Chapter 128: Welcome
Listening to Liu Fan's inquiry, Zheng Du hesitated for a moment before responding.
"According to Shudu's previous understanding of Zhu Junjie in the South, this person may be from the Yang family in Wuyang!"
"Wuyang Family?" Liu Fan was puzzled.
"Yes, the Yang family is a great family. The Yang family also has many clan children in Wuyang. One of them is Yang Gong, who was a good friend of Zhang Junsi when he was young. Later, this person died young, so Zhang Junsi took the initiative to support his mother and care for the orphanage. This matter was also rumored to be a good story at that time."
He nodded silently and said Yang Gong. Liu Fan may not be familiar with him, but when he talked about Zhang's nature and Zhang Junsi, Liu Fan still had a little impression. This person is one of the few heroes in Chengdu and he has made some achievements in the late Shu Han period in history.
Therefore, it is not too bad to be attracted by such a person. It seems that the Yang family of Jianwei still has some background.
"In this way, if it were him, I would have to know all the counties and counties in Jianwei County." When he said this, Liu Fan seemed to think of something and asked in a slanting direction: "In my mind, Wuliang and Wude Mountain seem to be a person from Jianwei, right?"
"That's right!" The magistrate of Linqiong County below responded first. He has been in the south for many years, and he has heard of Junxian near the prefectures and counties.
Turning his head to look at the county magistrate, Liu Fan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "I almost forgot. The county magistrate is here for several years and must have known Zhu Junxian in the south. Why not tell me what to do?"
He bowed and the county magistrate also became humble, "I dare not say and understand, I can only hear what I say and hear. If the prince wants to know, he should know everything he is humble."
After a little thought, the county magistrate organized the language and spoke, "In fact, there are not so many famous people in the southern part compared to Bashu, but there are still some talented young talents.
The most famous ones must also know that the prince is either the other person, or the famous Han Jia scholar Wang Mou and Wang Yuantai! As for the others, there are only a few. However, there are many handsome men in Jianwei County. Recently, there are Wuliang and Wudeshan, a native of Nan'an mentioned by the prince, mentioned by the prince, who was appointed as a disciple and the disciple of Dingzu Gong.
The other words of Junxian are the young talents of Fei, Fei Shi, and Fei Gongju, who are quite famous in the past, were also as famous as Wuliang in Nan'an. As for Wuyang, the county governor, there are also wise men, who are like Zheng Junxian, just now, Yang Hong and Yang Jixiu."
He glanced at Liu Fan and the county magistrate seemed a little embarrassed, "It's just that he doesn't yearn for a career. Although he is talented and famous, he mostly shows his scattered appearances, but the county and county people have different praises and criticisms."
With a slightly raised eyebrows, Liu Fan seemed to be more interested in Yang Hong after the county magistrate said this, and he also knew that Fei Shi was also a capable minister in the late Shu Han Dynasty.
"I wonder what the relationship between Fei Gongju and Yang Jixiu is?"
The county magistrate was helpless when he showed awkward look, "The two of them often attracted each other as friends."
At this moment, Liu Fan nodded clearly. Since Yang Hong was attracted by Fei Shi, it means that his talent and ability are still unquestionable.
After getting the answer he wanted from the county magistrate, Liu Fan became both physically and mentally happy.
After a little recession, he remembered the incident of the Yueli rebels again. "When hearing about this turmoil, it seems that the Yueli people are the main ones. Can the county magistrate know the specific situation?"
"The King of Yueli Yi is old, and the young and energetic Prince of Yueli, who is now in a state of great enthusiasm, may have been inspired by the prince and wanted to have a chance to do something. Therefore, at this time, he would accept the instigation of outsiders and send troops to fight out of Yueli County."
"I heard that the person who colluded with Prince Yue Yi was from Han Jia. This time it was because of his cause that the southwest was turbulent?"
"This." After hearing this, the county magistrate hesitated for a moment before he sincerely said: "I'm very familiar with the news that I heard!"
At this point, Liu Fan also had a rough understanding of the situation in the southwest. He led his troops here, and the main thing he needed to solve was Huang Yuan, and then stabilized Jian Wei. Finally, after the peace talks with King Yi of Yue, the southwest was temporarily stable.
After clarifying the next ideas, Liu Fan also had an accurate action policy.
After letting the soldiers rest for a while in Linqiong, Liu Fan led his army to the direction of the Grand Canyon. He had to judge the situation in the Grand Canyon first and then decide the direction of his next action.
At the steep canyon entrance, the fire has been extinguished, and only the sloping smoke is still floating in the air. Liu Fan silently stared at the huge rocks blocking the mountain road, sighing quietly, "The ambush and the top of the mountain, the rolling wood, thunder and stones cut off the back path, and shot with crossbows. Finally, the fire arrows were eliminated, and the person who used the trick was quite cruel."
Nodded silently, Fa Zheng on the side also agreed with Liu Fan's remarks, "In extraordinary times, extraordinary methods should be used. If you want to shock the barbarians with a few soldiers, you must use killer moves. Although this plan is extremely cruel, the effect is also extremely obvious. Otherwise, once the barbarian soldiers rushed up the mountain and were defeated by the death, then these ambushed generals have nowhere to escape!"
"Xiaozhi's words are true." Hearing this, Zheng Du, who was standing aside, also spoke quietly, "Those who can use this plan to intimidate the barbarians are definitely not mediocre people. This plan is quite suspicious of being a game and risky, but it is similar to Xiaozhi's strategy."
Turning his head to look at Zheng Du, Fa Zheng's eyes were slightly bright. He was just now only interested in analyzing the implementation of this strategy, but he forgot to design the person who designed this strategy.
"What Zhongfa said is true. If this plan comes from one person, then this person is quite similar to me. I may be able to have a good conversation with him."
While speaking, Liu Fan had already followed the road opened by the soldiers and climbed to the top of the huge rock. He looked down at the pit, which was covered with black charcoal and ashes. Liu Fan didn't know how to evaluate it, so he had to turn around and walk down, and ordered the soldiers to send Zhuang Yong to fill it up and build a mountain road again, so that the huge rocks would not need to be cleaned.
Afterwards, Liu Fan and Fa Zheng climbed to the top of the mountain, checked the location of the ambush, and accurately judged that the person who set up the strategy was a familiar military book, then went down the mountain to prepare to return.
After experiencing this interception in the canyon, Liu Fan also speculated that Huang Yuan might either be injured or died in a stone mortar. So he asked the county magistrate to choose a messenger in the city who was familiar with the rules of the Yueli tribe and went to Yueli to contact the Yi King.
After all, it is approaching the cold winter, and there is no need for both sides to have a temporary dispute. This winter, countless casualties have been killed or injured.
After arranging the Linqiong incident, Liu Fan officially led his troops to advance towards Jianwei.
The first city of Jianwei is the county capital Wuyang.
Unlike Liu Fan who was looking forward to meeting everyone in Wuyang City, the three people in Wuyang City had a dispute over Liu Fan's coming.
At that time, after intercepting Huang Yuan in the canyon, Zhang Xu escorted Yang Hong, Fei Shi and others back while sending people to Linqiong to inform Linqiong of the news. However, the messenger sent back not long after he left, saying that an army was approaching outside Linqiong City.
After thinking about it, the three of them realized that it was probably Liu Fan who led his troops.
At this moment, Fei Shi was naturally extremely excited when he heard Liu Fan's arrival. With the help of this military achievements, he would definitely be able to enter Liu Fan's eyes and then stand on the same platform as Wuliang to continue competing.
But what Fei Shi didn't expect was that when he was excited to go to Linqiong to pay homage to Liu Fan, Yang Hong insisted on returning to Wuyang.
Yang Hong never wanted to become an official, Fei Shi knew about this. But the main planner of this battle was Yang Hong. If he didn't go to Fei Shi alone, it would be like that. Although Yang Hong told Fei Shi that he would give all the credit for this battle to Fei Shi, as long as he did not offer him Yang Hong out.
But Fei Shi was not the kind of person who was forgetful of his righteousness when he saw profit. He insisted on meeting Liu Fan with Yang Hong. So the two sides had a dispute again. Fortunately, Zhang Xu was used to it, so he suggested that the two of them go back to Wuyang first and then make a decision.
However, although the man returned to Wuyang, the dispute did not stop.
"Yang Jixiu, I tell you. Don't think that you can give credit to others as much as you read through some military books. Although I, Fei Shi, have a military strategy, are not as good as you, but I am upright and will never be greedy for your contributions!" Fei Shi grabbed Yang Hong's theory in the back of the Yang family.
Yang Hong was also disturbed by him, "Public Edict, I have told you a long time ago that if you want the credit, it is yours. It is also good if you don't give it to Brother Zhang. Why do you have to let me recognize this credit?"
"Because he was originally yours!"
"But I don't want to receive this credit!"
"But I want to take my own credit, so you have to do it too!" Fei Shiyi said righteously.
"Fei Gongju!" With a bang, Yang Hong slapped the desk beside him, and round eyes glared, "Don't bully people too much!"
"How do I deceive people too much? The sages have said: Those who have attained the truth will have many helpers, and those who have lost the truth will have few helpers! Do you want to be a lonely person? Now that all the ministers and wise men gather in the command of Prince Liu, you still want to stay out of the matter. I think you are the most unreasonable person!"
With a heavy breath, Yang Hong stared at Fei Shi who was stammering his neck, "The ancestors also said: Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you! Why do you force me?"
"Yes, what I do not want, but I do, so I want you to go with me!"
"Damn!" Yang Hong waved his sleeves and waved his hand angrily, "I can't argue with you if I say some of the wise men's remarks!" He collapsed on the chair and Yang Hong said, "I won't go anyway. If you want to go, you can go by yourself!"
"You!" Fei Shi was also angry when he stared at Yang Hong for a while, and waved his sleeves angrily, "I don't have the right to make a decision!"
With his hands on his back, Fei Shi turned around and prepared to leave. However, he ran into Zhang Xu who was rushing to come at the door. Seeing Fei Shi's face, Zhang Xu knew that he must have had a dispute with Yang Hong again.
Zhang Xu didn't ask the reason, but directly pulled Fei Shi and walked back to the house, keeping whispering something in his mouth.
Then in the house, Yang Hong was just enjoying the tranquility after Fei Shi left, and saw Zhang Xu hurriedly walking in. When he looked again, Fei Shi was following him. In an instant, Yang Hong was one head and two big!
"Why are you back?"
"You think you are so rare that you can see you. If it weren't for Brother Zhang, you would never have stepped into your broken house again!"
"Don't argue again, I'll get a critical news." Zhang Xu looked at the two of them solemnly and whispered: "The Zuo Zhonglang General Liu Fan has led his troops into Jianwei territory. It is expected that he will arrive in Wuyang City in a few hours!"
"So fast!" Fei Shi looked surprised.
"That's the result of him delaying in Linqiong for a while." Zhang Xu was also a little nervous when he answered Fei Shi's words seriously and nervously.
At this time, Yang Hong was the only one among the three, silent.
After a long time, he spoke slowly, "You said, what did he inquired about during the time he was delaying in Linqiong?"
Yang Hong stopped Zhang Xu from asking this question, but Fei Shi frowned and thought, "Is it to verify the interception and killing of us in the canyon?"
"But according to normal circumstances, shouldn't he be in line with the trend and force King Yi to submit?" Zhang Xu also looked puzzled.
"So he came to Wuyang for us?" Fei Shi suddenly thought of it, his face was shocked and suspicious.
Seeing Fei Shi's appearance, Zhang Xu was also a little nervous, "We have never done any harm to him, why did we come here specifically for us?"
With a gentle smile, Yang Hong said with a slight smile: "Did you forget the story of the prince Baili chasing Gan Ning?"
"You mean he is seeking talent?" Zhang Xu also responded to you after Yang Hongyi's explanation.
Without nodding, Yang Hong took a breath. In fact, he didn't know if he was thinking too much. He vaguely felt that the reason why Liu Fan was eager to recruit all the talented talents in the prefectures and counties was that he had bigger plans in his heart.
To put it bluntly, his ambition is far from Yizhou, so he will try his best to reduce the population loss in Yizhou. Moreover, Yang Hong is sure that Yizhou will usher in a rapid golden period of development in the future.
But this also indirectly proves that Liu Fan will not tolerate any unstable factors at this time.
And being able to intercept Huang Yuan in the canyon and force Gao Ding to retreat became Liu Fan's first target. For the sake of Jianwei's subsequent stability, the three of them who planned this matter could only have one choice.
It is to choose to follow Liu Fan.
Youyou sighed, Yang Hong looked at Fei Shi with complicated eyes, and Fei Shi was also a smart person, otherwise Yang Hong would not have made friends with him. Looking at each other for a few breaths, Fei Shi's eyes also showed a look of worry.
"Ji Xiu, this matter..."
He raised his hand to interrupt Fei Shi's words, but Yang Hong did not blame him, "This matter has nothing to do with you, it is the general trend. Even if it is not because of you, I will be targeted by him in the future."
"Then us?"
"Prepare and wait for the scholar to arrive, welcome!"
At this time, Liu Fan had already arrived outside Wuyang City.
