In the past two months, he has been busy rectifying the rule of officials and cleaning up civil strife, which is equivalent to helping Liu Zhang wipe his ass. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Seeing that Liu Zhang's old ministry was almost cleared, Liu Ba, Yin Guan, Ma Jian and others had already begun to put the affairs of Shuzhong into operation. Only then did Liu Yan begin to use the brains of Meng Shu in Nanzhong and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.

Although Zhang Lu was seen to death by Zhang Fei and couldn't set off the wind and waves in a short period of time, Meng Shu did not violate the river water with Shuzhong well water during Liu Zhang's period, but Liu Yan is not Liu Zhang, she still remembers that Zhang Lu has a very powerful Ma Chao by his side, and is worried that Zhang Fei will suffer at his hands.

As for Meng Huo, the leader of the Barbarian Lands. Liu Yan didn't reassure him. But Zhang Song said that the other party had a younger brother who wanted to be sinicized, and was blocked by Liu Zhang. This reminded her of the domineering female pioneer named Hu Man under her command. Maybe Nanzhong can imitate the Wuxi example?

Thinking of this, Liu Yan immediately ordered Ma Yan to write two concise invitation letters in the voice of the eldest princess, and sent them to Meng Shu and Zhang Lu respectively, asking them to send envoys to Chengdu for a meeting to discuss how the three parties should live together peacefully in the future.

If according to the rules, with Liu Yan's identity, without considering Cao Cao's holy decree, she could completely let Zhang Lu and Meng Shu come to see her. But she didn't want to stand up for the first time, the identity of the eldest princess was no longer worth anything in today's world.

Soon, the invitation was sent to both parties, only to provoke very different reactions from both parties.

Meng Huo's side has always coveted Han culture, but Liu Zhang's tough attitude makes them at a loss. In terms of military strength, the barbarian soldiers under Meng Shu and his wife Zhu Rong are notoriously strong and fierce, but the terrain in Nanzhong is complex, there are many ethnic minorities, and the various tribes do not agree with each other, so it is impossible for him to invade Shuzhong with a large army.

Therefore, trade and trade are the best choice, and now Liu Yan is interested and Meng is interested. The two sides hit it off. After Meng received the invitation letter, he immediately asked his younger brother Meng You to prepare a generous gift and set off to meet Liu Yan.

And Zhang Lu's reaction was just the opposite, since Zhang Fei arrived at Xia Meng Pass. Zhang Lu felt that the other party had a faint intention to call. It was not that Zhang Fei was famous all over the world and brought a threat to Zhang Lu, but that the crossbowmen under his command suppressed Ma Chao and made Zhang Lu feel a chill.

Moreover, Liu Yan conquered Shuzhong in less than two years, which shows the ability of Jingzhou soldiers. Although there is also the credit of Zhang Songfa Zheng and others in this regard, Zhang Lu does not know these details, he only saw that the Jingzhou soldiers all the way to Chengdu City smoothly with the help of God, and then the city gate automatically opened, and then Shuzhong returned to Liu Yan, and then the invitation of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess came.

Could the invitation sent to her by a woman with such terrifying military strength be a talisman for Hades?

Zhang Lu's current situation is a little delicate, behind him is the Cao cavalry who has been sharpening his sword and preparing to kill. Although the Shu Road is difficult, and the cavalry is even more difficult, it is only a matter of time, no matter how difficult it is, it will always be possible to come through with some effort and some efforts.

For Zhang Lu, what needs to be solved urgently is an invitation letter from Chengdu. This is not handled well, and the soldiers and horses over there in Xia Mengguan can come over as soon as they raise their legs.

At this time, Yan Pu, the thinker beside Zhang Lu, spoke: "Heavenly Master, don't worry, just ignore it." The villain heard that the princess was robbed of Cao Gong's Jingzhou. ”

The reason why he is called "Cao Gong" instead of "Cao Thief" actually shows Yan Pu's political leanings.

"In other words, there are two enemies in front of me and behind me, and I am caught in the middle, how can I have a good life?" Zhang Lu threw away the invitation in his hand, and the light fabric fell to the ground.

"The current situation is that the princess has not been in Shu for a long time, and there must be a lot of opposition within Shuzhong, so the real intention of this invitation is just to maintain stability. This is very good for you, Celestial Master, and you can take this opportunity to do something that you have always wanted to do. Yan Pu's tone was slow, and there was no anger at all.

Zhang Lu's eyes lit up when he heard this, yes! Why didn't he think of this stubble? What was he afraid of when people asked for him!

Coincidentally, no book was written, and in the few days when Zhang Lu was thinking about who to send to talk to Liu Yanshi about the conditions, the news that Cao Cao wanted to go south for the second time came from Xiliang. When Zhang Lu got the news, he felt that he could go to heaven, so he casually sent a Taoist priest named Yujizi, sealed the title of a special envoy, and let him set off empty-handed after giving a bunch of requests.

The Taoist priest arrived in Chengdu first, and Liu Yan arranged for Ma Tan to be in charge of the reception and placed the person in the post house. Unexpectedly, this Taoist priest went to Ma Jian to complain the next day.

He said that he was a Taoist priest, and he had to eat Taoist meals, sit on a futon, and have props for his morning and evening classes every day. You don't have anything here, how can I live?That's how Her Royal Highness treats guests?

Ma Tan was stupid at first when he asked, and asked him what do you want.

As a result, the Taoist priest said that he was going to sit on a futon of silk weaving and embroidery and new cotton, eat 33 different vegetarian meals for each meal, and a series of "daily necessities" such as ropes, swords, tokens, and rune paper, and also find eight boys between the ages of nine and twelve to serve him in his daily life.

Before he could finish listening to Ma Yan's face, what kind of theory is this? Why do we prepare these messy things for you? I'll feed you, sleep well for you, and at most take a walk with you, even if it's good enough, what are the conditions for what you drive? Treat yourself as an uncle, right?

However, Ma Jian was furious in his heart, but he still smiled on the surface: "Mr. Yujizi, I have written down your request, we can prepare this vegetarian and boy for you, but the futon and magic utensils will have to be taken care of by you, and we can't provide this." ”

"What? You actually want this way to be treated? Futons and ritual instruments are the symbols of the status of this way, the place where you make a life, how do you call this way to be treated?" Jade Jizi jumped up as if someone had stepped on her sore feet: "You go and tell that princess that this way is the envoy of the Heavenly Master, and at this time this way is the arrival of the Heavenly Master! The requirements of this way are the requirements of the Heavenly Master! Everything must be done! Otherwise, ...... Otherwise......"

"Otherwise, what then?" The fire in Ma Yan's heart had already risen, he was not a good-tempered person, and he would not offend Liu Cong if he had a good temper. Seeing that Jade Jizi was so arrogant, how could he endure it? He asked rhetorically on the spot.

However, as a Taoist priest, the threatening words he can utter are nothing more than "offending the Heavenly Master, neglecting the Heavenly Master is sinful, and Heaven will send disasters and illnesses to the guilty!"

Ma Tan smiled after hearing this: "You Hanzhong people believe in the Heavenly Master, we Jingzhou people don't believe it, you say that the heavens will bring disasters, but I think the heavens are the fairest, and will never condone those insatiable villains who are greedy and deceive the villains who are full of selfish pockets under the pretense of Tianwei! Mr. should go back to the post house and live well, waiting for the summons of His Highness!" After speaking, he sent the guest directly and ignored him again.

was so angry that the jade girl jumped straight behind his back, scolding Ma Jian for being ignorant, the people of Jingzhou are stupid, and the director of the public will be punished sooner or later with such a villain.

Liu Yan herself smiled indifferently after listening to Ma Yan's report: "Let him make trouble, just take care of two meals a day, he has to eat vegetarian food best, and it costs money to eat meat! ”

Ma Tan left, Liu Yan found Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, and asked them in detail about Zhang Lu and his Wudou Mi Sect.

It doesn't matter if you don't ask, when you ask, you ask what comes to your heart. It turned out that Zhang Lu's reputation in Hanzhong was very high, and the people of Hanzhong believed in Zhang Tianshi. To what extent do you believe it? Zhang Lu ordered people to set up aid stations on the streets, to provide free grain and vegetables, and to put up a sign in front of the door, saying that everyone could take it, and if anyone was greedy, the heavens would send down disasters, so that he could not ascend to heaven after he died in pain.

What era is it now? It is an era of war and chaos, and it is normal for the people to be displaced, and it is normal for them to have no food and clothing. Although Shu is mountainous, the road is impassable, resulting in chaos with the outside world, and Shu is relatively stable. But didn't the two also fight when Liu Zhang was there? Why are the customs in Hanzhong completely different from here?

After Liu Yansi thought about it, there was only one possibility, that is, Zhang Lu's Wudou Mijiao did a very good job of controlling the thoughts of the common people, and Liu Zhang was exactly a negative teaching material in this regard.

To deal with this kind of person, there are only two ways, the positive way is to welcome him as an official, let him continue to be his heavenly master, and continue to control his people with his hand.

The counter-method is to eradicate him at the root, expose his mortal nature in front of the people, and make the people no longer believe in him. This approach requires clever calculations and strong force.

The two paths in front of Liu Yan are honestly not wanting to choose. Welcoming Zhang Lu over to be a god, it is inevitable to point fingers at her, but she is unwilling.

The complete eradication of Zhang Lu will inevitably bring the eastern and western rivers into a turbulent situation again, and this kind of turbulence cannot be stabilized in thirty or fifty years. Now she is facing the crisis of Cao Cao's southward movement, and she does not have the courage to offend Zhang Lu to death again, but she is in a dilemma.

At this time, the irritable and fiery Fa Zheng spoke: "Your Highness, you are too worried, now it is not whether you want to fight or peace, this decision is in the hands of that rice thief!"

"Hmm, what is the opinion of the Fa Practitioner?" Liu Yan vaguely felt that Fa Zheng was about to do something.

"Your Highness's kindness and compassion for the people are the blessings of the people. However, the rice thief fabricated the way of heaven and used his so-called way of heaven to offend the people at will, but he was actually a thief of the people! That jade thief pulled the flag of the rice thief and made a lot of nonsense in front of you, how could he be spared like this!" Fa Zheng gritted his teeth and said.

"If I accept him, it will be a trouble. Liu Yan nodded: "However, this is not a good time to move troops. ”

"With such rats, it is unreasonable! Your Highness, at this is the critical moment when the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and I advance, the rice thief expects that His Highness will tolerate him, so he will be so domineering, please think twice. Fa Zheng's tone was marked with obvious eagerness.

On the side, Zhang Song remained silent on the surface, but in fact, he was secretly looking at Liu Yan's expression, and he was anxious for his old friend. The new master is a girl, her temperament has not yet been figured out, and the foundation is not here, all signs show that she will focus on maintaining stability, and this statement of the old friend is very risky.

Of course, Liu Yan heard the meaning of Fa Zheng's words, he probably wanted to use Zhang Lu to test my bottom line, to see if I was genuine or vain.

In fact, she can understand Fazheng's mentality, he voted for the wrong master once, he was bitten by a snake for ten years, and was afraid of the well rope. But she didn't like to be tempted, so she pretended not to understand, and let out a sigh: "This matter is reckless when he is young, and no matter what he has in mind, what should I do here, I have to do it here, and I will reason when the messenger from Nanzhong comes." ”

In this way, Fazheng's proposal was ignored. Liu Yan told him that Ma Yan was reckless, and he was the one who was really reckless. This fiery temper seems to be going to be brought into the coffin.

Zhang Song's heart didn't have so many twists and turns, he and Fa Zheng said goodbye together and wiped their foreheads and said, "Filial piety! You are too anxious! You almost caused a big disaster!"

"I'm just talking about things! That rice thief is not a good thing!" Fa Zheng snorted: "I thought she was different in her position and seeking her own government." ”

Zhang Song followed him, and at this time he couldn't wait to pounce on him and block his old friend's mouth, this hasn't gone far!

The two of them left, and Liu Yan ordered someone to invite Pang Tong instead. Fa Zheng's words won her heart, and Zhang Lu couldn't accommodate this person! The theory of ghosts and gods has existed since ancient times, so it is not surprising. The question is whether the ruler or the demons have the actual power to rule.

If Zhang Lu is just a simple religious leader, there is nothing wrong with offering him up and using his ideas to educate the people. But he is also the overlord of one side, the actual ruler of Hanzhong. This ******* situation is very terrifying, making it impossible for him and Liu Yan to coexist.

Liu Yan could think with his toes that he would not be willing to succumb to himself. It is impossible for him to let him preach the teachings of the Five Doumi Sect in Chengdu or Jingzhou.

I know in my heart that the Fa is right, but on the surface, I can't show it so early. After all, prescribing medicine to Fa Zheng and saving his life is to respect him and repay him for his sincerity. But she was his boss, and they weren't close enough to be honest with each other. Moreover, Liu Yan obviously felt some kind of temptation, and the law was using a trick.

Liu Yan's temper, you are sincere to me, and I am honest with you. You're scheming with me, playing with the art of language. I'm sorry, but I don't eat your set.

The elderly doctor has a somewhat arrogant and arrogant spirit, which she attributes to putting on a show, not being grounded, and refusing to speak well.

Before this, Liu Yan thought that Fa was an upright person who had one thing to say, and because of this, she was not treated well by Liu Zhang. But after this conversation, Liu Yan has a new understanding of Fazheng.

This person's mind is as fine as hair, his mouth is very damaged, he is a master of figuring out people's hearts, and he is also arrogant and arrogant, with many shortcomings, but he sees the problem to the point, is decisive, and his ruthless personality is also very obvious.

Appointing such a person is a great test of the mind of the superior!
