At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 164 Chen Youliang: Receive the land of the Han people and promote the prestige of the Han people

Two days later.

Ni Wenjun besieged the entire Hanyang with an army of [-].

Everyone in Hanyang Mansion was panicked, unable to sleep.

Ni Wenjun sent people to contact people with lofty ideals in Hanyang to find an opportunity to open the city gate, and promised to give them credit in front of Tianwan Emperor Xu Shouhui and give them beauty and treasure.

The two sides negotiated secretly, and everyone was happy.

Ni Wenjun and Chen Bing were near Hanyang, and when the news came back from Hanyang, they immediately sent troops to attack Hanyang.

At this time, it was already late at night, Ni Wenjun had already rested, but the candles in Chen Youliang's big tent were brightly lit.

In Chen Youliang's tent, apart from Chen Youliang, there are two younger brothers, Chen Youren and Chen Yougui, two older brothers, Chen Youdang and Chen Youzhi, and sworn brothers Zhang Dingbian and Gao Jian.

Chen Youliang sat at the desk, and the rest stood in two rows. Chen Youliang glanced around the crowd, with a trace of helplessness in his eyes, and sighed: "At the beginning, I led everyone to revolt to seek a better future for everyone. Who knows that nearly two months have passed, and I am still just a small bookkeeper, I am ashamed of you brothers!"

When Zhang Dingbian heard the words, there was anger in his eyes, and he took the lead to say: "Brother, according to your ability, you have made so many contributions before, especially when you took Wuchang Road, you have made a lot of suggestions. It stands to reason that the position of your brother It's time to be promoted. However, until now, he is still a bookkeeper. In the final analysis, the emperor Xu Shouhui of Tianwan is too deceitful, and he will not be rewarded for his merits. Don't say that doing so will chill the heart of the eldest brother, and my heart will also Then it got a lot colder."

Chen Youliang's eyes suddenly became gloomy, and his heart was quite depressed.

Seeing Chen Youliang's expression, Gao Jian showed a hint of worry on his face: "My lord, although the matter of my lord's promotion is clearly decided by the Emperor Xu Shouhui of that day. However, my lord must also understand that the real power of this day is really important. However, it is in the hands of the Peng Party headed by Peng Yingyu. To some extent, the failure of the lord to get promoted is also related to the Peng Party. The core figure of the Peng Party, Peng Yingyu, is the real obstacle preventing the lord from seizing more power. If this person is not eliminated for a day, the lord may not be able to get promoted!"

After hearing this, Chen Youliang became even more depressed. He looked at Gao Jian and said, "I, Chen Youliang, did I offend Peng Yingyu half a point?"

Gao Jian thought for a while before replying: "My lord, the government is basically controlled by the Peng party in this way, so Xu Shouhui is just a puppet supported by the Peng party. According to the speculation of my subordinates, maybe the Peng party has the intention to suppress After all, those are the important positions of Tianwan's various ministries, and the more prominent the lord's performance, it will touch the interests of the Peng party. Try to think about it, the more the lord's meritorious deeds, then they have to give up the important position If one comes out, the Peng party is definitely not willing. Moreover, they may find a reason to suppress the lord."

Chen Youliang was silent, he already agreed with Gao Jian's guess in his heart.

The Tianwan regime set up military and political institutions such as the Marshal's Office of the Army, the Central Secretariat, the Privy Council, and the six central ministries (officials, households, rituals, soldiers, criminals, and workers), almost all of which were controlled by members of the Peng Party.

And his boss Ni Wenjun was able to serve as the marshal of the Marshal's Mansion, and it was also shown by the Peng Party members to the rebels, showing that they are fair. Secondly, his boss Ni Wenjun is really good at fighting. The current Tianwan regime Many of the territories in the country were laid down by Ni Wenjun.

A few days ago, Xu Shouhui received some reprimands for his proposal to imitate the Sizhou Army and establish the "Tianwan Daily". Thinking deeply, there is the shadow of Peng Dang behind it.

This point, he has figured it out in the past few days, but he still has a little doubt.

Now, after Gao Jian mentioned it, Chen Youliang no longer doubted it.

Chen Youren said angrily: "Brother, this Peng Party is really hateful. According to my younger brother, that Xu Shouhui sitting in the emperor's position is also an idiot."

Isn't that right? Although Xu Shouhui is the emperor in name, he is actually almost like a puppet who has been emptied.

Chen Youliang also felt that Xu Shouhui was an idiot. He thought that his boss Ni Wenjun probably had other ideas in his heart, otherwise he told him two days ago that after Hanyang was defeated, he would welcome Xu Shouhui into Hanyang.

It is not easy to welcome Xu Shouhui into Hanyang from Peng Dang.

Chen Youliang also wanted to know, what method did Ni Wenjun use to do it?
In his view, unless the core figures of the Peng Party are gone, the Peng Party will still have a stable position in the Tianwan regime.

Wait, that's right, as long as Peng Yingyu, the core figure of the Peng Party, is gone, then when the time comes to win over a group of Peng Party members and fight hard against a group of Peng Party members, won't the power be taken away?
Could it be that his boss Ni Wenjun had this idea?

Chen Youliang suddenly remembered that his boss was ruthless, and secretly thought that it might happen.

Thinking of this, Chen Youliang's eyes suddenly brightened.

He had a premonition that the struggle for power in Tianwan's regime would intensify in the coming days. If he was in the middle of the game, he might get deeper and deeper.

He thought, he must avoid this vortex, and then sit on the sidelines and take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit.

After making up his mind, Chen Youliang showed a smile line at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were a bit cold.

"After Hanyang is won this time, I will ask Ni Wenjun to return to Mianyang." Chen Youliang is not a hesitant person, but a very decisive person. He made a firm decision on the things he thought of, and his tone did not allow any doubts .

Everyone present frowned.

Chen Youdang looked at Chen Youliang and said, "Brother, you're doing well, why do you think you're going back to Mianyang? Only by staying here can we have a chance to gain more power."

Gao Jian frowned, and glanced at Chen Youliang thoughtfully.

Chen Youliang looked at everyone present, his eyes were full of gentleness, with these life and death brothers, sooner or later he would be able to reach the position of Sizhou Army Cheng De.

Regarding Chen Youdang's doubts, Chen Youliang felt that it was necessary to explain clearly to everyone to avoid any resistance from everyone.

Therefore, Chen Youliang looked at the people present and said: "I am afraid that the regime will not be peaceful after this day. If one fails, all of us will be left here without a place to die. According to our current situation and status, We are not qualified to participate at all. We might as well go out to avoid it, and at the same time take the opportunity to strengthen our power in Mianyang and prepare for gaining greater power in the future. After all, our foundation is still in Mianyang."

Chen Youliang's words set off a storm in everyone's hearts, and they all looked at Chen Youliang in horror.

They have always believed in Chen Youliang's words, and they also know that Chen Youliang is resourceful, so they are very convinced by Chen Youliang.

Therefore, everyone felt in their hearts that Chen Youliang's statement was probably not groundless, and Chen Youliang must have noticed something in advance.

Thinking of this, everyone was silent there.

Chen Youliang suddenly looked at Zhang Dingbian and said, "After we followed Ni Wenjun, how many of us are there in Mianyang?"

Without any hesitation, Zhang Dingbian met Chen Youliang's gaze and replied directly: "There should be about 200 people."

Chen Youliang frowned: "Only 200 people?"

Seeing this, Zhang Dingbian continued: "At the beginning, I saw that my eldest brother wanted to follow Ni Wenjun to do something big, so he brought all the people he could bring. The 200 people who stayed were all Our confidants, stay and protect the families of our brethren."

Chen Youliang frowned a little, looked at Zhang Ding and said, "I remember 5000 people were brought here?"

Zhang Dingbian replied: "Five thousand one hundred and thirty one."

"Now? How many people are there?" Chen Youliang looked at Zhang Ding and asked.

"About 2000 people." Zhang Dingbian replied with his head down.

"What? Why are there only this few people?" Chen Youliang's face turned ugly.

At this time, Gao Jian made a rescue for Zhang Dingbian, and said: "My lord, after you took refuge in Ni Wenjun, this Ni Wenjun broke up almost all of the lord's troops, and only about 2000 people can really be led by General Zhang." , That’s all, General Zhang got it in exchange for his military exploits. As for the others, most of them fell in the previous few siege battles.”

Chen Youliang's body froze, his face was uncertain.

"I remember, there were other people who joined Xu Shouhui back then, right?" Chen Youliang said coldly.

Gao Jian looked at Chen Youliang before continuing: "That's right. However, after all, the lord came later. Judging from the situation at the time, this Ni Wenjun trusted the other leaders of the rebel army even more. If the lord hadn't shown his ability in front of Ni Wenjun , Gaining Ni Wenjun's trust, I'm afraid our people's situation is not good."

A trace of anger flashed deep in Chen Youliang's eyes, but his expression was calm.

"In the next battle of Hanyang, remember to protect yourselves. Let the other rebel forces go up first, and our people go up later. After breaking into the city, our people should not be obsessed with those heads to gain military merit. At present, there is no way for us. What's the point?" Chen Youliang suddenly looked at Zhang Dingbian with a serious expression on his face.

Zhang Dingbian looked closely at Chen Youliang: "Brother, what are your orders?"

"Once Hanyang is breached, you will rush in immediately with our people, collect all the treasures of the rich and powerful mansions in Hanyang, and find a place to hide them. These treasures are related to our return to Mianyang to recruit troops. Of course Now, when this matter is done, remember to send people to set fires around, so that Hanyang will become chaotic first, even if Ni Wenjun takes Hanyang, these chaotic places will be enough for him to have a headache for a while, and this is our opportunity."

Listening to Chen Youliang's words, Zhang Dingbian showed hesitation: "Brother, there are many people in Hanyang who are blind, will we be exposed?"

Chen Youliang looked at Zhang Dingbian and said, "The dead will not be exposed."

When everyone present heard this, their complexions changed.

Zhang Dingbian's mind was awe-inspiring. He believed that Chen Youliang must have a certain reason for doing so, so he replied: "Don't worry, brother, I, Zhang Dingbian, will definitely do it well."

"Of course, some of your men and horses should be reserved for Chen Youren, so that he can stay on the battlefield and act with Ni Wenjun and his men. In this case, when the time comes, our men will be on the battlefield, and the rest will be on the battlefield." People will not immediately think that the treasure in Hanyang will be made by our people. As for whether it will be found out in the future, we will all be in Mianyang at that time, and we will have a certain confidence at that time. If the Peng party, who has lost power, wants to pursue it, it has to weigh the pros and cons, and consider our ideas." Chen Youliang's eyes showed a confident look, showing a look of disdain for the world.

"Big brother is wise!" Everyone present said with joy.

Chen Youliang waved his hand and said: "Right now, we are doing as usual. As for whether Ni Wenjun will let us go back to Mianyang after taking Hanyang, I have already thought about how to do it. I think, as long as this Ni Wenjun is not stupid, will definitely agree.”

Everyone present had admiration for Chen Youliang.

Sure enough, their eldest brother is resourceful.

Seeing the calm expression on Chen Youliang's face, everyone at the scene relaxed a lot.

However, when Gao Jian looked at Chen Youliang's appearance, there was a trace of worry hidden deep in his eyes, and he was somewhat sad.

The lord is resourceful and resourceful, far superior to him, isn't he a bit redundant as a military adviser?
I always feel that my military adviser is a bit like a vegetarian.

Gao Jian sighed softly in his heart, and silently sealed his thoughts deep in his heart.

"Of course, business as usual does not mean doing nothing. Now you are trying to do everything possible to make good friends with the generals in Ni Wenjun's hands. The more good friends you make, the more beneficial the generals will be to us." Chen Youliang suddenly added.

After hearing this, everyone nodded.

Chen Youliang took everyone's look into his eyes and didn't explain too much.

In the struggle between Ni Wenjun and Peng Dang, one side will surely fall in the future.

And even if the other side wins, it will be a miserable victory.

Thinking of Ni Wenjun's ambition again, Chen Youliang felt that he could take advantage of it.

Of course, Chen Youliang was still not very optimistic about Ni Wenjun.

Peng Dang has a lot of people, even if Ni Wenjun killed Peng Yingyu, he might not be able to defeat Peng Dang.

Moreover, Ni Wenjun's ambition and his ruthlessness, it is estimated that he may attack Xu Shouhui.

It's just that most of Tianwan's soldiers now have Xu Shouhui in their hearts.

On this point, Ni Wenjun was in the middle of the game, but the authorities were confused.

Of course, even if Chen Youliang knew about it, he would not remind Ni Wenjun, but was happy to see Ni Wenjun continue to fall into it.

If Ni Wenjun didn't fall into it, how could I, Chen Youliang, have a chance?

This time, after Ni Wenjun defeated Hanyang, he returned to Mianyang to recruit troops and cultivate a lineage of his own.

Following Ni Wenjun these days, he already understood that only when he mastered more soldiers and horses would he have a greater right to speak.

And what Chen Youliang has to do is to seek the greatest right to speak.

For the time being, he will not announce this kind of thing, but bury it in his heart.He will not be like Ni Wenjun at all. He has already revealed his plan before he started to do things. If this is not a failure, he will be sorry for him?
Chen Youliang looked at all the brothers present, with a gentle smile on his face: "It is not only Cheng De's responsibility to drive out the barbarians and restore China, but also the responsibility of my life, Chen Youliang. I, Chen Youliang, will not only destroy the Yuan Dynasty in the future, but also I rule the world of the Han people, accept the land of the Han people, and promote the prestige of the Han people. I, Chen Youliang, will definitely make everyone in the world have enough to eat in the future. Brothers are willing to follow me, Chen Youliang, to do great things, don’t you just believe in me, Chen Youliang Can it be done? Brothers, please be patient for a while, when the time comes, I, Chen Youliang, will definitely fulfill my promise to you brothers."

Everyone present nodded heavily.

Seeing this, Chen Youliang said, "It's not too late, everyone should go back and rest. There will probably be a big battle tomorrow, and everything will be done according to plan."

"Yes." After everyone responded, they saluted Chen Youliang and left in a hurry.

To the third day of May 12th.

Marshal Ni Wenjun of Tianwan Command Army Marshal's Mansion led an army of [-] to capture Hanyang, adding another territory to the Tianwan regime.It was night, Chen Youliang talked with Ni Wenjun all night at Ni Wenjun's mansion.

On May 12, 1, Chen Youliang was sent by Ni Wenjun to Mianyang to suppress the bandits with Zhang Dingbian and his party, plus another [-] horses allocated by Ni Wenjun.

At the same time, on the way Chen Youliang returned to Mianyang, there was a document of reward sent by Emperor Xu Shouhui of Tianwan: Chen Youliang will be promoted to Chengwu Lang and Zhongxian Xiaowei from now on.

On the other side, Cheng De, who returned to Sizhou City, has been with Ma Xiuying and Luo Yan in the general's mansion all day long, and it has been more than two days now.

However, Cheng De's subordinate Li Shanchang and others couldn't stand it any longer. They were worried that Cheng De would fall into a gentle village and couldn't extricate themselves, so they came to invite Cheng De to discuss major issues in person.

Cheng De was sitting in the meeting hall with a dark face at this time, looking at Li Shanchang and others with a bad expression.

Didn't he just accompany the pregnant Ma Xiuying and Luo Yan for two days? As a result, these people under his command used Xia Jie and Shang Zhou to talk about things in every way, insinuating, using words to connotate themselves Cheng De was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Hmph, if you don't say good or bad, this matter will never end.

Cheng De secretly took a small notebook and remembered the few people who had just talked the most.
