Chapter 785

Xie Changling actually has such high prestige and ability in the army. Why hasn't he heard of it?

Chen Guanlou was dubious.

Chen Guanxu is worthy of being a disciple of the Hou family, and he is very clear about the secrets here.

He slowly explained: "Brother Lou, you know that the Xie family is not only a powerful family in the world, but also the leader of the wealthy families in the south. Now that Xie Gechen is taking the lead to fight against the rebel King Chu, the wealthy families in the south have to obey Xie Gechen's call whether they are willing or not. Money contributes money and power contributes.

With the appeal of the Xie family and the personal supervision of the battle by the Minister of War, if this battle cannot be won, the Xie family will be in danger. For no other reason than for the fate of the Xie family, Xie Gechen must do his best to promote this victory! Even if he resorts to some shady tricks and puts his personal reputation and family reputation on the line, he will not hesitate to do so! Therefore, I say that in this battle, even if a fool comes, it can still produce a pretty good result. "

Chen Guanlou was stunned when he heard this.

After a while, he said: "No wonder the butler values ​​you. Not only do you know the intricate relationships between nobles, but you are also well versed in the wealthy families of the time. So, in this battle, the Xie family has bet everything? Is that so?"

Chen Guanxu said humbly: "Brother Lou is ridiculous! I only know a little about it through my ears and eyes. Is it necessary for the Xie family to risk everything? In my opinion, of course it is, it is very necessary. If the expansion of the rebel King Chu is not curbed, , the next step, King Chu will attack the Xie family's home base, the core of the Xie family.

In any case, the Xie family must not abandon the foundation of their ancestors' fortune. Once it is lost, it will mean that they will lose their position as the leader of the wealthy family and the family's right to speak. Xie Gechen's career will also be hindered. Therefore, the Xie family must risk everything to stop King Chu's attack.

And the Xie family has a great chance of winning. The food and grass item alone, with the appeal of the Xie family, is enough to allocate the imperial court's annual income in a short period of time! With the Xie family as his arms and full support, His Majesty's confidence has greatly increased. As expected, this battle is already stable! "

How rich!

Only when their vital interests are involved, will this group of aristocratic families be willing to show sincerity and try their best to fight.

The imperial court and the King of Chu had been fighting for so many years. If the Xie family had been willing to show such courage from the beginning, the King of Chu would have become a scum long ago, and the grass on his grave would have been as high as two people.

This group of aristocratic families is really hard to describe!

"What about the Hou Mansion? What is the position of the Hou Mansion? Support or oppose it?"

"The Hou Mansion naturally supports it." Chen Guanxu said matter-of-factly.

"Why is this? I thought it would be more beneficial to the great master if the north and the south fought together!" Chen Guanlou didn't quite understand. It stands to reason that the more chaos there is, the more opportunities there will be.

"On the surface it looks like this. However, if you look closely, you will find that with frequent tax increases in the past two years, civil unrest has decreased."

After this reminder, Chen Guanlou began to think about it.

It's really strange that when taxes are raised, civil unrest decreases.

That's because the people who couldn't survive turned to the bandits. The bandit was bribed by the rebel bandits again and became an informant. There seems to be no chaos among the people, but in fact there is a large loss of civilians, transporting personnel and artillery fire to the enemy.

Right now, it’s time to break this balance.

The imperial court hopes that the people will be in chaos, but it also does not want the chaotic people to take refuge in the rebels and increase the strength of the rebels.

The civil unrest was brought to an end by the military power of the imperial court. Mere civil unrest is nothing to worry about.

The most important thing is the rebels, especially the rebels who have become the climate. Once the other party proclaims himself king and emperor, it will be terrible and the world will fall apart.

People have long legs and can vote with their feet to choose the soil suitable for survival. This is ten times a hundred times more serious than civil unrest. When all the cattle and horses are gone, who will the court turn to to collect taxes and distribute taxes?

"Actually, the more chaotic the people are, the more opportunities there are. Don't worry about whether the civil unrest can set off a wave or whether it can achieve something. The war cannot be limited to one place. Even if the battle ends in a white field, other places will not be affected."

When Chen Guanlou heard this, he immediately laughed.

"You people are really afraid that the world will not be in chaos!"

"No! We also hope for peace in the world. However, the fact is that there is no peace in the world. King Chu actually has a great chance, but he has been unwilling to proclaim himself emperor, which makes people a little anxious!"

"He dares to proclaim himself emperor? He dares to proclaim himself emperor in his little territory? He is not afraid that the court will kill him." Chen Guanlou couldn't believe it. How dare these people think that they secretly conspired to proclaim the emperor of Chu.

Fortunately, the King of Chu was still clear-headed and was not so arrogant that he proclaimed himself emperor.

"Only by proclaiming yourself emperor can you ennoble meritorious ministers and unite people's hearts."

"He has already proclaimed himself king, so why should he proclaim himself emperor? It's too urgent."

"It's different! As the saying goes, a teacher has a reputation! The king is the king of Daqian. The emperor is the new empire."

"Even if he becomes emperor, he is still a descendant of Taizu Daqian, and the world will still belong to the Song family."

"So I feel it's a pity. If his surname was not Song, he might be able to unite people's hearts more."

Chen Guanlou asked curiously, "Are you looking forward to fighting and going to the battlefield?"

"To be honest, brother Lou, my ambition since childhood has been to join the army, to be a general, to command thousands of troops, and to take the enemy's head among ten thousand people. It's a pity..."

"Even if your martial arts skills are mediocre, you can still join the army! To be a general, you don't have to be strong in martial arts." Chen Guanlou didn't quite understand.

Chen Guanxu shook his head repeatedly, "Brother Lou doesn't know much about the current situation in the military camp. If you want to be promoted, even a small sixth-grade general must be a warrior. In the past, there may have been ordinary people serving as generals. In recent decades, They are basically extinct. The military camp respects the strong, and if ordinary people want to hold important positions as generals, the people below will not accept it, and their heads may be cut off in the middle of the night. "

"Is it so serious? Warriors are only good at fighting alone, which does not mean they can command thousands of troops."

"That's right. The master is disabled, but he took command twice and made the Northwest soldiers obedient. But how many people in the world can have the master's ability? In the final analysis, if ordinary people want to make a difference, they need prestige, qualifications and martial arts. The master is disabled, but he is surrounded by masters, and everyone obeys him. Who dares not to obey him?"

Chen Guanlou: ...

These days, there are not many opportunities left for ordinary people.

It's still comfortable in the Tianlao, and it doesn't pick on background. As long as there is a way, anyone can come.

"Drink tea, drink tea!"

He adjusted his mood, invited the other party to drink tea, or chat about love, which is more suitable for him.

This world is rotten, but if someone else sits on the throne, it may not be better than it is now. The nature of people is the same, selfish! Maybe it's good in the early stage, but it will be corrupted in the later stage, all the same.

The conclusion is just one: don't expect anything from anyone, especially those who sit on the throne. Don't treat them as normal people. They are just a bunch of perverts!

Expectations from people will only lead to disappointment.

Expectations from the system will give opportunities for improvement.
