Chapter 348: Xiliang Army, it’s time to withdraw~
'You shameless~~~'

Wang Yun cursed in his heart, "I already said she was my adopted daughter, you just gave her away as an ordinary singing girl?"

"I want to use her to alienate you from the thief Dong."

"What's wrong?" Chen Ran took the initiative, his eyes slightly cold, "Is Situ not keeping his word? Or is he playing a trick on me?"

How could Wang Yun’s little thoughts be hidden from Chen Ran?

But I just don't give him this opportunity, I just squeeze him first.

Chen Ran did not think highly of Wang Yun. He thought that Wang Yun was a conceited man with mediocre abilities. Although he was scheming, he lacked the magnanimity to tolerate others. This ultimately led to the deterioration of a very good situation and destroyed the last chance for the revival of the Han Dynasty.

And now that Wang Yun wants to cheat me, of course I have to pay him back.

"This." Wang Yun felt a little uncomfortable. After all, Chen Ran's gaze was too oppressive.

He reluctantly explained "little woman"

"You said she admired me and even came to dance for me." Chen Ran's expression deepened. "Could it be that you and your daughter teamed up to deceive me?"

"General, you misunderstood." Wang Yun waved his hands repeatedly, "It's not like that, it's just..."

Chen Ran simply stood up and said, "I want to meet Diao Chan in my own house tonight, otherwise you will be bullying me. You can do whatever you want."

After saying that, he walked out decisively.

Wang Yun's complexion was wonderful and colorful.

"Everyone get out!"

Seeing that all the musicians, servants and dancers were staring at him, Wang Yun, who was furious and humiliated, could only express his impotent rage at these people.

The servants fled in panic, only Diao Chan slowly came to Wang Yun and squatted down, "Father~~~"

"Go back and pack your things." Wang Yun's face had turned cold at this moment, no longer showing the friendly expression he had when he adopted her as his adopted daughter. "I'll send you to the general's mansion later."

Diao Chan is not stupid, on the contrary she is very smart.

Just by looking at Wang Yun's expression and listening to the tone of his words, I understood.

Although he said he adopted her as his adopted daughter, he actually still treated her as a singing girl who could be given away at any time.

Thinking of this, she was sad, stood up, bowed and left. "My daughter is gone."

Wang Yun didn't care about Diao Chan's departure, as he had many beautiful singers in his house.

"Chen Zihou is too cunning. Could it be that he has seen through my mind? Well, I won't look for him anymore. I will find an outstanding girl among the singing girls to be my adopted daughter. If someone else comes again, I don't believe that I can't do it!"

When Diao Chan was taken to the general's mansion arranged by Dong Zhuo for Chen Ran by carriage, she was still a little nervous.

After all, the warriors of this era always give people the impression of being rude and tyrannical.

She was afraid that if she offended General Chen accidentally, she would be punished and sent away, or even lose her life.
Fortunately, Chen Ran never bothered to show his arrogance by bullying women, and he was quite considerate when he gave his son a beating at night.

Even with her years of dancing experience, it was still difficult for her to put her body back together afterwards.
The spy arranged by Li Ru in the mansion naturally reported the matter to Li Ru.

Li Ru didn't care about this.

It was normal in that era for the powerful and wealthy to feast each other and give singing girls to each other as gifts. It was not a big deal at all.

Correspondingly, Wang Yun later hosted a banquet for Lu Bu and gave him singing girls and other things as a gift. Li Ru just read the news and forgot about it.

No one had any idea that a huge conspiracy against the Xiliang army was brewing.

Chen Ran stayed in Chang'an City for more than half a month, attending banquets and visits from various parties, getting his own benefits, and then saying goodbye and leaving.

Now he is no longer a little brother who follows Dong Zhuo for a living. He has his own army and territory and has become a local lord.

The Xiliang army was also on guard. At least Niu Fu's army had been stationed in the Hongnong area, obviously on guard against Chen Ran.

"What's the point of staring at me?" After passing through Hongnong and visiting Niu Fu for a banquet, Chen Ran got on the carriage back to Luoyang. "A strong fortress is always breached from the inside."

Diao Chan, who was serving on the side, blinked her eyes, not knowing what was going on.

Chen Ran would not explain anything to her. It would be better for this woman not to get involved in such a turbulent fight.

"Come on." Chen Ran spread his legs and greeted them, "The journey is long, let's play some interesting games."

The Guanzhong area was temporarily quiet. After all, Dong Zhuo had lost his ambition and began to enjoy life without any enterprising spirit.

Chen Ran was training his troops while collecting food and fodder at the military settlement. He was also waiting for an opportunity for civil strife in the Xiliang army and did not launch a new offensive.

On the contrary, the heroes in Guanzhong were constantly in conflict and war.

Yuan Shao used the power of the Yuan family to easily take over Jizhou, and the richest and most populous places in the world fell into his hands.

Gongsun Zan felt tremendous pressure, and the atmosphere on both sides gradually became tense.

Cao Cao stayed in the territory of his good friend Zhang Miao, recruited soldiers and expanded his strength, and made plans to attack the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.

The other princes were also constantly fighting against each other, with wars raging.

Among these, what Chen Ran was more concerned about was that Sun Jian, who failed to find the jade seal, was not ambushed by Liu Biao, and successfully returned to Changsha and began to attack from all sides to fight for territory.

Sun Jian did not die, but Yuan Shu died instead.

The land of Jiangdong is even more chaotic than in the original book.

"Second brother, hurry up, I can't wait to expand."

After returning to Luoyang City, Jia Xu, who stayed behind, gave him a surprise right away.

"My lord." Jia Xu, who rarely smiled, came forward holding a beautiful box and said, "Found it!"

Chen Ran immediately showed joy on his face and took the box. "Immortal Seal?"

There are actually many kinds of imperial seals, and every emperor has his own personal imperial seal.

However, there is only one piece that is recognized by the world, and that is the imperial seal made of the legendary He Shi Bi.

With the imperial seal, even people like Yuan Shu would be recorded as "collapsed" in history books after their death!
Although Chen Ran has traveled through so many eras, this is the first time he has seen the imperial seal. When he opened the box, he saw a beautifully crafted imperial seal.

When I picked it up to play with it, I saw eight insect-and-bird seal characters "受命于天既寿永昌" carved in small seal script on the front.

This is the emperor’s token!

Apart from the Nine Cauldrons, the Emperor's Sword and other legendary items, this jade seal is the most precious cultural relic in Middle-earth, bar none.

Even Chen Ran, who had experienced countless things, had his eyes constantly changing as he held the jade seal in his hand.

It took a while before I calmed down.

Returning to the study, Chen Ran immediately called the system, "Let's have a discussion."

"explain."

"Can I use the reward from this mission world to exchange for this jade seal?"

"This is just a piece of jade carving. The same one in the system mall only costs a few dozen points. Why would you do something that would lose money?"

Facing the system's confusion, Chen Ran laughed and said, "You don't understand. This is the sentiment of the people of Middle-earth. Those in the mall are all fakes."

The system immediately objected, "Absolutely impossible. All the products in the mall are absolutely authentic. Once you buy them and take them out, even the atomic arrangement is exactly the same!"

Chen Ran laughed even louder. "You are only talking about the material things. I am talking about the cultural beliefs attached to them. You don't understand."

The material of the imperial seal is indeed just a piece of jade.

But the problem is that the cultural value attached to it is incomparable to any other piece of jade.

"Just say it's okay!"

"Since you are willing to lose money, it's up to you."

"Hahahaha~~~" Chen Ran laughed, put away the jade seal, turned around and went straight to Cai Yan's room.

He is so happy today, he wants to celebrate well and celebrate with all his might!
Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, Chen Ran was checking the growth of crops in the military fields outside Luoyang City.

The biggest gain from clearing out the aristocratic families and local tyrants was not the mountains of food and property, but the vast tracts of land and the large number of people who were forced to become serfs.

Fields are the most important means of production in the agricultural era.

And human beings are the most important existence in the world.

Chen Ran directly implemented the strategy of mobilizing every citizen into a military unit and turned all the fields into military settlements.

The people of Qian are farmers on weekdays and they concentrate on training during the slack season.

Once war breaks out, they can be assembled into a large army.

This is not the model of the late Han Dynasty, but a retro military routine of the Qin and Han dynasties.

The country is the army, and the army is the country!

"The fields cannot survive without water." Chen Ran instructed the people around him who were in charge of managing the military farms, "Water conservancy is extremely important. We must ensure the water supply during the growth period of the seedlings."

"We can't just rely on God. When a severe drought strikes, water conservancy facilities are the key to saving lives."

"During the slack season, in addition to military training, we also need to mobilize manpower to build water conservancy facilities."

While Chen Ran was giving instructions, a messenger came riding at full speed.

Everyone hurriedly made way, and soon the fast horse came galloping in front of Chen Ran, dismounted, took out a letter and handed it to him.

He took the letter and opened it. It was a letter written to him by Jia Xu.

There was only one vertical line of words on it: 'Dong Zhuo died, Chang'an was in chaos!'

"It finally begins."

Dong Zhuo was too arrogant and felt that he could control everything inside and outside the city of Chang'an.

Little did he know that while he was hiding in Meiwu and enjoying himself, a force targeting him had already formed in Chang'an City.

They successfully persuaded Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo's adopted son and personal bodyguard, to join the rebellion.

Afterwards, she successfully tricked Dong Zhuo into the palace and killed him on the pretext of asking him to replace the Han Dynasty.

After Dong Zhuo's death, the Xiliang army suddenly fell into chaos without a leader.

Lu Bu and Huangfu Song led their troops to defeat the Western Liang army inside and outside Chang'an City. Huangfu Song even broke through Meiwu and killed all the members of the Dong family.

In fact, the strength of the Xiliang Army is still there and it has not suffered too much damage.

But most of them are stationed outside the country.

For example, Niu Fu was stationed in Hongnong, and Zhang Ji was stationed in Wancheng and other places.

On the contrary, there are not many troops around Chang'an City.

This gave the rebels an opportunity to succeed.

This time, without Jia Xu's advice, the panicked Xiliang army failed to counterattack Chang'an City. Instead, they fled in disarray, most of them heading towards their hometown in Liangzhou.

When Chen Ran returned to Luoyang City, more news had arrived.

"My lord." Jia Xu stepped forward and said happily, "The news from Hongnong is that Niu Fu's troops mutinied and fled, and even Niu Fu was killed by his subordinates."

Niu Fu was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and under his command was the most important and most legitimate troop of the Xiliang Army.

The collapse of this army meant that the obstacle blocking Chen Ran from going to Chang'an City had completely disappeared.

"My lord," Jia Xu said again, "his subordinates Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji and others have sent envoys to come here, willing to submit to my lord."

Chen Ran smiled and said quietly, "Xiliang Army, it's time to withdraw."
