In the next few days, there was an endless stream of visitors to Chen Gong. As Chen Gong said, for many people in Xiliang, they can see the benefits of Chu Nan’s new policy. If they follow the same rules as before,
Farewell, here in Xiliang, most people may not have the opportunity to step into the center of power in their lifetime or even in two or three generations.
Now, Chu Nan's new policy is a huge impact on the Central Plains gentry, but it is beneficial to the Xiliang gentry, giving them the qualification to enter the core of power.
"Teacher." There was a knock on Chen Gong's door, and Zhao Yun's voice sounded outside.
"Come in." Chen Gong said in the direction of the bamboo slips he was looking through.
Zhao Yun pushed the door open, came to salute in front of Chen Gong, and knelt down at Chen Gong's signal.
"What's the matter?" Chen Gongxiao asked.
"I have been waiting for several days. I am a little worried about Chang'an." Zhao Yun expressed his worries and looked at Chen Gongdao.
There are only two people in Chang'an, Duan Yan and Luo Ping'an. Duan Yan is a newly surrendered general. Although the family records have been sent to Xuchang, there is still no guarantee that Duan Yan will not harbor evil intentions if they are away for a long time.
In this way, the only person Chang An can actually trust is Luo Pingan.
Zhao Yun felt that Luo Pingan was not enough to take on the big responsibility now, but it was difficult to say it clearly. Now that Luo Pingan was controlling the situation in Jingzhao alone, he was worried about Jingzhao and at the same time he was worried about Luo Pingan's safety.
"Duan Yan is a suspicious and weak person by nature. Not to mention that he is not sure of regaining power now. Even if he is, he will be worried about the imperial court's revenge." Chen Gong said with a smile: "If there is a big problem, this person will not help, but
He will never cause trouble secretly. People in the world will still be afraid of Zi Yan's evil reputation."
Chu Nan's reputation for killing people in recent years is not just talk. There are so many lessons learned from the past, which may not deter the bold or unscrupulous, but for a timid and suspicious person like Duan Yan,
The deterrent effect is great enough.
Therefore, unless the news of Chu Nan's defeat of Yuan Shao comes now, it is unlikely that there will be any problems here for Duan Xuan.
"I know you are worried about Luo Ping'an..." Chen Gong said this with some helplessness. Zhao Yun values love and justice. As long as others show some kindness to him, Zhao Yun will treat him heartily. According to Chu Nan, this
It is caused by lack of care in childhood. Zhao Yun can only rely on Zhao Yun to come out on his own, experience enough betrayals or wake up one day, otherwise all others can do is guide.

"But as long as Luo Pingan doesn't take action or show cowardice, it will still be a bit of a deterrent to Liang Xing and others." Chen Gong wanted to laugh when he thought about the oppression Luo Pingan brought to those people, but it was precisely because of this that he could
Bring Zhao Yun to Xiliang.
In many places in Xiliang, Qiang people account for a large proportion. They only respect the strong, so like Dong Zhuo in the past, the Ma family today can gain great influence among the Qiang people.
If you bring Zhao Yun here, your success rate will be greatly enhanced.
"Zilong." Seeing that Zhao Yun still looked worried, Chen Gongxiao asked: "We are anxious at this time. Can we stabilize the land of Jingzhao?"
Zhao Yun shook his head.
"Then we should abandon this place immediately and return to Jingzhao?"
Zhao Yun shook his head again.
"Since we can't give up on the things in front of us, and it's hard to control the Jingzhao area, then worrying has become a superfluous thing. It's better to calm down and get things done here as soon as possible, and then worry about the Jingzhao matter.
First, even if there is a problem at Jingzhao, we still have a chance to do things well. There is no such thing as having both sides in the world. It is difficult to control everything in your hands. It will be like sand in the palm of your hand.
The tighter you tighten, the less you will catch."
Looking at this disciple, Chen Gong said with a smile: "If you want to do great things, you have to know the trade-offs. If you can't grasp it, don't grasp it. Leave it to others and do the things you can grasp. Even though Luo Ping'an's talent is limited, he
He is also a disciple taught by Qiren Pavilion, so he won’t be too bad!”
"Disciple understands." Zhao Yun bowed and said.
"It's good to understand. The matter here is about to come to an end. As long as I convince Ma Teng to help me, I can persuade Han Sui." Chen Gong said with a smile: "Han Sui agrees, and it will be easier to convince the other four generals."
.”
Among the Xiliang generals, Ma Teng and Han Sui should be the strongest, and now Ma Teng has almost been convinced.
As for Han Sui, according to Chen Gong's understanding of this person, he is very good at taking advantage of the situation. Now it seems that Chen Gong has conquered Duan Xuan, Liang Xing and the five major Guanzhong forces. If Ma Teng surrenders again, the other party may take the initiative.
cast.
And the two major forces of Maharashtra and Han accepted the order from the imperial court, which means that most of the forces in Guanzhong have now submitted to the imperial court. The remaining four families do not even need Chen Gong to come forward. As long as they are not stupid, they will come to vote.
At that time, the Guanzhong Allied Forces will start the first battle against Yuan Shao.
Now Yuan Shao is still in the testing stage for Chu Nan and does not pay much attention to Guanzhong. When the two major forces are fighting, whoever has more chess pieces will have a greater advantage.
Guanzhong may not be the key factor in determining victory or defeat, but it is definitely a key chess piece.
In the next three days, just as Chen Gong had expected, Ma Teng, under Chen Gong's sincere invitation, agreed to help the court defeat the rebels. Of course, the millions of stones of food and grass would not be less.
The palace brought coins, but in these days, food and grass were the hard currency.
As long as they see food and grass, they will send troops.
But this first batch of grain and grass came from Yuan Shao!
…
Jizhou, Yecheng.
In the recent period, the Jizhou army has frequently attacked Chunan's counties along the river. Although there have been losses, Chunan's attitude of only defending and not attacking gave Yuan Shao the illusion that Chunan did not dare to fight with him head-on.
"My lord, judging from the news from the Central Plains, Chu Nan has sent more troops and horses to various places. Although he only defends and does not attack, he has obviously begun to prepare for the battle between the two sides." Xu You saluted Yuan Shao and said: "This battle
No further delay!"
Xu You had noticed something was wrong. The soldiers who invaded the Central Plains encountered extremely fierce civil resistance. In the past, the common people were not included in their calculations. They were just like fish and meat. They could eat whatever they wanted. But now, the regular army has not taken action yet.
It was the resistance of the people that had caused considerable casualties to the Jizhou Army that invaded the enemy.
What Xu You saw in this was Chu Nan's war potential. These common people who also practiced the art of visualization could become a strong army with a little training.
As for Jizhou, if the main force is severely damaged, replenishment of troops will be a problem. If the new recruits want to reach the level of veterans, they need to practice the art of visualization for at least one year.
Others can form an army with just a little training, but it takes a lot of time to train them. Therefore, if they cannot defeat Chu Nan in a battle with Chu Nan, the risk of Jizhou's defeat will increase exponentially.
"Lord, Feng thinks that it is time to promote the idea of concept among the people in Jizhou at this time. Once the war situation changes at the front, the rear can promptly replenish enough troops to fight!" Tian Feng was considering the issue of replenishing their troops in the event of serious battle damage.
This idea is undoubtedly a bit pessimistic, but Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Xu You and others who originally opposed Tian Feng chose to remain silent at this time.
Judging from the results of the current test, if nothing else, Chu Nan's side must have greater stamina than them. Once this war becomes a war of attrition, and they still stick to their previous concepts and prohibit the flow of visualization techniques into the people,
The longer it is delayed, the worse it will be for them.
Looking at the current situation, it is basically a luxury to hope to defeat Chu Nan with overwhelming force. Even though Chu Nan is showing a calm attitude, everyone present is not a fool. Chu Nan is not showing weakness. He is just showing weakness.
Just show it to the world to gain sympathy.
How disgusting!
Now, after being harassed for so long, Yuan Shao did not dare to start a war rashly. Chu Nan's war potential made them feel a little unsure.
Yuan Shao felt a little irritable, nodded and said: "Let's follow Yuan Hao's plan and promote the art of visualization among the people first."
"Here!" Tian Feng breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Yuan Shao would be stubborn, and these colleagues also refused to open up. Although it was not a matter of life and death, they were no longer as confident about the prospect of the war as they were at the beginning.
"Come in." Yuan Shao saw a guard coming to the door, but he did not speak. He should have something to report, but it was not important. This position is facing Yuan Shao. If Yuan Shao agrees to let him in, he will be summoned.
, if you don’t agree, then keep waiting until the discussion with everyone is completed before making a report.
After receiving Yuan Shao's permission, the bodyguard quickly walked in, saluted Yuan Shao and said, "My lord, Zhen Yao of the Zhen family would like to see you."
"Zhen Yao?" Yuan Shao frowned when he heard this. As Zhen Mi disappeared, the connection between the Yuan family and the Zhen family was also severed. What is the purpose of Zhen Yao coming here at this time?
"Let him come in." Yuan Shao waved his hand, signaling for people to come in. The war is about to begin, and wealthy businessmen like the Zhen family who control a lot of wealth are still very useful.
"Here!" the guard agreed, bowed and left, and soon came in with Zhen Yao.
"Zhen Yao, meet the general!" Zhen Yao saluted Yuan Shao.
Although the imperial court has deprived General Yuan Shao of his official position, in Jizhou, Yuan Shao is still a general. If others don't recognize him, the imperial court cannot forcefully go to Yecheng to seize the official seal.
"What's the matter?" Yuan Shao looked at Zhen Yao and asked.
"General, according to reports from our tribe's merchants, the imperial court sent the scholar Chen Gong to Guanzhong a month ago." Zhen Yao bowed and said, "And using grain and grass as bait, we recruited Duan Xuan, Liang Xing and other Guanzhong generals."
Yuan Shao naturally knew about this matter. If Chen Gong, a core figure in Chu Nan's power, could not grasp the movements, there was no need to mess around. He looked at Zhen Yao and said, "I already know about this matter, and Ziyu is interested."
"Yao came here today because he has a plan that may be able to restrain Chen Gong." Zhen Yao bowed and said.
"Oh?" Yuan Shao looked at Zhen Yao with great interest and said, "What's your plan?"
"The Zhen family is willing to donate money and food to go to Xiliang and lobby the Xiliang generals to restrain Chen Gong!" Zhen Yao bowed and said.
Of course, the most important thing is to trade with Chen Gong, but this kind of thing obviously cannot be brought to the table.
Yuan Shao looked at Zhen Yao, thought for a while and said: "That's fine, if this can be done, Ziyu can be the prefect of Changshan!"
The Zhen family is seeking an official career, which is not a secret in Jizhou. Originally, if Zhen Mi married Yuan Xi, the Zhen family could gain some influence in Youzhou official circles. Unfortunately, this matter has gone south. Now the Zhen family wants to find another way out.
, Yuan Shao can also understand.
As for Guanzhong, Yuan Shao sees it as just a casual move. He doesn't think that the scattered forces in Guanzhong can have any big impact on him. It doesn't matter if he can do his best or if he can't.
"Thank you, General!" Zhen Yao was overjoyed. With Yuan Shao's approval, the Zhen family could justifiably transport goods to Guanzhong. He immediately requested a letter of order from Yuan Shao and left...
