Chapter 2502 further (additional update)
“These guys,” Fei Qian knocked on the table gently, “are just watching a joke...”
??These guys Fei Qian talks about are from Shandong, and they mainly belong to the category of descendants of the Jizhou gentry.
??As Cao Cao launched a purge in Yingchuan, some officials who violated the law were arrested, questioned, and punished. However, a greater wave of resistance was immediately triggered, and for a while there was a vague state of smoke.
"Lord..." Pang Tong stood aside, with a hint of inquiry in his voice.
Fei Qian stood up and looked at the map of Shandong for a long time, "Cao Mengde...is he waiting for news from me?" 』
"information? Pang Tong frowned.
?Fei Qian nodded, and then said, "Perhaps these Shandong nobles are also waiting for my news..."
Pang Tong''s eyebrows twitched slightly, and he immediately understood, "My lord is saying that the current situation in Shandong is actually... not considered to be a situation where fire and water are incompatible with each other?" 』
??Fei Qian laughed, "Unless it''s really a life-and-death battle, I''ll leave three points of leeway...foreign enemies..." Fei Qian pointed to himself, "Foreign enemies are peeping outside, so both sides are naturally a little wary..."
Although Fei Qian sent some people to add fuel to the fire, on the one hand, not all of these people on the outside are 007, and they have no ability to break into the devil''s cave alone. On the other hand, because the big man''s own message transmission speed is slow, various places Relatively isolated, even if turmoil occurs in one region, it may not immediately spread to other regions.
So overall, there are actions at present, but the effects are average.
Pang Tong nodded, laughed twice and said, "So, my lord, do you want to take another look?" But in this case, both of them will be kept..."
This is the most normal choice, and it seems to be the one that maximizes benefits.
When Shandong is fighting among itself and beating each other to pieces, Fei Qian, the "foreign enemy", can easily take advantage of him if he takes action again. It is precisely because of this that both parties in Shandong who are currently in love and killing each other will subconsciously hold back.
Fei Qian was silent for a while, shook his head slightly and said, "I''m going to help Cao Mengde." 』
Pang Tong frowned slightly, and after a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Your lord, you think... this Cao Mengde... might lose?" 』
?Fei Qian nodded.
Cao Cao, if the current situation is followed, he may indeed lose.
It is possible to lose, but not necessarily. After all, Cao Cao has many experiences of turning defeat into victory, and there is no telling what tricks he may have hidden...
Cao Cao only has military power in his hands, and among the military power, only the Qingzhou soldiers can be regarded as the power that Cao Cao truly controls. They are also a power that is completely incompatible with the gentry children. However, this power is a double-edged sword. Cao Cao cannot fully control it, and even Not even Cao Cao''s successor could control it.
As for the general''s private soldiers, these things, at this stage, have more advantages than disadvantages for Cao Cao, but as time goes by, the disadvantages will become more and more serious, until the day when Cao Cao cannot control it, or the first generation When the leaders grow old, these inheritance-based private military structures will become a cancer for the Cao family''s regime.
After all, the situation faced by Sun Erluzi is the future that Cao Pi may have to face.
It is impossible for Cao Cao not to see this.
?In addition, Cao Cao did not make good personnel reserves.
In Fei Qian''s memory, Cao Cao issued the order to recruit talents, and issued it many times. At present, Fei Qian encouraged Han Emperor Liu Xie to issue the order first. Coupled with Guanzhong''s attraction to poor people, and As for the children from poor families that Cao Cao is currently attracting, they are not very popular...
It is not difficult to kill someone, but who should be replaced is the problem.
??? If we were to switch to a "Sun Ce" type, bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang away out the structure of the original house was completely destroyed, rebuilding it on the same spot, of course it is also a coping strategy. But the result is that during the period of reconstruction, all people have no place to live.
The safest thing is to bring in a middle-of-the-road faction, neither from Cao Cao''s side nor from Shandong side, such as the Jizhou faction or even the Qingxu faction, and then fill in the holes in the house first, and wait until everyone has settled in. , come back to settle accounts after autumn.
Historically, Cao Cao used people from Jizhou to compete, but it is obvious that at this stage, the strength of the people in Jizhou was dispersed, and it can even be said to be relatively weak, and they were completely unable to compete with the already established Yingchuan.
So Cao Cao is very likely to choose another direction...
Substituting people also takes time.
The ensuing problem is that people inside the house will find that Cao Cao does not dare to knock on the house, so in order to prevent being settled by Qiu Hou, they will naturally delay repairing the house as much as possible, preferably until everyone is exhausted. , naturally there is no energy to come to the autumn harvest to settle accounts, and there may even be a chance to do it the other way around...
To solve this problem, Cao Cao not only needs to use the army, but also needs to be able to mobilize a large number of grassroots personnel to the front line at any time, just like Fei Qian, just like Longyou Longxi, not only has the strong Taishi Ci as a force deterrent He has the power, and the shrewd Jia Xu is making overall plans, and at the same time, a large number of grassroots officials have to be sent to the local areas. However, Cao Cao can only achieve half of these three points at most.
So, Fei Qian judged that even though Cao Cao was killing happily now, Cao Cao was actually at a disadvantage.
?Most of the people who have no place to live after their houses are demolished are ordinary people...
?Then there will inevitably be people who take advantage of public grievances to cause trouble.
?First of all, someone used the name of Cao Cao''s celebration to plunder people''s wealth.
Such behavior will inevitably cause unrest among the people.
Cao Cao will definitely notice this matter and deal with it immediately.
In the process of dealing with it, problems with officials will lead to subsequent difficulties in people''s livelihood, and then all the blame will be placed on Cao Cao...
You must know that although there are only four words for "Yang Feng Yin Violation", there are many ways to do it. "Inaction" is just the simplest one, and there are many other, more clever methods that can make Cao Cao''s original Many orders go in the wrong direction and are completely ineffective.
?These methods and officials did not appear in the same way when Fei Qian went to Longyou and Longxi before?
From this point of view, perhaps Cao Cao did what he did now because he was influenced by Fei Qian''s previous work in Longyou and Longxi to deal with officials and rectify their governance?
『Cao Mengde, if you really have a three-point chance of winning, you dare to bet...』 Fei Qian sighed and shook his head.
?? Cao Cao had this temper back then, and it doesn''t seem to have changed much now.
Cao Cao was gambling, and so were the Shandong gentry.
The one who bets is outside the market.
“Prime Minister Cao...” Fei Qian said slowly, “This is waiting for me to place a bet...”
Sometimes, the outcome of the game can only be determined after everyone at the poker table has played all their cards. But those who are sitting at the card table now are actually staring outside the card table.
The people in the courtyard were beating each other back and forth, but their eyes were fixed on the outside of the courtyard.
?Fei Qian is now standing "outside the courtyard". It is of course impossible to let Fei Qian leave, but you can throw some "knives, guns and sticks" into the yard...
“So, what should we give to Prime Minister Cao?” Pang Tong also thought about it, and then asked, "Weapon?" Or money and food? 』
Neither. 』
?Fei Qian smiled gently, "But for Cao Mengde, it must be a good thing..."
?Fei Qian feels that this is like an evolution.
The evolution of China itself.
?This kind of evolution may not have earth-shattering sound effects, but it has profound meaning.
In the history of mankind, some species of Homo sapiens and Homo sapiens have merged with each other, while others have exterminated each other. Just like when Darwin''s theory of evolution first began, many people didn''t believe they were monkeys. It is true that humans are not monkeys, but they are actually relatives. The genes of humans and chimpanzees can even be roughly equal in simple mathematics.
So, when facing the Shandong monkey, does Fei Qian have the right to laugh at him from above?
After all, they all came out of the same monkey nest. Fei Qian just took half a step forward. Then Cao Cao watched, and then tried to follow.
?In a sense, Fei Qian, the first monkey, wants to give a little sweetness to the other monkeys that follow.
It''s just that Fei Qian and Cao Cao have different concepts.
For Cao Cao, perhaps even Akano Qianli could accept tens of millions of casualties as long as he could achieve his goal.
But for Fei Qian, those people come first.
So what Fei Qian wants to give to Cao Cao and Shandong must be something to promote the evolution of these "monkeys".
Also called a catalyst.
The autumn wind is getting colder and whistling by.
The yellow leaves on the treetops outside the window were blown away by the autumn wind, and then slumped to the ground.
Send gunpowder. Fei Qian said slowly, "Let someone send some gunpowder over." You don’t need too much, just enough to use it two or three times...』
Pang Tong was startled for a moment, then he clapped his hands and smiled, "Exactly!" You still need a sharp knife to pry open the turtle shell...but..."
To those manors and forts in Shandong, they are like the armor of Shandong. As long as you peel off this layer of armor, you will find out whether it is a person or a monkey inside. But giving gunpowder is risky, which was something Fei Qian was hesitant about before.
Pang Tong also glanced at Fei Qian with some hesitation, as if he didn''t know what he should say.
“Are you worried that Cao Mengde will attack Guanzhong if he has these gunpowder?” Fei Qian asked.
Pang Tong nodded.
Never doubt the Chinese people’s ability to copycat.
Do you believe that Chinese people can roll nuclear bombs with their hands?
So if Cao Cao was really forced to that point, although Cao Cao couldn''t make a nuclear bomb, it was not completely impossible to make black gunpowder. After all, the matter of black gunpowder was actually recorded in the Taoist alchemy of the Han Dynasty...
Fei Qian smiled and said: "This is the question for Cao Mengde... I also want to know whether Cao Mengde today is Prime Minister Cao, or... haha..."
?Fei Qian is no longer the same Fei Qian he used to be. In the process of his rise, some things about Fei Qian have changed, and some things have not changed. What about Cao Cao? How much has Cao Cao changed?
Everything is actually one choice after another.
So, how will Cao Cao choose this time?
…(｀)Ψ…
Choices are everywhere.
Lu Hong has come to the government office in Yecheng for the third time.
Theoretically speaking, Cao Cao''s political center should be in Xu County, but now it is slowly moving to Yecheng. In other words, just like when Emperor Guangwu changed from a wealthy family in Nanyang to the son-in-law of Jizhou, I don''t know whether it is a step forward or a step back?
This was the former residence of Yuan Shao. It was very splendid with carved beams and painted buildings, but behind the splendidness, it was cold.
??After Lu Hong received the examination, he walked into the side door, filled with anger.
His investigation in Jizhou was stopped again.
Because of his people, he had a conflict with Xia Houyuan.
??In this conflict, if he had been beaten, Lu Hong would not have been so angry. After all, Xia Houyuan had a bad temper, and Lu Hong was mentally prepared, but he didn''t expect that his men would be killed directly by Xia Houyuan!
Of course, Xia Houyuan also plausibly said that if Lu Hong''s men were spying on the military situation, killing them would be in vain! They even wanted to hold Lu Hong accountable!
Before Xia Houyuan, he suffered defeats under the hussar, but it does not mean that Xia Houyuan is completely incompetent. Later, in the battle in Youbei, Xia Houyuan also showed the bravery and skill of a Han cavalry general, which was more or less a move back. gained a little fame.
Wherever there is a core of the Cao family, there will definitely be a garrison of the Cao family or the Xiahou family.
Here in Yecheng, it is naturally Xia Houyuan''s place.
??Cao Cao went to Xu County, and the main defense here in Yecheng was naturally controlled by Xia Houyuan.
The behavior of Lu Hong''s men was, to a certain extent, indeed spying on the military camp.
As for the reason for spying on the military camp, Xia Houyuan felt that he did not need to hear any explanation.
『Damn General Baidi...』
Lu Hong kept cursing in his stomach, and then followed the clerks in the government office to the front of the hall.
??Chen Qun is in the hall, and on one side of Chen Qun is Xia Houyuan.
…
?Lu Hong’s eyes crossed with Xia Houyuan’s.
Please sit down. School Lu," Chen Qun said, "I heard about what happened yesterday..."
?Lu Hong leaned forward slightly, "Chen Shijun, my subordinates are investigating the person who spread rumors and caused trouble..."
Xia Houyuan''s eyes widened, "Rat!" Are you slandering someone? ! 』
Lu Hong ignored him and continued to say to Chen Qun: "I received intelligence that the person who spread rumors was the Taoist You Fang in General Xiahou''s camp. My original intention was to check on this Taoist You Fang... As a result, General Xiahou not only used various He made things difficult for me and even killed my subordinates! This clearly means that the lord is not taken seriously, no..."
"fart! Xia Houyuan said angrily, "It''s obviously your people who want to break in and disrupt the army!" 』
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Chen Qun quickly stretched out his hand and said, "Don''t be impatient!" Everybody sit down! 』
The two of them sat down separately.
“Nowadays, the country is in turmoil and the local area is unstable. When the top and bottom are united and the internal and external forces work together, how can we fight with each other and act out of will? If we hurt each other because of this, wouldn’t it mean that the loved ones would be in pain and the enemies would be happy? ” Chen Qun’s tone was gentle, but his attitude was very stern, “School Secretary Lu has the responsibility of checking local treachery, and General Xiahou has the responsibility of garrisoning and defending Jing’an. Although their responsibilities are different, they all work hard for the emperor and the lord. , loyal and responsible! What happened yesterday was just a misunderstanding...』
Chen Qun settled the matter, but Lu Hong was unwilling to accept it. After all, the person who died was one of his men. "Chen Shijun!" Now there are unidentified spies operating near Yecheng, spreading rumors and disturbing people''s hearts! If they cannot be eliminated early and the culprits behind the scenes are investigated, the consequences may be disastrous! 』
A person dies, and then everything is fine after a simple misunderstanding?
Xia Houyuan always had a bad temper. When he heard Lu Hong''s words, he became furious. He stood up and kicked the desk away. He rushed to Lu Hong with two big steps and stretched out his hand to hold Lu Hong down. He pressed Lu Hong almost to the ground, then pulled out the sword from his waist and placed it on Lu Hong''s neck, "My maid, raise him!" How dare you say it again? ! 』
After all, Xia Houyuan is also a brave warrior galloping on the battlefield. Like Lu Hong, ten of them combined are not enough to defeat Xia Houyuan. Suddenly, Xia Houyuan''s sword was held at his vital point, and Lu Hong''s His face suddenly turned pale, his lips trembled greatly, but he couldn''t say anything.
??Chen Qun did not expect Xiahou Yuan to move so fast. He was surprised at first, and then hurriedly shouted: "General Xiahou!" This is the school minister personally appointed by the lord! What are you doing! Let him go! 』
Xia Houyuan glanced at Chen Qun.
??If Chen Qun asked him to let him go, Xia Houyuan might not be willing to listen, but if he said it was "appointed by the lord", Xia Houyuan would naturally consider it.
Xia Houyuan deliberately drew his sword on Lu Hong''s neck, and then let go. The blade cut open the oily skin on Lu Hong''s neck, and a trace of blood flowed out...
??Lu Hong felt the stinging pain on his neck, so he howled and covered his neck, thinking that Xia Houyuan had wiped his neck. When he saw a little blood on his hand, he almost collapsed to the ground and almost fainted.
Lu Hong is just an ordinary boy from a poor family, and martial arts training, which requires a lot of meat, is obviously not something that a boy from a poor family can afford. Therefore, Lu Hong has no experience in fighting at all. His pride was wiped out at such a moment. Devastated, the fear of having the blade pressed against his throat was something he couldn''t resist with the power of his words...
When he realized that he was not dead, Lu Hong subconsciously struggled to Chen Qun''s side. In shock, he hugged Chen Qun''s calf and gasped: "My Lord, please save me, my Lord, please save me..." Lu Hong, who had been so proud just now, hugged Chen Qun''s calf and gasped. Hong''s face was pale now, tears were streaming down his face, and he was extremely embarrassed.
General Xiahou! Threatening officials with weapons and openly roaring in court! Do you want to rebel? ! Chen Qun was also very dissatisfied with Xia Houyuan''s behavior, which did not show any concern for him. It could even be said that Xia Houyuan was challenging Chen Qun''s authority!
“Heh…” Xia Houyuan put away his sword and saluted Chen Qun, “I’m sorry, I was impulsive at a certain moment…accept the fight and accept the punishment!” Please forgive me! 』
??? Chen Qun saw Xia Houyuan like this, what else could he do?
Of course I forgive him.
After all, it can’t be said that the fight with Xia Houyuan is really a real fight with real swords and guns, right?
As for Lu Hong, just give him some comfort...
?This incident, for some reason, spread like wildfire in Yecheng the next day. Soon everyone knew that Lu Hong was scared to tears by Xia Houyuan in front of Chen Qun!
Crying!
Even Lu Hong shed a few tears, which are described in great detail.
As for Xia Houyuan, Chen Qun fined him a fine.
?Of course, Xia Houyuan didn''t regard the mere fine as a problem at all, and even showed off to his own subordinates...
…┐(～)┌…
With a gentle smile, Chen Qun returned the salute to his subordinates who paid tribute to him. After finishing the day''s work, he returned to his small courtyard, took off his heavy official robe and put on light clothes.
People are gone? ” Chen Qun closed his eyes slightly and asked softly.
The servant lowered his head and said, "Let''s go." 』
"Yeah...I know..." Chen Qun nodded.
??In the past few days, Lu Hong was jumping up and down. Not only did Xia Houyuan dislike him, but Chen Qun also didn''t like him.
?Now that Lu Hong was humiliated by Xia Houyuan in person, he naturally had no shame to stay in Yecheng.
Since Lu Hong has left, then...
Chen Qun stood in front of the hall and was silent for a long time.
