Chapter 250 248, Nanyang does not allow such a powerful person to exist
The first meeting between Chen Yuan and Nanyang Haoqiang ended so unhappy.
No, it's not that they broke up on bad terms, but that they have already become tit-for-tat.
My face was torn.
Both sides are very sure that the other side will admit defeat, so no one leaves any room.
Nanyang Haoqiang wants to continue to take the initiative and dominate Nanyang.
Chen Yuan wanted to completely subdue these powerful men and make them listen to his command.
Of course, the most fundamental thing is that Chen Yuan wants to hand over the two most fundamental things, land and population.
The interests of the two parties are irreconcilable.
So, everyone made preparations.
Chen Yuan dispatched troops and generals, sent a letter to Liu Bei, and sent more than a hundred people to Nanyang to fill the vacancies.
Deng Xilong is also doing various things here.
After these individuals returned home, they directly summoned the children of their own families, immediately resigned from their posts and returned home, explaining the stakes involved.
The vast majority of people obeyed the family call and left with their seals.
Only a handful of people don't.
These people are truly dedicated to serving their country.
He has long been disdainful of some of his family's actions, and now he is even less likely to obey his family's orders and resign and return home.
These are clearly antagonizing the government and the state government, and this kind of behavior has become taboo.
Among these very few people were Lou Gui, Li Su and Zhao Zi.
Lou Gui, a famous counselor and general during the Cao Wei period. Lou Gui had friendship with Cao Cao when he was young. He once accompanied Cao Cao to pacify Jizhou, conquered Liu Biao in the south, and defeated Ma Chao. He made great contributions. Even Cao Cao lamented his strategy. He was a counselor type.
figure.
Li Su, this Li Su was not the one who persuaded Lu Bu to make Dong Zhuo his godfather. This person was the later minister of Soochow, and he was a famous person.
Zhao Zi, also known as Dedu, was a native of Nanyang. He was well-read and knowledgeable, and he was quick at handling matters. He is now the magistrate of a county in Nanyang.
Among these three people, Lou Gui has the highest talent, and the other two are also middle-to-upper-level talents.
The reason why these three people did not obey the family's order to resign is that their family is not very big and cannot be ranked high in Nanyang.
Secondly, the reputation of the three of them is not small, and the family's constraints on them are also very small, and they can basically act according to their own wishes.
Therefore, when Chen Yuan knew that these three people had not resigned, he showed admiration on his face: "These three people are all loyal people and can be of great use."
Immediately, Chen Yuan transferred three people back to Nanyang, and two people enriched the prefect's mansion. As for Lou Gui, Chen Yuan planned to bring him to Xiangyang.
With Lou Gui's talent, he can better display his abilities by Liu Bei's side.
Because after this guy later joined Cao Cao, Cao Cao often asked him for advice on many important matters, but he did not let him take control of the military.
This shows that Lou Gui is a consultant-type talent.
Positions such as chief of staff are most suitable for him.
Chen Yuan issued an order to transfer the three people back to Wancheng. When the officials were about to go out with the documents, Chen Yuan suddenly thought of a question.
He asked Qin Jie next to him: "Mr. Chuqi, do you think Deng Xilong and the others know now that Lou Gui and the others have not resigned?"
Qin Jie didn't hesitate at all: "Of course I know."
Chen Yuan nodded: "With the temperament of these people, if they knew it, would they still save the lives of three people?"
Qin Jie was shocked: "Zichu, are you saying that the lives of the three of them are in danger?"
Chen Yuan nodded: "I have never dared to have any expectations for these powerful people. Now I am sure that Lou Gui and the others are in extreme danger. Maybe they can save their lives in the government office, but once they hit the road
If you return to Wancheng, your life will be at risk."
Qin Jie stood up and said: "In this case, I personally went to take them back to Wancheng, but I don't believe that they dare to kill me."
Chen Yuan waved his hand: "Why bother with Mr. Chuqi? Besides, these people are so crazy that they might actually dare to attack and kill you, Mr. Chuqi."
Chen Yuan thought for a moment and suddenly smiled: "Okay, in that case, I will see how brave Nanyang Haoqiang is."
Chen Yuan called Lu Bu and Zhang Liao in.
"Fengxian, Wenyuan now has a task for you."
Then Chen Yuan told the two of them his plan.
After listening to this, both of their eyes shone brightly.
Then they each clasped their fists and accepted the order and left.
Chen Yuan thought for a while and asked someone to call Wei Yan over.
"Chang Wen, you secretly lead a thousand soldiers and horses out of the city. Remember not to allow anyone to discover your whereabouts. Go to the place where you can see and wait for my orders."
The counties where Lou Gui, Li Su and Zhao Zi live are Pheasant County, Li County and Xi'e County respectively. These three counties happen to be adjacent to each other.
If you want to complete the journey from three counties, Bowang is the place you must pass.
Bowang is surrounded by Funiu Mountain to the north, Yinshan Mountain to the south, and Baihe River to the west. It is a hilly area where Funiu Mountain extends here. The terrain is dangerous and it is the thoroughfare of the ancient "Xianghan Pass". It has always been a battleground for military strategists.
Moreover, after passing this place, there is no suitable place for ambush.
Therefore, if Deng Xilong and others wanted to attack and kill three people, this place was the best place.
Chen Yuan asked Wei Yan to lead a thousand soldiers and horses into Bowang Slope first to ambush those who ambushed the three men.
Lu Bu and Zhang Liao will not show up openly, but will protect them secretly.
As for the people on the bright side, let Zhou Tai go.
As for why Zhou Tai was asked to go, firstly, it showed the importance he attached to the three of them. Now everyone knows that Zhou Tai is Chen Yuan's bodyguard and represents Chen Yuan to a certain extent.
Another purpose is that Chen Yuan hopes that the people sent by Nanyang Haoqiang to intercept and kill the three people will be stronger and have more troops.
This time, Chen Yuan not only wanted to bring back three talents, but also caused Nanyang Haoqiang to suffer heavy losses.
After Chen Yuan's side has made arrangements, let's look at Deng Xilong's side.
As expected, Deng Xilong and the others found out that Lou Gui and the others had not resigned.
The crowd was excited for a while.
"These three people are so bold. Are they trying to annihilate themselves in Nanyang?"
"A small family, a small family, short-sighted, unwilling to give up an official position, must be punished."
"In my opinion, we must kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, lest some people will not take us seriously."
Everyone was talking about everything.
It took a while before it calmed down.
Deng Xilong did not wear official clothes at this time, but wore a brocade robe and jade belt with a silver crown. His good appearance made him even more elegant.
The Deng family is a large family in Nanyang. They have been in Nanyang for more than a hundred years and have been genetically modified for generations. Basically, there will be no particularly ugly people anymore. It can even be said that the Deng family, especially the direct descendants of the Deng family, have absolutely no problems with their appearance.
This Deng Xilong is a middle-aged handsome guy.
In future generations, I will definitely be liked by some handsome young girls.
Deng Xilong finally put down the tea in his hand and looked at everyone: "Everyone has finished speaking, can you listen to me?"
"Please give me some advice from Mr. Deng."
Everyone looked at Deng Xilong, waiting for him to make up his mind.
Deng Xilong first smiled slightly: "Everyone has his own ambitions. If others are unwilling to resign, we cannot force them to resign. After all, we are neither robbers nor villains. You guys are right."
When everyone heard what Deng Xilong said, they couldn't help but frown.
Could it be that Mr. Deng wanted to let these three people go?
It is impossible to let go of nature.
Deng Xilong said this just to show his generosity as the leader of Nanyang.
Deng Xilong's words suddenly changed.
"However, we Nanyang people have our own rules. If you want to be an official and get rich, that's fine, but you must not ignore the wishes of your parents and fellow villagers. We Nanyang will not tolerate such people. Do you think you are right?
"
Everyone looked at Deng Xilong and was a little confused. They didn't know what Deng Xilong meant.
Deng Xilong did not explain, but just said: "The land in Nanyang is so thin that it may not be able to accommodate such dragons and phoenixes."
What does this sentence mean?
To put it bluntly, Nanyang does not allow such awesome people to exist.
This time, everyone understood.
"What Mr. Deng said is true."
"We understand."
Deng Xilong nodded with satisfaction.
Deng Xilong naturally wanted to kill Lou Gui and the others.
However, the Deng family cannot take action.
How could the dignified Deng family of Nanyang do such a thing?
These things were naturally taken care of by other families.
Otherwise, my position as the leader of Nanyang would be in vain.
Fortunately, this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing.
Every family has its own people who do dark things.
Whether it's called the Law Enforcement Hall, the Dark Hall, or any other random name, it doesn't matter.
In short, the meaning of their existence is the same, to get rid of some people who should not exist in the eyes of the powerful.
For example, Qin Jie.
In fact, the person Nanyang Haoqiang most wanted to kill was Qin Jie.
However, Qin Jie is an old and cunning man, and he knows how to behave powerfully.
Under normal circumstances, he would not leave the county town, and even if he did, he would ask Wei Yan to lead his troops to accompany him.
Therefore, these powerful people have never been able to find an opportunity to take action.
As for the assassination and poisoning by bribed servants of the prefect's mansion, it's not like they haven't thought about it.
But Qin Jie is indeed a figure who emerged from the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He acts strictly and cautiously and does not give these powerful men a chance at all.
Most of the people they placed in the prefect's mansion were found and dealt with by Qin Jie.
The few who were not discovered could not get close to Qin Jie, and had no chance to harm Qin Jie.
What, why do you think these people are so bold and dare to assassinate a prefect of a county?
Then you underestimate the courage of these powerful people.
Not to mention the prefect, even the emperor has not done harm to them.
It is said that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty encountered several assassinations and almost died. In the end, the real murderer was not found and he could only kill some of his internal servants.
One can imagine their courage and energy.
When Deng Xilong saw everyone leaving one after another, he must have prepared manpower to kill Lou Gui and the others.
Although the three of them, Lou Gui, are all very good, their cultivation is not weak either.
Especially Lou Gui, who already has the ability of the third level.
But in their eyes, third grade is nothing.
There are too many ways to kill a third-level powerhouse.
The most direct way is to kill by force.
Nanyang Haoqiang's hands are so powerful that they can use them even with people with second-grade or even first-grade cultivation, let alone those with third-grade cultivation.
Of course, there is only one first-grade strong person on the surface right now, and that is an ancestor of the Deng family.
There are not many second-grade ones, only five.
There are more third-grade people. Basically every family with a good ranking has a third-grade master, and there are more than one.
This is also one of the reasons why Nanyang dominates Nanyang.
Without these masters in charge, how could they maintain this massive amount of land and wealth?
One thing to say, such strength is really not weak.
Every first-level master can protect a force.
That is to say, luck is now boiling, and the masters are beginning to blow out.
Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, a first-level master was enough to frighten everyone and even shock the imperial court.
After all, there are not many first-class masters in the imperial court.
Things are different now. With luck boiling, the number of first-level masters has begun to increase rapidly.
However, one grade is one grade, and no matter how many there are, it will not affect his intimidating power too much.
Because a first-level master is already the pinnacle of this world, and there is no higher level.
As for the so-called reincarnators and the immortals like Xu Fu, they are all special cases.
Strictly speaking, they are also first-level powerhouses, but due to various reasons, their magical powers and cultivation far exceed those of first-level ones.
This special existence can be described by a name.
Half immortal or half step transcendence.
The reason why they are called this is because although they are still of the first rank, they already have some characteristics of immortals or transcendent beings. It is just because the world does not allow them to become immortals and transcendent, so they stay in this world.
If it were placed in the Pre-Qin period, these people would have ascended and gone long ago.
After these people left, Deng Xilong thought for a moment and suddenly shouted: "Deng An."
As soon as Deng Xilong finished speaking, a person suddenly appeared in front of Deng Xilong.
This person was surrounded by a mass of black energy, and his appearance, gender, and clothing could not be clearly seen.
All you can see is a cloud of black air surrounding it.
A voice that could not tell the difference between male and female replied: "What are the instructions from the master of the house?"
Deng Xilong said calmly: "You lead three heaven-level secret guards to follow the people sent by these people. You don't need me to teach you how to behave."
The voice replied: "My subordinates understand that if things succeed, they will be hidden, and if things don't work, they will be killed."
Deng Xilong nodded with satisfaction.
It is indeed a secret hall that has been cultivated by the family for more than a hundred years. It is easy to use it.
The Deng Family Secret Hall began to be cultivated by Deng Yu. It has become very mature over the past 100 years and has made great contributions to the Deng Family.
However, the training of these people is extremely cruel.
Most of them are recruited from civilian orphans. They are first brainwashed and then taught the art of killing.
Most of these killing techniques are evil secret techniques that consume potential and life span.
It is very powerful and can create first-, fourth- and fifth-level masters in a short period of time. If you are lucky, you can even produce one or two third-level masters.
However, the cost of these secret techniques is very high, and most secret guards do not live past the age of thirty.
But for the Deng family, this is enough.
Anyway, there is an inexhaustible supply of orphans, and there are too many people who cannot survive.
This person who often hides next to Deng Xilong is the commander of the secret guards. He is named Gu to Deng.
Bones exposed in the wild.
The reason for this name is because this person was killed out of hundreds of orphans. He was the only one to survive among hundreds of orphans, and the others became the bones at his feet.
Therefore it is called Denggu.
This person has a third-grade cultivation and is a strong man.
