Chapter 584

Naturally, Lin Chao would not accept Zang Ba's kindness and go to sleep with Yin Li's two so-called younger sisters.

It's just that since Zang Ba had sent the two beautiful girls into Liu Bei's tent, Lin Chao couldn't force them out.

After all, a small group like Zang Ba, who brought capital into the group, is currently the most insecure time.If Liu Bei uses these two girls tonight, Zang Ba can rest assured.

It's just that there is something wrong with the fact that there are women in the army.

After refusing Zang Ba's request to give him a woman, Lin Chao took out a folding fan and played with it in his hand, but said with a smile: "General Zang, now he is the captain of the Taiwei, but he also serves as the supervisor of the army. I know a thing or two about the prohibitions and punishments in the army. In the future, when marching and fighting, the general should not bring female family members into the army, lest others gossip.

Tan County, the seat of my Xuzhou government, can also be regarded as a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers and a rich life.General Zang might as well place his family in Tan County, isn't it safer than fighting with the general on the battlefield? "

Although Lin Chao's words were tactful, he still slapped Zang Ba.

Since you have entered the Xuzhou camp, you must abide by Xuzhou's rules from now on.

I won't pursue it this time, but if this kind of thing happens again in the future, don't blame me for punishing it.

Of course, there is another meaning in Lin Chao's words, that is, you, Zang Ba, have to submit another nomination certificate—hurry up and send your family members to Tan County, and I will settle them properly for you.

You voluntarily surrendered. Not only did I, Xuzhou, not deprive you of your military power, but I also entrusted you with a heavy responsibility. It can be said that I am worthy of you.

It is also reasonable for you to send your family members to Tan County out of reciprocity, or to make Xuzhou feel at ease with you.

It's not that Lin Chao likes to blackmail others, it's just that it takes time to see people's hearts.This approach is the most stable structure when the two parties have not yet formed an inherent trust.

As long as you Zang Ba does not rebel, your family will enjoy wealth and honor forever in Xuzhou.

Zang Ba is also a smart man. After listening to Lin Chao's words, he pondered for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your teaching, Chang Shi. At the end, I will send all the family members of the brothers and sisters in the general to Tan County tomorrow. I have to trouble Chang Shi to arrange it."

Lin Chao smiled, stretched out his folding fan and said, "Okay, General Zang is a smart man, so I will open the skylight and speak out. As long as the general helps Xuande Gong take Qingzhou, I will guarantee you a place in Xuzhou."

"Thank you, Chang Shi, for your appreciation!"

Zang Ba clasped his fists and bowed again.

……

In the military account.

After bidding farewell to Zang Ba, Lin Chao did not go to rest, but summoned Guo Jia and Jia Xu over, and finally asked Zhang Yun to guard outside the tent, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving.

"How, do you two have an idea about how to write the character 'Xiao'?"

Lin Chao looked at the two who had been paddling these days, and asked.

It’s okay not to mention this matter, but Guo Jia couldn’t help but roll his eyes when he mentioned it, and complained: “Zichu, it’s necessary to make it so complicated? With the status of the lord’s clan, coupled with our current territorial strength, It is the proper meaning to be named king, who dares to make irresponsible remarks?
Furthermore, even if you are persuaded to come in, you, Lin Zichu, should be the leader in Xuzhou, but why are you so timid? "

Up to now, Guo Jia still feels that Lin Chao is making a fuss out of a molehill.Moreover, Liu Bei would be more acceptable to persuade Lin Chao's identity and status.

After listening to Guo Jia's words, Lin Chao shook his head first, and then said with a smile: "Okay, then let's make things clearer. The title of king is naturally not a problem, the key is the title of King Xiao, which will inevitably be slandered by some people. Wolf ambition. More importantly, how to get Duke Xuande to accept this title calmly, after all, if there is a further opportunity in the future, Duke Xuande will recall the matter of becoming a king again..."

Hearing what Lin Chao said, Guo Jia's expression changed slightly.

That's right, if you just want to be king, then you can do whatever you want, even if you look ugly, as long as you can eat it in your mouth.

But if you want to go further in the future, then the process of persuading Jin to become king this time must be meticulous and silent.

Fighting for world hegemony is indeed a game of winners and losers, but you also have to take care of your face.

Lin Chao continued: "Furthermore, this time it's not that someone doesn't want to end in person, but that he can't."

"Why?"

Guo Jia asked with a frown.

He originally thought that Lin Chao just didn't want to get involved in such things, so he let himself and Jia Xu take the blame.

But listening to Lin Chaocai's tone, things are obviously not that simple.

Lin Chao shook his head and smiled. Just when he was about to speak, Jia Xu beside him stroked his beard and smiled, "But because we have other enemies to deal with?"

Hearing this, Lin Chao immediately gave Jia Xu a thumbs up.

"good."

"Who is the enemy?" Guo Jia still didn't understand. "Now that Yuan Shao is dead and Cao Cao has fled, Yuan Gonglu is the only enemy in the world.

Lin Chao shook his head and said: "No, now we have just killed Yuan Shao, the enemies outside will not move for the time being. But the enemies inside are the real problem."

This battle annexed Jizhou and Yanzhou. If all goes well, Qingzhou will also be included in Liu Bei's pocket soon.

In this way, most of the entire Central Plains is already in hand, and naturally no one can compete with it.

But the corresponding disadvantages will also be exposed.

In the three states except Xuzhou, those intertwined clan forces and middle-level organizations need to work hard to stitch them together.This is an obvious and time-consuming task, so naturally it will not be smooth sailing.

More importantly, after this war, there will be no major wars in the next few years.All the civil and military personnel in Xuzhou will devote themselves to the era of grassroots governance.

And Lin Chao also wanted to use this time to complete the reforms he wanted.

Such as opening a school, recruiting disciples, managing people's livelihood, and enlightening people's wisdom. If possible, Lin Chao even wanted to change the current examination system to the imperial examination system.

In the process of realizing these affairs, there are naturally many difficulties, and there will be countless opponents.

Therefore, in the next few years, Lin Chao will become a target, the target of all the world's aristocratic families.

Under such circumstances, if Lin Chao gets involved in persuading him again, if someone finds out, there will inevitably be twists and turns.

Those aristocratic families can naturally play with them slowly. If you don't make it twice once, you can make it three times if you don't make it twice...

However, the matter of Liu Bei becoming the king is imminent, and there can be no problems in the whole process. This is the reason why Lin Chao wants to hand over this matter to Guo Jia.

Lin Chao is being targeted in the open, while Guo Jia and Jia Xu will finish the matter in secret.

After listening to Lin Chao's explanation, Jia Xu twirled his beard again, his eyes showed thoughtfulness, and said slowly: "The New Deal in Xuzhou is a great blessing for the people. But for For those aristocratic families and clans, it was a great disaster.

There is a saying that the prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the world is full of hustle and bustle, all for profit.Since Zichu took charge of Xuzhou, he has always been decisive and merciless towards the aristocratic family. If they persecute too much now, they will inevitably form a group to check and balance, and even force the lord to deal with Zichu. "

Jia Xu was born in Xiliang since he was a child, and went to Beijing as a young man, and then went through the ups and downs of his career for decades, some things have already been seen clearly.

After hearing Jia Xu's analysis, Guo Jia immediately shook his head and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! Although the lord treats people generously, he has a strong temper. It is absolutely impossible for him to listen to slander and deal with Zichu. Those mediocre people only dare to hide their heads and show their tails. Manipulating power in the gutter, as long as you raise a knife and fall, you are like a pig butcher, how can the lord be at the mercy of such people!"

Guo Jia was right. With Liu Bei's temperament, he would naturally not be willing to be manipulated by these aristocratic families, and it was even more impossible to use any checks and balances at this time. Therefore, no matter how turbulent those aristocratic families were, they were just a bunch of clowns.

"Feng Xiao said, but I don't agree with it." Jia Xu shook his head and said, "If I really want to sacrifice the butcher knife, although it can kill a river of blood and kill those people like a chill, but once some things are out of proportion, the future It’s hard to make up for it.”

Guo Jia sneered and said: "Then don't make amends, and kill whoever refuses to accept it! Zichu's new policy is a good strategy for benefiting the country and the people. How can the people not know it? As long as the people's hearts are with me, what kind of waves can those rats in the gutter make?" ?”

"That being said, if you really break the rules, you will inevitably hurt the innocent. In the end, it is the common people who will suffer. If you really want to cut them all down with one knife, who will govern the people for the Lord? Only you and I can govern. These four states?"

Jia Xu smiled wryly: "Furthermore, with Zichu's talent, even if it is a power struggle, he may not lose to those people."

"No, it's better to kill directly, I don't believe that all of them have such hard bones!" Guo Jia said angrily, "We fought to the death in front of the battle, and the soldiers spilled blood on the battlefield. These bastards want to pick the fruits of victory, and they are not afraid to support themselves to death!"

As Liu Bei's power grows, some things cannot be entrusted to the military.Gradually, the struggle in the court will gradually appear.

If the aristocratic family criticizes the Lin Dynasty, it will inevitably be a power struggle, because it involves a series of invisible but crucial things such as the reputation among scholars and the popularity of the opposition.

At the same time that Lin Chao accepted the move, he could only delimit the scope of the battle on this point, and have a dignified power struggle.

If Lin Chao directly waved his hand and sent troops to kill all the families who attacked him, it would be a bit unreasonable.

This will not only lose the hearts of scholars in the world, but will even cause worse effects.

The initiator, there is no future?

If you, Lin Zichu, can disobey the rules today, then tomorrow others will be able to savagely break the situation as well.Over time, the rules will naturally cease to exist.

Lin Chao is in the light, and they are in the dark.Lin Chao is in power, and they are in the wild.

They attacked Lin Chao by playing within the rules, so you, Lin Zichu, as the maker of the rules, can only fight back in the same way.

And long before this battle, those Xuzhou families hated Lin Chao to the bone. Fortunately, although Lin Chao killed him, he didn't really kill them all. Torn skin.

But now we have the land of three states again. If Xuzhou’s New Deal and Lin Dynasty’s series of operations to dig out the foundation of the family are carried out, this will definitely cause a rebound from the nobles of the three states. At that time, those dormant Xuzhou families will also come out to show off their existence sense.

At that time, I'm afraid it will trigger a confrontation between Lin Zichu alone and the entire Kanto family, which is rare in ancient and modern times.

As for who wins and loses, it is still unknown.

"Ugh!"

Facing Jia Xu and Guo Jia's arguments, Lin Chao suddenly sighed.

It's not that he's not good at this kind of power struggle, it's just that he doesn't like it, or even hates it.

"Okay, there's no need to argue anymore."

Lin Chao first waved his hand, and then said to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, I have accepted your kindness, but there are some things that I have to do. Those people rush up to stir up trouble, and they turn around when they win, and they don't even need to pay for losing. life.

But we are different, in addition to the risk of winning or losing, we also have to bear the stability of the four states.It is precisely because this is the foundation that we have fought with swords and guns that we must know how to cherish it. "

Barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, this is the truth since ancient times.

After a pause, under Guo Jia's angry and helpless eyes, Lin Chao continued: "And after this battle, a certain should also decentralize the power in his hands, just take this opportunity to complete this step.

After this incident, it can't be said that...someone has to return to the village for a while. "

Hearing this, not only Guo Jia's face changed suddenly, but even Jia Xu couldn't sit still.

"Zi Chu, why are you here!"

Guo Jia lost his voice.

He thought that this fight was nothing more than Lin Chao and those aristocratic families showing their chariots and horses. Even if there was a concession in the end, with Lin Chao's character, he would definitely not suffer.

But never expected that Lin Chao would even say the four words "return to the village".

In an instant, Guo Jia realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Today's world is still dominated by aristocratic families. They are numerous and powerful. If they don't make concessions, it will be difficult for them to be kind in the end. As Wen He said, all of this cannot be messed up."

Lin Chao smiled and said, "However, the so-called resignation may not be the same as Feng Xiao's thinking. The short-term departure is to see a longer and farther view.

Going far away in the rivers and lakes, living in the height of the temple, what you think and see is nothing but the affairs of your family, country and world. "

Guo Jia still didn't quite understand, so he asked, "Isn't there a way to get the best of both worlds?"

Lin Chao spread his hands and said with a smile: "There has never been a strategy of achieving both in this world. The so-called strategy of achieving both is just a compromise. Just like you and I were in Jizhou at that time, and we entered Yecheng in order to quickly attack the city. At one time, he took money and food from the family and distributed it to the people, just to boost morale.

At that time, the knife was in someone's hand, so they naturally took it away.But now that the big event has been decided, do you think those people will attack a certain group? "

"This……"

Hearing this, Guo Jia was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Lin Chao waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't want to mention this anymore, I just wanted to tell you guys. I will return to Tan County soon to take charge of the post-war affairs. You are here to accompany Xuan De to fix Qingzhou, and by the way The matter of being king has been done."

After finishing speaking, Lin Chao got up, bowed his hands to Guo Jia and Jia Xu, and said with a smile, "Let's do our own duties and do our best.

The road ahead is long, let's encourage each other. "

 Can't make it in time, send it out first, and fix typos later.
