Chapter 502 Wu Yi Persuades the Lord
People's minds are moved.
As Tian Ze stopped his conquest, the whole world became peaceful again.
However, the surge in darkness became even more intense.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Liu Fan.
After the external threat was eliminated, Zhang He quickly stabilized the situation in Yizhou.
Although there are still many stubborn resisters and powerful gentry who need to be dealt with secretly in various places, they are no longer a threat.
Liu Fan, who originally thought that he would be "observed" in Yizhou for a while, went south within two months.
Liu Fan set off on his journey in a daze, taking with him a large amount of supplies that had already been packed and prepared by the civil and military officials around him and the powerful families under his rule, as well as the loyal common people.
It was not until after he set off that he realized what was happening.
It turns out that this group of guys had already prepared everything, and only I was kept in the dark. I, the King of Han, am just a mascot!
Liu Fan's mood instantly plummeted to the bottom, filled with resentment and unwillingness. Was he really such a failure in life?
Wu Yi, who was with the army, had been keeping an eye on Liu Fan's condition. Seeing Liu Fan's irritable look, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
When the large army was stationed, Wu Yi properly arranged all matters and went straight to the carriage where Liu Fan was.
He said respectfully, "My Lord, Yi wants to see you for something."
Liu Fan's slightly dull voice came from the carriage: "Come in."
Wu Yi lifted the curtain and stepped into the carriage, only to see Liu Fan sitting on the couch with a dejected look on his face, his eyes full of loss and confusion.
Wu Yi felt sad, knelt on one knee and said, "My Lord, don't be so depressed. This trip south is a new beginning for you."
"A new beginning? Continue to be a puppet?" Liu Fan said self-deprecatingly.
"That's not the case. My lord is the King of Han personally appointed by His Majesty the Great Qi. This alone is enough!" Wu Yi said in a deep voice.
Seeing that Liu Fan still had no reaction, Wu Yi gritted his teeth and continued.
"My lord, please forgive me for being blunt, but how do you think you compare to Cao Mengde, Liu Xuande and others?"
"Why not." Liu Fan was silent for a moment and uttered the two words with difficulty.
"Then my lord, how do you think you compare to Lü Fengxian and Gongsun Zan?"
"I don't know." Liu Fan said after hesitation.
Although he was certainly not as good as these two in martial arts and marching and fighting, he was definitely better than them when it came to governing the local area and listening to good advice.
"Lü Fengxian was brave but not wise, but now he has pacified the northern barbarians. Gongsun Zan was stubborn and self-willed, but now he has also wiped out the countries in the Western Regions."
"My lord, although you are not good at military warfare, you are far superior to them in terms of wisdom and benevolence. Moreover, you have good generals such as Zhang Ren and Yan Yan under your command. How can you not surpass these two and achieve something great?" Wu Yi said solemnly.
"The southwestern part of Yizhou is vast and fertile, and is indeed a place for the rise of a king, far superior to the northern frontier and the Western Regions."
"Although we are no match for His Majesty the Great Qi, it is still easy to deal with these barbarians. We may be able to accomplish great things and establish a new Han Dynasty!"
"As for the noble families under the lord, they do have ulterior motives. But they must rely on the lord's name to have a chance to participate in this matter."
"Moreover, from now on, the lord will be isolated outside the Central Plains, with a large army under his command, and we will follow him with all our strength. With the support of the Great Qi, it will be easy to control these disloyal people."
"You can take it step by step, follow the example of the Great Qi, strengthen the trunk and weaken the branches, and become the true King of Han!"
Wu Yi's words were straightforward and simple.
It’s not that Liu Fan failed as a person, but that he had only played high-end games before.
It was just like Zhao Kuo, who had just come out of seclusion, met the complete form of Bai Qi right at the beginning, and was naturally nailed to the pillar of shame.
Although his level was indeed not good, it was not that bad. It was a pity that he chose the wrong opponent.
Wu Yi was very clear about Liu Fan's current mentality, so he directly prescribed the right medicine.
If you can't win a high-end game, it's not your fault, but your opponent is too strong. Didn't Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan not last long?
Although they lost gloriously, how much stronger are they than us? It's just the pot calling the kettle black.
From now on, we will play in weak teams.
We can't afford to provoke these monsters in the Central Plains, but can we easily defeat those small tribes and natives in the southeast of Yizhou?
Before, I was worried about the problems of acclimatization and unfamiliarity with the place.
However, Da Qi has prepared all the logistics, medicines and doctors, and will provide uninterrupted support.
Tian Ze was kind enough to directly give Liu Fan his talent.
So what do they have to worry about?
Are you worried about those tribal barbarians engaging in guerrilla warfare? With a magical tool like the "mini-map", you can definitely catch them all, right?
As much headache and despair they had faced Da Qi before, they now feel comfortable and at ease.
We have someone above us! What are we afraid of? Just kill him!
Wu Yi was not good at comforting people or preaching, but he knew Liu Fan very well.
After all, he is my brother-in-law.
Wu Xian, the younger sister of Liu Fan, who was originally married to Liu Mao and later became the Queen of Shu Han, naturally became Liu Fan's wife because Liu Fan did not die in Chang'an.
It is precisely because of this that there is unreserved trust between the two parties.
If someone else had said these words, Liu Fan might have gotten furious, but Wu Yi's words made Liu Fan fall into deep thought.
In all fairness, did he do a really bad job?
To be honest, he didn't do anything wrong.
I didn't misjudge the enemy, didn't misanalyze the situation, and didn't make any wrong decisions.
Many of his decisions can be considered above-average choices, and many are even eye-opening.
His problem is that he was born in the wrong era and arrived too late.
His ability is not weak, just not strong enough.
The civil and military officials under Liu Fan's command and the powerful families in Yizhou still highly recognized Liu Fan.
The reason why he voted so decisively was because Liu Fan was indeed much worse than Tian Ze.
After saying these words, Wu Yi left, leaving Liu Fan alone.
He believed that Liu Fan could figure this out.
Although Liu Fan is not strong enough, it depends on who he is compared with. If it is a peaceful and prosperous time, Liu Fan can definitely be called a wise king.
Li Yan, Zhang Song and Huang Quan watched Wu Yi get off Liu Fan's carriage with a normal expression on his face, and the heavy stone in their hearts fell slightly.
Liu Fan’s importance to them is self-evident.
Just like Liu Bang, he seemed to have no ability, but he had the three heroes of the late Han Dynasty and a group of civil and military officials under his command. But if there was no Liu Bang, these people would find it difficult to display their abilities.
If Liu Fan doesn't cheer up, they will be in trouble.
But they cannot advise or mediate on such matters, after all, they can be considered "fence-sitters".
It can only be said by Wu Yi, a native of this country.
Don't miss out!
Especially since Tian Ze was able to bestow his talent on Liu Fan, this opportunity probably won’t come again.
After the war starts next year, I’m afraid this talent will be taken back.
If we don't take advantage of this period of time to conquer a large enough territory in the southeast of Yizhou, it will be difficult to advance in the future.
