Although Liu Yan sacrificed a lot of face and put in a lot of effort for Liu Bei's reputation back then.
But now Liu Bei is famous all over the world, and he who is not good at writing or military is now famous all over the world.
If Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei hadn't found him, Liu Yan would never have planned to travel to the Central Plains again in his life...
When Liu Bei and Zhuge Kongming found him, they brought one of Liu Chan's letters.
Liu Yan still remembers the above content.
"I was alone in Jiangdong visiting the wise men. I once heard that Cao Wei from Shanyang had heard that Jiangdong was claiming vassal status and wanted to bribe Cao Wei's ministers with money and silk.
This set off a rebellion in the rear to disturb the foundation of the Cao family.
Jiang Dong didn't pay any attention to this, but felt that Cao Wei was an arrogant person.
But Wei Xi also caused such a big stir back then, and this person may also be capable of Wei Xi..."
Liu Chan didn't write much about these things, but fortunately Liu Bei had many capable people under his command, so he could see the opportunities here.
The matter between Cao Wei and Sun Quan is no secret in Jiangdong, which is destined to make this person unable to succeed.
But in Kong Ming's eyes, he is also useful.
Therefore, he and Liu Bei found Liu Yan together, and hoped that Liu Yan would follow Chen Zhen as an envoy to Nanyang this time, and personally go to Luoyang to invite Luo Tong's mother back.
This matter is not difficult for Liu Yan, and it can even be said that a slightly famous person can do it.
But the other thing Zhuge Liang asked him to do was very difficult...
At this time, in the study room of Zhong Yao's mansion, the servant looked around, and then whispered to Liu Yan beside him.
"Sir, don't worry, we have already delivered the money and silk to Cao Wei, and also handed Cao Wei over to Cao Zhi, the king of Juancheng.
Now Cao Zhi...has let him enter Luoyang. "
"Isn't this person a liar?"
After Liu Yan heard that the plan went well, he did not relax at all.
On the contrary, there was one thing that was always on his mind at this time, and that was whether what Liu Chan said in his letter was reliable.
He doesn't understand Liu Chan, and it can even be said that he doesn't want to understand Liu Chan.
From beginning to end, he was interested in Duke Xuande, who had not changed his mind after living in the Central Plains for decades.
And Liu Chan... Although he was Xuande Gong's biological son, in Liu Yan's eyes, he and Xuande Gong were too far apart.
So from the beginning to the end, he never trusted Liu Chan, and naturally he never trusted the words in Liu Chan's letter. He only felt that His Highness was just messing around.
If Duke Xuande hadn't told him personally, he wouldn't be here today.
Even though he had found Cao Wei of Shanyang now and saw Cao Wei following their plan step by step, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
He wondered...whether this Shanyang Cao Wei was a liar hired by His Highness to defraud money!
As for why Liu Chan did this, Liu Yan had never thought about it. He just simply didn't trust his highness and looked down upon him.
Seeing Liu Yan's weird expression, the guard behind him finally couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then slowly and softly spoke to Liu Yan.
"Don't worry, Mr. Wei Shuo, this Cao Wei... has always had a reputation as a virtuous person. Someone once called him the same name as Wei Xi..."
"Oh, they're just two troublemakers!"
After hearing these words, Liu Yan's heart dropped a little, but he still sarcastically refused to admit defeat.
At the same time, Liu Yan put down the bamboo slips in his hand and walked to the open window. Looking at the setting sun, his face became serious.
"Time is running out... Zhong Yao has made it clear to me today.
If it continues to be delayed, wouldn't I really become a shameless person?
Since Cao Wei has some reputation, let him do it faster..."
Liu Yan kept staring at the slowly sinking sunset, but did not dare to express the sigh in his heart at all. He could only pray that everything would go smoothly.
In Luoyang City, undercurrents soon began to surge.
As Cao Pi left for longer and longer, some changes finally occurred in the court.
Cao Pi has done very well in recent years, but... he has not done so well.
Some people have been secretly criticizing that Cao Piwen is not as famous as Cao Zhi, and his martial arts is not as good as that of Cao Zhang, who is a famous general in the world.
And with Cao Pi's torment towards his family members, especially his brothers, the strange woman who helped Cao Mengde overcome the difficulties, Cao Wei's current Queen Mother Bian finally seemed to be unable to sit still.
There have long been rumors that there have been more than one quarrels between the Bian family and His Majesty, for Cao Wei's clan and for His Majesty's brother.
Even for the sake of His Majesty’s biological son!
But in the end, it seems they all broke up on bad terms...
During this period, because of the departure of His Majesty, and because he did not leave behind a qualified prince, he did not even leave an explanation.
As a result, a name appeared again in the court.
Cao Zhi, King of Juancheng!
No one knows when this name started to appear, but from one day onwards, the name of Juancheng King Cao Zhi suddenly became loud in the streets and alleys of Luoyang City and in the various government offices in the court.
There are celebrities and imperial students who miss the talent of King Juancheng, and some ministers in the court are talking about how free and easy King Juancheng was when he was the prince of Wei.
Some people say that actually King Juancheng was the one who deserved the throne back then. After all, he had the support of two aristocratic families in Jizhou and Guanzhong...
These words began to spread casually.
Some people have understood it, but some people have begun to follow the crowd, not knowing whether they haven't noticed it or pretending not to notice it...
Accompanied by the hustle and bustle of rumors from all walks of life, Liu Yan finally bid farewell to Zhong Yao, and slowly left Luoyang City with Zhong Yao's extremely embarrassed expression.
It seemed that everything in Luoyang City had nothing to do with him.
And he really wasn't worried about whether Zhong Yao would stop him. After all... When the name of Juancheng King Cao Zhi appeared again, the most nervous person was none other than the man who had been involved in Wei Xi's major case. A fish that slipped through the net!
Also with the emergence of rumors in Luoyang, Zhuge Liang's final step was also completed.
In Nanyang County, Liu Chan led thousands of soldiers and horses to fight all the way. Under the leadership of Deng Zhi and Ma Zhong, they fought consecutively, broke through several city passes, and headed straight for Wancheng where the defense was empty and the people were absent. .
Even before they went to Wancheng, the rumors in Wancheng had already started.
"Back then, Nanyang colluded with Guan Yu to plot rebellion. Now Guan Yu and Hou Yin have both died in the battle, but the massacre of Wancheng cannot calm Cao's anger.
Cao Pi has said that he will make the people of Wancheng pay the price forever..."
