"I have naturally heard of this, the prime minister once said that under the rule of Liu Zhang's father and son, Shu is not virtuous and political, and the punishment is not suppressed, so it should be used as a law and limited to a knight."

"Don't stick to the three chapters of the covenant between Emperor Gaozu and the father of Guanzhong."

When Ma Jian heard Lu Kai say this, he slapped his hands and smiled: "Since Ji Ping knows about this, why can't he figure out Zhang Bogong's appointment to be too guarded now?" ”

Lu Kai frowned, he still didn't understand.

When Ma Jian saw Lu Kai's appearance, he knew that he still hadn't figured it out, so he had to elaborate further:

"Ji Ping thinks that after Zhang Du was appointed to Nanzhong, the law of Nanzhong became magnanimous, or did it become strict?"

As the Taishou of Yunnan, Lu Kai's feelings could not be more profound, and he said without hesitation: "I am strict." ”

"Yes, Zhang Dudu enforces the law strictly." Ma Tan said leisurely, "What's the difference between this and the prime minister's strict rule of law?" ”

"Yikes! I see! ”

Lu Kai finally understood.

The people of Nanzhongyi, perennial rebellion, not afraid of national law, and the prestige of the official government are not raised, which is quite similar to the Shu land when the first emperor first entered Shu.

Zhang Bogong [567 Chinese] ruled Nanzhong, and there was a common point with Cheng Xiang's strict rule of law in Nanzhong.

I only heard Ma Jian continue:

"Looking at the prime minister's southern expedition again, he is not afraid of the chaotic army gathering, but he is afraid that they will disperse, and in terms of covering the Yi people, gathering and annihilating them is far better than breaking them, which is the anti-use of the art of war."

Lu Kai suddenly said: "Therefore, the young man often deliberately let Liu Zhou gather troops and break it in one fell swoop." ”

Ma Tan smiled: "This is just the prime minister's old wisdom." ”

I saw that he lowered his voice again, "What's more, Liu Zhou is in chaos, and there is a lot of labor to build the official road from Langdong to Yuyu!" ”

This Feng Junhou is wise?

Lu Kai looked at Ma Jian and couldn't help but applaud.

"In front of the flower lady to appease the villages, after there is Liu Zhou wanton chaos, in this way, who in Yunnan County is sincere to the Han, who is wrong, it is self-evident!"

As he spoke, Ma Tan picked up a black chess piece and put it on the chessboard:

"After the great chaos, there will be great governance. If the wrongdoers in Yunnan County are gone, Ji Ping will no longer be constrained, and the herdsmen can rest assured. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the northwest again, "There is Yueshan County in the north of Yunnan County, if Ji Ping can connect the two counties, then there will be no worries about turmoil in Nanzhong, which is a great achievement." ”

Yunnan County has Yueshan in the north, Jianning in the east, and Yongchang in the south, which is the hub of southern, central and southern regions.

It is estimated that it is impossible to become the second Yueshan, but as long as it becomes the second Jianning, the Han Dynasty will complete the direct control of all regions in Nanzhong.

The merit is great, and it is indeed worthwhile.

Don't believe it, look at the current Dianchi Lake?

Every year, the Xinghan Society just recruits Yi people to work on the plantation, and by the way, it can also educate the Yi people, teach the Yi people to farm, transform the living bureaucrats into mature bureaucrats, and promote the peace of the Han and Yi people.

These should be a headache for the local magistrates in Nanzhong but have to do the work, and the Xinghan Association can help solve most of them.

Why does Xinghan have such ability?

It's because the Xinghan Society has opened a school on the Yueshan side.

Although there are a hundred Yiren boys who come out of there, none of them may be able to go to Nanxiang School to continue their studies.

But sending them to the South Middle Plantation is not too easy to use!

Therefore, it is simply a simple matter to turn Yunnan County into a second Jianning County.

As long as the official road from Langdong to Yuze can be restored to the smoothness of the former Han Dynasty, so that the Xinghan Society can open the plantation there.

From this point of view, Liu Zhou's rebellion is simply a send-off.

After the rebellion is put down, not to mention that Yunnan can be stable for ten or eight years, only three or five years will be enough.

With labor, are you afraid that you won't be able to get through the official road from Langdong to Yuze in three or five years?

I can't say it, I can sell another wave of heads in the future, brushing up on the favor of Feng Ghost King.

At that time, as long as King Feng Ghost King let Xinghan leak something from his fingers, and Yunnan can drink soup after Yueshan, it will be a big profit.

Lu Taishou, a senior city official and mayor of a prefecture-level city, imagined the future of Yunnan County, and was so happy that he almost overturned the chessboard on the spot:

"I just want to be able to quell the rebellion, but I can plan three times in one step and set a ten-year strategy for Yunnan, so I might as well do it!"

To put it bluntly, as long as you can follow what Ma Tan said, the Taishou of Yunnan County is a dog, and it is also a dog Taishou who is loved by the people.

The premise is that it can be connected with Xinghan.

Lu Taishou may lack other possibilities, but there is no shortage of this line.

Anyway, Ghost King Feng has already saved my life, so I'll let him help again, what's the problem?

"Youchang is such a talent, it's too aggrieved to stay in Nanzhong!"

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

"I heard that the Lieutenant's Mansion of Longyou Huqiang wants to open an examination class to select talents, but anyone who is interested in serving the Han Dynasty, regardless of the good and low, can go to the other place to take the exam."

"In my opinion, Feng Junhou is afraid that he is saving talents for the future governance of Liangzhou, if he can go and give it a try, he will definitely be able to show his ambitions."

A bright light flashed in Ma Tan's eyes, but it quickly dimmed, shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"A certain person made a big mistake, and now he can sit here in peace, he is already the prime minister magnanimous, Feng Hou is benevolent, and he dares to have hope again?"

When Lu Kai heard this, he also sighed again.

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

Except for the Han State to transfer troops to attack Liangzhou, the rest of the border is quiet.

Cao Zhen, the great Sima of Wei, after Xiao Guan's defeat and retreat to Chang'an, admitted that he had no face to face Emperor Cao Rui of Wei.

In addition, Chang'an didn't know when, and the city was full of rumors of "wading Sima", which made Cao Zhen ashamed, hateful and angry.

As soon as the spring of the ninth year of Jianxing began, Cao Zhen couldn't afford to be sick.

As the days went by, the condition did not improve, but became more and more serious.

He knew that his fate was short, so he hurriedly dragged his sick body to the recital again, repeated what he said in the previous recital, and asked Emperor Wei Cao Rui to send Sima Yi to preside over the overall situation of Guanzhong.

Cao Rui thought twice, withdrew the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, ordered Wang Chang to garrison Wancheng, and then moved Biqiu Jian to the Jingzhou Assassin History.

At the same time, Sima Yi, who had returned to Jingzhou from Hanzhong, arranged the affairs of Jingzhou and returned to Beijing immediately.

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

When he was privately received by Emperor Cao Rui in the East Hall of the Taiji Palace, he couldn't help but be taken aback:

"Why is Your Majesty so haggard?"

But seeing Cao Rui's pale face, blue eyes, and the whole person looked unenergetic, how could he have the high spirits he saw when Sima Yi left Luoyang?

"In the past few years, Shu and Wu Kou have committed crimes one after another, and the ministers have no one to share my worries, I am really too tired!" Cao Rui leaned back in the chair and pointed to the place below, "General, please take a seat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing Sima Yi rushing back from Jingzhou, still in good spirits, Cao Rui couldn't help but feel a little envious:

"I remember, the general already knows the destiny of heaven, right?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the old minister is already fifty and two."

"Alas, I'm only seven out of twenty, but I feel tired all the time, and I'm not as energetic as the general, but the general has a way to cultivate himself?"

Cao Rui sighed.

Sima Yi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty bears the hopes of all the people, and he is tired day and night, so he is tired, diligent and wise, and the blessing of the world." But please also ask Your Majesty to cherish your own body, so that you can better govern the world. ”

"And how can the old minister have a way to cultivate his body? It's just to be more tolerant in everything and less to be willing. ”

When Cao Rui heard this, he smiled bitterly:

"People can tolerate it, but national security can tolerate it? Han and Wu Kou have repeatedly violated the border, can Wu'an sleep? ”

"I asked the general to return to Beijing this time, just to ask the general to preside over the affairs of Guanzhong, is the general willing?"

Sima Yi, who had just sat down, hurriedly stood up again: "Your Majesty, but there is a summons, how dare the old minister shirk state affairs?" It's just the big Sima ......"

"Da Sima is seriously ill and is now unable to manage things, so I want him to return to Luoyang to recuperate."

Cao Rui waved his hand and directly interrupted Sima Yi's words:

"Looking at the top and bottom, the only one who can replace the great Sima is the general, I just hope that the general will arrive in Guanzhong, don't lose my hope."

"The Shu people are cunning and stubborn, and the ministers can only repay the king's kindness with their lives."

Sima Yi kowtowed.

"Yes, Shu Yu is cunning and stubborn, it is really my Great Wei's henchman!"

Thinking of the competition with Shu in the past few years, Wei has never taken advantage, Cao Rui has a worried look on his face, "The general is in Guanzhong and Shu is holding each other, can there be a countermeasure?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the old minister's view of what the Ge thief and the Feng thief have done over the years are all fictional and real, with the mobilization of the Great Wei troops as the key, and then the surprise soldiers to attack them."

"Therefore, when the old minister wants to come, to deal with these two people, the only way to do it is to guard the key points, rub the deep trenches, build strong walls, and respond to their tricks without moving.

When Cao Rui heard this, he was unwilling:

"In this way, Dawei is on the defensive, and I am afraid that it will hit the morale of the army."

In Cao Rui's heart, he is actually very eager to take back Longyou.

After all, Qishan is one of the three strategic points of Shu and Wu.

If Qishan is not lost, why does Dawei have today's worries?

"Your Majesty, since the loss of Longyou, Shu Yu has bowed down to the middle of the pass according to Longyou, and Dawei has become a defensive position, and he has to defend it!"

Sima Yi tried his best to persuade him.

There was Zhang He in front and Cao Zhen in the back, all of whom were broken in front of Shuyu.

This time, it was finally his turn to intervene in the matter of his life, and he couldn't be too careful.

In case His Majesty waits for himself to arrive in Guanzhong, and wants to issue an edict to let himself lead the army to attack Shu like last year, it will be a matter of human life.

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

Even if he didn't know it before, he had already seen it clearly after the Battle of Xiaoguan.

At this time, he especially missed the first two years of his ascension to the throne.

In the first year, Soochow was defeated.

In the second year, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu, was stationed in Hanzhong.

Now that I think about it, at that time, the Shu people were basically preparing for the battle of Longyou, so preemptively striking was the best way.

It's a pity that one trick was missed, resulting in today's dilemma.

Cao Rui's thoughts were scattered, and finally turned into a sigh: "The general is going to Guanzhong, the military and government can take it for themselves, I only have one request, Guanzhong will not be lost, Chang'an will not be lost, can it?" ”

As an emperor, when he said this, his attitude couldn't be lower.

Sima Yi's body was shocked, his face was full of emotion, and at the same time, he was a little sad, and kowtowed again with tears in his eyes: "Minister, you will swear to defend Guanzhong!" ”

Just when the Han State was sharpening its sword Huo Huo to Liangzhou, the Wei State took the opportunity to complete the transfer of the commander of Guanzhong.

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

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

He also took the words of Guo Huai, the assassin of Yongzhou, vigorously reclaimed the fields, and vigorously fought for the battle of Guanzhong that would come sooner or later.

Because he knew that in the first battle of Xiao Guan, Guanzhong had no way to put pressure on Longyou for the time being.

Without the pressure of Guanzhong, Liangzhou would have perished at the hands of the Han Chinese.

Once Liangzhou is dead, the Han people will have no worries, and there will definitely be a big war in Guanzhong.

The Wei army in Guanzhong changed its commander, so naturally it could not hide from Longyou and Hanzhong.

But at this time, the attention of the Han was on Liangzhou, as long as the Wei army in Guanzhong guarded itself and let the Han eat Liangzhou quietly, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty had no intention of going to trouble the Wei army in Guanzhong.

At the end of July of 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, it is necessary to cross a mountain, which is called Hongchi Ridge.

It is the gateway and throat of Liangzhou, and it is also the key point of the silk road, and the terrain is dangerous.

Xu Miao had already arranged the Wei army here, and also dug more trenches and barriers.

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

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

"Thinking about it, he only thinks that most of the business travelers are to live in Liangzhou, and he thinks that it is easy for the army to enter Liangzhou, but he doesn't think about leaving from Dadou Tugu."

"He just went to Luyin County to enter Wuwei, as long as the grain and grass can be supplied, it is easier than going to Lingju."

Not long after his words were spoken, news came that the Han army cavalry was attacking Wuwei in Luyin County.

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

What he didn't expect was that the Wei army of the Great Dou Ba Valley had just arrived at Wuwei Zang Gu, and the Hu Ren Jing Cavalry guarding the Great Dou Ba Valley suddenly mutinied, turned around and rushed straight to Zhang Ye, the rear of Wu Wei.

Xu Miao asked the Hu people to guard the Dadou Tu Valley, because there was not a sufficient number of Han troops on the opposite side of the Da Dou Tu Valley.

Therefore, he transferred back to the Wei army to guard the more important Wuwei, and left the Dadou Tugu Valley, which was not a threat for the time being, to be guarded by the Hu people.

Where did you think that even the dog guarding the door of the house suddenly became a vicious wolf and reflexively began to bite people?

Under Wu Wei's back and abdomen, Xu Miao was angry and anxious, and there was a burst of blackness in front of him, and he almost didn't catch his breath.

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

The news that Wuwei and Zhangye had fallen into a rebellion within a few days soon spread from Jiuquan County to Dunhuang.

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

The three peaks of its mountain are towering, as if in danger.

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 year round.

As soon as dawn was in the morning, several Hu riders 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 Hu people ran and wrapped his hands in wool, rushed to the outside of a large tent, and shouted:

"Liu Langjun, good news, great news!"

There was movement in the tent, and after a while, Liu Liang's eyes relaxed, and he kept yawning and opened the curtain and walked out:

"What's the good news? Could it be that the army of the Han is coming? ”

As he spoke, he reached down and grabbed it, then re-fastened his belt.

There's no way, in this kind of environment, you can't pay attention to it even if you want to.

Part of the soap I brought over was used to buy the friendship of the leader of the Hu people, and part of it was used to coax the Hu girl, and the rest of the little was used up for bathing every day, and it was used up a few days ago.

It seems that lice have begun to crawl on his body, how do you ask him to pay attention to it?

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

"How did Liu Langjun know? Could it be that it was made early? ”

The leader of the Hu people asked in surprise.

"Huh?"

Liu Liang yawned halfway, his mouth couldn't close for a long time, and he looked at the leader of the Hu people in a daze.

I still want to go back to Longyou and get more supplies to operate, and this is the call?

The leader of the Hu people rubbed his hands and whispered excitedly:

"Liu Langjun and rest assured, as long as the big man really calls, I will definitely respond. At that time, Liu Langjun must not forget to promise the villain. ”

As long as the Han people can really hit here, then the Wei people are basically finished, and responding to the Han people, there is no risk at all, why not?

Thinking of the various rumors about Longyou that have been circulating in Liangzhou over the years, the Hu people's leaders are hot in their hearts.
