Chapter 2880 3143 Bingzhou Civil and Military

"Shangdang Prefect Zhang Yang?" After hearing Lin Tianyao's words, Zhang Liao frowned and thought for a moment, then said:

"This person, if you count, is still my clan uncle. By the way, when you were sleeping just now, eldest brother, Prefect Zhang Yang sent someone to bring me some things..."

"Thing, what thing?" Lin Tianyao asked curiously.

Lin Tianyao was not surprised that he wanted to make friends with Zhang Liao. After all, Zhang Liao's potential is there. It's just that the relationship between the two parties...

Zhang Liao? Zhang Su, Zhang Yang? He couldn't help but suddenly realized that all three of them were named Zhang. Moreover, Zhang Liao himself said that his family was a big family. Why hadn't he thought of this? This is not a modern place, they are all in Bingzhou, and they all come from aristocratic families, so it is natural for them to belong to the same family.

However, Zhang Su is a magistrate of Mayi. Aren't he from the same clan as the people from Zhangjiapu whom he met when he first came to this world? Could it be said that the people from Zhangjiabao and the Shangdang Prefect also belong to the same clan? How powerful is the Zhang family in this area!

Zhang Liao did not notice Lin Tianyao's expression, but continued:

"The person who sent it said it was some soft stuff, but I couldn't see it. I didn't know what it was exactly. Because I didn't look at it, I rejected it directly."

"Rejected directly? Why?" Lin Tianyao was surprised. After all, Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang, is still Zhang Liao's uncle. This uncle gave his nephew a gift, but the nephew refused directly... Although the Zhang family is a big family, the relationship between relatives is not necessarily very close. But this is too......

"When I came here, my father told me that except for the gifts from Governor Ding, I couldn't ask for anything from anyone else. Especially the ones sent by the Zhang family and Lu Bu's men, I couldn't ask for them. As for the reason, I don't know. Know why."

Did Zhang Su specifically tell you? After hearing this, Lin Tianyao was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted. Then, he couldn't help but sigh.

He stood up, stepped forward and patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder. Looking at Zhang Liao who still didn't know anything, he sighed and said:

"Listen to your father, your father, this is for your own good."

If Lin Tianyao didn't understand before, he just had some vague guesses in his heart, but now after listening to Zhang Su's words, he has completely understood.

The root cause of everything, to put it bluntly, is the internal strife in Bingzhou's official circles. In fact, infighting exists everywhere, but Bingzhou is a bit special.

Zhang Yang, if the prediction is correct, should represent the civil servants, while Lu Bu represents the military generals. After contacting the official history, Lin Tianyao quickly analyzed it.

Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang, was the real power figure in the state after Ding Yuan's death, and Lu Bu did not let Zhang Yang go after killing Ding Yuan. Moreover, at that time, I remembered that many generals under Ding Yuan were following Lu Bu, while those following Zhang Yang were just some unknown soldiers.

In the official history, it is just a passing history, but in reality, it is a serious civil and military infighting in the Bingzhou officialdom. Zhang Su obviously also knew this period of history, so he said such words. Otherwise, Zhang Su, who is also a member of the Zhang family and in an era where clan relations are so strong, should not have said such words based on emotion and reason.

Zhang Su is worried that his son will become cannon fodder in the power struggle! That's why he let his son take such a wise and self-protective path. And Zhang Liao still doesn't know that maybe Zhang Su will tell this matter at the right time, but it will definitely not be now.

However, after thinking about this, a new doubt appeared again. Since Zhang Liao is from the same family as Zhang Su, why did he join Lu Bu's sect instead of becoming Zhang Yang's subordinate? Could it be that this is also Zhang Su's arrangement?

However, even if it was Zhang Su's arrangement, after Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan and there was a new reshuffle, why did Zhang Liao still follow Lu Bu wholeheartedly? Moreover, Zhang Liao also played an irreplaceable role in the subsequent Battle of Hulao Pass.

Could it be that Zhang Liao was conquered by Lu Bu's personality charm? Lin Tianyao thought of this and immediately shook his head. To say that Lu Bu's charisma can attract talents like Zhang Liao, then a sow can't just climb a tree, it must also be able to climb into the sky.

Moreover, I know Zhang Liao's character very well. Even as Lu Bu's subordinate, he never did anything extravagant or lewd. Moreover, after this, he accepted Cao Cao's surrender with almost no struggle. This shows that Zhang Liao and Lu Bu are not the same people at all.

Lin Tianyao thought about it but couldn't come up with a suitable explanation. He looked at Zhang Liao who was sitting in front of him and still knew nothing. Lin Tianyao sighed in his heart.

Why did this guy make that choice in the first place? Even if Lu Bu took action against his clan uncle Zhang Yang, he would still follow Lu Bu? In this way, you will not be able to gain a good reputation and realize your personal ambitions.

In the end, he shook his head. Now is not the time to worry about such things. Zhang Yang is the representative of the civil servants, and now he has extended an olive branch to him, but what about the generals? Is there any possibility of reconciliation between himself and the generals, or more precisely, Lu Bu?

After thinking for a moment, Lin Tianyao was not optimistic. He didn't want to get involved in this internal fight in Bingzhou's officialdom, because no matter which side he joined, his fate was to be a pawn. And being used by others was never what he liked. However, in the face of Lu Bu's aggressive momentum, does he have any other options?

In other words, after seeing the potential of himself and Zhang Liao, Lu Bu could restrain himself and think about the problem from a realistic perspective? Lin Tianyao himself knew how unreliable this idea was.

The two sat in the room and talked for a while. Not long after, a boy came from outside to report that the governor had asked them to attend the banquet. ....
