"Zilong, how are you?" After Zhao Yun said goodbye to Chu Nan and Chen Gong, it was already evening when he saw Luo Ping'an. Luo Ping'an had been waiting outside. When he saw Zhao Yun coming out, he quickly stepped forward and asked with concern.
"It's not bad. I've entered the Strange Man's Hall. My lord asked me to go to Guanzhong with the teacher." Zhao Yun said with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense. You can't call them like that. Remember, before the disciples of Qiren Hall become an official, they can't call you Lord. Only after you become an official and have an official status can you call them like this. Also, although the master of the hall is also
Teach us knowledge, but we can't call you teacher randomly. You can't just call teacher casually. The master of the hall has only one disciple, and that is Lingjun. When we meet in the future, we can address him as the master of the hall." Luo Ping'an quickly pulled him aside.
, instructed with a serious look.
"Uh..." Zhao Yun looked at Luo Ping'an, hesitated and said, "My lord, it's fair, the teacher also accepted me as his disciple."
The air suddenly became quiet.
The serious expression on Luo Pingan's face became stiff little by little, and his eyes gradually lost focus.
"Brother Luo?" Zhao Yun gently pushed Luo Ping'an and called softly with some worry.
"Well, uh, cough~" Luo Ping'an came back to his senses and looked at Zhao Yun with complicated eyes. He was very happy to meet his fellow villagers in Xuchang. He also hoped that his little brother could make a difference. He had even thought about it before,
As long as my little brother can enter Qimen Hall, I will use my connections to help him learn some practical things.
But... the little brother who I thought was a newbie suddenly changed his face. Not only did he have an astonishingly high evaluation, he was rated as a B-level rare since the establishment of the Qiren Hall. More importantly, the owner of the hall took the initiative to teach him as a disciple, and your order also directly taught him
Income under his command.
With this kind of treatment, even if Luo Ping'an is looking forward to good things for his little brother, he can't help but feel a little jealous.
My mentality is broken!
"Oh, forget it, you probably won't stay in the Hall of Strange People for too long. I... I'm afraid I won't be able to see you a few times in the future, so I need to take care of myself." Luo Ping'an patted Zhao Yun's shoulder with some disappointment,
Then he sighed and changed his title. Now he didn't dare to call him by his name anymore. He turned around and wanted to leave lonely.
"But I asked the teacher and the lord to invite you to go to Guanzhong with me, and the lord and the teacher also agreed." Zhao Yun looked at his back and said with some humor: "If nothing happens, you and I will at least have a lot of time.
get along."
"Is...is that so?" Luo Ping'an turned around, looked at Zhao Yun, and laughed dryly: "Very good, very good...Thank you, brother...brother."
"Brother Luo, how old is..." Zhao Yun asked.
"Six out of twenty." Luo Ping'an chuckled.
Twenty-six!?
Zhao Yun looked at Luo Pingan's face full of vicissitudes of life, and sighed in his heart. People's lives are difficult. Most people live in a difficult life and grow old before they get old. Luo Pingan is twenty-six years old and has a face of forty-six.
Face, this is not a strange thing among the people.
"Then you can call me brother this time." Zhao Yun also laughed.
Zhao Yun looks young, but he is actually in his thirties. Luo Pingan looks old, but is actually several years younger than Zhao Yun.
"So you are so much older than me?" After Zhao Yun reported his age, Luo Pingan's mentality finally became much calmer. He was older than himself, had more experience than himself, and was a little stronger than himself. It was reasonable. He looked at it in amazement.
Looking at Zhao Yun's handsome face: "Brother, have you ever been married?"
"Never." Zhao Yun shook his head. Generally, things like getting married are arranged by the family, but his parents died early and he finally returned home. His brother also died. Naturally, there was no one to host the marriage. Most of his
As time went by, no one said goodbye to him.
"It's not urgent. Brother, please listen to me. With your ability, it won't be a problem for you to become a marquis in the future. Now you are getting married hastily and you are not worthy of a good one. After you have achieved meritorious service and become an official, the people who will come to propose marriage will definitely come to you.
He belongs to a wealthy family." Luo Ping'an actively analyzed Zhao Yun's current situation. With his brother's appearance and ability, he is not worthy of a fair and tender beauty from a wealthy family?
Zhao Yun nodded silently, he didn't want to talk about this issue.
"You're hungry, I'll take you to dinner. Your name tag won't arrive until tomorrow. But now most people in this Strange Man's Hall know you, so just go and eat without worry. Although there are many rules in the Strange Man's Hall, it's not so private.
Yan." Luo Ping'an touched his belly, looked at Zhao Yun and said with a smile.
Zhao Yun suspected that he was actually hungry!
Thinking of how proactive this fellow countryman was in his affairs, my heart warmed and I nodded to Luo Ping'an.
The two of them immediately headed towards the canteen.
…
When Chu Nan and Chen Gong returned to the official office, the sky had completely darkened.
"The affairs of the government office have been entrusted to me. I will prepare to leave for Guanzhong tomorrow." Chen Gong sat down with Chu Nan and looked at Chu Nan.
"Teacher, do you have a plan?" Chu Nan nodded and asked casually.
"The forces in Guanzhong are currently dominated by eleven forces including Ma Teng, Han Sui, Duan Yan, Cheng Yin, Cheng Yi, Liang Xing, Ma Wan, Zhang Heng, Li Kan, Yang Qiu, and Hou Xuan. These forces except Duan Yan
Except for this, the rest are all in Xiliang. The strongest ones are Ma Teng, Han Sui and Duan Xuan. The teacher wanted to meet Duan Xuan first. After he attacked and killed Li Jue in Huangbaicheng, he ordered people to
The person who sent the head to the court must have had the intention of surrendering, but at that time our army was fighting with Cao Cao, so I am afraid that he chose to wait and see rather than defect to him. He and Marquis Wen also have some kind of friendship."
Chen Gong obviously had something in mind.
"This...teacher, the friendship between father-in-law and Dong Zhuo's old general may not be too strong." Chu Nan looked at Chen Gong and warned carefully.
Chen Gong smiled and said: "Zi Yan doesn't think he will choose the imperial court?"
Chu Nan muttered: "This disciple has never interacted with this person. The people's livelihood in Guanzhong is now in decline. Is this period the winner of the battle with Li Guo? It is better to be cautious. Teacher might as well make some compromises on the policy first."
, it would be best to trick Duan Xuan into coming to Xuchang. By then, at least Jingzhao can serve as the teacher’s foundation in Guanzhong.”
Chu Nan couldn't tell who Duan Xuan was for the time being, but after fighting in Guanzhong for more than ten years and becoming the final winner in the Jingzhao area, he was definitely not an easy character to meet. The imperial court's new policy suppressed these people the most.
, so these people may not be willing to vote.
Chen Gong smiled and nodded, looked at Chu Nan and said, "Zi Yan is teaching me?"
Chu Nan shook his head: "Be careful."
"Don't worry." Chen Gong nodded and said: "I will not act rashly as a division. On the contrary, here in the Central Plains, according to detailed reports, Yuan Shao's troops are gradually moving south. The war is not far away. How are you going to deal with it?"
"Procrastinate." Chu Nan smiled.
"Delay?" Chen Gong looked at Chu Nan and waited for him to continue.
"Well, we can delay it as long as we can. The longer it is delayed, the greater our army's advantage will be. It is best to delay it until Guanzhong is stabilized." Chu Nan said with a smile: "My disciple has written to Yuan Shao before, willing to hand over the emperor."
Chen Gong was startled when he heard this. He looked at his disciple and laughed dumbly: "Zi Yan is really... informal!"
"Anyway, if you just say it casually and give Yuan Shao a thumbs up, you will lose face at most. The disciples have no face to speak of among the scholars, so they don't care." Chu Nan said with an implicit smile.
So what if he just promised to surrender to Yuan Shao as long as he could delay time? He didn't really surrender. He just said that because he was afraid that Yuan Shao wouldn't believe it, so Chu Nan said he was willing to hand over the emperor in exchange for peace between the two families, but it wasn't true.
As for officials and titles, he was even more generous. After returning to the court, Chu Nan granted several officials to Yuan Shao.
As Yuan Tan was his best friend, Chu Nan naturally had to take care of him and made him the governor of Qingzhou, the general of Zhendong, and the marquis of Laixiang.
The second son Yuan Xi, Chu Nan also generously granted the title of Governor of Youzhou, General of Zhenbei, and Marquis of Yangxiang.
Yuan Shao's favorite third son, Yuan Shang, Chu Nan even gave him the position of Jiuqing, as well as some of Yuan Shao's nephews. They all received rewards. Chu Nan was not stingy at all when he was given the title.
Yuan Shao was already a general, a highly respected minister, and had no title, but Chu Nan still gave him the right to add nine tins. Anyway, the imperial court was not in Jizhou, so he could go and play with it himself.
The letters to Yuan Shao were also written in the name of his nephews.
In short, as long as it is a virtual thing, Chu Nantong will give it to him without any stinginess.
Yuan Shao should be able to feel his sincerity. As long as he is a little grateful, he can wait for two or three months to head office, right?
Chu Nan's request is not high, as long as the war can be postponed for half a year. By then, the people's hearts here will be more stable, and the water canals are almost completed. If we fight again then, we will have greater certainty.
At the same time, by doing this, you can also show your weakness to Yuan Shao. When he comes to fight, you have to be ruthless, giving him a feeling of polarity reversal, and messing with his mentality is the end.
In a war, if one side's coach loses his mentality, the other side's advantage will be even greater. Anyway, that's what happens outside the battlefield, to see who can disgust the other side.
Chen Gong looked at Chu Nan silently for a long time before saying, "Zi Yan."
"Teacher, please tell me." Chu Nan nodded.
"This Confucianism... I'm afraid you have no hope of becoming a Confucian scholar in this life, so you should find another way out." Chen Gong said to Chu Nan sincerely.
It's not that I don't like this disciple, but Chu Nan's behavior is getting further and further away from the way of a gentleman.
What Great Confucianism cultivates is virtue. With Chu Nan's character, it would be very difficult for him to reach the level of Great Confucianism in this life. At this moment, Chen Gong was somewhat glad to have accepted Zhao Yun. Although he was a martial artist, his behavior was more like that of a gentleman.
"Teacher, don't worry, my disciples are now focusing on the art of war." Chu Nan nodded and said without much regret. Ever since he couldn't use his words, Chu Nan had lost most of his interest in Confucianism and Taoism. Now,
He also cultivates the Qi of Haoran, but the most important ones are visualization, the art of war and his own sword-drawing skills.
Chen Gong: "..."
Even though I was prepared for this, when the disciple said this, I still felt a tightness in my chest.
Evil disciple!
The master and the apprentice discussed the current situation and how to trick Yuan Shao after starting a war. After the discussion, it was already late at night, and the master and the apprentice just went home...
