What Liu Zhang is most concerned about is the news about Xichuan, which is also related to his strategic plan for the next few years.
Looking at Jia Xu nervously, Liu Zhang eagerly hoped to see Jia Xu nodding happily. Unfortunately, things did not go as expected, and Jia Xu frowned slightly!
"Lord, since the angels entered Mianzhu County to deliver the decree, Mianzhu County has been under martial law. No information can be found. Even the mobilization of soldiers and horses from various places bordering Hanzhong is very frequent."
It’s broken, and the thing you were most worried about happened.
Liu Zhang felt a chill in his heart. This was obviously a symbol of Liu Yan's refusal to hand over his rights. It is estimated that Baishui Pass and Jiameng Pass are now heavily defended!
"Why!"
Liu Zhang didn't say anything, just sighed heavily, showing a little helplessness and sadness.
"Lord, don't be so pessimistic. Maybe things will turn around."
Xun You tried to persuade him, although he knew that this might just be self-deception.
"Wenhe, is there any news about Xichuan in the past few years? Tell me about it, such as the previous Yellow Turban Rebellion?"
Jia Xu nodded, a lot of things had indeed happened in these years.
"As ordered, Ma Xiang of Yizhou rebelled under the banner of the Yellow Turban, which spread to the entire Shu County and Ba County, causing road blockage. Ever since Liu Fujun was appointed Yizhou Shepherd, he has been staying in the east of Jingzhou, waiting for opportunities."
"Ma Xiang was so bold that he claimed to be the emperor. He even broke through Luocheng and killed Que Jian, the governor of Yizhou. Later, Ren Qi and Jia Long, the wealthy people of Shu County in Yizhou, organized soldiers to fight back and put down Ma Xiang's rebellion. After Ma Xiang's death,
, Liu Fujun was welcomed into Yizhou by Ren Qi and Jia Long, and moved his seat to Mianzhu County."
These situations are exactly the same as those in history. Liu Zhang probably knew a thing or two about them, but he didn't look too surprised.
However, the process of history ended here. Because Hanzhong was occupied by Liu Zhang, Liu Yan was unable to fight against the Yizhou clan and form Dongzhou soldiers. This also made Liu Yan lose the confidence to dominate Xichuan.
"Ren Qi and Jia Long must be careful. They have prominent family backgrounds and great ambitions. They may be our formidable enemies in the future!"
Historically, Ren Qi and Jia Long eventually led troops to rebel against Liu Yan, but that was because Liu Yan recruited Dongzhou soldiers, which caused uneasiness among the Yizhou clan. Now that Liu Yan does not have the ability, will these two rebel again? Liu Zhang's heart
Not too sure either.
However, Liu Zhang hoped that these two people would rebel, which would give him a reason to raise troops.
"My lord, there is one more thing you need to do about your family."
"Family matters?"
Liu Zhang looked at Jia Xu in confusion, not understanding what this family matter meant.
"Mr. Liu Fu has taken in a new concubine."
"But Zhang Lu's mother, Mrs. Zhang?"
Now it was Jia Xu's turn to be shocked. He didn't expect Liu Zhang to even know this.
"Exactly! I didn't expect that the master's information is so well-informed!"
Liu Zhang didn't care about listening to Jia Xu's praise. This Zhang Lu was really a big trouble!
Zhang Lu's mother, like Zhang Lu, pretends to be a ghost all day long. I don't know whether Liu Yan really fell in love with Zhang or was deceived by the rumors of ghosts and gods!
"Wenhe, this Zhang family is not a good person. Zhang Lu is even more ambitious. Remember the Five Pecks of Rice Cult I talked about when we first arrived in Hanzhong a few years ago? The current leader is Zhang Lu!"
Jia Xu is very aware of this information, but he only learned the news recently.
"Yes, my lord is really far-sighted! Ever since Liu Mansion adopted the Zhang family, Zhang Lu has developed the Five Dou Rice Cult even more unscrupulously. Those who join the religion must pay five dou rice, so they are also called rice thieves!"
Liu Zhang was not afraid of fighting, nor was he afraid of attacking the city, but he was wary of Zhang Lu's Five Pecks of Rice religion. This rice thief had a very strong ability to confuse people! Once he was allowed to develop for a long time, it would definitely have a negative impact on Liu Zhang's rule.
threaten!
Historically, when Zhang Lu surrendered to Cao Cao, hundreds of thousands of people followed Zhang Lu to Guanzhong. There was no threat and they were all voluntary!
"This Five Pecks of Rice Cult must be eradicated. After returning to Nanzheng, let all the generals settle down their soldiers, and then immediately discuss the matter of Xichuan!"
Things are gradually going beyond expectations. If Zhang Lu is allowed to preach steadily for another four years, Xichuan may not know what will happen to him!
The faces of Jia Xu and Xun You were also very solemn. They knew deeply that Yizhou only needed one voice, and that was Liu Zhang's voice.
After a day of traveling, Liu Zhang finally stepped into the gate of Nanzheng City in the evening, handed all matters over to Jia Xu, and went directly to the governor's mansion.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Zhang was separated from his two beloved wives for nearly a year. It would be impossible to say that he did not miss her, especially during the six months of doing nothing in Luoyang!
Liu Zhang drove quickly through the county governor's mansion with ease. He wanted to go straight to the backyard and give his wives a surprise. Unexpectedly, Liu Yun and Cai Yan were already waiting for Liu Zhang's return in the main hall.
"Yun'er, Yan'er! My husband is back!"
When he saw the peerless looks of Liu Yun and Cai Yan, Liu Zhang truly felt the meaning of family.
It seems worth it to eat and sleep in the open, to engage in intrigues and to be in the company of swords, guns and swords all day long!
"Husband!"
The two girls hurriedly walked out and did not go directly into Liu Zhang's arms. Instead, they saluted Liu Zhang very solemnly.
"Haha, come on!"
Liu Zhang's thoughts were not bound by this era, and he did not have so much etiquette in his heart, so he directly opened his arms to welcome his wife.
"this..."
It was really embarrassing for ladies like Liu Yun and Cai Yan to hug each other publicly in public! The two girls looked at each other, and finally made up their minds, and they both threw themselves into Liu Zhang's arms.
Feeling the softness in his arms and the fragrance wafting from his nostrils, Liu Zhang completely put down his burden and abandoned all distracting thoughts in his mind!
What about Er Yuan, what about Dong Zhuo, what about Yizhou! Let them all go for the time being. Now Liu Zhang only has his two wives in his mind.
"Yun'er, Yan'er, you have lost a lot of weight these days."
Liu Zhang exerted slight pressure on his arms, and soon he could feel the body shapes of the two women. The two women, who were already slim, were now even more slender.
"Hmm...um..."
Sure enough, Liu Zhang just used a little force, and Cai Yan and Liu Yun couldn't help but hum.
"You can't do this, you should eat more!"
Liu Yun nodded obediently, but Cai Yan couldn't help but complain to Liu Zhang.
"Husband, you have been on the front line through life and death, how can we sisters get food..."
"It will be difficult for you to follow me..."
Liu Zhang gently stroked the hair of the two girls, feeling a sense of pity in his heart.
Ever since the second daughter followed Liu Zhang, they couldn't see each other all day long without talking to each other, and they had to travel from Luoyang, the capital, to Hanzhong, and they couldn't live a comfortable life!
"Husband, we are all very good! Yun'er can have Sister Cai with her every day, and she doesn't feel lonely at all."
"Yes! Fortunately, I have sister Yun'er as my companion, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do!"
Seeing that Cai Yan and Liu Yun's relationship was so good, Liu Zhang was relieved a lot. As long as the harem is not in chaos, I believe there will be no difficulties that can hinder Liu Zhang's progress!
"Come on, ladies! It's getting late, let's rest as soon as possible!"
Regardless of the objections of the two daughters, Liu Zhang picked up one in each hand and began his journey to happiness tonight.
