Chapter 21 Mi Zhu Arrives
Not to mention the disputes and ideological unity between the Mi brothers, in the evening, Lin Chen and Lu Su from Xu Taicheng County Bureau had completely entered the state after dinner.
[Is this what Lin Ziyuan has to do? It's really shocking. With this plan alone, as long as there are no big problems along the way, Liu Xuande will probably soar into the sky from now on.]
Lu Su, who had settled his mother, took part of the plan that Lin Chen had made. After looking at part of it, he was completely stunned. After a while, he came to his senses, he was looking at the cheek that was younger than him with an incredible look on his face.
"Zi Jing, what's the problem?" Lin Chen, who was doing the second part of the plan, felt the burning gaze. When he raised his head, he happened to look at Lu Su's eyes and asked with a smile.
"Problem?" Lu Su was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "No, no, no, there is no problem. If you really follow the plan you made by Ziyuan, after the lord arrives in Nanyang, he will probably only need a battle to gain a foothold. Then wait for changes in the world."
"Fight? Zijing, you said there are fewer ones."
Lin Chen also smiled bitterly, picked up the pot next to him and took a sip of the cold white, and said with an unhappy look: "After we arrive in Nanyang, we will have to go through at least two battles, and they are wars that we must win."
Lu Su said in surprise: "Twice? Isn't it enough to just block Cao Cao?"
"One time doesn't work. What I thought before is the same. One battle is enough, but that's before there is no such news..."
Lin Chen frowned and handed over a piece of information, saying helplessly: "Liu Biao is even worse than I thought. This is something I had never expected before. If the lord's intelligence had not come quickly, I would have been thinking about easily entering Nanyang..."
"This means... all of them have been abandoned since Yuan Shu?" Lu Su quickly finished reading the information, and then raised his head in a daze.
"Yes, this is probably the case with the intelligence. Since Yuan Shu was cut off from the food route and left Nanyang, there has been no longer a prefect..."
Lin Chen combined the cooperation between Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao in his mind and said in a melancholy tone: "I guess the best situation is that the reason why Liu Biao did not set up a Nanyang prefect is probably because he wanted this area to be under direct jurisdiction, so that he would have a considerable force. The worst result... I am afraid that as you think, Wancheng is occupied by some forces to the north, either Yuan Shu's remnants or Runan Yellow Turbans, there is probably no third result."
After saying that, Lin Chen asked again knowingly: "Zijing, in your opinion, what is the situation in Nanyang now?"
"It's hard to say..." Lu Su frowned, "The information is still not detailed enough, even if I say it, it's really impossible to determine."
After speaking, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "But one thing is certain."
Lin Chen said curiously: "Which point?"
Lu Su smiled and said, "The situation in Nanyang County, which once had a population of more than 2 million and was revived by Emperor Guangwu, is probably very complicated."
[Ziyuan should have thought that the situation in Nanyang was very complicated at the beginning, right? But he still chose this place as the lord's place to imitate Emperor Guangwu? Or have other ideas?] He fell into thinking.
Lu Su actually didn't know that Lin Chen didn't think so much at the moment, even...
Lin Chen's mood has been shaken. [The situation in Nanyang is complicated, and there is indeed a possibility of fishing for troubled waters. Even if we occupy all the northern part of Nanyang, we will never attack Liu Biao, but will Liu Biao be back-pricked?]
He no longer knew whether Nanyang was a good place. If not, Liu Bei would probably end up with a terrible end after he arrived in Nanyang.
By then, there will be no room for advancement, attack, retreat or defense.
However, the situation in Xuzhou is extremely complicated at the moment. If you don’t leave at this time, you may have to surrender to Cao Cao next.
Although Lin Chen was sure that Cao Cao would not attack Liu Bei, what if?
With him, the big swelling moth, if there is a little historical deviation, it will be over.
If it were the beginning, perhaps Lin Chen would not think about this at all. Even if Liu Bei was defeated, he would have to surrender to Cao Cao.
But now, Liu Bei believed in him so much that even if he had no choice but to surrender to survive, he would not be able to work hard for Cao Cao in the end.
After all, the situation on Cao Cao's side was completely different from that on Liu Bei's side. The situation was very subtle and various political struggles had always existed. He didn't want to fall into it and couldn't extricate himself.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen smiled and said, "No matter how much you think, it's useless. Let's go to Nanyang first. Maybe the situation is better than what we thought."
"Yes." Lu Su smiled, lowered his head and started to make plans, but he was thinking in his heart: [If Ziyuan had not already made a certain judgment on the situation, he would have some other ideas, but no matter what, it is not the time to think about these things now. What should I think most now is actually how to reach Nanyang...]
The two of them were busy until they were close to one or two o'clock in the morning before leaving at the same time. They smiled at each other when they left.
...
The next morning, Lin Chen came to the county office early and formulated the next plan and march route.
"Ziyuan, come on, let me introduce you to me. This is my other person, Mi Zhu Mi Zizhong."
At this moment, Liu Bei walked over with an excited look on his face. He also introduced: "This is the chief clerk Lin Chen and Lin Ziyuan, who is recruited for me, comes from the Lin family in Jinan. As soon as he entered the army, he advised me not to return to the army and avoid defeat."
Mi Zhu secretly observed the young man who was gradually approaching. For some reason, he felt an extremely firm confidence in the other party. This point alone made him look up to Lin Chen more than a little. Combined with the troubles that Liu Bei would encounter if he had returned to the master before, he spontaneously developed a sense of closeness to Lin Chen.
Similarly, while Mi Zhu looked at Lin Chen, he was also looking at the very famous luxury businessman in front of him.
Lin Chen was thinking in his heart how great Liu Bei’s charm was. Even if he was defeated, there were still such a wealthy businessman willing to follow him, as if he was destined to be destined.
Because both parties have similar ideas and the current situation is indeed very subtle, they have developed a good impression of each other after just a little contact.
Lin Chen thought it was rare for such a wealthy businessman to provide timely assistance, while Mi Zhu thought that this young man from the Lin family from Jinan was not only energetic, but also had a good vision.
After the two sides chatted for a while, Liu Bei found that Lin Chen seemed to have something to say, so he asked, "Do Ziyuan have something to say?"
"There is one thing that I forgot to say yesterday." Lin Chen patted his head and said casually: "I want to know, can this contract be explained clearly in one go?"
"Of course not."
