Chapter 275: Forming an Alliance (End)

Deng Zhi came to Ji Yan's mansion today, not for anything else, or simply to give gifts here, of course, in fact, his gifts are not the main thing, his main thing is to tell Ji Yan that accepting bribes in Jiangdong is a very normal thing.

However, Deng Zhi did not wronged them, now the world is divided into three, and the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu are established, although Sun Quan of Wu has not yet ascended the throne and called the emperor, but he has been crowned king, that is, it is called a country, and it is not a problem.

And all three places face the same problem, that is, there are too many families, and there are too many families.

This kind of family is not only those old families that have been for decades, hundreds of years, or even hundreds of years, but also new powerful families.

Needless to say, the old family, the Wu family, the Pang family, etc., the Zhang, Zhu, Gu, and Lu families in Jiangdong, and the Central Plains are even more numerous, one Yingchuan County and one Guanzhong are enough, not to mention other states and counties.

At the beginning, the high-spirited Cao Mengde killed a border man, and then his hometown was gone, the family of Xuzhou, the family of Qingzhou, and the family of Jizhou made Cao Mengde, a peerless hero, couldn't help but have a headache, in order to compromise with the family, he couldn't help but change the thirteen states in the world to Kyushu, just to give up the frontier.

However, although they each have their own problems, they also have their own solutions.

For example, in such a small place as Xichuan, Liu Yan and Liu Zhang both understood how to curb those families, and even did not hesitate to create the Dongzhou Rebellion for this.

At the beginning, Liu Yan from Xichuan brought in a Zhao Wei, and he confused Yizhou, which was already a pool of stagnant water, not to mention, but even brought them back to life.

After Zhao Wei followed Liu Yan into Yizhou, he began to be appointed as a general, and then began to exclude dissidents in Yizhou, especially after he supported Liu Zhang's ascension to Yizhou Mu, it was even more powerful for a while, and Du Yu's suppression in Yizhou was also more powerful.

Among them, Shen Mi, Lou Fa, Gan Ning and others among the local forces in Yizhou simply chose to mutiny because they couldn't stand this oppression, and then wanted to counterattack Yizhou, but after Zhao Wei led the troops to attack, they were directly torn apart internally, not to mention, and forced them out of Yizhou and uprooted their families.

After the rebellion of this group of rebels failed, the rebels entered Jingzhou to avoid the chaos, hoping to find a way to live, and Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang also directly seized the opportunity, so he took Zhao Wei as the general of the expedition to the east, led the crowd to attack Liu Biao, and the troops were forbearing, but they did not get any results.

But this result is the best result, after Zhao Wei came out of Yizhou, the Dongzhou soldiers that Liu Yan used to resist Zhao Wei and other local forces in Yizhou began to riot, and then cleaned up a lot of Yizhou forces under Zhao Wei, not to mention, and also wiped out some of the deep-rooted families in Yizhou.

In the face of this kind of Dongzhou soldiers, Liu Zhang easily pacified them, took them for his own use, and then let them protect themselves to resist Zhao Wei and others.

When Zhao Wei returned to Yizhou, the whole Yizhou sky had changed, Liu Zhang played a beautiful hand, the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind, and in the end he was the hunter with the bow.

In the end, Zhao Wei, who was forced to be helpless, bribed the magistrates of Jingzhou with money and bribes, reduced his external strength, and united with the local clans of Yizhou to gather troops to raise troops, but all his actions were under Liu Zhang's nose, and at the moment when he felt that he was closest to victory, Liu Zhang destroyed him with his own hands.

The result speaks for itself, this elaborate rebellion was suppressed by Liu Zhang, and Zhao Wei fled to Jiangzhou. Soon, Zhao Wei was counterattacked by his subordinates Pang Le and Li Yi, and was defeated and died, and with Zhao Wei's death, the last old families and forces in Yizhou completely disappeared.

Instead, there were newcomers arranged by Liu Zhang, as well as those outsiders who had already been prepared, and it was also from that time that the wind direction of the people of Yizhou fleeing to Jingzhou completely changed, and it became that countless Jingzhou scholars ran to Yizhou to seek their help.

After Liu Xuande took over Yizhou, he did not give up this principle, and never let the local family in Yizhou develop too much, and also suppressed it with the Jingzhou faction.

At the same time, he vigorously suppressed the second-generation generals and officials, so that they would not have too many people in the court, after all, there are very few second-generation generals who can compare with their parents.

Although Jingzhou is getting stronger and stronger, Zhuge Liang and Li Yan are also suppressed, and Liu Chan has not fallen to the point where no one is available, on the whole, Yizhou is doing well.

Let's talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao made the cold door come out of nowhere with a recruitment order, and then directly carried the family down, this violent means of course made the family also keep counterattacking and pestering him, and finally Cao Cao can't say that he failed, but it was definitely not a success.

And Cao Cao's son, a guy who is more "weird" than his means, what is called weird, is talking about people like him, who is plain, took away the power of life and death, played with the family in applause, not to mention, and removed the hidden dangers left by his father's time, and by the way, cleaned up the power of the family from the frontier.

And the way to use is to reuse them, let them all come to Luoyang to harm themselves, and when they all enter Luoyang, he is almost arranged in all directions.

Although the Central Plains is now a mess of porridge, the Cao family still has enough strength to compete with them under the family, and the veterans and generals also firmly control the military power.

But on the other hand, Jiangdong, that is no longer a miserable and possible understanding, the Sun family was a big family of Wu County, not to mention the shadow of the family, Jiangdong is a magical place with dense families.

Each state and county, and even each county and county have the existence of a family, the four families of Zhang, Zhu, Gu and Lu are the ceiling of Jiangdong, and the rest of the Yu family, the Zhou family, and the Liu family are all one after another, making people dizzy.

Sun Ce cleaned up so many families, even the ceiling let him clean up a piece, and he also died, but in addition to leaving Sun Quan a huge Jiangdong in the past few years, there were enough outsiders.

Zhuge Jin and Zhou Gongjin, as well as Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, plus the people and horses who came to Xuzhou and other places to be Sun Ce, Tai Shici and other generals, as well as Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai and other bandits who ran rampant across the river, this group of people is enough to compete with the current family, and Sun Zhongmou's methods are also quite good.

But Jiangdong and Cao Liu are different, Sun Quan has one of the biggest problems, Jiangdong is not only a family, this will also be quite a lot of the second generation!

There are many veterans under the command of Liu Xuande in Xichuan and Cao Pi in the Central Plains, but there are not many second-generation generals who can take action.

Zhang Liao's son Zhang Hu, Le Jin's son Le Qi, Zhang Xiong's son Zhang Jaw and Xu Huang's son Xu Gai are all past the age of establishment, but it's a pity that they don't have any ability!

And although the Cao family and the Xiahou family are very strong now, they are not from the son-in-law.

Cao Xiu is a collateral line, and Xiahou Shang and Xiahou Ru are only the nephews of Xiahou Tang and Xiahou Yuan.

As for Cao Zhen, it was just a child that Cao Cao adopted at the beginning!

Originally, there was a Cao Zhang carrying it for the old Cao family, but now there is no more!

As for the strategists, the five great strategists back then are now only one old Jia Xu left!

But their sons are really not enough!

Guo Jia's son Guo Yi, Cheng Yu's son is Cheng Wu and Cheng Yan's two brothers, and Jia Xu's son Jia Mu are all unknown.

And the Xun family is doing well, Xun Yu has a total of seven sons, but they either died early, or they stood in the wrong team and died early!

The most famous is Chen Qun's brother-in-law, Xun Yu's sixth son, Xun Yi!

But it's just because he's not talented.

As for Xun You's son Xun Shi, this is a sick seedling at all, who knows that it will be gone that day!

As for the rest, there are a few old ministers, as well as newly selected civil and military generals!

As for the second generation of these officials, most of them are lords and eat titles and fortunes, and few people have created the glory of their fathers again.

As for Xichuan, not to mention, Guan Zhang, Zhao Ma and Huang are five generals who are called together, but none of the descendants can take a shot!

And Zhuge Liang has no biological son until now, Fa Zheng and Pang Tong have no queen, how good is this!

The second generation withered, this is the problem faced by Xichuan!

Compared with the Cao family and Xichuan, Jiangdong is the second generation of generals, if the second generation is not bright enough, then let the first generation help them shine.

We don't know if Sun Quan is really good to this group of generals for the second generation, or what's going on, anyway, this group of people wants soldiers and has power, although their reputation is not obvious, but they have a lot of rights.

In order to be able to win the local family in Jiangdong, Sun Quan did not hesitate to bring in outsiders and occupy a high position.

Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, Xu Sheng, Zhuge Jin, these people are not local people in Jiangdong, and it took a lot of effort for the local families in Jiangdong to suppress this group of people again, but maybe the destiny is not on them.

With the passage of time, the power of outsiders has grown, and their sons have become better and better.

On the other hand, the people of the four major families seemed a little lonely.

If a force wants long-term stability, then the excellence of his descendants is also indispensable, among the four major families, Lu Kang's descendants, Lu Ji and Lu Xun, and Gu Yong's descendant Gu Shao are all among the four major families.

Zhu Huan of the Zhu family, Zhu Zhi's adopted son Zhu Ran, who is also a general who is beginning to emerge now, as well as the whole family's Quan Zong, He Qi of the He family, these people have a great reputation, and they are also famous compared to the generation.

But this group of people relied on their own efforts to get a high enough official position and soldiers, especially Zhu Huan and Zhu Ran were both wasted years and experienced many life-and-death battles before they began to show their heads here.

On the other hand, Jiang Yi, the son of Jiang Qin, although he died, he was surprised by the position of many people in the Jiujiang Army he once led, although several sons of Lu Meng have now had victims, but they still have titles in their hands and some of Lu Meng's headquarters.

Jiangdong's military governance is problematic, they are accustomed to their sons inheriting their father's business, and they are also accustomed to bringing their father's soldiers and horses to their sons, so there are many second generations of officials and generals in Jiangdong.

Han Zong, the son of Han Dang, has not officially taken over Han Dang's soldiers and horses, and he has already begun to do some evil.

Zhou Tai's son Zhou Shao and the navy also had a conflict with Zhu Huan at the beginning, because Zhu Huan once opposed his father Zhou Tai to the position of governor of the city.

Although Jiang Qin's son Jiang Yi died, the soldiers and horses under his command also disappeared with him.

is Tai Shici's son Tai Shixiang, who has the position of a general, with soldiers and horses in hand, it is very difficult to take down his soldiers and horses, as well as Zhou Yu's son, Lu Su's youngest son, Zhu Huan's son Zhu Ju and others have also grown up slowly.

These second and even third generations have not actually experienced the fight of their parents, and Jiangdong wants to be in a quiet environment, so they have become a little comfortable, and even a little excessive.

Their group of people like extravagance and enjoyment more, and their parents are fighting desperately, so that this group of second and third generations is also a large number, and more and more official positions are placed in their hands, making the court in Jiangdong like a pool of stagnant water!

Ji Yan has long known about this matter, he is Shangshu Xuan Cao Lang, to put it bluntly, he is in charge of personnel.

As the selection of Cao Lang in charge of personnel, I am afraid that Ji Yan has long known the problems and drawbacks in the Jiangdong court.

And Ji Yan not only knows this, but also has her own thoughts about this group of people.

Ji Yan is a ruthless person, Mi Fang told herself before that this guy has an idea to implement the assessment in the court in Jiangdong, and those who are capable will continue to serve, and those who are incapable will be dismissed.

When Deng Zhi heard the news, his whole person was blindfolded, he really didn't know how such a thing became the choice of Cao Lang in Jiangdong?

Could it be that it depends on his unique whimsy of Yan?

He didn't know what he wanted to use to assess Deng Zhi, but Deng Zhi knew that no matter what the assessment, this group of boys would definitely not be able to bear it!

There is no need to deny this, their strong ability is just to fight with their father, and they still don't have the ability to fight with their lives.

But what's the use of that?

Could it be that they could do this without fighting him to the death?

The reason why the children of the family are obviously incapable but still give the monarch a headache is because of their relationship!

Their connections are very important and very powerful.

For example, he Deng Zhi, even if Deng Zhi's ability is not enough, he still has clansmen, world friends, and married people, etc.!

Pull a hair and move the whole body, talking about people like them!

There is nothing else between the various families of the family, that is, each family is marrying each other, and they are each other's relatives, look at the four major families in Jiangdong, they are almost the same as one person, if it weren't for the fact that the Lu family was basically defeated by Sun Ce, otherwise Lu Xun of the Lu family couldn't do it even if he wanted to recognize the thief as his father, and the old people of the family would crush him to death.

And what this guy wants to do now is to directly assess everyone, does he really not know what he is facing?

Although it is said that the current wealthy family in Jiangdong, the current powerful children are not as powerful as they faced during the Cao Mengde period, but he is not Cao Mengde, so Deng Zhi felt frightened and terrifying by this guy's thoughts.

At the same time, he also had some expectations, he knew that he would not dare to do this without Sun Quan's agitation, the growth of the wealthy family and the increase of the children of the powerful would affect the stability of Jiangdong, and at the same time, it would also make the court a little silent.

So the most worried and the most panicked about this matter is Sun Quan, but his position is too sensitive, he doesn't dare to have any excessive thoughts, if he moves, I'm afraid he will not face any turmoil or chaos, it is estimated that Jiangdong is gone.

And Deng Zhi appeared this time to tell Ji Yan that they hadn't thought about it yet, but Jiangdong was already in chaos, and if they didn't do it again, Jiangdong's reputation would be gone.

Sure enough, as Deng Zhi thought, when Ji Yan heard from Deng Zhi's mouth about the bribery of Jiangdong officials, his face was very bad, not because of what Deng Zhi said about accepting bribes.

It's because it came out of the mouth of Deng Zhi, the messenger of Xichuan.

This group of children of the family in Jiangdong can accept bribes or do evil, because of the efforts and desperate fighting of their father and even grandfather, they will also be forgiven and forgiven for any mistakes they committed, which their ancestors paid for with their lives.

But this kind of thing must not be known to outsiders, otherwise it will not be an internal matter between them, but a national affair.

"-sama?" Deng Zhi looked at Ji Yan in a daze, knowing what the reason was, but still asking knowingly, "What's wrong with you?" But because the villain gave too little? ”

Seeing that Deng Zhi was still struggling here because there were too few things to give, Ji Yan was even more awkward.

"Lord Deng Zhi, a certain family is a little uncomfortable today, so I'm sorry..." Ji Yan didn't finish his words, but Deng Zhi looked clear, and quickly got up to say goodbye.

When Deng Zhi left, Ji Yan's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and then he stretched out his hand to summon the servants in the house.

"Go find Xu Biao!"

"No!"

As the choice of Cao Lang, Ji Yan naturally also has his own henchmen, and Xu Biao is also one of them, and he is also his most important confidant, Ping Suli, who is quite used by him.

Ji Yan and others came to Xu Biao, and began to discuss with him in the mansion about the assessment of Jiangdong officials, but these things were spread out.

What kind of person is Ji Yan, Jiangdong doesn't know, he was recommended by the old minister Zhu Zhi, and he received an important blessing from Zhang Wen, such a guy, his character is so unique.

Ji Yan is not a high-ranking person in Jiangdong, but this guy is definitely a maverick in Jiangdong, especially the current Jiangdong.

This is a kind of people, a person who can ignore and care about nothing for the belief in his heart, so this kind of person is really terrible.

Ji Yan's action of recruiting Xu Biao into the mansion soon reached the ears of other people, they all knew what Ji Yan wanted to do, and they also knew what they would get in exchange for doing so, so many important ministers who recognized Ji Yan couldn't bear to let him kill himself like this.

"Prepare the car, the old man is going to the Jiyan Mansion!"

"Come on, give an invitation to Ji Yanxia!"

"Come on, quickly find Ji Yan and tell him not to move lightly!"

For a while, many ministers were a little panicked, they were not worried that this matter would affect them, but what they had to worry about was what would happen if this incident happened.

Among them, the representative figures are, Lu Xun, the governor of Jiangdong, Zhu Ju, the general of Jiangdong Wuguan Lang, and Lu Mao, who is also Cao Shangshu with him.

Jiangdong Metropolitan Governor Lu Xun came to visit directly, he is not afraid of shadows, and his eldest son is now dead before he comes out, the second son Lu Kang is still young, not to mention, he is the nephew of the Sun family, he is the least afraid of this kind of thing, because how to check has nothing to do with him.

So Lu Xun dared to visit.

"Lord Jiyan, please stop!" Lu Xun, who is over forty years old, is no longer in the army after he has achieved fame, although he has military power, but he does not look greedy for power.

Looking at Lu Xun, Ji Yan's attitude is still very good, just like Lu Xun himself thought, he has nothing to find fault with, after the Lu family separated, Lu Xun was left with his own small lineage, where is there any family that can continue to be promoted.

He has a variety of Lu achievements, he is a famous man in Jiangdong, and he is the eldest son and grandson of the lineage, he doesn't need Lu Xun's help, let alone Lu Mao, who is also loyal and upright, but his personality is not as stubborn as Ji Yan.

So when Lu Xun appeared, Ji Yan knew that this person was not for herself.

"Lord Lu Xun, please go back!" Ji Yan just saluted lightly to Lu Xun, and then continued to start various plans and assessment methods with his deputy Xu Biao.

Lu Xun didn't leave, and Ji Yan didn't bombard, so he let Lu Xun listen and watch from the side, but as Lu Xun listened more and more, his face became more and more ugly.

"Do you know what you're doing?" Lu Xun's face was gloomy, "If you are assessed like this, I am afraid that less than thirty percent of the people left in this court will be left!" ”

"If that's the case, then it's really a disaster for me in Jiangdong." Ji Yan suddenly slapped the table case angrily, "A certain family doesn't understand why there are less than thirty percent of the people available in this huge court!" ”

"It's .... They...."If Lu Xun was in front of others, he would definitely say that this was bought by their fathers and even grandparents with their lives, but he couldn't say it this time.

"Their fathers and grandfathers have paid so much for Jiangdong, we know, of course we know, we can't forget the contributions made by their family to Jiangdong, but a certain family can't let them rely on their father's efforts to harm their father and grandfather for the place they fought for!

If they cherish the efforts of their ancestors, then they should not do evil in their own position, and they should not cause trouble to the entire Jiangdong! ”

Lu Xun was a little overwhelmed by what he said, he didn't know what he should say about it, he knew that what Ji Yan said was really important, and what he said was really reasonable.

But this world doesn't mean that if you are right, you can do it right.

"You're not going to make it!" Lu Xun knew that he couldn't persuade this stubborn person, and Ji Yan's character was not something he could say that he could say, this was a person who couldn't say anything.

Lu Xun left, and Ji Yan ignored his departure as if this guy had never appeared, and continued to sit down on what he was doing.

After that, it was Zhu Ju's henchmen who begged him to stop, but Ji Yan still sent him out, and Ji Yan still didn't stop.

Zhu Ju didn't dare to appear in front of Ji Yan, he didn't have Lu Xun's posture and self-confidence, Zhu Ju is a general with facial features, and he is also a servant of the imperial history, but these are all rewarded by Sun Quan, Zhu Ju can be regarded as both civil and military, and he can also be called a talent.

But the reason why Zhu Ju got these things was only because he was a member of the Zhu family, and his brother was called Zhu Huan, who was now the famous Jiangdong general Zhu Huan.

According to Zhu's current position, he doesn't have any credit, he has the identity of the Zhu family of the four great families in Jiangdong, in other words, now Ji Yan is targeting people like him, and he really has no position to appear in front of Ji Yan.

In the early years of Huangwu, Sun Quan and the local families led by the four major families of Jiangdong reached an armistice agreement, and they no longer embarrassed each other, and Zhu Ju also ascended to the sky at that time.

Unlike his brother Zhu Huan, Zhu Ju was a five-official Langzhong from the beginning, and he was appointed as a servant of the imperial history.

When he knew what Ji Yan was going to do, he immediately sent someone to find Ji Yan, and warned him not to be impulsive, in Zhu Ju's view, the world is undecided, and it should be made up for with merit, discarded flaws, and commend the innocent to encourage the dirty, which is enough to stop and persuade them, if they are all deposed for a while, I am afraid that there will be trouble.

But for Zhu Ju's point of view, Ji Yan, who was extremely stubborn, still refused, and even chose to give up Zhu Ju's support, that is, he insisted on doing his own thing.

The last one to arrive was someone from the Lu family in Jiangdong, and Lu Mao, the younger brother of Lu Xun of the Lu family.

Like Zhu Ju, Lu Mao didn't dare to appear in front of him, Zhu Ju relied on the people of the Zhu family, Lu Mao relied on his reputation, and his current official position is not a general, there is no such thing as he has received anyone's favor.

Lu Mao loved to learn when she was young and kept her feelings.

Chen Rong, Chen Liuren, Pu Yangyi, Peijun Jiang Su, Guangling Yuan Di, etc., are all people who are born poor and ambitious, and they all get along with Lu Mao.

So much so that Xu Yuan, a native of the same county, moved to Huiji, did not know Lu Mao, and left a suicide note before his death, entrusting his young children to him, he built a tomb for Xu Yuan, and adopted and educated Xu Yuan's son. Lu Mao's uncle Lu Ji died very early, leaving two boys and a girl, both of whom returned to their hometown when they were only a few years old, and Lu Mao took them into his home to raise them, and did not separate until they grew up.

The states and counties in Jiangdong recruited and recommended him, but he did not go to take office.

This is the last time he was appointed as the same choice as Ji Yan Cao Lang, and then he became a better choice Cao Shangshu, which can be said to rely on his own reputation, but he didn't dare to come because of guilt.

What Ji Yan is doing now is what he wants to do, but it is also something he dare not do.

Rectifying the rule of officials, this is the dream of all Cao Lang, but in the end, there are very few who put this matter into practice.

After hearing that Ji Yan wanted to assess Jiangdong officialdom again, he asked Ji Yan to come over the house for a continuation, but Ji Yan ignored this request and replied directly that he was not available.

In desperation, Lu Mao could only give him a letter.

"The husband and saint are kind and foolish, forget to remember the merits, and beautify them. In addition, the king of the industry was built, will be unified, this is the time when Henkel abandons flaws and hires, if the good and evil flow is different, the evaluation of Gui Ru Yingyuedan, Cheng can be very vulgar and enlightened, but I am afraid it is not easy to do. Yiyuan model Zhongni's pan love, in the Guo Tai's Hongji, near the benefit of the avenue. ”

Then the letter was thrown directly into the brazier by Ji Yan, and he didn't even care about it.

As for what Ji Yan is going to do now, it will definitely set off a huge storm in Jiangdong, but this has nothing to do with Deng Zhi, his purpose is to use Ji Yan to muddy the water in Jiangdong, and only in this way, Zhang Wen, who is about to go out as an envoy, will be affected.

Deng Zhi came to Jiangdong, what he wanted was not just a simple alliance, what he wanted was to renew Xichuan's life again.

After Zhu Zhi, Zhang Wen recommended Ji Yan, what he valued was his character, which could inject vitality into this court, but he didn't expect that this guy with strong firepower would target them for the first time!

Zhu Zhi is already seriously ill, and he has a good nephew and a good son, Shi Ran!

The former Shi Ran finally became his adopted son Zhu Ran, and he was also famous in the first battle of Jiangling, and there was no problem with Zhu Ran inheriting Zhu Zhi's rights and status, of course he was also worthy.

But Zhu Zhi has these other sons, or after Shi Ran, Zhu Zhi gave birth to his eldest son, second son, third son, and so on.

Zhu Ran's meritorious service is understandable, but Zhu Zhi's title was given to his biological son Zhu Cai, which is understandable, but not only that, after Zhu Zhi's title of Marquis of Biling was booked by Zhu Cai, he also got the position of partial general.

You must know that a soldier may have to fight for twenty or thirty years before he can sit on the partial general, but Zhu Cai is already a partial general now.

Not only that, Zhu Cai doesn't have any great ability, and it can even be said that he has no talent, and he can't compare with his father and brother at all, but he is Zhu Zhi's biological son, which makes people have nothing to say.

In fact, Zhu Cai is not so incompetent, Zhu Cai is fine and agile, good at riding and shooting, and is a good one among the children of military generals.

And when he was very young, he served as a captain of the military guard because of his father, led the troops to follow the conquest, and often had the exploits of breaking the enemy, but these credits were very watery, to put it bluntly, the generals gave Zhu Zhi and Sun Quan face, that's all.

At first, the commentators in Danyang County thought that Zhu Cai was in glory and wealth when he was young, and he didn't pay enough attention to the township, so Zhu Cai also reflected on himself.

"When I first became a general, I said that I crossed the horse and fought the enemy, and when I was in the front, it was enough to make a name for myself, and I don't know how the township party will trace its moves!"

This is the result of his introspection, and then he began to learn the art of war with peace of mind, and by the way, he attracted his relatives and friends in his hometown, forming a small force, that is, Zhu Ran did not dare to underestimate him in the slightest.

This time Zhu Cai is one of Ji Yan's targets, not only him, but also his younger brother, Zhu Ji, who took Sun Ce's daughter and served as a lieutenant under Zhu Cai!

These two brothers are Ji Yan's targets, and they are also calculations for Zhu Zhi, for Zhu Zhi, who is already dying of serious illness, this is simply a slap in the face.

After that, Zhang Wen of the Zhang family, Gu Shao of the Gu family, and Lu Ji were all included in the assessment, and this scene made everyone think that he was provoking.

After Deng Zhi waited for three days, Ji Yan's assessment finally began, but he couldn't care about the results, because he knew that Zhang Wen had been recruited to King Wu's mansion for the second time.

In King Wu's mansion, Sun Quan looked at Zhang Wen in front of him, his face was actually quite hesitant, and he didn't know if he was doing it right.

Zhang Wen was born in the Zhang family of Wu County, and his father Zhang Yun is commonly known as the kind of righteous and wealthy person, countless people have received his favor, and their own talent may not be very high, but the number of contacts is really admirable, and networking is also an ability.

No one can say how Zhang Wen's ability compares with his father, but he looks strange and magnificent, his ability is also praised by others, and his cultivation and discipline are praised by others, so his reputation in Jiangdong can be regarded as not embarrassing to his father.

However, the identity of this person, as well as the status behind him, as well as the hatred between the Zhang family and the Sun family in Jiangdong, made Sun Quan a little embarrassed, but Sun Quan really couldn't find someone else to envoy.

Jiangdong seems to be full of talents, but most of them are generals, Lu Xun is the head of the Jiangdong metropolitan governor, as well as Pan Zhang and Zhu Ran and other confidants, plus Zhu Huan and other family generals, all of them are a group of people who lead troops to fight, and this kind of thing is not something that anyone can do.

There were Gu Yong, Zhuge Jin, Lu Su and others before, but now they are either dead, or they are already old, or their identities are simply inappropriate.

The so-called envoys are also confessors, their requirements are very high, they can't be too old, they must be good-looking, talented, and famous, otherwise they will go out and lose face, so Jiangdong can get his hands on Zhang Wen, and his status is still a little high, to be honest, let Zhang Wen be an envoy, some of his personal shame.

Obviously, Zhang Wen is the same, he doesn't want to be an envoy, he just went to Cao Wei at the beginning, and now he goes to Xichuan, he really doesn't like it.

"Qing should not go far away, I am afraid that Zhuge Kongming does not know why I have a common agreement with the Cao family, so Qu Qing goes. If the mountains and more are removed, they want to be built in Shu. The righteousness of the pedestrian is not subject to resignation. Sun Quan looked at Zhang Wen and said soft words in his mouth, hoping that this guy wouldn't make trouble for himself.

And Zhang Wen has been under Sun Quan for many years, and he also knows his habits, and it is not easy for Sun Quan to talk to him like this, so he sighed helplessly, and took this matter down, just to avoid the limelight, his protΓ©gΓ© has really not allowed himself to be happy recently.

"There is no rule of the heart, there is no special use, I am afraid that there is no merit of Zhang Lao's reputation, and there is no effect of having children. However, when Zhuge Liang saw the count, he would know that it was advisable for God to worry about Qu Shen, and he would be blessed by the court's heavenly overthrow, and his heart would be undoubtedly brightened. ”

Sun Quan gave him the right to arbitrarily make decisions on the spot, and Zhang Wen agreed to his request, and the two reached an agreement, and then Zhang Wen went to find Deng Zhi and went to the land of Xichuan with him.

When Deng Zhi saw Zhang Wen's arrival, he was obviously prepared, but he still pretended to be very surprised, there is a big one, what a big man Zhang Wen is, how could he become a messenger?

In this regard, Zhang Wen just smiled lightly, as for what he thought in his heart, no one knows.

On the way to Jiangdong, Deng Zhi walked slowly, but turned back to Xichuan and galloped all the way, as if he was afraid that Zhang Wen would run away.

In this regard, of course, Li Yan would not object, and directly called the generals around him and arranged for the accompanying protection.

Along the way, Zhang Wen looked at Xichuan, who had begun to slowly recover his vitality, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he didn't know why Xichuan, who had undergone such a big change, was able to restore normal people's livelihood so quickly, and it was still in the situation that Nanzhong was fighting.

"I've heard for a long time that the war in Xichuan and Nanzhong is tight, I don't know what is going on now?" Zhang Wen didn't say anything, he just asked directly.

Regarding the affairs of Nanzhong, Deng Zhi will not hide it at all, "The battle of Nanzhong is ongoing, but because the first thing I am waiting for now is the people's livelihood, I will directly defend and prevent the rebels in Nanzhong from rushing into the hinterland of our Chengdu."

In this regard, our monarchs and ministers of Shu Han are unanimous, and we must first settle down inside before we go outside, this is our goal! ”

Zhang Wen looked at Deng Zhi, who said his current situation without hesitation, and his heart was even more surprised at this time.

When Zhang Wen arrived in Chengdu, Yizhou, he found that he had changed his view of Xichuan, because Jiangdong, which should have been vibrant, was like a backwater at this time, but Xichuan, which had just experienced a big defeat and great changes, was full of vitality.

Liu Chan believed in Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang did not live up to Liu Chan, Liu Chan let the power out, and Zhuge Liang did not let the Jingzhou faction dominate, and even he saw that the Yizhou faction was slowly recovering its vitality and hope.

He was amazed.

When he met Liu Chan, he was even more surprised by this, although this young monarch still seemed very immature, but this immaturity made him feel that this young man was not simple.

Zhang Wen is not a stupid person, of course he knows what disguise is, but Zhang Wen also knows what the overall situation is, and Liu Chan is a person who knows the overall situation.

Deng Zhi told Liu Chan what he said in Jiangdong and Sun Quan without any reservations, and when he heard Deng Zhi say that when he was in Jiangdong, he told Liu Chan without hesitation that when he was acting in the name of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, Zhang Wen really pinched a cold sweat for him, for fear that something would happen to him and be questioned by Liu Chan.

But when he turned his gaze to Liu Chan, Liu Chan not only had no opinion, but agreed with this matter very much.

"I am still young, King Wu of Jiangdong is my uncle, naturally I don't look down on me, the prime minister is famous all over the world, and it should be so, you are very good!" Liu Chan's words were not pretending to be calm, nor were they trying to mention anything, looking at Liu Chan with a face full of nature and recognition, and Zhuge Liang, who was very natural, he thought of a word for the first time, and the monarch and the minister knew each other more than this!

At the same time, Zhang Wen also thought of several other pairs of monarchs, Liu Xuande and Fa Xiaozhi, Cao Mengde and Guo Fengxiao, Sun Bofu and Zhou Gongjin, as for his lord Sun Quan.... I'm afraid he doesn't have such a courtier who knows him.

However, after the narration was finished, the real banquet began, and after returning to the post house, Zhang Wen also began to enter the paperwork, which was written by himself, since Sun Quan handed over everything to Zhang Wen, then this kind of thing naturally does not need to be done by others.

"In the past, Gaozong forgave Yan Chang Yin Zuo in Zaixing, and became the king to Chong Long Zhou De in Taiping, and his merit was in Putian, and his voice was extremely reckless. Now His Majesty is smart, waiting for the deed to go to ancient times, always in Liangzuo, participating in the fine this shine, looking at the wind, all the joy. Wu Guoqin is the brigade force, Qingcheng Jianghu, willing to be with Youdaoping in a room, committing to the rules, like a river, the military is troublesome, and the service is lacking, which is to endure the shame of contempt, so that the subordinates are warm and affectionate. Your Majesty is courteous and righteous, and he is not ashamed. Ministers from (into) the far realm, and the suburbs, frequent labor, grace and edict, with glory and fear, frightened. I hereby enclose a letter of encouragement. ”

This letter is very sincere, maybe this is what he feels, maybe it is because his expectations for this place were too low before he appeared, so he felt this atmosphere here and became so sincere.

The meaning of this letter is also very simple, it is just praising the court of Xichuan Shu Han.

"The ancient Shang Gaozong mourning made the Yin Shang Guozuo revival and prosperity again, and the young King Zhou Cheng made the Zhou Dynasty rule the world peacefully, and their merits covered the world, and their prestige resounded all over the world.

Now His Majesty Liu Chan of Shu Han is equal to the ancient sages with his wise qualifications, and the virtuous ministers are in charge of government affairs, and the elite of the Manchu Dynasty is like a group of stars, and people from near and far look up to your demeanor, and they all come to rely on it happily.

We, Jiangdong Wuguo, are diligent in our military and national strength to stabilize the land south of the Yangtze River, hoping to unify the world with the king of the Tao, and work together to conspire with the same rules, just like the river without hesitation.

Now, of course, it is only because of the intensity of the fighting that we have too few troops to serve in the army, so we have to endure the humiliation imposed by the despicables.

Now, I, King Wu and Sun Quan, have sent my subordinate Zhang Wen to dredge up the situation and express friendship, hoping that the allies will not have any blame.

Your Majesty is a proprietor and should not be ashamed to ignore my request.

From the distant frontier to the outskirts of your capital, I have been frequently received with special gifts from your country, and my edicts have been passed on continuously, and I am terrified, surprised, and disturbed by this honor.

I have the honour to dedicate a letter from my Lord to His Majesty. ”

This letter, which even had a little sycophancy, made the Shu Han court very satisfied, and at the same time allowed Deng Zhi, a confidant in the Shu Han court, to find his purpose.

What is the purpose of his trip to Jiangdong, isn't it because he wants to form an alliance with Jiangdong, and at the same time to reach an alliance with Jiangdong that is beneficial to Xichuan, he asked Mi Fang, provoked Jiyan, and even flattered Zhang Wen, Jiangdong's envoy, just to make him feel that Xichuan's political situation is much better than Jiangdong.

Only in this way, this guy, who is also a straight intestine, will praise them, and after the praise, they will face a pair of broken things in Jiangdong.

During this time, Deng Zhi and Zhuge Liang were not idle, what Deng Zhi wanted to do also made Zhuge Liang very frightened, he really didn't know that there was such a bold guy in the court, who dared to calculate Jiangdong Sun Quan so much.

And looking at the current posture, it is already close to success.

During this time, he has also been investigating the news, and not long ago, Jiangdong finally started two things.

First, in the third month after Jiangdong was conquered by Cao Pi, Sun Zhongmou brazenly sent troops, and directly ordered the general He Qi, with Mi Fang, Xian Yudan, Liu Shao and other generals, to go out of Jiangdong, and at the same time, the general Hu Zong also sent troops from the side to attack Jinzong.

And at such a critical time, Jin Zong did not have any fear, but told the soldiers that they must abide by the city and wait for Cao Xiu's arrival, and he also issued a letter for help to him early.

But when He Qi and Hu Zong suddenly appeared under the city wall, Jin Zong did not wait for Cao Xiu's reinforcements, and not only that, he also heard another news.

Jiangdong's general Mi Fang persuaded many families in Xuzhou to make trouble, and for a time the whole Xuzhou was surrounded by bandits, not to mention, it made Lu Qian and Wang Xiang have a headache, Lu Qian has no soldiers and no generals in his hands, the people are not happy, Wang Xiang has just arrived, and the power in his hands is insufficient.

In the end, in desperation, Lu Qian could only ask Cao Xiu to suppress them, so as not to let them cause trouble to the Central Plains, and at this time, Jinzong's letter for help had just been sent, and Cao Xiu was doomed to not arrive.

In the first battle, Hu Zong and He Qi attacked the city wall, and then captured Jinzong alive, took this Qichun, which originally belonged to them, and quickly deployed Qichun.

In this battle, Jiangdong cooperated tacitly, and the attack was bold and fast, from Mi Fang to create opportunities, to those Jin Zong and then occupy Qichun in one go, which made people can't help but applaud.

And this battle also made the relationship between Jiangdong and the Cao family begin to change slightly, although Jiangdong still admits that he is a subject of the Cao family, but everyone knows that this is the appearance of the gods, the Cao family can't take care of him now, Cao Xiu has no time to deal with him now, things are already like this, can only wait for the queen to settle accounts.

And when Qichun won a big victory and He Qi proudly rearranged the defense line, a chaotic battle began within Jiangdong, this time it was a problem within Jiangdong.

Sun Quan's subordinate Cao Lang Jiyan directly began to use his identity to evaluate the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, as well as all the generals and colonels in the army, and the officials and officials of various counties and counties.

At this moment, he understood what it meant to poke a hornet's nest, because his assessment was very strict, not to mention, it was also very difficult, and the most important thing was the assessment results, not to leave three percent, but to be able to make a difference, but about one percent, the entire Jiangdong was rotten!

This time Ji Yan began, he impeached dozens of Jiangdong's courtiers in one go, and various departments basically scolded Jiangdong's courtiers over and over again, and he not only impeached everyone, maybe he was angry with this group of people, and directly began to turn over old accounts and insult them.

Ji Yan was originally upright and conceited, and he refused to follow the ups and downs of customs.

In addition, he was even more fond of discussing and judging people, trying to reform the various vices of selecting talents at that time without distinguishing between merit and ignorance, favoritism, and confusion.

Therefore, "catapult Jiangdong's civil and military officials, re-elect the three signatures, and the request rate is degraded, the number of losses is reduced, etc., and the people who keep the deceased are not one out of ten, and those who are greedy and despicable in their positions and humble in their ambitions are all thought to be small officials in the army, and they are placed in the camp and government." ”

At this moment, he really stabbed the hornet's nest, because of this group of people, who are these people who were impeached by him, either the elders in the family who shed their blood for Jiangdong, or the people who Sun Quan loved to be specially promoted.

And Ji Yan spoke very politely, saying that he was impeaching, but in fact it was more like scolding the street, it could be seen that he was really angry with this group of people, in his words, this Manchu Dynasty civil and military, what are the things, bullshit will not!

Ji Yan just wants to let those "second generation officials" and "third generation officials" from wealthy families go directly to the army to become military officials and learn from their fathers and brothers, which is completely equivalent to expelling them from the scholar class.

In this way, not to mention that they are not willing to do so in the second and third generations, can their grandfathers, fathers, uncles, and uncles who are still alive agree? This matter is a big problem, and the crowd is raging.

Ji Yan is not the slightest afraid, she is still constantly impeaching and criticizing them, and she doesn't care about their own impeachment, there is a posture of wanting to die with this group of people, and at the same time, there is a feeling that she wants to fight the world alone.

And not only that, Ji Yan also likes to turn over the scandals and old things of everyone and even everyone's father and brother, which directly makes everyone's face dull, and for a while, the entire Jiangdong court is discredited!

For this matter, everyone in the Jiangdong Dynasty is not stupid, and they directly started to fight back, and Ji Yan has already begun to do things without following the rules, and they have all begun to slap people in the face and scold people to expose their shortcomings.

Where will the many Jiangdong magnates, as well as those guys who have become old and sophisticated, be polite?

Dedicated private love gifts, not by justice!

This is the last charge of Ji Yan, who consciously commends the world's morality and is a model of morality in the world, and this crime was given to him by the entire Jiangdong.

In order to convict these two crimes, the entire court in Jiangdong moved, and the entire court in Jiangdong acted for the same thing, at this moment, Sun Quan, the mastermind behind the scenes, was a little shocked, and he finally saw what is called ironclad evidence.

Ji Yan can't turn over at all because of this kind of evidence, as for what he wants to do, he can't move at all, this group of second and third generations hasn't done anything yet, Ji Yan has been forced into a dead end by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Looking at the growing team and more and more excessive words, Sun Quan finally couldn't sit still and personally intervened in this matter, but instead of helping Ji Yan who got himself to such a point for the sake of his Sun family, he personally ordered Ji Yan to be convicted.

"In the past, Ji Yan's father and brother were attached to the evil rebellion, and the widow was unscrupulous, so he let it go, and he wanted to watch the beauty. Looking at the middle of it, the form is fruitful. ”

What is called a short slap in the face, this is the biggest slap in the face, isn't Ji Yan also born in a family, he is also a descendant of the family, but his father and brother were on the wrong team at the beginning, they were all against the Sun family, and then they were destroyed by the Sun family.

Now Ji Yan himself can be regarded as a thief as his father, he doesn't blame him for not saying it, he dares to be so presumptuous, cholera is in the middle, so he is a sinner, this simple sentence will Ji Yan into the abyss.

Moreover, in the official documents of the state of Wu, words such as evil rebellion and evil people refer specifically to those indigenous clans who rebelled against Sun's rule by force. To put it bluntly, Ji Yan has a "historical problem", she has just taken off her hat, infiltrated the Eastern Wu regime, and was beaten as a pioneer in trying to subvert the Jiangdong court at this time.

This made Ji Yan understand her ending, this is to let herself be ruined, let herself know her status, and then calm the current situation in Jiangdong.

Ji Yan committed suicide, it is said that he laughed wildly before he died, and towards the location of King Wu's mansion, he pulled out his long sword and killed himself, as for Ji Yan's deputy Xu Biao, he did not escape this ending, Ji Yan was killed all over the house, and Xu Biao was the same.

Ji Yan died, the second generation of officials and the third generation of officials of the southeast wealthy clan can be reinstated, this vast official turmoil, it seems that the curtain has come to an end, for Ji Yan's death, all the feelings and mourning are only three people, his fellow countryman Lu Xun, Lu Mao and Zhu Ju.

The performance of the three of them, even Sun Quan was only a little resentful but would not say anything, but at this time, Sun Quan really saw that he was really complacent, Jiangdong was still not the Jiangdong of his Sun family, and he Sun Quan could not compete with him at such a time.

At this time, Zhang Wen finally completed his covenant, and Zhang Wen, who was very happy with Xichuan, took the Jiangdong delegation and embarked on the journey back to Jiangdong, and this time it was still Deng Zhi, who was responsible for escorting them.

Jiangzhou, which is the junction of Soochow and Xichuan, is also the most important place.

At this time, the news of Sun Quan's Jiangdong had spread from Jiangzhou to Chengdu, and then to the hands of Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, and Deng Zhi, the confidant, so that the two of them finally looked at each other and smiled.

"Tomorrow, we will see off Mr. Zhang Wen!"

"No!"

In order to celebrate the smooth progress of this alliance, and in order to allow Zhang Wen to bring Xichuan's friendship back to Jiangdong, Zhuge Liang personally set up a banquet to see Zhang Wen off outside Chengdu.

But this send-off made Zhang Wen, who had always been satisfied, a little uncomfortable, because they had arrived, but they still didn't start, because they had to wait for someone.

Although he didn't know who he was waiting for, Zhang Wen didn't want to know, but Zhang Wen felt that this person really didn't understand etiquette, which was too much.

Soon, he saw the guy who didn't know how to be polite, General Zuo Zhonglang and Captain Qin Mi of Changshui, who looked quite ordinary, and couldn't see anything special.

After sitting down with each other, just after drinking two glasses of water and wine, Zhang Wen took the opportunity to get up and started the school examination towards everyone present, according to what he said, he asked for fun!

First pointed at Qin Mi and asked Zhuge Liang, "Who is this!" Although there is no word of blame, there is a sense of blame, and Zhuge Liang is also very humble, only said, "This is my scholar in Yizhou!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Wen began to criticize Qin Mi.

"Since you are a scholar in Yizhou, do you study?"

"Five-foot-tall children all study, so why should you underestimate people!" Qin Mi drank a glass of wine, which was very natural.

"Since you are studying, then Zhang Wen has something to ask, does the sky have a head?"

"There's a head!" Qin Mi drank a glass of wine again, "In the West, the Book of Songs says, 'So I am attached to the West', which infers that the head is in the West." ”

"In that case, does Heaven have ears?"

"The sky is high but you can hear the sound of the ground, and there is a saying in the Book of Songs, 'The crane chirps in the water, and the sound is heard in the sky'. If Heaven has no ears, what will be used to hear? Qin Mi drank a glass of wine again.

"Does the sky have feet?"

"Yes, the Book of Songs says, 'The steps of heaven are so difficult, that man is no longer reliable.'" If Heaven has no feet, how can we walk? Qin Mi drank a glass of wine again.

"Does the sky have a surname?"

After hearing this, Qin Mi, who had been saying a word and drinking a glass of wine, put the wine cup on the table this time, and corrected his mentality and demeanor!

"There is a surname."

Looking at Qin Mi who was so solemn, Zhang Wen was also interested, "What's the surname?" ”

"The surname is Liu."

"Why is the surname Liu?"

"Today's surname is Liu, so I know that the surname is Liu." This sentence is very dignified, and it also makes it a little difficult for Zhang Wen to continue, because the surname of the Son of Heaven is Liu, but at this time, there are two Sons of Heaven, and if Zhang Wen does not admit it, then there is no hope for this alliance, but if it is admitted....

The news that Jiangdong Sun Quan wants Xichuan to be a minister is afraid that it will spread all over the world the next day.

"Hehe..."Zhang Wen was noncommittal, but said another sentence, "The sun was born in the east, right?" ”

Since you said that the surname of the Son of Heaven is Liu, but this means that the future sun is in the direction of my Jiangdong.

And Qin Mi didn't have anything wrong when he heard this, he chuckled in everyone, and immediately made up for it, "Although it was born in the East, it will eventually end up in the West." ”

If hope is in the East, then if you continue to be so tough, maybe your hope will be destroyed in Xichuan, and this is a threat, a silent threat.

"Hahaha..... Good, very good, very good! Zhang Wen put down the wine bottle in his hand, and then bowed deeply to these people opposite, and this salute represented Jiangdong's admiration.

("Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Volume 38, Shu Shu VIII, Xu Lusun Jianyi Qin Biography VIII": In the second year of Jianxing, Prime Minister Liang led Yizhou Mu, selected Mi Ying as a farewell, and looked for Zuo Zhonglang General and Changshui Lieutenant. Wu sent Zhang Wen to hire him, and all the officials went to Yan. Everyone gathered and did not go, Liang was tired and sent to urge him, Wen said: "Who is he?" Liang said: "Yizhou bachelor also." Then, Wen asked, "Jun Xuehu?" Mi said: "Five-foot boys all learn, why bother villains!" Wen Fu asked, "Is there a head in the sky?" Mi said: "Yes." Wen said: "Where is it?" Mi said: "In the West." The poem says: 'It is to look at the west.' By pushing it, the head is in the West. Wen said: "Heaven has ears? Mi said: "The sky is high and the sound is humble, and the poem clouds: 'The crane sings in Jiugao, and the sound is heard in the sky.'" If they have no ears, how can they hear? Wen said: "Is the sky enough? Mi said: "Yes." Shiyun: 'The sky is difficult, and the son is not the same. If it is not sufficient, how can it be stepped? Wen said: "Does the sky have a surname? Mi said: "Yes." Wen said: "What's your surname?" Mi said: "The surname is Liu." Wen said: "How do you know? He replied: "The surname of the Son of Heaven is Liu, so he knows it." Wen said: "Born in Donghu? Mi said: "Although he was born in the east, he was not born in the west." The answer was like a sound, and the answer came out, so Wen Da was convinced. Mi's literary arguments are all like this. οΌ‰
