Chapter 8 The Southward Journey

Because of the early arrival, the room was empty at this time, and Jiang Wei sat down and began to read the Di copy.

Di copied from the Western Han Dynasty, when each county in the capital Chang'an set up a "residence", sent a resident official, regularly the emperor's edicts, edicts, ministers and other official documents and court affairs and other information, written on bamboo slips or silk silk, and then by the messenger riding a fast horse, transmitted to the county magistrate, each county scribe and then transcribed, sent to the county office officials, for consultation. Di copied to communicate with the government and the opposition, and it was indeed the fastest way for state and county officials to understand the world's major affairs, so it has continued to this day.

With nothing to do, it took him a few hours to read through the mansion in recent months. It's nothing more than who is a marquis, who rebels, who pays tribute, who is a pawn, and so on. One of them caught his attention.

"Wuwei Yan Jun, Zhang Ye and Luan, Jiuquan Huanghua, Xiping Lu Yan, etc., each according to their own county, called themselves generals, and attacked each other. Jun sent an envoy to send his mother and son to King Wei as hostages to ask for help. ”

The meaning of this copy is probably that Yanjun, a native of Wuwei, a native of Zhangye and Luan, a native of Jiuquan, Huang Hua, and a native of Xiping, called themselves generals in their respective boundaries and attacked each other. Yan Jun sent envoys to send his mother and son to meet Cao Cao, the king of Wei, in an attempt to take his relatives hostage in exchange for the support of Cao Cao, the king of Wei.

The four counties of Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan and Xiping were the hometowns of the original Liangzhou, which were incorporated into the territory of Wei after Cao Cao's western expedition. However, this copy shows that at this time, the big households in the county have a tendency to divide their territory. It can be seen that Wei's control over the Western Liang border was still not very effective.

Seeing that half of the colleagues in the county were arriving one after another, Jiang Wei naturally couldn't help but greet each other. Fortunately, he was in charge of the military affairs in the county, and he didn't have much contact with his colleagues, so he had to take the rest of the mansion at leisure. I took care of some more official documents, and it was already afternoon when I was done.

When he saw that there was nothing to do, he lifted his spirits and began to think about the southward journey.

The trip south was destined to be bumpy.

Since last year, the two countries of Wei and Shu have fought many wars, large and small, dozens of vicious battles, and the border has already been beaten to the ground.

After Liu Bei obtained a place in Hanzhong, he ascended to the throne of Hanzhong in July, and returned to the rule of CD, with Wei Yan, the general of Yamen, as the general of Zhenbei, leading Hanzhong Taishou to guard Hanzhong.

With the current situation, the battle of Hanzhong consumed a lot of money, grain and manpower in Shuzhong, and Yizhou was temporarily unable to launch another large-scale battle.

As for Wei, after the loss of its commander Xiahou Yuan, its Longyou Western Army was unable to advance and urgently needed to rest.

It is precisely because of this that Wei and Shu respectively stationed heavy troops in Chang'an and Hanzhong, and took the area of Chencang Road, Xiegu Road and Yangping Pass as the boundary, and the two sides rode out one after another, strengthening the blockade and control of the flow of people on the border, and even reached the point where pedestrians were scarce and business travel was forbidden.

Jiang Wei knew in his heart that if he was alone, with a fast horse and a long spear, he would not be very difficult to go out day and night, but his mother's wife and Taoist family were inconvenient to travel far away, so they could only take a car on this trip, so they could only choose the main road. The first difficulty in this southward journey lies in how to break through the border blockade.

He has been eager to learn the geography of mountains and rivers since he was a child, and there is also a topographic map of Yongliang mountains and rivers hanging in the duty room, which is very popular, and he observes more than every day. Thinking of this, he slowly walked to the map, stretched out his fingers, took Tianshui Jicheng as the starting point, slowly slid down, slid past Qishan, Jianwei, Russia, and suddenly stretched out his fist and smashed it accurately on Wudu County.

Wudu here, since ancient Han and Hu mixed dwelling, north of Tianshui, south of Yinping, west of the Qiang people's hometown, to the east can reach Hanzhong Yangping. The idiom is Longwang Shu, Long is Longright, Shu is Yizhou, Wudu lives between Longlong and Shu, and it is the main road to communicate Liang and Yizhou. When Cao Cao conquered Zhang Lu, this is the way to obtain.

After Cao Cao withdrew his troops, he was worried that Liu Bei would take Wudu to invade Guanzhong, so he ordered Yongzhou to assassinate Shi Zhang Ji to Wudu, and moved more than 50,000 Qiang people and more than 10,000 Han people to live in Jingzhao County, Fufeng County and Tianshui County, leaving only a few Qiang people who were unwilling to move to live autonomously.

In other words, Wei was powerless to control Wudu County and was in a state of semi-abandonment. After the strategy of clearing the wilderness, the Wudu area was sparsely populated at this time, and there were no county soldiers stationed in the area, which was undoubtedly the best breakthrough for this trip.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wei finally let out a long breath. The most difficult level has been dealt with, and the remaining details have emerged one after another after careful consideration.

He also has absolute confidence in the situation after going south.

Soon after Liu Bei entered Shudi, there were many people in the wealthy family of Yizhou who were not satisfied. In terms of force, Liu Bei fought in Hanzhong, and he had already shown the advantage of his minions; In terms of righteousness, another "Hanzhong War" was also urgently needed to promote the legitimacy of the Shu Han regime.

The so-called king, Degas is all over the world, and he is far away. Nothing can demonstrate the legitimacy of the Shu Han regime more than the surrender of the officials of the enemy country, and nothing can inspire the morale of the people who cherish their homeland more than the surrender of the officials of the enemy country.

In ancient times, there were kings who bought horse bones, and with Liu Bei's eloquence and strategy, he would definitely seize this act of surrendering thousands of miles to promote orthodoxy and inspire loyal ministers. This is also where Jiang Wei's confidence lies.

However, more than political symbolism, Jiang Wei believes that his own talents, as well as the additional thousands of years of knowledge, are truly priceless. As long as Xiao concentrates on his work, why can't he have a day to show his talents?

As soon as his thoughts unfolded, his spirit suddenly soared.

The current Shu Han is the reign of the male lord, the five tigers are newly sealed, the master is in the same house, the land is across Jingyi, and the talents are abundant, which is the most powerful and glorious time. When he thought that he would be able to interact and work with Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and the Five Tiger Generals who he had always admired in his previous life, he couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart.

In the near future, he will be able to compete with heroes such as Lu Meng, Sima Yi, and Lu Xun for a long time, Jiang Wei can't help but be enthusiastic, excited, and gradually feel that he lives up to this life.

I don't know what the other two sages, Deng Ai and Zhong Hui, who are as famous as themselves and known as the "Three Sages" in the future, are doing at the moment, and whether they have the ambition to clear the world. ”

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile. The future will be magnificent and wonderful.

All afternoon, Jiang Wei was thinking carefully about the plan to go south, and it was almost evening, and the sound of the next duty board had already sounded in the courtyard.

Finally, when the details were finalized one by one, he was about to clean up and go home, and three people came together outside the room, and the first one was still at the door, and shouted: "Boyo, you are really still on duty, take a walk, the Qiting restaurant on the left street, I invited this meal." ”

Jiang Wei looked up and saw that it was Yin Xian, followed by Liang Xu and Liang Qian.

After these brothers and sisters returned to Jicheng a few days ago, they had their own favors and entertainment, and they hadn't seen each other for a few days.

He saw that the three of them were light and full of joy, so he got up to greet each other and said with a smile: "I am penniless on weekdays, but today I am so generous, but I am digging gold and silver?" ”

Yin Xian laughed and said, "It is indeed a small fortune, and this matter is also related to Boyo." However, this is not a place for negotiation, and we have already set up a good table at the wine shop, and Boyo will go with us as soon as possible. ”

After that, the three of them didn't help Jiang Wei to say anything, and pushed him into the street. Jiang Wei couldn't shirk it, and before leaving, he had to reward the handyman with a copper coin, ask him to run an errand for him, and inform his mother that he didn't have to wait for dinner. Only then did he leave with Yin Xian and the Liang brothers.

The Qiting Liquor Store on Zuo Street is only a mile away from the county office, and the four of them chatted and laughed all the way, and the tea kung fu arrived. Tianshui is close to the western cool border, which is very affected by Hu Feng. This Qiting restaurant also does not promote a meal system, but invites guests to sit around the table.

Yin Xian asked for a Qi Chu Xi'er, ordered a full table of wine, meat, fruits, and rice noodles, and personally poured a full glass of wine for Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei smiled: "I am so attentive today, I don't dare to drink this glass of wine." What the hell is going on, it's not really recruited. ”

Yin Xian raised his wine glass, looked left and right, his face was glorious, and said loudly: "This glass of thin wine is a tribute to the Qiang people who broke the rebellion." The three of us were walking in the army, but this time they were stained with the light of Boyo. ”

Liang Xu and Liang Qian also got up together and said, "I'm also stained with the light of Boyo." As soon as the words fell, the three of them raised their necks and drank the wine in their cups.
