Chapter 53: Liu Yanying Alliance
Mianzhu County, in the Prefecture-Master's Mansion.
Liu Yan was lying on the soft couch, with his eyes half dozing. There were two maids beside him, one pounding his legs and the other rubbing his waist. It was a great pleasure.
People in their sixties will not have much chance if they don’t enjoy it well in a few years.
But at this moment, Liu Yan was running rapidly in his mind.
These days, he has been thinking about how to reply to Yiji.
To be honest, Liu Yan also knew in his heart the benefits of this alliance. If he could use this as an opportunity to recall his three sons who were accompanying Luoyang to Shuzhong, it would be a great thing for him.
But there are several disadvantages.
First, since entering Shu and pacified the Yellow Turban Thief Ma Xiang, Liu Yan has been trying hard to suppress the wealthy families in Shu. Now more than a dozen leaders of wealthy families have been killed.
Liu Yan naturally understood in his heart how much hatred the rich people in Yizhou are now. Jia Long and Ren Qi, the representatives of the rich people who helped him to pacify the Yellow Turbans, were now doing some actions.
Liu Yan knew in his heart, but he just didn't say it out loud.
When the powerful men in Yizhou were deeply resentful of him, Liu Yan felt that the time for the troops was wrong.
Second, he is not loyal to the current emperor. Emperor Xiaoling is his nephew, and the current emperor is his grandchild. A nine-year-old child doesn't know anything, but he can sit on Ah Weng in the clan and order at will.
Liu Yan felt uncomfortable.
Let yourself send troops to protect that young grandson?
When Liu Yan thought of this, he sneered.
But for this reason, Liu Yan is in a dilemma now. He thought about it for several days but still failed to make up his mind.
"Empress, Mrs. Lu asks for a visit."
After listening to the attendant's report, a smile appeared on the corner of Liu Yan's mouth.
He waved his hand, took away the two maids, and ordered: "Please come in quickly."
Liu Yan has a strange taste. With his current status, it is just a matter of one sentence to wanting a young and beautiful woman... There are many beauties in Sichuan, and all kinds of young and beautiful women can be chosen by Liu Yan.
As long as he wants, the woman who accompanys him every day can even be different.
But Liu Yan didn't know what kind of devil he was possessed, but he just liked Mrs. Lu, who had been running for fifty years.
Mrs. Lu's appearance is indeed beautiful, and her appearance is very well maintained, but it is not as beautiful as it is so beautiful that it is so beautiful. After all, her age is there, and she wants to choose a woman who is younger than her than her, and she is everywhere.
But Liu Yan just likes her, and she is so obsessed with it.
Perhaps those young women are not on the same line as Liu Yan, who is already over 60 years old, in terms of spiritual compatibility... there is a generation gap.
On the other hand, in order to develop the Tianshi Sect and to allow his son Zhang Lu to firmly take up the position of the teacher, Mrs. Lu was willing to commit herself to Liu Yan.
A middle-aged and elderly woman can run to the Mu Mansion more than ten times a month, and stay for two or three hours each time, or even one night... She is 50 years old, so it is not easy to be as easy as it is.
Liu Yan knew it well, so he was particularly good at the Tianshi Sect and the department teacher Zhang Lu.
And he really treated Zhang Lu as his biological son...
Soon after, Mrs. Lu walked into the warm pavilion where Liu Yan was staying.
Before he could speak, Liu Yan stood up from the soft collapse, strode to Mrs. Lu, and said to her: "How long will it take? I really want to be so bad."
...
An hour later, Mrs. Lu got up from the soft collapse and asked while dressing, "I think I am not thinking about whether the envoy is today, but I seem to have any thoughts?"
Liu Yan leaned against the soft collapse and sighed: "Oh, but I can't hide anything from my wife. There is something that makes me embarrassed and can't make up my mind."
Mrs. Lu nodded, not asking what was going on, but said, "Since you have troubles in your heart, you should let me try the prophecy as your envoy, how about it?"
When Liu Yan heard this, he stood up suddenly, and the turbid eyes flashed.
"It's so good, madam, please calculate your luck soon for someone?"
Liu Yan believed in the saying of ghosts and gods very much. At that time, just because the servant Dong Fu said that Yizhou had the aura of the emperor, he wrote a letter asking to change from Jiaozhou to Yizhou to take office.
Mrs. Lu's father-in-law was the Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling, and her husband was the successor Zhang Heng. Mrs. Lu inherited the calculations, prophecies, and ghost ways of the successor, which is also one of the important reasons why Liu Yan was fascinated by her.
Mrs. Lu wore her dress, held a turtle shell in her hand, built-in Liu Yao, asked the heavens and divination, and calculated three times in a row on the long table in the warm pavilion.
Liu Yan sat at the table, staring at the Yao on the table, wanting to ask, but he was afraid of disturbing Mrs. Lu, so he did not dare to speak out.
Mrs. Lu closed her eyes and silently recited the words in her mouth: "The moon is broken, Liuhe, Xun Kong, Fuling..."
When I was young, I saw Mrs. Lu looking at Liu Yan and slowly said, "The world is full of wind and wind, and the right path is open to Shangguang... The envoy may have great opportunities in the near future. If it succeeds, hegemony will be expected."
When Liu Yan heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Madam, this is what he said seriously?"
"How dare I deceive the Lord? The hexagram shows that the Yao Star is in the north and the auxiliary Star is in the east, which means that the Lord will take the east and drive to the north, which can lead to all things and inherit the heaven."
Liu Yan suddenly stood up and paced back and forth in the warmer pavilion: "Natouer sails north, Naodong and moves north! So that's it! Hahaha, it's really God's will."
Mrs. Lu pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Eunuch, what's the big deal?"
Liu Yan hurriedly sat down and told Mrs. Lu the whole story.
"Yi Ji represented Liu Biao from the east and invited me to the alliance north, which responded to the hexagram of his wife... But I didn't understand. Since this hexagram is responsible for the birth of all things, it is to follow the heavens. However, how should I do it so that I can get this hexagram?"
Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "I am here to congratulate the envoy. In my opinion, if the envoy enters the clan alliance and goes out to protect the envoy, you can respond to this hexagram and become the king's cause!"
Liu Yan was quite puzzled when he heard this: "Would you like to hear that Mrs. Lucky?"
"When my son is young today, it is not enough to shock the musketeers in various places. Now he is controlled by Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo is a violent person. The emperor is in his hands. I don't know when his life will be in danger. If the emperor dies, who should the emperor be regarded as the emperor?"
Liu Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "Of course, people from my Liu clan need to succeed the throne!"
Mrs. Lu said: "If the emperor died in Dong Zhuo, who can be the commander of the great rule, one is the envoy and the other is the Grand Sima who guards Youzhou. If the envoy wants to overthrow the Grand Sima, he must show his strength in the alliance to protect the king... Why not form an alliance with Liu Biao in Jingzhou and regard himself as the leader?"
Liu Yan thought seriously, suddenly grabbed Mrs. Lu's hand and said, "If I were emperor, I would be the queen the next day and my mother would be the mother of the world."
Mrs. Lu stood up and squatted and bowed: "I am so kind to you."
Liu Yan thought for a moment, and suddenly shouted to the outside: "Come on, come to Yiji, come to Yishe Zhuo!"
...
Soon, Yiji came to the palace of the governor, while Liu Yan asked Mrs. Lu to take refuge for a while.
When Liu Yan saw Yi Ji, he went straight in.
"I have been thinking for several days and thought that I have been kind to the last emperor. Now Your Majesty is in trouble. If I do not send troops, I will be a descendant of the Liu family."
Yiji thought to himself that Mrs. Lu was indeed very good.
"It is a blessing for the Han Dynasty to send troops to join forces."
Liu Yan said: "I want to produce 5,000 elite troops and go out to Sichuan to join the army of Jingzhou. However, you want to tell Jingsheng that if I want to join, I need to meet two conditions."
"Please also ask me to give a detailed explanation."
"One of the matter, I want to be the leader of the alliance."
When Yi Ji entered Sichuan, he had already received guidance from Liu Qi. He could persuade Liu Yan to gain his trust at critical moments, but after all, this matter is very important and should not be said casually.
Yi Ji originally planned to see Liu Yan again this time, so he made this statement, but since Mrs. Lu had already persuaded her to succeed, Yi Ji could not make such a risky move again.
Compared to persuading the initiative, he could make promises for Liu Biao and Liu Qi.
"When Liu Jingzhou entered Sichuan, he had already said that the position of leader of the alliance was determined to be Liu Yizhou."
Liu Yan nodded with satisfaction and said again.
"Secondly, it is extremely difficult to transport grain from Shu Road. The food and fodder of our soldiers in Yizhou, the north of the Sima, must be raised by Ru Jingzhou, be borne?"
Yiji: "..."
...
Yunmengze and Cai family live apart.
Cai Mi has been back in Yunmengze for several days. She has been waiting for Liu Qi to come to find her upon appointment, but Liu Qi has not appeared.
If Liu Qi doesn't come, Cai Mi feels a little confused. She doesn't want to eat and eat every day. She always looks at the direction of the door and her temper becomes a little anxious.
Shouldn't you forget me?
Whenever Cai Mi thinks of this, she can't help but feel a little upset in her heart.
"Miss Second Miss, Miss Second Miss!" On this day, Cai Mi was in a state of mind, and suddenly saw her maid running over in a hurry.
Cai Mi's imagination was interrupted and she was quite annoyed: "Why are you so anxious?"
The maid gasped and said, "Miss. Second Miss, two people came outside the door, both of whom were in their teens. One of them said that it was the Miss's old friend, so he was invited to visit."
"Old friend? In his teens?"
Cai Mi was stunned at first, then showed a surprise expression.
"It's him! But he's here! He asked me to wait, hurry up! You will lead them to the main hall and I'll dress up and come."
The woman was trying to please herself. When she heard that Liu Qi had arrived, Cai Mi hurriedly went to clean up, applying rouge and mouth fat, and she was busy for a long time.
When she was away, Liu Qi was wearing strong clothes and was watching the scenery of the Cai family in Yunmengze with Huang Xu.
"The Cai family really knows how to enjoy it. They actually built such a good mansion here. It's really quiet and quiet." Liu Qi murmured.
Huang Xu followed him and said, "If Young Master likes it, he will build a room next to Yunmengze, so why envy her?"
Liu Qi smiled slightly: "It's okay, it's a waste of money and money, and it's not good to be a good deal... If we want to hide from leisure in the future, we can just stay here, and there is no need to build another one by ourselves."
“Living here?”
Huang Xu didn't react for a while.
"Yes, stay! If you don't stay in such a good view, it's a waste. Why don't you stay here tonight?"
Huang Xu: "…"
