Nanchen established his capital in Kangcheng and controlled the area east of Jiangling and south of the East China Sea.
It was the first year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, early autumn.
The Chu army marched in three groups, traveling by land and water. Marshals Yue Fei, Ran Min, and Grand Governor Sun Jian led an army of 300,000 soldiers to press the border.
hour.
Nanchen changed hands at this juncture. It was rumored that the emperor of Nanchen, Chen Ba, passed away on the dragon bed because of his excessive sexual activities and excessive play. His younger brother Chen Heng obeyed the destiny and inherited the throne when the empire was in crisis.
Chen Heng took drastic measures to stabilize the court situation, killing all Chen Ba's direct courtiers, and replacing all officials and commanders-in-chief with confidants.
But there is no airtight wall in the world, and the real process of Nanchen's change of ownership was a bloody case.
Chen Ba knew that the three giants of Fusang, Northern Wei, and Mongolia had been destroyed, Jiangdu, and Soochow had surrendered. The fifth-grade empire was left with only Nanchen, which was ambitious for the world. The arrogant Chen Ba knew that the Nanchen Empire existed in name only, and even if it was struggling to the death, it was with Chu.
A life-and-death battle will only end in ruins and bloodshed for thousands of miles.
Therefore, he deliberately followed the example of Jiangdu and Soochow and chose to submit to the Chu Emperor, protect the people, reduce the number of killings, and survive in the Hundred Kingdoms War.
Chen Ba and his left and right prime ministers made a plan and decided to endure hardships and enjoy the cool under the big tree of Chu. After the Hundred Kingdoms War was over, they found the right time to switch sides, rebuild the Nanchen Empire and restore the imperial power.
Although the plan was clever, some people agreed and some opposed it. Chen Heng, who was ambitious, believed that Chen Ba's move was for his own enjoyment and wanted to give up his ancestral legacy.
So Chen Heng launched a coup, killed Chen Ba in the Yangxin Hall, and announced to the outside that Chen Ba had died of illness. It is worth mentioning that Chen Heng had always been in charge of the Nanchen troops. Even if Chen Ba died, he could not believe that his younger brother would be like him.
Killer with pain.
Who doesn't want to be an emperor?
How wonderful it is to be an emperor. In the whole world, is it the land of the king? On the shore of the land, is it the ministers of the king who have authority and coercion?
Chen Heng finally ascended to the supreme imperial throne that he had longed for, the throne that thousands of people worshiped. However, the throne was not yet stable, and the Chu army came to kill him. It was not easy to get the throne, and his buttocks were still hot. How could he take this throne?
Will everything be handed over to Chu State easily?
at this time.
In Jiankang City, in the palace, Chen Heng summoned all civil and military officials to discuss the matter of fighting against the Chu army.
"Sit down, all your ministers, and tell us how to resist Chu!"
Most of the officials are direct descendants of Chen Heng, and the rest are mediocre officials who have done nothing. Those who survived the coup d'état are either smooth-headed villains or mediocre people who do nothing and keep to themselves. For them,
Chen Heng had no hope of being able to come up with good strategies, so his eyes stayed on his direct descendants.
"Your Majesty, the Chu army came from both land and water, crossed the East China Sea to Jianwei City, and passed through Jiangdu to Wuwei City. The general thought that he could send two armies to these two cities to stop the Chu army."
"The Chu State is so powerful and domineering that no one from Chen State can compete with it. Yesterday, a mysterious and powerful person sneaked into the general's residence and left two things behind. The general opened them without permission and checked them. He knew that the matter was of great importance, so I leave it to your majesty to handle today."
The person who spoke was the general under Chen Heng. One of them got the Tao, chicken and dog, and ascended to heaven. Chen Heng succeeded to the throne, and Xiang Yang became the marshal of the three armies, able to dispatch the soldiers of the four armies of Nan Chen.
"What shocked General Xiang so much, but it's okay to say it!"
"Your Majesty, there is a supreme treasure hidden in Feilong Mountain. These are the letters and magical raw stones left by the visitor."
"The general believes that this matter is serious. Your Majesty can use this to strengthen the fourth-level country and defeat the Chu State with the troops of other countries."
"Feilongshan treasure?"
Chen Heng took the letter and wooden box from Xiang Shang. When he was young, he held the original stone in the wooden box in his hand, with a cunning look in his eyes, and he suppressed the turbulent excitement.
"The unknown treasure is extremely valuable, and we don't know whether it is true or not at the moment. Even if we can use it to borrow troops from other countries, compared with Chu, they are still rich and powerful. This move is just to lure the wolf into the house, and it is not the best strategy!"
Chen Heng's face was as frosty as his eyes flashed across Xiang Yang. At this moment, he regretted letting Xiang Shang reveal the Feilong Mountain treasure in public.
Treasures and resources, if known, can strengthen the country and bring peace to the world. If the news is leaked, other countries will never turn a blind eye, and Chen Guo's power may not be able to preserve it.
The throne has just been established, but the foundation is not stable, and people with different intentions are trying their best to make up for it. Chen Heng is thoughtful and cautious, knowing that not all people in the golden palace are of the same mind as him.
Now the news of the Feilong Mountain treasure is known to all officials, and he believes that it will spread to Jiankang City soon, but he wants to prevent the news from leaking, but he cannot kill everyone in the Golden Palace. He has made up his mind and can only be one step ahead.
Obtain treasure quietly.
There was silence in the Golden Palace, and the atmosphere was chilly, as if facing a formidable enemy. Suddenly, the voice of the servant outside the palace came, and it was so sharp that it seemed to penetrate the eardrums.
"Your Majesty, Dongying, Yuanfeng, and Zhan Zhan College have sent people and they have all arrived outside the palace wall. Do you want to summon them to see them?"
"Japan and Yuanfeng are both fourth-level powers, and the Zhan Zhan Academy is a mysterious force. Do they come to my country, Chen, to take the initiative to fight against Chu with me?"
Chen Heng never believed in pie-in-the-sky things. If they didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for any reason, they must have other agendas.
But now Nancheng can no longer make enemies. Chen Heng narrowed his eyes and said loudly: "Invite them into the palace and go to the imperial study to wait. I will be there right away."
The chamberlain took the order to leave, and Chen Heng once again ordered all the officials to leave, leaving only three confidants, Xiang Shang, Tong Bo, and Mantiancheng, to accompany him to the imperial study.
"Mantian City, I leave the matter of the Feilong Mountain treasure to you. Before the news is leaked, I must be the first to get the treasure. Maybe this is an opportunity given to me by God."
What Xiang Shang handed over to Chen Heng was not the original stone at all, but the Qi Stone recorded in ancient books. Although the grade of the Qi Stone is not known, it is undoubtedly a wealth that can quickly grow for the Nanchen Empire. At the same time
It was also Chen Heng’s last life-saving straw.
The Dragon Tooth Legion, one of the four legions commanded by Mantian City, is Chen Heng's confidant and the most prudent general.
Chen Heng left the matter of Feilong Mountain to him, not worried about anything going wrong, but the mysterious strong man who sneaked into Xiang Shang's house became a worry for him.
The other party knew the existence of the Feilong Mountain treasure and told Xiang Shang to pass the news to him through him, but for what purpose?
Watching Mantian City leave, Chen Heng came to the outside of the imperial study room with doubts. At this time, people from the three forces of Yuanfeng, Japan, and Zhanzhan Academy had been waiting for a long time.
Creak!
The sound of pushing the door was heard, and Chen Heng led Xiang Shang and Tong Bo into the hall. Looking at the three powerful men in front of him, a calm smile appeared on his face.
"Three envoys have come from afar, please sit down and talk!"
Chen Heng quickened his pace and took a seat at the top. It was obvious that he was familiar with the roads in his territory and did not show any restraint.
"Right now, Chen is in troubled times at home and abroad, and I wonder what important matters the three of you have come to Chen to do!"
A loud voice of inquiry rang out, and the envoy of the Japanese Empire raised his hand and placed a square box on the wooden table in front of him. A soft bang was heard, and everyone followed the sound, and their eyes were all focused on the square box.
now.
The palm-sized square box looked extremely dazzling, and the majestic sound of people coming from the Japanese Empire could be heard.
"We are all here for it. Emperor Chen should be familiar with this thing!" (To be continued)
