Chen Yan was shocked when he heard this, and immediately became interested, this Mao Jue really spoke very well, and in just two or three sentences, Chen Yan's interest had been completely aroused.

Sure enough, Mao Jue saw Chen Yan's body leaning slightly, obviously interested, and immediately said: "At this time, looking at the world, although it is falling apart and the princes of all parties are entrenched, they are still divided into two factions. One faction is the nobles of the high sect, such as Sun Ce in Jiangdong, Yuan Shao in Hebei, and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, although these people are strong, but after all, they are only from famous families, not palace nobles, so they are not counted......"

Speaking of this, Mao Jue paused for a moment and continued: "The other faction is the royal relatives and descendants, such as Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Liu Bei in Xuzhou, and Liu Yan in Yizhou...... These people are all royal relatives, and they are all bloody, and their loyalty to the Han Dynasty is far greater than that of the rest of the warlords. ”

Chen Yan nodded when he heard this, but suddenly remembered Liu Yu in Youzhou, if Liu Yu did not die, then most of the territory of the entire world was still in the hands of the royal family, and Liu Yu's benevolent person was the first to die, which is really embarrassing.

I only heard Mao Jue continue: "And now that the Han Dynasty has been revitalized, under the leadership of Da Sima, the military strength of my Han Dynasty is also powerful, but with all due respect, in the face of so many princes from all over the world, I am afraid that it will not be possible with your strength alone, and the best way now is to contact these Han clan relatives, let them work outside, and then combine inside and outside to sweep away the rest of the princes." ”

When Chen Yan heard this, his eyes lit up suddenly, Mao Jue was really a person with political foresight. Although Chen Yan killed Cao Cao at this time and unified the Central Plains, in this way, the surrounding princes would definitely be wary of Chen Yan, and even more so, they would even unite to resist Chen Yan together.

People from afar don't talk about it for the time being, just talk about the alliance between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, this alliance is enough to make Chen Yan afraid.

And now Mao Jue's rhetoric immediately put Chen Yan and the remaining major warlord forces in the world in the united front, such a strategic vision, it is really worthy of the far-sighted strategist and politician who proposed "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes".

Chen Yan hurriedly got up, bowed to Mao Jue and said, "Thank you, sir, for your remarks, such an opinion is like manna for a long drought for me." ”

Mao Jue hurriedly got up and returned the salute, and said: "Mao Jue is not talented, what he said is the opinion of the people, I didn't expect Da Sima to respect Mao Jue so much, it really makes the contemptible people sincerely frightened......

Chen Yan laughed, and immediately asked Sima Yi: "Erlang, what do you think of Mr. Mao Ji's level?" ”

Sima Yi hurriedly stepped forward, nodded and said: "Mr. Mao Jue's insights are penetrated into the inside, and into the wood, it is indeed the dragon and phoenix among the people, with the help of Mr. Mao Jue, we will definitely be able to add wings to the tiger." ”

Chen Yan smiled when he heard this, immediately took Mao Jue's hand, and said: "Okay, Mr. Mao Jue, if you don't dislike it, stay by my side, and when I finish the lineup here, I will give you a suitable position tomorrow when I return to Beijing." ”

Mao Jue didn't expect that he would get such love from Chen Yan when he first arrived, and he was promised to send him to Jingshi to meet the Son of Heaven, such a sudden happiness made Mao Jue almost out of breath, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted: "Thanks to the lord's weight, dare not to die?" ”

Chen Yan hurriedly smiled and helped Mao Yan up, this time he really didn't bury the talent, Mao Yan's advent gave Chen Yan a great political help, in this troubled world, only strategists and generals are not enough, in the final analysis, long-sleeved and good dancing political talents are also an important embodiment of strength.

Just as Chen Yan and Mao Jue were chatting happily, suddenly an extremely harsh explosion sounded in the distance!

Chen Yan and the others were shocked when they heard the sound, this sound came from the farthest outskirts of Puyang City, but the sound was so loud that it was almost deafening, Chen Yan was even more shocked in his heart, such a sound can only be compared to the thunder.

"What's the situation?"

Chen Yan frowned and asked, but Sima Yi also shook his head again and again, obviously not understanding what this voice was.

Chen Yan was nervous, and hurriedly took Sima Yi to the place where the voice came from, although Cao Cao had been expelled at this time, but there are probably still many remnants of Cao Jun in Puyang City, and what is even more terrifying is Zuo Ci's Danding Sect, which is widely religious, although Zuo Ci has only stayed in Puyang City for a few years, but at this time there are no longer a few Danding disciples in Puyang City.

When Chen Yan and Sima Yi arrived, they saw that a lot of people had gathered there, and there were two figures in the crowd who were very familiar, it was Jia Xu and Guo Jia.

Chen Yan stepped forward quickly and asked in a loud voice, "Mr. Wenhe, Fengxiao, what's going on here?" ”

Guo Jia and Jia Xu saw Chen Yan coming, and hurriedly turned around to salute, and then Guo Jia said first: "Back to the lord, there are a few remnants of the Danding Sect here who are hiding and cultivating the elixir, and in the end, because of the overdose of medicinal materials, the elixir was not refined, but their own Danding was refined, causing such a tragedy. ”

When Chen Yan heard this, he looked at it violently, and saw that a low house in front of him had collapsed, and the fire in the house was extinguished, and the smoke was filled, which was obviously a place for alchemy, and the power of this explosion was indeed amazing, not to mention the huge popping sound that Chen Yan heard, just look at the dilapidated house in front of him, you can know how powerful the Danding burst at that time.

Chen Yan let out a long sigh and asked, "Are there any casualties?" ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "More than ten Taoist priests have died, and they are afraid that they are the remaining Danding disciples in this city, but now I don't know if they are all dead." ”

Chen Yan was silent when he heard this, and suddenly his heart moved, and he thought, "Alas? Since the Taoist priests who are alchemists here can cause such a large-scale explosion, doesn't it mean that with the existing resources of this era, I can make gunpowder? ”

Thinking of this, Chen Yan suddenly whispered: "Mr. Wenhe, quickly ask someone to gather all the Danding Sect disciples in Puyang City, I have an idea in my heart now, let's go to the mansion for a meeting in a while." ”

When Jia Xu heard Chen Yan's words, his eyes moved, and he seemed to be very puzzled, and Guo Jia on the side didn't understand what Chen Yan's move meant, but seeing Chen Yan's expression so excited, he must have thought of some excellent idea, but what this idea was, it seems, I am afraid that it will only be known for a while.
