December of the first year of Yanxing of the Han Dynasty, Chengdu.

Xiao cavalry captain Guan Yi broke Wei Zhengxi's general Deng Ai in Jiangyoushu, Wei Xingjun Sima Shi usurped the head, the general Tian Xu surrendered, and the Han army recovered Yinping, Guangwu, and Qingchuan counties.

After all the things were dealt with, Guan Yi ordered Zhang Zun to lead 3,000 soldiers to guard the Jiangyou Garrison, and Li Qiu and Huang Chong's two generals led 20,000 Lin Wei to deploy in the Muyuzui of the Baishui River. Later, he led Chen Lie, Ehu and others back to Chengdu to resume their lives.

In the solemn palace hall, Guan Yi stood in the center, and several battles with Deng Ai, he described it very concisely, but the wording of each sentence was well grasped, and the ministers of the Chinese military forces from Liu Chan and below listened to it with excitement and fascination.

Since Zhuge Wuhou, although the Han army has defeated the Wei army many times, but to talk about the real sense of the victory, or the victory that shakes the foundation of the Wei State, only the general Jiang Wei in the eighteenth year of Yanxi in Taoxi to break the Wei State Yongzhou Assassin Shi Wang Jing battle, that battle Han army beheaded more than 10,000 levels, for a time Yongliang and other places of the people were unstable, complaints arose, the Wei court was shaken, three consecutive orders to pacify the situation to stabilize the situation.

Now, Guan Yi once again replicated the great victory of the Han against the Wei State, especially in the extraordinary period when the Wei army attacked the Han in three ways, and it helped to inspire the determination and courage of the Han soldiers to resist the enemy to the death, which was of greater significance than the victory in Taoshui.

Liu Chanxi couldn't help it. Jiangyou's victory means that the Wei army's plan to attack Shu in three ways has failed, Jiang Wei is guarding the Sword Pavilion, although Zhonghui has 100,000 male soldiers, he can't pass, and the Wei army's grain and grass will retreat sooner or later, and he can continue to sit back and relax.

Fan Jian cried with joy. Guan Yi lived up to expectations and broke Deng Ai, in terms of public speaking, he saved the foundation of the Han Dynasty, and in private terms, he did not let him lose face. This is somewhat similar to the political situation of the Han Dynasty in recent years - Jiang Wei sent troops to fight against Cao Wei, and most of the people in the court were opposed, only he was diligent in political affairs as Shang Shuling, and supported Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition alone.

Huang Hao was overjoyed. Or when the Wei soldiers attacked Shu in three ways, he used witchcraft to pretend to be a ghost to deceive Liu Chan and the Wei soldiers would not attack, who knows that it didn't take long to receive the news that the Wei soldiers descended from the sky and approached Chengdu. Since this period of time, he has not lived a comfortable day, if Guan Yi can not stop Deng Ai's attack, he may become the culprit of the destruction of the Han Dynasty, become a victim of Liu Chan and a group of civil and military ministers to vent their anger, now Guan Yi has returned with a big victory, his crisis is also in the past, with his understanding of Liu Chan and his own incorruptible tongue, he will definitely be able to regain Liu Chan's favor.

A great victory, three joys, deducing different life perceptions.

Liu Chan's face was full of red light, and he said loudly: "Ai Qing lived up to my expectations, broke Deng Ai in Jiang Youshu, and the Wei people lost their courage, and I was very relieved. Come on, proclaim! ”

"No!" A little Huangmen hurriedly responded, took two steps forward with the holy decree in his hand, and said sharply: "Xiao Cavalry Captain Guan Yi, bravely defeated the enemy, outstanding meritorious service, I hereby worship General Fuhan, give 500 gold, 100,000 yuan, and 50 silk horses." Chin this! ”

"Thank you, Lord Ron!" Guan Yi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed to Xie En. Although this time the Wei army was defeated, so it was already certain that the imperial court would add officials to him, but he never expected that the imperial court would directly move himself to the general of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty, and also rewarded a lot of gold, silver and money.

After all, in the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Wu, there are many people with military merits, so in addition to the titles of the Han system, the three kingdoms have added many general titles for recognition. However, compared with Wei and Wu, the Han Dynasty has always been extremely strict in rewarding the qualifications of generals, although the General Fu Han is only a miscellaneous general with a slightly higher rank than the Yamen General, the partial general, and the General Pi, it can be regarded as a veritable military attache title, and with his current age and qualifications, he has won such glory in the Han court, which is rare among the younger generation.

Of course, Guan Yi's contribution to killing Wei generals in battle, killing 5,000 and forcing the landing of 3,000 elite soldiers of the Wei army in Yongliang, thus pushing the Han to change from passive to active in the entire battle and reversing the decline of the all-round defense in one fell swoop, Guan Yi's contribution is not small, which can be regarded as an affirmation of his achievements.

Subsequently, Liu Chan was again comforted, and then issued an order to reward the three armies, instructed the people of Shuzhong, and at the same time reported to the Sword Pavilion, so that Jiang Wei and others would stick to the help. As for the general Tian Xu, in order to win the hearts of the people, Liu Chan issued a decree to make him the general of Yingyang, the Marquis of Dongting, and kept it for the imperial court.

Guan Yi took the opportunity to make a proposal to Liu Chan and put forward a request to lead his troops north to join Jiang Wei in the Sword Pavilion to recover the lost territory in Hanzhong.

Taking advantage of the situation with the victorious army to attack the Wei soldiers and recover the lost territory in Hanzhong, Liu Chan naturally agreed to Guan Yi's request without hesitation, and ordered Guan Yi to lead 10,000 Yu Lin Wei to set off on an auspicious day to assist Jiang Wei in recovering the lost territory in Hanzhong.

After all the things were completed, Liu Chan ordered the Taiguan to hold a feast, and together with the ministers, he celebrated the great victory of Jiangyoushu. Guan Yi naturally knew that in the name of celebrating the victory of Jiangyoushu, it was actually Liu Chan who was showing his favor to his ministers, although he had already prepared in his heart, but he still had to show a sincere and fearful humility on his face.

As the saying goes, officialdom is like a battlefield. Guan Yi had already learned the open and secret battles in the officialdom as early as when he first came to this era, although it seemed to be peaceful on the surface, but there were many factions inside, and the undercurrents were surging, killing every step, and if he was not careful, he would be crushed. At the beginning, if it weren't for seeing through the sinister nature of officialdom, Guan Yi would not have chosen to leave the imperial court, and went all the way to the mountains of Zitong County to form his own blood guard.

What's more, at this time, the Han court was almost rotten to the bones from head to tail. Not to mention, if he hadn't defeated Deng Ai under Jiang You's army, Liu Chan would have surrendered to the Wei army at this moment at the instigation of the main surrender faction dominated by Qian Zhou.

Of course, the reason why Guan Yi looked at this issue in this way was that although he was disgusted with Qian Zhou and others to persuade Liu Chan to surrender without a fight, it was not to put the responsibility for the Han Dynasty's demise on the heads of Qian Zhou and others.

In fact, the Han Dynasty began with Liu Chan, and when the Wei army attacked Shu on three routes, the people's hearts were panicked, and the army's spirit was scattered, and there were tens of thousands of Yulin guards in the city, but no one was available and no generals could be sent. From the perspective of the internal environment of the Han Dynasty, the Yizhou Shi clan faction has gradually become the mainstream force of the Han Dynasty since Chen Yi, although Huang Hao is powerful, but after all, it belongs to foreign forces, and few people in the Yizhou Shi clan faction are willing to form an alliance with them, not to mention that he is only a eunuch in the inner palace, and he is disliked by righteous people.

Therefore, Qian Zhou's opinion of advocating the surrender of Wei at that time just reflected the ordinary mood of the Yizhou Shi faction, and in the hearts of these people who inherited their origin and bloodline, the Han Dynasty was originally a foreign regime, and this foreign regime for decades had brought them nothing but disasters. Therefore, the idea of Zhou Zhou's surrender to Wei naturally won their general support. In other words, although the fall of the Han Dynasty was due to the fact that the Zhou and Yizhou Shi factions unanimously encouraged Liu Chan to surrender, the Zhou Dynasty was definitely not the root cause of the Han Dynasty's demise.

What's more, Qian Zhou is just a scholar, a Confucian scholar and a historian, when Emperor Zhaolie was alive and Zhuge Wuhou was in power, he was only a scholar who educated people and educated people, and rarely participated in court affairs. After Liu Chan ascended the throne, Qian Zhou was first elected as the prince's family order, and then transferred to the Zhongsan doctor, and soon because of his outspoken advice to Liu Chan to respect the virtuous and talented, and to cultivate internal affairs, Liu Chan was disgusted and moved to a high status, but there was a nominal Guanglu doctor, far away from the political center. However, at the last critical juncture of the Han court, Liu Chan let a scholar who did not understand politics and military affairs participate in political affairs, which was an extremely absurd decision in itself.

The banquet was very lively under the personal auspices of Liu Chan, a scene of singing and dancing, and the ministers were also humble and harmonious, and they were courteous. Guan Yi had a smile on his face, coping with the praise and praise of the monarchs and ministers, including Liu Chan, as if he didn't notice the eyes mixed with envy, jealousy, and hatred that glanced at him from time to time between the feasts.

This feast lasted for nearly two hours from the morning, and after the monarchs and ministers had enjoyed themselves, it was already sunset when Guan Yi, who had vain steps, returned to the mansion.

Through the thin sunset, the two words "Guanfu" on the gate are still vigorous and powerful, as if reminding people that the Guan family soldiers were bloody in the field and made great contributions to the Han Dynasty.

Four years ago, when his eldest brother Guan Tong died of illness, except for the third uncle Guan Suo and the fourth aunt Guan Yinping in the southwest border of Yuanzhen, the Guan family in Chengdu was left with only their own bloodline. Although he inherited the title of Marquis of Hanshouting, he had to admit that since his father Guan Xing died of illness, the Guan family has been far from the glory and glory of the past, even if the eldest brother Guan Tong married the heir's daughter Princess Pingyang, it could not change the fate of the Guan family's gradual decline.

Guan Yi knew very well in his heart that the Guan family was able to marry the royal family, which was more of a political means of entrapment after the imperial court appeased and took care of the heroes. In today's Han court, since Zhuge Wuhou, Jiang Wan, and Fei Yi, the advantages of the Zhaolie Emperor's patriarchal faction and the Jingxiangshi faction have basically been lost, and they have been replaced by the rise and control of the local faction in Yizhou.

Liu Chan as the emperor, although he has done little, but he is not a stupid person, from the Zhaolie Emperor when Zhuge Wuhou was in power and Jingxiang, Yizhou Shi clan competition, to the current Yizhou native lineage, but also let the Liu royal family realize the potential huge threat to the control of the regime, is the royal marriage policy has also undergone certain changes, such as the heir has accepted one of the three heroes of the Han Dynasty The eldest daughter of the chariot general Zhang Fei is the queen, the second daughter is the noble, Zhuge Zhan and the eldest brother Guan Tong have married the daughter of the heir as his wife, All show that the Liu royal family also wants to break the imbalance of interests and factions in the imperial court.

However, with the increasing popularity of the Han court, the political envelopment function of the imperial court has gradually weakened. That is to say, the marriage methods adopted by the Liu royal family against the Hakka faction in Yizhou have tended to be marginalized, just like the eldest brother Guan Tong marrying Princess Pingyang as his wife, which is more of a reflection of the court's care and praise for the founding heroes, although it has also been exchanged for a certain political return, but in fact there is not much practical political significance.

In the eyes of the local scholars of Yizhou, although Guan Yi's current qualifications cannot break the control of the local scholars of Yizhou on the Han Dynasty, this is by no means good news from the point of view of the heir's unsparing reward for Guan Yi today.

After all, Guan Yi is a descendant of the patriarchal line, and his grandfather Yun Changgong is one of the founding ministers of the Han Dynasty. Although Guan Yi is only Guan Xing's concubine, he is currently the only bloodline of the Guan family in Chengdu, and in addition to inheriting the title of Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, it does not affect his extremely honorable status.

Of course, Guan Yi has not yet been able to fully see the influence and changes he has brought to the Han court. Like most of the important ministers of the imperial court, no one knows what kind of changes this weak-crowned young man who suddenly appeared can bring to the Han court, which is already in the twilight.

Inside the gate, everything is as if nothing has changed since I left. When the eldest brother was alive, Guan Yi had been living in a house with him, and most of his subordinates and family members lived outside the city because of their daily affairs. After the death of the eldest brother, because there were no heirs, Princess Pingyang was taken back to the palace by the heir to live.

When Guan Yi came back, he only brought Ehu and eighteen horsemen to the personal blood guards, and the rest of the blood guards were all released to their families to reunite with their relatives, and all the rest followed Chen Lie and were stationed at the Yulinwei camp at the North Gate School to rest and wait. Chen Lie had no place to go because his clan was scattered, so he was in line with his intentions.

After entering the door, Guan Yi immediately threw off Ehu's support and instructed Ehu to rearrange the wine and serve food to celebrate the achievement. E Hu was stunned, although he was not qualified to participate in the banquet, he immediately understood that Guan Yi was just a false snake during the banquet just now, and then happily arranged for people to serve wine and food.

This time, the class teacher returned to Chengdu, and Ehu was also exempted from the previous murder and death penalty because of his merits, and he was transferred to Guan Yi's account, which really made him dance happily. Guan Yi and him have been together for a few years, although they are nominally master and servant, but in fact, they are like brothers living and dying together. Naturally, I could feel his joy, and I was happy to have two drinks with him at the royal banquet before.

After three rounds of drinking, the old servant who guarded the door suddenly came to report, and Wuxiang Marquis Zhuge Zhan came to visit.

When Guan Yi heard the news, he was stunned and said, "Why is he here?" ”

At this time, it was already the time to hold the lamp, and Zhuge Zhan came to visit in person at this time, which really surprised Guan Yi. He had met Zhuge Zhan several times before, and he had the impression that Zhuge Zhan knew etiquette and guarded the way of monarchs and ministers, and was a decent gentleman who was quite elegant and personable.

"Hurry up, please!" Zhuge Zhanguan bowed to the guard, led the general, and was the horse of the court, he personally came to visit, Guan Yi did not dare to have the slightest support, and hurriedly led Ehu and others out to greet him.
