Wei Yan helped Li Yan up, and said with a loud smile: "I have been longing for the talent of the right side for a long time, just like a fish in water, I am willing to entrust all political affairs to the right side, I don't know if the right side is willing to bear it?" ”

Li Yan had a straight face: "Dare to ask the will of the lord?" ”

Wei Yan didn't say a word, walked to the table, held a pen in his hand, and wrote on the still yellowed Cai Hou paper: "Daye Dragon Fang sting, Central Plains deer is fat!" ”

In fact, after falling asleep last night, Wei Yan had already inadvertently revealed his ambitions. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wei Yan knows very well that ambitious people like Li Yan from the Han clan and from the Han family, if they don't overthrow the Liu Han court and establish a new dynasty, it will be difficult for them to break through the rule of the big family and become a minister, at best, they are county officials and county commanders, and only by following the ambitious new lord can they realize their dream of soaring, so Li Yan and even then Jia Xu, Xu Shu and other people from humble backgrounds support Wei Yan's ambitions, but those from big families prefer to maintain the current state. was unwilling to support Wei Yan, who was born in the Hanmen Shu clan, to ascend to the throne.

Li Yan was silent, turned around and threw the piece of Caihou paper into the furnace and burned it.

Then, he looked at Wei Yan solemnly: "The lord's ambition is commendable, but in the next ten or twenty years, please don't tell others easily, don't be like Yuan Shu who has not yet become an emperor, the world knows that he wants to be an emperor, so that all the princes are disgusted with him." ”

Wei Yan nodded and said seriously, "I understand." From then on, I just kept it in my heart. By the way, Zhengfang, what are you doing to Yiyang County this time, does it matter if you delay it for a day? ”

Li Yan said: "The last general came from the county this time, not for business, but for the lack of Yiyang County Order, the last general originally wanted to make friends with all the families in Yiyang County, let them jointly recommend me as the Yiyang County Order, but when it was feasible to Weijiawu Fort, I already knew that Liu Biao had handed over the position of Yiyang County Commander to a clan brother in Kuaiyue, and the last general was hopeless. The last general watched the lord train the army in a good way, only the lack of capable people to take care of the government, full of mistakes and omissions, unbearable, and wanted to tell each other, but I didn't expect the lord to know that there was me Li Zhengfang in the world...... When the last general returned to the county, he resigned from his official position and came to serve the lord's drive. ”

"That's very good." Wei Yan smiled and asked, "Now that everything is in turmoil, what is the most important thing to look at?" ”

Li Yan thought for a while, and said solemnly: "The last general Guan Zhugong acts, and has taken Yiyang as the foundation, and slowly plots in all directions, in this case, why doesn't the lord seek the position of Yiyang County Order, if the Lord Gong does the Yiyang County Order, he can justifiably run Yiyang and collect the people of Yiyang as soldiers...... Then refine the team, and wait for Nanyang to change......"

Wei Yan smiled bitterly: "But now Liu Biao has handed over the post of county order to Kuaiyue's clan brother......

Li Yan said with a smile: "Kuai Yue's brother, although he has literary talents, he has no courage, he can send people to spread Yiyang thieves near Xiangyang Kuai's house, burning, killing and looting, and the lord also sent people to pretend to be thieves and rob some lonely officials and businessmen, so that Kuai Yue's brother must not have the courage to come to take office." ”

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wei Yan stroked his palms in admiration, and suddenly felt that Li Yan's 74-point intelligence was set a little low, and he asked again: "How should I seek the position of Yiyang County Commander?" ”

Li Yan smiled and asked, "Are the heads of Liu Bi, Gong Du, and Li Tong still there?" ”

Wei Yan thought for a moment and nodded: "It's all pickled with lime, and Zhengfang is asking what is this for?" ”

Basically, the heads of all famous enemy generals are not fed to the dogs right away, they are first salted with lime and wait for future waste use.

Li Yan said with a smile: "As far as the last general knows, Liu Bi and Gong have robbed the Cai family caravan, Cai Mao hates Liu Bi and Gong Du to the core, Li Tong is a Jiangxia person, a ranger in the past, offended Huang Zu, and then fled to Runan Langling, if the lord sends someone to hand over the heads of Liu Pi and Gong Du to Cai Mao, and then send someone to hand over Li Tong's heads to Huang Zu, and at the same time offer gold and silver treasures, so that the position of Yiyang County Commander is at your fingertips!" ”

Wei Yan thought for a moment and shook his head: "A small county magistrate position, but it has to bother the two generals to speak together, Liu Biao must be suspicious!" ”

Li Yan was taken aback: "The lord is thoughtful, the last general admires, it is true, Liu Biao is a treacherous and cunning person, if he asks Cai Mao and Huang Zu to lobby together at the same time, it will indeed make him suspicious, but it will cause twists and turns." Then, we will only hand over the heads of Liu Pi and Gong Du to Cai Mao! ”

Wei Yan stood up and walked to the front of the map, a sketchy map he had drawn these days with his impressions of the 21st century, although it was sketchy, it was still much better than the maps of this era, which had no scale and no topographic markings.

He focused his eyes on the surroundings of Yiyang County, looked at it for a while, and suddenly laughed: "Li Tong's head can't be wasted!" ”

Li Yan hurriedly asked, "Why did the lord say this?" ”

Wei Yan pointed to Pingchun County next to Yiyang County, and said with a smile: "Pingchun County belongs to Jiangxia County, but it is far away from Jiangxia Zhi'anlu, thieves are everywhere, Huang Zu is trying his best to resist Sun Ce's attack, and he is not able to govern Pingchun County at all, Pingchun County is like chicken wings to Huang Zu, and it is a pity to abandon it if it is tasteless, if you use Li Tong's head and some gold and silver treasures to seek the position of Pingchun County, is it also feasible?" ”

Speaking of this, Wei Yan stared at Li Yan: "Zhengfang, let's try it with all our might, you will strive to be the county commander of Yiyang County, and I will strive to be the county commander of Pingchun County." ”

Li Yan was overjoyed when he heard this: "In this way, with the addition of Langling, we can control the three counties, the combined population of these three counties is nearly 400,000, and at least 20,000 elite soldiers can be trained at that time. ”

Unconsciously, Li Yan had completely regarded himself as a general under Wei Yan and thought about the problem from Wei Yan's point of view.

Then Wei Yan smiled bitterly: "If you can get both counties, then you will govern Yiyang County, and I will govern Pingchun County, but I am busy with everything and have no time to govern, what should I do?" ”

Li Yan lowered his head and thought about it, and after a while, he raised his head and said solemnly to Wei Yan: "My lord, the last general will recommend one person, this person's ability to govern is not under the last general, and he will definitely be qualified for the post of Pingchun County Cheng!" ”

Wei Yan hurriedly smiled and said, "Who?" What is the last name? ”

Li Yan said with a smile: "This person's surname is Deng Mingzhi, the word Bo Miao, the new savage, after Deng Yu, the family background was later down, his grandfather and his father were all county officials, although he was high, but he was born in the Han family, and his temperament was strong and simple, and he would not modify his emotions, so there were no scholars to make friends with him, so now he can only condescend to Xinye County officials." ”

"Deng Zhi?" Wei Yan smiled: "I know that this person is really talented. ”

Li Yan suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "A few days ago, Zhang Xiu's Xiliang soldiers ravaged Nanyang County and plundered Xinye, Deng Bomiao was uneasy, and he once made it clear to the last general that he wanted to settle in Shudi, I don't know if he has set off this time?" ”

Wei Yan remembered that Deng Zhi was not only good at governing politics, but also good at diplomacy, Sun Quan had a very high opinion of him, and he was also good at managing the army, and he was very good at commanding, political, and charismatic values, not to mention anything else, his political power in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms was as high as 86, and such a talent could not let him waste time with Liu Zhang.
