Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

At this moment, Zhao Yun, who had high hopes from Li Ji, rushed almost day and night along the way, and finally arrived in Yizhou to meet Liu Yan.

Zhao Yun knew that he was not an eloquent person, so after revealing his identity to Liu Yan, he personally handed over the bamboo slips sealed with mud and left.

Liu Yan, who was now the shepherd of Yizhou and a real official in the border area, took the bamboo slip and did not open it in a hurry. Instead, he thought about Li Ji's intention first.

Liu Yan was naturally deeply impressed by Li Ji, and even fell in love with talents many times.

And when Liu Yan heard that Li Ji would be summoned to the court by the emperor, Liu Yan specially sent an envoy to Wu County to congratulate Li Ji, in order to leave more goodwill.

Perhaps, after Li Ji enters the court, that good fate will play an unexpected role.

It's a pity that Xiao Huangmen, who went to declare the edict, accidentally seriously injured Li Ji with his scepter. This turned out to be a joke that shocked the court.

Afterwards, the emperor forcibly suppressed the joke, and while he dealt with the little Huangmen secretly, he also ignored the matter of announcing Li Ji's entry into the court.

At least, during the current emperor's reign, Li Ji obviously has no possibility of being reused.

Perhaps Li Ji did not make any mistakes in this process, and even maintained the scepter that represented the face of the emperor and the Han Dynasty in a sense, but as long as Li Ji entered the court, people would think that there was a small yellow gate. The joke about hitting someone with a stick.

Therefore, Liu Yan knew very well that with the power of the emperor today, he would never tolerate Li Ji appearing in his court.

Perhaps it's ridiculous, even Liu Yan knew that Li Ji had the talent to govern the country, but the emperor's personal likes and dislikes completely cut off Li Ji's future promotion possibilities.

But this is officialdom and politics.

But what made Liu Yan a little confused was that Li Ji would actually take the initiative to contact him with a secret message...

If it is said that Liu Yan was just a county guard before, Li Ji ignored him, but now that Liu Yangui is the prefecture shepherd, Li Ji is no longer able to reach a high level, that is far from being considered.

Liu Yan was well aware that Li Ji's contribution to his role as a state shepherd and the military and political power of 12 counties and 118 towns in Yizhou was indispensable, and it was even entirely due to Li Ji's guidance.

But when Liu Yan truly secured his position as Yizhou's pastor and took control of a series of top-down military affairs in Yizhou, he realized that it was not true that Yizhou was called the "Land of Abundance" in "Warring States Policy·Qin Ceyi". Virtual.

The registered household population in Yizhou is as high as 7.2 million. If we count the black households hidden by aristocratic families and a considerable number of foreigners hidden in the mountains and forests, Liu Yan judged that the population of Yizhou is definitely 800. More than ten thousand.

"Is it because my nephew Xuande couldn't keep Mr. Zikun's official career, and Mr. Zikun was so disappointed that he wanted to switch to my house?"

Liu Yan scratched his beard and couldn't help but look forward to it.

Liu Xuande is a member of the Han clan, and I am also a member of the Han clan;

Liu Xuande is the governor of a county, but I am the governor of a state.

"It seems that after all, I have shown my kindness many times before and finally made Mr. Zikun understand that the Ming Lord is in Shu and not in Wu..."

Liu Yan said proudly, while he opened the mud seal on the bamboo slips, spread them out and took a first look.

[May I ask Liu Shijun whether he wants to be the king? Split the land in the middle of Shu, occupy the kingdom of Tianfu, and become a prince...]

In an instant, Liu Yan's expression suddenly changed. He instinctively closed the bamboo slips in his hands and scanned his surroundings like lightning. The two maids who were waiting beside him were so frightened that they quickly knelt on the ground.

Liu Yan's originally tense expression softened and he said warmly.

"The ground is cold, please get up."

"Yes."

The two maids heard this and stood up quickly.

Liu Yan looked at the two maids beside him and asked casually. "What did you see on the bamboo slips just now?"

"No...no..."

One of the maids replied still nervously.

Another maid said. "I, I can't read."

"I see, but..."

Liu Yan's originally gentle voice changed, and he suddenly shouted loudly and said.

"Somebody come!"

Immediately, the personal guards who were originally guarding outside the house rushed in.

Liu Yan glanced at the two maids who were frozen in place with cold eyes, and said.

"Pull it down, gag it, and kill it with a stick!"

In an instant, the blood on the faces of the two maids faded away, and they quickly knelt down and begged for mercy again.

"Spare my life!"

"No, I..."

But before the two maids could continue to speak, the wolf-like personal guards blocked their mouths and forcibly dragged the two delicate maids down.

As two dull and cracking sounds were heard outside the house, Liu Yanfang hid the bamboo slips in his sleeves and walked out with his hands behind his back. He glanced at the two maids who had made no sound, and then returned to the house. And no one is allowed to get close.

It was only then that Liu Yanfang carefully took out the bamboo slips again and slowly spread them out...

[May I ask Liu Shijun whether he wants to be the king? 】

Seeing the first question again, Liu Yan felt his heart beating wildly.

king!
Then, Liu Yan continued to spread out the bamboo slips and continued to look back.

What Li Ji described in the bamboo slips was not complicated. Except for the first question, the rest was about Liu Yan's origins and Liu Yan's current situation.

Perhaps Liu Yangui is now the state pastor of a state, holding military and political power, but his background in the court is not stable, and as the first state pastor in the Han Dynasty, Liu Yan has undoubtedly become a thorn in the flesh of many people.

There are definitely not a few people who are interested in the position of Yizhou Mu. [Now Liu Shijun is the pastor of Yizhou. If you don't advance, you will retreat. However, if you step back half a step without the power to protect you, you may not be able to find a place to live in the future. Thinking of the old friendship, I hereby tell you...]

Li Ji's words in the bamboo slips were quite euphemistic, but Liu Yan seemed to understand his fate.

Once the position of Yizhou Mu is replaced by others, and Liu Yan does not go further to the court, then the new Yizhou Mu will definitely not end up much better in order to gather power.

It should be noted that Li Ji knew very well what would happen to Han Fu after Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou in the original trajectory...

It was not enough to turn Han Fu into a puppet. In the end, Han Fu died in the toilet.

Liu Yan may not have learned anything from the past, but his political sense undoubtedly made Liu Yan understand that his situation at the cusp of the wave was not safe.

More importantly, the story in the bamboo slips about Yizhou Mu's attempt to tear apart the earth and seal the king made Liu Yan's heart beat even more, and he felt his mouth was dry and he couldn't help himself.

Most men can't resist sex...

And ever since Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted, "Princes, generals, ministers, and ministers have the right to be kind", not many men can be unfazed by the word "king".

Liu Yan just held the bamboo slip tightly, sat in the room and fell into deep thought for a long time.

It wasn't until there was a sound outside the house that I felt that several hours had passed by in such a blink of an eye, and my back was already wet with sweat.

"Why are you stopping me? Don't you know me, Liu Jiyu?"

"Sir, this is the Lord's order. No one is allowed to come near."

"Am I not even allowed?"

Just when Liu Zhang seemed to mutter something, and then seemed to be ready to turn around and leave.

Liu Yan's voice suddenly came out in the room.

"Zhang'er, come in."

"Yes, father."

Liu Zhang responded, then carefully opened the door and walked in.

Liu Yan looked at Liu Zhang's respectful and careful look, and after thinking a few thoughts in his mind, he spoke.

"Close the door."

"Yes."

Liu Zhang quickly turned around and closed the door, then carefully walked to Liu Yan and knelt down.

"Zhang'er, what's the important thing for you to come here?"

Liu Zhang replied carefully. "It's just a small matter. If my father is busy with something important, please step aside and bring it up another day."

Liu Yan did not speak, but stared at the young son in front of him who usually seemed a bit dull.

Compared with Liu Zhang's three elder brothers, Liu Zhang's talents and abilities are not as good as those of Liu Zhang. However, Liu Zhang's character is quite pure and filial. Therefore, Liu Yan also likes Liu Zhang very much and often takes Liu Zhang with him.

Being stared at by Liu Yan who seemed to be probing and measuring something, Liu Zhang couldn't help but feel nervous, sweating all over his body, and he didn't dare to raise his head and look directly at Liu Yan.

After a while, Liu Yan spoke slowly. "Zhang'er, my father has a question for you."

"Father, please speak."

Liu Yan stared at Liu Zhang closely and said. "If all three of your brothers die, what will you do?"

In an instant, Liu Zhang instinctively raised his head and his eyes met Liu Yan unconsciously, with shock and ecstasy flashing in his eyes.

Then, Liu Zhang hurriedly knelt down again and said.

"The three brothers are all in Luoyang now. Who under the Emperor dares to harm the three brothers? Even if someone wants to harm the three brothers, the three brothers have their own destiny, and it is expected that they will avert danger."

"What would you do if all three of your brothers died?" Liu Yan asked again.

Liu Zhang felt that his heart was beating wildly, and even his breathing couldn't help but become a little erratic.

This assumption, this possibility...

Only if Liu Yan rebelled and the court directly ordered the execution of Liu Yan's three sons who stayed in Luoyang would it be possible.

And if the three brothers die, everything about my father will be mine.

Liu Zhang's face still remained somewhat dull, and then he kowtowed to Liu Yan. "Zhang'er should bear the filial piety of his three elder brothers and remain filial to his father for the rest of his life."

"If my father asked you to die together, would Zhang'er be willing?" Liu Yan narrowed his eyes and asked again.

At this moment, Liu Zhang still didn't understand what Liu Yan meant, so he answered without hesitation.

"Zhang'er will die before his father."

"it is good!"

Liu Yan touched Liu Zhang's head with one hand and spoke warmly. "Zhang'er, the ground is cold, please get up and talk."

"Yes."

Liu Zhang quickly got up and served Liu Yan in a well-behaved manner.

Liu Yan handed the bamboo slips he was holding tightly to Liu Zhang and said.

"Please look at this, Zhang'er."
