At Liu Yan's house, Liu Yan slapped the table in front of him hard.
Before doing this action, he threw several pieces of paper filled with words in his hand to the ground with force.
"Sir, why are you so angry?
But there are new changes in things in Guanzhong?"
A female voice that didn't sound delicate, but rather filled with some holy flavor sounded.
The person who made the inquiry was Zhang Lu's mother, who came to Liu Yan again to warm Liu Yan's bed and relieve his stress.
After Liu Yan calmed down for a while, he said: "My eldest son sent an urgent letter from Chang'an.
It is said that Dong thief has appointed Liu Cheng and Liu Kede as the governor of Yizhou, and has mobilized troops and horses to prepare for the use of troops against Yizhou..."
Zhang Lu's mother said: "Dong Zhuo, the old thief, will mobilize troops if he fails to demand it. This is expected.
Even if the person leading the troops is Liu Kede, it doesn't matter.
There is no difference from others.
Sir, why are you so angry?"
Liu Yan is still angry:
"If it were just like this, I would naturally not be like this, but my son also persuaded me in the letter not to force myself to fight with Dong Zhuo, and asked me to give rice and grain according to Dong Zhuo's request..."
Zhang Lu's mother hesitated for a while before speaking:
"Why, how could Mr. Fan say such words..."
Liu Yan was already filled with anger, but when he heard Zhang Lu's mother's words, he couldn't help but feel even more angry.
"This is really a good traitor!"
Liu Yan couldn't help shouting and scolding!
"He was only thinking about his own safety! He didn't think about the land of Yizhou, his father, and his brothers!
If Dong Zhuo, the thief, really only wants food this time, and will not open his mouth again in the future, it is not impossible.
But how could a man as ambitious as Dong Zhuo do this?!
Yizhou becomes impoverished and has no power to resist. Wouldn't it be possible for Yizhou to be slaughtered by others in the future?
How did the Six Kingdoms fall and how did Qin unify? Doesn’t this traitor know?
Doesn't he know that he is the safest when his father and brothers have great power in their hands?!"
Although Liu Yan is a very well-hidden person, he looks like a good old man.
In fact, deep down deep down, I am most selfish.
Just like now, because of a letter from Liu Fan, the eldest son who had always been favored by him turned into a traitor.
"Sir, what should we do now?
We must also find a way to rescue Mr. Fan and the others. After all, they are your own flesh and blood..."
Zhang Lu’s mother spoke out to persuade.
Liu Yan waved his hands angrily: "Ignore it!
This treacherous son doesn’t think about his father, why should I, as a father, think about him?!"
After saying this, he paused and then said: "Don't worry about the life of the traitor. As long as we fight the battle well here, the life of the traitor will be safe."
The more steadily we fight here and the harder we fight, the more Dong Zhuo will not dare to touch him.
Dong Zhuo, a thief, always leaves a trace behind so that we can meet each other easily in the future..."
Hearing what Liu Yan said, Zhang Lu's mother couldn't help but feel happy.
Liu Yan had four direct sons.
Among them, the eldest son Liu Fan was the most able to establish himself.
Followed by the second son Liu Dan.
Now, both of them are with Dong Zhuo in Chang'an, and because of the letters, Liu Yan is very disgusted with his eldest son.
Under such circumstances, even if Liu Fan is able to return to Yizhou safely in the future, the position of Yizhou Shepherd should not be considered at all...
It is best to let Liu Zhang take the position of Yizhou Shepherd when the time comes.
Liu Zhang is cowardly and incompetent. Only when such a person becomes the Lord of Yizhou, his own son, and the Five Pecks of Rice Sect can he develop better...
Liu Fan, who was under house arrest in Chang'an, had no idea what this letter he thought was so appropriate would bring to him.
At this time, he was still worried about his father...
"Uncle Fang, Colonel Jia Long and Colonel Yan Yan have arrived at the house."
The steward of Liu Yan's house came here and said to Liu Yan.
Liu Yan, who had already made up some determination, stood up and walked outside after hearing this...
"Jia Long, the last general, has met Uncle Fang!"
"Jiang Yan Yan has met Uncle Fang!"
Liu Yan came to the front hall, and the two generals waiting here immediately saluted Liu Yan.
The general who is about forty years old is Jia Long.
The person who calls himself Yan Yan is a man who looks to be in his late fifties.
Jia Long has a great status here in Liu Yan.
The governor of Bajun, who was the governor of the Zhao tribe, imposed excessive levies and tyranny, and the prime minister in yellow turbans raised an army to kill the Zhao tribe and claimed to be the emperor.
Then Jia Long, the governor of the state, gathered some soldiers and officials to attack and kill Ma Xiang.
It was at this time that Liu Yan, who was appointed as the shepherd of Yizhou, came to Yizhou.
Jia Long and others sent people to meet Liu Yan.
After that, it moved to Mianzhu.
Liu Yan also appointed Jia Long, who had made great contributions, as the school captain.
As for Yan Yan, he himself is a military commander.
The place where he was at that time was too far away from Berkshire.
Before there was time to arrive, the rebellion had been wiped out...
"You two don't need to be polite...
The two captains must have known about the matter. Dong Zhuo was a thief, rebellious and causing trouble to the imperial court...
Now, they want to send troops to Yizhou again, their ambitions are obvious...
The two captains are the pillars of Yizhou..."
Liu Yan said this to the two of them, and his attitude towards them was very good.
"Earlier, when Yuan Benchu and others united the people of the world to raise troops to attack Dong Zhuo, Fang Bo did not listen to the words of his subordinates.
If you listen to the advice of the subordinates, send troops to Guanzhong, then turn eastward, surround Dong Zhuo, and trap him to death in Luoyang.
There won't be many things happening in the future.
There was no need for the Han Dynasty to move westward, and there were no such disasters in Yizhou.
Now, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to resist Dong Zhuo alone with the land of Yizhou..."
The person who spoke was Jia Long.
Jia Long himself is very prestigious.
In the past, he attacked and killed Ma Xiang, calmed the chaos, and gained even more prestige.
Many local scholars and officials in Yizhou were very convinced of him.
In addition, after Liu Yan came to Yizhou, he did not agree with some of the practices of Yizhou natives, so he was not polite in his words.
When Liu Yan heard this, he was extremely unhappy.
But these are extraordinary times.
When it was not time to worry about this, Liu Yan just pretended not to understand.
He sighed and said: "This time, that time.
At that time, Yizhou was unstable and the Yellow Turban bandits had not yet been eliminated, so there was little left to send troops to attack Dong Zhuo...
At this time, Dong Zhuo had bad intentions.
If Dong Zhuo is allowed to enter Yizhou, it will really be a disaster for the people of Yizhou!
Please also ask the two captains not to worry too much..."
Seeing Liu Yan's attitude, Jia Long didn't say any more.
"If the traitor Dong Zhuo dares to invade Yizhou, he will naturally send troops to resist..."
Jia Long said.
Yan Yan also nodded: "That's true!
Dong Zhuo is a wolf. If he is allowed to enter Yizhou, it will be a disaster for the people of Yizhou..."
When Liu Yan heard this, he felt a little relieved.
Although he also wanted to make great efforts to suppress the powerful local gentry in Yizhou who did not obey his orders.
However, what a coincidence, Dong Zhuo is going to launch an attack on Yizhou at this point in time.
Under such circumstances, Liu Yan had no choice but to pause. He had just suppressed Yizhou people a little bit and gradually cultivated and promoted the behavior of his own people...
After Jia Long and Yan Yan left Liu Yan's place, someone else came to Liu Yan's place soon.
One of the people who came was Wu Yi, another was Fei Guan, another was Li Yan, and some others.
Although these people do not come from the same place, they all have a common characteristic.
This characteristic is that these people are not natives of Yizhou.
They all came to Shu from other places for various reasons.
Conflicts between locals and outsiders have always existed.
Very exclusive.
This was the case in many places in later generations, let alone in this era!
For Yizhou, Liu Yan, a Yizhou pastoralist who was born in Jingzhou, was an outsider just like these people.
It is precisely because of this that when Liu Yan meets these people, he is much more cordial than when he meets Jia Long and others.
Fei Guan is Fei Yi's clan uncle.
He also has some relationship with Liu Yan.
Fei Guan's clan aunt was Liu Yan's first wife.
In other words, in terms of seniority, Fei Guan, Liu Fan, Liu Zhang and others can be regarded as uncles and cousins.
Liu Yan was not satisfied with this kind of relationship and felt it was not close enough.
Therefore, after having a conversation with these people and arranging many important military matters, Liu Yan looked at Fei Guan and spoke with a smile on his face.
"...Uncle Bin, you haven't married yet, you are already a grown-up, and you need to start a family and start a career.
What do you think of your cousin Linger?"
In front of so many people, Liu Yan looked at Fei Guan with a smile and spoke directly.
This is about being a matchmaker for my daughter myself!
"Ling'er's cousin is virtuous, well-educated, and good-looking..."
Fei Guan responded, saluted Liu Yan respectfully, and said this.
"Then I will betroth your cousin Ling'er to you as your wife, are you willing?"
Liu Yan said with a smile.
Fei Guan immediately said: "It is really an honor for me to have my cousin Ling'er as my wife. However, I am not very talented and knowledgeable, so I am afraid that I will delay my cousin..."
Having said that, the marriage is considered consummated.
In other words, when Liu Yan raised the matter to Fei Guan in front of so many people, the matter was already settled.
Under such circumstances, as long as Fei Guan continues to live in Yizhou, he must agree to this marriage...
Following Liu Yan's implementation of a series of measures, Yizhou began to move.
Li Yan took Fei Guan, Fei Guan's nephew Fei Yi, who was younger than Fei Guan, and some other non-Yizhou people, and led a large number of troops and horses, and began to move towards Jiange Pass.
Prepare to garrison at Jiange.
Colonel Yan Yan led his troops towards Jiameng Pass and prepared to garrison Jiameng Pass.
Jia Long, the captain of the school, led his troops to garrison in Langzhong.
Wu Yi led Yizhou native Lei Tong and outsider Wu Lan to garrison Mianzhu.
This is considered a concession to the local people in Yizhou...
After making these arrangements, Liu Yan wrote another letter and sent an eloquent person to take it to Jingzhou.
Go to Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao.
Invite Liu Biao, the herdsman of Jingzhou, to attack Dong Zhuo.
He also said in a very upright and righteous manner that as we are all members of the Han clan, we cannot just watch Dong Zhuo act like this...
About ten days later, Liu Yan received instructions from Dong Fu, who once told him that Yizhou had the spirit of an emperor, and asked him to write a petition to impeach Dong Fu. He planned to wait until Dong Zhuo started taking action, and then send someone to send the petition to the world.
.
Like Yuan Shao, he called on all the people in the world to join forces and bring together the princes of the world to challenge Dong for the second time!
In this case, Dong Zhuo will become in a hurry!
It is impossible to concentrate our efforts and conquer Yizhou alone.
This is called taking advantage of the situation!
With this strategy, combined with the many natural dangers in Yizhou and the many military arrangements he had made, Liu Yan felt that it would not be a problem for him to ensure that Yizhou would not be lost...
…
Hanzhong.
A battle that was not too big in scale had just ended.
This battle was not fierce.
However, the impact is particularly far-reaching.
Because, the head of Su Gu, the governor of Hanzhong, was cut off!
The person who did this was none other than Zhang Lu, who relied on his mother's nepotism to gain Liu Yan's trust and was sent to Hanzhong by Liu Yan!
At this time, Zhang Lu was in the house of Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong.
Sugu's head, which was still warm, was right next to him.
Zhang Lu, who was determined to develop the Five Pecks of Rice religion, usually kept quiet.
But at the critical moment, when you start to do something, you are really brave and ruthless!
This can be seen from the fact that Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong, died directly in his own house.
Originally, Su Gu, the governor of Hanzhong, wanted to test and defeat Zhang Lu by inviting him to his house as a guest.
As a result, Zhang Lu, who came to the banquet with a small number of people, was killed directly in his house!
He held Su Gu's head, mobilized troops and horses, and quickly stabilized the situation.
Controlled Nanzheng, where the Hanzhong County seat is located.
"Come here, please invite Zhang Biebu to discuss the next matter together!"
After quickly controlling the situation, Zhang Lu gave this order and handed Su Gu's head to his servant, asking him to take it with him and go to find Zhang Beibu.
The Zhang Biebu he mentioned was Zhang Xiu.
He was the one who was surrendered by Liu Yan and then sent to Hanzhong by Liu Yan and Zhang Lu.
Su Gu held a banquet and invited Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu at the same time.
Zhang Xiu was worried that Su Gu was malicious and did not go, and persuaded Zhang Lu not to go either...
"This, this..."
When Zhang Xiu saw Su Gu's head being sent to him by Zhang Lu's men, he was stunned for a moment.
He really didn't expect that when Zhang Lu went to the banquet, not only was he not killed, but Su Gu was killed instead!
"I'm going to meet Zhang Sima right now!"
After a brief shock, Zhang Xiu immediately agreed to what Zhang Lu's subordinates said.
At this time, Su Gu is dead and the danger has been removed. It is a good time to divide the benefits.
Zhang Xiu, who also came with troops, would naturally not miss it.
At the same time, I am very satisfied with Zhang Lu, a junior, who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable...
