Volume 2 The Rivers and Lakes in the Temple and Outside the Temple Chapter 128 The Sin of the Surname

The sin of surnames

Splashing ink, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances. Probably the emperor has a good hand, and the Holy Emperor is no exception, and his only spare time activity is probably to practice calligraphy.

A holy decree departed from Chang'an, and it had to go through twists and turns to reach his destination, Baichuan.

And after arriving at the destination, whether it can make people obey as in the past has to be questioned.

It was not a small eunuch or the chief administrator of the Great Interior who escorted the Holy Decree forward, but Chen Ping.

According to the words of the Holy Emperor, it is "a person like Chen Ping, if he is a little biased, it is no problem, and don't get involved in the affairs of the crown prince, this person is talented and a good courtier." This time, the Holy Emperor gave Chen Ping another chance.

Chen Pingcai came back from Anhe, and rushed to Baichuan non-stop.

He once thought that the Holy Emperor wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, and by the way, he found a suitable reason for a large-scale attack on Baichuan.

But when the decree arrived, he felt that he was thinking too much, and he spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Along with the decree came a small token with the word "Dragon Protection" on it. Of course, Chen Ping knew that the Holy Emperor didn't give a team of dragon guards to ensure his own safety, he was not that important.

The Holy Emperor wants him to act when he sees the opportunity, so as not to lose the prestige of the country.

Baichuan Chu's family, away from the three cities and for their own use.

Although there are only three cities, in terms of real strength, it is much stronger than Yue Di and Li Hui.

The more the land is reckless, and the highlands of Lihui Mountain are dangerous, but the people are aggressive and martial. Only Baichuan, whose business is flourishing, is not much more than that of Gunzhou.

Good profit, good at calculation, this is the characteristics of Baichuan.

The ancestor of the Chu family is of course the best among them.

After the left arm was broken, his strength was greatly reduced, and if he was fighting against soldiers on the battlefield, of course he was not afraid, but the problem was that the battle between the general and the general could determine the outcome on the battlefield.

His own strength is damaged, if the three grandmasters of the Han family fall into the ground, this Baichuan is only afraid that he will have to change his surname.

He thought about it, the Han family was at the foot of the imperial city, slaughtering the people, and sacrificing lamps with their lives, which was said to improve the realm. But what about his Chu family? Honestly, conscientiously guarding a family business, he has to be hot-headed and go to the emperor together, but now it's good, maybe the Han family is thinking about how to annex themselves!

There is no gap between himself and the Holy Dynasty, and when the officials of the Holy Dynasty come to Baichuan, he is very entertained, as for what those officials and the Holy Emperor say, and who they end up, it is not something he can decide. In his opinion, as long as he honestly admits his mistake, lowers his posture, and pays the annual taxes on time and in quantity, this Baichuan will let the Holy Emperor's people control it for a period of time, and at least keep most of the Chu family's power, glory and wealth.

During this period, the ancestor of the Han family of course came to Baichuan, and he "persuaded him with good words" and comforted him a few words, but he knew that this was an ultimatum. Everyone is old, who doesn't know who is a master who eats people and doesn't spit out bones?

The ancestor of the Chu family was very worried in his heart, this was not just a broken arm, but almost broke the Chu family.

He didn't even sleep well these days, for fear that when he fell asleep, the masters of the Han and Qin families would come to destroy their Chu family.

He had dreamed more than once in his sleep, dreaming that Qin Heizi, who had a black face and was honest and honest on weekdays, showed his ugly face and grinned at himself.

Because of this, he spent a huge price to catch Hao Lianying's line.

In the past few days, he has been waiting for news and has been paying attention to the movements in Yuezhou.

He knew that Xu Changan had returned to Shuofang, and he also heard the good news that Xu Changan was sharpening his knives and preparing to fight with real knives and guns.

This is not good news for Yuezhou, but for him, it is good news that can allow him to sleep peacefully for a few nights.

If Xu Changan really crossed the Chuijiang River in a big way, then Han Shihai, one of the three grandmasters of the Han family, would definitely not be able to leave. And Jiang Ming is still young, but he already has the appearance of a famous general, and he will definitely not let the ancestor of the Han family leave easily. After such calculations, the senior sister of the ancestor of the Han family who didn't know when he recognized him would be able to get out, but with a single grandmaster, his Chu family could still cope with it.

......

The ancestor of the Han family did intend to destroy the Chu family and divide the land and soldiers.

But in the current situation, he didn't have the time and energy to think about these things anymore.

Xu Changan, this kid, basically gave the power to his second son Han Shitao before, and the two sides only confronted each other across the river, and there were occasional small frictions, but it was just a small fight with dozens of injured people.

But now that Xu Changan has returned to Shuofang, Han Shitao has become his personal bodyguard, as for how to march and fight, it is completely decided by Xu Changan and the few vice presidents given by the Holy Emperor, and Han Shitao is not even qualified to participate in the parliament.

Shuofang's naval army has never been weak, Chuijiang is not only a city, there is really a river called Chuijiang outside the city.

Looking at Xu Chang'an, who was sharpening his knife, Han Shihai, the head of the Han family, also had to take it seriously.

As for Nanfeng, it gave him even more headaches.

Xu Changan can be said to have little experience in marching and fighting, relying on his lieutenant generals and his own cleverness.

But Jiang Ming is different, he has enough experience, enough ability, and he doesn't know how many times he can beat himself with military strategy.

Originally, he also had the talent to match or even faintly surpass Jiang Ming, but unfortunately, Liu Chenglang has been sick recently, and Jiang Ming has been on the offensive, he is tired and a little difficult to parry.

The ancestor of the Han family was a little angry, and he wanted to slap Liu Chenglang to death.

But he also knew where the problem was, and he also knew how to invite Liu Chenglang out, but unfortunately, he couldn't pull off this face.

The war drums outside the city sounded, and Jiang Ming attacked the city again.

This siege is not like before, they are more disciplined, advance and retreat in an orderly manner, it seems that because of Xu Changan's return, Jiang Ming has also regained his senses.

To add insult to injury, it's midnight ugly.

The soldiers were sleeping soundly, when suddenly the war drums sounded, and many soldiers panicked and hurried to meet the battle.

Even the ancestor of the Han family himself didn't even put on his clothes neatly, so he hurried to the city.

After about an hour of siege, the city was almost broken several times, and finally the city gate was defended at the cost of leaving hundreds of corpses of Nanfeng soldiers behind.

But the ancestor of the Han family knew that this was just Jiang Ming's temptation.

He divided the soldiers into several groups, so every day energetic soldiers came to harass.

Obviously, they are the masters, and Jiang Ming is the guest.

But Jiang Ming continued to use soldiers to harass on a small scale, wanting to kill the defenders of Nanfeng against the guest.

He looked at the hundreds of corpses at the head of the city and under the city, his face was gloomy, in the past few days, thousands of soldiers have died because of this small scale of harassment, if it goes on like this, this is also a big loss.

The two things he wanted to do most at this time.

The first is to rush into Jiang Ming's camp and slap it down with one palm to kill Jiang Ming, and the second is to shoot Liu Chenglang to death.

A hand behind him patted him on the shoulder, and the woman's gentle voice came: "I'm all a handful old, can't I see the matter of face?"

The Han Family Ancestor nodded, and finally sighed.

The next day, there was an old man in plain clothes at the door of Liu Chenglang's mansion, standing with his hands down, from morning to night. Eventually, someone finally welcomed him in.

Since then, a young man in white in a wheelchair has reappeared at the head of the city.

......

The ancestor of the Chu family had been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally saw the envoy.

He was full of joy, and the person who came was Chen Ping.

Chen Ping didn't know why, if it was about merit and talent, this Chen Ping's status was no worse than them, but this Chen Ping was involved in the dispute between the crown princes, and he was a ten-year-old who was a side concubine.

The ancestor of the Chu family immediately went to the post station in person, and Chen Ping seemed to be old friends who had known each other for many years and had a good relationship.

But Chen Ping did not have the kindness he imagined.

In his imagination, it should have been a good conversation, and then the Holy Emperor's decree was full of reassuring words. In the end, after some persuasion, he coordinated with the army to attack Yuedi, and after the war, he was still in front of the prince who had no actual title.

The moment he heard the holy decree, he was stunned, and he looked at Chen Ping in a daze.

He stood up abruptly and said to Chen Ping: "I'm not He Huiming, and I don't have the surname Han here, let alone Yuedi, I am a land of hundreds of rivers, everyone is rich, and the annual tax is twice as high as that of the other two places." Merchants, everyone wears brocade clothes, everyone eats big meat (pork), and everyone wears cloth shoes!

He spat and yelled at Chen Ping.

Chen Ping wiped the saliva on his face and said slowly: "What is the crime? Who is the surname of this whole world? The merits here belong to your Chu family? What does your Chu family have! Even the King of Jin and the King of the Year did not have a fief, how can you Chu, Qin, and Han families occupy an area and claim to be kings!"

The ancestor of the Chu family suddenly fell, lowered one arm, and said slowly: "I understand, the mistake is not surnamed Xuanyuan." ”

"It's ridiculous, I've worked hard, I always thought I could have my own territory, but I didn't expect others to want to take it away in the end!"

"I knew that I also made this place full of gray hair, and the whole place was plain!"

Chen Ping glanced at him and said slowly: "The prosperity of this hundred rivers, the people will be grateful to Dade, and after you leave, there will be a monument of merit." ”

The ancestor of the Chu family smiled miserably: "What is the use of me asking for this merit monument?"

At this moment, he was like an old man in his last years, with his left arm sleeve empty and shaking.

Chen Ping finished reading the holy decree and handed it forward.

The ancestor of the Chu family looked at Chen Ping's hand that had been in the air for a long time, gritted his teeth, and a fierce color appeared in his eyes.

"Grab it!" he snapped.

A group of soldiers swarmed in, and Chen Ping stood tightly in place, not moving, as if everything was expected by him.

He smiled faintly, pulled the long hair in front of his forehead, and asked slowly, "Are you sure?"

The ancestor of the Chu family said sharply: "This is mine! No one can take it away!

He looked like crazy and roared at Chen Ping.
