The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 470 The Power of the Second Knife

Lu Zhi's submission was within Lin Chao's expectation.

Without him, because Lin Chao gave... too much.

First of all, you, Lu Zhi, can continue to maintain your reputation as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty without being a puppet.

Furthermore, the position of state pastor is enough to make you a prince.

The last point is also the most crucial point. Since you have already guessed Liu Bei's ultimate goal, you should also be able to guess what kind of treatment you will enjoy after Liu Bei ascends the throne in the future.

The teacher of the emperor is naturally the Taifu!

Although the official position of Tai Tuo is more honorable than practical, it is ranked among the Shanggong after all, even more noble than the Sangong and the Great General.In the era when there was no prime minister, Taifu was the pinnacle that a minister could achieve.

With these few conditions, Lu Zhi, who was thinking about fame and official career, naturally would not have any objections.

Of course, if he had no intention of official career, he would never have come from Youzhou.

Although Lin Chao sincerely regards Lu Zhi as an elder, and Liu Bei is indeed Lu Zhi's apprentice, the reality is cruel.Once entering into power disputes, it is always necessary to have the same interests to form a common goal.

Pure friendship is easily influenced by worldly affairs, Lin Chao understands this truth, and so does Lu Zhi.

As for Liu Bei... in his position, it would be better if he didn't understand.

Smart people are better at maintaining friendships because of common interests.

Just like right now, after Lin Chao finished speaking in tears, although Lu Zhi lamented Lin Chao's shamelessness in his heart, his eyes were full of emotion.

"Zichu, Xuande was different from ordinary people when he was young, and he was born with an extraordinary appearance. Now he is indeed a pillar of the great man, and he is not in vain of some teachings in the past..."

The more Lu Zhi talked, the more moved he was, and even cried together with Lin Chao.

Cai Yong watched the two film kings, one old and one young, perform in front of him, not only did he not feel fluctuated in his heart, he even wanted to laugh.

However, Lin Chao's next sentence made him unable to laugh.

Old man Cai, the marriage between your daughter and Duke Xuande has been cancelled.

Why do you say?

Because Duke Xuande wants to marry my sister!

Although Lin Chao said it very euphemistically, Cai Yong blushed with embarrassment immediately after hearing it.

Lin Zichu, you are too deceitful!
It was you who proposed marriage to the old man at the beginning, and it was not the old man who insisted on marrying his daughter to Liu Xuande.

You are the one who proposes marriage, and you are the one who regrets the marriage. You can't be too shameless!
Lin Chao spread his hands, and while telling Cai Yong the whole story, he also expressed his innocence.

This is Xuandegong's decision, if you don't accept it, go find him!
Besides, your daughter is not a fuel-efficient lamp.A certain man has made countless money and thinks he is proficient in the art of man-hunting, but unexpectedly one day the boat will capsize in the gutter and fall into the hands of your daughter, so he is forced to agree to a condition.

Old man Cai, do you know how ridiculous that condition is!
Of course Cai Yong didn't know, and didn't want to know.

He only had one attitude, and that was to ask Lin Chao to give an explanation, otherwise, where would he put his old face.

The old man doesn't say that he is as famous as your teacher Zheng Kangcheng, at least there won't be too much difference.Now that her daughter has been divorced, how can she see others in the future!

Lin Jianjun said, if it is not easy to see people, then cover your face, what a big deal!

As for responsibility, it doesn't exist.

The quarrel between the two became more and more intense, and Lu Zhi couldn't stop it.In the end, Lin Chao took a step back, expressing that he would personally find a good match for Cai Yan in the future, so Cai Yong gave up.

Lin Jianjun suffered a loss from Cai Yan, and was entangled by his father Cai Yong. He was unwilling to reconcile, so he put forward his own conditions.

It's natural to help your daughter find a good home, but old man Cai, you still have to help me with something.

Hearing this, Cai Yong was stunned for a moment, and then became furious again.

Lin Zichu, it took me several months to bring Lu Zigan here, and now you have my feet on the ground, yet you asked me to do something again.

You are deliberately trying to get me, my old bones, to die on the road.

But Lin Chao said that this time he just went to Guangling County to find someone, and the journey was not far away.If all goes well, you will still be able to return to Tan County before the start of school in Xuzhou Academy.

And I guarantee that after you return to Tan County, you can give lectures with peace of mind and enjoy the rest of your life.

Cai Yong was dubious and asked who to look for.

Lin Chao smiled slightly, and spit out five words—Nanyang Xu Zijiang!

Yuedan commented on this thing, it's time to reopen it.

……

In another station in Nancheng County.

Zhuge Liang and Yang Xiuxiu were discussing something, but the process was not harmonious, which can be seen from the expressions on their faces.

Yang Xiu argued hard, spit Zhuge Liang's face.But Zhuge Liang frowned and thought hard, trying to persuade Yang Xiu to follow his point of view.

The two of you come and go, and the fight is very lively.

Beside them, Wei Yan, Chen Dao, and Guan Ping, under the leadership of Zhang Xiu, ate and drank by themselves, acting as if they had nothing to do with them.

Since Qu County and his party, Zhang Xiu was kept by Lin Chao to protect Zhuge Liang and his party.

The two fought for a long time, until Zhang Xiu and the others had eaten and drank enough, they still could not reach a result.

Zhang Xiu hiccupped, stood up and patted his stomach, and smiled to the people beside him: "Let them continue to discuss, let's go back to sleep for a while, and wait until they come to a conclusion."

As soon as this remark came out, Wei Yan and the other three immediately agreed and turned around to leave.

In this regard, Zhuge Liang and Yang Xiu regarded them as air, and didn't care about their stay or stay.

"Brother Dezu, before leaving, the teacher once said that the purpose of this trip to understand the people's sentiments is to make the New Deal better. It seems that your attitude of appeasement and nurturing is not in line with the teacher's original intention."

Yang Xiu disagreed with Zhuge Liang's opinion, arguing: "No, I don't agree with Kong Ming's words. Given the current situation, Chang Shi will definitely not kill them all. Besides, not all people in the family are villains. If Kong Ming you If the punishment is too heavy, I may lose the original intention of Chang Shi, please think again."

Lin Chao thought about it when he set off from Qu County.

Since the first knife was slashed on Liu Bei's Yuan Cong Jiubu, the second knife must be slashed on the locals.

Zhuge Liang and Yang Xiu also agree with this.

It's just how the knife cuts and how heavy the cut is, still pay attention to a certain strength.

The strike is too light to achieve a deterrent effect.

Small hands that are too heavy will cause a large-scale backlash from the aristocratic family, which may lead to the destruction of the New Deal.

The two had been arguing for two full days about the strength of the knife, but neither of them convinced the other.

Yang Xiu advocated that deterrence should be the main priority, while appeasement should be the second, and the strategy of punishing the heart should be adopted.

Its main purpose is to make the aristocratic family obedient and become the backbone of the Xuzhou Group.As for the mistakes they made this time, they naturally lifted them up high and put them down gently, so that they could take it to heart.

After all, Yang Xiu was born in the Hongnong Yang family, and he is also a behemoth with four generations and three fathers.In his opinion, the rich and powerful families in this world are of positive significance to the rule of the big man, and cannot be cut across the board.

With the ability of Lin Changshi, it is impossible not to know that whether he wants to pacify the world or govern the region, he must rely on these aristocratic families.

Zhuge Liang, on the other hand, advocated that punishment should be the main priority, and deterrence should be the supplement, and he would kill people.

Everything he has seen in Qu County tells Zhuge Liang that if a person with power is unscrupulous, it will be a disaster for the people around him!
Killing the chief culprit by means of thunder will naturally shock the hearts of the people and force others not to do evil, so that the people will be able to rest and recuperate, achieving the effect of nurturing the people from the source.

That's why he felt that what Yang Xiu did was appeasement.

Both of them thought that what they did was the most in line with Lin Chao's wishes, so they kept arguing.

"Kong Ming, if you use thunderous tactics, once you cause a backlash, how will you end up?"

Zhuge Liang said sternly: "A certain person is dealt with according to the law, and the rewards and punishments are clearly defined. How could it cause a backlash?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiu smiled wryly and remained silent.

He wanted to lament Zhuge Liang's innocence, but admired Zhuge Liang's stubbornness.

"If you don't want to do this, I have nothing to say. But General Zilong is currently fighting in Jizhou, and Mount Tai is where the supply of [-] troops is located. If you make a mistake, have you thought about the consequences?"

"This……"

When mentioning Zhao Yun's army fighting ahead, Zhuge Liang's eyebrows showed hesitation for the first time.

As Yang Xiu said, at this time Taishan County, there can be no trouble at all.

After a long silence, Zhuge Liang said: "Brother Dezu, this matter is not trivial, please allow me to think twice."

Yang Xiu nodded. He knew that his words were still effective, so he stopped urging him and just retreated.

Zhuge Liang was the only one left in the room, but he still frowned, and began to recall Lin Chao's words and deeds in his mind these days, trying to find a way to break the situation.

After thinking for a while, a picture flashed in Zhuge Liang's mind like lightning and flint, and then he muttered to himself:

"The teacher said that many complicated things in this world seem to be unsolvable, but if you get rid of the surface... there are only four words at its core, conflicts of interests..."

Having said that, Zhuge Liang's brows instantly relaxed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I understand."

　I wanted to do another update, but think about the end of the month, let's take a break first, and work hard next month!
　　Well, it's still five shifts in arrears.
