I am the Crown Prince of the Three Kingdoms

On the one hand, Ding Fang felt anxious.On the one hand, Ding Fang had no choice but to smile reluctantly at Lao Shan's concern, which was regarded as an answer.

"Oh, young man, it's fortunate that you met us." Seeing Ding Fang's forced smile, Lao Shan thought that Ding Fang had some difficulty in his heart, and sighed sympathetically.

Immediately afterwards, he reassured Ding Fang endlessly, telling Ding Fang how familiar he was with the old mountains near the Taihang Mountains, and that he would be able to take Ding Fang to escape if he encountered bandits.

In this atmosphere, the team is getting closer and closer to Cannes.

Volume 311 Chapter 2496: Chapter 260 Sima Lang’s Move (1)

The first thousand and 260 chapters of Sima Lang's move

Cannes is not a battleground for military strategists, let alone a famous historical city.It's just a remote city.To put it bluntly, it is a country product.

But this remote city has exuded youth and has become a majestic city.

That's because Zhang Yan settled his nest here.Zhang Yan is a general who is very good at leading troops, and also has some knowledge.

If it weren't for this, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to survive under Yuan Shao's siege.

Therefore, he spared no effort in the management of his lair.The widening, heightening, and strengthening of the outer city walls, as well as the convergence of the people's hearts inside the city, increased the wealth of the people.

Zhang Yan has done a very good job, everything is in order.

Although what Zhang Yan did was a bandit, he knew it better than ordinary princes.Only those who win the hearts of the people can last.

Guarding the city is guarding the people.

So, even though this Kangcheng is a remote town, and it is not a battleground for military strategists, the city is majestic, densely populated, and relatively rich.

In troubled times, the people in this city are very happy.

Similarly, Zhang Yan, who united with the hearts of the people, has a very strong power in this area, and it can be said that he is also a prince.

But at this moment, people like Zhang Yan had to face a choice.After all, Zhang Yan is a bandit and cannot compete with Gongsundu, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Sun Ce, Liu Feng and others.

But now that the two forces are fighting for hegemony, Zhang Yan happens to be caught in the cracks, and if he is a little careless, he is afraid that he will die immediately.

City center, Zhang Mansion, inside the hall.

Zhang Yan and his son Zhang Fang looked at each other silently.

"It's really too difficult to decide what to do." Zhang Yan said with a wry smile.Zhang Yan is about 40 years old, tall and strong, with big eyes and thick eyebrows, and he is very agile.

"Father, in terms of strength, the Han Dynasty is strong, but in terms of military strength, I'm afraid the Four Kingdoms are stronger. From my son's point of view, why not join the Four Kingdoms?" Zhang Fang pondered for a moment, and then expressed his own opinion.

"It's true. The Han Dynasty is strong and has great potential. However, the four countries have strong troops, wise men, and good generals. Now that they are fighting for the front, the four countries have a better chance of winning." After hearing this, Zhang Yan nodded involuntarily.

But there was still some hesitation in his heart.Because once a decision is made, there is no possibility to change it.

"Da da da."

Just then, there was a sound of footsteps.A moment later, a soldier came in and reported: "My lord, someone came to report that it was Wei Guo who sent Sima Lang to see the lord, and now the city of Cannes is almost destroyed."

"Father, this is a gesture of favor." Zhang Fang was inclined towards the Four Kingdoms in his heart, and when he heard the news, he was overjoyed and said.

"Send someone to meet you." Zhang Yan pondered for a moment when she heard the words, then raised her head and said.

"promise."

The soldier promised, turned and walked out.

"Father has a decision in mind?" Seeing that Zhang Yan said that he would send someone to meet him, Zhang Fang's face became even more joyful, and he opened his mouth to ask.

"Yes." Zhang Yan nodded and said.He also gradually leaned towards the Four Kingdoms, and Cao Wei's envoys arrived first, so Zhang Yan naturally made a decision.

"However, it's okay to ask us to help you with soldiers and horses, but the benefits are absolutely indispensable. Since his envoy has arrived, he has something to ask for. Let's not show our feelings and let him give you enough benefits before sending troops." Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yan told Zhang Fangdao again.

Volume 311 Chapter 2497: Chapter 260 Sima Lang’s Move (2)

"promise."

When Zhang Fang heard the words, his face became serious, and he promised.

Since it was the idea of ​​sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, Zhang Yan, Zhang Fang and his son did not express much enthusiasm and politeness.

Instead, they were in the hall, quietly waiting for Sima Lang to arrive.

"Da da da."

Not long after, Sima Lang walked in amidst the sound of footsteps.

"Shangshu Sima Lang, under the command of the Son of Heaven, pay my respects to General Zhang." After entering the hall, Sima Lang first looked up at Zhang Yan and his son generously, and then saluted gracefully.

Not arrogant and domineering, but also not too humble, just right.

"Mr. Sima is polite." Zhang Yan raised her hands and returned the salute.And Zhang Fang was at the side, also raising his fist to salute.

After returning the gift, Zhang Yan invited Sima Lang to sit down.Then, he opened his mouth and said: "Although King Wei is the Son of Heaven, I am a bandit, and I seem to be born at odds with the Son of Heaven. What is the meaning of the Son of Heaven sending you here?"

Zhang Yan came from a humble background, so he didn't feel ashamed to call himself a bandit, instead he was generous.This is admirable.

How many people want to put gold on their faces, but Zhang Yan is obviously not that kind of person.

Sima Lang also felt admiration for Zhang Yan in his heart.There was a bit of a smile on his face, and he said: "The world is in chaos today, and those who are capable are the heroes. The general has millions of people and one hundred thousand armors. He can be called a hero. And the general is a hero. However, calling himself a bandit It's too modest."

"Huh, the words are nice. But as the saying goes, if you listen to sweet words, you will lose something. Don't say too much, sir, let's just tell you what you want."

Although these words sounded good, Zhang Yan felt comfortable listening to them, but Zhang Yan was calm, knowing that he must not fall into prestige at this moment, so he snorted coldly and said.

"Wait a minute." Hearing this, Sima Lang slightly raised his hand and made a slow gesture.Then, taking a deep breath, under the eyes of Zhang Yan, Zhang Fang and his son, he opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know what the general thinks about the situation in the world?"

"The two heroes are fighting for the front, and it is difficult to win or lose at the moment." Zhang Yan said succinctly.

"Of course." Sima Lang smiled and nodded when he heard this.But then, he said: "The Four Kingdoms and the Han Dynasty should be in balance. If there is an external force to intervene, the balance will be broken. The other force is the general. If the general can help the four countries, the Han Dynasty will be broken. And if the general helps The Han Dynasty, the Four Kingdoms must be in trouble, I don’t know what I’m going to say, right?”

Sima Lang is exalting Zhang Yan, which is not in line with the principle of negotiating and lobbying.It seems too prestige.Zhang Yan was a little confused, so after pondering for a while, Zhang Yan said: "Yes."

Sima Lang didn't feel that he had compromised his own prestige, because the conditions he offered were astonishing, and Zhang Yan could not refuse them.

"Since that's the case, then Ming people don't speak dark words." Sima Lang opened his mouth and said more confidently.Then he paused, and then said: "The kingship of the Han Dynasty cannot tolerate people. What the Four Kingdoms seek is nothing more than the hegemony of Duke Huan of Qi. Combine the princes and divide the world together. If the Han Dynasty wins, the generals will be at most [-] households. A lowly minister. And if the four kingdoms win, the general will be even more powerful.”

At the end, Sima Lang looked up at Zhang Yan, overconfident.

As for Zhang Yan, Zhang Fang and his son's eyes immediately sparkled after hearing these words.Zhang Yan is fine, but Zhang Fang is already extremely excited.

"What do you mean sir?" Zhang Yan took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in her heart, and opened her mouth to ask.

"If the general is willing to help the four countries, the emperor is willing to confer the title of Marquis of Han on the general, lead the Shangdang, Hanoi, and the three counties of Hedong to Korea."
