At the time of the world, the northwest has always been a heart disease of the Qing Dynasty emperor.

Adou thought about it, during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition in history, Cao Zhen once ordered the Qiang King Cheriji to lead the troops to help, so Cheriji led 150,000 Qiang soldiers to support the Wei army. But in the end, he was defeated by Zhuge Liang. Now the national strength of Shu is stronger than that of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition in history, so there should be no problem in defeating Cherrigi.

However, at that time, Zhuge Liang also wasted a lot of time because of the potential of this group of Qiang soldiers, and Guo Huai also used this period of time to organize a defensive line, and finally Ma Yu lost the strategic place of Jieting, and Zhuge Liang had to retreat to Sichuan.

Xiqiang's big trouble that is dragging its feet must be solved. At this time, Adou's mind began to recall the methods used by later kings to deal with the issue of ethnic minorities.

The Qing Dynasty itself was a minority, so there is no need to consider this; The Ming Dynasty was beaten by Wara and could not raise its head, and was later destroyed by the Jurchens; Not to mention the Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty fought with the Liao State for so many years, and the sixteen states of Yanyun were still in the hands of others, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, they could only shrink in the south of the Yangtze River; At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin became a "Heavenly Khan", but later Hu'er An Lushan rebelled, and the Tang Dynasty went into decline from then on. The Northern Dynasty of the Northern and Southern Dynasties was the court established by the Xianbei people, and then the Eastern Jin Dynasty was almost destroyed by the former Qin Fujian of the clan. It seems that for more than 1,000 years in China, the Han emperor really didn't have any good way to deal with ethnic minorities.

A good way that the emperors of all dynasties couldn't think of, Adou, a person from a chivalrous background, where could he think of it. Adou coughed dryly and said, "Father, the trouble of Xiqiang cannot be solved overnight. However, the matter of cutting down Wei is imperative, and now that Cao has been on the throne for less than a year, the courtiers have not yet returned to their hearts, which is a great opportunity to cut Wei! Moreover, I always feel that there must be a hidden secret in Cao Cao's death, and we can use this to make a big fuss and separate Cao and his courtiers! ”

Liu Bei nodded, and after a long time, he spoke: "Let me think about this matter again......"

……

Not long after Adou left, Chen Zhi walked in with Jian Yong.

Jian Yong is Liu Bei's old courtier, and when Liu Bei was still in the county, Jian Yong became friendly with Liu Bei. Speaking of qualifications, Liu Bei's subordinates, in addition to Guan and Zhang, are Jian Yong.

After the courtesy. Liu Bei waved his hand. He said, "Xianhe." Have a seat! ”

Jian Yong sat down very casually. He doesn't sit upright like ordinary courtiers. And Liu Bei seems to be accustomed to it. And there is no blame.

Jian Yong is a profligate skeleton. Crazy and crazy is not serious. They often act spontaneously. I don't care much about the so-called rules and regulations. I don't pay attention to my personal image. But just want to live a leisurely life. Liu Bei and Jian Yong have an old relationship. Very knowledgeable about character. felt that Jian Yong was so harmless. So don't blame. But Zhuge Liang is different. Zhuge Liang is strict. So Zhuge Liang didn't like Jian Yong very much. That's exactly what happened. Jian Yong did not serve in General Zuo's Mansion.

Jian Yong's talent is very good. In the past, he often went among the princes. Jian Yong followed Liu Bei for nearly forty years. Even when Liu Bei fell to the ground the most. Jian Yong has also been by Liu Bei's side and never abandoned. So Liu Bei trusted Jian Yong very much. Liu Bei also knew that Zhuge Liang didn't like Jian Yong. So he arranged another errand for Jian Yong.

Liu Bei sent many spies to Eastern Wu and Cao Wei. Some of them have infiltrated the middle and upper echelons of Cao Wei and Eastern Wu. And Jian Yong is now responsible for liaising with these spies. So Jian Yong knows a lot of things that even Zhuge Liang doesn't know.

"Xianhe. Is there any news from Xudu? ”

"My lord, I just received a letter from Mr. Qiu from Xu Du today, Xu Chu's son Xu Yi is dead!" Jian Yong said.

"How did you die?"

"It is said that this Xu Yi accidentally fell off his horse while hunting, fell on his head, and was not saved after returning to Xu Du!"

"Falling off a horse?" Liu Bei asked incredulously. Xu Yi is Xu Chu's son, needless to say, he is skilled in bow horses, how could he fall off the horse!

"Mr. Qiu inquired, it was the horse that was suddenly frightened and flipped Xu Yi off the horse."

"Well, what else does Mr. Qiu say?" Liu Bei asked.

Mr. Qiu also said in the letter that Xu Yi died strangely, and the war horse that Xu Yi rode that day was an old horse that had been on the battlefield for a long time, and after Xu Yi fell off the horse, the guards immediately sent Xu Yi to Xu Du, but the guard of Xu Du's city gate hesitated for an hour before opening the city gate, so the time for treatment was delayed. Mr. Qiu suspected that Xu Yi was killed. Jian Yong replied.

"Extinguish?" Liu Bei was stunned.

"Your Majesty remembers that Mr. Qiu once sent news a few years ago that Xu Chu was not burned to death, but was killed. Then Xu Yi asked Cao to investigate thoroughly, but it happened that Karasuma invaded at this time, and the thorough investigation of the cause of Xu Chu's death was delayed. Now that Karasuma has been flattened, Xu Yi has written to Cao and once again asked for a thorough investigation of the cause of Xu Chu's death. ”

"It seems that someone doesn't want the truth of Xu Chudi's death to be revealed!" Liu Bei opened his mouth and sighed.

Xu Chu was killed, Xu Yi is naturally the bitter master, if the bitter master dies, then Xu Chu's death does not need to be investigated.

At this time, Liu Bei couldn't help but think of Adou's words just now, Cao Cao's cause of death was too strange, maybe there was really a hidden secret, even if there was no hidden secret, he could use this matter to make a big fuss.

……

Xu Du.

Hua Tuo knelt in the hall, and Cao looked at Hua Tuo with satisfaction.

"Huashen Doctor's medical skills are really worthy of his reputation, not only can he heal people, but he can also cure that beast! It seems that the next thing will depend on the help of Dr. Huashen! Cao Le said hehehe.

A month ago, Xu Yi wrote to Cao, asking for an interrogation of the witnesses of the fire in Caofu that day, and a thorough investigation into the cause of Xu Chudi's death.

Cao was a thief and naturally didn't want the truth of this matter to be revealed, so Cao decided to kill Xu Yi.

Cao Ben wanted to pick Xu Yi out of date and kill Xu Yi. However, although Xu Yi attacked Xu Chu's title, when it comes to official positions, it is not big. If this official is small, the power will be small, and the power will be small, and the responsibility will be small, and if the responsibility is small, it will not be easy to make mistakes. And even if this petty official makes a mistake, it is also a mistake that does not lead to death. So if you want to find fault with Xu Yi and kill Xu Yi, this plan can't be done.

If you can't do it, you can only come to the private one. Cao also thought about sending someone to assassinate Xu Yi. However, the assassins that Cao could use were all trained by Xu Chu back then, and they were Xu Chu's old subordinates, and it was obviously unwise to send them to assassinate Xu Yi. And Xu Yi's own martial arts are not weak, although they are not as good as Xu Chu, but they are also brave and good at fighting, and the probability of succeeding in assassinating Xu Yi is also very low.

In the end, Cao decided to let Xu Yi "die unexpectedly".

Cao found Hua Tuo

Tuo makes a medicine, the horse will go crazy after eating it, and it is also a temptation to do things for himself.

Hua Tuo really prepared a poison and gave it to the horses, and after a few hours, they would fall into a state of excitement, and when the effect of the medicine was at its extreme, the horses would be like crazy.

According to Cao's plan, the horse is crazy, and only Xu Yi needs to fall and injure himself. At that time, Cao Hui sent the imperial doctor to treat Xu Yi, and then moved some hands and feet in the medicine, so that Xu Yi would die without knowing it. However, Xu Yi's luck was so bad that he broke his head when he fell from his horse. The officials guarding the city gate had already been taken care of by Cao, and deliberately found an excuse to delay opening the city gate, which caused Xu Yi's injuries to worsen, and when he entered the city, he was hopeless.

solved Xu Yi, and Cao also solved a matter on his mind. At least no one will chase him to find out the cause of Xu Chu's death in the future.

At this time, Cao Cao had been dead for more than a year, and in more than a year, the division of new forces within Cao Wei had basically ended, and some officials who had good relations with Cao had been promoted, and some people were disliked by Cao and were demoted. The local governors of the states and some of the county guards have also changed.

At this time, Shangshu Chen Qun went to the table and suggested that Cao Cao's official system should be the nine-product Zhongzheng system.

In the first year of Yankang, Chen Qun once suggested to Cao that he should reform the rule of officials. At that time, Cao was very interested in the Jiupin Zhongzheng system proposed by Chen Qun, and ordered Chen Qun to write a charter in detail.

Of course, the nine-product zhongzheng system proposed by Chen Qun today is only the original nine-product zhongzheng system, and it cannot be compared with the nine-product zhongzheng system that has been developed and perfected in later generations. The nine-grade Zhongzheng system proposed by Chen Qun is subdivided into nine products, and the rough division is divided into upper and lower grades. The upper grade is the first three grades of officials, and the last six grades are the lower grades. Although the Jiupin Zhongzheng system was very advanced in the Three Kingdoms era, because the system of selecting talents was not yet a imperial examination system, the selection of talents still relied on recommendation, and those who had bad family affairs could not have the opportunity to be recommended at all. Therefore, a situation of "no cold people in the upper grades, and no common people in the lower grades" has gradually formed.

The news of Cao's implementation of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system soon spread to Shuzhong, and Liu Bei immediately convened the ministers to discuss.

In the Three Kingdoms era, the Jiupin Zhongzheng system was much more advanced than the previous official system. Although Cao has just been implemented and has not yet been tested in practice, many officials have already realized the superiority of the nine-product Zhongzheng system.

There are not a few officials in Shu who are proficient in political affairs. For example, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Zhang Song, Xu Jing, Dong Zhao, etc., the ministers discussed together for a long time, but they did not discuss the reason, after all, the nine-product Zhongzheng system has just been implemented, and it is impossible for Shu to have a specific implementation of the charter. Even Zhuge Liang can't judge the practicability of the positive system in these nine products.

If the nine-product system is easy to use, Liu Bei will definitely follow suit, but this has not been tested, and it is difficult for everyone to judge, so Liu Bei can't decide whether to implement the new official system like Cao.

However, for Adou, the nine-grade Zhongzheng system proposed by Chen Qun is very unfamiliar. Although the officials of the Qing Dynasty were also divided into nine grades, in fact, it was the Military Aircraft Department that was in charge of national affairs, and the Sixth Department was an auxiliary existence. There is not much in common with the nine-product Zhongzheng system proposed by Chen Qun today.

It was precisely because Adou didn't know about Chen Qun's primary nine-grade zhongzheng system, so Adou couldn't make a conclusion, but he just watched the ministers discuss for a day with a cold eye, but the results were not discussed.

"Gonghei, what do you think of this nine-rank Zhongzheng system?" Liu Bei asked.

Adou thought for a while and replied: "Father, this official reform cannot be achieved overnight, and sometimes it takes more than ten years or even decades to see results, so the sons dare not make a conclusion. However, Cao's unauthorized reform of the official system will inevitably cause turmoil in the court, and his father can take this opportunity to attack Wei. ”

Liu Bei nodded after hearing this, but there were no words, Liu Bei was still hesitating about whether to attack Wei. According to Zhuge Liang's Longzhong pair, he wanted to take Jingxiang and Bashu, and then use Bashu as the rear and use Jingxiang as a fulcrum to attack around. For so many years, Liu Bei has been following this strategic policy. If Yongzhou is attacked, Liu Bei's overall strategy will be changed.

A few days ago, Adou proposed to attack Wei, Liu Bei was already moved, the most important thing was that in the deduction of attacking Jingzhou, Liu Bei's entire army was annihilated. Now that Adou has taken this opportunity to bring up the matter of Vawei, Liu Bei feels that he should simply bring this matter out again to discuss it.

Liu Bei brought up the matter of cutting Wei or Wu again, this time it was about the same as the last time, Zhang Song and other officials from Shu led to attack Wei and attack Yongzhou; The officials of Guan Yuwei's Jingzhou family felt that they should attack Sun Quan first and recapture Jingzhou.

Everyone discussed for a long time, but the result was that the public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable, and did not discuss the reason.

At this time, Adou has appeared, and now he is attacking Jingzhou with Guan Yu as the main force, unlike others, this Guan Yu's prestige is there. Therefore, Guan Yu's opinion, Liu Bei must listen. And now Guan Yu is a general, and Guan Yu occupies a dominant position in this soldier's affairs.

If you want to attack Wei smoothly, the first thing you have to say is Guan Yu. Adou believed that as long as Guan Yu was willing to let go and no longer insisted on cutting Wu, then the attack on Yongzhou would be a matter of course.

……

In the house, Adou was pondering how to persuade Guan Yu to agree to attack Yongzhou.

Unlike Liu Bei, Guan Yu is not so easy to fool. Guan Yu is notoriously self-serving, always thinks that he is the best in the world, and never likes to listen to other people's opinions. At the beginning, Guan Yu was defeated in Jingzhou and was trapped in Maicheng, and Adou rescued him for thousands of miles, at that time, Guan Yu had lost his square inch because of the defeat, so everything was obeyed by Adou. But this country is easy to change its nature and is difficult to change, since the escape, Guan Yu has slowly calmed down, and has returned to the empty Guan Yu of the past.

It is really difficult to persuade Guan Yu, this Guan Yu does not eat soft and hard, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he is a little dependent on the old and sells the old, and at the same time he is also the elder of Adou, Adou is sure that there is no one behind the persuasion.

I don't know what's wrong, maybe it's because of worshipping Guan Gong in his previous life, Adou always has an inexplicable sense of awe for Guan Yu, and when facing Guan Yu directly, Adou always feels a sense of powerlessness rising from his heart.

Thinking about Guan Yu's glorious history, it seems that only Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang have listened to the words.

Guan Yu is very righteous, so he naturally has to listen to Liu Bei, the eldest brother. As for Zhuge Liang, he used the method of agitation to move Guan Yu.

Adou pondered, did he also use the agitation method? (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next.) More chapters, support &UC e-book&! )
