When Chen Yuan thought about this, his head felt a little big.
Damn, the good places are really taken over by dogs.
It was so hard to find a good site for Liu Bei, but if it didn't work, I would let myself, the eldest brother, go on a killing spree, either to conquer many wealthy families in Nanyang, or to conquer the Huang family in Jiangxi.
Of course, these are Chen Yuan's own blind thoughts.
Of course it's impossible to take such a rough approach.
After much deliberation, Chen Yuan felt that Nanyang was better. Although there were many wealthy families in Nanyang, there was room for manipulation, so it would be easier to deal with than the dominant Huang family in Jiangxia.
Don't worry about this for now, the most urgent thing now is to help Lu Zhi kill Zhang Jiao before Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and others can achieve the result.
Otherwise, once Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun achieve victory, Lu Zhi will not be far away from being questioned.
After all, the three of them set off from Luoyang at the same time to suppress the Yellow Turbans. It makes no sense that both groups achieved strategic results, while you, Lu Zhi, gained nothing at all.
When the time comes, you will naturally be asked about your guilt.
However, Chen Yuan discovered a problem. Perhaps because of the small number of troops and the lack of top experts in the army, Lu Zhi did not seem to intend to attack Guangzong in a hurry. He seemed to intend to besiege him to death.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with Lu Zhi's method.
Although the Yellow Turbans had more people than Lu Zhi, there were more than 100,000 Yellow Turbans, while Lu Zhi only had 50,000.
But there is a problem here. Lu Zhi's 50,000 troops are all the Central Army and Northern Army of the imperial court, and they are very powerful.
If it weren't for the great sage Zhang Jiao among the Yellow Turbans, who possessed all kinds of unfathomable abilities, Lu Zhi would have defeated Guangzong long ago.
However, since Zhang Jue is not dead yet, if he forces an attack on the city, the losses will be extremely heavy. Lu Zhi does not want to take this method, so he and Zhang Jue spend time here.
In Lu Zhi's opinion, if this consumption continues, Zhang Jiao will be consumed sooner or later.
As for Zhangjiaoyu, the net is broken?
Lu Zhi said that he was not a vegetarian. Even if he could not defeat Zhang Jiao, he was not without the power to fight back and his defense could still be defended.
It's just that what you think is what you think, and the court doesn't think so.
The imperial court would think that Lu Zhi was neglecting military orders and failing to suppress the Yellow Turbans.
Therefore, Chen Yuan now wants to help Lu Zhi kill Zhang Jue as soon as possible. In this way, not only Lu Zhi can avoid the disaster, but Liu Bei can also get some credit again.
However, before that, let's bribe that little Huangmen Zuo Feng.
Sure enough, within a few days, Lu Zhi asked Liu Bei to go to Yingchuan to support Huangfu Song.
Seeing that Liu Bei was about to agree, Chen Yuan hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty Lu Gong, our soldiers from the Polu camp have been fighting for thousands of miles continuously for many months, and they are exhausted. In addition, there are soldiers in the army who are sick, and they can't bear to travel again.
I also ask Lu Gong to be considerate and let me rest for a few more days before we can make the trip."
Lu Zhi was stunned when he heard this. He had not thought of this.
When he heard what Chen Yuanyi said at this time, he realized that Liu Bei had set out from Youzhou to Beihai, Qingzhou, and then rushed to him from Beihai. It was indeed a long journey and a long expedition.
Therefore, Lu Zhi was not angry and nodded: "What Zichu said is true, but I didn't think it through well. Let's do this, Xuande, you will rest for another five days and go to Yingchuan in five days. Do you have any objections?"
Although Liu Bei didn't know what Chen Yuan meant by stopping him from going to Yingchuan, he knew that Chen Yuan would not harm him, so he didn't interrupt.
When he heard Lu Zhi asking him this, Liu Bei naturally looked at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan thought for a moment, and he felt that the Xiaohuang Gate should be arriving soon, and five days was enough.
Therefore, Chen Yuan nodded to Liu Bei.
Seeing this, Liu Bei quickly agreed.
After leaving Lu Zhi's camp and entering Liu Bei's camp, Liu Bei could no longer hold himself back and asked Chen Yuan, "Zichu, what do you mean?"
Chen Yuan knew what Liu Bei meant, but he couldn't answer truthfully.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain it.
Fortunately, Chen Yuan had already expected it and had already thought of a way to explain it.
"Brother, we can't run around like this anymore. The brothers in the camp are already exhausted. Think about it, it's another thousand miles from here to Yingchuan. If this continues, the brothers won't be able to bear it."
When Liu Bei heard Chen Yuan's words, he suddenly woke up.
Liu Bei knew that what Chen Yuan said was right. For so many days in Beihai, he and Chen Yuan did not go out to suppress bandits. However, the brothers in the Polu camp did not idle for a day, and then they trekked thousands of miles to Guangzong with him. It was indeed time for repairs.
For a moment.
Otherwise, if this continues, it will collapse.
Liu Bei looked ashamed: "Fortunately, Zichu reminded me, otherwise I would have made a big mistake."
You must know that the soldiers in the Polu Camp, except for the Yellow Turbans who joined later, the first few hundred people were all Liu Bei's compatriots.
In today's era, the feeling of fellow villagers is a special feeling, and the cohesion is very strong.
Let's put it this way, these hundreds of soldiers are the least likely to betray Liu Bei. Even if Liu Bei is at the end of his rope, most of these people will die with Liu Bei.
This is the friendship of fellow villagers in this era.
This is not made up. You can refer to Liu Bang's fellow villagers, Xiao He and Fan Kuai, who are the most trusted people by Liu Bang.
As for those people at the back, such as Han Xin and others, they are far behind.
Therefore, in the same way, the ones Liu Bei trusts the most are Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Chen Yuan. Among them, Zhang Fei and Chen Yuan are not only his brothers, but also his fellow countrymen, and they can be called his confidants.
Next are the hundreds of soldiers. If these soldiers can persevere, as Liu Bei grows stronger, sooner or later they will become commanders of villages, commanders of the army, and even military commanders and captains.
As for generals, it depends on one's own luck, not just someone from the same hometown can be promoted.
This requires ability, extraordinary ability.
When Chen Yuan saw Liu Bei's letter, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. The next step was to wait for the arrival of Xiaohuangmen Zuo Feng.
After Zuo Feng is dealt with, he will help Lu Zhi kill Zhang Jue. It would be even more perfect if Lu Zhi can take another step forward with this achievement.
When the time comes, Liu Yu and Lu Zhi will help the court, which will be of great benefit.
More importantly, Chen Yuan was thinking that after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, would Liu Bei have the opportunity to hijack the emperor and command the princes, or take the opportunity to enter Guanzhong and become emperor?
This is a question worth thinking about.
However, there are too many things that need to be considered in this strategy. It is too strenuous to do it alone, and I will be bald.
Chen Yuan is a little irritable. He is in urgent need of some counselors to plan and formulate the next strategy with him.
It would be great if someone like Jia Xu or Xun Yu could come.
Just as Chen Yuan called, Xiaohuangmen Zuo Feng came, with greedy eyes.
