Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 886 Three talents observe the rise and fall, and one state knows the victory or defeat.
"What a great fortune for the country! What a great foundation for the state and county!"

While the people from big and small families in Youzhou City were desperately trying to please Chen Zhi, Chen Zhi's heart had already flown to the fortified city in front of him!
Ordinary people, if they look at this city, can only see high walls and thickness, but in Chen Zhi's eyes, this city is boiling with luck, like a burning fire cooking oil, and boiling water in a pot, rolling endlessly!

Even at the end, in order to watch carefully, he had to temporarily stop comforting and interacting with the people of the aristocratic family, and asked Yang Yuan to do it for him, while he stood in one place and looked carefully.

Youzhou City, the capital of Fanyang County.

But Youzhou got its name from this place.

"Youzhou City, also known as Zhuoxian County, has a long history and has produced many outstanding figures in the past. The Taoyuan friendship in the novel may all come from the city. It inherits Mo's great fortune and is now one of the foundations of the Lu family. It can be said that it is the foundation of the Lu family. It is a spiritual place, not to mention that it is located at a strategic point, and it is one of the two pillar nodes of Wang Jun's current rule of Youzhou. It carries the prosperity of Fanyang County and is a real important city that involves strategic security."

After watching for a while, Chen Zhi's expression gradually became serious.

"This time, Wang Jun conquered Dai and raised three armies. The core of the southern route is this city. He is personally stationed in the city to suppress the thoughts of soldiers and generals. If he wants to restrain the soldiers and horses, if I don't act quickly enough and have all the preparations, With the help of the twelve zodiac origami, as well as the right people and the right location, once Wang Jun was allowed to stand firm here and stabilize the destiny of the Western Expedition, and then calmly command and mobilize, it would be like the flood before the flood, all the ditches were covered. Once it is built, when the water reaches it, the water will follow the movement of the canal and gather momentum to fall, making it difficult to resist!"

Looking at the luck in the city, Chen Zhi deeply felt an indescribable and huge trend. At the same time, this trend of luck was slowly changing. It had an inexplicable connection with himself and even radiated to the barracks behind him. In an instant, Chen Zhi suddenly realized something.

"So it is, so it is!"

This strange connection made Chen Zhi stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly understood. His eyes fell from the city to the crowd in front of the city.

"The luck of this city is divided into three parts: good weather, three parts favorable geographical location, and another third part due to people's harmony."

"The weather depends on the general trend of the world. If the world is in chaos and the nomads are raging in the north, then the city's defense responsibility will rise three-thirds of the time and become important. On the contrary, if it is a time of peace and prosperity and this city is located on the border, If we stay away from the bathing of humanity, we will suffer decline, wealth will be lost, and talents will migrate south.”

"The geographical advantage is that this place connects the hinterland of the Central Plains with the grassland and desert, and merchants and military strategists cannot avoid it. Even now, Jizhou is in chaos, and this city also has the intention of guarding and intimidating, so the luck has greatly increased. On the contrary, it will attenuate.”

"As for harmony, it's the people in this city. With families like the Lu family and the Kuai family here, they are lucky. They have a monopoly on knowledge and can cultivate literati, and if they have a lot of wealth, they can cultivate military men. This combination of civil and military skills Next, it’s family luck, but now that papermaking and printing are spreading in the North under my promotion, more and more children from poor families will have access to knowledge, and the luck of humanity will expand."

"With the combination of heaven, earth and man, the luck here is naturally strong. However, when I first came here, I didn't notice it immediately. No doubt it was because the people in the city still had other thoughts and wanted to sit on the wall and wait and see, but when I saw the king Jun was imprisoned and knew that the situation had changed, so he changed his mind and really wanted to take refuge. However, people from aristocratic families like them were actually the ones who really controlled the fate of Youzhou City. Their food, clothing, housing, transportation, and everything else were controlled by these people. Infiltration and control, if I want to truly seize it, I must either expel them, clean them thoroughly, and replace them with my own people, or obtain the cooperation of these people and gather the aristocratic families. Now that they are thinking, luck will appear in the city, and My military strength is consistent! From this point of view, in order to suppress the important towns in the city, we have to use military strategists first!" Thinking like this, he felt that as the city's fortune boiled and the family's hearts fluctuated, the city's fortune gradually became consistent with his own. , knowing that once the acceptance and integration are completed, it will be equivalent to taking control of this city.

"However, I can't wait for this to happen slowly, because luck cannot change the city's tendency, but is just an indicator. It is because the city's tendency has changed that luck matches me. The reason for the slowness is actually the fact that the aristocratic families in the city , the expression of the people's sense of belonging, when they all feel that they are the people under my rule, and feel that it is natural for me to issue orders, collect taxes and grant taxes, they will naturally agree with me. But if I speed up, dispatch people, and slowly place them in If control is strengthened throughout the city, the speed can actually be increased. In addition..."

Vaguely, Chen Zhi clearly felt that the city's luck was passing through him and slowly radiating to the surrounding barracks, like strands of drizzle, slowly falling into it, which made him think deeply.

"Not long ago, I was thinking about whether this luck has any practical use besides helping me detect the situation and understand the progress. After all, I cannot directly change the luck and thus change reality. I can only change the situation by changing the situation. Letting luck change, it seems like a useless thing. It doesn't seem to be worth the price of a sign, let alone the strange copper plate. Now it seems that this way of luck can not only make me and the civil and military officials under my command feel... The connection seems to be able to affect the soldiers in the army, but the specific effect is difficult to detect for the time being. We will have to wait and slowly explore it later."

Thinking like this, he collected the fame gold liquid, the visions in his eyes calmed down, and then entered Youzhou City under the guidance of Yang Yuan.

The streets in the city were empty and deserted.

"The war came suddenly, but no one could leave the city. They all hid at home, but it ended quickly. Therefore, the city was not damaged much, only a few mansions were damaged." Yang Yuan introduced the situation in the city and said Then, the achievements of Wei Mian and others were mentioned.

Chen Zhi greatly appreciated it and even said: "The success of this battle with very little damage to our army was due to Wei Mian and the spies who had lurked in advance. Without them taking risks, even if we could get to this city, we would have to injure many soldiers and horses. If you want to subjugate all parts of Youzhou, you will be in trouble. One bad move may cause Youzhou to fall apart like Jizhou, giving others opportunities to take advantage of. These warriors must be heavily rewarded!"

Yang Yuan nodded in agreement and kept it in mind.

"Now that Youzhou has been conquered and Wang Jun is imprisoned, we have the upper hand and can plan for great righteousness. With Wang Jun in hand and many of his generals, we can send orders to everyone in Youzhou to submit to them. , but there must be obstacles, and it will take some time to truly unify. For the time being, I don’t have the mind to pay attention to the surrounding situation." Chen Zhi said this, narrowing his eyes, "But the people around him will definitely not be peaceful. We need to take action, and we must be prepared to deal with it in advance.”

Yang Yuan still said yes.

But Ran Zhan couldn't help but laugh and said: "Master, we will capture Wang Jun alive in a few days and take Youzhou City. This huge Youzhou must be ours. In fact, I am more curious about the surrounding forces and even the princes in the court. At this moment, I am afraid that I have just learned about the war in Youzhou and am trying to formulate countermeasures. What would my expression be like if I suddenly heard that Wang Jun was captured?" His face showed curiosity and excitement, and even a hint of pride.
