Yizhou Taishou Mansion.

"Ziyuan, look at this." Liu Yan asked the servant to hand over a few letters to Wu Yi.

Wu Yi took it, took it apart, and his expression suddenly became solemn.

"It's really strange that Zhu Cheqi, Yuan Jizhou and Gongsun Bogui actually revised the book again and tried their best to endorse the deer." A black line appeared on Wu Yi's forehead. The three important ministers and princes wrote a letter to the Yizhou Mansion at the same time, showing that someone was pushing behind the scenes, striving to resolve the dispute in Ba County as soon as possible, and Wu Yi secretly complained in his heart.

Wu Yi was the representative of the Yizhou government and was responsible for negotiating with Kong Lin on the Ba County issue.

Recently, the Yizhou government has shown unprecedented sincerity in negotiations, hoping to solve the problem as soon as possible, and Wu Yi has borne the brunt of the proposal, successively proposing to let Zhao be the county guard in another place, and Sanfenba County. On the surface, Wu Yi has done a lot of work and efforts to solve the Bajun problem, but these efforts are actually realized under the promotion of Liu Yan, which is the embodiment of Liu Yan's will, and Wu Yi just did what the executor should do. If any Yizhou official takes over this matter, the Ba County dispute will move forward, but it is only a matter of how fast it progresses.

Soon after Zhao refused to serve as a county guard, Wu Yi proposed the idea of dividing Ba County, and used this as an opportunity to loosen the negotiation deadlock. Wu Yi has made an important contribution to breaking the situation, and now the negotiations are stuck in the specific distribution link of Sanba, and the outside world generally believes that it is Liu Yan who is unwilling to compromise on the side of Yizhou Mansion, but in fact, the person who is really secretly obstructing the passage of the agreement as soon as possible is not Liu Yan, but Wu Yi himself.

As the supreme manager of the Ba County negotiations, it was too easy for Wu Yi to influence the negotiation process. When reporting to Liu Yan, saying a few words with a tendency was enough to make Liu Yan have the idea that "it is not advisable to compromise easily" and "the other party must admit defeat first", so that Liu Yan can say what Wu Yi wants him to say. The more Liu Yan's trusted subordinates, the easier it is to do this.

No one would have thought that Wu Yi, who was actively promoting the negotiation process, had been secretly mixing sand.

Wu Yi did this out of selfishness.

Someone contacted Wu Yi and used enough chips to make him tempted in exchange for the Wu family to deal with Zhulu Ling. The Wu family was born in a wealthy businessman, and in the long history of the family, they have long been accustomed to solving problems with scheming, rather than violence. With Wu Yi's status and influence in Yizhou Mansion, there are many ways to deal with a player's territory, even if it is a famous and powerful domain like Zhulu Ling, Wu Yi is sure that he will gradually suffocate the other party without moving.

The biggest obstacle is that the deer is in Ba County.

Ba County and Yizhou Mansion have long torn their faces, and they are incompatible, and it is difficult for Wu Yi to exert influence in Ba County. What's even more troublesome for him is that the relationship between Bajun Taishoufu and Zhululing is unusually close. The Wu family assessed that it was basically impossible for Zhao to accept dirty private transactions and secretly betray the interests of the deer leader.

There are some things that money can't buy.

Zhao Bu is in Ba County for a day, and he can enjoy the protection of the state capital for one day.

Zhao must be allowed to leave!

It happened that Liu Yan felt external pressure some time ago and realized that it was necessary to resolve the Ba County dispute as soon as possible, and the interests of the Wu family were highly consistent with the interests of the Yizhou government, so Wu Yi began to be active and full of brainpower.

Changing places for the sake of guarding, not interfering in the military and political affairs of the jurisdiction, plus a five-year guarantee period, what a sincere condition!

Dissatisfied?

Want to stay in Ba County......

It's okay, it's all about three bars!

Wu Yi's goal was to get Zhao to leave Ba County and cut off the protective umbrella provided by the local government for Zhulu Ling. His proposal succeeded in impressing the Zhao Ministry, and according to the division plan he proposed, the Zhao Bu would not choose the area where the Zhulu Leader was located anyway, and Wu Yi vaguely saw the dawn of victory.

Until Zhao Bu proposed, three points of Ba County, Yu Buzhi accounted for a share.

When he heard the news, Wu Yi almost vomited blood and died.

He did so many things conscientiously, and tried every means to transfer Zhao Bu, just to remove the strong reinforcements of the Zhulu Ling, after all, the forces that were looking for him to cooperate had already sharpened their knives, and the wolves around the Zhulu Ling were around, just waiting for the Zhao Bu to leave, the wolves could pounce on it, and strive to destroy the first capital of the world in a war. Although Wu Yi was reluctant to let his family's private soldiers participate in the war and try to clear the obstacles for his collaborators, he was still very dedicated.

But the condition for Zhao Bu to leave was to let Yu Buzhi become a prince, which made Wu Yi crazy.

Can you say yes?

Of course not!

If you agree, it is equivalent to being an enemy, and Wu Yi will not do such a stupid thing.

Yuan Shao, Zhu Jun and Gongsun Zan spoke for Zhao Bu, urging the dispute in Ba County to be resolved as soon as possible, and Yu Buzhi had a relationship with Liu Yan. Wu Yi did not know about it, but informed Liu Yan as soon as possible, and skillfully used skills to make Liu Yan make a decision to wait and see, delaying the solution of the Ba County issue.

At first, he actively promoted it, but now he is secretly making a hindrance, and when he thinks about it, Wu Yi himself is a little ridiculous.

"So many important ministers speak for Yu Buzhi, what does Ziyuan think?" Liu Yan asked.

"Those adults have stretched their hands too long, this is Yizhou." Wu Yi was expressionless, pretending not to understand what Liu Yan meant, and led the topic to the aspect of jurisdiction, hoping to arouse Liu Yan's disgust.

He knew very well that Liu Yan was dissatisfied with the interference of foreign forces in Ba County, and it was taboo to interfere in internal affairs, and the strength and status of the interferers were far superior to those of the county magistrates. Liu Yan is a powerful state pastor from the clan, and his background is above Zhu Jun, Yuan Shao and others, if it weren't for the decline of the Han family in recent years, and the power of the clan is relatively restrained, under normal circumstances, Liu Yan can ignore the lobbying of Yuan Shao and others, and get impatient, and it is not surprising to directly fool the other party.

Liu Yan frowned slightly.

The Ba County issue has been fermenting for so long, and one after another important ministers and princes have clearly expressed their opposition, which greatly surprised Liu Yan's expectations, and he was very disgusted at first, but as time went by, he had already adjusted his mentality, and even began to reflect on the state government's negligence and inadequacy in dealing with the Ba County issue.

Liu Yan's biggest realization is that the Han family has accumulated shortcomings for many years, the country is broken, the wind and rain are shaking, and the clan can no longer be as unscrupulous as it was in its heyday. Mastering Yizhou, the means were too ruthless, leaving no room for action, and abandoning it to the meritorious ministers of the state, which finally aroused the heart of Zhao Bu to resist to the death, and let the external forces find an excuse to interfere in the affairs of Yizhou, and the lesson can be described as painful.

Liu Yan is worthy of being a mature politician, and after realizing his own problems, he resolutely decided to calm down the incident as soon as possible to avoid giving foreign forces any more room to do their own thing. Although Liu Yan was a little dissatisfied, the Zhao Department only accounted for one-third after all, and the power was seriously weakened, and the Zhulu Lord had the possibility of fighting for it, and this result was not unacceptable to Liu Yan. If Wu Yi hadn't sworn that Zhao might give in if he dragged on for a while, Liu Yan would have ended this troublesome matter a long time ago.

For the Yizhou government, the most important thing to do now is not to annoy external forces for interfering, but to end it quickly. Wu Yi is still entangled in the fact that outsiders "stretch their hands too long", obviously missing the point. However, Liu Yan trusts Wu Yi very much, after all, he is a representative of Dongzhou Shi who entered Yizhou with him, and he is dissatisfied with outsiders' interference in Yizhou, which can be regarded as loyal to him, and it is not unacceptable that there is a slight deviation in his vision.

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Yan didn't pay much attention to the problem of Wu Yi's vision, and reminded quietly: "Don't mention whether your hand is stretched out for a long time, I'm afraid that the night will be long and I will have many dreams, so hurry up." ”

"No." Wu Yi bowed his head in response.

It's not that he really doesn't understand Liu Yan's mind, even if he didn't understand it before, he should have understood it when he heard this. Since Liu Yan didn't want to delay, there was not much time left for him. Thinking that not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he was busy working for so long, but it seemed that he was assisting to lead the deer, Wu Yi felt very uncomfortable.

"By the way, you are dealing with the merchants who are helping Ba County, putting a large amount of cloth in the government treasury into the market, and the market of Yizhou cloth has dropped sharply, how is the progress? Can the target merchant be defeated? Liu Yan asked again.

Wu Yi's heart was excited.

The so-called crackdown on the merchants of Ba County is just an excuse to deal with the deer collar, and suppressing the price of a foreign caravan in the cloth production area will make people laugh off their teeth. Wu Yi is completely taking advantage of Liu Yan's lack of business affairs and the aura of the Wu family to act cheaply, and there are only a few families who can compare business affairs with Chen Liu's Wu family, even if the layman thinks it is strange, he must think that the layman can't see the way, as long as Liu Yan doesn't care, it doesn't matter how Wu Yi plays.

What does Liu Yan mean by suddenly asking about the progress of commercial suppression at this time?

"The target merchants suffered heavy losses, which reduced the size of the cloth trade in Ba County." Wu Yi stubbornly said, the ant caravan brought the cloth to the north to make a move, and the statement of "reducing the scale of the Ba County trade" was barely established.

"Then take it when you see it."

Liu Yan said calmly: "The envoy I sent to Chang'an has already met with Wang Situ, and Wang Situ is very interested in reopening the cloth trade. The problem of Ba County will be resolved peacefully in a short time, and there will be no hindrance in the flow of materials, and the continued sale of cloth will certainly be able to crack down on merchants who do not know how to lift, but it will also increase the loss of Yizhou, which is not cost-effective. ”

Wu Yi came out in a cold sweat.

"Reopening the Ebu Shojo? That's a good idea! When the subordinates go back, they will stop the operation of cloth into the market. ”

Coming out of the state pastoral mansion, Wu Yi still had palpitations.

Overplayed.

Liu Yan wants to seize Yizhou, and needs a lot of money to develop the place, and it is not in the long-term interests of Yizhou to suppress the price of cloth in Yizhou. Liu Yan may not be suspicious of him, it may just be out of economic considerations, and the cloth suppression says that there are at most small flaws, but if there are more small problems, they will become big problems.

Dealing with the deer collar is a transaction, and you can get benefits, but the biggest benefit of the Wu family is on Liu Yan. From the moment the family moved west from Chen Liu, the Wu family and Liu Yan were firmly tied together, with both prosperity and loss, which was also the fundamental reason why Liu Yan reused Wu Yi with confidence.

The benefits obtained by dealing with the deer collar are not worth mentioning compared to the benefits brought to the family by holding Liu Yan tightly.

Sesame seeds and watermelon, there is no comparison.

Because of the interests of Sesame, he inadvertently damaged Liu Yan's interests, that is, the long-term interests of the Wu family, this kind of mistake is simply unforgivable. This situation made Wu Yi frightened, this was not the result he wanted, absolutely not.

"Divide three bars, can't delay too long......"

But Wu Yi was not willing to make an immediate 180-degree turn and change course, because that would mean giving up the upcoming benefits, which would be a complete failure from a business point of view. It's okay to stop, but you still have to take what you should get, otherwise the front is equivalent to working in vain, and you have to pay the price in return.

"Transferring Zhao Bu and then doing it seems impossible now. For now, the only way to do this is to notify them to start in advance, and the commercial suppression has weakened the capital income of the deer, and there is no reason to complain. ”

After making a decision, Wu Yi suddenly felt relaxed.

"Yuan Jizhou, Zhu Cheqi, and Gongsun Taishou have repeatedly spoken out for the deer leader, which is really incomprehensible......"

Yecheng.

Xun Chen walked out of the gate of the State Pastoral Mansion, and his thoughts were suddenly in a hurry.

Because Xun Yu, who was known as "Wang Zuozhicai", did not accept Yuan Shao's solicitation and returned to Henan to vote for Cao Cao, Yuan Shao was extremely dissatisfied. Later, the Jizhou Army and the Beiping Army fought a big battle, the Jizhou Army won the battle of Guandu, the situation was once very good, Yuan Shao went to Beiping to fight the Japanese because of the Flying Fish Sailor, and suspected that Yu Buzhi secretly leaned towards Gongsun Zhan, and even alienated Yu Buzhi, Xun Yan, who was in charge of the Flying Fish Leader, was also Xun Chen's brother, so Yuan Shao had another reason to snub Xun Chen.

For several months, he had not been summoned by Yuan Shao for a long time.

Xun Chen didn't complain about anything, even if he personally persuaded Han Fu to give Jizhou to Yuan Shao.

Xun Chen, who is from a famous family, can understand Yuan Shao's approach. The children of the Xun clan are divided into various princes to buy insurance, no matter who wins in the future, the glory of the Xun clan can continue, and the Xun family has the right to make their own choice, which is understandable, but Yuan Shao also has the right to keep a distance from the Xun family. From the day Xun Yu decided to go south again, Xun Chen knew what kind of risks he needed to face, and he was prepared for it, so he was calm.

It's just that he was left out in the cold, and it's not that he doesn't have a chance to come back.

Unless Yuan Shao completely gives up on the Xun clan.

The question is, will he do that?

No.

No prince in his right mind would do that!

Not only because of the talent of the Xun family's children, but also because of a symbol. Whether there are any Xun children who are willing to join the Shi represents the attitude of the Xun family towards the princes, and the attitude of the Xun family will affect many scholars. With the children of the Xun clan joining, even if they don't do anything, it will also help attract scholars; The forces that the Xun clan children refuse to join will be excluded from consideration by many scholars who are ready to choose their masters.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if he has no ambition here for a long time in the future, for the sake of his family, he will accept it calmly.

The turnaround was not long in coming.

Today, Yuan Shao suddenly sent someone to invite Xun Chen to Taishou Mansion, talk to him with a pleasant face, and assign some more important work to him, Xun Chen knew that Yuan Shao must have something to deal with him. He guessed correctly, during the chat, Yuan Shao seemed to casually mention the cooperation with Zhululing in the past, and mentioned Xun Yan, suggesting that Xun Chen might as well invite Xun Yan to Yecheng as a guest, and Xun Chen understood everything.

The Bohai Sea and the plains were occupied by the Beiping Army, and the Jizhou Army was under great pressure.

The ambition he had when he won the Battle of Guandu was gone, and Yuan Shao needed to find ways to win over his friends and strengthen his momentum to deal with the threat of Gongsun Zhan.

The problem is that Yuan Shao died some time ago and was close to breaking with Zhulu Ling.

can't pull down his face and directly seek to reunite, and wants to use Xun's family affection to build a bridge.

Xun Chen whispered softly: "I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place." ”
