Then, Ding Nanjing told the three people what Emperor Chishun had entrusted to them, and also explained the situation of the three people.
Needless to say, Ding Nanjing took root in Xiangzhou by winning over local nobles and cultivating confidants, and then gradually brought the entire Xiangzhou under his command.
Ding Yijun, who went west, was similar to Ding Nanjing. He also took over Chuanzhou. Ding Nanjing originally wanted to send someone to congratulate him.
Unexpectedly, Ding Yijun's subordinates suddenly rebelled and blocked the envoy's way. Since then, there has been little news leaving Sichuan Province.
The terrain of Chuanzhou, located in the southwest, is very isolated. As long as the two cities are captured, the people inside will be locked in Chuanzhou and will find it difficult to contact the outside world.
As for Ding Liyou who went east, he failed to complete his mission and lost his life.
His mission was accomplished by killing his own Xie Botai, who earned him the title of Linzhou Tyrant Tiger.
"Xie Botai... I have met him once. It is said that his second son, Xie Wenzhou, is extremely intelligent. He could recite ancient Chinese texts even by heart when he was young." Upon hearing Xie Botai's name, Ding Yunyi added relevant information.
"That's right, it's a pity that this kid is not good at commanding troops and fighting. If he is as fierce as his father, Xiangzhou will be difficult to defend." Ding Nanjing pointed to Handu County. To the east of here is the power of the Xie family.
Because Ding Nanjing's territory bordered on theirs, the two had occasional conflicts, especially when Xie Botai was alive.
This situation was not eased until Xie Botai's death, because the Xie family split and became turbulent. One faction supported the mediocre and incompetent eldest son, while the other faction supported Xie Wenzhou, the heir designated by Xie Wenzhou.
Originally, Ding Nanjing wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to attack Linzhou, but Lu Ganhai, who occupied Yuwan County at that time, moved south, forcing Ding Nanjing to focus on the north.
By the time Lu Ganhai withdrew his troops, Xie Wenzhou had already quelled the unrest and officially took charge of the Xie family.
Despite this, Xie Wenzhou still did not dare to mobilize troops at will. He waited until the influx of refugees before launching an attack on Xiangzhou, and Chutian County was almost captured.
"Brother, it's really not easy. If there were more Ding Nanjings in the world, how could the Chi Dynasty be so chaotic?" Ding Yunyi also lamented with Ding Nanjing, feeling sad about this chaotic world.
"No, you are too kind, brother. It has not been easy for both of us. I have heard of your great name a long time ago. You have been working hard for the revival of the Red Dynasty. I cannot match your sincerity." Ding Nanjing also praised Ding Yunyi.
Unlike Ding Nanjing, Ding Yunyi's battle experience was quite bumpy.
The world was divided into thirteen provinces: in the east there were Hai, Huai, Xin and Ying provinces; in the south there were Chuan, Xiang, Lin and Ling provinces; in the west there were An and Long provinces; and in the north there were Yan, Guan and Chang provinces.
Ding Yunyi ran everywhere except the west.
At first, he joined Lu Ganyue's mortal enemy Murong Ming and was responsible for guarding Changzhou in the north. As a result, he was driven to Haizhou and Huaizhou in the east by Lu Ganyue, and then driven to the south of Yingzhou by Lu Ganhai's younger brother Lu Ganyue.
It has been a bumpy road.
It can be said that he has been defeated time and time again, but it can also be said that he has been fighting again and again despite repeated failures.
Perhaps the only highlight was that he led the troops and worked together with Xiahou Jing to repel Yuchi Feng in the west.
At that time, he and Xiahou Jing welcomed Emperor Chihui back to Yingdu, and he was finally appointed as the Right General.
In terms of official position, Ding Yunyi is higher than Ding Nanjing.
But in terms of strength, Ding Yunyi is no match for Ding Nanjing.
"Alas... Brother, please don't laugh at me. I only have a heart full of passion to serve my country."
"What does Yun Yi mean?"
Ding Yunyi then told the story of Emperor Chihui's experience in Yingdu, pointing out that Emperor Chihui was just a puppet of Xiahou Jing.
"Yun Yi! The other two emperors are also puppets!" Ding Nanjing pointed to Anzhou in the west and Changzhou in the north.
In the west, Yuchi Feng held Emperor Chishun's second son, Emperor Chihuai, hostage, while in the north, Lu Ganyue controlled the youngest son, Emperor Chimu.
"Even so... this Chi Dynasty is still the world of our Ding family... But Lu Ganhai proclaimed himself emperor. My dear brother, do you know what this means?" Ding Nanjing pointed to Huaizhou where Lu Ganyue was.
Ding Yunyi naturally understood what Ding Nanjing meant, that is, the emergence of an emperor of a foreign surname would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Chi Dynasty.
If it is not suppressed, who knows how many people will become kings and how many will become emperors.
"My dear brother, now that we've come to this, let me ask you a question... Which emperor do you think we should support as emperor?" Ding Nanjing voiced out the question that was hidden deep in his heart, looking directly into the other person's eyes.
