Three Kingdoms: The Shu Han was a prodigal, and Wollongong was burned at the beginning Chapter 242: Yizhou shows off its power? Zhang Ren suffers a loss in vain!
Chapter 242: Yizhou shows off its power? Zhang Ren suffers a loss in vain!
Liu Mang boasted about Haikou and led only a hundred men to resist Zhang Lu.
Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang felt that they were in danger, but unfortunately all the generals were present. If they defended Liu Mang in public, it would inevitably shake the morale of the army.
"General Guan, military advisor!"
His subordinates came to report, "Liu Zhang sent generals Zhang Ren, Leng Bao, and staff Huang Quan, Wang Lei, Fazheng, and Meng Da to come and work for the army!"
Upon hearing the arrival of Liu Zhang's men, Guan Yu directly motioned for everyone to go.
"Yun Chang."
Zhuge Liang said softly: "This is Liu Zhang's test. I will only take the two young masters with me. It is not convenient for Liang to show up."
Guan Yu nodded and said: "Don't worry, military advisor, Guan knows it well!"
After that, Guan Yu took Liu Feng and Liu Mang to meet Zhang Ren.
Zhang Ren, Leng Bao, Huang Quan, Wang Lei and others firmly disagreed with accepting Liu Bei into Shu.
Perhaps after serving as a guest general in Jingzhou for seven years, Liu Bei had certain feelings for Liu Biao and could not bear to seize Jingzhou's foundation.
But now Liu Bei has occupied the four counties of Jingnan, and even has Jiaozhou in his hands!
After obtaining the ticket to compete in the Central Plains, how could Liu Bei let Yizhou go?
Zhang Ren tried hard to persuade him to no avail, especially when faced with the eloquent Zhang Song, no one in Shu could surpass him in eloquence.
Zhang Ren had no choice but to go there in person. If he could kill Guan Yu at the banquet, he would be done!
What a pity, it’s not Liu Bei who’s here!
Zhang Ren was a man of rare courage and integrity, and was a native of Shu County, Yizhou.
It was precisely because of the existence of generals like him that the Yizhou faction could barely speak in front of Liu Zhang.
"General, Guan Yunchang beheads Yan Liang and punishes Wen Chou. I'm afraid we are no match for him."
Leng Bao persuaded softly.
"General, Guan Yu is an arrogant person. If you can deliberately provoke him and make him speak rudely to our army..."
Halfway through Huang Quan's words, Wang Lei said with a smile: "Our army can use this as an excuse to drive him out of Yizhou! There is no chance that the big-eared bandit will enter Sichuan again!"
While the four of them were discussing, they saw that Guan Yu had already led two young men into the military camp.
Guan Yu stood proudly and showed no fear in the face of Liu Zhang's troops.
Liu Feng looked stern but was worried. Although he tried to persuade Guan Yu to lead his men, he was scolded sternly.
Liu Mang, on the other hand, looked relaxed and sat down directly without paying any attention to Zhang Ren and others.
"I have heard that Liu Xuande is a clan member of the Han Dynasty and is famous throughout the world for his etiquette, loyalty and filial piety."
Wang Lei smiled and said: "Why are my people so rude!"
Liu Feng was overjoyed when he saw this, and deliberately said: "Brother, why don't you get up? Don't embarrass yourself in front of outsiders!"
Guan Yu frowned and said nothing, not sure what Liu Mang wanted.
"Etiquette, loyalty and filial piety are human nature."
"My father and Liu Zhang are from the same clan, and your lord is my uncle!"
"When you come to your uncle's house as a guest, do you have to be pretentious and imitate that hypocritical and shameless person?"
Liu Mang laughed and said: "So coy, others thought I wanted to take Yizhou!"
As soon as these words came out, Huang Quan and Fazheng changed their views on Liu Mang greatly.
With a few words, you can take the initiative into your own hands.
You Wang Lei said that I don't understand etiquette, so I just talked about family ties.
If Wang Lei persists in this matter, it would be a tacit admission that Liu Zhang and Liu Bei are not close enough.
At that time, even if Liu Bei attacks Liu Zhang, he will not bear the so-called reputation of seizing the same clan's inheritance.
Wang Lei secretly scolded Liu Mang for being cunning and had to suffer the consequences of being dumb.
Liu Beizheng lacks a reason to enter Sichuan, so he must not expose his flaws easily!
"Everyone, can I, Liu Changqing, sit here?"
Liu Mang looked at the officials in Shu, and Zhang Ren looked at him without any fear.
As the eldest disciple of the spear prodigy Tong Yuan, Zhang Ren defeated the invincible opponent after he left the army.
"Young master, of course you can sit down!"
Fa Zheng took a step forward and said with a smile: "Since the young master is my lord's nephew, coming to Yizhou is just like visiting relatives!"
When Meng Da saw this, he smiled and said: "Is this Mr. Liu Feng? He is indeed a talented person!"
Seeing the two lackeys of the Dongzhou faction speaking, Zhang Ren impatiently motioned for everyone to take a seat.
"General Guan, I don't know how many troops Liu Shijun has sent to attack Zhang Lu this time."
"Zhang Ren, my eldest brother is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. He is the uncle of the current emperor. You'd better call him Uncle Liu!"
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Ren, but he never sat down.
The rest of the people have all taken their seats, except for the main seat, which remains undecided.
Guan Yu obviously didn't intend to give in, and Zhang Ren was also eyeing him.
"Second uncle, come on, come on, take a seat quickly!"
Liu Mang smiled and said: "General Zhang, I am a guest from afar. My second uncle likes to sit here. Do you have any objection?"
Zhang Ren's eyes flashed fiercely and he said with a smile: "Master, as the saying goes, guests do as they please! This seat of honor should be reserved for the host's family!"
Liu Mang suddenly understood and said with a smile: "In that case, the chairman wants me to sit here!"
Guan Yu: "???"
Zhang Ren: "???"
Seeing the two people confused, Liu Mang smiled and said: "As guests do, the master of Yizhou is Uncle Liu Zhang!"
"My uncle and I share the same ancestry and are relatives of the Han Dynasty. Who among you is as close as I am to Liu Zhang?"
"The adopted son does not count! Who is in favor? Who is against?"
Guan Yu caressed his beautiful beard, but he didn't expect Liu Mang to use his status as a royal family member to turn against the guests!
When it comes to monarchs and ministers, naturally Zhang Ren is the main guest and Liu Mang is the guest.
But when it comes to blood relations, Liu Mang definitely beats Zhang Ren!
If you, Zhang Ren, insist on being the master, you will not recognize Liu Zhang's identity as the master of Yizhou.
Zhang Ren and Wang Lei felt the same way, especially recalling the letter Liu Mang wrote to Cao Cao!
I originally thought that it was written by Zhuge Liang, who wanted to make Liu Mang famous all over the world.
Now it seems that Liu Mang speaks well and has unparalleled eloquence, so he does not need help from others at all.
"Master Liu Mang, please take a seat!"
Zhang Ren bowed and saluted, he could not fall deeply into injustice.
Liu Mang was not polite and sat directly at the main seat, giving a clear view of everyone's expressions.
Zhang Ren, Leng Bao, Huang Quan, and Wang Lei, the four Sima-faced men, were obviously disturbed by themselves.
As for Fazheng, he smiled and nodded in understanding with Liu Mang, expressing his goodwill.
Meng Da was a cunning person, with a pair of evil eyes constantly staring at Liu Feng, as if he was thinking about something.
"Sir, wait a moment, I will discuss the recipe with Leng Bao!"
Zhang Ren looked at him and Leng Bao quickly walked out of the tent.
"I think Liu Changqing is more threatening than Guan Yu!"
"You might as well kill him while he's still young!"
"Leng Bao, you will act according to the opportunity and assassinate Liu Mang on the pretext of sword dancing!"
Leng Bao was a little stunned. Instead of killing Guan Yu, who was a famous general in the world, he instead killed Liu Mang, a young man?
"General...he is only fifteen years old...why should I do it?"
"Don't worry, I think Liu Feng has always complained that his two brothers are not getting along! This is your chance to take action!"
Leng Bao nodded in understanding, and the two returned to the camp again.
Yizhou is rich in products and the people are prosperous, so Zhang Renzhang prepared many delicious dishes.
After three drinks and five meals, Leng Bao finally stood up at Zhang Ren’s signal!
"Sir, just drinking wine is too bland and tasteless."
"I am Leng Bao, and I am willing to dance with the sword for you!"
Before Leng Bao finished speaking, Liu Feng stood up at the same time.
"It would be unbecoming for a general to dance alone! I would like to dance with the general!"
