On the third day of Chen Qun's filial piety to his grandfather, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came to pay tribute to Chen Yu, and Chen Qun personally received the three righteous brothers.

After paying tribute to Chen Yu, Liu Bei's three brothers and Chen Qun came to Chen Qun's room together, Chen Qun invited the three righteous brothers to sit down and smiled: "Three brothers, you have worked hard all the way, since you have come, you will stay for a few more days, and the Chen Ji Restaurant in the city has also been relaxed in the past two days, so the three brothers might as well stay and accompany the younger brother more." ”

Liu Bei smiled when he heard this: "Fourth brother, it's not that my brother doesn't want to accompany you, but my brother's top pressure on my brother is very high, and he is looking for his brother's stubble everywhere, and my brother has to deal with it carefully." ”

Chen Qun glared when he heard this: "There is such a thing? Brother, please rest assured, I will find a relationship to transfer that person and let my brother take his place. ”

Liu Bei smiled when he heard this: "Changwen, it's good if you have this heart, but my brother doesn't want to do that, my brother wants to climb up step by step with his own ability." ”

Chen Qun looked at Liu Bei with a serious expression and nodded: "Okay, big brother, since you insist on doing so, then the younger brother will not interfere, but the younger brother is worried that the elder brother is thinking about the court, and the court may not reuse the elder brother." ”

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this: "This brother also knows that it is useless to say anything now, you can only do your best." Fourth brother, you have a good rest at home this year, fortunately, your restaurant business is on the right track now, you don't need to work too hard, it is enough to have Brother Xu Shu to help you take care of it. ”

Chen Qun nodded: "Yes, big brother, if you need money, just say it, little brother is not short of money now." ”

Liu Bei smiled slightly when he heard this: "Okay, then lend the eldest brother 500 gold first, the eldest brother is very short of money." ”

Chen Qun nodded when he heard this, then directly got up and moved the cash box in the room to the table, and after opening the cash box, he took out the two thousand gold inside and handed it to Liu Bei: "Big brother, the little brother has these two thousand gold by his side now, you take all of them and use them, don't say borrow it, the little brother will give it to the eldest brother." ”

"How embarrassing! This is unacceptable! Liu Bei hurriedly excused himself.

Chen Qun directly put the gold into a pocket and then stuffed it into Liu Bei's arms: "Big brother, you can take it." ”

Seeing this, Liu Bei no longer refused, but accepted the gold handed over by Chen Qun and smiled: "Okay, then the eldest brother won't be polite to you." Fourth brother, if there is nothing else to do, we will leave first. ”

Chen Qun nodded: "Okay, the three elder brothers should be more careful on the way back." ”

Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei then got up to say goodbye to Chen Qun.

The reason why Liu Bei is reluctant to be a high-ranking official is because he also saw that the Han Dynasty was coming to an end, Liu Bei planned to make a small county order At the same time, he used gold to buy a group of capable brothers to follow him, if the official position was too high, it would be difficult to operate, and the county order was more down-to-earth, so Liu Bei rejected Chen Qun's kindness.

Soon after Liu Bei left, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song contacted Chen Qun and informed them that they had successfully persuaded Zhang Liao and Zhang He to accept the mission of the emperor's order. After receiving the news, Chen Qun excitedly contacted everyone to inquire about the battle situation on the front line.

Xu Shu frowned and said: "Changwen, the battle on the front line is not optimistic, the total number of people on our side is less than 50,000, and on the opposite side, in addition to the 130,000 horses under the command of Zhang Chun and the others, there are 50,000 Hu cavalry to help in the battle. ”

Hearing this, Chen Qun frowned and said, "Uncle Zhu, Uncle Huangfu, why don't you recruit more people?" What we lack now is not money. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Jun said in a deep voice: "Changwen, it's not that we don't recruit, but that no one wants to join the imperial army, but the manpower of the rebels is increasing. ”

"No, it won't! The situation is so grim now! Then transfer 100,000 people from the mountain city! In any case, we will also destroy Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun. Chen Qun said in astonishment.

Xu Shu shook his head: "It's not okay to be long, first, the battle between the two sides has just begun, although we are in a disadvantageous situation, but there is no danger of failure." Second, once 100,000 people are transferred from the mountain city, then these 100,000 people must be dispatched by the imperial court in the future, it is not worth it, or wait and see, I will transfer manpower when necessary. ”

Chen Qun thought for a while and nodded, "It's okay!" As long as Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju can be eliminated, the 100,000 people will be gone, and even if the 100,000 people are returned to the imperial court, it is not something that the imperial court can command, and in the end, we still have to have the final say, and it is not so easy for the imperial court to swallow our 100,000 people for nothing. ”

Xu Shu smiled slightly: "What you said in Changwen is also reasonable, but as long as we limit the scope of Erzhang's activities, their power will become weaker and weaker, and it is only a matter of time before they are eliminated, so you don't have to worry too much about this." ”

Chen Qun nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay! Then I will work hard for my brother and all the brothers to limit the development of Erzhang, constantly compress their living space, and prevent their power from spreading again, and when I end my filial piety to my grandfather, I will personally lead the troops to destroy them. ”

"Don't worry, Changwen!" Everyone nodded one after another, and then Chen Qun hung up with everyone.

In the following year, Xu Shu and others went all out to deal with Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun in Jizhou, because the gap in strength was too large, and there were 50,000 powerful Qianghu cavalry to help the battle, although Xu Shu and others achieved many small victories, but they failed to eliminate Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju.

After the New Year in the fifth year of Zhongping, Zhang Ning on Shaomu Mountain said goodbye to Cai Yan and Li Bing'er and returned to Luoyang, because Liao Hua ordered someone to summon Zhang Ning to say that there was something important to discuss.

Zhang Ning returned to Luoyang City to see Liao Hua, Liao Hua and Zhou Cang invited Zhang Ying into the house and closed the door and said: "Miss, my subordinates have contacted Guo Tai, the person in charge of the Taiping Dao believers in Shangzhou, Guo Tai said that he has 200,000 brothers to follow, and his subordinates want to ask Miss for any instructions?" ”

Zhang Ning turned to look at Liao Hua in astonishment when he heard this: "Brother Liao, you said that there are still 200,000 of our brothers under Guo Tai in Bingzhou?" Is this true? ”

"It's true!" Liao Hua hugged Zhang Ning with certainty.

When Zhang Ning heard this, she instantly wanted to order these 200,000 people to go to Shaomu Mountain to help Chen Qun, but she quickly realized that if she made such a decision, Zhou Cang and Liao Hua would definitely be angry.

Zhang Ning thought for a while and looked at Liao Hua and said, "Two big brothers, how about you say that we will directly lead them to revolt?" After all, that's 200,000 men, and if the uprising succeeds, we won't have to look at other people's eyes anymore. I feel more and more that the power is still in my own hands. ”

Liao Hua nodded when he heard this: "Yes, Guo Tai's ability is still very strong, I believe that he can lead his brothers to open up the situation in Bingzhou." ”

Zhang Ning nodded when he heard this: "Okay, then order Guo Tai and the others to quickly prepare for the uprising and revolt as soon as possible, I will wait for their good news." ”

"Subordinates take orders!" Liao Hua and Zhou Cang hugged their fists and saluted Zhang Ning in unison.

Zhang Ning thought that Chen Qun was now guarding filial piety in Yingchuan, and even if he came back, it would be the end of the year, so it was better to go to Bingzhou himself to guide the uprising, which would be conducive to his own control of the army.

Zhang Ning thought clearly and said in a deep voice: "Two big brothers, I want to personally participate in the incident in the state, what do you think?" Questions? ”

Liao Hua thought for a while and frowned: "If Miss takes us directly to Bingzhou to participate in the uprising, it will definitely increase the confidence of the brothers in the uprising, and the possibility of success in the uprising will be greatly increased, and we still have 200,000 people, and Miss's safety will not be a problem, I think it's okay." ”

Zhou Cang thought about it and nodded: "I also think it's feasible." ”

Zhang Ning then said: "Okay, the two eldest brothers will hurry down to prepare, and when we are ready, we will immediately go to Bingzhou to organize the brothers there to make an uprising, and we must ensure that the uprising is a one-time success." ”

Liao Hua preemptively said before Zhou Cang received the order: "But Miss, when the lord died, he asked you to marry Chen Qun, if you go to Bingzhou with us, if you let Chen Qun know, I am afraid that he will dislike it." ”

Zhang Ning thought for a while and shook his head: "It's okay, there are already two smart and beautiful women around Chen Qun, I don't have a chance anyway, it's better to go to Bingzhou and give it a go." ”

"Good! Subordinates obey! Zhou Cang and Liao Hua heard this, and after clasping their fists at Zhang Ning, they turned around and left.

In February of the fifth year of Zhonghe, the believers of Taiping Dao in Bingzhou launched an uprising again under the leadership of Zhang Jiao's daughter Zhang Ning, the rebel army was led by Guo Tai on the surface, and the number of rebels soon expanded to 230,000 people, and the rebels attacked the city and plundered the land under the leadership of Liao Hua and Zhou Cang, Guo Tai and others, and soon occupied the territory of the three counties, Taiyuan County and Hedong County fell successively, and the court was shocked.

In March, Emperor Ling accepted the suggestion of Taichang Liu Yan to change the assassin history of some states to the state pastor, so that the state pastor had local military and political power, so as to strengthen the local military strength, so as to quell the rebellion of the states and counties.

After Chen Qun got the news of the assassination of Shi Gaizhou, he was instantly shocked, and he muttered in his heart: "It's still coming!" ”

As a traverser, although Chen Qun does not know much about the historical process before the state pastoral system, Chen Qun is very clear about the historical process after the state pastoral system, and it can be said that the state pastoral system really promoted the opening of the troubled times.

Chen Qun, who got the news, stood in the room and closed his eyes and pondered what he should do, but thinking that he still had to keep filial piety until the end of the year before he could take action, Chen Qun had to smile bitterly: "Forget it, I can't have all the upper hand." ”

As Chen Qun's surprise, Liu Yan became the pastor of Yizhou, Ding Yuan became the pastor of the state, Han Fu was the pastor of Jizhou, and Liu Yu became the pastor of Youzhou, and after the state pastor of each state arrived, he did not immediately quell the rebellion as Emperor Ling imagined, but found excuses to shirk it, saying that he would train the soldiers and horses first and then quell the rebellion.

Emperor Ling just sneered after receiving the reply from the state pastors, Emperor Ling knew that everyone was shirking, but Emperor Ling knew very well that no matter how much these people shirked, there was a bottom line, they would not watch their territory all occupied by the rebels, so Emperor Ling didn't bother to ask again.

What made Chen Qun angry was that after Han Fu became the pastor of Jizhou, instead of sending troops to help Xu Shu and others suppress the rebellion of Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, he asked Huangfu Song and Xu Shu for military power, Xu Shu directly refused, and threatened Han Fu, if he dared to make another random request, he didn't mind killing Han Fu first, and Han Fu stopped at this time, but he ignored the war.

Chen Qun didn't expect that after only a year at home, this series of major events happened, history seemed to be joking with him, and when Chen Qun finished his filial piety, Chen Qun felt that he was almost no longer familiar with this Han Dynasty.

Over the past year, Chen Qun has paid close attention to Cao Cao's movements, and has also sent people to find out a lot of information about Cao Cao.

Since Cao Cao killed the minions of the Ten Standing Servants to obtain gold, he returned to Yanzhou and began to develop the power of the Cao family, Chen Qun did not know how much gold Cao Cao had copied from his family, anyway, the current Cao Mansion already had 600,000 servants, and 300,000 people who took refuge in the Cao family, which was not inferior to the scale of the Chen family.

Chen Qun admired Cao Cao's development momentum, and sighed in his heart that Cao Cao is Cao Cao, and this ability is much stronger than ordinary people! But I didn't know that the reason why Cao Cao was able to develop so rapidly in a short period of time was all due to Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai.

The reason why Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai were able to help Cao Cao recruit so many people was because of the hidden forces behind them. Cao Cao himself didn't know that almost all of the people who joined the Cao family were from the White Horse Hall.

Although Chen Qun's manpower was all over every prefecture and county of the Han Dynasty, no one had discovered the existence of the White Horse Hall until now, so Chen Qun had to attribute all this to Cao Cao's strong personal ability.

In November of the fifth year of Zhonghe, Chen Qun, who had finally finished his filial piety, bid farewell to Chen Ji and his family, and took Chen Jiawei to Jizhou to support the battle to eliminate Erzhang. Chen Ji and Chen Chen did not accompany each other, because they had to keep filial piety for Chen Yu for another two years.

Chen Qun took Chen Zhi and 4,000 Chen Jiawei to Hejian County, Jizhou, and saw Xu Shu's army confronting Erzhang here.

After Xu Shu and others invited Chen Qun to the camp of the Chinese army, they first told Chen Qun about the battle situation, and then Xu Shu hugged his fists and said: "Changwen, the war is like this, what do you think?" ”

After listening to Xu Shu's words, Chen Qun frowned and said: "With our strength alone, we will definitely not be able to deal with the two cards, even if we win in the end, it will be a residual victory, why don't you ask for help?" ”

Xu Shu frowned when he heard this: "Helper? I really haven't thought about this, but who to please? Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's big rear is in Youzhou, can we ask Youzhou Mu Liu Yu for help? ”

Chen Qun nodded: "At present, it can only be like this, if Liu Yu doesn't agree, whether it is successful or not, we have to go over and ask Liu Yu to take a look." ”

Xu Shu thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, then I'll go." ”

Zhu Jun frowned and said, "Wait, Yu Qi went to beg Liu Yu, it is better to let Lu Zhi talk to his student Gongsun Zhan, and let Gongsun Zhan send troops to help us." Why didn't I think of this idea before?"

Chen Qun smiled when he heard this: "Okay! Then the two of us will not delay, and ask Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan for help at the same time. ”

Chen Qun and everyone did not expect that Liu Yu would agree to Xu Shu's request, and Liu Yu persuaded Qiu Liju, the leader of the Southern Xiongnu, to collect his troops and no longer help Erzhang's rebellion. At the same time, Gongsun Chan also personally led 20,000 cavalry to help in the battle.

In December, the balance of war tipped in favor of Chen Qun, but the weather was too cold to fight again, and Chen Qun decided to wait until the beginning of spring next year to win two more in one fell swoop.

The five years of Zhonghe passed like this, and on the New Year of the sixth year of Zhonghe, Chen Qun ordered Chen Ji Restaurant in Hejian County to cook a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for the brothers, and Chen Qun and everyone spent the Spring Festival in the barracks.

During the Lantern Festival, Chen Qun couldn't help but sigh alone: "After six years of neutralization, the time to come is still coming!" Reborn, I have hardly made any changes to history, is the history of the Three Kingdoms going to be staged again? ”

In mid-February, when the weather warmed up, Chen Qun's side quickly launched an active attack, and the coalition forces first defeated Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's army at Shimen, and then pursued them all the way until they reached Erzhang's nest Feiru.

Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju saw that the general trend had gone, so they directly gave up Feiru and took refuge in Qiu Liju.

After Youzhou Mu Liu Yu got the report, he posted a notice to reward Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's heads. Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju were then killed by their protégé Wang Zheng.

At this time, it was already June, and Emperor Ling had died for two months because of the vicissitudes of the Han Dynasty, and the young emperor Liu Wei succeeded him.

After Chen Qun and his entourage, who were guests in Liu Yu's mansion, received the heads of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju sent by Wang Zheng, the stone hanging in their hearts was finally completely put down, and the emperor's divine decree also came with the good news that the task was completed, and at the same time, Chen Qun was rewarded with three new sub-orders, but no new tasks were issued.
