Liu Bei actually didn't want Chen Yuan to go to Luoyang. As long as Chen Yuan was there, no matter whether Chen Yuan was in charge or not, Liu Bei would have the confidence and confidence to face everything.
This state was subconsciously influenced by Chen Yuan who led him to grow from a volunteer leader to a state shepherd. It was not developed overnight, nor could it be changed in a short period of time.
Chen Yuan saw Liu Bei's expression and understood after a little thought.
Chen Yuan also discovered that after several rounds of calculations, the most suitable person was none other than himself.
It doesn’t matter, it’s okay to go to Luoyang. Last time, I was in a hurry. I was mainly worried about Liu Bei’s affairs, and I didn’t have much time to stay in Luoyang. I missed a lot of scenery. This time, I will spend some time in Luoyang to meet the heroes of the world.
.
There are not too many things to be busy with in Jingzhou now. Even if Chen Yuan is not here, Liu Bei can arrange everything properly.
Therefore, Chen Yuan can go to Luoyang with confidence.
Chen Yuan directly requested the order: "My lord, Yuan is willing to go to Luoyang as a messenger, and I also ask for your permission."
When Liu Bei saw Chen Yuan calling "Lord", he knew that Chen Yuan was determined.
Things that Chen Yuan decides rarely change.
Liu Bei sighed: "Since Zichu has made up his mind, I will no longer dissuade you. However, you must bring a few expert guards with you on this trip, otherwise I will not agree."
Liu Bei's worries are not unfounded. You must know that Chen Yuan has offended many people now.
Not to mention the Yingchuan Chen family, Chen Yuan also offended a lot of other powerful people.
It is completely normal to film one or two killers or masters coming to assassinate Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan also knew the reason, so naturally he would not rely on it. He still wanted to live for a few more years.
After thinking for a while, Chen Yuan said to Liu Bei: "My lord, Yuan wants to ask General Fengxian and Wen Yuan to help me, and I also ask for your permission."
Liu Bei thought for a while and felt that there was no problem.
Lu Bu is also a strong player in the first rank, Zhang Liao is not far away from the first rank, and with Zhou Tai as a guard, with these three masters as guards, he should be safe.
Moreover, when Chen Yuan goes to Luoyang, there will be Jin Fengwei accompanying him to inquire about information, so there should not be any big problems.
Liu Bei agreed to Chen Yuan's request and asked Lu Bu and Zhang Liao to be summoned.
Liu Bei did not tell them the specific matter. He just said that Chen Yuan had something important to meet with the emperor and needed help from the two of them.
Chen Yuan recommended both Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, so they naturally had no objections.
Don't look at how Lu Bu acted so arrogantly and alone later on, like a lone wolf.
In fact, Lu Bu is relatively easy to get along with if you get his temper right.
There are already some escorts, but Chen Yuan plans to bring a few more people with him, namely students from the academy.
Guo Jia, Xu Shu and Lu Su.
It is easy to bring three people with them, they are old enough.
The oldest remaining person is Zhuge Jin, who is only ten years old.
Logically speaking, Zhuge Jin can also go with him, but there must be someone left to take care of these guys, otherwise these brats can turn the world upside down.
Even though they are only 56, 78 years old, none of them are economical, and most adults are not as thoughtful as they are.
The worst ones here are Liu Ye and Pang Tong. …
These two guys were only five or six years old, and they began to highlight the extraordinary qualities of gifted children.
He has an out-of-the-box personality and is good at deflecting blame. Zhou Yu can't get past them. Zhou Yu is smarter than them.
Usually the person who takes over is Zhuge Jin or Lu Su.
It's not that they can't see through the tricks of these two little guys, it's just that they have relatively tolerant personalities and don't care much about these things.
Lu Su followed, and Zhuge Jin's presence would prevent these little guys from causing an uproar.
In fact, if we talk about leadership status, it is still Zhou Yu.
However, Zhou Yu was recently caught by Cai Wenji, because Cai Wenji discovered Zhou Yu's talent in music and directly treated Zhou Yu as a direct disciple.
Therefore, Zhou Yu was recently forced by Cai Wenji to practice piano and learn music.
The next day, Chen Yuan led a group of people out of Xiangyang and headed straight for Luoyang. Liu Bei originally offered to send him off, but Chen Yuan refused.
What Chen Yuan can't bear the most is this kind of farewell scene, which always makes Chen Yuan feel sad.
So, simply don’t give it away.
Seeing that Chen Yuan really didn't want to be given away, Liu Bei had no choice but to give up.
Because we were not in a hurry, and Chen Yuan also had to teach Guo Jia and Lu Su, the trip was not very fast.
Chen Yuan and others prepared three carriages, one of which Chen Yuan rode on and Zhou Tai served as the coachman.
The other one was for Guo Jia and Lu Su, and the other one was filled with gifts and sundries.
The route that Chen Yuan and his team took this time was not to go directly north from Xiangyang and take the line of Hulao in Xuchang, but to go northwest to Wancheng in Nanyang, then pass Wuguan and Hangu Pass, and then enter Luoyang.
Going this way is actually a detour.
But this was specially arranged by Chen Yuan.
Because he wanted to go to Nanyang to have a look.
Nanyang is the most imperial town. The people in Yin County are rich, and the powerful people in the county are everywhere, and they are all very rich.
As the governor of Nanyang, Qin Zhe was not an easy official.
Although Liu Bei had already stood up for him before, whether those powerful men would buy into Liu Bei's case was another matter.
Otherwise, Liu Bei would not have met Zhang Ning in Wancheng.
Chen Yuan absolutely did not believe that the Nanyang tycoons did not know that Zhang Ning had arrived in Wancheng.
From their perspective throughout Nanyang, when a strong man like Zhang Ning arrived in Wancheng, they must have known about it.
However, they all had a tacit understanding and did not remind Liu Bei, although Liu Bei came to help them at that time.
From this we can see the attitude of these Nanyang powerful men towards Liu Bei.
Most of them are wary and ostracizing.
You are the herdsman of Jingzhou. Just manage the other counties well. We still have the final say in Nanyang.
Most of the powerful people in Nanyang have this mentality.
This comes from the prosperity of the Nanyang tycoons during the founding of the People's Republic of China. For the Nanyang tycoons, except for the Hebei tycoons who could stand a fight, the others were scum.
Liu Bei was actually a little nervous when faced with the Nanyang heroes who were huddled together, let alone Qin Zhe.
Chen Yuan went there this time to dismantle the powerful Nanyang.
Because Nanyang's tyrants have greatly damaged Jingzhou's interests.
Many of the policies implemented by the Prefecture and Mufu are almost useless here in Nanyang. This is not because Qin Zhe does not implement them, but because the resistance is too great, and even Qin Zhe's ability is somewhat helpless. …
Qin Zhe is a very capable person, capable of both literary and military skills, and has a resolute temperament.
After joining Liu Bei, he tried hard to implement various policies of the Prefectural Mufu, but with little effect.
All this information was collected by Jin Fengwei. Chen Yuan had long planned to meet with this powerful Nanyang man, but he was unable to spare the time due to numerous things.
This is a good time to clean up Nanyang by the way. At least Qin Zhe, the Nanyang prefect, must live up to his reputation.
If the time is right, Chen Yuan wants to keep Zhang Liao in Nanyang to assist Qin Zhe.
Zhang Liao is a handsome man with a calm personality and thoughtful thinking. With his assistance, Qin Zhe will surely be able to gradually take Nanyang into his own hands.
Of course, these are just Chen Yuan's calculations. Whether he can achieve this goal depends on Chen Yuan's methods.
After reading the information collected by Jin Fengwei, Chen Yuan called Guo Jia, Xu Shu and Lu Su over.
When the three of them came to Chen Yuan's carriage, they were about to salute Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan waved his hand to indicate that there was no need for more courtesy and asked the three of them to sit down.
Chen Yuan's carriage was specially made by Chen Yuan himself.
With added shock absorbers.
You must know that the road conditions in this era were too bad, and the wheels of the carriage were all made of wood. Once you start walking, it will be very uncomfortable to be bumped.
After Chen Yuan did it several times, he would rather ride a horse than make a carriage.
But it didn’t work this time. I had a lot of things to carry, and riding a horse seemed too unattractive.
Therefore, Chen Yuan arranged for his own specially made carriage.
Since no rubber was found, the wheels were still wooden wheels, but many modifications were made elsewhere.
The most important thing is the shock absorber.
To put it bluntly, it is yellow.
The bullet looks simple, but with the current level of iron smelting and steel casting, it can only be made by hand.
Therefore, Chen Yuan asked Zhou Tai to make some springs by hand and put them on the carriage, which greatly reduced the turbulence.
Although it is still not as good as the cars of later generations, it is already much better and I won't be jolted to the point of being vomited after just one ride in a carriage.
People in later generations may not be able to imagine the word "travel fatigue". After all, we have airplanes, high-speed rails, and highways. It is difficult for us to imagine being distracted by the bumps in a car.
But in this era, the word "travel and fatigue" is not much better than "cool labor".
So under normal circumstances, if you can't go out, you won't go out. It's too difficult to go out.
Moreover, the space inside Chen Yuan's carriage is very large, and it can easily accommodate several people.
Guo Jia and the others took their seats and looked at Chen Yuan doubtfully, wondering what Chen Yuan meant by calling them over.
Chen Yuan did not give in and handed the information in his hand to the three of them: "Look at the content here and tell me what you think."
The three of them had no doubt that he was there, and when they took it and took a look, they immediately understood.
There is some information about how Nanyang's tycoons used covert and covert means to obstruct the implementation of Jingzhou's policies. Some powerful people even violated the policy not in covert terms but in covert ways, openly working against the prefectural governor's office.
In particular, the Deng, Zhu, Jia, Ma and other families, the descendants of the twenty-eight Yuntai generals, were the most resistant to the implementation of Jingzhou's policies.
In fact, this kind of resistance is normal, because the series of policies implemented by the state pastoral government are basically aimed at cracking down on powerful forces, so it would be strange if there is no resistance. …
Moreover, the contradiction between the powerful Nanyang power and the prefectural government is irreconcilable, unless the powerful Nanyang power can give up its land interests, turn to business and expand outward with the state government, as Chen Yuan hopes.
However, most of the powerful landowners have long been accustomed to grabbing profits from the land for generations, and asking them to give up cannot be done with just a few words.
If you want to achieve this, there is only one way, and that is to kill people with blood. Kill them until they are afraid, and then maybe they will change their thinking.
Then they will see benefits from business and outward expansion. Over time, they will be able to integrate into Liu Bei's group.
This process is bound to be bloody.
However, Chen Yuan didn't say anything.
From Chen Yuan's point of view, it is a bit extreme to say that all the powerful men of this era should die, but if they kill every other person, there will definitely be something that will slip through the net.
As for those who died unjustly, let them dedicate their lives to reform.
After the three of them finished reading, Guo Jia couldn't help but clicked his tongue and said: "I thought our big family in Yingchuan was already arrogant enough, but compared to people like those in Nanyang, they are still far behind. Any family that bullies men and dominates women
I don’t bother to do it. Look at Deng Xiangshou, the young master of the Deng family. He already has a wife and children, and has a fancy name. He is called Nanyang Wolf, and he plays very fancy. He actually has the right to have the first night in their own village. He is ashamed of himself.
.”
The Deng Xiangshou Guo Jia mentioned was given more detailed information in Jin Fengwei's report.
This Deng Xiangshou was the son of Deng Xijiao. This Deng Xijiao was nothing, but Deng Xiangshou's son was a famous person, Deng Zhi.
Deng Zhi was a man of both civil and military skills, and was steadfast and concise. He forgot his family when he was in office. He served as a general for more than twenty years. He made clear decisions on rewards and punishments and was kind to his soldiers. He relied on his officials for food, clothing and supplies. He was not strict about frugality, but he never managed private property.
The wife will inevitably be hungry and cold, and the family will have no money on the day of her death. Her nature is strong and simple, she does not show off her spirit, and is not harmonious as a scholar.
This is his evaluation.
In short, Deng Zhi is a great talent.
It's a pity that his father turned out to be such a person. I really don't know what kind of bad luck this guy had to give birth to such a good son.
Chu Yequan is an extremely evil thing. Deng Xiangshou also knew that this matter was not visible to the public, so he acted very secretly. Except for a few close friends, no one knew about what he did.
That Zhuangzi was also looked down upon by him, and no one was allowed to escape.
Of course, even if someone escaped, Deng Xiangshou would not be afraid, because with the prestige of the Deng family, no one would dare to come to him to ask about the matter.
Therefore, he worked in that Zhuangzi for several years, but no one noticed it, allowing him to live freely.
Chen Yuan hated this kind of person the most. When he saw this information, Chen Yuan had already pronounced this guy's death sentence.
However, it is not that simple to catch this person.
Deng Xiangshou was a direct descendant of the Deng family and had a very high status in the Deng family.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the Deng family is the local emperor of Nanyang.
Almost all the powerful people in Nanyang, led by the Deng family, formed a group to resist all those who harmed their interests.
Guo Jia said something frivolous. Chen Yuan glanced at him and immediately made the guy smile.
Originally, Guo Jia was not afraid of Chen Yuan, but because he had a lively temperament and was very familiar with disciples like Chen Yuan, he caused some troubles.
Finally, Xiang Lang complained to Chen Yuan.
It was impossible for Chen Yuan not to give an explanation to Xiang Lang, so he used the trick that would be used to punish people in later generations.
Close the small dark room.
And it’s an advanced version of the dark room.
Chen Yuan had someone set up a silent formation. Once inside, not only would there be no light, but there would also be no sound at all.
In this absolutely silent environment, even a determined person like Guo Jia could not survive three days.
After coming out of the dark room, Guo Jia became much more honest.
Especially for Chen Yuan, who invented the dark room, he felt a little more afraid.
In Guo Jia's opinion, a person who can deal with such a cruel punishment method is definitely a ruthless person.
Guo Jia couldn't afford to offend such a ruthless person.
