Outside the Jiankang Tingwei Mansion, a bustling crowd gathered.

The gentlemen in Jiankang City can be said to have gathered together and were carried out of the prison, and then discarded at the door at will.

Although he had only spent half a month in the Tingwei Mansion, Chen Ba felt that he had spent two years.

Under Wei Ran's instructions, this group of gentlemen ate pig food and drank swill every day, and it was not okay if they didn't drink it, and the cows didn't drink water and pressed their heads.

Now they finally saw the light of day, but they all had to crawl on the ground because their legs were broken.

What's even more infuriating is that Wei Ran also invited an imperial doctor for them in prison, and the caring and pitying eyes of this group of imperial doctors made this group of sons and brothers feel extra warm.

But then the imperial doctor's words made the faces of this group of sons and brothers lose blood in an instant.

"It's not good, these legs are infected, if they are not cut off by the roots, I am afraid that the whole body will be harmed."

Under the vigorous and resolute style of this group of imperial doctors, this group of gentlemen didn't even have their legs.

Outside the Tingwei Mansion, this group of expectant family members never came to pick them up.

Chen Ba's father, Chen Xian, the Duke of Dingguo, only dared to scream in the distance, looking at Chen Ba who was prostrate on the ground and lost his legs, his heart was also mixed.

He cursed Wei Ran in his heart, but he was helpless, because he knew that as long as he dared to go up and say a word to his son, the Imperial Forest Army would raid his home.

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Dingguo Gong wants to see it, you can go and see it now, or you can go and give your son some money, but this is King Qin's last tolerance." ”

Chen Xianmeng turned around, and the person who came didn't know him, but judging from his clothing habits, he was not a person from the Southern Dynasties.

"I am Duan Weiyang, the assassin of Qingzhou, and I am currently the deputy commander of the Tianxiong Army." After Duan Weiyang briefly introduced himself, he added: "Dingguo Gong has many children, although Chen Ba is the eldest son, but he is not the only son, King Qin also said, if Chen Ba can rely on his own ability to live for three months, then you can also take him back to raise, the reason why I want to do this now is also to let everyone in Daqi know that rules are rules, and no one can be disobedient!" ”

Looking at Duan Weiyang who was far away, Chen Ba hurried to the gate of Tingwei's mansion and felt distressed when he saw his son.

"Daddy, daddy, my legs! was cut by Wei Ran, a bastard! ”

Hearing his son's pig-like scream, Chen Xianqi slapped Chen Ba in the face: "Rebel son, if you hadn't drunk too much horse urine and had to go to other people's mourning halls to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, where would there be today, my father came here today to inform you that now you are no longer the prince of Dingguo Mansion." ”

Then Chen Xian threw fifty taels of silver on Chen Ba and scolded: "King Qin said, I am not allowed to give you a penny, let you fend for yourself, I can't bear it for my father, fifty taels of silver is enough for the people for several years, you can do it yourself." ”

Looking at Chen Xian, who turned around and left without looking back, Chen Ba passed out directly.

After Wei Ran's mother's funeral, Wei Ran, who reappeared in the court, was even more angry between his eyebrows.

In the court, the style of the past was changed, and the officials in Jiankang City were rectified in a drastic way, and Wei Ran was beaten lightly and raided at worst, and the public security was much better for a while.

At the same time, Wei Ran also ordered to assassinate the history of the states, and rectified the children of the officials in the states, among which Cui Huan was particularly active, and the Yongzhou, Jingzhou, Jiangzhou, Yingzhou, and Sizhou under Cui He's jurisdiction were in violation of the imperial court's orders, and now that he had the opportunity, Cui Huan naturally would not let go, and killed hundreds of people in half a decade, and rectified the officialdom of the four states, and at the same time recruited outstanding students from Jiankang Taixue to make up for the official vacancies.

In the same month, Xiao Ju issued an order to add Zhang Zemao as the Sikong, the governor of Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and the military of the three states of South Yuzhou, and moved from Jiankang to Hefei, and began to recruit troops in the land of Sanzhou, requiring the recruitment of 30,000 troops to form a good army, which means to be brave and good at fighting.

All the Huainan troops in Hefei were transferred to Shouchun, the Shouchun army was transferred to Pengcheng, and the troops of Pengcheng were transferred to Xiapi and Xiaopei, so as to carry out a strategic change of defense, and at the same time train the navy on a large scale in Guangling to build ships.

Naturally, Nanqi's actions did not escape the eyes and ears of Eastern Qin, and now Min Shiyuan, who stayed behind in Luoyang, was keenly aware of Wei Ran's ambitions, and Wei Ran must have tried to plot the land of Qingzhou, so Min Shiyuan immediately transferred troops from Hebei to Luoyang, and at the same time ordered Duan Bechen, the assassin of Qingzhou, to send troops to garrison as soon as possible, in case the army of Southern Qi came from the sea.

Just when Min Shiyuan made a series of strategic deployments, Yuwenzhi suddenly went out of Tongguan and conquered Hongnong in one fell swoop, and immediately after looting around Hongnong, he forcibly relocated more than 30,000 people back to Tongguan.

After Han Jiu'er returned from the Turks, although he commanded Wancheng with troops, he was not idle, and when Yuwen sent troops to Hongnong, he also went around to Taihang Mountain, plundered the residents of the three towns and returned, and at the same time burned all the farmland outside Jinyang.

Zhao Zhao was furious, did not ask the imperial court, and directly sent Jinyang's troops to forcibly pursue Han Jiu'er, but in Taihang Mountain's own territory was ambushed by Han Jiu'er, the two sides started a big battle, Zhao Zhao was defeated, only to be spared, fled back to Jinyang in embarrassment, and since then he has not been able to go out, and apologized to Min Guanshang.

After Min Guan of Yecheng learned of the situation, he was so angry that he almost smashed the table, one was that Qi Zhao Zhao was angry and forcibly pursued, resulting in the loss of the elite, and the other was that Qi Xiqin was now like a robber, acting almost the same as the Turks.

After thinking about it, Min Guan, in the name of Emperor Yuanjiao, sent a letter of state to Southern Qi, asking the two sides to agree on a date to march into Western Qin together.

After Wei Ran received the letter, he immediately transferred Cui He from Yongzhou to Jiankang, and Liu Renye from Xuzhou to Jiankang, and several people discussed the matter together in Shangyuan Palace.

After more than half a year of cultivation and recuperation, the national strength of Southern Qi has recovered, and in the face of Eastern Qin's invitation, Wei Ran did have some intentions.

Wei Ran's eyes have been on the land of Liangchuan recently, in order to quell the rebellion of the Six Kings, Wei Ran deliberately released Xichuan to Yuanshan, and now that more than two years have passed, it is time to recover the land of Liangchuan.

Cui Huan analyzed at this time: "Now our army has two desirable places, one of which is the two rivers and Wancheng, once the land of the two rivers is occupied, our army can threaten Hanzhong at any time, if Hanzhong is lost, the door of the West Qin is wide open, out of Chencang, can coerce Chang'an." ”

Wei Ran nodded, and then asked, "What about the second?" ”

"The second is to pretend to agree to the alliance, so that the whale swallows Qingzhou, Qingzhou is a big land, recently with the governance of the Xianbei people, the people are not happy, the people are resentful, I am the division of the king of Qi, once landed in Qingzhou, a few days can reach Licheng, at this time the East Qin is marching west, there will be no time to look south, not to mention that Min Guan just wants to use us to contain the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou Sizhou and Qinzhou, they can take the opportunity to capture Tongguan, Hanguguan and other places, and seize the opportunity."
