Chapter 716

Yizhou, Chengdu.

Yizhou was originally a wild land, and it didn't belong to China at the earliest time. Later, with Sima CuO's expedition to Shu in Qin Dynasty, Shu was classified into China. At the beginning, Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty took Sichuan as the foundation and sent troops to attack the three Qin Dynasties. Therefore, he attached great importance to Bashu. Especially since Li Bing, the prefect of Qin Shu County, dug the Dujiangyan, ten thousand mu of good farmland in Chengdu Plain has been irrigated, which can be called the land of abundance.

The Yellow turban rebellion caused unrest in the eight prefectures of the Han Dynasty, but Yizhou was rarely seen with yellow turban thieves. On the one hand, Yizhou's path was not convenient, and the Taiping Road was difficult to preach. On the other hand, the people here lived a rich life. Those who rebellious had no way to live. So they started the army and had a good life in their families. Who would like to do the job of killing their heads?

Liu Yan fought yellow turban in Youzhou. Exhausted, Liu Yan applied to Yizhou as a patriarchal clan. After years of stability in Yizhou, Liu Yan died. Before his death, he gave the important task of Yizhou animal husbandry to his young son Liu Zhang.

Living in the land of abundance, he was rich in clothes and food all day long. He was usually sitting or lying down. However, today, he was standing in a sweat. From time to time, the Chamberlain next to him stepped forward to wipe away the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

Liu Zhang only felt a pain in his knee. He could not help but asked Wang Lei, the servant beside him, "when will the angel arrive?"

Wang Lei saw Liu Zhang's sweating face. Although he could not bear it, he still advised him: "state shepherd, according to the report, the angel is about to arrive. Please bear it again."

Liu Zhang sighed and stood still, waiting for the angel from Luoyang.

Liu Zhang, who was rich in clothing and food, had not suffered much from childhood, but now he has to do it. Since the end of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yan, who occupied Yizhou, did not care about the imperial court. We can see from the fact that he instructed Zhang Lu to attack and kill Su Gu, the governor of Hanzhong. In fact, the imperial court sent envoys to Hanzhong and was killed by Liu Yan's secret order Zhang Lu. It can be seen that Yizhou is arrogant and despotic.

But today, different from the past, Liu Ye rose with the momentum of strengthening the Qin Dynasty, and occupied Guanzhong. He stepped on both sides of the Yellow River and established the son of heaven in Luoyang. His army was more than 100000, which made him shake the world.

Liu Zhang's character was originally weak, so he didn't dare to offend Liu Ye. So when he heard that Luoyang angel was coming, he went out of the mansion respectfully and waited.

When Liu Zhang and others were impatient, he suddenly rode out and yelled, "the angel is coming!"

Liu Zhang, Wang Lei, Zhang Ren, Zhang Song and other civil and military officials in Yizhou bowed down to worship one after another.

"See the angel."

The angel is the messenger of the son of heaven. Pursuing the will of the son of heaven is just like the son of heaven. Although his position is not high, Liu Zhang and others dare not neglect it.

Before and after, dozens of riders galloped to the scene, all of them dressed in armour, with tiger's back and bear's waist, and their back bows and swords. All of them were in high spirits. But in the middle of them were surrounded by a mount of Confucianists. They were not short, and they were eight feet tall. If they had not been wearing Confucian long clothes, others would have regarded him as one of the guards of Huben.

This man is no one else, but the eldest son of Sima family in Hanoi County, Sima Lang, whose name is Boda. His father, Sima Fang, was the chief historian of the imperial book. He had eight sons, known as Sima bada. Sima Lang, the oldest, was called to serve as shangshulang in the palace. He was ordered to go to Chengdu to announce the imperial edict.

With a smile on his face, Sima Lang jumped off the horse's back with the help of Huben guard and arched his hand slightly.

"I've met Liu Yizhou and a group of Yizhou heroes."

"Don't mention it, shangshulang. Please come in quickly." Liu Zhang laughed.

"Yes, the state shepherd has arranged a banquet in the hall and invited the angels in." Wang Lei also said.

"It's easy to say, but before that, an imperial edict must be announced." Sima Lang's facial expression gradually became serious.

He took out an imperial edict from his sleeve, unfolded it gently, and said solemnly, "listen to Yizhou Mu Liu Yan!"

"The emperor ordered Zhang Lu to separate Hanzhong from Hanzhong. He fooled the people with evil tricks and supported tens of thousands of soldiers. The emperor was furious and ordered general ye to send out troops from both sides, raising 150000 troops to attack Hanzhong. Yizhou and Hanzhong have been linked since ancient times. They ordered muzhang of Yizhou to send a large army out of the maming plank road and raided Zhang Lu. After the attack, the bandits' army of Keding will be here! "

Sima Lang handed the imperial edict out and said in a loud voice, "Liu Yizhou, take the order."

"Minister, receive the order."

Liu Zhang quickly stepped forward, took the imperial edict from Sima Lang's hand, put it in his sleeve, raised his head and said with a smile to Sima Lang: "the angel has come from afar. It's really hard. The lower official has prepared the wine and vegetables in the hall, and invited the angel to come in."

"Good to say."

Sima Lang laughs and walks into the hall accompanied by Liu Zhang, Wang Lei and Zhang Ren. Liu Zhang took Sima Lang's hand and walked into the hall. He and Sima Lang sat on the throne together. Dozens of Huben guards had their own arrangements. In addition to several people standing behind Sima Lang, the rest of them went to the side room.

"Come and come, angels seldom come from afar. I'd like to propose a toast to them." The king of Shizhong held his cup.

"Wait a minute."

Sima Lang threw the wine in his cup to the East. The wine was immediately sprinkled on the ground and said, "I'd like to respect your majesty first.""Yes, yes, your majesty first, your majesty first." Liu Zhang nodded in a hurry, followed by Sima lang. a group of people raised their glasses to Luoyang before drinking.

"Knowing that the angels are coming, the cooks in the prefecture's special residence of animal husbandry have to deal with more dishes. Please taste them."

There are so many dishes on the table. Sima Lang is a rich family in Hanoi. But it is the first time I see such a luxurious dish, I can't help but be a little surprised.

In order to entertain Sima Lang, Liu Zhang brought up all kinds of fine wine and rare dishes. Although Sima Lang was surprised, he did not lose his demeanor. Many Yizhou civil and military men nodded secretly. They were worthy of being angels. It seems that the imperial court has indeed been revitalized.

"Hehe, it is said that the general's army has promoted 150000 King's division to attack Zhang Lu. With the invincible ability of the general and the sharpness of the 150000 Wang division, Hanzhong is only afraid to go down overnight, for fear that Hanzhong will be conquered before Yizhou army arrives." Wang Lei said with a smile.

Sima Lang said solemnly: "the imperial court is invincible in sending troops, but it takes time to recruit a large army, but the gap between Ba and Shu is very short. Is it difficult for Yizhou army to March so slowly?"

Sima Lang's words already had the meaning of reproach, and Liu Zhang quickly explained: "ha ha, Wang Shizhong just admires the talent of the general, but he has no other intention. Please rest assured that our Yizhou army will cooperate with Wang Shi to attack Hanzhong and serve the imperial court. "

Hearing this, Sima Lang nodded with satisfaction.
