Zhao Wei's family, relatives and subordinates who refused to surrender were all escorted to Dongshi, crying for a while, crying for a while, the people were sad, and the entire long street was shrouded in a gloomy fog.

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon, kill!" At the order of the prison officer, the executioners raised the butcher's knives in unison, and with a wave of thousands of ghost head knives, thousands of human heads fell to the ground at the same time, and half of the long street was stained red with blood.

At the same time, Liu Xun's cronies led people to surround Zhao Wei's mansion, and the gold and silver treasures in Zhao Yun's house were moved out one by one, piled up, and it seems that he has scavenged a lot of money over the years.

"Zhao Wei's family's wealth is all given to Zhang Ren, Zhang Song, Deng Xian and others", Liu Xun secretly calculated, "Zhang Ren has the greatest credit, so he will share more, Zhang Song surrendered in time, and skillfully offered the plan of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle, and the credit is secondary." Anyway, Deng Xian's role in capturing Zhao Wei this time is not small, and he has to share some of it. Other soldiers, big and small, will be rewarded one by one. ”

According to Liu Xun's thoughts, the orders were issued one by one in the name of Liu Zhang.

"The state pastor has an order, Zhang Ren is a general, he has meritorious service in quelling the rebellion, and the official is promoted to one level, replacing Zhao Wei's official position. 500 taels of gold and 2,000 horses of brocade. ”

"The state pastor has an order, don't drive Zhang Song, his wit is unparalleled, and his loyalty is unparalleled. In the pacification of Zhao Wei's rebellion, he made great contributions, and was promoted to the second level, and at the same time appointed as the advisor of the state pastor, rewarded with 300 taels of gold and 1,000 horses of Shu brocade. ”

"The state pastor has an order, Deng Xian is in time to do it, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and reward 500 taels of silver and 500 horses of brocade."

"The state pastor has an order ......".

As for the fields of Zhao Wei and his relatives, Liu Xun sent people to check the land, and Zhao Wei's field alone was as much as 3,000 mu, as well as the land of Wu Lan and Mrs. Zhang's family and the land of Zhao Wei's cronies.

"Come on, seal these accounts first, and the official will dispose of them at his own discretion," Liu Xun issued an order, "Yes, Lord Governor." At present, Liu Zhang is still nominally a state pastor, but he has long been out of the state pastor's mansion, and at the same time, he has recommended Liu Xun to the imperial court as the new state pastor. Everyone in Chengdu knows that Liu Xun is already the de facto state pastor, and it doesn't matter who the nominal Eastern Han court appoints as the state pastor.

The most important thing in front of Liu Xun now is to persuade Fa Zheng and Meng Da to surrender.

In the state pastor's mansion, Liu Xun recruited Zhang Song.

"Brother Yongnian, now Zhao Wei's rebellion has been quelled, but Fa Zheng and Meng Da are hoarding troops and bamboo, and there is a faint threat to Chengdu, so you can only go hard", Liu Xun said to Zhang Song, in this era, Zhang Song is not a top strategist. However, his mouth and tongue are undoubtedly a top lobbyist, not to mention that he is also a friend of life and death with Fa Zheng and Meng Da, and it is most appropriate for him to persuade Fa Zheng and Meng Da to descend.

"Don't worry, my lord, I'll go and call Fazheng and Mengda to come down," Zhang Song assured, he now has a great increase in status in Yizhou, and his voice is radiant when he speaks.

Zhang Song went to prepare horses, took a few personal soldiers, and went to Mianzhu.

"In case Zhang Song's lobbying fails, a big battle is indispensable, and we must take precautions and prepare early, so as not to be caught off guard by the enemy", Liu Xun secretly thought, while instructing Zhang Ren to be vigorous and ready to send troops to Mianzhu at any time.

Mianzhu, in the garrison mansion, Fa Zheng and Meng Da are discussing, "Brother Meng Da, a few days ago, Zhao Wei came to say that he was going to kill Liu Zhang and others, and he was the pastor of Yizhou. Now that the news is coming, Zhao Wei failed, and the family and relatives were killed by Liu Xun, this Liu Xun killed decisively, which is very different from Liu Zhang, you and I have to prepare early. ”

"Brother Xiaozhi, Liu Xun has now controlled the situation in Yizhou, and his subordinate Zhang Renneng has been able to fight through the battle, and he has the support of Yan Yan, Deng Xian and other cadres, and his wings are full. If there is a war and there is a huge disparity in strength, it is better to lead the soldiers of the city and surrender to others. I think Liu Biao is a good person, sitting on the land of Jingzhou, and he has always come to Corporal Lixian, so I will surrender him", Meng Da said.

"In today's world, there are not many people who can be called heroes. Liu Biao is called a celebrity, but he has a false appearance, and sooner or later he will be captured. I heard that Zhang Song is currently very trusted by Liu Xun, and Liu Xun will send him to recruit us sooner or later, so we might as well wait and see what happens", Fa Zhengdao, compared with Meng Da, he seemed more calm, "During this time, first send someone to listen to prevent Liu Xun's army from attacking." If he pretends to send people to persuade him to surrender and secretly bring people to attack, we will abandon the city and run away and join Liu Biao instead. ”

"Our roots are in Yizhou, and all the family's land and property are here, Liu Xun is ruthless and ruthless to those who oppose him, Zhao Wei is an example. Until the last moment, it is not a good way to switch to others", Fa Zhengdao, "What's more, if you really want to switch to others, it is difficult to say whether you can be reused, and if you don't get it right, you will be regarded as a capricious villain." ”

"If you are filial, let me open my mouth suddenly", Meng Da suddenly realized, "Let's go and prepare." ”

As expected by Fazheng, a few days later, the soldiers defending the city came to report: "Zhang Song outside the city asks to see." ”

Fa Zhengxi said: "Please." ”

Then he said, "Wait, I will go out of the city to meet you in person." ”

The city gate was opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and Fa Zheng and Meng Da led their soldiers to meet Zhang Song.

"Brother Yongnian, these days, Xiaozhi and I have been looking forward to you left and right, and finally we have looked forward to you", Meng Da said, "What kind of wind is blowing today, it actually blew you, brother." ”

"The two brothers, Corporal Liu Yizhou Lixian, are waiting for the brothers to come, please ask the two brothers to meet each other, and prepare to entrust them with important tasks."

"Brother, in Liu Yizhou, does he mean Liu Zhang or Liu Xun?" Fa Zheng asked knowingly.

"Filial piety, of course, refers to Liu Xun. To tell the truth, now Liu Xun is very important to his younger brother, leaning on the Great Wall, but all military and political affairs, let the younger brother participate, and obey the younger brother's words. The younger brother raised the two elder brothers to Liu Xunbao, Liu Xun was thirsty for talent, and he would definitely ask the younger brother to come and invite the two brothers to meet each other in Yizhou", Zhang Song showed his incorruptible tongue and began to persuade him to surrender.

"Well, Brother Yongnian is a guest from afar, so let's go to the house to serve tea first, a major military event, and it's not too late to mention it later. We brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, and it's time to talk about the old ones," Meng Da said.

"Okay, let's talk in the house."

When they arrived at the garrison mansion, the guests and hosts sat down, and Zhang Song reminded him of the old words, "The two brothers, Liu Xunxiong is very talented, and it must not be a thing in the pool, don't hesitate anymore." ”

"Brother Yongnian, how is Liu Xun's talent compared to Liu Biao in Jingzhou?" Instead of answering Zhang Song's question head-on, Fa Zheng asked rhetorically.

"Compared with Liu Xun, Liu Biao is just a fool, not comparable." Zhang Song said disdainfully.

"Oh, how does that compare to Dong Zhuo, Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Highway, Sun Jian and others?" Fa Zheng's interest was aroused.

"Dong Zhuo, just a jackal, has the ruthlessness of a hero, but has no strategy of a hero. I only know the brutality of blindness, and I don't know how to show grace to the people, although the soldiers and horses of Xiliang are fine, they are just a flash in the pan. Gongsun Zan is greedy, Yuan Shao is resourceful, and he will eventually be captured", Zhang Song talked eloquently, "Looking at today, there are not many characters who can stand side by side with Liu Xun." ”

"Oh, would you like to hear about it?" Meng Dadao.

"Resourceful, anticipating the enemy's opportunity, the name of the ancients will be difficult to reach. Liu Xun once foresaw that Zhang Lu would come to commit a crime, and the result was the same as he expected; magnanimous, can achieve great things, the younger brother was under Zhao Wei, Liu Xun knew my talent, regardless of the previous suspicions, the amount of recruitment; There is great luck, last year Huixing landed in Shu, people who are proficient in celestial phenomena say that the saint is in Shu, Yizhou is prosperous, Zuo Ci Daxian once accepted him as a disciple, this little brother saw with his own eyes, tens of thousands of soldiers in Yizhou witnessed with his own eyes; In addition, the killing is decisive, and the grace and power are used together, which has the posture of a hero. With these four articles, taking advantage of the right time and place, if the British lord does not return to obedience, where will he go to find the master? Zhang Songlang said.

"I didn't expect this Liu Xun to be so eloquent and strategic, which made Brother Yongnian so admired. Does Liu Xun have anything to say when he mentions the two of us? Fa Zheng asked.

Liu Xun once said that Meng Da can be a good general. Fa Xiao went straight to the army and ruled the country when he got off the horse, which is really a rare talent for governing the country. Today's governance of Shuzhong, he will govern the world every day, and he will rely more on filial piety", Zhang Song said, in fact, Liu Xun mentioned the talent of Fazheng, but some words were added by himself.

"I don't think Liu Xun values me so much, I'm willing to follow it to the death", Fazheng was a little moved.

"I, Meng Da, am also willing to fully assist Liu Xun, expand the territory, and build a foundation for all generations", Meng Da also said.

"Great, the two brothers can think like this, Liu Yizhou must be very happy. Let's leave for Chengdu, the younger brother guarantees his personality, and Liu Yizhou will definitely reuse the two. Zhang Song said happily.

"The two of us will go and clean up, explain the matter of defending the city, and set off with Brother Yongnian immediately", Fa Zheng said cheerfully.

After sending Zhang Song away, Liu Xun came to the post house again, and surrounded Zhang Lu's envoy Yang Song in every way, "Brother Yang, I have long admired you as the first strategist in Hanzhong, and when I saw you today, I deserved my reputation."

"Where, where, the state pastor has a good reputation", Yang Song was flattered, "Yang Song is just a layman, I am really ashamed to be reused by my lord." ”

"Please also ask Brother Yang to reach your father-in-law, in the future, we will form an alliance with Yizhou and Hanzhong, and we will never lose each other", Liu Xundao said.

"Zhou Mu's intentions, Yang Song will inevitably reach my lord, from now on, our two families will strike the army and get along amicably", Yang Song said, but he thought in his heart, "It seems that Liu Xun is young in the end, and he is afraid that our Hanzhong soldiers and horses will come to attack, so he pleases us." It is rumored that this person is a hero, but it seems that it may not be true. ”

"Liu Xun originally wanted to stay in Chengdu for a few more days, I'm afraid that your lord is anxious, so you can set off today and return to your master. Before leaving, I was a little polite, not a respect, and I hoped that Brother Yang would accept it with a smile. Liu Xun made a move and carried a box up left and right, which was heavy, and it was gold and silver at a glance.

"Both Mengzhou Mu is wrong to love, but he has no choice but to be disrespectful, and he deserves it", Brother Yang's triangular eyes smiled and blossomed, and when he saw gold and silver, he forgot everything, what mission, etc., all of them were left behind.

Yang Song immediately said goodbye to Liu Xun and set off to report back to Zhang Lu.

"Zhang Lu actually reused this person, he was really mediocre and incompetent. I will take Hanzhong sooner or later, but now the Yizhou soldiers are weak, and the time has not yet come, Yang Song is a person who is greedy for money and profits, and he can use it in the future. Liu Xun secretly planned and planned a blueprint for his future.

Not long after, Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and Meng Da came to see Liu Xun, and Liu Xun was overjoyed. After a long conversation with Fa Zheng, he felt that this person had a lot of insights in governing the country, so he immediately asked Meng Da to return to Mianzhu and decided to stay in France and be in Chengdu to assist him in handling government affairs.

Since then, Liu Xun has devoted himself to training soldiers and horses, calming people's hearts, and waiting for the opportunity. In addition, Liu Xun studied the Taoist martial arts taught by Zuo Ci all day long, refining pills.

Time is like an arrow, and before I know it, a month has passed.

Luoyang, above the court, Emperor Han Xian asked tremblingly: "Master Dong, Liu Zhang asked for his resignation from Yizhou Mu and recommended his son Liu Xun to succeed him, what do you think?" ”

"Liu Zhang, this bastard thing, Yizhou Mu was appointed by the imperial court, how could he allow him to give and receive it privately, it was simply against him. Your Majesty, you should send an order to Jingzhou to assassinate Liu Biao, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and fight Liu Zhang together", Dong Zhuo said angrily.
