Taking advantage of Liu Zhang's power to help him, Zhang Ren quickly stood up and glanced behind Liu Zhang. Sure enough, when he saw those officials who came to "welcome", most of the generals were blushing.

Everyone's face has the same meaning: "Only Zhang Ren is the mainstay of Yizhou. If you have any problems in the future, let this mainstay do it for you! We little stones that cannot be the mainstay, then roll as soon as possible to cool down and cool down."

Zhang Ren, who had a sharp vision, smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly: "Lord, Zhang Ren is just a martial artist in front of the lord. The safety of Yizhou is still based on the hard work of all the lords and generals.

Therefore, the contribution of defending Yizhou should be that everyone has the same talent. One person is the one who can't be praised by the lord!"

Liu Zhang did not understand the meaning of Zhang Ren's rejection for a moment. He curled his lips and snorted coldly: "Hmph! They!"

Suddenly, he saw Zhang Ren frowning at him and shook his head to show his expression. He had to react in a daze and immediately turned his tone: "Haha, yes! Yes! It is because everyone works together that the situation of stability and prosperity in Yizhou today is today!

Justice must continue to work together with you to ensure the long-term stability of Yizhou! Hehe, haha! Everyone! Now Japanese officials welcome the righteousness in the governor’s mansion, and have a great banquet. Don’t forget to come to the banquet later!”

When Zhang Ren heard the lord's resignation, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was a local, so he naturally knew how powerful these local tribes in Yizhou were. If Liu Zhang offended these people behind him too much, there was no need to discuss anything.

Tomorrow morning, perhaps besides Chengdu City, the entire Yizhou will be in a state of rebellion. Although it is now like to make up for the loss of sheep, at least the faces of the civil and military soldiers have finally looked much better.

Afraid that the lord would say something inappropriate, which would make the generals angry, Zhang Ren hurriedly said: "Yes! Lord, everyone will devote themselves to the lord and guard Yizhou well! The wind outside the city is strong. Lord, it's better to return to the city earlier!"

Taking advantage of Zhang Ren's proposal, Liu Zhang took the opportunity to hide his embarrassment and laughed: "Okay, okay. Generals Zhang Ren and Liu Xu returned to the city with me! Haha, everyone returned to the city together, ready to welcome the two generals! No one is allowed to come!"

If you don’t care about the stupid words Liu Zhang said before, Zhang Ren is a skill that can beat Yizhou invincible. He is very low-key and humble in dealing with people and soldiers. He is quite popular among officials and soldiers.

Aside from some of the unhappiness just now, there were warm greetings to him along the way into the city. No matter what happened, Zhang Renren was in front of him at this time. Everyone could only think that nothing had happened and they didn't hear anything to deal with it.

After entering the city gate, Liu Zhang led the two generals directly to the governor's mansion. The people who were greeting each dispersed and prepared to attend the banquet.

Seeing that there were no idle people around, Liu Zhang on the horse could not wait to hold Zhang Ren's hand.

He said anxiously: "Justice, where will Yizhou go, it is in your words. You should give me a clear answer, should Yizhou surrender or...!"

"Oh! Lord, this is still on the street! It's not too late to go back to the palace and discuss it again!"

Receiving Zhang Ren's reminder made Liu Zhang immediately put away his urgent mood. He looked at Liu Xun, who was following him with a expressionless face. He knew that Liu Xun was Zhang Ren's most valued deputy general, and this person was still trustworthy.

A little embarrassed smiled and lowered his voice and said, "Forgive me for justice, I am really a little out of my composure! Over the years, you have also known that I am very skilled in governing the people's sentiments. But when you encounter this military affairs, it is really difficult to make a decision!"

Looking at the face in front of me that had not seen for several months, she had obviously lost weight due to worry, and seemed much more lusty.

As a general under his command, Zhang Ren felt funny in his heart: "It's not just a difficult decision. The governor who is very good at political orders that can enrich the country and strengthen the people, but when he encounters military affairs, he completely loses his shrewd mind! He has messed up several war operations before.

If it weren't for the fact that Yizhou would be a little capable person besides itself. I'm afraid that the outside forces would have already entered Yizhou!"

Liu Zhang, who was weak in his heart, just wanted to express his depression these days. Maybe he could let go of everything after he said it. He didn't see Zhang Ren beside him, and he looked a little distracted.

He just said to himself: "Yes! After the imperial edict of the imperial court to Yangzhou, the family has been quarreling all these days! But everyone speaks very politely, and people don't know which side should listen to!

They quarreled happily, but over the past few days, I don’t know who to discuss what I have in my heart! Alas!”

With a long sigh, Liu Zhang, who looked depressed, accelerated his horse's speed. After arriving at the governor's mansion, he took them into the deserted study, regardless of Zhang Ren and his wife's misfortune. He also told the guard that no one would come to disturb him.

The three of them had just sat down, and Liu Zhang, who had no worries, couldn't wait to say, "Justice, you and General Liu Xu are both old men who followed their father. My father knew that I was not in military affairs, and before he left, he also told me that if there was any military indecision in Yizhou, I would like to ask you two.

You should give me a certain strategy for you to come up with. I can do my best to follow the plan! Is this court's mission waiting for our reply?"

Although Liu Zhang was not familiar with military affairs, he was still very self-aware. He left everything he didn't understand to his professional subordinates to take responsibility, and he adopted reliable opinions.

"Mr. Governor, don't be anxious! My subordinates will do their best to plan for the lord! As the lord said, the old lord's plan to protect Yizhou and observe the world is really far-sighted for our Yizhou.

However, the Jiangnan Army has emerged in a new era, not only has basically settled Jiangnan in several years. It also took advantage of the opportunity of Yuan and Cao fighting and had no time to look around to defeat Li Jue in one fell swoop, and Guo Si won the emperor! He thus took the title of righteousness.

As for their request to change the lord, it depends on the lord's original intention!”

"Original intention? My original intention?" Liu Zhang looked puzzled at Zhang Ren's words: "Justice! How do you say this? The situation has reached such a point. Can you still make a decision by my official at will? This is simply impossible!"

Along the way, Zhang Ren had already made detailed considerations on the situation in Yizhou.

At this time, when I heard the anxious lord question, I smiled confidently: "That's right! Lord, whether Yizhou is fighting or surrendering, it's only a matter of the lord's thoughts! I want to know, what do our lords and generals in Yizhou think about this?"

Liu Zhang, who was still a little puzzled, looked at the majestic Zhang Ren with a puzzled look and said, "Now they have divided into three factions. Those who support our officials to leave Yizhou include Li Yan, Fei Shi, and Xu Jing. Even Wu Yi, who has never spoken, seems to be a little ready to move.

However, there are still Huang Quan, Liu Ba, Wang Lei and other groups of "loyal and righteous people" who oppose the will of our officials to lead the court. Others, such as Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, who were newly invested, have never expressed their clear attitude. It should be considered neutral!

Few of the generals said bluntly, maybe they were waiting for the decision of you, the general of Yizhou! But now the two sides who have a choice are controversial in the meeting hall every day, and seeing their official positions is really a big deal!”

Zhang Ren, with a calm expression, nodded and said, "It's true! It's exactly the same as the judgment of his subordinates! These local families have different intentions, but their final choice depends on the decision of the lord!

Lord! If you want to talk about the situation today, the lord also understands in his heart. The battle between Yuan and Cao has reached the most critical moment. The two armies are powerless to take care of each other. And even if one side wins in the future, it will inevitably lead to a great loss of strength. They can ignore it!"

Of course, Liu Zhang, who is the lord of a state, knows: "There are also some recent reports that Ma Teng and Han Sui from Yongliang Prefectures are said to have also been under the command of the Jiangnan Army. I didn't expect that the two old guys who had rebelled against the imperial court for many years would be so old!

The two still had tens of thousands of people in their hands, but the Jiangnan Army only used one imperial edict to make them give up. It was such a useless waste!"

Hearing Liu Zhang's feelings, Zhang Ren and Liu Xu looked at each other, and in fact they already understood the choice that the lord wanted most.

Liu Xun, who had never spoken, said: "My lord, the two states of Yongliang have been under war for more than ten years. Since Dong Zhuo and after being poisoned by Li Jue and Guo Si, most of the strength of the two states has been destroyed, which is incomparable to the wealth and strength of the people in Yizhou over the years.

What they were going to face was said to be the Jiangnan Army, which was victorious in every battle. In addition, the two states and passes were completely damaged, and once the war started, they had no danger to defend. It was wise to surrender to the court when the situation was beneficial to them."

After hearing what Liu Xi said was reasonable, Liu Zhang could only nod and said yes. At this time, Liu Zhang suddenly had an inspiration in his heart and asked: "Hey! General Liu Xi, what would happen if our army took advantage of Ma Teng's withdrawal and Yongzhou was empty and sent troops to occupy the two states of Yongliang?

At that time, our army occupied the three states, and needed horses and people. As for food and grass, the wealthy Yizhou would not worry about it. Didn’t our army’s strength increase instantly? Then Cao Mengde only occupied half of the territory of the two states!

In this way, our army will have the strength to compete with the Jiangnan Army! That's right, haha, I didn't expect that my official was also quite a bit of a plan and could imagine this wonderful situation. You two never thought of it!"

Looking at the proud Liu Zhang, Zhang Ren and the other two looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly at the self-righteous lord: "Lord, you have more than enough defense with your current combat power, but if you want to leave the land of Bashu to rule the world, you may not be able to match your strength!"

Liu Zhang, who felt that his bright future was greatly hit, opened his mouth and shouted in a deep voice: "Ah! What? How can this be so? Justice, don't deceive your generals without military affairs, just want to deceive your generals!

Don’t our army have more than 100,000 troops? These 100,000 troops left north of Bashu, can’t they still win two declining prefectures and counties?”...)
