Chapter 276: Explode the gold coins of the nobles and dig into the corner of Wei! (One hundred monthly votes will add more updates!)

Xinxi City.

In the hospitality lobby.

A large banquet is being held at this moment.

The sound of silk and bamboo came from a corner of the banquet hall. Musicians picked up various musical instruments such as guqin, zither, flute, and pipa, and the melodious music filled the entire hall.

The strings of the piano are lightly plucked, the sound of the flute is melodious, and the music is like gurgling spring water, like the wind blowing bamboo leaves, and like the chirping of birds.

The actors and actresses of Mei Ji wore cool Hanfu, dancing gracefully and gracefully, with light steps, gorgeous sleeves and dance robes dancing in the air.

Every dance is accompanied by the ups and downs of the music. The dancers dance gracefully, like fairies descending to the world. Their thin clothes inadvertently reveal a large spring scene. The guests here can't help but hold their breath and stare, intoxicated by the grace of the dancers. The younger brother stiffened slightly to show respect.

All kinds of delicacies are placed on the banquet table, and the aroma is fragrant.

Those who run on the ground, those who swim in the water, and those who fly in the sky.

It's all included.

There was a dazzling array of fine wines at the banquet. The wines were transparent in color and exuded an alluring aroma.The guests at the banquet raised their wine bottles, toasted each other, talked and laughed, and the laughter was endless.

"Your Highness is so wise and powerful that even though the false king Cao Pi personally led his army, he still couldn't cause any trouble to Your Highness. I admire you, I admire you!"

Yin Shou, who was born in the Yin family of Runan and had joined Liu Chan very early, picked up the wine bottle and saluted Liu Chan.

"Your Highness, please!"

Yin Shou is now visiting Runan, and he can be regarded as one of Liu Chan's staunchest supporters in Runan.

"Please!"

Liu Chan picked up the wine bottle and saluted in return.

"This Runan was originally harmed by the rebellious Cao Cao. It was only because of His Highness's personal presence that he saved the Runan nobles from the fire and water. I respect this bottle, Your Highness. When Your Highness comes, the blue sky will appear in Runan. When Your Highness comes, this bottle will appear." Runan is the Runan who is truly from Runan!"

Zhou Ren, the chief clerk, also stood up at this moment, bowed to Liu Chan, and drank the full bottle of wine in one gulp.

Next.
There were also other noble families, such as the Runan Meng family, the Runan Wu family, and others, who toasted to Liu Chan and expressed their submission.

There are indeed 20 troops from Wei State in Runan, but as local nobles in Runan, they are still very well-informed.

After all, there are many people in my family who are appointed to serve at the grassroots and middle levels of the Wei army.

There was no need to deliberately inquire, they just knew the current situation of the Wei army.

The food road was blocked, and the Wei army was short of food and grass. Even a real dragon would have difficulty moving in the shoals.

What's more, judging from the current situation, this real dragon, the Crown Prince of Hanzhong, is more like Cao Pi, at best, he is just a dragon or a giant snake.

"Report~"

At this moment, a messenger came in a hurry.

"Your Highness, the Puppet King Cao Pi is leading tens of thousands of Wei troops towards Xinxi!"

As soon as the messenger finished speaking, a stone immediately stirred up a thousand waves.

"what?"

"The main force of the Wei army is coming to attack?"

"How can this be good?"

The reception hall, which was originally harmonious and quiet, suddenly became noisy again.

"Everyone be quiet!"

Liu Chanxing looked around the crowd. Although his voice was not loud, the chaos in the hall was stopped in time.

"Earlier, I only had 20 soldiers in Xinxi City. Then Cao Pi came with an army of [-], but he couldn't do anything to me. Now there are tens of thousands of defenders in the city, not to mention tens of thousands of Wei troops, but all [-] Wei troops have arrived. And What's there to be afraid of?"

Liu Chan's words indeed calmed the uneasy hearts of the nobles in the hall.

Yin Shou immediately stepped forward to express his position: "What your Highness said is absolutely true. If a mere Wei army comes to attack, it doesn't matter. As long as Your Highness is here, not to mention tens of thousands of Wei troops, but millions of Wei troops are coming. Your Highness will definitely be able to break it!"

Zhou Ren, the chief bookkeeper, also complimented him.

"Anyone who offends us in Runan will be punished no matter how far away he is! Cao Pi, the mere false king, is not worth mentioning!"

of course
The fact that Cao Pi personally led the army came, still made some Runan nobles have other thoughts.

For example, the He family in Runan and the Cheng family in Runan.

The Cheng clan of Runan is in Nandun, which is not yet within the reach of Liu Chan's troops. Now that he saw Cao Pi personally leading his army, he was afraid that his story would be exposed and harm the people in Nandun city, so he hurried forward and said: " Your Highness, King Cao Pi of Wei is here in person, and I would like to ask Your Highness to allow me to retire."

He came here today to invest in Liu Chan, and he also sent a few of his family members over.

A lot of gold, silver, wealth and silk were also sent over.

Cheng's thoughts in Runan are: If Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, gets Runan in the future, then I, Cheng's family in Runan, can settle the relationship early.

Although it is not as important as the Yin family in Runan and the Meng family in Runan, it is not to the point of deposing and destroying the family and genocide.

"Your Highness, I have also resigned."

Representatives of the Runan He family stood up and stepped forward, also asking to leave.

The land of Runanhe clan is in Xiping County, which is still in the hands of Wei State today.

He sent people here, and his thoughts were similar to those of the Runan Cheng family.

But there are some differences.

After all, the head of the Cheng family in Runan had followed Cheng Bingnan to Jiaozhou to escape the chaos, and now he might have been conquered by Sun Quan and summoned as an official.

Its gentry power was generally in decline.

Therefore, he did not dare to offend either Cao Pi or Liu Chan.

But Runan Heshi is different.

He Qia is now the Minister of the Wei State, Lang Zhongling, and canonized as Tinghou. Among the Runan gentry, his family is considered to be doing very well in the Wei State.

Coming here this time is just to leave a good impression in front of Liu Chan in advance.

If Runan is really occupied by Liu Chan, the crown prince of Hanzhong, even though some of my family members are serving as officials in Wei State, we, the He clan members in Runan, will still obey Your Highness.

Who will own Runan now has not yet been determined, at least there are some variables.

He did not dare to let Cao Pi know that his Runan He family had disobedient thoughts, and he also started to put eggs in different baskets.

After the Runan Cheng family and the Runan He family stood up to resign, three or four more representatives of the gentry family stood up to resign.

Yin Shou and Zhou Ren looked at Liu Chan with some worry, fearing that Liu Chan would have a bad impression of the Runan nobles.

Fortunately, there was no anger on Liu Chan's face at this moment. Instead, he was smiling and not angry at all, which made Yin Shou and Zhou Ren feel slightly relieved.

Liu Chan had already anticipated this situation.

This messenger could enter the hall directly and let the guests in the hall know that Cao Pi was coming to attack. Naturally, he had his orders and consent.

"Don't worry, everyone, Cao Pi can't attack Xinxi City. Naturally, Wei will not know your whereabouts."

Liu Chan's words obviously could not reassure the noble representatives present.

Liu Chan knew that if he wanted to reassure these noble representatives and allow them to be used for his own purposes, it would be impossible to convince them without dropping a bombshell.

Therefore, Liu Chan said slowly: "There is a news that you may not know yet. There is civil strife in Wei. Cao Zhang is plotting a rebellion and wants to replace Cao Pi and become the king of Wei. Now Luoyang is probably occupied by the rebel army."

"What? There is civil strife in Wei?"

"Is this happening? How could I not know?"

"It seems that there are indeed some rumors. The family received an invitation from Marquis Yanling before. We originally thought it was an invitation to a banquet, but it turned out to be this."

"If there is civil strife in Wei, then how can King Cao Pi of Wei have the energy to focus on Runan?"

We are all human beings, each one smarter than the other.

There is too much information in Liu Chan's words.

So much so that those representatives who were standing and preparing to resign silently sat back down.

Even the Runan He family and the Runan Cheng family are no exception.

"How did Your Highness know that Cao Zhang was causing trouble? We in the Wei Kingdom didn't even know about it!" Runan and its clan are located in Xiping. Xiping is actually on the edge of Runan, very close to Yingchuan and Yanling City where Cao Zhang is located. However, It’s just a hundred miles away.

This is one of the reasons why he received Cao Zhang's invitation.

"Ha ha."

Liu Chan smiled softly and said: "The reason why Cao Zhang dared to rebel was because of my instigation. The merchant alliance was hugely profitable, so how could Yanlinghou not have other thoughts in his mind?"

It turns out that the mastermind behind the scenes is the Crown Prince of Hanzhong in front of him!

Everyone understood, and at the same time, they couldn't help but feel jealous of Liu Chan.

Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, looks harmless to humans and animals. He is a young man of thirteen or fourteen years old, and his reputation as a romantic is known all over the world.

Especially since he even robbed the wife of King Cao Pi of Wei, and even touched her directly in front of her husband a few days ago.

It can be said that he is a tauren among tauren!
However.
He was in Nanzhong, he was in Jingzhou, and now he is in Runan. He won almost every battle, and countless famous generals were defeated by him.

Now, Cao Pi, the new king of Wei, has also suffered under his hand. Since he came to the throne, Xuzhou has disobeyed and Hefei has been lost. Now it seems that Runan cannot be saved.

In the future of this world, it seems that there is a high probability that someone with the surname Cao will not be there anymore.

It has to be Liu!
The destiny is in Han, the destiny is in Liu!

It seems that Yan Han's luck has not yet resolved.

"The Wei army has been in Runan for a long time. I estimate that in three days, its main force will leave Runan and head towards Luoyang. After that, I will send troops to conquer the cities in Runan."

As soon as Liu Chan said these words, everyone here couldn't help but sit up straight.

Everyone came here to meet Liu Chan, naturally to leave a good impression on Liu Chan.

If Runan is controlled by Liu Chan in the future, they will also be reused.

Judging from the available intelligence, it is certain that Runan fell into the hands of the Crown Prince of Hanzhong.

Then the next step is to divide the interests of Runan County.

Who can get more benefits from dividing Runan?
Many people are starting to gear up.

Previously, the Runan nobles were suppressed by Cao Wei and could not be reused. Now that they have a new eldest brother, they can finally realize their ambitions?
"However, even though the main force of the Wei army has left, there will still be a few Wei soldiers stationed in various cities in Runan. If we don't station troops, wouldn't we really hand over Runan to me?"

Liu Chan looked around everyone, his meaning self-evident.

As a staunch supporter of Liu Chan, Runan Biejia Yin Shou immediately stood up and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, my subordinates will conquer those who are disobedient in Runan for Your Highness!"

Yin Shou's face was red and his fists were clenched.

Now he is Runan Biejia. If he takes a step forward, wouldn't he be Runan's prefect?

As long as you can make more contributions, it's not impossible.

Now that Li Ji has been deprived of his position as the governor of Runan, the temptation of this position to the Runan nobles is too strong.

"I, the Runan Zhou family, have some connections in Xincai, and may be able to help His Highness conquer Xincai."

The position of chief bookkeeper is still too low for Zhou Ren.

If he achieves meritorious service in pacifying Runan, he may not be able to go higher.

After Yin Shou and Zhou Ren expressed their stance, the others stood up one after another.

The representative of the Runan Cheng family stepped forward and said: "If your highness wants to capture Nanton City, I can also help you."

Even Runan Heshi's eyes began to twinkle.

Hexia was indeed reused in the Wei state.

But it's just a reconciliation.

If we can hug the thigh of the Hanzhong Crown Prince tightly at this moment, one, or even many, Hanzhongs may be able to reconcile in the clan in the future.

If Runan was occupied by the crown prince of Hanzhong, could the Runan He family still be able to move away?

After thinking about it, the representative of the Runan He clan also stood up.

"If His Highness wants to attack Xiping, I, the Runan He clan, can also help His Highness."

These people made a gesture in front, and the others stepped forward to express their opinions.

This is going to carve up Runan. If we don’t show it now, when will we show it?

Liu Chan was very satisfied with the reaction of the Runan nobles.

He nodded slightly and said: "I know what you all mean! But..."

Liu Chan frowned at the right time, and seemed to have a bitter look on his face.

"If you have any concerns, Your Highness, you might as well speak up."

Zhou Ren seemed to understand something and immediately took care of Liu Chan.

"I only hate financial resources. Oh no, there is not enough food and grass!"

Liu Chan sighed and said: "There is no food in Jingzhou, and there is not much food and grass available in Runan. Not long ago, I transferred tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from Jingzhou. Now the army is also short of food!"

In fact, Liu Chan only transferred more than [-] troops to Jingzhou.

But you must start blowing.

The meaning of Liu Chan's words is very clear: make money!

"In the martial arts hall, many children of the gentry have been recruited, many of whom are talented scholars who can serve as officials, but"

Liu Chan looked at everyone playfully, but did not say the next words.

We are all adults and smart people, so we naturally understand what Liu Chan means.

If you want to be an official in Runan, if you want to recreate the style of the Runan gentry back then, how can you do it without any bloodshed?

After the representative of the Runan He clan deliberated for a moment, he immediately stood up and said, "Your Highness, I, the Runan He clan, can provide [-] hu of grain to meet your Highness' urgent need!"

The powers are baht, liang, jin, jun, and stone... The system of the five powers is established by righteousness and by the material jun.

Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, they have been decimal.

That is, one hu = 10 buckets, and 1 bucket = 10 liters.

Thirty thousand bushels of grain is actually a lot. I am afraid that among the Runan noble clan, only the Runan He clan has such a fortune.

"I, the Yin clan of Runan, are willing to provide food for the whole clan!"

Yin Shou knew that his family was not big and his grain reserves were not much. A donation of [-] to [-] grains was the limit.

So I donated it all to gain a reputation.

After all, even if it were all donated, it wouldn’t amount to [-] hu of grain. But after hearing this, wouldn’t His Highness be more impressed?

"I, the Zhou clan of Runan, are also willing to provide all the food for the whole clan!"

Zhou Ren also expressed his stance.

"I, the Wu family of Runan, would like to donate [-] grains of dendrobium to meet your highness' urgent need."

Since the cake is to be divided, it is natural that some blood must be paid first.

As for Cao Pi now having no food, why can't he requisition food from the nobles?

the reason is simple.

The grain of the nobles is placed in the Wubao. If you want to get it, you have to get their consent, otherwise you have to send troops to attack.

Official positions are not given to nobles, benefits are not given to them, and food and grass are required to go bankrupt?

Who would?
If the matter of forcibly confiscating the food of the noble clans really comes out, I am afraid that Liu Chan will not need to take action. Those Runan noble clans and children of Runan will directly rise up and rebel against Cao Pi.

As for Liu Chan, he was willing to give some of the big cake of Runan to the local gentry in Runan, and also gave them the opportunity to enter the upper echelons of Han China.

In this way, they are naturally willing to provide money, food and people.

"That's very good. I will record all your meritorious deeds in the book. When Runan is pacified, I will recount your merits for you!"

Liu Chan stood up holding the wine bottle and said loudly: "Come on, everyone, drink this cup and go meet the thief Cao for a while!"

Do you still dare to attack my news?
Come whenever you want
But if you want to leave, it’s not that easy!
