"I don't know what kind of person Cao Gong is, but he is worth following for his ability to reach this point and his grace and power." Chen Qun was sitting in the position where everyone was holding the moon. His gray robe and wide sleeves were spread on his knees.
He was sitting upright on the Wuzi, with his hands folded in front of him. Although he was tall, he was not burly, just a bit larger than the average person's frame.
Chen Qun is the grandson of Chen Shi, the chief of Taiqiu, and the son of Dahonglu Chen Ji.
It can be said that one is of noble birth, and one can easily be heard among the princes in the future, and it will only be a matter of time before one reaches the jade level.
With such a background, he was born with fewer detours than others for decades. Therefore, he did not need to travel around to make friends or find teachers and friends. He only had to wait for good teachers and friends to find him.
This is a reputation accumulated by three generations. People will pay attention to him as soon as he is born, so he has excellent talents and learning, good conduct and excellent reputation since he was a child.
Even if you have a bad reputation during your career, it will be quickly erased and forgotten.
What he said at this time was different from the views of many friends, but there was no need to pay attention to it because these friends were listening attentively, waiting for Chen Deng's next words.
This explanation will definitely convince them and change their view of Cao Cao.
However, Chen Qun obviously did not intend to explain too much. He glanced at everyone secretly and chuckled: "Because his reputation was gained in the bloody battles of hundreds of thousands of people."
It's that simple.
His name is so great that he can't be surrounded by people.
The family was constantly being corrupted, celebrities were constantly reviled, and starting from Dongjun, Cao Cao was surrounded by tigers and wolves. Under such difficulties, he was still able to spread his reputation for prestige and benevolence far and wide.
So how much capital is hidden under this famous reputation? It's really incalculable.
"I heard that it was a helpless act for the imperial court to reward Duke Cao," Chen Qun said with a humble smile, and in a simple sentence, he once again dropped a bombshell.
Everyone was extremely surprised, but they couldn't hide their excitement, because they really couldn't imagine this news. When they heard about the reward before, they thought it was because Cao Cao's achievements in recent years were too great. It didn't matter if he didn't have the hearts of scholars, but he had the people. reputation.
Who among the local people living in Yanzhou did not praise, "It is something that has never been seen through the ages". Who among the villagers who fled from Qingxu did not cry out, "Fortunately, Duke Cao saved his life". Even the people of Xuzhou, after experiencing Lu Bu's devastation, After the tyranny, Cao Cao was made to look like a god.
Who would have thought that it would be associated with "helplessness"? It seems that there is indeed something hidden.
Only a prominent family like the Chen family can find out this kind of hidden secret.
However, this news was not obtained by Chen Qun's discovery, but was guessed based on the situation in the world.
These planners, especially those with outstanding talents and talents, are actually temporarily unappreciated and do not hold any official positions. Most of them will find ways to plan for the world at home.
Exploring intelligence, knowing the battle situation, and then imagining the strange and turbulent waves and clouds in it, this way, you will have a great sense of participation.
Every time you think deeply, you will gain something. If you extrapolate and diverge, you will be able to make guesses in advance.
In addition to these, it is fun to criticize people. Heroes emerge in large numbers in troubled times. It is almost common for many people who were not prominent in the times to become famous in troubled times and then fall as quickly as stars.
Therefore, to be able to evaluate characters, it is also the same
It's a very delicious thing.
Chen Qun smiled modestly and said: "The emperor was trapped in Chang'an. At that time, the princes did not pursue him, but only Cao Gong, Bao Gong, and Wei Gong led the army to pursue them. They can be called loyal to the emperor. However, the ending was not good. Xu Rong Broken, defeated and returned.”
"At that time, the princes of the coalition forces only celebrated in front of Luoyang, and did not chase him. They just left."
"Now we finally see their true appearance. In fact, they are all tigers and wolves, unwilling to welcome the return of the Han Emperor. Yuan Shao even supported Liu Yu in You to proclaim the emperor, but gave up because of the departure of the scholars and the opposition of the princes. Therefore, regardless of whether Serving the emperor, or establishing another Liu family, are both inconsistent with the orthodoxy of the Chang'an court and Luoyang."
"It can be seen that Yuan Shao has no intention of supporting the emperor of Chang'an, but he does not dare to be too arrogant because of what people want."
"The emperor couldn't ask for help, so he had to go south to ask Liu Biao. However, Liu Biao was in a difficult situation and could not meet him from far away. The two tigers Li Jue were even more guarded against him and would not let him pass."
"It is therefore appropriate to reward Duke Cao at this time, to show that he has made great contributions to the world and brought peace to all people. It is just a matter of helplessness to win over Duke Cao and ask him to come to save him. Why?"
When Chen Qun said this, everyone's eyes were completely attracted. His guidance just now was to lead everyone to think step by step, and follow the context of what he said to get here.
In this process, I constantly and quietly infuse my own opinions into it, subtly making people recognize or think about it.
The last sentence asks a question and you can make a conclusion.
"The reason is that if you follow the imperial edict, you will have a correct name and can win the favor of the Han Dynasty; otherwise, all your reputation will be ruined, which can be regarded as disrespecting the court."
"And Cao Gong is wise and martial, he will definitely choose to obey the imperial edict, and then gradually welcome the emperor."
At this point, many people took a sip of wine. There were several key points in what Chen Qun said just now, the most important of which was that he believed that Han Ting had made a move with Cao Cao and wanted to ask him to rescue him.
Cao Cao was keenly aware of this, and planned to focus on welcoming the emperor back.
In this case, it would be easy for Chen Liu to mobilize troops this time.
"Where does Changwen think Cao Gong's troops will go?!"
Someone suddenly asked.
Chen Qun looked at the man and said with a smile: "I think we should go down to Yingchuan first and then occupy Runan. With these two places, we can take control of the land that has been prosperous for hundreds of years."
"Yingchuan has a prosperous population and many talented people, which cannot be compared with other counties; Runan has a million people and a large county, with many aristocratic families and extraordinary wealth."
"No one is fighting for these two counties. All ethnic groups are defending themselves and recruiting brave men to defend them. The thieves and bandits are in chaos."
"Then, since they are coming to our Yingchuan County, where does Chang Wen think he will march to?" The man asked curiously. He was already interested in the matter of Yingchuan.
This banquet belonging to Chen Qun is just a small microcosm. In fact, if the scholars in the entire Yingchuan County heard about the news that Cao Cao had been awarded a great reward, they would immediately call for friends to discuss it.
They would first guess and then bet on who would be elected as an important official in which state, secretly competing in order to become a talking point at the banquet.
What's more, this time is related to the future fate of the entire Yingchuan.
Who wouldn’t want to guess correctly and be the center of attention at every banquet! Just like Chen Changwen now!
"Haha," Chen Qun immediately laughed: "I guess it will be Yingyin!"
After all, that was where all the Xun clans gathered, and Xun Yu was an important adviser who defected to Cao Cao to support the internal affairs of Yanzhou and Xuzhou.
Chen Qun once discussed with Kong Rong how many people there are in the world, and they both agreed that Xun Yu should be the leader, and he was unparalleled in the world.
Regardless of talent, character, character, or vision, at least no one can match Ying Shui, and Chen Qun secretly admires her the most.
Therefore, he believed that Yingyin must be used as a basis to gradually collect it.
Everyone agreed and cheered loudly while drinking and talking happily.
…
On the second day, Zhang Liao's troops arrived at Changshe.
Along the way, they swept away thousands of bandits and expelled tens of thousands of strong bandits. They played songs and drums to enter the city, took the city as their own, led the county magistrate to hand over official duties, and stationed troops and horses outside the east and west cities on the outskirts of Changshe County.
Porridge soup areas were set up along the way, and county government grain depots were opened to feed the people. After waiting for the soldiers and horses to transport grain and grass, they posted notices to release grain for several days, issued loan coupons, and introduced 30,000 villagers. During the spring plowing, they reclaimed the land in Changshe. The main land is farmland.
In just seven days, Zhang Liao's momentum swept inside and outside the Changshe, surprising all the sages.
People rushed around overnight asking who Zhang Liao was. !
Finally, someone with extensive knowledge found out that Zhang Liao was Lu Bu's old subordinate, and Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf cavalry made a living by raiding, and the wolves were plundering and eating wherever they went.
But now he is actually giving rice porridge to the refugees in the name of General Dejian.
As a result, many homeless people rushed to join the camp in order to obtain long-term food. They supported Zhang Liao and guarded the Changshe, waiting for Cao's army to enter.
Zhang Liao led his army so quickly that almost everyone thought he was going to Yingyin, but unexpectedly he went directly to Changshe County.
There were originally more than 3,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the county, which were led and supported by several large local families and the Chen family. Many of these soldiers and horses came from the family's slave status.
As a result, Zhang Liao's army marched directly to the city without any communication or consultation. With the order of the general appointed by the emperor's edict, in the name of sweeping away the bandits, they actually took out the heads of several nearby bandit leaders and threw them under the city.
What to do? If you resist, you will start a war and use force, and you may even be labeled as a traitor.
General Zhang Liao was clearly here to clear the way, and Cao Cao's army was right behind him. Generally, they would arrive no more than seven days apart.
Therefore, they conscientiously chose to open the door and marched in, praising the big man together.
Then let the news out secretly to make other families prepare.
But now, it was Changshe Chen's turn to be anxious. They really thought they would be in peace, but they didn't expect that the arrival would be so strange. Zhang Liao came straight to Changshe.
Chen Qun's father, Chen Ji, was thinking hard at home. He only thought that Zhang Liao planned to seize Changshe and then attack other places. It was just unlucky for the Chen family to be the first to be targeted.
But then, news came one after another that Zhang Liao was providing porridge and food, and implementing Cao's farming order.
This is to take in and treat the refugees, accumulate reputation, and use political achievements to maintain peace and tranquility for the people.
At the same time, I also heard some rumors secretly criticizing Chen.
Just one of them is enough to make them feel uneasy: The Chen clan has five hoards of grain, but only one hundred dendrobiums are willing to save the mountain people.
These words put them on the fire, and their century-old reputation was severely shaken.
At this point, Chen Qun decided to go to the city in person to meet with Zhang Liao, but failed to see him twice.
And every time after going there, Zhang Liao would order more grain distribution.
Three days later, Zhang Liao directly announced that the food was gone and there was nothing he could do to help. If he could get the support of the merchants of the family, he could continue, but he failed to get an audience with local celebrities.
Well, public outrage suddenly arose, and the voice of denunciation of the Chen family became more intense. Chen Ji was so angry that he almost lost his temper. He had been a gentleman all his life, but he never thought that he would have to experience such a thing in his old age!
So Chen Qun was asked to see Zhang Liao again and raise an army to investigate the crime!
If there is no good result, we should unite the family to take action to drive away Zhang Liao, or count his crimes in the past and kill him on your behalf.
…
At this time, inside the Dongying outside Changshe City.
Cheng Yu and Zhang Han smiled happily after receiving the information. Zhang Han directly opened the seal of the wine and took a sip to quench his thirst.
Cheng Yu said with emotion: "Bo Chang understands the way of people's hearts, and he has the demeanor of a lord."
Cheng Yu only mentioned it once before, and he wanted to use Guo Jia's plan to make some changes. Although Guo Jia's plan was good, it seemed that he really "persuaded" the Chen family of Changshe and Jun Lanmin. He was quite soft, and the choice was always left to Chen. Shi.
Of course, it was expected that Chen would definitely come, and that was based on Guo Jia's understanding.
But Cheng Yu felt that it was not appropriate enough. He planned to use "coercion" and conspiracy to force Chen to dare not continue to protect himself because he could not protect himself.
During the year he was the prefect of Chenliu, he realized that he was very familiar with managing the people, and he was even more comfortable in managing the local nobles, so he slightly changed his plan and suggested "disappearing".
After hearing what he said, Zhang Han asked Cheng Yu if he would consider whether doing so would destroy the family's century-old name. Cheng Yu said, "If the name is not used by me, it is not worthy of respect."
Zhang Han was amazed and secretly said that he was ruthless.
That's why there were so many ex-boyfriend series in previous lives, Zhang Hanxin said.
So following Cheng Yu's idea, he planned to give Chen a small "moral kidnapping" shock, and also proposed "cutting off food" and "diversion of trouble to the east".
The old man and the young man hit it off immediately and put the plan into action, secretly sending spies to stir up rumors and bring Chen to the forefront.
At home, people are still criticizing the world's figures, and they are conclusive about Cao Cao and his subordinates' civil and military skills. This fire actually burned directly to his ankles.
Zhang Han sighed at this moment and said: "I don't really want to destroy the Chen family and force that Da Honglu to death. He is a real gentleman, more upright than me."
Cheng Yu looked at Zhang Han quietly and listened to his words.
"There is still a clear solution to this plan, which means I have left a very open path for them to escape." Zhang Han said calmly.
At this time, Cheng Yu lowered his head and thought again.
The grain in the warehouse has been exhausted...it is urgent...if you take advantage of this urgency, the kindness will be heavier. People's hearts have always been like this. The more critical the moment, the more likely they are to remember kindness.
At this time, if the Chen family enters the situation to help them, then all rumors will be dispelled, and their reputation and reputation will rise again.
Well, humanity, Jang Han retains a hint of humanity in this scheme, but not much.
Together, everyone wins.
He immediately showed a faint smile, and looked at Zhang Han with a hint of appreciation: "Bo Chang died with a way of life, but he was also a benevolent person."
After listening to the conversation between the two, Cao Ang suddenly realized it after thinking about it for a while. He was so impressed that he looked at Zhang Han with stern eyes and said: "Bo Chang, I understand. If Chen is willing to continue to provide food and grass in times of crisis, then It can win the hearts of the people, and it can solve the so-called urgent needs of the army. Moreover, we can get along well with each other and even be very grateful for our sincere cooperation!"
"Wonderful! It depends on whether Mrs. Chen is willing to go down this level!"
They waited for a long time, and Zhang Liao sent news from the city, asking Chen Qun to see him.
"See!"
Zhang Han and Cheng Yu said immediately.
It’s time to go meet this celebrity from the Yingchuan Chen family!
…
In the city, Chen Qun came in an aggressive manner, with sharp speeches and a very tough temperament. He spoke loudly in front of Zhang Liao without using any curse words.
Su Wei, the disciple next to Zhang Liao, although he didn't understand what he heard, he knew he was angry. He couldn't help but hold the handle of his sword, ready to kill this man at any time.
However, Zhang Liao was extremely well-educated and always maintained a half-smiling gaze, still waiting for the military advisor to arrive.
"Chen Changwen has a good literary talent, but he scolds us for being shameless and bringing trouble to Chen; scolds us for being arrogant and ignorant, for trying to prey on people's hearts."
"But if the Chen family can stand up and renew this supply, when my lord arrives, won't the gratitude of tens of thousands of people and thousands of refugees be credited to your name, the Chen family?"
Chen Qun turned around and saw a young Confucian scholar walking over with a faint smile. Even Zhang Liao stood up and saluted him.
At this time, it was already known that he was the person who could really speak in this trip, so I am afraid that this person was also the one plotting against Chen behind his back.
Zhang Han unknowingly walked up to Chen Qun, still smiling.
Putting one hand on the document, he said: "You should think carefully about the long article. If you make good friends with our army at this time and take in and treat the refugees together, it will be like giving timely help. It will definitely be passed down as a good story in the future, and it will be remembered forever. And no one knows the twists and turns.”
Chen Qun's face twitched, and his heart felt as if he was pinched by an invisible hand.
Being calculated.
Isn't this just a show of force? You're just a fool, but you want to take control of me, Mrs. Chen, at will! ?
Chen Qun looked at Zhang Han coldly, his integrity in his heart was weak and he was unwilling to bow his head. He quietly put his hands under the document.
Russian Qing, a sudden lift! !
ah! ?
Not moving at all...
Chen Qun felt that his fingers were broken due to the force.
Is this document nailed to the ground? !
Oops, it’s so late. I’ll update it tomorrow.
