"What?"

"My father has always been in good health, why did he suddenly become seriously ill?"

When Liu Fan heard the news that Liu Yan was seriously ill, his face suddenly changed drastically.

This is exactly the time when the house leak happened to rain overnight, and if he was still hesitant to withdraw his troops before, this news made him confirm this.

The war is not going well, and there is a sudden change in the rear, and one is not handled carelessly, not to mention quelling the rebellion, and it is also in danger of overturning.

Moreover, if he withdraws the army in the name of his father, the people of the world will only say that he is filial, not defeated and retreated.

After looking left and right for a few times, the person who reported the news saw that there were only Zhang Ren and Xu Shu in the tent, so he lowered his voice and said: "According to Huang's investigation, the lord's illness is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. ”

Liu Fan stood up suddenly: "What do you mean ......?"

"There is a subordinate in the palace who poisoned the lord, although that person has been caught, but he has committed suicide before he can be interrogated."

"Bastard, you use such a subordinate method!" Zhang Ren was furious when he heard this, and at the same time secretly thought about the identity of the master's envoy.

Liu Bei, Liu Zhang, Jia Long...... One by one, these people flashed through their minds.

He hoped that it wasn't Liu Zhang, otherwise this "third son" would be too mad, that is his biological father.

Liu Fan was also furious and directly kicked the table over.

"Who used this dirty method, when I find out, I will definitely cut it with a thousand knives."

Xu Shu also showed a shocked look, but he actually had the answer in his heart. Can infiltrate the state pastoral mansion here, who else can it be besides Jinyiwei?

That Guo Fengxiao seems to have the ability to predict the future, and he has already begun to lay out the Yellow Turban Rebellion, otherwise he would not be able to penetrate the people close to Liu Yan.

Who would have thought that a person who has been with him for a few years would be someone else's meticulous work?

Although he did not participate in this plan, from the perspective of interests, Liu Yan's death is in his own interests, because it means that Yizhou will fall into greater turmoil.

"What happened to my father's health? What do doctors say? Liu Fan asked again.

The person who reported the news hesitated for a moment, and said with a solemn face: "The poison has entered the five internal organs, and there is no power to return to the sky, I am afraid that it can only support it for a few more months." ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he immediately said: "My lord, I suggest that you withdraw from the army immediately, and stabilize the situation in the rear first, so as not to be taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives." ”

Zhang Ren also agreed: "The last general seconded the proposal." ”

Both of them knew very well in their hearts that if Liu Yan really couldn't hold on, the person who took the throne must be Liu Fan. Liu Yan handed over more than 100,000 Dongzhou troops to him to take charge, which was the embodiment of his attitude.

"Are you worried that the second brother will fight with me?" Liu Fan vaguely heard the meaning of the two of them.

Xu Shu Zhengse said: "The heart of defense is indispensable. ”

Liu Fan didn't listen to him this time, or he believed in the feelings of the two brothers.

"The second brother is different from the third brother, he was brought up by me, and I believe in him."

The two looked at each other speechlessly.

Liu Dan did not live up to Liu Fan's trust.

……

"Who are you?"

Chengdu, in the palace, Liu Dan looked at the uninvited guests in front of him with interest. Liu Yan suddenly became "seriously ill", Liu Fan was fighting abroad, and the military and political power of Yizhou was temporarily handed over to him.

The people who visited today did not have high positions within the Yizhou Group, but they all held military power, and when Liu Yan was seriously ill, their intentions seemed to be about to come out.

It's just that Liu Dan is a little puzzled, he has blocked the news for the first time, how did these people know about it?

Did he guess wrong?

It's just that...... With the positions of these people, it should not have been under his direct jurisdiction, so he would have this guess.

Hearing this, one of them replied: "Second son, now that the situation in Yizhou has changed abruptly, you should prepare as soon as possible." ”

"Oh? How to prepare? ”

"The second son is also the son-in-law of the lord, and the position of Yizhou pastor can also be contested." Another said.

Liu Dan fell into silence when he heard this, like a contemplation after his intention.

After a while, he sighed: "It's just that the army of Shuzhong is in the hands of the eldest brother, how can I fight?" ”

"The second son's words are wrong, with the money and food population of Yizhou, why is it difficult to recruit another 100,000 male soldiers?" The first to speak spoke again, and he seemed to be the backbone of these people.

Liu Dan sneered in his heart when he heard this, if he was really bewitched by these people, Yizhou would probably be further divided.

His face pretended to be ambitious, and his fists slowly clenched.

"Are you really going to support me?"

Everyone was overjoyed: "I hope that only the son and the horse will be the head." ”

"Okay, with the troops I control now, if you add the soldiers and horses in your hands, as long as you are surprised, you will definitely be able to take Chengdu, and then further spread the word to the counties."

"Wait for you to go back to the armament battle as soon as possible, and wait for my order."

"Childe is wise."

These people thought that they had easily moved Liu Dan, but they didn't know that there was already murderous intent in their hearts.

After everyone left, Liu Dan quickly summoned his cronies.

"Immediately bring down all those who have come to the door today, and torture them severely, and you will surely ask who the Lord's envoy is."

"Whoa!"

That night, Liu Dan hurried to see Liu Yan, but saw Huang Quan by his side, and the two seemed to have just said something.

He stepped forward and asked, "Is my father better today?" ”

Liu Yan was leaning on the head of the bed at this time, his face was very pale, and his mood was a little complicated: "Zizheng, you tell your father honestly, do you have the heart to fight with your brother?" ”

He had already accepted his fate at this time, Liu Bei had laid out for so many years, and the fine work of Jinyi Wei was pervasive, like a poisonous snake hibernating, and it was fatal with one blow.

Now my only wish is not to see the three sons kill each other.

"Looks like my father already knows." Liu Dan glanced at Huang Quan, and his heart was already sudden.

Naturally, he will not hate Huang Quan because of this, and the other party is where his duty lies.

Huang Quan's face was calm, although he didn't think that Liu Dan had the intention of rebellion, but he suddenly arrested a few captains with important positions, which must be reported.

No matter what the future holds, Liu Yan is now the lord of Yizhou.

Liu Dan was silent for a moment, and then said: "If I say no, my father is credible?" ”

"Believe for the Father." Liu Yan said without thinking: "You and your eldest brother have always had a deep relationship, how can you be opposed to him...... Ahem. ”

Now he struggles to even speak, like an oil lamp that is about to dry up, about to burn out the last afterglow.

"Father just wonders, why did you capture these people?"

"Because they have been bought, intending to trick the child into fighting with the eldest brother."

When Liu Yan heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy: "Have you ever asked the mastermind behind the scenes?" ”

"Asked."

"Who?"

"Liu Bei, Jinyiwei."

Because those people were not born in Jinyiwei, but were bought with a lot of money, they naturally couldn't treat death as home, and they were easily pried open.

"It's him again! What a brocade night walk. When Liu Yan heard this answer, his face became more and more ugly. If Liu Bei succeeds, Yizhou will be completely divided and there will be no more resistance.
