During the Eastern Han Dynasty, each state was also called the Supervisory District and had a Supervisory Yuan. The imperial court sent governors to the states to supervise local officials. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the states had become first-level administrative regions at that time, equivalent to today's provinces, but the area under their jurisdiction was larger than today's provinces.
Two days later, He Sian and his party finally arrived in Chengdu, the administrative center of Yizhou!
Early the next morning, He Sian proposed to visit Liu Yan, but Liu Zhang prevented He Sian from meeting Liu Yan on the grounds that his father had been in a coma for many days and was not in a suitable state to entertain guests.
In desperation, He Sian had no choice but to move in under Liu Zhang's arrangement. In the following days, the people who had the most contact with He Sian and his party were Liu Zhang and Liu Xun, father and son. These two accompanied He Sian all day long, drinking, having fun, and touring the mountains. Shui, as for the alliance, he did not mention a word. When He Sian asked, he only said that he would discuss it after Liu Yan recovered. Zhang Song was arranged by Liu Xun to go to Guanghan County to help with some official affairs, which made He Sian vaguely feel in his heart. There was a hint of uneasiness, but fortunately Jia Xu privately told him to let nature take its course and everything would be arranged.
"Brother Sian, why do you drink so much again!" Niu Niu took the staggering He Sian from Zhou Cang's support, then looked at Zhou Cang and Jia Xu beside her, and said reproachfully: "You don't care. Tube!"
It seemed that He Sian had drunk too much, and He Sian staggered slightly. Seeing this, Jia Xu hurriedly supported him and took the opportunity to stuff a letter into his arms.
He Sian's eyes narrowed, but he quickly recovered! He glanced at Jia Xu casually, waved his hand and said, "You guys go down first! I'm fine."
When Jia Xu and Zhou Cang walked away, they turned around and said to Niu Niu with a silly smile: "Oh! Don't blame them, uncle drinks more than me. After all these years of wandering around, it's still better here, with wine and meat, and good health." There is such a wonderful man as my uncle! I think it would be better to bring my father-in-law here and live his whole life in peace?"
"Okay, okay, it's all up to you!" Niu Niu responded casually while helping He Sian into the inner house.
"By the way, where are those books that uncle sent during the day? Come and get them with me. I didn't expect that my uncle was so knowledgeable!" He Sian's voice came faintly from the bedroom.
"You're still watching after drinking so much! Okay, okay, I'll get it for you!"
The candlelight flickered in the house, and a few bright lights fell on the dark courtyard. A big tree leaned against the bedroom, blocking most of the moonlight. At this time, in the dense canopy of trees, two men in black were listening. One of them whispered: "It seems that His Highness is nothing more than that, but he is quite similar to the eldest son." The other gave him a stern look. With a look in his eyes, he whispered: "Master, don't take it lightly until something big happens."
"What?!" He Sian's exclamation came from inside the room, interrupting the conversation between the two of them. The two of them stopped talking and listened.
"Hey, since we are here in Tiankui, let's just concentrate on reading!" The two of them looked at each other and thought, as expected, His Highness and the eldest son have the same hobbies.
After a while, He Sian's voice came from the room: "I won't read anymore. My head hurts. Let's take a rest."
"Okay!" As the candlelight went out, everything returned to silence. He Sian held his family in his arms, his eyes wandering, and his mind could not help but recall the content of the letter, and he could not calm down for a long time.
'Liu Yan pretended to be ill and had a big plan! 'When I saw this sentence, He Sian's two life experiences made him exclaim! After calming down, he continued to look down.
'Originally, he planned to use his illness to draw out the Yizhou clique that was dissatisfied with it, and wiped it out in one fell swoop. Then he clung to key points such as Zitong and Luocheng and proclaimed himself emperor. But the appearance of His Highness gave him a better choice. Firstly, it speeded up the time for him to attack the Yizhou Clan. Secondly, after holding His Highness hostage, he could order the Hanzhong Army. Zhang Song's plan should have been exposed, but there is no need to worry. As the saying goes, when the snipe and the clam compete, the fisherman benefits. Now that he is aware of his plot, and looking at the game between the Yizhou Army and the Dongzhou Army, His Highness can just be a fisherman with peace of mind and act according to the original plan in three days. '
The letter ends here. Judging from the handwriting, it is somewhat similar to what Jia Xu wrote. After all, He Sian was an emperor in this life and could not avoid the guidance of famous teachers. Therefore, it can be seen at a glance that this letter is not written by Jia Xu. Hand, and Jia Xu always calls himself his lord, but the title "His Royal Highness" is quite intriguing. Who could this be? Except for Jia Xu, there are only a few people under him who can take charge of the overall situation, and they all have important matters.
Xu Shu defends the military capital, Yan Pu has outstanding internal affairs and lacks strategy. Zhao Yun is too young. As for Xu Rong, Zhang Yan, etc., they are good at commanding troops, but strategy... wait, strategy? ? Could it be...
The scrawny middle-aged man appeared in He Si'an's mind. Thinking of this, He Si'an let out a long sigh. If this person and Jia Xu secretly took over the overall situation in Yizhou, it would not be 100% successful, but at least it would be considered a 100% certainty. But now that he is here, nothing will happen to Liangzhou... Thinking of this, He Sian, who was originally relieved, frowned again.
Our protagonist, He Sian's worry, is not unreasonable, because at this moment, in the corner of Jia Xu's house, you can vaguely see a few bits of burned paper ashes, and this is the letter Li Ru wrote to Jia Xu. In the pavilion outside the courtyard, Jia Xu looked north, his eyes seemed to be able to travel thousands of miles away. After a long time, he let out a long sigh and murmured to himself: "Yuanzhi, Fengxian... you must hold on..." The words were inaudible, and then he walked into the house, the candles were extinguished, and everything fell silent.
In the next three days, He Sian and his party, accompanied by Liu Zhang, recited poems, composed poems, drank and had fun as usual. It seemed that nothing had happened, but the four-door martial law in Chengdu made many people feel that a storm was coming. Maybe Liu Zhang was the only one who didn't realize it, or he didn't want to think about it. Because in He Sian's eyes, even the gloomy Liu Xun had the word "absent-minded" on his face, and only Liu Zhang was still enjoying it.
"If he really acted it for me, he would definitely be worthy of a movie star, and he could even play the role of a fish-selling boss in the future," He Si'an complained in his heart.
Different from the calm in Chengdu, Yizhou was already filled with smoke at this time.
Jiange Road is the only way for merchants traveling between Hanzhong and Zitong on weekdays. The mountains on both sides reach straight into the sky, and the mountain walls are smooth and steep. There are two passes on Jiange Road, one is 'Jiange', which is close to Zitong, and the other is 'Fushui Pass' which is close to Hanzhong. At this time, at Fushui Pass, two teams of people on the pass and one on the pass are confronting each other.
A man who looked like a general waved behind him, and then everyone put down their bows and arrows. The general calmed down and shouted to the people below: "I am Gao Pei, the guard of Fushui Pass. Who is facing me? Why are you attacking Yizhou?" "
The leader of Guanxia drew his horse forward, raised his hands and said: "It turns out that this is General Gao Pei, and I am Zhang Heng of Hanzhong. There was a rebellion under my command just to welcome the Wudu governor who was a guest in Chengdu."
Fushui Pass is close to Hanzhong. Naturally, Gao Pei has heard about the civil strife in Hanzhong. It is said that it was caused by the rebellion led by someone from the Yang family in Hanzhong. However, as Liu Xun's favorite general and arranged for him to guard the gate of Yizhou, although he did not know about He Sian His true identity, but he also understands that he is definitely not as simple as he appears! Gao Pei pondered for a moment and looked down at the soldiers who could not see him. He estimated that there were more than ten thousand people. He snorted coldly and muttered in a low voice: "You need such a big formation to pick up people? I think you are picking up people." It’s false, but taking Yizhou from me is true!”
Then he waved to the guards around him and whispered in his ear: "Go to Chengdu quickly and tell the Guanghan County Sheriff the truth about the situation here so that he can make a decision." Then he turned to the people below and said: "I have sent someone Inform Mr. Zhou Mu that General Zhang can go back to Hanzhong and wait, and we will escort him back to Hanzhong at that time!"
"Since General Gao has informed Mr. Zhou Mu, we will wait here for the good news." Regardless of Gao Pei's darkening expression, he turned around and ordered the troops to withdraw to places where bows and arrows could not reach, set up camp, bury pots and light fires to cook meals. .
