who? Yu Fan?
Yu Fan, the troll who contradicted Sun Quan several times, wanted to whip Jiang Yujin, ridiculed Mi Fang, called Zhang Zhao a dead man... He performed countless feats and was almost killed by Sun Quan, and was eventually exiled to Jiaozhou?
What would happen if this person were under Liu Feng? His confused head and Liu Feng's blood pressure will definitely explode...
Liu Chan wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth, a little suspicious that Old Liu was joking: "Yu Fan is an upright person, and he doesn't know how to speak politely. He often denounces his colleagues and even his superiors... With my brother's temper, is it necessary to assign such a person to him? Cause big trouble?”
Unexpectedly, Lao Liu smiled and waved his hands and said: "Although Yu Zhongxiang was indeed a bit mean to the surrendered generals, he always made fun of Yu Jin every time he saw him. He often scolded Yu Jin and left in shame and anger, so that now that Lao Yuan has seen him, he has to take a detour.
"As for others, except for the disagreement with Shangshu Yang Yi, I have never had any conflicts with others during the period of following the military advisor. Moreover, he is knowledgeable and quick in thinking, and is highly valued by the military advisor. He often told me that Yu Zhongxiang's talents are not limited to the counties. , just makes up for your brother’s shortcomings.”
Good guy, how long has he been here, and he is sarcastic about the ban, and he is not on good terms with a minister? Isn't this enough?
Liu Chan felt that he was very worthy of his historical evaluation.
"It's better to listen to what the military advisor has to say about this matter before it's too late to make a decision. You go to visit your mother, and later go to Da Sima's Mansion with your father to discuss matters."
Liu Chan resigned as promised and went back to the hall to visit Mrs. Wu.
The mother and son have not seen each other for a long time. When faced with his mother's nagging inquiries and worries, Liu Chan patiently answered and comforted her with kind words.
Although she is still worried and worried, her mother's condition is indeed much better this time than before. It seems that she is finally getting used to leading troops in battles outside.
While doting on her son, Mrs. Wu also understood the general situation and took the overall situation into consideration. She only told her son to be careful and silently supported her, but she never interfered with his behavioral decisions.
After a brief farewell to his mother, Liu Chan followed Lao Liu to Da Sima Mansion.
This time there were major changes in the three counties, which required joint discussion between the monarch and his ministers, but they were limited to high-level officials such as Shangshutai and military advisor Zhuge Liang. Shangshu Lingfazheng was ill and absent.
At the meeting, Liu Chan detailed the situation of the three counties again.
When everyone heard about the danger, they sometimes exclaimed in surprise, and sometimes shouted in admiration.
Only Zhuge Liang smiled and remained calm.
To him, it was normal for Liu Chan to do this, and others had even expected it when they received the first battle report in Chengdu.
Then Liu Chan ordered the five prisoners to be brought up.
After a few people greeted them, Liu Bei first turned his attention to the Shen brothers and Meng Da: "Huh, I ask myself, I have not treated you harshly. You don't want to repay me, but want to betray me for glory! What else can I say now?"
Shen Dunton said: "I only hope that the king will be kind and leave the incense of the Shen family."
Shen Yi next to him also paused and said nothing.
They colluded with Cao Wei and almost killed Liu Bei's two sons in the three counties. They knew that the matter had come to this, and it would be useless to talk more, but would easily offend him.
It is better to directly plead for mercy. Liu Bei is kind and may not kill them all.
"Your crime cannot be pardoned. After you parade through the streets tomorrow to declare your guilt, you will be beheaded in public."
The Shen brothers trembled, but this was expected.
"As for the other tribesmen, according to the prince's previous arrangements, they will continue to farm and dig for gold to pay for your sins."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" The two of them nodded again. It was lucky for them that the Shen family was not completely killed.
But Mengda was obviously not satisfied with this ending.
He straightened up, took a few steps forward with his knees, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, all of my ministers were deceived by the cunning lobbyists. In addition, the Shen brothers were powerful in the three counties, and they threatened each other with their power. Confused. I often feel ashamed that I have no assistants inside and no generals outside..."
As he was talking, a person behind Zhuge Liang suddenly said: "How can you serve the emperor if you have lost your loyalty and trust? Since you have surrendered to Cao Cao, who are you professing to? Since you feel that you have no talent, why don't you die early."
Liu Chan raised his eyes and saw that it was Yu Fan whom he had not seen for a long time.
Meng Da was suddenly scolded and was stunned for a moment. He turned around and said angrily: "Who insulted me?"
Yu Fan had no fear and stood up and said: "I am the commander of the army, Shi, Yu Fan and Yu Zhongxiang."
Meng Da sneered: "Oh, who am I talking about? It turns out to be a dog from Jiangdong. You also serve the two masters, so what is your face and talking nonsense here?"
"I am a minister of the Han Dynasty, not a slave of Sun Quan's family. Sun Quan secretly communicated with Cao Wei and betrayed his alliance to sneak attack on the king. This person has no loyalty and no justice. This person has lost the integrity of a Han official and is unworthy of others." Yu Fan raised his hand in the direction of Liu Bei. , "I surrendered to the great king, but I abandoned the small details and followed the big ones. If you want to help the Han thieves usurp the rebellion, you are a villain, how can you compare it with me?"
"You!" Meng Da felt a breath stuck in his chest, almost unable to hold his breath back, but he was struck speechless again and couldn't think of any words to retort.
The three companies are actually pretty much the same, so why are you no better than me?
Or is it that Cao Cao is not a usurper, but also a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty?
... As long as he opens his mouth, no matter what he says, it will perfectly anger Liu Bei, and he will no longer be able to live.
"Zhongxiang, let him finish." Liu Bei did not rebuke Yu Fan, but instead persuaded him with a gentle smile.
Liu Chan also looked at Yu Fan with admiration. Who said he could only troll people? Look at these few words, Lao Liu is so praised that he can almost see his molars...
When Liu Ba heard Meng Da's words, he still looked dejected. At this time, he shook his head and said: "Since you have surrendered to Cao Cao, you must die for your loyalty. Now that you have been defeated and captured, why don't you curse loudly? Go to death generously? If so, it can be regarded as a model for surrendering to Cao Cao."
Liu Ba's words of "resigning Cao Cao to guide teaching" made everyone roll their eyes.
Meng Da was also speechless. You really think I died too slowly!
Ignoring Liu Ba's teaching, Meng Da opened his mouth to speak, but got stuck...
"What do I want to say?"
Upon seeing this, Liu Bei waved his hand: "Since I have nothing to say, just plead guilty and be executed, and take him down."
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please spare my life..." Meng Da, who was dragged away by the soldiers, cried out in fear and kicked his legs wildly. His look of fear of death was despised by everyone.
After dealing with the rebel generals, Liu Bei looked at Xia Houshang and Xu Huang again.
He had already gotten angry with Liu Chan before, and knew that his son was interested in recruiting the two of them, and so was he himself, so he asked with a smile: "Two generals, do you want to abandon the small details and follow the big ones?"
Xia Houshang clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Shang accepts your kindness. However, in addition to the loyalty of people and ministers, we also need the righteousness of all brothers, and we dare not betray each other."
When Liu Bei heard this, he did not try to persuade him anymore, but nodded and praised: "It is really rare for a general to value justice so much."
After saying that, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help him up: "I heard that the general still has concerns, so I will stay in Chengdu to wait for good news."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Liu Bei finished speaking, he turned to Xu Huang, who was also an old acquaintance and had a close personal relationship with Guan Yu: "Gongming, what do you want?"
"...Loyal ministers do not care about the two masters. I have accepted Duke Xuande's wishes."
"General Gongming, is he Wei Chen?"
Xu Huang: "..."
Seeing that he turned away and didn't answer, Liu Bei didn't press him any further and ordered his men to take him down and hold him temporarily.
…
Afterwards, the meeting continued. Everyone heard about the changes in the structure of the three counties and that the families in the three counties were willing to abide by the law. They once again refreshed their evaluation of the prince in their hearts, and they all expressed their praise.
[Zhuge Liang’s favorability +2] (93)
"You are finally willing to like me!" Liu Chan couldn't help complaining in his heart.
Just now when he was talking about how he defeated Cao Jun, Uncle Zhuge's favorability was not even affected, which really made him a little powerless.
After reaching 90, Uncle Zhuge's favorability increased extremely slowly, even harder than that of Lao Liu, and it finally increased by 2 points.
Lao Liu mentioned that he wanted to send Yu Fan to assist Liu Feng and asked Zhuge Liang what he thought.
Zhuge Liang thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "This is a very good move, Your Majesty."
Liu Chan looked at him in shock.
"The king just needs to warn General Liu not to hurt him with words. I think it will only take a few years for General Liu and the three counties to undergo great changes." Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan slightly, looking very confident.
It seems that the only thing that will explode first is Liu Feng's blood pressure.
"I hope this change will not turn my brother into a loser. Take care..." For this strange combination, Liu Chan could only silently send his blessings in his heart.
Afterwards, in addition to the development and changes in Yizhou and the promotion of Quyuan Li, people from Shangshutai also talked about the latest situation of Nanzhong.
The Yong family sent people to contact many local forces in Nanzhong, and among them, Gaoding, the king of Yi in Yueqi County, Zhu Bao, the governor of Xianggang, and the powerful Meng Huo, all had frequent contacts with him, and it seemed that a big move was brewing...
