Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2502 further (add more)

  『These guys,』 Fei Qian tapped on the table lightly, 『Are you watching a joke...』

  The guys Feiqian was talking about were from Shandong, and they mainly belonged to the children of Jizhou gentry.

  Following Cao Cao’s campaign against Yingchuan, some government officials who had acted positively and violated the law were arrested, questioned, and punished. However, a larger wave of resistance was immediately aroused, and there was a faint state of gunpowder for a while.

  『My lord…』Pang Tong stood aside, and there was some questioning in his voice.

   Fei Qian stood up and looked at the map of Shandong for a long time, "Cao Mengde...is he waiting for my news?" 』

"information? ” Pang Tong frowned.

  Fei Qian nodded, and then said, "Perhaps, these Shandong gentry are also waiting for news from me..."

  Pang Tong's brows and eyes twitched slightly, and he immediately understood, "My lord is saying that Shandong is like this now, but in fact...isn't it a state of incompatibility?" 』

  Fei Qian laughed, "Unless it's really life-and-death, there will always be a three-point margin...Foreign enemies..." Fei Qian pointed to himself, "Foreign enemies are peeping outside, and both sides are naturally a little afraid..."

Although Fei Qian sent some people to add fuel to the flames, on the one hand, not all of these outsiders are 007, and they don't have the ability to break into the devil's cave alone; Relatively isolated, even if turmoil occurs in one area, it may not spread to other areas immediately.

  So on the whole, there are actions at present, but the effect is average.

  Pang Tong nodded, laughed twice and said, "So, my lord wants to take another look?" It’s just that if you do this, you’ll keep both of them…”

   This is the most normal choice, and it seems to be the choice that maximizes the benefits.

  When Shandong fights in the nest and fights with each other, Fei Qian, the "foreign enemy", can easily reap the benefits of the fisherman. It is precisely because of this that both parties in Shandong who are currently in love with each other will subconsciously keep their hands.

   Feiqian was silent for a while, then shook his head slightly and said, "I'm going to help Cao Mengde. 』

  Pang Tong frowned slightly, and after a while, said in a deep voice, "My lord thinks... this Cao Mengde... might lose? 』

   Fei Qian nodded.

  Cao Cao, according to the current situation, may indeed lose.

   It is possible to lose, but not necessarily. After all, Cao Cao has many times of experience in turning defeats into victories, so there may be some tricks hidden...

Cao Cao only has military power in his hands, and among the military power, only Qingzhou soldiers can be regarded as the real power that Cao Cao has, and it is also a power that is completely incompatible with the children of the gentry. However, this power is a double-edged sword, and Cao Cao cannot completely control it. Even Cao Cao's successor could not control it.

As for the general’s private soldiers, these things, at this stage, are more beneficial than harmful to Cao Cao, but as time goes by, the disadvantages will become more and more serious, until the day when Cao Cao can’t control it, or the first generation When the leader of the Cao family gets old, these private soldier structures of the inheritance system will become a cancer of the Cao regime.

  After all, the situation faced by Sun Erlianzi 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 a good reserve of personnel.

In Fei Qian's memory, Cao Cao promulgated the recruitment order, and issued it many times, but at the moment, Fei Qian encouraged the Han Emperor Liu Xie to issue the recruitment order first. As for the underprivileged children that Cao Cao is currently absorbing, they are not very successful...

   Killing people is not difficult, but who to replace is the problem.

  If it is said to change to a "Sun Ce" type, it is of course a coping strategy to destroy the structure of the original house and rebuild it in situ. But the result is that during this period of reconstruction, all people have no place to live.

What is safe is to change to a middle school, neither from Cao Cao's side, nor from Shandong, such as the Jizhou school, or even the Qingxu school, and then fill in the holes in the house first, and wait for everyone to live. , Come to settle accounts after autumn.

  Historically, Cao Cao used the people of Jizhou to contend, but obviously, at this stage, the power of the people of Jizhou was dispersed, and it can even be said to be relatively weak, completely unable to compete with Yingchuan, which has already established itself.

  So Cao Cao is likely to choose another direction...

   Substitution also takes time.

The ensuing problem is that the people in the house will find that Cao Cao dare not knock on the house, so in order to prevent being settled by Qiu Hou, naturally delay the speed of repairing the house as much as possible, preferably until everyone is exhausted , Naturally, I don’t have the energy to come to the autumn harvest to settle accounts, and there may even be a chance to do the opposite...

To solve this problem, Cao Cao not only needs to use the army, but also must be able to deploy a large number of grassroots personnel to the front line at any time like Fei Qian, just like Longyou Longxi, not only has the powerful Tai Shici as a force deterrent There is also the shrewd Jia Xu who is making overall plans, and at the same time a large number of grassroots officials are required to sink to the localities. As for these three points, Cao Cao can only do half of them at most.

   Therefore, Fei Qian judged that Cao Cao is actually at a disadvantage despite the fact that Cao Cao is killing happily now.

  After smashing houses, most of them have no place to live, but ordinary people...

   Then there will inevitably be people who make trouble through public grievances.

  First, some people used the name of Cao Cao's celebration to take away people's wealth wantonly.

   Then such behavior will inevitably cause turmoil among the people.

  Cao Cao will definitely notice this matter and deal with it immediately.

  In the process of processing, the problems of the officials will lead to the difficulties of the people's livelihood in the future, and in turn, all the crimes will be held on the head of Cao Cao...

You know, although there are only four words for "Yang Feng Yin Yin", there are many ways to do it. "No action" is just one of the simplest ones, and there are more other, more ingenious methods, which can make the original Cao Cao Many commands are completely ineffective and completely useless.

  These methods, this kind of officials, didn’t they appear in the same way when Fei was lurking in Longyou and Longxi before?

  From this point of view, maybe Cao Cao did what he did now because he was influenced by Fei Qian's handling of officials in Longyou and Longxi to rectify the administration of officials?

  『Cao Mengde, if you really have a three-point chance of winning, you dare to bet on it...』 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 is betting, and the Shandong gentry is also betting.

   Those who bet are out of 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 when all the cards on the table have been played. And the ones sitting at the poker table now are actually staring out of the poker table.

  People in the courtyard fought back and forth with each other, but their eyes were staring at the outside of the courtyard.

  Fei Qian is standing "outside the courtyard" now. It is of course impossible to let Fei Qian leave, but you can throw some "swords, guns and sticks" into the yard...

  『So, what should we give Prime Minister Cao? ”Pang Tong also thought about it, and then asked, “Weapon? Or money? 』

"neither. 』

   Fei Qian smiled gently, "For Cao Mengde, it must be a good thing..."

  Fei Qian feels that this is like an evolution.

  China's own evolution.

  This evolution may not have earth-shattering sound effects, but it has deep meaning.

  In the history of mankind, some Homo sapiens and Homo sapiens have merged with each other, while others have mutually exterminated each other. Just like when Darwin's theory of evolution first started, many people did not believe that they were monkeys. Humans are indeed not monkeys, but they are actually relatives with monkeys. The genes of humans and chimpanzees can even be approximately the same in simple mathematics.

  So, when facing the Shandong monkeys, is Fei Qian qualified to ridicule from above?

   After all, they all came out of the same monkey nest, and Fei Qian just took half a step forward. Then Cao Cao watched and tried to follow.

   In a sense, Fei Qian, the first monkey, wanted to give some sweetness to the other monkeys who followed.

   It's just that Fei Qian and Cao Cao have different ideas.

  For Cao Cao, perhaps as long as the goal can be achieved, tens of thousands of casualties, even Chino Chili is acceptable.

   But for Fei Qian, those people are the first.

   Therefore, what Fei Qian wants to give to Cao Cao and Shandong must be something that promotes the evolution of these "monkeys".

   Or called a catalyst.

  The autumn wind is getting colder and whizzing by.

  The yellow leaves of the treetops outside the window were carried by the autumn wind, and then fell to the ground.

  『Send gunpowder. Fei Qian said slowly, "Have someone send some gunpowder over there." Don’t need too much, enough for two or three times…”

  Pang Tong was slightly taken aback, then clapped his hands and smiled, "That's right! You still need a sharp knife to pry the turtle shell apart...but...』

  For the manor Wubao in Shandong, it is the armor of Shandong. As long as you peel off this layer of armor, you will find whether it is a person or a monkey inside.

   But giving gunpowder is risky, and this is what Fei Qian was hesitant about before.

  Pang Tong also looked at Fei Qian with some hesitation at the moment, as if he didn't know what he should say.

  『Are you worried that Cao Mengde will attack Guanzhong with all the gunpowder? ’ Fei Qian asked.

  Pang Tong nodded.

   Never doubt the ability of Chinese people to copycats.

  Chinese people can rub nuclear bombs with their hands, believe it or not?

  So it was really forced to that point. Although Cao Cao couldn’t make a nuclear bomb, it’s not completely impossible to make black powder. After all, the matter of black powder is actually recorded in Dahan’s current Taoist alchemy...

   Fei Qian said with a smile: "This is the title for Cao Mengde... I also want to know, is Cao Mengde the current Prime Minister Cao, or...hehe..."

  Fei Qian is no longer the same Fei Qian as before. In the process of this rise, some of Fei Qian have changed, and some of them have not changed. So what about Cao Cao? How much has Cao Cao changed?

  Everything is actually one choice after another.

  So, this time, how will Cao Cao choose?

  …(｀)Ψ…

   Choices are everywhere.

  Lu Hong has come to the government office in Yecheng for the third time.

  Cao Cao's political center, in theory, should be in Xu County, but now it is slowly moving to Yecheng. That is to say, just like when Emperor Guangwu changed from a big family in Nanyang to a son-in-law in Jizhou, I don't know if it is a step forward or a step back?

   This was Yuan Shao's former residence, with carved beams and painted buildings, very gorgeous, but behind the gorgeousness, it was cold.

  After receiving the inspection, Lu Hong walked into the side door, full of anger.

  His investigation in Jizhou was stopped again.

  Because of his people, there was a conflict with Xia Houyuan.

  If this conflict was beaten, Lu Hong would not be so angry. After all, Xia Houyuan had a bad temper, and Lu Hong was prepared, but he didn't expect his people to be killed by Xia Houyuan directly!

  Of course, Xia Houyuan is plausible, saying that Lu Hong's subordinates spy on the military situation, and killing them is for nothing! They even wanted to hold Lu Hong accountable in turn!

Before Xia Houyuan, he suffered repeatedly under the hussars, but it did not mean that Xia Houyuan was completely incompetent. Later, in the battle in Youbei, Xia Houyuan also showed the bravery and skill of a big Han cavalry general. gained a little fame.

  Where there is the core of the Cao family, there must be troops stationed by the Cao family or the Xiahou family.

   Here in Yecheng, it is naturally Xiahouyuan's place.

  Cao Cao went to Xu County, and the main defense here in Yecheng is naturally controlled by Xia Houyuan.

  The behavior of Lu Hong's subordinates, to a certain extent, was indeed spying on the barracks.

   As for the reason for spying on the barracks, Xia Houyuan felt that he didn't need to listen to any explanation.

  『Damn General Baidi…』

  Lu Hong kept cursing in his stomach, and then followed the small officials in the government office to the front of the hall.

  Chen Qun is in the hall, and next to Chen Qun is Xia Houyuan.

  『…』

  Lu Hong's eyes intersected with Xia Houyuan's.

  『Please sit down. "School Lu," Chen Qun said, "I heard what happened yesterday..."

  Lu Hong leaned forward slightly, "Chen Shijun, my subordinates are investigating the person who spread rumors..."

  Xia Houyuan's eyes widened, "Rats! Are you slandering someone? ! 』

Lu Hong ignored him, and continued to say to Chen Qun: "I received information that the person who spread rumors everywhere was a wandering Taoist in General Xiahou's barracks. My original intention was to check on this wandering Taoist... As a result, General Xiahou not only The reason was to make things difficult, and even beheaded my subordinates! This is obviously not taking the lord seriously, no...」

"fart! Xia Houyuan said angrily, "It is clearly your people who want to force their way in and disturb the army!" 』

   Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Chen Qun quickly stretched out his hand and said, "Be safe and don't be impatient! Sit down! 』

  Two people sat down separately.

  『Nowadays, the country is in turmoil and the place is unstable. When the whole body is united and the internal and external forces are united, how can we fight each other and use our emotions? If it hurts each other because of this, wouldn't it be that the loved ones are hurt and the enemies are happy? "Chen Qun's tone was gentle, but his attitude was very strict, "School Lu has the responsibility to inspect local treachery, and General Xiahou has the responsibility to guard Jing'an. Although their respective responsibilities are different, they all do their best for the emperor and the lord. , Allegiance and duty! What happened yesterday was just a misunderstanding...」

  Chen Qun settled the matter, but Lu Hong was not reconciled, after all, the person who died was his subordinate. "Mr. Chen! Now there are unidentified spies operating around Yecheng, spreading rumors and disturbing the hearts of the people! If it can't be eliminated early, the culprit behind the picketing will be disastrous! 』

  When a person dies, and then there is a misunderstanding, everything will be fine?

Xia Houyuan was originally violent, but when he heard Lu Hong's words, he was furious, got up and kicked the case away, rushed to Lu Hong with two big strides, stretched out his hand and held Lu Hong down, Pushing Lu Hong almost to the ground, he pulled out the saber from his waist and laid it across Lu Hong's neck, "Maidmaid raise him!" Do you dare to say it again? ! 』

Anyway, Xia Houyuan is also a brave warrior galloping in the battlefield. Like Lu Hong, ten of them together are not enough to fight Xia Houyuan. His face suddenly turned pale, his lips trembled greatly, but he couldn't say anything.

  Chen Qun didn't expect Xia Houyuan's movements to be so fast. He was startled at first, and then hurriedly shouted: "General Xiahou! This is the lord's personal appointment as the school official! What are u doing! Let him go! 』

  Xia Houyuan gave Chen Qun a sideways look.

  If Chen Qun asked him to release him, Xia Houyuan might not be willing to listen, but if it was "appointed by the lord", Xia Houyuan would naturally have to think about it.

  Xia Houyuan deliberately swiped the saber on Lu Hong's neck, and then let go. The blade cut the oily skin on Lu Hong's neck, and a trace of blood flowed out...

  Lu Hong felt the stabbing pain on his neck, so he howled and covered his neck, thinking that Xia Houyuan had wiped his neck, and when he saw a little blood on his hand, he almost collapsed on the ground, almost fainting.

Lu Hong is just an ordinary kid from a poor family, and martial arts, which consumes a lot of meat, is obviously not something that a poor family can afford. Therefore, Lu Hong has no experience in battle at all. His pride was blown away at such a moment It was crushed, the fear of the blade at the throat was not something he could resist with the sharpness of his tongue...

When he realized that he was not dead yet, Lu Hong subconsciously struggled to Chen Qun's side, hugged Chen Qun's calf in shock and gasped, "Please save me, please save me..." Lu Hong, who was still complacent just now Hong's face was pale now, tears were streaming down his face, and he was in extreme embarrassment.

  『General Xiahou! Threatening officials with weapons and blatantly roaring in court! Do you want to rebel? ! 』Chen Qun was also very dissatisfied with Xia Houyuan's behavior of ignoring him. It could even be said that Xia Houyuan was challenging Chen Qun's authority!

  『Heh...』Xia Houyuan put away his saber and saluted Chen Qun,『Sorry, I was impulsive at a certain moment...Ack and accept punishment! Please forgive me! 』

   Chen Qun saw Xia Houyuan like this, what else could he do?

  Of course I forgive him.

   After all, we can’t say that we are really fighting with Xia Houyuan for real, right?

   As for Lu Hong, just comfort me...

   On the second day, for some reason, this matter spread like wildfire in Ye City. Soon everyone knew that Lu Hong was scared to tears by Xia Houyuan in front of Chen Qun!

Cried!

  Even Lu Hong shed a few tears, all of which are described in incomparable detail.

  As for Xia Houyuan, he was fined by Chen Qun.

  Of course, Xia Houyuan didn’t take it as a problem at all for the mere fine, and even showed it off to his own subordinates...

  …┐(～)┌…

  With a gentle smile, Chen Qun returned salutes to his subordinates who paid tribute to him, finished his day's work, returned to his small courtyard, took off his heavy official robes, and put on a light attire.

  『People left? "Chen Qun slightly closed his eyes and asked softly.

  The servant lowered his head, "Let's go. 』

   "Well... Got it..." Chen Qun nodded.

  In the past few days, Lu Hong has jumped up and down. Not only Xia Houyuan doesn't like him, but Chen Qun also doesn't like him.

   Now that Lu Hong was humiliated face to face by Xia Houyuan, he naturally stayed shamelessly in Yecheng.

  Since Lu Hong has left, then...

  Chen Qun stood in front of the hall, silent for a long time.

  『Come here...』
