Waiting for the guards to go out, Zhang Yuwen said with a smile: "Lord, this is a God-given opportunity, I think I will receive good news in the near future." ”

Wang Hongyi also nodded, and said: "That's true, originally Yueshan County was about to fall, but this time it was even more pushed, it is really ...... to have such a son without merit."

Descended, it was a courtier, Wang Hongyi really couldn't say bad things about the courtier, so he stopped here.

The next afternoon, news came back.

What surprised Wang Hongyi a little was that there was Cheng Yougong and his party when he came back with the messenger.

"Cheng Yougong is here in person?"

Wang Hongyi will not close the door: "Please come to the hall." ”

"No. ”

After a while, several officials, accompanied by one person, walked in from outside.

"Yueshan County Jiedu envoy Cheng Yougong has seen the Marquis of Shu. As soon as the leader entered the camp tent, he respectfully bowed, which was an attitude, and Wang Hongyi's intention for it had already been determined.

"Come on, serve tea. ”

"Shu Hou is polite. ”

"Cheng Gong came this time, could it be that he came to pick up Cheng Gongzi? In fact, Cheng Gongshi didn't have to come in person. Cheng Gongzi is all right and is resting in the side hall. After a few people took their seats, Wang Hongyi first ordered some refreshments and said in a calm tone.

Hearing that his beloved son was fine, Cheng Yougong's heart was relieved, and he said: "Don't hide it from the Marquis of Shu, Cheng Mou came this time, and it was just a trivial matter to take the dog back, but the original intention was to come to meet the Marquis of Shu." ”

"The Marquis of Shu was ordered by Yun, and Cheng Mou'an dared to resist? ”

Cheng Yougong said, giving the officials who came with him a look.

These people hurriedly took out the brocade box containing the large seal and a few stacks of paper books from the package they carried with them.

It was impossible for Wang Hongyi to let them send it to him in person, so his own guards walked over and took these things.

Several objects were gently placed on the table in front of Wang Hongyi.

Wang Hongyi looked down at the things on the table, did not move directly, and looked at Cheng Yougong: "Don't dare, how can he be alone, can he be used like this?"

Cheng Yougong bowed his hand to Wang Hongyi, who was seated, and said with a wry smile: "Marquis of Shu, as early as when you led the army to capture Yongchang County, Cheng Mou had already had the idea of offering the city. It's just that Yueshan County is, after all, the foundation left by Cheng's father, and it is not easy to make such a decision, so it has been delayed so far. ”

"It's just that now Cheng has realized that in this troubled era, it is better to hand it over to the Lord to govern than to let the people under his rule suffer from war and chaos and suffer from war disasters again. If the people of Yueshan County can benefit from this, it must be that Cheng's ancestors have knowledge underground and will understand Cheng's decision. ”

"The Marquis of Shu is under the order of fortune, and he can still accept this seal for the people of Yueshan County!"

I have to say that Cheng Yougong's words are very sincere.

Wang Hongyi was very satisfied in his heart, and he was able to take the initiative to surrender to India, which was already a very good side.

Speaking of this, Wang Hongyi was no longer hypocritical, and laughed: "Cheng Qing can understand the righteousness so well, it really makes Gu admire, and avoids a military disaster, our army will never harass the people in the county when it enters Yueshan County, let alone get involved in the private property of the Cheng family." ”

Wang Hongyi thought for a while, and then said: "Qing has taken refuge in me, but my system is separated from civil and military, do you want to be the commander of the capital, or the Taishou of Yueshan County?"

The titles have changed.

Hearing this, Cheng Yougong immediately knelt on the ground and made a great salute to the monarch and ministers: "The minister is willing to be too guarded and take care of one side for the lord." ”

"Good!" Wang Hongyi was overjoyed, appeased, and ordered a banquet.

The roster and the big seal in front of him only flipped through a few pages and ordered the guards to put them away.

In less than a pillar of incense, more than a dozen maids and maids entered the hall in turn and began to set up a banquet, Wang Hongyi said: "Cheng Qing, please come over and sit together, what do you think?"

Cheng Yougong saluted and said: "The lord of the minister ** defecates." ”

"You go and ask Cheng Gongzi to come here, saying that it is my order. Wang Hongyi turned his face to a guard beside him and said, most of the guards around him know in the army, and if they send one person over, no one will stop them and not let them go.

"No. The guard replied respectfully, and turned and walked out of the hall.

Out of the hall, the guard went all the way to the north, walked through several rooms, stopped in front of a room, there were several soldiers guarding in front of the door of this room, and when he saw that the person who came was the guard in front of the Marquis of Shu, he bowed and saluted: "I have seen my lord." ”

"Is Cheng Gongzi okay inside?" the guard asked.

"My lord, Cheng Gongzi is fine. ”

"The Marquis of Shu has an order, let me take Cheng Gongzi to the main tent in front, and you will send him over with me. The guard commanded.

"No. Several soldiers responded at the same time.

Lifting the door, the young man inside jerked his head up, sat on the chair, and glared at them.

Shi Wei didn't see it, and said lightly: "Cheng Gongzi, the Marquis of Shu is invited, please come with me." ”

"Hmph, just go. Cheng Huaizhi was sitting on a chair, but when he heard this, he stood up suddenly.

Although his face was a little ugly, the name of the Cheng family's sister-in-law made him hold on and come out.

The guards led the way in front, and several soldiers escorted them behind.

When he came to the hall, the guard stopped and said respectfully inside: "Marquis of Shu, the person has been brought." ”

Soon Wang Hongyi's voice came: "Please Cheng Gongzi into the account." ”

"Let's go in, Cheng Gongzi. Seeing that Cheng Huaizhi didn't stop, the soldiers behind him had to push lightly.

After Cheng Huaizhi came in, he looked at a person suddenly, and was suddenly shocked: "Father!"

After looking carefully, he found that his son was only a little embarrassed on his clothes, but there was no sign of being tortured, and he suddenly felt relieved, but he opened his mouth to reprimand and said: "Son, look at the good things you have done, and you still don't confess to the lord?"

As soon as he heard the word "lord", Cheng Huaizhi was like a thunderbolt, and he was immediately stunned.

Seeing his son's attitude, Cheng Yougong really wanted to go up and slap his son, and drank again: "Still not salute?"

rushed over to offer the seal and surrendered, and the status of the monarch and minister was determined, and if the son resisted at this time, even if he did not pursue it now, sooner or later the Cheng family would have a big disaster.

Although Cheng Huaizhi is young, he is not an idiot after all, he was drunk by his father, and finally understood, and knelt down to salute aggrievedly.

Wang Hongyi saw Cheng Huaizhi's emotions exposed, but he didn't mind, this kid was very incompetent in his eyes, and he was young, it was easy to understand, and he smiled at Cheng Yougong and said: "This is joy, let's have a banquet together!"

At this time, all the generals came one after another, seeing this situation, they greeted each other, and congratulated Wang Hongyi, and for a while, the atmosphere became lively.

Cheng Huaizhi is actually not stupid, it's just that when he saw his father for the first time, his emotions were out of control, and he understood his situation at this time, and then he only drank and ate with his head bored.

After the banquet, he was placed in a courtyard and rested with his father, Cheng Huaizhi learned the inside story from his father.

"Wu'er, you have to know that only in this way can you keep the Cheng family's foundation. Heroes do not necessarily have to be judged by success or failure, and those who know practice are heroes. ”

"The Marquis of Shu is the lord of East Yizhou, and the pacification of West Yizhou can be achieved within one or two years, or the time required is shorter, and the unification of Yizhou, the Marquis of Shu will have the foundation of competing for the world, and it is not necessary to fight for the supreme position at that time. We are enemies of the Marquis of Shu, but we are just killing ourselves. Cheng Yougong saw Cheng Huaizhi's face was discouraged, and said on the side.

Seeing that Cheng Huaizhi was silent, as if he had listened to these words, Cheng Yougong sighed softly.

Thinking that early tomorrow morning, he would go back with Dongyi Army and dedicate Yueshan County, Cheng Yougong's mood was complicated.

But...... Turning his head and looking at the beloved son in the tent, as long as the Cheng family is still old and young, what does it matter if he loses his foundation for a while?

If the bloodline is passed on, the Cheng family will not be broken.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day at dawn, the Dongyi army set off and rushed to Yueshan County.

With the assistance of the Cheng family's father and son, the reception of Yueshan County went very smoothly, and the 6,000 troops were all reorganized.

Wang Hongyi officially sealed Cheng Yougong Yueshan County Taishou, Zheng Wupin, and protected the Cheng family's industry.

Although it was said that the right to govern a county in Yueshan County was lost, the Cheng family was exempted from the scourge of extermination, and continued to live as an official.

As soon as the news came out that the soldiers took down Yueshan County without bloodshed, it immediately caused an uproar in Xiyizhou.

"I really can't imagine that Cheng Yougong actually surrendered to the seal! Since he has set this precedent, if we don't act in this way, won't we kill ourselves?" In the Taishou Mansion of Jianshan County, since he got the news, the atmosphere was tense, and in the study room of the back house, a confident voice came out from time to time, obviously hateful.

The guards in the city of Yuecheng County were also waiting for them, but the Taishou Mansion was crying.

Since the news came, Yuecheng Taishou's wives and concubines cried to persuade their husbands to surrender, Yuecheng Taishou knew that they were sent by their respective mothers to be lobbyists, and he knew that with his current strength, he was just looking for death against Dongyi Army, and he would rather die than surrender, and several major families in Yuecheng County, who had kinship ties with their own families, could not escape the catastrophe, so the wives and concubines from the big clan begged him to surrender, and it was really difficult to endure under this internal and external troubles.

At the same time, the Taishou of Qinghe and Quang Ninh all encountered such and such problems, but their troops were smaller and encountered more difficulties, but they did not hesitate much, and immediately sent people to sacrifice the county.

Wang Hongyi was also not ambiguous, and was also appointed as the prefect of Wupin, so that they could calm the hearts of the people and spend this time.

In the end, Yuecheng County had to comply with the will of heaven and send people to surrender.

Wang Hongyi sent people to rectify the army one by one, reorganized, and basically appointed the original officials to govern the government in order to maintain stability, but at the same time, he issued an order to appoint Ding Huchen as the general of Pingman, and reorganized and surrendered the army to the second capital, a total of 7,000 people, and carried out the next plan of Yizhou.

The Jingshan Department was ordered to be reorganized into a banner, and Sa Qu was the first banner owner, acting with the Pingban general Ding Huchen.

At the end of April, the entire Xiyi Prefecture fell into the hands of Wang Hongyi, and the east and west benefited from it, and since then they have been unified.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the unification of the east and west Yizhou, the dragon sword can no longer resist, and there is a state of thirteen ancient states in the world, and it must completely fall into the hands of one person.
