Chapter 21: The minister is no longer a minister
The news that Liu 13 was made an earl is too shocking, but it's okay to do this, in the next battle, the southern army will not have to compete with each other?
Sometimes, it's not necessarily faith that motivates people to do their best......
"The king......" The generals laughed for a while, and the atmosphere in the flower hall became more and more harmonious.
As soon as Uncle Ban's words fell, the big guy suddenly quieted down, and Qi Qi looked at Liu Chen, the battle of the Meiling Plain was definitely the biggest victory of the human race since the end of the French War began for so long, as a participating army, once the good news spread all over the world, it would be a great glory.

"Battle report?" Liu Chen chuckled, lowered his gaze slightly, he could see the expectation on the big guy's face clearly, soldiers, with such a big victory, it stands to reason that he should tell the world a good edict...... But Liu Chen had other thoughts in his heart, before Guicheng was not taken, the first battle of the Southern Army really could not be regarded as a complete victory.
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and taking a Wancheng and surrounding a Guicheng does not prove anything...... You must know that the opponent of the Western Army is the Ruling Knights of the State Religion, and their combat effectiveness is considered to be the top in the entire Eastern Continent! The enemy faced by the Northern Army is even more tricky, that is, a powerful invader from the Immortal Clan outside the territory! Compared to them, the opponent of the Southern Army is extremely weak...... Before the rebellion, Youzhou was the weakest existence of the human race in Kyushu, even with the support of the masters of the state religion and the immortal race, but in general, Liu Chen's southern army was completely undefeated.
"Let's talk about it after we take Guicheng......"
As soon as he raised his head, Liu Chen's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and all kinds of emotions were seen by him, and he smiled faintly, the tone of the Canglan King was absolutely unquestionable......
......
"Lone is not trying to annihilate your credit, it's just that at this time, taking down an inconsequential small city will not have the slightest impact on the entire battle situation, the empire needs a big victory, a real victory, and when we recover Guicheng and come to Cangshan and Erhai...... Guding will be truthful to the table, for you to take credit!"
"The Great King Divine Judgment!"
......
"Report!"
Just appeased the slightly lost battalion commanders, one day the guards of the Jue Pavilion appeared at the door of the flower hall so suddenly, and when everyone turned back, the guard knelt down on one knee, arched his hand and raised his voice: "King, please see ...... the representative of the Wancheng clan."
"Representatives of the Shi clan?" Liu Chen raised his eyebrows, and turned his head to look at Uncle Ban Ziming with doubt.
"The king, this person's surname is Liu, Tian is the third year of Longqing Qionglin Banquet Liberal Arts Jinshi and the first, the Liu family is a scholarly family, it is really a wealthy family in Wancheng, and it is also quite prestigious among the people...... After our army attacked the city, Master Liu and the scholars were the first to defect, and this city lord's mansion was opened by them...... During the day, it was also this old man Liu who helped our army stabilize the situation in Wancheng......"
After the warlocks of the Shenji Battalion worked together to blast open the Wancheng Pass, they followed Liu Chen's army into the city, and the first thing they did when they entered the city, they began to have a comprehensive understanding of the city...... When the city shouted and killed, the warlocks had already taken off their military uniforms, changed into Confucian robes, and immersed themselves in the countless files in the city lord's mansion.
It is not so much that the Shenji Battalion is a terrifying long-range outbreak force, it is better to say that in the absence of a specific combat deployment, they are all Liu Chen's advisors, yes, when the Tianji Pavilion soldiers said that someone was invited, Uncle Ban Ziming's mind instantly determined all the information of that person, and turned to Liu Chen.
"Oh......" Liu Chen bowed his head, but the corners of his eyebrows were raised higher, "What is this surnamed Liu doing with this king?"
"Back to the king, I don't know ......what the old man is looking for you to do" The Tianji Pavilion guard was a little big by Liu Chen's rhetorical question, and he pondered for a moment, and then buried his head and reported truthfully: "He didn't say anything, he just knelt in the living room...... I've been kneeling for half an hour!"
"Okay, Ziming will follow me to take a look......" As he spoke, Liu Chen raised his feet and walked towards the outside of the flower hall, and when he reached the door, he turned back to the silent general and ordered: "You don't have to be restrained, so arrange the kitchen to prepare the dinner...... After a hard day, it can be regarded as a celebration for Uncle Thirteen!"
"Yes!"
......
When Liu Chen, who was in a brocade robe, walked into the living room with a smile, the old man in a gorgeous dress who was kneeling in front of the desk raised his head tremblingly, squirming the white whiskers at the corners of his mouth, the old man hesitated, and said with a little fear: "Little old man Liu Shouye, I have seen the king of Canglan, the king is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
Three kneels and nine kowtows, the old man's etiquette and upbringing are as strict as Uncle Ban's Ziming, and he can't pick out any thorns.
"Lone is not your Canglan King...... Your king, in the west!" sneering, Liu Chen sat at the top of the position, and did not look at the respectful old man at his feet, and laughed to himself: "I don't know if Mr. Liu came to see this king so late, is there anything important?"
Hearing Liu Chen's previous words, a wisp of pain suddenly flashed in Liu Shouye's eyes, but at this moment, he had no chance to fight for reason, so he had to make a bitter face, kowtow again and prayed: "King, little old man came this time because of a reluctant invitation, and I also ask the king to be gracious......
"Since it's reluctant, please ......"
"Ahem......"
was about to refuse, but Uncle Ban's cough happened to interrupt him, in this regard, Liu Chen had no choice but to change his words, and said with a smile: "Say, what's the matter?"
"That's the case, the king!" glanced at Uncle Ban Ziming with gratitude, and Liu Shouye said hurriedly: "I heard that the king will behead more than 3,000 prisoners of the city defense army at the entrance of the vegetable market at noon tomorrow......"
"Yes!" Liu Chen nodded, motioning for Liu Shouye to continue speaking.
"Little Lao'er dares to love the king and the holy judge, the more than 3,000 city defense troops are not unwilling to surrender, but their families have been crossed to Ruicheng by Zhang Chen's old horseman...... For this reason, they have no choice but to rebel against our king's heroic master! Heaven and earth can be learned, who of our descendants of the Holy Venerable is willing to be this beast who betrays his ancestors and betrays the country!"
Speaking, two lines of turbid tears crossed Liu Shouye's cheeks, in his life, reading sage books, seeking Haoran Qi, he never thought that he would become a thief who had been criticized countless times when he was old age, Zhang's Youzhou Rebellion, there were countless innocent people who were affected, and there were many Confucians like Liu Shouye, who were involved in this inexplicable catastrophe in this way.
At the beginning, like Liu Shouye, the Confucian Guardians who did not know the truth had protested against the Langya Weidu Governor's Mansion and the Jinwuwei Governor's Mansion stationed in Youzhou...... In this way, these great Confucians were also forced to become accomplices...... The disaster caused Xiao Wall, which put them in a dilemma, and wanted to return to the embrace of the motherland, but the motherland thought that you were a traitor and did not want to be in the company of the Zhang family, but you were classified by the people of the world under the command of the Zhang family.
When Liu Chen's Wang Shi came to Youzhou after a long call, they suddenly found that the king was still the king, and the minister was no longer a minister!
In Youzhou, there were also people who resisted and tried, but the result was unsatisfactory after all, but everyone knew that when Zhang's edict was promulgated, the entire Youzhou had already become the first victim of the strangulation in this era of the end of the law. (To be continued.) )
