No. 126 The whimsical Liu Shan
"Hehehe, General Shen, I'm afraid you're thinking too much, you have a good reputation, but you won't be included in the cultivation. You can also see that this booklet is only for the surname Liu, and the person who can prove that he is surnamed Liu happens to be surnamed Liu, which is something I should consider. At least so far, my son-in-law has never done anything to break his promise.
You may not know that during the last war, my son-in-law promised to release Yang Ren back, and after the war, he really released Yang Ren and other captured generals in Zhang Lu's army, as well as nearly half of the soldiers. You can send someone to find out what it really looks like. Liu Shan had expected Shen Mi's expression, and he replied with a sneer.
"Ahh However, the general was negligent, can the envoy stay here for a few days, and consider it on his behalf, and then give the envoy an answer, how about it? "Liu Shan's words, Shen Mi naturally won't believe them all, but the conditions given by the other party are already very generous, so he needs a few days to use the intelligence network in his hand to verify Liu Shan's words.
The essence of the ten counties of Yizhou lies in the north of Yizhou, Ba, Shu, Guanghan and Hanzhong, as for the four counties in the south and Wudu County, among these five counties, the number of foreign races is more than that of the Han people, therefore, the key to Jin Jue's promise belongs to Zhongdang County in Yizhou. And Shen Mi also knew that his ability was insufficient, not to mention taking others, just to say that among the three rebel generals who fled to Jingzhou, he and Lou Fa were far worse than Gan Ning.
It is no wonder that the first person this envoy went to find was Gan Ning, not him or Lou Fa.
Even if the other party can't take Yizhou, just a lieutenant in the western part of Hanzhong County has already satisfied him.
"Oh! I don't know if General Shen needs to let him wait for a few days, and he still needs to ask General Lou Fa's opinion, perhaps, he will not consider it after listening to the conditions offered by my son-in-law. Liu Shan asked.
"No, General Ben has always been here. Brother Shen's opinion is my opinion! As soon as Liu Shan's words fell, Lou Fa walked out of the back office.
It turned out that between the three rebel generals, Gan Ning's strength was too strong, and Shen Mi and Lou Fa were worried that Gan Ning would take the opportunity to annex their subordinates, so the two of them had always been clearly united, in order to deal with Gan Ning.
Of course, if Gan Ning really had this idea, let alone the two of them, even ten Shen Mi and Lou Fa would not be Gan Ning's opponents.
"Five days!" Shen Mi said with a smile.
"Good! I am waiting for the final decision of the two generals below. As soon as Liu Shan saw this posture, he understood, Lou Fa appeared at this time, although Liu Shan's radical method failed directly, but it also saved him from persuading Lou Fa again.
……
However, without waiting for three days, Shen Mi and Lou Fa came to Liu Shan, and without mentioning any conditions, they agreed to it.
"Two generals, isn't there still two days left before the deadline, you don't need to think about it anymore, you are so anxious, look down, is there something big going on?" Liu Shan is not stupid, these two suddenly changed their attitude, in the past few days, something big must have happened in Jingzhou that they don't know yet.
"Don't hide it from the envoy, Cao Cao recruited Zhang Xiu, for some reason, Zhang Xiu suddenly reversed, not only defeated Cao Cao's army, but also killed his general Dian Wei." Lou Fa did not shy away from it, and told them everything they knew.
Obviously, Cao Cao failed to recruit Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu will inevitably continue to take refuge in Liu Biao, so the status of the three rebel generals in Yizhou will be embarrassing. Once Zhang Xiu sent an envoy to surrender to Liu Biao again, the three of them would probably have to return to the miserable situation they had when they first arrived in Jingzhou.
"Oh!" When Liu Shan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he was not particularly worried about what would happen to Gan Ning and them because of this matter, but from this news, he heard a great opportunity.
At the beginning, when Sima Yi arrived in Luoyang County, Liu Shan was present, and Jin Jue personally praised several characters, among those people, in addition to Sima Yi, only Jia Xu had not yet taken refuge in Cao Cao. Now that Cao Caojun and Zhang Xiujun's talks have collapsed, does he have the opportunity to persuade Zhang Xiu or Jia Xu to surrender, as long as one of them can take refuge in Gongzi, he will have made a great contribution.
Of course, Gongzi's reputation is not obvious now, Zhang Xiu has just defeated Cao Cao, and his momentum is booming, presumably bigger than that of Gan Ning's spectrum, and he may not put Gongzi in his eyes, but since Gongzi said that Jia Xu is a rare smart person in the world, then he has the possibility of convincing Jia Xu.
Thinking of this, Liu Shan immediately replied: "Okay, two generals, my son-in-law said, you can find an opportunity to attack Shangyong first and take it quietly." Wait until next year, Childe will send a reinforcement army to help you. The specific plan, when the time comes, the leader will tell you. If you still have something to do, let's take your leave first! ”
After telling him, Liu Shan was about to turn around and leave.
"Wait, messenger, why are you leaving in such a hurry, what if our brother can't take the mediocrity? When the time comes, I don't have to ask you to contact your son-in-law for us to give us advice. Shen Mi noticed that Liu Shan's expression was different, so he stopped Liu Shan.
Shen Mi's words are also reasonable, he and Lou Fa can be regarded as having soldiers and food now, but none of them know the current situation in Shangyong County, if the army is defeated, it will not only make the two of them have no way to retreat, but also greatly affect Jin Jue's strategic plan.
"Sorry, this is ill-conceived." said this, but Liu Shan despised the second general in his heart, a small Shangyong County, and it was still a sneak attack, and he dared to say that he was not sure to take it.
Gongzi borrowed troops to tell Song Jian that if he wanted to break through Caohan and get his head, it was the best, and it was not achieved lightly and skillfully, and he also gave Ma Teng and Ma Dai a hand by the way. These two generals are really a waste.
Thinking of this, Liu Shan did not hide his intentions, and said bluntly: "Two generals, I want to try my luck in Zhang Xiu's army." If I am lucky enough to persuade Zhang Xiu to join my son-in-law, then our success rate in taking Hanzhong County and Yizhou will become even greater, won't it? Of course, I also understand that the possibility of persuading Zhang Xiu is actually very low. The main thing I want to do is to meet Mr. Jia Xu first. My son-in-law admires him very much! ”
"Messenger, let's not talk about whether you can succeed in this trip, have you thought about it, what if Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu both agree? When the time comes, will your son-in-law still remember the reward he promised to our brother? When Shen Mi heard this, he immediately asked with a stinky face.
