Chapter 127: The Great Confucianists have collapsed
Destroy the Chen family?
Chen Gong frowned slightly when he heard this. Families like the Wang family and the Li family will be destroyed as long as there is enough evidence. Judging from the situation in Xiapi County, the fall of the two local wealthy families has resulted in countless losses.
The people support it, but the Chen family is different from the Wang and Li families. The most famous families in Xuzhou have some relationship with the Chen family, not by blood, but by interests, either as disciples or disciples of Chen Gui, or as former officials of the Chen family.
If one thing goes wrong, the entire Xuzhou gentry may rebel collectively.
What Chu Nan did before has indeed shaken the foundation of the great gentry clan in Xuzhou. This can be seen from the talents of small families who have been coming to join Lu Bu recently. If there is enough time, it is completely possible to wait until these families are integrated and then attack the big clan.
With action, the powerful clan whose foundation was cut off had no power to fight back against Lu Bu, but now it was still a bit of a disaster when dealing with the Chen family!
Lu Bu was thinking about another thing. After killing the king this time, the Li family gained nearly a million farmland and were loved by the people of Xiapi. If the Chen family's father and son were killed and the Chen family was exterminated, wouldn't it mean that the entire Xuzhou people would lose it?
Will everyone support themselves?
In my mind, I couldn't help but imagine the scene where I would send troops in the future, and the people would send me tears in the streets, and they would also send grains and eggs as military supplies, but I would be politely declined.
"What's Zi Yan's plan?" Lu Bu looked at Chu Nan with burning eyes.
Chu Nan looked at his father-in-law. He was a little excited, but he didn't have any thoughts. He was just excited. What was he thinking? Why was he so excited when it came to destroying the Chen family? Could it be that his father-in-law had long been unhappy with the Chen family?
Already?
"The only thing I can think of now is to bring the Chen family and the Yuan family together. Only in this way can we reduce their reputation. Even if we send troops to attack the Chen family, others can't say anything, at least openly they can't stop us.
But it’s difficult.” Chu Nan thought.
You know, the Chen family and Yuan Shu have a grudge, and it would be difficult to tie them together.
After Chu Nan finished speaking, he looked at his teacher. As for his father-in-law... fighting was his strongest support, but when it came to making suggestions, his expertise was obviously not up to par.
"Have Ziyan ever heard of the false Taoist attack on Guo?" Chen Gongxiao asked.
Chu Nan nodded: "Teacher wants to borrow a way."
"Yes, as long as there is a war between Yuan and Cao, we will use Guangling as an excuse to attack Yuan Shu from the rear. If Chen Deng gives way, we will destroy him on the grounds that he intends to join forces with Cao Cao to sneak attack our army." Chen Gong nodded.
road.
"What if we don't allow it?" Chu Nan asked doubtfully, but then he realized what he was doing and said with a smile: "If you stop our army from attacking Yuan Shu, you will certainly die. It's just that the first one is a bit far-fetched."
You kill someone even if they give way to you? This is a bit unreasonable, and it is also difficult to hide it from everyone.
"If Cao Cao kills Yuan Shu, the next one will take action against Xuzhou, and... most people will believe it, but as for a few people..." Chen Gong smiled and did not continue.
The opinions of a few people will only be obscured in front of the majority. Therefore, the key point of this strategy is not how Chen Deng chooses, but how they can make the majority of people accept the statement that Chen Deng is a traitor in terms of public opinion.
This is a war of public opinion, but it is based on Lu Bu's growing reputation in Xuzhou. As the people of Xiapi support Lu Bu, this sense of recognition will become higher and higher. In addition, the Chen family is a wealthy family.
Regardless of whether it is illegal gains or not, it is a fact that the Chen family owns most of the land in Xuzhou. As long as they make a fuss about this matter, it can be done!
Chu Nan looked at Chen Gong with some surprise. In his impression, his teacher was an upright and upright Confucian, but his method was really dirty.
"What you do depends on your heart but not your actions. This is also Zi Yan's inspiration to my teacher. As long as you are doing good for the people, it doesn't matter if you are infamy? What Confucians like us should never seek is fame." It seems that he noticed the questioning eyes of his disciples.
, Chen Gong said calmly.
As long as I have a clear conscience, it's none of my business what other people think of me!?
Chu Nan can be sure that this is definitely not the Confucianism of Confucius. His teacher seems to be creating his own Confucianism.
"Teacher, thank you very much!" Chu Nan said sincerely. In his impression, when it comes to a great scholar, he must be a highly upright and holy saint. He would never come up with such insidious tactics. Now it seems that he has some influence on the great scholar.
misunderstanding.
"After entering the realm of Confucianism, you need to find your own way. Once you find it, you will go on unswervingly. As long as the way is correct, the means are just a formality." Chen Gong said calmly.
Why does this seem a bit evil?
Chu Nan felt a little awkward in his heart. It was like saying that there is no need to pay attention to etiquette, justice and shame when dealing with bad people. As long as he can be killed, all means are just. He felt that after his teacher entered the realm of Confucianism, his thoughts became a little extreme.
However, Chu Nan didn't know whether it was right or wrong for a while, so he let himself do it. After coming up with this strategy, he would most likely do what Chen Gong did, but he never claimed to be a good person and the embodiment of justice, but
Saying this to a great scholar, he feels like a villain.
"Disciple has another suggestion." Chu Nan suppressed his thoughts and thought: "Teacher, do you think we can take this opportunity to get some benefits from Yuan Shu?"
"Yuan Shu?" Chen Gong actually started to think about it.
On the other hand, Lu Bu frowned and said, "Since war has been declared, even if we don't fight for the time being, we are still enemies."
"Obviously, it is true, but our military strength is not as good as Yuan Shu's after all. You can tell Yuan Shu that we are helpless. The gentry in Xuzhou reacted strongly. The gentry headed by the Chen family strongly demanded that we send troops. My father-in-law also had no choice but to do so.
He had no choice but to abandon his friendship with Yuan Shu, and then informed Yuan Shu that Chen Deng was actively stationing troops because he was preparing to use troops against Yuan Shu!"
Chu Nan thought about Chen Gong's plan, looked at Lu Bu and said with a smile: "We promised Yuan Shu to help him get rid of Chen Deng, but we don't have enough food and grass here, so..." Chu Nan gave Lu Bu a look that you know.
"Ask Yuan Shu for more military rations?" Lu Bu was a self-taught man. He gradually understood his son-in-law's way of thinking. He just wanted money anyway: "Then the court... said that Chen Deng colluded with Yuan Shu. I
Wait until we send out troops to suppress them?"
"Father-in-law is wise!" Chu Nan nodded with a smile and took advantage of both sides. Chen Deng was Cao Cao's hidden trap in Xuzhou. He would be Lu Bu's thorn in the future, so he took the opportunity to get rid of him. Although it had little impact on Cao Cao,
But at least it can disgust him, and there will be no worries when the two sides fight in the future.
"This is just about military supplies. This time Yuan Shu has arrogated the title of emperor, but he has annihilated himself from the princes. Cao Cao's expedition, with Yuan Shu's current strength, may be difficult to resist." Chen Gong waved his hand and said: "There should be a map here!"
A map appeared out of thin air. Chen Gong drew it out of thin air and said: "We will take advantage of Yuan Shu's defeat to obtain the land of Jianghuai. If we obtain this place, we will have more chances of winning against Cao Cao in the future!"
Chu Nan looked at the map and put forward a different opinion: "After Cao Cao conquers Yuan Shu, I'm afraid he will immediately attack our army. Even if he wins this place, I'm afraid he won't have time to manage it."
Yuan Shu is really gone, and the two sides are completely bordering each other. By then, even if Cao Cao doesn't come to fight, Chu Nanjue's Lu Bu should attack. Lu Bu's generals mainly fight on horseback, and it is not suitable to defend the city. Attacking is the only way.
It's a royal saying. It's better to put the battlefield on Cao Cao's territory instead of Xuzhou. If Xuzhou, which he has managed for a long time, is destroyed by the war, Chu Nan will definitely feel distressed.
"No?" Chen Gong frowned, he still paid more attention to his disciple's words.
"Of course it is necessary, but when the time comes, we can send people to govern it. Before the decisive battle with Cao Cao, the disciples thought that the Jianghuai land can be defended. They can set up a bluff with troops, but if they want to fight, it is better to go to the Central Plains.
." Chu Nan shook his head and said: "What my disciple means is that compared to the Jianghuai land, Yuan Shu's men need to pay more attention to their talents, and try to capture as many as they can, so that they can be used by our army in the future."
Although there are no very powerful people under Yuan Shu, generals like Ji Ling are not bad. In fact, Ji Ling is stronger than most of the generals under Lu Bu. Well, judging from the force value in the game.
Chen Gong nodded and looked at Lu Bu: "What does Marquis Wen think?"
Lu Bu rubbed his chin and was listening with great interest. He was stunned when he was suddenly asked. He nodded and said, "What Zi Yan said makes sense. I will go and capture that Ji Ling myself."
There are just a few generals, it shouldn't be difficult if you take action yourself.
"One more thing, who is going to lobby Yuan Shu?" Chen Gong looked at Chu Nan and said with a smile.
"Teacher, what do you think of Zhang Hong?" Chu Nan asked with a smile.
"This man is quite famous, but he already hates Marquis Wen and Zi Yan so much that he is not willing to serve Marquis Wen." Chen Gong frowned.
Zhang Hong is now in Princess Xiapi's prison. How can Chu Nan deal with him? I have told Chen Gong and Lu Bu before. I am afraid that this man has hatred towards Lu Bu and Chu Nan at the moment. How can he really help?
"Everyone has weaknesses. I have moved his family to Xiapi to take care of him." Chu Nan felt that the three of them now looked like the villains in Shuang's novel. They all used insidious and vicious moves. Although these moves were poisonous, they were still
This technique is effective when no one is available. Since Zhang Hong has value, why not use it?
"It's inappropriate to hold your wife and children hostage." Lu Bu frowned slightly.
Chu Nan glanced at Lu Bu. Among the three, the most upright person was actually his father-in-law?
Illusion.
Chu Nan shook his head and said: "If he is sincere in doing things, why worry about this? My father-in-law does not kill innocent people indiscriminately, but if he takes his father-in-law's salary and makes enemies of his father-in-law everywhere, this crime will be punished by his nine clans."
It’s not an exaggeration, father-in-law, you must not have the intention to harm others, but you must have the intention to guard against others.”
[Zi Yan can always say something that has never been heard before but makes sense]
Lu Bu chewed Chu Nan's words and nodded unconsciously: "What Zi Yan said does make some sense. Let's let Zhang Hong give it a try. Gongtai, please first write out an appeal to the thieves and send it to all the princes in the world."
Chen Gong nodded: "Okay."
At that moment, the master and the apprentice stood up to say goodbye and went about their own business...
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Although it is not on time, it is still out in the middle of the night. I am not carrying a beard, but I suddenly relaxed today. The feeling is really hard to describe, and I can't get excited. In addition, I recommended a meal yesterday, so it is difficult to refuse if I call today.
I went out for a trip, so... I feel ashamed. I have become accustomed to apologizing in the past two days.
