At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 163 Chen Youliang: When I am superior, no one dares to despise me anymore

Late at night.

A quiet courtyard in Qingjiang City.

Cheng Decai finished writing all the order documents for increasing the army in various places, and then arranged for his own soldiers to send all the order documents signed with his name to various places.

suddenly.

Guo Ying came to report.

Cheng De met Guo Ying in the study.

As soon as Guo Ying saw Cheng De, he hurriedly saluted Cheng De respectfully, and then said: "Report to General, Jiangducheng Luo Canjun sent someone over."

Cheng De glanced at Guo Ying, his eyes remained calm: "Where is the person?"

Guo Ying was startled, looked at Cheng De and said, "He's just outside the mansion."

Cheng De: "Let him come here directly! In the future, anyone sent by Luo Canjun from Jiangdu City will be brought directly to me without reporting."

Guo Ying nodded: "Yes, my subordinates have remembered."

After the words fell, Guo Ying turned around and walked outside.

not long time.

Guo Ying arrived with a tired looking soldier.

As soon as the soldier saw Cheng De, he knelt down on one knee, saluted Cheng De respectfully, and said, "I pay my respects to the general!"

Cheng De waved his hand and said, "Get up and talk. Luo Mao sent you here, but what's the matter?"

Hearing this, the soldier got up and quickly took out a sealed letter paper from his arms, then bowed his body, lowered his head, and walked quickly to Cheng De with the letter paper in both hands.

Cheng De took the letter paper, spread out the letter and read it on the spot.

After reading the contents of the letter, Cheng De fell into deep thought.

The soldier lowered his head and stared at the ground.

Guo Ying stood aside, looking at Cheng De out of the corner of his eye.

a long time.

Cheng Decai picked up the brush, and wrote in the blank space at the end of the document: Yes.

At the same time, Cheng De also signed his name.

After finishing writing, Cheng De handed the order document to the soldier and said, "Tell Luo Mao to increase Jiangdu City's army to [-] first. After that, he can follow the document. Of course, if he can If you have the confidence to take down the entire Zhenjiang Road, just let it go. All in all, play by ear.”

Soldier: "Yes, the little ones are written down."

Cheng De: "Yes. You go down to rest for a while, and then return to Jiangdu City after eating and drinking."

After hearing this, the soldier showed hesitation and was moved in his heart, but he had to listen to Cheng De's words.

Therefore, the soldier had no choice but to answer: "Yes."

After the soldiers left the study, Cheng De shifted his gaze to Guo Ying: "Go and rest well, our army will return to Sizhou City after dawn tomorrow."

Guo Ying met Cheng De's gaze, nodded, bowed to Cheng De, and then exited the study, leaving Cheng De alone facing the candles that bowed to him frequently.

The next day, it was dawn.

Cheng De led Deng Youde, Cheng Ying, Guo Ying, Zhou Dexing, Ke Shancai and [-] troops, escorted by Feng Guoyong, Li Xiaoci and others, out of Qingjiang City, heading towards Sizhou City and returning.

At the same time, a book secretary surnamed Chen who was far away in Qishui began to despise Emperor Xu Shouhui of Tianwan in his heart, and had some other thoughts in his mind.

This man is the famous Chen Youliang in history.

There are so many introductions about Chen Youliang, so let's briefly introduce him.

Chen Youliang is the son of a fisherman in Mianyang.

Grandfather Chen Qianyi was originally surnamed Xie, but he followed his surname because he joined the Chen family. His father, Chen Pu, had five sons, and Chen Youliang was the third.

When he was young, he studied, he had a little understanding of the meaning of the text, his physical strength was extraordinary, and he practiced martial arts in his spare time.

During this period, a fortune teller said after visiting the cemetery of his ancestors: "I will be rich in the future."

Chen Youliang believed it was true, he believed what the fortune teller said.

So I began to compare myself with the Han Gaozu in history before his fortune, and I began to want to build a career in this world.

He served as a small official in Mianyang County, but this was not his goal.

Until March 12, Zhizheng [-], Xu Shouhui sent his general Ni Wenjun back to Mianyang. Chen Youliang joined the Red Turban Army during the Huangpeng uprising, and became Ni Wenjun's secretary. Until now, he is very popular with Ni Wenjun Wenjun's appreciation.

It's just that he's been troubled recently.

It turned out that Ni Wenjun began to have a dissatisfaction with Emperor Tianwan Xu Shouhui, and since Ni Wenjun regarded Chen Youliang as his confidant, he did not shy away from him.

Chen Youliang was caught in a life decision.

After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to forget Ni Wenjun's words.

At present, even if he reported Ni Wenjun to Xu Shouhui, he might not get much credit, and it would not be conducive to his further pursuit of wealth.

With his low status now, if he really reported Ni Wenjun to Xu Shouhui, he might be regarded as someone with ulterior motives by Xu Shouhui, and his head would be in danger.

He analyzed it, and now that Xu Shouhui trusted Ni Wenjun very much, his idea of ​​reaping benefits for himself by relying on Ni Wenjun's words was not so realistic.

Unless Xu Shouhui doesn't trust Ni Wenjun, he will have a chance.

Ok?
If Xu Shouhui doesn't trust Ni Wenjun, he can't start with Xu Shouhui, but now Ni Wenjun has some bad ideas, as long as he caters to Ni Wenjun and guides Ni Wenjun to enlarge his ambition step by step, he can do it well , he can still do it.

During this period, he can use Ni Wenjun to gain more power. When Ni Wenjun and Xu Shouhui fall out, he will have the opportunity to rise up.

Thinking of this, Chen Youliang's eyes suddenly lit up.

Suddenly Chen Youliang thought of Cheng De who was far away in Sizhou City, and couldn't help feeling envious and jealous.

Everyone is poor, but this Cheng De is doing well, making Chen Youliang wish to replace him.

When he thought of himself, he was already 30 years old and had accomplished nothing. He just made a small book in Ni Wenjun's hands.

Compared with Cheng Deyi, Chen Youliang was very unwilling.

In terms of knowledge, he is more confident than Cheng De, who has a lower background.

In Chen Youliang's view, someone like Cheng De could become a world-famous leader of the rebel army, and so could he, Chen Youliang.

Chen Youliang encouraged himself secretly for a while, and then thought of a few bad things.

First of all, he inadvertently came into contact with the "Sizhou Daily" that came from far away in Sizhou City, and it was passed down from the hands of merchants.After he read the content of "Sizhou Daily", Chen Youliang had an idea in his mind.He thought that Tianwan could also produce a "Tianwan Daily".

As for the benefits that "Sizhou Daily" could bring, Chen Youliang realized after a little thought that this kind of thing is a sharp weapon.

However, after he put his own idea - following the example of "Sizhou Daily", he created "Tianwan Daily" and wrote the memorial and submitted it. Instead of being praised by Tianwan Emperor Xu Shouhui, he got a warning from Xu Shouhui instead.

The reason Xu Shouhui gave was: imitating the "Sizhou Daily" will only increase the prestige of Sizhou Army Cheng De, but destroy Tianwan's prestige, it is so stupid!
Because of this, Chen Youliang felt a little gloomy, and at the same time, he complained that Xu Shouhui was short-sighted and unable to achieve great things.

Secondly, the second bad thing is related to the origin of Tianwan.

Thinking about Tianwan's origin, Chen Youliang felt that Xu Shouhui was really mediocre in nature.

It's all over, isn't it auspicious to hear it?Was Xu Shouhui out of his mind?
According to Chen Youliang's intelligence, he understood Xu Shouhui's thoughts at a glance.If you remove the word Tianwan, you can find that it is Dayuan. This Xu Shouhui was afraid that his country name would not be able to suppress the Yuan Dynasty, so he came up with such a bad idea to get cheap on the word.

However, for some reason, every time Chen Youliang saw this country name, he always felt that it would be finished in a few days.

Such a mediocre person can sit in that position and point fingers at him with a superior attitude.

This made Chen Youliang feel even more uncomfortable.

In Chen Youliang's heart, this Xu Shouhui also has a good skin, which is not useful.

Hmph, isn't he the number one handsome man in Luotian?

In terms of ability, he is much worse than his current superior, Ni Wenjun.

Suddenly, Chen Youliang's eyes brightened.

He felt that Xu Shouhui was not good enough, but what about his superior Ni Wenjun?

Thinking of Ni Wenjun, Chen Youliang's face became cloudy and uncertain.

In just over a month, Chen Youliang learned a few things from Ni Wenjun.

Ni Wenjun, in a sense, can also be said to be Chen Youliang's teacher.

The first point is to have a thick skin and a dark heart.At this point, he has grasped the essence of it.

The second point is to cut the weeds and roots, non-toxic and non-husband.During the month he stayed by Ni Wenjun's side, he witnessed with his own eyes how Ni Wenjun wiped out the weeds.In other words, people can't stand firm if they are not ruthless.

The third point is that people do not kill heaven and earth for themselves.In this regard, Chen Youliang has already learned to the pinnacle, and he is better than blue than blue. He only needs to practice on Ni Wenjun in the future.

After a comprehensive analysis, Chen Youliang found that he needed a chance to do meritorious service.

He had already decided to give Ni Wenjun the opportunity to make meritorious service.

In the entire Tianwan Dynasty, the only thing he was afraid of was this Ni Wenjun.

Because Chen Youliang felt that Ni Wenjun was the same type of person as he was - ruthless and daring. Chen Youliang alone was enough for this type of person, and the others were a bit redundant.

As for Xu Shouhui, Chen Youliang felt that such a person was easy to grasp, and he could use him to gain higher power step by step.

He decided to be patient and profit from it when Ni Wenjun and Xu Shouhui broke up.

Fortunately, Ni Wenjun and Xu Shouhui attached great importance to him because he was relatively knowledgeable, although his current status was a bit lower.

Ni Wenjun also told him in the past few days that he would be promoted, and he had already submitted the memorial for his promotion, only waiting for Xu Shouhui's approval.

But when he thought of the memorial submitted in the morning, Xu Shouhui reprimanded him, and Chen Youliang was overshadowed.

This Xu Shouhui, it seems that the mud can't support the wall.

Chen Youliang learned some good things about the Sizhou Army from several issues of "Sizhou Daily".

For example, the establishment of "Tianwan Daily" to expand their personal influence; the establishment of a military academy to train generals in the army; the establishment of intelligence agencies similar to Jueshengwei and Jinyiwei
Chen Youliang took a deep breath and scolded: Damn it, if I sit in that position and give orders, remember it.

Thinking of this, Chen Youliang's heart skipped a beat, and a light called ambition burst out in his eyes.

Chen Youliang said in his heart: I have to climb up, keep climbing up to the highest peak, so that those who look down on me will finally bow their heads in front of me.When I am on top, no one dares to despise me!
Chen Youliang raised his head inadvertently, only to realize that Ni Wenjun had already stood in front of him at some point, and he couldn't help being surprised.

When Ni Wenjun came to Chen Youliang's office, he wanted to discuss something with him, but he saw that Chen Youliang seemed to be lost in thought because of the documents in his hand.

As a result, Ni Wenjun also felt a little curiosity in his heart. He wanted to know what kind of document it was that made his trusted confidant find it difficult.

When he came to Chen Youliang quietly, he found that he hadn't noticed him, so he set his eyes on the document in Chen Youliang's hand.

When he glanced at it, he happened to finish reading the document. At this moment, Chen Youliang seemed to have come to his senses.

"Chen Youliang pays homage to the Marshal!" Chen Youliang hurriedly got up and saluted Ni Wenjun, with a proper look of panic on his face.

Because Chen Youliang knew the boss in front of him very well, he was very disgusted with those people who cheated and played tricks.

Who knows, Ni Wenjun didn't blame Chen Youliang, but looked at Chen Youliang with a trace of gentleness in his eyes: "It's hard for you too! I just read the document you wrote. In my opinion, what you wrote on this document is They are very useful. However, our Emperor Tianwan can’t understand the deep meaning behind Cheng De’s founding of "Sizhou Daily"! Submitting your writing will only make him feel very embarrassed and destroy our Tianwan. prestige."

Chen Youliang was silent there, and did not answer immediately, but after thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and said: "In the opinion of the Marshal, can we follow the example of Sizhou Army Cheng De in founding "Tianwan Daily" and establishing a military academy? ?”

Ni Wenjun took a deep look at Chen Youliang, and replied calmly: "With him here, you should stop bringing up such thoughts in the future, so as not to be thankless."

Chen Youliang was taken aback, but he knew it in his heart.

"Marshal, I don't know what you need to ask Youliang?" Chen Youliang knew that Ni Wenjun came to him probably because he had something to ask him, so he asked knowingly.

Ni Wenjun: "I intend to move the capital of Tianwan from Qishui to Hanyang, repair the palace, and welcome Emperor Xu Shouhui of Tianwan to live in the Hanyang Emperor Palace. Therefore, this time I want to take Hanyang first, and I will attack the Yuan Dynasty in Dawan. The decline of the army."

Chen Youliang was shocked. Seeing Ni Wenjun's moody expression, he felt as if a turbulent sea had set off in his heart.

From what it means, is the marshal trying to take Xu Shouhui's seat?
In the end what happened?Why did the marshal have such an idea after only two days?
Chen Youliang was very confused, but he didn't ask any more questions.

In addition, Ni Wenjun's willingness to tell him this matter shows that he is still trustworthy in Ni Wenjun's heart.

"Do you think I can win Hanyang this time?" Ni Wenjun set his eyes on Chen Youliang.

Chen Youliang forcibly suppressed the doubts in his heart, pondered for a while, and said to Ni Wenjun: "This subordinate thinks that the marshal will definitely win Hanyang this time."

"Oh? Tell me!" Ni Wenjun gave Chen Youliang a surprised look.

"The marshal has just conquered Wuchang Road, and now the morale of our soldiers is like a rainbow, and the marshal's reputation is far and wide. As for the Yuan army, which has been defeated by the marshal several times, the morale is low. From this point of view, the odds of our soldiers winning against the Shangyuan army It is very big. In addition, the general guard of the Hanyang Yuan army is just a man who is greedy for life and fears death. If the marshal besieged Hanyang with heavy troops, and then secretly contacted the general guard of the Hanyang Yuan army to threaten and lure him, Hanyang would fall into the hands of the marshal. Isn't it easy?"

"Besides, if the marshal sends people to contact people with lofty ideals from all walks of life in Hanyang, and secretly promises them benefits, let them act as internal support and cooperate with us internally and externally, this Hanyang will definitely fall into the hands of the marshal."

Hearing Chen Youliang's words, Ni Wenjun looked at Chen Youliang with relief: "That's right! Your idea coincides with mine! This time, if I capture Hanyang, I will report your name. This time, no matter what After that day, Emperor Xu Shouhui will definitely show you something in order to give an explanation to the soldiers."

After finishing speaking, Chen Youliang quickly bowed to Ni Wenjun and said, "Thank you, Marshal, for your kindness."

Ni Wenjun smiled and said: "You deserve all of this. You played a big role in taking down Wuchang Road before. Then Xu Shouhui chilled your heart. As your boss, I don't want to be chilled." I have broken your heart, and there are still many places to count on you in the future!"

Chen Youliang pretended to be grateful, and said: "Marshal's kindness, Youliang must be remembered in his heart, and we will never forget each other."

Hearing Chen Youliang's expression, Ni Wenjun nodded in satisfaction, and was about to leave. Before leaving, he said, "Go ahead and deal with the affairs in hand, I will go to work first."

"Farewell to Marshal!" Chen Youliang bowed behind Ni Wenjun and shouted loudly, his voice full of respect.

Chen Youliang watched Ni Wenjun disappear with a glint in his eyes.

Hmph, if you really want to promote me, with your current status, why do you need to make that Emperor Tianwan nod?

Everything is just drawing a big pie for me that I will never eat.

If I want to climb higher, I, Chen Youliang, never count on others.

Everything, I can only rely on myself, and I can only count on myself.
