"You mean, Li Yan secretly hid so much grain and Xuanjia in Ji County in order to overthrow the Prime Minister's Mansion by force?"

Listening to the revelation of the general sent by Li Yan to Ji County, Ma Yan's face suddenly became ugly.

At first, he thought that Li Yan's purpose was simply to be greedy, and he planned to embezzle grain and straw and then resell it. However, when this general's confession came out, Ma Jian realized that he was very wrong!

Li Yan's purpose was never for that money, and he planned to launch a coup d'état by force!

Li Yan's ability is outstanding, which is an undeniable fact.

At that time, thieves Ma Qin and Gao Sheng raised troops in Yuxian County and recruited tens of thousands of troops to rebel. It was Li Yanqin who led 5,000 soldiers and horses to raid and defeat the rebellious bandits in just a few days.

Because of this, Liu Bei also listed Li Yan as the minister of Tuogu before his death, and assisted Liu Chan together with Zhuge Liang.

His ability is indeed first-class, and it can be seen from the fact that he came to Longyou to be greedy for ink but did not have much impact, it can be seen how good his level is.

Ordinary corrupt officials in such a poor place can't squeeze a few taels of oil to make people angry.

In addition, Li Yan also advocated the implementation of the Juntian Law, which made many Longyou Qiantou have a high evaluation of him.

Therefore, Ma Yan's idea is only to recover the grain and straw that was embezzled by Li Yan, and then it will be over. Wait for Li Yan to come back and retaliate casually, as long as it doesn't affect my Tuntian Anmin, you are free.

But now the situation has changed, and obviously what Li Yan has done is a little out of line!

Ma Jian suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, this is not a simple corruption.

In fact, Ma Yan should have thought about it a long time ago, you must know that Chen Zhen, Li Yan's hometown in history, commented that Li Yan "has scales and armor in his belly", and warned Zhuge Liang that Li Yan could have a military coup at any time.

It was when Li Yan was only supervising the military affairs of Jiangzhou and did not have much power in his hands, and Chen Zhen said that Li Yan might have a coup d'état. And now, Li Yan has 20,000 troops and supervises the affairs of the five counties on the right side of Longlong.

Although there are Wu Yi, Wei Yan, Yang Yi and others who are modest, the restrictions are limited, and they are all monitored by Li Yan. If Li Yan wants to overthrow the Prime Minister's Mansion in a coup d'état, relying on these three people may not be able to restrain his movements!

Prime Minister, Prime Minister, what kind of monster are you unleashing!

"How does Li Yan plan to overthrow the Prime Minister's Mansion in a coup d'état? With his headquarters of less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, he can't get to Hanzhong by taking the Qishan Road, and it is estimated that he will be known by the prime minister. ”

"There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Shuzhong, how can Li Yan fight against the prime minister with his own strength?" Ma Yan's face was solemn, and he grabbed the collar of this general, and asked coldly.

It was hard for Ma Yan to believe that Li Yan had the guts, you must know that this is Longyou, not Shuzhong. The prime minister's prestige in Shu is so high, and he wants a coup d'état by secretly hiding some armor soldiers and grain?

Li Yan can't be so stupid, right?

The envoy just said that if he could get the hearts of the people of Longyou, he would have the ability to ask the prime minister for the position of the third duke. At that time, once the prime minister sends someone to replace him, he will do it in Hanzhong. The general waved his hand again and again to explain, for fear that Ma Jian would misunderstand.

"But I don't know the specific situation, and it is impossible for a minor official to understand it in such detail."

Although he is Li Yan's confidant, he is just a petty official. Li Yan would definitely not reveal so many details of the coup d'état to him, only a few of Li Yan's cronies would know.

Even if he did, he knew that Li Yan was hiding grain and armor soldiers in order to overthrow Zhuge Liang.

"Grain and Xuanjia, where is Li Yan hiding?" Ma Tan narrowed his eyes, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he asked through gritted teeth.

"They are all hidden in the manor of the great clan of Ji County, and they are hidden in the name of the great clan." The general replied hurriedly,

Li Envoy ...... Li Yan said that he was the minister of the Great Han Tuogu, and he was also an important minister of the Great Han Dynasty with Zhuge Liang. Now that Zhuge Liang has all the power to fight against dissidents, he has long been dissatisfied. ”

"He promised that if the Ji County clan supported him and gave him the ability to succeed in the coup, his family's filial piety and honesty would be able to make a name for himself in his mansion......"

After listening to this explanation, Ma Jian quickly understood something.

Zhuge Liang has a steady personality, puts the interests of the country first in everything he does, and does not like to go to extremes. If Li Yan can successfully hold Longyou and implement the Juntian Law to gain prestige, there is a high probability that the Prime Minister of the Three Princes will not refuse.

If Li Yan is appointed as the third duke, someone must lead soldiers and horses to replace Longyou. If Li Yan saw the right time, he suddenly made trouble in Hanzhong......

Although Li Yan has declined over the years, his prestige still exists. If he really let him do it, he will easily trigger a civil war under the response of the Dongzhou faction.

"! Li Yan is really bold enough! Ma Jian gasped, and his face became extremely ugly.

Who would have thought that a assassin who was arranged by the prime minister to guard Longyou began to think about how to overthrow the prime minister from the first day he took office.

Li Yan has scale armor on his abdomen, this evaluation is really correct, Chen Zhen is really accurate in seeing people.

"General, after I have finished telling everything I know, I am just being coerced and not an accomplice!" After this general finished speaking, he continued to beg for mercy from Ma Tan or the imaginary prime minister.

Even if he participated in the coup preparations, he didn't report it, but isn't it that there hasn't been a coup yet. The main culprit must die, but we, the accomplices, can we open the net?

"I'm not responsible for your execution, so tell the prime minister myself later." Ma Jian shook his head, feeling that the pressure was coming up all of a sudden.

I wanted to catch a corrupt official, but I didn't expect to stab the anti-thief's nest.

"But if you cooperate with us and find out all the grains and armor that Li Yan hid, I can't think about it......"

"The general said how to cooperate with so-and-so, and so-and-so has no other words!" The general was overjoyed and hurriedly replied.

"I know all the locations of the Xuanjia where Li Yan is hiding, and I promise to lead the way for the general!"

Hearing this, Ma Jian was silent for a moment and swallowed the second half of the words "Let you die happily".

There is a windfall, so let's wait and talk about it.

I have to say that Li Yan is not only bold, but also has a big heart. The location of the Xuanjia grain is basically known to the henchmen, and it is hidden on the territory of the local clan.

It can be said that these big clans are playing with fire with Li Yan!

Soon, Ma Jian led people to directly raid the granges of several large clans outside the city.

When the Shu army rushed in, the private soldiers of the family clan jumped out and tried to resist. Although it was meaningless in front of Ma Tan's hundred battle soldiers, Ma Tan's face was still solemn.

In this era, it was too common for large clans to have private soldiers, and any big clan had dozens or hundreds of private soldiers in their hands.

In such a small grange, there are more than a dozen well-equipped private soldiers. This situation has a huge impact on social security, and it is easy to lead to unstable grassroots foundations.

It seems that the Chinese law is not perfect enough!

After killing the private soldiers, the Shu army broke into the grange and quickly found the hidden grain and armor! And there is more than one collar, just one Grange Ma Jian has found more than 20 collar Xuanjia!
