Chapter 827 Yizhou Has Changed

Chengdu city.

At this time, everything in the city seems to have returned to normal. The damage caused by the war in the city has begun to recover.

But everyone knows that Yizhou has begun to change.

Yizhou Mu Liuyan issued an edict of guilt, a wise man for a lifetime, mourning for a dynasty, and Yizhou Mufu Yayou Changshi, Mujing, who ranks first-class in the current imperial court, rises rapidly. Feasting officials, there is a lot of traffic in front of the door.

People tend to seek good luck and avoid evil. The rising Mujing will soon become the leader of a party and quickly expand his influence in the state pastoral mansion. The master is Huang Quan, don't drive Zhang Song, and the captain of Changshui Deng Xian, Yueqi school captain Liu Gui, etc. More than half of the officials have followed their lead.

Of course, Liu Yan has been in Yizhou for many years and has great influence. There are not many loyal people under his command. There are still a large group of people who are still loyal to him.

Therefore, the State Shepherd's Office quickly split into two factions.

Many people even suspected that this would be the root cause of the civil strife in Yizhou. For a while, there was more or less unease brewing in Yizhou.

But on the bright side, everyone maintained peace.

The news that Liu Yan asked his son Liu Zhang to worship Mujing as his father's assistant quickly spread, which made many people feel confused and couldn't see the current situation in the prefecture's government office.

It stands to reason that even if Liu Yan did not suppress Mu Jing, he would let him continue to expand his power.

However, he let Mu Jing become Liu Zhang's assistant father, and Mu Jing wanted a legitimate reason to seize power.

It may seem difficult to understand.

But for some people who guide the inside story, it is not difficult to understand, such as Dong Fu, he is very clear, Liu Yaneng did this step, and why, this is really bearing the burden of humiliation.

These peaceful days did not last long, and soon the news from the front line broke the tranquility of Chengdu.

"The entire Dongzhou Army surrendered to the Mu Army?"

"Why?"

"Zhang Ren, is he greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"If he led the army back to help, how could the lord have fallen to this point!"

This news alone can make the whole Chengdu boil.

Before that, many people still had hope for Liu Yan, because Liu Yan not only had unparalleled influence in Yizhou, but also had a strong military force. Can gain power.

But I didn't expect that Jingzhou, where the powerful Dongzhou army would be, suddenly surrendered to the whole Mu army. This action completely shattered many people's illusions and made them clearly understand the truth.

Yizhou is about to change.

"Zhang Ren is a tough-tempered person!"

When Mujing received the news, he said lightly.

"For him, such a choice is more difficult than death!" Hu Zhao heard the words and said in a low voice: "It seems that Liu Yan has put in a lot of effort to make him not only give up his life, but also his reputation! "

A general who dies on the battlefield can still have a heroic name and his name will be passed down in history, but if he surrenders, he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he will be infamous for thousands of years in the future.

There is a saying that living is harder than dying.

"Anyway, it's a good thing!"

Mu Jing breathed a sigh of relief: "After Zhang Ren is settled, basically there are not too many variables!"

Although he suppressed Chengdu.

But once Zhang Ren leads his army back smoothly, it will inevitably be another fierce battle. At that time, it will not only consume the strength of the Mu army, but also consume the strength of Yizhou internally. This will cause great trouble for him to sit in Yizhou in the future.

When Zhang Ren surrendered, the Dongzhou Army also surrendered. Not only did it not consume the strength of the Mu Army, but it also earned the strength of the Dongzhou Army.

"How will the Dongzhou Army deal with it?"

"Since the Dongzhou Army has surrendered, our mission in Jingzhou is complete!" Mu Jing thought for a while, although he couldn't bear it, but this is really not the time for him to start a war against Liu Biao. Even if Liu Biao's vitality is seriously injured now, he He also couldn't mobilize troops, because the environment he is facing now is internal and external troubles. If he wants to fight against the outside world, he must settle down. Only when Yizhou is stabilized can he go out.

"Pass my military order, all troops, withdraw from Jingzhou!"

Mu Jing gritted his teeth and said word by word.

At the beginning, the fight was so miserable, and the lives of many soldiers had already been lost in Jingzhou, the city was conquered, and the result was achieved with great difficulty. If you don't want it, you don't want it.

But he had to.

If you look at both ends, you must not take care of both ends.

Now, he wants to take down the Southwest with all his heart, manage the Southwest, and hoard more power for the future, instead of resorting to military action.

"Xiangyang is unwilling to withdraw!"

Hu Zhao pondered for a long time before telling Mu Jing the news.

"What do you mean?"

Mu Jing frowned.

"They are not reconciled!"

"Who can be willing!" Mu Jing said coldly: "But now we can't provoke Jingzhou. To provoke Jingzhou, we must attack with the main force, but Yizhou has not yet figured out how to attack. I don't want to fight to the death outside. When it was not possible, someone stabbed him in the abdomen!"

"They also know that the lord's choice is helpless!"

Hu Zhao said: "So they made a decision. Hou Qing and the others are going to break away from the commander-in-chief of the Marquis of Ming Dynasty. In the name of the rebels, they will link Xiangyang and Xinye Shucheng into a single line, and stand up as an independent county. When the time comes, Jingzhou Even if they don't come to our head, and our troops are looking down on them, they will not attack Xiangyang with all their strength. Of course, even so, they will definitely send troops to attack Xiangyang. The pressure facing Xiangyang is still great , and may even be slaughtered to death, it seems very risky, they have taken our Minghou Mansion out, their strength is unstoppable!"

"This is taking off your pants and farting, it's superfluous!" Mu Jing said with a wry smile.

"But it is undeniable that this is the best skin so far. With this skin, we have an explanation with Jingzhou. As for what Jingzhou thinks, that is their business. Anyway, it is impossible for us to get along with Jingzhou If we get along, we will call back sooner or later!"

Hu Zhao said.

"In this way, Hou Qing and the others will be in big trouble in the future!"

"For the success of the great cause, sacrifices are inevitable!" Hu Zhao said with a gloomy gaze, "Hou Qing has a fearless heart, and is willing to contribute to the great cause of the master's unification of the country. This is my loyal minister of the Minghou Mansion!"

Mujing sighed in a low voice, and didn't say anything more, because he didn't know what to say, he could be shameless, but the Minghou Mansion couldn't, because the Minghou Mansion wanted to establish diplomatic relations with outsiders, and honesty was very important.

It was agreed that as long as Jingzhou sends troops to support and force the Dongzhou army into the cage of the Mu army, they will return the Wuling of Nanjun to Jingzhou.

Someone has to take the blame for this matter.

By doing this, Hou Qing is taking the blame for the Minghou Mansion, and his upcoming life will be very sad.

……

Time began to enter May, and Yizhou also entered the early summer season, and the hot weather began to ravage the land.

"My lord, the secret performance from Jiangzhou!"

"Pass it up!"

Mu Jing put down his pen, and said indifferently to Jingwu Si Miwei who was in front of the case.

"promise!"

After Jing Wusi's secret guard passed the letter up, he left quietly.

Mu Jing opened the secret letter, read it again, his face was not very good, he frowned slightly, he thought for a while, and said: "Zhuge, go to the side and call Kong Ming!"

"promise!"

Zhuge Xuan stood up and took the order to go. He quickly invited Hu Zhao from various courtyards.

"Xi Zhicai's secret letter, read it for yourself!"

"Yan Yan is only willing to surrender when he sees you, otherwise he would rather die in battle than attack Jiangzhou City!" Hu Zhao's brows condensed into a plain word: "What does he mean by threatening, or want to negotiate terms? "

"Zhang Renhui surrendered obediently, more because of his loyalty to Liu Yan, but Yan Yan is different!" Mu Jing thought for a while and said: "He may not have great ambitions, but he pays more attention to life and death! "

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Go!"

"Leaving Chengdu now, you have thought about the consequences!"

"Think about it!"

Mu Jing stood up, flicked his sleeves, stared at the sunlight outside, and said: "Leaving at this time may not be a bad thing, it may be a good thing, it will directly crush people to death, and the disasters left behind It’s very big, we have to give them room to play, and let Liu Yan and I ease the relationship!”

"I still think leaving at this time will change the situation!"

"You're worried that Liu Yan will change his mind!" Mu Jing knew what Hu Zhao was thinking, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I'm going to Jiangzhou this time, and I'm going to take Liu Zhang with me!"

"Will Liu Yan agree?"

"I think he will!" Mu Jing smiled: "Let Liu Zhang follow me at this time, it's safer, he is such a calculating person, he should be able to understand what is good for Liu Zhang!"

"What if he doesn't want to?"

"That means that he is still not reconciled!" Mu Jing's eyes were dim, with a murderous intent: "Then I'm sorry, Chengdu City, I'm afraid blood will flow like a river!"

The game of chess between them has reached the final stage.

Mujing is winning.

Liu Yan might have had two chances to counterattack before, but now, he doesn't even have the remaining two points, because Zhang Ren has already surrendered, and without the Dongzhou Army, it is impossible for him to do anything.

………………

State Shepherd's Mansion, in the lobby.

"Long Tu is going south?" Liu Yan is getting old very quickly. When his energy and spirit are broken overnight, his life is also disappearing. In just over a month, even if he is taken care of by a doctor, he cannot escape his body. The disaster of illness, every day he lived, seemed to be struggling.

"The prefect of Berkshire and the captain of Berkshire had a conflict. The captain of Berkshire, Xi Zhicai, was recommended by a certain family. Someone has the responsibility to mediate this matter, so please go to Jiangzhou in person!" Mu Jing handed his hands, The etiquette is sufficient, now Liu Yan in the hall is still the state shepherd, his pastoral scene is only the right long history, and he can't leave anyone with the slightest criticism, he continued: "And this matter will definitely endanger the safety of Yizhou, only by one person, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stabilize the situation, so I want to respectfully ask the young master to come forward!"

"So you want Zhang'er to accompany you to Jiangzhou!"

Liu Yan smiled bitterly, he knew that Mu Jing would not leave easily, he was holding Liu Zhang south, so that he had no way out.

"My lord, please allow me!"

Mu Jing knelt down and kowtowed in salute.

"That's it!"

Liu Yan said in a deep voice: "It's time for Zhang'er to see the world, and I will entrust him to Longtu in the future!"

"My lord, don't worry, I will keep the young master safe!"

Mu Jing said in a deep voice.

He didn't say that he would guarantee Liu Zhang's ambitions for power, but expressed his intention with the word Wuyang. He was telling Liu Yan that he didn't mean to kill them all.

"It's work!"

Liu Yan said angrily.

…………

The next day, Mu Jing led the Zhanhu Battalion to the south, leaving Shenlang Battalion and Yizhou Army Battalion in Chengdu to confront Pang Xi's high-ranking troops.

On May [-]th, Mu Jing arrived in Jiangzhou City.

Seeing this city here, his mind is right. In the future, the center of Yizhou may not necessarily be located in Chengdu, but Jiangzhou.

To govern Yizhou, the key is to balance all forces. This is not Hanzhong. At least for now, he doesn't have the ability to do everything in one pot. Everything has to be done step by step.

"Lord!"

Xi Zhi came out of the city to meet him.

"Gan Ning greets the lord!"

He was accompanied by a tiger general, the Jinfan bandit Gan Ning.

"Are you Gan Ning?" Mu Jing squinted his eyes, and looked at this seemingly gentle and jade-like young man, but he never thought that he would be the general of the Eastern Wu in the future.

"The end is right!"

"We've been friends for a long time, and this is the first time we've met!" Mu Jing took the initiative to talk to him: "Back then you were running really fast on the Han River!"

"The final general offended the lord, please punish the lord!"

Gan Ning's heart skipped a beat, he was afraid that Mu Jing would settle accounts after the fall.

"It's okay!"

Mu Jing waved his hand: "Those who don't know are not guilty, but now that you are under the banner of our Mujun, you must abide by military discipline. Jinfan is a thief, but our Mujun is a regular army, and military discipline is the first element. The soldiers under your command , if you are willing to leave, I will not force you, but if you are willing to stay, then you must abide by military discipline!"

Mu Jun also came from a bandit back then to where he is today, so he understands better that some bandits are not willing to become great weapons. The young bandits are not without combat effectiveness, but they do not have a little military discipline. Become a great cause.

The Jinfan thief under Gan Ning's command must have the same bad habits, so he took the initiative to beat Gan Ning.

"My lord, don't worry, I have strictly followed Captain Xi's plan, established a military law department in the army, rectified military discipline, and will never show mercy!" Gan Ning said.

"very good!"

Mu Jing was very satisfied with this meeting.

Next, I went to see Yan Yan.

The reason why Yan Yan wanted to see Mujing before surrendering was more because he hoped to get some promises from Mujing, which would make him more at ease.

So this meeting and negotiation did not have too many disturbances.

Yan Yan made seven demands.

Mujing rejected three points, and agreed to the remaining four points.

In this way, Yan Yan's surrender became a foregone conclusion. After three days, Yan Yan called out the military power, and Xi Zhicai went to collect the Bajun soldiers and horses in person.

……

On May [-]th, Jing Wusi rushed from Chengdu eight hundred miles, and a message came.

Liu Yan's back sores suddenly broke out for the third time. In the bleak pain, he stayed up all night. In the ugly morning, after all, he was exhausted and fell ill.

Facing the light of the setting sun, Mu Jing held the secret letter in his hand and sighed a little.

Liu Yan is dead after all.

A generation of heroes, who could not die on the battlefield, could not die vigorously, and could only die with gloom in the end. This is also a tragedy.

　Normal updates will resume tomorrow!
