Chapter 126: Submission (1)

Chapter 126 Submission (Part 1)

Yueshan County, Jiedushi Mansion

These days, the servants in the mansion were uneasy.

You should know that Cheng Yougong, the current governor of Yueshan County, was the concubine's son of the former governor. Although he had a lot of twists and turns in his childhood, he had good political achievements after he ascended the throne. Such a person should have been rich and noble, but now he is fifty years old. Only his eldest son Cheng Huaizhi grows until he grows up, and the other children die at a young age.

Fortunately, the remaining son is very smart, which makes Cheng Yougong very pleased.

Cheng Huaizhi is eighteen years old and has a handsome appearance, some talent, and a prominent background. Not to mention Yueshan County, he is also a famous young master in Xiyizhou.

But in the past few days, Cheng Huaizhi and his father Cheng Yougong had a disagreement on government affairs. The atmosphere in the mansion became tense day by day, and even the servants were so proud that they dared not say a word.

"Zhi'er, you don't know the strength of Dongyizhou. Don't mention this matter again!" In the conference hall, Cheng Yougong slapped the table next to him, feeling helpless at his stubborn son in front of him.

You should know that there are several counties in Xiyizhou, including Yongchang, Yueshan, Jianshan, Yuecheng, Qinghe, and Guangning.

Among them, Qian Qingfu, the prefect of Yongchang County, has the strongest strength, with tens of thousands of troops, and is considered to be the dominant position in the entire Xiyizhou.

Such a person was forced to die by Wang Hongyi in just a few days, which shows how powerful the power Wang Hongyi, the lord of Dongyizhou, possessed!

There is only a mountain between Yueshan County and Yongchang County. Although there are 6,000 elite soldiers in the county, they are not as powerful as Yongchang County.

Even Yongchang County, which had tens of thousands of troops, was captured by the Chengdu army. Qian Qingfu, the most domineering person in Xiyizhou, ended up dying in a desperate situation. How many days can he delay him by leading his own people to fight to the death?

Cheng Yongkong was considered a qualified general when he was young. Although he was not as good as Qian Qingfu, a hero who climbed all the way from a military household to his current position. As a concubine's son, he had two legitimate brothers. When he was born, he was not valued by his father. However, he was very smart. He knew how to hide his weaknesses when he was a child. After he grew up and gained one, he went on a bravery and was even more serious in managing the territory. In comparison, the two legitimate brothers were desperate and far less steady than he had. In the end, the position of the governor fell on him.

After assuming the throne, the road was not smooth. First, he encountered provocations from his clan members, and his brother secretly stumbling down, and then he encountered surrounding forces taking advantage of the situation to invade. With his blood and his confidants and connections he had cultivated, he finally stabilized the political situation of Yueshan County, so that Yueshan County would not encounter a catastrophe when the old and new people in power changed.

Even though he had never expanded his territory since he ascended the throne, he had at least kept his father's foundation unshakable.

Such a person will naturally not be a fool.

Cheng Yongkong also witnessed the strength of the Yongchang Army. Such an army was defeated in just a few days under the offensive of the Dongyi Army. Although there were also reasons for the mountain tribes' turn against each other, it could show the strength of Dongyizhou.

Cheng Yougong did not think that he was capable of being an enemy of Wang Hongyi.

But at this time, the situation forced him to think of a solution. After all, it was Yueshan County after Yongchang County.

"I'm afraid that Yueshan County will pour out the entire county's troops and cannot stop the army of Dongyizhou..." Recalling the news that he had reported in detail, the man with a medium body on the main seat couldn't help but sigh.

"Father, please give your son a team. I am willing to be a vanguard and fight against the army of Dongyizhou!" After being scolded by his father, Cheng Huaizhi was very dissatisfied. At this time, he saw his father looking depressed and his face became more ugly. He couldn't help but speak out again and clenched his fists to ask for battle.

"Zhi'er, this matter is not a joke, don't do it nonsense!" Cheng Yougong said in a reprimand.

"Father!" Cheng Huaizhi clenched his fists. For this young man, Yueshan County is the foundation of the Cheng family. How can he give up now if he inherits it himself in the future?

"Young Master, you are in a bad mood at this time. You continue to confront me, I'm afraid you will get angry more and more. It's better to wait until the master calms down and discuss this matter!" Seeing that the father and son confront each other again, the butler standing beside him hurriedly approaching Cheng Huaizhi and whispered.

The young man raised his head and saw the man in the seat leaning on his head with his hands. His face looked a little ugly, and he finally listened to the butler's words.

"Father, it's because my son is too impatient. Seeing that his father's face seems to be bad, he should take a break early. My son will come to see his father again tomorrow." Cheng Huaizhi said as he returned to his respectful attitude.

Cheng Yougong waved his hand and ordered him to retreat.

When Cheng Huaizhi walked out of the conference hall, a young face had long been full of unwillingness.

"Butler, do you think what I just said is wrong? Yueshan County has been the foundation of the Cheng family for decades, so how can it easily fall into the hands of outsiders? Even if my father agrees, I will not agree with it!"

"Young Master, you have no choice. You must know that the current lord of Dongyizhou is Wang Hongyi. This person controls six counties. No, it is now seven counties. There are many famous generals who have been defeated under him."

"Qian Qingfu from Yongchang County is a powerful hero, and he also fell into the hands of Wang Hongyi. How can such a man leads his army to fight? "

"Not to mention, the Dongyi Army has a kind of siege in its hands. No matter how thick and strong the city wall is, it cannot stop the bombardment of this huge stone machine. Once the city is broken, what will happen to the Cheng family? Could it be that the clan will be exterminated like the Qian family?"

The butler who came out followed the Cheng family head for many years and saw unusual slaves. When he heard the young master complaining, he persuaded him kindly.

But he was young and dissatisfied. It was fine if the young man didn't listen. After hearing this, he aroused his fighting spirit and sneered: "I heard that Wang Hongyi is just a few years older than me. I can do what he can do! I don't believe it, he was born with three heads and six arms!"

After saying that, he walked out with great strides.

"Young Master!" The butler wanted to chase after him when he saw this.

But he heard a helpless voice from behind him: "Forget it, let him go!"

The housekeeper turned around and saw that the head of the family, Cheng Yongjong, who was sitting in the hall before, was standing behind him, with a lonely face.

"master!"

Cheng Yongkong sighed, "Although my son is not a few years older than Wang Hongyi, he is far worse than that. Not to mention that he is compared with Wang Hongyi, even the young master of the Li family who was defeated and died in the past is much better than him. But my son has always been praised in Xiyizhou. He always feels superior. If this continues, the Cheng family's foundation will be handed over to him. In this chaos, it is not a good thing, but it is better..."

Looking at the direction of Yongchang County, Cheng Yongkong sighed.

"Master, that young master..."

Cheng Yongkong said, "It's time for him to not listen to advice, so it's better to let him be alone."

After saying that, he walked back to the main house with a slight staggering pace.

At this moment, he could not have imagined what amazing actions his only son would have done.

"Master, it's not good! Master, he took your military talisman and took a battalion of cavalry out of the city!"

As noon approached, the butler rushed in with a panic look and reported the news to him.

Cheng Yongkong stood up: "Zhi'er must have gone to the border! Hurry up, send someone to chase him!"

"Yes!" When the pursuers chased out of the city, the cavalry led by Cheng Huaizhi had already rushed towards Rongchang County on the border.

But I took a shortcut.

"My father would definitely think that I was on land, but I just passed by water." After the big ship prepared the day before yesterday, the first battalion of soldiers with people and horses went up, he quickly set sail.

A battalion of cavalry is the largest force that Cheng Huaizhi can dispatch. If there are more, it will definitely not be able to be transferred.

Of course, Cheng Huaizhi did not completely become an idiot. His idea was to spy on military information and see how strong the Shu Marquis Army was. Next time, he could naturally use this to change his father's idea.

Walk along the river and down the river. You can reach the border of Yueshan County within half a day. You can even cross Rongchang County and be close to Yongchang County.

"I want to see what's so great about the Dongyi Army in my father's mouth!" Standing at the bow of the boat, Cheng Huaizhi thought with a cold face.

"Young Master, after passing the front post and going there, it will be the territory of Yongchang County." After a while, a deputy general next to him reminded him.

I saw that the shore in front was flat, and there was a tall hill in the southeast. The hills were not high and could barely block people's sight.

As soon as Cheng Huaizhi saw the hill, he immediately took a fancy to it.

"Dang here, leaving a small team to wait here, and the rest will follow me to investigate the situation." Cheng Huaizhi was familiar with military tactics, and the orders issued at this time were still very well organized.

"No!" Everyone was ordered to go ashore, because the war horse was chewing in the morning, so they did not make any sound.

The hills looked very close, but it took half a stick of incense to rush over.

When Cheng Huaizhi stood on the top and looked into the distance, the Yongchang County City was almost visible in the distance, and the continuous military camps outside the city changed slightly.

I just heard about tens of thousands of troops before, but now I have seen the military camp with my own eyes and know what the concept of these tens of thousands is. This is a camp that has been continuous for several miles.

But soon, his eyes suddenly widened.

A sound of horse hooves shook through the surrounding tranquility. Cheng Huaizhi watched helplessly, and a large group of black dots rushed over from far to near.

At first, I was lucky, but after a moment, I realized that this large cavalry was heading towards me!

"What's going on? How did they find out?" When the incident came, Cheng Huaizhi's mind suddenly became blank.

"Young Master, what should I do?" the camp was asking, but he didn't hear the answer. After a while, he realized that Cheng Huaizhi was stunned. The camp was roaring: "Hurry, retreat!"

At this moment, the cavalry was approaching, and the whistling sound was clearly heard.

The next moment, the sound of fighting and roaring continued.

Three hours later, Yongchang City

"What? The patrol camp caught a small group of cavalry?" Wang Hongyi asked in surprise as he heard the reward from his hands, "I asked where the cavalry came from?"

"Returning to the Lord, the cavalry did not speak at first, and then torture it and asked from several people. The person who led the cavalry was Cheng Huaizhi, the only son of the governor of Yueshan County. This time he came to Yongchang County because he was not convinced of the reputation of the Lord and came to find out. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by the patrol camp and killed more than 20 people, and all the others were captured."

"Haha, this is something that happened!" Hearing this, Wang Hongyi was stunned at first, then laughed, and asked again: "Then is this young man injured?"

"No, just frightened."

"Haha, go and send someone to deliver a letter to Cheng Yongkong of Yueshan County. He said that his son had come to the camp of the Dongyi Army and asked him to send some people to take his son back." Wang Hongyi said with a smile.

This kid is simply nonsense, which makes Wang Hongyi feel like he is "watching".

Having such a son is really sympathetic.
