Liu Yi saw that Huang Quan was willing to tell him about the current situation in Yizhou, so he didn't have to worry, sat down with him, and waited for Huang Quan to solve his doubts.

Huang Quan took a sip of water before he said with a cautious face: "Prince Aguidu, if you could come a while earlier, the situation might be different." You don't know, the current Chengdu is no longer my father-in-law Liu Zhang. It's our Yizhou Metropolitan Governor who has the final say. ”

"The Governor of the Three Armies of Yizhou? This man is ......"

"The origin of this person is quite mysterious, in Yizhou, except for the people who have gained his trust, they know his origin and can see his true face. However, my father-in-law, Liu Zhang, obeyed him, and at first just made him my father-in-law's guest. Later......"

"What? In this way, even General Huang Quan doesn't know the identity of that mysterious person? Isn't that weird? Even your Yizhou ministers don't know? So how was he able to control the military power in Yizhou? Are you just watching the power of Yizhou fall? "Leo really doesn't quite understand.

"Prince, in fact, my lord is the same as you, your tribe lives in your own sphere of influence, free and free, without being controlled by other people, and our Yizhou is the same, our Yizhou, the country of abundance, is a country of its own, in the past ten years, under the governance of Liu Yan and Liu Zhang's father and son, we are rich and healthy, and we don't want to participate in the war in the world at all. However, the New Han Dynasty was aggressive, and it had made it clear that it did not want me to make Yizhou peaceful, and it had already threatened the stability of my Yizhou. At this time, the mysterious man came. ”

Huang Quan really started talking to Liu Yi from the beginning, and said with a somewhat deep expression: "As soon as he came." I was received privately by my father-in-law, and after that. My father-in-law seemed to be a different person, and he began to seem to have a lot of ambitions. seems to be very sure of his Yizhou situation. After that, he asked us and other subjects of Yizhou to fully support him in some of his subsequent actions. ”

"Obviously, that mysterious man should have had some plan to impress Liu Zhang, and gained Liu Zhang's trust, so he began to obey the mysterious man's words." Liu Yi nodded along with Huang Quan's words.

"That's it......" Huang Quan said, "His plan is very favorable." Moreover, it seems to be highly feasible, and it seems that he almost succeeded, and after his travels, I Yizhou, just by paying some money and food, can almost destroy the New Han Dynasty. It's a pity...... Success and failure, and hard work is in vain. Those alien tribes were either wiped out by the New Han Army, or surrendered to the New Han Dynasty. ”

"Uh-huh, these. This prince's territory, although far from the land of war, but. I also occasionally heard of it at the time. This king also wondered, such a big move. Why hasn't anyone contacted my tribe? Is this an army of tribes that look down on me? If my tribe had been contacted at that time, we would have raised an army together, and now, perhaps, my tribe's army has captured the land of Jingzhou. It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity. Otherwise, does this prince still need to come to your Yizhou to talk to you about forming an alliance against the New Han Army? You're right? Liu Yi said unashamedly.

"Uh, hehe...... This one...... Hehe, maybe. Huang Quan was so confused by Liu Yi's wild words that he didn't know how to respond.

"Although these actions were not successful in the end, they also gave us hope in Yizhou. Especially in the battle between our Yizhou army and the Xinhan army, when we were completely at a disadvantage and seemed to be unable to stop the attack of the Xinhan army, most people in Yizhou hoped that there would be a better way to keep our Yizhou from being occupied by the Xinhan army. In this way, the mysterious man who returned to Yizhou proposed a plan to connect with the Southern Barbarians. However, he also pointed out that our Yizhou Army has low combat effectiveness, which is not enough to stop the New Han Army and it is difficult to engage the New Han Army head-on, so he hopes that our Yizhou Army can be reorganized. ”

Huang Quan continued: "In addition, although the Southern Barbarian Tribes and our Yizhou side have always lived in relative peace, these barbarian tribes are all fierce, if they form an alliance with them and let them see that our Yizhou army is not fighting enough, it is difficult to guarantee that they will have any ill thoughts towards our Yizhou in the future. Therefore, it is of course necessary to reorganize our Yizhou army. ”

"Oh? General Huang Quan, do you agree with this? ”

"Naturally, as long as it is beneficial to my Yizhou side, my Huang Quan has never been left behind. Huang also fully supported the mysterious man's plan earlier. In Huang Quan's heart, he is indeed more inclined to Yizhou to be self-reliant, because only in this way can it be more conducive to the interests of his Huang family. In addition, he is indeed more loyal to Liu Zhang, so he thinks about the interests of Yizhou first.

"It's no wonder, even General Huang Quan has approved of that mysterious man's plan, so other Yizhou military ministers, I'm afraid they also have a lot of praise for that mysterious person, and they will definitely attach importance to and approve of his plan."

"That's right, that's exactly the case, and now Huang regrets it." Huang Quan said with a little embarrassment: "It is precisely because everyone agrees with that mysterious man's plan that he quickly took control of the Yizhou Army, and after he took control of the army, he immediately implemented his plan." ”

"The southern barbarians agreed to form an alliance with our Yizhou army, but if they want to send more soldiers and horses, then we Yizhou will have to provide more military food, and our Yizhou side, in order to connect Xiliang and the Wuhuan people in the north, has provided too much money and food, and our own Yizhou army has to use hundreds of thousands of military horses, so our Yizhou is a little short of food and grass. It is inevitable to levy more grain taxes on the people, but if there are too many, it will inevitably cause panic among the people, and when the time comes, the good and stable situation in Yizhou will be broken, but this is not what we Yizhou officials want to see. ”

"I, Huang Quan, although it is also for profit, is not the kind of person who is mad, and I will never ignore the life and death of the people of Yizhou. Therefore, Huang and a group of Yizhou generals and subordinates who also cared about the interests of the people of Yizhou mentioned to the lord that they should not tax the people too heavily. ”

"But unexpectedly. The mysterious man still demanded that a heavy tax be levied on the people of Yizhou, and. We, the Yizhou clan, must also support his plan with gravity. More money and food should be provided. If they refuse to provide it, they will be charged with sabotaging the military operation in Yizhou, and their families will be exterminated. ”

"At first, we didn't think so, we didn't think that the mysterious man really dared to take drastic measures. No, they first took action against the most famous Yu family in our Bashu region, and controlled the entire Yu family at once, and confiscated the Yu family's wealth to replenish military funds. In addition, there are many families related to the Yu family. pleaded with Liu Zhang, but then, those clans were immediately hit and suppressed......"

"Yizhou has been made panicked and unstable. Huang realized that this qiē was related to the mysterious man, and planned to propose to the lord to take back the military power first, and not let the mysterious man act so unscrupulously. But. My father-in-law was actually sick, lying in bed, unable to serve. Huang only met his father-in-law almost a month ago, until now. It's hard to see the lord. However, the alliance with the Southern Barbarians continued. ”

"Yesterday, Huang went to greet the prince to Chengdu. They took advantage of Huang's absence to hold a resolution. Prepare to send troops to carry out a counteroffensive against the attacking New Han army. I want to destroy the attacking New Han Army at one time and recapture the pass that was taken by the New Han Army. Huang Quan said a little helplessly: "Now that the army is mobilized, it is being prepared, and it is estimated that it will set off in the next two days." ”

"I see, that's ......" Liu Yi was relieved when he heard this, because it would take a day or two to prepare for the Yizhou Army and the Southern Barbarian Army, such as ordnance and equipment, military ration deployment, etc., all of which would take a little time. They still have time to sabotage their military operation.

"Liu Zhang is estimated to have been accused by that mysterious person." Liu Yi asserted: "This qiē, I'm afraid it's all the plan of that mysterious person." You Yizhou is in danger. In the future, I'm afraid you'll have to change your master. ”

"This is exactly what Huang is worried about, this mysterious man, the ambition is too big, I think, he not only wants to drive away the New Han Army, in the future, I am afraid that he also wants the Yizhou Army to fight out of Sichuan and compete with the New Han Dynasty for the world, the Yizhou Army hundreds of thousands of military horses, plus the military horses of the Southern Barbarian tribe, in terms of troops, it seems that there is indeed the possibility of calling the New Han Army. However, if the lord of Yizhou is not Liu Zhang, then the military and civilians of Yizhou will be in a dire situation, which is not what Huang wants to see. Huang Quan said worriedly: "Prince Guidu, this is also one of the reasons why Huang personally went to greet you." Now, Huang has put his heart into you, let's just make it clear. ”

"Well, thank you General Huang Quan for your trust, everyone said so, then, we should be closer and closer, between us, there is nothing to say." Liu Yi patted his chest and said.

"I inquired about your Li Yao clan from the mouths of the Southern Barbarians. Knowing that the number of your tribes is not too large, you don't need to tell Huang that there are hundreds of thousands of tribal troops. However, Huang deeply admires your tribe, because your tribe has few people, so the Southern Barbarians can't help you, and they have the upper hand in many battles with them. Therefore, Huang is very optimistic about you. Hearing that you actually came to visit my father-in-law, Huang thought of a plan. Huang Quan looked at Liu Yidao sincerely.

"Oh? Do you have a plan in mind? How about trying to take advantage of my clan? However, how can you be sure that our Li Yao clan will definitely cooperate with your plan? Liu Yi said curiously.

"You'll definitely cooperate with me." Huang Quan affirmed: "Because, it is also about your Li Yao tribe." ”

Huang Quan said: "Our Yizhou side has formed an alliance with the Nanban tribe, and there is a treaty in it, after the Nanban army helps our Yizhou army to repel the invading Xinhan army and helps my Yizhou side to hold Yizhou steadily, the Yizhou army will send troops to help them destroy your Li Yao tribe and open the way for the Nanban to attack the Central Plains." It is estimated that when the time comes, the Yizhou Army and the Southern Barbarian Army will work together to attack the Jingzhou area in multiple ways. Therefore, when you and I cooperate, we are helping yourselves. ”

"How dare they?" Liu Yi slapped the table and said angrily: "Our clan didn't attack their Nanban, they actually plotted against my tribe?" Annoying! ”

"By the way, so what are your plans? Tell me about it? After Liu Yifa finished nagging, he seemed to be very interested in asking.

"Now that you are in Chengdu, first make a fuss like today, be sure to ask to see my lord, after seeing my lord, you will protect my lord, I Huang also has a Yizhou army that obeys my command, about 20,000 people, in addition, there are a few generals who are good friends with Huang, there will be a total of about 50,000 military horses. When the time comes, we will pretend to launch a mutiny and rescue the lord. Then, let my lord remove the mysterious man from the position of the governor of the city, so that he can control the power of the three armies of Yizhou. In this way, the power will be restored to the hands of my lord. After my lord regains power, he will form an alliance with your Li Yao clan. Huang Quan told his plan.

Liu Yi was overjoyed after hearing this, knowing that the situation in Yizhou had reached a point where water and fire were not compatible, and Huang Quan, Liu Zhang's important ministers, should also know that the mysterious person was uneasy and kind, and suspected that Liu Zhang was accused of house arrest. Therefore, in a drastic way, even if it is a mutiny, Liu Zhang must be rescued from the hands of that mysterious person.

This is very good, such a trouble, no matter what the result is, Yizhou will definitely be in chaos. It is even possible that the alliance between the Southern Barbarians and the Yizhou side will collapse. In this way, it would be impossible for them to launch an attack on Zhang Fei's new Han army.

However, it is now clear that the Yizhou Army and the Southern Barbarian Army have reached an alliance agreement and are about to send troops. At this moment, Liu Yi knew that it was impossible to see Liu Zhang. Therefore, Liu Yi now feels that the most important thing is not to rescue Liu Zhang for Huang Quan and help Liu Zhang return to power, but to find a way to prevent them from sending troops first.

"General Huang Quan, this, we cooperate, and it is not impossible to rescue Liu Zhang for you, but now the Yizhou Army and the Southern Barbarian Army are preparing to send troops. At this critical moment, do you want me to ask to see Liu Zhang, is it possible? You also saw it today, I was going to break in, but I didn't get to see your father-in-law. Liu Yi said with a look of embarrassment: "If there is any way to stop them from sending troops this time, so that my Li Yao clan can have the opportunity to sit down with them and renegotiate the alliance, I will agree to help you, otherwise, you are now in a battle with the Yizhou army and the Southern Barbarian army, no matter what I do, I can't change what is unfavorable to my Li Yao clan in the future." So, you understand? ”

"Stop them from sending troops? This one...... It's not impossible to ......"

"Huh? Is there really a way? Lewy was happy again.

"There is a way, as long as the Southern Barbarians can't send troops immediately because of something, then the Yizhou Army will definitely not send troops alone." Huang Quan whispered as if mysteriously: "Let's go and capture a hostage, and then we can make the Southern Barbarian Army suspend all operations." (To be continued......)
