Because Wang Can blocked the road between Hanzhong and Chengdu, the news of Zhang Lu's defeat has not yet reached Yizhou. Although Liu Yan is old, he still sits on the main seat and braces himself to listen to the civil and military officers in the hall.
Reporting matters. Among them, Liu Yan was most concerned about matters in Hanzhong. Every time he convened everyone to discuss matters, he would ask Zhang Lu about his progress.
However, this time no news was heard about Zhang Lu.
Liu Yan hurriedly asked: "Zhao Wei, has there been any news from Zhang Lu?"
Zhao Wei looked bitter, shook his head and said: "Reporting to my lord, Zhang Lu has not sent any news for six days."
"Six days?"
Liu Yan murmured to himself, with a worried look on his face.
Zhao Wei saw Liu Yan's expression and secretly sighed that Liu Yan could not fall. He thought for a moment and immediately cheered Liu Yan up, saying: "My lord, Wang Can's army is less than 10,000, and Zhang Lu leads 30,000 infantry.
There are six thousand elite soldiers, plus the food, armor and weapons supplied by the lord, this strength is enough for Zhang Lu to easily eliminate Wang Can and capture Hanzhong, lord, don’t worry!"
Liu Yan nodded and said lightly: "I hope so!"
However, Liu Yan still had a worried look on his face.
After receiving no news from Zhang Lu, Liu Yan showed a lack of interest. He obviously had no interest in talking, and his whole spirit became depressed.
Without the restraint of Liu Yan, the civil and military officials in the hall began to discuss and whisper. As old enemies of the two camps, Jia Long and Zhao Wei also opened fire on each other, causing chaos. For a while, the hall turned out to be like a vegetable market.
It was generally noisy and chaotic. Liu Yan, who was sitting in the main seat, watched everyone quarreling. Instead of shouting to stop, there was a look of nostalgia in his eyes. Not long ago, he had quarreled with people like this.
"Ta! Ta!..."
The sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the hall. A soldier walked in quickly holding a brocade box. He bowed to Liu Yan and said, "Sir, a stranger came from outside the government office. He said he would give you a gift box."
It’s just a brocade box, which contains things that adults need urgently, so let me bring them to you immediately.”
After saying that, the soldier picked up the brocade box with both hands and held it above his head.
Liu Yan asked: "Where is the person who sent the brocade box?"
The soldier replied: "Reporting to your lord, this person left after presenting the brocade box."
When Liu Yan heard this, his turbid eyes flickered with light, he looked at the brocade box and shouted: "Dong Fu, bring up the brocade box."
Dong Fu, whose courtesy name was Mao'an, was originally a minister of the imperial court. When Liu Yan was appointed by the imperial court as the shepherd of Yizhou, Dong Fu voluntarily gave up his official position as a minister of Yizhou and followed Liu Yan to Shu.
Dong Fu, the oldest and most trusted man under Yan's command, took the brocade box from the soldier's hands and handed it to Liu Yan respectfully.
"I want to see what's inside!"
Liu Yan reached out and tore off the seal on the brocade box, pressed the brocade box with both hands, and opened the lid of the brocade box.
"ah!"
Liu Yan lowered his head and saw the items in the brocade box, and suddenly exclaimed, his old cheeks suddenly turned extremely pale.
"It hurts me too!"
Liu Yan roared loudly, opened his mouth, and spat out a mouthful of blood mist.
His face was pale, blood was boiling in his chest, scarlet blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Liu Yan's energy and energy became sluggish and decadent. He put his hands on the ground, his body trembling, and looked at the items in the brocade box.
, he burst into tears and panicked. Dong Fu was very close to Liu Yan, stepped forward and glanced at the items in the brocade box, and immediately exclaimed, his body retreated continuously, with a look of fear in his eyes.
"Mao'an, what exactly is going on?"
Zhao Wei didn't dare to go forward without Liu Yan's order, so he could only ask Dong Fu.
"It's a human head, Zhang Lu's head."
Dong Fu's expression was gloomy, with a look of astonishment on his face, and he looked anxious and uneasy.
Zhang Lu led 36,000 soldiers to attack Hanzhong aggressively, but was eventually killed by Wang Can. Now Zhang Lu was beheaded by Wang Can, who plastered Zhang Lu's head with lime to prevent it from rotting, and immediately sent someone to send him to the hospital.
After arriving in Chengdu, this was obviously done deliberately to attack Liu Yan.
In the hall, other civil servants and military generals were shocked when they heard Dong Fu's words.
Jia Long lowered his head, a look of admiration flashing in his eyes.
Sure enough, Wang Can dealt with Zhang Lu as effortlessly as crushing an ant.
Zhao Wei heard that the brocade box contained Zhang Lu's head, so he didn't care so much. He walked up directly, took a look at Zhang Lu's head, and then carefully walked around the brocade box, and suddenly found a piece of paper.
Putting the note in front of his head, he quickly said: "Lord, there is a note in the brocade box. There is actually a note."
Liu Yan heard this and ordered: "Zhao Wei, read all the words on the note."
Zhao Wei picked up the note in the brocade box and quickly browsed it, his face suddenly became embarrassed.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Wei said softly: "My lord, it's up to you to see for yourself!"
Liu Yan saw Zhang Lu's head right in front of him. He was irritated in his heart and had no intention of reading the message in the letter. He ordered: "Zhao Wei, if you are asked to read it, just read it out and let everyone listen."
"Lord, this..."
Zhao Wei wanted to argue, but Liu Yan shouted: "Read it out immediately, hurry up."
In desperation, Zhao Wei shook his head slightly and said: "Old Liu Yan, I am very old! In the name of the Han clan, he occupied Hanzhong, and the corpses were left to eat without food. As a result, Hanzhong was starved to death, refugees were numerous, and the people were restless...
To do this, we should let go of the talented as soon as possible and find new talented people to govern Hanzhong..."
Every word pierced Liu Yan's heart, making Liu Yan very uncomfortable.
"enough!"
Liu Yan yelled, and Zhao Wei did not dare to continue reading.
Sitting at the desk, Liu Yan was breathing heavily and was very angry. He stretched out his hand and patted the desk in front of him and said loudly: "Zhang Lu has been killed by Wang Can. The soldiers who entered Hanzhong to attack Wang Can were also wiped out. No one is alive."
Come back. Wang Can's kid has bullied people too much. I want to personally lead the troops to attack Wang Can, capture Hanzhong, and cut off Wang Can's head to pay homage to Zhang Lu's spirit in heaven.
After the words fell, Jia Long immediately stood up and said: "My lord, I think it's unacceptable to be humble!"
Liu Yan looked surprised and shouted: "Why not?"
Jia Long said: "Replying to my lord, Ren Qi, the governor of Jianwei, came to report that the remnants of Ma Xiang are active in Jianwei again and are likely to move to Chengdu. Therefore, the lord needs to stay in Chengdu to suppress the Xiaoxiao troubles in Yizhou. At the same time,
The barbarians in other places are also eager to take advantage of the opportunity to gain benefits from Yizhou. If my lord personally leads the army to attack Wang Can, Chengdu may be in danger, so please think twice."
"Eh!"
Liu Yan sighed, with a look of helplessness on his face.
Seeing this, Jia Long was relieved. Wang Can asked him to hold Liu Yan back so that Liu Yan could not advance or retreat. Now that Liu Yan was in a dilemma, Jia Long was also very happy.
Liu Yan looked at everyone and asked: "Everyone, Wang Can is so rampant, what are your strategies to defeat Wang Can?"
In the hall, it was quiet and no one spoke.
Liu Yan felt a little cold in his heart when he looked at the civil and military generals kneeling in the hall.
In this case, no one has to come up with an idea, which is sad and deplorable!
Zhao Wei thought for a while and said: "My lord, the most important thing at the moment is to collect information about Wang Can and fully understand the strength and financial resources of Wang Can's men. Only when Wang Can is in danger can we find the right opportunity to take action.
Liu Yan sighed and said, "This is the only way it can be."
