Chapter 62: Arrogant
Mianzhu
As the capital of Yizhou in recent years, although it has experienced a sudden fire, its overall scale remains.
In recent years, Liu Yan's capital was established in Mianzhu and also made this city prosperous. At this time, although he heard that the prefecture and the Patriarchate were moving to Chengdu, the entire Mianzhu City was still stable.
Looking at the busy people outside, Liu Zhang felt quite moved. He thought that when he returned to Mianzhu, there seemed to be no such big noise. In the name of Fengche Duwei, he came from Chang'an to Yizhou and said that he was coming to Xiaoyu and Liu Yan by the order of the imperial edict. In fact, it was Liu Yan's trick to deceive his son back from the court.
Later, he was stranded in Yizhou, and the Chang'an court was beyond the reach.
To be honest, Liu Zhang has not been happy in the past few years of living in Mianzhu. At least in his opinion, he was not as happy as when he followed his brother and brother Zhong. Here, everyone smiled at him, but he just stopped talking.
He basically has no friends, and there are only some compliments who he can't see the true thoughts clearly. There is also the invisible pressure his father Liu Yan has been bringing him, and Liu Zhang is already breathless.
"Young Master, now that Mianzhu is in riots, the prefecture governor has decided to move his capital to Chengdu, in order to prevent other accidents from happening in Mianzhu, I would like to suggest that the young master close the gates of Mianzhu and wait until the situation stabilizes before letting go!"
The person who spoke was a young man with a strong figure and looked brave.
"What do you mean is to ask me to close the four doors and block the way my brother will return?" Liu Zhang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Wang Chong, as a talented man in Guanghan County, don't take such a discord plan. This will make me look down on you!"
"Wow! Mr. Zhang has such a big temper!" As soon as Liu Zhang finished speaking, a sarcastic voice suddenly came from behind him. His brows frowned slightly. He had never met anyone who spoke to him like this for so long in Mianzhu.
Now that the elder brother has returned to Yizhou and his father has moved to Chengdu, these people feel that they have lost power, so they don’t take themselves seriously?
Turning his head to look at the visitor, the young face was full of arrogant expressions. The two looked at each other. After a long time, the visitor chuckled and stared at Liu Zhang, saying, "Liu Yizhou led all the officials and ministers to retreat to Chengdu, but let Mr. Zhang stay here to guard Mianzhu!"
"Hannan, how can you speak so irresponsibly!" At this moment, a man who was similar to the age of the young man interrupted him and said, "Young Master Zhang, is welcoming the return of General Zuo Zhonglang!"
"Welcome the return of the Zuo Zhonglang General?" Turning his head and looking at him, Li Miao laughed unceremoniously, "Young Master Zhang changed his mood after losing Yizhou. Do you want to show goodwill to the Zuo Zhonglang General?"
Looking at Liu Zhang jokingly, Li Miao, as a child of the Li family in Guanghan County, is now considered a young talented leader in Guanghan County. Naturally, he will no longer respect Liu Zhang who has lost his power.
Turning his head to look at the man who had just interrupted, Li Miao said with slightest words: "Ren Kui, if Liu Yizhou moves the capital to Chengdu, I'm afraid your Ren family will suffer the greatest losses, right?"
With a bad expression, Ren Kui glanced straight at Li Miao and lowered his head and said. Of course he knew what moving the capital to Chengdu meant to the Ren family. Now, Ren An, as a well-known scholar in Yizhou and from Mianzhu, was scrambled to seek the Ren family in the Mianzhu.
But once the prefecture capital moved to Chengdu, the Ren family would inevitably lose its former momentum. Moreover, the Zhang family in Chengdu was a local family and would definitely not allow the Ren family to expand to Chengdu. Therefore, Liu Yan moved his capital to Chengdu, and Ren Kui was the most unwilling to accept it among the many people in Guanghan County.
If the governor had been in Mianzhu, Ren Kui could foresee what kind of person he would become in the future. Once the governor moved, his future would be impossible.
He silently looked at his companion beside him. When the young man saw Ren Kui's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then bowed to Liu Zhang and said, "Prince Zhang, besides, the Left Zhonglang General has taken Hanzhong, why would he suggest him to station in Hanzhong?"
"Young Master, don't worry!" Before Liu Zhang could respond, Wang Fu immediately said: "As long as the young master is willing, I will definitely suggest to my brother. All the Junxian of Yizhou will advise Liu Yizhou, leaving the Left Central Army General in Hanzhong, and the young master stationed in Mianzhu!"
Looking at Wang Fu with his eyebrows, Liu Zhang's heart was ups and downs. Wang Fu and Li Miao were fellow villagers, both from Guanghan County. His brother Wang Shang was even more engaged in the ruling school and had a great say in front of Liu Yan.
At this moment, he actually suggested that he stay in Mianzhu.
In fact, Li Miao's disrespect for the past just now made Liu Zhang feel a little unhappy. Although he never regarded himself as the heir of Yizhou, Liu Zhang still cared about his naked sarcasm like him.
He pondered and said nothing. Liu Zhang stayed in Mianzhu, but he was not alone. There was Wu Yi, the general of Dongzhou that Liu Yan arranged for him. However, he had just asked Wu Yi to defend Mianzhu City, but he happened to be no longer by his side. Therefore, these young people in Yizhou dared to be so unscrupulous.
Seeing Liu Zhang bowing his head and hesitating, Li Miao said again, "I was still hesitant at this time. Does the young master think that your martial arts strategy or reputation can be comparable to the Left General? At present, all counties and counties in Guanghan gather here. The reason for persuading the young master is because of the young master Wen Ren.
Now that the Zuo Zhonglang General has not yet entered Bashu, the young master still has a fight with the support of our Guanghan gentry. When the Zuo Zhonglang General enters Bashu in the future, he will do some major things. Where can the young master stay in Yizhou in the future? At that time, if Chang'an entrusts the provincial governor to send the proton, the young master thinks that Liu Yizhou will send?"
When his expression changed, Liu Zhang stared at Li Miao, his face changing.
Seeing that Liu Zhang was still hesitating, Li Miao added fire again and said, "Please imagine. If Zuo Zhonglang came to Bashu in the future, he suddenly realized that the young master was more popular in Bashu than him. For the sake of power, what should the young master think Zuo Zhonglang should do?"
At this moment, Wang Chong, who had been silent on the side, also quietly spoke out: "I remember, before the son ascended the throne today, the former emperor was still the one whom Empress He was the one whom he gave!"
The voice was extremely small, only a few people here could hear it. As soon as he said this, Wang Fu, who was beside him, quickly glared at him and scolded in a low voice, "Silence, how can you speak nonsense!"
He closed his mouth awkwardly, but the atmosphere became quiet and weird at this moment. Everyone who had just talked endlessly was silently waiting for Liu Zhang's decision.
Perhaps Liu Zhang had no idea of competing with Liu Fan for Yizhou before, but after their instigation, I believe that Liu Zhang's will will be shaken.
After thinking for a long time, when Liu Zhang was about to say something, Wu Yi, who had finished rectifying Mianzhu's defense, walked over quickly in the distance.
After bowing to the crowd of Guanghan Junxian, Wu Yi spoke loudly: "Young Master, I have made arrangements. The soldiers have been arranged to guard the city gates in Mianzhu to maintain stability. In the direction of Zitong, I have sent people to inquire about the news. Once the General Zuo Zhonglang returns, we will definitely get the news."
"Good! I feel relieved if you have Ziyuan do things!" Liu Zhang also relaxed with a smile and praised Wu Yi.
With Wu Yi's arrival, the Chinese scholars who were still talking about it just now bowed and said goodbye.
Standing beside Liu Zhang, silently watching the departure of contemporary young talents such as Li Miao, Wang Fu, Ren Kui, etc. Wu Yi looked worried and glanced at Liu Zhang, wanting to speak but stopping.
As if he felt Wu Yi’s thoughts, Liu Zhang smiled and said, “Ziyuan, do you think I am really that gentle in their eyes? How can you be sure that I must be better than my brother?”
Open his mouth, Wu Yi wanted to say that Liu Fan's record was already very scary, not to mention that he brought nearly 10,000 troops to return to Bashu this time. If he was a person, he knew that his visitor was not good.
Turning his head and smiling at Wu Yi, Liu Zhang laughed and said, "Actually, I miss my brothers a lot. I remember that although he was old when he was young, he always liked to let his brothers mess around, and then he went to clean up the mess."
A smile appeared on his face. As one of the first people to follow Liu Yan into Shu, Wu Yi had a deep friendship with Liu Yan, so he naturally knew Liu Fan. In his impression, he was a gentle, kind and honest young man from a noble family!
While Liu Zhang and Wu Yi were waiting for Liu Fan to come to Mianzhu, the few people left just now also came to a courtyard and started discussing with each other.
"With Wu Zi far away, it is difficult for us to persuade Liu Jiyu!" Ren Kui said impatiently as soon as he started.
Although Ren Kui and Wang Chong were both generals, compared with Wu Yi, they not only lacked experience in leading troops, but also did not look at the soldiers in their hands. Because most of the soldiers in Bashu had been taken away by Zhao Wei. The rest followed Liu Yan to Chengdu, and the soldiers in their hands had no combat power at all.
Regarding the future of the entire Guanghan County, not only Ren Kui was anxious, but Wang Fu and Wang Chong were also anxious.
At this time, Li Miao sneered and said quietly: "Actually, you don't need to worry too much. I have sent someone to hand the news to Sun De. I think he is willing to do something for us when he comes to Zitong."
From Jiameng Pass to Shu, you have to walk southwest all the way, pass Jiange, then pass Fu County, and Zitong County before you can reach Mianzhu.
The person whose name is Sun De mentioned by Li Miao is also named Li, with the only name Fu. Although Li Fu is not from Qixian County, he has irreconcilable hatred with Liu Yan and his son. Because his father Li Quan was one of the powerful people killed by Liu Yan to shake the Yizhou gentry after Liu Yan entered Yizhou.
Li Fu was extremely happy to see them fighting in the internal struggles of Liu Yan and his son.
That's why Li Miao said that Zitong, who had Li Fu, would definitely stop Liu Fan for them. When Liu Fan could not arrive for a long time, they exclaimed Liu Zhang again, making him afraid, and things would be easy to succeed in the end.
"Everyone, please relax. After a few hours, I will tell Liu Jiyu again, which makes him feel scared. In this way, the big thing will be done in no time!" Hearing Li Miao's decisive words, everyone quietly calmed down.
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, several hours passed, and the sun gradually sets.
Dusk is approaching, and Liu Zhang has not yet waited for Liu Fan's news. At this time, he is also a little melancholy. Logically, if Liu Fan learns that he is waiting for him in Mianzhu, he should have arrived soon!
Just when Liu Zhang was hesitating, Li Miao and others came to look for him again. This time, they blocked Liu Zhang directly in the lobby of the county temple, and Wu Yi was also blocked by them and stayed in the hall.
There was no intention of being polite to Liu Zhang. Li Miao directly promoted the rumors with Liu Zhang that Liu Fan would not come, "Young Master, I am not an exaggeration. Since the Zuo Zhonglang General has occupied the foundation in Hanzhong, how could he easily come to the hinterland of Bashu?
And according to the information I received, General Zuo Zhonglang has already joined the Xiliang Army, otherwise how could he have escaped from Guanzhong so easily? He came back this time to arrest Liu Yizhou and your father and son and return to Chang'an to ask for rewards!"
"Li Miao, have you ever thought about what kind of punishment you would face if my brother knew about your remarks?"
Upon hearing Liu Zhang's questioning, Li Miao smiled disdainfully, "I'll tell you clearly to the young master. Today, I dare to confront him. Now, everyone in Bashu knows everything, only you, Prince, are still kept in the dark!"
"You!" Liu Zhang stared at the polite eyes for the first time. He felt that someone could be hated to this extent.
However, facing this young man who was in the name of Junxian in Guanghan County, who was actually a rogue family, the young Liu Zhang had no choice but to deal with him!
However, just when Liu Zhang was speechless, a cheerful and heroic voice suddenly came from the door!
"Wow? What big thing is it that everyone in Bashu knows, but they keep their brothers in the dark?"
He instantly showed joy, and Liu Zhang was very familiar with the voice, and he quickly looked at the door. At this time, the two of them walked towards the hall with big strides.
The first person was very handsome and was so majestic. He ignored the left and right and left and right and looked at the young people. After Liu Fan stepped directly to the main position, he swung his robe. Liu Fan turned around, swept his tiger eyes over everyone in the hall, and shouted loudly: "I want to see today, who dares to bully my brother Liu Bochang in the hall!"
----------------------------
"Huayang Guozhi": Li Miao, whose courtesy name was Hannan, was appointed as Niu Li, and was the chief of the Niu Li during the reign of Liu Zhang. The first lord was the leader of the herd. In order to do the work, Zhengdan ordered the wine to drink. When he was in contact, he asked the former lord to say, "He reigned his power to fight against the thieves. Before the Yuan Dynasty was achieved, he first attacked and destroyed it. Miao took the general to take the brutal state, which was very inappropriate. "The first lord said, "I know it was not suitable, why not help him?" Miao said, "The bandits dared not, and they were not strong enough." There was a general who killed him, and Zhuge Liang asked for help, and he was spared. After a long time, he became the prefect of Jian, the prime minister joined the army, and the general Anhan. In the sixth year of Jianxing, Liang was in the west.
In the battle, Ma Su was defeated in front of him, Liang was about to kill him. Miao advised him to "Qin pardon Meng Ming, and use Bo Xirong to kill Ziyu, and the second generation did not compete". He lost Liang's intention and returned to Shu. In the twelfth year, Liang died. After the latter, the latter ruler was in vain and mourned for three days. Miao wrote a memorial saying: "Lu Lu, Huo, Yu, and Yu may not have the intention to rebel. Xiaoxuan is not good at being the king of the killing ministers. He is afraid of his wives, and the lord fears his power, so traitors arise. Liang has a strong soldier with a stick, and the wolf is looking at the tiger. The five majors are not on the border, and the ministers are often in danger. Now Liang dies, and the clan is complete. The Western Rong is resting, and the big and small is celebrated. "The latter ruler is angry and is imprisoned and punishes him.
