Yizhou, Chengdu.

State Pastoral Office.

Liu Yan knelt on the bamboo mat, wearing a navy blue robe, wearing a white jade crown, holding a book in his hand, and was constantly flipping through it, and the smell of fresh ink came out of the scroll.

"Yes, it's really good, the font is neat, clear, clear at a glance, and the copy is more easy to use!"

After half a ring, Liu Yan sighed and said: "This Mulong diagram is really extraordinary, such a Mo family craft, I am afraid that the Mo family inheritance of the descendants cannot be created, but he made it out, for the benefit of the world's scholars!" ”

This papermaking and movable type printing technology did not disappear because of the Luoyang Rebellion, and most of the princes in the world today have such a process, after all, the printing supervisor was experienced by the wealthy family, and those crafts have already been passed out.

Yizhou is relatively backward.

It was only at the beginning of this year that Liu Yan sent someone to retrieve this craft from Chang'an, and also gathered many craftsmen in Yizhou to explore for several months before he made cheap and white paper, and could print movable type printing indefinitely.

This greatly alleviated the plight of Yizhou Shilin, and also accumulated a lot of popular support for Liu Yan.

"Lord, this is Erlang used a lot of means in Chang'an to get it back, and it will definitely make my Yizhou Shilin enhance its strength, and let more Yizhou scholars read books!"

Dong Fu said.

He is also a reader, naturally knows the plight of countless readers, if you want to read, how difficult, books are the most difficult part, manuscripts take a long time, want to get, unless the family is rich, the children of the poor, there are very few.

Now with papermaking and movable type printing, it will definitely multiply the number of scholars in Yizhou, and now the princes are divided into all directions, the more people who read, the more people will take refuge, which is a great joy for Yizhou.

"Can't the people sent to Chang'an bring Erlang back?"

Liu Yan asked suddenly.

He has a lot of sons under his knees, the eldest son Liu Fan, the second son Liu Dan, the third son Liu Mao, and the fourth son Liu Zhang.

But the eldest son and his own ideas are not very compatible, to be loyal to the emperor as their own responsibility, difficult to tame, in the past Liu Fan in the Imperial Forest Army, but also the Ling Emperor's henchman, and later the change of the capital, Liu Fan with the Xiliang army south to Chang'an, now still in the court as a general.

And the second son Liu Dan also took refuge in Liu Fan, leaving him with a younger son Liu Zhang, who had never grown up.

It wasn't anything.

In the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, his energy was on running Yizhou, and he also accepted several rooms of his concubines in the backyard, and he wanted a son, but there were still some, and even more, there was a Liu Zhang to serve by his side.

But at the beginning of this year, he fell seriously ill and almost didn't survive, and Liu Zhang was extremely weak among the civil and military ministers in Yizhou at that time, which almost caused the hearts of Yizhou people to be bright, which made him very dissatisfied.

Then he remembered the eldest son and the second son.

The eldest son and the second son are both successful young people of the young generation, especially the eldest son, if he can return to Yizhou to lead the army, he must be a general, and the second son Liu Dan is quite strategic and can also be the master.

It's a pity that the hearts of the two are not in Yizhou.

What's more, Chang'an was jealous of him Liu Yan, and he also detained the two in Chang'an intentionally or unintentionally, if it wasn't for the sake of calming his heart, I am afraid that Liu Zhang would have to be sent as a hostage.

"I'm afraid it's hard!"

Dong Fu said in a low voice: "Chang'an is very jealous of us, even the Son of Heaven is vaguely guarding us!" ”

"Why?"

"Our spies in Chang'an reported, it seems that someone told the Son of Heaven that the jade seal is in our hands!" Dong Fu said softly.

"Impossible!" Liu Yan frowned.

"Lord, paper can't contain fire!" Dong Fu said: "It's not surprising that this matter spreads, as long as they don't have enough evidence, they don't dare to go south across Hanzhong!" ”

"Could it be a herding dragon map!"

"It shouldn't be him!" Dong Fu thought for a while and said: "He provoked Chang'an, Chang'an went south, and the first one to deal with was Hanzhong, his Mu clan and Chang'an had a deep enmity like the sea, and it was impossible to unite Chang'an, so he wasn't so stupid!" ”

"It seems that the population around us is still not dense!"

Liu Yan said coldly: "The king does not lose his country, and the minister does not lose his body!" ”

"This matter will be thoroughly investigated!"

"Hmm!" Liu Yan nodded, his eyes became much deeper, and he asked in a low voice, "Mao'an, do you think Zhao Wei can persuade Hanzhong to send troops!" ”

Yizhou has been gaining momentum for a long time.

Since quelling the barbarian rebellion in the south, Yizhou has begun to accumulate strength, recuperate, clear and clean government, and combine the power of Bashu, and now it has achieved initial results.

Moreover, Liu Yan also began to train his troops, Zhang Ren's Dongzhou soldiers, Yan Yan's Bajun soldiers, and now they are all well organized, supplemented with weapons, including large siege equipment, etc., and have accumulated a lot of military rations.

So he was ready to move and wanted to step out of Yizhou.

Stepping out of Yizhou is nothing more than going north and east.

went north to Hanzhong, after a fight, then he had to face Chang'an, and now he didn't want to face Chang'an, so he chose to go east, aiming directly at Jingzhou.

But with the power of Yizhou alone, there is some suspense with Jingzhou.

So according to Dong Fu's suggestion, he took Zhao Wei as an envoy and made Hanzhong go, the purpose was to persuade Hanzhong to send troops with him, and with the Hanzhong herdsmen as the vanguard, the war would be much better.

And he also hopes that the Hanzhong herdsman army can fight with the Jingzhou army, and he can eat it on both sides.

Only in Jingzhou, he has the confidence to be the emperor.

With Yizhou alone, he still lacks confidence.

The world has been in turmoil, the Chang'an court can't subdue the world's heroes at all, his heart as the emperor has already been revealed, and after getting the jade seal of the country, this ambition is even more scorching.

"I don't know!"

Dong Fu smiled slightly bitterly: "I was still a little sure before, but just now there was news from the north that Mu Longtu sent troops to Wudu, defeated the Xiliang Army, beheaded Dong Zhuoai's general Zhang Ji, captured Wudu, and pushed the troops to Dasanguan, directly facing Chen Cang!" ”

"If you don't move, it's just that, and if you move like thunder!"

When Liu Yan heard this, he was slightly surprised, and then said with a sigh: "This Mulong Tu doesn't seem to be a person waiting for death!" ”

"But I still think it's promising!"

Dong Fu said: "I'm afraid he also has the heart to go east!" ”

"Will he be fed, it will be difficult to check and balance in the future!"

"Don't be afraid yet!" Dong Fudao: "The pastoral army is disarming tens of thousands, the strength is only tens of thousands, I have 200,000 people with armor in Yizhou, in fact, he can shake tens of thousands of soldiers, Mu Longtu is a fierce general, if it can be used for the lord, it will be able to use the spear of the lord!" ”

"It's a pity that this person is arrogant and difficult to recover!"

"Not necessarily without a chance!"

"How so?"

"If he can be forced into a desperate situation, he can only take refuge in the lord, you know, now the Mu clan, the world is the enemy, but only the lord is not the enemy, after all, the lord is also considered to have taken him in, if it is not for the lord to take in, he lost his dog back then, how can he have a chance of life, in desperation, if he does not take refuge in the lord, who else can he take refuge!"

"Who can push him into a corner?" Liu Yan is calculating.

"That little force in Hanzhong, if you don't move, once he has ambition and moves the sword soldiers, sooner or later he will be torn apart by the heroes, the lord can wait and see!" Dong Fu said.

Hanzhong and Yizhou are not the same.

Yizhou is in danger everywhere, living in an important place, with 200,000 soldiers, as solid as a rock, even if the imperial court has a million troops, they can stop it, but Hanzhong, surrounded by enemies, once it is broken, it will be defeated.

"Hahaha!" Liu Yan suddenly laughed: "What Mao An said is very true, then so-and-so is waiting for this opportunity!" ”、

If he can take all those arrogant soldiers and fierce generals in Hanzhong under his command, he should really laugh, whether it is Minghou Mujing or the drama talent who put him together, he thinks that he is a rare young talent.

"Lord, we can't rely on others, we have to get ready!" Dong Fu arched his hand and said: "This time, Jingzhou must be taken!" ”

"Hmm!"

Liu Yan suddenly became serious, his eyes flashed with a touch of determination, it's not that he wants to be impatient, he can come step by step, but this year's serious illness has made many doctors say that he has a secret injury on his body, lest it recur, once it recurs, it is likely to be fatal.

So he hopes to be emperor before that.

That throne, he looked forward to it for a long, long time, and there was a thought in his heart, even if he died, he wanted to sit down.

"I am also a relative of the Han family, I didn't want to be with Liu Jingsheng, but now, only Jingzhou is the most practical, if you get the land of Jingzhou, you will have enough strength to deal with the people of the world!"

Liu Yan said calmly: "Therefore, this time I want to go out, not only to mobilize the Yizhou Army, Dongzhou Army, and Bajun Army, but also to personally conquer Jingzhou, and I must take Jingzhou!" ”

"In addition, I want to mobilize the barbarian army to the north!"

"Barbarians?"

When Dong Fu heard this, he was a little worried: "I'm afraid those barbarian generals will not be able to subdue them!" ”

Although the barbarian tribes in the south now have the intention of surrendering, most of them are bought by grain, and they don't have much respect for Liu Yan, and once they are on the battlefield, maybe there will be bad things.

"A rebellious general, a rebellious brave!"

Liu Yan is very confident: "What they want, I can give it, I don't believe it, they are not tempted, these barbarians are usable soldiers, but the barbarian king Meng won this fang, young, brave, unruly, treacherous, this person can't be trusted, can only be used!" ”
