Yuan Yun looked at the three people in the lobby, and was a little surprised in his heart, because he didn't expect Liu Zhang to be so cowardly, he was only defeated once in Hanzhong, so he sent a messenger to sue for peace with sincere fear, and planned to completely break off the alliance with Liu Bei.

"Although Liu Zhang's actions are beneficial to us, but his choice is very problematic, he sent people to Luoyang, instead of sending them to the court of the Son of Heaven in Xudu, which will involve a lot, and the lord still needs to deal with it carefully." Zhuge Liang held the goose feather fan and whispered, and continued to maintain a harmonious smile.

Yuan Yun heard Zhuge Liang say this, and his heart also moved, this is indeed a big problem, Liu Zhang sent a messenger to Luoyang to send a letter of surrender, which is a little strange from anywhere, but since these people have come to Luoyang and found him Yuan Yun, they always need to see him.

"I've seen Yuan Hou, Liu Ba in Xia Nai Yizhou, and this time I came to visit Yuan Hou on the order of my monarch." After Liu Ba introduced himself, he introduced the two entourages around him.

Yuan Yun immediately laughed in his heart after hearing the word Liu Ba, this person is very bad with Liu Bei, Liu Bei recruited this person several times in history, but was rejected by this person, and finally in desperation, he was adopted by Liu Bei in Yizhou, and according to the records, this person is indeed a great talent.

Since he didn't deal with Liu Bei, Yuan Yun naturally became much more kind to him, there are really not many people like this, I don't know how many people in this world have been deceived by Liu Bei, and those who can see his essence clearly are really rare, and I don't know if Liu Ba in front of him understands Liu Bei's hypocrisy, so he has repeatedly avoided Liu Bei's solicitation.

Yuan Yun returned the salute slightly, and then sat down, Zhuge Liang sat down on the right side, after everyone sat down, Yuan Yun hugged his fists again, and said: "It turned out that Mr. Zichu arrived, but Ben Hou was far away." ”

Liu Ba was stunned when he heard this, he didn't want Yuan Yun to know him, but now he looked very face-saving in front of the two entourages, so he hurriedly gave up a few words of modesty, and his two entourages really showed a look of envy, which can make Yuan Yun, a strange person in the world, remember his name, which is a very glorious thing in itself.

After the maid brought the tea, Yuan Yun asked bluntly: "Mr. Zichu sent someone to send the letter of Yizhou Mu, but did you choose the wrong place, you should send this thing to Xudu, not Luoyang, let alone Benhou's mansion." ”

Liu Ba smiled bitterly and said: "We sent messengers to Xudu before, but we sent three batches, but all three groups of people were intercepted and killed halfway, it seems that many people in Xudu are unwilling to accept our peace talks." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he asked: "Now that less than half a year has passed since the first battle in Hanzhong, you actually sent three groups of people out, and they were intercepted and killed halfway, which sounds a little unbelievable." ”

Liu Ba sighed and said: "After seeing the combat power of the gunpowder army in Hanzhong, I believe that no one will be willing to be your enemy again, my monarch thinks the same, and now there are almost no people in Yizhou who dare to speak out about war, and in the battle of Hanzhong City, Yuan Hou has knocked out the backbone of the Yizhou army, and we really have no other thoughts except surrender." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Ba paused slightly, smiled bitterly again, and said: "Yuan Hou don't have to doubt, I, Liu Ba, am also an arrogant person, and I will never say anything flattering, the reason why I said it so directly is indeed because I don't want to be an enemy of Luoyang, if someone is really arrogant like this, I am afraid that the people of Yizhou will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and now from my monarch to the soldiers below, they are not willing to start a war again, and choose to surrender, I think this is a good thing, so I plan to come to promote this in person." ”

Yuan Yun naturally knew that Liu Ba's arrogance could be recruited by Liu Bei several times, and he chose to refuse, he would definitely not be able to do it without a little courage, you must know that when Liu Bei recruited Liu Ba, he was already a powerful figure.

Yuan Yun nodded slightly, and said, "In this way, Yizhou's descending letter was just sent to Luoyang to be handed over on his behalf, yes or no?" ”

Liu Ba smiled and said: "Since we have said it openly today, even if we tell Yuan Hou the truth, it is not impossible, such as the general trend is already very clear today, and the person who holds the gunpowder army is naturally Cao Ang Shizi, so that the future can also be expected, as for what kind of future, I will not go into detail here, we will first visit Yuan Hou this time, just hope that Yuan Hou can be introduced, so that Liu Ba can meet Cao Ang Shizi." ”

Yuan Yun smiled when he heard this, but he was still a little confused in his heart, it stands to reason that these so-called celebrities should not be a hard bone that cannot be chewed? What is the revival of the Han family, absolutely finally the Han family or something, but listening to Liu Ba say this, it seems that he is very in favor of Cao Ang as the master of the world in the future, this feeling is really amazing.

After a short time, after a few more greetings, Yuan Yun agreed to Liu Ba's request and personally sent the other party out, and the meeting with Cao Ang Shizi was also scheduled for three days later.

When he turned back to the lobby, he saw Zhuge Liang still sitting there with a smile, and the feather fan in his hand was shaking unhurriedly, and the whole thing looked like an old god.

Yuan Yun sat down again before asking, "Kong Ming has something to say?" ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "When the two of you saw that Liu Ba talking just now, the lord had a strange look, was his heart full of doubts?" ”

Yuan Yun smiled and said, "I always thought that many people wanted to revive the Han family, but after meeting Liu Ba, this idea was a little shaken. ”

Zhuge Liang still smiled and said, "I'm afraid the lord also thought of Liang and Pang Shiyuan, right?" In fact, the lord doesn't need to be so confused, in Liang's regard, his allegiance is just the peace of the world. ”

After a slight pause, Zhuge Liang put the feather fan aside, and then continued: "It's not that we are disloyal to the Han family, but this change of dynasty is not without precedent, and the origin of the Han family is just to replace Qin, and even if Liang had some ideas before, after seeing the lord, he began to gradually change."

When chatting with Xiaoliu two years ago, I heard the lord say that if all these ministers and famous generals in the world are gathered in Luoyang, then the world will be completely peaceful. ”

Yuan Yun listened in a daze, unable to interject at all, until Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he nodded and agreed: "Kong Ming can think like this, it really untied a lot of knots in my heart, and I have always been worried that you will have a grudge against the succession of Cao Ang's prince in the future, now that you have understood, I will rest assured." ”

Zhuge Liang still looked smiling, and said: "Liang and Shiyuan can naturally understand the intentions of the lord, but it doesn't mean that others will understand, I'm afraid there are still a lot of people who oppose this, so there are still us tired behind." ”

Yuan Yun shrugged indifferently, and then said cheerfully: "As long as our own people don't object, then there is no problem, as for others, if they oppose it, we will bombard them with cannons, and the shells will naturally shut them up." ”

After Yuan Fu and Zhuge Liang finished talking about this, Yuan Yun ordered the frame, and then the two of them went to the farm outside the city, and now there is a large area of farmland, and those Han slaves sent from the north have developed a very large piece of cultivated land here, plus the help of canals, waterwheels and some advanced agricultural tools, the yield of this cultivated land can be expected.

Looking at the vast piece of oil and green, Yuan Yun smiled from ear to ear by the car window, before Luoyang always needed to import grain to maintain, but now with this pasture, self-sufficiency has finally become possible in the future, and because of this, Luoyang will no longer be affected by any outside world and become a truly independent existence.

"From the information sent by Xu Du, Cao Pi has now become the spokesman of the Son of Heaven, I heard that this phenomenon is deliberately done by those old officials in the court, and the nobles of Xu Du are also very supportive of Cao Pi, so it will be very unfavorable for us after all." After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he also raised his eyes and looked into the distance.

Yuan Yun smiled and said: "Now that Cao Sikong has built the capital in Yecheng, the matter of preparing to give him the title of king has also been accepted by the imperial court, it seems that my old father-in-law has no fighting spirit, so I don't take care of the affairs of the Xu Du court." ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "The lord's words are wrong, Cao Sikong was crowned king in Yecheng, it does not mean that his ambition is dead, on the contrary, now that he is crowned king, he can open his own court in Yecheng, and the value of the Son of Heaven in Xu Du to Cao Sikong is probably gone, this is the point." ”

Yuan Yun heard Zhuge Liang say this, so he smiled mysteriously and said: "Since Kong Ming thinks that Cao Sikong is no longer under the supervision of the imperial court in Yecheng, why can't we in Luoyang follow suit, so even if Cao Pi tosses to the sky in Xudu, he can't set off any storms in the end."

Now Xiliang, Chang'an, Hongnong, Hanzhong, and Luoyang are all under our control, and our food is not in need of a lot of support from the north, which means that we are the overlords of one side, and Cao Ang Shizi must have clearly understood this, so he will let Cao Pi toss in Xudu. ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned, and then laughed in an instant, and said: "The gun is out of power, this sentence really gets to the point, as long as the gunpowder army is still in Luoyang, Cao Ang Shizi will indeed not be defeated by anyone, even if Cao Pi makes a lot of trouble, in the end he can only bow his head and call himself a minister." ”

When the two were talking, the frame had stopped at the edge of a farmland, and when Yuan Yun got out of the car, Deng Ai was already standing on the side of the road, and behind him stood more than a dozen men, all dressed in civilian clothes, holding various measuring tools in their hands.

Deng Ai looked very happy when he saw Yuan Yun, and immediately began to introduce the results of his measurements in the past few days, and then roughly estimated the yield after an autumn harvest, Zhuge Liang would definitely think that the other party was exaggerating if he heard such a return in the past, but at this moment he just smiled and nodded and listened, without any hint of fraud at all.

After Deng Ai finished reporting, Yuan Yun frowned and asked, "What about that little guy Cao Chong, he said that he wanted to measure with you, but he didn't see anyone, could it be that he went to play again, and then left everything to you?" ”

Deng Ai hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Xiao Chong has a big thing to do, so he threw all these measured errands to me, I think his affairs are more important, so I let him do it." ”

Yuan Yun frowned again, thinking that Deng Ai was good at everything, but he was too sincere, which was obviously deceived by Cao Chong again, but he was good, and he was still helping Cao Chong count the money, and he was unlucky.

Just when Yuan Yun was about to call someone to arrest Cao Chong and teach him a good lesson, he only heard a very familiar sound in his ears, it was the roar of the gas engine on the tank, and when he raised his eyes, he was stunned.

I saw Cao Chong sitting on a huge machine, wrapped in a thick smoke and driving slowly, and under this machine there are many shovels, every place passes, there will be a large area of turned land behind him, and what is even more wonderful is that the two sides of the machine are also equipped with something similar to a sickle, and the weeds on both sides will soon be harvested after being inhaled.

After seeing this, Yuan Yun finally discovered that Luoyang was really no longer in his control, but was growing up crazy at a very surprising speed.
