Chapter 320 Brainwashing Cao Zhang and his ambition to dominate the world!

"What if the Crown Prince of Hanzhong doesn't want to accept me?"

Cao Zhang's face was gloomy, and he unconsciously began to worry about his future.

"Why do you need to worry, sir? My lord is a benevolent and righteous man. He must do what he says and his actions must bear fruit. For example, isn't Ma Chao of Xiliang holding an important position in Yizhou now?"

Jinma Chao is Jinma Chao, I am me!

Dongligun's words obviously did not dispel Cao Zhang's doubts.

The waiting outside the city did not last long.

squeak~
The gate of Nanzheng City was slowly pushed open, and Liu Chan walked up quickly in front of everyone.

"The Marquis of Yanling has come to visit us. Zen may not welcome us from afar, but we may not welcome you from afar! Please don't worry about it!"

Seeing Liu Chan's enthusiasm, Huang Xuer and Cao Zhang hurriedly hid his previous displeasure and forced a smile on his face.

"A defeated general and a bereaved dog will become a corpse if His Highness does not take them in. How can you care?"

Liu Chan stepped forward, took Cao Zhang's hand, and said: "Then Cao Pi went against the grain and took away your throne. Alas, I regret that I couldn't send troops to attack at that time. Otherwise, the king will take back the throne. Then you and I will help the Han Dynasty together." , isn’t it beautiful?”

Since when has that throne been mine?

Seeing Cao Zhang's confused look, Liu Chan continued: "As far as I know, when your father passed away, he left a secret decree for you to take over the position of King of Wei. It's a pity that the one who was beside Cao Cao back then was Cao Pi, he has burned this secret decree long ago."

"Is there such a thing?"

Cao Zhang's expression was uncertain.

"Of course it's happening. I'll talk about the specific details after entering the city while drinking. The banquet has been prepared in the city, and we're just waiting for you."

"Never mind!"

As soon as he heard about the banquet, fluids came out of Cao Zhang's mouth.

This bereaved dog has not had a good meal for several months, but now he can finally have a good meal.

Thinking about it, Cao Zhang felt so wronged that his eyes became moist.

Liu Chan held Cao Zhang's hand, got on the carriage and headed towards the city.

Cao Zhang looked out from the car and said with emotion: "Last year, Hanzhong was a white land with not many people. Unexpectedly, just one year later, Nanzheng City has become lively."

After Cao Cao occupied Hanzhong, he moved all the people in Hanzhong to Guanzhong.

These people, these angry people, are immigrants.

The largest number are the barbarians from South China.

but
As the saying goes, do as the Romans do.

They were barbarians in Nanzhong, but when they arrived in Hanzhong and learned how to farm, they were actually not much different from the Han people.

"Yizhou has the spirit of dragon, so it can naturally gather people."

Liu Chan looked at Cao Zhang with a smile, but said such meaningful words.

The latter was stunned for a moment and was about to retort, but thinking of what happened before, he fell silent again.

To a certain extent, Liu Chan's words were not wrong.

"arrive."

The government office is already in front of me.

In front of the government office, Wei Yan, dressed in official robes, had already been waiting outside the government office.

"Your Highness, the banquet has been prepared in the hall."

Liu Chan nodded, got off the carriage, and introduced to Cao Zhang: "He is Wei Yan, Wei Wenchang, the governor of Hanzhong. In the future, you will support him together when you are in Hanzhong."

Cao Zhang had already calmed down the arrogance in his heart when he was living under someone else's roof.

He stepped forward, saluted Wei Yan, and said: "The defeated general, the bereaved dog, pays homage to the Governor."

Seeing that Cao Zhang was so on the road, Liu Chan was here, and thinking that Liu Chan wanted him to cultivate his moral character, Wei Yanma also squeezed out a smile on his face.

"Wei Yan has also heard of Huang Xuer's name, please!"

When they arrived in the hall, the three of them sat down.

The food and wine in the hall are rich and delicious.

Cao Zhang just sat still, looking at the delicacies on the table, he couldn't help drooling, but when he thought of his current situation, he held back his desire and looked straight at the person sitting on the main seat. Liu Chan.

"Your Highness said that the King of Wei was originally me. I wonder if it is true or false?"

Liu Chan said with a smile: "If you want it to be true, then it will be true. If you want to be false, then it will be false. If the general can help my great Han win the Kingdom of Wei, then he will become the King of Wei. What's wrong with that?"

Anyway, let’s draw the pie first and then talk about it.

"Ever since Emperor Gao killed the White Snake and established the Han Dynasty, he has established the rule that no one with the surname Liu can be crowned king. Naturally, Zhang does not dare to violate the rules."

What about King Wei?

Cao Zhang clearly felt that Liu Chan was digging a hole for him!

"Hahaha~"

Liu Chan laughed loudly and said, "You are not allowed to be crowned king within the Nine Provinces, but that is not necessarily the case outside the Nine Provinces."

Outside Kyushu?

Liu Chan's words immediately attracted Cao Zhang's attention.

"Why did Your Highness say it was outside the Nine Provinces?"

"Besides the Nine Provinces, the Xiongnu is the same, the Xianbei is the same, and the Western Regions are the same. I heard that the princes want to imitate Wei Qing and Huo Qubing during the Han Dynasty. They want to seal the wolf as a subordinate, drink horses in Mobei, and establish unparalleled achievements?"

He, Cao Zhang, has no interest in power.

But the interest in conquests and achievements was not only there, but also great.

"My ambition is to go down in history and become the second Huo Qubing!"

"Good ambition!"

Liu Chan slapped the table in front of him vigorously, then picked up the wine bottle in his hand, made a gesture to Cao Zhang, and said: "If you have such great ambitions, you will definitely be a flying general of our Han Dynasty in the future, not to mention becoming the first It is not impossible for two champions to surpass the champion!"

"This bottle of wine, I respect you, please!"

More than Huo Qubing?
Cao Zhang quickly stood up, picked up the wine bottle in his hand, saluted Liu Chan, and said, "How can I be more virtuous and capable than the champion?"

But even so, he drank the glass of wine in his hand and looked at Liu Chan, now much less alert.

Obviously Liu Chan's words calmed his restless heart a lot.

"I wonder if Junhou has ever heard of Guishuang?"

"Guishuang?"

Cao Zhang was holding the wine bottle, but there was a black question mark on his face.

He doesn't even understand the land of Jiuzhou now. What is this Guishan of labor and capital?
A look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he said with some embarrassment: "I have not heard of Guishuang."

"The Kushan people are the empire!
They were originally a branch of the Yuezhi people who lived in the Amu Darya and Syr Darya river basins.The Yuezhi people went south to conquer Daxia and divided Daxia into five tribes. Each tribe had a chief named Xihou.Among the five Xihous, Qiujiu, the Xihou of Guishuang, eliminated the other Xihous, unified the five tribes, and established the Kushan Kingdom.

After that, the Kushan Kingdom conquered the south and the north, and occupied a land full of gold. There were tens of millions of people under its rule. And because it was on the trade route of the Western Regions, the country was rich, and it had hundreds of thousands in armor, and it was thousands of people. country. "

"Don't you want to have such a powerful country besides me?"

Cao Zhang listened to Liu Chan's eloquent talk. He was from Dayue clan and mentioned the names of various places and famous people. It didn't look like he was just talking nonsense.

And
After Liu Chan said it so carefully, he had indeed heard his staff say that there was a powerful country outside the Western Regions, and this powerful country must be Guishang.

"How can such a country and such a prosperous land not be owned by my great Han?"

We, the great Han, are located in the center of the world. The whole world is the land of the king, and the shores of the land are the ministers of the king. Of course, such a good place belongs to us!
"If there is such wealth as His Highness said, it should belong to me, the Han people!"

"it is good!"

Liu Chan clapped his hands and applauded, then picked up the wine bottle that had been filled by the waiter, made a gesture to Cao Zhang, and said with a smile: "This glass of wine is to honor the king for his bravery, and to make contributions to my great man in the future, and to win Guishuang! "

Take Kushan?

Capture a country with tens of millions of people?

For a moment, Cao Zhang blushed and was extremely excited.

"If Your Highness believes in me, I will take the so-called Guishuang for Your Highness!"

Liu Chan smiled and said nothing. After a moment, he asked again: "Does the general know about Rome?"

Rome?Mules and horses?

"A kind of horse?"

"Hahaha~"

Cao Zhang's words made Liu Chan laugh.

"Rome is an empire! It is thousands of miles away from me, and its territory is many times larger than Kyushu."

"what?"

clang~
Cao Zhang loosened his hand holding the wine bottle and let the wine bottle fall to the ground, with a shocked expression on his face.

"There is actually a country that is bigger than my big man?"

Liu Chan smiled and said: "Not only is it big, but the country is long and has been around for hundreds of years. It has existed since the Qin Dynasty."

Qin Dynasty?

Does such a huge creature really exist?
"Have you ever heard of the Sasanian dynasty?"

Sasanian?

What is this again?
"Could it be like the Roman Empire again, bigger than my big man and with more people?"

Liu Chan said with a smile:

"Although it is not as huge as Rome, it is still a powerful country."

"Have you ever heard of the peace of the empire?"

"Have you ever heard of the American continent?"

"Have you ever heard of this?"

For him, what Liu Chan said to him at this banquet was like stabbing Cao Zhang in the butt and opening his eyes.

It turns out that the world we are fighting for is just a small part of the world.

There is a broader world and richer places waiting for me, a big man, to conquer!
"Listening to His Highness's words is better than ten years of reading. Now I realize that my ambition compared with Your Highness is like the light of a firefly compared to the bright moon."

Liu Chan appeased Cao Zhang and said: "The world is very big, but our lifespan is limited. If we want to go out to conquer foreign countries and establish achievements comparable to or even surpassing those of the champions, we must unify the land of Kyushu. Without the backing of Kyushu, how can we compete with powerful countries?" Fight?"

Look at the whole world, but what we have to start now is the close one.

Not to mention attacking Wei, now Guanzhong cannot be conquered.

The land in Longxi will have to wait several years before it can be sold.

"Your Highness has such ambitions, how can I not help you? As long as Your Highness can help me achieve my achievements, I will do my best no matter what you ask me to do!"

"There is no need to let the princes and princes decide whether to go through fire or water. I want the princes and Wen Chang to sit in Hanzhong. He will be in charge of the military formation and you will be in charge of recruiting and surrendering. In a few years, we will prepare for the attack on Guanzhong!"

After taking a breath, Liu Chan continued: "If Guanzhong goes down, then the land of Yongliang is in my hands. I can start raising horses, pacify the Qiang people, go north to gather the grassland tribes, and then I can explore the Western Region again. After that, I can occupy It’s the land of Kushan.”

Anyway, what a big pie!

Liu Chan made a decision for Cao Zhang.

If you don't give him a goal, a goal that is more important than family ties, how can you make him sincerely serve?

"The last general takes orders!"

Cao Zhang immediately stood up and knelt down in front of Liu Chan.

This time he knelt down, and he was no longer the Marquis of Yanling of Wei.

But he is Liu Chan's minister.

Liu Chan also stood up, helped Cao Zhang up, and said: "I have submitted a petition to ask my father to make you the Marquis of Dingyuan, to take charge of the generalship of the general of Wei, and to form an army of [-] in Hanzhong to attack Wei, under your command!" "

After all, Marquis Yanling was a feudal lord of Wei State.

Liu Chan wanted to ask Liu Bei to grant him the title of Marquis of Han China.

"His Highness took such a life, he will never be repaid with death!"

The Crown Prince of Hanzhong did not lie to me, nor did he lie to me in his letter.

Give me an official position, give me a title, and give me military power.

He wanted to reuse me, not let me be a mascot.

It seems that my dream, Cao Zhang’s, is still possible to come true!

"Marquis Dingyuan, live a good life for me, win Guanzhong for me, bring peace to Wei for me, and I can also make you the second Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty, even surpassing the champion Hou Huo Qubing!"

This is Liu Chan's promise to Cao Zhang.

This promise is worth a thousand dollars.

Cao Zhang nodded heavily and said: "Your Highness has failed me, and the last general will not fail His Highness as well."

From Wei to Han China.

I just changed jobs, but why do I feel like I am starting to have a head start in this life?

after that.

The feast continues.

Five tastes of food, three rounds of wine.

It was not until late that Cao Zhang was helped out of the table by the waiter in a drunken state.

today.

He drank to his heart's content and drank the wine as if it were water.

He drank himself until he became unconscious and uttered the truth while drunk.

of course
It's also possible that it was done deliberately to show him, Liu Chan.

The backyard of the government office.

Even though Liu Chan's ability to drink was not bad, he still felt a little groggy at the moment.

"Mr. Lang? Why did you drink so much?"

Guan Yinping, who was wearing a skirt, looked at the drunk Liu Chan and hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

"Go and prepare the hangover soup."

He ordered the maid beside him.

Supporting Liu Chan on the bed, Guan Yinping carefully took off Liu Chan's coat.

He filled a basin of hot water with a copper basin and wiped Liu Chan's whole body with a towel.

After that, he changed into clean clothes, and during this time, the maid also brought the cooked hangover soup.

"Your Highness, have some soup."

After drinking a bowl of hangover soup, Liu Chan sobered up a lot.

"Drinking and sex hurt my body. From today on, I will stop drinking!"

With that said, he hugged Guan Yinping and threw her on the bed.

Guan Yinping's face turned red with embarrassment. She didn't know that Liu Chan was pretending to be drunk just now.

"I finally caught you up, but you don't care about me."

Guan Yinping followed Liu Chan all the way with Guan Xingjun, and it took him nearly a month to catch up with Liu Chan in Hanzhong.

As for why Guan Yinping came but Liu Chan's other female family members did not, we have to ask his second brother-in-law Guan Xing.

This guy was so shameless that he wanted to take Guan Yinping with him. Guan Yu seemed to be the one giving instructions from behind.

It seems that Guan Yu is also very anxious about his eldest grandson.

"I will leave for Chengdu in three days. When I arrive in Chengdu, I will not be yours alone."

Liu Chan lay down on the bed, glanced at Guan Yinping, and said, "I drank some wine tonight."

After saying that, Liu Chan closed his eyes directly.

Guan Yinping looked at Liu Chan with shame and anger.

tonight
Doomed to sleepless.
