Chapter 717 (1/2)
Liu Zhang is very afraid of Liu Ye. Although Sima Lang is called an angel, he is actually an emissary sent by Liu Ye, representing Liu Ye's will. Therefore, Liu Zhang does not dare to neglect him. He warmly greets Sima Lang to drink, and various delicious dishes are presented one after another.
Some people clapped their hands. Even if sixteen beautiful dancers came forward and began to dance under the music master's playing, they were all beautiful and beautiful, and they were rare beauties in Sichuan. Now they gather together, it seems that the flowers are fighting each other, and they really have a beautiful feeling.
Wang Lei watched Sima Lang vaguely. He saw that although he was enjoying women's singing and dancing, he did not look askance, open and aboveboard, with appreciation in his eyes. However, he was not blasphemous and frowned. It seems that this angel is not easy to cheat.
After the dancer retreated, Sima Lang suddenly said, ”Liu Yizhou, who is also an important member of the lower body, has come to promulgate the imperial edict. In addition, the general specifically asked someone to ask when Liu Yizhou would be able to send troops?”
”This...” Liu Zhang hesitated and couldn't answer. He was sweating.
Sitting at the top of the left, the middle-aged man who had not spoken for a long time arched his hands and said, ”excuse me, angel. The plank road is difficult and dangerous. It will take ten days and a half months at least to mobilize soldiers and raise food and grass to attack Zhang Lu.”
”Yes, yes, yes. What Huang Biejia said is that we can't be in a hurry. We need to discuss before we can make a decision.” Liu Zhang followed the way.
”All right.”
Sima Lang frowned slightly. He also knew that he could not make a decision immediately.
”In this case, Liu Yizhou is also requested to make a decision as soon as possible as to when the Yizhou army will go out and when it will leave.”
After that, Sima Lang stood up. Liu Zhang quickly got up and sent Sima Lang out and came back. However, after a hundred steps, he was sweating and looked rather embarrassed.
Wang Lei had a good look and immediately said, ”come on, take these leftovers off!”
Some internal servants came forward and removed all the food. Except for Sima Lang, all the civil and military personnel in Yizhou stayed in the same place and did not move. Obviously, they knew that Liu Zhang wanted to gather for discussion.
”Gentlemen.”
Liu Zhang wiped the sweat on his forehead and said anxiously, ”what should we do if the court wants us to send troops to attack Hanzhong?”
Yizhou was already rich, and Liu Yan consciously reduced taxes. Therefore, Yizhou is now at a time when there is plenty of food and grass and a strong army. It was because of such material conditions that even the weak Liu Zhang felt very confident after he ascended the throne.
Zhang Lu betrayed Liu Yan, and Yizhou civil and military were all angry. Pang Xi asked Liu Zhang to attack Hanzhong. Liu Zhang readily agreed to appoint pangxi as prefect of Bajun, but was defeated by Zhang Lu. Therefore, Liu Zhang was very afraid of Hanzhong.
Yizhou is very rich, rich and well-off. If you sit in Chengdu, you can eat and drink. Why do you have to gnaw at Hanzhong?
Huang Quan, who had been silent before, was the first to open his mouth. He arched his hand and said, ”Zhou mu, Zhang Luben came to be a general of Junlang, but after occupying Hanzhong, he openly rebelled. Our army should fight against him. Moreover, Liu Ye is very powerful now. He supports the emperor, and his army marches in all directions. If he disobeys his orders, he is afraid of trouble in the future.”
”I don't agree with you.” Shizhong Wang shook his head.
