Chapter 136: Childhood
In fact, Li Yan had already expected that Liu Fan would not have come to Zigui specifically because of him.
So when Liu Fan told Li Yan that he wanted to go to Jingzhou to pick up Xun You, the prefect of Shu County, to investigate the situation in Jingzhou, Li Yan was acceptable in his heart.
As a monarch whose pattern touched the entire world, Liu Fan could not and should not only focus on Yizhou, so his choice to welcome Xun You was to show that he would definitely go to the Central Plains in the future.
This move also made Li Yan more acknowledge his effectiveness in Liu Fan.
"The prince, the situation in Jingzhou is now divided into two parts: north and south. Jingbei governed by Liu Jingsheng is now prosperous and has a tendency to expand everywhere. Since Liu Biao sent Huang Zu to ambush Sun Jian a few years ago, the entire Jingbei has gathered a despicable attitude."
Li Yan said that Jingbei's current situation could not help but shake his head. Jingzhou now has an unprecedented sense of blind confidence, especially when the world's famous general who defeated Dong Zhuo died in Jingzhou.
At first, Liu Biao was still hypocritical and a little frightened inside, but later, he found that more and more scholars in the Central Plains began to take refuge in Jingzhou, Liu Biao gradually realized that only a powerful military force could convince all parties in this era.
Therefore, Jingzhou's military strength has developed rapidly in just a few years. Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others were appointed one after another, and Jingnan was also controlled by Liu Biao's dispatched Huang Zu, Liu Pan and others. Jingzhou can be said to be nominally held in Liu Biao's hands.
After Liu Biao took control of Jingzhou, he also began to expand to the surrounding areas. After Zhou Shu, the prefect of Yuzhang, he appointed Zhuge Xuan as the prefect of Yuzhang. In addition, in history, at this time, Liu Biao sent Liu He to rebel against Gan Ning, attempting to get involved in Yizhou.
All signs indicate that Liu Biao and the people in Jingzhou were extremely interested in expanding at this time.
However, when they met Liu Fan, they showed a faint smile on their faces, "It seems that since Liu Jingsheng entered Jingzhou, everything went smoothly! I think he should know the power of the heroes in the world."
Looking at Liu Fan silently, Li Yan read an inexplicable confidence from his face, but when he thought of Liu Fan's impressive record so far, Li Yan didn't know how to comment for it for a while.
Didn't care about Li Yan's thoughts, Liu Fan just smiled, "Since Zhengfang's words just now, Jingzhou is now Liu Biao's one-man show?"
Shaking his head, seeing that Liu Fan did not show off in military affairs, Li Yan quickly focused his mind and said seriously: "Although Liu Biao was the governor of Jingzhou, Jingzhou is definitely not his only one. Regardless of him, Jingnan and Jingbei have been in a state of disagreement in recent years.
As for Jingbei, it was not peaceful. The reason why Liu Biao was able to quickly quell the rebellion in Jingbei was also obtained by marrying the Cai family of the Jingzhou clan. The Cai family had a tangled relationship with several other major families in Jingzhou, so each family worked hard to help him, which made Jingzhou quickly pacified.”
"What are the big surnames in Jingbei?"
"There are Cai family, Kuai family, Huang family and Pang family!" Without a pause, Li Yan said casually, "There is Cai Mao in the Cai family, Kuai Yue in the Kuai family, Kuai Liang in the Huang family, Huang Chengyan in the Huang Zu in the side branch, and the Pang family has a famous scholar Pang Degong!"
"In this way, Liu Biao has all the support of the Jingzhou family!" His eyes narrowed slightly, and Liu Biao and Liu Fan suddenly felt it was difficult at this moment.
"Actually, I can't say that completely." Listening to Liu Fan's words, Li Yan unexpectedly refuted, "In fact, there are still many small families in Jingzhou who do not fully rely on Liu Biao. For example, the Ma family of Yicheng, Wen family of Wancheng, Huo family of Zhijiang and Xiang family of Yicheng, were all suppressed by the four major families and did not get a good way out."
The eyebrows raised slightly, and Liu Fan's eyes also showed a strange look. Just a few words from Li Yan just now, Liu Fan had already thought of several people, Ma Liang, Wen Pin, Huo Jun, and Xiang Lang.
These are all powerful figures who followed Liu Bei in the later period, and at this time, an exciting idea was also brewing in Liu Fan's mind. Since these clans have not completely defected to Liu Biao, why can't he come to win over?
Why do you have to wait a few years later and let Liu Bei pick up this vacant?
Subconsciously slamming his high-high, Liu Fan's gaze showed a little greed. Looking at Liu Fan's eyes, Li Yan quickly left it aside and pretended that he didn't see it. However, Liu Fan did not avoid anything from him, but said excitedly: "Since there are so many people in Jingzhou who don't like Liu Biao, these are my opportunities!"
After silently looking at Liu Fan, Li Yan could only nod, "That's true. If the prince really can establish good relations with these clans, it will be much easier if he wants to enter Jingzhou in the future!"
"Great kindness!" He happily clapped his high-highs, and Liu Fan happily saluted Li Yan, "If there is no right advice, it will be difficult for me to have such a clear idea. If I can make a clever way to Jingzhou in the future, the right side will be the first to be successful!"
He quickly bowed and gave in moderation, and Li Yan said he did not dare, "The matter in Jingzhou is just a brief explanation. The key is to be planned by the prince. Yan dared not take any credit!"
At that moment, Liu Fan held Li Yan's arm again and laughed loudly.
Next, Liu Fan talked about Jingzhou with Li Yan, and under his cover, he walked out of Zigui County.
Liu He was trapped in by Yan Yan in a burlap bag, and then he recruited the entourage outside the mansion and dragged him out. When the yamen runners in the county government saw that Liu Fan and Li Yan had a great chat, they did not dare to ask too much, but they just said that they were a slave who was not obsessed and had to be dealt with when they heard that they shouldn't have heard.
In this era, although the people can have their own lives, some gentry families will still raise some private slaves. Although Li Yan is not a wealthy family in Wancheng, there is no problem with bringing one or two slaves to Zigui.
Therefore, as long as you are sure that things are moved out from the eyes of the county magistrate in Zigui, there will generally be no blind eyes to check anything.
Unless he came from Jingzhou yesterday, and looked arrogant and looked unpopular, the county clerks would have been unhappy with him. Not to mention that he might not be in the sack, even if they knew it was him, the officials would probably not know it.
However, whether it was him or not, Liu He had been transported out of the county government.
Afterwards, Liu Fan and Li Yan talked a few more words and walked out of the county government.
Holding the document given by Li Yan, Liu Fan carried Liu He, the living creature, and walked out of Zigui City smoothly. When he reached the deck of the ferry, Liu He was finally awakened.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Liu Fan, Yan Yan and others squatting in front of him.
"Bold, who are you? How dare you attack me!"
"Bang!" Liu Fan turned his head and looked at him without saying a word.
Suddenly, Liu He looked extremely incredible and pointed at Liu Fan, "You...you are so bold! You dare..."
"Pai!" Just as he was pulling his back, Liu Fan completely explained what it means to be ruthless. Seeing that Liu He finally stopped talking, Liu Fan grabbed Liu He's clothes and spoke up, "I have a habit of being a martial artist, and using martial artists with literati! So, I'm sorry!"
With his hands on his knees, Liu Fan stood up from the ground.
Liu He also stared at him intently, "Who are you?"
Looking down at Liu He, a smile appeared on the corner of Liu Fan's mouth, "I?" After a pause, Liu Fan sneered, "It's the person you look down on."
"You...you are..." Before Liu He could shout in surprise, Yan Yan was knocked unconscious again by Yan Yan on the side.
He gently approached Liu Fan and Yan Yan asked in a low voice, "Lord, how should this person be dealt with? Drowning?"
He glanced at him and Liu Fan was not angry, "Do you really think I asked you to bring him out just to let this breath?"
He lowered his head and said nothing. Although Yan Yan thought of this in his heart, he was not so stupid that he said it.
"The messenger sent him to Yufu and asked Gan Ning to take he under custody. Since this person dared to instigate Li Yan to deal with Yizhou, he would have a secret son in Yizhou. Tell Gan Ning that when I come back, I will know all the secret sons in Yizhou!"
"Here!" He quickly bowed seriously, Yan Yan also admired Liu Fan's meticulous thoughts at this moment.
Indeed, if Liu Biao was able to send him to Yizhou to instigate the riot, he would naturally hand over all the secrets who were ambushed in Yizhou to him. Now he is taking this opportunity to dig out the best chance of Liu Biao's secrets buried in Yizhou.
After dealing with these things, Liu Fan no longer worried about other things. He looked back at Zigui City, and immediately led everyone on board the boat and advanced east along the river.
On the top of Zigui City, Li Yan looked at Liu Fan and his group of people who were gradually moving away and sighed. He didn't know whether his choice was right or wrong today.
In fact, Liu Fan and Liu Biao are now at their peak and can make a difference under anyone's command. In fact, Li Yan had already expected that Liu Fan would not have come to Zigui specifically because of him.
So when Liu Fan told Li Yan that he wanted to go to Jingzhou to pick up Xun You, the prefect of Shu County, to investigate the situation in Jingzhou, Li Yan was acceptable in his heart.
As a monarch whose pattern touched the entire world, Liu Fan could not and should not only focus on Yizhou, so his choice to welcome Xun You was to show that he would definitely go to the Central Plains in the future.
