Chapter 269: The Big Money Lord Comes to the Door
Meng Yan, a Zhuti person, was actually very anxious in his heart.
There are no clans in Nanzhong, their Meng family is a first-class top hero, and there are their people in the entire Nanzhong, regardless of Yi and Han.
But no matter how strong their power is, they are still not as strong as Liu Beijun, who is now in the limelight.
As long as Liu Beijun marches southward, he doesn't dare to say that he will destroy all the Yi people in the mountain, and it will not be a big problem to shoot their major clans into ashes.
As early as when Liu Bei had just entered Shu, he had set up the first governor of the capital of Yu, trying to recruit these Nanzhong Yi Han.
But how could these people give Liu Bei face, not only did they not cooperate, but some people also secretly poked and instigated Yiren to make trouble to show their strength.
Meng Yan didn't make trouble behind his back, but he didn't actively share Liu Bei's worries when Gaoding rebelled before.
Therefore, Liu Chan only listed him as a neutral party and the target of Fuyi this time, and did not ask him to borrow troops and cooperate in the battle.
At the beginning, Meng Yan was also happy to be free, regardless of whether you were killed or lived,
But gradually, he felt that something was wrong.
Liu Chanjun easily eliminated Zhu Bao, Yonghong and Gao Ding were also wiped out almost at the same time, and Zhuge Qiao and Pan Jun were also stationed in Qiqi.
Now that the Han army in Nanzhong is unprecedentedly strong, Liu Chan does not seem to like to convince people with virtue like Dong He, who governed Nanzhong in Liu Zhang's era.
Meng Yan was helpless, but decided to take the opportunity of Liu Chan's move to Zhuti to get in touch with him.
Say something nice and maintain the important position of the Meng family in Zhuti, which is Meng Yan's main demand.
As the saying goes, people are short-handed, and Meng Yan was not completely unprepared in order to curry favor with Liu Chan.
He prepared 300 black dogs, 1,000 wooden staffs, a bucket of agate (don't ask the author why== The author doesn't know why the Nanzhong people regarded this thing as a treasure at that time), a cart of gold, silver, cloth, and rhinoceros skin, and set off from Hanyang (there is also a Hanyang over there), and came to meet Liu Chan.
According to Meng Yan's thoughts, the next plot should be Liu Chan overjoyed to see these military resources, holding his hand and praising him as a pure minister of the Han Dynasty, and then appeased him, and the two sides built a new situation of a beautiful Han Dynasty.
But what Meng Yan never expected was that not long after they set off from Hanyang, they were actually attacked fiercely by a group of mountain bandits!
On Zhu Ti's territory, there is really no Yihan bandit who dares to provoke the Meng family.
Not to mention that Meng Yan has the courage of ten thousand people, and in history, he is also a hero who went on the Northern Expedition with Zhuge Liang and fought against Sima Yi and Guo Huai.
So he was careless.
The bandits suddenly appeared at dawn, and they all made loud noises and attacked Meng Yan's front.
Meng Yan saw that these people were all wearing masks on their faces, naked and naked, holding short sticks and short spears, and immediately understood that this was just a group of rabble.
He personally carried a knife and led his men to fight, and the rabble dispersed in a hurry.
Meng Yan chased after him all morning, but he didn't catch up with anyone.
Just when he was puzzled, thinking that this group of barbarians had nothing to provoke him, and he didn't dare to fight with him, the officials in the rear ran over like a mournful person, and said angrily:
"Master, something happened, those barbarians attacked our rear team and intercepted all the gifts we prepared for the prince of Hanzhong!"
What?
Meng Yan was stunned for a moment.
He has been in Zhuti for so many years, and he has really never seen a barbarian know the art of war.
Those mountain bandits are also a group of straw bales, and when they go down the mountain to loot, they are a group of people screaming and screaming to kill, where do they know what to lure the enemy and outflank.
Meng Yan was too careless, and there were not many guards left, so all the gifts were intercepted in one go, and a bunch of carriages were robbed.
According to the steward, those barbarians clearly came prepared,
Even the beasts of burden were ready, and the looted things were immediately scattered and loaded into trucks, and disappeared without a trace in a moment......
Finished!
Meng Yan's first thought at that time was whether this would be a trick of the imperial court.
But when you turn your head and think about it, these barbarians are all dark-skinned, rude, and running wildly in the mountains like walking on flat ground, which is not the style of those Han troops in the imperial court.
And the housekeeper also said that they reported to their home, saying that they were the strongman A Huinan of Yelang County.
The Chinese accent was very strange, and the other soldiers were muttering as if they were really barbarian from a certain place.
Maybe it was really the barbarians on the other side of the court who were beaten badly by the imperial court and fled to Zhuti.
Meng Yan was helpless, and originally wanted to collect some treasures to give to Liu Chan.
But Liu Chan is about to march south at any time, and there is not much time left for him.
He was also able to casually carry a sack of worthless jasper and come to see Liu Chan.
Hey, I can't let the son of the world know that I've been robbed,
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a big shame for the Meng family, so that the prince thinks that we can't even look at our own door.
I just don't know if the prince will think I'm slighting him when he sees this gift.
The gentlemen of the Han Dynasty are all jade, and the pure and flawless white jade is the top grade.
This pocket of jasper is an alternative among the other, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't get any special products, Meng Yan would never take this kind of thing.
He waited outside Liu Chan's tent, and when the gift was sent into Liu Chan's tent, he felt that time seemed to freeze.
The worst possibility is that Liu Chan was furious when he saw this gift, thinking that it was definitely looking down on him, and then scolded Meng Yan and threw him out.
I hope the prince won't be like this......
But he only waited for a moment, and Liu Chan's joyful shout came from the tent,
Liu Chan, who was dressed in a fancy suit, didn't wear any shoes, and hurriedly ran out to meet Meng Yan.
He couldn't help but grab Meng Yan's arm, and Lang smiled:
"I never thought that in a wild place, there are such a big Han pure minister as Meng Gong, and I see Meng Gong alone, just like when my father saw General An Han-
Please also ask Meng Gong to enter the account, and the lonely relatives will pick up the wind for Meng Gong! ”
Meng Yan: ???
General Anhan?
That's Mi Zhu!
After Liu Bei entered Shu, Mi Zhu was the most important among the ministers, in order to thank Mi Zhu for his great contributions over the years.
Without Mi Zhu's great contribution when he was down, Liu Bei would not be where he is today.
This is not bragging.
Now Liu Chan actually compared Meng Yan to Mi Zhu......
This really made Meng Yan ashamed.
The son, the son of the world has such feelings.
Although there is no story of sending goose feathers thousands of miles in these years, Meng Yan also knows that this gentleman has a relationship, and he pays attention to courtesy and affection.
Although these Nanzhong surnames are extremely powerful, they lack a little cultural cultivation after all, and they cannot be called the world.
When I came here before, I was still thinking about whether Liu Chan would care because the gift was too light.
Although this bag of jasper is not valuable, in the eyes of the prince, this must symbolize the sincerity of the surname Nanzhong.
Look, look, this is the cultivation of the son of the world.
Meng Yan didn't even dare to say it, but he was still dragged into the account excitedly by Liu Chan.
Not only that, Liu Chan also personally served Coke and toasted with Meng Yan.
That's not all, excitedly Liu Chan asked Meng Yan to wait, and then turned out a glass from his luggage and put it in front of Meng Yan.
"Meng Gong is righteous, please accept the thin gift!"
Meng Yan: ......
This glass was not specially bought by Qi Jinjin for Liu Chan, but a gift round cup wrapped with scotch tape on the outer packaging box when she purchased a large number of white peach oolongs.
Liu Chan also found that there was such a thing in a box of white peach oolong tea when he was packing up in the past few days.
Glass is too rare in this era, especially pure glass that is colorless and transparent and does not even have bubbles, and it is not something that can be made by the technology of this year.
In history, Meng Yan, who was calm in the face of the siege of Sima Yi's army, held the glass, and his hands were already trembling.
Such a precious thing, even the prince himself is reluctant to use it, and he actually rewarded it to me?
This, this gift is too generous, right?
Don't blame Liu Chan for being so excited.
The few jadeites in his hand had already been given to Qi Jinjin, and although there were many additions later, the jadeite and jade sent by Luo Tong were obviously not as good as the previous one, and the price was not too high.
But the bag of jadeite sent by Meng Yan was crystal green and colorful, and when the bag was first opened, it was even like a pool of clear water.
With such a good variety of jadeite, Sister A will be overjoyed when she sees it.
Meng Yan sent so many good things as soon as he made a move, Liu Chan naturally had a very good attitude towards him.
This glass should be given away, and it must be sent.
Feeling Liu Chan's sincerity, Meng Yan, who was holding the glass tightly in his hand, didn't say anything to thank him.
He said guiltily:
"This jasper is just a mundane thing produced in the barbaric land southwest of Yongchang, where can it be so rewarded by the prince?
I have heard for a long time that the son of the world uses soldiers like a god, and he is open-minded, but I, a layman in the mountains and wilderness, did not believe it at first,
Seeing the son of the world, I know that there are gentlemen in this world who are like this, it is really the atmosphere of the country, and the barbarians in the countryside have to obey it. ”
Meng Yan was ready to negotiate with Liu Chan because he understood Liu Chan's personality.
I heard that although Liu Chan is young, he is open-minded,
Liao Li once maliciously arranged him, and even denounced what he vigorously promoted as heresy.
But Liu Chan did not punish Liao Li, but took the initiative to recall Liao Li to his side after he was demoted to Wenshan County and entrusted him with important tasks.
This kind of open-mindedness is by no means something ordinary people can have.
This son will become a great man one day.
With a judgment on Liu Chan in his heart, Meng Yan became even more nervous.
What is Liu Chan's identity, he must have a lot of respect for himself.
The latter conditions are not easy to discuss.
Seeing that Liu Chan was in a good mood, he simply asked carefully:
"I wonder how long the prince is going to hover in this smoky land in the south?"
Liu Chan smiled and said: "If you don't want to be peaceful, you should return." ”
This place is full of mountains, full of mosquitoes and all kinds of strange wild animals, and it is not very cute except for the iron-eating beast that Jufu caught, and I really want to stay here.
Liu Chan couldn't wait to return to Chengdu as soon as possible, he already missed his father and uncles very much.
Meng Yan listened to Liu Chan's sincerity and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The only people in Nanzhong who are in trouble with the Han are those barbarians.
Although he is not talented, he is willing to go south with the son, and then there will only be a word in front of the two armies, and the barbarians will surrender and surrender. ”
Meng Yan is really not bragging.
The power of the five surnames in Nanzhong is quite huge, and there is a lot of communication with each other.
Now that Yonghong has been slapped over, the rest of the people also feel the strength of the big man,
Everyone hurriedly confessed, put all the responsibility on the barbarians in the mountains, and when the time came, Meng Shu would be beaten up and handed over to admit his mistakes, and everything would be fine.
In short, send Liu Chan, the great god, back first.
"Okay." Liu Chan nodded very happily,
"Meng Gong deserves to be a pure minister of the Han Dynasty."
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be."
"Since Gong Meng is so polite, Chan naturally wants to thank him again - how about I set up the Governor of the Surrender Capital in Zhuti to protect Duke Meng's family?"
Meng Yan: ......
