It was dark at night, and Chu Nan, who was lying on the bed, had an empty mind. Even though he was holding a peerless beauty in his arms, he was not too moved at the moment. He was just enjoying the rare tranquility after the joy.
Zhen Mi lay in his arms, listening to the powerful heartbeat. On her pretty, cold and snow-white face, the blush after passion had not completely faded away, and her eyes were a little blurry.
Yuan Shao has already taken action, so these peaceful days will probably not last long.
He always had a certain contempt for Yuan Shao, or because he knew the history, but he could clearly feel Yuan Shao's power despite being born in this era.
It was the peak of the gentry. Many people in the court were actually loyal to Yuan Shao, who was a very powerful enemy. Cao Cao's ability to win the Battle of Guandu in history actually had a lot of luck.
But even if he warned himself like this, Chu Nan still couldn't pay enough attention to Yuan Shao.
As for Yuan Shao's indecisiveness, in fact, the greater the power, the harder it is to make a decision. Now Chu Nan has already felt it. In the past, in Xuzhou, all he had to do to make a decision was to convince Lu Bu, but now, with the help of his men,
With the increase in power and the expansion of power, every decision is related to the livelihood and survival of countless people. The three states now controlled are like a big ship that can no longer be managed by one or two people.
We have to cooperate with everyone to sail this ship in unknown waters. As the helmsman and captain of this ship, what Chu Nan has to do is not to do specific things, but to control the course. Every decision is related to
The future and destiny of everyone on this ship.
The damn thing is, everyone has the right to get off the boat, except him. If the boat breaks, he will have no choice but to sink with the boat.
In fact, Cao Cao also faced the same problem in his later period, and now Chu Nan not only has to compete with the princes, but also has to consider the possibility of encountering the coveting and cannibalization of this planet by the true immortals from outside the territory in the future.
"What are you thinking about, husband?" Zhen Mi looked up in the dark night and looked at her man infatuatedly. There was a different kind of charm in her cold voice. With her naked appearance now, I'm afraid no one can resist her temptation.
.
"I'm thinking...what do I want?" Chu Nan, who was used to being served by this beautiful lady, didn't have much fluctuation. He just caressed the beautiful lady's back and silently sorted out his thoughts.
"My husband now controls the court and has unparalleled power. How can he think about this?" Zhen Mi murmured softly.
Yes, Lu Bu is now in a state of semi-retirement, and his power has been gradually handed over to Chu Nan. No one in the entire court can restrict Chu Nan anymore. Power dominates the world, and he is accompanied by beautiful women. This is probably what many people pursue in their lives, but Chu Nan
He already has it in his early twenties. Everything in the world is at his fingertips as long as he wants it. For ordinary people, such a person should not have such a problem.
But Chu Nan really did.
"When I was in Xuzhou, I was just a small businessman. I wanted to get ahead. I had this goal and kept getting closer to it. Although there were hardships, thinking about it now, every day was quite fulfilling; and now, what I wanted in the past is
When you get everything, you don’t know what will happen in the future.”
Now, he has actually replaced Cao Cao's position in history. Next, there will be a battle similar to the Battle of Guandu, competing with Yuan Shao for the hegemony of the Central Plains. This is just a repeat of history, but even if he wins in the end, what will happen in the future?
?
In the past, he had teachers, friends, and father-in-law to support him on his journey. Now that he is the master of his own affairs, there are fewer and fewer people who can accompany him and follow him along the way.
Recently, Chu Nan can feel a trace of... loneliness!
This feeling is not strong, but it does exist. Only when you are having fun with your wives and concubines, you can temporarily feel your existence.
Chu Nan reached out and held Qingguo's concubine in his arms, hugging her very tightly. The squeezing feeling of her skin seemed to allow him to find the slightest sense of existence.
Zhen Mi didn't say a word. She seemed to be aware of her husband's emotions and silently hugged her husband's waist tightly.
There was no words for the whole night, but early the next morning, when Chu Nan came out of the room, he regained his confidence, calmness, and weakness of a man.
Lu Lingqi was already practicing martial arts in the courtyard. There was faint fire coming out of her body, and her power was much stronger than before she was pregnant. However, after one year of pregnancy and the emergence of the concept of thinking, she had actually lost a lot of power to the first echelon.
, is now working hard to catch up, meditating every night, practicing martial arts during the day, and occasionally taking care of her children and accompanying her husband when she has time. Every day of her life seems to be very fulfilling.
After having breakfast with his wife and concubines, Chu Nan went straight to the government office and saw Guo Jia and Liu Ye waiting in his room.
Guo Jia still looked like he could never wake up. When he saw Chu Nan, he bowed crookedly.
"Sit down, what are you doing here today?" Chu Nan motioned for the two of them to sit down, and then asked curiously.
"Lord, this is the progress of the various princes' promotion of the Contemplation Method." Liu Ye unfolded a scroll of bamboo slips and analyzed the current new situation for Chu Nan.
Among the princes, apart from Chu Nan, who was the first to fully promote the concept method, only Jiangdong was copying it.
Yuan Shao promoted it comprehensively in the military, so leakage is certain, but ordinary people have limited opportunities to come into contact with the concept. If it wants to completely flow into the civilian population, according to Yuan Shao's system, it will not be possible within ten years.
Jingzhou and Shu have a similar approach. In terms of military strength, the gap between the two sides will not be too big. But in terms of stamina, if Chunan wants to replenish its military resources, it only needs to train military formations, and the princes want to replenish their troops.
, you can only start from scratch. It is not easy to train recruits with such strength.
Chu Nan looked at this information, then looked at the two of them and smiled: "In fact, given the current situation, as long as our army continues to delay it for ten or eight years, our army will be able to win without a fight and easily conquer the world!"
Nowadays, Chu Nan's method of dealing with civil society is to benefit the world and guide the people to move closer to the court. Because of the issue of luck, local officials attach great importance to their own luck. For individuals, it far exceeds the interests of the family.
.
After all, this is longevity.
Of course, as time goes by, there will still be some phenomena of using power for personal gain, which is unavoidable, but even if you use power for personal gain, you will still have to pay attention to propriety.
So under normal circumstances, the National Games here in Chunan are becoming more and more prosperous. According to Chunan's current system, civilian talents can be easily absorbed into the imperial court.
The princes' method is more like blocking. In fact, they don't know that Chu Nan's method is the most suitable. Blocking is worse than sparing. This principle is very simple.
But reality and truth often deviate. The reality is that the interest groups under the princes cannot allow the people to have the power to resist them, and at the same time they cannot provide the people with too many promotion channels like Chu Nan.
You must know that the biggest advantage of Chu Nan is that it has the authority of the imperial court and can be given many official positions. As long as Chu Nan does not stand on its own behalf for the Han, no one among the princes will dare to stand on its own as emperor and king like Yuan Shu did. They can
The official positions given are limited compared to Chu Nan's.
And these limited benefits had to be divided among the noble clans. Even if the princes wanted to use Chu Nan's method, they would have to face the risk of collective betrayal by their subordinates before they could use it.
Therefore, the longer time passes, Chunan will be prosperous, and the social conflicts on the princes' side will continue to escalate as the people gain more and more power. In the end, they will be unable to stop it and fall into civil strife. By then, Chunan will
It is so easy to conquer the world.
The situation faced by the princes now is that they have clearly seen the future and have ways to sort it out, but they cannot use it. If they imitate Chu Nan, they will die immediately. If they continue to continue the previous system, they will slowly wait for death.
"What your Majesty said is indeed possible." Guo Jia took a sip of wine and said, "But your Majesty is willing to delay, but the princes will not."
Now the only way for the princes to survive is to kill Chu Nan and seize the imperial court. In this way, their living space will be greatly expanded.
"So, I'm afraid this battle won't last long." Chu Nan clicked on the table and said.
"Exactly." Liu Ye nodded and said, "I will try to dig the ditch before this happens so that our army's food supply will be worry-free."
"I'm afraid it's too late." Chu Nan nodded, then frowned.
"My lord, don't worry about finding out. Cao Cao has already dug a section before. Now we can save a lot of time by just following the canal dug by Cao Cao." Liu Ye said with a smile.
"Is this true?" Chu Nan looked at Guo Jia.
Guo Jia nodded and said with a smile: "Gong Cao had predicted that there would be a battle with Yuan Shao sooner or later, so he started preparations as early as when he welcomed His Majesty back."
It would not be enough to dig a waterway for hundreds of miles within three to five years, but with the foundation left by Cao Cao, and the fact that most people now have the concept of cultivation, although the effect is far less than that of officials with luck bonus
, but the increase in strength is certain, and with the revised version of Liu Ye's mechanism magic, it is not a fantasy to dig this ditch in a short time.
Chu Nan had to admire Cao Cao's foresight. He knew the direction of history, so he could deal with many things quite calmly. However, Cao Cao did not have such a vision, but he had already predicted this when he welcomed the emperor back.
A battle and began preparations.
It's a pity that now I am getting an advantage.
Chu Nan looked at Guo Jia: "Does Mr. Cao have any other preparations?"
Boss Cao has left, and he left peacefully, but Chu Nan felt that the things he left behind should not be wasted.
"The rest is military deployment, and now most of it has been taken over by Lingjun." Guo Jia shook his head. At that time, Cao Cao had just supported the emperor, and was surrounded by princes such as Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Zhang Xiu. Yuan Shu's power was even greater than
Cao Cao, and in the following years, natural disasters occurred frequently in the Central Plains. Cao Cao was often in a state of not having enough food. Even if he had this foresight, he would not be able to do much. Having this half of the canal is already good.
"That's alright, that's enough." Chu Nan nodded, looked at Liu Ye and said, "Then Ziyang will have to worry about it. Maybe I can help with this matter."
Earth Dragon should also be useful in this regard. I still have to thank Boss Cao for the gift.
