The God of War in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 246 The Land of Yangzhou
"What the Taoist said is true, my virtuous brother is indeed not an ordinary person!" Emperor Ling sighed sincerely.

He knows best about his own body, he probably won't last for a few years, but after taking the life extension pill, he seems to be more than ten years younger and return to a teenager.

After sighing again, Emperor Ling said: "The land of Gyeonggi is inconvenient after all. As a brother, let my virtuous brother be a shepherd in Yangzhou. Does my virtuous brother have any objections?"

Naturally, Chen Ran had no problem, he shook his head and replied, "Brother, don't worry, Yangzhou is exactly what I want."

Yangzhou at this moment is undoubtedly a remote place for the big man, but to Chen Ran, it is very different.It is not in Chen Ran's character to give up this treasure land because Yangzhou is not developed and the economy is backward.

Yangzhou is today's Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Fujian and other places. It seems barren, but in fact, if it can be used, it can produce unexpected gains.

Moreover, Yangzhou has a vast territory, several times larger than the wealthy states in the Central Plains.

Yangzhou's backwardness is only relatively speaking, it is difficult for others to develop, but for Chen Ran, it is much easier.Later generations, the south has always been known as the granary of the world.

However, because the cultivation technology in the south is backward, and rice cultivation has not yet been promoted.In the south, it is natural to grow rice.

As long as Chen Ran can solve the food problem, everything will be solved.After all, in today's era, food is the top priority.With enough food, it cannot be said that success is guaranteed, but at least half of the success is achieved.

According to Chen Ran's thinking, if Yangzhou is to be used as a base, money will be indispensable if one wants to develop one's own strength and prepare for future hegemony.

However, Chen Ran has the bug of a time traveler, so if he wants to make money, it can't be easier.As long as Chen Ran is willing to think about it, it is not difficult to make some money in this era.

Moreover, Yangzhou is far away from the Central Plains. Sometimes this seems to be a disadvantage, but it is actually an advantage.

Historically, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the heroes fought for hegemony. Their main battlefield was not in the south, but in the northern Central Plains. Only after they decided the victory would they open their teeth and claws to the south.

This is exactly what Chen Ran wanted, so that he would have enough time to recuperate, improve his strength, and train soldiers.

All in all, Chen Ran is very satisfied with Lingdi's decision.

Emperor Ling breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know what Chen Ran thought of, but since Chen Ran didn't mind, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and said calmly: "It's best if you don't give up, my brother."

"In my brother's opinion, it's almost the new year now, my virtuous brother will celebrate the new year, don't procrastinate, start early, don't make more troubles." Lingdi said with some worry, to be honest, Lingdi himself Trapped in the shadows, naturally very insecure.

Chen Ran nodded slightly, in fact he thought so too.

Emperor Ling said again: "When my virtuous brother departs, make arrangements for the Brotherhood. You don't have to worry about it."

Chen Ran knew what Emperor Ling was referring to, but he didn't say it clearly.

"There are still soldiers under the virtuous brother's command. They can be taken away as much as possible. It is useless to stay in Luoyang City." Lingdi thought for a while and said with a slight frown.

"Kill the Divine Army? Huang Zhong and others are fine?" Chen Ran was a little surprised, and he was also a little uncertain about Lingdi's thoughts.

Emperor Ling nodded, and said: "The Killing God Army is originally a soldier trained by the virtuous brother. If so, it should be used to the best of its ability. Only under the command of the virtuous brother can the Killing God Army display its combat power."

"As for Huang Zhong and other generals, they were originally your subordinates, my virtuous brother, and they were taken to Yangzhou together." Emperor Ling frowned, as if thinking of something, his face darkened, and said: "Yangzhou may not be peaceful, my virtuous brother will Take your subordinates to Yangzhou together, and save a lot of trouble."

Yangzhou is indeed not peaceful at the moment.However, Chen Ran didn't know whether Emperor Ling was referring to the Yangzhou rebellion, or the Yangzhou government's problem.

But since Emperor Ling had promised him that he could bring the Killing God Army and Huang Zhong to Yangzhou, Chen Ran was naturally overjoyed.With Generals such as Killing God Army and Huang Zhong, no matter what obstacles Yangzhou has, they will definitely be under his control.

Emperor Ling turned his gaze, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Brother, I heard that my brother is engaged to Cai Bojie's daughter, do you know if it is true or not?"

Chen Ran was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help being a little surprised. He didn't expect that even Lingdi knew about this matter, but Chen Ran also evaded it like that, and replied generously: "What brother said is right."

Lingdi smiled jokingly and said to Chen Ran: "I don't want my virtuous brother to make a marriage contract so early, I'm afraid that many women in Luoyang City will lose their minds and be disappointed by it."

The corners of Chen Ran's mouth couldn't help twitching, obviously he didn't expect Emperor Ling to tease him like this.Chen Ran hastily smiled wryly and shook his head, "Brother, you're being polite, I'm afraid Ran doesn't have such charm."

"My dear brother, don't underestimate yourself. He killed the enemy among thousands of troops and made meritorious service outside the Great Wall. He is young and handsome. He is really a young hero. Does anyone not like it?" Lingdi said seriously.

"It's really like the champion of the past, unparalleled in the world! I am afraid that in Luoyang City, countless nobles and officials want to marry their daughters to my virtuous brother, but they are heartbroken when they hear that virtuous brother has a marriage contract? My virtuous brother is like this The man who is both civil and military, was killed first, so wouldn't it make the women in Luoyang lose their minds?" Lingdi talked eloquently, and what he said seemed to have some truth.

Chen Ran could only smile wryly. It wasn't his fault. Could it be a sin to be too good?

Emperor Ling flirted with Chen Ran, and the two chatted about some irrelevant things, but they were much more harmonious than before.After all, it was basically Lingdi's one-man show before, and Chen Ran looked very embarrassed.

It's still a bit embarrassing now, but it's much easier.

When the two stood up, Emperor Ling looked solemnly, looked at Chen Ran and said, "Zi Ling, I will entrust this matter to you."

At this moment, Emperor Ling directly called Chen Ran's name, which seemed much more formal and serious.

Chen Ran also nodded solemnly, and replied: "Chen Ran will always remember what my brother said."

The two went out of the secret way and came to the Chongde Hall again.

Emperor Yuzhen Jue is still in the secret room, Lingdi will hand it over to Chen Ran when Chen Ran leaves.

Chen Ran bid farewell to Emperor Ling and left, walking out of Chongde Hall as if nothing had happened.

After leaving the palace, the melancholy in Chen Ran's heart gradually surfaced.

When Emperor Ling mentioned his marriage contract with Cai Yan, Chen Ran suddenly thought of another woman.It's not that he only has that woman in his heart but not Cai Yan.

But the twists and turns made people feel more and more heavy.Since we first met in Luoyang, we met again in Yunzhong, but never thought that it would be parting again, and up to now, Chen Ran still doesn't know where Ren Hongchang is.

Sometimes Chen Ran would feel helpless, he couldn't even protect Ren Hongchang, if he really married Cai Yan, would he be able to protect his own woman?

After thinking about it, Chen Ran knew that it was time for him to visit the Cai Mansion.
