Liu Yan is an ambitious person.

In history, he saw that the world was going to be in chaos and planned to seek the governor of Jiaozhou as his own protection. Then he heard that Yizhou had the "spirit of the emperor", so he kept a ill-hearted intention and asked the court to be the governor of Yizhou.

After taking office, Liu Yan worked hard to govern. After his status was stable, he began to make the emperor's carriage, attempting to become emperor.

Although some things have changed in this time and space, there has not been much change in overall.

Liu Yan was ambitious, but he had a weakness and loved his son very much.

"What should I do?" Liu Yan exhaled, raised his head and asked Zheng Du, and Pang Xi said.

Zheng Du thought for a while before saying, "Lord. Since the lord has just told Cai Mao that last year, Bashu had a severe drought and there was insufficient food, he symbolically gave Zhang Xiu five thousand stones (600,000 jin) of grain, and gave gold and silver as military supplies."

"Zhang Xiu was short of food, not money. He could not buy food even if he gave him gold, and silver. But we have shown sincerity. Zhang Xiu would definitely not kill the young master."

Liu Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this and nodded with satisfaction. "Okay, let's do this."

This is the end of how to deal with Zhang Xiu. Afterwards, Liu Yan discussed with the two of them how to give Ma Teng and Han Sui support.

Zheng Du said: "We give Ma Teng 50,000 stones of grain, 10,000 good cowhide, and 100,000 arrows. But we can't give it in vain. We can exchange some war horses for Ma Teng. Yizhou is short of horses."

Liu Yan was even more satisfied, okay, that's it.

Zhang Xiu is not short of money, so let’s pay it.

If you give the money, don't hit me.

Ma Teng lacks food, so we give it food, cowhide, and arrows. You have to give us war horses. By the way, fight Zhang Xiu to the death, and it is best to lose both sides.

Yizhou Deli.

"Just act according to the plan." Liu Yan nodded happily and said to the two of them.

"promise."

Zheng Du and Pang Xi agreed and immediately went down to do things. However, neither the king nor the ministers noticed that their judgment on the war had gradually deviated.

Although Liu Yan sent Gan Ning to lead 5,000 people to support Hanzhong and strengthened Hanzhong's defense, there was no further measure.

They gradually relaxed.

As the saying goes, there is no trouble for the two masters. After some preparation, Liu Zhang sent Pang Xi as an envoy, and together with Cai Mao, he escorted five thousand stones of grain and some gold and silver to support Zhang Xiu, and returned to Chang'an.

When they came to Chang'an again, it was already March.

Spring is still cold at this moment, but the people have already started spring plowing activities.

In history, after the rebellion of Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and Guo Si, Guanzhong was destroyed, nine out of ten houses were empty, and no one was inhabited by thousands of miles. The Wu Yi brothers entered Yizhou under this background.

There were more than 100,000 people. These outsiders were known as "Dongzhou scholars" and became important political forces in Shu later.

However, with Zhang Xiu's intervention, Sanfu is still quite strong and has a large population.

On the avenue, Pang Xi sat in a carriage and watched the farmland on both sides of the road and the busy farmers, with a little worried expression on his face.

But the worries were fleeting, and Pang Xi smiled at Cai Mao, who was sitting in the same cart, saying, "Under the rule of Ming Gong, the Sanfu is really strong. Although Ming Gong lacks food this year, he will definitely not be short of food next year. Plowing down Ma Teng and Han Sui is just around the corner."

Cai Mao did not see Pang Xi's worry, and nodded with a smile and said, "I am a great minister of the country and the court."

Pang Xi also nodded and praised him for a few words. Soon after, they successfully entered Chang'an City and arrived in the living room of the Grand Sima Mansion, where they had met Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu sat in the main seat in a white casual suit, lowered the white cloth with the list of goods in his hand, raised his head and looked at Pang Xi.

Pang Xi was a little guilty, but his expression was as normal.

Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "It's so good that the court has difficulties, and Mr. Liu is trying his best to support it. I'm very pleased."

When Pang Xi heard this, he immediately bowed his hand and said loyally: "Mr. Liu is a relative of the Han Dynasty and a Miao family. Supporting the court is his duty."

Zhang Xiu nodded with a smile, and then suddenly said, "Mr. Liu lives in Chengdu, do you miss his son?"

Pang Xi's heartbeat accelerated slightly, and he didn't know what Zhang Xiu meant. He thought for a moment, then bowed and said, "Mr. Liu missed his son very much."

Zhang Xiu smiled and said generously: "Since that's the case, I will ask the court for instructions and appoint Liu Zhang as the prefect of Shu County. Let Liu Gong and his son be reunited."

Pang Xi could hardly believe his ears. Zhang Xiu held the hostage Liu Zhang. Since he was going to let Liu Zhang go? What is the operation?

But the great joy filled Pang Xi's chest. He immediately thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Ming."

"Hehe." Zhang Xiu laughed, not seeing any strangeness. Soon after, he asked the minor official to lead Pang Xi to the inn to rest.

After the man left, Zhang Xiu curled his smile and asked Cai Mao, "What do you think of Degui?"

Cai Mao didn't think much about it and said, "Yizhou has absolutely no food, which I saw with my own eyes. Liu Yan is a man who is ill-intentioned."

"Yes." Zhang Xiu nodded, but smiled and said, "I see that his food has been supported by Ma Teng."

Yizhou is too far away and it is inconvenient to transmit information. Zhang Xiu has very few spies in Yizhou, but he can tell with his butt that Liu Yan's food should be to support Ma Teng.

As the saying goes, the fisherman benefits when the snipe and the clam are stalemate.

"Degui has worked hard all the way, so let's go and have a rest." Zhang Xiu said to Cai Mao with a smile.

"No." Cai Mao turned no and stood up.

"I sent someone to increase the title of Liu Yan and sent Liu Zhang back to Liu Yan, and I did enough effort. Now Liu Yan must have relaxed his vigilance. It is a great opportunity for me to conquer Hanzhong."

"But there is a last move."

After Zhang Xiu thought for a while, he immediately summoned a minor official and ordered: "Shim to gather in the hall."

"No." The minor official replied and went down immediately.

Not long after, Zhang Xiu and his important civil and military officials sat neatly in the hall. Zhang Xiu looked around at everyone and said, "Now everything is ready, the arrow is on the string, and I have to fire it."

Everyone was excited when they heard this, and Yan Xing showed even more excitement.

"Yan Xing, you lead five thousand soldiers and horses as the front vanguard."

Zhang Xiu smiled and looked at Yan Xing, and ordered.

"No." Yan Xing was overjoyed and replied with a loud bang.

"The rest of the men were ready to go. Three days later, we walked through the Wei River and went to Lueyang County to play a good show with Ma Teng and Han Sui, and then went south to attack Wudu and Yinping. From Yangping Pass, we entered Hanzhong and took Zhang Lu's head."

Zhang Xiu suddenly stood up, his face full of heroic posture and a mighty aura.

"promise."

The civil and military officials responded with a loud voice and stood up together.

.............

Just this day when Zhang Xiu acted as the front vanguard, he personally commanded the generals and a total of more than 50,000 horse and infantrymen. He went west to Chang'an and followed the Weishui River to Lueyang County.

Pang Xi and Liu Zhang also left the west gate and headed for Yizhou.

"Young Master. Zhang Xiu should have let you go in order to make it public to the lord. But he may regret that we need to go day and night, and it will be safe when we arrive in Yizhou."

Pang Xi said to Liu Zhang with a serious face.

"good."

Liu Zhang was excited and afraid. Then they turned over to the horse, and only led more than a hundred light cavalrymen to gallop and rode their horses to Yizhou day and night.

As for the chariots, horses, supplies, and Liu Zhang's family, they were walking slowly behind.

After Liu Zhang arrived at the Yizhou territory, he was so happy that he was almost crazy. God knows. Under Zhang Xiu's eyes, how much pressure was under him. Now it is so vast that the sky is so vast.

I, Liu Zhang, finally arrived in Yizhou.

After arriving in Yizhou, Liu Zhang and Pang Xi slowed down a lot, but they still returned to Chengdu with a quick horse.

After Liu Yan received the news, he was so happy. But there was no need for me to welcome his son. Liu Yan was waiting for his son to arrive in the mansion.

That morning, Liu Yan waited anxiously in the study for a long time before he saw his son coming in from outside.

"Father." The round Liu Zhang saw Liu Yan who had not seen for a long time, and his eyes were red, and he knelt down and kowtowed.

"Zhang'er, Ji Yu." Liu Yan also had tears in his eyes, and quickly stood up and helped Liu Zhang up, looking left and right, his baby son really couldn't see enough.

The meeting between father and son made Pang Xi and Zheng Du a little embarrassed. Soon after, Liu Yan ended the touching father-son reunion, returned to the main seat to sit down, and invited Pang Xi, Zheng Du sat down, and Liu Zhang sat next to Liu Yan.

Yizhou's roads are dangerous and obstructed, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. There is enough food, grass, gold and silver equipment, and it is very strong and difficult to defeat.

Liu Yan was a little confident, but now he got his son even more confident. He looked around and smiled at Zheng Du, and Pang Xi said, "Zhang Xiu frequently showed kindness to me, obviously he wanted to concentrate on dealing with Ma Teng. But he was afraid that I would stab him from the back. Now he has led his troops to Lueyang County along the Weishui River and fought with Ma Teng. It's really a battle of dragons and tigers. We can watch it on the wall and watch it for fun."

Zheng Du and Pang Xi also showed a smile on their faces and nodded happily.

The situation is already very obvious now, otherwise how could Zhang Xiu even release Liu Zhang back? This is fear and fear of the strength of our Yizhou.

Ma Teng, Han Sui and Zhang Xiu fought for both sides and suffered, and they could do a great job.

Support, we must support Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Thinking of this, Zheng Du said a little excitedly: "Lord, why not increase our support for Ma Teng, transport more food and arrows to pass."

"Well, this only has the benefits, no harm. Use some supplies to exchange for Ma Teng to kill more Zhang Xiu's army, okay, okay."

Liu Yan nodded repeatedly, then smiled and discussed with Zheng Du and Pang Xi about increasing support.

After discussion, Liu Yan decided to support Ma Teng with another 10,000 stones of grain and 30,000 arrows, and it was completely free, so Ma Teng didn’t need any war horses.

Brother, please kill and defeat Zhang Xiu's army with more honesty.

I'll support you behind the scenes.

At this point, Liu Yan has completely relaxed his vigilance. Even a wise man like Zheng Du is the same.

Zhang Xiu’s military purpose is Ma Teng.
