"Sir, do you have any feelings?"

Sima Yi was startled, and quickly turned around, and found Chen Chu sitting on the side with a smile on his face.

"I don't know that the lord is coming, please forgive me for the rudeness!" Sima Yi bowed to Chen Chu.

Chen Chu smiled and helped Sima Yi up, "Sir, don't be polite." I'm bothering Mr.

"Don't dare!"

Chen Chu stood up, walked to the filing cabinet, picked up a volume of archives casually, and said to Sima Yi: "I asked Mr. to read the materials in the archives first, can Mr. know my intentions?"

Sima Yi hurriedly bowed down and said: "The lord's great kindness to the subordinates can only be repaid by sacrificing his life below!"

Chen Chu smiled faintly, put the file back in its place, returned to his seat, and motioned for Sima Yi to sit down as well.

"Sir, do you have any thoughts on the policies implemented in the state and Guanzhong?"

Sima Yi immediately showed admiration, and said with his fists clenched: "The policy implemented by the lord in these two places is really unheard of, but combined with what he saw and heard in the countryside before, it is certain that this policy is very efficient!"

Chen Chu couldn't help but feel a little smug, because these policies were basically written by him, and more precisely, they should be formulated by Chen Chu with reference to the experience of later generations. Chen Chu was not surprised by Sima Yi's reaction, because he had already seen a similar reaction in Zhou Yu and others.

Sima Yi paused, then frowned slightly and said to Chen Chu: "Lord, although it is reasonable and effective in these two places, there is a problem!" "

Oh? Let's talk about it.

"The policies implemented by the lord are very beneficial to the common people and merchants, but to the nobles..."

Chen Chu smiled and laughed at himself: "So the scholars said from the beginning that I was a chaotic minister and thief!"

Sima Yi was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "My subordinates have no such intentions!"

Sima Yi's reaction surprised Chen Chu slightly, and Chen Chu couldn't help but compare him with Zhou Yu, Jia Xu and others, and Chen Chu found that Sima Yi was much more cautious compared to others.

Chen Chu smiled and helped Sima Yi up, "Why does Mr. need to be like this?" I have memorized everything that Mr. said! Letting

Sima Yi sit down, Chen Chu asked again, "What does Mr. think of the Western Regions?"

Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Chen Chu to suddenly ask about the Western Regions, but fortunately, he still knew something about the Western Regions.

If you just talk about the customs of the Western Regions according to the script, I am afraid that the main guild will look down on you. According to the policy of the lord, the lord pays the most attention to the actual interests, what kind of interests does the lord have in the Western Regions? Pregnant!

Sima Yi confidently clasped his fist at Chen Chu and saluted, and then said: "The dozens of countries in the Western Regions are very different from the customs of the Han people in my Central Plains, and they are also very different from the grassland tribes. However, we can benefit from this. "

Oh!" Chen Chu's eyes couldn't help but light up. "What do you think, sir?"

"Back then, when the Han Dynasty opened the Western Regions, trade to foreign countries thousands of miles away, and every time the caravan traveled, it could get dozens of times the benefits. But it is a pity that Emperor Wu opened the Western Regions only to find allies to deal with the Xiongnu, and did not pay attention to the great value contained in them. Later, due to the war, this trade route gradually fell into disuse. And now that the lord is in Xiliang, with hundreds of thousands of undefeated elites, we can completely reopen the Western Regions trade road!

Chen Chu gently tapped a few sides with his knuckles, and his eyes showed excitement.

"Good! You can say that again! Sima Yi really deserves to be Sima Yi! "

The lord has a good reputation!" Sima Yi hurriedly said humbly.

Chen Chu stood up and paced back and forth. After listening to Sima Yi's words, his heart to regain control of the Western Regions became even more eager! But it is a pity that now the Northern Army has no way to divide its forces to march into the Western Regions.

Chen Chu sighed and said, "It's a pity that our army is currently limited in strength, and there is no way to enter the Western Regions!"

Sima Yi nodded and said, "What the lord said is extremely true. However, we can send envoys to the countries of the Western Regions, and at the same time reclaim land at Yumen Pass, so as to prepare for our army's march into the Western Regions in the future! "

Hmm!" Chen Chu nodded appreciatively.

Turning his head to look at Sima Yi, he asked, "Then who do you think is appropriate to send to the Western Regions?"

Sima Yi bowed down without hesitation: "I am willing to go to the Western Regions."

Chen Chu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Sima Yi to recommend himself, it was not an easy errand to go to the Western Regions, and his life might be in danger.

Chen Chu couldn't help but hesitate, he didn't want Sima Yi, a rare all-rounder, to take risks.

Seeing Chen Chu's hesitation, Sima Yi thought that Chen Chu was worried that he would not do a good job, so he said solemnly: "I am willing to make a military order!" If there is a trust from the lord, he is willing to die!

Chen Chu picked up Sima Yi and said, "Mr. misunderstood!" I'm not worried that my husband will not do a good job, but I am worried about his safety! Chen Chu's expression was not contrived at all.

Sima Yi couldn't help but be moved in his heart, "Lord! Then he bowed down and said, "I beg the lord to allow me to go to the Western Regions!" Sima Yi's eyes were resolute.

Chen Chu couldn't help sighing, helped Sima Yi up, held Sima Yi's fist, patted it, and said helplessly: "It's okay!" This matter will be entrusted to the gentleman!

Sima Yi immediately showed joy, "Thank you, lord!"

Chen Chu smiled, and then said with a pale face: "Remember, everything is about personal safety!" After

a pause, he said, "At that time, I will send Jiang Tai to lead a thousand iron wall guards as your subordinates." "

Thank you, Lord!"

At this time, a servant walked in with a meal, and found that Chen Chu was also there, so he hurriedly bowed down and said, "The villain greets the lord." "

No need to be polite, get up."

Chen Chu saw the food in the servant's hand, looked at the sky again, and said with a little surprise: "It's noon so soon!" Thinking

of something, he said to Sima Yi: "Don't eat here today!" Come with me to the backyard for a meal!

Sima Yidun felt flattered, and hurriedly said with a frightened face: "How dare you make a mistake in the future?"

Chen Chu couldn't help but pull Sima Yi's arm and walked out, saying as he walked: "What is the time not to make the time!" Just one meal!

At noon that day, Chen Chu's interest was very high, while Sima Yi ate a Chinese meal with trepidation.

Xu Yu returned to Luoyang five days later, and he brought good news to Yuan Shao.

"My lord, the general will raise 400,000 troops out of Huguan in the near future to attack Yanzhou in the direction of Yecheng!" Xu You reported to Yuan Shao, who was sitting on the main seat, excitedly.

Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this, stood up, and said urgently: "Really?

Xu You solemnly took out the holy decree given to him by Chen Chu from his arms, and presented it to Yuan Shao with both hands.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly took a closer look. Yuan Shao's expression was first surprised, then excited, and finally excited.

The judge on the side looked at Yuan Shao nervously, he was really a little worried.

After a while, Yuan Shao closed the holy decree, and said to everyone in the hall with bright eyes: "What the general said is right, Cao Cao rebelled against the principles of heaven and raised troops in vain, how can we sit idly by?" The

judge was shocked, and hurriedly went out and said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, don't fall for Chen Chu's tricks!" Yuan

Shao was on the rise, but the trial came to pour cold water, and Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel unhappy.

At this time, Xu You said: "Trial, what do you mean by this?" Do you think that the lord is so easy to fall for tricks? Hearing

this, Yuan Shao's face became even more ugly. Xu You's words made Yuan Shao, who had always been arrogant, hate the trial even more.

This person is talented, but his head is a little stupid, and he is still arguing with Xu You.

Yuan Shao's face became more and more ugly, and finally shouted: "Enough! Judging you is so rude! Before

he could understand it, he still clenched his fists with a sad face and said, "My lord! Don't..."

"Shut up! Come on, beat this impudent guy out of my stick! Several

of the soldiers immediately came in with sticks, and without saying a word, they were beaten violently, and the judges were stumbled out of the hall.

Xu You and Guo Tu had gloating smiles on their faces, but the smiles were fleeting.

The trial was kicked out, and Yuan Shao was still panting for breath.

At this time, Guo Tu stepped forward and said, "The lord doesn't need to be sad about such villains!"

Yuan Shao nodded, then glanced at everyone in the hall, and said, "Just now Ziyuan brought His Majesty's holy decree, and His Majesty named me prime minister in the holy decree." The

civil and military officers in the hall couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, this matter was a bit unexpected by everyone. Xu You glanced at everyone, and was the first to bow to Yuan Shao: "The lord is loyal to the country, and he deserves to be named prime minister!"

Everyone immediately reacted, and hurriedly bowed to Yuan Shao like Xu Yu and praised him.

Yuan Shao laughed proudly, the unhappiness just now had been left behind by him.

Everyone got up, and then Yuan Shao asked: "I plan to send troops to Yanzhou with the general, what do you think?"

Everyone exchanged a look, and then clasped their fists together and said, "The lord is wise!" "。 The encounter of the trial is right in front of you, how can anyone dare to touch Yuan Shao's brows!

Yuan Shao saw that everyone was in favor of sending troops, and immediately ordered: "Order the three armies, prepare for battle, and stand by to go to battle!" "

All the generals agreed together.

Yuan Shao continued: "Ziyuan, Gongzhi, and the two of you will raise grain and grass for the army." "

Yes." Xu You and Guo Tu promised together.

Yuan Shao raised his head, looked ahead with blazing eyes, and said in a proud voice: "I want to raise an army of 400,000 to set foot in Yanzhou!" "

The whole Luoyang and Jizhou were in chaos, Yuan Shaojun's soldiers were robbing food everywhere, and many young and middle-aged people were captured by Yuan Shaojun's soldiers, Yuan Shaojun suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, and now he has to raise heavy troops to conquer Yanzhou, and a large amount of new blood is needed to replenish the army and use it as labor.

In these two states, it was not only the common people who suffered, but also some of the small scholars and merchant families who were ransacked. The robbery of food and goods is a trivial matter, many people were killed in the rebellion, and many women were raped, in a word, the people of Jizhou and Luoyang suffered.

Unable to bear it, many people fled to the surrounding prefectures and counties, and about a third of them fled to Bingzhou and Guanzhong under Chen Chu's control.

And many other people rose up and became kings of the mountains. And the Yellow Turban forces took the opportunity to resurgence in the area controlled by Yuan Shao.

Xuzhou.
