Today is the beginning of spring, but for Shengle City in the Northland, the shadow of spring has not yet been seen, and the tail of the cold winter is still here.

Shengle City is located in the north of the Jin Kingdom, almost under the Tianduan Mountain Range, hundreds of years ago, the wild people could still jump from time to time to trouble the Three Jin Dynasty, Shengle City once played the role of the bridgehead of the Jin Kingdom.

However, that was a long time ago, and now, from the western section of the Tianduan Mountain Range to the middle section of this section, the wild man is no longer in the climate, only the eastern section and the snowfield further north still carry the pressure of the wild man, and that section of the area is in charge of the Situ family.

In the eyes of the people of Sanjin, Shengle City is a poor place.

One is that the geography is too remote, and the other is too far north, and the climate is extreme for most of the people in the Yan and Jin kingdoms who live in the north all year round.

But Shengle City is not not lively, in the early years it was a battlefield, in the past hundred years, with the continuous decline of savages, so that it has become a trade transit station, when there was no war before, it is a bit exaggerated to say that this is a busy traffic, but there is absolutely no desertion at all.

Right now, there are five people sitting in the box on the second floor of a restaurant in Shengle City.

The one who sits on the first seat is the patriarch of the Shengle City clan - the bald inheritance.

On his left-hand side is a literati man of about thirty years old, dressed as a literati, but his face is weathered and has the appearance of premature aging.

His surname is Zhou Zhengwen, and he was a counselor of the Helian family, and was arranged by the Helian family to take care of business here for seven years.

Sitting on the right hand side of the bald hair is a big man with a fur on his body, and the big man has a lot of pigtails on his head, which hang down, and the skin is exposed, full of tattoos, which is the standard savage dress, named Xiong Lie.

War is the most cruel way of integration, and in the Tianduan Mountains in this area, many savage settlements have changed their surnames and gradually "Jinhua", and they will also come down the mountain to do business.

Sitting opposite, there is a man and a woman, the man is wearing a cloak, the woman is young and beautiful, both of them are the big shopkeepers of the two major local commercial houses, it can be said that the five people here are the five most famous in Shengle City.

After three rounds of drinking, the bald successor opened the conversation:

"Heh, I thought I could continue to watch the excitement, who knew that this Yan man could fight like this."

Zhou Zhengwen nodded and agreed:

"Indeed, I thought that the Yan people were fighting the country, but the old family owner and the head of the Wen family teamed up to take the opportunity to cut a piece of meat from the Yan people, who knew that it would be the opposite...... Alas......"

Tian Wujing's 200,000 iron horsemen entered the Jin Dynasty by means of the road, destroying the two major families in one fell swoop, like a hurricane, directly sweeping most of the land of the Three Jin Dynasty.

The people below didn't seem to have come back to their senses, and they suddenly looked up, and the sky had changed!

Zhou Zhengwen originally had the Helian family behind him, and in this Shengle City, it can be said that he is a unique figure, and all the forces in Shengle City have to bow down and be small in front of him.

Now that the Helian family has fallen, he Zhou Zhengwen has become a younger brother in an instant, but fortunately, he still has some power in Shengle City, and he has accepted some refugees from the Helian family, and his strength has been supplemented, otherwise he is really not qualified to sit at this table.

"Something to say."

Xiong Lie urged while nibbling on the leg of mutton.

The bald heirs didn't mind the rudeness of this barbarian, in fact, they might have been an ancestor hundreds of years ago.

Whether it is the Yan State, the Chu State or the Jin State, the beginning recorded in their own history books is that the ancestors led their troops to the feudal country to resist the invasion of barbarians, savages, and Shanyue at the order of the Great Xia Son.

The fact is that the Chu State was actually very small at the beginning, and that place was basically the territory of the Shanyue tribes, but after hundreds of years of pioneering and conquering, the original owners, the Shanyue people, could only fight guerrillas in the rainforest swamps.

And the original savages are not born to like to climb mountains and love to live in the mountains, they are the masters in the real sense of the original land of Sanjin.

However, it took hundreds of years ago by the Yu clan to break into the Tianduan Mountain Range.

From the Helian family to the bald family, they were originally born as savages, but they have been assimilated into the Jin Dynasty for hundreds of years, so they naturally don't regard themselves as savages, but as Jin people.

The Helian family is the best mixed among the naturalized family, and they began to "whitewash" their origins very early.

learned from the royal family of Chu and began to make up fairy tales for his ancestors.

There is only one theme, you can say that my ancestors were born of a phoenix, a sacred cow, a divine eagle, no matter what kind of beast god it is, just don't mention to me that it was born as a savage!

The bald heir said:

"Presumably everyone has also received the news, ten days ago, Yu Huacheng, the younger brother of the Yu family, that is, the younger brother of the Sword Saint, villained the emperor and wanted to hunt down the emperor, but the emperor was rescued by the Yan people, and then the Nanhou of the Yan people led the army to level the land of Gyeonggi."

"I already knew." Xiong Lie shouted.

The bald successor pressed his hand and said:

"How about Emperor Jin, it doesn't really have much to do with us, but from beginning to end, the Situ family didn't say a word, what does this mean, have you thought about it?"

"What do you mean?" Xiong Lie continued to shout.

In fact, this savage, who seems to be rude, is actually as meticulous as a hair, and he has four or five settlements in his hands to take care of the business.

At this time, the woman named Ning Cuicui, the chief shopkeeper of Ning's firm, spoke:

"It means that although the Situ family has established the country and become the emperor, they don't seem to have any plans to start a war with the Yan people."

Xiong Lie smiled, took a sip of wine from the wine bowl, and said disdainfully:

"That's the Situ family."

Zhou Zhengwen said: "The problem is here, the Situ family can be instigated, can retreat, and can temporarily avoid the Yan people, so what about us?" ”

All the people sitting there were silent.

yes

The Yan people suddenly entered the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, so that these local snakes directly panicked, and fell into the situation of the six gods and no owner, although Shengle City was bitter and poor, but the bitter people were the heads of the common people, and they were all full of oil one by one.

Therefore, they instinctively wanted to keep their position and keep the current situation of Shengle City, coupled with the sense of panic about the Yan people, so that when they learned that the Situ family had founded the country "Dacheng", they quickly responded, directly anyway, controlled Shengle City, and at the same time sent people to the Situ family.

The Situ family reacted quickly, and immediately stamped the will of the emperor of Dachengguo, and everyone was made generals and officials.

Then, the Situ family didn't move.

When the Yan people entered the land of Jinggi in the Jin Kingdom, killed Yu Huacheng, and the Situ family continued to watch from the wall, many powerful clans reacted.

That's not right!

They were jumping and having fun here, thinking that the army of the Situ family was about to enter, and who was the master of the land of the Three Jin Dynasty could fight again, fight again!

But now it's equivalent to someone seducing you, and you are also wearing a red apricot and sitting on the wall, only to find out that people are teasing you!

What the fuck is going to do?

"In front of us, there are actually two paths, one is to move into the territory of the Situ family." Zhou Zhengwen said.

"What can we be without Shengle City?" Ning Cuicui immediately shouted.

Here, they are the head snakes of the land, but without this, they can only be a relatively large group of displaced people.

Zhou Zhengwen nodded, and said: "This second article is that we also take the initiative to send people to Yan Guo to feel the situation, posture, you can lower it a little, the previous matter, you can push it to a small family to give Yan people an explanation, and then let Yan people send a city guard over to meaning, so that Yan people get face, we get the lining, everyone is happy."

In fact, no matter what, whether it was when the old master was in the past, the Situ family came, or the Yan people came, if they wanted to manage this Shengle City, they had to rely on us. ”

"Mr. Zhou is reasonable, reasonable, but you also have to look at the posture of the Yan people, if everyone is harmonious, and the Yan people don't plan to come to the real thing, then how about we give the Yan people a face?" Bald Inheritance said.

"Maybe, the Yan people will let us go here, hey." Xiong Lie said, and then, he laughed again, and said: "It's also a happy death person, it was you who got together and said that you wanted to raise the banner against Yan and take refuge in the Situ family, and now you are here to say that the Situ family is unreliable, and the Yan people may be coming."

I said, can you have some fun? ”

The bald heir snorted coldly and said:

"You're not afraid, anyway, if the Yan soldiers and horses really come, you can take your people and the caravan to hide in the mountains immediately, what about us?"

Xiong Lie wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth disapprovingly, and said:

"Together with our Holy Clan, we naturally like to live in the mountains, eight hundred years ago, this was our Holy Clan's territory!

However, don't be afraid, don't feel how torturous it is to live in the mountains and flee now, after a long time, you will actually get used to it. ”

The barbarians claim to be barbarians too, because in the eyes of barbarians, the word "barbarian" carries an affirmation of strength.

But the savages do not call themselves savages, but call themselves saints, although they know that the whole East, even the West, calls them savages.

After squeezing the bald succession, Xiong Lie stood up and said;

"Go ahead and I'll go back first."

He is a person who has a way out, and he is also a confident person, there is a freight yard in Shengle City, there are hundreds of armed people in it, and other forces do not dare to provoke him easily, after all, everyone is for money, offending him, it is equivalent to offending a wild man settlement in the nearby mountains, how can this business continue?

Xiong Lie, who left the restaurant, went back to his own yard directly, there were a lot of mountain goods piled up in it, and there were many cages containing demon beasts, these demon beasts were not lethal, and they were placed in the next generation, that is, the feeling of pet dogs and pet cats.

When Xiong Lie entered the backyard, he saw a young man teasing one of his favorite green eagles.

This is also a kind of demon beast, the feathers are cyan, and it is the incarnation of the legendary "blue bird", which can be domesticated and humane.

This green eagle is in excellent condition, it is Xiong Lie's love, ordinary people are ready to touch it, but this young man is holding a bamboo stick and pulling it there casually.

Xiong Lie didn't get angry at all, but took the initiative to kneel down on one knee,

Road:

"Master Zheng, the slave is back."

Zheng Fan turned around, looked at Xiong Lie who was kneeling on the ground, and said:

"I've told you a few times, don't be so polite, everyone is their own people."

"Don't waste your courtesy!"

"Heh, then you have to wait at least until I really take Shengle City, and then salute so seriously, now you should let me and you pretend to be a corporal of Lixian, it's okay to make a blood alliance, you have given me a jump, it's not good."

"........." Xiong Lie.

At this time, the blind man walked out from behind Zheng Fan, looked at Xiong Lie, and asked:

"What's the attitude of those guys?"

"Mr. Huibei's words, those families are now very afraid of your Yan people, and they are ready to send people to you to surrender, but look at what they mean, the Yan people can send an official to rule here in name, but the real managers are still themselves."

When the blind man heard this, he nodded and said, "It's reasonable." ”

It is too difficult and unrealistic to get those with vested interests to give up their own interests.

"They're thinking a little bit beautiful." Zheng Fan threw the bamboo stick in his hand on the ground, picked up the teacup next to him, took a sip, and continued: "Children only make choices, and I want to save face." ”

The blind man immediately sent a very perfunctory sycophant:

"The word of the Lord is very true!"

At this time, Xiong Lie spoke:

"Lord Zheng, Mr. Bei, the letter from the Sixth Prince just arrived in the morning."

"What did he say in his letter?" Zheng Fan asked.

No one will know how big Xiao Liuzi's business was at the beginning, even if Emperor Yan made a will, all the business on the surface was handed over to the household department, but the influence of this thing is not something that is dispersed.

For example, this Xiong Lie, who was a savage slave at the beginning, was sold into the Yan Kingdom, was accepted by the Six Princes, and after some picking, he let him go back to the Jin Kingdom, returned to Shengle City, and funded him to establish contact with Shengle City while contacting some savage settlements near the mountain range, and after a few years, he has become a very influential figure here in Shengle City.

Before Zheng Fan was named Shengle City Punctuality, Xiao Liuzi mentioned Xiong Lie in the letter and said, you can use it.

But there is a premise, if you want to use it safely, you have to have enough soldiers and horses to shock him, and with this as the premise, he will willingly repay the favor.

This time, Zheng Fan had more than 2,000 regular troops in the suburbs outside Shengle City, and more than 2,000 Jin puppet troops.

To tell the truth, if you don't consider the losses, you can attack the city, although the major trading houses in Shengle City and some local clans can also pull out thousands of people, but how can they be divided and hold the city?

However, if you can not attack the city, it is better not to attack the city, and seeing that it is about to turn over, Zheng Fan does not want to lose too much capital before the dawn of hope.

"Lord Zheng, the master said two things in the letter, one is to let the slave listen to Lord Zheng's words and do things."

"What about the other one?"

"The host said that he was grateful to Lord Zheng for sending several carts of cornmeal to Yanjing more than a month ago, and the host said that he had eaten wowotou for a month."
