Chapter IX Negotiations

"Uncle Liu is above, please accept the little nephew's worship. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

When he saw Liu Yan come out in less than a while, Liu Bei immediately ran over to greet him, after all, it is the same ancestor, and Liu Yan is Liu Bei's elder, not to mention that the ancients still favored him in terms of etiquette.

"Hehe, the virtuous nephew doesn't need to be polite, now there is a virtuous nephew to help me, why not be afraid of the yellow turban thieves."

Liu Yan looked at Liu Bei with joy, and immediately bowed down to help Liu Bei and said.

Of course, Liu Yan only said this verbally, but in fact, the matter is far more serious than imagined, but some clichés are still necessary to say.

Because of the Yellow Turban matter, Liu Yan has been in a very bad mood recently, since he was sent here by Emperor Ling to take over Youzhou, he was still very happy, after all, he basically didn't need to take care of it here, and his usual life was also comfortable.

However, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion occurred, civilians everywhere rose up, wearing yellow turbans on their heads, claiming to be the Yellow Turban Army, and crusading against the mediocre tyrants.

No, the area around Youzhou is also unfortunately suffering.

A man named Geng Yong, a few months ago, kept agitating the poor people in the neighborhood who had been oppressed by local officials, but had not been able to vent for a long time, and slowly organized a civil team.

Originally, Liu Yan didn't care about it at first, after all, in a place like this, riots are also very common, and they are all petty fights. Because there are always people whose lives are not satisfactory, they want to change the status quo in some way.

However, to his surprise, as the Yellow Turban Rebels were in full swing in various places, this Yellow Turban Army, which he had not paid attention to, slowly organized most of the rebel armies in Youzhou, and now has a scale of about 30,000 people, and the local strength in Youzhou is only about 3,000, so the situation finally developed to the point that even he could not control it.

Originally, he had already made a note to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court could send troops to solve the urgent situation in Youzhou, but he didn't expect that what he was waiting for was not the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, but also an edict from Emperor Ling.

The content of the edict probably means that there are too many Yellow Turban rebels in various places now, and the imperial court is unable to take care of all the places, so now each Zhou county is allowed to recruit troops according to its own situation, and then compile it after this matter is over.

Why are all localities allowed to recruit troops and horses, because in the past, they were afraid that the princes and mercenaries in various places would be self-respecting, so the imperial court forbade all localities to recruit soldiers and horses privately, and now the situation is urgent, so the imperial court can't take care of it so much.

However, for Liu Yan, it is better than nothing, so some time ago, he released a list to recruit rebels, hoping to resist the upcoming Yellow Turban thieves.

But the number of militia recruits recently is not very ideal, I didn't expect that he was anxious about this matter today, and he happened to hear the palace guard say in the lobby that there was Liu Bei, the son of Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan Jing in the Western Han Dynasty, asking to see him, this is not the point, the point is that Liu Bei brought five hundred people, and the mosquitoes are also meat in the small, so they immediately came out to greet them.

"I heard that Liu Xian's nephew brought five hundred strong soldiers, but there is such a thing."

After coming out, Liu Yan was not at ease, so he asked Liu Bei once.

"Yes, I am fortunate to have the help of nobles, so I organized five hundred brothers, and I just want to make a modest contribution to the court."

Hearing Liu Yan's question, Liu Bei replied with a smile, and then said: "These three are my sworn brothers, this is my eldest brother Ge Liang, my third brother Yunchang, and my fourth brother Yide. ”

"Hehe, welcome brothers to help me, Liu has thanked me here." I saw Liu Yan politely say a polite word.

Maybe Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the side couldn't hear it, but Ge Liang didn't know where they were, these were all clichés, and Liu Yan didn't take them to heart at this time. And even if it is his second brother Liu Bei, Liu Yan is estimated to be polite and polite.

"Hehe, Lord Liu, I heard that you have been disturbed by the Yellow Turban thieves in the neighborhood recently, but this is the case." Ge Liang looked at Liu Yan and said unhurriedly.

"Mr. Ge is right, but there is such a thing."

At this time, Liu Yan also replied without a sentence, just kidding, at this time, the situation near Youzhou, as long as a fool can see what's going on, and he still wants this person in strange costumes to say? At this time, Liu Yan obviously didn't take Ge Liang in his eyes.

"There is a clever plan in the next place, which can solve the urgency of Lord Liu, whether the adults are willing to listen to the next word." Ge Liang looked at Liu Yan with an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Yes, Uncle Liu doesn't know anything, my eldest brother is a strange person, proficient in astronomy and geography, and it is not an exaggeration to be clever."

Liu Bei saw that Ge Liang was so confident, and immediately smiled and explained with a smile, for fear that Liu Yan would not believe it at this time.

"Nima, when did I say that I am proficient in astronomy and geography, this Liu Bei is starting to make sycophants again, but labor and management like it, haha."

As soon as Ge Liang heard that Liu Bei was patting him again, he was amused in his heart, but he didn't have any expression on the outside.

"Oh? If that's the case, then sir, please tell me. ”

Liu Yan, who didn't take Ge Liang in his eyes, heard that the latter actually had a solution, and his nephew Liu Bei also admired him so much, so he had begun to pay a little attention to Ge Liang in his heart.

"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, Lord Liu only needs to promise the next condition, and promise to solve the adult's worries."

Ge Liang didn't say his method immediately, but whetted Liu Yan's appetite and indulged in lust.

Because he knew that if he said his method so simply, it would seem casual, and it would not attract Liu Yan's enough attention at all, so he said half of it and left half of it.

"As long as Mr. can solve the current Yellow Turban Rebellion in Youzhou, don't say one condition, even if it is ten conditions, the official will agree to Mr."

As soon as he heard that Ge Liang really had a solution, how dare he give up, so he hurriedly promised.

Because Liu Yan knew that in fact, even with Liu Bei's 500 troops, for the Yellow Turban Army with a total of almost 30,000, it was just drinking to quench their thirst, and in the end they were still outnumbered, so he was also eager to know Ge Liang's method.

"The requirements below are very simple, that is, the adults only need to let the troops in the city and the troops that can be mobilized at present be deployed for the time being." Ge Liang saw that the time was about to be ripe, so he immediately said his request.

Because for Ge Liang, if he doesn't have a little right, then his plan will have too much resistance, and it will definitely be difficult to succeed in the end, so he will make such a request, and now he only needs to wait for Liu Yan's words.

"This..."

When Ge Liang said his request, Liu Yan frowned slightly, did not answer immediately, and was also thinking about the gains and losses of this matter in his mind.

Because now he only has 3,000 troops, plus Liu Bei's 500, it will be 3,000 and a half, and he is not very clear about Ge Liang's personality, in case the latter fools him, then it will be a trivial matter if the plan does not succeed at that time, and it will also be a disaster for Youzhou.

"Uncle Liu, don't worry, just rest assured that it will be handed over to my eldest brother."

I don't know if it was the relationship between Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang in the previous life, or what, anyway, since Liu Bei saw Ge Liang, he trusted Ge Liang unconditionally from his heart, which also made him very puzzled, just follow his heart to do it.

"Okay, as long as Mr. can solve the crisis in Youzhou, the official will agree to Mr. for the time being, and before the Yellow Turban thieves in Youzhou are resolved, all the resources and manpower in the city will be sent by Mr. for the time being."

After thinking about it for about half a quarter of an hour, plus Liu Bei's persuasion. Liu Yan was in his heart, no matter what, he would be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, anyway, there was nothing worse than the current situation.

"I promise not to disappoint Lord Liu, and I will be fortunate not to disgrace my life."

At this time, Ge Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if this Liu Yan stuck to the rules in the end, then he really had no choice, but fortunately, this old guy had a bit of foresight.

And Ge Liang is also prepared, with the help of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, everything is ready, only Dongfeng is owed, he needs to rely on this zhang to play his momentum in the Three Kingdoms.

Because all of this is just the beginning...
