Soldiers come to the world

The news of Sima Yi's assassination made Liu Zhang extremely shocked. He rushed to the expensive hotel as quickly as possible. At this time, the expensive hotel was under strict protection by two thousand soldiers, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. .

In the yard, nearly a hundred guards were checking the surroundings, including the soil under the big tree where the assassin was hiding, which had been turned upside down, as if the assassin would hide some important clues under the big tree, and even the thick branches had been turned upside down. The felling was clean, but the guards got nothing.

In the room, surrounded by more than a dozen guards, Liu Zhang stared at the dead assassin with a gloomy face. At this time, a guard who was watching the assassin stepped forward and whispered something in Liu Zhang's ear, and Liu Zhang's eyes suddenly shot. Showing embarrassment, the assassin's identity was obviously recognized.

At this time, Sima Yi walked into the room and said coldly: "Can Zhou Mu give me an explanation, who wants to put me to death? Besides, who sent someone to watch me outside the building? I hope Zhou Mu can be fair. deal with."

Liu Zhang looked a little embarrassed, and said after a while, "Mr. Sima, please don't worry. Chengdu is not a place where you can come here indiscriminately. I will definitely give you an explanation."

His eyes fell on Guan Cheng, and he shouted angrily, "You damn guy, what's the use of keeping you? Go out and kill me."

Several guards rushed forward like wolves and tigers, grabbed Guan Cheng and left. Guan Cheng was frightened out of his wits and begged loudly: "The villain is guilty, please spare my life! Zhou Mu, spare my life!"

Sima Yi said coldly: "Is it possible to explain to Jingzhou after killing a Guan Cheng?"

Liu Zhang's face turned red and turned pale, and after a while he shouted again: "Spare his life, give me another fifty blows!"

The guards arrested Guan Cheng, and then Liu Zhang sincerely said to Sima Yi: "Please rest assured, military commander, I promise that this kind of thing will not happen again."

Sima Yi shook his head, "It's not a question of whether there will be another time. I will report this assassination to my lord. I have decided to return to Jingzhou tomorrow, so please give me a clear answer from the state shepherd before noon tomorrow. Will I send troops to Hanzhong? "

Liu Zhangnai had no choice but to agree, "Okay! Before noon tomorrow, I will give Sima an answer."

Two maids carried lanterns and led Liu Xun through the corridor with a heavy heart, all the way to Liu Zhang's outer study. The maid stopped and said to Liu Xun, "Master is waiting in the room, please come in, my lord!"

Liu Xun walked into the room, and saw his father standing in front of the map with his hands behind his back, staring at the map on the wall with a livid face. Liu Xun felt uneasy, and quickly knelt down and said, "My child sees my father!"

"Look at what you've done, you're really capable!" Liu Zhang said coldly without looking back.

Cold sweat broke out on Liu Xun's forehead, and he whispered, "My boy just wanted to know who was secretly dealing with Sima Yi, so he sent someone to monitor him."

"Surveillance?"

Liu Zhang sneered, "Will rushing into his room with a sword be called surveillance?"

"My child doesn't understand what my father is talking about?" Liu Xun lowered his head guiltily.

Liu Zhang was furious immediately, turned around and slapped him hard, kicked Liu Xun to the ground, pointed at him and cursed: "You are such a coward, how dare you argue! That assassin is not Did you appoint it? You think I don't recognize him?"

Liu Xun was so frightened that he trembled all over. He didn't dare to deny it any more, kowtowed and said in a crying voice, "My son knows his mistake! Father calm down, my son confesses!"

Liu Zhang was so angry that his chest heaved violently. He stared at his son for a while, and finally held back his breath and asked, "Who told you to do this, Yin Ming?"

Liu Xun shook his head again and again, "He even objected to monitoring Sima Yi. How could he send Wang Yi to assassinate him? In fact, I don't understand. I just ordered Wang Yi to go to the inner courtyard to monitor Sima Yi, and didn't let him be an assassin. Why did he do it without authorization? Rushed in, father, my boy really doesn't want to kill Sima Yi, it will give Liu Jing a chance to attack Bashu, my boy is really at a loss."

"Hmph! How dare you deny it? Then Wang Yi has been with you for ten years and was once your personal bodyguard. Do you think I'm a stupid pig?" [

Liu Zhang didn't believe his son's argument at all. Wang Yi was dead anyway, and it was the easiest thing to assign responsibility to the dead. Liu Zhang knew that his eldest son was generous on the surface, but in fact he liked to play tricks secretly. He already believed that Liu Xun did it.

"Why didn't you report this to me in advance? Tell me! What else did you do without telling me?"

The more Liu Zhang thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help roaring. This is the most taboo thing for him. His son did this kind of thing without authorization, just like he also admitted that once Sima Yi had troubles in Bashu, Liu Jing would seize the opportunity and take advantage of it. Send troops to Yizhou to question the crime, what can I use to resist?

Liu Zhang hated him so much, he swung his arm again, and slapped his son twice. Blood flowed from the corner of Liu Xun's mouth, and he dared not move. Liu Zhang yelled, "Get out! Get out!"

Liu Xun wiped away his tears, slowly got up and retreated.

Liu Zhang was pacing back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. He was very irritable. This unexpected assassination gave Sima Yi an excuse. He was going to leave Chengdu and return to Jingzhou tomorrow, which made him very passive. He had to give an answer before noon tomorrow. How should he answer?He still hasn't made up his mind.

At the same time, he also wanted to explain to Jingzhou, who sent the assassin?This is not just about Sima Yi himself. Sima Yi is representing Jingzhou. His assassination is a major event between Yizhou and Jingzhou. He has to give Jingzhou an explanation. Even if Sima Yi is not dead, Jingzhou can take it. To make a fuss about this matter, they sent troops to Yizhou to "force" them to hand over the murderer.

In fact, Liu Jing has already caught the handle, and Sima Yi's meaning is already very clear. If he does not answer the Hanzhong matter at noon tomorrow, then the Jingzhou Army will send troops to question the crime.

Liu Zhang sighed for a long time, how could his eldest son be so stupid, can he really hand over Yizhou to him?

At this time, a guard reported outside the door: "Speak to Zhou Mu, Huang Biejia urgently asks to see you!"

Huang Quan came just in time, and Liu Zhang was looking for him, Liu Zhang nodded, "Please come in!"

After a while, Huang Quan hurried in. He bowed and saluted, "My minister sees Zhou Mu!"

"Do you know about Sima Yi's assassination?" Liu Zhang asked with a sigh.

"Wei Chen just heard that who did this? This is a big matter for bad state pastoral care!" Huang Quan pretended to be resentful.

"Hmph! It's my unworthy fool who still doesn't admit it."

Huang Quan was stunned and didn't say a word for a long while. Liu Zhang glanced at him and said with a wry smile, "You didn't expect that! The person who will inherit Yizhou Mu in the future is so short-sighted, so bold, and so disappointing to me!"

Liu Zhang used three "so" in a row to show that he was really disappointed with his son to the extreme. Huang Quan was secretly pleased that Liu Zhang really believed that Liu Xun did a good thing, but Huang Quan did not dare to express his opinion and remained silent.

"Why don't you speak?" Liu Zhang gave him a strange look.

"I don't know what to say. After all, this is the family affairs of the state shepherd. It's not for the minister to judge."

Liu Zhang nodded. This answer satisfied him, and he suddenly asked, "What urgent matter do you need to find me?"

Huang Quan quickly bowed and said: "Weichen just got the news from Hanzhong that Zhang Lu sent another 3 troops to Shangyong and Hanshui to defend against the attack of the Jingzhou army. There are only a few thousand people left in Zheng Cheng's army, Zhou Mu, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Liu Zhang's eyes lit up, this is indeed an opportunity, but then his eyes dimmed, and he sighed: "I have already decided to send troops to Hanzhong, now I am in a dilemma, should I take Hanzhong for myself, or hand it over to Liu Zhang?" Jing?"

Huang Quan said with a dark smile: "Zhou Mu, this matter is actually very simple. After we occupy Hanzhong, we will ask the court for instructions. If the imperial court orders Zhou Mu to lead Hanzhong, then Zhou Mu can give Liu Jing an explanation. Tell him to go to the imperial court, and as long as the imperial court agrees to give him Hanzhong, we will immediately withdraw our troops."

Liu Zhang nodded. This was actually just an excuse. He was even more worried that Liu Jing would become angry and attack Bashu aggressively. He bowed his head in thought and didn't say a word for a long time.

Huang Quan understood his worries, and persuaded him: "State Mu, I think about it, Cao Cao will never let Liu Jing seize Bashu, we might as well ask Cao Cao for help, I think Cao Cao will never sit idly by, as long as Liu Jing If you dare to send troops to Bashu, Cao's army will surely press southward, and we have occupied Hanzhong, if Liu Jing sends troops to build peace, we will send troops from Shangyong to Xiangyang, and cooperate with Cao's army to exert pressure, so that there is no chance of failure."

Liu Zhang's eyes lit up slowly. He didn't expect this. It was as if the knot in his heart was suddenly untied. The worries in his heart disappeared immediately. What's more, he wanted Hanzhong himself, but he didn't want it at all. Give Hanzhong to Liu Jing.

Unraveling the knot in his heart, Liu Zhang raised his head and laughed loudly, "I understand!"

Liu Zhang was very appreciative in his heart. He patted Huang Quan on the shoulder, "You are worthy of my good-bye. You can withstand the falling sky for me at the critical moment. Good! That's very well said."

Huang Quan cupped his hands again and said, "I have another suggestion."

At this time, Liu Zhang had already obeyed Huang Quan's words, and he smiled happily: "Speak up! I'll listen."

Huang Quan said in a low voice: "Liu Jing proposed that Pang Xi take over Jianping County. Although we can only agree, we must also be prepared."

This sentence touched Liu Zhang's heart, and he also suspected that Pang Xi and Liu Jing had colluded. Otherwise, why would Liu Jing appoint Pang Xi to take over Jianping County?There is no reason for this!

"Tell me, how can we be prepared?" Liu Zhang asked hastily.

"Weichen thinks that we should make two preparations. One is that as long as Pang Xi sends troops to build peace, Yan Yan can be ordered to take over Badong County and establish a defense line in Badong County. The second is to be careful with Mr. Xun."

"Why?"

Liu Zhang was a little stunned. Although he was furious at his son, he just thought he was stupid and not to the point of guarding against his son, so Huang Quan's suggestion made him a little puzzled.

Huang Quan sighed and said, "Weichen is worried that Pang Xi will retaliate against Yan Yan. If the Dongzhou scholars make trouble and confront the Bashu faction, Pang Xi will probably ask Mr. Xun for help at this time. After all, they are Weng son-in-law. What I mean is that it is best not to let Mr. Xun take the military power."

Liu Zhang looked at the roof with his hands behind his back. He had originally planned to let Liu Xun lead the troops to Hanzhong, but Huang Quan's words made him hesitate. Thinking of Liu Xun interceding for Pang Xi more than once, Liu Zhang also deeply felt that Huang Quan's words were meaningful. Reasonably, if Pang Xi really rebelled, Xun'er really couldn't be allowed to lead the army.

"Then who do you think I will send the army to Hanzhong? Wu Yi or Zhang Ren?"

"No! No! Zhang Lu's lesson is the first, Zhou Mu must never send outsiders to lead the army to Hanzhong, and I suggest that Mr. Wei lead the army to Hanzhong."

Let the second son lead the army to Hanzhong, Liu Zhang thought for a while, this is good, it can balance the power of the eldest son, the eldest son dares to send someone to assassinate Sima Yi without authorization today, and he does not know what shocking thing he will do tomorrow.

"Okay! Just follow Biejia's advice."
