The pavilion is deep, the plum fragrance is a little, and Xun Yu is clear and langlang.

"Yuan Benchu is a person, and you know it. The children of his family are famous and handsome, and they are first-class in terms of talent and talent. It is a weak crown to ascend to the dynasty, famous in the sea, and because of Yuan's successive generations, guests and protégés are all over the world. Therefore, if you ride out alone, you can still be in the countryside. Buzhen is a county, and it can shock the Central Plains. ”

But the so-called country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change. Yuan Benchu is an arrogant son, and the fashion of doom can work hard, once the momentum is prosperous, the outside is wide and the inside is taboo. In this way, he can gather people but cannot use them, and he has great ambitions but cannot be virtuous. Moreover, the imperial army is lenient, the decree is not established, and although the soldiers and horses are strong, they are actually difficult to use. With such great ambitions and talents, why should the king worry about it? ”

Xun You, as a handsome person in Yingchuan Shilin, of course knows very well what kind of person Yuan Shao is. In fact, the above evaluation is not only Xun Yu's opinion, but also his uncle Xun Yu's opinion, these people are all outstanding people in the world, how can they not see clearly the so-called "world model Yuan Benchu" of the same generation?

And Zhang Chong actually didn't really come into contact with Yuan Shao, his limited understanding of this person was the result of later generations, and now after listening to Xun You's opinion, he understands.

It turns out that this Yuan Shao belongs to the kind of player who is "stable against the wind and smooth the wind and waves".

However, for Xun You's evaluation, Zhang Chong also maintained his own opinion, he didn't think that a person was stagnant, since Yuan Shao could come to this level, it was impossible to grow without a little growth. If you look at Yuan Shao with the old eyes, you will inevitably suffer a big loss in the future.

Therefore, Zhang Chong just laughed, said no more, and continued to read the last military report.

And if the first one is to make Zhang Chongxi happy, the second is to make him sad, and the third one is only stunned and absurd.

It turned out that the princes of Yizhou, who were in charge of millions of people, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan died.

The absurdity is not the death of an old man in his fifties, but the death of him in the mouth of a famous ghost witch in Shuzhong, who is also the mother of the third-generation heavenly master Zhang Lu.

Putting aside the absurd and sinful plots, Zhang Chong keenly felt that with Liu Yan's death, the already clear situation in the world was about to make waves again.

I just don't know who will be the hero this time?

Thinking of this, Zhang Chong looked at the northwest from afar, and only sighed that the mountains and rivers were good, and the heroes rose one after another.

……

Zhang Chong's gaze crossed the Qinling Mountains, crossed the ancient road, and fell on the basin that was the most beloved by heaven and earth, and the center of this basin is the country of abundance, Chengdu.

But today's Chengdu is not so full of flowers, but swords and soldiers are everywhere, and people are panicking.

Countless Dongzhou soldiers and soldiers poured into each house like wolves at this moment, searching for all possible people related to the "Five Dou Mi" Sect.

Since the absurd death of Yizhou Mu Liu Yan four days ago, such arrests have continued until now.

Under the support of Zhao Wei, the Taishou of Shu County, and Jia Long, the governor of Shu County, Liu Yan's fourth son, Liu Zhang, was temporarily appointed as the pastor of Yizhou, and he could officially take the throne just by waiting for the imperial court's Jiedu to send it.

And the first thing Liu Zhang did after taking the throne was to crack down on the Wudoumi Sect under his rule, and he suspected that his father's death was a conspiracy.

This view is not only Liu Zhang's own opinion, but also the elders of the Dongzhou faction and the local faction, and the two rarely maintain the same action against the Wudoumi Sect.

Immediately after Liu Yan's death, Liu Zhang took Zhang Lu's mother and her family into custody, and then took five buckets of rice disciples all over the city of Chengdu.

At that time, Zhang Lu was preaching in the Hanzhong area, and after hearing the news, he hurriedly led the congregation into the mountains, not daring to fight against the Yizhou government.

As a result, the leaderless Wudou Mi Sect was greatly damaged by the joint strangulation of elites inside and outside Yizhou, and gradually disappeared into the underground.

……

At this time, when there was a hustle and bustle outside, in the shogunate festival hall of Yizhou Mu, the former powerful center of power was dressed up as a mourning hall today.

Young Liu Zhang looked at his father lying in the coffin like this, and his heart was full of sorrow for the future.

The old man lying in the coffin was eight feet tall and had a golden face, although he was smeared with thick powder because of the burial, but the outline of his face was also dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, with a high nose and a high nose, and his thick long hair was also carefully groomed and spread on his chest.

This person is the king of Lu Gong of the Han Dynasty, the king of Jiangxia Jingling, Zhonglang, Situ Fupeng, Luoyang Ling, Jizhou Thorn History, Nanyang Taishou, Zongzheng, Taichang, one of the thirteen states of Fang Bo Liu Yan.

This noble-born nobleman with elegant manners died absurdly in a peach-colored game before he realized his dream of becoming emperor, which is embarrassing.

Liu Yan is undoubtedly successful, in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he is the only clan that was allowed by Liu Hong to serve as a state pastor, as for the rest, even if he was given a festival, he was still a thorn in the name.

And when Liu Yan entered Yizhou with the Son of Heaven, with the help of local heroes, he quickly broke the Yellow Turban Army in the state and stabilized public order. At the same time, Liu Yan also relied on the help of friends who entered Shu one after another, formed his own interest group, and began to gradually seize power from the local faction in Yizhou.

After the Henan Shi Republic Revolution, Liu Hong moved in a hurry, and Liu Yan also became Liu Hong's most powerful supporter. It was by relying on the grain and straw of Shu that Liu Hong was able to resist several attacks in the Kwantung region. At the same time, it was Liu Hong's unconditional endorsement of Liu Yan that made Liu Yan truly master Yizhou and become a veritable lord of Yizhou.

So how did Liu Yan gain a foothold in Yizhou? It's a troika.

The first one was a group of foreign scholars who had followed Liu Yan into Shu, and almost all of these people were guests and friends who were willing to follow Liu Yan, and they were also the foundation of Liu Yan's rule.

The most outstanding of this faction is Zhao Wei, who had previously participated in the largest decisive battle in the Northland, and finally returned to Guanzhong alive, and after learning that his former friend was already a state uncle, he hurriedly went to Shu to take refuge.

And Liu Yan also needed an excellent military attache like Zhao Wei to assist him, and he was promoted several times, and finally became the official to Shu County.

In addition to the carriage of Dongzhou Shi, Liu Yan also relied on the localists.

This is also divided into two kinds, one is the emerging local faction of Pang Xi and Dong Fu, these people were originally the shogunates in Liu Yan's shogunate, and after Liu Yan entered Shu, they also quickly developed into an important force.

And the other is not to drive Jia Long, Qianwei is too guarded by Ren Qi, engaged in Chen Chao and other Shu clans, they have made a lot of contributions in the process of Liu Yan's entry into Yizhou, which can be said to be another foundation of Liu Yan.

But for this foundation, Liu Yan is also very guarded, because the strength of these people is too strong, if it weren't for Liu Hong's support for Liu Yan to make these people jealous, these people may have listened to Liu Yan a long time ago.

It was precisely for the reason of guarding against these people that Liu Yan recruited a third faction, that is, the folk Wudoumi Sect.

The Wudou Rice Sect was founded by Zhang Lu's grandfather, Zhang Ling, and there have been three generations of sect leaders so far, and their influence in the entire Yizhou is very great.

Liu Yan also hopes to dilute the local influence of the local party by winning over the Wudou Rice Sect, and as for Zhang Lu's mother, it can only be said that it is a good incident.

It's just that no one expected that this incident would also take away Liu Yan's old life.

If it weren't for the fact that his youngest son Liu Zhang happened to be by his side at that time, this Yizhou would definitely be in chaos.

As for why Liu Zhang happened to be in Chengdu? Then it can only be said that everything is arranged by fate.

In terms of Liu Yan's generation, he is Liu Hong's uncle, so when the little emperor Liu Xie ascended the throne, in order to contact the relationship and respect the elders of the clan, the Han court will send a gift to Liu Yan in November every year, and this time it is Liu Zhang who escorts him, and also celebrates the New Year with him by the way.

Liu Yan is also miserable, he has four sons, of which only the third son Liu Mao followed him into Shu, and the other three sons were left in Beijing as hostages.

Originally, these three sons also held high positions, but later the eldest Liu Fan was involved in the struggle between the Guanxi Hao clan and the eunuchs and died, and the second Liu Dan and the fourth Liu Zhang were not implicated in Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing later because of their light participation.

And Liu Yan has always wanted to get the second and fourth children back, because the third child next to him has a madness and can't take over.

But Liu Yan probably didn't expect that the scene where he and his young son met would be like this.

So why is Liu Zhang so sad in his heart? Isn't it already supported as the pastor of Yizhou?

It turned out that Liu Zhang was not stupid, he knew that being a Yizhou pastor at this time was to be roasted on the fire.

He was also to blame.

He had just arrived in Chengdu and was not clear about the balance of power in Yizhou, and he simply implicated his father's death in Zhang Lu's mother.

But who would have thought that Liu Zhang was just going to be imprisoned, but he was deviated by Dongzhou Shi and Yizhou Shi together, and the whole operation began to expand.

Later, when Fa Zheng, who was on an envoy to Chengdu with Liu Zhang, had an in-depth understanding of the situation in Yizhou, he came back and told Liu Zhang that the Five Dou Rice Sect was so important.

At the same time, Fa Zheng also reminded Liu Zhang, that is, Zhao Wei, the Taishou of Shu County, and Jia Long, the governor of Shu County, were unpredictable, and asked him to guard against the two of them.

Liu Zhang, who was still excited, was said by Fa Zheng, which can be said to be like sitting on pins and needles.

He doesn't know anyone in Yizhou, and he doesn't have any political resources to use. Even now, as a Mu Bo, he is still supported by Zhao Wei and Jia Long, and it can be said that he has no foundation.

In fact, Liu Zhang still has a certain understanding of his father's thoughts, and when he was in Chang'an, he heard that his father's behavior was comparable to that of an emperor, and his ambition was not small.

But Liu Zhang did not agree with his father's idea, in his opinion, Liu Han had reached the point of life and death. Whether it is the two Yuan in the Central Plains, or the Taishan army in Hebei, or Cao Cao, who is loyal to the outside and traitor at home, they are all enemies of the Han Dynasty.

And at this time, no matter how chaotic they are within the Liu family, it will really be useless.

So at the beginning, when he was supported by Zhao Wei and Jia Long as the state pastor, Liu Zhang was quite happy, because he felt that with his own efforts, Yizhou and Chang'an's Kansai would be closer.

But today's news made him understand that all this was false.

It turned out that today, the original Hanzhong Taishou Sugu was taken by Dongzhou Shi, and at the same time, the slope valley and other crossings from Bashu to Sanfu were also cut off.

Na Sugu was appointed and dismissed by the Kansai Imperial Court as the Taishou of Hanzhong, but in this way he was taken down by Dongzhou Shi.

What are these people thinking, do they still have to say?

So at this moment, in his father's mourning hall, Liu Zhang is both afraid and sad, full of despair for the future.

But his scene was seen by a person who walked in from outside, but he thought it was a love for Liu Yan, nodded unconsciously, and praised:

"The lord is really pure and filial, it seems that the people of Yizhou are blessed."

Liu Zhang was startled by this voice, and hurriedly turned to look, but saw that the person who spoke was long-haired and broad-shouldered, and he was tall, but there was a scar on his cheek that added countless evil intentions.

This person is Zhao Wei, the Taishou of Shu County, and now the head of Dongzhou Shi.

Zhao Wei crawled out of the pile of dead people, and even if he praised it at this moment, it was a little chill in his mouth.

Liu Zhang was not a bold lord, otherwise he would not have been selected by the Guanxi Imperial Court to come to Chengdu. What Liu Xie and Dong Zhuo value is Liu Zhang's weakness.

So, when Liu Zhang saw the evil Zhao Wei, his whole body trembled, and then he was silent.

And Zhao Wei was even more satisfied when he saw Liu Zhang's appearance.

He walked up to Liu Zhang by himself, first helped Liu Zhang straighten out his messy clothes, and his tone was like treating his nephew:

"You will be the lord of Yizhou in the future, you need to be cautious in everything you say and do, you are not in a good position, but my uncle believes that you can."

Liu Zhang was a little at a loss, so he listened like this.

After that, when he saw Zhao Wei sitting at the upper seat, he took the initiative to walk over, and really stood aside as a nephew.

Zhao Wei looked at Liu Zhang unexpectedly and asked:

"What do you have to tell me?"

Liu Zhang stiffened his head and muttered:

"Uncle, can we make peace with the imperial court? Is it really necessary to meet each other in arms? ”

Zhao Wei was stunned for a moment, tilted his head and looked at Liu Zhang:

"My lord, where did you start with this? Who said that he was going to meet the soldiers of the imperial court? That's what the Fa told you? ”

Seeing Zhao Wei talking about his friend, Liu Zhang suddenly became full of courage and said loudly:

"Uncle, I know what you are doing in Hanzhong. You drove the court 2,000 stones without an order, and broke the slope valley road, and the above fell in the eyes of the court, what is it not a rebellion? ”

Seeing Liu Zhang's voice amplified, Zhao Wei suddenly became cold, and said lightly:

"Lord, don't talk to me so loudly, although our ears are not very good, but so close, we can still hear the words."

Zhao Wei's indifference shattered Liu Zhang's courage at once, not only did his voice become smaller, but even his waist was more bent, but at this time, Liu Zhang still remembered Fazheng's warning and worked hard:

"Uncle, the Kansai army is strong, and with the decline of the Kanto, it is not far from recovering Kyoto. And at this time, if we turn our backs on the court, we will not only be sinners of the Han family, but also drag down the family. Uncle, listen to me, stop it. ”

saw Zhao Wei sneer, and said lightly:

"Strong soldiers? Little lord, I'm afraid you don't know the news of the defeat of the Kansai soldiers in Bingzhou. Now it's not certain whether Chang'an can be defended, and you can still manage my Yizhou? In short, no matter how much you say, you will be your state pastor, and the rest will have your own uncles to share your worries. ”

After speaking, Zhao Wei pushed the case out, and Shi Ranran left.

And before leaving, he left the last sentence:

"Lord, the guard of honor outside has been waiting for a long time, there is nothing else, you can prepare to prepare, and I will see my Yizhou civil and military in a while."

After speaking, Zhao Wei left.

As soon as Zhao Wei left, Liu Zhang's whole strength was drained, and he leaned on his father's coffin, feeling miserable in his heart:

"What an uncle, what a close friend with my father. From the time you came in to the time you left, you didn't even see my father, so you dare to be my uncle? ”

Thinking of this, Liu Zhang's heart was even more powerless, and he couldn't help but exhale:

"What should I do?"

But looking around, there was no one to respond to him, and at this time he understood that he could only go down according to Zhao Wei's arrangement.

So, Liu Zhang tidied up himself, straightened his waist, and stepped out of the door.

But when he saw the set of honor guards outside, he was stunned in place, just because the set of honor guards in front of him was clearly the honor guard of the Son of Heaven.

At this time, Liu Zhang didn't understand what would greet him.
