Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 257 Zhang Wen, Doomed to Fail...?

This was the first time Liu Chan saw Zhang Wen, and he saw a middle-aged man with a personable and handsome appearance walking into the hall calmly.

"Yi Lang, Zhang Wen and Zhang Huishu, have met the King of Hanzhong." The man bowed and cupped his hands, showing all the courtesy.

Liu Bei's expression was slightly cold and he said: "Zhang Yilang has come from afar, please take a seat. I have ordered someone to prepare a banquet to welcome you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Wen looked up at Liu Chan again, "This must be the Crown Prince?"

"Exactly." Liu Chan looked at this person and nodded in response.

Zhang Wen cupped his hands and said: "I have heard for a long time that the prince of Hanzhong is both wise and brave, and a young talent. It is really a blessing to meet you today."

"Zhang Yilang deserves the award."

After Liu Bei's introduction, Zhang Wen met with the officials again, and then sat down at the table as instructed.

After a while, waiters came in one after another carrying large and small bowls and plates, exquisite pastries, seasonal fruits and vegetables, fragrant meats, plump river seafood, fine wines...

The glamorous dancers came afterward, dancing gracefully with the sound of silk and bamboo, although not energetic enough, it was still refreshing.

During the banquet, Zhang Wen was the first to toast, and he still maintained his grace while exchanging cups with the monarchs and ministers of Sichuan.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

"I have heard for a long time that the products in Sichuan are rich, the people are outstanding, and today I know what I said is true." Zhang Wen looked at the delicious food, wine, and music in front of him, and looked around at the good ministers and generals in admiration.

Liu Bei said politely: "Jiangdong has always been rich and prosperous, and there are many outstanding people in the tent. Zhang Yilang is too famous."

However, he still had that neither salty nor bland look, with an unclear attitude.

Sun Quan's surprise attack on Jingzhou was so dishonest that he almost killed his second brother and son, and he still has a lump in his heart.

Before he was a monarch, Lao Liu considered himself an elder brother.

When it comes to the safety of brothers, it is often difficult to control yourself.

Zhang Wen smiled on his face, but secretly sighed in his heart. Nowadays, many good generals have died and the people are exhausted, but they are not as good as before.

It's just that the idea of ​​exposing the hole card is naturally impossible to show.

After talking about the scene, Liu Bei waved his hand, and the dancers retreated one after another.

"Zhang Yilang came all the way and I don't know why?"

Zhang Wen straightened his expression, cupped his hands and replied, "It's specially for my family, Sun Liu, to repair it."

"Hmph! If your lord hadn't backed the alliance and made a sneak attack first, the two families would have been on good terms. How can you come to see your majesty today!" A loud voice suddenly shouted.

Zhang Wen felt embarrassed. He knew that someone would mention this, but it happened that the matter was not open to debate... He followed the sound and saw that the person speaking was a sharp-edged man.

"I don't know what's next?" Zhang Wen didn't get angry, and said in a harmonious voice.

Huang Quan clasped his fists together: "I'm Huang Quan, Huang Gongheng, and I'm working in the administration of Yizhou."

No matter Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Fazheng and other high-ranking officials, they all watched with cold eyes.

Naturally, Liu Chan didn't say a word, and like Lao Liu, he neither helped nor stopped him. He ate and drank on his own, as if he didn't hear him.

He knew in his heart that if Soochow wanted to talk about it, the Jingzhou matter could not be bypassed, so this matter had to be mentioned.

Back then, your master just played such a trick when he formed an alliance, and now he wants to rebuild the old one without giving an explanation. How can it be so simple, what if you sneak attack again?

But these words cannot come out of his or Lao Liu's mouth, otherwise if the situation is too rigid, there will be no way out.

Naturally, Huang Quan saw it clearly, so he took the initiative to sing this white face.

Zhang Wen knew that the Jingzhou matter was indisputable, and he didn't want to get entangled in it, so he said: "The crown prince has negotiated with my lord on behalf of the King of Hanzhong, and Jiangdong has also ceded land for compensation.

"Nowadays the great enemy is at hand, and all parts of the north are falsely reporting auspiciousness, fearing to replace the Han. If the two families fight again, it is really unwise."

He avoided the cause of the matter, and only talked about the result. It is really impossible to say the cause, and the more he talked, the more passive he became.Huang Quan sneered: "Hmph, why wasn't the enemy in front of us? If your lord took advantage of the situation and took Hefei, then the cooperation between our two families might have forced Cao Wei to relocate his capital!

"Cao Wei's country is unstable and people's minds are changing. How can he, Cao Pi, have the courage to replace the Han Dynasty? With Xiangfan and Hefei in our hands, there is a lot to do. How can the situation be like today?!"

"This..." Zhang Wen couldn't say it because he had said these words thousands of times in his heart, but he couldn't help it.

Zhuge Liang saw that Zhang Wen probably didn't intend to put on a show, so he immediately smiled and said: "Hey~ Gongheng, even if Zhang Yilang has the intention to do so, how can he act on behalf of his master, so don't embarrass him anymore."

Zhang Wen took out his handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and saluted Zhuge Liang, deeply moved by his rescue.

Liu Chan said calmly at this time: "May I ask, sir, if you really want to cultivate, should you stop hostile behavior?"

Zhang Wen nodded and said, "That's natural."

"Shouldn't there be some conspiracy and tricks behind the scenes to stir up chaos within the other party?" Liu Chan said and stood up.

At this time, Zhang Wen could hear something in Liu Chan's words, which meant something.

But this matter can only pretend to be confused, and he can't admit it even if he is killed. Once admitted, the nature of the problem will change.

"That, that's natural." Zhang Wen started sweating again.

With his hands behind his back, Liu Chan slowly walked up to Zhang Wen: "Shouldn't it be even more wrong to aid the rebel forces and intend to kill people with a knife?"

Zhang Wen looked up at the young man, feeling a sudden increase in pressure, and didn't dare to move: "Yes..."

Liu Chan took out a letter, bent down and patted it on the case in front of Zhang Wen, and sneered: "Can Zhang Yilang explain to me what this letter means?"

Zhang Wen picked it up and saw that it was Sun Quan's reply letter to Yong Kai, in which he promised to be the prefect of Yongchang.

He was already sweating profusely, but he still bit the bullet and said: "Ah, the prince misunderstood this matter. That Yong Kai said that he wanted to submit to the imperial court. As a loyal minister of the imperial court, the lord felt that it was a good thing for Nanman to submit to the imperial court. Therefore, agree.

"There has been no prefect in Yongchang County for a long time, and Yong Kai is in Nanzhong. Since the other party wants to join him, it is just to appease him and make him the frontier of the imperial court forever..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Wen's expression changed, and he said coldly: "How do you know that his attachment is false, and his intention to use the name of Soochow to rebel is true! This is a plan to lure disaster to the east, and his heart can be punished! The prince must not Fall in this trick!"

Liu Chan wanted to laugh a little, but he changed his mind about this piece of Wen, you are really round, and you can come back round.

After Zhang Wen finished speaking, he knew he could no longer remain passive. He stood up, took a few steps forward, bowed to Liu Bei and said:
"Your Majesty's benevolence spreads widely, and the world respects him. His virtuous ministers assist the government, and his stars are shining brightly. He is admired by everyone from far and near. He wants to be with the Han Dynasty. My Lord General Sun is dedicated to stabilizing the south of the Yangtze River for the imperial court. I hope to help the Han Dynasty with the King and work together. Conspiring with the same rules is like a river without turning back.

"It's just because Cao Wei is powerful and Jiangdong has few soldiers, so it's just a lot of patience, so Wen Tong is here to show kindness. Your Majesty respects Li, and you should not be ashamed of this and ignore the benefits of Sun Liu's repair.

"Wen traveled all the way from west to west, and was frequently received with special ceremonies. Wen Shourong was apprehensive, and deeply felt the benevolence of the king. I also hope that the king will put the overall situation first, and don't let the thieves benefit!"

These remarks are extremely low-key, and although there are sophistry, the sincerity can be heard in the hope that the Sun and Liu families will fight against Cao together.

Liu Bei couldn't help but feel moved. Cao Pi's series of actions were obviously intended to usurp the throne, and he was probably very close. It would not be a bad thing if the relationship between them could be eased.

Liu Chan saw what his father meant, but after reading the script, he knew that this man could not be Sun Quan's boss at all, and it was not appropriate to agree to anything at this time.

Seeing the wink from his son, Lao Liu also reacted, and said lightly: "I believe in your sincerity, but the Sun and Liu families have today because I am not here."

Zhang Wen bowed to the ground, and solemnly said: "Wen returns to Jiangdong, and will try his best to persuade my lord, after rebuilding Sun Liu, watch and help each other, and help the Han Dynasty together!"

Zhuge Liang said with a smile at this time: "In this case, Mr. Lao will spend a lot of time explaining the benefits and harms for General Sun, and don't do any more unwise actions."

"Wen Zidang will do his best to facilitate this."

What Zhang Wen said was the truth. He sincerely believed that there was no future for surrendering to Cao Wei. The road to Shu was difficult to attack, so Cao Wei would not risk his life to fill it.

It can only be forced to attack Shu from the east of the Yangtze River, but based on what we have seen this time, how can Bashu be so easy to fight?
In the end, Sun Liukong had water and Lu Tianchao, but he killed each other and hurt both sides, so that Cao Wei benefited.

Liu Chan also believed that he was telling the truth, but as long as history does not change, this person is doomed to fail.

What's more, Sun Quan still owes him an explanation for the Nanzhong matter, and it can't be just a matter of two sentences.

It's just... the changes in history, are there still few?
