Yes, a big man like Lu Sicheng, who has already become famous all over the world, would rather surrender to the Chu army in the end. Then how could this King of Chu be a mediocre person.

Not to mention anything else, it can be seen from the rise of the king of Chu in the past few years. The rise of this Chu king is simply irresistible.

It's too unspending, and Badulu and others can be regarded as unique people in any place. But when they met this king of Chu, they all fell into the sand.

A person like this, even if he can't occupy the world in the end and finally ascend to the supreme position, then it is definitely not a problem to be called a lonely person by separating one side.

After figuring this out, Lu Tiange's heart couldn't help but make a choice and decision.

So in the next, Lu Tiange and Wang Zhengyang discussed secretly in the study for a long time. Wang Zhengyang, who had a national character face and looked righteous and awe-inspiring, left Lu Tiange's mansion with his entourage in the middle of the night.

"Hey!" Sitting in a sedan chair, Wang Zhengyang, who was walking on the way home, couldn't help but sigh.

"Which King of Chu can finally achieve great things?" Sitting in the sedan chair, Wang Zhengyang whispered softly in a voice that only he could hear, "Who knows." But at least compared to others, which king of Chu is more like a benevolent person. At least surrender to him, and the people of Yuanling will suffer less from a military disaster. ”

In the sedan chair, Wang Zhengyang muttered like this, and then couldn't help but close his eyes, sit in the sedan chair and close his eyes to recuperate.

After all, he, Wang Zhengyang, is not Zhuge Kongming, where can he have the ability to judge whether a person can achieve great things in the end based on rumors alone.

Tonight, the reason why he, Wang Zhengyang, would do this was nothing more than unbearable. I don't want to see Lu Tiange, the governor of the state, do something wrong, and just drag the people of the whole city to be punished with him.

As for the rest, huh. Take one step at a time, maybe this is the real idea in Wang Zhengyang's heart.

Okay, let's not talk about what this judge of Chenzhou Road thinks in his heart. Shan said that he used it as an example, and finally used it to move Lu Xiang, Lu Sicheng, the head of Chenzhou Road.

After surrendering Zhang Shihua with a complicated and unspeakable mood, Lu Sicheng now really wants to assist Zhang Shihua wholeheartedly.

After all, a person like Lu Sicheng, who has been a clear stream for most of his life, actually attaches great importance to his personal reputation. Therefore, only after Zhang Shihua achieved the great cause of expelling the Tatars and recovering China, will future generations not despise him for his surrender.

So when he and the army went south to the southernmost station on Changde Road, he also took the three hundred elite guards that Zhang Shihui had assigned to him from the army the next morning, and went south along the Yuanjiang River.

Then, he hurried non-stop, and at noon on the second day after departure, he couldn't help but come to the outside of Yuanling City. And this day was the eighteenth day of the third month of the fifteenth year of the Solstice.

……

As the envoy of the Chu army to negotiate, the left prime minister of the original Huguang Province, and now the right prime minister of the Huguang Province under the rule of the Chu army, the famous Wenzong Confucian. Lu Sicheng's arrival undoubtedly made the Miao army both nervous and happy.

What was nervous was Lu Sicheng's name in the land of Huguang, and the army of more than 20,000 behind him. The joy is that a figure like Lu Sicheng can come in person this time, which makes them understand that they are also very valued by the Chu army.

Therefore, in such a complex mentality, Yang Keng, the commander of the Miao army, also took out a heavy etiquette, and personally took his generals to the camp ten miles away to welcome Lu Sicheng's arrival.

"Lu Xiang. Yang Keng, a younger generation, has seen Lu Xiang! When he saw Lu Sicheng's carriage slowly coming, and saw the three hundred elites guarding Lu Sicheng around him, who could be said to be armed to the teeth, Yang Keng, who was the commander of the Miao army and would also be the future master of Banzhou, couldn't help but take the initiative to turn over and dismount and salute forward.

"Haha, Lu has also met General Xiao Yang." At this time, Lu Sicheng naturally did not hold it up, but returned the salute with a smile, and couldn't help but say: "Hehe, when I saw him today, General Xiao Yang was really heroic." It's really a tiger father without a dog! ”

Lu Xiangmu praised. My father said that I was just a housekeeper. With one skill, he can barely keep the ancestral inheritance, which is really not worthy of Lu Xiang's praise. ”

"Oh! Hahahaha. The little general was too modest. Don't we often say, 'It's easy to fight the country, but it's hard to defend the country'. ”

"Hehe, Lu Xiangshu laughed. Lu Xiang, you came from afar, and it was really hard. And this is not a place for conversation. Now, in my tent, I have prepared wine and food for Lu Xiang. If Lu Xiangru doesn't dislike it, he is willing to enjoy a meal with his juniors. ”

"The general is polite, so this time Lu will not be polite. Hahahaha. The two of them were like acquaintances, talking sharply. Then they couldn't help but accompany each other and rushed to the camp where the Miao army was located.

And after coming to the camp, Yang Keng asked people to take out enough wine and food to entertain the three hundred elite soldiers who were responsible for protecting Lu Sicheng. Then he took Lu Sicheng and several of Lu Sicheng's personal guards and walked into his Chinese army tent.

Then, after walking into this spacious tent, when the two sides were seated, Yang Keng clapped his hands, and all kinds of delicacies and fine wines could not help but be served.

"Lu Xiang, please!" I have to say that as the son of Yang's Tusi and the future heir of Banzhou, Yang Keng, who is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, is not as good as Zhang Shihua. But compared to most of his peers, he undoubtedly seems much calmer.

For example, at this time, although Yang Keng's heart was not lacking in nervousness and anxiety, he still couldn't see it at all in his complexion. Calm and heavy, he has his own set of receiving people and things, but it will not be underestimated.

However, compared with the calm and heavy, Lu Sicheng, who has been up and down in the Huan Sea for decades, is naturally far superior to Yang Keng, a young man.

Therefore, after three rounds of drinking, Yang Keng, who was anxious and had no intention of continuing to play with Lu Sicheng, couldn't help but speak first: "Lu Xiang, you are Keng's elder." Then in front of you, Keng will have something to say. ”

"Oh, good. The general has something to say, and even though he says it. Seeing this, Lu Sicheng smiled slightly, and couldn't help but put down the wine glass in his hand.

……

There is a saying that 'two flowers bloom, one branch for each'. At this time, let's not talk about basically Lu Sicheng's basically impossible failure, and then let's go back to Jiangling's side at this time.

On the afternoon of March 18 of the 15th year of Zheng, one afternoon in Jiangling, on the north side of the city, two men dressed as a military general and a civil official couldn't help but ride a war horse with nearly 100 horsemen to the capital of the Great Chu at this time.

"Is this Gangneung? The scenery is really different from the northland! Looking up at this majestic city, the thin middle-aged man who was also riding a war horse and dressed as a civil official couldn't help but smile and stroked his beard.

"Yes, this is really a majestic city!" For the words of the middle-aged civil official, the dark-skinned and majestic military general beside him couldn't help but echo him.

Then, the two of them chatted a few words again, and then they couldn't help but ride their war horses and enter the city of the two. Obviously, these two people are generals under Da Chu.

As for why the faces of these two men were so unfamiliar, that the soldiers guarding the city gate had never seen them. is because the two have been guarding the Northland for a long time, and it is not until today, after Zhang Shihua appointed a new successor, that they returned from the Northland.

Yes, the military general is Zhao Er, the Wanhu official who has been guarding the north for a long time, and the civil official is Li Chongsan, who has been guarding the north for a long time.

Now, after becoming king, Zhang Shihua has set the capture of Huguang as his primary strategic goal. Under such circumstances, it is naturally difficult for old people like Zhao Er and Li Chongsan to continue to be placed in the north.

Therefore, after appointing Zhao Er's deputy general Zhou Tie as Xiangyang and Bianliang Wanhu, and then letting Wang Le, a more talented and older demoted official, take over Li Chongsan's class and continue to serve as the governor of Xiangyang and Bianliang. Zhang Shihua also transferred these two people back from the north.

And for this, Zhao Er and Li Chongsan were also excited in their hearts.

After all, in Dachu, seniority is never equal to everything, merit and ability are everything. Under such circumstances, Zhao Erhua and Li Chongsan were naturally a little tired of the relatively peaceful days in the north. Among them, especially Zhao Er. You must know that as a military general, if he can't go to the battlefield, then he doesn't feel that his existence has much meaning.

Therefore, after coming back, the two couldn't help but come directly to the palace of the king of Chu, waiting for their king's summons.

"Two adults, the king announces the audience of the two adults in the study." In a side hall of the Chu Palace, a eunuch came here and conveyed Zhang Shihua, that is, the royal order of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, to the two people who were waiting in the room.

In this regard, Zhao Er and Li Chongsan in the room looked at each other, and then they couldn't help but carefully sort out their clothes again. Then Fang followed the eunuch and rushed to the study where Zhang Shihua was.

It is said that acquaintances should be happy and relaxed when they meet again after a long time apart. But now, when Zhao Er and Li Chongsan, the two old men of Dachu who followed Zhang Shihua before Zhang Shihua raised his army, saw their lord and king again after their lord was crowned king, his mood was both happy and nervous.

Yes. The ass decides the head, and this saying obviously worked in those days.

When their lord, from an anti-thief leader, turned into the king of Chu, and had all the prestige and rights that a king should have. Zhao Er and Li Chongsan, two subordinates, naturally had a sense of awe in their hearts.

So when they followed the eunuch to the study where Zhang Shihua was, the two of them couldn't help but bow respectfully and knelt on the ground, and shouted in unison: "Minister Zhao Er (Li Chongsan), meet the king." My king Chitose, Chitose, Chitose! ”

"Hehe, you guys. You have followed this king for so many years, starting from nothing, which is equivalent to the heart of this king, why should you be like outsiders, do such a false courtesy. Seeing this, Zhang Shihua, the king of Chu, said with a smile, and then couldn't help but go around the table in unison and help the two of them up from the ground with his own hands.

And for this, while the two of them were grateful, they couldn't help but look a little panicked on their faces. The words are sincere and fearful, and what I want to describe is what the two of them look like now.

"Someone. Quick, sit for the two of Zhao Er and Chongsan. Seeing this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but greet again with a smile.

"Yes, slave and maid obey!" Hearing Zhang Shihua's order, a eunuch in the house also hurriedly agreed. Then he quickly brought stools for Zhao Er and Li Chongsan.

"Thank you, King Xie." Seeing this, the two thanked them again. Then he respectfully put half of his ass on the stool.

Then, when the two of them sat down, Zhang Shihua waved his hand to bring tea for them, and after taking a sip of tea, he said to the two of them with a smile: "What." How do you feel about being alone in Xiangyang all these years? ”

"Uh...... If you go back to the king, it feels good. It's just that there are few wars, and the muscles and bones are a little unbearable. Zhao Er and Zhang Shihua were closer, so at this time, in the face of Zhang Shihua's question, he first smiled and answered.

"Hahaha, you kid." Hearing Zhao Er's words, behind the table, Zhang Shihua, who was dressed in the Nine Chapters King Uniform, couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry." This time, I asked you to summon Xiao Er, but there is a place for you. ”

"Hahaha, so, thank the king." Zhao Er said, and couldn't help but get up and bend down to Zhang Shihua and salute.

Seeing this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help waving his hand, scolding with a smile, and couldn't help but turn his gaze to Li Chongsan on the side again.

When Li Chongsan saw this, he couldn't help but stand up, clasped his fists and saluted: "Back to the king's words, over the years, his subordinates have felt sincerely afraid. ”

"Honestly scared!?"

"His subordinates are shallow in their learning, and the king loves his subordinates so much, and his subordinates are promoted to be alone, and his subordinates are really afraid in their hearts. I'm afraid that it will not be done well, which will damage the king's wisdom of knowing people. When he said this, Li Chongsan's face was solemn, and he didn't show any fraud.

Therefore, in this regard, Zhang Shihua nodded silently, and couldn't help but admire: "If you can have this heart, you can be called a model for people." ”

"The king praises falsely, and the ministers are afraid!" Suddenly, hearing Zhang Shihua say this, Li Chongsan couldn't help but kneel on the ground again.

In this regard, Zhang Shihua smiled and couldn't help but help lifting him up from the ground again, "You." Don't you know that excessive modesty is pride? This time, I'm bringing you here, but I want you to help me. It's not good that you're being overly modest. ”

"The king taught me a lesson. Please rest assured that your subordinates will assist the king wholeheartedly! Li Chongsan, who abides by the courtesy of a minister and strictly abides by the duty of a courtier, heard Zhang Shihua say such a thing, and in his reply, he couldn't help but be unspeakably excited.
