Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 469 Meeting
"Mr. Gongtai, who is this?" General Duan Yan looked at Zhao Yun who was following Chen Gong. A group of people asked when they went to the government office.

"This is my disciple, Zhao Yun." Chen Gong said as he walked.

"Mr. is a great Confucian, how could he accept a military general as his disciple?" The general obviously didn't believe it.

"In the past, under the disciple of Confucius, Zilu had the courage to be undeserved, why can't I accept generals?" Chen Gong said indifferently.

In the realm of great Confucianism, people like Confucius are not respected as much as other Confucians. Although Confucianism was founded by Confucius, Confucius’s way is only his own way. Confucianism and Confucius’ way are not completely integrated. From this Confucianism, one can condense one's own way, and if one wants to do this, one must first question Confucius' way.

This is why there are few great Confucianists in the Confucian family who are the descendants of Confucius. They only respect the way of Confucius as orthodox, but they don’t understand that the way is only for Confucius. Great Confucianism.

Therefore, those who can become great Confucians do not respect Confucius as much as ordinary Confucian students. Others just think that a great Confucian does not need to respect the virtuous, but in fact it is not disrespectful, but they will not worship Confucius as a god like ordinary people.

【Who is Zilu? 】

A very uneducated question flashed through the general's mind, but judging by Chen Gong's performance, Zilu was obviously a very famous person. In order to avoid being despised by others, the general nodded in understanding and followed Chen Gong, half a step behind Ma Wei, but inadvertently turned his eyes to the fat man with his head raised high and his face full of flesh. The other party looked dismissive of everything, which was even more imposing than Chen Gong.

"This general is very brave! The generals under Marquis Wen's tent have many friendships, but I don't know which general it is?" They have also met each other before, seeing Luo Ping'an's attitude at this moment, he only thinks that the other party is a new general who is responsible for protecting Chen Gong.

Chen Gong and Zhao Yun turned their heads and glanced at Luo Pingan. When they saw his appearance, they couldn't help being a little surprised. What kind of attitude is this?

The two turned their heads tacitly, looking ahead, not looking at Luo Ping'an.

Hearing this, Luo Ping'an looked up slightly, clasped his fists at the other party and said, "I'm here, Luo Ping'an."

Luo Pingan?
The general frowned and looked at the other party, his eyes swept over the other party's armor, his eyes were very sharp, and he could tell at a glance that the armor was extraordinary and of high quality, several grades higher than the armor on Zhao Yun's body.

I won't say whether Li is powerful or not, but this status is probably higher than that of Zhao Yun.

As for why he has been walking in the back, it is not difficult to understand. Civil and military discord is also a common occurrence. Although Chen Gong is an extremely important figure in the southern Chu forces, there is no guarantee that everyone has a good relationship with him, let alone Chen Gong and Zhao Yun. It's a master-student relationship, but he, the master general, was squeezed out at the rear.

It seems that Chu Nan's subordinates are not as peaceful as in the legend.

At that moment, the general looked at Luo Ping'an for a few times, then nodded friendly to him, rode his horse to Chen Gong's side, and continued to lead Chen Gong all the way to the General's Mansion.

After Duan Yan united with the generals in Guanzhong to kill Li Jue in Huangbaicheng, he was appointed General Annan, General Zhenyuan, and the prefect of the North. Now Chang'an is the biggest force in the area of ​​​​the North.

Chen Gong would immediately come to Duan Yan instead of Ma Chao, who had some friendship with him in the past. Apart from the short distance, more importantly, according to the analysis of Chu Nan and Guo Jia, Duan Yan is not the kind who is too ambitious. The person, plus the meritorious service in killing Li Jue before, is also closer to the court.

Although the official was given by Cao Cao, the emperor has not changed.

If Duan Yao can be persuaded, it means that they already have a force that has taken root in this pass for many years. Once they have a foundation, it will be much easier to convince other generals in the pass.

Although Duan Yan didn't go out to meet Chen Gong in person, he still waited at the gate of the government office with dignity, and when he saw Chen Gong coming, he even stepped forward to help Chen Gong get off his horse.

"I've heard of Mr. Gongtai's great Confucianism for a long time, but I regret not being able to meet him. It's really my good fortune to see Mr. Gongtai today." Duan Yan saluted Chen Gong with a smile.

"General Zhongming, don't do this!" Chen Gong hurriedly supported Duan Yan and said with a smile: "The palace is just a vain name. The general has been powerful in the north since the Zhongping period. These years, the court has repeatedly made military exploits. He is a minister of meritorious service. , how can you worship me?"

"This is not to worship Mr., but to worship Daruer!" Duan Yan shook his head and said with a serious face.

"Impossible!"

The two parties seemed to be proficient in official etiquette, and they pushed each other for a long time at the door. Zhao Yun was a little embarrassed, and Luo Pingan started yawning, and then stopped.

Don't think Duan Yan is a military commander, but he has learned from Jia Xu in the officialdom, and he has studied a lot in these years. You must know that after the Xiliang Army counterattacked Chang'an, Li Jue and Guo Si were the most powerful. But as time went by, Duan Yan gradually became the biggest force in this pass, which shows that his ability is not bad.

"Ping'an, Loch Ness has some disdain for this General Duan?" Zhao Yun and Luo Ping'an followed behind, and after making sure that no one had any intention of killing Chen Gong, Zhao Yun said in a low voice.

"Zilong doesn't know something." Luo Pingan said as he walked, "Among the generals in Guanzhong, this period is not the strongest, but it is definitely the most timid. When the emperor moved his capital to Luoyang, Yang Ding, Dong Cheng, Zhong Zhong Ji and others tried their best to frame him in front of the emperor, but he just didn't know it, just always respected and served the emperor and officials, and finally nothing happened, Yang Ding didn't get any benefits, and the emperor trusted him more and more."

"This is a good thing." Zhao Yun wondered, wondering why Luo Ping'an looked down on him?
"Later Cao Cao welcomed the emperor to Xuchang. After Duan Yan killed Li Jue, he sent people to Xuchang. The one who worshiped was not the emperor but Cao Cao." Luo Pingan glanced at Duan Yan's back and laughed in a low voice.

Zhao Yun was silent, and after a while, he asked in a low voice: "How did you know these things?"

Luo Pingan looked around and said in a low voice: "This kind of news is everywhere in Xuchang, and there are many people in the Museum of Strange People who are collecting this kind of gossip. Although it is not included in the history books, there are always people who are interested in these old stories. I am more interested, and my lord has also inquired about this matter."

"I see." Zhao Yun nodded. If Chu Nan wanted to understand the personalities of the generals, he naturally needed to know these things.

On the other side, Lieutenant General Duan Yan looked at the two whispering and frowned slightly. Shouldn't these two be hostile?Why doesn't it look hostile?
At this time, Chen Gong was not in a hurry to discuss with Duan Yan how to deal with the generals in Guanzhong. After all, he hadn't made a statement yet. In this kind of matter, whoever speaks first will lose the wind. Chen Gong also needs to understand the specific situation here.

"This journey into Guanzhong has brought a lot of emotion." Chen Gong sighed and said, "How prosperous Guanzhong was in the past, but now what we see is bones exposed in the wild, thousands of miles of people, and only the general here can see it." To some popularity."

"Who says it's not." Duan Yan also sighed, and said with some regret: "Sir, I don't know, these years, there have been constant wars in the Guanzhong, and the people who can leave have left, and the rest are unable to leave. Now the Guanzhong is better. What’s more, in the early years, it was not uncommon for Yizi to eat each other, and the fields were barren, that is the real purgatory on earth, and now the soldiers in the army have to cultivate their own food and grass, and they can’t support soldiers with taxes.”

In fact, people were almost dead. In the early years when Guanzhong was rich and prosperous, Xiliang’s army did not engage in production. In addition, the warlords scuffled and ran out of food. As a result, Xiliang’s population withered. Now there are fewer wars. It’s not that they don’t want to fight. It's just that we can't afford to fight. If we fight a war, we can't even find people who transport grain, and the evil consequences of ignoring people's livelihood will gradually become apparent.

Even if there is a war, it is a quick battle. If there is no victory or defeat for three days, the morale of the army will be lost by itself.

Chen Gong heard the words, smiled and did not answer.

When Duan Yan said this, he obviously wanted to seek benefits.

After a moment of silence, Duan Yan saw that Chen Gong didn't answer, he hesitated and said: "I heard that Chu Lingjun was very effective in governing the Central Plains last year, and the people in the Central Plains are prosperous."

"Fair." Chen Gong nodded and said, "However, since the beginning of spring, Yuan Shao in the north has frequently provoked. Although last year caught up with the harvest year, given the current situation, we still need to stockpile more food and grass for emergencies."

"Of course it should." Duan Yan nodded, this was to express his opinion, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Although I have never met Ling Jun, but he can be valued by Marquis Wen and entrusted with his foundation, he must be a hero. I heard that you can defeat Cao Cao, so that you can make the most of the credit."

"Although the lord comes from a humble background, he is broad-minded, has the courage to accept all kinds of rivers, and has a heart of compassion for the world. It's just because of conflicting interests, he is quite burdened by the stigma, but the lord treats his own people very kindly." Chen Gong nodded. Although he is his own disciple, of course he wants to give his disciple enough face in front of outsiders. Besides, he should be called the master now, but Chu Nan has always insisted on treating him with respect as a disciple. In front of Nan, he still regards himself as a teacher.

"The last general has heard about Ling Jun's benevolence and righteousness." Duan Yan smiled and said, "I don't know if you have invited Mr. to come to Guanzhong this time, but what instructions do you have? If it is useful for the last general, I hope you can say it clearly. Although the last general has low skills, he is still willing to serve the court."

"For General Yu, it should be a good thing!" Chen Gong said with a smile.

"Oh?" Duan Yan looked at Chen Gong curiously.

"Thinking of the general's achievements in the past, although Cao Cao has already been canonized as a general, the lord thinks that Li Jue is also a national thief, and the general who can kill this thief is doing harm to the country and has made great contributions to the country. This is to represent the court and the general. For Weiwei, the palace is here to send the canonized edict, but I don’t know if the general is willing to serve in the court?" Chen Gong beckoned, and Luo Pingan immediately presented the prepared official seal and edict.

Weiwei?

Duan Yan looked at the official seal and imperial edict sent up, and fell into deep thought...
