Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 227 Planning
"Father, Gao Zu..." Hanoi, Sima's family, Sima Lang, who was in a dusty suit, didn't have time to say anything after returning, and quickly went to his father for an answer.

Originally he was the head of Tangyang and had good political achievements, but when he suddenly heard the news of Gao Zu's fall, he didn't care about other things for a while, and hurried back overnight to ask his father.

"En." Sima Fang nodded with a gloomy expression. Under the control of Xuzhou, the matter of Sima Jun has spread all over the world. Ask about the secret of longevity.

There will be more such things in the future, but even Sima Fang doesn't know why Sima Jun lives forever, so how to tell others?

Moreover, the death of the great-grandfather in Xuzhou was definitely a big loss for the Sima family, not only in terms of status, but more importantly, with Sima Jun around, the Sima family had their own guide who knew how to go in the future.

Now that Sima Jun died, the pillars that had always guided the Sima family to grow were broken, leaving many people including Sima Fang in confusion about the future. What should they do in the future?
"Brother, you shouldn't have come back!" Sima Yi, who heard the voice from the back hall, saw his brother, sighed slightly, and said to Sima Lang.

"Zhongda, why is this?" Sima Lang frowned and looked at Sima Yi.

"Now that the story of Gaozu is out, Cao Sikong will definitely be wary of our Sima family. Elder brother resigning rashly at this time will only make Sikong feel bad for the Sima family." After Sima Yi finished speaking, he bowed to Sima Fang and said: "Father , My boy thinks that at this moment, the most important thing for our Sima family to do is to be cautious in words and deeds, and not to meddle in other things, so as not to cause disaster."

"Alas!" Sima Fang sighed, motioned Sima Lang to sit down and said, "Over the years, our Sima family has been able to prosper day by day because our great-grandfather escorted our Sima family in secret. It's dangerous!"

"Father, there is no need to worry too much. As long as I, the Sima family, don't admit it, the rumors from Xuzhou are just rumors. Even if everyone in the world says it's true, and my Sima family doesn't admit it, then nothing will happen." Sima Yi Talking and laughing.

Sima Fang smiled wryly and said, "It's not easy to say, if this rumor continues to spread, do you know the consequences?"

"That's why we can't let this rumor spread again." Sima Yi said with a smile: "But people say that Lu Bu is trying to cover up the matter, but in fact, he got a treasure in this secret realm, and he didn't want the world to know, so he made up a story about a person who had already died. Those who slandered me, Mrs. Sima!"

"Can the world believe it?" Sima Fang felt that this lie had many loopholes.

"Make up a few more, there are too many rumors, and the world will not know which one to believe, and this matter will gradually be forgotten. However, if we want to make this happen, our Sima family alone is not enough. Since Gaozu and Yuan The family is old, how about asking the Yuan family to open their eyes on this matter?" Sima Yi laughed.

The reason Xuzhou was able to spread the news to everyone so quickly was because the Xuzhou family used the power of a state and held the government office as a microphone. The news spread naturally, but the Sima family could not compare with the state herdsmen of a state. In order to accomplish this, there must be an equivalent government office to help spread the rumors.

Although Sima Lang is currently working for Cao Cao, the Sima family is obviously closer to the Yuan family emotionally, and only the Yuan family knows about Sima Jun's affairs among the princes.

"Then you won't take revenge on Gao Zu?" Sima Lang looked at his father and second brother, frowning and asked.

"Brother, what we are going to do now is to save the family, not revenge. If the Sima family is gone, what's the point of killing the enemy?" Sima Yi said solemnly.

"Ah!" Sima Lang asked himself that he couldn't be as calm as his brother, so he could only sigh and didn't say any more.

Sima Lang persuaded: "If you have nothing else to do, go back as soon as possible, don't make Cao Mengde dissatisfied again."

He had been kind to Cao Cao, and the relationship between the two parties was not bad at first, but now that Cao Cao has become bigger and bigger, and when he really became a hero in troubled times, Sima Fang's perception of Cao Cao is also constantly decreasing, and now he hardly uses it in private. honorifics.

"My son takes orders!" Sima Lang nodded, and after staying at home all night, he bid farewell to his father and returned to Tangyang to handle government affairs.

"Your elder brother is kind by nature, but he lacks the capital." Seeing the back of his eldest son leaving, Sima Fang sighed and said, "However, is this matter in Xuzhou really left alone?"

Sima Yi shook his head and said, "Father, you don't need to worry about it. Now the situation in the Central Plains is clear. Before Yuan Gong kills Gongsun, there must be a battle between Cao and Lu. But compared to this person, my son is more worried about Lu Bu's son-in-law."

"Son-in-law?" Sima Fang was startled when he heard the words, and looked at his son in confusion, what's wrong with this son-in-law?Looking at his son's appearance, he seemed to pay more attention to his son-in-law than Lu Bu. After thinking about it carefully, he asked uncertainly, "Chunan?"

"It was this person, my father may not have noticed, that Lu Bu began to reverse the situation and gradually controlled Xuzhou. It was after this person's marriage that the daughter began to change. It was also after the appearance of this person that Duke Han Yu was pushed into desperation step by step. In the end, the family will be destroyed!" Although Sima Yi has not become an official, he has never stopped studying major events in the world.

Sima Yi was able to count the role of each person under the tents of the princes like a treasure, and it was precisely because of this that he was keenly aware of the differences in Chu Nan in such a chaotic situation.

"Coincidence?" Sima Fang asked uncertainly, this doesn't mean that Chu Nan is good, right?
"Coincidence?" Sima Yi smiled, and said to Sima Fang: "My child has been paying attention to this person for a long time, first for Jin Cao, Lv Bu got a lot of salt, so as to escape from the Chen family's control!"

The gentry's control over a warlord like Lu Bu usually involves both talent and money, controlling the opponent's economic lifeline and employment channels.

But if these two dragon-binding ropes fail to tie up the evil dragon, then the result of the Chen family is the best example, and Chu Nan also started from his best wealth, step by step to help Lu Bu win the financial power .

"Then the Piling was issued, and the bloodbath of the gentry began from then on. It seemed bloody, but my father watched him carefully. If ordinary princes did this, the people would have already been in chaos and the people were in dire straits. However, Xuzhou was not like this. The reason is that during the time when Chu Nan was the county magistrate, he suppressed the big clans, but wooed the small clans. Although the big clans were massacred, the small clans were safe, and they were recruited by him. So far, Lu Bu no longer worried that no one would be available. , there is no food available!" Sima Yi gave Sima Fang a detailed overview of what Chu Nan had done since his debut.

"Besides, this person also helped Lu Bu get the position of Xuzhou Shepherd. I heard that Mr. Gongtai's success as a great Confucianism is also related to this person." Sima Yi looked at his father: "If one or two things are coincidences, but This person is involved in so many things about Lu Bu's fate, if you look at it as a coincidence, you are deceiving yourself, father, this son has become powerful, you should not underestimate him!"

"A mere merchant..." Sima Fang looked gloomy, he didn't want to accept this fact.

"Yes, a mere merchant." Sima Yi nodded, and he didn't want to accept it, but the fact is here, and he must accept it.

……

Xuzhou, Xiapi

"This is the Hall of Strange People?" Chen Gong had nothing to do today, so he came to watch the newly built Hall of Strange People, accompanied by Chu Nan, walked around, and asked in surprise, "Why is it like a government office?"

"The Hall of Strange People will be regarded as the assistant of the government office in the future, taking care of some things that the government office can't handle." Chu Nan walked with Chen Gong and said: "This is what I think, to temporarily deal with some things that the local government office dare not deal with. Local bullies, this kind of bully usually appears, most of them are in collusion with officials of the government office, and the local government office secretly protects them."

"What's the use of dealing with these bullies?" Chen Gong asked puzzled.

"The teacher has never really been in the people. For the people, it doesn't matter who is the official, because it is too far away from them, but these local bullies really affect the hearts of the people. It is difficult for these bullies to be handed over to local officials. , because local officials will indulge these people to do some things they don't want to do or can't do for the convenience of governance, and these people, with the protection of the government office, often act unscrupulously, trampling on the people is like trampling on ants."

"To the teacher, such a small person is not on the stage, but to the common people, it is a mountain that can threaten their lives at any time." Chu Nan said as he walked.

"So the Hall of Strange People is in charge of these things?" Chen Gongjue's Chu Nan solicited so many strange people from all over the world with great fanfare, but in the end it was just letting them take care of trivial matters, which was overkill.

"Currently, I have no training, and the recruits are also good and bad. I am afraid that it will be difficult to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility." Chu Nan explained as he walked.

Now the recruits are all small people with average ability, there are quite a few of them, but their ability is average.

Although the physical fitness is far superior to ordinary people, it is difficult to form an army without training. Moreover, these people have some abilities and are not easy to convince others. If you want to train them into well-trained soldiers, I am afraid that they will be very smooth. This kind of general is capable.

"Tell me about your future preparations?" Chen Gong was very curious about this disciple's plan.

"It's not difficult at all. Those who are gifted in combat will serve as the guards of the Hall of Strange People, and specialize in combating the rioters, monsters, etc. in the territory; the rest will be arranged according to different talents. The disciples are going to select a group of secrets to go to the rest of the vassals to inquire about secrets. Information, if not suitable, do some logistical work, such as helping to dredge grain roads, build fortifications, reinforce cities, and treat the wounded during wartime, what do you think, teacher?"

It sounds like it is an omnipotent department, almost independent of the current government office, directly under the jurisdiction of Chu Nan, with its own combat and intelligence capabilities. Of course, this is also a deterrent to the officials.

Chen Gong glanced at Chu Nan. This means that he met Lu Bu and replaced him with any prince. If Chu Nan dared to do this, even if he survived, he would be feared by others and would not dare to use him again.

"Just right, I heard that you are going to train these people today, so I just want to see how Ziyan encourages them as a teacher?" Chen Gong laughed.

"It's best to have a teacher in charge! Teacher, please!"
