Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 3 Golden Sword Liu

Xu Meng didn't hear the answer he wanted. He only heard the words spoken by the young man opposite him. It was like a pool of ice water pouring on his inner fire. It was already summer, but he felt like he had been kicked. Entering the cold winter season, the sky falls into a world of ice and fire.

"There are many Lius in the world, and Liu is the one with the golden sword."

Liu Zhang's few words killed the luck in Xu Meng's heart.

People from Jingling, Jiangxia, their birthplaces match, Jindao Liu, their surnames match, Liu Zhang and Liu Jiyu, their names and characters match.

Xu Meng had a bitter expression on his face. If he had known that he would not go out when he heard the crow this morning, it would be so unlucky that he would get into trouble with his new immediate boss, Liu Zhang.Today's state pastors are like the princes and kings of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. They have great power in their own territories and must not be offended.

Gan Ning, who was beside Liu Zhang, widened his eyes and looked a little surprised. He did not expect that this young master who shared his heroic spirit turned out to be Liu Jiyu, Liu Shijun.

Suddenly Gan Ning secretly thought something bad and his expression became awkward. Liu Zhang knew his last name, so he wouldn't know what he was doing in Bajun.

When he was young, he was a good ranger and did a lot of ridiculous things in the local area. It was only after his mother persuaded him that he read some books and studied the theories of various schools of thought. Thinking of making a difference, he entered the official career, starting from planning. , and gradually rose to become the county magistrate of Shu.

Thinking of this, he became a little embarrassed. He hoped that Liu Shijun didn't know what happened when he was young, and his title when he was young - Jinfan Thief.

At this time, a middle-aged man led a group of Eredivisie soldiers holding halberds to push away the gathering crowd.

Liu Zhang recognized the middle-aged man as Pang Jing, the chief minister of the Prefectural Mufu Mansion. He had a thin face, sharp eyes, and a beard on his chin, which was trimmed short and evenly.

Pang Jing saw that Liu Zhang was safe and sound, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Zhang traveled incognito. In addition to following four personal guards closely, he also sent several fine men to follow him in case of accidents.

A quarter of an hour ago, someone reported that the Dongzhou soldiers were causing trouble, and he rushed over immediately.

After bowing his hands and saluting Liu Zhang, he looked at Xu Meng. As the head of the Prefecture Mufu, he came to Yizhou in the fifth year of Zhongping, so he naturally recognized Xu Meng.

The middle-aged man spoke in a uniquely mellow voice, with a hint of oppression: "Xu Ziyu, you are so brave, how dare you bully me."

The appearance of Pang Jing made Xu Meng completely convinced of Liu Zhang's identity. He recognized the head of the Prefecture Mufu.

It was really Liu Zhang and Liu Jiyu, the newly appointed Yizhou Mu. Xu Meng was extremely heartbroken. The Dongzhou people could survive in Yizhou only because Yizhou Mu was on their side and indulged them.

Although there are many clouds in the sky, there is only one cloud above the heads of Dongzhou people, and that is Yizhou Mu-Liu Shijun.

As a Dongzhou native, he had offended his immediate boss in public, and he was afraid that he would end badly. He just hoped to save his family.

Xu Meng accepted his fate, straightened up his appearance, and knelt down with the four younger brothers behind him to apologize: "Captain Xu Meng, courtesy name Ziyu, I pay my respects to Commander Liu. I don't want to offend Commander Liu today. It will be a death penalty."

Liu Zhang was a little surprised that Ziyu, the bearded man opposite him, named Xu Meng, actually had such an elegant name.

As the old saying goes, a humble gentleman is as gentle as jade, but this person's temperament is not gentle at all.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Zhang spoke up: "In the past, when my great ancestor Emperor Gao entered Guanzhong, he made a three-part agreement with the people of Guanzhong. Those who kill will die, and those who hurt others and steal will be punished."

"So Lieutenant Xu, you are guilty, but the crime is not worthy of death. If you did something wrong while we were marching, I would have you killed according to military law. But on ordinary days, I will punish you."

Liu Zhang did not want to kill people at will. Killing people would not solve any problems, and Xu Meng's crime was not punishable by death.

Moreover, Liu Zhang also had to rely on the Dongzhou people, but he would never win over people's hearts by indulging the Dongzhou people to oppress the Shu people like Liu Yan. He would use rewards and punishments to restrain the Dongzhou people and make the Dongzhou people return to him.

Dongzhou people will be of great use to him in the future.

And he said earlier that the people of Yizhou are the parents of Dongzhou people, so how can children bully their parents?He was keenly aware of the guilty look on Xu Meng's face, indicating that this man was not hopeless.

Liu Zhang gave Xu Meng's verdict. He said to Xu Meng and others: "When you return to the camp, each of you will receive thirty military staffs."

At the same time, he warned Xu Meng: "Don't cause trouble in the future." Xu Meng was overjoyed to have escaped the disaster. Thirty military sticks were nothing to him, so he immediately thanked him: "Xu Meng accepted the punishment and will never do it again in the future. "

After giving these Dongzhou people a slap in the face, Liu Zhang decided to give them some sweet dates, carrots and sticks, which would be the most reliable.

"A real man should serve the country, not bully the old, young, women and children. Go back and practice martial arts diligently, Xu Ziyu, you don't want to stay in Shu all your life."

"If the situation changes, I will take you back to Guanzhong."

Liu Zhang drew a big cake and promised to take the Dongzhou people home. No one could resist the temptation to go home.

Xu Meng was a little stunned when he heard Liu Zhang's words, and then his eyes turned red.

There are fine wines in Sichuan, and there are stunning Shu brocades, but in his heart, after all, they are not as good as Guanzhong, nor as good as the water, wine and linen clothes of his hometown.

A person who is in chaos is like a dog that has lost its home and tastes nothing. Sometimes when he looks at the moon in Sichuan, he feels that it is not as round as the one in Guanzhong.

Xu Meng's voice was choked with sobs as he expressed his sincere thanks and made a true man's promise: "If this is the case, Meng will only obey your orders from now on and will not have any second thoughts. Heaven and earth can learn from this."

Liu Zhang nodded, lifted Xu Meng up with his own hands, and received his first loyal surrender in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Gan Ning on one side listened to Liu Zhang's words and half-closed his eyes in thought.
-
At this moment, Tian Zheng, the commander of Chengdu City, finally rushed over. Before he could reach Liu Zhang, a voice came over, shouting: "Is it okay, your Majesty, is it okay?"

Tian Zheng's words were filled with tension. As the city magistrate of Chengdu, he was in charge of the Chengdu market, and any conflicts and contradictions that occurred in the market were under his management.

When he heard that the Dongzhou soldiers were causing trouble, he did not rush over. This was because he could not control the small city orders of the Dongzhou soldiers. The Dongzhou soldiers relied on Liu Yan's blessing to behave indulgently, and he could not control them. If If you rush forward, you might even get beaten severely.

Therefore, Tian Zheng was still happily drinking a small drink in the government office and did not touch the Dongzhou soldiers. Everyone was in peace and was just suffering for the people of Yizhou.

But when he heard that the one who had a conflict with the Dongzhou soldiers was the new Commander Liu, he immediately led his people to run over. That was Commander Liu. Now that the world is in chaos, Commander Liu is the local emperor of Yizhou, and he can decide life and death with one word. .

Tian Zheng came to Liu Zhang, saluted and stood aside to wait for punishment. Sweat dripped from his forehead, and he kept wiping his round and fat face with silk in his little hand.

Liu Zhang looked at Shi Ling, who was as tall as a basketball. He could smell the smell of wine lees on his body from a distance. Tian Zheng, who was in the popular position of Shi Ling, was almost a ball.

He couldn't help but shook his head. No one was perfect, and it didn't matter if he was greedy, but he couldn't just ignore the work he was supposed to do and ignore everything he was supposed to do.

However, he knew that this was also due to his father Liu Yankuan's manipulation of the Dongzhou people, so Tian Zheng did not care about it, nor did he dare to care about it. However, this reason cannot be said. The son hides from his father, and the father hides from his son. In this era, being a son Yes, you can't publicize your father's faults.

He gave Tian Zheng's punishment: "As a city magistrate, there is something wrong in the market, but you drink and cause trouble. I will confiscate your salary for three months."

Tian Zheng obeyed and accepted the punishment. Three months' salary was nothing to him.

After sending Xu Meng and his party away, Tian Zheng was also dealt with, and the matter was resolved satisfactorily.

"Mingshijun."

The happiest people were undoubtedly the people of Yizhou who were watching. The newly appointed Yizhou Shepherd seemed to be a fair and just person and would not let the people of Dongzhou bully them. With a grateful heart, they shouted "Ming Envoy Lord" and added "Ming Envoy Lord" in front of him. The words above express respect and prostrate oneself.

Liu Zhang looked around at the people of Yizhou who were still gathering, and said loudly: "Elders, please rise."

The people stood up after listening to Liu Zhang's words, and then Liu Zhang made a promise to a group of Yizhou elders: "Zhang is not talented. He was promoted to Yizhou Shepherd. He will serve fairly and without bias. Please rest assured, all elders."

"Mingshijun."

The Yizhou elders who were watching shouted loudly to Mingshijun again, and they knelt down to worship.
