Chapter 30: Chen Xianda Approaches Jiankang City
"As I expected. Everywhere there is grass on the wall: the wind blows on both sides. I'm going to hit Jiankang City. No one has crusaded against me. It seems that the assassins in various places have long been disappointed in Xiao Baojuan, the great faint monarch. Chen Xianda said with a smile.
"My lord. Xiao Baojuan, the faint monarch, has already sent Xiao Yan, the assassin of Yongzhou, to crusade against us. The herald stopped on his fast horse and reported it.
"Xiao Baojuan actually dares to send Xiao Yan to attack me? Isn't he at odds with Xiao Yan? Chen Xianda couldn't believe his ears.
He thought to himself: Could it be that the information is wrong? Could it be that Xiao Yan and Xiao Baojuan have no discord? I just can't figure it out. His Majesty poisoned Xiao Yan's wife, Xi Hui, and Xiao Yan could actually forgive him. This Xiao Yan is also a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong and reverses black and white.
"My lord. I think: Xiao Yan should not like Xi Hui. That's why I took a concubine. As soon as Xi Hui died, Xiao Yan could be happy with his concubine Ding Lingguang. Why does Xiao Yan hate His Majesty? His Majesty gave him a happy life. Pei Shuye said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, can you really command Xiao Yan? If you fight with a famous general like Xiao Yan. I'm afraid we won't have a chance to win, right? Chen Xianda said worriedly.
His expression had turned sad.
He thought to himself: If it really doesn't work, I can give Xiao Yan anything.
"I'm wondering if I can plot against Xiao Yan? Xiao Yan has a certain talent. If only he could come back to us. Isn't it enough to win? Chen Xianda said worriedly.
"Lord, by all means! Xiao Yan's respect for His Majesty's will is not because he is loyal to the Jiangshan Sheji of the Qi State. Xiao Yan's purpose is just for a momentary victory. Your Majesty is not a virtuous monarch. His purpose was not to make a little Yongzhou assassin history. Xiao Yan has great ambitions, but his purpose is to seize the world. Therefore, it will not help you to give him any official position, or gold, silver, and jewelry. Pei Shuye resolutely opposed the surrender of Xiao Yan.
"Even if Xiao Yan wants to be the emperor, he is not unable to satisfy him. Isn't Xiao Yan also the clan of the Qi Kingdom? Chen Xianda said with a smile.
"If Xiao Yan becomes the emperor of Qi State, I'm afraid we will be in a different place." Pei Shuye said with a smile.
At the same time, Xiao Baojuan discussed with Xiao Yan and Cui Huijing in the palace how to quell Chen Xianda's rebellion.
"You can do that. General Xiao Yan first led the vanguard to defeat Chen Xianda's rebels. Then, Cui Huijing pursued the remnants of the enemy again. Xiao Baojuan smiled.
Xiao Yan thought to himself: If this is the case, I am afraid that more than half of my Yongzhou army will be killed or wounded. In that case, even if the rebels were pacified. I basically don't have the capital to argue with His Majesty.
His Majesty is a complete ploy to kill two birds with one stone.
Cui Huijing thought to himself: Your Majesty's meaning is very clear, he just hopes that Xiao Yan's entire army will be annihilated, so that Xiao Yan's Yongzhou army will no longer have the strength to fight against the imperial court.
Although His Majesty is young, he spares no effort to maintain his imperial power.
Xiao Baojuan thought to himself: Xiao Yan and Cui Huijing are both threats to me. Their army can be bare. That's it, I don't have any worries!
"Your Majesty, if Weichen is allowed to face the army of Chen Xianda and Pei Shuye alone, wouldn't it be an egg hitting a stone? Chen Xianda has long been secretly expanding his armaments. His army is menacing, and we are no match at all. Xiao Yan said worriedly.
"Xiao Yan, if you can't beat Chen Xianda and Pei Shuye. I gave you the management of such a big place in Yongzhou, and I also look down on you. Xiao Baojuan scolded.
"Okay, Wechen must do his best to defeat Chen Xianda and Pei Shuye's rebels." Xiao Yan said helplessly.
He thought to himself: It seems that Your Majesty is going to weaken our Yongzhou Legion. I had no choice but to accept my fate. There is no other way.
"That's right! Uncle. The pillar of our Qi country is you! When my uncle was in Liu Song, he worked for Emperor Gaozu, and only then did we have the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of our Qi country. Xiao Baojuan smiled.
He thought to himself: Uncle Xiao Yan, you will charge into battle for the world of our Qi country. You will surely find your destiny: martyrdom. I'll give you a glorious burial too!
"yes. Your Majesty. I'll be sure to calm the world for you. Xiao Yan said with a smile.
He thought to himself: there is only one way to do this!
The next day, Xiao Yan received Chen Xianda's "Letter of Persuasion".
"Chen Xianda seems to be afraid of me. He wants me to unite with him. It seems that the combat effectiveness of his Jiangzhou rebels is not good. Otherwise, why would he be so low-profile? There must be something wrong with this. Chen Qingzhi, you quickly go to the rebel barracks outside Jiankang City to meet Chen Xianda and Pei Shuye for a while. If their barracks are in shambles, we will attack immediately. Xiao Yan said angrily.
Chen Qingzhi thought: Chen Xianda and Pei Shuye are straw bales. They are all a rabble. It's only a matter of time before it is exterminated.
"Your Highness, Wei Chen didn't think there was any need to go and see it. The soldiers are fast, and it is enough to annihilate them immediately. Chen Xianda and Pei Shuye's rebel army is not good at fighting. Chen Qingzhi said with a smile.
"Chen Qingzhi. You'd better go to the rebel camp right away. In case, if Chen Xianda is strong and strong, our Yongzhou Legion will be reimbursed. Xiao Yan said with a smile.
"Yes. I went to visit Chen Xianda on the same day. Chen Qingzhi said with a smile.
The next day, Chen Qingzhi went to the rebel barracks outside Jiankang City.
Chen Xianda saw Chen Qingzhi's money coming, and thought: Chen Qingzhi's eyes are like torches, and he is indeed a great general. If you can dig Chen Qingzhi over. I have the world.
"This is General Chen Qingzhi?" Chen Xianda said with a smile.
Chen Qingzhi looked at Chen Xianda, fair-skinned and gentle, and he thought to himself: He is indeed a Confucian general. It is worthy of being born in the noble family!
"Don't dare to be. I am Chen Qingzhi. But I'm not a general. I'm just a scholar of Lord Shi. Chen Qingzhi said with a smile.
"By the way, your surname is Chen. How many generations have you been in the Jiangnan Chen family? Which one is it? Chen Xianda asked.
He thought to himself: Could it be that Chen Qingzhi is from the Chen family in Jiangnan? How come I haven't heard of him?
"Lord Chen. I am not a child of the scholars. Chen Qingzhi said humbly.
"Not? You Yongzhou Assassin Shi adults don't look at their backgrounds. He's different, too! Chen Xianda said with a smile.
Chen Qingzhi thought: Chen Xianda doesn't look at talent at all, only looks at his background. How could such a person be able to command thousands of troops?
How do I think his army should not have any combat effectiveness anymore.
Chen Qingzhi smiled: "Lord Chen." I'm a kid from a humble family. Our Lord Thorn will not see the origin. Even if it is a rural child who farms, Lord Xiao can reuse it. Lord Xiao even allowed immigrants from Wei to serve as officials in Yongzhou. Origin is not very important. This is the reason why Yongzhou can prosper. ”
"Really? Those who achieve great things will definitely become famous. How can Bu Yi be a high-ranking official? The scholars are superior. Chen Xianda said with a smile.
