Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 206 United Front
While steadily digesting the fruits of victory, Liu Chan actively walked the lower-level route, starting from the bottom to win the hearts of the people.

However, Li Hui was secretly sent by Liu Chan. He bypassed Cunji County by smearing water in advance, and only brought a hundred soldiers to guard him.

Of course, his task was neither beheading nor leading a hundred warriors to capture Dianchi Lake.

He is going to take the upper route.

Even the mighty and powerful families in Nanzhong are not monolithic, and they cannot be treated as one size fits all. We must identify the forces that can be drawn, and unite and fight.

Only by establishing the broadest united front can Ji Han be prevented from repeating Wang Mang's mistakes, and then Nanzhong can be pacified as quickly as possible.

Although the Yong family is the only one in Yizhou County, like the three eastern counties, there are still other families.

In addition to the Yong family, there are three other families that have made it to the stage: Meng, Huo, and Cuan.

Needless to say, the Meng family was one of the initiators of the rebellion, and it was impossible to get him to surrender without first crushing his illusions on the frontal battlefield.

The Huo family, that is, the family of Huo Huan, Yong Jie's dog-headed military adviser, can basically be regarded as a vassal of the Yong family, and it is very difficult to instigate rebellion.

"Then... don't we go to Dianchi Lake to return without success?" Li Yi listened to his father talking about the situation of other families, and the more he heard, the more frustrated he became.

Li Hui glared: "My father hasn't finished talking yet, why are you so anxious. How can you be so impatient, how can you achieve great things in the future!"

Less than three words can become a lesson to his son. This is the case with Lao Liu, Li Hui, and perhaps most fathers in the world.

"Who said we're going to Dianchi Lake, we're going back to our hometown, Yu Yuan."

Li Yi was taken aback: "Back to Yu Yuan?"

Yu Yuan is not far from the southeast of Dianchi Lake, closer to Fuxian Lake.

"That's right." Li Hui nodded and said, "The crown prince has high hopes for being a father, how can he return without success now. Although the other families have nothing to do for the time being, but for the Cuan family, being a father is determined to win."

"Why?" Li Yi was a little puzzled.

Li Hui smiled: "I have an aunt for my father, she married into the Cuan family back then, and now the head of the Cuan family, Cuan Xi, is my father's aunt, your aunt."

"..."

Li Hui and his son traveled down the river much faster than news of Liu Chan's capture of Cunji County.

The Yong family and Meng Huo didn't know that the northern army had arrived. At this time, Nanzhong was still in a state of being tight on the outside and loose on the inside.

The further they went to the hinterland, the more relaxed the interrogation when they entered the city. They only needed to throw coins to open the way, and Li Hui spoke a fluent local accent, and they entered Yuyuan County easily.

"Father, even if the Cuan family is related to me, and now the two sides are at war, let's go directly to the door...Will they be against us?"

Li Hui finally smiled with relief this time: "My son can worry about this, what a fatherly heart, haha."

But he's clearly not worried about that.

When the familiar people found the Cuan family's mansion in Yu Yuan, Li Hui directly reported his name without hesitation, which made Li Yi feel nervous.

However, after a while, not only did no one come out to arrest them, but they were also warmly received by the Cuan family.

"De'ang, we haven't seen each other for a long time, the child has grown up so much. I must stay here for a while, so that my uncle can fulfill his kindness as a landlord, huh? Hahaha..."

Li Yi was dumbfounded, he was just a nephew with a different surname, was it necessary for this aunt to be so close?

At that time, he was still young, so he really didn't have much impression of this aunt.

That night, Cuan Xi held a family banquet in honor of Li Hui and his son, during which Li Hui also met his long-lost aunt.

Li Hui never mentioned the matter of instigating rebellion, and Cuan Xi didn't ask why Li Hui came here, they just said goodbye, and the host and guest had a good time.

After the banquet was over, Li Yi helped his father, who was talking nonsense, go back to his room to rest.

It's just that after entering the room, Li Hui opened his drunken eyes, which were so clear that he wasn't half drunk.

"Father, are you...?"

Li Hui said with a smile: "If you want to win over Cuan's family, you need to show sincerity. But you and I are behind the enemy lines after all, how can you be really drunk as a father?"

"Father is still thoughtful."

"Tonight, order the accompanying guards to cheer up. If the situation is not right, we will rush out of the mansion immediately." Li Hui said solemnly, "The guard of Ximen is an old friend of his father. After leaving the mansion, he went straight to Ximen and fled."

Li Yi nodded and said: "Yes, my son will go now."

Later, Li Yi, who had made the arrangements, returned to the room, feeling uneasy, but saw that Li Huizheng finished grooming calmly and was about to go to sleep.

"Oh, it would be great if the child had the concentration of his father." Li Yi sighed, more and more convinced by the crown prince Liu Chan.

The prince was a few years younger than himself, and he had already led the army in command, but he pretended this in his heart and became uneasy, it was too far away.

Li Hui said with a smile: "To be able to have such determination as a father is because I have confidence in Uncle. The arrangement just now is just in case. I think nothing will happen tonight. As long as I pass the night safely, I can talk to him about business tomorrow."

Then Li Yi curiously asked him why he had such confidence in this person.

Like this kind of relatives who are said to be close but separated, and said to be far but not far, how can they be relied on only by kinship?
"Your aunt, in fact, has been admired for a long time since your Majesty entered Jiameng Pass." Li Hui said, "He was originally the county magistrate of Jianling, a big county west of Dianchi Lake, why did you think he was dismissed back then? "

Li Yi shook his head, how could he remember what happened so long ago.

"It's not like talking with people all day long that 'Xuande Gongfang is the Ming Lord' and so on, and people used it as a handle to get it going." Li Hui couldn't help laughing when he thought about it, "My father was still the postal supervisor at the time, and he was also implicated. was deposed."

Li Yi didn't expect such a thing to happen.

After that, the power of the Cuan family in Yizhou County gradually declined, and was suppressed by the Huo family who actively clinged to the Yong family.

The father and son chatted for a while, and then turned off the lights early.

Nothing happened all night, Li Hui slept peacefully until the sky gradually dawned, and he knew that he had made the right bet, so he immediately went out of the house to talk to Cuan Xi about the business.

It just so happened that Cuan Xi had been waiting for him early on, and he seemed to know that he had something to say, the two of them looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.

Li Hui sat opposite Cuan Xi and said straight to the point: "Uncle, now that the Yong family and Meng Huo are in rebellion, it is a great opportunity for Uncle to make meritorious service. If you can contribute to suppressing the rebellion, the Cuan family will definitely rise. Why didn't Uncle do it earlier?" Prepare?"

"Alas." Cuan Xi sighed, "De'ang, Uncle has always treated you kindly. Nanzhong Dachao only wanted to keep Cuan's family safe, so why bother to harm Uncle?"

"Hui doesn't want Uncle to miss this golden opportunity, so how can I harm Uncle." Li Hui's face was full of sincerity.

Cuan Xi said in a low voice: "The Yong family and the Meng family have been plotting for a long time, and there is Jiang Dong's secret support behind them. Now there is Yue's Gaoding in the west, and Zhu Bao in the east, and the momentum is huge...Even if Duke Xuande is talented and general, how can Pingnan be like that?" It's easy. My Cuan family is going against the trend at this time, isn't it hitting a stone with an egg?"

"Hahahaha!" Li Hui laughed out loud, as if he had heard a big joke.

Cuan Xi saw his nephew laughing so hard that it was even out of place, he couldn't help asking: "Why is De Ang laughing? Isn't that the truth?"

Li Huiwu smiled to himself for a long while, finally managed to stop, waved his hands nonchalantly and said, "My uncle said that Yong Kai and Meng Huo and others are only suffering from ringworm and scabies. Such short-sighted people, the king and the crown prince will never be together again." You can decide. Go against the trend? Uncle, do you really see where the trend is?"

Cuan Xi frowned: "Uncle treats you honestly, why do you make such jokes?"

"Uncle, do you know that my army has divided into three routes to the south, and the momentum is like a broken bamboo. The rebels are like chickens and dogs, vulnerable?" Li Huiyao cupped his hands to the north and said seriously, "The crown prince personally led an army to attack Yizhou County. People like Yong Kai and Meng Huo, how can they resist?"

Cuan Xi was startled, and hurriedly leaned forward and asked, "Prince? But the prince who shot Lu Meng, beheaded Lu Xun, captured Xia Hou, captured Xu Huang, first settled Jingzhou, and then leveled the three counties?"

Now, under Lao Liu's deliberate promotion for his son, Liu Chan's name resounds throughout Jingyi, even as far away as Nanzhong, Cuan Xi has heard of it.

"Hehe, how many princes can the king appoint? Naturally, it is the prince Liu Gongsi." Li Hui proudly said with his chest up, feeling honored.

Cuan Xi sat back slowly, with a confused look on his face: "No, it's not long since the Yong family and Meng Huo started an incident, how could the soldiers and horses to counter the rebellion come so quickly?"

Li Hui picked up a plum and put it in his mouth, chewed and swallowed it unhurriedly, although the plum was sour, it made the mouth salivate.

Then he calmly smiled and said: "If my uncle doesn't believe it, just wait here with Hui, I believe that the crown prince will be able to capture Cunhou in a short time. It will not be too late for my uncle to make a decision at that time, so as not to say that my nephew is cheating on my uncle. How about it? Hehehe..."
