Wang Can sat on the main seat, and Xun You sat below him.
"Gongda, what is the name of the envoy who went to Hanzhong on behalf of Liu Yan?"
"The messenger's name is Jia Long, and he is from Yizhou."
After Wang Can listened, he fell silent, recalling in his mind whether there was a person named Jia Long. Unfortunately, after Wang Can thought for a long time, he still couldn't find any news about Jia Long. The Three Kingdoms, not only Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei
, the stage where heroes such as Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu competed to appear, and countless unknown grassroots figures performed wonderful life trajectories.
It's normal that Wang Can didn't expect the relevant information about Jia Long.
After a long silence, Wang Can asked: "Gongda, have you found out the details about Jia Long?"
Xun You shook his head and said: "My lord, Jia Long just arrived in Hanzhong today. He was going to meet the lord immediately, but he was rejected by his humble position. The time was too short, and we didn't have time to check Jia Long's details."
Wang Can frowned slightly and said: "Liu Yan sent Jia Long as an envoy to Hanzhong. He must have a purpose. It is probably to test our attitude. Even so, we cannot let Jia Long notice our attitude. You
Immediately take people to the inn, hold Jia Long, and test Jia Long's ability. I will immediately ask Wang Yue to investigate Jia Long's details."
"promise!"
Xun You lifted up his robe and stood up, bowed to Wang Can again, turned around and left.
Wang Can took a deep breath, with a look of helplessness on his face.
According to the strategy formulated by Xun You, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu, it is likely that the war will be delayed until after the spring plowing, or even longer. Now Liu Yanhou was anxious and directly sent Jia Long as an envoy to test his attitude. As long as Wang Can
Showing his disobedient attitude, Liu Yan would definitely send troops to attack Hanzhong. If Wang Can decided to surrender to Liu Yan, he would be asked to go to Chengdu as a hostage and be detained in Chengdu.
Although Wang Can is not afraid of Liu Yan, he still has to consider spring plowing.
When looking at things, you must consider the overall situation.
Wang Can looked up at the door and ordered loudly: "Come here!"
The door creaked open, and a soldier strode in. He bowed to Wang Can and said, "Sir!" After saying that, the soldier stood respectfully in the study, waiting for Wang Can's order.
Wang Can ordered: "Send Wang Yue to the governor's mansion."
"No!" the soldier responded with clasped fists, bowed to Wang Can, turned and left.
Half an hour later, Wang Yue came to the study in a dusty state, bent down and paid homage to Wang Can: "Yue pays homage to my lord."
"sit!"
"Thank you, lord!"
Wang Can went straight to the point and said: "Ziwu, there is news from Gongda that Liu Yan sent the envoy Jia Long to Hanzhong. The matter is very urgent. We currently have no information about Jia Long as a whole, which is very important for us to deal with Jia Long.
Unfavorable. The right way is to know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger. I will give you one day, and you immediately send someone to investigate the news about Jia Long. Be sure to find out everything about Jia Long."
Wang Yue said seriously: "My lord, the Hero Building has been established in Hanzhong for nearly half a year. It already has sufficient strength. Lord, rest assured, Yue will definitely complete its mission."
Wang Can nodded and said: "Time is urgent, go ahead!"
"No, I will resign from my humble position."
Wang Yue nodded, stood up, bowed to Wang Can, turned around and left. Wang Can was the only one left in the study, thinking about how to deal with Jia Long.
########
Nanzheng County, Inn.
Jia Long took Liu Yan's envoy to stay at the inn and stayed in the inn.
On this mission, the chief envoy was Jia Long from Yizhou, and the deputy envoy was Ren Qi, the prefect of Jianwei. As Jia Long was from Yizhou, he stayed in Chengdu for a long time to handle things, so it was normal for him to be sent as an envoy to Hanzhong. However, Ren Qi
As the prefect of Jianwei and Mu Shou, he was transferred to Jia Long by a transfer order and temporarily served as the deputy envoy to Hanzhong. It was surprising.
Although it was strange, it happened.
The reason is that Ren Qi, like Jia Long, is from a wealthy family in Yizhou.
There are aristocratic families such as the Yang family, Fang family, and Deng family in Nanzheng County in Hanzhong, and there are also many wealthy families in Yizhou.
For example, the Jia family headed by Jia Long, the Ren family headed by Ren Qi, and many other aristocratic families such as the Li family, the Wang family, the Pang family, the Wu family, etc. Many of the aristocratic families have marriages and are intertwined. They are the local snakes of Yizhou. Although
These big families played a big role in Liu Yan's entry into Shu, but Xiao He succeeded and Xiao He failed. The big families also greatly hindered Liu Yan from governing Hanzhong, so that the people in Hanzhong did not hear Liu Yan's name and only knew the big families in Yizhou.
.
Because of this, Liu Yan was determined to deal with the powerful families and establish his prestige.
In the inn, in the house.
Ren Qi and Jia Long sat opposite each other, both of them looking solemn and looking a little downcast.
Finally, Ren Qi broke the silence of the room.
Ren Qi coughed twice and said: "Jia Gong, Zhao Wei slandered us in front of Liu Yan, transferred me away from Qianwei, and asked me to go to Hanzhong with Jia Gong. It was clearly a plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife. If Wang Canhe
It's okay for Liu Yanxu and Shewei, but if Wang Can wants to separate Hanzhong and makes up his mind to go against Liu Yan, we will fall into the tiger's mouth."
Jia Long sighed and said: "The cunning rabbit is dead and the running dogs are cooked. Liu Yan wants to eradicate the Yizhou clan!"
A sharp light flashed in Ren Qi's eyes, and he lowered his voice and said: "Jia Gong, since Liu Yan feels that he has a firm foothold and wants to eradicate the Yizhou clan, why don't we unite with other big families to overthrow Liu Yan. Mainly Jia
The public is willing to take charge of the overall situation, and I, the Ren family, are willing to support Mr. Jia as the pastor of Yizhou."
After a pause, Ren Qi continued: "Jia Gong, as long as we can facilitate the battle between Wang Can and Liu Yan, and at the same time give Wang Can some benefits, and take advantage of the battle between Liu Yan and Wang Can to raise troops to attack Liu Yan, there is a lot to be done. You
What do you think?"
Jia Long frowned slightly, with a hesitant look on his face.
Seeing Jia Long's hesitation, Ren Qi said, "Jia Gong, you should be more decisive."
Just when Jia Long was about to speak, there was a loud knock on the door outside the house.
When Ren Qi heard someone knocking on the door, he instinctively put his hand on the hilt of his sword, with a vigilant look on his face. He walked slowly to the door of the room and shouted in a deep voice: "Who?"
A voice came from outside the house: "Sir Ren, I am a humble Jia Yu."
Hearing this, Jia Long said: "Jia Yu is my follower. There is no problem. Let him in."
The vigilant look on Ren Qi's face relaxed. He opened the door and let Jia Yu in. He asked, "What's the matter with standing sneakily outside the door?"
Jia Yu glanced at Ren Qi and secretly thought that Ren Qi looked like a human but his words were unreliable.
He came to report the matter to Jia Long, why did he become so sneaky?
Jia Yu walked into the house, bowed to Jia Long, and said: "Master, there is a man named Xun You outside the inn who came to pay homage to the master. He seems to be the Prime Minister of Hanzhong County, in charge of the army of a county, and is a real powerful figure.
"
"hiss!"
When Jia Long heard this, he took a deep breath with a look of astonishment on his face.
He was appointed by Liu Yan as the envoy to Hanzhong, and he immediately sent people to investigate the news in Hanzhong.
I wouldn’t know if I didn’t check it. After checking it, I was shocked to find out that Xun You was born in the Xun family of Yingchuan, which was a first-class family in the world. Moreover, Xun You was a direct descendant of the Xun family. He once served as an official in the imperial court, served as the minister of Huangmen, and
He had served in General He Jin's mansion and had a strong background; Cheng Yu had also served as county magistrate and other official positions and was from a large family; even the youngest Guo Jia, whose ancestor was also a great scholar in the imperial court, also came from a famous family.
The three great counselors under Wang Can are all from wealthy families and have extraordinary status.
And these three people actually followed Wang Can, who was once a Yellow Turban thief, which shows how fishy it is.
The strength that Wang Can possesses cannot be easily defeated by dispatching an elite force as Zhang Lu said. Jia Long's mind kept turning, thinking that Xun You came to visit on his own initiative, maybe to test the news, and
He also needed to use Xun You to test the news, so he immediately ordered: "Jia Yu, you go and ask Xun You to come up immediately, don't hesitate at all."
"promise!"
After Jia Yu heard this, he turned and left.
Just as Jia Yu stepped out of the threshold with one foot and was about to leave, Jia Long's voice came from behind: "Jia Yu, wait a minute, Xun You is here to visit, he must be on behalf of Wang Can. Can't you go out to greet him, or should I?"
Go and greet him personally.”
Jia Long straightened his clothes and said, "Ren Qi, let's go together to greet Xun You."
