Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Chapter 728 Empress Wu Lie 74

Liu Zhang relied heavily on the two brothers Zhang Song, so he went to Guanghan County from Shu County to discuss with Zhang Su, who was the prefect of Guanghan County, how to deal with Jiangdong's army. Come back, if Shu County is lost, will the soldiers be left for Liu Bei?

But Zhang Song ran back alone, and a thousand soldiers were in vain.

Holding the rice bowl, Liu Zhang shook his hands, sighed and put down his tooth chopsticks, he couldn't eat, he didn't know what to do.

In fact, Liu Zhang doesn't need to worry at all, and worrying is useless.Before he came out of Berkshire, Bie Jia Fazheng, who helped him deal with government affairs on a daily basis, had analyzed the situation of Yizhou with him.

For so many years, Liu Biao has secretly wanted to engage in Yizhou. Although we have resisted Liu Biao's temptations, we have no choice but to take Liu Biao.After suffering a dark loss, he still pretended to be okay, so he was close to Liu Biao, and later sent [-] troops to help him beat Sun Ce.But Liu Biao can gain the upper hand in the fight with us, but is completely defeated when he meets Sun Ce. Do we have the strength to fight Sun Ce?

Besides, you can see how smart Liu Biao is, one of the famous eight handsome men, these years he is the only one who schemes against others, and there is no time when he suffers.He simply surrendered neatly, so let's learn from the wise.Besides, Sun Ce was kind enough to Liu Biao's three sons, and even gave Liu Qi the prefect of Jiangxia County.

Fazheng advised him to surrender as soon as he had the strength in his hands, and the days to come would not be worse than Liu Qi.

Fazheng's words of persuasion to Liu Zhang hurt Liu Zhang's fragile self-esteem.

He was originally Liu Yan's youngest son, and he had a talented elder brother in front of him.When Liu Yan entered Yizhou, his elder brother Liu Fan had already taken the position of General Zuo Zhonglang in the court, and his second brother Liu Dan was in charge of the book and served as the censor.Bong's father Liu Yan didn't get his turn when he arrived in Yizhou, but his third brother Liu Mao.If he hadn't taken advantage of the opportunity of being dispatched by the imperial court to Yizhou for an edict, he would have died together with Liu Fan and Liu Dan who failed to plot to attack the powerful minister Li Jue.

After all these years, he has been a vassal and can compete with Liu Biao, one of the eight handsome men, which makes him feel confident and good at the same time.

But when Sun Ce appeared, he defeated Liu Biao in one fell swoop.

This reminded Liu Zhang of his childhood and youth who were shadowed by his elder brothers' talent.

Liu Zhang is a person with little ability, cowardly and suspicious.Fa is looking at the problem from the general trend of the world, saying that it is very likely that the world will return to Soochow in the future.Advise Liu Zhang not to fight all the capital in his hand with Sun Ce.Another reason is that Fazheng looked down on Liu Zhang's cowardice and confusion, and believed that he was really not a prince who could protect the country and the people.I don't think that Liu Zhang inherited Yizhou from his father Liu Yan, so it can be said that Yizhou belongs to father and son.

Your father is only a Yizhou shepherd sent by the imperial court.

Similar to Fazheng, there is also Liu Ba, who is in charge of Yizhou's finances.

So Liu Zhang wavered under the persuasion of Fazheng and Liu Ba, but he didn't dare to say that he would surrender in front of Zhang Ren and other generals who advocated confrontation with Soochow, so he hid and went to Guanghan County to ask Zhang Su for advice.

Zhang Su also belonged to the side of the generals, who insisted on going to war with Sun Ce.But I don't think Liu Zhang can believe what I say, because Wang Lei and Huang Quan persuaded Liu Zhang not to give Hanzhong County to Liu Bei's garrison years ago, but Liu Zhang didn't listen at all.

Why not give it to Liu Bei-it only belongs to Yizhou in name.

Zhang Lu occupied Hanzhong County a few years ago, cutting off half of the connection between Yizhou and the imperial court, and Yizhou was in a semi-independent state.Liu Zhang sent people to attack but failed, so he had no choice but to hold his nose and acquiesce in Zhang Lu's occupation of Hanzhong.

He gave Liu Bei the position of prefect of Hanzhong County, and also gave Liu Bei several thousand soldiers.The idea in my heart is to let Liu Bei and Zhang Lu fight it out, it is best to win the fight, and there will not be many remaining five thousand soldiers.Then he can take advantage of the situation and take back Hanzhong.

He didn't expect Zhang Lu to give up the Hanzhong county mansion, leaving Liu Bei to guard the lonely county town.

What Zhang Lu wanted was the thousands of soldiers in Liu Bei's hands.

The Five Dou Rice Sect has flourished in Hanzhong for many years, and the soldiers brought by Liu Bei are all from Yizhou.Zhang Lu planned to use three years of hard work to bring all the soldiers into the Five Dou Rice Sect.

This is the general situation in Yizhou.

With the help of Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, Xun Yu prepared for three months. Accompanied by Tai Shici, Xun Yu brought [-] troops into Sichuan to join Huang Gai.At the same time, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu each received [-] reinforcements sent by Sun Ce.

The situation in Yizhou became increasingly tense as Jiangdong sent more troops.

Xun Yu remembered that Sun Ce's wish was to break up and reorganize all the aristocratic families in Yizhou.The people of the Li people don't care who is the master of Yizhou, who can make them live a good life, they just follow along.

Zhang Lu and Liu Bei, who were supported by the Wudoumi sect, joined forces and confronted the army led by Zhou Yu.

Xun Yu sits in the middle of the road, with Tai Shici as the vanguard and Huang Gai as the general, facing Zhang Ren, Lei Tong, Wu Yi, Yan Yan and others.

Cheng Pu from the South Road, Zhu Zhi and Sun He, who came to reinforce them, brought the generals Shen Mi, Lou Fa, and Gan Ning who had defected to Jingzhou from Yizhou, and faced off with Zhao Wei, Pang Le, Li Yi, Zhuo Ying and other generals.

Sun Ce hardly ever went back to his East Court.Every day, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and others analyze the military report in front, and Wu Guotai also brings Ah Shao to the front to participate in the discussion every morning.

Ashao is a special listener.

Sun Ce was very nervous, with an army of more than one hundred thousand, he spent a lot of money every day, and all the elites of Soochow were taken away.Everyone in the entire governor's mansion was careful and followed the rules, not daring to be negligent.Such a depressing atmosphere was not relieved until the New Year's Eve when news of good news came from Yizhou.

Liu Zhang surrendered.

Sun Ce hit the table with hatred, and Liu Zhang's surrender would lead to the same situation as Jingzhou.

But Xun Yu couldn't help it.

Tai Shici is too good at fighting.The generals Ren, Lei Tong, Wu Yi, Yan Yan, etc. sent by Liu Zhang all came to defeat Tai Shici one by one.When Liu Zhang, who was trapped in Shu County, had no generals to send, Qin Mi handed over the surrender form on Liu Zhang's behalf.

In front of Sun Ce is the original copy of the surrender list.

Wu Guotai persuaded Sun Ce, "If you surrender, you will surrender. I think Xun Yu has understood your intentions and will handle the Yizhou affairs well."

Zhang Zhao also persuaded Sun Ce.

"The aristocratic families have been domineering for a long time. Use the "Thirteen Chapters" to liquidate them, and you will not worry about finding their charges. Those wealthy families will donate their land to atone for their sins."

Zhang Hong added, "It's easy to do if you don't take the initiative to make amends, and the property will be confiscated according to the law."

Wu Guotai laughed inwardly. With such an idea, if Xun Yu could not handle Yizhou's affairs well, he would be ashamed of his reputation.

Before Sun Ce and the others could send the agreed-upon ideas to Shu County, Xun Yu had already started a vigorous liquidation in Shu County.All aristocratic families who have bullied men and women, forced buying and selling, and oppressing the common people in the past have filed a complaint at Yizhou Mu's yamen, and basically every complaint is accurate.

When Shouchun's solution arrived, Fazheng and others had been working with Xun Yu for half a month.

"Xun Shijun, I didn't know that the aristocratic family in Shu County is so miserable."

Fazheng apologized to Xun Yu in shame.

Liu Yan violated the rules and Liu Zhang was extravagant, but he really didn't realize that there were so many ugly things that couldn't be put on the table in Shu County.

"Xiaozhi, you don't have to feel ashamed for them. The so-called Skynet is well-connected. In the past, under Liu Jiyu's connivance, they didn't pay attention to the people of Li. Now it's time for retribution."

"Yes, yes, what Xun Shijun said is true."

Zhang Song was more accepting of Soochow's entry into Yizhou than others, and even Huang Quan and others felt that Yizhou became clearer after the state herd was changed.

According to the rules of work brought from Shouchun, Xun Yu called together the civil officials and generals who surrendered, and studied Jiangdong officials' precautions at the governor's mansion for an hour every night.

This is the so-called "brainwashing" requested by Wu Guotai. It is necessary for officials and people in Yizhou to establish new ideas and clarify the content of new codes of conduct.

A few days later, the officials in Yizhou couldn't hold back anymore, and they used various channels to get in touch with Xun Yu, hoping to avoid studying.

Xun Yu said seriously, "I studied in Shouchun for three months before I passed the exam."

Still have an exam?

Xun Yu nodded seriously.

"All the county magistrates and others sent to Yizhou are recruited after passing the examination. The prefects of Yizhou counties also take the examination. After passing the examination and obtaining the qualifications, they can continue to serve. Those who fail to pass the position must be given to other people. gone."

Compared with Cheng Pu, Zhu Zhi and others who had stumbled along the way from Jiangyang County to Ba County, Zhou Yu, Pang Tong, and Sima Yi almost cried with envy for the smooth progress of Xun Yu's middle road.

The three young men never thought that Zhang Lu and Liu Bei would be so difficult to deal with together, and Zhang Fei's Zhangba Snake Spear was also difficult to deal with.Fortunately, Xun Yu sent Tai Shici over after receiving the battle report from their journey.

Zhang Lu has a broad base of support from the people.Some people followed Zhang Lu when they got sick, and they were able to think about their mistakes in the quiet room of the quiet room teaching and use talisman water to cure their illnesses. Zhang Lu offered "five buckets of rice" as a reward.Later, it was not limited to "five buckets of rice", but evolved into various items such as meat, cloth, silk, utensils, paper, pens, recommended mats, and colorful.At the beginning, only the congregants who were healed by Zhang Lu paid, but later all the congregants had to pay.

Hanzhong County controlled by Zhang Lu seemed to be an independent area outside the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Lu is the "Emperor of Earth" in this area.

Zhou Yu stood up against Zhang Lulue, but Zhang Fei ran out to help. If Pang Tong and Sima Yi hadn't rescued him desperately, Zhou Yu would have been defeated by the joint efforts of Zhang Lu and Zhang Fei.

When Sun Ce saw such a battle report, he couldn't sit still in a hurry. He hurried back to the backyard and begged Wu Guotai.

"Aniang, you let me go to Hanzhong. Gongjin can't deal with Zhang Lu."

Wu Guotai smiled calmly, "Bo Fu, how is Tai Shici compared to you?"

Sun Ce replied reluctantly, "Between brothers."

He didn't dare to say that he was stronger than Tai Shici, after all Tai Shici once took off his hat.

"Aniang, I have fought side by side with Gongjin for many years, and the cooperation is perfect. I will go over and be with Gongjin, and we will be able to win Hanzhong County in no time."

Wu Guotai shook his head.

"Bo Fu, let Gongjin lead the army all the way to pave the way for him to become a general in the future. If you go and take his credit, what will he use to convince the public? And now that you are no longer a general, you want Learn to be a lord who points thousands of miles away. You see, Xun Yu has sent Tai Shici there, so the matter in Hanzhong should be over soon."

Sun Ce was unhappy, unable to lead the army to fight against each other, making life boring!
