Nanyang County is located slightly south of the center of the vast Chinese land and is under the jurisdiction of the Jingzhou Provincial Administration. The political center of Nanyang County, the seat of government, was established in Wan County (now located in Nanyang City, Henan Province). It has a wide jurisdiction and has as many as 37 counties, including some special marquisates, counties, towns and other administrative regions.

At this moment, Lü Bu led Guan Yu, the god of wealth who was feared by the world in his previous life, and six loyal and brave personal guards, and resolutely stepped into the mysterious space created by the transmission function of the space-time router system. The first time they followed Lü Bu through the space-time transportation function, they felt as if they had traveled through an endless time tunnel, and finally they were dizzy and landed directly on the land of Wan County (now Wancheng District, Nanyang City) at a speed like a fairy from the sky.

At this moment, Liu Biao, the Marquis of the Northern Army, and Liu Yan, the governor of Nanyang County, were both relatives of the Han Dynasty and royal nobles. They witnessed the increasingly corrupt court of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the gradual decline and ruin of the royal family, and they were also worried all day long.

Therefore, the two decided to keep giving advice to Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, to show their loyalty to the court: "Nowadays, many provincial governors and prefects have sought official positions through bribery and other means, and have been corrupt and perverted the law. They have imposed heavy taxes on the people and have lost their hearts and minds, causing public resentment. If this continues, the country will no longer be a country! For now, the court should urgently select honest and upright people to serve as the chief officials of prefectures and counties, so as to stabilize the people's hearts and revive the government!"

As expected, not long after, Liu Yan got the imperial appointment as the governor of Yizhou (Sichuan and Chongqing). In this way, he could finally get away from the complicated and chaotic world in the Central Plains and find a relatively peaceful pure land.

Liu Biao and Liu Yan, both relatives of the Han royal family, were descendants of Liu Yu, the fourth son of Emperor Jing of Han and King Gong of Lu. Relying on his status as a relative of the Han royal family, Liu Yan was first appointed as a Langzhong by the court of the Eastern Han Dynasty. His subsequent positions were continuously promoted, and he was promoted step by step to the positions of prefect of Nanyang County and governor of Yizhou, while Liu Biao became the governor of Jingzhou.

You should know that during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the practice of selling official positions and titles was prevalent throughout the country and gradually evolved into a fixed system. In addition to the emperor's supreme throne, almost every official position could be obtained through money transactions. This phenomenon led to widespread corruption throughout the country, and the lives of the people became increasingly difficult.

Liu Yan, a relative of the Han Dynasty, was filled with worry and helplessness when he saw this scene, but he had no other choice. If possible, he also hoped to win the throne of the emperor. In order to protect himself and stay away from this chaotic and turbulent situation, Liu Yan advised Emperor Ling of Han, saying that he wanted to go to various states and counties to serve as a local official, set an example for the court officials, and presented a large amount of gold and silver wealth.

Soon after, Emperor Ling of Han issued an edict to appoint Liu Yan as the governor of Jiaozhou (most of Vietnam). However, at this time, there was a minister in the court named Dong Fu, who secretly told Liu Yan: "Yizhou contains the aura of the Son of Heaven." Liu Yan was immediately curious and interested when he heard this. So, he immediately asked Emperor Ling of Han to transfer to the post of governor of Yizhou. Emperor Ling of Han readily approved his request and immediately ordered him to be transferred to Yizhou to serve as governor of Yizhou.

After becoming the governor of Yizhou, Liu Yan's ambitions became even greater. He was not satisfied with just the current territory. He ordered his men to attack Hanzhong and killed Hanzhong's governor Su Gu. Liu Yan thought Hanzhong was in his hands, but he did not expect Zhang Lu to betray him and take Hanzhong for himself.

When Liu Yan found out, he was furious and cursed Zhang Lu as a villain. He wanted to send troops to fight Zhang Lu, but many powerful people in Yizhou did not listen to him and took the opportunity to make trouble. Liu Yan had to stabilize his position and gradually consolidate his power over the years. He constantly eliminated dissidents and appointed officials from top to bottom in Yizhou on his own, gradually becoming the veritable "King of Sichuan and Chongqing".
