Xiapi County has indeed begun to be in chaos. After Chu Nan directly dismissed several old county magistrates due to his incompetence in handling affairs, those county magistrates promoted by Chu Nan naturally understood what Chu Nan meant. I can give you benefits, but the condition is
I am asking you to do things, not asking you to do things to me!
Although the county magistrate usually looks gentle and amiable, these new magistrates have seen Chu Nan's thunderous methods under the gentle appearance. The murder of the Wang family, the murder of the entire Li family, Zhang Hong, who ran a little slower, and now
The whole family is under Chu Nan's control, and life or death is not up to him.
Moreover, doing things with Chu Nan was not without its benefits, so he immediately gave up the method of making peace with the mud and immediately ordered people to start surveying the land.
Although Chu Nan's method was simple, it hit the nobles' weak spots directly, and hit them to death. In just two days, hundreds of riots broke out.
And this time is different from the last time. These nobles are obviously prepared. They have passed the Qi secretly. If the family is in trouble, they have support from all sides, and they are ready to overturn the table.
However, as Wei Yue led eight hundred county soldiers to join the battlefield, the tens of thousands of troops prepared by the nobles were killed by Wei Yue in the first battle.
"Young master, you don't know. I led eight hundred elites and killed eight times in the chaos. Hey, among these thieves, there was actually a general who was in charge of the army. It's a pity that they were just a ragtag group of people who couldn't form a fighting formation at all. They were
I will kill him with my own hands!" Wei Yue, who returned to Xiapi, came directly to Chu Nan to report his merits.
After all, eight hundred versus ten thousand, a complete victory, he has reason to be proud.
The emergence of battle formations and extraordinary generals has also expanded the role of military generals, and the market for rabble-rousers has become smaller and smaller.
If there were no extraordinary military generals, the ragtag group could still fight a smooth battle. If there was a powerful general, they might be able to make a comeback. However, the ragtag group obviously could not form a battle formation. When facing the elite troops commanded by the generals, they would not be able to defeat the enemy.
Even a large mob can't change the outcome.
Just like now, Wei Yue is just an ordinary general with average ability, but he led 800 troops and defeated tens of thousands of people head-on with almost no cost of injury. In this era, it is really difficult for numbers to become an advantage and determine victory.
Negative key.
"Their counterattack shouldn't be so fragile." Chu Nan frowned.
"Of course not. A few Confucian scholars used their magical powers to turn a piece of land into a swamp, trying to trap us in it." Wei Yue said excitedly: "Sir, do you think how I resolved it?"
Chu Nan looked at him quietly and said nothing.
After being silent for a long time, Wei Yue said anxiously: "The last general not only understood the weak water formation before the battle, but also changed the formation before the battle. In the past, only General Gao could do this."
It is not easy to change formations during a battle, even if the opponent is a mob. After all, the process of changing formations is a process of reorganization of military formations. Not to mention the commanding ability, even if it is very good, the effect of the formation will disappear the moment the original battle formation is broken.
It is also very dangerous. If someone takes advantage of it, there will be no chance to form the next battle formation.
Wei Yue did not expect that he would be able to change the formation at the last minute. The situation at that time was extremely dangerous. Once the change of formation failed, their entire army might be annihilated and trapped in the swamp and suffocated to death. Even if Wei Yue broke out with his own ability,
But for Xiapi, this battle is indeed crucial.
Chu Nan looked at the water bowl in his hand and fell into silence.
Well……
Seeing Chu Nan's appearance, Wei Yue felt nervous for no reason. According to his understanding of Chu Nan, if he was so flamboyant, usually what Chu Nan would say next would definitely be very heartbreaking. Am I too crazy? After all,
To be able to achieve this step, Chu Nan's military flags are the key. It seems that he has nothing to be proud of.
Thinking of this, Wei Yue smiled dryly and said: "Of course, we can win this battle all thanks to what the young master gave us..."
"No, winning this battle has nothing to do with me. They did a good job. They should have secretly trained their soldiers to be brave, but they were too hasty and failed to form an army. The credit for this battle is yours." Chu Nan shook his head and smiled.
We can't just have this team, we need more. We will go to Lu Bu tomorrow to help strengthen him, and then Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.
Well……
Wei Yue looked at Chu Nan in disbelief.
[Young Master unexpectedly praised me uncharacteristically!? Nothing bad is going to happen, right? 】
Chu Nan: "..."
Is this person a bitch?
Just as he was about to say something, an official came in hurriedly and saluted Chu Nan: "The three generals, Mr. Fu, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and Song Xian, would like to see you."
"Please come quickly." The appearance of the official interrupted the exchange between the two, and Chu Nan stood up and said.
He had worked together with Hou Cheng for a while, and he didn't have much interaction with Wei Xu and Song Xian. What were these three people here for?
Wei Yue said with some embarrassment: "Master, um... I also told them about the victory."
Seeing Chu Nan's look, Wei Yue said quickly: "They are asking about the former Paoze after all, so I can't refuse."
"Who else did you tell him?" Chu Nan looked at him expressionlessly.
"There are also Cao Xing, Cheng Lian and..." Wei Yue said a long list of names. Seeing Chu Nan's face gradually darkening, Wei Yue's voice became lower and lower.
Chu Nan: "..."
How long has it been, are you reincarnated as a trumpet? Did you choose the wrong talent? A long tongue is your greatest talent!
Without scolding him, Hou Cheng and the others had already arrived. They were still at the door. Hou Cheng laughed and said, "Brother Ziyan, I haven't seen you for several months. I am really worried about you!"
Hou Cheng stayed in the military camp every day and was not in the city, so naturally he couldn't see Chu Nan.
"General Hou, General Wei, and General Song are polite." Chu Nan stood up and saluted the three of them.
"What a big egg!" Hou Cheng stared at the big egg in the yard, a little surprised: "What kind of monster's egg is this? It's so huge. When did such a monster appear in Xuzhou?"
Generally, powerful monsters are found in sparsely populated areas, such as plain areas like Xuzhou, where monsters generally do not come.
Just looking at the size of the egg, you can imagine how terrifying this monster is. Hou Cheng said nervously: "Zi Yan, this... you can't mess with this. If you attract the big guys, a city may be wiped out in an instant."
"Don't worry, it's just like the demon ants and demon mantises." Chu Nan pointed to the demon ants and demon mantises on his shoulders.
After hearing this, Hou Cheng looked at the two monsters on Chu Nan's shoulders and fell silent. He had seen the power of Chu Nan's monsters. He hesitated, looked at Chu Nan and said, "I have a dog at home..."
"General, are you here for this matter?" Chu Nan interrupted.
What do you think you are?
"Uh..." Hou Cheng shook his head, glanced at Wei Yue jealously and said, "I heard from Wei Yue that Zi Yan added a lot of things to his army. I still keep the marching order flag that Zi Yan gave me in the past. After all,
This is the fate for you and me to get to know each other. Don’t we know each other before we fight? In my heart, I have great admiration for Zi Yan. This..."
"I have been discussing with my father-in-law these past two days about the ordnance. We have mobilized the master craftsmen to work early overnight. Within a month, all armies will be equipped. General, don't be impatient, they will all be available." Chu Nan said with a smile.
"That's good. If you need anything, just ask Ziyan and we will do our best to help." Hou Cheng nodded with a smile.
"General, your words are serious. I will rely on you more in the future." Chu Nan smiled and nodded.
Just as he was about to say some polite words to send these people away, another official came over, bowed to Chu Nan and said: "Master Fu, General Cao Xing wants to see you."
"Please!" Chu Nan rubbed his temples and glared vaguely at Wei Yue, who was shrinking aside and reducing his presence.
After a while, Cao Xing came in and saluted Chu Nan: "Sir, long time no see."
The two parties cooperated very well last time in Ganyu. After that, Cao Xing stayed in Ganyu to take care of Haiyan. Later, as the scale of Haiyan became larger and larger, and with the help of the Mi family, the secret was also known, so naturally there was no need to specialize.
After the troops took care of it, Cao Xing returned to Xiapi.
"The general is also here for Wei Yue's weapons?" Chu Nan said with a smile. He is still very close to Cao Xing. He is very steady and doesn't talk much. When there is nothing wrong, he will not come out to provoke people like Wei Yue.
Disgusted.
"No, the general heard that banditry has been rampant in Xiapi recently, so he went to ask the lord if he needed help. The lord asked the general to lead a battalion of soldiers to come and listen to the master's orders." Cao Xing bowed.
After the words fell, several other people looked over.
[This Cao Xing usually keeps quiet, but his head turns quickly when something good happens!]
[A shameless person, for the sake of some benefits, actually lowers his status like this. I am ashamed to be associated with him!]
[I don’t know if Zi Yan still lacks people under him, but I say it’s his uncle no matter what. It’s not appropriate to serve under him. I’d better go find Ling Qi. I heard that Zi Yan and Ling Qi have a harmonious relationship and are inseparable. If
Lingqi told me that Ziyan should be the first to make the command flag for me.]
What is a smart person?
This is called a smart person. While others were still asking Chu Nan for help, Cao Xing had already gone to Lu Bu and directly applied to be under Chu Nan's command.
Although Chu Nan has said that everyone will eventually have it, there is a difference between closeness and distance. Just look at Wei Yue and you will know that Chu Nan will definitely use it from his own side first.
And it’s not just that. Look at Wei Yue. He was just a nobody before. How long has he been with Chu Nan now? He is already a captain. In terms of official position, he is not much worse than these generals. The most important thing is, what does Chu Nan have?
Good things should be given to Wei Yue first.
Everyone didn't believe that Cao Xing happened to feel that Chu Nan was short of people, so he went to Lu Bu to apply for help at this time, and he happened to be transferred over.
This kid is so thief!
"We are really lucky to have General Cao help us." Chu Nan smiled and nodded, looked at Wei Yue and said, "General Wei, go and help General Cao make arrangements."
"Here!" Wei Yue knew that he was in trouble and did not dare to hesitate at all when facing Chu Nan's order. He immediately agreed and left the office with Cao Xing as if fleeing, running to find a place for Cao Xing to camp.
After Chu Nan said a few polite words to everyone, everyone said goodbye and left knowingly.
"What should we do? He must have benefited Cao Xing first!" After leaving the office, Song Xian looked at Wei Xu.
"Then just wait a few days." Wei Xu said nonchalantly.
"It can only be like this." Hou Cheng sighed. When Chu Nan looked ordinary, it would have been nice if he had made friends with him like Cao Xing. Alas, who made him have no other advantages besides being handsome?
I don't even know how to speak now.
The three of them immediately prepared to go home. Song Xian frowned and looked at Wei Xu, who was running away from them, and said, "Where are you going?"
"Me?" Wei Xu pretended to be innocent and glanced at them and said, "We are busy with military affairs. I haven't seen Lingqi for a long time. I went to see her. After she got married, our uncle and nephew have not seen her yet. This person is older.
, it’s easy to get nostalgic, so you two should go back first, I’ll treat you two to a drink tonight!”
