Chapter 301: Entering Chengdu

Chapter 301

Except for Zhuge Liang and others, the generals of Jingzhou, together with Huang Zhong and Yu Ban, did not know what medicine Liu Cong was selling in the gourd. Fa Zheng is also confused. In one fell swoop, in this case, if he had been in the military camp or Jingzhou, Zhang Ren would have been expelled long ago. From Liu Cong's expression, it can be seen that he is confident, and it also shows Liu Cong's preference for Zhang Ren.

And the civil and military officials in Yizhou were so rude to Zhang Ren that they rushed into Liu Cong and worried about Zhang Ren. There are also some civil officials who want Liu Cong to send Zhang Ren to prison. When Zhang Ren reprimanded Liu Cong for his brutal treatment of the people of Chengdu, most of the Yizhou generals still supported Zhang Ren in their hearts, although Liu Cong was the new master of Yizhou.

Zhang Ren took the letter from Liao Hua's hand disapprovingly, and then opened the letter paper in front of his chest with both hands, wanting to see clearly what Liu Cong denied.

But soon his face tensed, and he picked up the next page...... Gradually, Zhang Ren's face began to turn red. The whole lobby immediately fell silent, and if an embroidery needle accidentally fell to the ground, it was estimated that the guards outside the door could hear it.

After a while, Zhang Ren knelt on one knee, clasped his hands into fists and said to Liu Cong with guilt on his face: "Zhang Ren is ignorant and unreasonable!" Forgive me my sins! "Whoa...... The originally silent lobby suddenly exploded. Many people wonder why Zhang Ren, who was angry a moment ago, became so deferential after reading those few pieces of paper, what was written on that paper?

Everyone is curious! What was written on the paper, but Zhang Ren did not pass the paper down, but returned it directly to Liao Hua, and then stood in front of Liu Cong with a red face, waiting for it to fall like a child who had made a mistake.

"General Zhang, please be seated! Today, hundreds of state officials are gathered, and there are still many things to be discussed. ”

"No!" Zhang Ren was relieved and walked over to see an empty seat.

These two people are so mysterious, and those gossiping civil officials are even more curious about what Liu Cong showed Zhang Ren.

Liu Cong saw that Zhang Ren was no longer making trouble, so he smiled at the civil and military officials, and then arranged government affairs: "Today, General Zhang asks for the life of the people of Chengdu, and Cong will give everyone a reasonable explanation in the future." However, at present, the war is tense, and there are many remnants of soldiers fleeing inside and outside the city, so the summer harvest on duty must restore law and order in Chengdu and Shu County as soon as possible, and at the same time send troops to support the northern front......

In order to better govern Yizhou, the general will immediately report to the imperial court to arrange the appointment of officials and generals in various counties and counties in Yizhou. Regardless of your promotion, please work together to assist Ben Jiang in governing Yizhou. Liu Cong said that the court was actually just a ceremony, and the officials present knew that this was a war era, who had soldiers in their hands, who occupied the territory, and who had the final say.

So everyone said in unison: "We will obey the order of General Zhengnan!" ”

"Well, Zhuge Liang!"

"Your Majesty is here!"

"Today, I will make you the Sima of Yizhou, and let Shu County be too guarded."

"Thank you, lord!" Zhuge Liang governed Shu County and served as the Sima of Yizhou in everyone's expectations, Liu Cong was also anxious to go to the front line of Baishui Pass, so the government affairs were handed over to Zhuge Liang, and when Liu Cong was in Jingzhou in the future, this Zhuge Liang was very likely to be the history of Yizhou, so everyone also respected Zhuge Liang very much.

"The law is obeying orders!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"This general will promote you to the military division and military division general of the Southern General's Mansion!"

"Thank you for your trust, and you will definitely go to the soup to assist the lord in achieving great things!"

Fa Zheng was happy, and a group of old civil officials in Yizhou were also envious, jealous and hateful, but unfortunately they were slow to move, and they couldn't be so discerning, Liu Zhang asked him to go to Jingzhou to pick up Liu Cong into Shu, and Fa Zheng obeyed Zhang Song's persuasion and surrendered to Liu Cong without hesitation.

Follow Liu Cong all the way to capture Zhang Lu's Shangyong, and then provide support for Liu Cong in Jiameng, and attack Yucheng and Chengdu are even more intriguing. Liu Cong This is to appease Yizhou officials and set a benchmark. At the same time, it is also for the greatest Chengdu to give full play to the talent of Fazheng. Since Zhuge Liang has been entrusted with the important task by himself, it is not an easy thing to govern Yizhou, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to have time to conquer with the army in the future.

Therefore, the military division of the Great General's Mansion fell on the head of Fa Zheng.

Next, Liu Cong did not disappoint most of the officials in Yizhou, and most of them civilian officials retained their original positions. Liu Cong also did this to stabilize the situation as soon as possible.

Liu Zhang surrendered and surrendered, and Liu Cong had no reason to blame the civil officials who stayed in Chengdu. What's more, only a handful of people dominate the war in this troubled era. Of course, those generals who participated in the war were not as fortunate as those civilian officials. Huang Quan, Wu Yi, Wu Ban and others were all directly imprisoned. Officers above the rank of military marquis are basically swept to the end. If Liu Cong wants to control the Yizhou soldiers who return to Shun as soon as possible, he must master the middle and lower-level officers as soon as possible.

When almost most people had a division of labor, but Zhang Ren was fine, and some people who reacted quickly quickly noticed this.

But soon Liu Cong's gaze returned to Zhang Ren's body. He saw that Zhang Ren's mood had calmed down, so he said to Zhang Ren: "Zhang Ren, listen to the order!" ”

"The last general!"

"This general will list you as the general of Pingxi, leading 30,000 troops to guard Shu County and Nanzhong County!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

Wow! There was another commotion in the hall, and this time everyone finally understood that Liu Cong didn't mean to blame Zhang Ren at all, and continued to trust him. Shu County includes Chengdu, Pi County, Jiangyuan County, Fan County, Guangdu County, Linqiong County, Maoshi Road, Wenjiang Road, Silkworm County, Guangrou County, and Mianyu Road as the core of Yizhou, while the Nanzhong region includes Qiqi County, Jianwei County, Yuewei County, Yizhou County, Yongchang County, and Jianwei and Shu County subjects.

Coupled with the newly established Jianning County and Yunnan County just established by Liu Cong, Zhang Ren, the general of Pingxi, guards most of Yizhou! Trusted by Liu Cong, he has the potential to surpass Fa Zheng and others. However, everyone soon understood that this Yizhou was originally guarded by Yan Yan and Zhang Ren, two tiger generals. Now that Yan Yan is old and still on the battlefield on the northern front, the task of guarding Shu County and Nanzhong naturally fell to Zhang Ren.

Zhang Ren was more ashamed of Liu Cong's recklessness in not pursuing today's recklessness, and when he read those letters, he immediately understood how much pressure Liu Cong was under, and now accepting Liu Cong's appointment, he is naturally determined to do his best to live up to the love of his lord. This is also Liu Cong's thoughtfulness, Zhang Ren is the most suitable candidate, and tens of thousands of surrenders to Zhang Ren to command save a lot of trouble.

In this way, Zhang Ren and Fa Zheng have become the civil and military leaders among the old generals in Yizhou, and with Zhuge Liang's governance, Liu Cong of Yizhou must strive to be in his own hands as soon as possible. Later, Liu Cong also made adjustments to the candidates for the Taishou of each county, no matter how these Yizhou civil officials surrendered on the surface, Liu Cong did not agree with their internal affairs ability, and wanted everyone to be able to compete with the Yizhou system in the land of Yizhou.

So Jiang Wan was transferred to Guanghan Taishou, and Li Yan replaced Yan Yan as Bajun Taishou. Ba County is located in the middle of Yizhou, which is the key point connecting the north and south of Yizhou with Nanzhong and Jingzhou. Moreover, the south of Bajun is Nanzhong in the traditional sense, and there are more barbarians, so Liu Cong also hopes to use Li Yan's military advisors to deter ethnic minorities.

Dong He, who had a bad start in Brazil County, was transferred to the newly built Yunnan County Taishou. Of course, Liu Cong knew that Dong He was a good official, and such a good official should go to remote and difficult places to win the hearts of the people for himself. Li Hui, who was also quite talented, was transferred back from the front line and appointed Jianning Taishou. This was a commendation for Li Hui, and it was also to strengthen Wei Yan's command of the front-line combat units.

Yan Yan added a Li Hui, and Wei Yan inevitably had scruples. And Li Hui is a native of Jianning, according to history, Li Hui was a postal supervisor in the county in his early years, and his brother-in-law was Jianling's county order, and Li Hui was dismissed from office if he had illegal behavior. Because Ji Xi is a powerful family in this area, Taishou Dong He suppressed the matter and did not remove Li Hui from office.

Liu Bei died of illness, and Gao Ding, Yonghong, and Zhu Bao rebelled in Yueshan, Jianning, and Qiqi respectively. In 225, Zhuge Liang marched south, first reaching Yueshan, while Li Hui marched into Jianning. The rebels from all counties gathered and surrounded Li Hui's forces in Kunming. At that time, Li Hui's troops were only half of the enemy's, and there was no news of Zhuge Liang's army, so Li Hui sent a message to the rebels: "The official army has run out of food and plans to retreat." Some of us have been home for a long time, and now we have the opportunity to come back, and we don't want to go back to the north, and we want to plan great things with you, so I am honest. ”

The rebels believed him and relaxed the encirclement. Li Hui led the army to attack, broke the enemy in one fell swoop, chased the remnants of the enemy, south to Panjiang, east to Qiqi, and connected with Zhuge Liang's army. After the pacification of the south, Li Hui had the most military merits, and was named the Marquis of Hanxing Pavilion and the general of Anhan. Later, the army was withdrawn, and the ethnic minorities in the south rebelled and killed the defenders.

Li Hui personally led his troops to crusade, eradicated the would-be rebels, and moved the leaders of their tribes to Chengdu, and levied cattle, war horses, gold and silver, and rhino leather from the Su, Pu and other tribes to supplement military funds, so there was no shortage of military expenses at that time. Nanzhong is a place that may not necessarily be in turmoil if it is well governed, but the candidate for the Taishou is very important, Li Hui has military experience and he comes from the bottom of the people, which will help the local governance, so Liu Cong handed over this important task to him.

Just when many civil officials were very gossipy and wanted to see what was written on those papers, the violent Zhang Ren instantly quieted down. Liu Cong did not hesitate to give the order to expel the guests, and only left the backbone he brought from Jingzhou, Zhang Ren and Fa Zheng.

As soon as there were few people, and all of them were people trusted by Liu Cong, Zhang Ren became nervous.

Without waiting for everyone to ask, or waiting for Liu Cong to speak, Zhang Ren got up and hugged his fists again: "Lord, Ren arbitrarily asked the lord to punish him before!" Zhang Ren also has a clear love and hate, although Liu Cong has entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, it is Liu Cong's trust. But thinking of his previous rudeness, Zhang Ren still felt ashamed.
