Veterans such as Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, and Chen Zhi have followed Liu Bei for many years, conquered the south and the north, and experienced countless hardships.

Dongzhou factions such as Fa Zheng and Zhang Song made great efforts in Liu Bei's entry into Shu.

So after being proclaimed emperor, Liu Bei reused and rewarded both the veteran faction and the Dongzhou faction.

As for the Yizhou faction, it is not allowed to be reused by Liu Bei at all.

There are a total of sixteen important positions in the Shu Han center, almost all of which are occupied by the patriarchal faction and the Dongzhou faction, and there is no one in the Yizhou faction!

And Liu Bei's suppression of the Yizhou faction is also very simple.

Long before he entered Shu, Yizhou did whatever he wanted because of the local heroes, causing social turmoil.

In addition, the Yizhou scholars were quite resentful of Liu Bei because of the loss of interests.

Because of this, Liu Bei will suppress the local forces in Yizhou!

But in this way, it will only deepen the resentment of the Yizhou Shi clan towards him.

For example, Liu Bei issued a strict law prohibiting any interaction with Cao Wei.

But Qian Zhou still took the risk and traded with Deng Ai and others.

In the final analysis, he resents Liu Bei and doesn't take it seriously!

After hearing this, Deng Ai and the three glanced at each other, and they all saw each other's joy.

Don't look at Qian Zhou's young age, but he was born in Yizhou and has a good relationship with the local scholars.

From his words, it is not difficult to hear that the Yizhou party has quite a complaint about Liu Bei.

If you can get in touch with the Yizhou faction through him and take Shu in the future, wouldn't it be easy?

Thinking of this, Deng Ai glanced at Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei immediately nodded knowingly, and said to Qian Zhou with a smile,

"When I heard what happened to the prince of Yunnan and the Yizhou Shi clan, I really feel unjust for you!"

"But don't worry, it won't be long before you don't have to suffer the anger of the big-eared thief anymore!"

Qian Zhou was slightly stunned, and then understood,

"Could it be that Great Wei is preparing to send troops to attack Yizhou?"

"Not bad!"

Jiang Wei nodded in response and laughed,

"When Yizhou returns to the jurisdiction of the imperial court, you will have a good life at that time!"

"That's great!"

When Chen Zhou heard this, his spirit was suddenly lifted!

"It's just...... There is a natural danger in Shudi, and I want to ...... It's not so easy to capture. ”

Deng Ai said and sighed.

Qian Zhou's heart moved, and he heard the meaning of Deng Ai's words, and said tentatively,

"It's just a pity, I'm only shallow in the next year, and I really can't help Da Wei!"

"Childe is really polite, my Dawei is useful to Childe, but I don't know if Childe is willing."

"Well...... this"

Qian Zhou looked hesitant.

Although the local scholars of Yizhou led by him were quite respectful of the Great Wei's attack on Yizhou and the overthrow of Liu Bei, they did not want to stand out for it.

After all, at present, Yizhou is in charge of Liu Bei, and these localists have neither real power nor troops.

rashly working for Cao Wei, it is very likely that the family will be ruined!

Seeing Qian Zhou's worries, Jiang Wei comforted on the side,

"Childe, don't worry, we don't want you to openly rebel against Liu Bei, we just want you to help secretly......"

He told him about asking for help from Zhou Zhou.

After hearing this, Chen Zhou immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't agree immediately.

"It's not a trivial matter, I need to go back and discuss it."

At present, Qian Zhou is still young and has not yet become the leader of the Yizhou faction.

Jiang Wei naturally understood, nodded and said,

"It's easy to say, but this matter is confidential, don't leak it!"

"Please rest assured!"

Chen Zhou solemnly saluted Deng Ai, Jiang Wei, and Biqiu Jian, and then got up to leave.

After he left, the three brothers also returned to Nanzheng, and wrote a letter about the matter, which was sent back to Luoyang overnight.

……

Luoyang City.

After reading the letter sent back by Deng Ai, Yang Ling couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

"I don't know what makes King Qi so happy?"

Pang Tong on the side smiled when he saw Yang Ling's eyebrows, and said with some curiosity.

"Well, see for yourself."

Yang Ling said and handed the letter in his hand to Pang Tong.

Pang Tong took the letter and read it with Gao Rou, Xu Shu and others on the side.

"How can King Qi be so sure that Qian Zhou and other Yizhou locals will agree to cooperate with us?"

Pang Tong said with a beard.

"Yes, even if they agree, how can King Qi be sure that they can really help us?"

Xu Shu also raised his own questions.

When Yang Ling heard this, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Others don't know, but he still doesn't know Qian Zhou.

The famous Shu surrender faction in history single-handedly wrote the "Theory of Hatred of the Country", which trumpeted capitulationism and defeatism, and its negative remarks had an extremely bad impact on Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition.

The public opinion position of Shu was captured by it, and the people's hearts were instigated by it.

So that when Cao Wei's soldiers approached the city, there was no fighting spirit in the city.

Qian Zhou himself personally persuaded Liu Chan to surrender in Kaicheng!

It is no exaggeration to say that Qian Zhou is Wang Jingwei during the Three Kingdoms period.

With the help of Zhou Zhou, Yang Ling still has to worry that the local faction in Yizhou will not cooperate, and his economic war will not be able to be carried out smoothly?

"Rest assured, this matter will be completed!"

Yang Ling said with a smile.

Seeing that he was so confident, although the people were curious, they did not say anything more.

……

At the same time, Yizhou Chengdu.

After separating from Deng Ai and others, Qian Zhou took the grain obtained from the trade, carefully avoided the Shu Han army, and finally returned to Chengdu.

He didn't care to take a breath, so he came to Huang Quan's mansion in person.

Huang Quan has a generous temperament, Hong Ya is thoughtful, and is the most respected by the Yizhou faction, so most of the Yizhou scholars like to come to his mansion to chat.

At this time, in the hall of his mansion, in addition to Huang Quan, there were Ma Zhong, Li Hui and others.

Seeing Qian Zhou's return, Huang Quan immediately beckoned him to sit down, and then asked,

"Yunnan, what's going on with the grain?"

"Back to my uncle, everything is going well, and the grain purchased back has been placed in the farm outside the city."

Qian Zhou replied.

Hearing this, Huang Quan and the others present were all relieved.

Since Liu Bei raised an army to attack Hanzhong, the price of grain has skyrocketed.

After he returned from defeat, it rose to the point of terror.

This made Huang Quan and other scholars quite unbearable.

Because of this, they asked Qian Zhou to come forward and do business with Cao Wei and buy some grain and grass in case of emergency.

"Yunnan has worked hard this time, you should go back and rest quickly."

Huang Quan said with a smile.

But Qian Zhou did not leave immediately, but hesitated for a moment, and then said,

"The little nephew has something to tell uncle."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"The people who traded grain with the little nephew are Yang Ling's two senior disciples, Deng Ai and Jiang Wei!"

When all the scholars heard this, their faces changed!

They never thought that it was just a simple smuggling of grain, and it would involve Yang Ling, who was in a high position in Cao Wei!

Huang Quan frowned slightly and groaned,

"Did they say anything to you?"
