Chapter 561 Persuasion (4000)

At this time, in Chenliu City, apart from the patrolling soldiers, there was no one on the street, because it was a war now, and accidents would easily happen if the curfew was not enforced.

But the various mansions in Chen Liucheng were brightly lit and no one fell asleep.

"Brother, what do you think of the current situation?"

A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes asked his elder brother in the chief seat.

Although the elder brother is not old, he has already become a genius. As soon as his brother raised his butt, he knew what fart he was about to fart.

"The current situation? Although the Duke of Han has the upper hand, the Duke of Wei relies on the height of the city and the danger of the pond, and the abundance of food and grass. As long as he can defend for a year or so, the Duke of Han will definitely be unable to fight again and retreat on his own."

The elder brother took a sip of tea.

"Brother, you know what I want to say! Don't hide it from your brother!"

The middle-aged man said anxiously.

"I am telling the truth!"

The elder brother is still not in a hurry.

The middle-aged man jumped down from the chair angrily, and said to his elder brother: "Brother, His Royal Highness the Duke of Han is very good-natured, and all the civil and military officials on the top of the city have seen it with their own eyes. Except for Xiongxin and a few others, no one came to support Chen Liu. Most importantly, the [-] troops led by Han Wei in Jinzhou had already been wiped out! Even if the Han army withdraws this time, our Great Wei still has Don't have the strength to turn around?"

"It's better to descend to the Han!"

The middle-aged man finally put forward his own suggestion to the elder brother in the chair.

"Successful man?"

The elder brother obviously smiled, and put the teacup on the table: "When you supported Duke Wei, you were the most active and hated the Duke of Han Liu De the most. Why did you change so drastically today? My elder brother is a little surprised."

"Brother, today is different from the past!"

The middle-aged man persuaded him: "Duke Wei greeted His Majesty and took Jinzhou back then. Who would have expected the situation today, and Duke Han has unified the five states, and Duke Han himself is even more wise and powerful, and his military and civil servants are all the generals. Cai, if there is anyone who can rule the world in the future, it is likely to be the Duke of Han! Brother, only surrendering to the Duke of Han can save our family!"

"If the Duke of Han can rule the world because he occupies the five prefectures and has enough elite soldiers and food, then the rest of the princes will simply surrender and surrender. Why bother to raise troops to resist?"

The elder brother snorted directly and said.

"Brother, you are lying!"

The middle-aged man said again: "Which of the princes in the world has no ambitions, but we are different, we are just to protect the family!"

"Preserving the family? How can it be so easy in troubled times? My brother, Duke Han is harsh on the family, and he conducts imperial examinations to cut off the roots of the family. Therefore, it is not a good place for us to go under the command of Duke Han. It can last for a hundred years, and it will never fade!"

The elder brother said to his younger brother.

"Brother!"

The middle-aged man is persuading: "I have sent people to investigate. Although Han Gong slaughtered many families, those families were all killed for treason, but none of them were killed for innocence. There are also so-called imperial examinations. How many children from poor families have studied? Most of the people who take the imperial examination are children from aristocratic families. What is the difference between this and the previous ones? At most, those who have no ability will be screened out. mostly.

The Duke of Han could only find other ways, such as the Qimen Army, but it also could not threaten the status of the family.

What's more, in order to appease Luanzhou, Duke Han even married a daughter of the Yin family, so it can be seen that His Royal Highness Han Gong is not trying to be an enemy of the family! "

"What do you think about building a school?"

The elder brother asked directly.

"This is the general trend! Even if Duke Han doesn't build schools, will there be no private schools in this world? There are so many poor people who can't get enough to eat. Is it possible to send their children to school?"

"It is said that the tuition is free and there are even subsidies"

"Brother, you think too much. His Royal Highness Han is tired of conquering the world. How much food will be put on it. To be honest, I think that this school will be over soon. In this world, it is still The world of the family."

"Maybe what you said is right, but we have made a contribution to supporting His Royal Highness Duke Wei. If His Royal Highness Duke Wei survives this battle, our family will still be prominent, but if we surrender to Duke Han, what will other families think of us? How can we gain a foothold in Chenliu City?"

"It's not just our family?"

"what?"

The originally calm Patriarch suddenly raised his head and looked directly at his younger brother.

"Shhhhhh!"

Several arrows shot at Cheng Yaojin's feet, and Cheng Yaojin shouted: "I am Cheng Yaojin, open the city gate!"

The captain on the top of the wall was puzzled and asked his subordinates, "Cheng Yaojin? Who is this person?"

"I don't know!"

Most of the soldiers shook their heads, indicating that they were not very clear.

In the end, one person had a little impression, and said to his senior official: "This Cheng Yaojin seems to be a general under General Shan. Wasn't he captured by the Han army? Why did you come back?"

"Under General Shan?"

The captain then said: "Then go find General Shan!"

"Yes!"

Shan Xiongxin hurried over after hearing the news, and shouted to Cheng Yaojin at the bottom of the city: "Is that you? Yaojin?"

It was too dark under the city, even though Cheng Yaojin was holding a torch, the light flickered on and off, making it difficult to recognize.

"It's me, Brother Shan!"

When Shan Xiongxin heard Cheng Yaojin's voice, he was overjoyed immediately, and said to the captain guarding the city: "Quick! Open the city gate!"

The captain at the head of the city said to Shan Xiong with a distressed face: "General Shan, it's not that I don't want to open the door. There is a military order. If the general of the Chinese army finds out about this, he must be punished, not to mention the situation outside is unknown, otherwise Let’s wait for Tianming to talk about it!”

Shan Xiongxin was furious, grabbed the captain of the city by the neck, and cursed: "Can't you let someone watch his brother freeze outside the city overnight?"

"There's really nothing I can do about it, why don't the general ask the general of the Chinese army?"

The general of the Chinese army that the captain said was Li Lei.

"hateful!"

Shan Xiongxin, as the leader of Wuzhou, has never been so angry. The captain in front of him is obviously deliberately making Shan Xiongxin look bad.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin's voice suddenly came from outside the city, "Second Brother Shan, go and tell His Royal Highness Wei Gong that Han Gong let me back because he asked me to bring a letter to His Highness Wei Gong."

"Humph!"

Shan Xiongxin pushed away the captain guarding the city, and shouted towards the city: "Yaojin, wait a moment, I will go to His Royal Highness Wei Gong!"

After Shan Xiongxin left, the soldiers beside the captain asked quietly: "Captain, after all, this general Shan led a large army to help, and the lord has also praised him. Isn't it good to wipe his face like this?"

"cut!"

The captain snorted disdainfully and said: "It's just a gangster, if you call him a general, you really regard yourself as a character, don't worry about him!"

The captain is the son of everyone in the city, of course he looks down on Shan Xiongxin's family background, regardless of Shan Xiongxin's famous name, but in the eyes of this group of aristocratic families, he is nothing more than a bunch of grassroots bandits.

Although he has made a lot of contributions, how could he be caught in their eyes? Similarly, Lu Bu is the same, but now is a troubled time, with Lu Bu relying on his own bravery, no one dares to act presumptuously in front of him, and Li Yun attaches so much importance to Lu Bu .

Shan Xiongxin went straight to Duke Wei's mansion. Although there were soldiers patrolling the streets on the way, they dared not stop them when they saw that it was Shan Xiongxin.

Before Shan Xiongxin came to Duke Wei's mansion, he was directly stopped by the soldiers guarding outside Duke Wei's mansion. Shan Xiongxin hurriedly said: "This is the former general Shan Xiongxin. I have something urgent to see His Royal Highness Wei Gong!"

The leading general said coldly: "Wait a minute, I'll report it!"

Shan Xiongxin waited for nearly half an hour before the general came out and said to Shan Xiong: "You come with me!"

"Yes, thank you General!"

"Don't dare, this is Chang Shengkai, the deputy commander of the Left Army Guards, who cannot be called a general!"

Chang Shengkai led Shan Xiongxin to the lobby, where Li Yun was waiting for Shan Xiongxin.

Shan Xiongxin hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and said, "The last general Shan Xiongxin greets His Highness!"

"General Shan, please get up!"

Li Yun personally helped Shan Xiongxin up, and said to Shan Xiong: "General Shan, come late at night, is there anything important?"

Shan Xiongxin then told Li Yun what happened just now.

Li Yundao: "Trust? You bring Cheng Yaojin here and ask him alone."

"Yes!"

Shan Xiongxin clapped his hands in agreement, left Duke Wei's mansion, and went straight to the top of the city.

After the captain reluctantly opened the city gate, Shan Xiongxin was not in the mood to deal with him, and led Cheng Yaojin directly to Duke Wei's mansion.

"What letter did Liu De ask you to give Gu?"

Li Yun asked directly.

Cheng Yaojin took out a letter from his pocket, presented it to Li Yun, and said, "This is the letter."

Li Yun took the letter. This is the paper that is already in circulation in the Han Kingdom. It has also been passed down to Chen Liulai. Someone even made the paper in Chen Liu, but it is not as delicate as that handed down from the Han Kingdom.

Li Yun glanced at the seal above, it was the private seal of Liu De, Duke of Han.

Li Yun asked Cheng Yaojin: "Did Liu De say anything when he handed this letter to you?"

"Han Gong said that you will know it after reading this letter!"

After hearing this, Li Yun opened the envelope, and there was only a thin piece of paper inside. Li Yun unfolded it, and the beautiful handwriting inside made Li Yun's eye circles red all of a sudden.

This is not a letter from Liu De, but a letter from Li Lan to his elder brother.

Why does Li Yun resent Li Lan, but she is his own sister after all!
"You go down first!"

Li Yun waved to Shan Xiongxin and the two of them.

Shan Xiongxin and Cheng Yaojin said yes.

When he got out of the gate of Duke Wei's mansion, Shan Xiongxin gave Chang Sheng, the deputy commander of the pro-guard army, a shot.

Chang Shengkai just nodded slightly.

At this time, Shan Xiongxin turned his head and smiled and said to Cheng Yaojin: "Brother Wei is really happy that you can come back. You go back to the mansion with Brother Wei, and tell Brother Wei what happened in Hanying!"

The two did not ride horses, but led the horses and walked on the street. Cheng Yaojin was usually fast and stubborn, baring his teeth and claws, unable to calm down, and was often scolded by Shan Xiongxin and Wang Bodang.

But it has not been long, Cheng Yaojin has matured a bit, Cheng Yaojin asked Shan Xiongxin: "Who is that man?"

Shan Xiong said, "It's Wei Gong's deputy commander of the personal guard!"

Cheng Yaojin stopped suddenly, Shan Xiongxin asked doubtfully, "Why didn't you leave?"

"Second brother Shan, back then I and the elder brother of the Wang family fought all over the five states with you and dominated the rivers and lakes. No matter how many difficulties and dangers there were, we never saw the second brother bow down to anyone."

Cheng Yaojin's eyes were red, and he pointed in the direction of Duke Wei's mansion and cursed: "That's just a deputy commander, why should the second brother be so humble, is this the heroic and extraordinary second brother Shan I know!"

Cheng Yaojin gritted his teeth, but couldn't help it, and covered his face with tears.

A tall and thick man squatted on the ground in pain, but this scene made people feel a little sour.

Shan Xiongxin moved his lips slightly, leaned down, patted Cheng Yaojin on the shoulder, and said: "This is Chen Liu after all, so if you throw a stone at random, maybe one out of ten people is a descendant of an aristocratic family. They look down on us." People in the green forest are also normal."

"Very normal?"

Cheng Yaojin wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and cursed: "A small captain guarding the city can speak ill of you, even if we are sealed as marquises and become generals, so what?"

"Whether it's civil servants or military generals here, whoever is not a generation with prominent wealth and ancestors, there is room for us to display our talents here. Second brother, wake up! We are not welcome here!"

Shan Xiongxin forced a smile and said, "Where are you talking about, Wei Gong obviously attaches great importance to us."

The two left and talked, and they came directly to Shan Xiongxin's mansion. Cheng Yaojin stood at the gate of Shan Xiong's mansion for a long time, pointing to the dilapidated mansion and said to Shan Xiong: "Second brother, this is what you said to pay attention to." ?”

Shan Xiongxin explained: "Bitting gold is not what you think. After all, there is a big war now, and there is no spare energy to repair the mansion."

"What about Lu Bu's mansion?"

Cheng Yaojin questioned directly.

"That mansion is much more luxurious than the second brother's house, and I don't believe it. There is no house to choose in this huge city of Chenliu!"

Shan Xiongxin was speechless for a moment.

Cheng Yaojin paused, still looking at the dilapidated gate of the mansion, and said to Shan Xiong: "Second brother, follow me and surrender to Duke Han!"

"Returning to the surrendered man!!!"

Shan Xiongxin was a little absent-minded, and when he realized it, he was shocked.

"Bite gold, you!"

Cheng Yaojin took a step forward and said, "Second brother, under Duke Wei's command, I'm afraid I'll be like this for the rest of my life. Being suppressed by the children of the aristocratic family, I'll never be able to hold my head up again. What's more, it's another matter if you wait!"

Without waiting for Shan Xiongxin to ask, Cheng Yaojin said: "Most of the generals under the Duke of Han's command are now from poor families, from poor and humble backgrounds. The governor of Guan used to make a living as a peddler, and General Zhang Fei once butchered pigs and sold meat. General Dian Wei is a hunter in the mountains, and General Liu Pi was once a bandit, but now he is in a high position, as long as he has the ability, the Duke of Han will definitely use him."

Cheng Yaojin grabbed Shan Xiongxin's hand, and said: "Second brother, your martial arts skills are extraordinary, as long as you make military achievements, you will be able to rank as a supreme minister in the future, why should you look at the face of that family here!"

"Bite gold! You don't understand! How could Duke Han tolerate me?"

Cheng Yaojin looked directly at Shan Xiongxin, and said decisively: "What if I say His Highness Han's second brother?"

 Thanks to Tao Huanhuan for the reward of [-] starting coins, thank you very much~~
