Just when Guan Ping personally sat in charge of the overall situation of the governor of Lingling, and the war of the Southern Expedition was about to break out, the news of the death of Liu Bei, the son of the Han Dynasty, also spread among the counties in the world, and all parties responded in groups, as if the situation had fallen into an undercurrent.

In July of the same year, Liu Chan, the Son of Heaven, ascended the throne and became emperor with the support of his ministers in Chuyang, and returned to Chengdu after amnesty.

Huidu then changed the Yuan to "Jianxing", in order to establish the Han Dynasty and restore the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty.

Later, he entrusted the state affairs to Prime Minister Zhuge Liang to take charge of national affairs, also known as Zhuge Liang's father, and ordered Fazheng and Li Yan to be in charge of state affairs.

In addition, they were respectively appointed as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei Situ, and Sikong and stayed in Chengdu to recuperate for the rest of their lives, and then sent Wei Yan to guard the counties of Longyou to defend against the strong enemy Wei army.

He also promoted Wang Ping to be the Taishou of Hanzhong, and Jufu to be the Taishou of Brazil, in order to build a big city and defend Chengdu to the north.

Subsequently, under the instruction of Zhuge Liang, Liu Chan took the hussar general Ma Chao as the Marquis of Jincheng, continued to lead the army to conquer the land of Hexi, and waited for the opportunity to send sentinels out of Yumen to explore Xiliang Xushi, so as to open up the Hexi Corridor and restart the Silk Road.

Subsequently, Zhao Yun was the central protector, the general of Zhennan, and the marquis of Yongchang Ting.

With Guan Yu's stay in Chengdu, Liu Chan, the son of heaven, issued an edict to replace his father's first-line military administration with Guan Ping, the general of Nanzhong University, who was the governor of Fujie, Jing Xiang, and took charge of the overall situation.

After the change of the yuan, the amnesty, and the division of the generals were completed, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang began to work on agriculture and cultivation of the valley and retreat the people.

The haze originally caused by Liu Bei's death gradually dissipated.

The counties in Shu gradually have a trace of "the road is not forgotten, and the night is not closed".

However, in the first year of Jianxing, in August of the same year, the south caused rebellions from all sides one after another, and a war report was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Chengdu one after another, so that Prime Minister Zhuge Liang could adjudicate.

……

Chengdu City.

Prime Minister's Office.

At this moment, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang was wearing a green shirt and robe, and his tall and majestic body was sitting on the futon behind the desk, and the goose feather fan that had always been in his hand was also placed on the side of the desk.

Moments later, the two walked into the mansion side by side.

A young man on the left, dressed in a Confucian robe and with a face like a crown of jade, is none other than Ma Yan, who has joined the army.

On the right is a slightly old man, with a few goat's beards under his jaws.

Looking closely, this is the newly promoted Prime Minister's Mansion Shi Yangyi, who has been appreciated and promoted by Zhuge Liang in recent days because of his considerable talent and repeated advances, and he is also a person from Jingzhou.

The Shu Han regime, and then Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, has always been a pyramid of employment trends, generally holding heavy responsibilities or several positions either Yuan Gong generals or people from Jingzhou.

Secondly, there are outsiders such as Fa Zheng and Li Yan, who are the so-called "Dongzhou people" during Liu Zhang's period.

At the bottom of the pyramid are the native scholars of Yizhou, such as Huang Quan.

However, in order to have no lower limit, Hei Zhuge Liang's several Northern Expeditions only consumed Shu Han's own strength and did not have any results, so they used conspiracy theories such as "What Northern Expedition was just a forced move," or "The Northern Expedition was only launched to divert internal contradictions with external wars." ”

In fact, this is pure nonsense!

Because during the Zhuge Liang period, the court was peaceful, and almost all important positions were controlled by Jingzhou nationals, and the Yizhou scholars did not have the slightest opportunity to interfere.

There is no conspiracy theory that the Northern Expedition was intended to divert contradictions.

The Yizhou scholars really began to seize power when Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, Fei Yi and other virtuous ministers died one after another, and the internal contradictions that arose when the later lord Liu Chan was unable to balance the situation between the DPRK and China.

Many people will always have many misunderstandings, and impose many shortcomings and lack of talents in the late Shu Han period on Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and other periods when the country was rich and the people were strong.

In fact.

In the early and middle period of the Shu Han Dynasty, not only can it not be said that there is a lack of talents, but there are many talents.

Needless to say in the early stage, in the middle period, talents such as Wang Ping, Ma Zhong and Deng Zhi also emerged, and the court was also assisted by virtuous ministers such as Jiang Wan and Fei Yi.

The whole country is thriving.

The so-called Zhuge Liang must bow down to himself is not paying attention to the selection of talents, and it is even more ridiculous, if this is the case, what are the Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, Fei Yi and others who were elected by Zhuge after his death?

Jiang Wei, Wang Ping, and Zhang Yi are not young leaders?

It's just that the mediocrity of Liu Chan in the late Shu Han Dynasty led to the fact that only a few people such as Jiang Wei and Xiahouba were struggling to support the country and the talents were poor!

……

Walking closer, Ma Tan looked at the worry on Zhuge Liang's face, his expression was calm, and then he said softly: "The prime minister is so worried, is it related to the rebellion of the southern counties?" ”

"Definitely!"

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang slowly put the battle report aside, and then picked up his feather fan again and waved it: "Now the wealthy clan Yonghong in the land of Nanzhong colluded with all the wealthy clans to join forces with Zhu Bao, the Taishou of Qiqi, to rebel, and tricked the king of Yuewangyi, Gao Ding, to make a rebellion to divide the counties in Nanzhong, and prepare to fight against us. ”

"Now that the first emperor is in mourning, the heart of the army and the people in the country is unstable, and the political situation is unstable due to chaos in Nanzhong, and the government and the opposition are in turmoil.

After Xu Xu's words fell, Ma Jian was also quick-witted, and replied in an instant: "The prime minister thinks that Emperor Wei Cao Pi will take advantage of the internal turmoil in our army to attack us?" ”

"What you say is good."

"I'm not too worried about internal worries, if our army arrives, the thief army will be able to look at the wind and fall, but I am worried that the Wei army will take advantage of this God-given opportunity to attack me with three armies, so it will be a disaster!"

"Besides, I don't know how the Wei army will use troops this time, and I can't arrange a targeted strategy to break the enemy."

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and bluntly said the troubles in his chest.

That's it.

Yang Yi on the side smiled and arched his hand: "Prime Minister." You don't have to worry, according to Yi, the enemy in the south is nothing more than a disease of skin moss, even if Wei does its best to attack, our army will definitely be able to defend by virtue of the danger and achieve a two-front battle. ”

Yang Yi's words fell, and she said with confidence.

But he wasn't worried.

There is a danger of mountains and rivers on their own side, even if the whole line of Wei is attacked, what can they do?

"Wei Gong, you are still too objective!"

"In the past, the prime minister has always been Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, how can he be like this today?"

At this moment, Yang Yi was a little puzzled.

Zhuge Liang's image in his heart has always been tall and majestic, and this is the first time he has been worried about the rebellion.

After mentioning a few words, Zhuge Liang quickly adjusted his state and said with a smile: "That's right." You often come just in time, now the rich clans in the south, officials and barbarians collude with each other to make trouble, the situation is complicated, this is an unexpected thing, two days ago the general Guan Ping's letter has been sent to Chengdu, the letter said that he has discussed with Jingzhou civil and military, led the people to the south to conquer the state. ”

"Nearly half a month has passed, maybe the two sides have already moved troops, and now there is a rebellion in the south and central, and our army's northern defense line must prevent the Wei army from attacking on all fronts and cannot be moved lightly, and may not be able to rush to the aid of Jingxiang at a critical moment, can you walk Jingzhou for Liang?"

A seat fell.

Ma Tan smiled when he heard this, and then arched his hand and said: "The prime minister's intention is to prepare students to go to Jingxiang to think that the envoys often contact the southeast Sun clan and talk with Sun Quan, so as to avoid Jiangdong participating in the battle group at the critical moment when our army and the Wei state are in conflict, which will be unfavorable to our army?" ”

"I know my heart very well!"

"That's true."

Looking at Ma Tan, he almost figured out his mind very thoroughly, Zhuge Liang was also very happy in his heart, Ma Tan's intelligence and precision were beyond ordinary people, which was also the reason why he devoted himself to training.

While thinking about it carefully, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but think of the words of the first emperor Liu Beituo: "Ma Yan's words are exaggerated, and they should not be used!" ”

"Your Majesty, why do you say this, thinking that Ma Jian is not of great use?"

For a while, carefully observing Ma Yan's every move, Zhuge Liang was also puzzled when he thought about this.
