Longevity: Beginning from Becoming a Clan Leader

That night.

Chen Nuo called Chen Deng and discussed it for a while.

soon.

Some of Chen's smuggled items began to increase sales to Juyan County in the north, and the news that Chen Yong was about to get married also spread.

The atmosphere in the entire Chen family became festive.

Chen Yong is the top figure in the Chen family, just below Chen Nuo. The number two figure is getting married, so he is very happy.

However, under such circumstances, a piece of bad news also reached Chen Nuo's ears.

Chen's Hall.

In the empty and majestic lobby, some senior officials gathered here.

The atmosphere was as calm as water, with only Chen Xiang's voice ringing.

"...The caravan was all impounded at the pass in the northern part of Hexia County in the name of inspection, and part of it was ironware and grain destined for Juyan County."

"Not only that, some of our Chen family's strongholds and properties in the north of Hexia have also been sealed off. I have reason to suspect that there are traitors in our clan in the north."

Chen Xiang reported, "Although we have taken precautions in advance and many strongholds do not have too many important information and supplies, but when accumulated, this is a considerable loss, and the most important thing is the reputation Damaged."

Speaking of which.

Chen Xiang's tone was filled with anger, "King Cheng took away our family's property in the name of destroying the bandit stronghold. Although he didn't name anyone, people all over the north of the river are spreading rumors that my family, Chen, is colluding with the bandits." , intercepted passing caravans, and massacred civilians in the north. King Cheng's troops always thought they were damaged by this incident. "

"Also, King Cheng has announced an increase in grain commercial taxes and will intensify crackdowns on smuggling..."

After saying these words.

The atmosphere in the entire lobby has become extremely depressing.

Ning Hongye, who was sitting next to Chen Nuo, also had a gloomy face.

As the person who is in charge of half of the family's finances, she is very aware of the family's smuggling business, of which grain accounts for the majority. In these troubled times, grain sales are extremely profitable, and Chen's because of the special seeds Chen Nuo took out and the extent of the disaster. Because of the small size, food has always been abundant enough to be exported.

Now the increase in grain commercial taxes and the crackdown on smuggling are clearly aimed at the Chen family.

Not to mention things like seizure, seizure, and damage to reputation.

Almost instinctively, Ning Hongye did a quick mental calculation in her heart, and the corners of her eyes twitched slightly.

This is definitely a huge loss!

"After receiving the news, Long Yuan within its territory has begun to evacuate supplies urgently and assists the caravan to leave, but it still has not evacuated too much."

After Chen Xiang said this, he lowered his head and stopped talking, waiting for Chen Nuo's order.

In fact, these losses cannot be blamed on Chen Xiang or Long Yuan. For matters on the other side's territory, the manpower deployed by Long Yuan is not enough to affect the other side's top management and is unable to prevent such things.

clatter.

clatter.

clatter.

His fingers tapped lightly on the back of the chair, making a crisp sound.

Chen Nuo closed his eyes and thought.

To be honest, Chen Nuo was not surprised at all by what Cheng Wang did.

After all, he refused the other party's solicitation.

When facing the enemy, naturally no method is excessive.

And Chen Nuo had already predicted that many industries in the north would be reduced in size. This was what he had explained not long ago after rejecting the other party.

However, Chen Nuo didn't expect that King Cheng would act so quickly, and shouldn't he deal with Poison Valley and Yaowang Valley first?

After all, in terms of geopolitics, he should not suppress himself first no matter what he did.

Nowadays, this is not much different from breaking up.

Is this because Chen's development is too fast and has aroused the other party's fear?

Or is there any other reason?

In any case, since we have chosen to go to war, there is nothing more to say.

Chen Nuo opened his eyes and looked at the senior executives.

Chen Yong's mouth was open, and his eyes were full of fierce fighting spirit. If this trip hadn't sharpened his temper a little, he might have stood up and shouted to kill them all.

Chen Deng remained calm and looked at Chen Nuo calmly.

Chen Shuiwen was mumbling something, and he was tapping an abacus in his hand, as if he was calculating accounts. The more he calculated, the more ugly his face became, and he seemed to be getting angry.

The taciturn Wei Shuao suddenly raised his head and chest when he saw Chen Nuo's gaze, and his meaning was self-evident.

Chen Li, who was in charge of slaves and project construction, looked angry.

Even Wang Qingxuan, who is in charge of medicine, looks unhappy.

Chen Xiao and others are not here, they are still leading troops to garrison.

Everyone seems to have the same meaning.

"King Cheng is openly provoking our clan by behaving like this. If we don't teach him a profound lesson, I'm afraid cats and dogs will dare to touch the tiger's beard."

"From today on, we will cut off all material transactions with King Cheng's forces and arrange for Long Yuan to bring back all the detained people."

"Chen Yong, I'll give you a team of troops. Go to the north, attract attention, and stir up chaos."

"Chen Deng, there is no need to delay production. We will continue to produce as originally planned. We will send more manpower to the smuggling route and recall Chen Ping. I will arrange for the tamed muscle-level beasts to be included."

"Chen Xiang, use An Zi to cooperate with the smuggling team."

"Finally, Shu Ao, recruit 10,000 new soldiers and train them in two battalions."

"Everyone, don't worry, I will take action."

Chen Nuo said so.

A reassurance for everyone.

Then everyone started to take action.

The Chen family, a small tree that has grown up vigorously, must also use its strength to show the world its family heritage.

However, the moment Chen Yong walked out, Chen Nuo called him back.

"I thought about it, you are going to get married soon, so let someone else take over this task."

"Ah? No, Brother Nuo, I still have some time to get married. Let's let the matchmakers prepare for it first. Besides, the bride's people haven't come over yet. Don't worry, let's do this..."

Finally, after pleading with him, Chen Nuo allowed him to come back at the end of the month to prepare for the marriage.

Watch the other person leave.

Chen Nuo shook his head helplessly.

Ning Hongye gently rubbed Chen Nuo's temples to relieve his fatigue. Although Chen Nuo was not tired, he still enjoyed the massage.

Wang Qingxuan next to him lit sandalwood, and a fragrance filled the air.

This time things happened a little suddenly. Chen Nuo was going to try to let the family fight for a while, which could be regarded as a training. In these troubled times, only by adapting to war can we have a strong foundation.

Anyway, with the clan leader as a guarantee, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Damn it, King Cheng, just wait!

…

Just when Chen Nuo gave the order.

Things in the north were also immediately communicated to the surrounding forces.

After all, this year, it would be too unprofessional not to put some intelligence personnel on the opposite side!

Many forces were shocked by this.

After all, Chen's smuggling industry was in full swing and had a great reputation. Unexpectedly, King Cheng took action immediately and sealed the other party directly, and also carried out subsequent suppression.

This is obviously trying to break the skin!

You know, the other side will definitely react.

If this happens, it will definitely have an impact on the surrounding areas!

For a time, all small and medium-sized forces started their own actions.

Even the Poison Valley and the Medicine King Valley are making moves.

Poison Valley.

The lonely man with a birthmark on his face looked astonished.

"how come……"

The poisonous grandmother next to her said directly, "Valley Master, now that King Cheng has taken action against Chen, Chen will not bear this tone. Something will happen next."

"Oh? Grandma Poison means there will be a war?"

"Not necessarily. After all, we and Yaowang Valley are separated between the two, but conflicts are bound to happen. Next, you just need to pay more attention to the two and you will know."

"Then what do you think we should do now?" Du Guban asked.

Du Lao said decisively, "Wait."

"wait?"

"I thought we were going to attack King Cheng together with the Chen family." He said with a dull expression.

"Originally, it stands to reason that King Cheng would take action against us Drinking Medicine King Valley first. In this case, it would be natural to recruit the Chen family to come as a helping hand. But now that King Cheng wants to take action against the Chen family, why don't we wait and see , sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight? "

A smile appeared on Grandma Du's old face.

But……

"No!"

A firm voice sounded, instantly refuting Grandma Du's words.

"What we want to do is not to be a mere wallflower. If the Chen family really becomes a king and causes a large-scale conflict, then I, Dugu, will definitely choose to advance and retreat with the Chen family."

Dugu's eyes were shining brightly.

"What? Why? Is there anything wrong with what I think?" Du Lao was deeply puzzled, but Duguban was the owner of the valley after all, so she did not question him directly, but asked why.

Du Guban shook his head, "I have specially collected information on these two people in the past few years."

"I found that Cheng Wang is ambitious, ambitious and capable, but he has a strong desire for control and a strong desire for revenge."

"As for Chen Nuo, he is very scheming and forbearing. He doesn't look like a young man at all. He is also a genius."

"Based on the analysis of their characters, I found that there is something wrong with Cheng Wang's actions. He is attacking the Chen family now. If we don't move, what should we do when he beats the Chen family to the point of decline? Just watch. Watching a boost disappear?"

"When the time comes, can I, Poison Valley, and an unreliable Medicine King Valley really be able to stop becoming a king?"

Dugu Bang said this.

Poisonous Grandma shook her head, "The snipe and the clam are fighting for the fisherman's profit. After he attacks the Chen family, he will also suffer damage. If it increases and decreases, what does it matter if the Chen family declines or not?"

"Do you think King Cheng is so stupid? After swallowing half of Liushui County and a third of Ouyue County, his strength expanded too fast, but there are too many impurities in it. Now even if it is just It’s not a loss to use this impurity to consume Chen.”

"It can both eliminate dissidents and consume the enemy. If we really sit back and ignore it, the enemy that is already difficult to fight will only become more difficult to fight, and we will lose our only chance to resist."

"Moreover, this may also be one of Cheng Wang's strategies to deceive us!"

"Let us act like fishermen and destroy unity."

"What a good plan."

The light of wisdom shines in his lonely eyes.
