Chapter 29 Double Happiness Comes to the Door

Okay, it's time to take a look at the situation on the side of Chen Can, the prefect of Jing Ke.

When talking about Chen Can, we must first mention Chen Can's father Chen Zhi. As the favorite minister of Liu Chan, the late lord of Shu Han, Chen Zhi is a person with a very complicated personality and historical evaluation. In addition, Chen Zhi is a recognized flattering villain in the Shu Han court. He catered and pleased Liu Chan without any limit, flattery and flattery. At the same time, he was in harmony with Huang Hao, a famous traitor of Shu Han, who controlled the government, manipulated power, and harmed loyal and kind. All kinds of treacherous behaviors can be said to be endless.

However, to the outside world, Chen Zhi was the only hawk among the civil servants of Shu Han, and the only important Shu Han official who firmly supported Jiang Wei's northern expedition in the late Shu Han Dynasty. In addition to providing logistical support for Jiang Wei's northern expedition, he also tried his best to reconcile the conflict between Jiang Wei and Huang Hao and suppress the voice of the surrender faction. Therefore, before he unfortunately passed away, Huang Hao not only had peace with Jiang Wei, but the surrender faction led by Qiao Zhou also could not cause any storm. It was definitely a solid backing for Jiang Wei's northern expedition and a firm supporter of the general.

So in general, Chen Zhi is both a treacherous and loyal minister, and he is also more like a capable minister who uses any means to do practical things.

Chen Can's style of conduct is quite similar to his father. As the eldest son of Liu Chan's favorite minister and the second generation of Shu Han officials, Chen Can could stay in Chengdu to enjoy a beautiful life of wealth and food, fighting cocks and horses. However, when the Shu Han court appointed him as the prefect of Guan Ke, Chen Can did not like Zhuge Liang's favorite Ma Su. He was afraid of the harsh conditions in the southern central region and refused to take up his post. He resolutely chose to bring his family to the place where the epidemic is everywhere. He took office with practical actions and proved that he was not a rich child who only knew how to spend money and drink.

Of course, this is also related to Chen Can's ambitious intention. As the Guannei Marquis personally named Liu Chan, Chen Can did not want to sleep on his father's credit. Being an important minister like his father was Chen Can's life goal.

Chen Can's ambition also greatly prompted him to make the choice to conceal the Wulian rebellion to Huo Yi. After receiving the news that Zhang Zhi refused to surrender to the Wei army, Chen Can was furious and immediately considered the impact of the rebellion in Jingke's territory. Even a remote county that did not fly dared to disobey his orders and refused to obey his leadership's command. If the matter was spread, what would Huo Yi think of him? What would Sima Zhao, the real power-based person in Cao Wei court, think of him? Do you think he is an incompetent person who is incompetent, and will he be reused in the future?

It was precisely because of this consequence that Chen Can decisively chose to temporarily block the news, intending to quickly quell the rebellion initiated by Zhang Zhi first, and then take Zhang Zhi, the mantis arm, as the chariot and the jumping clown who was shaking the tree, to Jianning to seek credit from Huo Yi, so that Huo Yi and the Cao Wei court knew how effective they were in their work and how decisive they were in their actions.

Of course, strictly speaking, Chen Can's decision is absolutely wrong. Among the seven counties of Jingke, the number is the most remote and poorest, and the population is also the sparse, and the money and grain are so small that it can only support the county soldiers of two garrisons. Chen Can doesn't even need to draw troops from other counties in Jingke to help. With the troops stationed in Qilan, the pitiful rebellion can be easily quelled. - According to common sense, this is indeed the case.

However, Chen Can soon realized that he was too careless and underestimated the enemy. On June 17th, when Su Ding fled back to Qilan with more than 200 defeated county soldiers and reported the news of the defeat of the county soldiers to Chen Can, Chen Can couldn't believe his ears and eyes. He slapped the table and yelled at Su Ding, "How is it possible? How many rebels are there, how many county soldiers have you brought? Even if you can't take Wu Lian City, you can't suffer such a big defeat, right? How did you lose in this battle? How did you lose?!"

Su Ding, who was behind someone, was very straightforward and unceremoniously shifted the responsibility for the defeat of the county soldiers to Wu Ma, the general who had no backing backing. He insisted that Wu Ma was secretly hiding his unfaithful intention and intends to join forces with Zhang Zhi to rebel to realize his ambitions. He cooperated with Wu Lian to defeat the Han army in the middle and outside to defeat the troops in the Liuke County. He also took out the letter Zhang Zhi wrote to Wu Ma as evidence, proving that all his defeat was caused by Wu Ma.

Chen Can was almost deceived by Su Ding who was behind him. Fortunately, Chen Can's close conscientious prefect Bo Zengkai was smart and secretly reminded Chen Can not listen to Su Ding's one-sided words. He also volunteered to go deep into the grassroots of the county soldiers to inquire about the situation. Part of the truth about Wu Lian's miserable defeat gradually emerged, allowing Chen Can to know some of the situation of Su Ding's rash siege to destroy his troops and revenge for his grudges. He also knew that Su Ding was responsible for this miserable defeat.

However, it is useless to know. Behind Su Ding is Yan Yu, the former right general of Shu Han. Yan Yu has a close relationship with the current Southern Central Emperor Huo Yi, and has also surrendered to Cao Wei with a large number of Shu troops. He heard that he is still well appreciated by Wei Guan, the current governor of Yizhou of Cao Wei, so Chen Can thought about it over and over again, but still did not hold Su Ding too responsible. He chose to demote Su Ding to Qu General and let him continue to command troops and make meritorious contributions.

At the same time, should we immediately report the truth to Huo Yi, who has been renamed the governor of the Nanzhong of Cao Wei, and ask him to mobilize the elite troops in the Nanzhong to help quell the rebellion? Or should we continue to use the power of Ke County itself to quell the rebellion? This difficult choice was also put in front of Chen Can.

The Lord Bo Zengkai suggested that Chen Can ask Huo Yi for help, but the reason was very simple. By understanding the facts from the defeated soldiers of the county, Zeng Kai had already grasped the exact situation of Wulian Han army's strength of more than a thousand people. He also knew that Zhang Zhi had a divine object called instant noodles in his hand. He was worried that even if Chen Can gathered all the forces of Jingke County, it would be difficult for him to quickly quell the Zhang Zhi's rebellion. On the contrary, it might lead to Zhang Zhi taking the opportunity to grow up and further threaten the safety of the entire territory of Jingke.

Liu Huan, another general of the Ke Qu who led his army to stay in Qilan, felt that there was no need to ask Huo Yi for help. The reason was also very simple. Wu Lian was too poor and too remote. Even if Zhang Zhi fled his land and expanded his army wildly, the money, food and military supplies would definitely not be supported for long. His strength was still hugely different from that of the entire county of Jingke. With the power of Jingke County alone, the rebellion could still be easily suppressed.

As for the issue of instant noodles, it is still a big question to mention whether the delicious and salty instant noodles really exist. Even if Zhang Zhi really has any instant noodles in his hands, how long can Wu Qian rebels eat it?

Fortunately, just like Zhang Zhi hoped, and as Xue Rang analyzed, at the critical moment, Chen Can considered his face and future issues, and was worried that if he asked Huo Yi for help, he would definitely lower the evaluation of Huo Yi and Cao Wei for him. Therefore, Chen Can also delayed making a decision. He just made plans for the future and went to the county of Jingke as soon as possible, and ordered the remaining five counties to draw troops to Qilan for help, and then hesitated on whether to ask Huo Yi for help.

As a confidant, Zeng Kai understood Chen Can's thoughts better. After seeing Chen Can's concerns, he found an opportunity to advise Chen Can alone: ​​"Prince, you can't hesitate anymore. Zhang Zhi's rebels are desperate to expand their military and prepare for war. Although he is destined to be a mantis armed and a chariot, the autumn harvest is imminent. If we cannot calm him down before the rice harvest in early August and let him temporarily solve the problem of food and grass, then it will definitely be more difficult and time-consuming to bring him to justice."

"So the best way is to quickly ask the Governor of the South Central Committee for help. If there are too many, we can ensure that we can easily take down Wu Lian and capture and kill Zhang Zhi's thief. This will indeed make Governor Huo have ideas, but it is better than us fighting alone and will not be able to fight alone, giving Zhang Zhi's more chances to survive. Then at that time, you, the prefect, will not be able to explain to Governor Huo and the court."

Chen Can was extremely shaken and hesitated for a long time, saying: "The journey from Qilan to Jianning is nearly 1,200 miles, and then from Qilan to Wulian is 350 miles. In order to quell such a small rebellion, Is it a bit of a big deal to let Governor Huo travel thousands of miles to participate in the war?"

"In order to prevent problems before they happen, my subordinates feel that it is necessary to make a big deal." Zeng Kai said: "Please don't forget that Wu Lian borders Jiaozhou in the south and Jingzhou in the east. Although it is a deserted place of malaria and epidemic, it will take at least a thousand miles to see the city. However, if the Eastern Wu really takes the opportunity to invade and get Wu Lian's money and food, the small disaster may still be expanded by Zhang Zhi's son."

Chen Can was even more shaken, but just when Zeng Kai almost persuaded Chen Can, the messenger sent by Zhang Zhi happened to come to Qilan with Zhang Zhi and Xue Rang's letters, and even came directly to the gate of the prefect's mansion to submit the letters.

In order to grasp the enemy situation of Wu Lian, Chen Can read the letters from Xue Rang and Zhang Zhi at the first time. First, after reading Xue Rang's letters, he finally truly grasped the actual details of the defeat of Wu Lian in the army. Chen Can was of course furious and yelled at the case: "Su Ding, it's a big deal for me! You, a common man, still have the face to shift the blame to Wu Ma. After a long time, it turned out that you, a common man, was as stupid as a pig and a cow. He was defeated by Zhang Zhi's child's plan of surrender and disagreement, which caused our army to be in chaos, and then this devastating defeat!"

After carefully reading Xue Rang's letter, Zeng Kai was also very regretful and said, "If Countymaster Xue did not lie, then the responsibility for this disastrous defeat was indeed Su Ding alone. He not only compensated half of our mobile troops, but also missed the best opportunity to quickly quell the Zhang Zhi rebellion!"

After angrily smashing the arrow in front of him to the ground, Chen Can opened Zhang Zhi's letter to watch. As a result, after seeing Zhang Zhi signing with blood to persuade him to revive the Han Dynasty, Chen Can was amused and scolded: "Corrupt scholars and nerds are simply foolish! I don't know how to hit the stone with my eggs and kill them, but I actually wanted to persuade me to follow you. I will take the soldiers of the Kyushi County to rebel and plot against you. It's simply a fool and whimsical!"

"Prefect Zhang Zhi'er advises you to raise an army and restore the Han Dynasty?"

Zeng Kai also listened directly. After asking for the letter, Zeng Kai couldn't help laughing. He was so surprised that Zhang Zhi had such a stupid and pedantic way that he tried to instigate his superiors? However, after laughing, Zeng Kai still saw some unusualness from Zhang Zhi's letter and hurriedly said to Chen Can: "Prince, Zhang Zhi's letter seems extremely pedantic, but in fact it hides the intention of showing weakness. It seems to be deliberately letting the prefect know that he is just a pedantic scholar, so please ask the prefect to observe clearly."

"Isn't this child a pedantic scholar?" Chen Can asked with a sneer: "Your Majesty has surrendered to Wei, and the general has also died for his country. He actually wanted to raise an army to restore the country with Wulian a remote mountain city. If it weren't for the extreme pedanticism, who could do such a stupid thing?"

Zeng Kai nodded and admitted that if Zhang Zhi had not been extremely stupid, he would never have done such a stupid thing as an egg hitting a stone. After Chen Can had a little thought, he finally made up his mind and said, "It's decided so. Take the time to gather the local army of our Jingke County. When all the troops arrive, the official will immediately lead the south to deal with this pedantic nerd."

"Prince, do you really not consider asking Governor Huo for help?" Zeng Kai asked quickly.

"Ask Governor Huo for help? Go and make a laugh?" Chen Can asked back angrily and said, "For such a pedantic nerd who was trapped in a chariot by a mantis arm, I will ask Governor Huo to send elite troops from the South Central to travel thousands of miles east to suppress the rebellion. You are not afraid of letting Governor Huo and Cuan Gu. Yang Su and the others laughed out loud? I can't afford to lose this face!"

"But the prefect, we may not be sure to quickly quell the rebellion initiated by Zhang Zhi's son?" Zeng Kai hurriedly reminded.

"How can you not be sure?" Chen Can asked back, and said hatefully: "Didn't you see it? We had sent eight towns of county soldiers to fight the rebellion south before. We could have easily quelled this rebellion, but it was Su Ding's perverted, trapped and fooled, who completely angered the rebel soldiers and forced them to fight to the death. This made Zhang Zhi, the nerd, lucky to win a victory. This official personally led the army south to quell the rebellion. As long as we comforted it, we could understand the benefits and disadvantages of the rebel soldiers. It is easier to quell this rebellion than to eat and drink water."

Zeng Kai originally wanted to persuade him a few more words, but Chen Can didn't listen at all. He just waved his hand and said, "No need to say anything. I have decided. I will only use our power to suppress the rebellion. I will not bother General Huo to send troops. You immediately write a reply for me to Zhang Zhi'er, urging him to surrender quickly and leave yourself a chance to survive. Otherwise, when I personally lead the army south to suppress the rebellion, he would not have time to regret it!"

Seeing that Chen Can had a determination, Zeng Kai had no choice but to write a reply to Zhang Zhi according to Chen Can's request, and persuaded Zhang Zhi to return quickly, stop his horse, and surrender to Cao Wei with Wu Lian Han army, and then handed it over to the Wu Lian County Temple staff sent by Zhang Zhi, and asked the Wu Lian County Temple staff to take the letter back and hand it over to Zhang Zhi.

…………

It was also coincidental that Chen Can decided to use only the power of Jingke County itself to quell the Wujian rebellion. It happened to be the 36th day when Zhang Zhi came to this era. It was also the day when Zhang Zhi missed two draw opportunities and obtained the tenth draw and replaced instant noodles assistance types after he missed two draw opportunities. This draw was also the last time that Zhang Zhi could get three days of instant noodles assistance for the same type. No matter what he drawed, he could only get free instant noodles assistance for one day.

In order to give himself a good luck, before this draw, Zhang Zhi took a shower and changed into clean clothes. He pretended to pray to Prime Minister Zhuge and General Jiang Wei's Heavenly Spirit, and then called out the cheating system and opened the lottery system tremblingly.

"I sincerely wish that the host will draw the braised beef noodles in Kang Shuaibo, and strongly hope that the host will draw the small and medium-sized boss's noodles. I hope that Kang Shuaibo's dazzling light will cover the whole body of the host for a long time! The small boss's noodles are crispy and delicious, and will always monopolize the host's life."

This is of course a wonderful blessing from Zhang Zhi when he was drawing. Zhang Zhi, who had long been accustomed to the style of rappers in the game, prayed again, begging for his luck to be better this time. Even if he was drawing a master of the head, he should not draw Kang Shuaibo or the head of the head. Then he carefully pressed the green button floating in front of him, and then closed his eyes and waited for the goddess of luck to judge him...

"Host, you are very creative. Living is your courage. Ugly is not your original intention. If it weren't for you, who would set off the beauty of the world?"

The vicious greeting of the cheating system suddenly appeared directly in Zhang Zhi's mind, and then he said in a constant whisper: "As a system with conscience, this system sincerely wishes the host to be infertile but full of children and grandchildren! You will never have seasoning bags to buy instant noodles, and there are mice in the bags to buy ingredients! The brain is wormed, and the bones are pussy! People like you, will definitely not survive two episodes in the TV series! You can't live on the battlefield for three minutes! You are shot by a little brother in a stray arrow and are hurt to death. You are stabbed through your shoulder blade and hung on the gate of the Wei army camp. The limbs are cut off by the iron knife in the ring, your eyes are blinded, your tongue is cut off, your adult stick is cut, and you put it in the jar and throw it into the toilet..."

"What's crazy about this girl? I've provoked her? Why did she scold her so badly?"

Zhang Zhi opened his eyes very strangely, but he just looked at the translucent screen in front of him. After seeing what kind of free instant noodles assistance he had won this time, Zhang Zhi immediately understood everything, and suddenly burst into laughter and laughed wildly, saying, "God opens his eyes! God opens his eyes! Good will be rewarded! Good people will be rewarded! System, on the 39th day, I won't smoke it anymore! I will receive four consecutive days, four consecutive days of free instant noodles assistance!"

"Shameless! Vulgar! Despicable! Dirty! Host, if you want a little more face, you will suck it again on the 39th day! Try it again!"

No matter how desperate the system yelled, it was useless. Zhang Zhi still laughed wildly and pressed the collection button hard, and received the free instant noodles assistance he drew today - Master Kong Suda Noodle Restaurant, mixed flavors! Bar Sweet Pork Bone, Private Braised Beef, Gold Medal Spicy Beef and Original Soup Clear Stewed Beef, all have four flavors!
