The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 221

Liu Zhang wrote a memorandum and sealed it, and asked someone to send it to Prime Minister Yuan.There are many words of praise written on it, congratulating the prime minister who has just won the great victory in Hanzhong.At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief—the bastard Zhang Lu was finally resolved, and the bad breath that had accumulated in his chest for so many years was also spit out.The emperor saw clearly, took off the traitor hat on my head, turned around and put it on Zhang Lu, all thanks to Prime Minister Yuan.It's really interesting to say that this prime minister is good to me.

Liu Zhang thought happily, Huang Quan and Li Hui suddenly rushed in: "My lord, something is wrong, Yizhou is in danger." Liu Zhang became angry when he saw these two, and he was in danger all day long, endlessly. , unfounded worry!Rolling his eyelids, Liu Zhang said slowly, "What danger?"

Li Hui was taken aback, and said to himself, besides drinking and watching dancing all day, what else do you know?I can't wait to feel it, but I don't realize it.Huang Quan's emotions were rather agitated, he stuttered and trembled when he was excited: "My lord—my lord—Yuan Bing—is about to enter Sichuan—what should we do—we must make preparations early."

"Nonsense, what did Prime Minister Yuan come to Sichuan to do? Make something out of nothing, go down." Liu Zhang's face changed drastically, and Liancheng reprimanded him.Li Hui is a well-known debater in Yizhou, who can bring the dead to life.Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Yuan Xixin won Hanzhong, and his vigor is boundless. The army stationed in Brazil must have the heart of plotting Yizhou. Can't my lord see it?"

Liu Zhang is slow and likes to be quiet.It's best for the world to be peaceful, and nothing happens to him.He's the kind of person who can afford it but can't let it go.As soon as something happens, he is upset and likes to vent his anger on others.Just now he was in a good mood, but when he was disturbed by Li Hui and Huang Quan, it was like a dark cloud covering the top, and he was bored.Angrily said: "Prime Minister Yuan sent his troops to Hanzhong to protect us and fight against the traitor Zhang Lu. How can you two be suspicious randomly. Isn't this revenge?" Huang Quan's whole body was trembling, whether the master is really stupid or fake , How can we expect wolves not to eat meat?Huang Quan said patiently: "My lord, Yuan Xi is a jackal. It is certain that he will be able to look forward to Shu. Now that he has occupied the entire territory of Hanzhong, why didn't he withdraw his army back to Nanzheng, but stationed in Nanzheng and Sanba? Isn't his intention clear enough? I want to take advantage of the situation and enter Sichuan!"

Liu Zhang was a little moved. He straightened up straight up while he was sitting on a slant, and still said: "Impossible, Yuan Cheng is still good to this general, and he said a lot of good things for me in front of the emperor. Look at this It was a letter from Zhang Su, which said that the prime minister clarified everything in front of the emperor, and the emperor ordered the prime minister to lead the army to attack Zhang Lu. If this is the case, why did he enter Sichuan without a reason? No. Prime Minister Yuan He is a good man, not Dong Zhuo or Cao Cao. I can trust him."

Li Hui and Huang Quan smiled wryly at each other, the lord is too naive, Yuan Xi was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, maybe Zhang Su's letter was coerced by the steel knife.Not believable at all.

The three of them were talking, when another person came in suddenly, it was Zhang Song.Holding a letter in Zhang Song's hand, his face was full of joy, as if he had just picked up a thousand taels of gold: "My lord, are you overjoyed?" Liu Zhang was overjoyed.But he still prefers to hear good news.Glancing at Huang Quan, he turned his smiling face and asked Zhang Song, "What happy event?"

Zhang Song raised the letter in his hand above his head: "Master, Prime Minister Yuan has a letter. The messenger said that the prime minister will return the teacher to the court in a few days. The prime minister is very grateful to the lord for his assistance in attacking Hanzhong. Lord Jia Jiuxi."

Liu Zhang stood up abruptly, as if he had been shocked by an electric shock, and said in a trembling voice, "It's true, quickly, show me the letter." Zhang Song hurriedly handed over the letter, and Liu Zhang took it out to have a look, and it was exactly the same as what Zhang Song said.He laughed happily: "Where is the messenger? Please come in, I want to thank you very much."

Liu Zhang looked at the envoy in front of him - Xu Shu.He said politely: "Sir, when you go back, you must thank the prime minister for me, and say that Liu Zhang is grateful for the prime minister's great kindness, and he will be loyal in the future." I said in my heart, if you make me king, it will be considered as letting me support Yuan Xi as the imperial capital no problem.

Xu Shu knew very well in his heart that Liu Zhang was worthless, if he was a prince, he would be happy to death.Let him be the emperor, he really doesn't have that ambition.Immediately smiled and said: "As long as the general knows the prime minister's feelings for the general, and do a little favor to the prime minister, the prime minister's recommendation will not be in vain." Liu Zhang hurriedly said: "Sir, tell me quickly, as long as I can do it, I am obliged to do it." Xu Shu said : "After the prime minister withdraws his troops this time, he will soon send troops to attack Jingzhou. The prime minister means that the general will try his best to contain the Jingzhou soldiers from the generation of Baidi City on the western front of Jingzhou. Can the prime minister ask for an answer?"

"No, absolutely not." Before Liu Zhang could speak, Li Hui jumped out first; "My lord, Jingzhou and Yizhou are closely related. If Jingzhou dies, Yizhou will not be guaranteed. This is drinking poison to quench thirst, absolutely not." Huang Quan jumped up. Lao Gao pointed at Xu Shu's nose and scolded: "Go away, go back and tell Yuan Xi, let him give up his heart, let him not even think about meddling in Jingzhou or Yizhou. If he dares to send troops to Jingzhou, my family will My lord ordered people to lead troops out of Shangyong and Fangling, and directly attacked Yingchuan, and took his back route, and see you—"

"Shut up, come on, it's unreasonable to beat Huang Quan out with a stick. It's the opposite." Liu Zhang was so convulsed by Huang Quan's anger that his triangular eyes almost burst, and his face was red and bloodshot.A few guards came in outside, shaking the scales on the armor all over their body, and pushed Huang Quan out.Huang Quan blushed with a thick neck, and shouted at the top of his voice: "My lord, Yuan Xi's wolfish ambitions are clearly revealed, you must not be fooled—" His voice became smaller and smaller, and he was dragged out of the gate.

Xu Shu walked away in a huff and said angrily: "Prime Minister Yuan kindly recommended the general as the king of Shu, but he did not expect to be subjected to such suspicion and insult. I will go back and report to the prime minister, get up, don't pull me—" No one pulled him, he pretended to be a fool Woolen cloth.

When Zhang Song saw it, he hurried over to follow the performance, hugged Xu Shu's arms and said, "Sir, calm down, calm down, it's Huang Quan's rudeness, you can't go away." Liu Zhang panicked, ran over and bowed again, Tea is offered again: "Sir, drink tea—" "No, what kind of tea do you want? I want to go back!!" Liu Zhang frowned and stomped his feet, pointed at Li Hui's nose and said, "If I spoil my good deed, if I don't do it today Lord, I will kill your whole family." Li Hui blurted out, "It's none of my business, Huang Quan said it."

Xu Shu was still relentless.It was not until Liu Zhang expressed his willingness to kneel down to him that he reluctantly calmed down his anger: "Since the general said so, I don't care about it. One must not know what is good or bad. Prime Minister Yuan's character is well-known in the Han world. Meng Fusheng is a gentleman, if what Huang Quan said spreads out, it will ruin the prime minister's reputation."

"If the order continues, whoever dares to slander the prime minister will punish the nine clans." Liu Zhang ordered without hesitation.

Xu Shu hummed, and asked arrogantly: "Has the general not made up his mind yet, or should I go back first and come back another day?" One hundred thousand soldiers and horses reinforce Baidi City, and fight to the end with the Jingzhou soldiers—but, but, what the Prime Minister said must count!" Liu Zhang peeked at Xu Shu.The tone is a bit gloomy.Seems like a threat.

Xu Shu said: "There will be a reply within one month. Please wait patiently, General."

Liu Zhang was overjoyed, and immediately ordered a banquet to be held with beautiful women.Xu Shu thought to himself, the prime minister's move is quite ruthless, killing three birds with one stone, on the one hand consuming the strength of Jingzhou and Yizhou, on the other hand stabilizing Liu Zhang, the most important thing is hey, the prime minister gave Liu Zhang the title of king plus nine tins, in fact It is to pave the way for himself to become king.Xu Shu's mouth was almost crooked, everyone said Liu Zhang was stupid, but he didn't expect to be so stupid.

Xu Shu lived in Chengdu for half a month, and Liu Zhang took him as a hostage.Xu Shu wanted to leave, but he refused to do it. He must "play for a few more days." In fact, he was afraid that Yuan Cheng would regret it.Li Yan had already been ordered to lead an army of [-] soldiers to Baidi City, and the Shu army drifted towards Jingzhou piece by piece like dark clouds.Wenpin was about to be overwhelmed.

Xu Shu didn't spend the half month in Chengdu in vain. He kept the streets of Chengdu and the pass intersections outside the city in his vivid memory.

Half a month later, Yilang Yinkui came from Luoyang and personally read the emperor's imperial decree: "Following the heavens, the emperor said, after investigation, Liu Zhang, the shepherd of Yizhou, is humble, diligent and loving, and is specially named Shu. Wang, and granted him the title of Jiuxi. Wangqing will fulfill his duties in the future and serve the country loyally. This is bestowed upon him."

Liu Zhang burst into tears with gratitude: "Thank you, Prime Minister, thank you, Prime Minister—" Yin Kui was dumbfounded, the line was wrong, it should be thanking the Lord Long En, how could Liu Zhang thank the Prime Minister?

Yin Kui hurriedly reminded: "Your Majesty, you are wrong, you should thank the Emperor, don't—" Liu Zhang heard it right, the ceremony is not over yet. Thank you, Lord Long—" She said in her heart that she still had to thank the Prime Minister, the Emperor was not so kind Woolen cloth.

Liu Zhang, the King of Shu, did not come easily. It took me a lot of effort, and I almost sent an army to Luoyang to force the palace.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty didn't say anything, he had experience in being a puppet emperor, as long as the prime minister said it, he would never refute it.Love whatever.Add Jiuxi to Liu Zhang?add!Let alone nine tins, ten tins will do.But people like Fu Wan and Yang Biao and Huang Wan didn't dare.What the hell, Jia Jiuxi?There is no such reason, don't even think about it, in a word, I don't agree.It is even more impossible for Liu Zhang to want to be king. His Han family clan is out of reach, so he still wants to be king?
In the court hall, Taiwei Yang Biao looked at Chen Lin, the envoy I sent to Luoyang, and shouted: "Prime Minister Yuan has lost his head, what is Liu Zhang, how can he add Jiuxi to the king, what a joke."

Chen Lin didn't dump him at all, and said coldly: "This is the prime minister's intention, if you have the ability to talk to the prime minister." Fu Wan said to Han Xiandi: "Your Majesty, this matter must never be done. .”

Yilang Yinkui came out of the class and said: "Liu Zhang, Mu of Yizhou, has guarded the western frontier for many years and resisted the Qiang soldiers. He has made outstanding achievements. He should be rewarded, otherwise the hearts of heroes will be cooled. In fact, it is possible to be named king."

The Shangshu ordered Xinbi to deal with it and said: "My lord, Liu Zhang is a clan member of the Han family. Why can't you be crowned king? Your reason is too far-fetched, isn't it?" This time you have made great achievements, so you should be crowned king." Huang Wan couldn't bear it any longer, and rushed to Wang Can and shouted, "Does it mean that you, Mr. Wang Can, also want to be crowned king?" Zhong Shuling, the Minister of Qingliu in the court has long been dissatisfied with him.

Although Huang Wan's official position is high, Wang Can may not take him seriously. Anyway, he has the support of the prime minister, so I'm afraid what will happen to you.He rolled his eyes and ignored him.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had been annoyed for a long time, and he knew in his heart that the struggle was for nothing, and the one that should be sealed in the end was still waiting to be sealed.He looked at Jia Xu, the imperial historian on his right.Jia Xu bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, please judge." It means that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty should stand up and make a decision.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was overwhelmed. He didn't want to make Liu Zhang king, but he was controlled by others. If there is any way, just make him king; towards."

Liu Zhang can be crowned king, but the prime minister Yuan Xi can't? !The gold, silver and jewels that Liu Zhang gave Xu Shu made Xu Shu very upset. Damn it, it was too much. It took ten carts and the speed of the journey was so slow.Liu Jiyu laughed his lips into four.One bite at a time: "My widow, thank you sir. If it weren't for my husband, how could I have today."

widow!widow!I don't know how long Liu Zhang can live without saying that he is a widow.The prime minister's side is in full swing.

When Sun Quan heard that Liu Zhang had added Jiuxi, he was so angry that he was about to die. Standing behind a short table, he yelled at Zhang Zhao: "What is Liu Zhang? A weak and incompetent self-defense thief, he is also worthy of the title of king. How can he talk to me?" Bi, I——I am better than him in Wenzhiwugong. No, I will show up immediately, and I will be the king of Wu."

Zhang Zhao lowered his head and looked at his toes, and when Sun Quan wasn't paying attention, he curled his lips and said to himself, my lord, you can be considered shameless, boasting yourself like a flower.real or fake.

"Zibu, do you think I am better than Liu Zhang?"

"Much stronger, Liu Zhang—he is also considered a person? That's comparable to the lord who is young, capable, decisive and capable." Zhang Zhao flattered first, and then said: "My lord, you can be king if you want to, you have to make meritorious service. If you don't make meritorious service, you can't explain it to the court."

"Contributing merit?" On Sun Quan's bitter and bitter face, there was a sinister smile: "I sent people to crusade against Liu Bei, and if I took Jiangling back, I would be meritorious." Zhang Zhao seemed to swallow a steamed bun in one gulp, choked for a long time and couldn't breathe He got angry: "Liu Bei is still the emperor of the Han Dynasty at the moment, and the crusade against him is rebellion, not meritorious service?"

"Just Liu Bei's virtue, return the emperor's uncle, if he is the emperor's uncle, I will be the emperor!" Sun Quan hated Liu Bei to death, and gritted his teeth thinking about it.Steal my Gangneung!

"My lord, Zhang Zhao has an idea. He can make meritorious service and expand his territory. He won't turn against Liu Bei and get a reputation as a traitor."

"Such a good idea, why didn't you say it earlier?" Sun Quan was a little annoyed.Zhang Zhao smiled wryly, "I just thought of it too."

"Say."

"My lord, right now there are strong enemies on both sides of Jiangdong, Jingzhou and Huainan cannot be easily captured. If you want to expand, you have to take Jiaozhou from the south."

Zhang Zhao's words reminded Sun Quan: "Zibu's intention is to send generals to collect the seven counties in south of the Five Ridges."

Zhang Zhaodao: "Jiaozhou is on the coast of the South China Sea, a place far away from Emperor Shan Gao. Shi Xie was appointed by the imperial court as the general of Suinan Zhonglang, the governor of the seven counties of Jiaozhou, and the leader of the prefect of Jiaozhi. He was isolated in that area with his four brothers. The territory of the land seems to be the emperor. No one came to invade the territory, nor did he invade others. The people there are all barbarians. Liu Biao once sent Zhang Jin and Lai Gong to be the governors, but unfortunately they were all killed. Shi Xie The troops are limited, and the defense is not tyrannical. The justice is good enough to win."

Sun Quan was overjoyed when he heard that, and immediately ordered Bu Zhi, the prefect of Poyang, to lead [-] troops to Jiaozhou.After Bu Zhi received the order, he didn't go there immediately, but went home and told his newly married concubine, telling him to pack up his things and prepare to go out with the army.It is estimated that when we arrive in Jiaozhou, we will not be able to return for a while.Sun Quan allowed him to take his family there.

After Bu Zhi finished setting up at home, he went out and took a car to the barracks.So his concubine lazily walked to the back garden and released the snow-white pigeons that were usually carefully raised.The pigeon flapped its wings, cooed twice, and flew away——

"Sun Quan wants to take Lingnan, can't he?" I was anxious.In that case, Sun Quan's power will be further expanded.But in history, Sun Quan was successful.

Seeing that I was worried, Guo Jia hurried over to ask, and when he asked clearly, he was also stupid: "There is no way, our territory is too far away from Jiaozhou, so we can only watch helplessly. If you want to get involved, you can only borrow from Jingzhou. Got it."

I said: "Even if you borrow the Tao, it's not easy to rule. It's better to give Liu Cong a favor and let him fight with Sun Quan. The seven counties of Jiaozhou were originally Liu Biao's territory, and Wu Chen, the prefect of Cangwu, was still Liu Biao. It is much more convenient for Liu Cong to get in the way than Sun Quan."

After touching up his dry lips, Guo Jia sighed, "I've convinced you, if you don't stir up the chaos of the big man, you won't be comfortable."

"What is this saying? The more lively they fight, the more we can reap the benefits of fishing?"

Cangwu is only three hundred miles away from Guiyang, how could Cai Mao and Zhang Yun watch the fat fall into his mouth.Immediately ordered, Zhao Fan, the prefect of Guiyang, led [-] troops, rushed to Cangwu to take over Jiaozhou.Wu Chen, the prefect of Cangwu, always respected Liu Biao as his own father.In his own words, without Duke Jing Sheng, I would definitely have to live forever.He's a straight, rough man.Nor will he flatter and sing praises.All I know is to keep Liu Biao's kindness in mind and be ready to die for Liu Biao at any time.No one in his territory dared to say a bad word about Liu Biao, otherwise he would lose his life.

Wu Chen heard that Zhao Fan came to take Lingnan under the order of Liu Cong, Liu Biao's son.He immediately surrendered and led Zhao Fan to attack Nanhai County, the seat of Jiaozhou.Shi Xie is waiting here.He is very distressed.Shi Xie didn't want to fight, he wanted to surrender, the problem was, two bosses came at the same time, which one should he surrender?

Zhao Fan and Bu Zhi met outside Nanhai City.
