"Sir, Liu Biao of Jingzhou has cut off trade with Xuzhou, should we also consider it?" Zhang Xiu's somewhat panicked heart suddenly calmed down when he saw Jia Xu's fat figure and his smile that had never disappeared.
, asked Jia Xu.
"What are you considering?" Jia Xu asked.
"Although I feel sorry for Zi Yan and the others, if we don't draw a clear line, I'm afraid we will be criticized by those big clans." Zhang Xiu smiled bitterly. It is not a secret that Nanyang and Lu Bu have established an alliance. The previous dispute between Jingzhou and Lu Bu
The alliance was still brokered by Zhang Xiu. Now Lu Bu is massacring the nobles in Xuzhou. Almost all the famous people in Xuzhou, except the Chen family, have been taken away. Zhang Xiu will definitely not be able to send troops to attack Lu Bu, but the Nanyang nobles refuse to fight with Lu Bu anymore.
conduct trade.
"If they don't want to join the trade with Xuzhou, they won't join. The general is just pulling the strings and not forcing anyone to join. It just makes room for those who are willing to join." The smile on Jia Xu's face never changed.
"How can anyone participate now?" Zhang Xiu shook his head.
"If no one participates, we can't do anything even if we want to continue. Then Marquis Wen can't blame us." Jia Xu said with a smile.
Two days later, Zhang Xiu came to Jia Xu with a strange look on his face: "Why is there so much?"
"The food is there, and some people won't eat it. Of course, some people will eat it. It's not poisonous. Although Liu Jingzhou was forced not to trade with Xuzhou, but you can see that he blocked the Han River?" Jia Xu drank the water leisurely.
"I'm also curious, why?" Zhang Xiu asked doubtfully.
Although it was clearly stated that they would no longer form an alliance with Lu Bu, the merchant ships from Nanyang to Xuzhou were not blocked. Instead, many merchant ships from Jingzhou ran there.
"I don't know, maybe this is human nature." Jia Xu still looked like he was smiling. No one knew what he was thinking under the smiling surface.
"Then I'll feel relieved." Zhang Xiu nodded. He never guessed what Jia Xu was thinking. There was no point in saying, "The world is in chaos now."
"Yeah." Jia Xu took a sip from the water bowl and nodded in agreement: "It's getting more and more interesting."
…
Xuzhou, Xiapi.
"It's enough to kill here." Chu Nan asked Lu Bu to summon the generals and said to them.
After killing more than 10,000 clansmen, the killings did not stop. All local forces that participated in these things will naturally be liquidated afterwards.
What happened this time sounds simple, and it seems not difficult to pacify it, but in fact it was a rebellion of 100,000 people. You must know that these 100,000 people also need to eat. How many people were involved in the money and food behind the army?
At that time, for the sake of the overall situation, we fought against the big clans. Now that the rebellion has been put down, it is natural to settle accounts in the future, so we have been collecting these things these days. You must know that this war does not sound big, but it almost covers the four counties of Xuzhou.
There are quite a lot of people in this land when it comes to liquidation.
"No, Zi Yan, there are a lot of things found here that have not been cleaned up!" Hou Cheng frowned.
"We can't continue the liquidation. Going too far is not enough. If the liquidation continues, Xuzhou will turn into a wasteland and everyone will be in danger. My efforts over the past few months will be in vain." Chu Nan shook his head and said.
"Why is this?" Wei Xu frowned and asked.
"The purpose of this liquidation is not to kill people and seize land, but to establish the Ministry of Punishment." Chu Nan knocked on the table: "This is one, and the other is to exclude dissidents and scare others. Now this level is just right.
, the Punishment Department has been established, and everyone is already in awe of the Lord, and if we continue to do so, it will be counterproductive."
"Then what we have found now..." Song Xian frowned.
"Give it to the county magistrates and ask them to burn these things in public. The matter ends here. The previous matters will be wiped out and will no longer be pursued. In this way, those who are lucky enough to escape will be grateful to the Lord. ." Chu Nan thought of something and smiled at Lu Bu and Chen Gong: "Master, what do you think, teacher?"
Lu Bu groped his chin and didn't answer. Chen Gong nodded and said, "Zi Yan behaves in a moderate manner, which is good."
"Just do what Zi Yan wants. All of you are generals. Don't look at the petty gains of those small tribes all day long. You should take a longer view and put people's livelihood first." Lu Bu coughed lightly and concluded. .
[Is this what the lord said?] Hou Cheng looked at Lu Bu blankly. This was really not what Lu Bu should say.
[Why did I feel so unwilling to be told this by my lord?] Wei Xu looked at Lu Bu, a little confused.
[I always feel like something is strange? I can’t put my finger on it.] Song Xian scratched his head.
"Now it seems that Lu Bu also has the style of a wise master." Mi Fang thought.
"What do you all look at me for?" Lu Bu felt that something was wrong with the way everyone looked at him, and frowned: "You don't understand what I said?"
"General, take your orders!" Everyone stood up quickly and said, "Let's do it now."
"Just send people there. They all go back to their camps. The war is coming. It's time to prepare for the war." Lu Bu waved his hand. The next step was to take action against the Chen family. As time went by, it was time for Zhang Hong to arrive at Yuan Shu's place.
"Here!" the generals agreed and stood up to leave.
"Father-in-law, it's time for Nan to handle official business." Chu Nan stood up and said with a smile.
"Go." Lu Bu looked at his son-in-law, the more he looked at him, the more he liked him, and nodded.
These days, Lu Bu's luck is getting stronger and stronger. As the governor of Xiapi, Chu Nan, with the support of all the people, has also made brave progress in Confucianism and Taoism. Now he no longer needs Chen Gong's help to fight against the madam's flames. This The result made Chu Nan very satisfied. Unfortunately, the power of the people was greatly reduced after it left Xiapi. Next, they attacked Guangling. They faced the Chen family and his son who also had the power of the people.
"Teacher, have you found anything wrong?" Chu Nan looked at Chen Gong and asked after leaving the Prefecture Mufu.
"What's wrong?" Chen Gong asked.
"In this battle, there are not many people with divine power." Chu Nan frowned.
Xuzhou was able to be pacified so quickly because each battalion had military flags and war drums strengthened by Chu Nan. The most important thing was that there were not many powerful people in the aristocratic families, and most of them were of the strength or speed type.
To Chu Nan before he met Lu Lingqi, things like the Awakening Pill were of course priceless. But for these big families, there are not many of them, but one or two per family is not too much. ?
But Chu Nan had someone record the number of supernatural beings who appeared on the battlefield this time. There were about fifty of them. Their abilities were variable, some were speed, some were strength, and their cultivation was average. This was for sure. The biggest one was Wei Yue's. In that battle, more than thirty Confucian scholars were dispatched, turning an area into a swamp. However, there were not many of them with supernatural powers. They were all the result of Confucianism's words and actions.
This was not what Chu Nan expected. Neither the Zhen camp nor Lu Bu, whom he regarded as his trump cards, took action. Only Wei Xu, Wei Yue, Hou Cheng, Cao Xing, and Song Xian were able to defeat the stinky sweet potatoes and rotten bird eggs.
"I thought Zi Yan wouldn't find out." Chen Gong looked at Chu Nan, nodded with satisfaction and said, "People are most likely to become complacent at this time. It's good that Zi Yan is aware of this."
Chu Nan was speechless. With this little achievement, what is there to be proud of?
"The Awakening Pill is indeed rare, but for a wealthy family, it is not difficult to get a few." Chen Gong walked forward with his hands behind his back and said calmly: "In the first battle with Wei Yue, the opponent should have used all his strength, but it was a pity that he lost.
Then all the troops came out, including Wen Hou, Gao Shun and others. Although Zi Yan took action at once, Zi Yan likes to see things from other people's point of view. If you were them, what do you think is the chance of winning?"
Chu Nan shook his head. Without external interference, it would be a bit difficult to defeat Lu Bu.
"What should we do if we can't win?" Chen Gong said with a smile.
"Try to protect themselves and gather strength to fight again, but even the roots have been cut off, how can they gather strength?" Chu Nan frowned for a moment, then looked at Chen Gong: "Isn't it possible?"
These people still have an escape route, which is to defect to Chen Deng. Since Chu Nan wants to absorb the low-end market, it seems that it is not impossible for Chen Deng to absorb the high-end market, but how can so many people work together?
"Now that I think about it, these noble clans joined forces a bit fast. I thought it should be like this at first, but there is no leader among them, and there has never been a commander-in-chief from the beginning to the end." Chu Nan had a toothache: "There has been a lot of history behind this.
Is someone doing push-hands?”
"Tiger has the intention to hurt people, and people also have the intention to hunt tigers." Chen Gong nodded and said: "Chen Deng is a very strategic person. I am afraid that Zi Yan's plan was noticed immediately, but he did not make any reaction.
, I’m afraid it’s just to take advantage of the situation.”
"But this move is of no benefit to Chen Deng!" Chu Nan frowned and said, "If I were Chen Deng, what I should do is to coordinate these people and directly overthrow my father-in-law."
"This is a variable." Chen Gong shook his head and said: "Without the tools provided by Ziyan, this battle would not have ended so easily."
Without the things in Chu Nan that strengthened the effect, these gentry coalition forces would not have been able to defeat them so quickly, at least with the help of Wei Yue. But with these things in Chu Nan, every unit can be called a strong army, and Wei Yue can
Eight hundred against ten thousand, the same goes for other generals, and several of them even made breakthroughs in this battle.
The army that usually can only be regarded as ordinary soldiers and horses can now be used as elites, which is indeed beyond Chen Deng's plan.
"In this case, Chen Deng had already calculated that we were preparing to attack Guangling, so he wanted to use the opportunity to plunge Xuzhou into civil strife. We had no time to take care of Guangling, but because of something unexpected, he had to send those elites with divine power away
Recall Guangling?" Chu Nan thought about it and exclaimed.
This is inferred from the results after the fact. It is not difficult to draw the conclusion. Without Chu Nan's intervention, Chen Deng's move might have achieved his goal. Lu Bu was dragged into Xuzhou, and the armies were trapped in the quagmire of an exhausted war.
Chen Deng buys more time?
"No matter what, he lost." Chen Gong said with a smile.
"Yes, next is Guangling." Chu Nan nodded!

Today is Valentine's Day, so I won't waste everyone's time by writing more. I wish everyone a happy evening~
In addition, a friendly reminder, when looking for a hotel, try to find a high-end hotel, so that there are usually no weird cameras. If you really can’t find it, pay more attention to it. If you don’t want to cause trouble, take safety measures.
I also want to comfort my single friends. The so-called heroes don’t ask where they come from. You are single regardless of your age. If you are interested, find a few hotels and wait at the door tonight. There may be breakup couples to make everyone feel miserable, but remember, you can take advantage of the opportunity.
, but don’t use unscrupulous means or force. Taking advantage of others and committing crimes are two different concepts. That’s all. Once again, I wish everyone a wonderful night at the Homophone Festival~
