Dajin royal family

Chapter 283 Ambush (33177)

The Southern Chen Society is more powerful than the Southern Liang Society because the Southern Chen Society has inherited the background of the Chen Dynasty.

On the other hand, the Nanliang Society will be a bit worse, because the Nanliang Dynasty was destroyed earlier, and the background has been consumed too much.

The current leader of the Southern Chen Society is Chen Qiujin, who was born in the clan of the Chen Dynasty.

Outside the room of the inn were full of expert guards from the Nanlianghui and Nanchenhui, and in the room were the important backbones of the Nanchenhui and Nanlianghui.

"You want to modify the original sphere of influence?"

Cen Zhenben was holding a map of the South in his hand, and looked up at the two people opposite him.

Opposite sat two middle-aged men, one was dressed in military uniform, lean and capable, his name was Hou Jing, he was the heir of Nan Chen general Hou Xiaowen.

Another middle-aged man wore a long robe, named Sima Fa, who was also the empress of Nan Chen's loyal minister.

Sima Fa slowly said: "Brother Cen, the times have changed now, can you hold on to the territories given to you?"

"you!"

Cen Zhenben immediately became angry, "You guys are not keeping your promises. You have clearly agreed that Bashu and Jingzhou will belong to us, and Wuyue and Jiaozhi will belong to you. Now you want to divide Jingzhou equally. What is the reason for this!"

Hou Jing said in a deep voice: "Mr. Cen, don't forget that Jingzhou has been the land of my Chen Dynasty since ancient times. Giving you half of it is considered as support for you. You don't know good people."

Cen Zhen Benz laughed angrily, "Jingzhou has belonged to our Nanliang since ancient times, when it became your Nanchen, I'm not afraid that the wind will flash my tongue when I say such words."

Sima Fa asked back: "Brother Cen, if Jingzhou is really given to you, can you hold it?"

Cochin?

What the hell is that place? Where is Jingzhou with a large population and an important strategic position.

"Whether we can keep it or not is our business, and it's not up to you to intervene. I don't agree with this proposal!" Cen Zhenben sternly refused.

If Jingzhou is abandoned, Bashu can only defend itself, so how can we talk about spying on the world.Furthermore, if Nanchen were allowed to acquire Jingzhou, there was no guarantee that they would not develop wolfish ambitions and spy on Bashu.

Hou Jingdao: "Mr. Cen, you have no control over this matter. Do you want to ask your lord for instructions before replying to us?"

"There's no need for that!" Cen Zhenben first refused, and then said: "When I came, the lord had already asked me to represent him with full authority. It is impossible for my lord to agree to such a thing."

Surprisingly tricky.

Sima Fa thought to himself, then changed his expression, and said with a smile: "Brother Cen, think about it, you can't hold Jingzhou with your strength alone, why don't you give it to us for the time being, and wait for you to restore Nanliang?" How about we return it to you after it becomes stronger?"

Do you think Cen Zhenben is a fool?
"Brother Sima, you are not Zhuge Wuhou, and I am not Lu Su, let's discuss the matter."

If this Jingzhou is really handed over to them, let alone return it, they are afraid that Chen Bing will threaten them at Nanliang in front of their house.

Cen Zhenben's reaction did not exceed Sima Fa's expectation, he said: "Brother Cen, the big thing is still undecided, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to hold back an inch."

"You are a thief shouting "Stop a thief!"

Cen Zhenben was not pissed off by him, it was obvious that you first proposed to seize the territory, but now it is his fault, what is the reason for this.

Hou Jingdao: "Why don't we do this, you and my two families take a step back, we don't want to divide Jingzhou equally, but only a few counties in Jingbei, what does Mr. Cen think?"

"You are still not sincere!"

Cen Zhenben's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Jingzhou's population is concentrated in a few counties in Jingbei. Why do they want Jingnan's people?

When it comes to this, the two sides have reached a stalemate.

"Mr. Cen, don't forget that we, Nanchen, will support you with so much money." Hou Jing said coldly.

Cen Zhenben paused, his face became cloudy and uncertain.

"Does President Chen know about this?" Cen Zhenben asked.

Sima Fa explained unhurriedly: "Mr. Cen represents President Xiao, and the two of us can naturally represent the Lord."

"Do you really want Jingzhou?"

"That's natural." Sima Fa said: "If you can hold Jingzhou, we will naturally not want it, but if you can't hold it, we don't help, what if it is taken away by the Jin Dynasty?"

"Mr. Cen, don't cause our two plans to fail because of your temporary greed."

It sounds high-sounding, but it still needs territory in essence.

Cen Zhenben pondered for a moment, then asked, "Which counties in Jingbei do you want?"

Hearing this, the corner of Sima Fa's mouth twitched, this Cen Zhenben still gave up in the face of the facts, admitting so early, is it necessary to spend so much time talking.

Hou Jingdao: "It reaches Yiyang, Handong, and Chunling in the north, and Nanjun and Baling in the south."

This is not just dividing Jingzhou equally, but also taking the best counties.

After the words fell, Cen Zhenben fell into deep thought.

Sima Fa and Hou Jing did not bother, and each drank a cup of tea.

After half a stick of incense, Cen Zhenben still didn't speak, Sima Fa urged: "Brother Cen, haven't you considered yet?"

"Brother Sima, if you cede the land to someone else, would you be able to make a decision so quickly?" Cen Zhenben asked back.

Hou Jing frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "What is cession, Jingzhou originally belonged to our Chen Dynasty."

"Hey, if it wasn't for Chen Baxian's rebellion, would there still be your Chen Dynasty?" Cen Zhenben sarcastically.

Chen Baxian was originally a general of Xiao Liang, but later rebelled and established himself as the Chen Dynasty.

Sima Fa was not happy and said: "Brother Cen, what's the use of looking at these history now, the current enemy of our two families is the Jin Dynasty, don't be confused."

"Just promise you like this, I can't explain to the master when I go back." Cen Zhenben said.

"Then what do you want?" Sima Fa asked.

Cen Zhenben thought for a while, and said, "You have to give me something, let me go back so I can go to the master."

This Sima Fa must have done it on purpose, he couldn't even understand this hint.

Hearing this, Hou Jing said: "Yes, we still have [-] intact armors."

"Not enough." Cen Zhenben shook his head.

Sima Fa said: "How about another thirty thousand shi of grain?"

"Fifty thousand shi of grain." Cen Zhenbun said.

"Okay, just fifty thousand lieutenants and fifty thousand shi of grain, let's sign the paperwork." Sima Fa gritted his teeth and agreed.

In fact, they don't want to turn against Nanliang at this time. As he himself said, the current enemy is the Jin Dynasty.

"No rush, I'll go back and ask my lord for instructions, please wait for a moment." Cen Zhenben said suddenly.

Hou Jing patted the table, "What do you mean? Didn't you say that you can represent your lord? Now you regret it!"

Cen Zhenben shook his head, "Brother Hou, if you are replaced by my current position, aren't you afraid that the lord will disagree? Don't worry, I will come back as soon as I go. Of course, if you two are willing, you can also follow me." Go back and meet my master together."

Sima Fa rolled his eyes, if he really followed you, would he still have a chance to come back.

Hou Jing and Sima Fa looked at each other, and finally agreed to Cen Zhenben's request.

Although Yuzhang County is an area where their two forces intersect, the leader of the Nanliang Society has been operating here for a long time. If they really make a move, they may suffer a loss.

Furthermore, now is not the time to turn against Nanliang.

With the consent of the two, Cen Zhenben snorted coldly, got up and left.

"Brother Sima, will Xiao Tong really agree to this condition?" Hou Jing was a little worried.

Don't look at others who are very tough in front of them, but in their hearts they don't think Xiao Tong will agree. Losing half of the land of Jingzhou, Nanliang is equivalent to being trapped to death in Shuzhong.

Sima Fa stroked his beard and shook his head, "I'm afraid they won't agree, but we must ask them to agree. If we don't get the land in Jingbei, we can only develop to Shandong, and we can't aspire to the Central Plains."

"Shandong is very uneasy. The spies came back with news. In a short time, I'm afraid there will be a storm sweeping across Shandong."

Hou Jingdao: "Actually, I think we should fight Qingzhou. The Central Plains Luoyang court is in charge, so it's not so active for a while."

Hearing this, Sima Fa sneered, "Brother Hou, you are wrong, the emperor in Luoyang will be anxious soon."

"Because of Shandong?"

"No, it's not just Shandong. Although the emperor has been waiting for us to succeed, he never thought that someone is digging his roots." Sima Fa said.

Hou Jing was startled, then suddenly remembered something, and a little smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, there was a sound of 'puff puff' outside the window, followed by an arrow passing through the window and hitting the table between the two of them.

"what happened!"

Hou Jing and Sima Fa stood up at the same time, roaring in panic.

"My lord, there are troops surrounding the inn outside, and we are ambushed!"

"what!"

Before he could finish speaking outside, there was a shrill scream.

Blood splattered on the window, and the black one was reflected in the eyes of Hou Jing and the other two.
