I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 315 Gimmicks
"Your Majesty, do you really think what Chen Chan said can be done?"

When Liu Long led his troops to leave Hanzhong again and prepared to enter the four counties of Hexi, Yu Xu, who had been silent all the time, finally couldn't help it anymore.

He will no longer follow Liu Long to the northwest. He has received a new appointment.

He will replace Deng Cheng as the prefect of Hanzhong, and work with Ma Xu to pacify the bandits in Hanzhong. At the same time, he will patrol the land of Xichuan. While taking care of these wealthy families, he will also take away a certain Taoist priest directly.
The rest of the war will naturally be left to Liu Long.

However, at this time, Yu Xu couldn't help but stop Liu Long, who was about to leave, and asked him the doubts in his heart.

"I believe in His Majesty's abilities and decisions, but I believe even more that His Majesty's vision will definitely reveal that the things he, Chen Chan, said are not easily achievable.

What happened in Wudu is indeed shocking. If Wudu County can be restored to its original state, that would be quite impressive.

And it can indeed make Wudu County another granary for our great Han Dynasty, and provide a large amount of grain, grass and baggage for the future northwest battlefield.

There are even soldiers!

But the price can be said to be huge. Considering my current situation as a big man, if I have to spend so much money, silk, grain, grass and corvee labor,
Your Majesty, you don’t know how Qin fell! "

The words Yu Xu spoke at this time were indeed a bit stiff. They had discussed many times the issue of whether to tyrannize the Qin Dynasty or not.

Therefore, Yu Xu also knew that Liu Long had a deep understanding of the word "violent Qin".

Today, I directly brought this matter to the topic of violent Qin, which indeed made Liu Long stop all his actions immediately.

His face also became silent.

"You are promoted to Qingqing."

"Chen is here!"

"Do you think I am a fool?"

"Your Majesty is joking, I am not willing to think like this!" Yu Xu bowed again at this time, and then explained to Liu Long in front of him.

“I understand His Majesty’s good intentions, and I also know that if Wudu is left in such a state, it will probably make the situation in Wudu even more serious in the future.

It is not completely impossible that it will even affect the entire northwest in the future.

Today, Your Majesty's overall restoration of Wudu will not only bring great blessings to the people of Wudu, but will also reduce a lot of pressure in future wars in the northwest!
I know that it is not easy for Your Majesty, but I still want to persuade Your Majesty to think twice.

There is absolutely no need to rush into this matter.

This cost is really too great.

Although I have recovered somewhat over the years, my people's livelihood and heritage have gained some respite.

But if we continue to struggle like this."

"If we keep going on like this, I don't know if the Wudu Army can be restored to its original state, but my big man will definitely fall apart.

Do you want to talk about this? "

"Your Majesty can indeed see it."

"Of course I can see it clearly. If I can't understand this kind of thing, then I would really be a little too ashamed of the Queen Mother and the Tutor's teachings over the years.

Chen Chan wants to leave his name in the history book, but I don't want to go through any trouble.

If the repair of Wudu is finally successful by luck, then Chen Chan will at least have a name in history and will be enshrined in the future.

But if the people are crying out because of this incident, then I am really not far away from the Hunjun.

This kind of thing has only disadvantages but no advantages. I am not a fool.Do you think I can do it? "

"Since Your Majesty understands everything, why bother?"

"Why do you still agree?" Liu Long couldn't help laughing, "What do you think of Chen Chan?"

"An old man who is quite capable and very tough!" After hearing Liu Long's words, Yu Xu immediately gave Chen Chan an evaluation.

And this evaluation obviously made Liu Long very satisfied.

"What Shengqing said is right. Chen Chan is indeed like this. It is nonsense to say that he is old and useless.

But if we say he has great abilities, he is also a man of great authority!

It can also be seen from his evaluation that Chen Chan's background is not very good, and his character is upright. To be honest, he is a guy who doesn't know how to turn.

Under his rule, this wealthy family did not dare to be too presumptuous, which shows that he is quite capable.

But in recent years, he has been somewhat reckless in his actions. The common people and the Qiang and Hu people have not competed with him and are quite afraid of him.

But this does not mean that he can make the place rich.

Whether it was in Bajun, Yizhou, or in Hanzhong and Sanfu.

I didn't see his name in the memorial handed over by the censor, and I could see it even when I came to Hanzhong.

It's stable, but I don't see anything about the word "rich".

In addition, I also looked at the situation in Hanzhong.

When Chen Chan left Hanzhong, Cheng Xin was still alive. As the prince of Hanzhong, he was just talking about his prestige and exemplary spirit in this place.

I'm afraid he is still far inferior to Cheng Xin.

There is a saying that goes well: since the founding of the Wu Dynasty, the Confucian scholars have cultivated their careers and followed the plan. The prime ministers of the Han Dynasty have come out of Kunxiang. It can be seen that Hanzhong is also the same.

During the chaos in Hanzhong, the Qiang and Hu were afraid of Chen Chan not because they were worried that Chen Chang would wipe them out, but because they knew Chen Chan's reputation and knew that he was not afraid of death.

Therefore, the Qiang and Hu, who did not want to fight to the death, finally chose to retreat slowly, giving up the hopeless land of Hanzhong.

After that, Cheng Xin made an oath to Hanzhong together with 25 people including his old official crown brother Yan Zi, Li Rong, Jiang Ji, Chen Ba, Cao Lian, Gou Ju, and Liu Jing.

This group of Hanzhong officials and descendants directly recruited soldiers and horses to form the current Hanzhong elite, which blocked the Qiang and Hu for several years. In the end, it is really hard to find one or two of them who survived.

It can be seen that although Chen Chan has good abilities and means, when it comes to the ability to win over people and win back the hearts of the people, he is far inferior to Cheng Xin.

But fortunately, he has enough prestige and a good personality. I use him because he can help me.

You have to figure this out. "

Listening to Liu Long's words, Yu Xu couldn't help but change his expression, as if he finally understood.

"Your Majesty means to use Chen Chan."

"It's not about using him, it's just about getting what he needs." Liu Long chuckled directly, "He wants to leave his name in history and become a true celebrity in the world.

And I also want to find a reason for myself to keep the soldiers and horses in my hands, and at the same time, let Ren Shang and others relax their vigilance.

Only in this way can I continue to eradicate those Qiang and Hus, and then I can look for opportunities to send this front directly to the Western Regions! "
