"Do you feel better?" Seeing Xu Huang's expression softening, Chu Nan asked with a smile.
"Thank you so much, envoy." Xu Huang nodded. He still felt uncomfortable, but just like Chu Nan said, there is no perfect solution for many things in this world. No matter which path you take, you have to face the consequences of it.
In other words, no matter which choice you make, you will have feelings of regret or regret. Too much entanglement will have no meaning other than making yourself miserable. Now that you have chosen the path, just move forward.
"It's good to be able to think about it, but I came here today not just to relieve the general's worries, but also to discuss important matters." Chu Nan waved his hand. He found that apart from fighting, he could not do anything else, whether it was governing the place.
We have to take care of everything from implementing new policies to formulating strategies. Now we even have to take care of the mental health of our subordinates. Mind-reading may not be a good magical power nowadays. If you read too much, people will easily go crazy.
"Please give me your orders." Xu Huang bowed and said. After this incident, his attitude towards Chu Nan was obviously much more respectful than before.
"I'm not done with the instructions, I'm still trying to figure it out now. General Gongming, if you are Yuan Tan, if you want to attack Taishan County, how will you do it with internal help?" Chu Nan summoned a map of Taishan County, looked at Xu Huang and asked
road.
"Yuan Tan?" Xu Huang was startled when he heard the words, and looked at Chu Nan in confusion: "How can you be sure that Yuan Tan will attack? And there is an internal support?"
"My participation in the assassination this time was not strong enough to resist the New Deal." Chu Nan said calmly.
not enough?
Xu Huang looked at Chu Nan in astonishment. This was the first time he heard that someone suspected of having few rebels under his control. Is he crazy?
"General Gongmei of the new law should also understand that if the nobles want to settle the dispute, they will have to give up more than 99% of their profits. From the recommendation of talents to the monopoly of local resources, they will be completely taken over by the imperial court. This is without exception an attempt to find people.
As for the lifeblood, it is inevitable that they will fight with me. However, so far, although the rebellion in Taishan is fierce, according to the data returned from various counties, such as Xuzhou, Guangling, Lianghuai and Runan, it has not reached the expected peak, and the distance is far from the expected peak.
The expected peak value is at least half off!" Chu Nan looked at Xu Huang: "General, do you understand the meaning of this?"
"..." Xu Huang always felt that he was not educated enough when talking to Chu Nan. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Chu Nan and said: "Your Majesty, what is resource monopoly? And peak value refers to..."
"The resources of a place include mines, cultivated land and even timber. These are all resources. As far as I know, almost all resources are in the hands of the gentry in each county. They unite with each other and exchange what they need, forming a
A big net covers the entire Taishan County. It is okay for others to sell land to them, but it is not possible to get land from them. This big net covers the people's livelihood in the entire Taishan County. This is a resource monopoly. As long as these basic resources are in hand,
They control the livelihood of the local people, and the people rely on them instead of the court. This is why the county magistrate usually has to establish a good relationship with the local nobles when he comes.
And our new law touches these things, do you think they will go all out?" Chu Nan thought for a while and changed his words.
Xu Huang frowned and nodded. He had also been a county official before, and he naturally knew the ropes, but no one had ever done it as thoroughly as Chu Nan said. And as Chu Nan said, the implementation of the new law would have a negative impact on the gentry.
To put it bluntly, this is just digging into people's roots. It would be strange if people don't try their best. In this regard, Chu Nan's self-awareness is pretty good.
"Based on past experience in promoting new laws, Xiapi has the lowest gentry riot rate, with 80% of the gentry participating in the resistance to the New Deal. Of the remaining 20%, some ran away. In fact, not even half of the gentry stayed and were willing to accept the New Deal.
"
Chu Nan knocked on the table and said: "The strongest resistance was in Guangling. After the Battle of Guangling, the gentry in various places almost disappeared. Leaving aside the defeated Chen family and his son, there were nearly 100,000 people who directly participated in the rebellion.
All nobles participated, and the proportion was the largest, almost 100%. This was the peak. After that, the resistance in Jianghuai and Huai counties was much weaker, and even Runan was not as fierce as Guangling."
"And the value of Taishan County is 55%. Even if we are afraid of the power of our army, we shouldn't have half of the people there." Chu Nan looked at Xu Huang and said: "The general has also dealt with the nobles, so we can think that they will be like this.
Compromise so easily?"
Xu Huang shook his head. For the nobles, they would only choose to compromise when they had a deeper plan or greater interests.
"It is said that when things go wrong, there must be monsters. Rather than believing that these nobles who were skinned and cramped by me love peace and are subdued by me, I am more willing to believe that they have other plans. These days, the assassins who assassinate me have never failed to kill me.
Yes, but the assassination strength is much worse than at the beginning, almost like a death attempt, it feels more like perfunctory to me." Chu Nan said his doubts.
In this world, Chu Nan is definitely the first one who feels suspicious about the assassin's perfunctory approach.
It sounds strange that Chu Nan cannot be happy about things that others should be happy about, but instead feels wary.
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
The person who originally hated you deeply and was destined to be your enemy suddenly put away his fangs and chose to lie dormant. This is probably not a sign of surrender, but to accumulate strength so that he can launch an attack better.
Xu Huang, who had sorted out Chu Nan's thoughts, had to sigh that Chu Nan's way of thinking was different from ordinary people, but it was easier to detect abnormalities.
"What are you going to do?" Xu Huang did not give random suggestions, but asked cautiously. He was not sure what Chu Nan was thinking.
"I don't know, so I came to discuss with the general. If Yuan Tan comes to attack, where will he attack?" Chu Nan shook his head. He didn't know the enemy's situation. What can he do? He can't let others rebel. He came with his troops and said that your army is rebelling.
guilty.
As a rule maker, he can be ruthless, but he must abide by and maintain his own rules, otherwise the rules he sets will be in vain and will not be convincing in front of his subordinates.
"Between Taishan County and Qingzhou are Mount Tai, Gongshan, Gaoshan, and Yuanshan. If we talk about a highway, it is the area around Youlai Mountain and Guishan. This road is most suitable for large armies to march, but there are also mountains between these mountains.
The mountain road can be entered." Xu Huang looked at the map and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for bluntly stating that the biggest problem for our army is that we are not familiar with the terrain of Taishan County. Take this road as an example. If the enemy's main force and ours
The army was in a confrontation, but they used elite troops and horses to attack Fenggao on a small road, and our army was unable to resist."
It would be even more undesirable if the enemy were brought in to fight. Chu Nan's troops had to suppress the rebellion of the nobles and deal with the Qingzhou army. The strength advantage was definitely not on his side. If the Qingzhou army was brought in to fight, it would be equivalent to being attacked from both sides.
Is there any chance of winning?
The enemy's main force must be blocked by the advantage of the land, otherwise the entire Taishan County will be more difficult to attack after losing its barrier.
Chu Nan nodded silently, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were encircling and suppressing Cao Cao's remnants. In addition to the five thousand surrender troops he brought here, there were only three thousand defenders surrendered from Taishan County. It's not that Chu Nan couldn't use these troops.
It's not as easy to use as Xu Huang's five thousand surrendered army. It's okay to fight a smooth battle, but when it comes to a real battle formation duel, I can't use this army to display a battle formation.
This is also the reason why Chu Nan did not seize military power during this period. He needs this army to help him suppress rebellions in various places and maintain a certain position. The most important thing is that besides Xu Huang, he only has two generals, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao.
These two people are obviously not good at leading troops. They can lead troops on the road, but when they actually go to the battlefield, they are more suitable as brave generals leading the army to kill rather than sitting in a command position and commanding the army to fight.
"There are not enough manpower. Apart from generals, there are no generals available." Chu Nan looked at Xu Huang and expressed his suggestion: "So I came here today to discuss the manpower matter with General Gongming. We need one more general."
I will be responsible for commanding the troops in the future."
It doesn't matter if there are few soldiers and horses, but the general cannot rely solely on the three subordinate generals. To be honest, their level is average, and even in actual combat, Chu Nan can suppress them.
"Your Majesty, you want to..." Xu Huang looked at Chu Nan suspiciously. The general in charge of the army is not a big cabbage. You have no generals to use, but I do. Where can I find them?
But after thinking about it, I vaguely understood what Chu Nan meant, and looked at him with some uncertainty.
"As Gong Ming thought, I want to recruit General Lu Qian. Lu Qian is a general. The most important thing is that this person is familiar with the terrain of Taishan County, but I don't know if he can be used by me?" Chu Nan faced Xu Huang.
He looked at her with a smile and nodded, confirming his guess.
"This..." Xu Huang said with a bitter smile: "Zike... he hates the envoy quite a lot."
Not to mention anything else, the way Chu Nan captured Lu Qian alive that day was very hateful.
Not talking about Cao Cao, but based on Lu Qian's disgust and hatred for Chu Nan, it would be difficult to persuade Lu Qian to surrender.
"This is not difficult. As long as he can help me fight, what's the harm in letting him vent his anger?" Chu Nan didn't care about this, as long as he could do things. As for the problem of not being pleasing to him, it was a trivial matter and not worth mentioning.
, who hasn’t found someone who doesn’t like me in this life? There are even more people who don’t like me. They can just scold me or even hit me twice.
"In this way, General Gongming will go with me. You will play the good guy, and I will play the bad guy!" Chu Nan pulled Xu Huang up and prepared to go to Lu Qian to discuss doing things for him.
"Why is this a white face?" Xu Huang had a headache, and Chu Nan always had some new words popping up in his mouth.
"It's not difficult. Bai Lian'er just pretends to be a good person and speaks for Lu Qian while I stimulate him. In addition, I have sent his family to Xuchang. I can use this as a breakthrough to persuade him to be used by me." Chu.
Nan pulled him and walked away and said: "Brother Xiaowei has already gone, and he probably can't talk anymore. The next step will be up to you and me!"
Xu Huang looked at Chu Nan blankly, humiliating his character, detaining his family, and finally asking him to help him fight the war.
Is that human being!?
He couldn't understand Chu Nan. Sometimes this person was broad-minded and convincing, but when he was despicable, he would do one thing after another, making it hard for people to guard against. Moreover, he didn't care about his face at all and would just throw it away.
It really doesn’t match his current status at all!
