At this time, Chen Ling's father seized the opportunity to defect by Zhang Dabao's side, and captured Dabao and his general Yang Tong to the Chen Dynasty.

Originally, Chen Xian was only a personal officer of Zhang Dabao, but he suddenly became a thorn, and the son of a fisherman completed a gorgeous turn.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, although Chen Xian became a assassin, but soon Chen Houzhu made the country ruined, and the Sui Dynasty crossed the river to destroy the Chen Dynasty, Chen Xian didn't have long to be a assassin, and was removed from his post at home.

Later, Gao Zhizhi, Wang Wenjin and others launched a rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, disobeying the rule of the Sui Dynasty, and the heroes and strongmen in Lujiang also raised troops to echo, and the heroes and powers of Lujiang came to support Chen Xian as the leader.

Chen Xian was not optimistic about the rebellion of these people and wanted to refuse, but at this time, the young Chen Ling stood up and persuaded his father not to refuse.

He proved the wisdom of the young man when he said, "The rebellion of the people has begun, and if the father rejects them, they will attack him, and disaster will come." It is better to pretend to obey and then make a plan. ”

So Chen Xian pretended to accept everyone's recommendation and became the leader of the rebels in Lujiang County, but secretly, Chen Xian sent Chen Ling to meet with Li Che, the general of the Sui Dynasty, and said that the Chen family was willing to be the internal response.

At that time, there was a great chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, and powerful nobles from all over the country rebelled, and the surrender of Chen Xian's father and son naturally made Emperor Yang Jian, who was far away in Chang'an, very happy.

Therefore, Chen Xian was specially awarded the title of general, Xuanzhou Assassin History, and was named the Duke of Qianjun, with 1,000 households.

It can be said that the operation of the Chen family father and son is very sassy.

It's just a pity that before Li Che led the army to respond, this matter was leaked.

Chen Xian was killed by his rebels, and Chen Ling escaped with great difficulty, but later the Sui Dynasty did not forget the merits of the Chen family's father and son, so he awarded Chen Ling the title of opening the mansion and let him lead the local armed forces to support the court to quell the chaos.

Later, Yang Guangzhen guarded the Jiangdu, and Chen Ling was subordinate to him and was very trusted by him. When Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, Chen Ling was crowned as the general of the Tiger Benlang.

Later, he also led more than 10,000 Dongyang soldiers with Zhang Zhenzhou, sent troops to attack the Liuqiu country, killed the old model of the small Wang Huansi of the Liuqiu country, captured thousands of people and returned, this battle made the emperor very happy, thinking that he had a great contribution to the destruction of the enemy country, and promoted him to the right Guanglu doctor.

Since then, he has successively served as Donglai Liushou, Pengjun Taishou and other positions, promoted to Guanglu Doctor, sealed a letter to Anhou, and worshiped the right imperial guard general.

After the Jiangdu mutiny, because of the mutiny with Li Yuan, he killed the rebels, and was named one of the six auxiliary ministers by Empress Xiao.

"In this way, Chen Ling is indeed quite good, but what I see from the Chen Ling information you have collected is not a very wise person, such a person should not be a loyal person like Dugu Yu, have you come into contact with him?"

"I've been in contact with him, but his attitude is ambiguous, I always feel that this Chen Ling is also very hesitant, on the one hand, he feels that the son of heaven is kind to him, on the other hand, the Jiangdu court awarded him the title of duke, worship him as the prime minister, these are not clear. But on the one hand, we are now strong and strong, and he is also a little hesitant. ”

Luo Cheng just smiled when he heard this.

"At the end of the day, it's better to sell at the price. The situation was not very clear before, so Chen Ling still refused to vote for us. And now, we sent troops into the customs and won big victories one after another, so Chen Ling began to be moved again. ”

In this way, you send someone to contact Chen Ling again, and say that as long as he is willing to be attached, I will show him the son of heaven in Tokyo, and still crown him as Chen Guogong, and grant him the post of general of Zuo Wuwei, seal 500 households, give 1,200 acres of land, and give the prince and young master. ”

Luo Cheng didn't care too much about Chen Ling's rest, there were two key points, one was that he now represented the last rule of the Jiangdu Imperial Court in Jianghuai, if he was attached, Jianghuai would have no other forces of the Yang family.

Second, Luo Cheng was very interested in the fact that he had conquered the Liuqiu country, and as far as he knew, this Liuqiu country was actually the treasure island of Taiwan in later generations.

It was only six years since he conquered Liuqiu, and it was only seven years since now.

Luo Cheng is very interested in Liuqiuguo, so he attaches great importance to Chen Ling, who has fought Liuqiu and won victories, and if he has the opportunity, he hopes to send troops to Liuqiu again in the future to include this land in Haidong into the territory.
