In the past few days, Ba County Taishou Yan Yan sent many messengers to the county seat under his jurisdiction, as well as the surrounding counties and counties, to invite those colleagues to attend his birthday banquet.

Yan Yan is a famous general in Sichuan, and he is a veteran who followed Liu Yan very early, and in the process of pacifying Yizhou by Liu's father and son, Yan Yan has contributed a lot, which can be said to be indispensable. It is precisely for this reason that even if the Liu father and son don't like Yan Yan's character, they don't dare to do anything to him, even if they are sent to Jiangzhou to be the Taishou of Ba County, they also respect him.

Even Zhang Ren and others, who now hold power in Yizhou, also conceded three points to Yan Yan, and if there was no conflict, there would be no conflict. Therefore, Yan Yan's birthday banquet, anyone who was invited by Yan Yan did not dare to refuse.

In the past few days, officials from all over the country have gone to Jiangzhou with congratulatory gifts, and even Zhang Ren, Liu Bi, Leng Bao, and Deng Xian are also among the invitees. However, Zhang Ren has always been at odds with Yan Yan both externally and internally, and the reason why Yan Yan's jurisdiction is so narrow is that Zhang Ren deliberately built a bad relationship with Liu Zhang and established the Brazilian Army and the Padang Army to disperse Yan Yan's military power. handed over the Brazilian Army and the Badong Army to the hands of Liu Bi and Deng Xian, whom he trusted, respectively, as a force to restrain Yan Yan.

In Chengdu, in Zhang Ren's mansion, when Yan Yan's messenger handed Zhang Ren a letter inviting him to attend the birthday banquet, Zhang Ren only hesitated for a moment after reading it, and then said to the messenger: "Please tell General Yan on your behalf, the military affairs have been busy recently, and I have to report military affairs to the lord every day, and on the day of General Yan's birthday, I am afraid that I will not have time to attend." However, I will ask people to prepare a generous gift. Please take it back with you. Handed over to General Yan. And I would like to express my apologies to General Yan. ”

The messenger naturally didn't dare to say half a "no", after all, Zhang Ren was now in power, and except for Liu Zhang, only Zhang Ren could command all the Sichuan troops. The messenger just said "whoosh", and after waiting in the hall for a while, Zhang Ren's butler walked in from the outside and said respectfully: "General Qiyu, the carriage is ready!" ”

Zhang Ren nodded. He said to the messenger: "You go with the butler, the gifts are all in the carriage, and when you go back, you must convey my apologies to General Yan!" When he has free time, I will personally visit him to congratulate his old man. ”

The messenger was resigned, followed the housekeeper of Zhang's mansion out of the hall, and when he came to the outside of the mansion gate, he saw a carriage full of gifts, and couldn't help but sigh that Zhang Ren's shot was really generous. With the gift given by Zhang Ren, he went straight back to Jiangzhou.

Meanwhile. The messengers sent by Yan Yan also went to Leng Bao's mansion, but unfortunately Leng Bao was sent by Liu Zhang to go on a business trip, not in Chengdu, his wife met with the messenger, and when he learned that Leng Bao was invited to see Yan Yan's birthday banquet, he first apologized to the messenger, and then prepared a generous gift, asking the messenger to bring it back, and finally let his son Leng Sheng take a team of people to follow the messenger to Jiangzhou, instead of his father Leng Bao to congratulate Yan Yan.

In addition, after receiving Yan Yan's invitation, Liu Bi, the governor of Brazil, and Deng Xian, the governor of Padang, after receiving Yan Yan's invitation, because they were close to Yan Yan, if they were innocent and resigned, their faces were a little unreasonable, so the two of them decided to go to Yan Yan's banquet in private, and specially brought a generous gift.

The officials of the other counties naturally had no reason to refute Yan Yan's face, and they all brought gifts and went to Jiangzhou for the banquet in person.

The matter of Zhang Fei's occupation of Jiangzhou did not spread, and the news was also blocked by Yan Yan, and the Jiangzhou soldiers were loyal to Yan Yan, so there was no such thing as a leak at all.

Therefore, Zhang Fei's every move is impossible for the outside world to know.

Three days later, on Yan Yan's birthday, Jiangzhou was very busy, and Yan Yan's subordinates were responsible for greeting distinguished guests at the city gate, and sending the gifts sent by these people to the treasury and handed them over to the special care.

Yan Yan led his generals and personally stood at the gate of Jiangzhou City, greeting those who came to attend his birthday banquet. After a short time, I saw a group of people slowly coming from the official road, leading the two horsemen side by side, all wearing helmets and armor, their eyes as sharp as eagles and falcons, and they could even see through people's every move.

The three men walked at the front of the procession, followed by a long procession, and several carriages full of gifts followed, slowly walking towards Jiangzhou City.

"General, Liu Bi and Deng Xian are here!" The lieutenant general beside Yan Yan reminded.

Yan Yan looked at it, sneered, and said, "The two of them are finally willing to show up, by the way, who is the person behind Liu Bi and Deng Xian?" ”

The adjutant general looked at it and replied, "General Qiyu, that young man seems to be Leng Sheng, Leng Bao's son." ”

"Humph! Lao Tzu didn't come, but let the little one come, this cold bud is really a straw bag! Yan Yan said angrily.

For Yan Yan, writing to Zhang Ren, Leng Bao, Liu Bi, and Deng Xian is simply unprecedented.

In terms of force, among all the generals in Sichuan, no one is Yan Yan's opponent, but Liu Yan and Liu Zhang's father and son do not simply advocate force. In Liu Zhang's era, due to Yan Yan's character, Liu Zhang, in a fit of anger, listened to Zhang Ren's Jianyi, divided Ba County into four, and left garrisons around Jiangzhou, just to disperse Yan Yan's power.

Liu Zhang's most trusted person is Zhang Ren, but Zhang Ren is too conceited, and Yan Yan is not a fool, how can he not know what is behind this.

All those who followed Zhang Ren's close Leng Bao, Liu Xuan, Deng Xian and others became Zhang Ren's subordinates, which also made Zhang Ren's ambition gradually become bigger, and gradually began to form gangs, in just a few years, Zhang Ren took advantage of Liu Zhang's trust in him, in Sichuan, it can be said that he was calling for wind and rain, he and his henchmen, but also formed a party for personal gain, seeking violence, taking the opportunity to accumulate money, and also hit those talented young talents, making the brain drain in Sichuan Yan zhòng, the three generations of the old, middle and young seem to be about to catch up.

Yan Yan has a grudge against Zhang Ren, and is not very interested in Leng Bao, Liu Xuan, Deng Xian and others, but at this moment, Yan Yan must forget about his hatred and cooperate well, otherwise, his efforts will be wasted.

When Liu Xuan, Deng Xian, and Leng Sheng were about to arrive at the gate of the city, Yan Yan walked out of it and said with a smile: "The two generals can come, it is really gratifying to the old man, I have already asked people to prepare a banquet, so please let the two generals go in with me."
