People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 298 A big gift
Shu County, Chengdu!

In a temporarily vacated house, Liu Yan was sitting on the bed, half-closed his eyes, with a haggard face. Since he fled to Chengdu, he seemed to have lost his vigor, and he was in a daze from time to time, unable to react for a long time.

Liu Zhang was by his side, and personally fed food, soups and medicines, filial piety and charity are commendable, but this did not make Liu Yan better.

At this time, a maid came in, saluted respectfully, and said:
"My lord, Pang is engaged in asking for an audience!"

Liu Zhang looked at his father, as if he hadn't heard anything, he was stupid and didn't respond, so he got up, saluted and said:
"Father, I'm going out to meet Pang for work!"

Hearing this, Liu Yan opened his eyes, and his momentum changed instantly. He looked at Liu Zhang, and then said:

"Let him in!"

When Liu Zhang heard that Liu Yan finally spoke, he quickly turned to look at the maid:

"Please come in Pang!"

The maid didn't dare to hesitate, so she turned around and left immediately. After a while, there was a sound of hurried footsteps. Pang Xi walked very fast, and walked in a hurry. When he entered the room, he first looked at Liu Yan, and then at Liu Zhang. Hesitation flashed in his eyes. This was bad news, but he had to say:
"Ming Gong, Dong Fu opened the gate of Mianzhu City, Mianzhu surrendered without a fight, Liu Yu and Li Yao have led their troops to Luo County, very close to Chengdu..."

Liu Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he became anxious and fell backwards straight.

Liu Zhang and Pang Xi were all shocked, one left and one right rushed forward, hurriedly helped Liu Yan up, both anxious and frightened, the two kept talking:
"Father!"

"Ming Gong!"

After a long time, Liu Yancai woke up quietly. After waking up, he shouted angrily:

"Dong helped me! Dong helped me!! I shouldn't have trusted him, I really shouldn't have trusted him..."

Liu Yan ran to Chengdu because Mianzhu was too close to the enemy. As a result, now that Zitong has surrendered and Mianzhu has surrendered, the enemy has already reached Luo County.

The letter I wanted to send to Nanzhong asking for help had just been sent out. Liu Yu and Li Yao had once again been overwhelmed by the army. Can he still run away?He has nowhere to run!
Seeing this situation, Pang Xi could only comfort him:
"Ming Gong, Luo County and General Wu Yi, he is different from Dong Fu, he and Ming Gong are related by marriage, and will definitely fight the enemy to the last moment!"

"Wu Yi, Wu Yi..."

Liu Yan repeated the name, and his face recovered. Luo County is the last strong city in Guanghan, and it must still buy a lot of time:

"Send people out of the city, recruit strong men, collect food, speed up the construction of fortifications, and make arrangements immediately. I am a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and I don't want to treat the people so roughly. This is the end, and Chengdu must not be breached!"

Liu Yan is so guilty and afraid, naturally there is a reason for it. After all, he is in the treasury in Mianzhu. He has a complete set of emperor's clothes, emperor's car and... But he can swear that he has never worn it once, and he has never used it once.

Even if it is all burnt down now, I still regret, fear, and worry in my heart. It will not only be death, but even in the history books, it will leave the name of usurping and usurping.

Pang Xi's heart trembled when he heard the words. This will inevitably leave a bad name. Recruiting strong men and expropriating grain is easy to say, but if you change the term, arresting strong men and robbing grain, this can be well understood.

Without the help of the local aristocratic family, the strong men are recruited easily, and the food is easily collected. Now the aristocratic family in Shu County has a very ambiguous attitude. Although they are all fine on the surface, they are quite resistant secretly.

Seeing that their situation was gone, and the family of Shu County were all up for sale, Pang Xi was secretly annoyed, but he also felt helpless. After a little hesitation, he immediately cupped his hands and said:

"As ordered!"

After finishing speaking, Pang Xi turned around and walked out of the house. Now that his brows were imminent, he had to make full preparations before the army came under his control.

Liu Yan watched Pang Xi leave, then turned to look at Liu Zhang, sighed and said:
"Zhang'er, I asked you to come to Chengdu. I want you to win over the family of Shu County, to favor the family of Shu County, and to use the power of the family of Shu County to recruit an elite army of Shu soldiers. Unfortunately, it's too late, time is running out..."

Liu Zhang lowered his head and said guiltily:

"The child is incompetent."

Liu Yan didn't scold or reprimand, it's not Liu Zhang's fault, Liu Yan just sighed, not knowing what will happen to their father and son in the end, thinking about it, Liu Yan was in a daze again, becoming stupid.

Liu Zhang was terrified. He grew up under Liu Yan's wings. To put it mildly, he has a kind and gentle disposition. To put it bluntly, he has a cowardly disposition.

After Liu Yan died, he became the new Lord of Yizhou not because of Liu Zhang's ability, but because of his harmlessness, which was recognized by both the local faction and the Dongzhou faction.

Two generations of heroes of the Liu family, Liu Yan, Liu Zhang, Liu Bei, and Liu Chan, were all weak sons, and died in the second generation. Liu Bei took Yizhou from Liu Zhang, and was finally returned by his son Liu Chan.

Time, fate!
Just after today, Liu Yan's Dongzhou soldiers were mobilized, not rushing to the front line to fight, but arresting young men and robbing food. In the process, it was bound to be accompanied by more acts of disturbing the people, looting property, and humiliating women... more and more.

At the same time, in the Zhang residence!
Zhang Su, Zhang Song, these two brothers sat facing each other, Zhang Su's face was heavy, he looked at Zhang Song with a wry smile and said:

"Thanks to Ziqiao, I can see that Liu Yan has bad intentions. Otherwise, our Zhang family in Chengdu will surely encounter a catastrophe this time. Moreover, Liu Yan's Dongzhou soldiers are committing crimes everywhere, causing people's resentment to boil. He, the Yizhou shepherd, has done his best!"

Zhang Song was not surprised, now that Liu Yan was cornered, if he could attack the people today, he would be able to attack them tomorrow, so he had to take precautions early.

So Zhang Song said very seriously:

"Brother, when the imperial army comes, Liu Yan will definitely do more crazy things. We need to prepare early. If he sends troops to force us to send servants to fight in the city, it is very likely that we will be implicated!"

Hearing this, Zhang Su's heavy face became more and more heavy. Liu Yan had no kindness to him, and he didn't need to repay him. At this time, he only wanted to protect himself and his family, so he said directly:
"What's Ziqiao's plan? After all, Liu Yan still has an elite Dongzhou soldier in his hands. If we really want to use force, it will be difficult for us to resist..."

Zhang Song seriously thought about the countermeasures. On the one hand, he had to be prepared early; on the other hand, he also wanted to give Li Yao a big gift, so that Li Yao could remember himself.

He is unwilling to stay in Yizhou, how can he become the opponent's confidant as soon as possible, so as to be reused by the opponent, now is an opportunity:
"Don't worry, brother, I've already thought of a plan..."
