- Chapter 362: You can¡¯t have both fame and fortune
South of Suiyang City, there is the Chinese army¡¯s tent.
Yan Liang played with the wine glass in one hand and held a book of war in the other, savoring the dual spiritual and material food.
The curtain was lifted and Xu Shu stepped into the tent.
"Yuan Zhi came just in time to have a few drinks with me." Yan Liang was in a good mood.
Xu Shu sat down with a smile and had a few glasses of wine with Yan Liang. From the looks of it, he seemed to have something to say.
Yan Liang then said: "Yuan Zhi, we just need to be honest with each other. If you have anything to say, just say it."
After coughing a few times, Xu Shu smiled and said, "I can't hide anything from my lord. Yes, I am here. I am indeed curious about something, and I can't help but want to ask my lord."
"What's the matter?" Yan Liang put down the slip.
After a pause, Xu Shu said: "I really want to know what my lord said to Sun Qian that day when he withdrew from us and met with Sun Qian alone. This made Sun Qian look sad when he came out. I have always been curious. "Tight."
Sure enough.
Yan Liang knew that Xu Shu would be suspicious, so he laughed and told Xu Shu truthfully that he wanted Liu Bei to write a letter of divorce.
Xu Shu was surprised after hearing this. He never expected that his lord would make such a request.
The moment he knew the truth, Xu Shu thought that Yan Liang was a womanizer, but in the blink of an eye, he rejected his guess.
"The two wives of Mi Gan are already in the hands of the lord. If the lord really wants to possess them, there is no need for Liu Bei to write a letter of divorce. If the lord does this, is it"
Xu Shu¡¯s thoughts changed, and after pondering for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"My lord, are you trying to use this to damage Liu Bei's reputation?" Xu Shu asked in surprise.
Yan Liang nodded slightly, acquiescing to Yan Liang's guess.
Asking Liu Bei to write a letter of divorce was not only to make Mi Gan and his wife give up, but also to damage Liu Bei's reputation was also one of Yan Liang's purposes.
Yan Liang raised an army because the Yuan family was rebellious, and he mainly relied on violence. He fought hard to gain every inch of territory.
Liu Bei was different. His rise to power relied largely on his reputation. Just as soon as he entered Xuzhou, relying on his reputation and appeal alone, Xuzhou counties would join him from all directions without much effort.
In Yan Liang's view, Liu Bei's reputation was far more painful than defeating him in a battle.
After understanding Yan Liang¡¯s true intention, Xu Shu couldn¡¯t help but secretly sigh, lamenting that his lord was so different that he could always come up with such unreasonable strategies.
After sighing for a long time, Xu Shu said: "Liu Bei is a very famous person. I'm afraid Liu Bei may not agree to this."
Faced with Xu Shu¡¯s suspicion, Yan Liang sneered.
"That was the Liu Bei of the past. Ever since he imprisoned Yuan Tan, he had abandoned his mask. Today's Liu Bei is just a profit-seeking person. I expected that he would not dare not agree."
Yan Liang¡¯s words were so confident, as if he had already figured out Liu Bei¡¯s character deeply, and he was even more convinced of his own insight.
Xu Shu still had a bit of doubt on his face, as if he couldn't believe that Liu Xuande, the former imperial uncle of the Han Dynasty, whose reputation for benevolence and righteousness spread far and wide, would do such a shameful thing.
Just when Xu Shu was suspicious, soldiers outside the door came to report that Liu Bei's envoy Sun Qian had arrived again.
Xu Shu¡¯s expression was suddenly shocked.
Yan Liang smiled faintly, "Yuan Zhi, please go behind the screen and listen quietly. I will let you see what Uncle Liu Huang looks like."
Xu Shu was determined to solve the mystery, so he stood up and hid behind the screen.
Yan Liang just asked Sun Qian to be brought in.
Not long after, the curtain was raised and Sun Qian stepped into the tent. Compared with the previous time, he was a little less calm and a little more awe-stricken.
Sun Qian didn't dare to be careless as he stepped forward to greet him, for fear that he might offend the thug in front of him if he was careless.
"How about it, has your lord agreed to the two conditions set by this general?" Yan Liang asked bluntly without beating around the bush.
Sun Qian hurriedly raised his hands and said, "My lord, in order to show Yan Zhoumu's sincerity in reconciliation, he has resolutely agreed to Yan Zhoumu's two conditions."
Xu Shu, who was behind the screen, looked slightly shocked, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
But Yan Liang looked as usual, and he had obviously expected Sun Qian's answer.
He nodded and stretched out his hand: "Then submit the divorce letter."?, I also want to see Uncle Liu Huang's calligraphy masterpiece. "
Yan Liang deliberately emphasized the words "a masterpiece of calligraphy", which was obviously sarcastic, and made Xu Shu, who was behind the screen, almost laugh out loud.
Sun Qian looked embarrassed, but he could only silently take out the divorce note from his sleeve, and reluctantly handed it to Yan Liang with both hands.
Yan Liangzhan opened the door, glanced at it roughly, and then threw the divorce letter on the case.
When he raised his head, a look of pity appeared on Yan Liang's face, "Those two ladies are rare rare women in this world. I didn't expect Uncle Liu to be so generous and willing to give up. Go back and tell Uncle Liu to let him Don¡¯t worry, I will take good care of those two beauties on his behalf.¡±
Yan Liang spoke seriously, but his words were full of ridicule and contempt.
How could Sun Qian be unable to hear the hidden meaning? When he heard it, his back was like a ray of light, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead.
But he didn¡¯t dare to show it at all, so he had to force a smile and cupped his hands and said: ¡°It¡¯s rare for Yanzhou Mu to have such a benevolent heart. I will definitely convey Lord Zhou Mu¡¯s good wishes to the Lord when I return.¡±
With the divorce letter in hand, the purpose has been achieved, and Yan Liang has no intention of talking nonsense to him.
He waved his hand and said: "Okay, you can go back. In the future, I will retreat twenty miles away and let you retreat. As soon as Liang Guo gets it, my army will withdraw and return south."
Sun Qian was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Yan Liang again and again.
The agreement was reached and when Sun Qian was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something.
He then came closer and said with a smile: "Yanzhou Mu, regarding the divorce letter, my lord means that this is a private matter, can you"
Sun Qian was embarrassed to speak frankly, and Yan Liang understood what he meant.
At that moment, Yan Liang waved his hand and said with a smile: "I understand what you mean. You don't need to worry about this. Otherwise, I would not have proposed this condition to you alone."
Sun Qian felt relieved and quickly praised Yan Liang again before he resigned.
After seeing off Sun Qian, Xu Shu turned around from behind the screen, with a look of sadness on his face.
"I didn't expect, I didn't expect, that Uncle Liu Huang, who is famous all over the world, could actually do such a thing. It's really impressive"
Xu Shu shook his head and sighed. The four words "with admiration" obviously had another meaning.
Yan Liang snorted coldly, "I told you before, Yuan Zhi, if you don't believe it, if you lose the bet, then you will have to drink one drink as a penalty."
Xu Shu laughed and drank it down happily.
After finishing the wine, Xu Shu looked at Liu Bei's "calligraphy treasure" on the case and asked: "How do you plan to handle this matter?"
"There is no need to ask. After I return, I will ask Si Wencao of Ziyuan to copy tens of thousands of copies, and let his detailed works spread all over the country, so that everyone in the world will know how generous our Uncle Liu Huang is."
Yan Liang deliberately emphasized the word "generous", and the irony is self-evident.
Xu Shu understood Yan Liang's intention, but then said: "But when we were in the tent just now, the lord promised to Sun Qian, so"
Xu Shu was hinting to Yan Liang that although this could achieve the purpose of damaging Liu Bei's reputation, it was suspected of violating the covenant.
Yan Liang sneered and said disapprovingly: "Yuan Zhi, which one of your ears heard that I promised to do that to Sun Qian? Did I?"
Xu Shu was startled, his thoughts changed, and he suddenly realized.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????, but did not mention a word about keeping the divorce letter secret. It was just that Sun Qian was being sentimental and thought Yan Liang had agreed to him.
Xu Shu understood Yan Liang's deceitfulness and couldn't help but have a sly smile on his lips. He sighed and said: "My lord is really serious in his plans. In the future, if Uncle Liu Huang sees the divorce letter written by him, he will be in the street of Xuzhou." It¡¯s been spread all over the place, I don¡¯t know how I feel about it.¡±
Yan Liang snorted coldly, without any sympathy, "He brought this on himself. He not only wants to keep his reputation, but also wants to seize people's inheritance. Where in the world can such a cheap thing come from."
"My lord, that's right" Xu Shuruo realized something, and the remaining pity on his face disappeared in the blink of an eye.
¡¡
Two days later, Yan Liang retreated twenty miles as promised.
The day after Yan Liang retreated, Liu Bei's more than 10,000 troops withdrew from Suiyang City quickly but in an orderly manner with 10,000 vigilance, and retreated all the way to Pengcheng in the east.
Yan Liang immediately led his army to Suiyang, and successively took over the Mongolian, Yu, and Xinxi armies east of Suiyang.The counties in Yiyi were incorporated into the territory of Liang State.
Now that Liang Guo has obtained it, Yuzhou has gained a barrier, and Yan Liang's strategic goals at this stage have been achieved, there is no need to continue to entangle with Liu Bei.
Therefore, Yan Liang withdrew most of his troops as promised, appointed Xu Shu as Liang's Prime Minister, and led 10,000 troops to garrison the Suiyang front line.
Yan Liang then led the remaining 20,000 troops and marched westward to Ningling City to the west of Liang State.
Not long ago, Yan Liang ambushed Liu Bei's tens of thousands of troops near this city. Beyond this city and further to the west is Xiangyi, where Yuan Shang is based.
When Liu Bei withdrew his troops and returned to Xuzhou, and Yan Liang captured the Liang Kingdom, Yuan Shang's army attacked the city on the Yanzhou front line. Taking advantage of Liu Bei's lack of time to divide his troops, he swept almost half of Yanzhou, which can be described as high-spirited.
When Yan Liang's army retreated to Ningling, Yuan Shang was sensitive to something. Not long after Yan Liang set up camp, his envoy hurriedly came to see him.
??Chinese military tent.
"General Yan's power is invincible. He defeated Liu Bei and captured the Liang Kingdom. It is really a great victory for our Yuan Yan coalition. It is really gratifying." As soon as they met, Fengji praised Yan Liangshi.
However, from Fengji's tone, it seems that Yuan Shang did not realize that Yan Liang captured Liang State because he reached an armistice agreement with Liu Bei.
Thinking of this, an imperceptible sneer quietly passed over the corner of Yan Liang's mouth. (To be continued. - Didn't finish reading?
