Nanchang City, the temporary residence of the King of Chu.
In the living room, Lu Yuan asked the chamberlain to summon Yin Huixuan, then he got up and came here, waiting for the other party to arrive.
While waiting, he also thought about Yin Huixuan.
Lu Yuan has admired Yin Huixuan for a long time.
When he was still a hunter in Dayu County, he had heard the name of Grandmaster Yin Huixuan for a long time, and knew that he was the number one martial artist in Yuzhang County, and his martial arts skills were unfathomable.
Later, the Black Wind Bandits caused trouble in Luling Mansion. The local government and martial arts were unable to control it, making the thieves rampant for a while.
Finally, it attracted the attention of the Liuyang Sect, and ordered Yin Huixuan, the leader, to cross the Yangtze River and go south to personally eliminate the Black Wind Bandit rebellion and restore peace to Luling Mansion.
Later, they traced the source of the thieves and found out that it was the Lingnan Wulin who wanted to expand outwards, so he just extended his tentacles to Yuzhang.
So Master Yin went to Lingnan in anger and swept the South China Sea with his palm, easily overpowering the entire Lingnan martial arts world.
At that time, Yan Wangqiu, the leader of the Nanhai martial arts world who was still in his twilight years and barely at his peak, was so frightened that he ran away after hearing about Yin Huixuan's name, not daring to stay in the sect and meet him.
The name of Liuyang Yin Huixuan was completely resounding throughout the south of the Yangtze River.
At that time, the elegance of one person who dominated Lingnan was even more exciting after being spread back to Yuzhang.
No matter they are people in the world, ordinary people, or even literati, they all feel yearned for it after hearing it.
Lu Yuan was no exception.
When he heard about Yin Huixuan's deeds, he took it as his goal and determined to ascend to Xiantian, stand at the top of the world, be proud of the martial arts world, and become a heroic hero.
But later times changed, Jiangnan was in chaos, the Yue family declined, and Yangzhou became crowded with heroes.
Because of his good friend Sun Siwen, Lu Yuan gradually went from hiding in the streets to becoming an official in the imperial court, and finally became the king of Chu in the troubled times.
The past is over, and it is sad.
While he was thinking, there was movement outside the door, and the chamberlain who went to deliver the order led someone into the hall.
"Caomin Yin returns to the mansion to pay homage to the king."
Although Yin Huixuan is the head of Liuyang Sect, he has always been in the world, has never held any official position, and has no famous titles. In front of the court, he was no different from ordinary people.
Therefore, after entering the hall, perform the courtesy of common people.
Lu Yuan also took this opportunity to look at the number one martial artist in Jiangnan.
I saw that the other party had a half-white beard and hair, was dressed in green clothes, and had a thin appearance. He had a restrained temperament that was not exposed to the outside world, but did not lose the slightest bit of majesty. He was indeed a great master.
From this perspective, he knew that this Yangzhou martial arts leader lived up to his reputation.
"No need to be polite."
With this thought in his mind, Lu Yuan raised his hand slightly and asked Yin Huixuan to stand up. At the same time, he said with a faint smile: "I have been waiting for several years, but Master Yin has come so late."
"The king defeated the Lingnan and Jiangdong armies, wiped out the two countries, and repeatedly defeated Ning and Song Dynasty. Now he dominates the south of the Yangtze River and dominates a state.
The grassroots people living in Pengli River also heard about the reputation of the Chu army.
In the past, when the king invited you, the common people were worried about the safety of their sect and the inheritance of their ancestors, so they did not dare to come alone from thousands of miles away to join.
Now the king has raised his troops in Yuzhang, and his power is approaching the east of the Yangtze River. The people of Ning are frightened for a while, and the Liuyang sect is also a great people of Chu.
The common people finally dare to admire me and come to vote. I hope your Majesty will forgive me for being slow and negligent. "
Yin Huixuan saw the smile on Lu Yuan's face, and his heart trembled. He quickly prostrated himself on the ground and stepped forward to apologize.
After the Chu State became hegemonic, Chu's prestige spread throughout Jiuzhou and was respected by the world.
At that time, in the north and south of the Yangtze River, there were many unsuccessful people in various countries. When they heard the name of Chu, they all came to seek help and recommended themselves to the superior.
Suddenly, countless people came to seek refuge in Chu. They flooded the rivers and it was difficult to see the beginning or end.
The State of Chu also took this opportunity to select talented people and recruit talents for the country's use.
After the Northern Expedition to Hanzhong, Chu State successively expanded its army by hundreds of thousands, and its troops and horses increased by nearly half. It was able to have enough generals to serve in the army, and it benefited from this without worrying about talents.
If there were no wise men from the north and south of the Yangtze River who came to invest, and the hundreds of talented and powerful men they obtained would fill the army after the assessment and become the commanders and commanders of the grassroots troops, it would be difficult to have the strong army we have today.
Because of this, Lu Yuan, who had received a lot of benefits at that time, began to know the taste of the marrow and began to do more than just actively wait for others to come to him.
Instead, he sent envoys and spies to various countries to invite talented people to help Chu.
At that time, Yin Huixuan of the Liuyang Sect, who was located in the south of the Yangtze River and could even be said to be half of his hometown, had extremely strong military force and was widely involved in Yuzhang, naturally came into Lu Yuan's eyes.
Therefore, when the Chu State became hegemonic and became qualified to recruit the Xiantian Grand Master, he tentatively sent envoys to the Liuyang Sect to contact them and try to recruit Yin Huixuan.
However, although Chu State dominated the south of the Yangtze River, it was vaguely coexisting with Ning State and had the potential to share Yangzhou.
But at that time, the Chu State had just established its hegemony, but its strength was still weak, with only eight million citizens and half a million soldiers. It was still far behind Jiangdong Ning State.
In the eyes of many people, the Ning State, which had ruled Jiangdong for two thousand years, was from a Linhai family and had a profound heritage, had greater hope of unifying Yangzhou than the newly born Chu State.
Therefore, when faced with Chu's solicitation, the Liuyang Sect said that they were from Jianghu and were not involved in court matters, so they declined directly and did not agree.
This is normal.
Because in the face of Ning Guo's recruitment, the Liuyang Sect did the same thing.
The state of Chu was not as good as the state of Ning at that time, so how could Yin Huixuan surrender?
Lu Yuan also knew this at the beginning, so when the Liuyang Sect declined, he did not force it and simply gave up the idea.
When Yin Huixuan saw Lu Yuan talking, he vaguely mentioned the original incident.
I was afraid that the King of Chu was still resentful and blamed the Liuyang Sect, so he took the initiative to come forward and make a soft gesture.
"Haha, what did Master Yin say?"
When Lu Yuan saw Yin Huixuan's expression of surrender, he couldn't help laughing. He took two steps forward and helped him up. He said happily: "Master Yin can raise his door and come to seek refuge. It's no less than getting one hundred thousand." Master, it’s too late to be happy, so how can I blame you?”
These sentiments are by no means empty words.
The Liuyang Sect's reputation in the martial arts world was broadcast in Yangzhou, and even in Qingzhou and Yongzhou, Jiangbei.
If you take it for your own use, you can capture the hearts of martial arts heroes from the north and south of the Yangtze River, and make the knights scattered in the rivers and lakes compete to serve in Chu.
In Yuzhang County, the Liuyang Sect has tens of thousands of disciples, and its influence spreads throughout the county. It can be said that it is deeply rooted.
With his help, Da Chu will surely easily capture Yuzhang.
As for Yin Huixuan himself, let alone him.
As the third grandmaster in Yangzhou, besides Lu Yuan and Shen Qiu, to reach the second realm of Xiantian, his strength can be said to be unparalleled in Jiangnan.
Before Lu Yuan, the innate killer, had not yet risen, Yin Huixuan's personal strength was recognized to be better than Shen Qiu, and he was secretly the number one person in Jiangnan.
Therefore, if we can get his help, the Chu Kingdom's top combat strength will have a second level grandmaster after Lu Yuan and his two clones.
Therefore, if you accept the Liuyang Sect, you can capture the hearts of martial arts people from the south and north of the Yangtze River, you can capture the power of Yuzhang Jianghu, and you can win Yin Huixuan, the second-level master.
The benefits here are countless.
Lu Yuan was naturally moved by this, otherwise he would not have sent an envoy to Yuzhang to recruit him.
But in the end he was rejected.
When Yin Huixuan saw that Lu Yuan had no intention of blaming him, he felt relieved and quickly replied: "There are many talents in Chu, millions of soldiers, advisers like clouds, warriors like rain, and a common man. He only has some martial arts and dare not become a king." This praise is comparable to that of a hundred thousand troops.
But if your Majesty does not think that the common people are stupid and ignorant, and are at the bottom of the rivers and lakes, Huixuan is willing to lead the entire sect to serve the great Chu. "
Yin Huixuan looked at Lu Yuan and earnestly expressed his intention to surrender.
A few years ago, he declined Chu's invitation to envoys.
It can be said that he is aloof, graceful and proud, and is praised by others.
However, this time, that time.
At the beginning, the state of Chu was weak and not favored by the people in the world.
The struggle for hegemony between Yangzhou has always been considered by the world to be difficult to determine the winner within a few decades.
But in a five-nation campaign, the Chu army quickly destroyed Su and Nanhai, and secured the land of Lingnan.
Now he defeated the army of Ning State and captured half of the jade from the east of the Yangtze River.
Even Yuzhang County, where the Liuyang Sect was located, became the territory of the Chu Kingdom.
The Liuyang Sect was also a subject of the Chu State.
The general trend of Jiangnan has become completely clear with the disastrous defeat of Ning Guo.
Anyone can see that Ningguo, which only has two counties left, is just hanging on.
When the Chu State digests the results of the war, obtains the money, food and people from Lingnan and Jiangdong, collects the troops from the two places, and attacks them, the Ning State will surely perish.
In the past, Chu and Ning were fighting each other, and Yuzhang County was on the border between the two countries, so both sides were wary of each other. No one dared to overly force the Liuyang Sect, lest they be forced to the enemy country and used by others.
Therefore, relying on this balance, the Liuyang Sect can have both sides, with a neutral attitude, alone outside the two countries, and can be its own overlord of the world.
But now that the Ning State was defeated and the Chu State had seized half of the land east of the Yangtze River, the Liuyang Sect had become a sect under the Chu State's rule, and there was no room for bargaining anymore.
So after seeing the situation clearly, the Liuyang Sect no longer had any independent capital, so they did not need Lu Yuan to send envoys to persuade them, so they took the initiative to come and join forces.
"Headmaster Yin is willing to lead the heroes of Liuyang Sect to join our army, Dachu. Gu is naturally willing to do such a good thing."
Lu Yuan nodded slightly, in response to Yin Huixuan's intention to surrender, but he changed the topic again and said seriously: "But let's talk about the ugly things first, govern the country and the people alone, put strict law first, use the law to rule the place, and stabilize the country.
Now that Yuzhang is owned by the Chu State, the laws of the Chu State will be implemented here in the future.
The Liuyang Sect is deeply involved in this area, and its disciples live in prefectures and counties.
In the past, when Ning Guo ruled Yuzhang, you didn't care how you acted.
But from now on, when our country of Chu governs Yuzhang, you must strictly abide by the laws of Chu and must not disobey them.
Otherwise, anyone who violates the law will be punished with criminal penalties, and no one will be spared.
Let me tell you this first. After you go back and tell it to your disciples, can you keep it? "
Lu Yuan looked at Yin Huixuan with a stern tone.
In the past, Lu Yuan and Sun Siwen were drinking in the plum forest. This good friend once said that his life's ambition is to eliminate corrupt officials, eliminate swords and weapons from the rivers and lakes, establish civil and military bans, and bring peace to the people of the world.
Thanks to his support, the above ambitions have been basically realized in Chu State after more than ten years of hard work under Sun Siwen's leadership.
Most of the officials promoted and appointed in the country are honest and dedicated to the public affairs, so the politics are clear and the local governance is great.
Jianghu sects are also under the jurisdiction of the government. Private fights and vendettas in Jianghu are strictly prohibited, and violators will be severely punished.
With such a two-pronged approach, the Chu State had sufficient financial resources, and was able to maintain the army of a large country as a small country and compete for supremacy in the world.
Jianghu warriors were afraid of the strict law and did not dare to compete for local fame. They mostly chose to join the army and fight for wealth on the battlefield, so Chu soldiers were many and mighty.
The above two points of state governance are already the unswerving national policies of Chu State, and they are also the foundation of prosperity.
Therefore, although Lu Yuan was happy to join the Liuyang Sect, he also knew that these Jianghu sects were used to being loose and free and did not like to be restricted.
The Liuyang Sect has always been the largest sect in the south of the Yangtze River. Many of its disciples are proud of this, and they even consider themselves to be a higher level than ordinary martial artists.
For people like this, it is very difficult to get them to obey orders and abide by the law.
When the Chu State was dealing with those first- and second-rate sects who were not yet innate, in order to make them obey orders, they did not hesitate to destroy dozens of Jianghu forces, kill thousands of people, and implicate and punish tens of thousands of people. Only then did they have great governance in the country today. of peace.
Needless to say, Xiantian sects like the Liuyang Sect are definitely more difficult to treat.
A tycoon like the Liuyang Sect had tens of thousands of disciples, his influence spread throughout a county, and his reputation spread across several states. Such a behemoth could be compared to a whole country.
If it becomes turbulent, it can bring disaster to a state.
With such unstable factors, how could the Chu State allow it to wander outside and not be under its control?
Therefore, if the Liuyang Sect is not wise, then after the Jiangdong is pacified and the Ning Kingdom is destroyed, the first priority of the Chu State will be to eliminate and suppress the Jianghu sects headed by the Liuyang Sect.
To ban the martial arts in the Jianghu, collect the soldiers of the world, and eliminate the chaos of heroes.
Therefore, before accepting the other party's surrender, Lu Yuan must first make an agreement with Yin Huixuan and explain everything, so as not to cause displeasure and enmity between the two parties in the future because his disciples broke the law and were dealt with by the Chu State.
"The chivalrous people used martial arts to violate the prohibition, and the Confucian scholars used literature to disturb the law. This matter is also known to the common people.
Nowadays, the world is in chaos, thieves have sprung up, wars are incessant, rituals and music have collapsed, and benevolence and righteousness have disappeared.
The king wants to clear up the chaos, unify the south of the Yangtze River, and restore peace to the world. The people should be governed with heavy laws, and the unparalleled people should dominate with force. "
Before Yin Huixuan came to take refuge, he had naturally studied the laws of Chu and was well prepared for this.
Therefore, when he saw Lu Yuan's first explanation, he was not surprised at all, and he replied respectfully: "I, a disciple of the Liuyang Sect, have always put chivalry first, and have always strictly prohibited my disciples from committing crimes, killing innocent people indiscriminately, and creating a bad place.
In the future, if any disciples really violate the laws of Chu and commit crimes, the king will deal with them as much as he can, and the common people will not dare to have the slightest objection. "
"good!"
Seeing that Yin Huixuan was so knowledgeable, Lu Yuan was satisfied and continued to smile on his face.
As long as Xiantian sects like the Liuyang Sect do not take the lead in violating the laws of Chu and cooperate in observing the laws, then Yuzhang County and other Jianghu sects in the counties of Yangzhou are just first- and second-rate forces and cannot cause trouble at all.
The world of Yangzhou is settled from now on.
Overjoyed, Lu Yuan couldn't help but stand up, walked back and forth, looked back at Yin Huixuan and said: "You understand justice so well, and I can't let you lose your loyalty. Yin Huixuan listens to the order."
"The grassroots are here." Yin Huixuan bowed.
"I will now appoint you as the divine general who protects our country in Great Chu. You will be of the first rank. If any of the disciples of the Liuyang Sect are brave enough, please submit your application. After being verified by a supervisor, you can also join our various ministries in Great Chu to serve in order to gain wealth and honor. Treat them as equals."
Lu Yuan made arrangements for the Liuyang Sect.
"Thank you."
Yin Huixuan's voice was excited. He accepted the appointment, and the last big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
With this promise and this reward, he and the Liuyang Sect finally survived the crisis of changing dynasties and ushered in new opportunities and development.
He finally lived up to his sect's trust and preserved his ancestral heritage.
