Chapter 157: Fixing the Storm
PS: Hoo!! It disappeared for several days, and it was a last resort. I don't want to say more, thank you for your support and waiting!
Chen Gong and Zhang Yang, who were almost scared half to death, sat in Lu Chen's room and wiped cold sweat silently, not even bothering to take a sip of tea when it was cold. Lu Chen was talking eloquently on the side, not talking about anything else, but about his power! Before Lu Buwei returned, Chen Gong was in charge of government affairs, and Zhang Yang was in charge of military affairs, but he had to consult Lu Chen for all major matters.
Chen Gong and Zhang Yang nodded and agreed, having seen Lu Chen's intelligence, or whether it was insidious (it was clear just now that he had arranged it properly, deliberately scaring the two elders, isn't it insidious?) In the final analysis, after this incident, they were completely convinced. The arrogance or self-righteousness of the past has gradually faded away.
These two people thought to themselves, Lu Chen is sixteen years old, and he is also an adult, he is Lu Bu's only son, and when Lu Bu is not there, he is in charge, which is understandable. They never thought that even if Lu Bu came back, Lu Chen would not plan to return the power.
Lu Chen is not greedy for power, and he is not even willing to take care of these things, but he will die no matter what, and he has no choice.
sent Chen Gong and Zhang Yang away, and Lu Chen lay on the step, letting Xiao Meow continue to step on his stomach, while planning in his heart how to seize power from Lu Bu.
Although Lu Bu loves Lu Chen incomparably, this matter of power has always been opposed to family affection, and I don't know what he should think when the time comes. No matter what he thought, Lu Chen was already determined to "usurp the throne"!
Regarding the recklessness of Lu Bu, Chen Gong and others, Lu Chen learned the "bad news" from entering Mayi. is trying to find a way to remedy it, it seems that he has nothing to do, but in fact, it takes a lot of brain cells, this dad is indeed more than Lu Qi can stab Lou Zi! If you don't usurp power, the family will be old and young, and tens of thousands of people in Yanmen will end up bleak one by one.
At this time, he missed Pang Tong very much, who was still bargaining with the Wuhuan people against the old chrysanthemum. There's this stuff here. He barely had to think about it, he just had to follow his evil plan.
Lu Chen thought for a long time, and then fell asleep tired.
Little Meow kicked him in the stomach dissatisfied, and her little feet turned red. My brother didn't wake up either. She had no choice but to sit bored on Lu Chen's belly and spit bubbles and play.
But the most tired person is not Lu Chen. He is just a conductor, and the most tired are Zhao Yun and Nameless.
Needless to say, Zhao Yun came to Yanmen after a long journey just after the war. This is to lead troops to the Hun territory to save the old man he has never met, and he doesn't even have the kung fu to learn from Lu Qi at a negative distance, which is not bitter. Of course, in Zhao Yun's opinion, the hard-hitting Huns and millions of iron horses are probably easier than facing Lu Qi.
It is not easy to be nameless, and the task given to him by Lu Chen is to contact the Xianbei people, and exchange money, food, and even weapons for the Xiongnu's troops, because he grew up in Xiliang and knows some Xiongnu and Xianbei dialects. This is not too difficult a task, after all, the greed of the Xianbei people does not need to be repeated, but in order to negotiate within three days, it is necessary to have three war horses day and night!
After that, Zhang Yang and Chen Gong, the two pig teammates who aided in the abuse, Lu Chen naturally couldn't let them be idle.
Chen Gong is responsible for sending grain to Luo County day and night, he does not fight with the Huns, he wants Zhang Gu and others to defend Luo County, answer Lu Bu, and Zhao Yun is reinforcement. I believe that it will not be a problem to hold on until the Huns send troops.
Zhang Yang was responsible for mobilizing the whole army, garrisoning various checkpoints and arteries in Yanmen, and sending scouts to reconnoiter the wind and grass around him, and Lu Chen was worried about Yuan Shao's surprise attack. After all, Lu Chen had just stabbed Yuan Shao's old chrysanthemum to the point of blood gushing, and there was no reason why he seized the good opportunity for Lu Bu to rashly start a war with the Xiongnu and not give Lu Chen a chance.
What? Armistice?
That's right, the armistice treaty was signed, and the two sides also pressed their fingerprints, but what does it have to do with the war?
After signing an armistice treaty, do you really not attack each other? I think so with in my head!
Peace is possible only when the two sides are equal in strength. Although Lu Chen doesn't have to equal Yuan Shao's entire power, just the Jinyang high-ranking cadres closest to him are not fuel-efficient lamps! After the end of the Battle of Yijing, the army sent back, and Jinyang now has a full army of 30,000! And the food and grass are ready!
However, a few days later, there was no change in Jinyang Gaogan, not that Yuan Shao did not give the order to let him wait for the opportunity to sneak attack Yanmen.
This is because on the day that Lu Chen sent troops to rescue Lu Bu, he sent someone to deliver a letter to Zhang Yan. The content of the letter was as shameless as ever, to the effect that my father had done something stupid, Yanmen was very dangerous now, and Gao Gan might send troops to attack Yanmen at any time. We are friendly troops, and besides, your son is a guest at my place, do you think you can do me a favor and relieve the siege? You sent troops to attack Huguan to contain Gao Gan for half a month, and I, I talked to your son and let him come back after half a month.
I have to say that Lu Chen is indeed a very talkative person, and he can actually talk to the dead?
In other words, Lu Zhan, who helped Lu Chen write the letter that night, had a nightmare, and was finally ridden by the angry Ah Yuan, which was miserable......
After Zhang Yan received the letter, she poked seventy-eight knives on the silk cloth, and then burned the letter. This guy still knows how to keep secrets? Keep it a secret, uncle! He was so angry that he scolded the letter in front of a cloud of ashes by himself for most of the day, and his mouth was foaming!
Friendly army, you uncle! Lao Tzu is also poisoned! Just came back to life, with such allies?
Help you out? Are you a fool to be a fool? You are only happy when you are destroyed!
Hit the pot off? There are a number of heroes in the world, and Lao Tzu went crazy to fight! Lao Tzu is still waiting for Cao Bald and Scar Yuan to die, I'm so simple!
You caught my son and didn't let him back, so the turtle king bastard sent troops to help you!!
Then, Zhang Yan sent troops to attack Huguan.
The turtle king bastard or something, it's nothing to be dang occasionally, especially for the sake of his son's life, it seems that it's fun to mix turtles! Haha, you laugh so desolately, forget it, Lu Chen, one day, the old man will push you to death with his own hands!
Therefore, Gao Gan, who had just received Yuan Shao's order and was preparing to attack Yanmen, had to divide his troops and have a tea party with Zhang Yanwu and a large number of yellow turban thieves.
Chen Gong and Zhang Yang, the two of them, have been constipated in the past few days. In the end, I found out that the turmoil was calmed down by Lu Chen before it started, and I was glad and admired in my heart.
In terms of the means of playing with people, Lu Chen is too much higher than them, not to mention that there is a Pang Tong whose heart is more terrifying than his appearance.
Yanmen has no worries, but Lu Chen has been busy these days.
However, it was Pang Tong who completed the transaction with the Wuhuan people and returned to Yanmen with a large number of livestock, and Lu Chen was busy discussing the resettlement with him.
Pang Tong brought back a wide variety of livestock, including lambs waiting to be fed and sturdy cattle. There are tall war horses. In addition, the most numerous were animals that walked on their own legs, and were unclothed slaves, about 10,000 people. That's right. They are animals. At least in the eyes of the Wuhuan people. They are cattle, and they are quite worthless animals, listen to Pang Tong. An adult slave is equal to one-third of a horse and one-half of an ox.
Lu Chen and Pang discussed and sold these slaves.
That's right, it was sold, sold to the big family of Yanmen and the newly migrated Wen family, both of whom needed a lot of manpower and animal power to reclaim the wasteland. The rule here is that whoever reclaims the wasteland belongs to whom, and does not pay taxes for three years, and who does not want to buy more slaves, oxen and horses to reclaim the wasteland?
Of course, during this period, many people talked about Lu Chen being a fool and not collecting taxes. Even Lu Bu's old subordinates had many people who looked at Lu Chen like this, but Chen Gong Pang Tong naturally knew Lu Chen's thoughts, or their own ideas.
If you want military food and military salary, you must rely on taxes? Lu Chen said no! This time, he earned more than half a year's military salary by selling slaves, cattle and sheep.
In the future, he still has a way to make money.
What? I have money, food, a wife and children, and I don't want to fight? Haha, you are so naïve, who did not become a soldier, or rather, whose family deserted. So good, confiscate all property, women and children! The dogs have brought you stew! SO-ESYE!
Cruel or cold-blooded policies usually work well because they're simple and straightforward!
On the third day, Zhao Yun rushed to the besieged site of Lü Bu and Zhang Liao, cooperated with Zhang Yang's infantry, rescued Lü Bu, retreated to Luo County, and then held on. The Huns had more than 10,000 cavalry, which was very arrogant, but they would not attack the city, so they had to open a bonfire outside the city every night.
On the fifth day, an elite cavalry of Xianbei attacked the Xiongnu royal court, and the Xiongnu withdrew from Luo County, leaving 3,000 cavalry to continue to chase Lu Bu. Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and the others began to slowly retreat back to Yanmen, and Nameless also came back with Luo hoop legs. Lu Chen began to send people to Xianbei to deliver the promised grain, grass and weapons, this is a behemoth, if you don't give it, he will beat you, provoking this thing is much more difficult to deal with than provoking the Huns.
On the sixth day, Lu Chen asked Zhang Fangbai and others to send Zhang Fangbai and others back to Montenegro.
On the twelfth day, I saw my peaceful and quiet son in the ice coffin, and after listening to Bai Ping's crying, I heard that Bai Ping was also pampered twice by Wen Chou...... Zhang Yan fainted on the spot. After waking up, Zhang Yan was furious and raised troops to attack Yanmen, claiming that he was going to stop the war with Gao Gan, and he just wanted to go through the state to fight Lu Chen's shameless villain.
Gao Gan said that you are a fool for me? Between Yanmen and your Black Mountain, there is Lao Tzu's Jinyang, are you going to play a vacation? But that's too fake, isn't it? Besides, aren't your Black Mountain Army and Yanmen Lu Chen in the same group? Doesn't this still help them contain their troops and beat me up? This is an insult to Lao Tzu's IQ! As a result, Gao Gan continued to block the main roads everywhere, preventing Zhang Yan's soldiers and horses from buying and merging with the state.
Zhang Yan was so angry that she vomited three liters of blood...... Then, spitting and spitting, it was much more comfortable, buried Zhang Fang, went home to deal with his wives and concubines, and prepared to have another ......
Lu Chen didn't know about Zhang Yan's tragic situation, he was very, very, very depressed now, because he finally returned to Yanmen, saved his father, leveled Zhang Yan and Gao Gan, and was ready to explore Zhen Mi's depths, but he got a bad news - Zhen Mi's aunt is here again!
It's been exactly a month! Really punctual.
That night, the white flower swollen cloud sleeves rolled into Lu Chen's quilt, and then, he was kicked down again, and slept all night next to Xiao Meow not far away, and the cloud sleeves were not aggrieved.
Lu Chen was aggrieved, how old would this girl be?
Xiao Meow, who was upgraded to Lu Chen's personal little maid, was also very aggrieved, this sister was so shameless, she didn't wear pants and slept next to someone! Shame on you!
The next day, Lu Chen went to Pang Tong to shoot a cannon.
Ahem......
Of course, it wasn't that he had any negative distance contact with Pang Tong, Lu Chen just switched his attention - this was something that he and Pang Tong had newly come up with.
Cannon!
Not a cannon!
This is artillery, not a catapult.
Of course, this is not the kind of copper cannon that Lu Chen knows, in fact, this is a very primitive thing, derived from Lu Chen's idea.
Swap the trebuchet's stones for bombs, light the fuse in advance, and throw it.
Boom Boom –
In the south of the city, a group of farmers who were farming were so frightened that they cried and begged for mercy.
Lu Chen and Pang Tong laughed, with this thing, it would be simple for the cavalry to attack the city or something in the future. The power of a bomb is much more powerful than a stone.
Then, Lu Chen instructed the soldiers to send the newly made ten stone throwers and hundreds of clay pot bombs to Yanmen Pass.
Tomorrow, Lu Chen will go to Yanmen Pass to greet the "triumphant" Lu Bu, and ...... Behind him were more than 3,000 Hun elite horsemen. Lu Chen was ready to welcome Lu Bu with a salute, of course, the focus was to take care of the Huns behind them, which could be regarded as the first real test of artillery! (To be continued......)
