Chapter 677: Powder Keg
Luoyang City.
"Find Li Ru? Isn't he dead yet? ”
Chen Shuo exclaimed, this was Ah Niu's first task after he arrived in Luoyang again.
Chen Shuo has gained some experience in the process of presiding over the reconstruction of Luoyang, and has won the recognition of many people, including A Niu, with his outstanding talent. Although Chen Shuo is still very young, he has an almost innate calm temperament, and few things can move him, but the news that Li Ru may not be dead still makes him extremely surprised.
Who would have imagined that Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and most trusted strategist could actually survive this great purge? The most important thing is that there is no such rumor from Chang'an!
Ah Niu's face was stern, and he said: "Yes, he shouldn't be dead, the reason why Chang'an didn't spread this news may be the result of some people's deliberate blockade." Dong Zhuo operated in Liangzhou for many years before entering Beijing, and after entering Beijing, he acted recklessly but did not treat his old department badly, the Liangzhou soldiers were quite loyal to him, it is difficult to say whether anyone has not given up the idea of avenging Dong Zhuo, now Dong Zhuo and his clan have all been killed, even if the Liangzhou soldiers want to turn against each other, they also suffer from the lack of a strong convener, if they know that Li Ru is not dead, what do you say will happen? ”
Chen Shuo's face turned pale suddenly, with Li Ru's identity in Dong Zhuo's interest group and Zhuo's wisdom, it was not an impossible task to reunite the Liangzhou forces that originally belonged to Dong Zhuo. The name of the Liangzhou soldiers is known to the world, after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing and took power, he knew that there must be enough force to protect himself, and there were more and more Liangzhou people in the permanent troops of Si Li, even if Wang Yun and Lu Bu now regained the control of Chang'an, but the number of Liangzhou soldiers in Chang'an is still quite a lot, and the Liangzhou soldiers in Si Li and Liangzhou occupy an absolute advantage in number and combat effectiveness.
When Dong Zhuo was in power, he was deeply guilty, and the whole country hated it, and most of the real executors of those perverse acts were Liangzhou descendants, which also made the victims hate ordinary Liangzhou generals and Liangzhou people. In the past few days after Dong Zhuo's death, many people in Chang'an have shouted "severely punish the accomplices and never forgive", and most of the Liangzhou soldiers will be in panic all day long.
Those Liangzhou soldiers are now in order, it doesn't mean that they will always be honest, they are extremely unstable. It's like a huge powder keg that can explode at any moment, blowing everything around it to pieces. Knowing this, the imperial court now does not dare to show excessive hostility to those Liangzhou soldiers, which can only force the Liangzhou soldiers to the opposite side completely!
Many of the generals from Liangzhou had blood on their hands, and they were under tremendous mental pressure under the severe condemnation, and it was not appropriate to give them too much stimulation now. This powder keg, before completely unplugging its leads. Contact with fire should be avoided as much as possible.
Li Ru is that kind of fire!
Long. Li Ru has sown the seeds of "no last resort" in the minds of the Liangzhou soldiers. The real power of Chang'an. Naturally, I don't want Li Ru to spread out in the world. This does not mean that Wang Yun and others will open up to Li Ru. In fact. Secretly pursued and killed Li Rudi. Growing!
"My lord. If you find Li Ru. Is it to escort them to Chang'an? That's a great job. The imperial court will definitely give us some benefits to Feng Xiang! But. The subordinates think that it is not appropriate for us Fengxiang to directly arrest Li Ru. That is likely to cause the remnants of the Dong thief to be hostile to Feng Xiangdi. It is a good choice to provide a tip newspaper to be done by the imperial court. Even if you get a lesser land reward. In terms of safety, the coefficient has increased by ......"
Chen Shuo's eyes were clear. His expression was eager to try. Quite excited.
This young high-ranking official has been in Fengxiang since he joined Fengxiang. Almost all the time he stayed in Luoyang to be in charge of the reconstruction work. He didn't have enough understanding of a certain city lord's talent "collecting habit". It's also a reasonable thing. In his opinion. The lord was so concerned about Li Ru's whereabouts. It should be out of loyalty to the imperial court. and the benevolence of the people of the Central Plains to avoid the suffering of war. Li Ru is the root of such a bane, and there is no land left. This thing. Once again, it proves the noble feelings of a certain city lord who worries about the country and the people.
The miraculous landlord is really great!
Ah Niu's eyes darkened. I almost didn't faint. Can a person like Li Ru be rewarded by the imperial court for land? If it's Chen Gong and Pang Tong. There is no such "childish" idea at all. But. A certain city lord would not have the leisure or interest to explain to this pure deputy city lord. frowned, "No." Just send as many people as you can to find out. To live. Once there is news of other places. No matter when. I'll be the first to know! ”
The resolute attitude of a certain city lord made Chen Shuo's heart sink, although he was young, his judgment was definitely not bad, and he didn't say much, and promised: "Yes!" ”
Chen Shuo's capable style made Ah Niu quite admired, even if he asked a question that seemed "stupid" just now, it was all focused on Feng Xiang's vital interests, and a smile swept up at the corner of Ah Niu's mouth. casually took the recent income and expenditure statement handed by Chen Shuo, and while casually flipping through it, he asked, "What is the research progress of the next link in the reconstruction mission?" ”
"We have repeatedly scrutinized the possible content of the ninth ring of the reconstruction mission, combined with the current reality in Luoyang, as well as the general trend of the previous ring missions, there are thirteen kinds of speculation about the ninth ring. Among them, the most likely is to upgrade the scale of the city, the probability of birth is, we are already preparing for Luoyang's impact on the fourth-level city, this task will appear sooner or later, Fengxiang will become a fourth-level city in advance, which will help a lot to rebuild Luoyang......
Of course, we have not ignored the remaining twelve possibilities, nine of which have been fully addressed, and the analysis of the last three possibilities is expected to be completed within a month, which is very timely. As soon as a certain city lord's voice fell, Chen Shuo immediately reported it like a few treasures.
Ah Niu nodded, not stingy with his own appreciation, "Very good, don't wait any longer, we will complete the eighth ring right away and enter the next stage!" After speaking, Ah Niu walked out of the house.
After the concept of the task deadline appeared in the reconstruction mission of the Eighth Ring Road, a city lord has been demanding that the reconstruction task should be taken step by step, and before entering the next stage, he should try his best to predict and analyze the possible situation, and make a response plan in advance, so as to avoid the early end of the reconstruction task due to insufficient preparation. This is a typical quest for stability, preferring to be slower, preferring to spend a certain amount of manpower and financial resources, and also to ensure that the task of reconstruction continues smoothly.
Now, a certain city lord is actually unusual, and he can't wait to enter the next link, although Chen Shuo was surprised, he still followed without hesitation, and followed half a step behind the side of a certain city lord.
"Do you know why?" Ah Niu said suddenly.
Chen Shuo thought for a moment and said calmly: "The subordinates know that the territory is trying to establish a system of interests in the East China Sea, and it is trading with many city-level territories near the main city, and a large amount of funds are used for acquisitions, which is due to the fact that the funds in the territory have been relatively tight recently. Now the financial situation of the territory is at its most difficult, and there is not much room left to ensure that the next step of the reconstruction task is studied, and the research and preparation will cost a certain amount of money.
Ah Niu smiled faintly and said: "Now that the end of the reconstruction task is getting closer and closer, we have already paid a huge price for it, at this time, how can we put the reconstruction task in danger because of financial reasons, even if we smash the pot and sell iron, the investment that Luoyang needs will be handed over to you in a lot of money!" Hehe, in order to keep this ancient city, thousands of Fengxiang men died in a foreign land, even Mr. Lu Zhi and my brother with a different surname almost died here, compared to their lives, what is the investment of millions of gold? ”
Although Chen Shuo has not personally experienced the bloody Luoyang, he knows the story of that battle very well, and although things have changed, every time he hears people talk about that war, he can't help but be in awe. The land under his feet was exchanged for his life by the heroic Fengxiang boy!
"Then why is the lord ...... now?
A certain city lord stopped and sighed softly, "Time." Dong Zhuo's death, although it seems to be a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but the shape of Si Li and even the whole country is more complicated, and now this hard-won peace is difficult to last, the possibility of war in various places has been greatly increased, and it is difficult for Fengxiang and Luoyang to avoid being affected. The longer Luoyang is in our hands, the more likely it is that we will encounter war again, we don't have much time to squander, from now on, the reconstruction of Luoyang must be mentioned. ”
The deterioration of the external environment made Fengxiang have to speed up the reconstruction of Luoyang!
Chen Shuo's eyes are somewhat confused, as a high-ranking official, his talent is mainly reflected in internal affairs, and the analysis of the general trend of the world is not his strength.
However, one thing is clear to him: Luoyang, you must speed up!
The requirement of the eighth ring of the chain of missions is for Luoyang to take the leadership of the five city-level territories in the Sili region, so that they can accept Luoyang's jurisdiction. This link is not difficult, due to the strong territory represented by the ancient city of Bo, a large number of less powerful and peace-loving player territories are very active in accepting the jurisdiction of Luoyang, which is an excellent opportunity for them to get rid of exploitation and colonial rule.
The only thing that displeased those lord players was that the vassals released by Luoyang were so small that some lords who were in dire straits or under threat wanted to cry without tears. Some lords said that if they could become a vassal power in Luoyang, they would be willing to pay a certain number of craftsmen, population, or funds to Luoyang.
Ah Niu couldn't cry or laugh because of this.
Everyone knows that the control of Luoyang is in the hands of Fengxiang City, and accepting the jurisdiction of Luoyang is equivalent to accepting the protection of Fengxiang! Ah Niu didn't plan to dig three feet into the ground from the Sili lords, after recognizing Luoyang's leadership, those lords not only regained their freedom, but also really sat back and relaxed, why not?
There have already been four city-level territories under Luoyang's jurisdiction, and now it is only the addition of the last city-level territory that affects the advancement of the chain of missions.
Chen Shuo had a headache because of this, and he could only choose one out of hundreds of applicants, which was also a very sad thing.
"This territory is willing to pay 5,000 people, five high-level craftsmen and 300,000 gold, and he is cheaper."
