Chapter 57: The Idea of a Foregone Conclusion

Ren An and Zhou Qun did not move in Jiangyang, Jia Long took Linjiang to counterattack Jiangzhou for many days, Gan Hu father and son and Yan Yan got the support of Du Wei in time, 4,000 defenders Shundeyang can go down to Jiangzhou in a few days, Jia Long retreated to Linjiang, with Yongan as the base camp. Liu Yan couldn't afford to fall ill, so Liu Fan recalled the 10,000 troops in the south of Shu County to Qianwei, and took the 3,000 men and horses who fled back from Chengdu to garrison Qianwei with the Minjiang River as the defensive line.

"Lord, what should Brother Ziqiao do?" After Zhang Su fell ill and Liu Fan fled west, he was captured by Chen Lin, and for several days, even Zhang Song was embarrassed to ask, at this time seeing that things in Chengdu had settled down, Jia Xu thought that it was time to start dealing with these captives, and there were many family members of Liu Yan's subordinates in Chengdu. Chen Lin saw that there were only guards such as Huang Yan and Zhou Cang in the hall, and this was Jia Xu, although Zhang Song and Fa Zheng were slowly being reused by Chen Lin now, Jia Xu was still the closest person to Chen Lin. Chen Lin said: "Zhang Junqiao's situation is special, let it go back, just don't let him out of Chengdu City, it can be regarded as selling Ziqiao's affection, and then Wenhe should often persuade this person with Ziqiao to see if he can be used by me." "Jia Xu should be that Zhang Su has Zhang Song's brother, and such an ending is very normal.

"Then the lord, there are still more than a dozen family members of the state pastor in the city, what is the lord going to do?" Chen Lin: "This can't be put down, take care of all the immediate family members of all enemy generals, choose a compound and a mansion for them to live in, eat and drink well, and let them write letters to their relatives who are still in Qianwei, even if these people can't be allowed to defect, so that Qianwei doesn't dare to reuse these people." Remember, the relatives of those enemy leaders must send a large army to watch them, and choose a larger house to live with them, so that it is more convenient to guard. ”

Jia Xu had to obey Chen Lin's approach, and in the war in Chengdu, Chen Lin and Han's army captured many family members of Liu Yan's subordinates, and they were stewed in a pot in Chengdu. At this time, Chen Lin looked at these family members, and every once in a while, he asked these family members to write letters to persuade them to surrender to Liu Yan, even if these people did not surrender, it would make Liu Yan suspicious and suspicious, poisonous.

After Chen Lin finished speaking, he walked to the map on the case and looked at it, and said, "Wenhe, in your opinion, what will be the situation in Shuzhong in the future?" Jia Xu smiled, now the biggest one in Shu is Chen Lin, Liu Yan retreated in Qianwei, and there was almost no chance. Jia Xu: "My lord, it can be seen from the letter from Du Taishou in Jiangzhou that this time Mr. Ren and Mr. Zhou in Jiangyang did not send troops to attack Jiangzhou with Jia Qiande, so it can be seen that the news of Jia Qiande's disagreement with the two gentlemen and the majority of the clans in Shuzhong is not necessarily groundless. My lord, I advocate that the two gentlemen descend, as long as you don't need to use the sword, why not give it a try. There is also Jia Qiande has now led about 20,000 soldiers and horses to guard Yong'an, Kuiguan is the biggest obstacle for our army, but Jia Qiande is becoming more and more unpopular, can not become a danger to our army, as long as our army can say that the two gentlemen, pacify the Qianwei county of the state pastor, Jia Qiande will not be a scourge outside. Liu Zhoumu is said to have fallen ill, and now the county affairs are all handled by the eldest prince, and there are few villains in Qianwei, so he has no action. Xu is just afraid that the eldest prince will say that he will move the western Qingqiang and unite the Qingqiang again, which is a problem. In addition, there is another thing I want to ask the lord, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

Chen Lin said with a smile: "Wenhe, don't have anything to do with a certain seller, just say, you and I only see what else can't be said." Jia Xu smiled, and his heart was still slightly moved, but Jia Xu rarely showed his thoughts, even in front of Chen Lin. said: "Lord, if there is no accident, within three months, or half a year, the lord wants to use Shuzhong as the place of governance or Hanzhong, and I hope the lord will think clearly." "It is equivalent to the same principle as the national capital, in the future, if Chen Lin's territory is as big as Chen Lin, if he wins the entire Yizhou, the north and south will run for nearly two thousand miles, not to mention that the newly established Shangyong County is far away in Nanyang. The transportation is not very convenient, and it has become a very important matter for the princes to choose a place of governance, which should not only be convenient for management and defense, but also conducive to future attacks, so Jia Xu had to ask.

Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, obviously he hadn't thought about things so far, but since Jia Xu asked, Chen Lin said hesitantly: "Wenhe, a certain is just a small Hanzhong Taishou now, I'm just afraid of ......" The meaning is obvious, although Chen Lin has a large territory, but his identity is Hanzhong's Taishou, although everyone in the world knows that several counties such as Shangyong, Guanghan, Brazil and other counties are now under Chen Lin's orders, but nominally Chen Lin can't do too much.

After listening to this, Jia Xu smiled and said: "Lord, now that Liu Zhou Mu is riddled with diseases, how can he still govern the land of a state, why don't the Lord let Shangyong, Guanghan and Brazil guard the Shangshu Imperial Court, explain the truth, and jointly recommend the Lord as Yizhou Mu. "Liu Yan only has a small key left for the county, what kind of state pastor should he be, just let Xian obediently. The matter of being an official Chen Lin started from the time when he asked Wu Yi and others to be too guarded, but Chen Lin always couldn't wipe off that face when he asked for an official for himself, this time I heard Jia Xu say that he asked Wu Yi and them to help him recommend, then he didn't want to be an official himself, and he felt better, so Chen Lin stopped talking about this identity. turned his head down and thought about Jia Xu's first question, where to work, Shuzhong's territory is much larger than Hanzhong, but Hanzhong is his birthplace, how to choose, Chen Lin couldn't draw a conclusion for a while, why didn't he ask Jia Xu if he had any good suggestions. So Chen Lin said: "That Wen and Ke are willing to analyze, what is the strategy for a certain choice?" ”

As soon as Jia Xu heard it, he knew, so he said: "Yizhou is one of the largest states in the Han Dynasty, but in recent years, natural disasters have occurred frequently, wars have not stopped, and the population has decreased significantly. However, the land of Shu is fertile for thousands of miles, as long as it takes time to recuperate, it will be able to restore its former prosperity, which is a good thing. The Shu Shi clan is deep-rooted, criss-crossed, the relationship is complex, and the governance is very difficult, which is the second inferior of Shudi; However, there are many talents under the lord's account, and the lord's meritocracy will be able to form a force centered on the lord over time, which is the second best of the lord. Shu is barbaric all over the land, often making chaos, consuming resources, not conducive to governance, which is three inferior; The mutual market of the lord of Han has made remarkable achievements, and it has also achieved results in Guanghan and Brazil County, which shows that the mutual market policy can effectively solve the problem of foreign races, and the lord is magnanimous and consistent, and the Yi people will be the same as the Han people, and the Yi people will be brought to their hearts, which is the three advantages. Shu land is thousands of miles long, and the battle line is long, which is four inferior; However, Yizhou is more dangerous than other parts of the world, although Shu is wide, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, only need to hold on to Badong to prevent Jingzhou, Chen Bing is invincible to Nanyang, Xiangyang, and Yangping Pass in the north to guard the old Qin, so our army can also be invincible, this is the four best. ”

Chen Lin listened to it with relish, and Jia Xu's four inferior and four excellent words were reasonable, but Chen Lin said after listening to it: "Hey, Wenhe, you said so much about Shudi, but you didn't say anything about the governance office?" Jia Xu smiled: "Lord, Xu just wants to let the lord understand what kind of place Shu is through these four advantages and four disadvantages, if the lord guards Shu, it will be difficult for others to attack it, but it is not easy for the lord to attack it." Therefore, where the ruling place is determined, it still depends on the ambition of the lord, and the words are all here, and he retires. Jia Xu said that he would leave Chen Lin alone and want to go by himself.

Chen Lin looked helplessly at Jia Xu and went away, this Jia Xu is always so cautious. Chen Lin is not stupid, knowing Jia Xu's worries, Jia Xu is worried that Chen Lin will become an unenterprising person, Chen Li remembered what Grandpa said many years ago, based on Yizhou, so Qin's soldiers are competing in the world. So where is Qin? Therefore, Qin is Xiliang and Sanfu, which is the north of Yangping Pass. And when Jia Xu first took refuge in Chen Lin, he heard about this strategy and agreed very much, but today he didn't say a word. Chen Lin: "Huang Yan, go and invite Ziqiao to come." ”

Zhang Song came after a while: "Meet the lord, I don't know what the lord called?" Chen Lin smiled and said: "Ziqiao, Brother Ru has already been ordered to return to the house, and I hope that Ziqiao will persuade Brother Ling to be willing to contribute to a certain force in the future." Zhang Song was overjoyed, knowing that Zhang Su was worry-free, many of Zhang Su's friends and so on came to beg Zhang Song these days, hoping that Zhang Song would persuade Chen Lin and let Chen Lin let Zhang Su go. But how did Zhang Song get out of his mouth, at this time, when he heard Chen Lin personally say that he would let Zhang Su go home, he was not very excited in his heart, and hurriedly knelt down, Chen Lin felt helped up, and said: "Ziqiao doesn't need to be like this, calling you here today is another matter." ”

Zhang Song was upright and said, "I am willing to be sent by the Lord." Chen Lin then talked about the matter of the governance and asked Zhang Song what his opinion was. Zhang Song must be young and a backward strategist, although he has always been trusted by Chen Lin, but it is far from being as good as Jia Xu, the credit is not enough for Jia Xu, and the trust is not as good as Jia Xu, at the same time Zhang Song is a young man, always expecting to get ahead and make contributions, after listening to Chen Lin's question, he blurted out and said: "Shu should be defended and not attacked, the lord must not be obsessed with Shu and lose his sharpness, Shu can be a granary, but it is by no means the land of the overlord, why not follow the example of Han Gaozu to guard Shu and go north to Qin to go out of the Central Plains." Zhang Song didn't have a tirade like Jia Xu, just a few simple sentences. Zhang Song and Jia Xu are not good things, there is no trace of awe of the Han family in their words, but every time they act, they keep persuading Chen Lin to respect the Han family, these are hypocrites, outright hypocrites.

Chen Lin smiled in his heart and waved his hand to signal Zhang Song to retreat. It can be seen from the words of the two people that Jia Xu is sophisticated, Jia Xu did not tell Chen Lin where to do the treatment is not good, but just analyzed it and let Chen Lin choose by himself. Zhang Song is different, he directly shouted that Shu Di is not good, it will make people decadent, and even let Chen Lin be Han Gaozu, who is Han Gaozu, the founding emperor. Chen Lin is now Hanchen, how did Hanchen become the founding emperor? Zhang Song is still too young.

An hour later, Huang Yan took three orders to remove the hall, one was to order Chen Zhi to enter Shu immediately and serve as the governor of Shu County; The second order was to order the Brazilian Taishou Du Wei to rush to Jiangyang, the purpose of which only Du Wei knew; The third is that Jia Xu picked up the book, stamped it with the Taishou seal of Guanghan and other three counties, said that Liu Yan was no good, and recommended Chen Lin as the governor of Yizhou.

When Chen Lin gave the order, Chang'an was a bloody storm.
