Liu Chan's ambition is actually not big.

He just wants to live happily, no one rides on his head to and pee, the money is enough, and his mother lives a long life.

A few more...... Or a dozen confidantes.

I will be the emperor in the future, and a dozen of them should not be too much...... Right?

He just didn't want to be an ornament, a puppet to be manipulated, regardless of whether the person carrying the string had feelings for him or hate.

But at the same time, Liu Chan's ambition is also very big, or it has to be big.

Since he has been involved in the torrent of the times of the Three Kingdoms and has become Liu Chan again, he is destined to be an idle cloud and wild crane if he doesn't want to be controlled.

However, the current situation is difficult to achieve his goal.

Needless to say, Cao Weihu is located in the north, the thirteen states in the world, monopolizing nine of them, if he remembers correctly, he will even reopen the Silk Road next year.

Even if Cao Wei had many internal problems, his ability to fight a protracted war was not comparable to that of Ji Han, who only occupied Yizhou.

Dongwu, the superficial brother, is ready to backstab at any time, and the Sun-Liu alliance is about to exist in name only.

Even internally, Ji Han will soon turn into a mess.

Tianshi is about to leave the Liu family, if history continues the original trajectory, not to mention the old cadres who died, even the reserve of young cadres will be squandered by Lao Liu.

Even with a big fire, there won't be many soldiers left in Yizhou.

Yizhou is tired, and the four words have exhausted the difficulties at that time.

And his own territory is not big, and there are a lot of things.

When I was chasing dramas in the past, I only felt that Ji Han before the defeat was united and united, and there was no factional struggle or anything.

It's all to blame for Liu Adou's crotch pulling.

But now that I have experienced it, I know that the situation is far from that simple.

Lao Liu's hardcore old ministry and Jingzhou faction.

Liu Yan and Liu Zhang brought it into Xichuan, and the Dongzhou faction headed by Fa Zheng.

There is also the Xichuan indigenous who has been suppressed since Liu Yan entered Sichuan-Yizhou faction.

and ethnic minorities in the southern region.

It seems to be calm at the moment, and that is because of Liu Yan's suppression back then, and the absolute right to speak brought by his father Liu Bei's current strength.

Now the senior officials of the Lao Liu Group are all Jingzhou faction and Dongzhou faction.

The Yizhou clan didn't dare to say it, how could they have no ideas in their hearts?

Even the Jingzhou faction and the Dongzhou faction are not monolithic.

In such a chaotic and severe situation, if he Liu Chan behaved very stiffly......

Even if the prime minister of Wumiao Shizhe Zhuge has been proven by history to have no intention of usurping the throne, he has done his best for Liu Jiasheji, and he has died.

Even if he has been with himself for more than ten years, if he is a master and apprentice, he is more affectionate than father and son, and his favorability of up to 65 is the best proof.

For the sake of Lao Liu's unattained ideals, the other party may still choose to make himself a mascot - he will never be wronged at all, and will be strictly protected and worshipped...... Mascot.

"Report to the major general, 20 miles ahead is the county seat of Nan'an."

When they are free to play, when they have a task, these soldiers immediately become strictly disciplined.

Although there is still a big gap with the strongest army in later generations, Liu Chan, who intends to build them in that direction, is still very satisfied with the results of the past few years.

"Okay, Li Er......" Liu Chan glanced at Hu Li, who was leading his horse again, "Hu Li, you two will enter the city with me, and the rest of the people will stay ten miles away from the city and set up camp and go down to the village, and they must not disturb the people." ”

"Yes!"

As for Lao Luo and his Bai Yu personal guards, they don't need to be specially ordered, and they will naturally follow him inch by inch.

Liu Chan has fulfilled the agreement, I don't know if the attitude of the top spot in Nan'an County will change when they meet for the second time?

……

Nan'an County is not big, and the rammed earth city wall is only two meters, so you can easily climb into it when you are an idle man.

It's not bustling or productive, it's an inconspicuous place.

It is no wonder that Hu Li ransacked this place two years ago with only more than 200 bandits.

However, the county government stands out in the center of the county, in stark contrast to other buildings.

In the back room of the county government, a middle-aged man in a Chinese costume with a mustache sat idly on a couch, holding a few letters written on white silk cloth in his hands.

Those who can write letters in silk cloth want to come to the family with a lot of money.

In this era when cloth can be used as money, it is no different from writing letters with it and writing words on soft sister coins in later generations.

Large counties are called county orders, and small counties are county magistrates.

The person on the couch is the parent official of Nan'an County, County Magistrate Zhang.

In front of the couch, a servant stood with his hands bowed.

At this time, a male voice outside the door came to report: "My lord, the son of the Liu family has arrived, and he is in the front hall at this time." ”

"Hmm." County Magistrate Zhang was not surprised by the news, and read the letter without changing his posture.

After putting it down, it seemed that it was inappropriate, so I carefully folded it and put it in my sleeve.

"When you go back and inform the head of the family, you will say that this matter is very important, and I will discuss it when I return to Wuyang County at a later date."

"Yes."

After the unhurried arrangement, the county magistrate said loudly: "You are good at entertaining, and the official will come later." ”

……

Liu Chan sat cross-legged on the high couch in the hall and took a leisurely sip of tea soup.

This sitting posture is not in accordance with the etiquette, but it is very comfortable, and Liu Dagongzi never sits on his knees except in front of Zhuge Liang, Lao Liu and his mother.

This is also one of the rumors about him outside, but apparently Liu Gongzi doesn't care.

"This tea is really unpalatable...... Liu Chan frowned, muttered and put the tea soup back on the low table, and quickly pinched a few green dates and stuffed them into his mouth.

As soon as the tea soup is eaten, in addition to the bitterness, there is a strong smell of green onion and ginger and oily, saying that it is tea, and it is not more difficult to drink than this if you want to brush the water.

It's really strange for people in the Three Kingdoms to make tea, how can anyone love to drink this kind of thing.

"Ah, the son has returned, and the official has lost his welcome. If it's not thoughtful, I hope the son won't blame it, haha. The smiling Lord Zhang walked briskly and came over.

The words are very polite, the etiquette is in place, and I can't find anything wrong.

For the second generation who has no official position, the county magistrate's behavior is enough to save face.

But...... That's all.

There is no closeness or awe in the templated response posture.

If he really planned to welcome him from afar, he would know it as soon as he entered the city, and how could he sit for so long before coming out.

Of course, as a member of the Zhang family in Wuyang County, Qianwei County, he is a descendant of Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Liuwencheng, the founder of the Han Dynasty.

He also has the capital to do so.

Liu Chan said with a smile: "Where is it, Lord Zhang has a lot of official business, and it is rare to be able to take the time to see each other, how dare I blame it." ”

That being said, he still sat there cross-legged, not standing up.

County Magistrate Zhang still smiled very gracefully, as if he didn't see it, and walked over and sat on the other side.

"I don't know if Gongzi is here to borrow food or soldiers?" After the county magistrate Zhang asked, he said arrogantly without waiting for Liu Chan to answer, "The prince came from afar to suppress bandits in the county and relieve the difficulties of the people.

"The Emei Mountain thieves have been entrenched for a long time, and they are familiar with the terrain and occupy the geographical advantage, so the son's crusade is not really a crime of war. I will recuperate in this county for a while, and I will regroup in the next day, and I will definitely be able to break it in a war, ah? Ha ha. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, County Magistrate Zhang changed his sad face again: "Gongzi also knows that in recent years, there has been endless conquest. Now that the cold winter has just passed, Nan'an Xiaoxian County has a shortage of grain and soldiers, otherwise it would not have been attacked and plundered by the bandits......

"But don't worry, the official is selling private property and domestic slaves, recruiting people for the son, and he will definitely help and never break his word!"

Liu Chan didn't speak, just smiled and watched County Magistrate Zhang's performance.

What he said was actually quite sincere and beautiful, coupled with rich expressions and body movements.

If it weren't for Liu Chan growing up under the teaching of Uncle Zhuge since he was a child, maybe he really thought that this Master Zhang was loyal to his old Liu family and was a loyal and righteous figure.

No matter how beautifully the words are, there is actually only one central idea.

Eat deflated, right? The last time I came, I was so able to blow, and I was going into the mountains with 500 people to suppress bandits, I advise you not to listen, now it's not awesome?

Correct your attitude, I, Lord Zhang, look at the face of General Liu Bei, and naturally I will help you.

I'm afraid this is what County Magistrate Zhang wants to express under the table.

Even Liu Chan felt that there might be a layer of extension - Yizhou is the Yizhou of Yizhou people, and your old Liu family lacks the support of our Yizhou family...... No way!

Liu Chan replied with a smile that was more sincere than that of County Magistrate Zhang, and waved his hand and said: "Hu~ Emei mountain thief, why do you want Lord Zhang to break the fortune and help him?" ”

After that, he pointed to Hu Li standing next to him.

"This is the leader of the Emei Mountain thieves, who has now led the people to surrender, together with my troops, a total of more than 1,000 people, at this time set up camp ten miles outside the city.

"Master Zhang only needs to provide us with the food, grass, clothing, etc. needed for the journey according to the agreement. Soon we set off for Chengdu. ”

When Master Zhang heard this, he had always done a good job of expression management, and finally became stiff at this time......
