Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 110 Yan Li

"Young man, be temperate." In the early morning of the next day, Chen Gong, who was about to go back to Xiapi with Chu Nan and the others, glanced at Chu Nan, who had dark circles under his eyes, and said lightly.

Chu Nan's face was full of exhaustion now, but Lu Lingqi looked radiant. Her face was originally cold, but at this moment there was a dash of spring, making her even more radiant and attractive.

Chu Nan has a cheeky face and is directly immune to this kind of ridicule. On the contrary, Lu Lingqi, who seems to be indifferent to everything except fighting, can't help but blush a little at this moment when she hears this.

"Teacher, I went to Xuchang this time and won the position of state shepherd. Cao Cao's current situation will not do anything to Xuzhou for the time being. I think it's time to persuade my father-in-law to govern Xuzhou." Chu Nan didn't answer Chen Gong's words, but changed the topic Move away, Xuzhou's external environment has eased now, but this time is not long, no matter how many allies are at the time of life and death, they may not be willing to do their best for you, and in the end you have to be tough.

The next battle with Cao Cao may be a matter of life and death. Now Cao Cao is not easy to fight, and the situation on Lu Bu's side is actually not much better, just fighting for some financial rights.

The initiative has now passed to Lu Bu, but if Lu Bu remains the same as before, this battle will be difficult to fight.

"What's Ziyan's plan?" Chen Gong asked rhetorically.

"We don't have much time. Cao Cao will definitely try to conquer Xuzhou again. We have a one-year limit. We will first decide what to do in this year, and then try our best to achieve it." Chu Nan didn't know what would happen in the future , but his lifespan has not changed for a year. The reason for this is naturally Cao Cao, so this year he must do his best to tap the power that Xuzhou can tap to the extreme.

Moreover, Lu Bu also needs to have a clear plan for the future, and he can't just think about being in a safe place. This is not just Lu Bu's problem, so many people's lives and lives depend on Lu Bu.

"When I return to Xiapi this time, I do intend to discuss this matter with Marquis Wen. Since Ziyan also has this intention, after returning to Xiapi, you and I will go to see Marquis Wen together to discuss this matter."

Chu Nan nodded when he heard the words. After the analysis with Lu Bu last time, now Lu Bu has begun to gradually alienate the Chen family. Without the Chen family being around Lu Bu to influence Lu Bu's thoughts, things will become easier, but his father-in-law's temperament, alas ~
The whole journey was silent. In the afternoon, everyone had already arrived at Xiapi. After Chu Nan bid farewell to Zhang Liao, he and Lu Lingqi followed Chen Gong directly to the General's Mansion.

Aside from Lu Lingqi's visit to her mother, Chu Nan brought the official seal and edict with Chen Gongyi to meet Lu Bu.

In order to truly grasp Lu Bu's state of mind, Chu Nan activated the ability to listen to people's voices as soon as he entered the mansion.

"What happened? Why did Chen Deng win the position of Guangling prefect?" Lu Bu asked with a frown.

Chu Nan's complexion changed slightly, he heard Lu Bu's heartfelt voice.

"Chen Deng said that Cao Cao favored Ziyan's talent, so he kept him in Xuchang for a few days, as if he wanted to recruit him into Xuchang? Will Ziyan betray me? If not, why did Chen Deng come back, but he kept going?" Stay in Xuchang? If so, what should Lingqi do?"

"It's a long story, father-in-law might as well listen to me." Chu Nan calmed down the anger in his heart. His father-in-law is too easily influenced by outsiders' words, but it's okay, although he was angry, he didn't kill him In my own thoughts, he is really good to his family. It seems that my father-in-law still needs to be taught well, but he sighed on his face: "Then Cao Cao is quite cunning. When he sent his envoy to Xuzhou, he had already sent troops to Nanyang. After General Wen Yuan and I found out about this..."

Chu Nan told how they went to Nanyang to help Zhang Xiu defeat Cao Cao, and then returned to Xuchang to secretly contact Dong Cheng, and blackmailed Lao Cao. Not only did he get the official seal of Xuzhou Mu's edict, but he also prostituted a prefect of Xiapi for nothing.

The events of these days were told by Chu Nan with great emotion, Lu Bu clenched his fists from time to time, and finally sighed: "If I had known this, I would have gone to Xuchang myself."

If he went in person, Lao Cao might not have that life to return to Xuchang.

"Then why did Chen Deng get the prefect of Guangling?" Lu Bu asked with a frown, he was a little puzzled by this matter, obviously Chen Deng did not appear in this matter from the beginning to the end.

"I only heard from the eunuch when I received the edict that Cao Cao gave Chen Deng the position of prefect of Guangling. In my opinion, this is Cao Cao's plan to use Chen Deng's hand to split Xuzhou. When Cao Cao comes to attack in the future, Chen Deng will send troops from Guangling. , our army is in a situation where the enemy is in front of us." Chu Nan's face became serious, and he said in a deep voice.

"Why don't we get rid of them as soon as possible?" Lu Bu asked, looking at Chu Nan.

"I also have the same idea. I wonder what the teacher thinks?" Chu Nan looked at Chen Gong. Before that, Chen Gong might not be able to withstand Chen Gui and Chen Deng's father and son, but now that Chen Gong has advanced to the level of Confucianism and cooperates with Lu Bu, killing the Chen family's father and son should be enough up.

"Of course we have to get rid of it, but not at this time." Chen Gong nodded, and said coldly. It can be seen that after Chen Gong was promoted to a great scholar, his perspective on the problem changed. If it was in the past, Chen Gong would definitely not allow Lu Bu to kill celebrities Yes, even if he also dislikes the Chen family father and son.

"Why?" Chu Nan and Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong in confusion.

Chen Deng is already on the must-kill list in Chu Nan's mind. This is not only related to the possibility of stabbing a knife in the back in the decisive battle with Cao Cao in the future, but also related to the cooperation between Xuzhou and Jingzhou. At present, a preliminary deal has been reached. If Guangling is killed by the Chen family Occupy, the game that Chu Nan created may end up taking advantage of the Chen family, which Chu Nan cannot bear.

"If you kill the Chen family father and son at this time, the Xuzhou scholars will be in chaos. Wen Hou is still rejected by the Xuzhou nobles. If you keep the Chen family father and son, the enemy is at least in the clear, but if you kill the Chen family father and son, Xuzhou scholars may be at this time. I am afraid that Marquis Wen will be powerful and dare not resist, but if Marquis Wen sends troops in the future, as long as someone takes the lead in the rear, there will be chaos, Marquis Wen still remembers the time when Cao Cao almost lost Yanzhou?" Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu and said solemnly.

When Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou, it was the Yanzhou gentry who brought Lv Bu into Yanzhou and almost broke Cao Cao's roots. Naturally, Lu Bu remembered this and frowned, "But we can't let the Chen family just let it go, can we?"

"Of course I have to take care of it, but Marquis Wen needs to enrich himself first." Chen Gong laughed.

"Why?" Lu Bu asked puzzled.

"The soldiers under Marquis Wen's tent are brave. In terms of military strength, Marquis Wen is naturally not bad. However, governing the region requires a lot of talents. How many people around Marquis Wen can help Marquis Wen govern the region?" Chen Gong asked.

Lu Bu was silent, not counting those people who were in front of the county magistrate but did not agree with Lu Bu, the political talents and advisers that Lu Bu could use now were Chen Gong and Chu Nan, and the others were small fish and shrimps.

"Marquis Wen needs to cultivate his own strength first and lay a solid foundation. Only when there are enough people on Marquis Wen's side can he let go and deal with the Chen family." Chen Gong said with a smile.

"How should I do it?" Lu Bu frowned. Last time, Chu Nan had made him understand that the aristocratic family could not be used by him, and now he was asked to win over the aristocratic family.

"Marquis Wen is now Xuzhou Mu. County magistrates in various places in Xuzhou. Marquis Wen has the right to appoint and dismiss. He can punish some officials in the name of evaluating their political achievements to show their power. The local tyrants often do tax evasion. Families." Chen Gong said calmly.

"In this way, they will be used by me?" Lu Bu frowned, why does it feel unrealistic?
"Father-in-law, the teacher's intention is to establish prestige. This severely punished family will be tormented to death in the future." Chu Nan simply translated for Lu Bu: "In this way, father-in-law will show the Xuzhou gentry the Authority, in this way, there will be some unsuccessful families who will come to join them. Big families can't win over, but small families can crush these big families. The father-in-law will get half of the benefits. It can be divided into the remaining half, and there may be few people in the beginning, but as long as someone votes and can be reused, more and more people will vote for father-in-law."

"Come here for profit, not necessarily sincerely." Lu Bu obviously had his own ideas.

Chu Nan looked at Lu Bu in astonishment, was this Lu Bu's real thought?My father-in-law is also a miracle, as a prince, he can actually say what he says?Chu Nan didn't know whether to admire or laugh at him.

"Hey, with a sincere heart, it's not enough for a general to look up to one side, but it's not enough for a king."

This is the voice of Chen Gong.

"Father-in-law, from Nan's point of view, the friendship between people is only for profit at the beginning. In this world, except for parents, no one will treat you well for no reason. It must be for profit, but after that, you have to rely on your heart. Only by treating each other with sincerity and righteousness can we win people's hearts." Chu Nan said with a smile: "When I was still a businessman, I was still young, and an uncle from afar came to help me when he heard that both my parents were gone. , if someone bullies me, they act out of righteousness."

"There are always such righteous men in the world." Lu Bu nodded, looked at Chu Nan and said, "Where is that uncle of yours now? He is considered an official now, so we can't treat the old kindness badly."

"I thought so too, but it's a pity that I haven't heard from him since he took away most of my wealth." Chu Nan said regretfully.

Lu Bu: "..."

"My son-in-law, how can outsiders bully me?"

"Father-in-law don't need to be angry." Seeing Lu Bu's fierce eyes, Chu Nan's heart warmed slightly, and he smiled and said, "Actually, most people in this world are the same, and sometimes the friendship of interests is the most stable. I can't get anything, so why let him be used by me? So isn't there an old saying: if you don't do anything, you can either rape or steal."

"Is there such an old saying?" Lu Bu looked at Chu Nan suspiciously, but didn't ask, just thinking in his heart.

"Where did you hear the old saying Ziyan? Where did it come from? Why have I never heard of it?" Chen Gong looked at Chu Nan suspiciously.

"So I'm not the only one who doesn't know." Lu Bu heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Chu Nan.

"Forgot, what I heard when I was doing business before may be a common saying somewhere, and I thought it made sense, so I wrote it down." Chu Nan laughed.

"Although it is vulgar, it is quite reasonable. I think it is said by people who have experienced the world." Chen Gong nodded. In fact, he basically understands this truth at his age, but he has never summed it up in this way. It may not be very knowledgeable, but it must be weather-beaten.

"So it's unrealistic to think that most people are sincerely for the father-in-law, but they can benefit from the father-in-law, so they will work for the father-in-law." Chu Nan nodded.

Xuzhou's problem is the redistribution of cakes. Taking advantage of Cao Cao's lack of time to look around, he first eliminated the internal fighting tigers, promoted the young tigers for his own use, and integrated the power of Xuzhou. There are father-in-law Lu Bu and great scholars. Chen Gong, fierce generals Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and himself, Cao Cao raised his troops to attack. On the frontal battlefield, they may not be able to compete!
