The cultivation level of the third grade is already first-class in the Deng family.
There are not many Deng family members who are stronger than him.
In Deng Xilong's opinion, even if other people can't succeed, with Deng Gu leading three heaven-level secret guards, they will definitely succeed.
Don't think that the first-level strong men in the Prefectural Mufu are everywhere, and the second-level ones are not as good as dogs. Just think that the third-level ones are not harmful.
In fact, if the cultivation level of a third-level expert is right, he can become a general in the imperial court.
Of course, there is no need to think about a big march, and it is impossible for General Wei and General Hussar to do so, but there is still no problem in making four towns and four expeditions.
The so-called Four Towns and Four Expeditions are the names of generals with towns and levies in their names.
Zhendong, Zhengdong, Zhennan, Zhengnan, etc.
A third-grade strong person can support his appearance.
Deng Gu took the order and left, bringing three secret guards from the secret hall to follow the assassins and killers sent by other families.
After Deng Gu left, Deng Xilong thought to himself.
Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, it will not involve the powerful Nanyang people.
Because all the people they sent were dead soldiers.
It's okay if you complete the task, but if you fail to complete the task, you will commit suicide, and you will never reveal any information.
Therefore, Deng Xilong felt very at ease.
"Chen Zichu, Chen Zichu, since you want to slap me in the face of the powerful Nanyang, I, Deng Xilong, will also give you a move to let you know what it means to be high and low."
Deng Xilong thought about calling someone, named Deng Zai.
This person was not a direct descendant of the Deng family, but he had outstanding abilities. Deng Xilong admired him quite a lot and he was very easy to use. He was entrusted with many things. He could be said to be Deng Xilong's confidant.
Deng Zai came to him, bowed to Deng Xilong and said, "What is the master's order when he calls me?"
Deng Xilong is not polite either, and there is no need to be polite.
"Go and arrange some people to tell me about Nanyang Haoqiang and Chen Zichu. Especially the scene where He Miao was humiliated is made into a play for me. You must tell this matter to everyone in the world.
Zhi, do you understand?"
Deng Zai bowed and accepted the order and left.
As for questioning, it is impossible to question.
Because Deng Zai is not qualified to question, he is just an ordinary tribesman in the branch, and his current life is entirely because Deng Xilong values him.
To put it bluntly, he is Deng Xilong’s dog.
A dog has no right to question its owner.
All he can do is follow orders and bite people.
Deng Xilong's purpose in doing this was obvious, which was to bring pressure from public opinion and the court to Chen Yuan.
When the time comes, let's see if he can still withstand it.
As for whether it will offend He Miao.
Who knows that he did it himself?
Even if He Miao knew about it, Deng Xilong didn't care. He was just a butcher's family, so what if he became a general?
This isn't the end yet.
Deng Xilong once again called out to someone named Deng Fu.
This person is also a member of the Deng family branch, and his abilities are equally impressive.
Although Deng Zai's ability is extremely outstanding, even if everything is left to him, he can still do it very well.
However, it is impossible for Deng Xilong to do this.
Because the consequences of doing so are very dangerous. Over time, Deng Zai may have some bad thoughts.
What should I do if it turns out to be a customer-centered business?
This kind of thing has never happened in other families.
Everyone has the same surname and family. If one branch of the family has too much power and ends up becoming the guest, it would be completely normal.
The art of checks and balances needs to be used in everything from a small family to a large country.
This is not a power play, it is a fact.
Therefore, after Deng Xilong used Deng Zai, he also used Deng Fu.
It's not that he doesn't want to use people from his direct lineage to do things, it's just that there are no outstanding talents in his generation, including the next generation.
We have to use people from the branch to support the facade.
Deng Fu came to Deng Xilong with a respectful look on his face: "What are the instructions from the master of the family?"
Deng Xilong thought for a while and said: "You go and arrange some people to organize the village elders and other officials to petition. The content of the petition is to ask the county magistrates, county magistrates, county lieutenants and others in Nanyang to stay in their posts. I don't need to teach you how to do it."
It’s up to you.”
Deng Fu thought for a while: "Fu already understands the intention of the family leader. Can I ask the family leader to show you how far you can go?"
Deng Xilong smiled and pointed in the direction of the prefect's mansion: "Whenever you bow your head over there, you will evacuate the people."
Deng Fu accepted the order and left.
Deng Xilong arranged three things in a row, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he actually didn't want to resign.
However, Chen Yuan was so aggressive that day that he lost his temper and Deng Xilong had to resign.
The resignation actually caused some damage to Deng Xilong.
Because, even if he wins this time and Nanyang is freed from Jingzhou's control, the Nanyang Governor appointed by the imperial court in the future will never ask him to serve as the official position of county magistrate again.
Because no one likes subordinates who threaten to resign.
Therefore, Deng Xilong's official career has actually come to an end.
He has committed a serious official offense.
However, this is also where Deng Xilong was decisive.
Because he saw Chen Yuan's intentions and was obviously determined to rectify the powerful family in Nanyang.
If he didn't express his feelings with such violent actions, he was afraid that some people would not be able to bear the pressure and surrender.
Once someone surrenders, the situation will be very bad.
In any case, Chen Yuan represents the Prefectural Mufu and also the imperial court.
Once they lose this time, it will be really dangerous.
Deng Xilong was keenly aware of this, so he was doing this desperate thing.
He is also forcing Nanyang's powerful men to stand on the same front, and will never allow anyone to betray them.
If someone wants to betray, there is only one end, and that is death.
For example, Lou Gui and others.
Not only did Lou Gui and the others die, but their family was also destroyed.
Otherwise, we can't kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and we can't scare people's hearts.
Deng Xilong is indeed a wily and scheming leader, and his reputation as the leader of Nanyang's tycoons is not in vain.
With these three moves, if Chen Yuan doesn't have a good countermeasure, Jingzhou may really give up on Nanyang.
This is absolutely unacceptable to Chen Yuan.
Deng Xilong thought his actions were very secretive.
But he didn't know that after more than a year and nearly two years of development, Jinfengwei had long since grown into a qualified intelligence agency.
Especially in Jingzhou, every county has a large number of Jinfengwei spies.
Nanyang is even more important.
At this time, Chen Yuan was in the stronghold established by Jin Fengwei in Nanyang.
This is a restaurant.
It's called Jinchan Tower.
The meaning is that the golden toad attracts treasures.
The reason why it was set up as a restaurant was to amass money.
Chen Yuan has now told the people of Jinfengwei that Chen Yuan provided them with money in the first year, and from the second year onwards, Jinfengwei's funds were paid by himself.
Therefore, Jinfengwei also had to develop some businesses to maintain its operations.
Restaurants, hotels, carriage houses and even brothels are all within the scope of business opened by Jinfengwei.
These are also some of the easiest ways to collect information.
When setting up Jin Chan Tower in Nanyang, making money is not the first priority. The most important reason is to collect information.
Because the grade of Jinchan Tower is relatively high, and the Deng family was invited to invest in it, many Nanyang powerful people in Wancheng would come to Jinchan Tower to get together.
At the same time, Chen Yuan handed over the method of distilling liquor to Jin Fengwei, so Jin Chan Tower’s Jin Chan Jade Liquid is also very famous.
In fact, when the Jinchan Restaurant first opened and the Jinchan Yuye was brought out, the Deng family had not thought of taking the restaurant as their own, and also wanted to seize the Jinchan Yuye liquor recipe.
It's just that Jin Fengwei is so easy to mess with.
Not only is he secretly powerful, but openly Jin Fengwei borrows the name of the Yuan family.
As for how he borrowed it, Chen Yuan didn't ask, and he didn't want to know.
As an intelligence agency, there are bound to be some covert means.
What's more, Chen Yuan has gradually handed over Jin Fengwei to Xi Zhicai to take charge, but he has not given up the title of commander yet.
Nominally, Chen Yuan is still the biggest boss of Jin Fengwei.
At this time, Chen Yuan was sitting in the secret room of Jinchan Tower, listening to the report from the leader of Nanyang Jinfengwei.
The leader of the Jinfeng Guard in Nanyang County is a hundred households.
This man was originally a scout in the army, the first volunteer to follow Liu Bei, and a native of Zhuojun.
Therefore, I am relatively familiar with Chen Yuan.
Of the 500 volunteers Liu Bei first recruited, after excluding the dozens of people who died on the battlefield and the dozens of people who were transferred to form the Golden Wind Guards, there were about 300 people left.
Except for some of these 300 people who have become Liu Bei's personal guards, the rest now have the lowest official positions and are all village chiefs.
The one with the highest official position has become a military commander.
This group of people are Liu Bei's die-hard supporters. They not only have a sense of fellow countrymen, but also a sense of loyalty.
Thanks to his strong memory ability, Chen Yuan basically knew all of these people.
Chen Yuan was also quite impressed by the hundreds of households in front of him.
This person's name is Zhang Te, and the reason why he is so impressive is because of this name.
In a TV series "Bright Sword" that Chen Yuan liked in his previous life, the wife of the protagonist Li Yunlong wanted to name her son Li Te, but Li Yunlong refused because it was related to the word spy.
Therefore, it is easier for Chen Yuan to have an impression of people named Te.
In fact, what Chen Yuan didn't know was that Zhang Te was a very capable general.
However, although this guy is a fellow countryman of Liu Bei, he has surrendered to Cao Wei.
His deeds are scattered in "Three Kingdoms" and Pei Songzhi's notes.
According to "Wei Lue" cited in the "Three Kingdoms Chronicles of the Three Young Emperors", Zhang Te's surname was Zichan, a native of Zhuojun, Youzhou, and he was from the same hometown as Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei.
Zhang Te served under Zhuge Dan, Zhuge Liang's younger brother, in his early years, and was later appointed as the guard general of Hefei New City by Guanqiu Jian.
During Zhuge Ke's siege of the city, "Te and General Le Fang and other three armies totaled 3,000 people, and more than half of the officers and soldiers died of illness or battle." However, what he faced was Zhuge Ke's 200,000-strong army.
Faced with the severe situation of being outnumbered and outnumbered, Zhang Te remained calm and held on to the city for more than ninety days without losing anything.
After that, Zhang Te used a false surrender strategy to induce Zhuge Ke to suspend the attack and took the opportunity to strengthen the defenses.
When Zhuge Ke realized that he had been tricked and stepped up his attack, Zhang Te commanded decisively and once again kept Zhuge Ke out of the city.
In the end, Zhuge Ke suffered heavy losses and had to retreat across the board.
Zhang Te not only tried to protect Hefei New City, but also caused a huge turmoil in Soochow politics. He was called the number one city defender in the middle of the Three Kingdoms period.
In other words, Chen Yuan was not familiar with history, so he asked him to get information about such a famous general.
This is also a historical deviation that led to Zhang Te becoming one of the Five Hundred Volunteers.
Chen Yuan listened to Zhang Te reporting the information to him. Not only was it clear and organized, but the priorities were also very good. There was even some analysis behind some of the information, which made Chen Yuan secretly wonder.
As I listened, I couldn't help but turn on the system that had not been used for a long time.
In addition to Chen Yuan's information, the current system also comes with a roster.
This list contains information about everyone under Liu Bei's command.
Very detailed. How detailed?
There is even information about a soldier.
This moment made Chen Yuan very speechless.
Liu Bei now has more than 50,000 troops under his command, and more than 1,000 officials.
How could Chen Yuan go and see them one by one?
Fortunately, the system is very considerate and includes a search function.
Chen Yuan secretly thought of Zhang Te's name.
Suddenly, an attribute panel appeared in front of Chen Yuan.
Name: Zhang Te.
Position: Jinfengwei Baihu.
Cultivation level: fourth grade.
Force:69
Intelligence:75
Politics:60
Commander:85
Skill: Confusion
Specialties: Tenacity. Because of his experiences in his youth, he developed an extremely tenacious character and has the potential to become a famous defensive general.
Good guy, Chen Yuan really didn't expect that this special player would actually be a famous general seed.
These 85 commanders could be ranked in the top ten or even the top five in Jingzhou today.
Intelligence and politics are not low either, but force is a little low.
However, from the looks of it, he is about to break through to the third level and is also a master.
In short, this is a low-end version of Zhao Yun.
Even as a commander-in-chief, he is not necessarily lower than Zhao Yun, he is even higher than Zhao Yun.
If such a person is responsible for intelligence, isn't that a sign of humiliation?
Therefore, after listening to Zhang Te's report, Chen Yuan nodded: "Zichan, have you ever considered returning to the army?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Te's eyes shone with light.
"When I return to the military division, I am especially willing to serve in the army."
Seeing Zhang Te's expression, Chen Yuan knew that this person probably didn't like doing intelligence work that much, and that his favorite thing was to be in the military.
Chen Yuan smiled: "Okay, after the Nanyang incident, I can allow you to go to any military department you want."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Te thanked Chen Yuan directly: "Thank you so much, military advisor. I really want to return to the service of the third general."
Chen Yuan suddenly became interested.
There are actually people who want to serve under Zhang Fei.
You know, although Zhang Fei no longer whips his soldiers, he will never treat his soldiers like Guan Yu, who loves his soldiers as his sons.
Logically speaking, he should go back to Guan Yu.
"Zi Chan, why do you want to meet your third brother?"
Zhang Te smiled: "Let the military adviser know that although the third general has a rough personality, fighting under his command is very enjoyable and you can kill people happily."
Chen Yuan was a little speechless. Looking at you, Zhang Te, you have thick eyebrows and big eyes, but you didn't expect that you are a killer.
However, considering the person's skills and expertise, this may be a good thing.
