"You really don't want to rebel, do you?"

……

That night, when the banquet was over and everyone left, Tao Qian did not go home with everyone, but found Zhang Yan alone.

The first sentence the two met, he almost choked Zhang Yan to death.

……

"Um, Mr. Tao, what are you talking about? We are all courtiers, and the Holy One is kind to me. Why should I rebel when I have nothing to do?"

Quickly explaining to the other party out loud, Zhang Yan broke out in a cold sweat for a while.

Indeed, he had no intention of actively rebelling, but knowing the future direction of the world, he subconsciously made many actions to prevent the incipient development.

If it was really taken seriously, it might indeed cause him some trouble.

……

"Oh, I hope so..."

He threw a word to Zhang Yan coldly, and then Tao Qian left with a complicated face.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but looked at Zhang Yan several times, as if he wanted to see something from the other's face.

It's a pity that what he said before has already made Zhang Yan vigilant.

In the subsequent exchanges, he did not raise any violent remarks, for fear that Tao Qian would have some misunderstandings.

Until the other party left, Zhang Yan still couldn't remember it.

……

"Could it be that I really want to rebel subconsciously?"

"Hehe, I must be overthinking..."

……

In this way, after everyone was invited to come to Lujiang, the first group meeting ended like this.

In the process, Zhang Yan also got what he wanted.

During this meeting, everyone agreed to form a business alliance with six counties including Lujiang County of Yangzhou Governor's Department, Jibei Kingdom of Yanzhou Governor's Department, Shanyang County, Dong County, Xuzhou Governor's Department of Guangling County, and Qingzhou Governor's Department of Beihai County, and to reduce and exempt each other. commodity tariffs.

In addition, everyone also agreed to synchronize offense and defense to overcome difficulties together.When any one of the people is invaded by outsiders, all members of the entire alliance must take the initiative to participate in the battle, otherwise they will be attacked by everyone.

As for some specific business arrangements, such as which goods will be exempted from tariffs, how much will be exempted, and what difficulties have encountered in various places recently, and whether they need assistance from everyone, each will send representatives to meet in Lujiang County, which is located in the central area, every month. Meeting together to decide.

According to the results of this discussion, Zhang Yan needed to communicate with Sun Jian afterwards, and inform the other party of all these matters, so as to bring Changsha County, where the other party was located, into the alliance.

As for the remaining one, Tao Qian...

Zhang Yan didn't know why, although Tao Qian seemed to be full of doubts and fears towards him now, he still took the initiative to express his willingness to join the alliance, and would help everyone try to persuade the entire Xuzhou county to join in.

……

In this way, a simple eight-member alliance was quietly established in the eastern part of China without the knowledge of outsiders.

This is also the first large-scale alliance formed with the economy as the link and the military as the help in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty. It can be regarded as another kick in the already weak imperial power of the Han Dynasty.

……

……

……

"A joint mutual insurance agreement for the eight counties in the southeast?"

"Haha...however this name sounds...a familiar smell."

The next day, Zhang Yan was not idle.After Sun Jian came to visit...or to say thank you, he told Sun Jian everything that happened yesterday.

And Sun Jian naturally agreed to this matter at once, and became the last member of the eight-county joint mutual protection agreement.

Just kidding, Zhang Yan's decision can be said to have solved his urgent need - before that, he had been so disturbed by the serious food problem that he couldn't sleep.

Now that he has the support of several large production counties in the north, let alone helping to fight a dozen Qingzhou thieves, even if he is asked to lead troops north to surprise Xianbei, Huns, Jiankun and other countries, he will not do such things. not come out.

……

Excitedly, he stamped his private and official seals on the agreement. After this incident, Sun Jian's favor towards Zhang Yan immediately improved a lot.

First, he invited himself to participate in the military parade, and then he took advantage of some small conflicts between the two families to help Sun Jian to dampen Sun Ce's spirit, so that Sun Ce was no longer as impulsive as before.

Until now, his most troublesome food problem was actually solved by Zhang Yan, which made Sun Jian grateful to Zhang Yan from the bottom of his heart.

He even secretly made up his mind that if he sent troops to the north to suppress the bandits this time, he would definitely bring back as many prisoners of war as possible, and treat them as gifts to Zhang Yan.

……

"In this way, Xuzhou can be regarded as saved?"

"I got the population, and Qingzhou and Yanzhou got the army."

"Changsha, who was about to starve to death, got food, but Tao Qian..."

"Tao Qian is barely safe."

"If Cao Cao really chooses to attack Xuzhou, we will have enough reasons to intervene in Xuzhou."

……

On the second night, Zhang Yan was wearing a thin coat, sitting at the table and constantly writing something.

The night is already very dark now, but he still didn't rest, but kept sorting out the major events that will happen in the Huaxia region in his mind in the next period of time.

It goes without saying that He Jin was killed by Shi Changshi and Dong Zhuo went to Beijing.

He had already made preparations early on, whether it was the troops or food in his hands, it was enough to support him to fully participate in the future princes' negotiating board.

And after the feudal lords challenge Dong, in the next ten years, the whole of China will no longer have time for him to develop slowly.

……

In 191 A.D., the allied armies of the feudal lords failed to defeat Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo enfeoffed the eighteen princes of the Guandong Route.

In 192 AD, the Huns were in civil strife, and Cao Cao defeated the brothers Yu Fuluo and Huchuquan, the leaders of the Youxian court.In April of the same year, Dong Zhuo was killed by Wang Yun's design, and Cai Yong died tragically in prison. In June, Dong Zhuo's troops attacked Chang'an with Li Que and Guo Si, Wang Yun died under the city gate, and there was civil strife in Guanzhong.

Beginning in 193 AD, the princes in Guanzhong were in civil strife. Cao Cao was completely disappointed with the Eastern Han regime and returned to Chenliu to carry out his troops. In the following four years, he sent troops to Xuzhou three times, attacking Qingzhou and Xuzhou and killing millions of soldiers.

From 194 A.D., the Court of Youxian King of the Xiongnu declined, and the court of King Zuoxian went south to graze horses. The people in Guanzhong were killed and injured countless times, and Cai Yan, a talented woman, was looted for 12 years.

From 195 AD, Emperor Xian returned to Luoyang, and then moved to Xudu with the help of Cao Cao, and the civil war among the princes took shape.

In 196 A.D., Lu Bu came to rule Xuzhou, Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty, was driven to Xiaopei, and then fled to Jingzhou area during the war.

In 197 AD, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, Sun, Liu, Cao, and Lu joined forces to attack Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu was defeated.

In 198 AD, Cao Cao conquered Zhang Xiu and Lu Bu, and Lu Bu died in battle the following spring...

In 199 AD, Yuan Shu died in battle in the southern battlefield, Gongsun Zan died in battle in the northern battlefield, and Yuan Shao's family dominated...

In 200 A.D., Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong, and the whole Han Dynasty was divided into Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou in the south, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the north faced each other across the river. The battle of Guandu was imminent...

……

It can be said that the next ten years of Huaxia will be super-accelerated ten years. The land of Huaxia is like raising Gu, and the princes conquer each other. For fear of missing the opportunity, it will be difficult to gain momentum.

In Zhang Yan's eyes, a great hero like Liu Bei failed to succeed in the end precisely because he missed the most important ten years of China's power integration.

……

When the Battle of Chibi was over, the Shu Han was able to form a three-point form of the world, which was Zhuge Liang's performance to turn the tide.

……

"Husband, are you still asleep?"

Yawning a little tiredly, Zhang Yan suddenly heard light footsteps behind him.

Looking back, it was Qiao Ying who was wrapped in an obscene dress, walking towards him with a blanket in her arms.

……

"Well, there are still some things to be busy."

"Recently, I always feel inexplicably panicked, so I want to check again to see if there are any things that haven't been prepared yet."

And Qiao Ying didn't speak when she saw this.

She just put the blanket on Zhang Yan's body, and then the whole person squeezed forward and shrank into Zhang Yan's arms.

……

"Is this what your husband is worrying about?"

"Any predictions for the next ten years?"

……

Leaning on Zhang Yan's chest, due to the height difference between the two, Qiao Ying could barely reach Zhang Yan's chin even though she was sitting.

Picking up the densely packed paper on the table, Qiao Ying frowned and looked at it for a while, then asked in a low voice.

"Well, it's kind of...prediction."

"However, because I have made some preparations in advance, some things may not happen, and some things may not happen at the corresponding time, which is a bit bad."

Gently tapping the opponent's shoulder with his chin, Zhang Yan buried his face in the opponent's hair and took a deep breath, exhaustion was written all over his face.

……

"Ying'er, to be honest, I am very confident in the analysis of the future situation, but because I am too confident, I will subconsciously make some preparations."

"In contrast, the more I prepare, the greater the impact on the future situation. It is very likely that the future will not develop in the direction I expected."

"Honestly, it made me anxious."

……

Regarding the pile of things on the table, Zhang Yan naturally couldn't say what the so-called "original world line" was, and could only attribute it to his own prediction of future development.

And Qiaoying didn't speak for a long while.

Just when Zhang Yan thought the girl was already asleep, she gently leaned back on Zhang Yan's shoulder, then turned her head and looked at the man behind her at a 45-degree angle.
