Upon hearing the news, all the civil and military officials who were about to stand up and leave sat down one after another.
There is news from Mianzhu? Doesn't that mean Liu Yan has something to convey to Liu Zhang?
War or peace? Whether we will take over Yizhou smoothly or seize Yizhou by force will be decided soon.
"Please come in."
Not long after, a young man dressed as a scribe was brought in.
"Shi Yangbai, the commander of Guanghan County Governor, pays homage to General Wei."
Liu Zhang was secretly surprised, he didn't expect it to be him!
"Yang Changshi, you're welcome. I wonder who entrusted Yang Changshi to come here?"
Yang Bai raised his hands and saluted again, the etiquette was very thorough.
"Reporting to General Wei, Yang Bai came here under the orders of Yizhou Mu Liu Fujun."
"What's the matter?"
Hearing what Liu Yan meant, Liu Zhang couldn't help but become nervous, with urgency in his voice.
"Mr. Liu Fu has received the imperial edict and hopes to hand over the position of Yizhou Mu as soon as possible. Mr. Liu also said that he hopes General Wei will go to Mianzhu as soon as possible so that Mr. Fu can return home as soon as possible to take care of himself."
As soon as Yang Bai said these words, everyone was instantly shocked, even Liu Zhang's eyes widened.
"Did my father really say that?"
Yang Bai nodded heavily, his expression extremely serious.
"That's right, Mr. Liu Fu said that only General Wei can eliminate traitors. Mr. Liu hopes that General Wei can assist His Majesty in the future and restore the glory of the Han Dynasty as soon as possible!"
Is it really God's will? It takes no effort to find it even though it's hard to find anywhere.
Just now we were discussing how to advance the army, but so soon we got the news that Liu Yan was going to give up his position as state pastor!
"Okay, please go back and tell Yang Changshi to tell my father that I will set off for Mianzhu in a month."
Yang Bai was very happy to hear the news and bowed to Liu Zhang again.
"I'll go back and report to Lord Liu!"
Unexpectedly, Yang Bai was about to leave, so Liu Zhang quickly offered words to persuade him to stay.
"Yang Changshi has worked so hard, why not stay a few more days? Then Liu Zhang can express his gratitude!"
Yang Bai waved his hands repeatedly, looking flattered.
"General Wei is so polite! Liu Fujun is waiting for your reply, Yang Bai won't delay! I also ask General Wei for your support in the future!"
"Easy to say, easy to say!"
Liu Zhang stood up and walked Yang Bai to the door before saying goodbye reluctantly.
"Yang Changshi, take care along the way!"
"Thank you, General Wei. I'll take my leave!"
Yang Bai thanked him again and again, then turned and left. But just after taking a few steps, he heard Liu Zhang's shout.
"Yang Changshi, please stay!"
Yang Bai turned around and looked at Liu Zhang doubtfully.
"I wonder what else General Wei has to do?"
"It's okay, I just want to ask who the governor of Guanghan County is now. How can he be assisted by such a capable person as Mr. Yang Bai!"
Yang Bai was just a little person. He didn't expect to be praised by Liu Zhang, and he was extremely happy at the moment.
"General Qi Wei, the current governor of Guanghan County is Zhang Lu."
Liu Zhang smiled and nodded, and bid farewell to Yang Bai again.
"Yang Changshi, take care!"
"General Wei, I promise, I'll take my leave!"
Yang Bai quickly turned around and left, as if he was afraid that Liu Zhang would call him back again.
Liu Zhang sneered and returned directly to the house. At this time, all the generals had already stood up to congratulate him.
"Congratulations, my lord, on succeeding to the position of Yizhou Mu!"
Liu Yan was willing to hand over his rights. Although there was no war for the time being, these generals were also happy for Liu Zhang from the bottom of their hearts.
There are no immortals in a war. It would be great to take over Yizhou peacefully!
"Haha, when I truly take control of Yizhou, I will definitely reward you heavily!"
The civil and military personnel under his command worked hard, and Liu Zhang naturally could not be stingy with rewards. After taking over Yizhou completely, there would be countless official positions that could be awarded!
"Thank you, lord!"
"Okay, Wenhe and Gongda will stay here for a while, and the others will leave first."
Everyone surrendered one after another, and soon only Liu Zhang and three others were left in the room.
"Wenhe, Gongda, what do you two think?"
When Liu Zhang left the two of them behind, Jia Xu had already guessed what Liu Zhang was thinking.
"Lord, isn't this something worth being happy about?"
Liu Zhang could sense Jia Xu's playful tone, but Liu Zhang was not in such a mood at the moment.
"Wenhe, the situation in Yizhou is unclear. What is there to be happy about? Do you know that Yang Bai is Zhang Lu's confidant! You don't know who Zhang Lu is, right? How can he be so kind and send his troops?
Your important ministers are here to deliver the message?"
Liu Zhang felt that if Liu Yan really wanted to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy, he would definitely not let Yang Bai come.
"That's why I congratulate my lord!"
Liu Zhang frowned, not understanding what Jia Xu was talking about.
"Wen He, stop beating around the bush, my head is going to explode!"
Jia Xu picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Liu Zhang.
"Don't be anxious, my lord. You can drink this tea first to relax your mood."
Liu Zhang had no intention of drinking tea, but Jia Xu kept holding it up, and Liu Zhang could not deny his face, so he could only pick it up and drink it in one gulp.
"Huh... Wen He, can you say it now?"
Jia Xu shook his head, picked up the teapot again and filled it for Liu Zhang.
"My lord, tea must be pure. Drinking it in one gulp will lose the meaning of tasting it."
If he hadn't known that Jia Xu would not make fun of him, Liu Zhang would have been angry a long time ago. Now he could only be patient and drink tea quietly while enduring all the doubts.
However, as he drank tea more and more slowly, Liu Zhang's brain did calm down.
After drinking a few drinks, Liu Zhang suddenly felt a flash of inspiration and instantly understood Jia Xu's intention.
"Wen He, do you want to take this opportunity to start a war directly?"
Jia Xu nodded, and then immediately shook his head.
"My lord, you have to be clear about one thing. It is Zhang Lu who is plotting against us, and he wants to do harm to my lord. My lord is only using troops to protect himself!"
Jia Xu's words were like a blow to the head, knocking Liu Zhang awake.
"Wen He, have you known Zhang Lu's conspiracy for a long time?"
Liu Zhang looked at Jia Xu in disbelief. If it was true, this would be terrible. How did Jia Xu know that the abdication was false and the murder was true?
"I don't know whose conspiracy it is, but I know there must be a conspiracy in it. The edict has been delivered for half a year, why did Yang Bai choose to deliver the letter when his lord returns? Why is there no movement in Mianzhu? All this is too much
It’s abnormal. When all the abnormalities are added together, the result will definitely not be normal!”
"Then I really think there will always be only one. Everything is a conspiracy."
Liu Zhang couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Jia Xu, and once again expressed his admiration for him!
Why can't I think of it? I can only rely on my feelings and can't find any basis for facts!
Liu Zhang also knew that something was wrong, but he just couldn't figure out where the key point was. But how could such a major military matter be dealt with by feeling?
"Lord, there is a problem right now. You must be mentally prepared..."
