Lou Fa's words, no wonder it caused Shen Tan to feel strange, you know, Liu Shan just said that they won the mediocrity under the banner of Jin Jue, but Lou Fa was so surprised that he didn't seem to know Jin Jue's achievements at all.

Liu Shan was so assigned, and the three of them had no opinion.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hanzhong County had nine counties under its jurisdiction, namely Nanzheng County, Chenggu County, Xicheng County, Baozhong County, Chuyang County, Anyang County, Xi County, Shangyong County and Fangling County. Among them, the four counties in the western part of Hanzhong are Xicheng County, Xi County, Shangyong County and Fangling County, these four counties are located in remote areas, although they nominally belong to Zhang Lu, but the county order is a local hero, and the strongest is Shen Tan.

Xicheng County is located in the westernmost part of these four counties, the essence of Hanzhong County is the closest, and it is also the frontier of Mian County from the western part of Hanzhong, so this county must be obtained.

On the contrary, Fangling County is located in the southeast of Hanzhong County, the closest place to Jingzhou, and temporarily handing it over to Shen Tan can not only temporarily alleviate the pain of this person's loss of Shangyong County, stabilize his heart, but also sever the connection between him and Hanzhong County.

If Shen Tan took this opportunity to surrender to Liu Biao, it wouldn't matter.

In the original history, Fangling County was indeed occupied by Liu Biaoshuo, and the county order was one of the four surnames in Jingzhou, Kuai Qi, who was the one killed by Meng Da.

"Envoy Liu, what are your plans next?" Releasing the doubts in his heart, while everyone was there, Shen Mi asked.

"In the next, hehe, of course, I will return to Luoyang as soon as possible and return to my son. Three, to be honest, Childe actually has more important things, waiting to do it! Liu Shan replied with a smile, and after speaking, he pondered it again and reminded: "Three generals, please forgive me for saying more, now, Shangyong County is in the hands of General Shen."

And General Lou and General Shen will definitely be able to take Xicheng and Fangling smoothly, after that, the three of you don't need to do anything more, just manage the existing territory. The three generals can rest assured, next year, my son-in-law will definitely easily take Hanzhong County! ”

……

When Liu Shan bid farewell to the three generals, he returned to Xixian alone.

Xixian and Yunguan are now each sent by Shen Mi and Lou Fa to send a subordinate cronies, each leading 300 people to guard the two places. This is the suggestion put forward by Liu Shan after conquering these two places. Because Shen Mi was going to guard Shangyong County, the richest of the four counties in the western part of Hanzhong County, Lou Fa's people were responsible for guarding Xi County, while Shen Mi's people were guarding Yunguan.

Just when Liu Shan first arrived in Yunguan, Shen Fa, the guard general here, got the news and hurriedly came to see Liu Shan in person, and as soon as they met, he hurriedly reported: "Envoy Liu, there is a young man outside the pass, with some subordinates, who has been shouting to take refuge in Jin Gongzi. The villain didn't know the roots of this person, so he didn't dare to let him in. I have sent someone to Shangyong to inform you and General Shen, you just happened to come, what can you do? ”

Liu Shan thought for a moment and asked, "Oh! Can someone give their name? Have you ever found Ganning's centaurs among those people? By the way, what kind of accent did the young man use when he spoke? ”

No wonder he thinks of Gan Ning, when Shen Mi and Lou Fa betrayed Fancheng, they did something inauthentic, not only took away all the grain and grass sent by Liu Biao this month, but also made Liu Biao suspicious of Gan Ning. The three of them led the army in Fancheng together, and the two defected, Gan Ning wanted to say that he didn't know, I'm afraid he wouldn't believe it himself, so Liu Biao wouldn't believe it.

Therefore, if Gan Ning wants to prove himself to Liu Biao, he must at least take the head of either Shen Mi or Lou Fa in order to prove his innocence.

Using an accent to identify the origin of a visitor was taught to him by Jin Jue before Liu Shanlin set off. The purpose was for him to find the generals and soldiers who had defected to Jingzhou in Yizhou. Unexpectedly, it was used here.

"No, Envoy Liu, the villain has carefully observed. This is guaranteed by the villain. The young man revealed that he was from Nanyang and Zaoyang County, his name was Wei Yan, and his accent was a native of Nanyang. When the young general heard this, he patted his chest and replied.

As a native of Yizhou, he naturally knew how powerful Gan Ning was, so he didn't let those people enter the customs easily, he was just to prevent Gan Ning from sending Jingzhou soldiers and pretending to surrender to them to deceive Yun Pass.

"Wei Yan?" Jin Jue didn't expect Wei Yan to appear so soon, so he went to Jingzhou to find the two generals under Liu Bei in advance and asked Liu Shan to go to Jingzhou.

Wei Yan and Huang Zhong, as soon as Wei Yan came out of the mountain, he and Huang Zhong went to Yizhou with Liu Bei and Pang Tong to resist Zhang Lu. That year, it was already the sixteenth year of Jian'an, and Wei Yan's real age was not indicated in the history books.

And Huang Zhong must have been a general under Liu Biao at this time, but now he is also an ordinary general under Liu Biao's nephew Liu Pan. This is, Jin Jue doesn't think that his fame can attract Huang Zhong.

Unexpectedly, Wei Yan didn't know where to hear about Jin Jue's reputation, and learned the whereabouts of Shen Mi and Lou Fa's march, not only did he appear in advance, but he also found here.

"Let's go, it's okay to ask!" In any case, it is not a bad thing to go and meet the other party first, so Liu Shan immediately ordered.

When he came to the Guancheng of Yunguan, Liu Shan looked down at the Guancheng, good guy, the young man led by him was heroic, but the subordinates he led were much worse than those of Jin Jue at the beginning, saying that the thieves all looked down on them, and they were clearly a group of homeless people.

"Boy, I heard that your name is Wei Yan and my name is Liu Shan, let me ask you two things first, do you know who you are here for? If so, where did you hear about my son-in-law? Liu Shan asked tentatively.

"It turned out to be the messenger, and the kid was Wei Yan, a native of Zaoyang. The one who came to defect was the son of Jin Jue, the Taishou of Wudu County, and the kid was right. As for where I heard about it, I can't hide it, but you told me, Envoy Liu. One of the boy's fellow villagers was Gan Ning's subordinate, and when he heard about you that day, he thought it was a joke and secretly told me. Wei Yan looked up and saw that it was Liu Shan, and he was overjoyed.

"Ahh When Liu Shan heard Wei Yan's explanation, his heart was congested.

Wan Wan didn't arrive first, the other party actually recruited him like this, if Wei Yan was eavesdropping from Shen Mi, Liu Shan would be able to feel better, but he didn't expect that this kid actually overheard it from Gan Ning.

"So, you kid must have followed us all the way, so why are you here now?" Liu Shan asked strangely.
