The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 659
A group of people like Yuan Shang arrived in Wulin. Faced with all kinds of people who came to recruit relatives, Yuan Shang decided to make a decision before moving. To make a challenge, get a group of players first, so as to reduce the uncertain factors after the official start of recruiting relatives in the future.

A few days later, Liu Xun, who came from Nanzhong, finally arrived. He and his father Liu Zhang belonged to foreigners in Nanzhong. Facing the complicated situation in Nanzhong, it is not easy to survive until today.

This time Liu Xun came from Nanzhong, along the way, I don't know how many vassal kings from various tribes of the Nanman tribe tripped him up and used their wrists, which made the former Xichuan son into a mess, and he almost couldn't reach Wulin with his life. .

But thanks to the help of capable people around Liu Xun, General Zhang Ren of Western Shu was ordered to protect him this time. In other words, Liu Zhang was able to survive to this day in the cracks between the various vassal kings of the Southern Man, thanks to the help of Zhang Ren.

When he arrived in Wulin, Sima Yi immediately asked someone to cover Liu Xun and other people to come to his camp, so as not to be taken advantage of by people with evil intentions and make trouble for them.

Don't look at Yuan Shang and the others who are independent in the north and haven't formed an alliance with anyone for the time being, but their strength is obvious to all. Looking around at the crowd who came for a blind date, no one really dared to challenge him.

Liu Xun leaned on this big tree, and finally stopped the trembling of his heart for the past few days, and swallowed the heart that had jumped into his throat back into his stomach.

Liu Xun came to see Yuan Shang, Yuan Shang looked at Liu Xun, and found that the young master was still the same as last time, covered in rags and linen, unkempt, like a big beggar, it was a bit horrible.

Yuan Shang let out a long sigh, stood up, and said, "Young Master Liu, it's been a long time."

When Liu Xun saw Yuan Shang, he hurriedly paid homage and said, "Subordinate Liu Xun, see General Sima."

"You don't need to be formal." Yuan Shang smiled and waved Liu Xun to get up, looked him up and down, and sighed: "Mr. Liu, I didn't say you. What is the reason you came here?"

Liu Xun was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "Of course it's a martial arts competition to recruit relatives."

Yuan Shang smiled helplessly and said: "You also know that you are recruiting relatives? Since you are recruiting relatives, even if you don't dress yourself out of the world, you are clean and neat, right? Look outside and look around. There are 800 people in this recruitment , although each person's attire has their own merits, but it is really unique to dress like you and the young leader of the beggar gang, just based on appearance, Mr. Liu, I have already lost a third of my confidence in you."

The young leader of the beggar gang couldn't help but blushed when he heard the words, and said: "General, we father and son are struggling in Nanzhong, life is hard, and it's really not easy to order good clothes."

Yuan Shang pondered for a while, and said: "Come on, you and I are allies, I can't see you embarrassing your father like this, can you? After all, you are also the queen of the royal family, the orthodox lord of Xichuan, I will present you and your subordinates Everyone is dressed in brocade armor, so that they can meet the exams for recruiting relatives!"

Liu Xun was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly thanked him. Yuan Shang ordered people to bring wine and food to satisfy Liu Xun's hunger, and ordered people to send food and rice to Liu Xun and his group. He knelt down and kowtowed to worship Yuan Shang as his godfather.

After the food and drink were served, Liu Xun was not polite, gobbled it up like a storm, ate and cooked like a storm, and looked at Yuan Shang, Sima Yi and others as goosebumps, and smiled wryly at each other.

The young leader of the beggar gang is indeed well-deserved.

When I was young, after Liu Xun had finished eating, Yuan Shang immediately turned the conversation to the main topic, saying: "Mr. Liu, this martial arts competition to recruit relatives is just an exam on the surface, but it is actually related to the trend of the world. We must be cautious about it. You and me It is an alliance, but the north and the south hold one side, and Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others are separated in the middle, so it is difficult to join forces. Therefore, in the short term, it is absolutely impossible to let them increase their power, so this time, it is either us or you. Fang, we must marry Sun Shangxiang back, and we must not take advantage of others."

Although Liu Xun's aptitude is mediocre, he is still a son of a distinguished family. He naturally understands the truth of these matters concerning the world, and then said: "Don't worry, the general, we will follow the lead of the general! Let the general dispatch! However, Liu Xun knows his talent Thin, it is difficult to be a big responsibility, so although I am the leader who came here to recruit relatives this time, the treasure is all on General Zhang Ren! This person was my No.1 general in Western Shu back then, brave and resourceful! It will definitely be a great help to the general."

Yuan Shang smiled when he heard the words, and said: "General Zhang Ren also participated in the recruiting? Very good, this way the chances of winning are a little higher."

Beside Yuan Shang, Sima Yi said: "Young Master Liu, to tell you the truth, my lord has thought about it and found that there are many opponents and too many variables in martial arts competitions, so I want to find a few more allies first. Wang's body, but I don't know much about the situation in Nanzhong, so I would like to ask you to give me some advice?"

Liu Xun let out a long sigh and said, "I'm ashamed to say that the vassal kings in Nanzhong are doing their own thing, attacking each other, and dislike each other. However, I know very little about them... You might as well invite General Zhang Ren to come and let him serve as your guide." How about the general explain it?"

Yuan Shang nodded his head when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "That's fine, then I will trouble Mr. Liu."

Liu Xun hurriedly got up and sent someone to invite Zhang Ren. Not long after, he saw the No. 1 general of Xichuan striding into Yuan Shang's tent with his head held high.

Seeing Zhang Ren, Yuan Shang and Sima Yi couldn't help sighing, secretly thinking that the number one in Xishu is indeed well-deserved, and he is also worthy of being Zhao Yun's senior brother. Judging from this temperament alone, he is far from being comparable to others.

Zhang Ren and Liu Xun lived together in Nanzhong, Liu Xun dressed up like a beggar every day, Yuan Shang estimated that Zhang Ren was not much better.

If Liu Xunruo is the young head of the Beggar Gang, Zhang Ren is at best the elder of the Nine Pockets.

However, as Yuan Shang expected, Zhang Ren's outfit was shabby, and he was not as good as Liu Xun, but although the clothes were torn, they were not dirty.

And Zhang Ren's temperament is not comparable to that of ordinary people. The beard on his face is neatly tidied up, but his indifferent expression seems to be able to reject people thousands of miles away, and the arrogance leaking from his bones makes people unconscious Suddenly, I could feel a little cold.

Tong Yuan's three major disciples, Zhao Yun is like a mountain, and the mountains are stacked with nebula and bull's head, which makes people look up and look forward to it, but it is hard to look up to; Zhang Xiu has an easy-going personality, warm as fire, and makes people feel kind without knowing it; but this Zhang Ren But it was completely different from the two of them, neither advanced nor easy-going. At first glance, he was like a piece of thousand-year-old ice, and he felt like a hard master.

When Zhang Ren saw Yuan Shang, he didn't show courtesy, he just watched a faint flame ignited in his eyes, and said slowly in a hoarse voice: "General Yuan?"

This way of meeting was ingenious. It is reasonable for Yuan Shang to ask him, "You are Zhang Ren."

Yuan Shang didn't care either, and nodded with a smile: "I'm Yuan Shang, what's the name of this general?"

"Zhang Ren." Zhang Ren reported his name calmly, then turned his head and looked at Liu Xun with doubts.

Liu Xun hurriedly smiled apologetically at Yuan Shang, and said: "General, don't get me wrong, don't look at General Zhang like this, it's just because of his nature... He is actually a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Although he doesn't like to talk, he is warm-hearted. He's a good guy!"

Yuan Shang nodded when he heard the words. He believed Liu Xun's words, but with Zhang Ren's talent, he was willing to bow his head for Liu Zhang, and worked hard to protect that cowardly master for so many years.

"General Zhang, I invite you here this time because I want to ask you about Nanzhong, and I have no other intentions. After all, you and I are allies, and recruiting relatives this time is a major issue related to the trend of the world. General Zhang won't hide his secrets, right?" Yuan Shang looked at Zhang Ren and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhang Ren pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "You ask."

Sima Yi rolled his eyes at the side, wondering why this guy's mouth is like the waist of a cotton trousers, and the words just fall apart when he speaks, and he can't even fart with three sticks.

Yuan Shang didn't take it seriously, and said: "I heard that there are many vassal kings in Nanzhong, and the power divisions are complicated. I don't know where there are.

Zhang Ren thought for a while and said, "There are too many to count."

"Who are the most powerful princes?"

Zhang Ren was silent for a while, and then he said word by word: "Banadong Mulu, Tulong Dongduosi, Huoshendong Zhujiao, Wugeguo Wutugu...and Meng Huo."

Yuan Shang nodded his head when he heard the words, and said, "Are all these people here to recruit relatives this time?"

Zhang Ren nodded and said, "Basically."

Liu Xunwen added: "Nanzhong is now divided, and it is common for various ministries to attack each other. It is naturally the best for them if they can rely on foreign aid like Sun Quan! So this time to recruit relatives, these powerful The vassal kings also heard the news and came here."

Yuan Shang nodded and said: "General Zhang, I also want to take advantage of this opportunity to recruit allies, so I came to ask you. That Meng Huo is said to be a rising star among the kings of the Southern Barbarians. He is very good. I intend to ally with him, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Zhang Ren pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "Not good."

Yuan Shang was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "Why?"

"He has ambitions." After a pause, Zhang Ren added: "It's hard to control."

Yuan Shang was a little silent when he heard the words. As a rising star, he naturally knew that Meng Huo had ambitions. Besides, this guy had rebelled many times in history and had fought with Zhuge Liang several times. Zhuge Liang had worked hard to subdue him.

However, among the kings of Nanzhong, Meng Huo was the only one Yuan Shang could take a fancy to.

Beside Yuan Shang, Sima Yi said: "Meng Huo has ambitions and is difficult to control. You might as well recommend that General Zhang, who can form an alliance with us?"

Zhang Ren was silent for a while, and said, "Vulcan Cave wishes Jiao Jiao."

"........."

"Zhu Jiao?" Yuan Shang was taken aback when he heard the words, searched his memory, and found that he didn't know such a person at all, and he didn't know what third-rate guy Zhang Ren recommended.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shang felt that he still kept his original intention, and said, "General Zhang, I still want to form an alliance with Meng Huo. You are familiar with the Nanman tribes. Please make an appointment for me, how about it?"

Zhang Ren looked at Yuan Shang helplessly, but he didn't refute, just nodded.

"Row."

"........."
