Farmer of Shu Han Chapter 851

Chapter 851 Guanzhong and Liangzhou

"Of course I've heard of this. The prime minister once said that under the rule of Liu Zhang and his son, the land of Shu was ruled by virtue and punishment.

"The three chapters of the agreement between Emperor Gaozu and the elders in Guanzhong cannot be imitated."

Ma Di heard Lu Kai say this, and clapped his hands and smiled: "Since Ji Ping knows about this, why can't he figure out Zhang Bogong's appointment as the prefect?"

Lu Kai frowned, he still didn't understand.

Seeing Lu Kai's appearance, Ma Di knew that he still hadn't figured it out, so he had to elaborate:

"Ji Ping thinks that after Dudu Zhang came to Nanzhong, Nanzhong's law has become more lenient, or has it become stricter?"

As the prefect of Yunnan, Lu Kai's feelings couldn't be more profound. I saw him say without hesitation: “You must be strict.”

"Yes, Dudu Zhang enforces the law strictly." Ma Di said leisurely, "How is this different from the prime minister governing Shu with strict laws?"

"Ah! That's how it is!"

Lu Kai finally understood.

The southern Zhongyi people rebelled all the year round, did not fear the laws of the country, and the government did not show power. This is quite similar to the Shu land when the first emperor first entered Shu.

There is something in common with Zhang Bogong governing Nanzhong and the prime minister's strict law governing Nanzhong.

Ma Di continued to say:

"Looking at the prime minister's southern expedition, he is not afraid of the gathering of chaotic troops, but afraid of them dispersing. For the barbarians, gathering and annihilating them is far better than destroying them individually. This is the opposite of using the art of war."

Lv Kai came to a sudden: "Guyou often deliberately let Liu Zhou gather troops, and then smash them in one fell swoop."

Ma Di chuckled: "This is just the prime minister's old wisdom."

I saw him lower his voice again, "What's more, Liu Zhou's rebellion caused a lot of labor to build the official road from Nongdong to Yuyu!"

Is this Feng Junhou old wisdom?

Lu Kai looked at Ma Su and couldn't help applauding.

"In the past, there was Hua Niangzi to appease the villages, and later, Liu Zhou rebelled wantonly. In this way, it is self-evident who in Yunnan County is sincere to the Han and who has a wrong heart!"

Ma Di picked up a black chess piece and put it on the board while talking:

"After great chaos, there must be great order. If all those who have misbehavior in Yunnan County go away, Ji Ping will have no constraints, and the herdsmen can feel at ease."

As he spoke, he pointed to the northwest again, "There is Yuexuan County in the north of Yunnan County. If Ji Ping can connect the two counties, there will be no worries of turmoil in Nanzhong. It will be a great contribution."

Yunnan County has Yuexuan in the north, Jianning in the east, and Yongchang in the south. It is the hub of the south, central and south.

It is probably impossible to become the second Yuejuan, but as long as it becomes the second Jianning, the big man has completed the direct control of the entire Nanzhong area.

Great achievements, indeed worthwhile.

Don't believe me, take a look at the current Dianchi Lake?

Xing Han Hui only recruits barbarian people to work in the plantations every year, and by the way, it can also educate the barbarian people, teach the barbarian people to farm, transform the raw workers into mature bureaucrats, and promote the peace between Han and Barbarians, etc.

These should be headaches for Nanzhong local officials but have to do, and Xinghanhui can help solve most of them.

Why is Xinghanhui so capable?

It is because Xinghanhui opened a school in Yuexuan.

Out of a hundred barbarian youths who came out of there, probably none of them could go to Nanxiang Academy to continue their studies.

But sending them down to the Nanzhong Plantation, it is not easy to use them!

So turning Yunnan County into the second Jianning County is simply a very simple matter.

As long as the official road from Nongdong to Pingyuze can be restored to the smoothness of the former Han Dynasty, Xinghanhui will open the plantation there.

From this point of view, Liu Zhou's rebellion is simply a timely help.

After the rebellion is quelled, not to mention ten or eight years of stability in Yunnan, only three to five years will be enough.

With labor, are you afraid that you will not be able to get through the official road from Nongdong to Yuze in three to five years?

No way, I can sell another wave of heads later to win the favor of King Feng.

At that time, as long as Feng Guiwang lets Xinghan leak something from his fingers, and Yunnan can follow Yuexuan to drink soup, it will be a huge profit.

Lv Taishou, a senior city official and mayor of a prefecture-level city, imagined the future of Yunnan County, and almost overturned the chessboard with joy on the spot:

"I was only thinking about putting down the rebellion, but Xiaochang was able to make three plans in one step and set a ten-year strategy for Yunnan. I am not as good as that!"

To put it bluntly, as long as he can follow what Ma Di said, the prefect of Yunnan County is a dog, and he is also a dog prefect loved by the people.

The premise is to be able to get online with Xinghanhui.

Taishou Lu may be lacking in other things, but he does not lack this line.

Anyway, Ghost King Feng has already saved my life, so if I ask him to help me out, what's the problem?

"Youchang is such a great talent, it's really wronged to stay in Nanzhong!"

Lu Kai sighed, feeling sorry for Ma Di, and then he suddenly remembered something:

"I heard that Longyou Huqiang School Wei's Mansion wants to open an examination class to select talents. Anyone who aspires to serve the great man, regardless of good or bad, can go there to take the examination."

"In my opinion, Feng Junhou is probably trying to reserve talents for governing Liangzhou in the future. If Xiaochang can go to have a try, he will be able to show his ambition."

A light flashed in Ma Di's eyes, but it quickly dimmed again, shaking his head and smiling bitterly:

"Someone made a big mistake, and now he is able to sit here peacefully. It is already a magnanimous prime minister. Feng Hou is benevolent. How dare you hope again?"

Lu Kai sighed again when he heard the words.

The first half of the ninth year of Jianxing was much calmer than the second half of the eighth year of Jianxing.

Except for the Han Dynasty dispatching troops to attack Liangzhou, the rest of the border is quiet.

The Great Sima Cao Zhen of the Wei State, since Xiao Guan was defeated and returned to Chang'an, he felt shameless to face the Wei Emperor Cao Rui.

In addition, at some point in Chang'an, there were rumors of "Da Sima Wading" all over the city, which made Cao Zhen feel ashamed, hated and angry.

By the beginning of spring in the ninth year of Jianxing, Cao Zhen became ill.

As the days passed, the condition not only did not improve, but became more serious.

Knowing that his fate was not long, he hurriedly dragged his sick body to the memorial again, repeating what he said in the last memorial, and asked Wei Emperor Cao Rui to send Sima Yi to preside over the overall situation in Guanzhong.

Cao Rui considered again and again, and decided to withdraw the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, order Wang Chang to be stationed in Wancheng, and then move Wuqiu Jian as Jingzhou Inspector.

At the same time, let Sima Yi, who returned to Jingzhou from Hanzhong, arrange the affairs of Jingzhou and return to Beijing immediately.

Sima Yi got the emperor's will, did not dare to neglect, arranged everything, and rushed back to Luoyang overnight.

When he saw Cao Rui who had received him privately in the East Hall of Tai Chi Hall, he couldn't help being surprised:

"Why is Your Majesty so emaciated?"

But seeing the emperor's pale face, blue eyes, and his whole body looking sluggish, how can he be as energetic as Sima Yi saw when he left Luoyang?

"In the past few years, the captives of Shu and Wu Kou have successively violated the frontier, and none of the officials have shared my worries. I am so tired!" Cao Rui leaned back on the chair and pointed to the seat below, "General, please sit down. .”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Sima Yi was still in high spirits when he came back from Jingzhou, Cao Rui couldn't help being a little envious:

"I remember, the general already knows the destiny?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the veteran is already in his fifties."

"Hey, I'm only twenty-seven, but I feel tired all the time. I'm not as energetic as the general. Does the general have a way to keep healthy?"

Cao Rui sighed.

Sima Yi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty bears the hope of all the people. You work hard day and night, so you are exhausted. A diligent and wise ruler is the blessing of the world. But please take care of yourself, so that you can govern the world better."

"And what is the way for the old minister to maintain his health? It's just more patience in everything and less effort."

Cao Rui heard the words, smiled wryly and said:

"People can be tolerant, but national security can be tolerant? Han captives and Wu Kou have repeatedly violated the border, can I sleep peacefully?"

"I asked the general to return to Beijing this time because I want to ask the general to preside over the Guanzhong affairs. Will the general be willing?"

Sima Yi who had just sat down quickly stood up again: "Your Majesty has a call, how dare the old minister shirk state affairs? It's just Da Sima..."

"Da Sima is seriously ill, and now he is unable to treat the matter, so I want him to return to Luoyang to recuperate."

Cao Rui waved his hand and directly interrupted Sima Yi:

"Looking at the top and bottom, the only person who can succeed the Great Sima is the Great General. I only hope that the Great General will arrive in Guanzhong. Don't let me down."

"The people of Shu are cunning and stubborn, and I can only repay the king's kindness with my life."

Sima Yi kowtowed.

"That's right, the Shu captives are cunning, fierce and stubborn, and they are really the troubles of my confidant!"

Recalling the recent years of fighting with the Shu Kingdom, the Wei Kingdom has never taken advantage of it, Cao Rui has a worried look on his face, "The general is going to fight the Shu captives in Guanzhong, is there any countermeasure?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the old minister sees that what Ge Bandit and Feng Bandit have done these years are all echoes of reality and reality. The main thing is to mobilize the troops of the Great Wei, and then attack them with surprise troops."

"Therefore, the veteran wants to deal with these two people. The only way to deal with these two people is to stick to the key points, dig deep trenches, and build strong walls, so as not to respond to their tricks without moving. After seeing their truth and reality, they can save them."

Cao Rui was unwilling to hear the words:

"In this way, Wei is on the defensive, fearing that it will hit the morale of the army."

In fact, in Cao Rui's heart, he was very eager to take back Longyou.

After all, Mount Qi is one of the three strategically important places to guard against Shu and Wu.

If Qishan is not lost, why is Great Wei worrying about today?

"Your Majesty, as soon as Longyou was lost, and the Shu captives occupied Longyou and leaned over Guanzhong, the Great Wei has become defensive and has no choice but to defend!"

Sima Yi tried his best to persuade him.

There was Zhang He in the front, and Cao Zhen in the back, and they all broke their halberds in front of the Shu captives.

This time, it's finally my turn. I can't be too careful when it comes to matters of life.

If this His Majesty waits for him to arrive in Guanzhong, he wants to issue an edict to lead the army to conquer Shu like last year, that will be a matter of life.

Cao Rui didn't know that what Sima Yi said was the truth.

Even if he didn't know it before, he has seen it clearly after the battle of Xiaoguan.

At this time, he especially missed the first two years of his tenure.

defeated Soochow in the first year.

In the second year, Zhuge Liang, Minister of Shu, entered Hanzhong.

Thinking about it now, the people of Shu were preparing for the battle of Longyou at that time, so preemptive strikes were the best way.

Unfortunately, one mistake caused today's predicament.

Cao Rui's thoughts raced, and finally turned into a sigh: "The general will go to Guanzhong, and the military and government can take it for himself. I only have one request. Guanzhong is not lost, and Chang'an is not lost, is it possible?"

As the emperor, when he said this, his attitude was already too low.

Sima Yi was shocked, his face was full of emotion, and at the same time, there was a little sadness, and he kowtowed again with tears in his eyes: "I will swear to defend Guanzhong to the death!"

Just as Han Guo was sharpening his sword and rushing towards Liangzhou, Wei Guo took the opportunity to complete the exchange of commanders in Guanzhong.

Cao Zhen finally failed to make it to Luoyang, and died of a serious illness on the way.

After Sima Yi arrived in Guanzhong, he first strengthened the integrity of Chang'an and Tongguan, and at the same time inspected important places such as Yicheng and Qianxian.

In accordance with the words of Guo Huai, the governor of Yongzhou, he vigorously cultivated the fields and reclaimed wasteland, and prepared his troops for the battle of Guanzhong that would come sooner or later.

Because he knew that after the battle of Xiaoguan, Guanzhong had no way to put pressure on Longyou for the time being.

Without the pressure from Guanzhong, Liangzhou would fall to the hands of the Han people.

Once Liangzhou falls, the Han people will no longer have to worry about the future, and there will definitely be a big battle in Guanzhong.

Guanzhong's Wei army changed commanders, so naturally they couldn't hide it from Longyou and Hanzhong.

But at this time, the big man's attention is on Liangzhou. As long as the Guanzhong Wei army keeps its own place and allows the big man to eat Liangzhou quietly, the prime minister of the big Han has no intention of looking for trouble for the Guanzhong Wei army.

At the end of July in the ninth year of Jianxing, Zhao Yun personally led an army of 20,000, and began to try to march from Lingju to Liangzhou.

From Lingju to Liangzhou, you have to climb a mountain called Hongchiling.

is the gateway and throat of Liangzhou, as well as the hub of the Silk Road, the terrain is dangerous.

Xu Miao had deployed the Wei army here a long time ago, and dug more trenches and barriers.

Zhao Yun prepared for more than half a month in Lingju, but he was still blocked by this mountain, hesitating and difficult to enter.

Let Xu Miao think he had a plan, and said to the left and right: "Everyone in the world says Zhao Yun has a brave strategy, but in my opinion, it's nothing more than that."

"Thinking about it, he only thinks that most of the business travelers enter Liangzhou on leave, and that it is easy for a large army to enter Liangzhou, but he doesn't think about leaving from Dadoubagu."

"Even if he goes to Wuwei from Tanyin County, as long as the food and grass can be supplied, it will be easier than going to Lingju."

Unexpectedly, not long after his words came out, news came that the cavalry of the Han Army from Yuyin County was attacking Wuwei.

Xu Miao was shocked, and quickly summoned the Wei army to defend Wuwei.

What made him even more unexpected was that just after Wei Jun arrived at Zanggu in Wuwei, the Huren Jingqi who were guarding the Dadou Valley suddenly mutinied and turned around and rushed straight to Zhangye behind Wuwei.

Xu Miao asked the Hu people to guard the Dadouba Valley because there were not enough Han Chinese troops on the opposite side of the Dadouba Valley.

So he transferred back to Wuwei, which is more important for the Wei army to guard, and left the Hu people to guard the Dadou Bagu, which was not a threat for the time being.

Where did you expect that the dog guarding the door of your house would suddenly become a wolf and start biting people reflexively?

Under Wuwei's back and belly, Xu Miao was angry and anxious, his eyes were dark for a while, and he almost couldn't catch his breath.

The Han army marched in three directions, shaking Liangzhou greatly, and everyone was in danger.

The news that Wuwei and Zhangye fell into military turmoil within a few days quickly spread from Jiuquan County to Dunhuang.

To the east of Dunhuang, there is a mountain called Sanwei Mountain.

The three peaks of its mountain stand tall, as if about to fall.

In the hinterland of Sanwei Mountain, there is a spring with sweet spring water, and a large oasis is formed around the spring water.

This place is regarded as a winter place by a Qianghu tribe all the year round.

It was just dawn on this day, and several Hu Qi rode into the oasis from outside, shouting loudly in Hu language.

The Hu people who stayed here were awakened one after another.

After a while, the leader of the barbarians rushed out of a large tent and shouted loudly:

"Liu Langjun, good news, great news!"

There was movement in the tent, and after a while, Liu Liang opened the curtain and walked out with eyes wide open, yawning continuously:

"What good news? Could it be that the army of the big man has come?"

While talking, he reached down to grab it, and then fastened his belt again.

No way, in this kind of environment, even if you want to be particular, you can't be particular about it.

Part of the soap I brought over was used to buy Hu Ren Qu Shuai's friendship, part was used to coax Hu Nu, and the rest was used for bathing every day, and I used it up a few days ago.

It seems that lice have begun to crawl on my body, how should I pay attention to this?

The early morning in the mountains was already a bit cool, and it was in a place like Liangzhou, Liu Liang realized that the clothes on his body were a little thin after scratching the itch.

"How did Liu Langjun know? Could it be that we made an appointment earlier?"

The leader of the Hu people asked in great surprise.

"ah?"

Liu Liang was halfway through his yawns, unable to close his mouth for a long time, and just stared blankly at the leader of the barbarians.

I was thinking of going back to Longyou to get some more supplies to work on, so this is the call?

The leader of the barbarians rubbed his hands together and whispered excitedly:

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, as long as the big man really calls, I will definitely respond with the whole family. At that time, Mr. Liu, don't forget to promise the villain."

As long as the Han people can really fight here, then the Wei people are basically finished. Responding to the Han people, there is no risk at all, so why not do it?

Thinking of all the rumors about Longyou that have been circulating in Liangzhou over the years, the heads of the Hu people felt a burst of enthusiasm.
