Chapter 688: Liu Yan and Liu Zhang

Liu Yan's character Junlang, also known as Junlang in the book, is also known as a member of the Han family.

Because of the wanton accumulation of Yizhou assassin Shi Xuanjian in Yizhou, greed became a trend, and the world was in turmoil at that time, Liu Yan wanted to obtain a place to settle down and divide one side. So Liu Yan asked the imperial court to be the Mu of Yizhou, the Marquis of Yangcheng, and went to Yizhou to rectify the rule of officials.

And because of this, Liu Yan had the opportunity to enter Yizhou.

At the beginning, Liu Yan put forward a major proposal to the imperial court that affected the history of the Three Kingdoms, that is, to use the clan and important ministers as the state pastors, to override the assassin history and the Taishou in the local area, and to monopolize the power to stabilize the people.

The imperial court adopted this suggestion, but the result was the formation of warlords in various regions, and the state ministers, including Liu Yan, were basically no longer under the control of the imperial court after taking office.

Therefore, in Liu Wei's view, this warlord has such a deep foundation, and this Liu Yan is undoubtedly one of the culprits.

At that time, it could be said that it was the end of the Han Dynasty, and the politics were corrupt, and the reason why Liu Yan asked for his life to go to Yizhou was just to avoid chaos and then have the opportunity to divide one side.

And this Liu Yan was indeed open-minded, at that time, Liu Yan went to Yizhou smoothly for himself, and then had the opportunity to divide one side.

He left all his sons in the capital as Neiying, Liu Fan, Liu Dan, and finally the youngest son, Liu Zhang.

Therefore, Liu Wei knew that what Xu Shu said about Liu Zhang was actually not the most qualified person to inherit Yizhou, and this was not wrong.

And in fact, this is indeed the case, from the ancient times the young and the young were orderly, in this sense, Liu Zhang did not have the opportunity to inherit Yizhou.

He has two brothers, and it's hard to get to him even if he is in line.

Liu Yan was able to become the earliest warlord of secession, and after he became the ruler of Yizhou, he took control of real power.

So there is no such thing as Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang's mother does not have anything outstanding.

It is recorded in history that the two brothers, Liu Fan and Liu Dan, followed Ma Teng and wanted to attack Chang'an, but things failed.

So Liu Fan and Liu Dan died like this.

And in this way, Liu Zhang, who can't even line up, will become the only heir.

But this is not the case here, it is true that Liu Fan and Liu Dan, as well as Liu Zhang, have indeed been hostages in the capital.

But since he escaped from Luoyang, he was headed by himself at that time, and Liu Xie in Dong Zhuo's hands.

Two Han courts were formed, and in this way, the right to speak must be greatly weakened.

Liu Yan was able to enter the Yizhou secession party with the earliest attitude, and he was obviously not an incompetent person.

So Liu Yan seized the opportunity to write to Dong Zhuo and asked Dong Zhuo to put the person back.

Liu Yan has already become a force to divide one side, and Yizhou can reach out to Xiliang.

His name is not right, of course Dong Zhuo doesn't want to force Liu Yan in a hurry, so Dong Zhuo generously let people go.

Naturally, there is Liu Yan pretending to be sick and then leaving Liu Zhang behind, and there is no such thing as Ma Teng taking Liu Fan and Liu Dan brothers to attack Chang'an.

But the fact is that there is still such a coincidence, as if God is destined to be Liu Zhang's in Yizhou.

In 194 AD, that is, the first year of Xingping, Liu Yan fell ill and died, and not long after, Liu Fan and Liu Dan also died.

The reason is also death from illness, what is said to the outside world is infectious diseases, who was infected, needless to say, it is Liu Yan.

When he first heard the news of Da He He, Liu Wei was also stunned, but he thought that Yizhou was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he was also in trouble at the beginning.

So Liu Wei chose to ignore, what can I do if I don't ignore it?

There is no way to get involved in the affairs of Yizhou.

"As far as I know, this Liu Fan and Liu Dan are both sick and dead, who needs my help?"

Liu Wei recalled the information of Da He and the historical information in his mind, and then looked at Xu Shu and asked.

Now Liu Zhang is the pastor of Yizhou, and Yizhou has been in his hands for five years.

Even if he doesn't admit it, now that Liu Zhang has a stable foothold, what can he do to help.

"Yes, both of them are dead, but they didn't die of illness."

Xu Shu first nodded, then shook his head and said.

"Didn't you die of illness?" Liu Wei was a little surprised, after all, this was the case with the news of the big man at the beginning.

Although he did not check again, he did not distinguish the real from the fake.

Because the sense of existence of the two brothers Liu Fan and Liu Dan is too weak, not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, it is not uncommon for people with serious infections to die quickly.

So in addition to not having time to doubt, he didn't doubt it either.

Moreover, the evaluation of Liu Zhang in history is also very simple, cowardly and suspicious.

Therefore, he didn't think that Liu Zhang would have the courage to kill his own brother, and Liu Zhang would not do such a thing.

If Liu Zhang was really so ruthless, it would be impossible for him to say that he would lose to Liu Bei in the end.

At least it won't be lost so quickly, and it will end up as a surrender.

"Yes, the brothers Liu Fan and Liu Dan did not die of illness, they were killed by Liu Zhang."

Xu Shu looked at Liu Wei and said, Liu Zhang killed Liu Fan and Liu Dan, two brothers, naturally it is impossible for him to announce to the public that he killed his brother.

In this case, then he is going to betray his name and kill his brother, then he is ignoring ethics.

If such a person rules Yizhou, then it will definitely not be possible to convince everyone.

So Liu Zhang must find a good excuse.

"Is this true?" Liu Wei still asked with some disbelief.

After all, the portrayal of Liu Zhang's image in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was cowardly and incompetent, which impressed him too much.

"Naturally, it's serious, although Liu Zhang has done a hidden job in this matter, but if people don't know unless they do it, they will naturally leak the news."

Xu Shu nodded with certainty.

Liu Wei saw that since Xu Shu was so sure, he knew that Xu Shu would not be able to deceive himself.

Now Xu Shu is doing things under himself, and it's not that Xu Shu entered Cao Ying without saying a word.

Xu Shu naturally has no reason to lie to himself, rather than lying to himself, it is better not to mention this matter.

"It seems that my opinion of Liu Zhang is about to change."

Liu Wei then said lightly.

"What did Your Majesty think of Liu Zhang?" Xu Shu was stunned and asked.

"Cowardice." Liu Wei replied directly without concealment.

But soon Liu Wei understood that if Liu Zhang was not as incompetent as he was in history.

So why is Liu Zhang's image left behind to be incompetent.

I'm afraid this is another typical example of success and defeat.

If Liu Zhang is not so incompetent and useless, how can he show that it is a righteous move for him Liu Bei to take the land of Yizhou.

Such a move is helpless, but it conforms to the will of heaven and the people.

So Liu Zhang may have been belittled, as for Cao Cao, why didn't they turn over the case to Liu Zhang.

It is estimated that it is very simple, Liu Zhang is not so incompetent, but he lost to Liu Bei, he lost Yizhou, and fulfilled Liu Bei.

For Cao Cao, Liu Zhang was naturally incompetent, and Liu Bei became his great enemy.

So such a person, if he is incompetent, he is incompetent, and it has nothing to do with him Cao Cao.

Sun Quan and Liu Bei are allies again, so it is impossible to tear each other down too much.

So it's not impossible.

Liu Wei couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seems that fixed thinking is sometimes misleading.

If Xu Shu doesn't talk about this matter today, I'm afraid that my opinion of Liu Zhang will always stay in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

In this case, if you want to benefit the state later, you will have to suffer a big loss.

"Yuan Zhi, who is the person you said asked me to help, tell me quickly."

Liu Wei looked at Xu Shu and began to ask, and now he is even more concerned about the matter of Yizhou.

If it is an undetermined place today, Yizhou is one, this is the place where Liu Bei made his fortune.

What this means, what it means, how much potential the place is.

If you don't know more about it and see if there is an opportunity, I'm afraid that I really don't know what will happen in the end.

"Your Majesty, the people are already outside, and the minister will bring them in immediately." After Xu Shu finished speaking, he turned around and went out.
