Zuo Liangyu sneered, how could there be such a cheap thing. [Full text reading. Now although the Qin army occupies the three counties, there are not many people, as long as I threaten to attack the three counties, I am not afraid that Li Yan will not be convinced.

As long as the Qin army comes to subdue the softness, he can gain the upper hand and gain some benefits.

Therefore, Zuo Liangyu ordered officials from all over the country not to stop him and let Li Yan come to Wuchang to meet him.

After receiving the military order, several counties along the way ignored Li Yan and let him go all the way to Wuchang.

Li Yan arrived outside the city of Wuchang, tied the people and horses on the edge of the Yangtze River, and according to the plan in advance, he did not enter the city to see Zuo Liangyu, but put on makeup, only brought two Suicong, mixed into the city, and inquired about Zhou Xin's residence all the way.

Zhou Xin is a celebrity under Zuo Liangyu's account recently, and he is his guest and mastermind. This person is a native of Shangqiu, Henan, and it happens to be not too far from Li Yan's hometown Qi County, which is half a fellow countryman. Li Yan came to him first, and naturally it was also well thought out.

When he arrived at the door, Li Yan bribed the family with silver and asked them to report on their behalf, saying that a fellow villager from Henan had come to visit him, and he also handed over a famous thorn.

Zhou Xin happened to have just come back from Zuo Liangyu, and he and Wei Fan were called by Zuo Liangyu to discuss how to deal with Li Yan's affairs, but as soon as they returned home, someone came to report that there was an old visit in front of the door.

Zhou Xin took the famous thorn and looked at it, he was stunned in his heart, he knew that Li Yan was coming, but Li Yan didn't go to see Zuo Liangyu, so he actually came to visit him first, but he didn't expect it.

I didn't see it, but I wanted to explore Li Yan's tone first, so I knew it, so I ordered Li Yan to come in and meet him.

As soon as the two of them met, Li Yankou called Brother Nian, very polite, Zhou Xin is also a scribe, he has his own cold noise, there is no need to elaborate, after the two sat down, Zhou Xin's subordinates served tea, Li Yan took a sip and praised: "Good tea, it must be produced by Junshan." ”

Zhou Xin smiled: "Exactly, Li Gongzi has extraordinary knowledge and is admirable, I heard that Gongzi was ordered by the King of Qin to envoy to our court this time, but why didn't he go to Nanjing to see my lord's majesty, but came to Wuchang to see my supervisor?" Why did you go to Wuchang and not see the superintendent, but come to see you first? ”

Li Yan put the tea bowl down: "This matter has its own cause and effect." Some time ago, Zhang Yi, the prime minister of my family, united all the people in the world to resist the Qing Dynasty together. This matter has been completed, the Qing army is far away, and all the families can send troops, which has indeed given my king a great face, or come to thank him, isn't it too ignorant of things? That's why I was sent. ”

Zhou Xin nodded: "I see." ”

Li Yan continued: "The last time Prime Minister Zhang Cheng came, he didn't go to see Emperor Nanming, and only joined forces with the Zuo Inspector, so this time I only came to thank the Inspector, to be honest, I Guanzhong Qin Army, I only heard that there was Zuo Inspector, but I didn't hear that there was a Southern Tomorrow. ”

Zhou Xin listened to it, smiled indifferently, and felt that Li Yan could also speak, and this time Ma P was patted to Zuo Liangyu, which was not false. So he said: "Li Gongzi has a good reputation, my family supervisor is loyal to the Son of Heaven, and his heart can be known to the sun and the moon, but I don't know why Li Gongzi didn't go to see him, but came to see me first?" ”

Li Yan said: "Because Brother Nian and I are in our old hometown, it is common sense that Li Yan arrived in Wuchang and couldn't wait to see the faces of the villagers." With that, he took out a gift slip from his sleeve and handed it over.

The gift list was placed in front of Zhou Xin's eyes, and Zhou Xin glanced at it and found that it was actually a heavy gift. couldn't help sneering: "Gongzi Li, when the villagers meet, there is no need to spend so much." ”

Li Yan smiled: "Naturally, I can't take out this gift, this is from my family King Qin to Brother Nian." ”

Zhou Xin's eyelids raised: "King Qin also knows that he is below?" Li Yan said: "Not only do you know, it's like thunder, right now Guanzhong and Henan are saying that the Zuo Inspector has two think tanks, and the first recommendation is Brother Anniversary, this seeing that the Zuo Inspector is about to enter the deep sea, and the bird is high in the sky, all thanks to the clever plan of the two of you." ”

Zhou Xin smiled: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." The prestige of the left superintendent shook the world, and we as strategists were just beating the side drum to pick up the gaps for the superintendent. ”

Li Yan said: "The gift is placed outside the city, in the camp of my men and horses, because it is too conspicuous, I dare not bring it into the city openly, and I also ask Brother Nian to send someone to send a car to the camp to pick it up." ”

Zhou Xin nodded and smiled: "Then thank you King Qin for your kindness." It's just that if Inspector Zuo knows about this matter, he will be suspected of being a foreign country. ”

Li Yan said: "Please rest assured, Brother Nian, there will be points in all aspects when I come this time." There is also a heavy gift from the left superintendent. As long as Brother Nian doesn't say it, who can know? ”

Zhou Xin was relieved, he instructed his subordinates to set up a banquet and entertain Li Yan.

It turned out that although Zhou Xin was resourceful, he was a little greedy for money, and Zhang Yi knew his weakness, so he asked Li Yan to bring a heavy gift and come to visit him first.

Sure enough, with the money to open the way, Zhou Xin's attitude was much better, and his tone was not as bad as Fang Cai, and he seemed polite. While the two of them were drinking, Zhou Xin asked, "Gongzi Li, it is said that if you just express the gratitude of King Qin, you don't need an important person like you to come in person." It is enough to send an ordinary official, so I guess that Li Gongzi's trip has another purpose. ”

Li Yan smiled: "Brother Nian is really smart, King Qin sent me here, there is indeed something important, I need to make a statement to Inspector Zuo." ”

Zhou Xin's eyebrows jumped: "What is the important thing?" ”

Li Yan looked at the people in the room, Zhou Xin understood, waved his hand to the four sides, and the servants who were waiting all retreated, and only the two of them were left in the whole room. Li Yan said at this time: "The king of my family wants to destroy Zhang Xianzhong. ”

Zhou Xinzheng took a sip of wine, and when he heard this, the sip of wine stopped in his mouth, and he didn't swallow it, as if he was recalling the taste of wine.

Li Yan said: "Brother Nian can't think of it. ”

Zhou Xindao: "Isn't the relationship between Zhang Xianzhong and Qin Jun very close? If I remember correctly, the year before last, Zhang Xianzhong attacked Sichuan and was surrounded by Qin Liangyu, a female general in Sichuan, and it was the Qin army who rescued him. And I heard that after Zhang Xianzhong won Sichuan, he was also very friendly to the Qin army, why did your king suddenly have this idea? ”

Li Yan sighed: "Brother Nian, your family's Zuo Supervisor is known as Zhang Xianzhong's nemesis, and he knows this duke best." Zhang Xianzhong is a man, cunning and ruthless, and kindness and faithfulness are like shit in his heart. Since he started his army, he has surrendered to the officers and troops many times, and rebelled many times, and at the fastest time, it was less than a month to surrender and rebel. How can such a person remember your kindness? That time to send troops to rescue each other, it was also done by General Li Kang in our army, he and Zhang Xianzhong were righteous brothers, so he risked military law and went to save Zhang Xianzhong desperately. And what happens after that? Zhang Xianzhong won Sichuan, and immediately sent troops to block the Sword Pavilion and guard it strictly, which was obviously aimed at our Qin army. Moreover, Zhang Xianzhong also secretly sent secret agents to our Hanzhong region to inquire about the defense situation in Hanzhong. From time to time, they even instigated local bandits to stir up rebellion. When the king of my family got the news, he was very angry, and he wanted to kill him. ”

Zhou Xin nodded: "Oh, I see." Zhang Xianzhong is indeed ruthless and unjust, and he should have been killed a long time ago. ”

His words changed: "But what does this have to do with my family supervisor?" What is the purpose of Li Gongzi's coming? ”

Li Yan said: "Don't hide it from Brother Nian, the younger brother came this time to talk about the Zuo Supervisor, join forces with my Qin soldiers, seize Sichuan, and destroy Zhang Xianzhong." ”

Zhou Xin groaned, he didn't express his position immediately, because this matter was too important, and his weight by Zuo Liangyu's side was very important, for a period of time, Zuo Liangyu deeply felt that he was surrounded by some generals, and it was okay to attack the city and conquer the land, but it was too bad to play politics.

Since Zuo Liangyu sent Ma Jinzhong to send troops, Zhu Yousong knew that he was a straw bag and a faint gentleman, and he didn't have any clever ideas, but the group of bureaucrats headed by Ma Shiying was different, they were all good at infighting, so they came up with a lot of ideas to restrain Zuo Liangyu's strength development.

Zuo Liangyu was dizzy by these people, and sometimes the court sent people to commend him, but while rewarding him, he took away some of his territory, and deducted his military salary for various reasons, etc., and later Zuo Liangyu also recruited some strategists, which could play with the court, and among these strategists, the most powerful were Zhou Xin and Wei Fan.

At this time, when Zhou Xin heard Li Yan say such a big thing, he was shocked in his heart, and did not agree or object. Li Yan also knew that he would deal with it in this way, so he said: "This matter is related to the development plan of our two families, so I didn't dare to go directly to see Inspector Zuo and explain this matter, but I came to visit Brother Nian first, just to talk with Brother Nian first, explain the stakes thoroughly, and ask Brother Nian not to be suspicious." ”

Zhou Xin nodded: "You and I are fellow villagers, as the saying goes, beauty is not beautiful, hometown water, kiss or not, hometown people, when you go out, villagers are relatives." If my brother has anything to say, even if he speaks it, I will weigh it. ”

Li Yan said: "The little brother told him bluntly. In fact, for Sichuan, my Qin army has long wanted to take it, because Sichuan is the country of abundance, if anyone gets Sichuan, there will be a stable rear base, but since Zhang Xianzhong occupied Sichuan, my king is still very generous, and sent General Li Dang to communicate with him from time to time, in fact, the purpose is also very simple, that is, to unite Zhang Xianzhong, so that the south of our Qin army will not have any trouble. Then our Qin army can develop eastward with confidence. But such a good strategy, but because of Zhang Xianzhong, he had to slow down. Because the king of my family has heard the news, after Zhang Xianzhong took possession of Sichuan, there were no less than 300,000 people, and he had the ambition of unifying the world. On the one hand, he sent men and horses to guard Kuimen and block the Zuo Governor's Division, and on the other hand, he increased his troops in the Sword Pavilion, and the purpose was very clear, that is, to prepare to seize the land of Hanzhong. ”
