Chapter 190: Liu Yan and the broken half of the snake spear! Old Dong admits the heir is

Yizhou

Inspector's residence.

At this moment, Liu Yan was playing with a half-broken snake spear that was already slightly covered in patina.

This snake spear was once his weapon when he was young.

At that time, the still-young Liu Yan, holding the snake spear, was like entering an empty land on the battlefield.

But so many years had passed, and due to old age and infirmity, as well as living in luxury, Liu Yan's martial power was far inferior to before.

No, to be precise, it was less than one-tenth of what it used to be.

And this snake spear that had followed Liu Yan for many years also broke into two pieces in an accident three years ago.

But even so, Liu Yan still cherished this weapon that had followed him for many years very much.

This was a memory of the old era, the proof that he once fought seven people alone on the battlefield...

Suddenly.

A burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the residence.

Liu Yan put away the snake spear in his hand for the time being.

Soon, the Assistant Governor Zhang Song walked in from outside.

He anxiously reported to Liu Yan:

"Reporting to my lord."

"General Zhao Chi has been defeated!"

"The rice thieves arranged many rolling logs and stones in the valley path; General Zhao Chi underestimated the enemy and mistakenly entered them."

"Losing... more than five thousand soldiers!"

After listening to Zhang Song's report.

Liu Yan was furious.

He threw the inkstone on the desk with a "bang."

"Rice thieves!!"

"Damn rice thieves!!"

"The reason this wretch was able to enter Hanzhong was thanks to this old man's support."

"But how did he repay this old man?"

"Occupying Hanzhong to carve out a territory and blocking this old man's road to the north, he really has his ways!"

"And Zhao Chi, he is also a piece of trash!"

"This old man handed him forty thousand troops, yet he couldn't even walk out of a mere valley path."

"If this old man were still young, why would I let this trash lead troops?"

"Relying on the snake spear in this old man's hand, I would definitely kill the rice thieves until they cried for their fathers and mothers!"

Liu Yan was truly furious.

It was no wonder he was so angry.

Zhang Lu's mother was Liu Yan's old lover, and Liu Yan had always treated Zhang Lu as an "adopted son."

Letting Zhang Lu enter Hanzhong, Liu Yan's original purpose was to control the Five Pecks of Rice Sect in Hanzhong through Zhang Lu.

But now.

Zhang Lu led the Five Pecks of Rice Sect to declare independence and cut off the road between Shu and Hanzhong.

This gave Liu Yan the feeling that he had "fed all his meat buns to the dogs"!

And Zhao Chi?

He was the general he valued most and had promoted many times; now he had become a top general in the army.

And the result?

Once a battle started, Zhao Chi immediately revealed his true colors.

Not to mention losing soldiers and generals, Liu Yan's face was also lost completely.

"No, we cannot let this Zhao Chi continue to be the commander."

"Yongnian, do you think Wu Yi is suitable?"

Liu Yan asked Zhang Song.

Although Zhang Song was young.

But the Zhang family was one of the top aristocratic families in Shu.

Plus Zhang Song possessed the ability of "photographic memory."

With the full support of his family, he was already the Assistant Governor of Yizhou at a young age, which was considered an important assistant to Liu Yan.

At this moment, hearing Liu Yan mention the name Wu Yi.

Zhang Song was stunned for a moment and then replied:

"My lord, have you forgotten?"

"Wu Yi went home to observe mourning half a month ago because his father passed away."

"That is to say, Wu Yi is not here now!!"

Hearing what Zhang Song said, Liu Yan finally reacted.

In the Western and Eastern Han periods, "filial piety" was the most important virtue.

Wu Yi's father passed away, and he needed to go home to observe mourning.

It was impossible for him to return to Chengdu in the short term, so the matter of commanding naturally could not be handed to him.

"Yongnian, besides Wu Yi, who do you think is most suitable to lead troops to suppress the rice thieves?"

Liu Yan was somewhat troubled. ===== CHAPTER 191 =====
