Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 75
"Zi Yan seems a little unhappy?" At night, beside the bonfire in the camp for hundreds of people, Zhang Liao handed a bowl of broth to Chu Nan with a smile.

"What I have seen along the way, let alone bones exposed in the wild, but the people in the Central Plains are almost ruthless, and they really have sympathies." Chu Nan nodded. He also went out before, but they were all in Xuzhou, Xuzhou The life of the common people cannot be said to be good now, but it is much better than what they have seen along the way today.

Of course, in Chu Nan’s memory, there is actually a tragic scene in Xuzhou. When Cao Cao massacred the city, several cities smelled bloody when entering, but that was not a personal experience after all, just like watching a movie. It’s hard to have too much Empathy, but along the way today, it is the first time that he truly understands the difficulty of living at the bottom of the people in this era.

"In recent years, there have been severe droughts and locust plagues in various places. The plague has never stopped. There have been countless battles among the princes. It is not easy to survive, let alone other things." Zhang Liao shook his head. Chu Nan still saw less, he In these years, following Lu Bu to fight half of the world, he has seen much more tragic scenes than this, and he has long been numb.

Lu Lingqi drank the broth silently, and didn't feel much about it. After all, she fought all the way through the Central Plains as a young girl. She knew how hard life was for the people. After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he continued: "There is no such scene in Xuzhou. , mostly because of the small number of people.”

From this point of view, it is because Cao Cao massacred the city back then and many people died. The original resources to support 1 million people now only need to support 500,000 people, which will naturally make life easier. It is still possible to fill the stomachs of ordinary people.

Chu Nan nodded, took a sip of the broth silently, the taste was not very good, and silently planned in his heart to make refined salt first after returning home, those salt-making utensils he made have been dusted for a long time, it is time to take them out to create wealth , while also improving lives.

"Ziyan, when you arrive in Xuchang tomorrow, how are you going to lobby?" Zhang Liao didn't want to talk about this heavy topic. The world is in chaos, and they can't change anything.

"I want to propose the position of general for my father-in-law first, and also lead Xuzhou Mu." Chu Nan laughed.

"The imperial court will definitely not agree!" Zhang Liaojue's Chu Nan was a little whimsical, Xu Zhoumu still had a possibility, but the general...how could this be possible?

"I didn't expect them to agree. What we want is Xuzhou Mu, not the general. This negotiation is like doing business. It can't be negotiated in one go. First, throw out a request that the other party can't agree to, such as General, after the other party refuses, talk about Huqi, Cheqi, and General Wei, and if they disagree, they say that as long as Xu Zhoumu, I have been making concessions. If you still refuse, then you are not sincere!" Chu Nan laughed.

The great general is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. He is more powerful than the three princes. He can open a mansion and build a government. If Cao Cao is really willing to give Lu Bu this position, it doesn't matter whether he has Xuzhou Mu. To a certain extent, besides being in charge of the army, the general is Those who can intervene in the government affairs of the court.

In terms of credit alone, Lu Bu is naturally not enough for this position, but is it a business, asking for a lot of money to pay back the money, Chu Nan didn't really want to get this position for Lu Bu, if he did, he would offend Yuan Shao, now Lu Bu is surrounded by people. The four major powers are the court power represented by Cao Cao, the Hebei power represented by Yuan Shao, the Jianghuai power represented by Yuan Shu, and the Jiangdong power represented by Sun Ce.

Sun Ce is still pacifying Jiangdong, so he does not pose a threat for the time being. Among the remaining three major forces, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu have the greatest ambitions for Xuzhou. Yuan Shao is a force that can be wooed depending on the situation. , It is very difficult to enter Xuzhou from Qingzhou. From the map, if Yuan Shao wants to go south, it is better to cross the Yellow River to seek the Central Plains instead of Xuzhou.

Besides, Yuan Shao's main energy is still dealing with Gongsun Zan, so Yuan Shao can win him over, even if he can't help, at least don't turn against him.

So even if the imperial court gave this position, Lu Bu couldn't take it.

As for lobbying the princes in the court, Chu Nan never thought about it. Firstly, he has no connections in the court. It's useless for those celebrities and scholars to agree, so this time the main one is Cao Cao.

Zhang Liao looked at Chu Nan and asked after a moment of silence, "Is this the way of merchants?"

"The general can understand it in this way." Chu Nan nodded. The so-called buying is not as good as selling. Chu Nan's method is to position himself as a seller invisibly, but if there are only these ways of merchants, it would be too I underestimated the way of business.

"It has something in common with the art of war." Zhang Liao pondered, is it all a lie? The art of war also pays attention to the combination of odd and positive.

"The principles in the world probably have something in common." Chu Nan nodded, and put the broth in his hands on the ground, and the demon mantis and demon ants immediately flew to the bowl to eat. These two little guys don't like eating raw meat anymore. He began to like to eat cooked food with Chu Nan. Picky eating is not a good habit, and he couldn't tell whether it was progress or regression.

Zhang Liao nodded, this thing is not clear.

"General Wen Yuan, there is something I want to ask."

"Ziyan, but it's okay to say." During the day together, Zhang Liao still has a good impression of the lord's son-in-law. He doesn't have the kind of domineering and arrogance that suddenly ascended to a high position. As the saying goes, he will seize military power as soon as he comes up.

"I have been awakened for more than a month. I heard that there is a way to practice in this world. I don't know how to practice?" Chu Nan has been trying to figure out this problem, and talent is nothing. If you don't have a way to practice, you can only wander outside the door all the time.

"Since the change of heaven and earth, most of the methods of practice have been created by the various schools in the Spring and Autumn Period, each relying on it, and it is quite miraculous." Zhang Liao said with a smile: "I have been in the army all year round, and what I practice is also the method of military strategists. If Ziyan doesn't stay in the army for a long time, even if he tries to learn it, it will be difficult for him to achieve anything."

Chu Nan, the Ninth Secret of the Imperial Army, has seen it from Hou Cheng, but he has not been able to figure out the method so far.

"Then there are other cultivation systems?" Chu Nan asked curiously.

"Of course there are." Zhang Liao nodded: "In the pre-Qin period, the methods of practice handed down can be roughly divided into Confucianism, Law, Taoism, Soldiers, Yin and Yang, Medicine School, and Mohism. Unfortunately, Mohism has been lost now, but now Mohism remains Some of the fortified cities that came down are still there, and these cities, even without any blessings, will not be easily damaged, but it is a pity that they have been lost, not only the Mohist family, but also the farmers, novelists, and political strategists. "

At the end, Zhang Liao couldn't help sighing.

"The general thinks, which one is suitable for me to practice?" Chu Nan asked curiously.

"Military strategists use the power of the army to train themselves, so they need to be in the army all year round. Confucianism seeks the way for heaven and earth, and sets the principles for all people. Taoism is quiet and inaction, and it uses the power of mountains and rivers to practice. Legalism sets reward and punishment systems. The court system is clear, which can encourage them On the contrary, if the law is unclear and chaotic, it will eat itself back. When Dong Zhuo messed up the government, many Legalist courtiers died suddenly; as for Taoism, Yin-Yang School, and Doctors, how to practice is unknown." Zhang Liao looked at Chu Nan. He smiled and said, "Of course, these things can be cultivated concurrently, but if you can't do it right, you will suffer a lot of backlash."

"Then why is Madam so strong?" Chu Nan suddenly looked curiously at Lu Lingqi who was quietly eating. How old is she?

"Lingqi has practiced martial arts with the lord since she was a child. Although martial arts are not included in the six families, if someone with extraordinary talent specializes in martial arts, he can not be weak in any one. Moreover, martial arts are not fake, but are obtained from oneself. , is also the only method of practice that can be combined with any one, and military masters have the most, but if you want to achieve success in martial arts, your own talent is extremely important."

"Without talent, can't you practice martial arts?" Chu Nan asked curiously.

"No, but it needs external force. Do you know Gao Shun?" Zhang Liao laughed.

"The prestige of being trapped in the camp, I will naturally know." Chu Nan's eyes lit up. He had seen Gao Shun before. He was a serious person. He was married, and he drank water when others drank.

"Even if he doesn't have any talent, he uses military skills to practice martial arts. Although he is not as good as the top fighters in the world, but if he goes to the battlefield, looking at the world, there are very few who can beat others." Zhang Liao said Gao Shunshi , with a bit of admiration.

"No talent!?" Chu Nan looked at Zhang Liao in astonishment.

In this world where gods and demons dance wildly, without any divine power, how could Gao Shun beat the second master?
Zhang Liao nodded and gave him an affirmative answer.

Chu Nan is silent, in this world, there are always some people who can break common sense!
