Chapter 272 Businessman

Chen Lei looked at the letter in his hand and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This is really a joke."

Liu Yan had four sons, the eldest son Liu Fan, the second son Liu Dan, the third son Liu Mao, and the fourth son Liu Zhang.

Among them, Liu Fan, Liu Dan, and Liu Mao were all taken to Luoyang by him. Only Liu Zhang was young and stayed in Yizhou.

The other three were all taken to Luoyang by Liu Yan, where they were trained as princes and their safety was guaranteed, especially the third son, Liu Mao, who was deeply favored by Liu Yan. When Liu Yan acquired Yizhou Mu, Liu Mao was The only heir he brought to Yizhou together, this is enough to prove Liu Yan's love for Liu Mao.

But what makes people feel speechless is.

Although Liu Yan's death was not known, Liu Fan, Liu Dan, and Liu Mao had cut off their robes and openly fought for the throne of emperor in Luoyang, ignoring the opinions of the three ministers and nine ministers, and started fighting overtly and covertly.

written on the letter paper.

When this letter was sent out of Luoyang City, the second child, Liu Dan, had withdrawn from the battle for the throne.

It's not because Liu Dan is kind-hearted, nor is it because Liu Dan is not powerful enough. The three of them have similar roots in Luoyang, so this problem will not arise.

Liu Dan will withdraw.

It was entirely because during the battle for the throne, Liu Dan was caught by the third child and had one of his arms disabled.

Those who are deficient cannot be the son of heaven, and the son of heaven should be perfect.

Therefore, those who supported Liu Dan went straight to support the other two princes. Although it was a bit late, they would not be settled by the new emperor after autumn.

Therefore, Luoyang was in extreme chaos at this time, and Liu Yan's descendants did not care who assassinated Liu Yan.

All three people were blinded by the throne, so Luoyang, as the 'brain', went down directly. This is why all nine states in the country rose up, but Luoyang did not issue a single edict. (Starting from Xiapi Huailing County, Xuzhou, so +1)

He looked at He Yu beside him, handed over the letter, and said softly, "Look, Uncle He."

He Yu took the letter and looked at it for ten lines.

After reading the content on the letter paper in an instant, He Yu pursed her lips and sighed from the bottom of her heart, "The big man is finished!"

"Yes, the big man is finished." Chen Lei also sighed, "Now that there is no emperor in Luoyang, no one is in power, and if one or two states are taken away by this secret traitor, the Liu family will be in nameless, not to mention that this traitor is I want the big man to die and do things without a trace of leeway, just want to make chaos everywhere and support the soldiers!"

He Yu kept silent on this question, but turned around and asked, "Mr. Chen, how many people will be left in Guangling?"

Chen Lei hesitated for a while, "My master Hu Zhao doesn't like to fight, so he must stay in Guangling City. Now Xiao Qi and the others have to go with them. There may not be enough manpower in Guangling City."

"Wang Tie?"

"His technique is from the sea. Besides, Uncle Wang has not made a breakthrough in so many years. There is no hope for a martial arts master. If there is any danger, Uncle Wang cannot stop it."

"He added Hu Lao's mantra of Wen Dao, and he broke out that the martial arts master's combat power was invincible at that time."

Chen Lei hesitated for a while, but still shook his head.

Now that Liu Yan's incident happened, the rabbit died and the fox was sad. With two martial arts masters fighting, Chen Lei still felt that it was not safe enough.

Liu Yan became the emperor, and he definitely attached great importance to his own safety. In addition, he had been operating in Yizhou for many days, and the power of protection around him should have a martial arts master. Even so, he was assassinated.

He himself was not worried, since He Yu was with him, the assassination would never work.

The only problem is the family members in the mansion, it will be troublesome if they are targeted, and Hu Zhao is his teacher, not his servant.

It is impossible for a student to summon the teacher every day, right?
"Then leave a team of elite soldiers to guard the mansion?"

Chen Lei remained silent.

As the deputy commander of the army, Xu Xuan must not stay in Guangling!
He Yu wanted to guard him and ensure his safety, but it was impossible to stay in Guangling.

Huang Zhong's arrow skills are superb, and it is useful as an auxiliary one-to-one when attacking the city. It can quickly tear a hole for the Guangling soldiers to climb the city wall, so it is best for Huang Zhong to follow.

Li Qigang is a master of martial arts, now is the time when he needs to practice his hands the most, so it would be a pity to 'trap' him in Guangling.

And the army needs a master of literature and Taoism, so Tang Ruodong can't stay behind.

After thinking about it, Chen Lei sighed again, and said to himself, "The manpower is still not enough."

He Yu hesitated for a long time before saying, "Actually, there is another person"

His force is definitely enough, and it is also enough to defend Guangling.

"Who?" Chen Lei asked.

"Sun Chuan!"

"."

If it weren't for the fact that Xiang Shu's favorability towards him was the third level, and there was no danger of rebellion, to be honest, he would have taken He Yu to destroy the flowers, after all, how could he let others sleep peacefully?

He Yu was still thinking, "Sun Chuan's master seems to have an idea for you, Mr. Chen. Why don't you sacrifice yourself and take him over, Mr. Chen?"

The moment he finished speaking, he immediately realized something was wrong and changed his words, "No, that Xiang Shu has status after all. She should at least be given the status of an equal wife."

If Xiang Shu is only given the status of a concubine, it is not enough at all.

Chen Lei didn't answer, but nodded perfunctorily, "Let's talk about it when we get back to Yangzhou. We can't wait for a while!"

Then he stood up, looking at the elite soldiers of Guangling who had put on their armor and put them in order, his heart was filled with ambition.

I am Chen Lei and Chen Qingyuan.

Why not fight for the world?
He turned his head and said, "Where is the messenger?"

A middle-aged man with a serious horse face walked out, "The subordinate is here!"

Chen Lei looked straight at the messenger and said, "There are three things that need you to do."

"Prefect, please tell me!"

"The first thing: You take my handwriting and go to the 'Pozijun' to recruit [-] high-ranking ones, and join Wang Tie and others to defend the mansion and protect the safety of the family!"

There are not many people in the PoZi Army, but they are all the best among the elites, so Chen Lei selected them from the PoZi Army.

"The second thing: you go and tell my mother, let her start looking for a credible buddy, go to a rouge shop in the south of the city called 'Dahan No. At the end of the day, if you want to form a good relationship with my family, you can make it happen."

"The third thing is, after the whole army is ready, I will go to Yangzhou with [-] Guangling soldiers first. You go and make an agreement with Yang Hao and Zang Hong. Li Qi took the lead, Chen Lin supervised, Chen Lin's opinion is the most important thing, and then they will catch up slowly and then distribute."

"Can you do it?"

The horse-faced herald's face was serious, "You can issue a military order!"

"This is a big matter and must be handled well."

"promise!"

Chen Lei looked at the distance from a bird's-eye view, and said softly, "Then let's go."

The horse-faced messenger accepted the promise, received Chen Lei's handwritten letter, and rushed to the army to look for Yang Mei and Zang Hong.

Wait for the herald to drift away.

Chen Lei looked at Huang Zhong who was at the side, "Uncle Huang, you have been with me for so long and have never led an army. Now I want you to lead five thousand soldiers, is that okay?"

Huang Zhong's face was instantly solemn, "I will live up to Master Chen's expectations!"

Chen Lei hummed, stood up and looked forward, seeing that the weather was slightly unfavorable, and it seemed that it was going to rain, so he gave the order to start the journey.

I want to take advantage of the fact that it’s not raining and go to Yangzhou more often.

But there are unforeseen circumstances.

Chen Lei had only walked forty miles when it began to rain heavily. Chen Lei had no choice but to order the soldiers to find a place with higher ground and set up camp temporarily to avoid the rain.

Otherwise, catching wind and cold in this era is a big problem, and if you don't say it, you will lose your life.

It rained for five full hours, and when it stopped raining, the sky had already gradually darkened.

Chen Lei gave the order and the whole army accelerated its advance.

This place is only more than 30 miles away from the next county seat, so bear with it a little bit, and it is better to go to Bianjun County in Yangzhou to 'stay overnight', at least you don't have to endure the torture caused by the wet ground.

There were no complaints from the soldiers, and the explanation rushed forward with a solemn expression.

They quickly arrived at the edge of a small county in Jiujiang County, Yangzhou.

To Chen Lei's surprise, this small county town was also a stronghold of the rebels, so Chen Lei directly ordered that the city be broken down as a temporary stronghold.

No surprises.

This small county town was captured by Chen Lei without much effort, and Chen Lei did not leave any rebels inside.

Chen Lei went to the county office.

I saw Zhang Yixuan on the way and asked, "How are you, the survivors? Are the conditions of the men under my command okay?"

Zhang Yi There is no fear of life.”

Chen Lei nodded reassuringly, "That's good, and those injured soldiers should do their best to treat them."

Then he walked inside, and halfway through, Chen Lei suddenly thought of something and stopped again, saying, "Do you have any prescriptions for warming up your body? Herbal medicines are not in short supply. Write one for me!"

Zhang Yixuan thought for a while, then took out a pen and paper and wrote down several herbs and dosages.

Chen Lei took it over and took a look. Zhang Yixuan specially wrote the dosage for stewing in a big pot, and below it was specially attached the missing herbs for treating seriously injured people.

Chen Lei nodded solemnly, "I'll go shopping, and I'll trouble you later, Yimin."

It can only be said that fortunately the doctors in this life are not so professional in writing. Otherwise, Chen Lei might not be able to see what Zhang Yimin wrote based on the professional writing style in his previous life.

He found some gold and silver jewels from the county government, took out these jewels, found a local citizen, and asked him to take them to the local hospital.

When the people in the medical clinic saw Chen Lei coming, they were so frightened that they immediately closed the doors and windows, and kept tight. They thought that Chen Lei was similar to those traitors, or a group of bandits.

Chen Lei knocked on the door, "Old man, open the door, I'm here to do business with you!"

"."

"Quickly drive away, I am Chen Lei, the governor of Guangling County, and I will definitely not murder you!"

"."

"I'm just exchanging some basic medicinal materials with you. You believe me, really, you believe me!"

"."

Chen Lei's persuasion was fruitless, but Xu Xuan lazily continued to talk to them, whispering to Chen Lei and asking him to wait nearby.

Then Xu Xuan walked forward, squinting his eyes and threatened, "Listen well, I only give you two choices, either you open the door now and you do business with me, or we remove the door panel and I do business with you. I will wait for you to count 30, if there is no response, then I will open the door myself!"

There was no sound, and there was silence all around.

Xu Xuan compared his index finger with "One!"

"two!"

"three!"

"23!"

"24!"

Looking at the tightly closed doors and windows, Xu Xuan seemed to have suddenly lost interest and said directly, "Thirty, since you are not willing to do business with us, then we will do business with you!"

If it weren't for the pharmacy in this county, this one is the only one.

Chen Lei definitely took people away and went to the drug stores that were willing to cooperate with them to buy them, but there was no way. The old man who just led the way said that now Caicheng's Chinese medicinal materials were all monopolized by this family. If he wanted to obtain the medicinal materials, he had to Get the medicine from this week's pharmacy.

Just as the soldiers went to tear down the door, the door creaked open.

"Don't be impulsive, general, don't be impulsive, general!"

A middle-aged man with a pleasant smile walked out from inside. He stared at Chen Lei with a pair of small eyes. His two hands were still holding together and rubbing together, which gave Xu Xuan an extremely philistine feeling, especially on the right lip, which had a long The big mole made Xu Xuan dislike it even more.

Xu Xuan didn't say much and threw the prescription to the middle-aged man, "My Mr. Chen is here to sell medicine. Give me as much of the medicinal materials on this prescription as you have!"

The middle-aged man took a look, nodded and bowed and said, "Don't worry, general, these medicinal materials must be kept on hand. There are quite a few in the shop. Wait a moment, general, and the villain will go get them for you, general."

Xu Xuan nodded, "Hurry up and get it."

The middle-aged man ordered his servants to bring a lot of medicinal materials from the list. Chen Lei, who had been silent all this time, also nodded in satisfaction, "Ziming, give it to him."

Xu Xuan nodded and waved his soldiers to take out the gold, silver and jewelry they had just found from the county government office.

"How much?"

The middle-aged man hastily refused, "It is an honor for a villain to do things for the general, how dare you covet the general's property!"

He saw with sharp eyes that one of the jade ruyis was given to the local county magistrate by him to celebrate his birthday, and now these people put the jade ruyi in front of him, so how dare he take it? Got a bowl-sized scar on your head?
When Chen Lei saw the eyes of the middle-aged man who were sometimes greedy and sometimes rational, he knew that the middle-aged man must have misunderstood them, thinking that they were also the kind of traitors who would kill without blinking an eye.

Chen Lei smiled and explained, "I am Chen Lei, the prefect of Guangling, and Chen Qingyuan. I am not a rebel who attacked the city before. Now I come to Yangzhou to beg for thieves. Including these medicinal materials, I also drive away the wind and cold for my soldiers. Yes, you don’t have to worry too much, I won’t be like those rebels, don’t worry.”

After he finished speaking, he estimated the value of these medicinal materials, and wanted to give them the equivalent property, and then left directly. If they didn't believe it, explaining to them would only get twice the result with half the effort.

But the moment he finished speaking, a young man jumped out from inside, and there were several servants behind him blocking him.

"Master, be impulsive!"

"Master, please endure the calm for a while and take a step back to open up the world!"

"Master, martial arts are used for self-defense, not fighting spirit!"

The boy didn't speak, but pushed away the middle-aged man who was blocking him, and looked at Chen Lei with piercing eyes, "Are you really Guangling prefect Chen Lei and Chen Qingyuan?"
