Chapter 42
Wang Xijian stepped into the camp, first gave Cui Qi a hard look, and then bowed his hands to the King of Han to persuade him: "My lord must not lead the army to go south. My lord has been operating in the land of Qilu for many years, and the strength of the army and the people are equally available, and our army Most of the soldiers are the children of Shandong. If they go south, the land of Shandong will fall into the hands of the imperial court. The soldiers and their families will be prisoners. You easily agreed to the prince to occupy the south and build a country to fight against the imperial court, please think again!"

Han Wang Liang was silent, Wang Xi was right, although he raised the anti-flag, but his identity has not changed, he is the prince of Jin.The Chen Dynasty was destroyed in the hands of Da Jin. Now that he wants to occupy the south and build a country, the wealthy families in the south will definitely not support him. This way is not feasible.

Cui Qi hurriedly said: "My lord, is there any other way for us to choose now, if we retreat to Qi County, it will become a fish in a urn, the land of Qilu is surrounded by sea on three sides like an isolated island, our army will be defeated, my lord. "

The King of Han looked at Cui Qi and said, "If it's according to what you say, will the powerful families in the south support me?"

This world, on the surface, belongs to the Jiang family, but in the final analysis, it belongs to the aristocratic family. If you want to build a country in the south to fight against the imperial court, it is impossible without the cooperation of the powerful families in the south.Even if he holds a general in his hand, it won't work, because once he becomes murderous against those wealthy families, the imperial court will not send soldiers and horses, and those wealthy families will use tenants and slaves to form an army against him.

Cui Qi said: "As long as the lord gives them land, generous rewards, entrusts them with heavy responsibilities, and promises, those rich families will definitely support the lord. Now, lord, only this road has life, and the rest are all dead ends."

Wang Xi snorted coldly and said, "My lord, please think again."

Han Wangliang was caught in a tangle. While he felt that what Cui Qi said was too far-fetched to be realized, he combined the pros and cons and found that this road was feasible.It's just that he was worried that those powerful families would not support him at all, because he was the prince of Jin Dynasty, a nobleman in Guanzhong.

Seeing Han Wangliang's expression, Wang Xi knew that he was shaken, and immediately yelled at Cui Qi, "Wolf is ambitious, if the prince enters the south, he might become a puppet of a wealthy family!"

Hearing this, Cui Qi couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately pointed at Wang Xi, "You bastard, why are you targeting me so many times!"

"You dare to call me a beast?" Wang Xi rolled up his sleeves and was about to punch him twice.The King of Han on the side shouted angrily: "Stop."

He stared at Wang Xi and Cui Qi, "Get down!"

The two snorted coldly, shook their sleeves at each other, and turned to leave.

Wang Xi returned to his tent, quickly wrote a letter, and handed it to his followers, asking him to leave the camp immediately.

In Changping County, Yu Wenshu received Yang Taisu's order and immediately led his army to attack Qi County.

"General, is it wrong to cross Wuyang County and directly attack Qi County?" Zen Master Yuwen asked Yu Wenshu, riding on a horse with a lance in his hand.

Yuwen said: "What do you know, you servant girl? Now that the King of Han's army is gathered in Wei County, Wuyang County or Qi County, they are all extremely weak. This general has a strong army and horses, and he will be able to overcome them."

Zen Master Yuwen pursed his lips and bowed his head to guard him.

Yu Wenshu chuckled, since Yang Taisu gave him the first merit of suppressing the rebellion, how could he live up to Yang Taisu's painstaking efforts.

Chang'an City, compared to the wars in the Central Plains, Chang'an City is much more comfortable. The common people still work at sunrise and rest at sunset every day, living a regular life.

At the foot of Dalin Temple Mountain, Dai Wangfei Zheng took Jiang Chengxiao and Princess Leping out of the bullock cart.Mrs. Zheng came here to fulfill her wish today, because Jiang Chengxiao returned from Qi County safely, and Mrs. Zheng came to pay homage to the Buddha.

Jiang Chengxiao supported Zheng Shi and walked up the steps.He didn't actually want to come, but Mrs. Zheng asked him to come along, saying that worshiping Buddha must be sincere.

"Aniang is only a few days old, why don't you come back after resting for a few more days, and the Bodhisattva will not blame you if you postpone the ceremony for a few days." Jiang Chengxiao said.

Mrs. Zheng said: "My son is taking care of her every day. As a mother, he is already in better health. How can he be so weak?" It really moved her.

The servants of Daiwangfu lined up on both sides to prevent idlers from approaching, and the foot of the mountain was also guarded by the servants to prevent other pilgrims from going up the mountain.

After walking for a while, Zheng's forehead was covered with fine sweat, but he still insisted on going on.

Stopping and stopping, they finally arrived at the main hall after a cup of tea.

The monks in Dalin Temple had already heard the news, so they stood respectfully on both sides and waited. When Mrs. Zheng appeared, a monk stepped forward and proclaimed the Buddha's name, "Princess, please enter the hall to offer incense."

Mrs. Zheng nodded slightly, and led Jiang Chengxiao and Le Ping into the main hall, while the monk was stopped outside the hall by Nan Jiyun.

Zheng asked puzzled, "Why did my son stop these masters?"

Jiang Chengxiao said with a smile: "Aniang worships the Buddha, how can anyone bother her."

Zheng Shi smiled and did not stop him, and the three of them entered the hall.Mrs. Zheng first offered three sticks of incense respectfully, then knelt on the futon, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes to pray, and murmured something.Le Ping and Jiang Chengxiao stood behind Zheng, the two looked at each other.

"Why don't you go to offer incense?" Jiang Chengxiao asked Le Ping in a low voice.

Le Ping grinned, and replied in the same low voice: "Brother, why don't you go to offer incense?"

Hearing this, the corners of Jiang Chengxiao's mouth curled up slightly, and he reached out to touch Le Ping's small head, and looked up at the golden Buddha with calm eyes.

Looking at Jiang Chengxiao, Le Ping suddenly said: "Brother, you don't believe this, right?"

This surprised Jiang Chengxiao, how did this little girl know, did she guess?
"Why do you say that?" Jiang Chengxiao asked calmly.

Le Ping said seriously: "Because brother doesn't seem to care."

"Aren't you the same?"

"I learned from brother."

Jiang Chengxiao:
After Mrs. Zheng finished praying, she turned around and looked at Jiang Chengxiao and Le Ping looking at each other, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you two doing? Come here to worship the Buddha."

"Brother, please first." Le Ping smiled and made a "please" gesture.

Seeing this, he felt that Le Ping was waiting to see his jokes.Le Ping proudly raised his chin, as if answering him, "Yes, I was just watching you joke."

Jiang Chengxiao stretched out his hand and squeezed her white jade face, looked at Zheng Shi and said, "Aniang, the Buddha is in my heart, the Buddha is everywhere, it can feel my heart."

"Yes, the Buddha is in the heart, the Buddha is everywhere, Le Ping thinks so too." Le Ping echoed with a smile,

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxiao glanced at her angrily.Ever since she got close to Mrs. Zheng, this little girl has become more and more presumptuous. She never dared to joke with herself before.

Seeing that he really didn't want to worship the Buddha, and didn't want to force him, Zheng just looked at Le Ping and said, "You don't want to worship the Buddha either?"

Hearing this, Le Ping was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Zheng's stern gaze, and muttered: "A Niang always favors Brother."

Then obediently offered incense, following Zheng's example, closed eyes and prayed.
