In ancient times, there was a Tang Kingdom, located in the middle of Shanxi, and later the second emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, in the era of King Cheng of Zhou, the regent of the Duke of Zhou, destroyed the Tang Kingdom, and then gave the place of the Tang Kingdom to Tang Shuyu, the youngest son of King Wu, which was the Jin Kingdom. []

Later, the monarchs of the Jin State were crazy and strong, and they had destroyed Geng, Huo, Wei, Yu, Yu and other countries, and defeated the Lirong and other tribes, and then the Jin Wen Gong Chong'er defeated the Chu State, making the Jin State the overlord of the Central Plains. However, in the late autumn, Zhao Xiangzi, Wei Xianzi and Han Xuanzi, the doctors of the Jin Kingdom, rebelled and divided the Jin State into three parts, that is, the Zhao State, the Wei State and the Korean State in the later Warring States Period.

The surnames and surnames of the ancients were different, and in the pre-Qin period, the names of aristocratic men were called by their names rather than their surnames, such as Qin Shi Huang, the surname of Win, and the Zhao family, and now we call him Ying Zheng, but at that time, he was called Zhao Zheng. The successive monarchs of the Jin State were the descendants of King Wu of Zhou, and their natural surname was Ji, and later when Tang Shuyu's son changed the name of the country to the Jin State, the monarch of the Jin State became the surname Ji and the Jin family.

And later Zhao State, Wei State and Korea, among which Zhao Guojun is the surname Win, and the monarch of Wei State and South Korea are all surnamed Ji, which is also the national surname of Jin State, and the princes of the three families of Jin, if they are called according to the current surname, should be called Ying Xiangzi, Ji Xianzi and Ji Xuanzi.

……

Sima Zhao's eyes looked at the tablet in front of him a little dullly, and finally, he showed a name that he was very familiar with.

"Jin Weizhu, Jin Chong'er, Jin Huan ......" from generation to generation. The name of the monarch of the Jin State appeared in front of Sima Zhao's eyes.

"Third uncle, what are these?" Sima Zhao asked with a puzzled expression.

"They are all the ancestors of our Sima family!" Manage. Ma Fu said, took a slight breath, and then said: "My Sima family was originally surnamed Ji, but they were the direct descendants of the Jin royal family. ”

"After hundreds of years of ups and downs, we. . . The Sima family has finally gained a firm foothold in this Hanoi county, and the tripartite princes of the three families back then, that is, the enemies of our Sima family, have long been wiped out by the Qin people. ”

"Now our Sima family, not to mention in this Hanoi county, is to look at the whole . The Central Plains is also one of the largest families. But this is still too far from our ancestors' dominating Jin! Saying this, Sima Fu sighed slightly.

"I turned out to be a descendant of the Great Jin Kingdom back then?" Sima Zhao glanced at that. Some of the tablets that were enshrined, and then looked at the night pearls inlaid on the walls around them, Sima Zhao finally believed what Sima Fu said, maybe only the Jin Kingdom back then could have such a big stroke and make so many night pearls.

"Xiao Zhao, in the past few hundred years, our Sima family has been forbearing, but I. . We have never given up, working hard to restore the glory of our Great Jin Kingdom! Now, I tell you this, just hoping that you can pass on your will, and if he has the opportunity one day, he must restore the glory of my Great Jin! ”

"Restore the Great Jin?" Sima Zhao looked at Sima Fu with some hesitation.

"Hehe, Xiao Zhao, I know. This sentence of the Tao is not easy to restore the Great Jin! If it was thirty years ago, our Sima family had the current power, and there were so many talents like now, maybe we would be able to seize the world like Cao Cao and achieve a kingship. It's a pity that our brothers were born a little late...... However, Xiao Zhao, don't be discouraged, our generation can't do it, and your generation, your generation can't do it, and your descendants, for hundreds of years, our Sima family has been waiting, I don't care about this time and a half, as long as we don't give up, one day, we can restore the glory of our Sima family! ”

Listening to Sima Fu's words, Sima Zhao nodded fiercely, and at the same time prayed silently in his heart: "The ancestors and the ancestors bless, if I Sima Zhao gains power in the future, I will definitely rebuild the glory of my Great Jin!" In other days, if there is a chance, I will definitely re-establish the Jin Kingdom! ”

……

Yecheng.

Cao Pi died of illness, and Cao Rong inherited the throne naturally.

Then, according to Cao Pi's edict, Cao Rong appointed Cao Zhen as the Great Sima, Sima Yi as the Grand Lieutenant, and other officials also had their own rewards.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that Xu Shu was named prime minister by Cao Rong! Xu Shu suddenly became the first person under the emperor.

After Xu Shu entered Cao Ying, he never offered any strategy to Cao Cao, and his political achievements on weekdays were not outstanding. This has taken many people by surprise.

In terms of qualifications, Xu Shu also joined the Wei State from the Cao Cao era and can be regarded as a veteran of the three dynasties, but because Cao Pi's reign was relatively short, there were many veterans of the three dynasties in the Wei State. When it comes to ability, Xu Shu has been famous for almost 20 years, but after joining the Wei State, he has not made much achievements, and the momentum itself is a demote, so Cao Rong's move made many people quite unconvinced.

Compared with many other ministers, Xu Shu has no advantage at all, and being able to become prime minister can only show that Cao Ei trusts Xu Shu very much, so everyone began to inquire about Cao Ei and Xu Shu's relationship.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, under the investigation of many well-intentioned people, the relationship between Xu Shu and Cao Ei finally became clear, and everyone knew that when Cao Ei was most unwilling, Xu Shu helped Cao Ei and finally helped Cao Ei ascend the throne.

It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's a lot more difficult to send charcoal in the snow, Xu Shu helped Cao Rong when Cao Ei was in the most difficult time, and finally ascended to the position of prime minister, and everyone had nothing to say.

Politics is an investment, and it is the one that has the greatest returns, and it is also an investment that is worth risking your life. Investors with good vision, like Na Lü Buwei, come to a strange commodity to live in, and the final harvest will be a country.

After Xu Shu became the prime minister, he immediately went against the norm, suddenly became high-profile, and issued one decree after another. Xu Shu's talent in internal affairs is not as good as Zhuge Liang, but he can also be called a top talent. And today's Wei State, the old and the young, is the fault period of the replacement of talents, and Xu Shu was born out of nowhere, which immediately shocked the ministers. In the blink of an eye, the criticism of Xu Shu in the DPRK and China was quelled.

When the news of Cao Pi's death reached Shouchun, Sun Quan immediately decided to go on the Northern Expedition, but was stopped by Zhuge Jin. Zhuge Jin suggested to Sun Quan that he should follow this opportunity to unite with Shu and attack Wei together, let Adou send troops to attack Tongguan and Wuguan, and at the same time 6 Xun attacked Xiangfan and Sun Quan attacked Xuzhou, pulling Wei's defense line into three sections, so that it could not be taken into account at the end.

According to Zhuge Jin's plan, on the Chang'an side, to break through Tongguan, it is the Hongnong Plain, and then the Shu army can go straight to Luoyang, threatening Xudu and Nanyang at the same time; And if the Shu army breaks through the Wuguan, it will directly enter Wancheng. Both plans will threaten Wancheng, Wancheng is the rear of Xiangyang, said Wancheng is broken, Sima Yi on the front line of Xiangyang is equivalent to being cut off from the back road, if Sima Yi does not retreat to Xudu at that time, he will inevitably be annihilated by the Shu army and the Wu army on both sides, so Sima Yi will undoubtedly retreat, and Wei will lose the entire Nanyang County and even the Sili region.

Similarly, if the 6 Xun side has made progress and captured the Xiangfan line, Nanyang will inevitably be unprotected, and it will also threaten Xu Du, and the Wei army will lose Nanyang, which is equivalent to losing Wuguan, and the Shu army can enter from Wuguan, and then the Wu-Shu coalition army will attack Xudu or attack Sili, it is a simple matter, just one Sima Yi, it is difficult to resist.

If Sun Quan can achieve victory, the entire Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and even Yanzhou will be captured by the Wu army, once Yanzhou is lost, Si Li and Xu Du will face three sides of the two countries, it will be difficult to last, which is more terrible for Wei than the previous situations.

So to calculate, Wei has four points to defend, but none of these four points can be lost, and Wu and Shu, as long as they can successfully capture one of the points and move the whole body, will go to win the entire battle.

Zhuge Jin's suggestion was immediately adopted by Sun Quan, and now that Cao Pi has just died, the political situation of Wei is unstable, and it is a good time to attack, and these four attack points, as long as one of them can be successful, Wei will lose at least a quarter of its strength.

But Sun Quan took into account another problem, that is, the distribution of interests, to put it bluntly, it is how to distribute the territory captured.

In this regard, Sun Quan suffered a loss, it was because he did not negotiate this well, and finally Jingzhou was almost relied on by Liu Bei, and now Zhuge Jin put forward the plan, the eastern front is easy to say, Xuzhou, Qingzhou and Yanzhou are too far away from Shu Han, Shu is unable to intervene, but Nanyang is different, Sun Quan does not want to be like the Battle of Chibi, to make a wedding dress for others, so Sun Quan feels that it is better to discuss the division of the territory first, so as not to have disputes in the future.

……

Zhuge Jin can see how much of a threat the four roads will pose to Wei, not to mention Zhuge Liang, compared to Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang can see the fifth way, that is, the Gongsun family in Liaodong.

The Gongsun of Liaodong has a family of Gongsun, which has only been rising for 50 years, but now it is also a prince.

Speaking of the Gongsun family, we have to mention Gongsun Du, who is also a prince of the same era as Cao Cao and Liu Bei. At that time, the Gongsun family in Liaodong was just a small family, and the head of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Du, was just a small official. Gongsun Du and Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong are fellow villagers, when Dong Zhuo was the prime minister, Xu Rong recommended Gongsun Du as the Taishou of Liaodong. In the next few years, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and the princes were unable to take care of Liaodong, giving Gongsun Du a lot of room to expand.

At that time, Liaodong was under the jurisdiction of Youzhou, but whether it was Liu Yu, Gongsun Zan or Yuan Shao, they did not pay attention to the remote and sparsely populated Liaodong, Gongsun Du was also very honest did not step out of Liaodong, and the rising power of Gongsun Du took this opportunity to establish himself as the Marquis of Liaodong and Pingzhou Mu, and then went east to Goguryeo, west to Karasuma, and also trained a naval army, once captured the Shandong Peninsula. After several years of territorial development, Gongsun Du's territory is at least as large as that of a medium-sized state in the Han Dynasty.

However, the location of Liaodong does have its limitations, although Gongsun Du has already recruited displaced people, and even recruited wise men such as Guan Ning and Bingyuan, but the population of Liaodong is still not much, compared to the war-torn Central Plains, it is still inferior.

In the ninth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao led the battle of Guandu to win the division, the northern expedition to Jizhou, in order to appease Gongsun Du, Cao Cao cousin Gongsun Du as the general of Wuwei, Feng Yongning Xianghou, in the same year, Gongsun Du died of illness, Gongsun Du's eldest son Gongsun Kang attacked Gongsun Du's official title and title. Later, Gongsun Kang crusaded against Goguryeo several times, and broke through the capital of Goguryeo, claiming Liaodong, but in the year Liu Bei ascended the throne, Gongsun Kang also fell ill and died.

Gongsun Kang died of illness, and it stands to reason that it should be inherited by Gongsun Kang's son. Gongsun Kang had two sons, one was Gongsun Huang, and the other was called Gongsun Yuan.

But when Gongsun Kang died, Gongsun Huang and Gongsun Yuan were still young, and Gongsun Kang also had a younger brother named Gongsun Gong, how could the two young sons fight Gongsun Gong, so Liaodong Taishou was obtained by Gongsun Gong.

The first thing Gongsun Gong did after coming to power was to send Gongsun Kang's eldest son, Gongsun Huang, to Luoyang as a hostage. According to Gongsun Gong's plan, Gongsun Huang is the eldest son of Gongsun Kang, and he has always been the eldest son to inherit his father's position, and it is also the biggest threat to himself.

Maybe it's because of the cycle of heavenly principles, not long after Gongsun Gong came to power, he got a serious illness and lost his fertility, and it just so happened that Gongsun Gong hadn't given birth to a son yet.

A few years have passed, and Gongsun Kang's two sons have grown up, and they are no longer the two ignorant teenagers they were. Especially the old 2nd Gongsun Yuan, he has begun to peek into the position of Liaodong Taishou. After all, the eldest son, Gongsun Huang, is not in Liaodong, and once Gongsun Gong has something, Gongsun Yuan will become the heir.

Zhuge Liang had already noticed this, so Zhuge Liang planned to plot against Gongsun Yuan, and then let Gongsun Yuan lead the troops to attack Youzhou, involving part of the Cao army's troops.

……

The envoys of Eastern Wu finally arrived in Chang'an and presented their credentials to Adou, hoping that the two sides could jointly send troops to attack Wei.

Taking advantage of the time when Cao Pi had just died to crusade against the Wei State, it coincided with Adou's thoughts. When Liu Bei died, Cao Pi also found himself to be troubled, and now it is time for Cao Rong to help Cao Pi repay his debts.

However, the envoys of Eastern Wu put forward another request, that is, no matter what, Nanyang should be owned by Eastern Wu, and whoever occupies the other places will be counted as anyone's.

The mediocrity of Shu is still bordering Nanyang, and Adou is naturally unwilling to give up Nanyang for no reason. However, in order to form an alliance, Adou still summoned Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others to discuss together.

In the study, before Adou came, Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang had already arrived first.

"Hehehe, Sun Quan has such a big appetite, he actually wants to ask for the whole Nanyang directly!" Pang Tong had a smile on his face, but because Pang Tong was ugly, this smile gave people a sense of obscenity.

Pang Tong smiled, looked at Zhuge Liang next to him, and said: "Kong Ming, this is all your fault, you relied on Jingzhou to not give Sun Quan back then, and now Sun Quan is afraid of you, and you want Nanyang by name......"

"Hehe, it's just a Nanyang, just give it to him!" Zhuge Liang lightly fanned the feather fan in his hand, although it was winter, and Zhuge Liang was also wearing a thick fur, but this fan was in Zhuge Liang's hand, but it did not show the slightest discordant taste.

"To him? Kong Ming, when did you become so generous? In the past, when I was in Longzhong, I went to your house to drink a glass of wine, and I was given a few days, how could I be willing to give Nanyang County to Sun Quan now? Pang Tongyi said with a wicked smile.

"Shi Yuan, think about it, is today's Nanyang still the same as before? Today's Nanyang is for Sun Quan, so what's the matter? Zhuge Liang said.

"Prime Minister, why is that?" Adou's voice came from behind, and then I saw Adou flash out from behind the screen.

"I've seen Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong saluted Adou at the same time.

"Excuse me, just the three of us, the two of us don't need to be polite. By the way, Prime Minister, you just said that you would give Nanyang to Sun Quan, why is this? Adou asked.

"Your Majesty, today's Nanyang is not as good as it was back then, after experiencing the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Nanyang has been decayed, and then Cao Cao moved the people of Nanyang into Yingchuan, Runan and other places, and now Nanyang has a piece of fertile land, but there are not many people." Zhuge Liang replied.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nanyang used to be the first county of the Han Dynasty, the strength of a Nanyang county, the top of a medium state, the prosperity of Wancheng in Nanyang Prefecture, and it was no worse than the capital Luoyang. But when the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Nanyang was also one of the hardest hit areas, the Yellow Turban Army Ma Yuanyi wanted to start an incident in Luoyang, but the incident was broken by the car, and Zhang Mancheng of Nanyang immediately rose up, killed the Nanyang County Guard, and then gathered more than 100,000 troops, although Zhang Mancheng was still killed later, and the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army was also pacified, but it was true that Nanyang's vitality was greatly injured, more than a dozen cities became a piece of rubble, and Nanyang was no longer prosperous.

Later, Yuan Shu was the Taishou of Nanyang, and as a result, Nanyang was a mess, and then Zhang Xiu occupied Nanyang, and Cao Cao fought twice, which made the lives miserable, and when Cao Cao occupied Nanyang, Nanyang County was not as prosperous as Emperor Ling.

After the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei took refuge in Liu Biao and was arranged in Xinye as a barrier against Cao Cao, and Guan Yu also captured Wancheng. Cao Cao realized that Nanyang would become a battlefield, so he simply migrated the people of Nanyang to Yingchuan and Runan Tuntian, as if Deng Ai went to Runan at that time.

It can be said that today's Nanyang is not as prosperous as when Emperor Ling was in power, so in Zhuge Liang's view, he gave it to Sun Quan, and he was not distressed.

Adou thought for a while, and asked again: "Prime Minister, what you said is very reasonable, but if you take Nanyang, you can threaten Yingchuan and Luoyang, if you give it to Sun Quan like this, it's not good!" Moreover, Nanyang is only a martial pass away from Chang'an, and I feel that this Nanyang is still quite important. ”
