"Young Master, you are lucky to have lived up to your destiny."
Tian Feng found Wei Cheng and gave an overview of the conversation between the three of them at the restaurant in the afternoon, especially the changes in their expressions.
Wei Teng didn't want to test him at first, but after hearing what Tian Feng said, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This is like the difference between private companies and public employees. No matter how much you give, it may not be as attractive as a department-level cadre position without real power.
Of course, Xu Huang and the others did not disappoint themselves, and that was enough.
Wei Cheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "They will feel lucky for their choice today."
Tian Feng smiled and looked at Xun You beside him.
Xun seemed to understand, and bowed his hands to Wei Cheng, "Master, I may have something to offer you."
Wei Cheng nodded: "You say."
Xun Hui raised his hand, and what he said was related to the satellite city outside the city. The main reason was that people had been secretly peeking into the greenhouse vegetable shed recently.
Wei Cheng frowned and said, "So, most of the investigators come from various aristocratic families?"
Xun You shook his head and said: "No, these people are not hiding. After all, we don't have strict control over the greenhouse, but one of them has to be on guard."
"Oh?" Wei Cheng looked at him curiously. There weren't many people that Xunhe could pay attention to.
Xun You raised his hand and said, "This person's name is Chen. His surname is Yuanlong. He is currently the magistrate of Dongyang County and is quite famous among officials."
"Chen Deng?"
Wei Cheng looked slightly surprised, because he was very familiar with this person... Oh, no, he was familiar with him in the novel, but he had never seen him in real life, but to be honest, the impression was not very good.
This person is very realistic. Tao Qian, the pastor of Xuzhou, treats him well. Tao Qian was dissatisfied with Liu Bei by letting Xuzhou serve Liu Bei three times. On the surface, he was helping Liu Bei, but in fact, he had his own plans. Taking advantage of the opportunity to attack Lu Bu, he secretly
Take refuge with Cao Cao...
Oops, after all, he is another young man. He is capable, but he is too full of ideas. Think about it, even Liu Bei, a careful robot who cannot control the beast, can Chen Deng be a good guy?
If Cao Cao hadn't already matured at that time, I'm afraid this guy would still be disobedient...
Of course, these are purely personal opinions. In short, Wei Cheng is not very fond of this person. If I insist on talking about it, I feel that he is like Murong Fu in Jin Yong's novels. He is famous in the world and has great ambitions. It is a pity that he is so stubborn.
The strength cannot keep up.
Moreover, it is said that Chen Deng liked eating sashimi so much that he ate himself to death when he was in his thirties. After all, he didn't have a few years to live. Unless Wei Qing was willing to rescue him, even Hua Tuo couldn't do anything about it.
Just his.
"Haha..." Wei Cheng suddenly laughed when he thought of this.
Tian Feng and Xun You looked at each other with confusion on their faces.
Wei Cheng waved his hand sheepishly and said: "Nothing, I just think that Chen Deng is a very smart person. It's okay. If he wants to learn from it secretly, let him learn from it. At this time, he is still good and knows how to understand the people's sentiments.
He can be considered a good person if he raises the weak and orphans."
Hearing this, Xun You frowned and said, "Young Master, I'm worried that he has received Tao Qian's secret order. On the surface, he is here to observe the sentiments of the people and learn the methods of greenhouse cultivation, but in fact, he is trying to find out the reality of our river east, so we have to be careful."
Wei Cheng nodded, knowing why Xun You was worried.
Said: "Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian is indeed a person, but there is no need to worry about this person. Xuzhou will be unable to protect itself after a while. Even if he is determined to imitate me in Hedong to restore people's livelihood, I am afraid that some people will not give him a chance. "
"What do you mean, Master?" Tian Feng took a step forward and stood in front of a world map, his eyes falling on the boundary of Xuzhou.
This map was drawn by Wei Cheng by a graduate student in the history department. It mainly depicts the distribution of various countries or regions in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and before the Three Kingdoms. Although it is not 100% accurate, it is enough for Wei Cheng to understand the current situation.
Tian Feng tapped the map and said: "Three days ago, Yanzhou came to report that Cao Mengde led 30,000 troops east to Yanzhou to set up camp, and secretly contacted Yuan Shao and Bao Xin. Bao Xin was very prestigious in Shandong and was a cavalry captain. With his background, he can respond to hundreds of calls, and he is already ready to become an army."
After Tian Feng finished speaking, Xun He on the side said: "If what they expected is true, the next step will be to force Liu Yu of Youzhou and Tao Qian of Xuzhou to form an alliance. If the two are unwilling, they may have to fight hand to hand. Yuan Shao , Cao Cao and his ilk are not easy to get along with."
Wei Qian nodded slightly, nodded and said: "Liu Yu is indecisive. He is more than conservative and not enterprising enough, so there is nothing to worry about. But Tao Qian is different. He is a military commander. He is good at both literary and martial arts. It only took three months. So he subdued Zang Ba, Sun Guan and other bandits as generals, and willingly assisted him in annihilating the Yellow Turban rebels. If Tao Qian hadn't been really old, I'm afraid he would have been the most difficult person to deal with."
"And after all, Liu Yu is a relative of the emperor. Yuan Shao and others dare not touch him. Therefore, if they want to scare the monkeys, Tao Qian becomes the only choice. As long as Tao Qian joins the alliance, Liu Yu will definitely have no choice but to compromise." Tian Feng said.
"Will not……"
Wei Cheng, who was familiar with the trend of history, suddenly interrupted Tian Feng, picked up the tea cup, and while playing with it, he said: "Not only will Liu Yu not agree, but he will also reject Yuan Shao's proposal to proclaim himself emperor, because he dare not, and his status He is only allowed to be a prince in Youzhou."
"Proclaim yourself emperor?" Tian Feng and Xun or exclaimed at the same time.
Wei Cheng was stunned and said amusedly: "What, do you think I'm making this up?"
"How dare Yuan Shao risk such great disapproval from the world?" Tian Feng just found it unbelievable.
Xun You also nodded and said: "Even if Liu Yu is a relative of the emperor, he is not a direct descendant after all. How dare he recommend Liu Yu to be emperor?"
Wei Cheng squinted his eyes with a deep expression, and said quietly: "Because Yuan Shao himself wants to be emperor!"
"Yuan Shao?"
"That's right."
The reason why Wei Cheng was so sure was mainly because of Yuan Shao's next series of actions.
Whether it was to support Liu Yu and proclaim himself emperor, or to order the heroes to gather in Shandong to form an anti-Dong alliance, for what purpose did Yuan Shao have to force Dong Zhuo to step down?
Wei Qing thought about it and could only think that Yuan Shao might have the same ambition as Yuan Shu.
Since the Han Dynasty has withered, let's just replace it with someone else to take the supreme position.
Yuan Shao had his own army and the support of a large number of aristocratic families. As long as he could force Dong Zhuo to step down, the young emperor would not have anything to worry about. Empress Dowager He had already been driven crazy by Dong Zhuo. Without Wang Yun's family background, almost no one in Luoyang could restrain him. Yuan Shao's ambition.
This is also the main reason why Dong Zhuo chose to give Wei Cheng a state at this time. He foresaw that all the major forces would be eyeing him. If he didn't do something, he was afraid that his fame as a father-in-law would not be around for a few more days.
.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo rushed to push Wei Cheng in front of others and asked Wei Cheng to help him resist the pressure first.
It's a pity that Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Jian... these people are not fools.
Of course, you have to pick the soft one. The Wei family has just killed 50,000 Huns cavalry and has a reputation for being vicious. Even if we want to target the Wei family, it must be after we have removed you, Dong Feifei, from power.
At that time, wouldn’t it be great if Wei Cheng and the post of state pastor could be directly eliminated?
Stupid Dong Zhuo, he didn't know that his little cleverness actually accelerated the establishment of the anti-Dong alliance.
Wei Cheng sighed helplessly, "What the hell, I tried every possible means to delay the progress of history, but in the end I still couldn't stop it. Is the inertia of history so strong? Isn't it said that there is a butterfly effect... or am I not flapping my wings fast enough?
