Mi Han

Chapter 381 Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, Chengdu is boiling
After getting a clever plan on how to deal with Mi Yang, many Yizhou gentry present gradually retreated.

In the end, only two of them remained in Qiao's secret room.

These two are Qiao Zhou and Li Chao.

Among them, Li Chao stayed behind spontaneously, which is enough to see that he and Qiao Yu still have some private things to talk about.

It's just that Qiao Zhou was left behind by Qiao Yu, which shows that Qiao Yu attaches great importance to Qiao Zhou.

Li Chao looked at the secret room where there were only three people left, and his last gaze focused on Qiao Zhou.

After coughing a few times, he asked, "It seems that you have decided to hand over the Qiao family to him in the future."

After coughing, Li Chao looked a little sluggish.

But his eyes are very divine.

Facing Li Chao's speculation, Qiao Yu raised the wine glass in his hand to take a sip, and replied calmly.

Under Qiao Yu's hmm, a flattered look appeared on Qiao Zhou's face.

He knew that Qiao Yu valued him very much, and he also knew that Qiao Yu's only son had died long ago, so he had to choose a successor from a side branch to succeed him as the patriarch.

But when he really knew that he was about to become the next patriarch of the Qiao Clan, Qiao Zhou still couldn't hide his shock and joy in his heart.

Seeing the look on Qiao Zhou's face, Li Chao showed some smiles.

I still remember the same expression on his face when he was about to take over the heavy responsibility of patriarch from his father.

At that time, he only thought that he would definitely lead the Guanghan Li family to a new level. At that time, he also felt that he would definitely contribute to the country with his own talents.

With the passage of more than ten years, the Li family of Guanghan has indeed become a first-class gentry in Yizhou under his leadership. Now, who knows the reputation of "Three Dragons of the Li family" in Yizhou?

But another ambition in his heart, under the transformation of reality, is getting farther and farther away from him.

Is there any scholar in the world who has not learned the eight characters of propriety, righteousness, honesty, loyalty, bravery, fairness and benevolence?

If he was more than ten years ago, he would definitely disdain to participate in today's secret meeting.

But more than ten years later, he has naturally become one of the leaders of the secret meeting.

The reason why he had this change was not that he was born a villain, but that his career as the patriarch for more than ten years made him understand a truth:
Home country country, home in front of the country.

That's why when he saw Qiao Zhou's shadow of him back then, he would naturally smile.

Perhaps Qiao Zhou will become like him in the future, but it does not prevent Li Chao from expressing his liking for his former self.

Seeing that Li Chao was silent for a long time, Qiao Yu asked directly, "As the leader of the Li family, you stayed in my secret room specially, so you didn't just want to ask me about this matter, did you?"

Perhaps many of the reputations of contemporary scholars are exaggerated, but that doesn't mean everyone is like that.

Qiao Yu and Li Chao had known each other since they were young, and they both worshiped under the same famous teacher. He knew Li Chao very well.

Perhaps in the eyes of the world, Li Chao's current official position is not high, and there are no amazing achievements passed down to the world in the past.

But under the circumstance of not showing the mountains and not revealing the water, the Guanghan Li family has risen rapidly in the past ten years under the leadership of Li Chao.

Even in the great turmoil that spread to the whole Yizhou that year, the Li family of Guanghan has always been able to make a fortune under the leadership of Li Chao.

Not only did the power of the family remain undiminished afterwards, but it was also a blessing in disguise. The three Li brothers all became officials with certain real power in Yizhou.

Even Zhuge Liang respected the reputation of the "Three Dragons of the Li Family". From this alone, we can see Li Chao's personal skills.

Including the strategy against Mi Yang tonight, most of it was also thought up by Li Chao.

Li Chao is the head of the "Three Dragons of the Li Family".

Seeing Qiao Yu asking about his real purpose, Li Chao put away the smile on his face, and his face turned solemn.

He took out a letter from his pocket, and handed it to Qiao Yu naturally.

After Qiao Yu saw some codes in the letter, his face also became serious.

Those codes represent that the letter came from Guanzhong.

After realizing this, Qiao Yu immediately took the letter in Li Chao's hand and read it.

As Qiao Yu's gaze focused on the content of the letter, his expression could no longer be summed up in the word serious.

There is also shock.

Because this letter was written by Wei Liangzhou governor Yang Fu himself!

If it was just that, Qiao Yu, who has experienced wind and rain, would not feel this way.

After all, although the Han Dynasty and Cao Wei are mortal enemies, it is common for the ministers of the two parties to exchange letters.

This is true even for Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

But the content of the letter in Qiao Yu's hand now is not a simple greeting between friends.

Instead, Yang Fu, as the governor of Wei Liangzhou, was asking the gentry in Yizhou to do something.

Ordinary pleasantries are fine, but not in this letter.

Once a letter with such content falls into the hands of outsiders, the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason will definitely not escape!

That's why Qiao Yu was so shocked.

But perhaps it was not the first time she had received such a letter, so the shocked expression on Qiao Yu's face quickly calmed down.

After reading the contents of the letter at an extremely fast speed, he immediately threw the letter in his hand into the brazier in front of him.

As the letter, which was enough to kill someone, was gradually reduced to ashes in the brazier, the worried look on Qiao Yu's face gradually dissipated.

It's just that the shock on his face is still there, and he can't calm down for a long time.

After a while, Qiao Yu asked Li Chaodao, "Do you want to join forces with the North?"

Hearing Qiao Yu's words, Qiao Zhou on the side was frightened to death immediately.

He was just wondering why Qiao Yu reacted that way after seeing the letter, and now he knows.

What kind of crime is it to have an affair with Ni Wei?
Qiao Zhou didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

But now he obviously does not have the strength to change this matter, so he can only obediently continue to listen to the conversation between Qiao Yu and Li Chao.

After listening to Qiao Yu's words, Li Chao stretched out his slender fingers and put them on the candle in front of him to bake.

It seemed that this would bring some warmth to his ailing body.

With the constant warmth coming from his fingertips, Li Chao also replied: "Otherwise, why would I let you read this letter?"

The tone of Li Chao's answer was very casual, as if he was doing something very ordinary.

After getting the answer, Qiao Yu's brows were furrowed.

He felt that under the current situation, the Yizhou gentry did not seem to need to rely on the power of the north.

Qiao Yu quickly told Li Chao her opinion.

Unexpectedly, Li Chao had a smile on his face after listening to Qiao Yu's words.

This smile seems to be mocking Qiao Yu's naivety.

"The North is not writing this letter because we need their help.

Because the time has come for them to take advantage of us.

And can we deny their use? "

Li Chao's words made Qiao Yu speechless for an instant.

The gentry in Yizhou had a connection with Cao Wei, which happened a long time ago.

Otherwise, how could Cao Cao know the situation in Yizhou so clearly when he conquered Hanzhong?

Perhaps the two sides were just a cooperative relationship at the beginning, but the strength between the two is not equal.

This kind of cooperation will eventually become a simple use by one party.

Just like Cao Wei's attitude towards the Yizhou gentry now.

Regardless of Yang Fu's tone in the letter, Qiao Yu is not a fool.

Under Li Chao's reminder, he also knew that if the Yizhou gentry did not handle this matter well, then they might lose Cao Wei's trust.

Isn't the first criterion for the gentry to survive in troubled times is to bet everywhere?

For such a result, Qiao Yu is definitely not willing to accept it.

Because in the hearts of many Yizhou gentry, they still think that it is Cao Wei who can finally unify the world.

After all, Cao Wei's national power is so strong that it cannot be wiped out with a few big victories.

After realizing this, Qiao Yu nodded to Li Chao and said, "I will try my best to handle this matter well."

Maybe Qiao Yu and Li Chao had equal identities at the beginning, but now Li Chao has become Cao Wei's spokesperson, so now Qiao Yu's status in front of Li Chao is already unequal.

Anyway, Yang Fu's request in the letter is not difficult for Qiao Yu at present, and it will not conflict with the strategy he just mentioned.

As for what kind of situation Liangzhou would fall into after Mi Yang was recalled by the design, this was not something he should consider.

It doesn't matter whether the world is Liu or Cao, as long as the Qiao family has always been the Guan family of Yizhou.

After listening to Qiao Yu's words, Li Chao also breathed a sigh of relief.

But before leaving, he still has one thing to remind Qiao Yu.

Li Chao said to Qiao Yu: "Among the ministers of today's imperial court, needless to say, Yuan Cong, don't care about the two ends of Dongzhou Shoushu, only the attitude of the Jingzhou ministers we need to pay attention to.

If they all support Mi Yang, it will be very detrimental to our plan. "

Seeing Li Chao expressing this level of worry, Qiao Yu nodded.

So he asked Li Chaodao, "What's your plan?"

Under Qiao Yu's inquiry, Li Chao thought for a while and replied: "There are many ministers in the Jingzhou clan, and most of them follow Zhuge Liang's lead.

Although people's hearts are different, Zhuge Liang can't completely control the ministers of the entire Jingzhou faction.

Since Zhuge Liang became the prime minister, Shang Shuling has lost all real power in Liu Ba's hands, and he has long been dissatisfied with Mi Yang in the past, you can try to contact him.

If Liu Ba can take the lead in impeaching Mi Yang, his prestige among the Jingzhou ministers will not make them defect, but it will be enough to shake some Jingzhou ministers.

In addition, with Liu Ba's status, his impeachment can attract Liu Bei's attention even more. "

After listening to Li Chao's words, Qiao Yu's face first showed joy.

How could he forget such a heavyweight who was dissatisfied with Mi Yang?
But then doubts appeared on his face.

"The power in Liu Zichu's hands is no longer as good as it used to be. Besides, because he was afraid of suspicion and suspicion, he kept silent in the past and kept quiet, not speaking of non-official matters. Will he impeach Mi Yang like this?"

Faced with Qiao Yu's doubts, Li Chao thought for a while and replied:
"Perhaps Liu Zichu doesn't want to provoke ordinary affairs, but he himself is a very noble and assertive person, and this has never changed. Have you forgotten that he humiliated Zhang Fei back then?

Liu Zichu was not even willing to flatter Zhang Fei, so how could he be afraid of the power behind Mi Yang.

Besides, Liu Zichu has always regarded himself as a Miao descendant of the Han family, and he will not be inferior to Liu Bei in his emphasis on the stability of the big man.

When the big man is facing instability, he will not sit idly by. "

Hearing what Li Chao said, Qiao Yu gradually settled down with doubts.

Regardless of whether Liu Ba will come up with this idea, but if it is possible, then he is willing to try it.

After discussing everything with Qiao Yu, Li Chaoqiang stood up with support, said goodbye to Qiao Yu and left slowly.

After Li Chao left, only Qiao Yu and Qiao Zhou were left in the secret room.

After listening to Qiao Zhou's real plan of Li Chao and Qiao Yu's whole story, the mood in his heart is like a stormy sea, and he can't calm down for a long time.

He knew too many secrets tonight.

After Li Chao left, Qiao Yu's eyes all fell on Qiao Zhou.

Although Qiao Yu just looked at Qiao Zhou quietly, but now Qiao Zhou felt that there was a strong pressure wrapped around him.

This is from Qiao Yu, the patriarch's pressure on Qiao Zhou Tianran.

Qiao Zhou was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his face.

But fortunately Qiao Yu didn't want to do anything to Qiao Zhou, after watching Qiao Zhou for a long time, he said to him: "What we said tonight is also what you will do tomorrow.

So you have to study hard. "

Hearing what Qiao Yu said, Qiao Zhou nodded hurriedly.

Seeing Qiao Zhou Zhou's obedient and obedient appearance, Qiao Yu showed a smile on his face.

Since the death of his only son, he has poured his family's hopes on Qiao Zhou, and Qiao Zhou's performance has never disappointed him.

Under such complicated emotions, Qiao Yu suddenly asked Qiao Zhou, "Can you fight Mi Yang?"

Facing Qiao Yu's sudden question, Qiao Zhou froze on the spot.

For a moment he didn't know how to answer.

But why should he answer?

Everyone knows the answer.

If Mi Yang is compared to a bright moon, then Qiao Zhou can at most be regarded as a star dotted beside it.

Qiao Yu naturally knew this too.

So he didn't wait for Qiao Zhou to answer him, he just looked at Qiao Zhou and said to himself:

"Maybe you can't beat him.

But I'll help you get rid of him.

Years later, you are still a winner. "

Under what circumstances will the stars become the protagonists of the dark night sky?
That was when Haoyue fell.

On the second day after the secret meeting ended, the documents from Liangzhou finally came to Chengdu.

As usual, this document was sent to Zhuge Liang with priority.

After Zhuge Liang saw the contents of the document, a complicated look appeared on his face.

The three-head system and the equal-field system are both very novel systems for him.

It's just that although Zhuge Liang's philosophy of governing the country emphasizes harmony with the people's livelihood, keep it quiet.

But for Zhuge Liang who wrote the law "Shu Ke", he is not someone who cannot accept novelty.

On the contrary, Zhuge Liang himself is a person full of innovative ideas.

So when he understood what the three-head system and the equal-field system were, Zhuge Liang's first reaction was surprise.

In all fairness, he did not expect Mi Yang to act like this before.

Most of the current politicians are still sticking to the fixed routine of combating tyrants and restoring production to develop the economy.

Zhuge Liang thought that Mi Yang would do the same. After all, it is the safest way to avoid making mistakes.

But his quasi-apprentice is good, he hits the powerful and powerful harder than anyone else.

It also directly created two brand-new systems to develop production. Such a move can be said to be the first time in decades.

Regardless of how advanced Cao Wei's garrison system was boasted by northern scholars, Cao Wei's garrison system was not the first, at most it was carried forward.

It can be said that Mi Yang's move is very bold.

But Zhuge Liang is full of expectations for Mi Yang's ruling style.

It's just that Zhuge Liang has expectations, and others are different.

When the news that Mi Yang was planning to implement the three-head system and the land equalization system in Liangzhou came out, the whole of Chengdu instantly fell into a boil.

Not long after, this kind of boiling mixed with malice was being promoted by many caring people, and it spread throughout Shu County at an extremely fast speed.

And even more places in Yizhou.
