Liu Bei's reign in Shu

Briefly introduce these people: Dong He was thrifty and upright in Yizhou, loved and trusted by the people, and was jointly promoted as a follower. Huang Quan had advised Liu Zhang not to welcome Liu Bei into Shu at the beginning, but Liu Zhang did not listen. Later, the counties and counties of Yizhou were attached to Liu Bei, and Guanghan County, where Huang Quan was located, closed the city and held on, until Liu Zhang himself surrendered, and Huang Quan surrendered. Wu Yi's sister once married Liu Zhang's brother Liu Mao as his wife (and later married Liu Bei and became the queen) Liu Ba was a native of Haoyang County, Lingling County, and was originally a subordinate of Liu Biao. After Liu Biao's death, he followed Cao Cao. On Cao Cao's orders, he went to recruit the three counties of Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang. But after the Chibi War, the three counties were obtained by Liu Bei, and Liu Ba could not do anything, so he had to live in Jiaozhou. Zhuge Liang once recruited him by letter, but Liu Ba did not obey, and Liu Bei hated it at that time. Later, Liu Ba entered Shu from Jiaozhou and defected to Liu Zhang. When Liu Zhang wanted to welcome Liu Bei into Shu, Liu Ba refused to listen to his bitter advice, so he closed the door and complained about his illness. Before Liu Bei attacked the CD, he had specially issued a military order "Those who harm Liu Ba will be punished by the three clans", and after several repetitions, Liu Ba finally became Liu Bei's subordinate. During the siege of CD, Liu Bei, in order to boost morale, promised that once the matter was decided, all the treasury treasured and he would take nothing. However, when he really entered CD City, Liu Bei immediately felt that the soldiers had robbed too much, and his military resources were insufficient. At this time, Liu Ba gave Liu Bei an idea: "Mint more coins with large denominations, on the one hand, reward soldiers, and on the other hand, put them on the market to stabilize prices", Liu Bei immediately implemented. Within a few months, the treasury was full.

At that time, someone suggested to Liu Bei that all the fields and houses of the CD should be given to the generals. Zhao Yun resolutely opposed "the people of Yizhou should be returned to them when they first suffered from the military revolution, so that they can live and resume their jobs in peace, and then they can be levied and transferred, so as to win their favor." It is not appropriate for the lord to take it away, in order to reward the person he loves," Liu Bei happily followed.

When Liu Bei besieged CD City, Xu Jing, the Taishou of Shu County, plotted to surrender out of the city. Liu Bei despised Xu Jing's personality because of this, and he was not ready to reuse him. Fa Zheng persuaded that "the lord of this day has created a great cause, and it is advisable to be respectful to comfort the hopes of the near and far" Liu Bei used it politely.

When Liu Bei went south to attack Liu Zhang, he ordered Huo Jun to lead hundreds of people to stay in Jiameng County. Yang Ang came to persuade him on the order of Zhang Lu, saying that he would defend the city together. Huo Jun resolutely refused, "I can get my head, but the city can't be obtained" Liu Zhang's generals Fu Ban and Xiang Cun also led more than 10,000 people to besiege Jiameng City for more than a year, but they couldn't take it. On the contrary, Huo Jun found the right opportunity, waited for his slackness, led the elite out of the city to sneak attack, broke the enemy army, and killed Xiang Cun. In order to reward Huo Jun for this achievement, Liu Bei ordered Guanghan to be divided into Zitong County and appointed Huo Jun as the Taishou of Zitong.

Who is Liu Bei's most trusted advisor in his life? In fact, it's not Zhuge Liang, but Fa Zheng! At this time, Fa Zheng was already in charge, the external commander was the capital, and the internal mastermind was the mastermind. So he began to fight on his own. The virtue of a meal should be repaid, and the resentment of the eyes should also be revenged, and the number of enemies who had killed and injured the enemy without following the laws of the country should be honored. Someone reported the matter to Zhuge Liang, hoping that Zhuge Liang could convey it to Liu Bei, and these two people would come forward to restrain Fazheng. But Zhuge Liang may also have felt the change in the status of himself and Fa Zheng in Liu Bei's mind, so he could only say to the mud, "I think that when the lord was in the public security, he was afraid of Cao Cao's strength in the north, Sun Quan's force in the east, and he was afraid of Mrs. Sun's elbows and armpits." Now the Fa Zheng is supporting it, so that the lord can soar and cannot be copied. How can we still prohibit the Fa Zheng and prevent him from being happy to take revenge?"

That being said, there is still no peace in my heart. Zhuge Liang then decided to revise the regulations on the governance of Shu, and the law was severe, which caused a situation of many people complaining at the beginning. Fa Zheng came to see Zhuge Liang "When Han Gaozu entered the customs, he made an agreement with Qin Min in three chapters, except for Qin Law, and Qin Min knew virtue." Now that you have just gained Yizhou, you should also suspend your sentence and relax your imprisonment to win the hearts of the people, isn't it?" Zhuge Liang replied: "You know one thing, you don't know the other." At that time, because of the strict Qin law, Gaozu was able to be lenient. Now Liu Yan's father and son have been graced for generations, but Liu Zhang's weakness has caused 'morality and politics to be ineffective, and the punishment is not severe.' The people of Shu are authoritarian and self-indulgent. The way of the monarch and the minister is gradually replaced by the mausoleum. Favor the position, the extreme is cheap. Go with it, and if you are exhausted, you will be slow'. They have not obeyed the law for a long time. Now I want to affirm the seriousness of the law, so that the law can be known to be graceful, and the lord can know the honor. Grace and honor, up and down there is moderation, can the maladministration be reversed, which is also called the use of heavy codes to govern the troubled times" In fact, Zhuge Liang's law enforcement is strict but fair. It is "no evil is not punished, no good is not revealed." Officials do not tolerate adultery, and people are self-reliant. "In the entire Shu Han regime, there are only two people who can not be bound by Zhuge Liang's set of laws: that is, the civil official representative Fa Zheng and the military general representative Guan Yu!

Jiang Wan was appointed by Liu Bei as the magistrate of Guangdu County, Shu County. But once when Liu Bei came to Guangdu County on a patrol, he saw Jiang Wan drinking and getting drunk, and ignoring everyone's affairs, so he was immediately furious and wanted to punish Jiang Wan. Zhuge Liang interceded for Jiang Wan, "Jiang Wan is the instrument of the society, not a talent of a hundred miles." The government is based on the safety of the people, not the first modification. May the lord reuse it" Liu Bei listened to Zhuge Liang's words, and did not add guilt to Jiang Wan, but did not reuse him, but dismissed him.

In July, Xun Yu died. Cao Cao once commented on Xun Yu and Xun You, the pair of uncles and nephews, "Xun Yu is good, and he will not make progress." Xun Yu to go to evil, not to go more than ""two Xun Lingzhi people, over time and beneficial. I will never forget."

In July, Cao Cao ordered his young son Cao Zhi to stay in Chengcheng and personally recruit Sun Quan. In October, Cao Cao returned from Hefei.

30 years ago, Xian Lingqiang and Huang Zhongyi rebelled from Hu in Liangzhou, and a person named Song Jian took the opportunity to proclaim himself the king of Heshou Ping Han in Caohan County, Longxi County, changed the yuan, and set up a hundred officials. In October, Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Yuan, now in Xingguo County, Hanyang County, to settle the nearly 30-year-old local separatist regime. In the end, Song Jian was killed and the city of Caohan was slaughtered. Xiahou Yuan ordered Zhang He to lead his troops across the river and enter Xiaohuangzhong, and all the Qiang in the west of the river surrendered, and Longyou was finally pacified.

This year, 34-year-old Emperor Liu Xie of Han Xian will have a final showdown with Cao Cao, the 60-year-old Duke of Wei. For so many years, Liu Xie has been coercing the Son of Heaven by Cao Cao to order the princes to defend the throne. The guards on the left and right are all members of the Cao family. Zhao Yan, the speaker of the Lang, once advised Liu Xie on the time to make a decision, but was killed by Cao Cao.

Once, Cao Cao had something to do to enter the palace to start Liu Xie. This time the result finally made everyone unhappy, and Cao Cao never asked for it again. On that occasion, Liu Xie said to Cao Cao in person, "If you can complement each other, then I will thank you for your kindness." If you can't, please give up" Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this, and begged for it. The old ritual of the Han family, "the three dukes led the troops to see each other, and the tiger was coerced by the tiger guard" Cao Cao was forced out of the palace by the tiger guards, and he was already sweating when he went out.

In addition, the "Secret Edict" incident more than 14 years ago is still fresh in the minds of some people. At that time, Cao Cao ignored the fact that Dong Cheng's daughter was a noble person and pregnant, and ignored Liu Xie's pleas, and executed Dong Cheng's father and daughter. And now the most sensitive to this incident is naturally the queen Fushou and her father Fuwan.

Empress Fu wrote a letter to her father, in which Cao Cao's cruelty was all about Cao Cao's cruelty, and asked her father to secretly plan it. But I didn't dare to send it after I was afraid. Finally, the matter was leaked, and Cao Cao was furious. On November 20, Cao Cao ordered the imperial historian Xi Xi and Shang Shu to order Hua Xin to lead the troops into the palace and confiscate the queen's seal. Frightened, Queen Fu closed her door and hid in the wall. But Hua Xin didn't let it go, and directly broke the wall and dragged Queen Fu out.

At that time, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was in the outer hall and sat down with Xi Jian to discuss the matter. Suddenly, I saw Queen Fu with her hair and feet, crying all the way and being pulled out, when she saw Liu Xie, she cried and said, "Can't you live again?" Liu Xie choked up and said, "I don't know when my life is" and said to Xi Xian, "Gong Xi, is there such a thing in the world?" Xi Xian didn't answer, and Hua Xin dragged Queen Fu into the violent room, and later died due to seclusion. The second prince born to Empress Fu was killed. More than 100 brothers and clans died. Mu Ying and 19 others were assigned to Zhuo County.

In December, Cao Cao came to the Mengjin Yellow River crossing. Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty issued an edict: Cao Cao was allowed to place a yak, and the palace was set up with a bell tiger.

On the 19th, Cao Cao issued the second order of the "Three Orders for Seeking Talents".

Cao Cao ordered: "Those who are in the army, if they are not their own people, and the life and death of the three armies are really terrifying." It is necessary to carefully select those who understand the law to serve as "Gao Rou as Cao Peng." At that time, the old law in the army was that "if a sergeant fled, his wife would be tortured", but the trend of fleeing in the army was still unstoppable. Cao Cao wanted to increase the punishment and expand the scope of torture to his parents and brothers. was stopped by Gao Rouli.

On January 18, 215, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty issued an edict: Cao Cao's middle daughter and noble Cao Jie was appointed as the queen. Give the world a first-class knighthood for men. Filial piety, the second class title of the field. Princes and Princes Valley. This was the last knighthood of the Han Dynasty and the only knighthood in the era of Emperor Xian. The reason is self-evident, it is to highlight Cao Cao's status. At this time, the Han regime had existed in name only.

In January, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Wuyuan, and Shuofang counties were canceled and Xinxing counties were established.

In March, Cao Cao personally conquered Zhang Lu. First sent Zhang He, Zhu Ling and others to break through the Di people who were blocking the way. In April, Cao Cao went out of Sanguan from Chencang County, which was supported by the wind on the right, and entered Hechi County, Wudu County, and there were more than 10,000 people led by Dou Mao, the king of Di, to block the way. In May, it was slaughtered.

In May, Lu Yan, Jiang Shi and other generals of Xiping and Jincheng killed Han Sui and dedicated their heads to Cao Cao.

When the news of Liu Bei's seizure of Shu reached Jiangdong, Sun Quan was furious and scolded that "the cunning captives are so cunning" and sent Zhuge Liang's brother Zhuge Jin to the CD to meet Liu Bei and ask for the return of the Jingzhou counties. Liu Bei's answer was, "When I take Liangzhou, I will return Jingzhou to Eastern Wu," Sun Quan said angrily, "This is perfunctory to me," and directly appointed the magistrates of Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang counties, and asked them to go to their posts. As a result, they were all driven back by Guan Yu. Sun Quan finally decided to use force to solve the problem, and ordered Lü Meng to lead 20,000 soldiers including Xian Yudan, Xu Zhong, and Sun Gui to attack the three counties. Ordered Lu Su to lead 10,000 people into Baqiu in Changsha County to resist Guan Yu. Sun Quan himself also came to Lukou and personally controlled the armies.

Soon, the two counties of Changsha and Guiyang surrendered to Lü Meng. Only Lingling is too guarded by Hao Pu and does not surrender to the city. After Liu Bei heard the news, he also hurriedly led 50,000 troops to the public security, and ordered Guan Yu to lead 30,000 troops to Yiyang County, Changsha County. As soon as the war broke out, Sun Quanfei ordered Lü Meng to give up the attack on Lingling County and return to the army to join Lu Su.

After receiving the letter, Lu Meng kept it a secret. That night, the generals were summoned to give them the strategy. Early the next morning, he summoned Hao Pu's old man Deng Xuanzhi and asked Deng Xuanzhi to recruit Hao Pu. Hao Pu didn't know that Liu Bei had arrived at the public security at this time and Guan Yu was in Yiyang, so he surrendered in fear. Lü Meng personally went out to greet him, disembarked with his men, and showed Hao Pu the urgent letter written by Sun Quan to himself. Hao Pu was ashamed, and Lu Meng threw his hands and laughed. In the end, Lü Meng left Sun Jiao and entrusted him with future affairs. He led the army to Yiyang quickly.

Seeing that the Sun-Liu alliance broke down and the war began, Lu Su felt very uncomfortable. In order to maintain the alliance, Lu Su was ready to make a final effort. He took the initiative to invite Guan Yu. It was agreed that the two sides would garrison troops and horses a hundred paces away, and the commanders of both sides would go to the meeting alone. At the meeting, Lu Su accused Guan Yu of driving out the three county magistrates appointed by Sun Quan not long ago. Guan Yu also refuted it reasonably. It's just that because both sides insist on their own words, and their respective bosses have not come forward, it is impossible to talk about anything in this one-on-one meeting...

At this time, Liu Bei received the news that Cao Cao was attacking Hanzhong, and in order to prevent Yizhou from losing, in order to avoid fighting on two fronts, Liu Bei took the initiative to send an envoy to Sun Quan to sue for peace. Sun Quan also sent Zhuge Jin as an envoy again. The two families agreed to divide Jingzhou into two with Xiangshui as the boundary: Changsha, Jiangxia, and the east of Guiyang belonged to Sun Quan. Nanjun, Lingling, and Wuling belong to Liu Bei to the west. and continue the Sun-Liu alliance relationship.

In July, Cao Cao's army reached Yangping Pass, on the border between Hanzhong County and Wudu County. When the news came, Zhang Lu first thought of surrendering. However, his younger brother Zhang Wei objected, and led Yang Ang and Yang Ren to two generals and tens of thousands of soldiers, and built a city in Hengshan for more than ten miles, preparing to resist and hold on.

At the beginning, Cao Cao believed the words of the people engaged in Liangzhou and Wudu, "the north and south mountains under Yangping City are quite far away, and they cannot be guarded" but when he saw it, he couldn't help but sigh "The words of others cannot be believed"

Yangping Mountain is steep and difficult to climb, and Cao's army cannot succeed in several strong attacks. There were many casualties among the soldiers, and the military rations were almost exhausted. Cao Cao decided to withdraw his troops. Send Xiahoudun and Xu Chu to inform Cao Bing on the mountain. That's when something magical happened. One unit strayed into Zhang Wei's camp because of the unfamiliar roads at night, which immediately caused chaos. This phenomenon was first discovered by Xin Bi and Liu Ye. They immediately sent someone to inform Xiahoudun and Xu Chu that "our army has occupied the key camp of the thief army, and the thief army has dispersed" Xiahoudun personally came to inspect it, so he dared to be sure of all this in front of him, and immediately sent someone to report back to Cao Cao. Cao Cao ordered to take the opportunity to attack, and the result was a great victory, beheading Yang Ren and Zhang Wei fleeing at night.

After the defeat of Zhang Wei's soldiers, Zhang Lu wanted to surrender again. Yan Pu said, "Surrender at this time, we have no credit. If you can persuade Ba and those Yi Shuai to surrender together, this is also a merit" Zhang Lu gladly accepted and ordered to flee south into Ba County. Before escaping, his subordinates suggested that Zhang Lu burn the treasure warehouse, but Zhang Lu refused, "I am going to surrender." Therefore, these things should be owned by the state, how can it be said that they will be burned?" ordered that they should all be sealed. Then leave Hanzhong County to govern the south and Zheng County to the south. After Cao Cao entered Nanzheng City, he saw this scene, and knew that Zhang Lu had the intention of surrendering, so he sent people to comfort him and urge him to surrender as soon as possible.
