Chapter 232: Lady Jade Comes to Negotiate for Yizhou
"Is the short-lived death of the man of our Yu family caused by the poison of Dansha, how can this be proved in a short period of time? What's more, this issue is related to the future development of our Yu family, and it is not convenient to directly and openly study it. This, for the time being, is only as you said, let the men of our Yu family pay attention and reduce the operation in the Dansha mine as much as possible. Now, the family has already passed the Guò Gu people to mine dansha in the future, so that the people of our Yu family can not do it themselves. Madame Jade shook her head and said.
"Oh? Is that so? That's fine, but even Gu people should pay attention, let those who mine Dansha not stay in the Dansha mine all year round, and pay special attention to changing a group of people every once in a while, otherwise, the men of your Yu family will be fine, but those miners will suffer. Liu Yi reminded: "Dansha is indeed poisonous, and this point, in a few years, you will be clear." ”
"Got it......" Mrs. Yu said to Liu Yi angrily: "Do you think that our Jade family can start by relying on black hearts to continue the glory of hundreds of years?" To be honest, our Yu family will not do less than you, the food officer, who donates money and food to the people and helps the people. We know more that if our Yu family wants to continue to be brilliant, we must have the people able to live a peaceful and prosperous life, and we can earn more wealth. After all, some products such as female red will only really sell well when they are peaceful and prosperous. ”
This Liu Yi can understand, rouge gouache these. For ordinary people, it is a luxury. Only in the real peaceful and prosperous times, more people like to buy and decorate themselves. If it's a troubled time when you don't have enough to eat. Who cares about how they look?
"Then you said that you came from Bashu to see me, what is it for?" Liu Yi couldn't guess what Mrs. Yu was looking for for him for a while.
"Alas......" Mrs. Yu sighed faintly and said, "Taifu, I can't hide it, I came to see you this time, and the slave family was entrusted by someone to come to be a lobbyist." ”
"Oh? Entrusted by someone? Lobbyists? What can you talk to me? "Lewi didn't know.
"Liu Zhang!" Mrs. Yu said, "This time I want to see Taifu." In fact, it was Liu Zhang's Yizhou pastor who sent the slave family to see you. ”
"Oh? What is the relationship between your Yu family and Liu Zhang? Why would he send you to me? Liu Yi couldn't help but ask curiously.
When Mrs. Yu heard Liu Yi ask, she looked at Liu Yi curiously, as if she was looking at Liu Yi with a fool-like look.
"Uh...... All right. Don't look at me like that, I'm wrong. After Liu Yi asked, Fang felt that he was an idiot.
Because, it doesn't matter which place. How can those in power not have a relationship with the wealthy families of those places? Even if it doesn't matter. They're all going to get involved. Well, it's a relationship of interest.
How can officials, merchants, officials, and businessmen, those families that are mainly businessmen, not have the support of their local authorities? Especially for a well-known family like the Yu family, it is estimated that when Liu Yan entered Yizhou, he had already established a relationship with the Yu family.
Those who are officials need the support of local wealthy families, and those who are in business. It also needs the power of the local authorities to protect their existing interests, and even to integrate guò with the official family. To put it mildly, it is collusion between officials and businessmen.
Liu Yi secretly blamed himself for being a little hindsight, he should have thought a long time ago, how could the Yu family in Bashu have nothing to do with Liu Zhang, the ruler in the Bashu region? Without official protection, no matter how famous their Yu family is, it will be difficult for them to develop, not to mention the fact that their Yu family's shops have opened all over the Han Dynasty.
Liu Yi scratched his head and said to Mrs. Yu a little embarrassed: "Okay, even if I haven't said the above words." Then Liu Zhang asked you to come to see me Liu Yi, what does he have to say? ”
"Liu Zhang wants to form an alliance with you and sign a non-aggression pact, just like the treaty you signed with Cao Cao, but there is no time limit, but permanent."
"Oh? Does Liu Zhang really have such an idea? Liu Yi said a little ridiculously: "He wants to divide one side in Yizhou and become a country of his own, and he wants to settle in a corner, hehe, Mrs. Yu, you say, is this possible?" ”
"It's probably not possible, isn't it just talking? Liu Zhang's meaning was that he could submit to the New Han Dynasty, but he still had the power to govern Yizhou if he asked the New Han Army not to enter Sichuan. He treated the Taifu with courtesy, and every year, he would also pay tribute to the New Han Dynasty. ”
"This is equivalent to the king of Fan, to put it bluntly, Liu Zhang is nominally subordinate to the New Han Dynasty, and nominally he is a minister of the New Han Dynasty, but in fact, he Liu Zhang can be the king and hegemon in Yizhou, and no one can control him." Liu Yi shook his head and said: "This, it is the same reason that our Han Dynasty governed the foreign peoples in the early days. So, it's impossible. ”
Liu Yi didn't have to think about it, and immediately vetoed his condition that the New Han Army would not enter Sichuan. What is the use of Liu Yi asking Liu Zhang to nominally submit to his new Han Dynasty? What Liu Yi needs is the true unification of the entire Han Dynasty, and in the future, no one will be allowed to divide one side of the party. Let Liu Zhang take care of himself in Yizhou? Isn't this tantamount to recognizing his status as a prince?
"Can't we really talk about this?" Madam Yu seemed to be a little pleading to Liu Yidao.
"It's okay to talk about it." Liu Yi nodded affirmatively and said: "I, Liu Yi, am determined to unify the Han Dynasty, and Liu Zhang's Yizhou is naturally also the place where my New Han Dynasty wants to recover the unification." This Liu Zhang is a little prescient, I, Liu Yi, have just captured Jingzhou, and he will send someone to talk to me about the non-aggression pact, because now, only by talking to me Liu Yi, it is possible to avoid the entry of our Xinhan army into Yizhou in the future. However, he is not sincere, I, Liu Yi, recovered Yizhou, is it just for that little tribute? ”
"Oh? Then you say, 'What is going to be done about this?' In other words, what kind of conditions do you need to agree to form an alliance with Liu Zhang, non-aggression against each other, and the New Han army will never enter Xichuan? Mrs. Yu heard Liu Yi say that she could talk, and her beautiful eyes lit up.
Mrs. Jade's jade family can be described as a big tree, and her home is in Bashu, and Liu Yan arrived in Yizhou in the past. tied her jade family to their interest group. If Liu Yan's son Liu Zhang is still in control of Yizhou now, then the interests of Mrs. Yu's Yu family can be guaranteed. If there is another person in charge of Yizhou, then I am afraid it will be difficult to say.
This point is similar to the relationship between the Cai family, the Zhang family, the Kuai family and Liu Yi in Jingzhou.
Now that Jingzhou has changed masters, the Cai family and the Zhang family can only choose to leave Xiangyang and seek development elsewhere. The Kuai family will be the same, if their Kuai family was not coerced away by Cai Mao. They themselves will choose to leave and go to a place where they can ensure the interests of their family.
"Hehe, we can talk. Not this one. Now that Liu Zhang has seen this step, then I, Liu Yi, can also talk to Mrs. Yu about it. "Liu Yi will not give concessions in these major matters because of Mrs. Yu's beauty.
Liu Yi said resolutely: "Our new Han Dynasty aims to unify the Han Dynasty. So. It is that no one of the princes of any power will be allowed to remain independent and be beyond the Han Dynasty. First of all, it should be explained that Yizhou is also a part of the Han Dynasty, and it will never be and will not be separated. Liu Zhang wants to nest in Yizhou to become a country of his own, which is impossible. The ultimate goal of the New Han Army to unify the Han Dynasty is to make all the Han regions. They all obeyed the orders of the New Han Dynasty, and only the power was in the hands of the New Han Dynasty. This side may be said to be dominant. If he Liu Zhang wants to talk to me Liu Yi, he can only talk about surrender. ”
"If Liu Zhang surrenders to the New Han Dynasty, I, Liu Yi, can ensure that he will have no worries for the rest of his life, and even ensure certain interests for him. After he surrenders to me, I will send military horses to govern Yizhou as if I had taken over Jingzhou. The military and political heroes of Yizhou must be in the hands of our New Han Army. Of course, if Liu Zhang is indeed talented at that time, it is not impossible to keep him in Yizhou to continue to serve as the pastor of Jingzhou. However, what he did must be done in accordance with the policy of our new Han Dynasty. This is the biggest concession for me Liu Yi, which can allow Liu Zhang to continue to stay as the pastor of Yizhou. ”
"That's ......" Madame Jade frowned, looking embarrassed.
"Taifu, can't we really give in to each other? Do you have to send an army into Yizhou? Mrs. Yu looked at Liu Yi and said, "Actually...... The current Yizhou is not bad under Liu Zhang's governance. Compared with the Middle Earth of the Great Han Dynasty, Xichuan in the west, but can maintain a tranquility, if Taifu you really want to wave the army into Sichuan, then it will inevitably break the peace of Yizhou, and at that time, I am afraid that more people will suffer from the disaster of war. ”
"This is a matter of principle. The Han Dynasty can only be a court, and no more force will be allowed to establish itself as the king. Liu Yi shook his hand and said: "As for Mrs. Yu, you said that Yizhou is quite calm and the people are peaceful, but I, Liu Yi, dare not agree." The geography of Xichuan is complex, although it is known as the country of abundance, but its farther northwest, people of different races often invade the border mirror of Yizhou, Yizhou, is a place where Han people and strangers live together, the disparity between the rich and the poor, it is estimated that the gap is very large, your lady Yu stands at the top of Xichuan, do you know what the living conditions of ordinary people in Yizhou are? I, Liu Yi, don't believe that Yizhou, under Liu Zhang's governance, can be better than my New Han Dynasty. ”
Xichuan, in later generations, was not considered a wealthy area, and most of the people in those places have been living a hard life, especially in some remote mountainous areas. Due to the problem of transportation, it is really difficult for the outside materials to flow into Xichuan, which makes it really difficult to manage Xichuan because of its geographical location. Of course, if the government of Xichuan is clear and does not exploit the people layer by layer, or if the people of Xichuan can barely be self-sufficient, although it is a little harder, there is still no problem in surviving.
If Liu Yi wants to bring changes to Xichuan, he must first bring Xichuan under the rule of the New Han Dynasty.
Madame Jade was silent. Because she really didn't know much about the living conditions of the people at the bottom, she was afraid that she wouldn't pay too much attention to it before. If you compare Yizhou with the New Han Dynasty, this may really not be comparable.
She spent a lot of time in Luoyang, and she could deeply feel that under the rule of the New Han Dynasty in Luoyang, the local people, they had not only solved the problem of food and clothing for survival, but were really able to live a fairly sufficient and prosperous life.
In her heart, Mrs. Yu actually hopes that Yizhou can be under the governance of the New Han Dynasty, so that Xichuan can be better.
Seeing that Mrs. Yu didn't speak, Liu Yi thought for a while and said, "Actually, you are a little skeptical that Liu Zhang really has such a long-term vision and can attack Yizhou before my Xinhan army has officially attacked. I can send you to talk to me about these things. I estimate that there should be capable people around Liu Zhang. It should be someone else who reminded Liu Zhang. Let Liu Zhang send you to discuss this matter with me in advance. Now, by Liu Zhang's side, are there any advisers such as Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and so on? ”
"Hmm...... Heh, I didn't expect that Taifu, your intelligence work has done a good job. actually knows what advisers Liu Zhang's account will have. Madame Jade said with a little surprise.
"Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles. I also know that Liu Zhang's account. There are generals Zhang Ren, Huang Quan, Li Yan, Yan Yan, etc., all of which are the pillars of Liu Zhang's defense of Yizhou. Of course, in terms of strategists, there are also strategists such as Lin, Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, etc. It's just one of them. ”
Liu Yi naturally knew these characters. Even if his intelligence department didn't spy on it, Liu Yi could find it in the Three Kingdoms information in the solar mobile phone.
Among them, Liu Yi once confirmed to Zhao Yun that Zhang Ren, the chief general under Liu Zhang's account, was Zhao Yun's senior brother. It's just that Zhao Yun himself hasn't seen him. It is said that when Liu Yan was still the Taishou of Youzhou, he had to resist the invasion of foreign races. But there was no available general under his account, so he asked Tong Yuan, who had met him. Ask him to recommend a general to him. As a result, Tong Yuan was also anxious for justice and righteousness, and he was also quite indignant at the invasion of foreign races, and he himself often secretly intervened to help the border soldiers resist the invasion of foreign races. Therefore, he sent Zhang Ren, who had not yet learned martial arts, down the mountain and took refuge in Liu Yan.
After that, Zhang Ren has been by Liu Yan's side, until now he has followed Liu Yan's son Liu Zhang.
Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu are the same, they both let Tong Yuan send down the mountain before they succeeded. It is also to resist the invasion of foreign enemies. Including, the disciple Zhao Yun who was later accepted. In the same way, in order to resist the invasion of foreign races, he was sent down the mountain by Tong Yuan. It's just that the difference is that the three junior brothers are all different masters, and there is also that Zhao Yun's martial arts training qualifications are higher than those of Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu, and when Zhao Yun went down the mountain, he had already won the true inheritance of Tong Yuan.
Zhang Ren is not very easy to deal with, and Liu Yi is even a little suspicious, the Zhang Ren recorded in history does not seem to have a high force value, and there is nothing outstanding. But Liu Yi now estimates that Zhang Ren will at least be a first-class general. The eldest apprentice of the gun king Tong Yuan, no matter how bad the force is, it won't be too bad, right? Otherwise, it is unlikely that he will be trusted and reused by Liu Yan and Liu Zhang's father and son. On the contrary, Yan Yan, who has always been thought to be the first military general under Liu Zhang, does not seem to be too well known. Liu Yi suspected that Zhang Ren's martial arts should not be under Yan Yan.
If there is anything else, it can only be said that Zhang Ren's luck is too bad, he may not have recorded the previous battle with Liu Yan, and as soon as he appeared, he met the invincible Zhang Fei, so he was defeated in successive battles, and was finally captured alive and then executed. Speaking of which, Liu Yi felt that he was a little wronged.
In addition, like Li Yan, Huang Quan, Wu Lan, Deng Xian, Leng Bao, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Wu Ban, etc., these generals should not be vain. Among them, Liu Yi estimated that many of them have the strength of first-class generals.
Liu Zhang and Liu Zhangjun give the world the feeling that they are very weak, but in fact, according to Liu Yi's understanding, Liu Zhang is not weak, and his military and horse soldiers are not weak. If you want to say that you are weak, it may be that Liu Zhang does not have a super fierce general who can really handle it. There is no super fierce general like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, and Xu Zhu who can set the heart of the army.
Liu Yi knew that if he wanted to fight Xichuan, he was afraid that he would not be able to do it in the short term, and Liu Zhang had these generals who were guarding the dangerous Shu Road into Sichuan, which made it difficult for the New Han Army to attack Yizhou for the time being.
According to Liu Yi's plan, he plans to wait for Xiliang to settle down, and then enter Yizhou and Hanzhong from Xiliang, so it may be easier than going west directly from Jingzhou.
Originally, Liu Yi didn't plan not to think about the matter of Xichuan now, but since Liu Zhang was able to send Mrs. Yu to talk to him with the foresight, Liu Yi began to think about how Yizhou would recover.
Now, since Liu Zhang took the initiative to send someone to discuss this matter with him. Whether this is Liu Zhang's meaning or the meaning of Liu Zhang's generals, does this mean that Yizhou is already cowardly before fighting for the war? They were afraid of the New Han Army, so they took the initiative to seek negotiations?
Liu Yi thought about it again, but remembered that when Cao Cao captured Jingzhou, Liu Zhang was panicked and uneasy, so he sent someone to make friends with Cao Cao. However, Liu Zhang sent Zhang Song, who was not good-looking, but his talent was extraordinary, to see Cao Cao, but he didn't want to cause Cao Cao's displeasure. In particular, Zhang Song also has the ability to never forget, it just so happens that Cao Cao's new masterpiece, Meng De's new book, after being read by Zhang Song, he can recite it backwards, lying that Cao Cao attacked the works of his predecessors, as a result, Cao Cao has a hard time arguing, and he also suspects that what he did is made by his predecessors, and under shame, he burned Meng De's new book with a fire.
When Cao Cao woke up and was deceived, but regretted it too late, Cao Cao, who was lost face, did not want to see Zhang Song even more, and even held a grudge against Yizhou, and he could no longer talk to Liu Zhang, and broke off his friendship.
Because of this, Zhang Song voted for Liu Bei and acted in a good show to lure the wolf into the house, which gave Liu Bei a chance to win Yizhou.
It's a pity that Zhang Song's sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and his quick tongue are destined to make him unable to keep secrets, and his tone is not tight, and Liu Zhang knew prematurely that he colluded with Liu Bei to seize Yizhou, and he himself ended up in a different place.
