Huang Quan was from Langzhong, Brazil. He belonged to the local Bashu system and was also one of the powerful figures in Yizhou. After Zhang Song was killed for his affair with Liu Bei, Huang Quan took over Zhang Song's position and served as a leader in Yizhou. Although he was named the number one high-ranking official in Yizhou, Huang Quan was still weaker than Wu Yi and Zhang Ren in terms of strength.

When he returned to the mansion, Huang Quan locked himself in the study. He hurriedly wrote a secret letter, summoned one of his confidants, handed him the letter, and told him carefully: "You can go to Yedu and hand this letter to Prime Minister Cao, and tell him that I will try my best to stop Liu Jing from taking Bashu west."

"Don't worry, Master, remember the humble position."

Huang Quan was still a little worried. Zhang Song's fate was right in front of him. He repeatedly warned his confidant, "Be careful, if any abnormality exists, you should immediately destroy the letter and not let the letter fall into anyone's hands."

The confidant family left in a hurry, and Huang Quan came to the room in a restless mood to pace back and forth. Naturally, he was a force in Cao Cao in Yizhou. Huang Quan himself had nothing to do with Cao Cao, but was just a pro-Cao faction in Yizhou.

After a series of accidents in Jingzhou, Huang Quan realized that Yizhou was difficult to protect, and he began to consider his future. At this moment, Cao Cao secretly sent someone to find him, promising him to give him a generous title, so that Huang Quan could prevent Liu Jing from entering Shu.

Of course, Huang Quan also knew that Liu Jing's real purpose was Bashu. Although Liu Jing always wanted to plan Hanzhong and seize Guanzhong, it would be strange if Liu Jing did not take such a fertile land as Bashu.

So how to keep Liu Jing from the Bashu Sect and complete the heavy trust that Cao Cao gave him was something Huang Quan has been thinking about repeatedly.

Huang Quan thought about it, but with his own strength, he was still a little weaker. He had to find an ally. Thinking of this, Huang Quan immediately ordered: "Prepare the car and go to Weigong Mansion."

Wei Gong is Liu Zhang and Liu Wei. He has a good relationship with Huang Quan. Wei Gong is about twenty-five or six years old. He is only one year younger than his brother Liu Xun. But it was this year's gap that made him lose the opportunity to inherit the governor of Yizhou and became a pain in Liu Wei's heart.

Liu Wei looks very similar to his brother Liu Xun, but his personality is very different. Liu Xun is good at winning over officials, is steady, and can listen to other people's opinions.

However, Liu Wei was tolerant and vicious. He was low-key and silent. He never expressed his opinions on major issues. However, this does not mean that he did not participate in major events in Yizhou. He liked to secretly use cold arrows from behind.

This time, Liu Wei was leaking the secret to Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. Like his brother Liu Xun, he also tried every means to destroy the cooperation between his father Liu Zhang and Liu Jing. When Huang Quan told him the news that Liu Jing wanted to seize Hanzhong, he leaked the news to Zhang Lu without hesitation, which eventually led to Zhang Lu's sneak attack on Shangyong.

But for Liu Wei, stopping Liu Jing from advancing west was not his main purpose. His biggest dream was to replace his brother and become the lord of Yizhou in the future. For this reason, he also secretly established his own power.

Liu Wei's wife, Yong, was the daughter of Yong Kai, the governor of Jianning County. It was precisely because of this in-law relationship that he received support from southern forces such as Jianning's guard Yong Kai; Yueli guard, Yi Wang Gaoding; Jingwang guard, Barbarian King Zhu Bao.

This is also Liu Wei's greatest support. He is ready. Once his father's situation is not good, he will immediately ask Yong Kai's army to go north to help him seize the power of Yizhou.

Liu Wei’s visit to Huang Quan tonight is not surprising. Today, Liu Jing’s envoy Sima Yi is here again, and Huang Quan will definitely come to him.

In the room, Liu Wei listened to Huang Quan's persuasion without saying a word, "I have persuaded the provincial governor to send troops to Hanzhong. In this way, the troops in Shuzhong will be empty. I am very worried that Liu Jing will take the opportunity to advance to Badong. I wonder if you can ask your father-in-law to send troops to Bajun and participate in the blockade of the Jingzhou army."

Liu Wei sneered for a while, "You can't get up early without any profit. Don't let my father-in-law deal with Liu Jing's army. What's the benefit? They have no benefits, so why are they willing to send troops?"

"Of course there are benefits"

Huang Quan smiled faintly and said, "I will convince the court to support you as the governor of Yizhou, how about it?"

Liu Wei's eyes lit up and he stared at Huang Quan tightly, "Huang Bie Jia, can you have anything to do with Cao Cao?"

"Haha, I have nothing to do with him. He is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. I am a Bie Jia of Yizhou. I am his subordinate. That's all, don't think too much about Wei Gong."

Liu Wei was not willing to believe it. He shook his head, "There is a saying in Shu that you don't have money and don't say anything about killing pigs. You can ask me to help you persuade your father-in-law to send troops, but how can you guarantee your promise? Huang Gong is not that I don't believe you. You promised me a few years ago, saying that you support me to be the governor of Yizhou, but you have done nothing over the years. But my brother is more and more valued by my father. To be honest, I am very disappointed with you."

Huang Quan also knew not to show anything. Liu Wei would not believe his words. He pondered for a moment and lowered his voice and said, "Cao Cheng attaches great importance to the matter in Yizhou. He specially sent someone to come to me and asked me to do everything possible to prevent Liu Jing from entering Shu. However, the power of Bashu must be weaker than Jingzhou. If your father-in-law is willing to send troops to block Liu Jing, I can convince Prime Minister Cao to support you as his heir, and there is no joke."

Liu Wei's eyes narrowed. Huang Quan was indeed colluding with Cao Cao, but if he got Cao Cao's support, it would be beneficial to him.

"I can give this a try, but I still have one condition."

"Please tell me"

"If my father wants to conquer Hanzhong, I hope Mr. Huang can convince his father and let me lead the troops to the expedition."

Huang Quan laughed proudly, "Today I persuaded the provincial governor to agree to Jingzhou's request and let Pang Xi lead his army to Jianping County. In fact, I am trying to win a chance in Hanzhong. I am planning this matter step by step."

Liu Wei was overjoyed. If his father agreed to Pang Xi's advance to Jianping, he would not agree to his brother leading his army to Hanzhong. In this way, his chance would come. He stood up and gave a deep bow, "It will be a blessing for Huang Gong."

Liu Xun did not live with his father Liu Zhang. He opened a mansion a few years ago and married Pang Xizhi's daughter. The couple had a deep relationship and had two or one daughter one after another. Although Liu Xun tried to plead for his father-in-law Pang Xi last time, it did not mean that he supported the Dongzhou scholarship.

As Liu Zhang's leader, he considered the long-term development of Yizhou, especially his father's appeasement towards Liu Jing made him feel even more distressed. His father was cowardly and always had a little fantasy about Liu Jing and built his foundation on the kindness of others.

In the study, Liu Xunzheng and his staff member Yin Jing discussed a plan to deal with Liu Jing. Yin Jing was about ten years old, tall and thin, with a foot of blue beard under his jaw, which was quite a bit like a fairy-like appearance.

He was a famous scholar in Shu and once appointed Pang Degong of Jingzhou as his teacher. He was superior in both knowledge and talent. He was praised by Pang Degong as the first scholar in Shu and was hired by Liu Xun as an aide, so he gave advice for him behind his back.

"Do you really think Liu Jing is going to attack Jingnan?"

Yin Jing sneered and said, "Liu Bei's soldiers are small and few generals, Jingzhou can send at most ten thousand troops to wipe out them in one fell swoop. Liu Jing stationed 80,000 troops. This is obviously aimed at Bashu. This is Xiang Zhuang's sword dance, aiming at Pei Gong."

Liu Xun said worriedly: "I also know that Liu Jing's ambition is determined to seize Bashu, but my father was coaxed by Liu Jing's sweet words. I really believe that he would let Bashu go and attack Hanzhong. I advised my father, but my father was still angry at me. What should I do now?"

Yin Jingsi said for a moment: "Liu Jing's attempt to capture Hanzhong may not be fake. Judging from his previous agreement with Yizhou to acquire Hanzhong, Zhang Lu's capture of Shangyong this time may be a trap set by Liu Jing, deliberately making Zhang Lu fooled, so that Liu Jing's capture of Hanzhong would be famous. However, Zhang Lu would inevitably send heavy troops to fight against the Jingzhou army in the Shangyong area. Hanzhong will inevitably be empty at this time, which is really an opportunity to seize Hanzhong."

Speaking of this, Yin Zhen suggested: "I think the Duke can lead an army to fight in Hanzhong north and turn Hanzhong into his own sphere of influence. In this way, the Duke will have the right to speak in Yizhou, and the Duke thinks it."

Liu Xun walked a few steps behind his hands and sighed in a low voice: "I had something strange today, which made me a little worried."

"What happened?"

Liu Xun bit his lips and said, "Today Huang Quan persuaded his father to agree to Jingzhou's request and hand over Jianping County to my father-in-law. This made me very surprised, because last time Huang Quan made a clear statement and did not agree with the Dongzhou military guard Jianping County, but today he was completely distorted. I was a little worried that he had ulterior motives."

"What does that man think he means?" Yin Jing asked again.

"Because if my father-in-law led the troops to Jianping County, then my father would not let me lead the troops to Hanzhong again. My father was very suspicious and he would not let me have the power of the soldiers. I was very worried that my second brother would lead the army to Hanzhong in the end."

Yin Zhen asked for a moment of silence: "It is rumored that the second man has a thousand dead men in Mianzhu Manor. Is this true or false?"

"This should be true, but there is no evidence."

The room was silent, and both of them knew in their hearts that Liu Wei was determined to fight for the throne. Once he obtained military power, the consequences would be very serious. Under the background of Liu Jing's expansion of the west, he could do anything.
