Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 531 Hidden worries?

In all fairness, Su Liao's view is correct, because from a normal point of view, the war in northern Xinjiang is one of Wang Jun's grand strategies, and it is also the result of Xianbei's internal conflicts. Not to mention Chen Zhi, even the court Can't be stopped.

In the face of this general trend, whether you turn a blind eye or escape, it is ultimately useless, because no matter how ostrich you are, when the war breaks out and the real front of the army is pointed directly at you, there is no way to avoid or resist it. .

Therefore, Su Liao and others completed the many preparations made by Chen Zhi without compromise and went all out to connect them, because if they don't pass this level, everything that follows will be out of the question.

However, the problems after getting through it have to be put on the agenda. I have made so many preparations just to get through it, but what happens after I get through it?
Overcoming the crisis means that the war is over. Northern Xinjiang has returned to peace after a round of war, and various power relations have returned to their original state. But the difference is that Wang Jun's power has expanded.

But Wang Jun has been tossing around, and the final goal is to completely control the Northland, and at the same time hide part of his power so that it is difficult for the court to find out - the loyalty of those grassland tribes is just one of the forms of expression. From the court's point of view, These tribes are still independent, but only those who know the details will understand that the soldiers and horses of these tribes can also be mobilized by Wang Jun.

Moreover, no matter how powerful he was compared to the imperial court, at least compared to Chen Zhi's Daijun, he was absolutely powerful, at least that's what Su Liao thought.

"After a period of war, it is already rare for our Daijun to be able to ensure that it does not decline or become dilapidated. It is difficult to take advantage of the situation to grow. The real growth was actually achieved before the war. Just like what you are saying now, Lord." It was done by combining the forces of various families, but even so, it is still no match for the current Wang Jun, and can only be comparable to the military strength deployed by Wang Jun in Guangning County and Dai County. Moreover, this force of the Lord The strength will inevitably be weakened in the war in northern Xinjiang, and each family will have its own agenda, and it will become even more declining. However, after Wang Jun planned and controlled the grassland, his strength will increase, one will decline and the other will increase. When the time comes, we will only be in a greater position. among the disadvantages.”

Chen Zhi nodded and said: "I understand what you mean, it's for future affairs, but one thing you may not see is that even if I retreat and show respect, Wang Jun will let me go. If I take the initiative to restore order after the war, return soldiers to each family, and abolish my martial arts, Wang Jun will only think that I am weak and easy to bully, and there will be no other possibility."

Chen Zhi should be able to make such a judgment because he had already known Wang Jun's thoughts through origami.

"But don't worry, I am also making preparations in this regard. This paper mill, visitors from Luoyang, and even a ton of books are all preparing for this, but it is indeed not the time to be distracted yet."

When Su Liao heard what Chen Zhi said, he knew what he meant. He nodded in agreement without saying any more words.

Afterwards, Chen Zhi took Su Liao to where Wu Ding was outside.

He was also in Chenzhuang before, and after punishing Xiao Quan and several other servants who betrayed their master, he returned to the city and met with Ge Lu and others.

Now that he was leaving, he ignored the people sent by Wu Jie and went straight to the outside of the city.

But before leaving the city, the carriage stopped slightly and invited He Jing and others who were waiting there.

He Jing only brought one servant with him, so he boarded the carriage easily, which was regarded as traveling lightly.

In fact, after he received the news from Chen Zhi, many of the servants who followed him became confused. They were worried that Chen Zhi had invited him to the Hongmen Banquet. Some even advised him to bring more people to the banquet. But he was stunned by He Jing's rhetorical question——

"If Governor Chen really wants to do harm to me, then as long as I am still in Dai County, I will have no way to escape. What is the difference between bringing ten people with me and just one person? On the contrary, it will make people look down on me and think that I am so courageous. Small as a mouse.”

With this kind of thought, he was quite relaxed in front of Chen Zhi. When he got on the carriage and saw Su Liao's figure, he was just stunned for a moment and then smiled: "I have heard of Mr. Su's name a long time ago. No. It’s a pity that I haven’t been able to visit you. I didn’t expect to see you here. It’s really a blessing for me.”

Su Liao also said politely: "I have admired Mr. He's name for a long time."

He Jing laughed: "When you said that, I knew that I couldn't hide my identity, but since the prefect invited me to ride with him, I believe there must be some arrangement."

Su Liao's expression remained unchanged, but he became wary in his heart. He felt that He Jing must have seen that Chen Zhi had suddenly gathered most of Dai Jun's military force, and had other thoughts, so he had to be on guard.

In the strange thoughts of the two people, the carriage drove slowly, left the city, and arrived outside Chenzhuang.

This Chenzhuang is actually half a Wubao, but the wall has not yet been built. Because it is a recent construction, a large part of it has not been completed, and many helpers are busy inside.

However, just from the completed parts, He Jing could see the strict laws and regulations. He knew that they were carefully arranged to echo the military strategists' intentions and contained many thoughts, so he couldn't help but pay attention to them.

He had also heard about it and knew that the layout of Chenzhuang was actually based on Chen Zhi's plan, so he wanted to explore it.

However, to his disappointment, the carriage did not stay in this part for long and went straight to where the soldiers gathered behind.

This area was specially set aside for troops to garrison. It was a part that Chen Zhi had already decided on before the establishment of Chenzhuang. At this time, it was already overcrowded, but if you look around, you can find that it is divided into several camps. , some people in the lead stand at the forefront, confronting each other faintly, and can clearly see the dissatisfaction and arguing taste on the faces of these people.

"This is discord in the military. That's right. People from so many different families gather together, each with a different brand. There may be conflicts among the families behind them. Plus, with the instigation of thoughtful people, if there is no problem, then there will be a problem. It's just that I wonder how Chen Zhi will deal with it?" He Jing thought, and noticed that after Chen Zhi arrived, these people obviously suppressed their emotions and maintained restraint. He thought to himself, there is still a lot of respect and inferiority in the Central Plains. Although it is useful, at least it is very effective when used to control the scene.

As he was thinking about this, he saw Chen Zhi walking forward.

Su Liao followed closely behind, whispering beside him, as if making a move.

Chen Zhize just shook his head and said: "Time is limited, and things must be urgent. At this time, everything must be direct. I have a simpler way. I have to cut through the mess quickly."

………………

"That one is Taishou Chen, he looks really young, maybe less than twenty."

Among the crowd in the distance, several people were gathering together, and one of them, a tall but thin man, was muttering.

This man's name was Jiang Yang. He was a tenant from the Tang family. He had a lot of strength and was selected to become a martial artist. But before he could practice, he caught up with Chen Zhi and was sent over directly.

He was muttering in a low voice, while two other people were listening.

They were not far from the leaders, but they were among the crowd and did not attract attention. Many of them spoke without hesitation.

As soon as the tall man said this, a short, slightly fat companion laughed and said: "You are mistaken. The eunuch comes from a wealthy family. He has lived in fine clothes since he was a child. How can he be the same as the rest of us who are miserable? Look at it. He is thin-skinned and tender, but he is a high-ranking official like the prefect, and his reputation is spread all over the world. People come all the way from Luoyang to visit him, so he must be quite old. I estimate that he must be more than 30 years old no matter what. Alright."

This man is from Jiang Yang's hometown and village, but his family has some wealth. His name is Wang Niu. Next to Wang Niu, there is another man named Jiang Xi. He does not look old, about fifteen or sixteen years old. , was still in school in later generations, but in this era, he was already the main young man in the family.

After hearing what Wang Niu said, he couldn't help but exclaimed.

These three people have a close relationship and come from the same place. Therefore, when they are close, they all act together. Now that they suddenly came to a relatively unfamiliar place, they instinctively cling together, so the relationship between the three of them has become close again. For a few minutes, there was almost nothing left to talk about.

"What happened this time is actually the fault of the prefect." Jiang Yang suddenly waved his hand, motioning for the two of them to come closer. "Look, he suddenly wanted to gather the martial arts from these families, but he made us do it like this." Standing under the hot sun, is there nothing wrong with this? I heard that several slaves in the Chen family were punished like this for betraying their masters. We came here to help him, and we even got it in the sun, can we? Are you angry? That's why the leaders came forward."

"That's right." Wang Niu nodded, with a look of lingering fear on his face, and looked at his two arms, "I'm tanned now, even my skin is peeling. I heard that the Liu family A few more servants were simply exposed to the sun, and some were unconscious on the spot. Do you think they are amazing or not?"

Jiang Yang added: "Isn't it? It's such a hot day, and the anger is already strong. It's been exposed to the sun for a long time, and it's easy to burn at one point. On the surface, it seems that several families are at odds, but in fact they are dissatisfied with the prefect. I really think so. I know how to deal with this prefect."

After listening to the words of the two friends, the young man Jiang Xi also became curious. He looked towards where Chen Zhi was and saw that the eunuch had summoned several servants who were leading the family and were talking. From these servants Surprise and surprise can be seen on the leader's face.

"Why do these people have this expression? Then what did Chen Zhi say?"

Just when the three friends were confused, the crowd in front suddenly broke out into an uproar, and then many people whispered to each other. When Jiang Yang and Wang Niu saw it, they knew that the crowd in front had got the news, and hurriedly went to find someone they knew. Inquire for information.

The two of them were also dumbfounded by this question.

"You actually want to invite these leaders to have tea?"

The three looked at each other.

At the same time, the news of Chen Zhi's refusal to visit also reached Wu Jie's ears, which made him furious. Then he heard about the servant, and he was overjoyed.

"Well, Chen Zhi, it doesn't matter if you are shameless, I just want to take this opportunity to let you know how powerful I am!"
