Chapter 254: Doomed Zhang Wen...... Is it?
This was the first time Liu Chan saw Zhang Wen, and he saw a middle-aged man with a personable and handsome appearance calmly walking into the hall.
"Yilang Zhang Wen and Zhang Huishu have seen the king of Hanzhong." The man bowed his hand and bowed thoughtfully.
Liu Bei's expression was slightly cold, and he said, "Zhang Yilang came from afar, and please take a seat." The widow has ordered someone to prepare a banquet to wash the dust for the wind and dust under his feet. β
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Wen looked up at Liu Chan again, "This must be the crown prince?" β
"Exactly." Liu Chan looked at this person and nodded in response.
Zhang Wen arched his hand and said: "I have long heard that the prince of Hanzhong is both wise and brave, and the young talent, and it is a blessing to see it today." β
"Zhang Yilang has won the award."
Liu Bei introduced, Zhang Wen greeted the ministers again, and then sat down according to his words.
After a while, waiters came in with large and small bowls and plates, exquisite pastries, seasonal fruits and vegetables, fragrant meat, fatty river freshness, fine wines, and ......
The glamorous dancing queen followed, and the sound of silk and bamboo rose, dancing, although it was not enough to save energy, but it was also refreshing.
During the banquet, Zhang Wen toasted first, and pushed the cup and changed the cup with the monarchs and ministers of Shuzhong without losing his demeanor.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
"I have heard for a long time that the products in Shu are abundant and beautiful, and the people are outstanding, and today I know that what I said is true." Zhang Wen looked at the wine and food in front of him, the beautiful woman Yale, and looked around at the virtuous ministers and good generals and exclaimed.
Liu Bei said politely: "Jiangdong has always been rich, and there are many outstanding people under the account, and Zhang Yilang has a good reputation. β
But it's still the same not salty and not light, and the attitude is unknown.
Sun Quan's sneak attack on Jingzhou was too inauthentic, and he almost killed his second brother and son, and he still had a pimple in his heart.
Before Lao Liu was a monarch, he even considered himself a brother.
When it comes to the safety of brothers, it is often difficult to control themselves.
Zhang Wen smiled on his face, but sighed secretly in his heart, now that there are many good generals and the people are tired, it is not as good as before.
It's just that this idea of exposing the hole cards is naturally impossible to reveal.
After saying that, Liu Bei waved his hand, and the dancing girls retreated one after another.
"Zhang Yilang came from afar, I don't know why?"
Zhang Wen's expression was straight, and he replied: "I came here for the repair of my grandson and Liu's family." β
"Humph! If it weren't for the sneak attack of your lord's betrayal of the alliance, the two would have been on good terms. What other faces have come to see the king today! A loud voice suddenly raised at this time.
Zhang Wen felt embarrassed for a while, he knew that someone would mention this, but there was nothing to argue with in this matter...... He followed the prestige, and spoke as an angular man.
"Unknown foot?" Zhang Wen was not angry, and said in harmony.
Huang Quan hugged his fists: "In the lower Huang Quan Huang Gongheng, he is engaged in the governance of Yizhou." β
Whether it is Liu Bei, or Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and other high-ranking officials, they are all cold-eyed bystanders.
Liu Chan naturally didn't speak, and like Lao Liu, he neither helped nor stopped, eating and drinking by himself, as if he hadn't heard.
He knew in his heart that Dongwu wanted to talk about it, and the matter of Jingzhou naturally couldn't be bypassed, and this matter had to be mentioned.
At the beginning of the alliance, your master played such a hand, and now you want to rebuild the old good without giving an explanation, how can it be so simple, in case you sneak attack again?
But these words can't come out of his or Lao Liu's mouth, otherwise there will be no way out if the face is too stiff.
Huang Quan naturally understood that it was only when he took the initiative to sing this white face.
Zhang Wen knew that the matter of Jingzhou was indefensible, and he did not want to dwell on this matter, so he only said: "The prince has negotiated with my lord on behalf of the king of Hanzhong, and Jiangdong has also ceded land and paid compensation."
"Now that the enemy is present, all parts of the north are falsely reporting auspiciousness, and they are afraid of wanting to represent the Han, if the two families fight again, it is really unwise."
He avoided the cause of the incident and only talked about the effect, but he couldn't say the cause, and the more he talked about it, the more passive he became.
Huang Quan sneered: "Hmph, how could he not be the enemy at the beginning?" If your lord takes advantage of the Northern Expedition and takes Hefei, it is unknown whether my two families will cooperate at that time, or Cao Wei will be forced to move the capital!
"Cao Wei's rivers and mountains are unstable, people's minds have changed, how can he Cao Pi have the courage to represent the Han? Xiangfan and Hefei are all in the hands of our two families, and there is a lot to be done, how can the situation be the same as today? ! β
"This ......" Zhang Wen couldn't say it, he hadn't said these words thousands of times in his heart, but he couldn't help it.
Zhuge Liang saw that Zhang Wen should not be acting on purpose, and immediately smiled: "Huh~ Gongheng, even if Zhang Yilang has the intention to do this, how can he act on behalf of his master, you don't have to embarrass him anymore." β
Zhang Wen took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and saluted Zhuge Liang, moved by his move to relieve the siege.
Liu Chan said lightly at this time: "Dare to ask sir, if you really have the heart to repair, should you stop hostile behavior?" β
Zhang Wen nodded and said, "That's nature." β
"Shouldn't there be any more conspiracies behind the scenes to stir up internal chaos on the other side?" Liu Chan said and stood up.
At this time, Zhang Wen heard that Liu Chan had something to say, which meant something.
But this matter can only pretend to be confused, and it cannot be admitted even if it is killed, and once it is admitted, the nature of the problem will change.
"That'sβthat's nature." Zhang Wen's sweat came down again.
Liu Chan put his hands behind his back and slowly paced in front of Zhang Wen: "Shouldn't you help the rebel forces and intend to kill people with a knife?" β
Zhang Wen looked up at the young man, only to feel that the pressure increased suddenly, and he didn't dare to move: "Yes......"
Liu Chan took out a letter, bent down and patted it on the case in front of Zhang Wen, and sneered: "Can Zhang Yilang explain to Lone, what does this letter mean?" β
Zhang Wen picked it up and saw that it was Sun Quan's reply to Yonghong, in which he promised to be Yongchang Taishou.
He was already sweating like rain, but he still stubbornly said: "Ah, this matter is a misunderstanding by the prince." Na Yonghong said that he wanted to belong to the court, and the lord, as a loyal minister of the court, felt that it was a good thing for the Nanban to be attached, so he agreed.
"Yongchang County has not been guarded for a long time, Yonghong is in Nanzhong, and the other party wants to be attached to it just to appease it, making it the border of Yongzhen of the imperial court......"
Speaking of this, Zhang Wen's face turned pale, and he said with a cold face: "How do you know that its attachment is fake, and it is true that he intends to rebel in the name of my Eastern Wu!" This is a plan to lead the water to the east, and its heart can be punished! The prince must not fall for this trick! β
Liu Chan wanted to laugh a little, but he also had two points of change in his opinion of this Zhang Wen, you can really be round, this can be round.
Zhang Wen said, knowing that he couldn't be passive anymore, he got up a few steps forward, bowed to Liu Bei and said:
"The king's benevolence is widely distributed, the world is respected, the virtuous ministers are auxiliary to the government, the stars are bright, and they are admired from far and near, and they want to be with the Kuang Han room. Our lord, General Sun, is dedicated to stabilizing Jiangnan for the imperial court, hoping to support the Han family with the king, and conspire with the same rules and regulations, just like the river without hesitation.
"It's just because Cao Wei is powerful and Jiangdong has few soldiers, so it's just a matter of forbearance, so now Wen Tong is good. King Chongli should not be ashamed of this and ignore the benefits of Sun Liu's repair.
"Wen came all the way to the west, and was frequently received with special gifts, Wen Shourong was frightened, and deeply felt the king's benevolence and mind, and hoped that the king would focus on the overall situation, and not let the thieves benefit!"
Although there are also quibbles, the willingness of the Sun and Liu families to resist Cao together can be heard sincerely.
Liu Bei couldn't help but be moved, Cao Pi's series of actions were obviously intended to usurp the throne, and it was estimated that it was very close, if the relationship between them could be eased, it would not be a bad thing.
Liu Chan saw what his father meant, but after reading the script, he knew that this person couldn't be Sun Quan's master at all, and it was not appropriate to agree to anything at this time.
Lao Liu caught a glimpse of his son's eyes on him, and he also reacted, and said lightly: "The widow believes in your sincerity, but the Sun and Liu families have today, because they are not widowed." β
Zhang Wen bowed to the ground and said solemnly: "Wen will return to Jiangdong this time, and he will try his best to persuade my lord to rebuild Sun Liu, help each other, and help the Han family together!" β
Zhuge Liang smiled at this time: "In this way, Mr. Lao will spend more time talking about the benefits and disadvantages for General Sun, and don't do unwise things again." β
"Wen Zidang did his best to make this happen."
Zhang Wen is telling the truth, he really thinks that there is no future for subordinating to Cao Wei, Shu Dao is difficult to attack, and Cao Wei will not take his life to fill it.
can only force him to cut down Shu from the waterway in Jiangdong, but with what he saw this time, how can Bashu be so easy to fight?
In the end, Sun Liu had water and Lu Tianyan, but he killed each other and lost both, so that Cao Wei benefited.
Liu Chan also believed that he was telling the truth, but as long as history did not change, this person was doomed to fail.
What's more, Sun Quan still owes himself an explanation for the matter of Nanzhong, but it is not just a matter of fooling the past with two sentences.
It's just that...... Is there still a lot of change in history?
