Chapter 769: Ten Years of Sharpening the Sword
Yuan Yi came to Liu Jian crying, when Liu Jian was in Luoyang, he also had several meetings with Yuan Yi, but the two sides were not very familiar, at that time everyone just nodded friends, Yuan Yi knew that Liu Jian was Yuan Ji's little follower, and Liu Jian also knew that Yuan Ji was Yuan Ji's brother.
Time has passed, almost 20 years have passed, and both sides have entered the middle age of their lives from high-spirited young people.
Liu Jian's sons have grown so big.
But no one could have imagined that things would turn out the way they are.
They have gone from being courtiers in the past to becoming princes who dominate one side today.
And each other shoulders the mission of the danger of the family and the country, and even once they fight, they will fight endlessly.
Sure enough, time has passed, and the vicissitudes of life have changed.
But now that the Yuan family wants to make adjustments, it is impossible.
It has to be brothers of the same clan.
This is a brother of the same clan, even closer than the father of the same clan!
In the end, Liu Jian asked Liu Zhang about Nanzhong.
Seeing this, Liu Jian couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
The crowd shouted for the lord and rushed forward.
As soon as he thought of this, Yuan Shu couldn't help but tremble, and it was no wonder that Yuan Shao would vomit blood in public, the evil consequences brought about were really terrifying.
But the premise of harming Yuan Shao is that he will help Yuan Tan in the future, and after seizing Yuan Shao's foundation, he will be Yuan Tan's right-hand man to take charge of the Yuan clan and fight against Liu Jian in the north and south.
In the end, he temporarily stationed his army in the south of Shu County, and he himself went to Chengdu under the guidance of Liu Jian's envoy and expressed his sincerity to Liu Jian.
Originally, he made an appointment with Liu Jian to flank Yuan Yi together, but he delayed for a long time before coming over, and everyone had already leveled the enemy.
In fact, Yuan Shu, under Yuan Shao's command, has always wanted to harm Yuan Shao.
"In the future, you and I will both serve the country together, no longer have selfish intentions, believe me, and the court will definitely live up to it."
Although Yuan Yi is not a qualified state pastor, he was born in a high-ranking family after all, and he naturally understands the words of Liu Jian.
Now that Yizhou is gone, the balance of strength of the two sides is completely tilted to Liu Jian's side.
The original Yuan Shao had Cao Cao, Yuan Yi, and elite generals like Sun Ce as assistants, and he sat in the southern half of the country and fought against Liu Jian.
Originally, the situation of the war with the north was already very unfavorable, but suddenly at this time, the news came that Yuan Yi had surrendered and the entire Yizhou had fallen into the hands of Liu Jian.
The army of the imperial court took Yizhou, and the world shook!
The morale of the North was greatly boosted, while the morale of the South was naturally declining, and the situation was becoming more and more serious for them.
Liu Zhang had no ambition in the first place, but now, Liu Jian made such a promise to him, of course he was happy.
"The sinner visits the prime minister, and asks the prime minister to give him the death penalty."
He asked Yuan to leave Yizhou, return to the Central Plains, and live the rest of his life in the position he could monitor.
Liu Jian was so good to himself, which really touched Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang immediately thanked Liu Jian for his kindness.
Now that he exerts his strength, Yuan Shu discovers that the power in the south and the north are actually very different.
I promise to make him rich for life, without any worries.
He didn't expect things to turn out like this.
Liu Jian promised him that after taking Yuan Shao, he would let Liu Zhang return to his former residence.
Think back then, Yuan Shao was a model in the world, how glorious it was.
Who would have thought that in just over a year, the situation has undergone earth-shaking changes.
After Yuan Shao learned the news, a mouthful of blood immediately spurted out and fell in front of his subordinates.
Liu Jian smiled and helped Yuan Yi up.
Seeing Liu Jian's enthusiasm for himself, Liu Zhang was very moved, and he was not embarrassed, he shed tears in front of Liu Jian, and at the same time explained to Liu Jian what he had suffered in Nanzhong over the years.
Liu Jian agreed to Liu Zhang's request, but he told Liu Zhang that this matter may need to be delayed for a while, after all, Jingzhou is not completely under his control now, and it is in the frontier of war and chaos, and it is irresponsible for his personal safety to let Liu Zhang go there now.
It's not that Liu Zhang came deliberately slowly, but because the distance from Nanzhong to Chengdu is limited by mountains and rivers, and the transit of grain is also very inconvenient.
Although Liu Zhang has no political talent or military ability, he is quite familiar with Nanzhong over the years.
Yuan Shu on the side also trembled in shock after hearing the news.
But now everything is out of Yuan Shu's previous plan.
Liu Jian expressed great sympathy for Liu Zhang's plight and expressed his willingness to let Liu Zhang return to the Central Plains.
He didn't help in any way, Liu Jian was willing to take the initiative to accept him, and he also promised to provide him with army food, Liu Zhang was very moved in his heart.
So I saw Yuan Yi hurriedly saluting Liu Jian and said: "Everything is in accordance with the Prime Minister's orders, what the Prime Minister asks me to do, then I will naturally do it in the future." ”
After meeting Liu Zhang, Liu Jian personally clasped his hands and was commensurate with brothers.
There was a major flaw in his plan.
And Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu will also lose the golden sign of the Yuan family's orthodoxy, and they will be completely branded as the rebellion of the Yuan family.
But for Yuan Shao in Jingzhou, the pressure has become incomparably greater.
Except for Liu Yan, he hadn't met such a sincere person for many years.
Therefore, Liu Zhang was delayed, when he was well prepared, and returned to Shu County after trekking through mountains and rivers, he found that the current Yizhou had been occupied by Liu Jian, and Chengdu had also been broken by him, and Yuan Yu surrendered.
"Shuzhong was also a frequent war, Ma Xiang and others rebelled one after another, resulting in a very difficult life for the people in Shuzhong, and since you unified Yizhou, you have also implemented a lot of benevolent policies, so that the people can live in peace and not suffer from displacement, in addition, I heard that you opened a bookstore in Yizhou like Qingzhou papermaking? Although the progress is not as fast as Qingzhou, it has also laid a foundation for us to make paper in the south...... There are many bamboos in Shu, and you use bamboo to make paper, but it is also a good idea, and for the country, you can be regarded as offsetting the merits and demerits. ”
Yuan Shu also began to panic, he didn't know how to deal with this matter.
Although he himself was very embarrassed, Liu Jian was very enthusiastic about him.
can only see the move, how Liu Jian beats him, how to accept the move.
In this case, Liu Zhang felt very embarrassed.
Does he want to go back to Chang'an to be an official, or does he want to go back to his hometown...... As long as he is willing, Liu Jian can arrange it for Liu Zhang.
Cao Cao in Jiangdong may not have felt so much pressure on Liu Jian's conquest of Jingzhou.
The base camp of the Yuan family in Runan has now been occupied by Liu Jian, and Yuan Pet also represents the will of the imperial court and has become the head of the Yuan family.
If Liu Jian wanted him to return to the Central Plains, then Liu Zhang was willing to hand over this army that was very familiar with the situation in Nanzhong into Liu Jian's hands, although the number was not large, but it was enough as the vanguard guide of the army.
"Although you have fought against the imperial court in Shuzhong all these years, when it comes to your heart, after all, it is because you have been bewitched by Yuan Shao, and I don't blame you for this."
In terms of generation, they are indeed brothers.
Liu Jian sent someone to Liu Zhang, telling him that he didn't have to care, let him lead his troops into Shu County as soon as possible, and he would also send someone to pick him up.
Among the only remaining people in the Yuan family, Yuan Yi's status can be described as beyond the ordinary.
"Why is Boye like this? As far as the court is concerned, although you have done it, there is no sin unto death. ”
If the south wants to form a situation of parity with the north, the comprehensive strength in all aspects must at least double.
If you want to send troops to this side from Nanzhong, you have to be well prepared.
Fortunately, this land of mountains and rivers in Yizhou is in charge of him, if it is replaced by Yuan Shao, this Yizhou wants to take it down, maybe it will be too troublesome.
At the same time, he also told Liu Jian that the people in his army had been investigating in Nanzhong over the years, communicating with the local tribes in Nanzhong, and also doing some business exchanges, so it can be said that he was very familiar with the situation in Nanzhong.
So he told Liu Jian that he longed to return to his hometown in Jingzhou to live in peace, and hoped that Liu Jian would be successful.
When Yuan Yi heard this, he hurriedly thanked him.
The premise is that Yuan's power is still consolidated and can form a level with Liu Jian.
Compared with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers, Yuan Yi is really well-behaved.
Liu Zhang provided Liu Jian with such a precious army, and Liu Jian was very happy.
Moreover, the surrender of Yuan Yi also illustrates another problem on the side, that is, the Yuan family has now begun to fall into the hands of Liu Jian.
They are no longer just rebellions of the court, but also rebellions of the family.
Don't you think it's a mess at this time?
Liu Zhang felt that it was neither advance nor retreat at the moment.
……
In this way, Yuan Chong, who has been assisted by Yuan Zhi, is bound to suppress Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu in prestige and name.
Now that Yuan Yi has surrendered, Liu Jian is bound to let Yuan Yi assist Yuan Pet to carry out a deep transformation of the Yuan family.
Liu Jian continued: "Boye, you are from the Central Plains, living in Shu for such a long time, you must be a little unaccustomed to the soil and water, right? ”
Yuan Shu felt that even if Yuan Shao couldn't win the imperial army, it would be no problem to stand tall with the imperial court.
Yuan Yi cried and cried towards Liu Jian.
If he is an auxiliary Yuan Pet, plus Yuan Pet is originally Yuan Ji's son...... No one can question Yuan Pet anymore.
Soon after Yuan surrendered, Liu Zhang also led his troops to Chengdu.
"Today, Yizhou has been re-managed by the imperial court, and your responsibilities have been relieved, you should go back to the Central Plains to do something that is beneficial to the imperial court and the world."
Of course, he also wanted Yuan Yi to help Yuan Pet within the scope of his ability and stabilize the Yuan clan in Runan.
Liu Jian either didn't exert his strength, pretending as if the strength of the two sides was equal.
Things weren't what he thought they were, they were so much worse.
Militarily, now Yuan Shao fought against Zhao Yun in Xiangyang.
But at this moment, he can't help it, he is not a particularly wise person, to be able to do it today, to be honest, it is not easy, it is an extraordinary performance.
This is also a matter of no choice, Liu Jian has made sufficient preparations, and it is like Mount Tai pressing to the south, how can the current Yuan family have the spare strength to reorganize the interior.
The army of Zhao Yun, Yan Liang and others is aggressive, and has already shrunk Yuan Shao's military horses, Xiangyang City can now be said to be in danger, Yuan Shao has already given up Xiangyang, and is ready to move his soldiers and horses to Jiangling at any time.
He immediately assured Liu Zhang that he was willing to give Liu Zhang the title of marquis, as long as Liu Zhang chose the place he liked first, and all other matters would be handled by himself.
Make sure he eats enough.
Liu Jian's words are still very clear.
As for where to return to the Central Plains, it is all up to Liu Zhang's own willingness.
But over the years, he has been picked up by Liu Jian layer by skin, until he became an unscrupulous descendant of the Yuan family!
What if he doesn't vomit blood?
He should have vomited bile! Vomiting blood is light!
Liu Deran, ten years of sharpening his sword, is too vicious!
