"Lord, it seems that there is no intention to cross the river on the other side." At the top of Shouchun City, Huang Zhong came to Chu Nan and said to Chu Nan.
"Cao Cao is suspicious by nature. It's not easy to deceive him." Chu Nan nodded helplessly. It seems that it is really not easy to use any strategy to deal with Cao Cao. The opportunity in Nanyang is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Cao Cao must be satisfied, but now the forces here
Already done...
Chu Nan suddenly thought of something and quickly looked at his longevity.
But I saw that the longevity that was originally only 1 has now turned into a question mark.
This means that Shouyuan is not sure, which means that before Lu Bu captured Jianghuai, their fight with Cao Cao was still a sure-to-die situation, but after they captured Jianghuai, it was no longer a inevitable defeat against Cao Cao.
It seems that this is not destiny, but a calculation of the fate of both parties. There must be a set of calculation methods internally, which must be very complicated, but it doesn't matter, the result is good, and Lu Bu can continue to grow until he can see his own clearly.
Until longevity.
After initially figuring out his own mortality, Chu Nan felt that the pressure that had been weighing on his heart was instantly reduced by half, and he suddenly wanted to relax.
"Now..." Huang Zhong looked far away, looking in the direction of the river bank.
"Just wait, the two families are still allies at the moment. Since Cao Cao doesn't dare to cross the river, he will definitely send people here next. There are more and more people on our side. This time, Yuan Shu will be wiped out to get benefits." Chu.
Nan laughed.
There are more and more people under his command, and there are not enough official positions. After defeating Yuan Shu this time, apart from other things, the position of Jiujiang Prefect should be granted by the imperial court, right? My father-in-law, Xuzhou Mu, cannot move from his position, but he can take on some additional positions.
Yes, such as a former general or something like that, it is enough to give a hussar general based on my father-in-law’s merits.
If General Hussar can be given down, then there will be many more official positions that can be granted, and suddenly the future feels bright.
"Lord, why are you smiling like this?" Zhou Cang looked at Chu Nan's silly face in confusion.
"Ahem~" Chu Nan coughed lightly and said, "For the city defense, I leave it to the two generals Han Sheng and Wen Chang. If Cao Cao sends envoys over, send them directly to the government office."
Since Cao Cao is not prepared to attack, there is no point in staying here. Of course, defense is still indispensable. If Huang Zhong and Wei Yan stay, they can guard against Cao Cao's tricks.
"Don't worry, my lord, the general is here. If Cao Cao really dares to come, he will never come back!" Wei Yan said proudly.
Chu Nan nodded, bid farewell to the two generals, and hurried back to Yuan Shu's palace with Zhou Cang.
Although Yuan Shu has left, not everyone can go with him. Many concubines left in the palace are now at a loss, not knowing what kind of future they will face.
This is the tragedy of most women in this era. After all, not everyone can awaken their divine power. As for those who can reach the first-class level like Lu Lingqi, there are even fewer of them. Their best fate may be to be chosen by Lu Bu and compete with Lu Bu.
Or be rewarded to a certain general.
This is the best ending, and the rest of the way will be even worse.
Seeing a well-known and pretty woman being scolded and standing in a row, Chu Nan glanced over. Not to mention, Yuan Shu was not good at anything else, but his aesthetics was still above the line.
After greeting the palace officers, Chu Nan went straight to Yuan Shu's palace. Of course, it can't be called a palace now. As long as Lu Bu is a Han official, he can't call the place where he lives a palace.
Lu Bu was counting Yuan Shu's property. Yuan Shu's attainments in pleasure were not comparable to those of a country bumpkin like Lu Bu who came from a poor family. Whether it was the construction of the palace or the various treasures, Lu Bu felt like he could open up another world.
Feel.
Seeing Lu Bu's appearance, Chen Gong frowned slightly. Seeing Chu Nan come in, he whispered: "Zi Yan should advise Marquis Wen not to indulge in the land of gentleness."
"Teacher, it is inevitable for a person who has never tasted meat to indulge in meat for the first time. No one can resist this temptation. It is impossible to ask him not to touch it at all. This is against human nature. Even if the father-in-law restrains himself,
You just have to suppress these desires in your heart. The longer you suppress them, the stronger they will be when they burst out. It is better to guide them appropriately." Chu Nan said with a smile.
Chen Gong frowned when he heard this. Obviously Chu Nan's statement was different from the orthodox theory, but it was not completely unreasonable.
"Besides, teacher, why do people covet glory, wealth and delicious food?" Chu Nan continued to ask.
"This is a bad thing." Chen Gong groaned. This disciple would know what he was about to fart when he raised his butt. This must be another fallacy of his.
"That's right. Teacher, do you know why this disciple tried so hard to become an official in the first place?" Chu Nan said with a smile.
"Why?" Although he didn't want to take this issue, Chen Gong was also curious about his disciple's lofty ideals.
"There are two reasons. First, the disciple is afraid of death. I have witnessed Cao Cao massacre the city. In these troubled times, a person like me, even if he has not done anything wrong, may become a hero to others, so the disciple needs to have
The power of self-preservation; secondly, the disciple wants to gain something for nothing."
"Getting something for nothing? Humph!" Chen Gong felt that this disciple had made a mistake.
"Actually, think about it, teacher, who doesn't want to get something for nothing? Does a farmer really like farming from birth? If he is given enough food, he will not starve to death even if he doesn't work. Do you think the farmer will still be so hardworking?" Chu Nan asked.
"This is human nature. Everyone hopes to get something for nothing. As a layman, I naturally hope to get something for nothing. Everyone likes beautiful things, but the way of expressing them is different. For example, does the teacher like beautiful women?"
"Vulgar!" Chen Gong felt that this disciple hung out with a group of military generals all day long, and he became vulgar.
"There are also elegant ones, such as fair ladies. Gentlemen are good-natured. In fact, they don't look anything like you. I want to spend a spring night with my wife. My intention is the same. It's just that scholars like teachers and disciples will be more reserved, and women are more reserved.
Easy to accept." Chu Nan smiled.
Of course, the premise is that you have to be handsome. Although it is very disturbing, it is a fact. It is possible for a handsome woman to be raped by a woman. As for a woman who is not handsome, even if you want to be raped, she may stimulate the opponent's potential and kill you.
.
"I don't remember teaching you this!" Chen Gong looked at Chu Nan with a smile. Although it was a fallacy, it was not unreasonable. If he had heard these words before he broke through the Great Confucianism, he would definitely sever ties with Chu Nan, but now
Well, first suppress the disciples, and then package these words and turn them into your own principles.
"There are some truths that everyone understands and does not need to be taught. Disciples believe that desires need to be restrained, but there is no need to suppress them. Over-suppression will only be counterproductive." Chu Nan said, stepping forward to pick a jade object and play with it in his hands. In this regard,
, Yuan Shu is definitely a connoisseur, and every treasure in his collection is extremely exquisite, elegant but not vulgar, making it impossible to find anything wrong with it.
"If there is someone Ziyan likes, just pick him up." Lu Bu has a sharp ear and eyesight. How could he not hear the conversation between Chu Nan and Chen Gong? He is becoming more and more fond of this son-in-law.
"Thank you, father-in-law." Chu Nan was not polite and directly picked out a few things that caught his eye. Then he looked at Chen Gong, who had a dark complexion: "Teacher, if you don't come, the disciples will pick out all the good ones."
"Hmph!" Chen Gong snorted coldly, threw up his sleeves and left, disdainful of being associated with these common people.
"Cao Cao didn't call?" Lu Bu asked casually, playing with a jade horse.
"No, Cao Mengde is suspicious by nature, so it's not easy to deceive him." Chu Nan shook his head and sighed: "But then an envoy may be sent to ask for the jade seal."
When Lu Bu heard this, he looked at Chu Nan.
"Father-in-law, don't look at me. Now my father-in-law has the power to compete with Cao Cao. At this time, even if I tell him directly, Cao Cao does not dare to take action. Now in this land of Jianghuai, if Cao Cao takes action, he will suffer the consequences.
He and Yuan Shu can use the Huai River to stop us. If our army is here, how dare Cao Cao cross the river?" Chu Nan said with a smile: "To be honest with him, he can only endure it and go to Yuan Shao if he has the ability."
Lu Bu thought about it and felt that this was the truth, so he stopped thinking about it and said, "What do you think of this glass mirror for Madam?"
There is no glass in this era, and colored glaze is a very precious thing. A mirror polished with colored glaze is not much worse than a modern mirror. In this era, it is definitely a priceless thing. Chu Nan nodded and said: "Quite good
, I heard that this colored glaze is extremely rare in the Western Regions."
"It's not that uncommon. In the past, someone was chasing a tribe and strayed into the Western Region. I heard that there were quite a few under the thousands of miles of yellow sand, but most of them were scattered. Glass as big as this is indeed a treasure." Lu Bu
Although his knowledge of luxury was limited, he was quite knowledgeable in other aspects. For Lu Bu, the scenery beyond the Great Wall was simply a daily routine.
After the world is reset, if you find a way to make glass, you will definitely make a lot of money!
Chu Nan thought, even if it were made now, this thing wouldn't sell much. After all, during the war, no one with brains would spend a lot of money to buy such ornamental things. Only when the world is peaceful, people will pursue this kind of thing.
Ornamental things, and use this to distinguish yourself from ordinary people.
"Father-in-law, after Cao Cao retreats this time, I think we should go to the Lujiang River first. Even if we can't take the east of the river, we should control all the land north of the river." After Chu Nan and Lu Bu chose for a while, they enjoyed the service of the palace maid, while saying
Tell me your plans.
Jiangdong didn't know what the situation was now. It would be best if he had the chance to win. But if he couldn't win, he had to capture the two counties in Jiangbei first. In this way, he only needed to be prepared for attacks from the river.
Lu Bu nodded: "This matter has just been discussed with Gongtai. After Cao Cao retreats, you will be responsible for capturing Lujiang."
"Me?" Chu Nan looked at Lu Bu in surprise.
"It's just Liu Xun, don't worry, Zi Yan is brave enough to fight. In this battle of Hefei, Zi Yan performed well. In these troubled times, Zi Yan still needs to have meritorious deeds." Lu Bu nodded matter-of-factly.
, Although Chu Nan has always said that he does not know how to fight, Chu Nan's performance is not bad whether he was sent as an envoy to Xuchang before or now when he is fighting in Hefei, so both Lu Bu and Chen Gong want to give Chu Nan some opportunities in this regard.
"Here!"
"Do you like this woman in the palace? If you do, take her back...forget it, you don't need this." Halfway through, Lu Bu suddenly looked at Chu Nan, shook his head and said.
