Chen Shouzhong's words moved Chen Lan's heart.

The area around Annan and Jiaozhi now has shallow water and a lot of water.

The Twelve Envoys of the fart place do not include some slightly stronger bandit forces.

In short, for the sake of profit, everyone was beaten to death.

The situation in Annan is slightly different from the civil strife in the Central Plains.

Most of the civil strife in the Central Plains was caused by the heroes wanting to fight for their own interests, while the people wanted to settle down.

Annan is a local powerhouse seeking war for its own strength, and the local indigenous people are also militants and very xenophobic.

They do not obey the king's rule, and live in a very barbaric way, drawing boundaries on the land. They may live in villages or caves, and regard outsiders who enter the country as prey.

The number of local indigenous people in Annan far exceeds that of the Han people. Because the Han people are wise, they obey the control of the Han people. However, if the Han people cannot satisfy their interests, they may be overthrown.

Therefore, fighting for a small profit may trigger a war.

Chen Lan was one of the most powerful among the twelve envoys, so he naturally had the idea of ​​​​wiping out the other envoys and becoming king in Annan.

Those who are worried are just worried that they have gone to great lengths to wipe out many envoys from Annan, and end up like Wu Yue and the Qingyuan Army, going to the Central Plains to enjoy their blessings.

Now that I know what Luo Youdu of the Central Plains means, I am secretly shocked and determined. I know that Luo Youdu must have a deep understanding of the situation in Annan, and that is why he acted today. Facing the direction of the Central Plains, he knelt down solemnly on the ground and kowtowed nine times.

He raised his head and said: "Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch, and I admire you Chen Lan! I am highly valued by your Majesty, and I will never disappoint your majesty's high expectations."

He stood up and complained to Chen Shouzhong, "Sir, you don't know the situation in Annan. There are many people in Annan Mountain. They don't obey the king's rule. They are stupid, arrogant and ignorant. They are unwilling to accept the influence of ethics and education, and they are very xenophobic. Even we have to be controlled by them many times."

.”

What Chen Lan said was not an exaggeration.

Chen Lan has a great reputation in Annan Jiaozhi, and is respectfully called Ming Gong by the locals. Compared with those unscrupulous tyrants, Chen Lan is not a good person, but he also has his own moral bottom line.

He is fair to the outside world and kind to the inside, and is very popular among the people.

In order to better govern the people, he has been promoting Chineseization for more than ten years, but the results are very mediocre.

There are too many local indigenous people. They have developed their own habits, have their own language, and have always lived a simple life. They do not use their brains very much, and it is difficult for them to accept the advanced Chinese culture.

This is the case in history. With the disastrous defeat of Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi in Annan, the majesty of the Central Plains disappeared in Annan.

In the end, the rulers faced the general trend of Annan and accepted the assimilation of local indigenous people. The Chinese language merged with the local language and became the Vietnamese language.

Due to the language barrier, from now on, Annan's surrender would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Chen Lan cannot predict the future, but he is fully aware of the harm caused by too many indigenous people in the territory.

The two have reached a consensus and started working out the details of cooperation.

Chen Lan's territory was located at the mouth of Bu Hai, Chi Bu, Tai Binh Province, Vietnam in the future. There was a port in the territory that could be in close contact with Guangzhou Port.

Whether it is financial or strategic support, it is very convenient.

At the same time, Chen Lan's territory is located in the Red River Delta, with acres of rice fields. Rice can even be grown three times a year, which can also provide considerable support to the Central Plains.

mutual benefit.

Chen Lan's face was glowing. With the support of the Central Plains, the unification of Annan was just around the corner.

After sending Chen Shouzhong away, Chen Lanru fell into a dream, and this man was in a daze.

Confidant Hua Yang reminded: "Ming Gong, Dingbu leader is still waiting for news."

Chen Lan was startled for a moment. With the support of the Central Plains, he was in a good mood. He actually forgot about this matter. He pondered for a moment and said, "Let's meet him then."

Although he had the support of the Central Plains and a backer, Chen Lan knew very well that in order to forge iron, he had to be strong himself.

If everything depends on the Central Plains, you will be the fish on the knife board.

You have to show your own value, show your strength and significance, and prove to the Central Plains court that you have the ability and qualifications to suppress Jiaozhi.

His troops are large, his territory is vast, and his family is rich, but he lacks generals who can conquer and fight well.

Leader Ding is a famous general in Jiaozhi. If he can be persuaded to follow him, great things can be accomplished.

The territory of Ding tribe is very close to Buhaikou of Chenlan, just to the southeast of Hualu Cave.

Leader Ding does not belong to the Twelve Envoys, but his strength is no less than the Twelve Envoys.

Ding Buling was a Chinese barbarian from Jiaozhi, and his father, Ding Gongzhu, was the governor of Huanzhou. When he was still a child, Ding Gongzhu passed away, and Ding Buling inherited his throne and established a separate kingdom in Dahuang Hualudong.

Hualu Dong was originally weak in strength, but Ding's leader was a rare figure. He fought in the south and north, and without a single defeat, he was praised by his tribe as the "King of Ten Thousand Victories" and became as good as the Twelve Envoys.

"Father, good news!"

Ding Kuanglian walked into the cave and came to Ding Buling's side.

Ding Buling had a burly figure and a huge shoehorn face, which looked particularly strange. With a smile through his slender eyes, he guessed: "Chen Minggong has agreed to our surrender?"

Ding Kuanglian said: "That's not true, but news has been sent that my father went to Buhaikou to talk about it. I think it was to discuss our surrender. Who knows the strength of our Hualudong, Jiaozhi? My father is willing to surrender, and Chen Minggong is not How could a fool refuse?"

"Okay!" Ding Buling said without hesitation: "As a father, I will go on a trip to pay a visit to my father..."

The father and son looked at each other and laughed because of the word "Father".

The person led by Ding Bu held a script for the protagonist. He was born in a general, but his father died early and he was lonely since he was a child. His uncle stole his father's power inheritance and drove them to a cave next to the mountain god's temple.

With the support of his mother Tan, Ding Buling summoned his father's old troops, successfully defeated his uncle Ding Yu and surrendered, and gained the foundation to establish a foothold in Jiaozhi.

Next, he conquered the north and south without losing a single victory, and became the victorious king of Jiaozhi.

However, the military power of the Ding tribe is strong, but the political power is extremely average.

He is a Han Chinese barbarian, not a truly powerful Han man. He does not have the support of scholars and has no military capabilities. However, due to lack of money and food, he is unable to go on expeditions and engage in long-term foreign wars.

The leader of the Ding tribe was very ambitious and had long had the ambition to become the king of Jiaozhi. However, he only had military power but no money or food to support him.

Faced with this dilemma, Ding Buling came up with a solution.

Recognize daddy!

Chen Lan and Chen Minggong had money, food and territory but no son.

Dingbu Ling came to his house to be his son, and after a hundred years of waiting for him, everything in the exhibition will belong to his Dingbu Ling.

The leader of his Ding tribe has an invincible army, and if he can get Chen Lan's money and food, how can he take over Jiaozhi?

Dingbu was summoned by Chen Lan and without any delay, he rode a fast horse to the mouth of Buhai.

Chen Lan respected his future No. 1 general very much and went out to the city to greet him personally. He was overjoyed when he saw the strange appearance of leader Ding.

This ancient book says: Innate visions are priceless.

This Dingbu has a shoehorn face that is as long as a donkey's face. It looks very expensive at first glance.

Historically, when Chen Lan saw the appearance of leader Ding, he felt happy, adopted him as his adopted son, and gave his army to his command.

After a hundred years of Chen Lan, Dingbu leader integrated the financial and material resources of Buhaikou and the military strength of Hualu cave, and put down the rebellion of the Twelve Envoys in one fell swoop.

But now Chen Lan knew that he was childless and that was the reason why Zhongyuan chose him. He could serve as the first uncrowned king of Jiaozhi, but the right to choose the second one did not count, so he had no idea of ​​accepting an adopted son.

Dingbu was born with such a unique personality, and he was just right to be his first general.

Ding Buling looked at the "father" in front of him, and respectfully saluted and said hello: "I have met Mr. Ming."

Chen Lan laughed loudly: "I have long admired the name of the King of Victories. Sure enough, the name is as good as the person he is. If my father knows that you have achieved such an achievement, I must be very happy... Come, follow me inside and talk about it.

.”

One of them wants to recruit a general, and the other wants to recognize his father, which makes them very compatible.

Until Chen Lan got to the point: "Let Nephew Ding Xian know the truth. I have already made contact with the Central Plains. Pan Mei is about to recommend a certain person to be the governor of Jinghai and the protector of Annan. Once this appointment is made, I will use the name of the emperor to appoint someone."

Crush the rebellion. When the time comes, let your wise nephew be your commander, and you and I will serve the Central Plains together."

Ding Buling's expression instantly stiffened.

Compared to Chen Lan, a Jiaozhi scholar who came to China, Ding Bu leader was a local native and had no sense of belonging to the Central Plains. On the contrary, he was very hostile.

Jiaozhi was a scholar group composed of Han people who had the right to speak, but the local natives were not allowed to be reused.

Thinking that he had spent so much time planning to this point, but could not compare with the call from the Central Plains, he felt very unsatisfied and said: "I wonder if the Emperor of the Central Plains can be trusted? The emperor of Lingnan also swore to say this and that, but in the end he still couldn't agree with him.

Send troops to conquer."

During Pan Mei's southern expedition, leader Ding had an ominous premonition and didn't want it to be true.

Chen Lan also thought that he was worried about his own interests, and said: "The emperor of the Central Plains is wise and powerful, and he will not treat his nephew badly. If his limited ability is limited to Jiaozhi, it is a talent. If he doesn't perform well like this, when he expresses his merits,

I would like to recommend you to your Majesty to join the imperial court as a general, to join the ranks of famous generals like Cao Bin, Pan Mei, and Li Chuyun, to fight against opponents like the Khitan. If you were ten years younger, I would not have given this opportunity to you."

Ding Buling tried his best to calm down, and after spending a lifetime drinking with Chen Lan, he returned to Hualu Cave in a daze.

Ding Kuanglian came towards me and said with a smile: "Father, this is great news."

Ding Buling became angry and cursed: "What better news is there than that Chen Lan has the support of the Central Plains?"

He was drunk, took out the sword from his waist, and chopped down a tree as big as a bowl next to him.

If the sword penetrates three points into the tree, it cannot move forward.

He slashed the sword three times in succession and successfully broke the sword.
