The results of this battle soon reached the ears of those who had a heart.

Xia Houyu expressed his complete unacceptability to this result, he knew his cousin's skills very well. Xiahou Jun's Ninefold Dry Jade Yun Thunder Technique has been practiced to the sixth level, and a set of Heavenly Thunder Slashing Techniques is even more perfect. If it weren't for the fact that he stayed in the Tiger Benwei all the year round and rarely walked around the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that he would have become famous by now.

As for Cheng Kun, he is just a young and unknown person, out of the Dingshan Army, how many people in the world know who he is? Even if he has some attainments in boxing and knife skills, how can he compare with the inheritance of the Xiahou family.

The jealous nature of human nature makes him reluctant to admit Cheng Kun's excellence, even if he has experienced it before. He prefers to believe that his cousin has stayed for some unknown reason.

Well, it must be so!

However, in this way, things are a little troublesome.

When Dai Feizhang handed over this task to him, Xiahou Yu didn't think that there was a possibility of failure, but when this result was really put in front of him, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, and his head was bigger.

Xia Houyu thought that this was an opportunity for Dai Feizhang to give him a meritorious service out of kindness, but now it seems that the kindness is a ghost, this is clearly a hot potato!

The old oilman in the rivers and lakes thought that he saw Cheng Kun's difficulty out of nowhere, so he would leave this matter to himself, but he didn't find anything wrong at all, so he stupidly followed.

Xiahou Yu seriously recalled the friends he knew, but the best martial arts among these guys were just similar to him, and his cousin Xiahou Jun didn't succeed in making a move, so it was useless to count on these guys.

Since the bright ones can't do it, then the dark ones can only come.

His brain began to run rapidly, racking his brains to find a way to reach Cheng Kun, of course, provided that it didn't affect him afterwards.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally had a flash of inspiration and thought of a feasible method......

............

Chang Xiong has been secretly paying attention to Cheng Kun for the past two days, and Xiang An also knows about this. He guessed that the eldest prince should also be a little curious about Cheng Kun in his heart.

After the results of the battle between Cheng Kun and Xiahou Jun reached Chang Xiong's ears, he laughed out loud at the time: "Good boy, it really didn't disappoint me." ”

Someone on the side asked playfully: "Chang Ye is very optimistic about this Cheng Kun." ”

Chang Xiong proudly rubbed the stiff beard on his chin, and said to this person: "You may not know Xiahou Jun, this guy is one of the few guys in the side branch of the Xiahou family who can make me look at it, his sword skills have even been praised by His Royal Highness, and his temper is also very right with me." It's a pity that his surname is Xiahou, otherwise this person may not be able to be brothers with you and me. ”

"Cheng Kun, this kid can tie with Xiahou Jun, it can be said that it is not simple. ”

After chatting a few words, Chang Xiong rushed to the mansion of the eldest prince, Xiang An, and wanted to tell His Royal Highness the news.

When he walked in, Xiang An was standing alone in the room, staring intently at a map placed on the table with his hands behind his back.

The map is very detailed, with many mountains and rivers marked in detail.

It's a pity that the contour line "flying bird map" that Cheng Kun inadvertently said in the Broken Dragon Mountain Range some time ago has not yet been transmitted to the imperial capital, otherwise this map will be more accurate and military value will be higher after modification.

When Chang Xiong approached, he only glanced at the table and saw where the map was depicted, which was the territory where the Nanyue Kingdom was located in the old days, and it was also the current Yuezhou of Great Chu, and its geographical location was roughly the area where Hunan Province was located in the later generations.

For a long time, Nanyue was a bone stuck in the throat of the emperor of the Chu Dynasty, unable to spit it out, unable to swallow, stuck there, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

During this period, the Nanyue Kingdom was still a barren land in the eyes of the Central Plains people, its terrain was mostly mountainous and hilly, with dense forests, little farming, and the people were not very civilized, and even now there are some people who live in the form of tribes in ancient times.

There are many such tribes, and most of their leaders are witch sacrifices who believe in ghosts and gods, almost every one of these people knows some witchcraft, and they are also very good at poisoning, and the best of them make the martial arts people in the Central Plains also change their colors.

It stands to reason that such a country has no crusade value, but the problem is that in the early years, the king of Nanyue who was the same as the overlord Xiang Yu was a guy with a head in water, completely ignoring how big the gap between his size and the Chu State was, and he thought that the Chu State was not long and the national strength was empty, and there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he sent troops to fight in a hot head, and was beaten by Xiang Yu with a full head.

If it weren't for the geographical advantages of South Vietnam and the hot and humid climate to rely on, it would have been wiped out by the Chu State at that time.

After Xiang Yu's death, his children and grandchildren also had nothing to do with Nanyue to level up.

What a good country, it can be used as a target for cultivating soldiers, but it will not pose any threat to itself, and you can't find such an excellent sparring partner in the world.

After several generations, a medium-sized country that was already relatively strong was tossed to the point of dying.

However, the geographical location of South Vietnam determines that it can't escape if it wants to, and it is firmly surrounded by Great Chu in three directions, and only the inevitable sea can avoid war, but unless the South Vietnamese royal family can ruthlessly abandon the glory, wealth and intoxicating power, flee with their families, and sail on the sea, otherwise they are destined to be beaten by the Xiang family.

Finally, in the generation of Emperor Huai of Chu (the father of Xiang Liang, see Chapter 18 of Volume 1), he was tired of this game (of course, the real reason was that South Vietnam had been drained of value), and simply sent generals to destroy South Vietnam completely.

In the end, only one remnant escaped into the mountains under the protection of a few loyal ministers of the kingdom, including a prince of South Vietnam.

However, after all, the South Vietnamese Kingdom has also existed for hundreds of years and has a deep prestige in the hearts of the locals. And although the last few monarchs are not called heroes who can turn the tide of the tide, they can be regarded as middle-class people, and they all know that the will of the people is the foundation of the country, and even in the most difficult times, they do not squeeze the people under their rule too much.

Therefore, these people have always been obsessed with the Nanyue royal family, and they are also very resistant to the rule of Great Chu, and whenever there is any dissatisfaction, some people will rebel.

Although it is not a fire, it is easy to extinguish, but it is always pressed on the gourd to wipe out this one, and after a while, another one will appear, which is annoying.

In the past few years, his hands have also been stained with the blood of many South Vietnamese, which is hated by the locals, and even regarded by some parents as a "demon" to intimidate children.

Xiang An didn't look back, just from the footsteps he heard who the person who walked in, and asked without looking back, "Is there something wrong?"

Chang Xiong replied: "In the morning, Xiahou Jun of the Xiahou family went to Yulinwei to fight with Cheng Kun, and the result was a win, and according to the news I received, in this battle, Cheng Kun took Xiahou Jun's thunder knife empty-handed. ”

"Oh?"

Xiang An turned his head, raised his thick eyebrows lightly, and was a little surprised by this result, and asked: "Did Xiahou Jun go all out?"

Chang Xiong nodded: "It should be so." ”

Xiang Liang stopped talking, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Very good, then call him over, I am short of some people under my hands now." ”

Chang Xiong was stunned when he heard this, scratched his head in some distress, and couldn't help asking, "Your Highness, then in what name should I use to pull him over?"

The eldest prince waved his hand and said to him: "If Yulinwei's people ask you, you will say that I still need a personal guard under my hand, and I have taken a fancy to Cheng Kun." ”

Chang Xiong nodded, this reason is very appropriate, the prince of the Xiang family has always had the habit of selecting guards from the two guards of Yulin and Huben, and it is not surprising that there is one more Cheng Kun at the moment.
