Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 517
Chen Shouzhong's words moved Chen Lan's heart.

The area of ​​Jiaozhi in Annan is now Shuiqian Wangbaduo.

The Twelve Envoys in places with bigger farts do not include some bandit forces with slightly stronger strength.

In short, for the benefit, a group of people were beaten to death.

The situation on Annan's side is slightly different from the civil strife in the Central Plains.

Most of the civil strife in the Central Plains is that the heroes think about fighting for their own interests, while the common people think about peace.

Annan is a local tyrant seeking war for his own strength, and the local aborigines are also militants and are very xenophobic.

They don't accept Wanghua, and their way of life is very barbaric, drawing the land as a boundary.Or live in villages, or live in caves, and treat outsiders who enter the country as prey.

The local Aboriginal people in Annan far outnumber the Han people, because the Han people are wise, and they obey the control of the Han people, but if the Han people cannot satisfy their interests, they may be overthrown.

Therefore, in order to compete for a small profit, it may trigger a big battle.

Chen Lan was one of the most powerful tyrants among the twelve envoys, so he naturally had the idea of ​​leveling the other envoys and becoming king in Annan.

What he was worried about was just worrying that he would go to the Central Plains to enjoy the blessings just like Wu Yue and Qingyuan Army after he had exhausted all his hard work and wiped out many envoys in Annan.

Now that I know the meaning of Luo Youdu in the Central Plains, I am secretly shocked, but I am determined in my heart. Knowing that Luo Youdu must have a deep understanding of the situation in Annan, I did what I did today. Facing the direction of the Central Plains, I knelt down solemnly on the ground and kowtowed nine times. With a ringing head, he said: "Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, and I admire you! You are highly valued by Your Majesty, and I will never disappoint Your Majesty's high expectations."

He got up and complained to Chen Shouzhong, "Sir, I don't know about Annan's situation. There are many people in Annan Mountain. They don't accept Wang Hua. They are stupid, arrogant and ignorant. They don't want to accept the influence of ethics, and they are very xenophobic. Even we are often subject to them. .”

Chen Lan's words were not an exaggeration.

Chen Lan had a great reputation in Annan Jiaozhi, and was honored as Duke Ming by the locals. Compared with those unscrupulous heroes, Chen Lan was not a good person, but he also had his own moral bottom line.

He is fair externally, benevolent internally, and is very popular with the people.

In order to better govern the people, he has been promoting Sinicization for more than ten years, but the results are very mediocre.

There are too many local aborigines. They have developed their own habits, have their own language, and have always lived a simple life. They do not use their brains very much, and it is difficult for them to accept the advanced Han culture.

This is the case in history. With Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi's disastrous defeat in Annan, the majesty of the Central Plains disappeared in Annan.

In the end, facing the general trend of Annan, the ruler accepted the assimilation of the local aborigines, and the Chinese language merged with the local language to become the Yuemang language.

The language barrier made it difficult for Annan to join him after this point.

Chen Lan couldn't figure out the future, but he had a deep understanding of the harm caused by too many indigenous people in the territory.

The two have reached a consensus and began to draw up the details of cooperation.

Chen Lan's territory is located in Buhaikou, which will be Qibu, Taiping Province, Vietnam in the future. There is a port in the territory, which can be in close contact with Guangzhou Port.

Both economic and strategic support are very convenient.

At the same time, Chen Lan's territory is located in the Red River Delta, with stretches of rice fields, and even three seasons of rice can give the Central Plains a lot of support.

mutual benefit.

Chen Lan's face was full of red. With the support of the Central Plains, the unification of Annan is just around the corner.

After seeing off Chen Shouzhong, Chen Lan seemed to be in a dream, this person was very happy.

His confidant Hua Yang reminded: "Ming Gong, Ding Buling is still waiting for news."

Chen Lan was taken aback for a moment. With the support of Zhongyuan, he was in such a good mood that he actually forgot about it. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Let's see each other then."

Although he has the support of the Central Plains and his backing, Chen Lan knows that he has to be strong himself to strike the iron.

If everything depends on the Central Plains, I am the fish on the knife board.

I have to show my own value, show my strength and significance, and prove to the Central Plains court that I have the ability and qualifications to suppress Jiaozhi.

I have a lot of troops, a vast land, and a lot of wealth, but I lack generals who can recruit and fight well.

Ding Buling is a famous cochin general, if he can be persuaded to follow him, great things will be accomplished.

The territory of Dingbuling is very close to Buhaikou of Chenlan, which is in Hualu Cave in the southeast.

Ding Buling does not belong to the twelve envoys, but his strength is no less than the twelve envoys.

Ding Buling is a Sinicized barbarian of Jiaozhi, and his father Ding Gong is the governor of Huanzhou.When he was still a child, Ding Gongzhu died, and Ding Buling inherited his position and ruled in Dahuang Hualu Cave.

Hualu Dongben is weak in strength, but the leader of Dante's tribe is a rare figure. He conquered the north and south, and because he has no defeats, he was praised by the tribe as the "King of Ten Thousand Victories", and he has become no less than the existence of the Twelve Envoys.

"Father, good news!"

Ding Kuanglian stepped into the cave and came to Ding Buling's side.

Ding Buling was tall and tall, with a huge shoehorn face, which looked very strange. His slender eyes showed a hint of a smile, and guessed: "Chen Minggong has agreed to our surrender?"

Ding Kuanglian said: "That's not true, but the news has come and asked my father to go to Buhaikou to talk about it. I think it's to discuss our surrender. Who can know the strength of my Hualu Cave, who knows the strength of Jiaozhi? Father is willing to surrender, but Chen Minggong is not. Fool, how can you refuse?"

"Okay!" Ding Buling said without hesitation: "For my father, let's take a trip, to pay a visit to 'father' his old man..."

The father and son looked at each other and laughed because of the "father".

Ding Buling is holding a script of the protagonist in his hand. He was born in the general family, but his father died early and he was lonely since childhood.The uncle stole his father's power inheritance and drove them to a cave next to the mountain shrine.

With the support of his mother Tan, Ding Buling summoned his father's old department, successfully defeated and surrendered his uncle Ding Yu, and gained the foundation of Jiaozhi.

Then he went south and north, without any defeat, and became the famous King of All Victories in Jiaozhi.

However, the military power of Ding Buling is tyrannical, but the political power is extremely average.

He is a Sinicized barbarian. He is not a real Han. He is powerful and powerful. He does not have the support of the scholars. He has military capabilities, but because of lack of money and food, he cannot make expeditions and fight abroad for a long time.

Ding Buling has great ambitions, and has long had the ambition to become the king of Jiaozhi, but he has no military power, but no money and food to support him.

Facing this dilemma, Ding Buling thought of a solution.

Recognize father!

Chen Lan Chen Minggong has money, food, land and no son.

Buling Ding came to him to be his son, and after a hundred years of waiting for him, everything in Chen Lan would be led by Buling Ding.

The leader of his Ding tribe has an invincible army in his hands, and if he gets Chen Lan's money and food, how can he win Jiaozhi?
Ding Bu was summoned by Chen Lan, and without any delay, he rode lightly and quickly arrived at Buhaikou.

Chen Lan respected his future No. [-] general, and went out of the city to meet him in person. Seeing the strange appearance of Ding Buling, he was overjoyed.

This ancient book says: Inborn visions are priceless.

This Ding Buling's shoehorn face, which was as long as a donkey's face, seemed expensive at first glance.

Historically, when Chen Lan saw Ding Buling's appearance, he was overjoyed, adopted him as his adopted son, and handed over his army to him to lead.

After a hundred years of Chen Lan, Ding Buling integrated the financial and material resources of Buhaikou and the military strength of Hualudong, and put down the chaos of the twelve envoys in one fell swoop.

But now Chen Lan knew that his lack of heirs was also the reason why the Central Plains chose him. He could be the first uncrowned king of Jiaozhi, but he didn't count the right to choose the second one, so he had no idea of ​​adopting a son.

The leadership of the Ding Department is so peculiar, it is just right to be the number one general under him.

Ding Buling looked at "Father" in front of him, saluted respectfully and said hello: "I have met Ming Gong."

Chen Lan laughed loudly: "I have admired the name of King Wansheng for a long time. Sure enough, the name is as good as his person. If my father knows that you have achieved such an achievement, you must be very pleased under the nine springs... Come, let me enter the story .”

One of the two wants to accept the general, and the other wants to recognize the father, they are very compatible.

Until Chen Lan got to the point: "Let Nephew Ding know the truth, the old man has already contacted the Central Plains. Pan Mei is about to recommend someone as Jinghai Jiedu Envoy and Annan Protector. Once the appointment is made, the old man will use the name of the Son of Heaven, Crusade against the rebellion. At that time, let the good nephew be the commander, and you and I will serve the Central Plains together."

Ding Buling's expression froze instantly.

Compared with Chen Lan, a Cochin scholar who came from China, Ding Buling, as a local aborigine, did not have the slightest sense of belonging to the Central Plains, but was very hostile.

Jiaozhi is a scholar group composed of Han people who have the right to speak, and they are not allowed to be reused by local natives.

Thinking that I have spent all my time planning so far, but it is not as good as the call from the Central Plains, I feel very aggrieved in my heart, and said: "I wonder if the emperor of the Central Plains can be trusted? Back then, the emperor of Lingnan also vowed to say this and that, but the result was still a disagreement. Send troops to conquer."

Ding Buling had an ominous premonition about Pan Mei's southern expedition, and he didn't want it to be true.

Chen Lan also thought that he was worried about his own interests, and said: "The emperor of the Central Plains is wise and powerful, and he will definitely not treat his nephew badly. As far as the limited ability is in Jiaozhi, it is a humiliation. If you don't perform well like this, when you show your merits, This old man recommends you to His Majesty as a general, to join forces with such famous generals as Cao Bin, Pan Mei, and Li Chuyun, and to fight against opponents like Khitan. If you were ten years younger, this old man would not give you this opportunity."

Ding Buling forced himself to be calm, pretended to be a snake, and returned to Hualu Cave in a daze after drinking with Chen Lan for a lifetime.

Ding Kuanglian came towards him and said with a smile, "Father, this is great news."

Ding Buling got angry and scolded: "What better news than Chen Lan's support from the Central Plains?"

Feeling drunk, he drew out the sword at his waist, and chopped at a tree with the mouth of a bowl beside him.

The sword enters the big tree for three points and cannot move forward.

He swung three swords in a row and successfully broke the sword.

The leader of Ding Department threw away his sword and scolded: "Chen Lan, this bastard is the sinner of my cochin. It's shameful and hateful."

Ding Buling wanted to be the emperor of Jiaozhi, not a puppet of the Central Plains, a dog of the Central Plains.

Chen Lan conspired with the Central Plains, and in his opinion it was not easy to invite Dong Zhuo to Beijing.

As far as the urine nature of the Central Plains is concerned, if Annan is involved, there is room for maneuver.

Ding Kuanglian's face was also pale for a while, and he saw the problem behind it.

There will be no good things if the Central Plains are mixed in.

Chief Ding vented his anger and said, "What's your news?"

Ding Kuanglian said: "When our people were fishing, they caught a man from the sea. It turned out to be an eunuch from Lingnan..."

Ding Buling cheered up and exclaimed, "It's Liu Yan?"

The news of Liu Yu's exile at sea has already spread all over the world.

Jiaozhi is adjacent to Lingnan, and the news has spread a long time ago.

Ding Kuanglian said: "It's probably his person. He was frightened and hadn't had time to interrogate him. I guessed it from the material of his clothes and the Lingnan official seal on his body..."

"Go, take me to see!"

Ding Buling was greatly moved. According to the news, when Liu Yu ran away, he took away the treasures stored in Lingnan for many years. If he could get this batch of treasures, he would be able to succeed even if he didn't have Chen Lan.

When I came to the cave, I saw a fat man without a beard who had already changed into a leather coat, squatting on a corner of the earthen bed, hugging the quilt, and looked at Ding Buling who came in with a look of horror.

The leader of Ding cut straight to the point and pulled out the sword from Ding Kuanglian's waist, threw it in front of the fat man, and said, "We don't raise useless people in Hualu Cave. If you don't tell me something that will change your life, or you will kill yourself."

The sword turned several times on the soil bed and buzzed continuously.

Fatty Wushu shuddered, and said, "Yes, my servant Gong Chengshu is the envoy of the Wanhua Palace in Lingnan, the Great General of Hussars..."

Ding Buling and Ding Kuanglian looked at each other, and they both saw the happiness in each other's eyes.

Gong Chengshu, that's Liu Wei's most valued confidant.

It's just that I don't know why I am drifting in the sea.

It turned out that Liu Yu led his wives, concubines, a small number of confidants and palace guards into exile at sea.

At the beginning, the small life was quite comfortable, but as time went by, conflicts were inevitable.

Lu Qiongxian, Fan Huzi, and Gong Chengshu were used to being arrogant and domineering because of Liu Yu's favor in the Southern Han Dynasty.Drifting at sea is also a look of domineering.

The result was tragic.

County magistrates are not as good as the current management. These big shots, at this critical time, have lost the blessing of status and status, and are not as good as the grassroots current management officials.

Liu Wei fled eagerly, and there were not many eunuchs and guards with him. They were all old people beside Liu Wei, and they usually bullied others.

How could he bear the birdishness of people like Lu Qiongxian, Fan Huzi, and Gong Chengshu?

At first, I could restrain myself, but as life became more and more boring, conflicts and contradictions began to erupt.

Lu Qiongxian and Fan Huzi disappeared for no apparent reason.

Fan Huzi is nothing more than a witch, but Lu Qiongxian holds the official position of servant, and has another level of status.

Liu Yu's woman just disappeared on the boat.

Liu Wei didn't dare to ask questions at all, and Gong Chengshu and Li Tuo also realized that something was wrong, and began to act with their tails between their legs, not daring to do anything out of line.

After drifting at sea for more than half a month, I came to an unnamed island in the South China Sea, looking for water sources.

Gong Chengshu overheard that the eunuchs conspired with the guards to directly steal Liu Yu's ship and treasure.

When Gong Chengshu panicked, he told Liu Yan the news.

Then the conspiracy turned into an outright robbery, and Gong Chengshu jumped into the sea with a big wooden barrel in his arms in order to escape for his life...
