Chapter 6
Liu Chan's ambition is actually not that big.

He just wants to live happily, no one is riding on his head to shit and pee, the money is enough, and his mother can live a long and healthy life.

A few more...or a dozen confidante friends.

I'm the emperor in the future, a dozen or so shouldn't be too much... right?

He just doesn't want to be a display, a marionette manipulated, no matter whether the person who pulls the string feels love or hate for him.

But at the same time, Liu Chan's ambition is also very big, or it has to be big.

Now that he was involved in the torrent of the Three Kingdoms era and became Liu Chan again, if he didn't want to be controlled by others, he was doomed to be a wandering wild crane.

However, in the current situation, it is difficult to achieve his goal.

Needless to say, foreign aggression, Cao Wei and Hu occupy the north, with thirteen states in the world, nine of which are monopolized. If he remembers correctly, he will even re-open the Silk Road next year.

Even though Cao Wei has many internal problems, his ability to fight protractedly is not comparable to that of Ji Han who only occupies Yizhou.

Soochow, the superficial brother, is ready to backstab at any time, and the Sun Liu alliance is about to exist in name only.

Even on the inside, Ji Han can quickly turn into a mess.

Tianshi is about to leave the Liu family. If history continues on the original track, let alone the old cadres who died, even the reserves of young cadres will be squandered by Lao Liu.

Even if there is a big fire, there will not be many soldiers left in Yizhou.

Yizhou was exhausted and disadvantaged, and the four-character account exhausted the difficulties at that time.

And my own home is not big, and there are many things to do.

When watching dramas before, I only felt that Ji Han before his defeat was united as one, united as one, and factional struggles did not exist at all.

It's all to blame that Liu Adou stretched his hips too much.

But now that I have experienced it myself, I know that the situation is far from that simple.

Lao Liu's hardcore old department and the Jingzhou faction.

Liu Yan and Liu Zhang brought into Xichuan the Dongzhou faction headed by Fazheng.

There is also the Yizhou faction, a native of Xichuan who has been suppressed since Liu Yan entered Sichuan.

and ethnic minorities in the south.

Right now it looks calm, that's because of Liu Yan's suppression back then, and the absolute power of speech brought by his father Liu Bei's current strength.

Now the senior officials of Lao Liu Group are all Jingzhou faction and Dongzhou faction.

The Yizhou aristocratic family didn't dare to say it, so how could they have no idea in their hearts?
Even the Jingzhou School and the Dongzhou School are not monolithic.

In such a chaotic and severe situation, if he, Liu Chan, behaved very hip...

Even the prime minister Zhuge, the ten philosophers of the Wu Temple, has been proven by history that he has no intention of usurping the throne, and he devoted himself to the Liu family and society until he died.

Even if he has been with him for more than ten years, he is as kind as a master and apprentice, and loves him better than a father and son. The 65 favorability is the best proof.

For Lao Liu's unfulfilled ideal, the other party may still choose to make himself a mascot—a mascot that will never be wronged, strictly protected, respected and enshrined.

"Report to the young general, Nan'an County is 20 miles ahead."

Playing around in leisure time, these soldiers immediately became strict in military discipline when they had missions.

Although there is still a big gap with the No. [-] army in later generations, Liu Chan, who intends to build them in that direction, is still very satisfied with the results of the past few years.

"Okay, Li Er..." Liu Chan glanced at Hu Li who was leading the horse for him again, "Hu Li, you two will go into the city with me, and the rest will set up camp ten miles away from the city and not disturb the people."

"Yes!"

As for Lao Luo and his white vetch guards, they would naturally follow him every step of the way without special instructions.

Liu Chan has already fulfilled the agreement. I don't know if the attitude of the top person in Nan'an County will change when they meet for the second time?

……

Nan'an County is not big, and the rammed-earth city wall is no more than two meters, so casual men can easily climb into it.

This place is neither prosperous nor has any special output, it is an inconspicuous place.

No wonder Hu Li ransacked this place two years ago with just over 200 bandits.

But the county government among them is like a stand out from the crowd, stuck in the center of the county, in stark contrast with other buildings.

In the back room of the county mansion, a middle-aged man in Chinese clothes with a mustache was sitting on the couch, holding a few letters written on white silk in his hands.

Those who can write letters with silk cloth must have quite a lot of money.

In this era when cloth can be used as money, there is no difference between writing letters with it and writing words on Ruanmei coins in later generations.

Large counties are called county magistrates, and small counties are called magistrates.

The person on the couch is the parent officer of Nan'an County—Magistrate Zhang.

In front of the bed, a servant stood with his hands down.

At this time, a male voice came from outside the door to report: "My lord, Mr. Liu's Zen has arrived, and he is in the front hall at this time."

"Hmm." County Magistrate Zhang was not surprised by the news, and read the letter without changing his posture.

After putting it down casually, it seemed inappropriate, so he folded it carefully and stuffed it into his sleeve.

"You go back and tell the Patriarch, and say that this matter is of great importance, and we will discuss it later when I return to Wuyang County."

"Yes."

After finishing the arrangements in a leisurely manner, the county magistrate said in a loud voice: "Please treat me nicely, the official will come later."

……

Liu Chan sat cross-legged on the high couch in the hall, sipping tea leisurely.

This sitting posture is not proper, but it is very comfortable. Mr. Liu never sits on his knees except in front of Zhuge Liang, Lao Liu and his mother.

This is also one of the rumors about him outside, but obviously Mr. Liu doesn't care.

"This tea is really bad..." Liu Chan frowned, put the tea soup back on the low table, and quickly picked up a few green dates and stuffed them into his mouth.

As soon as the tea soup is tasted, in addition to the bitterness, there is also a strong smell of onion, ginger and oil. It is said that it is tea, and the water will not be more unpleasant than this.

The people of the Three Kingdoms make tea is really wonderful, how can anyone love to drink this kind of thing.

"Ah, the young master is coming back, and I'm not far away to welcome you. I hope you don't blame the young master, haha." The smiling Master Zhang walked quickly, and came with his hands clasped.

The words are very polite, the etiquette is in place, and there is nothing wrong with it.

For me, the second generation who has no official position, the county magistrate's attitude is enough to save face.

But...that's all.

In the template-style coping posture, there is no intimacy and awe to be seen.

If he really planned to meet him from afar, he would have known it as soon as he entered the city, so why did he sit for so long before coming out.

Of course, as a member of the Zhang family in Wuyang County, Qianwei County, and a descendant of Zhang Liang, the founding hero of the Han Dynasty, Liu Wencheng Hou.

He also has the capital to do so.

Liu Chan said with a smile: "What's the matter, Mr. Zhang has a lot of business, and it's rare to meet each other in time, so I dare to blame him."

That being said, he still sat there cross-legged and didn't stand up.

County Magistrate Zhang still smiled gracefully, as if he didn't see it, he walked over and sat on the other side.

"I don't know if the son is here to borrow food or soldiers?" After the county magistrate Zhang asked, he said proudly without waiting for Liu Chan's answer, "My son came from a long way to suppress bandits in this county and relieve the people's difficulties. , I have absolutely nothing to say!
"The Emei mountain bandits have been entrenched for a long time, and they are familiar with the terrain and occupying the terrain. Your son's crusade is not a crime of war. They will rest in this county for a while, and they will regroup in the next day. They will definitely be defeated in one battle, huh? Haha. "

As soon as the words were finished, County Magistrate Zhang changed into a sad expression again: "Young master also knows that in recent years, there have been endless conquests. Now that the cold winter has just passed, the small county of Nan'an is short of food and has insufficient soldiers. Otherwise, it would not have been harassed by the bandits back then. sweep...

"But don't worry, my son. Even if I sell my private property and slaves to recruit people for my son, I will definitely help you with all my strength, and I will never break my promise!"

Liu Chan didn't speak, just watched County Magistrate Zhang's performance with a smile.

What he said was actually quite sincere and beautiful, coupled with rich expressions and body movements.

If Liu Chan hadn't grown up under the guidance of Uncle Zhuge since he was a child, maybe he really thought that Mr. Zhang was loyal to his old Liu family, and he was a figure of loyalty.

No matter how beautiful the words are, there is actually only one central idea.

Are you deflated?The last time I came here, I was so good at bragging. I brought 500 people into the mountains to suppress the bandits. I didn’t listen to my advice. Isn’t it awesome now?

Straighten your attitude, I, Mr. Zhang, will help you naturally because of the face of General Zuo Liu Bei.

This is probably what county magistrate Zhang wanted to express under the table.

Even Liu Chan felt that there might be another layer of meaning—Yizhou is the Yizhou of Yizhou people, and your old Liu family lacks the support of our Yizhou family... No way!
Liu Chan returned a more sincere smile than County Magistrate Zhang, waved his hand and said, "Hey, it's just a bandit from Emei Mountain, why bother Mr. Zhang to help you with money?"

After finishing speaking, he pointed to Hu Li standing beside him.

"This is the bandit leader of Mount Emei, who has surrendered with his troops, together with my trilogy, there are more than a thousand people, and he is setting up camp ten miles outside the city.

"Master Zhang only needs to provide us with food, grass, clothing, etc. as agreed. We will set off for Chengdu in a few days."

Hearing this, Mr. Zhang, who has always done a good job of managing his expressions, finally became stiff at this moment...
