Chapter 56 Expedition to Hanzhong
After receiving the "permission" of the imperial court, Qin Hua began to prepare to attack Hanzhong County.
Zhang Liao, who had conquered and annexed the state, was transferred back, and Han was left to serve as the county guard of Shangjun, and he was responsible for the annexation of the state.
Qin Hua didn't have that much energy to deal with the matter of merging the state now, so he gave Han Sui only one order, and that was to seek stability.
He only needs to stop the chaos in the state before Qin Hua has his energy freed, and protect the territory he has already obtained.
For Qin Hua's order, Zhang Liao naturally obeyed his orders, he was pulled up by Qin Hua, so he was very loyal.
As for Han Sui, he was very surprised, he thought that Qin Hua would continue to use him as his deputy and would not give him real power, but he didn't expect that he would be relieved to hand over the entire merger to him.
In fact, Qin Hua has always been wary of Han Sui, after all, Han Sui was his enemy at the beginning, and Qin Hua has not trusted a general so generously.
It's just that there are really not many talents in Qin Hua's hands now, but Han Sui is one of the few people who can garrison one side, plus Ma Teng keeps saying good things for his friend, and Han Sui is also very attentive to assisting Zhang Liao in several previous wars (at least Zhang Liao thinks so).
Therefore, Qin Hua decided to let Han Sui serve as the head of Bingzhou this time, the main reason is that Bingzhou is a newly acquired land, and Qin Hua doesn't care about losing him again.
Let Han Sui take charge of the merger, but he just wanted to isolate it from the war in the east first, and the merger was equivalent to a barrier between Liangzhou and the east.
As for why Zhang Liao was transferred back, Qin Hua was of course ready to make him the commander of the attack on Hanzhong.
has been running around all these years, and Qin Hua has no time to stay in Liangzhou.
Although Zhang Lu in Hanzhong is also a difficult opponent, there are not many troops in Hanzhong, only about twenty or thirty thousand, but the terrain of Hanzhong County is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Qin Hua is ready to let Zhang Liao slowly attack Hanzhong.
Because even if he can take Hanzhong right now, he can't immediately send troops to Yizhou to attack Liu Yan.
Qin Hua didn't value Liu Yan at first, because as far as he knew about the knowledge of the Three Kingdoms, Yizhou had no sense of existence before Liu Bei became the master.
But in Nighthawk's report, Qin Hua found that this person was also a masterpiece.
At first, Qin Hua thought that Zhang Lu betrayed Liu Yan and occupied Hanzhong, and Liu Yan had not been able to defeat Zhang Lu, but after reading the report, Qin Hua found that he had made a mistake.
Regardless of whether Zhang Lu was still under Liu Yan's control, Zhang Lu's occupation of Hanzhong was acquiesced by Liu Yan.
The report said that Liu Yan was also an official in Luoyang at first, and also held Jiuqing-level official positions such as Zongzheng and Taichang, but he had a premonition that the world was about to be in chaos, so he wanted to find a place for himself.
Like Jia Xu's advice to himself, and Zhuge Liang Longzhong's advice to Liu Bei, Liu Yan also fancied the land of Yizhou.
At that time, the name of the Yizhou Assassin was Xi Jian, who was wantonly collecting wealth in Yizhou, and Yizhou officials were greedy, so Liu Yan invited himself to be the Yizhou Assassin and prepared to rectify Yizhou instead of the imperial court.
However, before Liu Yan arrived, Xi Jian was killed by Ma Xiang, the leader of the Yellow Turbans, and Ma Xiang was killed by Jia Long in Yizhou.
Jia Long welcomed Liu Yan into Yizhou, designated Jinzhu as the seat of governance (regarded as the capital of Yizhou), and at the same time began to vigorously rectify the governance of Yizhou officials and win people's hearts.
At that time, Zhang Lu's mother was proficient in the art of ghosts and gods, and she was beautiful and moving, so she often went in and out of Liu Yan's mansion, and therefore sought an official position for Zhang Lu.
Liu Yan sent Zhang Lu to capture Hanzhong with Sima Zhang Xiu, but soon Zhang Lu broke away from Liu Yan's control, killed Zhang Xiu, and occupied Hanzhong himself.
On the surface, Liu Yan and Zhang Lu broke up, but because Zhang Lu occupied Hanzhong and intercepted and killed the envoys of the imperial court, Yizhou lost contact with the imperial court.
At this time, Liu Yan began to vigorously suppress the local tyrants, and took a step closer to firmly controlling Yizhou in his own hands. Liu Yan also suggested to the imperial court to reinstate the previous state pastoral system, and the state pastor is a person who can control the local military and political power with one hand, and the Han clan relatives and important ministers serve as the state pastor, in order to stabilize the world, in fact, it is to facilitate his own better control of Yizhou.
From this point of view, Qin Hua may still have to thank him, if it weren't for his proposal to restore the state pastoral system, Qin Hua might not be able to reach his current power, after all, the majesty of the imperial court was still there, and Qin Hua could not blatantly expand his strength.
After reading the report, Qin Hua couldn't help but sigh, this Liu Yan is indeed a masterpiece.
Although he felt that Liu Yan did not have any sense of existence when he watched the Three Kingdoms before, but now he thinks that this Liu Yan may not be under Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei, at least much stronger than Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and this foresight is already very rare.
If Liu Yan had been alive, it was estimated that Liu Bei would not have been able to enter Yizhou, and the last three major forces might be Cao Cao, Sun Quan and Liu Yan.
However, Qin Hua is not particularly worried, Liu Yan is more than successful, but he is not enterprising enough, and there is a big man under Qin Hua, who is now only 20 years old.
Qin Hua had already asked about Xun Yu and Guo Jia when Xun You joined, but unfortunately none of the two were willing to join.
One is known as "Wang Zuozhicai", and the other is known as "Ghost Cai", both of whom are talents that Qin Hua wants to recruit.
However, Xun Yu sensed that the world was about to be in turmoil, and it was very inappropriate to keep Yingchuan, so he led his family to move to Jizhou.
When Xun You sent Qin Hua's handwritten letter to Yingchuan, he had disappeared.
Guo Jia was reluctant to go out because he was still young at the time.
If it weren't for Dong Zhuobing's disaster this time, Qin Hua might really miss this talent.
Because of Xun You's letters, Guo Jia came to Liangzhou smoothly, because he also wanted to see how the Ming lord Xun You said governed Liangzhou.
After visiting many places in Liangzhou, Guo Jia found that Liangzhou, a remote place, was really governed by Qin Hua as if it were a prosperous era, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and even the Qiang people, who had always been fierce, could chat and laugh with the Han people.
Therefore, Guo Jia also moved the idea of joining Liangzhou.
However, when Guo Jia entered Wuwei County, he didn't want to be a member of the ranks.
This is because Xun You took him to visit the Liangzhou Academy that Qin Hua was preparing to build.
Liangzhou school is an important part of Qin Hua's advocacy of education, on the basis of the local public schools, Qin Hua is ready to establish a comprehensive school in Wuwei County, which can be regarded as a promoted version of the local public schools.
Liangzhou University is a comprehensive institution, in addition to offering courses in Confucianism, Taoism, law, military and many other schools, there are also courses to teach agricultural knowledge, as well as medicine, mathematics, civil engineering and other disciplines.
Qin Hua hopes that Liangzhou University will be able to send various types of talents to Liangzhou in three to five years.
As for why Guo Jia saw that Liangzhou School was ready to give up again, it was not that he wanted to come here to study, but because he saw the library that had been built in Liangzhou School.
Guo Jiaben is a son of a poor family, and there are not many books in his family, so he can only read by borrowing books from the Xun family.
The library of Liangzhou University was established under the supervision of Qin Hua himself, not to mention the collection of all the books in the world, but in terms of the amount of books, it is definitely something that Guo Jia can't imagine.
So much so that now Guo Jia is indulging in the library almost every day, and even Qin Hua wants to give him an official post.
Qin Hua was angry and funny about this, and in the end, he could only send the soldiers of the trapping camp to directly frame Guo Jia to the state pastor's mansion.
