Chapter 28 Human Affection

"If the Kwantung princes come to attack with all their might, how should our army resist. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

I thought it was some earth-shattering problem, but I didn't expect it to be this problem, Chen Xun's heart blossomed.

"Lao Li, Lao Li, I may not be able to answer you to your satisfaction if you change the topic casually, but this question has knocked you into the muzzle. I will answer your question with your plan in the future to see if you are satisfied.

Chen Xun frowned, made a contemplative look, and then replied slowly.

"There are rumors among the people that there is a Han in the east and a Han in the west, if the princes come to attack, they will first send generals to garrison the two passes of Hujiao and Bishui, delay for a long time, and then prepare to move the capital to Chang'an."

"Bold thief, dare to put forward such a self-cutting proposal, Luoyang is the land of Longxing, if you rashly move the capital, not to mention what kind of blow it will cause to the prestige of Xiangguo, just say that the resistance of those merchants will make Xiangguo lose the hearts of the people." Li Ru was furious, if he hadn't been able to beat Chen Xun, he would have rolled up his sleeves and fought Chen Xun alone at this time.

Chen Xun was stunned when he saw this, and said secretly in his heart: "Li Wenyou, Li Wenyou, this is the desperate plan you came up with in the future, why do you have this expression." But Chen Xun's face remained unchanged, and he still looked confident.

"Dare to ask Wen Xiansheng, how is the military strength of Xiangguo compared to the Kwantung princes."

"A single person, Lord Xiangguo is not afraid, but if the Kwantung princes come with all their might, it is a little overwhelming." Li Ruqiang replied with anger.

"Dare to ask Mr. Xiangguo's land and population compared to the Kwantung princes."

"The princes of the Kanto region, the land population is several times that of the Xiangguo." Li Ru's face changed, and his expression seemed to soften a little.

"If you compare wealth, the money and grain in the treasury can be compared to the princes of Kwantung."

"In the treasury, because of the continuous conquest and construction of palaces, it has long been bottomed out, and those princes have divided one side and has abundant money and food, so our army might as well do it."

"In such a form, no matter in terms of troops, land and population, and financial resources are inferior to the Kwantung princes, a strong war can only consume the military strength of the Xiangguo Lord, it is better to move the capital."

"If we give up our geographical advantages, what should the princes do with our army after them." Li Ru's brows were tightly locked, but his attitude was much better than before. ”

Hearing this, Chen Xun laughed and said: "If the Kwantung princes are advantageous, they will be peaceful, and if they are not profitable, they will be divided, and there are many disagreements between the princes, as long as Luoyang is ceded, then their alliance will definitely be torn apart." When the time comes, the Lord Xiangguo will sit in the rich land of Guanzhong, wait for the success or failure of the princes, and reap the profits. ”

"What about those Luoyang families, they can't be willing to give up their family business and go to Guanzhong with us." Li Ru frowned, he still considered these very comprehensively.

Chen Xun sighed and said: "No one will be willing to leave their homeland, but these manpower and material resources must not be left to the Kwantung princes, otherwise it will become a big disaster, so if it really comes to that point, there is only one way, kill all those who have dissent, and then burn Luoyang." ”

Li Ru's face turned pale, as if he saw the tragic fate of those who did not want to obey, and a raging fire burned down the prosperous capital.

After a long time, Li Ru froze and looked at Chen Xun with a re-examining gaze, and he found that he couldn't see through the young man in front of him.

"This man is not weaker than me in terms of the art of war or strategy, and he is unrivaled in bravery. If he can do his best to help my father-in-law and join forces with me, then why not be afraid of those Kwantung princes. ”

Li Ru seemed to have made up his mind and said: "Supplement, I will do my best to help you with the matter of the fourth sister, but if you have a different heart for Xiangguo in the future, then I will never spare you." ”

"Sir, rest assured, since the choice of the assistant is the master, then no matter what, we will never give up." Chen Xun bowed his hand to Li Ru, and he still respected Chen Xun, the wise man of the time.

Li Ru's expression became a little gloomy, and he said coldly: "This is the best." ”

"Sir, someone sneaked into my mansion yesterday and assassinated me, and I have left the body, but I can't think of how to use it." Chen Xun didn't say that those people were sent by Dong Huang, because it was not good for him or Li Ru to say it too clearly.

"Those people should have killed themselves by biting their own poison sacs, you didn't have anything left alive." Li Ru glanced at Chen Xun and said coldly.

"Those people are loyal and righteous, and they didn't give me a chance to capture them alive."

"Then the loyal and righteous should enjoy the treatment of the loyal and righteous people, and Lord Xiangguo doesn't like those who make small moves behind their backs." With Li Ru's wisdom, he knew the cause and effect with a slight analysis.

"Supplemented by obedience." Chen Xun bowed respectfully.

"Supplement, you've been here for a long time, and it just so happens that I still have some things to deal with with Lord Xiangguo, so you can go with me."

Hearing this, Chen Xun was overjoyed, and with Li Ru's help, the matter was already half successful.

Chen Xun entered the Prime Minister's Mansion under the leadership of Li Ru, Li Ru went to Dong Zhuo's study on the grounds of deliberations, and Chen Xun stayed in the inner hall to wait for Dong Zhuo's summons.

At this time, a short, black-faced young man entered the inner hall under the leadership of the attendant, and this person was Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao's face was not good-looking, and under Chen Xun's subtle observation, he also found that Cao Cao's right sleeve seemed to bulge slightly.

"The historical Mengde sacrificed the knife?" Chen Xun blinked and said secretly in his heart.

"Supplementally, you're there too." Seeing Chen Xun, Cao Cao immediately walked over cordially.

In Luoyang City, under Chen Xun's intentional friendship, he had a good relationship with Cao Cao. Cao Cao said that he was not good-looking, but he had a unique personality charm, which deeply attracted Chen Xun.

To be honest, Chen Xun really doesn't want this masterpiece to fall, but he is about to become Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, will he report Cao Cao.

In the end, Chen Xun gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Meng De came this time to offer a treasure to Lord Xiangguo." ”

With a swipe, Cao Cao's face turned pale.

"Supplementally, what do you mean by that?"

"I heard that Brother Meng De has a famous knife called the Seven Star Treasure Knife, I love it very much, I don't know if Brother Meng De can cut his love." Chen Xun stepped forward and grabbed Cao Cao's sleeve.

Cao Cao's face changed again, and a wave of despair rose in his heart.

"Brother Meng De, I'm joking, you keep the knife yourself, you asked me for a horse the day before yesterday, I have prepared it, and I am buying it outside Luoyang City, if there is nothing important to discuss with Lord Xiangguo, I will go and try it quickly."

Cao Cao's face showed a hint of joy, he knew that Chen Xun wanted to let him go this time. hurriedly bowed down and said: "The grace of the auxiliary, Meng De will repay it in the future." With that, he hurriedly left Dong Zhuo's prime minister's mansion.

"Hey, come here." Chen Xun beckoned to a small servant not far away, asked him for some pen and paper, and wrote a letter.

Chen Xun wrapped the envelope and handed him to the little guy, with a golden cake in his hand dangling back and forth.

"Hurry up and give this letter to my subordinate Wang to buy, and it will be yours." Chen Xun threw the golden cake on the table, and the subordinate immediately showed joy and said yes again and again.

"Cao Mengde, since you already owe me a favor, then let it owe it more." Chen Xun's eyes flickered and he looked into the distance.
