Chapter 716 (1/2)

Yizhou, Chengdu.

Yizhou was originally a wild land, and it didn't belong to China at the earliest time. Later, with Sima CuO's expedition to Shu in Qin Dynasty, Shu was classified into China. At the beginning, Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty took Sichuan as the foundation and sent troops to attack the three Qin Dynasties. Therefore, he attached great importance to Bashu. Especially since Li Bing, the prefect of Qin Shu County, dug the Dujiangyan, ten thousand mu of good farmland in Chengdu Plain has been irrigated, which can be called the land of abundance.

The Yellow turban rebellion caused unrest in the eight prefectures of the Han Dynasty, but Yizhou was rarely seen with yellow turban thieves. On the one hand, Yizhou's path was not convenient, and the Taiping Road was difficult to preach. On the other hand, the people here lived a rich life. Those who rebellious had no way to live. So they started the army and had a good life in their families. Who would like to do the job of killing their heads?

Liu Yan fought yellow turban in Youzhou. Exhausted, Liu Yan applied to Yizhou as a patriarchal clan. After years of stability in Yizhou, Liu Yan died. Before his death, he gave the important task of Yizhou animal husbandry to his young son Liu Zhang.

Living in the land of abundance, he was rich in clothes and food all day long. He was usually sitting or lying down. However, today, he was standing in a sweat. From time to time, the Chamberlain next to him stepped forward to wipe away the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

Liu Zhang only felt a pain in his knee. He could not help but asked Wang Lei, the servant beside him, ”when will the angel arrive?”

Wang Lei saw Liu Zhang's sweating face. Although he could not bear it, he still advised him: ”state shepherd, according to the report, the angel is about to arrive. Please bear it again.”

Liu Zhang sighed and stood still, waiting for the angel from Luoyang.

Liu Zhang, who was rich in clothing and food, had not suffered much from childhood, but now he has to do it. Since the end of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yan, who occupied Yizhou, did not care about the imperial court. We can see from the fact that he instructed Zhang Lu to attack and kill Su Gu, the governor of Hanzhong. In fact, the imperial court sent envoys to Hanzhong and was killed by Liu Yan's secret order Zhang Lu. It can be seen that Yizhou is arrogant and despotic.

But today, different from the past, Liu Ye rose with the momentum of strengthening the Qin Dynasty, and occupied Guanzhong. He stepped on both sides of the Yellow River and established the son of heaven in Luoyang. His army was more than 100000, which made him shake the world.

Liu Zhang's character was originally weak, so he didn't dare to offend Liu Ye. So when he heard that Luoyang angel was coming, he went out of the mansion respectfully and waited.

When Liu Zhang and others were impatient, he suddenly rode out and yelled, ”the angel is coming!”

Liu Zhang, Wang Lei, Zhang Ren, Zhang Song and other civil and military officials in Yizhou bowed down to worship one after another.

”See the angel.”

The angel is the messenger of the son of heaven. Pursuing the will of the son of heaven is just like the son of heaven. Although his position is not high, Liu Zhang and others dare not neglect it.

Before and after, dozens of riders galloped to the scene, all of them dressed in armour, with tiger's back and bear's waist, and their back bows and swords. All of them were in high spirits. But in the middle of them were surrounded by a mount of Confucianists. They were not short, and they were eight feet tall. If they had not been wearing Confucian long clothes, others would have regarded him as one of the guards of Huben.

This man is no one else, but the eldest son of Sima family in Hanoi County, Sima Lang, whose name is Boda. His father, Sima Fang, was the chief historian of the imperial book. He had eight sons, known as Sima bada. Sima Lang, the oldest, was called to serve as shangshulang in the palace. He was ordered to go to Chengdu to announce the imperial edict.

With a smile on his face, Sima Lang jumped off the horse's back with the help of Huben guard and arched his hand slightly.

”I've met Liu Yizhou and a group of Yizhou heroes.”

”Don't mention it, shangshulang. Please come in quickly.” Liu Zhang laughed.
