Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 479
In the next few days, there was an endless stream of visitors from Chen Gong. As Chen Gong said, for many people in Xiliang, they can see the benefits of Chu Nan’s New Deal. Erfa, here in Xiliang, most people may not have the opportunity to step into the center of power in a lifetime or even two or three generations.

Now, Chu Nan's New Deal is a huge blow to the gentry in the Central Plains, but it is beneficial to the gentry in Xiliang, allowing them to enter the core of power.

"Teacher." There was a knock on Chen Gong's door, and Zhao Yun's voice sounded outside the door.

"Come in." Chen Gong was flipping through the bamboo slips.

Zhao Yun pushed the door open, came to Chen Gong to salute, knelt down and sat down at Chen Gong's signal.

"What's the matter?" Chen Gong asked with a smile.

"I've been waiting for several days, and I'm a little worried about Chang'an." Zhao Yun expressed his worries and looked at Chen Gongdao.

There are only Duan Yan and Luo Ping'an in Chang'an. Duan Yan is the new general. Although his family members have been sent to Xuchang, it is still difficult to guarantee that they will not be there for a long time. Duan Yan will not harbor ill intentions.

In this way, in fact, only Luo Ping'an can be trusted by Chang'an.

Zhao Yun feels that Luo Ping'an is not good enough to take on the big responsibility now, but it is hard to say it clearly. Now that Luo Ping'an controls the situation in Jingzhao alone, he is worried about Jingzhao, and at the same time, he is also worried about Luo Ping'an's safety.

"Duan Yan is suspicious and weak by nature. Not to mention that he is not sure of regaining power now, even if there is, he will worry about the court's revenge." Chen Gong said with a smile: "If something big happens, this person will not help, but They will never make trouble in the dark, Ziyan's vicious reputation will still be feared by the people of the world."

Chu Nan’s vicious reputation in the past few years is not just talk. There are so many lessons learned from the past. It may not deter the bold or reckless, but for Duan Yan, who is timid and suspicious by nature, Deterrent is enough.

So unless the news of Chu Nan's defeat of Yuan Shao comes now, it is unlikely that Duan Yan will have a problem here.

"I know you are worried about Luo Ping'an..." Chen Gong felt a little helpless when he said this. Zhao Yun values ​​love and righteousness. As long as others show a little kindness to him, Zhao Yun will treat him with heart and soul. According to Chu Nan, this It was caused by the lack of care in childhood. Zhao Yun can only come out by himself, experience enough betrayals or wake up one day, otherwise all others can do is guide.

"But as long as Luo Pingan doesn't act or show cowardice, it will still be a deterrent to Liang Xing and others." Chen Gong wanted to laugh when he thought of the oppressive feeling Luo Pingan brought to those people, but it was precisely because of this that he could Bring Zhao Yun to Xiliang.

In many places in Xiliang, the Qiang people make up a huge proportion. They only respect the strong, so like Dong Zhuo in the past, the Ma family can gain great influence among the Qiang people today.

Bringing Zhao Yun over will greatly increase the success rate.

"Zilong." Seeing that Zhao Yun still looked worried, Chen Gong asked with a smile: "We are in a hurry right now, maybe the land of Jingzhao will be safe?"

Zhao Yun shook his head.

"Then should we give up here immediately and return to Jingzhao?"

Zhao Yun shook his head again.

"Since the matter in front of us cannot be given up, and the land of Jingzhao is difficult to control, then worrying will become superfluous. It is better to calm down and get things done as soon as possible, and then take care of Jingzhao's affairs. For one thing, even if there is a problem with Jingzhao, we still have a chance to do things well. There is no such thing as two things in the world. It is difficult to control everything in your hands. It will be like the sand in your palm. The tighter you hold, the less you'll catch."

Looking at this disciple, Chen Gong said with a smile: "If you want to do big things, you have to know how to choose. If you can't grasp it, don't grasp it. Let others do it well. He is also a disciple taught by the Hall of Strange People, not too bad!"

"Disciple understands." Zhao Yun bowed and said.

"It's good to understand. The matter here is about to come to fruition. As long as I can persuade Ma Teng to help me, I can persuade Han Sui." Chen Gong said with a smile: "Han Sui agrees, and the other four generals will be more easily persuaded." .”

Among the generals in Xiliang, the strongest should be Ma Teng and Han Sui, and now Ma Teng has almost convinced him.

As for Han Sui, according to Chen Gong's understanding of this person, he is very good at taking advantage of the situation. Now, on the surface, Chen Gong has subdued Duan Yan and Liang Xing's five major forces in the pass. If Ma Teng surrenders again, the other party may take the initiative to come cast.

The fact that the two major powers of Ma and Han accepted the imperial court's order meant that most of the forces in Guanzhong had now turned to the imperial court, and the remaining four did not even need Chen Gong to come forward, as long as they were not stupid, they would vote for themselves.

At that time, the Guanzhong Allied Forces will start their first battle against Yuan Shao first.

Now Yuan Shao is still in the stage of testing Chu Nan, and doesn't pay much attention to Guan Zhong. When the two big forces are fighting, whoever has more chess pieces will have a greater advantage.

Guanzhong may not be the key factor in determining the outcome, but it is definitely a key chess piece.

In the next three days, as Chen Gong expected, Ma Teng agreed to help the court to fight against the traitors under Chen Gong's sincere invitation. What the palace brought was coins, but in these years, grain and grass were the hard currency.

As long as they see food and grass, they will send troops.

And this first batch of food and grass came from Yuan Shao!

……

Jizhou, Yecheng.

During the recent period, the Jizhou Army has frequently harassed Yanhezhou County in southern Chu. Although there were losses, the attitude of only defending and not attacking gave Yuan Shao an illusion that Chu Nan did not dare to fight himself recklessly.

"My lord, judging from the information we have found in the Central Plains, Chu Nan has already sent more troops to various places. Although he only defends but does not attack, he has obviously begun to prepare for a big war between the two sides." Xu You saluted Yuan Shao: "This battle No further delay!"

Xu You has already noticed that something is wrong. The soldiers who invaded the Central Plains encountered extremely fierce resistance from the people. In the past, the common people were not included in their calculations. They were like fish and meat. It was the people's resistance that had already caused considerable casualties to the Jizhou army that had invaded the enemy.

Among them, what Xu You saw was Chu Nan's war potential. These common people who also practiced the technique of visualization can become a strong army with a little training.

On the Jizhou side, if the main force is severely damaged, it will be a problem to replenish the source of troops. If recruits want to reach the level of veterans, they need to practice visualization for at least one year.

They can become an army with a little training, but it takes a lot of time to train their own side. Therefore, if they can't defeat Chu Nan with a crushing force, the risk of Jizhou's defeat will increase exponentially.

"My lord, Feng thinks that it is time to promote ideas among the people in Jizhou. Once the battle in the front changes, the rear can replenish enough troops in time to meet the battle!" Tian Feng considered the problem of replenishing their soldiers in case of serious battle damage.

This kind of thinking is undoubtedly a bit pessimistic, but Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Xu You and others who opposed Tian Feng at the beginning chose to remain silent at this time.

Judging from the results of the current trial, among other things, Chu Nan's stamina must be greater than theirs. Once this war becomes a war of attrition, and they still stick to their previous concepts, they forbid the technique of visualization to flow into the people. The longer it drags on, the worse it will be for them.

According to the current situation, it is basically an extravagant hope to defeat Chu Nan with a destructive force. Even though Chu Nan is showing an attitude of calming down the situation, everyone present is not a fool. Chu Nan is not showing weakness, he is just showing weakness Show it to the world, just to gain sympathy.

How disgusting!

Now, after being harassed for so long, it was Yuan Shao who did not dare to start a war rashly. Chu Nan's war potential made them somewhat uncertain.

Yuan Shao felt a little irritable, nodded his head and said: "Let's follow Yuan Hao's plan and promote the technique of visualization before the folks."

"Here!" Tian Feng heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Yuan Shao's mouth would be hardened, and these colleagues also insisted on not opening up. Although it is not a time of life and death, they are not as confident in the prospect of the war as they were at the beginning.

"Come in." Yuan Shao saw a guard coming to the door, but he didn't speak. It should be something to report, but the matter is not important. This position is facing Yuan Shao. If Yuan Shao agrees to him coming in, he will be summoned. , if you disagree, then wait until you have finished discussing with everyone before reporting.

After getting Yuan Shao's permission, the personal guards stepped in quickly, bowed to Yuan Shao and said, "My lord, Zhen Yao from the Zhen family asks to see you."

"Zhen Yao?" Yuan Shao frowned when he heard the words. With the disappearance of Zhen Mi, the relationship between the Yuan family and the Zhen family was broken. What's the matter with Zhen Yao coming here?

"Let him come in." Yuan Shao waved his hand, signaling for people to come in. The big battle is imminent, and a wealthy businessman like the Zhen family who has a lot of wealth is still very useful.

"Here!" The guard agreed, bowed and left, and brought Zhen Yao in after a while.

"Zhen Yao sees the general!" Zhen Yao bowed to Yuan Shao.

Although the imperial court has deprived Yuan Shao of his official position, Yuan Shao is still a great general in Jizhou. People don't recognize him, and it is impossible for your imperial court to forcefully go to Yecheng to seize the official seal.

"What's the matter?" Yuan Shao looked at Zhen Yao and said.

"General, according to the report from our family merchants, the imperial court sent the great Confucian Chen Gong to Guanzhong a month ago." Zhen Yao bowed and said, "Using grain and grass as bait, he recruited generals in Guanzhong such as Duan Yan and Liang Xing."

Yuan Shao naturally knew about this matter, if Chen Gong couldn't grasp the movement of the core figure of Chu Nan's forces, there was no need to get confused, looked at Zhen Yao and said: "I will know about this matter, Ziyu has a heart."

"Yao came here today because he has a plan, maybe he can restrain Chen Gong." Zhen Yao bowed.

"Oh?" Yuan Shao looked at Zhen Yao with great interest when he heard the words, and said, "What's the plan?"

"The Zhen family is willing to donate money and food, go to Xiliang, and lobby the Xiliang generals to suppress Chen Gong!" Zhen Yao bowed.

Of course, the most important thing is to trade with Chen Gong, but this kind of thing obviously cannot be brought to the table.

Yuan Shao looked at Zhen Yao, thought for a while and said, "Alright, if this can be done, Ziyu can be the prefect of Changshan!"

It's no secret in Jizhou that the Zhen family is looking for an official career. Originally, when Zhen Mi married Yuan Xi, the Zhen family could gain some power in the official circles of Youzhou. Unfortunately, this matter has faded away. Now the Zhen family wants to find another way out. , Yuan Shao can also understand.

Besides, in Guanzhong, in Yuan Shao's view, it was just an idle move. He didn't think that those scattered forces in Guanzhong could have a big impact on him, and it didn't matter if he could do his best or not.

"Thank you, General!" Zhen Yao was overjoyed. With Yuan Shao's consent, the Zhen family could transport goods to Guanzhong in a legitimate way. Now, he asked Yuan Shao for a letter of decree and left...
