Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The river is surging, day and night.

    A small boat sailed upstream. The benevolent king Xu Chang stood at the head of the boat with a rather ugly look on his face. He could already see the banners on the other side fluttering and spears like a forest, full of murderous aura.

    Half a year ago, the king of Northwest Chu had officially proclaimed himself emperor, with the country named Da Chu and its capital at Wuping.

    Everyone in the world knows that Wuping is only the temporary capital, and it will not be long before it will be moved back to Luoanjing. Looking at the world, the Northwest Army that entered the country like tigers and wolves from the northwest has become an iron-horse army that cannot be competed with today.  In less than two years, Chu State took Liaodong first and even forced the King of Goryeo to surrender to Chu State.

    After that, the Chu army marched directly to Hebei, and now the north was completely under the control of Chu. Pei Ji, the prime minister of Chu, led an army of troops and horses, and continued southward from Hebei, marching directly to Luo'an, while the emperor of Chu  He led another large army to conquer Jinling in person.

    The situation today is no longer the same as it was two years ago.

    In the past two years, although the Chu army was fighting abroad, it did not neglect its domestic affairs. After Chu Huan ascended the throne as emperor, he held imperial examinations and recruited poor people. Regardless of their origins, they were all capable of serving the country if they were talented and learned.  Broadening the voice, improving the status and treatment of craftsmen, selecting talents in an eclectic way, hiring people based on their merits, reducing taxes, actively restoring people's livelihood, and developing commerce. This made the southern half of the country that was messed up by Tianmen Road become a hell for everyone.

    Countless people tried their best to escape from the south and flocked to the north. Among them were many capable people with real talents and knowledge. Seeing that the people in the north were gradually settling down, they even defected to the Chu State and were willing to serve.

    With the new dynasty and new atmosphere, the Chu State, which occupied half of the country, was already prospering.

    There were so many civil servants and generals in the Chu State, and many of the ministers who served the Qin Empire were accepted by the Chu Emperor regardless of past suspicions.

    Chu's national power is getting stronger and stronger day by day, while his opponents are getting weaker and weaker.

    The benevolent king Xu Chang sat guarding Jinling, and he was once very powerful. The Tianmen Taoist disciples attacked Jinling. The benevolent king commanded well and pushed back the Tianmen Taoists for a time, and even made the Tianmen Taoists dare not attack Jinling for a time.  But the weird thing is that half a year ago, Tianmen Dao began to attack Jinling crazily. Jinling Dao fought almost everywhere, and Tianmen Dao seemed to have a deep hatred against Jinling. Regardless of casualties, it mobilized a large number of living forces to rush towards Jinling crazily.  , and even didn't care about Pei Ji's troops heading south, which caused Jinling to gradually fall into a desperate situation, but Pei Ji's troops marched straight in.

    Xu Chang really couldn't figure it out. Pei Ji's Chu army was very aggressive and took the initiative to attack Tianmen Road, but Tianmen Road only sent a limited force to resist, while the Jinling soldiers were stationed in Jinling and never attacked Tianmen Road. These people acted like madmen.  They were all fighting around him. He really didn't understand. Are those people in Tianmen Road all out of their minds?

    This reminded him of the scene when the Chu army attacked Hebei. After the Chu army conquered Liaodong, they sent a small group of soldiers and horses to test Hebei. The Hebei army had hundreds of thousands of people, sitting on a large amount of cultivated land, and there was no shortage of food and grass.  , was enough to compete with the Chu army for a while. When the Hebei army was waiting for a showdown with the Chu army, Tianmen Road suddenly appeared in the south of Hebei, assembled a heavy army, and frantically attacked Hebei Road.

    That was just after Xu Chang defeated Tianmen Road. At that time, Xu Chang felt quite proud, thinking that Tianmen Road lacked food and grass, and people were starving all over the fields. It was the time of autumn harvest in Hebei, so it was natural to invade Hebei to snatch food and grass.

    Since then, the Hebei Army and Tianmen Road have been locked in a fierce battle, with both sides suffering heavy losses. At that time, the Chu State suddenly gathered a large number of troops and later entered Hebei. The Hebei Army collapsed thousands of miles away, and Tianmen Road also dispersed in a panic, and the world  The Granary Hebei Road fell into the hands of the Chu State. Xu Chang was surprised, and the Tianmen Road came back and killed Jinling.

    The fall of Hebei Road was closely related to Tianmen Road's attack on Hebei. The Chu State owned half of the northern half of the country. Among all the forces, it was Tianmen Road's biggest enemy. However, Tianmen Road rarely seemed to have a head-on confrontation with the Chu army. In the battle of Hebei, on the contrary  It was a great help to the Chu army.

    Of course Chu State has the strength to devour Hebei, but without Tianmen Road intervening, it would have taken at least a year and a half, and this time could have allowed Xu Chang to breathe a sigh of relief.

    It¡¯s a pity that in the end, it only took less than two months for the Chu State to completely incorporate Hebei into its territory.

    Now, Jinling has encountered the same situation. Half a year ago, the Chu army began to camp on the other side of the Qiong River. However, the troops were weak and Xu Chang didn't take it to heart. Then Tianmendao attacked Jinling frantically. Xu Chang lost his troops and generals. Looking back, he  , Chu State actually gathered a large number of troops and horses to the bank of Qiong River, and the Emperor of Chu State actually led the expedition in person.

    In the past few months, Chu army ships have been sailing down the river every now and then. In a short period of time, there were already fifty or sixty Chu army warships on the Qiong River.

    Jinling is tired of dealing with Tianmen Road and has no chance to breathe. There is not much food left in the Jinling warehouse.Under Tianmen Dao's crazy offensive, most of the city has been destroyed.

    Xu Chang knew that the Chu army would launch an offensive from behind at any time. Once the Chu army began to send troops, Jinling, like Hebei, would surely fall into the hands of the Chu state.

    He was devastated, and when his life was hanging by a thread, the Chu State sent an envoy with a letter from the Emperor of Chu State. The words were concise and to the point, as long as Xu Chang surrendered, his family would be safe and his life would be rich.

    With the fall of Jinling City imminent, Xu Chang knew that he had no choice, so he crossed the river in person and surrendered to the Chu Emperor.

    After the ship docked, Xu Chang reported his home and was immediately taken to the Chu army camp. After passing the camp, he saw well-equipped and powerful Chu soldiers. It seemed that there were horses everywhere. Xu Chang knew that with his own strength  , against the Chu army, they were simply vulnerable.

    Emperor Chu's tent was not as magnificent as Xu Chang thought. It was very ordinary and even a little shabby. When he was brought into the tent, he saw that the Chu army had been prepared. The civil servants and generals on both sides were looking at him from a distance.  , behind the answer, sat a man in black armor. Xu Chang secretly thought, could this be Emperor Chu?

    He tried his best to calm down and appeared calm. He stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Jinling Renwang Xu Chang!"

    "Bold!" A military general on the side shouted coldly: "When will the emperor make you king? How dare you proclaim yourself king in front of the emperor?"

    Xu Chang was startled, but he heard Emperor Chu say: "Are you here to profess your vassal, or to declare a war?"

    Xu Chang's body was shaken, and he realized something, and fell to his knees: "Xu Chang pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor, and is willing to surrender to the Great Chu and be loyal to the Emperor!"

    Emperor Chu stood up, holding a riding crop in his hand, and walked over slowly. He heard Emperor Chu say: "Raise your head!"

    Xu Chang raised his head and realized that Emperor Chu was much younger than he thought. With a slight smile on his face, Emperor Chu tapped Xu Chang's shoulder lightly with the riding whip twice before he smiled and said, "You're here."  It¡¯s timely, but if we come three days later, we won¡¯t have another chance.¡±

    "I'm scared!" Xu Chang lowered his head.

    "Come here, take Xu Chang down for dinner and treat him well." Emperor Chu ordered: "After dinner, return to your city. My troops and horses will immediately cross the river and cooperate with each other inside and outside to surround and annihilate the Tianmen Dao bandits in Jinling!"

    Xu Chang hurriedly bowed his head to thank him. When Xu Chang retreated, Chu Huan looked at one of them and said with a smile: "Ximen Aiqing, Jinling is about to be obtained, and then we go straight to Luo'an. Who do you think will get to Luo'an first, me or Pei Guoxiang?"  ?¡±

    Ximen Aiqing was naturally Ximen Yi. He laughed and said: "Your Majesty, you and the Prime Minister have made a bet. If you lose, you will have to drink three jars of wine in public. With all due respect, the Emperor's drinking capacity is mediocre.  I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on after three jars of wine, so in order to let Pei Guoxiang share the emperor's worries, we must attack Luo'an first no matter what."

    As soon as this was said, everyone present burst into laughter.

    "I know that I am not good at drinking, so I keep you all by my side." Chu Huan said with a smile: "With you guys accompanying me in my expedition, the Prime Minister will definitely be no match for me." He stretched his waist and said, "In three days, we will cross the river and climb the mountain.  Shore, everyone go get ready."

    After everyone retreated, Chu Huan reached out and grabbed the person next to him, held her in his arms, and sat down on his lap. This person was dressed in men's clothing, but he had a beautiful appearance and a plump figure. He was Su Linlang.

    Linlang was hugged by Chu Huan, her face flushed, and she said anxiously: "Your Majesty!"

    "You are not allowed to call me the emperor." Chu Huan immediately raised his hand to cover Linlang's mouth and said close to her ear: "How many times have I told you, what should you call me when there is no one around?"

    "Huanhuan brother!"

    Chu Huan chuckled, feeling the softness on Linlang's buttocks, and said softly: "Now do you know why I asked you to come here? You are my chief internal manager and the minister of household affairs. Jinling warehouse is at your fingertips. You have to help  Let me clean up the grain in Jinling Warehouse. Although there is not much grain left in Jinling Warehouse, there is still some. Only by controlling the grain in our hands can Xu Chang bow his head and obey orders."

    "At this point, he doesn't dare to be disobedient." Linlang's breasts were held by Chu Huan, her face flushed, and she whispered: "HuanBrother Huan, let me be the minister of household affairs."  , is itare there a lot of people gossiping? I will definitely be a female concubine in the harem!"

    "Who said women can't be officials?" Chu Huan said: "In the past two years, you have not done very well. Although some people think it is weird, many people still praise you for your outstanding talents. You do it first, and wait for the day when you can  If you don¡¯t want to, I¡¯ll find someone else to take your place. Mei Niang is also a woman, and if the Prime Minister of the country doesn¡¯t take her away from me and insists on her leading the troops south together, then no one will gossip about her.¡±

    Lin Lang said: "Meiniang has been in Hebei before. The Prime Minister led troops to attack Hebei. Mei Niang can help."

    "Meiniang can help, of course you can too."??.  "Chu Huan smiled, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Linlang, do you know the purpose of letting you practice in the Ministry of Household Affairs?  "

    Linlang shook his head and said, "I don't know, what's wrong?"

    Chu Huan raised his hand and gently scratched the tip of Linlang's nose, and said: "It has been half a year since I ascended the throne. Ximen Shangshu and others have advised me many times in private. The dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, and it is time to establish a queen as soon as possible. I have thought about it for a long time  , what they said is right, according to the current situation, we should be able to capture Luo'an within half a year. After moving the capital to Luo'an, I am ready to establish a throne."

    Linlang looked solemn and asked: "The emperor is going to establish a queen? Thenis he going to establish Sister Su?"

    "Su Niang is sincere in her treatment of people and has a simple nature. It is okay to take on the role of a family of several people, but the harem is different." Chu Huan shook his head: "I'm just afraid that she doesn't have that courage and talent. In fact, I told Su Niang this.  Well, Su Niang knows that her abilities are limited and she doesn¡¯t want to be the queen, but she recommended me a candidate for the throne.¡±
