Chapter 125: Southern King Chen

The Qiluo Temple is still prosperous and exquisite. Compared with other closed palaces for a long time, it naturally has a vitality. That's the atmosphere that exists in a dwelling.
He entered the inner temple. The structure has not changed, but the subtleties are really different from when I lived here.
The Cui family remembers that it is a famous gate of Da Zhou. It has always been famous for its literary style, but unfortunately, it was born with poor health. For several generations, it was a single pass. In this generation, Cui Wei even abandoned literature and martial arts.
Cui Wei seems to like the luxurious and bright feeling, and the entire palace is cleaned up to be more spacious.
More than ten years have passed, and the servants in the palace have changed for a round. Presumably, no one remembers the preference of the eighth emperor.
Footsteps came, and the attendants behind were approaching.
Chen Xuan quickly awakened from his short memories of nostalgia. He turned his head, his eyes were quiet, his original sadness was swept away.
The attendant stepped forward and reportedly, "Emperor, Madam Zhen is here."
Chen Zheng nodded, and the attendant retreated.
Exposing the slender figure behind him.
The woman bent down deeply.
Chen Huan stepped forward quickly and helped her up.
It was a beautiful face, like a peach blossom shrouded in smoke and rain, charming Tiancheng, and with three points of sorrow, so that any man could not help but feel compassion, and General Zhou Wenwen of Dazhou was no exception.
Zhen Yuke was one of Yu Wenche's favors during his ten years in the Southern Dynasty. In fact, it was a that Chen Kun was resting in Zhennan General House.
"Aunt Zhen has worked hard these years." Chen Yan said sincerely.
Zhen Yuke's eyes were full of tears: "In the past, the concubine and I had the grace to regenerate. The maiden died and the slave woman wanted to follow her, but she happened to be a coincidence, leaving a dead life. Maybe God did not want to accept me. If he can serve his Majesty one or two, then how old is he? "
Zhen Yuke was originally a daughter of Zhang Guifei. She was adopted by the Zhang family since she was a child. She studied martial arts and was loyal to Zhang Guifei. After Nan Chen's death, she wanted to follow the lord, but was interrupted by the soldiers who rushed in when she rushed in. The rope fell off and passed out.
Later he became a captive, and was dedicated to Yu Wenche because she was beautiful.
Originally thinking that if he could stab this demon who invaded Nan Chen, he wouldn't have died in his own life. Zhen Yuke survived by shame. But after hearing the news that the eighth prince Chen Fang fled the capital and gained a foothold in the south, she changed her mind about assassination and began to plan for the future of her young master.
She was born with all sorts of charm, knowledge, and martial arts. Under the intentional flattery, she quickly became one of Yu Wencheng's favors.
In her usual situation, there are still many Nan Chen Jiali, who are obviously noble daughters, but now they can only be reduced to a martial artist's back house and become a humble servant. Such a cruel fate difference certainly makes them angry and sad. As a general in the south of Zhennan, Zhen Yuke walked in the back house of these generals, matchmaking, gathering intelligence, and secretly transmitting messages to the remaining forces of Nan Chen. Even in these years, Yu Wenchen searched the treasures extensively and squeezed the family.
"Your Majesty ... these years have been really hard work." Looking at the children who grew up in front of him, today looks like Zhen Yuke uncomfortable for a while.
Even if Fengshen is handsome, like a jade like a moon, he can't hide the heavy embarrassment and loss between the eyebrows.
The joy of being a teenager is innocent, no longer in this person.
After a brief sorrow, the two quickly calmed down. The ups and downs of years of adversity have allowed them to control their emotions as quickly as possible.
Under the cruel situation, there really isn't much sad time.
Chen Ye knew that even though Jianou City was successfully recaptured, the severe situation facing Nan Chen has not improved much.
Du Kang led the remnants of soldiers and horses and was stationed on the defense line in Michigan. At the same time there were 50,000 elite soldiers in the Shenzhou Battalion. They were elites belonging to the Zhongzhou Army and had not moved lightly.
The large tract of land to the east of Mizhou is still under their control, where it was originally the area that was captured by Da Zhou, and it was returned to Da Zhou territory earlier than Jianye. Therefore, both the people and Xungui are used to the rule of Da Zhou. And because the state of Mizhou is relatively barren to the east, it has not been brutally crushed by General Zhennan in these years, and the resistance is not as strong as around Beijing.
The more elaborate Chinese army, and even the distant northern army.
And Da Zhou Jingcheng, and Pei Ye's enemy. At that time, the battlefield of Nanchen was stalemate. The southern army was almost defeated by Nanchen's soldiers and horses. The Da Zhou dynasty dispatched Pei Yue from the northern Xinjiang to lead the army south, captured the Michigan defense line in one fell swoop, and then sent troops westward. Several times After the victory, Jianou City was captured in one fell swoop.
But there are not many chips available to him. Even that person left his side.
How to maintain the advantages that have been achieved and gradually expand the results. The next situation will only be more difficult than before.
"Now the hearts of the people in North Korea are fairly stable, and everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the emperor."
"Ha, these years have been oppressed by General Zhennan's Mansion, naturally thinking of the old owner." Chen Yi whispered. In front of familiar people, he is actually a person with a bright personality.
"Deserve it!" Zhen Yuke snorted, "Who made them both ends."
Today, the nobles who can still maintain their reputation in Jian'ou City have all surrendered to Da Zhou in time. So black history is all over the head. Many who were truly loyal to the Southern Chen Dynasty were killed on the battlefield, and even family members, such as the Bai family.
Of course, these years have been oppressed severely, and many of these families have also changed their lives and secretly contacted the small court in the south. That's why Chen Yan's counterattack can be carried out so smoothly.
"Aunt Zhen has bothered for years." Chen Yan laughed.
Yu Wen thoroughly ransacked the southern family and squeezed the beauty of money. Of course, because of his greed by nature, Zhen Yuke's help was indispensable. Taking all kinds of strange things and Chen Di's extravagant life for fun, blowing pillows and dazzling eyes and ears, it is inevitable that people will shake and immerse themselves in the abyss of extravagant enjoyment.
"It's just a bit of a bitterness, it's still cheap for them." Zhen Yuke said coldly. "Unfortunately, this is not the time to counterattack, but also to be treated with courtesy." Zhen Yuke raised these unfaithful families, full of hatred. Since the demise of Nan Chen, recalling the humiliation she suffered, she sometimes hated herself more than Yu Wenche's enemies.
"The family of gatekeepers is based on inheritance." Chen Yan smiled. After experiencing so many setbacks, he has already seen through the hearts of the people. The insight of these family gatekeepers has made him very indifferent. Of course, the preciousness of the sincerity of heart becomes more and more evident.
"If it wasn't for the gatekeepers' family so pity themselves, how could I wait for these years to achieve such a rapid effect." A clear voice came.
Chen Ye looked up and laughed: "Mr. Wen is here."
Coming from the corridor was a tall, thin man, with clear eyes, wearing only a turquoise gown, which was a little washed out, but it was difficult to hide his glory.
Perhaps because of perennial meditation, he added a vertical line between his eyebrows, adding three points to Qingying's appearance.
Wen Ming is a famous person from Nan Chen. He came from a family of renown, and has spread his name all over the world since he was a child. Unfortunately, he is indifferent and unwilling to enter the DPRK as an official. He has repeatedly rejected the call of Chen Di.
Emperor Chen was also very courteous to him. He was rejected and did not take it seriously. He also rewarded the secluded Wen Ye several times.
When Chen Zheng was a teenager, he was curious whether the famous man had any real ability, and he ran with his little friend to visit the mountains. Once, they went together, and the two got together.
After the annihilation of Chen in the south, Wen Rong no longer lived in the mountains and forests, and went to play for Chen Rong's little court, and soon became the main conspirator around Chen Rong.
Bowing to Chen Yi, Wen Yi opened his mouth: "These families are old and have mixed feelings about the arrival of the emperor. The happy ones get rid of the evil tigers. The worried people are afraid that the front door drives the tiger, and the back door enters the wolf."
Chen Yun laughed, "Worried that you want money from them?"
Wen Yan sneered: "Of course I am worried, but these years have been squeezed too much by Zhennan General House, and these families have no oil or water."
One monarch and one minister, talking about national affairs, turned out to be straightforward and rude like a street vendor on the street.
Nan Chen ’s little court was under pressure. In recent years, Chen Ye has become accustomed to such a simple, direct and efficient way of doing things.
What is the most lacking in warfare? The first is people, and the second is silver.
In fact, as long as there is money, there is no need to worry about people. With silver naturally attracting soldiers and horses, Chen Yan can quickly gain a foothold in the south, only to disperse his wealth, make strong locals, and hire soldiers and horses from the south to resist the offensive in the north.
Nowadays, in addition to his main force, there are still a large number of soldiers and horses in the north, which are the soldiers and horses of the southern countries such as Wuli and Zhonghuai. Of course, they were also recruited by spenders.
Recruiting horses, preparing forage, everything needs silver.
After Nan Chen's death, his government's inventory was sealed and transported to Da Zhou's treasury.
No wonder these families now have mixed feelings after Chen Yong entered the city. Although it is not necessary to be exploited by General Zhennan, the new emperor ascended the throne and the state treasury is empty. I do n’t know what to do next.
"Huh, it seems like they can see their little silver." Zhen Yuke laughed softly.
Chen Yan, they really despise the accumulation left by these families. Their goal is Yu Wenche's treasury.
Pan Tongnan Chen has collected local wealth for more than ten years. As a general in Zhennan, Yu Wencheng has accumulated amazing wealth.
The wealth on the surface is enough for the family to enjoy endlessly for many lifetimes, and it is even more amazing in secret.
As a bureaucrat, there are always good fortunes. Is there too much money? The political changes in the Zhou Dynasty in these years have been drastic. Many gatekeepers have inherited it for hundreds of years. Like the Guo family, he had a concubine and a prince, and was extremely prominent. However, a rebellion has become a rebel party that everyone can avoid.
Yu Wenchen hangs alone in the south, looking coldly, gradually thinking about finding a way for the family. Of course, Zhen Yuke's help and psychological suggestion are also indispensable.
According to the secret line report, after Nan Chen destroyed the country that year, a large part of the state treasury was also secretly intercepted by the South Army. In addition, Yu Wencheng's goods seized in Nan Chen over the years have reached an astonishing number.
Except for a few rare antiques, he did not dare to transport them back to the capital city of Da Zhou. After all, as a courtier, it is too eye-catching.
Part of him was kept in the general house of Zhennan, which has now fallen into their hands. A financial crisis that has temporarily eased significantly.
But a larger part was transported back to the north by Yuwen Che, hidden in a secret stronghold.
This windfall, Chen Yan, they are bound to get it, it is related to whether the next state affairs event can be unfolded, the hidden place is already known, and we are waiting to go.
On this trip, Chen Ye and they were not ready to act in secret. Instead, put it on the bright side, along with several other important goals.
"It's going to be a hard time for Mr. Hardship," Chen said.
After the fall of Jianye, Chen Ye decided to send an ambassador to go north to fight for life for Nan Chen.
It is a pity that the plan for poisoning the capital in Beijing was ruined once, otherwise, this time with Jin Miancao and the settlement, it is the best trading gift. Fortunately, before the victory of the county, a lot of soldiers were captured, barely enough.
Wen Zheng solemnly stooped, "The minister must not humiliate the mission. I also want to take a good look at what handsome figures in the Zhou Dynasty these years."
This trip to the north is full of crises. Even though Da Zhou is self-sustaining and facing up, it is impossible to do harm to the envoys, but it is even more difficult to complete their plans.
"But don't worry, the diplomatic mission needs an opportunity to go to Beijing." Chen Yishou smiled, the smile was like the sun shining on the snow, but it was bright and cold.
"Wait for my good cousin ..."

Du Kang is a field-tested general, and he knows exactly what comes next after such a disastrous defeat. The rebellious forces in Nan Chen, who were so eager to move, seemed to see the light and the savior, and they started to resist and follow in response to the call of the former lord.
Yu Wenchen's oppression of Nan Chen has been too harsh these years, especially the local gatekeepers and martial arts sects. The continuous suppression has overwhelmed them.
So instead of letting soldiers and horses scatter in various parts of the civil strife, they were finally broken by the main forces of Nan Chen Dajun. Instead, take advantage of this time to gather soldiers and horses to keep the defense line east of Mizhou.
Jian'ou City is equivalent to being abandoned.
In fact, in the final strategy, Huo Feimao, the leader of the Divine Army Battalion, insisted that he should retreat from Jianye. After all, the city walls there were even taller. It was once the capital of Southern Chen Emperor. It also had unparalleled strategic significance, and the Southern Army operated there for a long time.
Du Kang could only laugh bitterly because it was because the Southern Army had "run" in Jianou City for a long time that he did not want to retreat there. What the people in the city feel like, he can see clearly all these years, and has reminded General Zhennan and his colleagues several times, but unfortunately they all think that the overall situation has been settled and they have no worries.
Even Luo Bingcheng, who was also a deputy general, scoffed at his caution and bitterly advised, "I know what you mean, but why are our brothers and daughters desperately fighting on the battlefield? Isn't it the richness and glory of the grandchildren? There is not much warfare. Buying more businesses is the last word. "
When did the southern army get on and off? Du Kang also couldn't make it clear. Vaguely started with General Yuwen's acceptance of a few beautiful local Chen Chen? Then, one by one, they are like wild horses. It is reasonable to say that the army is forbidden to drink and color, and ignores everything. Many people have begun to accept the beauty of the local Chen Chen as a waitress. Regardless of the family ’s reluctance, there is also a payment. Silver is soft ...
In this mud pit, Du Kang himself is not innocent, he also owns a lot of properties and wealth, and there are a few beautiful gifts from others, but when he dreams back at midnight, he often sweats all over, really too much !!
The family aristocracy in Nanchen has begun to overwhelm, and the arrival of Pingxiying was a severe blow.
Cui Yun is so valuable that even Yu Wenche is not good at talking about his actions.
The families and nobles in Jian'ou City, as well as the ordinary people, looked at their southern army in the back with fear and coolness.
Under such circumstances, how could he, how dare to retreat to Jianye!
Fortunately, the state where they are now is far from Jianou. Du Kuang argued on the ground that he attacked long distances but was easy to be attacked. Huo Feimao never disputed him after all, and agreed with the strategy of stationing in Mi.
After that, the main force of Nan Chen went all the way north, but after more than ten days of work, there was news that Jianou City was breached. Because Yu Wenchen led the army south, Jian'ou was originally empty and weak. Later, the surrounding soldiers and horses were also summoned by Du Kang to gather in Mizhou. Several powerful men in the city opened the gate. Nan Chen's main force entered the city smoothly with little effort Already.
A few days later, the imperial court's intent to appoint Du Kang to lead General Zhennan passed to Michigan. Everyone finally had the backbone.
Du Kang also settled down and quickly began to set a firm strategy.
