Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 338 I can't beat it, just condemn it!
Li Yan's words were still emotional, which made Xu Zhenneng calm down a little, so that he wouldn't be too embarrassed.

And his standing up to stop Huang Quan also made him understand the current situation. It is not a bad thing to have integrity in front of Xu Zhen, but it is not a good thing for the situation in Yizhou.

At this time in Yizhou, no one saw where the foreign aid was at all. If Xu Zhen was offended and attacked Yizhou desperately, there would be no consequences for a good death.

These counselors spend a lot of time talking, not only can they find a way out for themselves, but also let Liu Zhang live a comfortable and prosperous life by the way.

Liu Zhang and Xu Zhen had no enmity, and he was born as a royal family member, so he would be able to protect himself in the future.

Speaking of this, Xu Zhen didn't want to blame Huang Quan any more, after all, being loyal to one's master is a good quality.

His existence still plays a big role.

"Okay," Xu Zhen smiled lightly, and said to Li Yan: "Hanzhong has been preaching Taoism with five buckets of rice for many years, and there are many believers all over the place. It will take me a year to completely eliminate these believers so as to benefit the government and support the people. Settle the people who follow."

"You can tell Liu Yizhou about this. After one year, we can discuss the ownership of Hanzhong again. Or, the ownership of Hanzhong is still Yizhou Liu Zhang, but I remember that Yizhou has not paid tribute for more than ten years. If I let you make it up More than ten years of tribute taxation is not a small damage."

"In this case, how about taking part of the Hanzhong harvest and handing it over to Emperor Xudu myself?"

After Xu Zhen finished speaking, she laughed again, "It's useless for me to ask you, just return to my life like this when I go back."

"Zhang Lu in Hanzhong has already been eliminated, and the previous agreement has been successfully reached. How to govern it in the future requires Liu Yizhou to work together, all for the sake of the big man."

Li Yan and Fazheng looked at each other, and couldn't say anything more, so they could only bow their hands together, but Huang Quan squinted his eyes, not wanting to go back like this, stood up and bowed his hands to Xu Zhen again, saying: "The meaning of riding a car , this Hanzhong is not willing to return it for the time being?"

Xu Zhen's cheeks twitched immediately, and he sneered, "Your Hanzhong was taken by Zhang Lu. If you want to come back, you can ask Zhang Lu for it."

"When we seized Hanzhong, it was taken from Zhang Lu. How can it be the same?"

Huang Quan was speechless, this truth...it seemed like a preposterous statement, how could it be said by a normal person, isn't this a robber?

I'm looking for Zhang Lu, Zhang Lu was killed by you, how can I find him! ?

"Cheqi's words are like ice and snow, not hesitating his own fame and reputation. What the original covenant said was to repel Zhang Lu, regain the land of Hanzhong for Yizhou, and eliminate the chaotic power of Wudoumi Taoism."

"Now that it has been taken back, why do you have to go back on your word?!"

"The chaotic power of Wudoumi Taoism has not been eliminated."

Xu Zhen said flatly.

Huang Quan was dumbfounded again. At this moment, he understood that it was impossible to reason with Xu Zhen.

Only by using the power of swords and soldiers can he make some concessions. If he is not weak, he will go back immediately and tell the lord about this. Relying on the dangerous mountains of Yizhou, he will start a war with Xu Zhen.

He doesn't know the terrain of Yizhou, so he can't be very familiar with it. He must be led by the nose by our army. If things go on like this, Xu Zhen will definitely retreat to nothing. He will definitely not be able to gather troops and food in Yizhou.

We don't have to be afraid of him when we have a good location.

"Hmph, since that's the case, although the people of Yizhou are humble, they will not submit to such a powerful power like bandits."

Huang Quan was still unconvinced, with sullen meaning in his words, he put his sleeves behind his back, and said forcefully: "I already understand the meaning of chariots and riders. After I go back this time, I will immediately tell my lord that Yizhou is in peace, but not People who are afraid of tyranny, your behavior is no different from what Dong Zhuo did back then."

After he finished speaking, the man turned around and left. Xu Zhen didn't stop him, and the two armies fought without killing each other.

Moreover, Huang Quan does not have much status in the army now, and killing him will not have much impact on the Yizhou regime, but will cause a slight turmoil in the morale of his own army.

Huang Quan left angrily, and Li Yan and Fazheng naturally had no reason to stay. After looking at each other with wry smiles, they bowed their hands to Xu Zhen.

They also left one after another to return to their orders, but this time, they could see Xu Zhen's attitude clearly.

Now Xu Zhen must need Yizhou very much, but it is not necessary. Unlike some princes abroad, those down-and-out princes have no choice but to get a foothold. It means a lot to them.

It is enough to guarantee peace and resistance for more than ten years, at least in the short term it will not be annexed.

"Cheqi's meaning, it can be seen that he is very firm. He will not give up Hanzhong. As for eliminating the remnants of Wudoumi Taoism within a year, it is naturally a lie. Even Zhang Lu and other factions Whether it is completely cleared or not, we don't know."

As soon as he came out, Li Yan talked to Fazheng very clearly on the bright side, and Fazheng naturally took it very seriously. There is no reason to hand over the city he got right away.

For example, like Jingzhou today, it is said that Uncle Liu used the name of Jingzhou to occupy that fertile land first, in an attempt to seek further growth.

"Then, can Li Jun tell you how you plan to speak to the lord after you go back?"

Fazheng said with a smile, because of his handsome face, his smile is naturally good-looking, at least he never makes people feel disgusted when talking with people.

Li Yan smiled, opened his mouth slightly, hesitated to speak, took a deep look at him, and said with a light smile: "Xiaozhi is planning to talk to me?"

"I don't dare. I just feel that Mr. Li has always been thoughtful and far-sighted. He is beyond the reach of others. If you ask about it and go back later, you can cooperate with each other. If Mr. Li has any good ideas, just let me know. can go together."

"Humph!"

Speaking of this, Li Yan was rather dissatisfied.

It is no secret that you, Fazheng and Zhang Song, are both very ambiguous about Xiliang, and joined Xu Zhen's command early on, and Zhang Song even pulled Xu Zhen's banner because of this, He had secretly helped him win over power in Yizhou long ago.

Many of Zhang Song's friends have already planned to join him, but the time has not come yet, but these people seem to be thinking too brightly.

The reason why Li Yan didn't dare to express his position immediately was because he planned to wait and see.

In his opinion, being the lord of Yizhou, although his father inherited it, does not mean that Liu Zhang is really a soft persimmon. Besides, even if the lord of a state is a soft persimmon, it is still easy to kill someone of.

If the lord is really driven into a hurry, even if he loses, both sides will suffer. What should we do if we wantonly turn the butcher's knife on our own people in Yizhou?

If you, Fazheng and Zhang Song, are too showy, sooner or later one of them will die.

The collusion between Xu Zhen and Yizhou was only in secret, as can be seen from the gifts he sent out last time. How many people he returned gifts to, and the severity of the gifts were different.

"Xiaozhi, Cheqi's words are not light or light, but they are not serious. If you don't want the lord to worry too much, you can tell the truth after you go back, but make it clear what Cheqi means. What he wants is Hanzhong Anning and Yizhou Anning , not to launch troops against the Liu family, Yizhou has a vast land and rich resources, a prosperous population, and has always enjoyed peace."

"Many teachings are born in Yizhou, and there are dangerous mountains and miasma forests to resist. Once a fight breaks out and people are devastated, it is naturally not good."

"But you and I speak, don't be too clear, now is not the time," Li Yan explained half of it, but he thought that the wisdom of Fazheng must be understood.

Fazheng really understands.

Nodding with a smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "I also consider the same way, Mr. Li really has a good opinion, and since that's the case, we must persuade Gongheng after we go back."

"That's not necessarily true," Li Yan sneered again, and taking advantage of Fazheng's bright smile, he immediately poured cold water on his head, "Huang Gongheng is so loyal and speaks up for justice, this is the benign nature of our Han people. Such a person is like a rare BMW to those famous military generals, and may be more valued."

"You are flocking to it, but it makes people despise it."

Fazheng's eyes flickered for a moment, and the smile on his face froze immediately, but it quickly recovered, and he clasped his hands again and said, "Yes, I've been taught."

"Thank you Mingjun for teaching me, I will remember it in my heart."

"No need!"

Li Yan bowed back, "I made a slip of the tongue, how dare you preach! Don't blame Xiaozhi."

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

The two looked at each other, sparks were constantly sparking at each other, but they smiled very leisurely and relaxed, like old friends, they got on the carriage and returned to their lives.

……

Yizhou.

Inside the Chengdu Government Office, Liu Zhang cursed angrily after receiving Xu Zhen's reply, "I'm so kind to bully you!"

Liu Zhang, who is of medium stature and kind-hearted, rarely gets angry. At this moment, his face is flushed, his sleeves are fluttering, and his hands are neither behind his back nor on the desk.

His lips trembled constantly, as if he wanted to say something more, but he couldn't say anything. After thinking for a while, he looked up at Huang Quan and said, "What is your plan?"

"You can only fight with one."

Huang Quan clasped his fists and said: "My lord is the orthodox of the Han Dynasty. If Xu Zhen attacks Yizhou, he will be ashamed by the people of the world. Therefore, he will cast a rat-like weapon and dare not really attack the city. Let's back down step by step."

"But, if he is really allowed to gradually erode it, I'm afraid it will be a fatal disaster just like Zhang Lu, and it will be difficult to expel it in the future."

"Not bad!"

Zhang Ren is next to him, wearing black iron full armor, a lion head skirt in front, a goggle on his chest, and a gold-plated tiger helmet on his head, majestic and majestic.

Although it is not an extremely majestic figure, but its agility can be glimpsed. At first glance, it looks like a dexterous general like a leopard.

At this moment, he was quite angry, looked at the empty space with vacant eyes, and said in thought: "Then Xu Bowen is a little too deceitful."

"We asked him to attack Zhang Lu because we didn't want the local people to be disturbed by it. We were afraid that there would be chaos and disharmony in Yizhou. Unexpectedly, Xu Zhen would take advantage of the situation. If he didn't send troops, he would be mistaken for benefit. The state is weak."

"We still have to fight."

Liu Zhang thought for a long time, wanted to speak immediately but continued to think. After a while, he tilted his head and smiled at Li Yan, asking, "Zhengfang, what do you think?"

"I... think it's impossible to fight. My lord can wait a year before talking to Cheqi. At this time, it's time to inform the people of this situation and use it to stabilize people's hearts."

"For one thing, if the common people know about this agreement, there will be no chaos, and the work and rest of the Spring and Autumn Period will continue to advance, and we will still be able to gain something."

"Secondly, if Xu Zhen is willing to return it after a year, everyone will be happy. It is nothing more than a year's harvest missing for him, which is also reasonable. After all, he sent troops to solve the Zhang Lu chaos for us. If he refuses, then we can With the hearts of the people in our hands, and our teachers being famous, our soldiers and horses will be able to prepare for another year."

"Also, within this year, you can go to various places to ask for help, or you can go to the imperial court, and you can have both sides, and then make arrangements, and there is a deadline."

"If we go to attack now, it doesn't matter whether we can win or not. If we can't kill Xu Bowen, our Yizhou will waste our troops in vain. And he is sitting in Xiliang, Youzhou, Bingzhou and other places. Even Cao Cao dare not break with him. With the edict of the Son of Heaven, he moved his fiefdom from Shucheng to Wuwei."

"I'm afraid this is an acknowledgment of Xu Zhen's idea that he can stand on his own in Xiliang. To put it bluntly, even the Cao family, who is now in full swing, is afraid of Xu Zhen. Why bother to touch his edge?"

"My lord..." Li Yan said this, with a deeper tone, "You should understand that Xu Zhen is extraordinary now. After defeating Zhang Lu a few days ago, he led another hundred thousand soldiers into Hanzhong. Just wait."

On the way back, Li Yan thought about the current situation early on. Of course, in his opinion, even if he waited a year, Yizhou would not be able to win.

In recent years, Yizhou's soldiers and horses have been even more tired. They are definitely not the opponents of Xu Zhen's fierce soldiers.

But the sooner this battle comes, the better.

He can also operate some arrangements in it. For him, the battle is no longer about victory or defeat. If he knows that Xu Zhen will definitely win, then the battle is about surrendering in the future, and who can get attention.

Therefore, he expressed his opinion very reasonably.

However, Li Yan's status is actually not very high, and now he is only the county magistrate of Zigui County. Liu Zhang's kindness in recommending him, and the family's operation of finding contacts and recommending him made his talent famous, so he was able to sit in this hall. Word.

Even, his status is not as good as Fazheng, Huang Quan and others, but Liu Zhang is quite dependent on him, that is, his talent is really outstanding.

After this incident, he can immediately be promoted to guard and lead troops to station somewhere. He can be regarded as a rising star among this group of people.

The difference between him and others is that Liu Zhang regards him as one of the civil and military personnel from his direct lineage, and it happens that Li Yan is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he has a great possibility of leading in the future.

Of course, that was in the future, and now Li Yan could not compete with many ministers in Yizhou.

For example, on the way back, he and Fazheng went to tell Huang Quan the way to speak up, but Huang Quan grabbed him in the carriage and scolded him for three days.

He scolded Li Yan for breaking his promise.

But Fazheng didn't dare to scold, he just sneered and said some bitter remarks.

Liu Zhang now feels that there are really many people who can be used under his command. Whether it is a great talent in the army or a virtuous minister in the internal affairs, he can pull out any one who can be alone.

But at this very moment, he felt a little useless.

With so many talents, it has never been well established before.

If I make use of it a little bit, and I can also use someone's sage talent, maybe I am the one who is sitting in Xiliang now...

How can this be done.

Really can't fight?
Xu Zhen doesn't even want to mess with Cao Cao?

Then why should I mess with him?Why don't Hanzhong let it go.

One year, one year later...

Liu Zhang's kindness began to break out. This kind of character, if you say it is kind, if you put it a little harshly, it is actually weak.

He didn't dare to fight Xu Zhen desperately.

As soon as Li Yan said this plan, and Fazheng gave him a little help, a bunch of reasons why he couldn't fight appeared in his heart, and he even thought it was very reasonable.

"Then, let's not type for now... I will repair a book and give it to that car to read, with a slightly stricter tone."

He wasn't ready to go to war, but he still wanted to teach him a lesson and condemn him severely. This was Xu Bowen's behavior.
