Chapter 1141: Chaos Begins in Chang'an

Wenpin hesitated, he was capable, so naturally he was unwilling to bury his ability.

But he also has concerns.

"Your Majesty is the hero of Emperor Wu, and there are countless talents. The grassroots are the children of the family, and they have intertwined relationships. I am afraid that they are not suitable for official career." Wen Pin said.

He is still very happy that Wenpin praised Zhang Yu as a hero like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but he is destined to surpass Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was so powerful that he killed foreign enemies one after another.

But he also impoverished an empire, and the successors immediately declined, and foreign enemies returned with a comeback.

Zhang Yu said: "At this time and at that time, I hated the family at the beginning because the family also hated me. There was a fundamental conflict between the two sides, but now the family is no different from other common people, and I will give the family a way out..."

To put it simply, today's aristocratic family has no way to make a comeback, and it is no longer able to shake this empire.

So even if Zhang Yu let the children of the aristocratic family be officials, that is, ordinary officials, it would not affect the overall situation.

What's more, those who can be absorbed by Zhang Yu must be united with Zhang Yu, otherwise they will be fired at any time.

Wenpin was not only worried about that, but also worried that once he became an official, he would be against other aristocratic families and might be ostracized.

"Well, it's okay if Caomin is alone, it's just a family matter, and Caomin can't settle it with one word." Wenpin said helplessly.

Zhang Yu was not from an aristocratic family, so he didn't know much about the psychology of the aristocratic family, but when Wenpin talked about it, he probably understood Wenpin's worries.

At this time, Zhang Yu had a lot of talents under his command, so he didn't need to force him, but since he came to visit, facing a talent, he naturally couldn't just give up easily.

"Mr. Wen, the situation is vast and mighty. Don't stick to the past. The world has changed now." Zhang Yu persuaded again.

Wenpin didn't answer and was lost in thought.

"Mr. Wen is interrupting. I really hope that Mr. Wen can come to help me. Mr. Wen can come to me at any time. I will leave today. Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan and Mr. Shui Jing are all willing to work in Jingzhou Academy. The world will change. .”

Zhang Yu left after finishing speaking. The last words were not threats. With Zhang Yu's current power, there was no need to threaten at all. Even if Wenpin couldn't come, he didn't take it seriously.

The last is persuasion,

Tell him, you can't keep the old thinking, you should change it.

After Zhang Yu left, Wenpin fell into deep thought.

Today, the aristocratic family has indeed declined, but they are still living well.

Wenpin was very entangled and it was difficult to make a decision.

But he has wavered.

Wenpin's refusal to agree did not affect Zhang Yu. On the way back, he was thinking about whom to find.

He has almost won the hearts of the people in Jingzhou, and the people all support him. As for those intellectuals and aristocratic families, whether they support him or not actually has no great influence on Zhang Yu.

After Zhang Yu went back, Wen Pin immediately summoned the family members to come over to discuss matters, and it was too big at this time.

After Zhang Yu went back, he collected information from all parties.

He went to visit some people. There were many famous people in Jingzhou. Zhang Yu showed respect for them, so many famous people joined him.

No one can stop the general trend, they are ignorant, and Zhang Yu will not be like the others, needing to invite him three times and four times.

After asking for it once, if you don't come and pull it down, Zhang Yu has plenty of people who can use it.

More than ten days have passed, and Zhang Liao's 300,000 troops have surrounded Wancheng.

This Cao Ang knew that the scattered troops would definitely be defeated one by one, and there was no way for the soldiers and horses to retreat.

Therefore, he gathered all the troops in Nanyang.

All other cities in Nanyang were abandoned.

It is reasonable for them to concentrate on defending Wancheng.

After Zhang Liao arrived, he began to set up camps on all sides. Wancheng could not be easily taken down, so he had to be prepared for a long-term battle.

In fact, Zhang Liao can also attack fiercely, but this time the attack on Cao Cao is an overall strategy, not a battlefield.

What Zhang Liao had to do was that none of Cao Ang's troops could run away.

In this way, other battlefields can go smoothly. If Cao Ang runs away, abandons one place and sneak attack other places, there will be great hidden dangers.

Zhang Liao built a strong camp and surrounded them.

It's a big strategy, one that can be done once and for all.

"General Zhang, several camps have been built." A deputy came to report.

Zhang Liao has been patrolling the barracks for the past few days, and several generals also control a city gate.

Zhang Liao nodded, and then said: "The siege equipment can be built well."

"General, a batch has already been built, which is enough for a while, and the craftsmen are still continuing to build it to ensure that it is enough for use." The deputy general reported.

In the Zhang Yu Army, a good tradition has now been formed, that is, the deputy generals of each army are generally educated, and then have a short or long-term military academy career, or have served as a middle- and lower-level general for two years.

There are a large number of lieutenants in each army, let them handle various things and cultivate their abilities.

This system is very good. These generals are capable and knowledgeable.

Let them be in a high position, assist the general, broaden their horizons, and learn a lot.

"Tonight, discuss matters in the big tent, and go to inform the generals."

Everything is ready, Zhang Liao wants to launch an attack as soon as possible.

Zhang Yu went to Jingzhou, but he didn't lead the army himself, in order to give them the credit.

In Wancheng, when Cao Ang received the news of Cao Ren's defeat and death, he knew what it was like now.

Once Xiangyang falls, the whole Luoyang will be very dangerous.

And it's extremely dangerous.

Fighting from Nanyang can also reach Luoyang, and from Jizhou in the north, crossing the Yellow River can also reach Luoyang. The key is that Hulao Pass is not very stable yet.

Otherwise, when Dong Zhuo was at the time, Hulao Pass was still there, but he was already preparing to evacuate Luoyang.

Wancheng is about to go to war. Although Zhang Yu didn't go to the battlefield in person, he has been paying attention.

"It's time to launch an intelligence war, and this time it must start from Chang'an."

Chang'an, Cao Cao's rear area.

He now has only such a depth to retreat.

In Chang'an City, although there is no threat from the enemy at this time, this Chang'an City is also like the front line.

In a short period of time, the price of food in Chang'an City skyrocketed.

Major businesses closed their doors directly, and a small number of them opened their doors to sell grain, and the price of grain was also very high.

It's very simple, these merchants are no longer optimistic about Cao Cao.

Millions of troops are pressing down on the border, and the general Cao Ren has already died in battle.

Zhang Yu owns several times their territory and several times their population.

Even if Zhang Yu loses a million troops, he can recover quickly, while Cao Cao dies less.

There is no way to fight this battle.

All major businesses are waiting and watching, and they even began to prepare to retreat.

The city of Chang'an was very unstable, and all the aristocratic families were filled with pessimism.

Many people have already begun to bury their family properties, and the house prices and land prices in Chang'an have plummeted. These aristocratic families are afraid of being confiscated by Zhang Yu, so they sell them one after another.
