At the moment, it was natural to contact Chen Jialuo, the nominally leading helmsman, without his instructions, Xu Yang, a group of people from the Red Flower Society, could not command.

Chen Jialuo is not in the Red Flower Club at this time, many things need to be done by him, Xu Yang just came up with an idea, he doesn't care about the specific operation, so he can only work hard for President Chen.

Fortunately, Chen Jialuo also likes to do this kind of pragmatic work, Xu Yang inquired, and at this moment he is in the granary, responsible for supervising the distribution of disaster relief grain.

So Xu Yang walked around slowly, and shook it to the granary in Dongcheng.

Although there was a riot caused by the siege of the disaster victims not long ago, but fortunately, it subsided after one night, and the entire Lanzhou City was restored to the previous order in a short period of time under the deployment of the leaders of the Red Flower Society.

Except for some of the victims who went to the city to receive food, most of the others were sleeping outside the city, and the tents temporarily set up by the Red Flower Congregation could only be given priority to the old and weak, but Xu Yang had arranged in advance to send a batch of food to the victims outside the city, and the premise was that they were not allowed to enter the city casually.

With food as a foundation, the victims are also very talkative, so the city is relatively stable, and there is no such tragic image of hungry people begging along the streets and selling children and daughters that are usually common in disaster areas.

Compared to other disaster-stricken areas of the same era, Lanzhou can be said to be a paradise.

Lanzhou City is actually not big, and after wandering around for a long time, before the meal, Xu Yang finally arrived at the granary.

From a distance, I saw that Chen Jialuo could be said to be the first soldier, leading the congregation of the Red Flower Society, distributing life-saving food to the victims, and the victims lined up obediently under the command, waiting to receive food one by one, Xu Yang observed on the side, and saw the order of the scene, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he did not speak.

However, Chen Jialuo inadvertently swept his gaze to Xu Yang, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to take over his work, and then straightened his clothes and walked towards Xu Yang.

After leaving a long distance, he bowed his hand to Xu Yang and said hello: "Brother Xu, why do you have time to come over to help today?

This voice, the voice was not light, and the people of the Red Flower Club on the side also followed Chen Jialuo's whereabouts, saw Xu Yang, and all of them said hello with a smile.

Xu Yang has rescued them many times, which is also a bad thing, but under his planning, the Red Flower Society actually easily seized the entire Lanzhou Mansion and robbed the military rations of the Northwest Army, which can be said to be a last resort.

In the eyes of everyone, Xu Yang is no worse than Liu Bowen and Zhuge Liang back then.

If he helps, the rise of the Red Flower Society is inevitable, and if it goes well, it will be idle to overthrow the Qing court and restore the Ming Dynasty.

The most important thing is that Xu Yang still doesn't fight for credit, and after arranging everything, he retreats into the background, doesn't care about those false names at all, and gives the entire credit to the Red Flower Society.

This convinces all those who had doubts about him before.

People are not for fame or profit, they have really helped the Red Flower Society several times, and the money that they said they would leave to themselves has been re-donated to help the victims, such a good person, he actually questioned him before, including several masters including the head of the dust, and I feel a little ashamed to think about it afterwards.

Xu Yang saw that Chen Jialuo greeted him, and his title was changed from the previous Xu Daxia to the more intimate Brother Xu, so he naturally didn't dare to support him, so he hurriedly gave up his hands, and said with a smile: "Chief Helmsman Chen has worked hard, and he is just a scattered person in the next place, so he can't be so polite." ”

Chen Jialuo didn't say much, stepped forward and took Xu Yang's hand, and then said: "Brother Xu is polite, you can take Lanzhou, Brother Xu is the first merit, you come with me quickly, I have something important to discuss with you." ”

Xu Yang was not used to being held by a man, so he quietly withdrew his hand, pretended to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead that did not exist, and said softly: "Chief helmsman, I think we should find a quiet place to talk in detail, it just so happens that I also have something to discuss with you." ”

Chen Jialuo didn't seem to notice Xu Yang's movements, but smiled: "Okay, there is a teahouse in front, let's just go have a cup of tea and rest, and the younger brother still has a lot to ask Brother Xu for advice." ”

Xu Yang smiled without saying a word, and followed him.

When I arrived at the teahouse, I found a private room, and the two sat down.

Xiao Er brought refreshments as instructed, and then closed the door, leaving only Xu Chen and the others sitting opposite each other in the private room.

Xu Yang opened his mouth and said, "Just now, the chief helmsman said that he had something to discuss with me, and he asked for advice." ”

Chen Jialuo also responded politely: "Don't dare, don't dare, junior brother just wants to ask, now that this military ration has almost run out, not only Brother Xu will have a plan for the future development of my safflower society?"

Of course, Xu Yang had his plans in his heart, but there were many things that the other party didn't ask, so it was inconvenient to mention them directly.

"Chief Helmsman Chen asked well, dare to ask Chief Helmsman, what is the goal in mind?" Xu Yang remained silent, only looking at Chen Jialuo's expression.

Chen Jialuo has been praised very high since he was a child, and he looks down on anyone except his master and father-in-law, but this time he was frustrated, but it made him grow a lot.

At the moment, he said humbly: "With Brother Xu Zhuyu in front, how dare the younger brother set a goal in vain, and ask Brother Xu to help plan everything, so as not to make the younger brother so ambitious and take a detour." ”

Xu Yang nodded, willing to listen to others, this is already a lot of progress compared to Chen Jialuo before.

Although he lacks some assertiveness, some words can't be said directly, which makes Xu Yang too unkind.

"Mr. Chen's helmsman is humble and humble, and Xu admires it, but Xu believes that what needs to be worried more than long-term worries is near-term worries. ”

"Oh, do you still want to ask?" Chen Jialuo looked like a good student and listened to Xu Yang's words obediently.

"This is exactly what I came to the helmsman today to discuss, this time we killed the officials and captured the city, Qianlong is afraid that he will not let the Red Flower Club become bigger, the army of the west has been halfway before, presumably at this time will step up the march, and will inevitably arrive at Lanzhou Mansion within three or five days, in the next thought, it is time for us to retreat." ”

Chen Jialuo frowned slightly at this time, and his expression became solemn: "It shouldn't be so fast, right? After all, Lanzhou is more than 3,000 miles away from the imperial capital, and when the news reaches the imperial capital, even if it is an 800-mile expedited fast horse, it will not be able to arrive within three or five days. ”

Xu Yang shook his head, Chen Jialuo was still too angry, and he had a problem with Meng Da during the Three Kingdoms. (Note 1)

Note 1: During the Three Kingdoms, Meng Da contacted Shu Han and prepared to launch a rebellion in Xincheng, Zhuge Liang reminded him to pay attention to the city defense and guard against Sima Yi's surprise attack in Jingzhou, Meng Da thought that Sima Yi was far away in Jingzhou, and when he knew the news, he informed the Emperor of Wei that he would come to crusade against Xincheng again by receiving the holy decree, and he had enough time, but Sima Yi did not follow the conventional path, and marched in a hurry overnight, and only notified Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming on the way, and waited until Meng Da reacted, the Wei army had already approached the city, and Meng Da was ambushed.
