In Shuzhong, which has been in Jian'an for seven years, the atmosphere has been very panicked since the end of the New Year. In particular, the Mianzhu-Chengdu region, which is the core of the rule, has been the scene of several political upheavals.

The reason is self-evident, during the decisive battle in the Central Plains, the Shuzhong side may have been blind to the possible war because of the partial peace and luck mentality, so that after the real catastrophe came, it was embarrassed.

In other words, the situation in Shuzhong at this time is really slightly different from other places.

From the basic point of view, the local heroes naturally need not say much, they have manpower and material resources wherever they are the main theme and knife handle of trouble; At that time, the so-called Dongzhou scholars in Jingzhou, Sanfu, and Luoyang who came in with Liu Yan naturally did not need to say much, as the foundation of foreign political leaders, the desire to plunder politics and wealth was also natural.

And the contradiction between the two has always been the main theme in Shu.

In addition, there are also a large number of local Taoism, Ban Yuman, Di people, Nanban and other local Taoism and ethnic minority forces in the Yizhou area, almost everyone has a knife and gun, and all of them cannot be underestimated.

However, a very interesting thing here is that the right surname of the indigenous people in the Bashu region, that is, the so-called family that has been officials for generations, is actually absent in the political arena of Shuzhong today, or is speechless...... It's not going to be long!

However, the reason for this is simple.

First of all, the Bashu region has always been underdeveloped in culture and education in the Later Han Dynasty, and the Yizhou clan is naturally weak.

Secondly, in Yizhou under the rule of Liu Yan, the leaders of the local clan have been absent, and the highest-ranking Chengdu Zhao clan (Zhao Dian and Zhao Qian) happened to be isolated in the Sanfu region before Dong Zhuo's rebellion, and they have not returned yet; However, Jia Long, Ren Qi and other local scholars who had reached a rapprochement with Liu Yan in the early stage became cannon fodder in the air battle between Liu Yizhou and Zhao Sikong, and were killed by Liu Junlang to cross the river and demolish the bridge.

In other words, today's political situation in Yizhou is actually Liu Yan leading foreign Dongzhou scholars to unilaterally oppress the local forces, and the local forces have no strength, but due to the lack of scholars and leaders in the top positions, it is often difficult to express their political voice. Even, Liu Yan and his son seem to have lost the trust of the local scholars.

This strange political situation may be able to be maintained without external pressure, but once a major incident occurs, it will inevitably lead to serious consequences due to the loss of buffers and channels for dialogue.

Back to the present, on this day, because of the Han'an guard, Sima Yang Hong of the other department openly rebelled, echoing the Yan army, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, who was already old and handed over most of the power to his eldest son, but it was rare to get out of Mianzhu City in worry, and went outside the city to worship and pray for blessings.

The place of prayer is more than 20 miles away in the north of the city between a mountain field, it is said that at this time last year, the eldest son of Yizhou pastor, now Guanghan Taishou Liu Fan had seen a Pixiu here, Pixiu said that Liu Yan is virtuous in Shu, and his son is also in the position of the minister, no disease and no disaster, eighty and died.

Immediately, this place became the place where the Liu father and son sacrificed daily.

Che Linlin and Ma Xiaoxiao, in early summer, Liu Yan rarely went north with a full guard of honor, but he dispatched hundreds of cars in one go, attracting Mianzhu Shimin to watch along the street.

And Liu Junlang was worried, but there was no excitement, and he was getting older, lacking strength, and he was getting more and more tired.

That's not all, when the car arrived in front of the city gate, there was suddenly another gear breakdown...... The axle of one of the cars broke halfway, blocking Liu Yan and his party on the street.

This is actually quite reasonable.

It must be known that Liu Yan's cars were made by him after he killed Jia Long and Ren Qi and controlled Yizhou for a while, and he had the ambition to be the emperor, so they were built to serve as a façade, which is an illegal product. As a result, as soon as the front foot was made, Gongsun Xun broke Chang'an on the back foot, and Liu Biao also stabbed this matter to everyone in the world, so he attracted Liu Yan's cousin Huang Wan to come here, and specifically asked him why he was so rebellious?

Therefore, this batch of high-end cars, which have reached more than 1,000 numbers, has been stored in a military camp in Mianzhu City since they were built, and they have been well maintained throughout the process, but they have not been used once...... It's just that occasionally when Liu Junlang is uncontrollable, he will sneak over, sit in the barracks and enjoy it, and it is convenient to have a dream at night.

And now, Sun Xun, the grandfather of Yan, tore his face, and he had to eat Yizhou hard to live or die, so he Liu Yan broke the jar and broke it, put the car out, and enjoyed the treatment of the Son of Heaven.

However, there are hundreds of cars that have not been used for so many years, and once they are on the road, it is strange that they do not break a few!

Liu Yan probably understood this truth in his heart, but he had always been superstitious, so when he saw the soldiers cleaning up the broken car, he inevitably felt depressed on the surface...... After all, his people have the heart to turn back at this time, and they are afraid of showing cowardice in front of the people of Mianzhu; I have the heart to continue to worship in the north of the city, but I am afraid that there will indeed be a bad omen today.

But the matter is not over yet, just when Liu Yan, who was dressed in Shu brocade and radiant, was sitting on the street and couldn't advance or retreat, suddenly, taking advantage of the stagnation of the convoy, someone actually came to the street to pay respects and raise a book to ask for the right.

Liu Yan saw that it was a somewhat familiar high-crowned scholar, and when he asked, he knew that it was a local celebrity in Yizhou, and he was helpless, so he asked people to present the document in public, but when he opened it, he was furious!

It turned out that this Chen Wei actually persuaded Liu Yan not to resist the trend of unification, but to let go of Baishui Pass and Jiameng City, and raise Yizhou to surrender to the north, only in this way can Yizhou be saved from the scourge of swords, so that Liu Yan and his son can seize that glimmer of life.

"Yizhou dogs are not allowed to be used!"

Liu Yan was furious, stood up directly from the car, and then made rude remarks at the entrance of the street.

As soon as he said this, he knew that he was speechless, because the surrounding soldiers turned around, and even the coachman who was driving the car looked back at him in amazement, you know, the coachman is also from Yizhou.

In fact, as soon as this kind of remark came out, it was said that the Yizhou people who were scolded, and even the subordinates who were born in Dongzhou who accompanied him were embarrassed for a while...... Dignified Yizhou pastor, no matter what, he won't lose his temper to this point, right?

Liu Yan knew that he was speechless, and he became more and more ashamed, so he could only cover his face with his sleeves in embarrassment, and hurriedly ordered him to turn around and go home. However, the convoy was too long, and it took a lot of time to get out.

When he returned home, he personally ordered him to be arrested and tortured in prison.

Since the isolation of the Zhao family, Ren Qi and Jia Long have died, and Qian Yan, as a rare local scholar, was imprisoned for persuasion, coupled with Liu Yan's public gaffe, 'Yizhou dogs are not used', but it attracted a rare unanimous rescue from Yizhou.

Even the Dongzhou scholars have spoken out one after another, persuading Liu Yan not to indiscriminately kill and damage morality for a corrupt Confucian speech, that is, Liu Yan's confidant, the former Han Taicang Commander Zhao Wei, also handed over a letter on the way to Han'an, urging Liu Yan to focus on the overall situation, and at this time, do not disturb the hearts of the people in Yizhou.

It stands to reason that Liu Yan is not a fool, under such a critical situation, in the face of such turbulent public opinion, when the anger subsides, he should have been released. or if you can't wipe off your face, you can also get off the donkey and let your son Liu Fan come forward to let people go.

However, unexpectedly, after the incident broke out, Liu Yan did not let anyone go at all, but refused all the advice because he was sick. There are even rumors that Liu Fan personally went to intercede, but it was useless, but in exchange for Liu Yan holding the eldest son in one hand and the second son in the other, he whispered a sentence:

"Everyone in Shu wants to kill you, my father and son! In addition to brothers, they are all enemies! ”

After the news spread, even those close to him felt that Liu Yan was really old and confused.

"Gentlemen, now that Shu is worried about internal and external troubles, I am a son of man, and I should share my worries for my father, you are a minister and a friend, please be sure to think of countermeasures for me." In the early summer of April, in the increasingly inextricable Mianzhu City, Liu Bodao, the eldest son of Yizhou Mu and Guangyuan Taishou Liu Fan Liu Bodao, spoke earnestly and asked for help from his subordinates and guests.

"I thought it was better to let people go."

There were no less than dozens of people in the hall, and after taking care of each other, it was naturally Zhonglang who treated Pang Xi as a teacher, and he was Liu Fan's wife and brother, in front of Liu Fan, there was a faint feeling that Zhao Wei was to Liu Yan, so he always spoke directly. "Bo Dao, when is this time? The north Yan reverses the trend of the world to Linshu, such as Mount Tai pressing the top, although the danger of mountains and rivers is enough to resist the enemy, but also the internal people's hearts are not scattered! In any case, at this time, it is necessary to release the people as soon as possible to show their sincerity, not to mention any indiscriminate killing. ”

Since Pang Xi spoke, the rest of the subordinates and guests also spoke one after another, but most of them echoed this meaning, as if they had already made a conclusion. However, for a while, the entire Guangyang Taishou Hall was actually full of accents from Jingzhou and the Central Plains, and a few local officials in Shuzhong did not dare to speak at all, which was also interesting.

It has been more than thirty years, and Liu Fan, who has a neat beard, heard this, but sighed: "That is the case, wait for a little while, I will go and beg my father again, if he still does not agree, I will secretly release people, and the matter of the province will be turbulent again." ”

Only then did the hall settle down.

And at this moment, suddenly, a person in the banquet suddenly spoke, but it was a Shu accent, which attracted the attention of everyone in the hall: "The minister heard that Jiang Gan, Jiang Ziyi, the governor of the southwest of Longxi and the old friend of the prince, recently had a book in front of the monarch, I don't know what the words are?" ”

Liu Fan fixed his eyes, but it was a rare local scholar under his command, called Zhang Song, who was born in Chengdu Zhang, but it was the representative of the local scholar who was promoted by Liu's father and son after the death of Jia Long and others...... Of course, the representative figure of the Zhang family is not Zhang Song, but Zhang Su who is guarding for Qianwei, Zhang Song is Zhang Su's younger brother, because of his short appearance and ugly posture, so he can only rely on his brother's face to be a guest in the county government with Liu Fan.

As soon as he saw that it was this person, Liu Fan couldn't help frowning slightly, but he still responded patiently: "Ziyi is elegant and elegant, only talking about the old things, and there is no word of persuasion......"

"Jiang Ziyi is certainly elegant, but why didn't the prince take the opportunity to use this traffic to the north in order to descend early?" Zhang Song's beard was facing each other proudly, and his Shudi accent and ugly face became more and more harsh.

"How can I get down?" Without waiting for Liu Fan to refute, Pang Xi directly blackened his face. "Yan Rebellion is good at killing and surrendering people, if it falls, you and I can still be reluctant, such as Liu Yizhou's father and son?"

"Why should Pang Jun deceive himself?" Zhang Song sneered more and more. "Lu Bu is a villain repeatedly, it's not a pity to die, Liu Yizhou surrendered himself, he has no merit, why be afraid of others? And Liu Sima is also Liu Yizhou's father and son, isn't it also quite courteous to go to Ye this time? Why did he return to Mianzhu, but was told by the villain, saying that he secretly connected to the north, so that he was grounded in the house? Pang Jun, I won't say that the villain is asleep, only that Liu Yizhou's father and son are not enough to fight against Yan Gong's weight in the world, just like a blind man riding a blind horse, approaching a deep pool in the middle of the night. And you can see it clearly from the side, not only do you not stop, but shout and cheer, such a posture, I am afraid that once Liu Yizhou's father and son surrender, they will lose the opportunity to become a powerful minister and dominate Shuzhong? According to me......"

"Yizhouzi!" Hearing this, how could Pang Xi endure it, he directly rushed to the crown angrily, kicked away a few cases, and then got up and pulled out a knife in the middle of the seat, pointing at each other from afar.

And Zhang Song was still not afraid, but laughed: "I also persuaded Liu Fujun to focus on the overall situation and rescue Chen Rongshi." Now you want to kill me, Yizhouzi, for just words? It's still in open deliberations. Could it be that I also felt in my heart, 'Yizhou dogs are not allowed to be used'?! ”

As for the end, Zhang Song also directly overturned the previous cases, and bared his head high, his face was hideous, and his provocative posture was clear and unmistakable.

And although Pang Xi was in a high position and held a sharp blade, he couldn't go any further, but under Liu Fan's forced gaze, he had no choice but to retreat with a knife in anger.

"Zhang Caopeng." Liu Fan had no choice but to see his wife and brother leave, but he still had to explain to Zhang Song. "It's not that I don't want to surrender, and my father had a personal grudge with Yan Gong when he was in Hebei...... If he falls, my brother may live, but my father is not sure, and at this time, as the son of man, what can he do but help him to defend against foreign enemies? ”

Zhang Song smiled dumbly, didn't say much, just bowed his head, and walked away.

Liu Fan also had killing intent in an instant, but he was helpless.

In this way, the serious large-scale deliberations that were originally going to discuss military strategies and other countermeasures were only reiterated to rescue Chen Rongshi's political correctness, and they broke up unhappily.

Liu Fan left the scene in embarrassment and went to comfort Pang Xi, while the rest of the subordinate guests left with their own thoughts.

Two of them, one handsome and one ugly, the handsome one was crowned, and the ugly one was about eighteen or nineteen years old, and he had never even brought the Jinxian crown, and he had been sitting side by side in the corner, and only when everyone else had left, did he talk in a low voice, and then got up and turned back to the backyard of the Taishou Mansion, but he cleaned up in a guest room...... It turned out that these two were cousins, and the one who was the elder brother, who was also handsome, was now Liu Fan's guest, and he may have never been taken seriously.

Since the two brothers packed their bags, they went to find Liu Fan to say goodbye, but when they heard that Liu Fan was drinking with Pang Xi in the backyard, they didn't bother to say much, but went out on foot and went out of the city.

However, Liu Fan doesn't value these two people, but some people do, Liu Fan's cousin Fei Shang Fei Boren (Fei Yi's uncle) is the one who recommended the elder brother, and he specially looked for him after the discussion.

However, Fei Boren obviously chased in the wrong direction, he first thought that the other party should be going back to his hometown in Jingzhou, so he went to the southeast road, but chased out for twenty or thirty miles and could not find a figure, but suddenly woke up, turned to the north, and finally chased the two brothers in the evening at a pavilion in the north of the city.

"Mountain people, why don't you say goodbye?" Fei Boren was tired and couldn't breathe, but as soon as he entered the hospital, he was still overjoyed when he saw the pair of brothers who were sitting on the mat in the pavilion.

"Brother Boren, why is this so?" The man called the mountain people saw that the other party was chasing after him regardless of the hard work, and he was also emotional, so he got up from under the tree in the pavilion to greet him and gave his hand. "Ji Ben is young, since he was a tourist scholar, he devoted himself to studying, but he saw that the situation in the world was gradually peaceful, and he took advantage of the situation to become famous, so he came to Shuzhong for a visit. And now Liu Yizhou's father and son employ nepotism, and I don't mean to care, it's a big deal to take my brother to Yexia to study for the imperial examination, what about the others? ”

Fei Shang was extremely embarrassed, so he stepped forward to hold the other party and sat down on the seat under the tree in the courtyard, and then called the pavilion chief to take warm water to use, and after quenching his thirst a little, he reluctantly spoke: "It's the foolish brother who thinks too much, but the foolish brother is the wife of the Liu family, and he can't help but have the idea of doing his part for the Liu family. ”

The handsome man, that is, the son of Pang Degong, Pang Ji Pang Shanmin, was amused for a while when he heard this, so he pointed to the ugly young man beside him and said: "I don't mean that even Boren is also a person who judges people by his appearance...... Although my brother Pang Tong is young, he is the person who can do my Pang family heritage, I traveled west this time, all to listen to his words, today he persuaded me to go north, I directly abandoned Shu and prepared to go north...... Boren is looking for talents, why only look for me? ”

Fei Shang was stunned for a moment.

And the ugly young man, that is, Xiangyang Pang Tong, also laughed for a while when he heard this: "What? If Han Xin is so good-looking, won't Xiao He chase after him? ”

Fei Shang was even more embarrassed, so he avoided the table and bowed seriously to Pang Tong on the ground: "It's to judge people by their appearance, please forgive me." ”

Pang Tong didn't care when he saw that the other party was so polite, but just smiled slightly: "The foot is so earnest, there is nothing to reciprocate, only a word to give, and only a gift in return." ”

"Please take a step and see me."

"Everyone in Shu wants to kill Liu's father and son, and it's better to get out early." Pang Tong earnestly relatively.

Fei Shang was stunned for a while, but as a close relative of the Liu family, he knew Liu Yan's words that day, so he couldn't help but ask: "I am stupid, please try to solve my doubts." ”

"It's easy." Pang Tong calmly replied under the tree. "Do you know why I persuaded my brother to take me to Shuzhong?"

"I don't know."

"Actually, I am in Jingzhou, I only feel that although Jingzhou does not want to surrender, but if Yizhou and Jiaozhou fall, Jingzhou will be surrounded on three sides, but it can only be tied up and bowed under the sword of Yan Gong, so I want to come to Yizhou to see...... At that time, what I thought was that Yizhou and Jingzhou seemed to be like going up and down, but the mountains and rivers were dangerous, or they could be the soldiers of Hebei. But after coming here, I found that the hearts of the people in Yizhou had already collapsed, and only the Liu father and son were unwilling to submit to Er......"

Fei Boren suddenly interjected: "I think that why my uncle and cousin are unwilling to surrender, is it for Lu Bu's business?" ”

"Lu Bu is just a saying, his death is for Cao Cao, everyone in the Central Plains knows about this matter, Liu Jingzhou may have this concern, in Liu Yizhou, it is really just an excuse for old age and fear of death." Pang Tong, who didn't know that Liu Biao was no longer Liu Jingzhou, smiled right. "There is always a risk of surrender, but it is only as implied by Liu Fujun himself today, his father is unreasonable, old and poor, superstitious, greedy for life and afraid of death, so he is unwilling to surrender...... As for Liu Fujun himself, today's Zhang Caopeng said it very thoroughly, Liu Fujun is young and vigorous, plus he has tasted power for the first time, so he doesn't want to let go from the bottom of his heart! This matter can be known from the Pixiu incident, he was the one who refuted superstition in the past, and he was the one who later falsely claimed to be supernatural, but wasn't it all for the sake of the son to inherit the father's business? ”

Fei Boren couldn't refute it.

"But that's exactly how these two people got into trouble." Pang Tong continued to speak slowly, but he couldn't help but sigh. "I only learned today that Liu Yizhou was the earliest, but he was the most unsure of the hearts of the local people! In other places, there are also local and foreign disputes, which were once inextricable, but most of them were at the beginning of the establishment of the industry. For example, Liu Xuande, Cao Mengde, and Yan Gong, and even Liu Jingzhou, began to have regional disputes, but they were able to stabilize the place on the one hand, and try to reward and punish them as much as possible, so later, they gradually did not get tired of this matter, but here in Yizhou, it is so unbearable......"

Fei Shang became more and more silent.

"Do you know? The reason why Jingzhou was arrogant, and the reason why Yan Gong did not take Jingzhou first was because in Jingzhou, not only Liu Jingzhou was unwilling to surrender, but the family was also worried that he would not be able to take a position in the north after surrendering, and he was even more worried that Yan Gong would be unable to protect his family property, so he was reluctant to ...... Dare to ask how Yizhou is? "Pang Tong finally pointed out the key point." The local people and Haoqiang were bullied and oppressed to this by the Dongzhou scholars, they can't be officials, and they have to be invaded excessively, who will sell their lives for Liu Yizhou? Yang Hong's rebellion is proof of this! The persuasion to surrender is also a clear proof! Today's ridicule of Zhang Song's presence in the hall is even more proof! ”

"There are also Dongzhou Shi ......," Fei Shang couldn't help but say again.

"It's Dongzhou Shi, most of them are immigrants from other places, but there are also more monks and less porridge, right?" Pang Tong couldn't help but sneer. "In Shuzhong, there are only four or five million people, and only a very few people benefit from those official positions, and most people can only barely make ends meet, right? Now that most of their hometowns are controlled by Yan Gong, it is inevitable to have two hearts, right? There are some loyal people, but they also gather to Liu Yizhou's side because of profit, and they gather because of profit, but how can they die for Liu Yizhou? The locals regard Liu Yizhou's father and son as enemies, and Dongzhou Shi dislikes Liu Yizhou and can't satisfy them, so what if their father and son are one? Liu Fujun is young and may have made a difference, but didn't Yan Gong give him time? The army is pressing, and Shuzhong is in chaos, which is the dangerous checkpoints along the way, and it will take a year or two to survive, and the rear will be chaotic, what can it do? ”

Pang Tong said that as for this, he will not say more.

And Fei Shang was sweating profusely, and he opened his mouth to speak for a long time, but he suddenly got up and saluted: "Please wait for me, my brother Fei Guan and my nephew Fei Yi are in Mianzhu, I will bring them out, and then ask for a messenger, let's go north together...... How is it? ”

——————I am the dividing line of the sacrificial Pixiu——————

"Yang Hongzi Ji Xiu, Qianwei Wuyang people also. Liu Yanshi was the Sima of the other department...... Taizu cut down Shu, the soldiers were not sent, Hong Yiyan father and son coerced Dongzhou Shi to oppress Shu Zhongshi, and Qianwei Taishou Zhang Su brothers discussed raising troops to call Taizu. Su was a little afraid, and wanted to wait for the Taizu soldiers to come to Baishui and block the flood a little, about three months. Hong said: 'Hanzhong is the throat of Yizhou, and the opportunity to survive is not Hanzhong, but there is no need for Shu. Today, Yan Gong is based on Hanzhong, Bajun is like a lost arm, Guanghan is like a lost head, and Yan father and son have lost the hearts of the people, such as losing their liver and gall, March or has died, why do you doubt sending troops?
