The God of War in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 308 Continue to Temptation
Chen Ran took another deep look at the prefect of Wu Jun. The prefect of Wu Jun only felt his heart tremble slightly, so he lowered his head.

Chen Ran added with a smile: "Honshu Mu already has some ideas about this matter."

"Your Majesty ordered the governor to supervise the military and political affairs of Yangzhou. I would like to transfer the army to Jiujiang and let the local pastor take charge of it. The local pastor can guarantee that all the thieves in Yangzhou will be wiped out, so that the people of Yangzhou can live and work in peace and contentment!" Chen Ran said. But the corners of everyone's mouths raised slightly inadvertently, and they smiled strangely.

As soon as Chen Ran's words came out, as expected, he was completely silent.Several sheriffs lowered their heads, expressing silence.

Chen Ran chuckled: "Do you think there are any difficulties or problems? If so, why don't you bring them up together!"

The eyes of the prefect of Wujun flickered for a while, and even looking at Chen Ran, he didn't dare to appear too arrogant, but said rather worriedly: "If all the soldiers from the counties are transferred to Jiujiang, wouldn't the counties have no resistance at all? The thieves come to commit crimes, so what should you think should be done?"

"Good question. What Benzhou Mu said was not to transfer all the troops from the counties to Jiujiang, but to keep a thousand troops in the county and a hundred in each city, which is enough for daily use. As for the thieves, Benzhou Mu has his own way." Chen Ran was arguing, but it seemed that he was arguing for a very reasonable reason.

Chen Ran's words were obviously not convincing, and the prefect of Wu County was still not reconciled. In a county, if it was true what Chen Ran said, the army that came down from that county would only have a few thousand people.

What they were worried about was not the so-called thief, but Chen Ran.If Chen Ran had mobilized troops at that time, wouldn't they all have given away their heads?This is something that the prefect of Wujun cannot tolerate.

The prefect of Wujun shook his head and said: "What you said is absurd. If there are only this kind of people stationed in such a big county, wouldn't it be an opportunity for thieves to take advantage of?"

However, Wu County is one of the counties that is in relatively good condition.

Chen Ran smiled and asked: "Originally, there were no more than a thousand troops in a county, and it's not a frontier county, so it must have tens of thousands? How many soldiers and horses does Wu County have now?"

Chen Ran's question immediately caught the prefect of Wu County a little off guard. He didn't expect Chen Ran to come up with such a move.This is indeed the case. According to common sense, it is impossible for an inland county to have so many soldiers and horses.

The soldiers and horses under the command of the prefect of Wu County all expanded by taking advantage of the opportunity of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.At this time, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is something wrong with the rule of the big man.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion was an opportunity.It was an uprising that swept the country.Once such an uprising occurs in a certain dynasty, it is not far from being destroyed.

They need to accumulate chips and wait for opportunities.How could the prefect of Wu County be like this? He just handed over the chips in his hand.He is the representative elected by the Wujun family.

He naturally represented Wu Jun's interests, could Chen Ran bring benefits to them?On the contrary, they felt that Chen Ran was from the perspective of a commoner.Because they knew that Chen Ran came from a grassroots background.

This is a class issue, they cannot trust Chen Ran.In fact, it is impossible for Chen Ran to believe them. Under Chen Ran's land, the demise of the family is only a matter of time.

Chen Ran's question made the prefect of Wu County speechless for an instant, but his pupils shrank slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Chen Ran smiled. He knew that he could not continue to force him any longer, so he said: "You don't have to worry about it. This matter is just the suggestion of Benzhou Mu. If you don't want to, then let's do it!" Chen Ran Appears very democratic.

Chen Ran's words stunned the prefect of Wu Jun. He was still thinking that he should deal with Chen Ran's difficulties now, but he didn't expect Chen Ran to bypass this topic so lightly.

While the prefect of Wu Jun breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt a little worried. What exactly is Chen Ran going to do?
Chen Ran is not ready to tear his face so quickly, it is just a test to put it bluntly.In fact, he couldn't fully mobilize soldiers from all counties, because as the prefect of Wu County said, defensive strength is very important.

It's not a time of peace and prosperity.

But for Chen Ran, if the army wants to be stationed, it is necessary for Chen Ran to send reliable people, so that he can fully control it. Relying on others is not Chen Ran's habit.

Chen Ran just wanted to test everyone's reaction, but what was unexpected was that only the prefect of Wu County came out to make troubles, while the other four frowned, not knowing what they were thinking about.

Then something unexpected happened.

"As the envoy said, the humble official quite agrees with the envoy's actions. If the soldiers of Yangzhou can be concentrated in the envoy's hands, so that the envoy's prestige can be used, the bandits and bandits in Yangzhou will surely be wiped out, and the people will be restored." The prefect of Lujiang, with a serious face, speaks righteously.

Chen Ran was stunned, this is really something he didn't expect, someone would agree with him, and said it so directly.

Then the prefect of Danyang also cupped his hands and said: "That's right. If there are so many soldiers in the counties, what's the use of it? It's more convenient if the envoys are in charge!"

Obviously, the prefect of Lujiang and the prefect of Danyang reached a consensus on this matter.Chen Ran smiled wryly in his heart, he was really helpless, he didn't intend to really transfer the army from the county, he didn't expect these two people to be so condescending.

Chen Ran touched his chin, completely subconsciously.He squinted and noticed that the prefect of Wu Jun had an ugly expression on his face.

While Chen Ran was thinking, the prefects of Yuzhang and Kuaiji also bowed their hands to Chen Ran and said: "What you two said is true, we also intend to transfer the army to the envoy, but now there is a problem. "

Chen Ran blinked, he knew.

The prefect of Kuaiji said: "If you talk about the counties in Yangzhou, I, Kuaiji and Yuzhang, are the most chaotic. The people of Shanyue don't obey discipline. If there is no army stationed, there will be more disasters."

Chen Ran showed a clear look, and said: "It's natural, the second army of Kuaiji Yuzhang, the army must not be lost, but I don't know when, Shanyue will be able to rest in peace."

The prefect of Kuaiji and the prefect of Yuzhang looked at each other, and said decisively: "If the envoy can calm down the chaos in Shanyue, what's the point of handing over the army to the envoy?"

Chen Ran and them looked at each other, well, very determined, at least in Chen Ran's view, what they said was not false.

He thought, in fact, not everyone has bad intentions.The prefect of Yuzhang and the prefect of Kuaiji really wanted to solve the chaos in Shanyue.

This Shanyue is a scourge, not only makes the common people sad, but also officials like them. If they don’t have enough achievements, they won’t be able to get promoted.

In the opinion of the two, it is better to be more decisive and let Chen Ran solve Shanyue, and they will be happy and relaxed.In Kuaiji County and Yuzhang County, the power of the aristocratic family is not good, and it has no influence on them. They can do things according to their own ideas.

Even if he obeyed Chen Ran's orders, he couldn't be worse off.
