The last three kingdoms

Chapter 469

The Shen family is the leading powerful family in the West City of Shangyong. Its status is detached in the three eastern counties, and it is also unmatched by other noble families. The Shen Yi brothers were able to have both sides in Wei and Shu, relying on this reputation and qualifications.

Shen Quan is the son of Shen Yi. Shen Yi secretly reported to Sima Yi when Meng Da rebelled and intended to return to Shu. .After Shen Yi's death, Shen Quan inherited his title and continued to serve as the prefect of Weixing. Counting, it has been more than 20 years.

In addition to Shen Yi, the Shen family has stayed in the position of prefect of Wei Xing for more than 40 years. Such a long residence official is unique in the entire Wei State. It can be said that Shen Quan is in Xicheng, that is The existence of the emperor of the earth.

But the airs of the local emperor collapsed within a day, making Shen Quan, who was a prisoner, very depressed, but he learned that the man in front of him was the Shu Han who captured Longyou in Guanzhong and made Sima Wang die. When Liu Yin, the general of Zhenbei, suddenly lost his temper, he fell to the ground in fear and surrender.

The Shen family can be regarded as a local tyrant in the West City of Shangyong, but they are nothing at all when looking at the world, while Sima Wang is a great general of Hussars, a well-known veteran general, such a top figure was defeated by Liu Yin's hands, It can be seen that Liu Yin is terrifying. Shen Quan is in front of Liu Yin, but he dare not even take a breath.

Liu Yin was very polite to him. The Shen family was a well-known family in the three eastern counties. Liu Yin did not plan to stay for a long time when he went east this time, and he did not intend to cleanse the forces of Cao Wei in Shangyong West City. Liu Yin still let Shen Quan Come to serve as the prefect of Xicheng (as soon as Liu Yin came, he revoked the name of Weixing County and changed it to the name of Xicheng County used in the Shu Han period. If you stay in Dongsan County for one day, the name Weixing County cannot be used.)
Although Liu Yin has no requirements for the territory of Xicheng, but due to the limited transportation conditions, he did not have enough food and supplies when he entered Hanzhong this time, and the Hanzhong army was already starving, and there were no grains in the treasury. Liu Yin also gave Jiang Bin and Wang She some of the food and supplies seized from the Wei army, but Liu Yin's army was short of rations and it was difficult to sustain.

So Liu Yin set his sights on Shenquan. You must know that although Xicheng is dangerous and barren, the Shen family has ruled here for decades, and the wealth they have collected must have reached an astonishing level. Army, presumably it is not easy to refuse to apply for rights.

It's not easy to refuse when applying for rights, and he dare not refuse at all. His own life is in other people's hands.Shen Quan is usually very greedy for money, he is the kind of person who wants to pluck the hairs of wild geese and scrape a piece of meat from the legs of egrets, but at this moment, Shen Quan cherishes his own life even more. Compared with life, it is worthless. If Liu Yin is really annoyed and his head is chopped off with a knife, his life will be lost, and all his wealth will be his.

So even though Liu Yin didn't mention the amount, Shen Quan still took the initiative to take out all the money and food in his mansion, leaving not a grain in the warehouse, not a penny in the treasury, all dedicated to Liu Yin.

Seeing his treasury being emptied, Shen Quan's heart was bleeding. The wealth he had accumulated for so many years had just disappeared, so why didn't he feel heartbroken.In fact, Shen Quan's private collection of money and food in the Three Caves of the Rabbit was far more than this amount. He also hid a large amount of assets in other farms, and emptied the treasury in the west city, just to put on a show in front of Liu Yin.

Even so, the mountain of money, food and materials still made Liu Yin feel like he was beating a local tyrant. Regardless of the poor and remote areas of Xicheng, Shen Quan, a local tyrant, was really rich.Liu Yin also knew that it was impossible for Shen Quan to give away all his family assets. A man like Shen Quan should be greedy and stingy by nature, just because the knife was on his neck and he had to vomit some blood.

"Mr. Shen, what an embarrassment. You have emptied the treasury. Are all your family going to drink the northwest wind?" Liu Yin half-jokingly said.

Shen Quanyuan's chubby face was full of obsequious smiles, and he kept saying: "General Liu, you must not be polite. Back then, my father surrendered to Wei because of no other choice. Xiang Dahan, now I have the opportunity to do my best for the Han army, it is really the honor of my Shen family."

Liu Yin chuckled, and said: "Prefect Shen's heart is attached to the Han family, he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, which is admirable. I will definitely play the Son of Heaven as a reward for the achievements of Prefect Shen today."

What is the Shen family? Liu Yin has a very clear mind. A typical local snake and wall grass. .However, Liu Yin didn't intend to clean up the rights application, so it was nothing to extort some money from him. If the application for rights was urgent, the situation would not be so easy to settle.The Shen family has been operating in the three eastern counties for many years, and their forces are intertwined. If they really want to dig up this big tree, it will not be easy.For the Shen family, it is only appropriate to caress but not suppress.

Shen Quan doesn't know Liu Yin's strategic intention here. If Liu Yin can really gain a firm foothold in Xicheng and even the three eastern counties, then Shen Quan's investment today is extremely cost-effective. Hearing what Liu Yin said, Shen Quan immediately It was a smile on his face, and he repeatedly said thanks: "Thank you, General Liu, for your support, and I am willing to do the work of a dog and a horse."

Liu Yin smiled slightly, and said: "It's not a matter of dog and horse work, but there is something that can be done with little effort. Please trouble the prefect Shen."

Shen Quan immediately said: "General Liu will take care of his orders directly, and he will go through fire and water for his humble post."

Liu Yin said: "I heard that Du Yu led an army of [-] troops to attack Wuguan. I would like to ask the prefect to revise the book and write an emergency document, saying that Xiling has been captured by the Han army, and Shangyong and Fangling are in danger. Please Du Yu Return to the rescue immediately."

Shen Quan was stunned, and said with sincerity and fear: "I dare not dare in humble positions, and submit to the big man in humble positions. I am loyal, the sun and the moon can learn from each other, and I have no two ambitions. I hope the general will see clearly." Shen Quan thought that Liu Yin came to test him on purpose. , Immediately swear and swear to show your heart.

Liu Yin couldn't help laughing, and said: "Of course I can trust Governor Shen's loyalty, but this time the letter has nothing to do with loyalty, you just need to write according to my words, if the writing is good, I will give you another reward. "
