Chapter 037: Strengthening the Chen Family's Plan
Chen Gong placed Liu Bei and Chen Qun and his entourage in the Zhending City Post House, but Li Long and others disliked the post house too restrained and were willing to live in the wine shop, so Chen Qun followed everyone's wishes and directly bought the wine shop with hardware from the owner of the wine shop, let Liu Bei and everyone live in the wine shop, and hired the previous chef and Xiao Er of the wine shop to cook for everyone. There were thirteen people including Liu Bei living in the wine shop of Nuoda, and Chen Gong was directly shocked by Chen Qun's generosity.
Although Chen Qun bought the wine shop, he did not live in the wine shop, but lived in Zhao's house with Zhao Yun. For this reason, Liu Bei and Xu Shu did not stop them, they all wanted to see Chen Qun befriend Zhao Yun.
That night, Chen Qun, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt a scorching heat coming from the Emperor's Divine Order, and hurriedly took it out to see, but it was the No. 02 Emperor's Decree requesting communication. Chen Qun connected directly without thinking about it.
After connecting, Chen Qun looked at the grim face inside the divine order and said, "Dare to ask if you are Uncle Huangfu or Uncle Zhu?" ”
The grim face inside smiled when he heard this: "God is good, I am Emperor Fu Song, the envoy of Emperor No. 02." Zhu Jun is the envoy of the No. 03 Emperor's Order, and he is next to me at the moment, and there is no one else except the two of us. We are all happy to see God's true face. ”
Chen Qun smiled slightly when he heard this: "It turned out to be Uncle Huangfu!" Uncle, you can call me Changwen directly in the future, or call me nephew, don't call me any divine envoy, Uncle Zhu is the same, we are all for a common mission, there is no need to see each other like this. ”
Hearing this, Huangfu Song said with a straight face: "Okay! Then the old man is not welcome to rely on the old man and sell the old man! Virtuous nephew, General Lu Zhi, the No. 01 envoy, has an accident, I don't know if you know? ”
Chen Qun nodded: "I also just learned about this matter this afternoon, you don't have to worry about my Uncle Lu's affairs for now, and first make every effort to suppress the Yellow Turban Army rebellion on your side." When the rebellion is quelled, we will find a way to save my Uncle Lu. Now is not the time to rescue my Uncle Lu. ”
Hearing this, Huangfu Song said with a straight face: "The virtuous nephew wants to be with us!" That's good, we're still worried that the virtuous nephew will take action, it seems that we are too worried! We should not doubt the wisdom of virtuous nephews. ”
Chen Qun looked at Huangfu Song and said, "Uncle is too worried!" Uncle reminded me that I should be, after all, we didn't have direct contact before, and we didn't know each other, I was going to find an opportunity to contact you after dawn, but I didn't expect you to contact me first. By the way, uncle, how is the battle going on your side? ”
Hearing this, Huangfu Song said with a straight face: "Virtuous nephew, our side is fine!" More than ten days ago, I just experienced a great victory, and His Majesty made me the Marquis of the Duxiang. Your Uncle Zhu is expected to be sealed soon. ”
Chen Qun smiled when he heard this: "Ah, this is a good thing! It's good that it's going well over there. I also hope that the two uncles will continue to work hard to defeat the Yellow Turban Army rebellion as soon as possible and rescue my Uncle Lu. ”
"A must! Rest assured! We will definitely solve the rebellion here as soon as possible, by the way, your family is fine, you can rest assured! ”
Chen Qun nodded after listening to Huangfu Song's words and said, "Thank you two uncles for taking care of my family." By the way, uncle, how did you treat the captives and their families after defeating the city occupied by the Yellow Turbans? ”
Huangfu Song squinted his eyes when he heard this: "All the rebels are beheaded, I have discussed with your Uncle Zhu, and I will not accept any rebel soldier, so as to deter other rebels, as for their wives and children, those who can be sold as slaves will be sold cheaply, and the old and weak will be killed directly, and it is not a pity for them to die!" ”
Chen Qun frowned when he heard this: "Alas! Two uncles, I want to ask you for something. ”
When Huangfu Song heard this, he instantly remembered that Chen Qun had interceded for Taiping Dao's family when he was in Luoyang before, and immediately frowned and said, "Virtuous nephew, you must not have any sympathy!" Compassion is a must! ”
Chen Qun nodded: "Okay, uncle, that nephew begs you to sell the rebels' wives and children to the nephew, okay?" ”
Hearing this, Huangfu Song frowned and said, "What do you want them to do?" ”
Chen Qun bit his lip lightly and said, "Uncle, after all, they are our Han people and our compatriots, anyway, you are also selling them into slavery, so isn't it the same to sell them to?" I only bought them on behalf of the Yingchuan Chen family, what do you think? ”
Hearing this, Huangfu Song looked at Zhu Jun beside him, and then nodded to Chen Qun: "Okay, virtuous nephew, it's the same to sell it to anyone, but although this slave is cheap, the amount is too large, and we have to hand over this money to Your Majesty, and the two of us don't have so much money." ”
Chen Qun smiled when he heard this: "Uncle, don't worry, my nephew still has this money." What do they cost? ”
Huangfu Song said: "Regardless of men and women, they only nod their heads, and each person has fifty yuan per head." ”
"What? It's so cheap!" Chen Qun was shocked when he heard this.
Huangfu Song frowned and said, "If it weren't for Your Majesty's desire for this money, we would have killed them directly!" The descendants of these rebels should not have lived, and selling them into slavery was already cheapening them. ”
Chen Qun nodded when he heard this: "Okay, two uncles, then if you have slaves in your hands in the future, can you all help me send them to the foot of Shaomu Mountain?" My people there will take them all, and the money will be cashed out to you. ”
Hearing this, Huangfu Song frowned and said, "Shaomu Mountain? All right! Then let the brothers escort the slaves and give the money to His Majesty by the way. ”
Chen Qun nodded: "Uncle, I hope you can treat them a little better, after all, their members are mixed, don't let them go hungry, I thank you on behalf of the ancestors of the Han people." If you are short of money, your nephew can give you more every time, and you just need to report the number. ”
Hearing this, Huangfu Song sighed: "Okay, nephew, I know, we won't starve them to death, we will try our best to send them to the people who will be handed over to you at the foot of Shaomu Mountain." ”
"Thank you, uncles! That's nothing else, let's do it first. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Chen Qun said.
Huangfu Song nodded: "Okay, hang up." ”
After hanging up, Huangfu Song frowned and said to Zhu Jun beside him: "He is still too kind-hearted nephew, but who is this slave not sold?" If he wants him, he will send it to him. ”
Zhu Jun thought for a while and said: "It must be sent, but it can't be sent all, sell those who are not in good physical condition to the local big families nearby, and send all the good physical fitness to the virtuous nephew, which can not only ensure the manpower needs of the virtuous nephew, but also help the virtuous nephew reduce the financial pressure, and we can also escort it." ”
Huangfu Song nodded when he heard this: "You're right, just do it." From then on, we will try not to kill those who can not be killed, and send more strong and healthy slaves to the virtuous nephew, no matter what he does with these people, it will be beneficial to the Han Dynasty. ”
Zhu Jun nodded: "Yes!" What the virtuous nephew said is actually right, after all, we are all Han Chinese. ”
Chen Qun didn't know the final decision of Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi, he only knew that he had to go back to Shaomu Mountain City as soon as possible and settle that side, otherwise it would be chaotic over there, and Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun would not be able to explain to Emperor Ling. Chen Qun made a decision in his heart and fell asleep.
Early in the morning of the second day, Chen Qun came to the wine shop with Zhao Yun after practicing martial arts, and then came to the military camp of Baima Yicong with Liu Bei and others, where the prisoners were held yesterday. The captives had already gathered on the school field at this time, and they didn't dare to breathe after seeing Zhao Yun and his party, they didn't know what fate they and the others would face.
Soon, after Chen Gong arrived, he first lectured these prisoners, and after listening to Chen Gong's lecture, the prisoners expressed their willingness to accept the incorporation of the Zhending City Government. The next part of the compilation was much simpler, first Zhao Yun rearranged all the captives and the white horse righteous soldiers, and then divided them into five songs, each with 500 people. Then Zhang Fei chose his independent song first, Guan Yu picked two more songs, and finally the remaining two songs belonged to Zhao Yun.
After the division of the people, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei began to train their respective people, and Zhao Cheng and other nine people also joined them one after another, serving as lieutenants respectively. Everything was in place in no time.
Chen Qun came to Chen Gong's side after everything was ready: "Brother Chen, junior brother has to go back to Luoyang if he has something." ”
Xu Shu on the side looked at Chen Qun with his eyebrows when he heard this: "Changwen, didn't we discuss whether to go back to Luoyang first?" ”
Chen Qun nodded; "I didn't go back to Luoyang this time to deal with Uncle Lu's affairs, but to be busy with my personal affairs, and there are some things I have to deal with in person over there in Shaomu Mountain City."
Xu Shu smiled when he heard this: "I see, then I have nothing to say." ”
Chen Gong frowned and said, "Changwen, although I don't understand what you two are saying, if you want to go back to Luoyang, you will definitely not be able to do it alone." But here they have to train soldiers, how should this be? ”
Xu Shu smiled when he heard this: "Hehe, it's okay!" I personally accompanied Changwen to go through it. ”
When Chen Qun heard this, he touched the bridge of his nose with his right hand: "I want to take my master over to have a look, otherwise I don't have to tell you, I will leave directly." ”
Chen Gong frowned when he heard this: "How long will you have to do this?" ”
Chen Qun thought for a while: "It shouldn't take too long, I think I should be able to return at the end of the month, maybe it doesn't matter if it's late." ”
Xu Shu smiled when he heard this: "Chen County Order, I think it's okay." General Zhao's soldiers and horses can let Zhao Cheng and the three of them help train. General Zhao and I accompanied Changwen to Luoyang. Chen County's order can rest assured, I will persuade Changwen to return as soon as possible. ”
Chen Gong said anxiously when he heard this: "I didn't mean that, I mean to say that if there is a chance to fight the Yellow Turban Army during this period, will we fight or not?" ”
Chen Qun looked at Chen Gong and smiled slightly: "Chen County Order, you can actually decide this, but I think we should train soldiers for two months first." ”
The reason why Chen Qun said this was because he remembered that it was Dong Zhuo who replaced Lu Zhi in history, and Dong Zhuo failed to defeat Zhang Jiao, but suffered a big loss at the hands of Zhang Jiao. Emperor Ling ordered Huangfu Song to go north to deal with Zhang Jiao. Dong Zhuo returned to Luoyang after staying in Jizhou for two months, so Chen Qun suggested that Chen Gong train soldiers for two months.
Chen Gong smiled when he heard this: "You! I don't know what you think! However, what you said also makes sense, the Yellow Turban Army will not be able to defeat in a short period of time, and we will only ensure victory after we have trained our men before going into battle! Okay, since that's the case, then you guys can go, there will be no problems with me and Liu Xuande. ”
Then, Chen Qun informed Zhao Yun and Liu Bei and others of his plan, Zhao Yun said that there was no problem at the moment, but Liu Bei and the others also wanted to follow Chen Qun back to Luoyang, and finally Xu Shu persuaded him to stay.
Chen Qun said goodbye to everyone with Xu Shu and Zhao Yun, and after Zhao Yun went home to inform his mother, the three of them left Zhending City on fast horses and went to Luoyang.
