"These guys," Fei Qian gently knocked on the table, "I'm watching a joke..."
These guys Fei Qian mentioned are from Shandong and mainly belong to the category of children of the Jizhou gentry.
As Cao Cao launched a clearance in Yingchuan, some officials who were lip service were arrested, questioned and punished, but then a greater wave of resistance was triggered, and for a moment, there was a state of vague smoke.
"Lord..." Pang Tong was on the side, and a little inquired out of his voice.
Fei Qian stood up and looked on the Shandong map for a long time, "Cao Mengde... is waiting for my news?"
"News?" Pang Tong frowned.
Fei Qian nodded, and then said, "Maybe, these Shandong gentry are waiting for my news..."
Pang Tong's eyebrows and eyes twitched slightly, and then he realized, "My lord is saying that Shandong is like this now, but in fact... it's not like it's incompatible with water and fire?"
Fei Qian laughed, "Unless it is really a life-and-death life, there will be three points of room for action...Foreign enemies..." Fei Qian pointed at 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 fire, on the one hand, not all of these people on the outside were 007 and had no ability to go to the devil's cave alone. On the other hand, because the Han Dynasty's current information transmission speed is slow and the various places are relatively closed. Even if there is turmoil in one area, it may not be able to spread to other areas immediately.
So overall, there are actions at present, but the effect is average.
Pang Tong nodded, laughed twice and said, "So, lord wants to take a look again? But in this way, both of them will be kept..."
This is the most normal choice, and it also seems that it should be the choice to maximize profits.
When Shandong fights in his own nest and fights each other all over the body, Fei Qian, the "foreign enemy", can easily gain the benefits of the fisherman. It is precisely because of this that both parties in Shandong who are in love and kill each other will subconsciously keep their hands.
Fei was silent for a while, shook his head gently and said, "I'm going to help Cao Mengde."
Pang Tong frowned slightly, and after a while, he said in a deep voice, "The lord believes... this Cao Mengde... may lose?"
Fei Qian nodded.
Cao Cao, if he follows the current situation, he may indeed lose.
It’s just that it’s possible to lose, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it. After all, Cao Cao has the experience of turning defeat into victory many times, so he can’t say that he still has some tricks hidden...
Cao Cao only has military power, and among the military power, only the Qingzhou soldiers can be regarded as the power that Cao Cao truly possesses, and it is also a force that is completely incompatible with the children of the gentry. However, this power is a double-edged sword, which Cao Cao cannot completely control, and even Cao Cao's successor cannot control it.
As for the general's private soldiers, these things are more beneficial than disadvantages for Cao Cao at this stage, but as time goes by, the disadvantages will become greater and greater. Until the day when Cao Cao cannot control it, or when the first generation of commanders grow old, these inherited private soldiers structures will become the cancer of the Cao regime.
After all, the situation Sun Erlangzi faced was the future that Cao Pi might have to face.
It is impossible for Cao Cao to see this.
In addition, Cao Cao did not make good preparations for personnel and affairs.
In Fei Qian's memory, Cao Cao issued the order to recruit talents, and it was promulgated many times. At present, Fei Qian encouraged Emperor Han Liu Xie to release the order first. In addition, Guanzhong's attraction to poor children, so that the poor children absorbed by Cao Cao did not become very popular...
Killing is not difficult, but the problem is who to change it.
If we change the "Sun Ce" type, we will knock and smash it up and destroy the original structure of the house and rebuild it on site, of course, it is also a coping strategy. However, the result is that during the reconstruction period, no one has a place to live.
To be sure, it is to change to a middle school, neither Cao Cao nor Shandong, such as Jizhou school, or even Qingxu school, and then fill in the holes in the house first, and wait until everyone lives there before settles the accounts after autumn.
Historically, Cao Cao used people from Jizhou to compete, but it is obvious that at this stage, the power of people from Jizhou was dispersed, and it can even be said to be relatively weak, and he could not compete with Yingchuan, which had become a powerful person.
So Cao Cao is very likely to choose another direction...
It also takes time to replace people.
The problem that follows is that people in the house will find that Cao Cao dare not knock on the house. In order to prevent the settlement of the house after the autumn, they will naturally delay the speed of repairing the house as much as possible. It is best to drag it until everyone is exhausted, so they will naturally have no energy to settle the autumn harvest, and they may even have the chance to reverse...
To solve this problem, Cao Cao not only needs to use the army, but also needs to be like Fei Qian, who can draw a large number of grassroots personnel to the front line at any time. Just like Longyou, Longxi, not only has the strong Taishi Ci as a deterrent force, but also the shrewd Jia Xu in overall planning, and at the same time, a large number of grassroots officials have to sink to the local area. Cao Cao can only do half of these three points now.
Therefore, Fei Qian judged that although Cao Cao was killing happily now, Cao Cao was actually at a disadvantage.
After smashing the house, most of the people who had no place to live were ordinary people...
Then someone will inevitably make trouble through public grievances.
First, someone used the name of Cao Cao's celebration to plunder the people's wealth.
Then such behavior will inevitably cause turmoil among the people.
Cao Cao would definitely notice this matter and deal with it immediately.
During the process of handling, there will be problems with officials, which will lead to subsequent difficulties in people's livelihood, and then all the blame will be placed on Cao Cao...
You should know that although "hypocritical disobedience" is only four words, the methods can be made more and more diverse. "Inaction" is just the simplest one, and there are more and more clever methods that can make many of Cao Cao's original orders go in the opposite direction and completely lose their effectiveness.
Didn’t such officials appear in the same way before when Fei Qian was in Longyou and Longxi?
From this perspective, perhaps Cao Cao did this now because he was influenced by Fei Qian's previous handling of officials rectifying the administration of officials in Longyou and Longxi?
"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 temperament back then, and there seems to be no change now.
Cao Cao was gambling, and the Shandong gentry were also gambling.
The bet is outside the market.
『Prime Minister Cao…』 Fei Qian said slowly, 『I am waiting for me to place a bet…』
Sometimes, only when the people at the table play all the cards can the result of the game be determined. Now those sitting at the table are actually staring outside the table.
The people in the yard fought each other back and forth, but their eyes were staring outside the yard.
Fei Qian is standing "outside the courtyard". Of course it is impossible to let Fei Qian leave, but you can throw some "swords, guns, sticks" into the courtyard...
"So, what should we give to Prime Minister Cao?" Pang Tong also thought about it and asked, "Weapons? Or money and food?"
"None are not."
Fei Qian smiled gently, "But for Cao Mengde, it must be a good thing..."
Fei Qian felt that this was like an evolution.
China's own evolution.
This evolution may not have earth-shaking sound effects, but it has profound meaning.
In human history, some Homo sapiens and Homo sapiens were integrated with each other, while others were extinct. Just like when Darwin's theory of evolution first began, many people did not believe that they were monkeys. Humans are indeed not monkeys, but they are actually relatives. The genes of humans and chimpanzees can even be roughly the same in simple mathematics.
So, when facing Shandong monkeys, is Fei Qian qualified to ridicule him?
After all, they all came out of the same monkey nest, so Fei Qian only took half a step forward. Then Cao Cao looked at it and tried to follow.
In a sense, Fei Qian, the monkey who was ahead, wanted to give some sweetness to the other monkeys who followed.
However, Fei Qian and Cao Cao have different ideas.
For Cao Cao, perhaps as long as he can achieve his goal, he will suffer millions of casualties, and even Chiye Qianli can accept it.
But for Fei Qian, those people are the first priority.
Therefore, what Fei Qian wants to give to Cao Cao and Shandong must be something that promotes the evolution of these "monkeys".
Or a catalyst.
The autumn wind is getting colder and whistles by.
The yellow leaves on the treetops outside the window were swept by the autumn wind and then fell to the ground dejectedly.
"Send gunpowder." Fei Qian said slowly, "Let me send some gunpowder. Don't need too much, just enough to take two or three times..."
Pang Tong was slightly stunned, then he stroked his palm and smiled, "That's right! The turtle shell still needs a sharp blade to pry it open...but...
For those manors and forts in Shandong, they are Shandong armor. 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, and this is something that Fei Qian hesitated before.
Pang Tong also looked at Fei Qian with a little hesitation, as if he didn't know what he should say.
"Are you worried that Cao Mengde would attack Guanzhong if he had these gunpowder?" Fei Qian asked.
Pang Tong nodded.
Never doubt the Chinese's ability to copy the village.
Can Chinese people rub nuclear bombs with their hands believe it?
So it was really forced to that extent. Although Cao Cao could not rub a nuclear bomb, it was not completely impossible to rub a black gunpowder. After all, the black gunpowder was actually recorded in the Taoist alchemy techniques of the Han Dynasty...
Fei Qian smiled and said, "This is the topic for Cao Mengde... I also want to know whether Cao Mengde is Prime Minister Cao or...haha..."
Fei Qian is no longer the Fei Qian of the past. In this process of rising, Fei Qian has changed some, and some 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…
Choice is everywhere.
Lu Hong has already arrived in the government office in Yecheng for the third time.
In theory, Cao Cao's political center should be in Xu County, but now it is slowly moving to Yecheng. In other words, just like Emperor Guangwu transformed from a wealthy family in Nanyang to a son-in-law in Jizhou, I wonder if it was a step further or a step back?
This was once the capital of Yuan Shao. The carved beams and painted buildings were very gorgeous, but behind these gorgeousness, it was cold.
After Lu Hong received the inspection, he walked into the side door, full of anger.
His investigation in Jizhou was stopped again.
Because of his people, they had a conflict with Xiahou Yuan.
If this conflict was beaten, Lu Hong would not be so angry. After all, Xiahou Yuan had a bad temper, and Lu Hong was mentally prepared, but he didn't expect that his person would be killed directly by Xiahou Yuan!
Of course, Xiahou Yuan was also making a statement, saying that Lu Hong's subordinates were spying on military information, and killing him would be useless! He even wanted to hold Lu Hong accountable!
Before Xiahou Yuan was defeated by the cavalry, but it did not mean that Xiahou Yuan was completely incompetent. Later, in the battle in Youbei, Xiahou Yuan also showed the courage and skills of a Han cavalry general, which was more or less a little back to his fame.
Where there is the core of the Cao family, there will definitely be the garrison of the Cao family or the Xiahou family.
In Yecheng, it is naturally the place of Xiahou Yuan.
Cao Cao went to Xu County, and the main defense here in Yecheng was naturally Xiahou Yuan who was controlling it.
And to some extent, Lu Hong's behavior is indeed a spy on the military camp.
As for why he was peeking into the military camp, Xiahou Yuan felt that he had no need to listen to any explanation.
"Damn General Baidi..."
Lu Hong kept cursing in his stomach, and then followed the officials from the government office to the front of the hall.
Chen Qun was in the hall, and on Chen Qun's side was Xiahou Yuan.
『…』
Lu Hong's eyes were intertwined with Xiahou Yuan.
『Please sit down. School officials," Chen Qun said, 『I heard about yesterday...』
Lu Hong leaned forward slightly, "Eunuch Chen, under his command, is investigating the person who spread rumors and causes trouble..."
Xiahou Yuan glared at his eyes, "Rat! Are you slandering me?"
Lu Hong ignored him and continued to say to Chen Qun: "I was informed and spread rumors everywhere was Taoist You Fang in General Xiahou's military camp. I originally intended to check this Taoist You Fang... As a result, General Xiahou not only made things difficult for various reasons, but even killed my subordinates! This clearly did not take the lord seriously, no...
『Fart!』 Xiahou Yuan said angrily, 『It is your people who are going to forcefully break in and disrupt the army!』
Seeing that the two of them were about to start arguing, Chen Qun quickly reached out and said, "Don't be impatient! Sit down!"
The two people sat down separately.
"Now the country is turbulent and the local area is unstable. When the top and the bottom are united and the inside and outside work together, how can we fight each other and act in anger? If we are hurt by each other, wouldn't the relatives be hurt and the enemy be happy?" Chen Qun's tone was gentle, but his attitude was very strict. "Lu School Affairs has the responsibility of inspecting local traitors, and General Xiahou has the responsibility of garrisoning and defense in Jing'an. Although their respective responsibilities are different, they all do their best for the emperor, for the lord, and for the loyalty and responsibility! Yesterday's incident was a misunderstanding...
Chen Qun decided on this matter, but Lu Hong was unwilling to accept it. After all, the person who died was his subordinate. "Envoy Chen! Now there are unknown spies operating near Yecheng, spreading rumors and disrupting the people's hearts! If he cannot be eliminated early and the culprit behind the scenes, the consequences may be unimaginable!"
When a person dies, then a light misunderstanding will be fine?
Xiahou Yuan was originally angry. When he heard Lu Hong's words, he was furious and stood up and kicked the case open. He rushed to Lu Hong with two big steps. He reached out and pressed Lu Hong down, pressed Lu Hong almost all of him to the ground, and then pulled out the sword at his waist and crossed it to Lu Hong's neck. "Maid keeps you! Say it again?"
No matter what, Xiahou Yuan was also a brave warrior galloping on the battlefield. Ten of them like Lu Hong were not enough for Xiahou Yuan to fight. They were suddenly put on the vital point by Xiahou Yuan's sword. Lu Hong's face suddenly turned pale, his lips trembled greatly, but he couldn't say anything.
Chen Qun didn't expect Xiahou Yuan's movements to be so fast. He was shocked at first, and then hurriedly shouted: "General Xiahou! This is the lord's personal order to be a school clerk! What are you doing? Let him go quickly!"
Xiahou Yuan glanced at Chen Qun.
If Chen Qun asked him to release him, Xiahou Yuan might not be willing to listen, but if it was said that it was "appointed by the lord", Xiahou Yuan naturally had to consider it.
Xiahou Yuan deliberately gestured the sword on Lu Hong's neck, and then let go of his hand. The blade cut 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 he had been wiped by Xiahou Yuan. When he saw a little blood on his hand, he almost collapsed on the ground and almost fainted.
Lu Hong is just an ordinary poor family, and the martial arts program that costs a lot of meat to practice is obviously not something that poor people can afford. Therefore, Lu Hong has no experience in joining the battle. His pride was defeated in such an instant. The fear of the blade pressing on his throat was not something that his words could resist...
When he realized that he was not dead yet, Lu Hong subconsciously struggled to Chen Qun's side, hugged Chen Qun's calves in a daze, gasped and said, "Save me, I will save me..." Lu Hong, who was still proud just now, now his face was pale, tears flowed, and he was extremely embarrassed.
"General Xiahou! He threatened the officials with weapons and roared openly in court! Do you want to rebel?!" Chen Qun was also very dissatisfied with Xiahou Yuan's behavior that he took seriously. It can even be said that Xiahou Yuan was challenging Chen Qun's authority!
『Haha…』 Xiahou Yuan took the sword and saluted Chen Qun, "Sorry, I was impulsive at some point... I admit the blow and punish! Please forgive me!"
What else can Chen Qun do when he sees Xiahou Yuan like this?
Of course I forgive him.
After all, it can't be said that Xiahou Yuan is really just a real fight?
As for Lu Hong, just comfort me...
The next day, for some reason, this incident spread like wildfire in Yecheng. Soon everyone knew that Lu Hong was scared to tears by Xiahou Yuan in front of Chen Qun!
Crying!
Even Lu Hong shed a few tears, which were depicted in great detail.
As for Xiahou Yuan, he was fined by Chen Qun.
Of course, Xiahou Yuan did not regard it as a matter of a mere fine, and even showed it to his own subordinates...
…┐(~)┌…
With a gentle smile, Chen Qun returned the gift to his subordinates who paid tribute to him. After finishing his day's work, he returned to his yard, took off his heavy official robe and put on a light outfit.
"The person is gone?" Chen Qun closed his eyes slightly and asked softly.
The servant lowered his head and said, "Let's go."
"Well... I understand..." Chen Qun nodded.
These days, Lu Hong has been jumping up and down. Not only Xiahou Yuan doesn’t like him, but Chen Qun doesn’t like him too.
Now that Lu Hong was humiliated in front of Xiahou Yuan, he naturally stayed in Yecheng without any face.
Since Lu Hong has left, then...
Chen Qun stood in front of the hall and was silent for a long time.
Chapter completed!
