Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 769 The so-called loyalty is just a bargaining chip for betrayal is not enough

After dinner.

The soldiers reported that Zhang Liang asked to see him.

"Master Changping is here, sit down."

As soon as Zhang Liang came in, he saluted respectfully. He was still a little excited when Luo Cheng called him Duke Changping with a smile.He wasn't originally from a peasant family in Xingyang County, he was really born in the grass.

Later, he went to Qi County to join Luo Cheng's army. Luo Cheng valued him and awarded him a personal guard. Then he became a school lieutenant step by step, and finally arranged for him to be in charge of intelligence affairs.

In the past few years, Zhang Liang has done a good job in intelligence work, and has been praised by Luo Cheng several times.

This time, Luo Cheng personally invited Zhang Liang to be the founding Duke of Changping County. For a young man in his early thirties, this was simply unimaginable.

"Liang hasn't thanked the commander-in-chief for his promotion reward."

"You deserve it. When you came to vote for my army, I told you, work hard, and I will never treat my brothers badly."

Zhang Liang is full of emotion. Back then, Luo Cheng was nothing more than a small captain of the county army. Today, the former junior captain is now His Royal Highness King Qin, who has power all over the world, and he does not want to face the loess all his life The farmer's son now has to be made a county duke.

Greeted Zhang Liang to sit down.

Luo Cheng asked him, "Tell me about Chen Leng."

This time when Luo Cheng crossed the sea, his first goal was Chen Ling, and secondly, he wanted to see if he could hug the grass and beat the rabbit, and took Li Yuan. Who would have thought that Li Yuan could run faster than the rabbit.

His side was just at sea, but Li Yuan's side had seized a chance of survival and ran to Nanyang in no time.

"Marshal, Chen Leng is an amazing person."

Zhang Liang said.

If Zhang Liang, a person who specializes in intelligence work, can be called amazing, it means that Chen Ling is really amazing.

"Then tell me, how is this Chen Ling doing well? Also, do you think we still have a chance to persuade him to surrender?"

"Chen Leng's ancestors were actually ordinary people like my family. His family lived in Xiang'an, Lujiang County for generations. His grandfather's name was Chen Shuo. He was a fisherman, and he barely lived a self-sufficient life by fishing and catching shrimp."

But when the Chen family reached Chen Ling's father's generation, it began to prosper.

Chen Ling's father's name was Chen Xian. He was also a fisherman when he was young, but he was very brave when he became an adult.

This Zhang Dabao was greedy and indulgent, and the local people resented him, so the Empress Chen sent a servant to replace him.But when the new governor came to the state, Dabao was not reconciled, so he attacked and killed the new governor and raised his troops to rebel.

It's just that although Dabao is more ruthless, he doesn't have much ability, and he was defeated soon after he raised his army.

At this time, Chen Leng's father seized the opportunity and turned against Zhang Dabao anyway, and captured Dabao and his general Yang Tong alive and presented them to Chen Chao. With this merit, Chen Empress appointed Chen Xian as the governor of Qiaozhou.

Originally, Chen Xian was only an officer of Zhang Dabao's personal army, but in the end he became the governor all of a sudden, a fisherman's son completed a magnificent turn.

It’s just that the good times didn’t last long. Although Chen Xian became the governor, soon after, Queen Chen brought the country to ruin.

Later, Gao Zhihui, Wang Wenjin and others launched a rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River and refused to accept the rule of the Sui Dynasty. The powerful people from all over Lujiang also raised their troops to respond. At that time, all the powerful people in Lujiang came to support Chen Xian as the leader.

Chen Xian was not optimistic about these people's rebellion, and wanted to refuse. At this time, the young Chen Leng stood up and persuaded his father not to refuse.

He said something at that time, which fully proved that this young man was very wise. He said, "The rebellion has already started. If the father rejects them at this time, then they will definitely attack the father, and disaster will happen. If you don't Pretend to obey, and then make up your mind."

So Chen Xian pretended to accept everyone's recommendation and became the leader of the rebel army in Lujiang County, but secretly, Chen Xian sent Chen Leng to secretly meet with Sui Dynasty General Li Che, saying that the Chen family was willing to be an internal response.

At that time, there was great chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, and the powerful nobles from all over the country rebelled one after another. The surrender of Chen Xian and his son naturally made the emperor Yang Jian who was far away in Chang'an very happy.

Therefore, Chen Xian was specially granted the title of General of the Supreme Commander and Inspector of Xuanzhou, Duke of Qiaojun, and one thousand households in the city.

It can be said that the Chen family's father and son's operation is very coquettish.

It's just a pity that this matter was leaked before Li Che led the army to respond.

Chen Xian was killed by his rebels, and Chen Leng escaped with great difficulty. However, the Sui Dynasty did not forget the contributions of the Chen family and his son, so Chen Leng was appointed as the founding mansion, and he was asked to lead the local armed forces and support the court to quell the chaos.

Later, when Yang Guang guarded Jiangdu, Chen Leng came under his command and was very trusted by him.When Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, Chen Leng was granted the title of General Huben.

Later, Zhang Zhenzhou and Zhang Zhenzhou led more than 1 Dongyang soldiers to attack Liuqiu country, beheaded the old model Wang Huansi of Liuqiu country, and captured thousands of people. This battle made the emperor very happy, thinking that he was flat He has made great achievements in destroying the enemy's country, so he was promoted to Doctor You Guanglu.

Since then, he has successively served as the left guard of Donglai and the prefect of Pengjun.

After the Jiangdu mutiny, because he settled the mutiny with Li Yuan and killed the rebels who killed the king, he was named one of the six assistant ministers by Empress Xiao. The Sui army was controlled by him.

"Speaking of which, Chen Leng is indeed very good, but what I have seen from the information you have collected on Chen Leng is not a very sensible person. Such a person should not be as single-minded as Dugu Zou A loyal person is right, have you made contact with him?"

"I have been in contact with him all the time, but his attitude is ambiguous. I always feel that this Chen Leng is also hesitant. On the one hand, he feels that the Emperor Daye has a favor for him. These are all insignificant. But on the one hand, we are now strong and powerful, and he is a little hesitant."

Luo Cheng just smiled.

"At the end of the day, it's still up for grabs. The situation wasn't very clear before, so Chen Leng still refused to vote for us. But now, we've sent troops into the customs and won successive victories, so Chen Leng started to be tempted again."

'In this way, you send someone to contact Chen Leng again, and say that as long as he is willing to submit, I will play the emperor of Tokyo Zhide, and I will still make him Chen Guogong, and give him the post of General Zuo Wuwei, and the food seal will be five hundred. Households, [-] mu of land, and a gift for the prince and young teacher. "

Luo Cheng didn't care too much about Chen Leng's other affairs. There are two key points. One is that he now represents the last rule of the Jiangdu court in Jianghuai.

Secondly, Luo Cheng was very interested in his conquest of the Liuqiu Kingdom. As far as he knew, this Liuqiu Kingdom was actually the treasure island of Taiwan for later generations.

When he attacked Liuqiu, it was six years since Daye, and it has only been seven years since now.

Luo Cheng was very interested in Liuqiu country, so he valued Chen Leng who had fought Liuqiu before and was able to win. He hoped that he could send troops to Liuqiu again in the future to bring this land of Haidong into his territory.
