Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 212 Li Hui Trapped
After entering the city, Liu Chan's subordinates have been in good agreement after the previous running-in. After a brief explanation, Wei County's follow-up work will be carried out in accordance with the "Central Model".

However, unlike Cunhou, there is a big family in Wei County—the Huo family.

Compared with the Yong and Meng families, they can only be regarded as vassals, and they don't even have the right to talk with the Yong family on an equal footing. But for other families in Yizhou County, they can also be regarded as behemoths.

Liu Chan, who had already figured out the situation in Wei County, immediately sent troops to raid the Huo family.

At this time, the old man in brocade who was kneeling in front of Liu Chan indignantly was Huo Tu, the Patriarch.

"You can't do that! Nanzhong, barbarians and Han live together, and the relationship is intricate. If you want to pacify Nanzhong, you can't do without my Nanzhong clan!" The old man was bound and spitting.

Liu Chan picked out his ears indifferently and yawned.

Seeing Liu Chan's indifference, the old man thought that he hadn't figured out the crux of the problem: "Don't you still expect those uncivilized barbarians to be subdued?

"Believe it or not, today your army withdraws from Nanzhong, tomorrow they will kill officials and rebel if they disagree with each other? Only we can control them! Whether Nanzhong is chaotic or peaceful, we all need to wait for the big clan of Nanzhong!"

"Oh——" Liu Chan nodded as if suddenly enlightened, and raised his eyelids, "Then what advice does Mr. Mister have?"

Seeing this, the old man thought he had successfully grasped Liu Chan's weakness, and calmly shook the rope tied around his body: "So, that's how to treat guests... Oops!"

Qian Duo next to him couldn't take it anymore, a big foot kicked the old man's reserved face and kicked him.

"Old man, I'll give you face back! If you dare to speak like that again, I'll take your jaw off!"

Liu Chan helped him up and said, "Hey~ Patriarch Huo is old, how can he treat him like this, look, his face is dirty."

Snapped!
After a loud voice, Huo Tu's left face immediately turned red and swollen.

"Look, this is much cleaner." Liu Chan was smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes, "Are you sober?"

Huo Tu was confused by that kick and slap, he never thought that he would be treated like this.

Officials with flowing water and powerful families with iron fists have always been like this in Nanzhong.

Rather, the whole world is like this. He thought that even if Liu Chan's army entered the city, he would be treated with courtesy.

So when a group of soldiers rushed into the house and tied him up, the old man Huo was very angry. He secretly thought that Liu Chan was young and didn't know the rules.

The old man really has a heart of educating his nephew, and wants to teach this young and impulsive prince a lesson, teaching him what the real rules of the world are.

In the end, he was beaten...he was actually beaten!

Yong Kai didn't dare to beat him like that!
Seeing the anger and confusion in Huo Tu's eyes, Liu Chan was disappointed, and his face turned cold: "Can your Huo family be on an equal footing with the Yong family?"

The old man froze for a moment, then subconsciously shook his head.

"Yong's Gu family doesn't matter, who gave you the guts to teach Gu to do things?" Liu Chan shook his head, "I thought you were defeated by this, and your Huo family could see the situation clearly. I didn't want to be so stupid. Back then Are you pleasing the wisdom of the Yong family?"

The reason why he still called the old man over was because he considered the process of the Huo family's fortune, and thought that the old man would be a grass-roots figure with a flexible bottom line.

Personally speaking, Liu Chan is very disgusted with the grass that has a flexible bottom line, but he is not too disgusted by the thinking of a superior.

This is also an intermediate force that can be fought for, and sometimes it is quite critical. As long as you use it well and ensure that you are the most powerful party, the loyalty of the wall is beyond doubt.

Because they are loyal only to strength.

It turned out that the old man couldn't figure it out at all.

Huo Tu didn't think so. His previous experience made him firmly believe that Nanzhong was the Nanzhong of a local rich family, and it would be difficult for outsiders to effectively control this place.

So he bowed his head and listened to the Yong family, but lacked awe of Liu Chan.

But at this moment, he can also see that Liu Chan is not interested in his proposal at all, and even has murderous intentions...

"...The old man is rude, it is the old man's mistake. But my Huo family has been rooted in Wei County for many years, if you want to govern..."

"You don't even want to be called lonely prince." There was even a little pity in Liu Chan's eyes, pity for fools.

Liu Chan, who had completely lost interest, waved his hand: "The Huo family helped the evildoers and the Yong family to bring chaos to Nanzhong. This is an unforgivable crime! The chief culprit will be executed immediately, and the rest will be imprisoned for future punishment."

He was actually right. Liu Chan's governance of Nanzhong is still inseparable from the big surname, but the problem is... isn't your Huo family the only one?
Even if you are really the only one, can I help you?It's not those famous families who can exert influence on officials and scholars all over the country, they really use themselves as dishes.

As for the treatment of the Huo family, Lao Liu has never been barbaric in his life. In the last Han Dynasty, only the lonely and arrogant Wei Yan was punished by his rival Yang Yi. Liu Chan didn't want to make a start in his hands.

Moreover, these are all free labor, let these nobles and ladies who were originally high above experience what labor is the most glorious.

It might be a beautiful thing for them to wield their hoes and weave cloth for the food and clothing of the people in Nanzhong...

"I know I'm wrong! Prince! Please forgive me, I know I'm wrong..."

Qian Duo grabbed the old man's collar and walked out of the house. His miserable wailing gradually faded away, followed by a tooth-piercing sound of knives chopping bones and flesh, and it was completely silent.

Liu Chan bowed his hands to the surroundings and smiled apologetically: "The subordinates are ignorant, and they actually executed the law in the courtyard, which surprised you all. Now that the culprit has been punished, let's talk about Wei County..."

It turned out that there were still big merchants, small and medium-sized landlords, and large livestock farmers in Wei County sitting around. These people could not compare with the Huo family, but they were an indispensable force for the operation of Wei County.

"Don't dare not dare, this old thief bullies goodness, bullies men and women, bullies superiors and inferiors, deceives... Cough, in short, the crime is extremely heinous, the prince is doing it for me, and for the people of Nanzhong to eliminate a great harm! I can't wait to be grateful!" A fat man in brocade clothes kowtowed profusely.

Regardless of whether the Huo family did these things or not, they have them now, and they must.

"Exactly! The Huo family's crimes are heinous. The prince came here to uphold justice for us. I am very grateful. As for the affairs of Wei County, it is up to the prince to order."

"It's all at the prince's command!"

Liu Chan smiled and said: "Everyone understands the truth and righteousness, and is very lonely. When the Huo family's property is investigated and returned to the people, I will not forget you. If you are loyal to the Han Dynasty in the future, the King of Hanzhong will not treat you badly. wait."

"Thank you Prince, thank you King of Hanzhong!"

……

After taking down Wei County, Muma and Tongse both surrendered.

As long as the officials and petty officials are not direct descendants of the Huo family and the Yong family, Liu Chan will continue to serve, and Zhang Yi will be the top leader in charge of the affairs of the three counties.

Zhang Yi, who has been Jiangyang Ling for a long time, is familiar with the road and is more than competent.

The army was temporarily stationed here, and Liu Chan patiently spread his favor and won the hearts of the people while waiting for the news of Meng Huo's army.

Three days later, Hu Li, who commanded the cavalry and scouts, finally brought news of Meng Huo.

"Prince, the spies sent by Yu Muma discovered a large army coming from the west. The army consisted of many cavalry and many foreign races. It must be Meng Huo's barbarian army!"

"Oh? What is the strength of its army, and how far is it from Muma?"

Hu Li silently calculated for a while and replied: "The army mostly travels in the mountains and forests. The specific strength is unknown, but at least it should be no less than five or six thousand people. At this time, it is estimated that the distance from Muma is at most two days."

Liu Chan got up and clapped his hands: "Okay! I was afraid that he would not come to fight, so I ordered the army to gather and go to the east bank of Tushui to ambush."

"Yes!"

To the east of Muma, Tushui passes from north to south, which is a good place to ambush.

"Prince!"

The two were talking, when Qian Duo suddenly ran in, but his expression was not very good.

"Why panic?" Liu Chan frowned, could it be that the main force of the Yong family also came at the same time?

"Prince, Wang Meng sent someone to send news that Li Hui and his son persuaded the Cuan family to help each other, but the Cuan family went all out to send troops from Yu Yuan. One generation has been surrounded by the army of the Yong family!"

Liu Chan: "..."
