Shen Zhou really didn't disappoint Sun Ning.

After only two days of rest, he had come out of his grief and self-blame and officially began to assist Sun Ning.

In just three days, Shen Zhou had an understanding of the current situation in the city, and immediately took over all kinds of government affairs that made Sun Ning and other soldiers scratch their heads.

The matter of calming the people's minds, which I didn't know where to start, was also quickly implemented at his behest.

This time, he didn't just send people to the streets to do propaganda, but directly opened the official warehouse, moved the mountains of grain outside, and called on the people of the whole city to take it according to the head.

This trick alone lured out most of the ordinary people who were still hiding at home.

And after they really took over the grain from the officers and soldiers, and did not need them to pay for it, the attitude of these people towards the bandits in the mountains changed 180 degrees, and they quickly accepted the new master of Nanyang City.

Then these people who got food went back to spread the propaganda, and only worked for two or three days, and the originally lifeless Nanyang City became lively again.

And as the city gradually recovered, Shen Zhou began to select some honest and usable people from the many officials in the yamen, put them everywhere for trial first, and set many terms and regulations, making it difficult for these guys to deceive their superiors and subordinates.

At the same time, he also had people post posts in various parts of the city, recruiting talented scholars to come and help, and dozens of people came to answer the call in just a few days.

In this way, everything is developing in an orderly manner under Shen Zhou's arrangement, which really makes people feel that they have been able to gain a complete foothold in Nanyang City.

Even Sun Ning faintly had a plan to use this city as a base and not return to Bishan.

At the same time, the turmoil outside did not stop for a while, and people from all sides continued to emerge, whether it was the former imperial court officers and soldiers, local forces, or rebels, all of them were divided or combined, all looking for opportunities to grow and rise in this once-in-a-lifetime chaos.

Even the Pingtian Army, which had worked together to take Luoyang in one go, thus completely causing the chaos in the world, was actually divided into several teams at this time and began to fight against each other.

This is the root cause of Sun Ning and Nanyang City's temporary stability, but everyone knows that this situation will not last long, and as the struggle over there is a winner, there will always be people who will focus their eyes.

So these days, Sun Ning has put more energy into integrating the army and improving combat effectiveness.

Although it was impossible to teach these ancient generals the modern special warfare skills he had mastered, some simple methods of training troops that were united in the hearts of the military and forbidden were still popularized in the end.

However, on the last day of October, he did not train again, but sat with Shen Zhou and chatted about the current trend of the world.

Shen Zhou's spirit is not bad now, and he looks like he has come out of his grief.

At this time, he was dressed in a Confucian robe, but he was slightly thin, and he was explaining the general trend of the world that he had judged to Sun Ning in front of a "Geographical Map of the Mountains and Rivers of Dayue".

"My lord, at present, the world is falling apart, and the general trend of the heroes rising together is unstoppable. Although no one has officially proposed to ascend the throne and claim the throne for the time being, it will not take a year or two for such ambitious people to gather people's hearts through fame. ”

As soon as he came to this conclusion, the expressions of Yanhu He Qing and other Yulinwei generals became quite solemn, and they peeked at Sun Ning with some uneasiness.

Sun Ning didn't show any unhappiness, his face was calm, and he smiled: "This is reasonable." Qin lost his deer and chased it all over the world, and now it is just a repeat of history. ”

"The lord is very considerate, but there is still a big difference between the current situation and the battle between Chu and Han.

"At that time, the world was really divided, as long as there were some soldiers and horses, they could compete in the troubled times and get a piece of the pie. But now, that doesn't last long.

"If it is as expected, there are only one or two cities, and the forces with less than 100,000 men and horses will inevitably be quickly swallowed up by other forces within a year, and there will be no more than seven forces left in the end."

Sun Ning's eyebrows raised slightly, and he had already heard the hidden meaning from his words: "How do you say this?" ”

"Because before this, in fact, all parts of the world have been controlled and controlled by the local clans, whether it is the government, the officers and soldiers, in fact, they are just their vassals, and the imperial court decrees have long been ignored by them.

"For example, the nine wealthy families in Jiangnan have penetrated into all aspects by relying on their years of foundation and the marriage and merger between each other.

"In this situation where the court is in name only, they can take advantage of the situation and take the whole of Jiangnan into their own hands.

Then, as the interior is completely stabilized, they will extend their tentacles into the Central Plains or the southwest, thus encroaching on the world step by step.

"With such a force that is extremely powerful in terms of military strength and financial resources, how can those small forces in Jiangbei Zhuzhou County be able to keep it?"

This remark made Sun Ning deeply agree, and nodded yes.

Now he is not the first time he has arrived in Dayue, and his eyes are black, so he naturally knows more about the overall situation of the world.

The nine surnames of Jiangnan, as early as a few decades ago, have achieved the integration of government and business, and have become the de facto masters of this piece of Dayue wealth, and the imperial court's binding force on them is getting smaller and smaller. Not to mention now.

Seeing Sun Ning nodded, Shen Zhou was even more encouraged, and continued to analyze: "Then there is the Central Plains, although now I see that there are more forces in the Central Plains and there are many parties, but in fact, there are only a few that are really powerful.

"After the official army in Luoyang and the surrounding areas died or rebelled, only the Pingtianwang rebels were the strongest, if they really swept the Central Plains with all their might, I am afraid it won't be long before the Central Plains will be in their hands.

But fortunately, there was a contradiction within him after all, and now it has become a divide.

"But even so, their strength is not something that one or two cities can handle.

"Now they just can't tell the difference, and they don't give up for a while, and they are at an impasse for a while, but after a month or two, it's a completely different story.

"Moreover, there is another force in the Central Plains that no one can ignore, and that is the Liangzhou Guo family.

"Like the nine surnames in the south of the Yangtze River, the Guo family of Liangzhou also has a century-old foundation in the local area as a general, not only in this state and county territory, but also in the entire Huaibei cities may be under its control. Once they make a decision, their power swells rapidly.

"At that time, because of their geography, they will inevitably fight against the rebels, and many nearby cities will inevitably be regarded as food for them. And among them, our Nanyang is the first to bear the brunt. ”

Having said so much, this last sentence is the key point that Shen Zhou wants to mention!

And as soon as these words came out, everyone, including Sun Ning, turned pale.
