Chapter 360: Stabilizing Yizhou
In April of the sixteenth year of Jian'an, Chengdu Ping.
In June, Liu Zhang's generals Wu Ban, Yan Yan, Zhang Ren, and Huang Quan, who joined the army, returned to Shun. When Guan Ping got the news, he immediately ordered Zhang Bao, Mi Wei, Zhao Tong, and Ma Jian to be the generals of Zhonglang, with Li Fei as the protector and Zhou Xiong as the leader, and led the shogunate ministers south to Yonecang Road.
With Yan Pu as the Taishou of Hanzhong, leading the county.
With Xu Shu as the general, he led Wang Ping and Ding Feng to go south to Baishui Pass, and Jiameng Pass incorporated Liu Zhang's people, and Liu Zhang's general Yang Huai and others were all disarmed, and the land house was given wealth and wealth.
Xu Shu's authority to lead the army was expanded to more than 20,000 people, Wang Ping, Ding Feng 10,000 people, after the collection of people, more than 40,000 people, three generals, to Yinping County, Wudu County respectively garrisoned, to guard against Cao's army.
At this moment, Ma Chao and Han Sui had been defeated, but Cao Cao had withdrawn. Han then retreated to Qiangzhong, intending to make a comeback. And Ma Chao quickly gained a firm foothold in Longyou and made waves again.
On the east road, Zhang Fei, Ding Feng, Liao Hua and others were ordered to collect Yan Yan, and the remnants of Wu Ban restored their troops. Ding Feng and Liao Hua led the naval army back to Jingzhou, Tunyou River Estuary, and guarded against Sun Quan.
And Zhang Feitun is in Jiangzhou and sits in Bazhong.
ordered Wu Ban, Yan Yan returned to Chengdu to standby. Wu Ban was ordered to resign from the official position. After Guan Ping learned the news, he sent someone to speak earnestly and asked Yan Yan to go to Chengdu.
Let's say that after Guan Ping went south, he first joined Gan Ning and Wei Yan's men and horses on the Micang Road, and then surrendered Zhang Ren and Huang Quan's men and horses.
The sun is shining brightly and the autumn breeze is cool.
In front of the gate of Shancheng, Zhang Ren and Huang Quan led the generals of various armies out of the city to greet Guan Ping. The faces of the people were all dejected, and it was difficult to hide their despair.
Zhang Ren turned around and looked in the direction of Yizhou, couldn't help crying, and sighed: "Now that the lord has surrendered to the state, I have to follow." But I didn't want to serve the Guan father and son, and after the handover of the soldiers and horses, I thought back to farming. ”
"Hey." Huang Quan also sighed, Wei Yan really descended from the sky, and the situation was decided in one fell swoop. They really can't stop the Guan father and son.
Huang Quan is also thinking about his own way out, of course he is also loyal to Liu Zhang, if Liu Zhang is still there, he will not have half evil thoughts, but now that Liu Zhang has surrendered, the Guan family and his son are unstoppable, Huang Quan also has some other thoughts.
Huang Quan is conceited and has the ability to plan, so he will definitely not stop and return to the mountains and forests.
Soon after, there was a movement of people and horses. On the mountain road ahead, a large number of people and horses came up the mountain. A young general in the front entered the city first and took over the mountain city. Not long after, Guan Pingcai, under the protection of Zhou Xiong and Li Fei, came to Zhang Ren, Huang Quan and others.
"I am General Yang Wu Guan Ping, who are you waiting for Zhang Ren and Huang Quan?" Guan Ping sat on the horse, holding the whip in his right hand, and was in high spirits.
Glancing at the surrendered civil and military forces present, he asked with a smile.
"The last general, Zhang Ren." Zhang Ren stepped forward and bowed.
"Huang Quan." Huang Quan arched his hand to Guan Ping.
"It is often heard that Liu Zhang's account is full of idle people, only Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, Wu Yi, Wu Ban, Huang Quan and others are Bashu Junjie. It's a great pleasure to see you today. ”
Guan Ping laughed, turned over and jumped off the war horse, and stepped forward to talk to Huang Quan and Zhang Ren. Immediately, Guan Ping ordered to enter the city, and he will not leave today, and feast and drink in this city.
Soon after, Guan Ping asked Mi Wei, Zhao Tong, Zhang Bao, Ma Tan and others to incorporate the soldiers and horses left by Zhang Ren, and the military power of the three was expanded to 10,000 people, and Gan Ning was ordered to lead, and the soldiers and horses left by Wei Yan went back to Nanzheng, and Wei Yan was also transferred from Chengdu back to Nanzheng, and restored the establishment of men and horses in Nanzheng on the spot to garrison Hanzhong.
In this way, there are 40,000 people in Hanzhong and Ganning, and 40,000 people in Wudu and Yinping, Xu Shu, Ding Feng, and Wang Ping are generals.
Hanzhong, Yinping, Wudu line of 80,000 or 90,000 people, and guard the dangerous mountain road, can ensure safety.
Because it takes time to recruit people, Guan Ping stayed on the rice cang road for a month. By the way, I tried to appoint Huang Quan, Zhang Ren.
As a result, Huang Quan was successfully hired as a shogunate official, but Zhang Ren insisted on resigning. Guan Ping did not let Zhang Ren go, and insisted on leaving Zhang Ren.
Follow the army in white.
As for the rest of the Bashu generals, they were all given wealth and returned to their hometowns to become rich men. These mediocre talents, don't do it.
A month later, Guan Ping led Li Fei, Zhou Xiong, Zhang Bao, Mi Wei, Zhao Tong, Ma Jian and others south to Langzhong. When Zhang Fei heard the news, he led a hundred light horsemen and gathered with Guan Ping in Langzhong.
The uncle and nephew had a meal, and Zhang Fei led his troops back to Jiangzhou. Guan Ping led the army westward, to Mianzhu, to Luocheng, and finally arrived in Chengdu.
At present, in the city of Chengdu, Wu Yi and Wu Ban brothers are the leaders. After Guan Ping arrived in the north of Chengdu, he ordered Li Fei and Mi Wei to take over the defense of the city, and ordered Zhao Tong and Zhang Baotun to be outside.
Before that, it was all bland. But after arriving in Chengdu, something happened.
Chengdu City.
This is a densely populated and prosperous city. It is the city owned by the Liu family father and son for many years, and the old nest of the operation. On the tower of the city gate of the great shore, the flag with the word "Guan" was hung.
Wu Yi led the civil and military forces in the city, and the civil and military who were willing to come to greet him came out to greet Guan Ping. And Liu Zhang stood next to Wu Yi, took off his official uniform, and only wore a robe.
Guan Ping rode his horse and revealed his identity. And Wu Yi led all the civil and military forces to salute Guan in parallel, including Liu Zhang. Most of them are serious people, but there are also a few lively people who can't help but look up at Guan Ping.
Looking at this Chengdu, the new ruler of Yizhou, the rumored master who is brave and good at fighting and treating people with leniency.
The first impression is that it is young, very young.
Although everyone knows that Guan Ping is very young, but when he really saw it, he was still surprised, and then sighed, he was really a young man.
There is no shortage of young men in this world, there are Ganluo in ancient times, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others in the near future. But the one in front of him is still the best of them.
He led the army when he was more than ten years old, and he was nearly twenty years old, but he had already created a great foundation.
After Liu Zhang's surrender, the civil and military forces were divided into two factions. When they came out to greet them, they were naturally willing to serve the Guan father and son.
"Maybe it's an opportunity for us." Fa Zheng also played soy sauce in the crowd, and said secretly in his heart. We refer to the three alliances between him and Zhang Song and Meng Da.
"Maybe there's something new." Zhang Song said secretly in his heart. He is from a local clan in Yizhou, but he is frivolous, does not get along with the locals, and belongs to the lone faction.
He was neither loyal to Liu Zhang nor loyal to Guan Ping.
But he is very sure of his status. Because no matter who is in charge of Yizhou, officials like him need to be appointed.
Wu Yi and the Wu Ban brothers also have their own thoughts, Wu Yi is a qualified politician, Wu Ban is a little romantic, and he is a hot-blooded general.
But they are all smart people.
Both of them know that with a new owner there will be a new momentum.
Guan's father and son are not like Liu Zhang, they must have to make a career. If their brothers want to maintain their status and power, they need to be able to take effect well.
But don't talk about how these Bashu elites are. Guan Ping turned over and dismounted first, facing Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang's face was a little pale, and he was a little unsteady on his feet.
Obviously very weak-hearted.
This is extremely normal. Since ancient times, the king of the dead country will not have a good time. Now he is just a fish under the knife, and life and death are in Guan Ping's thoughts.
How not to be weak-hearted?
Guan Ping didn't have much feeling for Liu Zhang, this person was mediocre, why kill him?
On the contrary, this person is sitting in Yizhou, but he is also quite popular with the people, and killing him is afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction.
Guan Ping then stepped forward and shook Liu Zhang's hands, and said frankly: "I raised troops for the Han family and made enemies of Cao thieves. Sir, Han clan relatives, I will not harm Mr. Mr. Ke kept the rank of general and went to live in Gangneung. I prepared a mansion, a field, a beautiful maid, and a wealth in Gangneung to entertain my husband. ”
"Thank you, General Ming." Liu Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then took it sincerely.
And the surrounding Bashu civil and military forces were also relieved. Liu Zhang, in the end, is the lord of generosity, and he still has a little status in the hearts of civil and military.
However, it was said that Guan Ping immediately arranged for Liu Zhang, as well as Liu Zhang's family, to move to Jiangling to live. Ordered Zhou Xiong to lead his troops to control the Yizhou Thorn Mansion, and then held a banquet to entertain the Bashu civil and military.
Today is not about business, just a feast. Early the next morning, Guan Ping began to act vigorously.
Guan Ping took the Yizhou pastor and dismissed Zhang Song.
Guan Ping was quite unkind to Zhang Song, Liu Zhang treated Zhang Song well, but Zhang Song welcomed Liu Bei into Shu, and then said that Fa Zheng and Meng Da were moved.
As for Fa Zheng, his character is not very good, but his talent is outstanding. Compared with Fa Zheng, Zhang Song really can't do anything, and he is the first seller.
So Zhang Song fell off the horse, bye-bye.
Guan Ping took Huang Quan as the driver of Yizhou, and took Iraq as the ruler to lead the government affairs of Yizhou.
With the world's famous people, but there is a famous man Xu Jing as the main book of General Yang Wu, with Fa Zheng as the army, and the personnel adjustment of General Yang Wu's shogunate.
With Wu Yi and Wu Ban as generals, each led more than 5,000 people, and the troops were stationed outside Chengdu.
settled down the Bashu civil and military forces and began to rule Yizhou. In this way, the two systems of the Guan family are Guan Yu's command of Jingzhou and Huzhou.
Guan Ping commanded Yizhou, Liangzhou.
However, at present, there is only one Wudu County in Liangzhou, and it is necessary to be enterprising.
On this day, in the study of the state minister's house. Guan Ping had a discussion with the newly appointed Yizhou Don't Drive Huang Quan. Beijia is a senior official in the state, and his status is second only to Bomu.
Although Guan Ping is in charge of the state pastor, he is still lazy, so at present, the affairs of the state are all under the control of Huang Quan.
Guan Ping also heard some gossip because of this.
This time, Huang Quan was summoned for this matter.
The two sides sat down, Guan Ping smiled and glanced at Huang Quan, this person is young, but he is a Junjie in Shuzhong. is ten times stronger than Zhang Song and others.
"I heard that there have been many voices of dissatisfaction in the state recently, because I dismissed Zhang Song and others, and appointed Gongheng as a different driver. It is said that you are young and unqualified, and you are not able to take on great responsibilities. So I asked you to come, and I also wanted to comfort you. But I don't want to be balanced, but I am calm, but I am too worried. ”
Guan Ping sat cross-legged in a rather casual posture.
"As long as you do this well, the gossip will be gone." Huang Quan said calmly.
"Okay." Guan Ping showed a look of appreciation, he just admired a refreshing man like Huang Quan. Yes, as long as Yizhou is governed well, the gossip will be self-defeating.
And he believes that Huang Quan can do a good job.
"This time I came here to find Gongheng, in order to do a good job in Yizhou." Guan Ping then said slowly: "But it is the leniency of the law in the Han Dynasty (Eastern Han Dynasty) that has caused the scholars of the Gong clan (the three princes) to commit many lawlessness, and they use eunuchs to be on the same page as the scholars. So the world was boiling, and yellow turbans were rampant. The world fell apart, so it decayed. And now Liu Zhang's father and son govern Yizhou, and they are still lenient, resulting in great power. He didn't follow the law, and the general thought that Liu Zhang was weak, so he was mostly cowardly and avoided the war. The people of Yizhou are perverse, believe in obscenity (ghosts and gods not recognized by the imperial court), marry men and women, and funerals are very extravagant, and even bankrupt the family. Gongheng, although I am the pastor of Yizhou, I don't care about the affairs of the state. But you need to clean up this evil trend for me. ”
"No." Huang Quan made a promise, he is really a brave and capable man.
Then Guan Ping and Huang Quan talked for a long time, and then sent Huang Quan down. Yizhou needs to be governed. Huang Quan is an excellent talent, and Guan Ping just mentioned Huang Quan.
The idea came from Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang governs Shu, the law is strict, and people are self-motivated. Teacher Yi said that among the Three Kingdoms, Shu Han is the country that is most like a country. Guan Ping agrees with this.
Under Liu Zhang's account, Wu Yi and others will avoid the war and not fight, not afraid of defeat, that is because Liu Zhang has no majesty, if Liu Zhang uses the law strictly, he will kill people in anger.
Wu Yi dared to avoid the war?
In history, under the control of Zhuge Liang, Wu Yi is also a good general. This is also in response to that sentence, Maxima often has, but Bole does not often have.
So that Shu Han can compete with Cao Wei, Zhuge Liang also.
Let Wu Yi turn bad into good, brave and good at fighting, and Zhuge Liang is also Zhuge Liang. can do the best of the Shu Han elite soldiers, and the people in the country are not worried, Zhuge Liang is also.
Zhuge Xiangguo, famous through the ages.
Guan Ping is a fan of Zhuge Liang.
Now follow the cat and the tiger, and let Huang Quan govern Yizhou with strict laws. When the time is ripe in the future, Zhuge Liang will be used as prime minister.
That's right.
Guan Ping is already thinking about the establishment of the country. As the so-called beneficial state, Jingzhou can be in a corner of peace, and it can annex the world. Now that Yizhou and Jingzhou are in my hands, as long as I don't die, I won't die.
After Huang Quan left, Guan Ping summoned Yan Yan and Zhang Ren.
There are few generals in Bashu, and these two are the best. He is a man who is brave and brave and can be loyal to his position. It's a pity that the two are loyal to Liu Zhang, although they were forced to surrender by Liu Zhang, and had to hand over the soldiers and horses, but they chose to disarm and return to the field.
Guan Ping didn't allow it, and brought the two back to Chengdu. Now, Guan Ping plans to convince the two to become generals. However, Guan Ping did not plan to let the two lead the troops in Yizhou.
Soon after, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan arrived at the study, called themselves villains (humble words), and met Guan Ping. Guan Ping raised his hand and said "no courtesy" and asked the two to sit down.
Then Guan Ping said bluntly: "I know that the two are the dead ministers of the Liu family, and they are not happy to serve my father and son." But the two are also from Yizhou. And the Nanban of Yizhou has repeatedly raised troops and rebelled and brutalized the people. Now although I have pacified Bashu, the four counties in Nanzhong are obedient on the surface, but secretly they are trying their best to contact the barbarians and raise troops to make trouble. I'm afraid there will be no way to raise troops to fight this year. But next year I will send a large army to attack Nanzhong. The two are from Yizhou, shouldn't they contribute to Yizhou and crusade against the barbarians? ”
Zhang Ren, Yan Yan's face was shocked, he glanced at each other, and bowed to the ground. Zhang Ren said: "What the general said is very true. We, the people of Yizhou, should defend Yizhou. I am willing to be driven by the general to attack Nanzhong. ”
Guan Ping smiled, and immediately appointed Zhang Ren and Yan Yan as captains, each leading five or six thousand troops. Next year, we will send troops to Nanzhong to pacify Nanzhong.
