Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

……

"Haha, Brother Zhou is no different. Since you and I are called brothers, why bother with such vain etiquette?"

"How is it? Brother Zhou lived here during this time, but are you still used to it?"

……

Cheering and exposing this, Zhang Yan waved his hands with a smile, and then brought the man into the room together.

If outsiders take a look at it at first glance, they will definitely feel that Zhang Yan is really kind and friendly, and he gives people face or something...

Seeing Zhang Yan's natural appearance, the man's expression became a little ugly, even a little bitter.

……

This is actually a very classic problem in dealing with people, that is, the problem of the initiative in the scene.

No matter what the situation is, whoever holds the initiative in the scene will be able to gain more advantages in the subsequent exchanges and even confrontations.

Who is in charge of the scene now?

There is no doubt that it is naturally Zhang Yan who behaved very naturally and strongly after entering the field.

From the moment he took the lead and brought that strange man into the room... the one who has the final say in this room has already become him, Mr. Zhang.

And the strange man naturally could only agree with a wry smile:

"so far so good."

"I am here in Lujiang, but I eat well and sleep soundly."

"It's just that I haven't dealt with Danyang's official business for a long time. The current situation of Danyang really makes me feel a little worried..."

……

The words expressed what the man was thinking, and at the same time indirectly explained his identity.

That's right, he was Zhou Xin and Zhou Taiming who had been serving as the prefect in Danyang for a while.

Unlike Zhang Yan who said nothing, Zhou Xin did not have such a strong background, let alone the feat of taking more than [-] soldiers with him.

As a small local family in Kuaiji, Zhou Xin has been bullied by the Shanyue forces at that time since he became the prefect of Danyang... Later, his living space was compressed in Wanling, the prefecture of Danyang, and he couldn't even lift his head. stand up……

This time, when Zhang Yan's soldiers occupied Wanling, they found Zhou Xin who was working in Wanling City by the way.

And at that time, he was almost reduced to the rubber stamp of Shan Yue, and he could only act according to the other party's wishes.

……

Out of morality and a little bit of sympathy, Lu Su, the commander-in-chief of the Lujiang army at the time, learned of Zhou Xin's existence, so he was picked up by someone and sent to live in Lujiang temporarily...

Well, it's real temporary residence, not house arrest or anything else.

At the same time, Zhou Xin's two younger brothers, Zhou Ang and Zhou Yu, who later took refuge in the Yuan family and Yuan Shao, were also taken into Lujiang and lived in this Anhui city.

Later, when the war in Danyang was over, Zhou Xin came up with the idea of ​​returning to Danyang to continue serving as the prefect.But Zhang Yan is not a fool, how could he put the fat sheep back so easily?

Even if he had such an idea, Lu Su who had arrested him would not agree to it!

According to Zhou Xin's situation this week, it was not good to manage his subordinates before, which not only caused the people in the territory to live in poverty, but even caused the little prince Liu Xie to be arrested when he was passing through Danyang...

This is a serious crime that will be beheaded!

Now that the whole of Danyang has been controlled by Zhang Yan, it is equivalent to having the right to speak out about everything before Danyang, and it is also in Zhang Yan's mouth.

……

If Zhang Yan is willing to say something nice to Zhou Xin, then Zhou Xin's life can barely be saved.Even if Liu Xie is safe and sound, it is not impossible to keep his original job and let him commit crimes and meritorious deeds.

And if Zhang Yan doesn't care about it, or reports the news even worse...

According to the current Luoyang, the virtue of civil and military officials fighting on their own... what awaits Zhou Xin is probably not a simple beheading, but implicating relatives.

……

Speaking of which, when Zhang Yan first met Zhou Xin, Zhang Yan was still a little puzzled for a while——

This week, Zhou's family is in Jiangdong, even if he doesn't say what kind of giant is the giant pillar of the sky, but the eunuch who came from his family is not bullied by a group of mountain bandits?

What about Zhou Jing?

What about Zhou Zhong? ?

What about Zhou Shang? ? ?

……

Isn't your Zhou family three generations and three fathers?Didn't you, Zhou Zhong, also serve as the Taiwei in charge of military affairs?

Save me?Hurry up and save it!

……

And after Zhang Yan couldn't help asking this question secretly to his subordinates, he realized that although Zhou Xin's surname was Zhou, it had nothing to do with Zhou Yu's Lujiang Zhou family.

Although both belong to Jiangdong, it is as if Zhang Rang's surname is Zhang, and He Jin has a general under Zhang Zhang who is also surnamed Zhang.

Apart from the same surname, there is almost no connection between the two... The resources and status that can be used by each other can be said to be very different.

Zhou Xin was able to serve as the prefect of Danyang because Danyang was indeed rotten to the extreme, and all the families from Jiangdong knew it well.

Therefore, among many prefects, Danyang prefect can be said to be the least competitive one.

On the other hand, it was because of some of his ancestral connections that he was able to barely get an official position that could be recorded in history a few years ago.

……

PS: Chapter 5!In the end, it's time to go... It's not easy.

I wrote more than 1000 words, and because of the wrong chapter in the middle, it caused a little trouble.Fortunately, it was discovered early.

That's it for now, I can't remember whether today is Riwan's fifth or sixth day.I hope you will support me a lot. I will strive to maintain this update speed all the time, so that those who follow the blasphemy can feel more comfortable.

Chapter 22 Unconditional Surrender?

"Hehe, brother Zhou, you don't have to worry."

"Although Danyang is a bit dilapidated today, since Shanyue has been wiped out by us, the remaining affairs are nothing but waste."

"With more than [-] troops under my command guarding the various checkpoints in Danyang, there will definitely not be any major problems in terms of the safety of the people."

……

"It's just a pity that the thief Zu Lang who robbed His Highness Liu Xie is still fleeing in the mountains in the south of Danyang. Even though we hunted him down for a long time, we couldn't find him."

"But brother Zhou, don't worry, we are all sheriffs hunting for Tianxun, and the matter of Danyang is also my matter."

"After a while, I will pull out my hand and press down with all the soldiers in the whole territory. I will definitely be able to make that thief Zu Lang subdue!"

……

Seeing Zhou Xin once again expressed that he wanted to go back to Danyang, Zhang Yan did not refuse explicitly, but just said to him with a smile.

It's just that although Zhang Yan's attitude is extremely enthusiastic, the more he talks, the more ugly Zhou Xin's face becomes.

What he said just now seemed amiable, but in fact, Zhang Yan did hit Zhou Xin quietly.While letting him understand the status gap between the two, he also implicitly rejected the other party's request to go home.

As for Zhou Xin...

What can he say?

Sometimes, dignity and freedom need enough force as a support.

With his current status and right to speak, let alone treat him as an equal with Zhang Yan... Even compared to those prisoners who were caught in prison, I'm afraid it's not much better...

……

You know, first of all, when Zhang Yan first spoke, he told Zhou Xin overtly and secretly that the current Danyang was under his control.

This kind of control is not only based on the appointment of the emperor, or based on some family relationships, but is rooted in real force.

Judging from the current status of the three Lujiang soldiers and horses taking turns guarding the main roads in Danyang... Even if Zhang Yan really puts Zhou Xin back, his power may not extend beyond his study.

At most, it is the same as before, as Zhang Yan's rubber stamp.

……

Then, after beating him with force, Zhang Yan vaguely mentioned Zu Lang.

That man Zhou Xin never wanted to recall in his life.

Zhang Yan clearly told Zhou Xin that he attacked Zu Lang with an army of [-]. Although he won a big victory, he still failed to capture the bandit leader.In other words, Zu Lang is still at large.

Since Zu Lang is still at large, if Zhou Xin returns to Danyang, will Zu Lang continue to jump out to bully him?

If Zu Lang continues to jump out to bully Zhou Xin, after this incident, will Zhang Yan continue to help him send troops to suppress the bandits?

Anyone with a discerning eye can see this, and Zhang Yan's result can be imagined.

……

If the first point just now was a beating, then the middle part is a naked threat.

Threatening Zhou Xin to let him recognize the current situation and his status, and not to make those unrealistic plans.

Now he really has no way to resist Zhang Yan's soft control.

……

What's more, apart from the above two points, Zhang Yan also shamelessly mentioned something about his duties at the end.

That is to say, with his heavy soldiers guarding, the people of Danyang will surely be able to live in peace and order...

This is really a bit murderous.

……

But everyone knows that Zhou Xin's biggest dereliction of duty as the prefect of Danyang is that he failed to protect the people under his rule.Even the matter of putting the prince in danger must be ranked behind this matter.

Now that Zhang Yan brought up this matter repeatedly, he was naturally telling Zhou Xin: "You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me."

You are a loser, a prefect who failed to fulfill his responsibilities.Even if you are not under Zhang Yan's control, but with the previous events, you don't want to sit safely in your Danyang prefect position.

As long as Zhang Yan spreads his previous "political achievements"...

No, Zhang Yan doesn't even need to take the initiative to spread the word. As long as Zhang Yan doesn't excuse him, then when the news reaches Luoyang and waits for Zhou Xin's ending, he must take the initiative to hang a seal and go to Luoyang to plead guilty.
