Chapter 287 Lobbying

Zhang Yan didn't expect that the first person to contact him was not the Young Marshal of the Yellow Turbans, but the commander of the Yulin Guard Cao.

He knew the Yulin Army, but he didn't know what the Yulin Guard was, but his status should be not low.

"General Zhang, please don't be surprised." Cao Cao ordered people to prepare tea for Zhang Yan, and then said with a smile.

In recent years, tea has become popular, and many businessmen are looking for suitable tea varieties everywhere.

The method of tea tasting has also been from the beginning to the current way of making tea.

After pouring a cup for Zhang Yan, he asked, "The general is here at the invitation of the Young Marshal of the Yellow Turban to discuss the matter of surrender?"

"No, it's just that the young commander of the Yellow Turban is hard to refuse. Come and take a look." Zhang Yan is also a smart man, and he keeps three points in his speech.

What does it mean to come and take a look? It can be to come and join us or come and play. What is it, it is not sure now.

So is it a reservation or a price? Cao Cao thought about it and thought it should be the latter...

Taihang Mountain is not suitable for farming, so it’s easy to say that there are fewer people. If millions of people go out to rob them regularly, they will probably not have enough food.

If they cannot expand externally, then Zhang Yan and his group will have a high probability of being trapped in the Taihang Mountains.

Earlier, Zhang Yan was also trying to invade Jizhou and Hanoi. If Bingzhou did not go, the cavalry there restrained him. The environment of the Taihang Mountains was not suitable for training cavalry. On the contrary, the scale and strength of his archers were extraordinary.

If Zhang Yan is able to come here, it means that the expansion has not been successful, that is, the initiative is on his own side.

"Your Majesty has issued an order to let me take care of the general. If the general wants to go to any place, as long as he does not violate the ban, Cao can accompany him." Cao Cao said with a smile.

"Then I'm going to be the commander!" Zhang Yan nodded, "Which position is this Yulin Guard?"

"This..." Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly realized that the Yulin Guard was reorganized. It was probably not known outside that he had just told the origin and power of this position.

Zhang Yan was also surprised when he heard this. The Yulin Army reorganized the Yulin Guard, the Emperor's Personal Army, and the intelligence department. What's more important is that this plan was proposed by the Young Marshal of the Yellow Turbans. He felt it ridiculous. When this organization was organized, wouldn't it be that he also included himself in the other party's surveillance scope?

The Young Marshal of the Yellow Turban, why does he not look very smart?

If the collaborator is a not very smart person, then he must weigh whether to cooperate in depth. In fact, this is not bad now. Use horses to exchange for food, then purchase some specialties there, and resell them to Bingzhou or Youzhou, or even the grassland.

Therefore, in the past two years, the people of Taihang Mountain have rarely had enough food and clothing, and it is because Zhang Yan completely controlled the enemies of Taihang Mountain.

But I heard that the Young Marshal of the Yellow Turbans controlled Luoyang, held the emperor hostage, and sent him an invitation to make a big deal, so I naturally had to support him.

The problem is now in this situation, and he must reconsider it.

"The general chose to come to Luoyang, so he should believe that there are more generals of chariots and cavalry. However, when he went out to fight, the general was probably going to wait in Luoyang for a while. Your Majesty has issued an order to arrange a place for the general to stay." Seeing that he was thinking, Cao Cao probably guessed his thoughts, so he changed the topic.

"I'm working hard!" Zhang Yan nodded. This emperor is OK, and the polite and polite people are doing well. Unfortunately, if you are sincere, you should have come to meet him in person.

"It's a coincidence that the general came, and today is the day of the grand dynasty meeting. Otherwise, His Majesty would probably come to receive the general in person." Cao Cao added.

Oh, it turns out that today is the Grand Court meeting... Zhang Yan was stunned. How could he, a rough country man, know when the Grand Court meeting will be held?

I guess I can tell you that the emperor used a golden hoe, or fanned the wind under the shade of a tree, ate melons, etc.

Even so, he would summon him directly instead of letting Cao Cao come to see him.

"Do you know why Your Majesty didn't summon the general?" Cao Cao asked. Zhang Yan's expression naturally did not change much, but it did not prevent Cao Cao from knowing what he was thinking.

Or even if he doesn't know, he will continue to say this as before.

Before he could say anything, he sighed and said, "The general doesn't know anything. Now the court is divided into three forces, one is the General of the Cheqi and Cavalry and his subordinates, the other is the ministers dominated by the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, and the last one is His Majesty himself.

If the general comes from a court, he will probably be attacked by his ministers. Your Majesty is the weakest in the three parties. General Che and Cavalry is not here, and he is afraid that the general will be wronged, so he can only entertain the general in private."

Zhang Yan suddenly realized that it should be like this. However, the emperor actually had different intentions from his ministers, which was an accident.

Generally speaking, it shouldn’t be the emperor and his ministers joining forces to deal with the Young Marshal of the Yellow Turban?

In fact, this is the case. The problem is that after Zhang Yu's operation, it would be good that the emperor would not hate the noble families. How could he cooperate with them?

The emperor now knows very well that the Young Turbans of the Yellow Turbans represents the people of the world, while the ministers represent the aristocratic families.

If the young commander of the Yellow Turban is in power, then the people of the world will benefit, and in the end he will also win the hearts of the people.

If a great family takes power and even drives away the Yellow Turban Young Marshal, he will not only become a puppet, but also take responsibility for the people when they are tortured. In the end, a minister comes forward to demand his abdication, and he has no room for resistance.

The two evils are the least, and fools know which one should choose...

"Now that Your Majesty is also employed, the general should know that adding icing on the cake is far better than helping him in time." Cao Cao finally got to the point, or this was Liu Bian's real purpose.

"I am just coming to Luoyang to take a look." Zhang Yan shook her head, actually feeling a little moved.

"With the general's talent, even if he is appointed as a general, it is not a big problem. In addition, even if the general cooperates with the Young Master of the Yellow Turban, he will be under His Majesty's command in the end? No matter what, there is no conflict!" Cao Cao said with a smile.

Is this a spy on both sides? Zhang Yan raised the corner of her mouth slightly. This is good. She doesn’t offend both sides and can make profits from both sides. This deal is cost-effective!

"Don't mention this in advance, I will not have considered this yet." If you are interested, it is easy to agree, and it seems that you are too cheap.

"Of course, General, take advantage of this period of time to take a look in Luoyang and think about it." Cao Cao was not anxious. Whether Zhang Yan ended up joining the Young Marshal of the Yellow Turbans or his Majesty, there was actually no difference.

After all, he is the only one responsible for contacting him, and there are actually quite a lot of operability. From Zhang Yu's perspective, it is better for Zhang Yan to join His Majesty, so there are excuses for liquidation in the future. There may not be liquidation, but there will be no excuses.

"Okay..." Zhang Yan nodded, the latter had already stood up and said goodbye.

"Ship Qu, don't you really want to vote for that Emperor Han, right?" Someone came close to ask, all of whom were brothers from their hometown.
