The spring breeze still had a bitter chill, blowing everyone's robe. On such a sunny morning, pedestrians still felt cold.

Outside Jiangling City, a team is setting off.

The team had chief and deputy envoys in front of them, all wearing fifth-rank official uniforms, and there were only hundreds of people behind them, all wearing brocade clothes, holding Chinese banners, purple banners, dragon poles, yellow cards, and big banners.

As long as these people are the leaders of ten people, they are all wearing official uniforms and have the title of the team.

These people walked slowly south along the official road, with flags waving, and the destination of the team was Changsha where Zheng Pingyuan is now. They were going to escort the envoy representing the King of Chu.

On the top of the city, a group of people were standing there, their eyes following the team and looking to the south.

One of them, although wearing casual clothes, was Wang Hongyi.

Standing behind him were civil and military personnel, and the closest to them were Zhang Youzhi and Yu Liangbo.

With his eyes passing by the team, Zhang Youzhi sighed with emotion: "Your Majesty, you have never seen before that Zheng Pingyuan is a person who can turn and bend and know the current affairs."

Wang Hongyi looked into the distance without saying a word. As Haoran's energy was absorbed, the bound power disappeared, and Wang Hongyi could already see it.

A pillar of heaven, the rolling dragon energy soared into the sky, almost reaching the clouds.

And in the distance, a white and red air column still exists, which has become much lower.

Yu Liangbo nodded in agreement: "What Mr. Zhang said is true, it is really unexpected that Zheng Pingyuan would deliver a surrendered manuscript. However, it was not too surprising that Zheng Pingyuan did not call himself a king or a prince. He was just a marquis or a vassal of the previous dynasty. He was also the patriarch of the Zheng clan in Jingzhou - this was not too surprising."

"Zheng family..." I felt that Yu Liangbo was pointing out the word Zheng family to him. Wang Hongyi smiled slightly, but he just didn't mention it. How could he ignore the family and influence behind Zheng Pingyuan?

The shallow water cannot raise big fish, and the low eaves cannot accommodate experts.

The so-called power is fundamentally determined by strength and power. If it were in Shu, Wang Hongyi would never tolerate Zheng Pingyuan and his family, but at this time, he tolerated the world and was at ease.

Now, unlike the past, the tripod and weapon have been established, the title has been established, the Shu is stable and the dragon energy is rich, and among the southern princes, no one can shake its roots.

Moreover, there were black dragons on the grassland who were ready to pounce on the Central Plains at any time. Zheng Pingyuan could really surrender and appointed this person. This was like a tiger adding wings. He suddenly grasped the aura and destiny behind Zheng Pingyuan.

How can those who can truly succeed without their strength tolerate others?

As long as Zheng Pingyuan really surrenders, why should he kill them all?

Moreover, this is the first person who has dragon energy and dragon fate to surrender, which is of great significance.

However, there are still differences in specific treatment and treatment, which depends on the other party’s choice.

Thinking about the content of the letter he wrote, Wang Hongyi looked to the south thoughtfully.

Changsha, mansion, is quiet.

At this time, Zheng Pingyuan was wearing a long robe with wide-sleeved sleeves and dark eyes, and had a kind of heroic spirit, which swept away the decadence of the previous few days.

After all, he is a person with a foundation. After several days of depression, he began to cheer up again, check his defenses, soothe people's hearts, and at least he regained his majesty.

Although he was born in aristocratic families, he was indeed a temporary choice in terms of temperament and talent.

At this time, there is a garden with a monastery and an octagonal pavilion. Even if you open the window to see the distance, you can see the rocks and valleys of the garden and the mirror weeping willows in the lake. It’s not that now. If there is a breeze blowing gently in summer, there will be no summer at all.

From this we can see Zheng Pingyuan’s knowledge.

But at this moment, Zheng Pingyuan was sitting and talking to the representatives of the tribe.

Zheng Pingyuan faced the beautiful scenery with no expression on his face and said, "The situation is over. The old land in Jiangling may be able to go back, but it may not be able to restore all the original land. Changsha and Jiangling can only choose one."

"Can't you all have it? These are all our fields." Uncle You said unwillingly.

"Either you don't take a single place in Changsha or Jiangling, you can only choose one of them." Zheng Pingyuan said with a wry smile: "Are you able to accept surrendered ministers like this? Besides, you all know where this field comes from."

When the troops were at the city, they could naturally get a lot of land by killing and killing them, but now they had to vomit them out.

Speaking of this, Zheng Pingyuan lost a smile on his face: "Whether I surrender or not, the King of Chu unified Jingzhou. In the entire south, including Wei Yue, there is probably no one else who can compete with him."

"You must not contact other princes secretly. This matter has been decided, and the submission has been delivered to Jiangling. The people in the clan are all old people, with good face and knowledge. They must not push the Zheng clan to the forefront for the sake of small profits in front of them and cause unexpected disasters."

Looking at the map in his hand, Zheng Pingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly: "The plundered land and those with bloody crimes are handed over. The purchased land can be retained. The five direct families and more than a dozen next to each other must be arranged."

Hearing Zheng Pingyuan's words, the leaders of the Zheng clan frowned.

Although Wang Hongyi's Thunder Army is approaching, in the eyes of some people in the Zheng clan, the Zheng clan may not be able to delay it for a while and be in a corner.

Even if it can't, it can still be the same.

When Taizu of the Great Yan seized the world, wouldn’t he still have no choice but to take some aristocratic families?

Even if it is reduced, it is just to obey it openly. Why be so cautious?

Where does this place the interests of the Zheng family?

And there is a key point here, that is, Zheng Pingyuan handed over the occupied land himself, but after being the Grand Governor and Chu Hou for several years, there were a large number of gifts and gold and silver in the warehouse alone. The main house actually had this confidence, but there was no room for others to share.

Hearing that none of these people spoke, Zheng Pingyuan looked at them and couldn't help but smile coldly. Just as he was about to scold him, someone suddenly knocked on the door and called out outside: "Master, I'm urgently reporting it."

Listening to the sound is one of his confidant servants.

Zheng Pingyuan frowned slightly, but did not immediately attack.

"You guys, let's go back first. You have to worry more about the tribe. But don't lose your composure. No matter when it comes, it is the most important to keep the bloodline of the Zheng clan. You can think about it carefully when you go back, what is the most important thing."

"Then we will take our leave first." After bowing to Zheng Pingyuan, several Zheng clan members retreated one after another.

When they all left, a servant walked in outside.

"What's the matter? You actually want to report it at this time?" Zheng Pingyuan walked up to him and scolded in a low voice.

"Master, it's Jiangling's urgent report!" the attendant also whispered.

As he said that, the attendant handed a secret report to Zheng Pingyuan.

Jiangling’s urgent report?

Jiangling is Zheng Pingyuan's old nest. Even if he withdraws, he can still receive a secret report. He quickly opened the secret report and saw clearly the content of the secret report, Zheng Pingyuan couldn't help but be out of sight for a while.

"Okay, you go back first." He waved his hand and asked the attendant to retreat, holding the secret report in his hand. After Zheng Pingyuan turned around the case, he sat down, and read it carefully again, and suddenly smiled low.

"Oncestors, Zheng Pingyuan is unfilial. It won't take long for this Jingzhou land to be all outsiders." He smiled bitterly and threw the secret report aside. He began to sort out some of Jingnan's affairs.

Since there has been a secret report, Wang Hongyi accepted the surrender letter, and the team that sent the order was on the way, and it is probably not a few days before it will be here.

He wanted to take advantage of this period of time to plan for the future, and without being suspicious of Wang Hongyi, let the Zheng family lie dormant in Jingzhou, and allocate land and take root in places with connections. This is the top priority.

He didn't care about Wang Hongyi's decree. Since the other party had already accepted his surrender, the decree sent by the sent people was mostly pleasing words, so what's so strange?

Thinking of this, he smiled self-deprecatingly and ignored the matter.

Time passed quickly, and within a few days the envoy sent by Wang Hongyi rushed to the city.

As a minister who requested surrender, although he was much better than an envoy, Zheng Pingyuan still had to bring civil and military officials out of the city himself.

The envoy was not arrogant, and spoke to Zheng Pingyuan very politely, and entered the city together.

After entering the city, he refused the banquet proposed by Zheng Pingyuan. The envoy suggested that a letter from the King of Chu would be handed over to Zheng Pingyuan.

Didn’t he issue a direct decree and even sent letters?

This was a bit beyond Zheng Pingyuan's expectations. He invited the envoy to the living room of the mansion, and there were Zheng Pingyuan's confidant adviser Zhang Yu and Ji Gui.

"This is the king's handwritten letter, please see it." The envoy took out the letter in person and said to Zheng Pingyuan.

Ji Gui walked over and took the letter to his hand. After a brief check, he delivered it to Zheng Pingyuan.

After receiving the letter, Zheng Pingyuan hesitated for a moment and opened it in person.

Wang Hongyi's calligraphy is very good, but this is not the point. What is important is that what Wang Hongyi wrote in the letter surprised Zheng Pingyuan.

Unlike Zheng Pingyuan's previous guess, Wang Hongyi was very happy about Zheng Pingyuan's surrender in the letter and comforted him. Then he changed the topic and proposed two paths for Zheng Pingyuan.

The words are very simple. The first way is to choose to be a marquis, then retire, and ignore military and political affairs, but Wang Hongyi promised that he would not settle the matter later.

The second way is that Zheng Pingyuan asked to remove the title of Chu Hou, remove other official positions, and hand over the three counties and army. However, Wang Hongyi appointed Zheng Pingyuan as the commander-in-chief of the Second Fleet, led 20,000 naval divisions, and served Wang Hongyi. Later, he was promoted according to grade and merit and awarded titles.

This is actually what Wang Hongyi knew. In his previous life, Zheng Pingyuan himself was the commander-in-chief of the navy. He relied on the navy to conquer a country and had unique features in navy command.

After reading the letter, Zheng Pingyuan was a little confused.
