Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 397 Gossip
In such a big Xuchang, it is impossible to do things one by one, but to do many things at the same time. Unless there is something important about life and death that requires everyone to do it with one heart, most of the time, everyone will perform their own duties. Each government office has its own work to do.

During this period of time, Chen Gong and Man Chong worked out a set of assessment procedures. The Ministry of War made a detailed naturalization deployment for the various ministries around Xuchang.
The Ministry of Industry is emphasizing on integrating the Qimen Array into the layout of the city and the upgrading of equipment.

Although Chu Nan, the Minister of the Household Department, has left, the operation has not stopped. The work efficiency of spies is usually very good. In addition, Chu Nan plays with Infernal Affairs in his own government office from time to time, sowing discord and so on. , so that his lovely subordinates are full of distrust, although it is pretending, but Chu Nan thinks it is very interesting, especially the energy of mutual competition, Chu Nan thinks it is worth growing.

Lu Mansion, Chu Nan’s original promise to let Lu Bu be promoted to the third lord is only half completed now, the right has been acquired, but the position of the third lord has not yet been acquired, so now it can only be called Lu Mansion, and the brand of Taiwei Mansion, Lu Bu, is ready. Just waiting for Jinshi Sangong to hang it up, someone wipes and cleans it every day.

More than half a year has passed, and there has been no movement. In addition, the actual power has already fallen into his hands, so Lu Bu is not too urgent about it.

When Chu Nan came over, Lu Bu and Chen Gong were already waiting for him.

It's a pity to say that after being in Xuchang for so long, apart from Chen Gong and Chu Nan, there are no decent counselors to join him, and now Lu Bu can discuss things with these two.

Lu Bu didn't ask about the Black Mountain Army. In his opinion, since his son-in-law has gone, there must be no problem. Why bother to ask?
Instead, Yuan Shao's memorial and the criminal who wanted to arrest the murderer were sent to the sea to arrest the document.

"If he wants to, he can just draw a post and arrest him." Chu Nan said with a smile, "Father-in-law, the territory of our army has not yet been completely stabilized, and the effectiveness of the New Deal will start to be truly accepted after the beginning of spring. It will take at least a year to buffer , it’s not good to go to war with Yuan Shao, there’s no need to argue with Yuan Shao about these trivial matters, he wants face, so just give him face, what I want is benefits.”

What Chu Nan meant was that in terms of diplomacy, we should try our best to flatter Yuan Shao. Anyway, this matter is a matter of the Ministry of Rites. If you want to nod or bow, you can do whatever you want, as long as you can let Yuan Shao vent, it doesn’t matter even if you kill Kong Rong, I’ll give you another Send one.

But strength cannot be compromised, not at all.

Just like the matter of the Black Mountain Army this time, it was the advance cloth for the confrontation between the future and Yuan Shao, and this matter had to be contested.

"Doing nothing means... killing the emissary?" Lu Bu turned his head and looked at his son-in-law with a smile.

He didn't know what Yuan Shao's expression was when he knew about this, but from the news that came, Yuan Shao was very angry, so he almost sent troops to kill him.

"My son-in-law is also considered to be in Jiuqing now. Is it reasonable to convict Jiuqing and have to talk about evidence?" Chu Nan said helplessly. Yuan Shao had no evidence. Who knew who the person who came to Heishan and claimed to be the envoy of the great Han was? ?These days, the Han Dynasty is in decline, and there are such things as pretending to be imperial envoys.

"That's right, that's the truth!" Lu Bu laughed heartily when he heard the words. Although he heard what a good person said, he felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

"How about the Black Mountain Army?" Chen Gong waited for the Weng and his son-in-law to speak before asking more serious questions.

The Black Mountain Army is a clear move. Both sides know that the Black Mountain Army is very important to the battle situation, and they both want to control this clear chess in their hands. Even if it is not used in the future, as long as it is there, the other party cannot ignore it.

"It cost a lot of money." Chu Nan explained how he first killed the envoys in Taihang Mountain, then helped Zhang Yan to suppress the place, finally solved the demon chaos, and let them stay safely in the Black Mountain Army.

In fact, in this way, the Black Mountain Army did not move. For Yuan Shao, the Black Mountain Army seemed to have turned from light to darkness. There were monsters raging in it, and there was no sign of the Black Mountain Army coming down from Taihang Mountain.

Now that the eight Xings of Taihang are under the control of Yuan Shao, if the Black Mountain Army goes out on a large scale, it is impossible for him not to know.

So in this way, the Black Mountain Army lost news because of the barrier of monsters. From a common sense, if the Black Mountain Army is wiped out by monsters, it is impossible for none of them to escape. At least Zhang Yan, a general with supernatural powers It is impossible to escape without even escaping, but if it is not destroyed, how the Black Mountain Army can survive is a problem.

The original bright child has become a dark child, and the deterrent effect may be greater than expected when the other party's status is not sure!

"According to Ziyan, what is the combat strength of the Black Mountain Army?" Chen Gong asked.

Lu Bu's answer certainly cannot be regarded as a standard answer. It is not objective at all. For this kind of question, we still have to ask the opinions of normal people.

"The Black Mountain Army is somewhat similar to the soldiers who garrison the fields. They work in the fields during the busy season. According to the disciples, the so-called Million Black Mountain Army on the Taihang Mountains is no more than 200,000 at most. Leaving aside the old, young, women and children, the actual combat strength is about [-]. According to the military discipline Judging from these, it's not a strong army, but it's not too weak either, not as good as the elite princes, but ordinary county soldiers are not as good as them." Based on his own experience, Chu Nan made a positioning for the Black Mountain Army.

Military discipline to a large extent represents the speed, standardization, etc. of the formation, because of the existence of the military formation, these are the criteria for evaluating an army rather than the individual combat power of the soldiers.

And as far as Chu Nan is concerned, there are no outstanding generals in the Black Mountain Army except for Zhang Yan, and many of them are not as good as Che Zhou and his like back then. It's not bad to lead a hundred people.

But in the Montenegrin Army, this kind of general can command at least 500 people.

Of course, this is based on the standards of Lu Bu’s army. After defeating Cao Cao, incorporating Cao’s army, and integrating the generals of both sides, the overall quality of Lu Bu’s army has been qualitatively improved. In Xuzhou, it is at most better than the Montenegro army. a notch.

On the whole, the combat power of the Montenegrin Army is still impressive.

"According to military discipline?" Chen Gong looked at Chu Nan, smiled and said, "Zi Yan's words have other meanings."

"This is also what I want to talk to my father-in-law and teacher. I have tested the strength of ordinary soldiers and ordinary people in the army and civilians respectively. This time in the Black Mountain Army, I have also tested it by the way, with 13 Take the years old boy as an example. The common people have increased their strength by [-] jin on average, and the soldiers have [-] jin. Calculated by force, the people living on the Taihang Mountains are twice as high as the people living in the city!"

Having said that, looking at Lv Bu and Chen Gong, Chu Nansu Rong said: "This can further verify the previous conjecture that the power of heaven and earth in this mountain is much more than that here, and there are more beasts and demons than people living together." That can be explained."

Chen Gong nodded: "A few days ago, my teacher also visited Yulou and other cities built along the mountain. According to the increase calculation mentioned by Ziyan, although it is not as powerful as the Black Mountain Army, the increase is also higher than that of people who live in prosperous places. of."

If this has always been the case, then the speed of the monster's enhancement will be much stronger than that of humans.

"So those monsters will gradually crush the human race?" Lu Bu frowned. Could it be that the disaster of monsters will gradually be unstoppable in the future?

"There is no need to worry about this matter. Before the appearance of the power of heaven and earth, ordinary people were no match for tigers and leopards. However, most of this fertile land is occupied by humans. The greatest advantage of the human race is not that it is stronger than beasts, but that it is good at using tools. , such as weapons, agricultural tools, etc., monsters are just enlightened, even if they have wisdom that is not inferior to humans, it is impossible to catch up with the human race so quickly, father-in-law does not need to worry about this." Chu Nan waved his hand and smiled.

As long as the gap between humans and monsters is not so large that it is hopeless, humans will rely on their weapons and formations to overtake each other.

What's more, based on what we have seen so far, the peak powerhouses among humans still have a crushing advantage over the top monsters at this stage.

In fact, when he went to the Black Mountain Army this time, apart from recruiting Black Mountain, Chu Nan also secretly mentioned to Zhang Yan that he was more interested in the Taoism of the Taiping Sect and wanted to see it.

It's a pity that the Taoism in Zhang Yan's hands is all learned from Zhang Niujiao. If you want to learn it, you have to change your surname.

Chu Nan possessed the ability to read minds, so he could tell whether the other party was using it to perfunctory and deceive him, so he didn't force it.

As for changing his surname for some Taoism, Chu Nan naturally didn't want to, so it didn't happen.

However, creating a practice system suitable for utilizing the power of heaven and earth is already a matter that must be faced now.

In fact, today's soldiers, law, Taoism, and Confucianism all have some cultivation effects. For example, in the army formation, you can use the power of thousands of troops to wash your body, so that your strength and physique can quickly approach the limit.

Can you find a way to condense the released power in the body like in the novels of the previous life, and while nourishing the body, you can release these powers to fight at any time?

This Chu Nan is not sure whether it will work or not for the time being. The most important thing is that there is no method. Even if you successfully pass through the secret realms of the true immortals, you will get supernatural powers or physiques, but there is no way to practice. The process of enlightening the true immortals is What, it is impossible for a mortal to become a true immortal as long as he realizes something?
This is obviously illogical.

Lu Bu nodded, and started chatting with Chu Nan about the Xinzheng Secret Realm. He planned to venture into it with his son-in-law. As for Lingqi, it would be best if she could catch up. If she couldn't, then wait until later.

After all, the opening of the secret realm will not wait for anyone, and judging from the visions around Xuanyuan Tomb, the opening of the secret realm in this place has only happened recently, and it is obviously impossible for Lu Lingqi to wait.

"Father-in-law wants to go, son-in-law will accompany him." Chu Nan did not refuse the old man's invitation, and he did have plans to visit.

"Very good." Lu Bu said with satisfaction.
