Three hundred and thirty-one clues

Liu Bei's Shu Han group and Wu Wei are not the same, there is only the struggle and union between the Cao royal family, the Hanmen scholar and the family in the Wei State, although the Cao family said that the ancestor was the founding prime minister Cao Shen, but that was the year, in fact, Cao Cao's grandfather Cao Teng was a eunuch (it is worth mentioning that in Chinese history, the eunuch who was officially awarded the title of emperor of the orthodox dynasty is the only one), and his father's Taiwei was also bought, and the Cao family essentially belonged to the wealthy family between the family and the Hanmen. When Cao Cao started, he relied on the power of the wealthy family, whether it was the Cao family, the Xiahou family or the Xu family, they were all local heroes, and then they reused the poor families and the small and medium-sized families who were willing to cooperate to suppress the big families. After Cao Pi became emperor, he promulgated the nine-product Zhongzheng system, and threw himself into the arms of the great family, and now Cao Wei is only the product of the compromise between the family and the Cao family, the Xiahou family and other royal families, but Cao Pi has suppressed the royal family and has broken the balance of power between the two.

The main power struggle within the Wu State was not based on the theme of the Hanmen and the family, but on the region. The Huaisi Group, which is dominated by Zhou Yu, Qiao Ren, Lv Meng and other families, wealthy families, and military generals in the north of the Huaisi River; The Jiangzuo family group is dominated by the four surnames of Wu County and the Huiji families. The entanglement, struggle, and compromise of interests between the two ran through the establishment and development of Dawu. Compared with Cao Wei, Sun Wu's imperial power is undoubtedly strong, but the imperial family did not participate in the struggle between the north and the south, and it seems that it is detached from the outside of things, but it is actually an embarrassing position. From a geographical point of view, the Sun royal family was born in Fuchun, Wu County, and the authentic Jiangzuo is strong; However, from the perspective of interest appeal, the Huaisi Group, which is enterprising in Jiangbei, is understandably the same as the interests of the imperial family.

However, among the Shu Han, the most special, the most groups and the dominant group are also the smallest in strength. The founding of the Shu Han Dynasty was a perfect combination of the original Liu Bei group that entered Shu and the inherent forces in Shu. But it's just that Liu Bei's group was originally also full of factions: first of all, it was the patriarchal faction, that is, the Qingxu faction. They were Liu Bei's conquest of the Yellow Turban, and they began to invest in Liu Bei's command one after another. However, due to the fact that Liu Bei was a nobody, it was not until Tao Qian was the pastor of Xuzhou that a large number of Qingxu scholars came to surrender, and they were also called Qingxu family, and the time of joining was before Liu Bei really made a fortune, so it was the veteran department. The main reason is that Liu Bei came to vote before he arrived in Xinye, and it was related to Zhang Zhao's three powerful generals, Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, and other Wenchen who had a close relationship with Liu Bei. However, due to their general age, although they now hold real power, they will retire from the stage of history in a few years.

Secondly, it is the Jingzhou system, most of which are families, wealthy families and celebrities in the Jingxiang area, who were dissatisfied with Cao Cao's rule before and after the Battle of Chibi, and successively invested under Liu Bei's command. At the same time, it is also the faction that is now in power, starting from Xu Shu, mainly Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, Da Sima Xu Shu, Ma Liang Brothers, Fei Yi, Jiang Wan, Liao Li, Yang Yi, Guo Youzhi, Dong family father and son, etc., all of whom are elites.

And what remains in the end is naturally the inherent power of Shuzhong, but Shuzhong was divided into two small groups in Liu Zhang's time. They were the Guanlong people who followed Liu Yan into Shu and then avoided the war and entered Shu. It is also known as the Dongzhou system, and the local family in Shu. Dongzhou people were quite important in the Liu Yan era, and they were abandoned in the Liu Zhang era. In the end, when Liu Bei entered Shu, he offended the heroes of Shu. Therefore, the Dongzhou system has a lot of scenery. Fa Zheng, Li Yan, Meng Da, Xu Jing and the Ma family (Ma Chao) brothers who joined later all held important positions.

And the local family in Shuzhong has not been very cooperative with Liu Bei, so the strength is also the weakest and the smallest, and there are almost no Zhang Song who is in an important position as an idle Jiuqing, Li Hui, Peng Yi, Zhang Yi, Qian Zhou, Qin Mi, Yang Hong, Zhou Qun, Fei Shi, Ma Zhong There is almost no one in an important position, either he is too guarded or he is someone else's assistant, and he has no real power in a word.

There was such chaos inside Shu Han. Naturally, political struggles are indispensable. On the night of the second day when Xu Shu personally welcomed Zhuge Liang, Chengdu Zhangfu welcomed several unexpected guests.

The lights flickered, and several people in the secret room sat opposite each other, their faces uneasy. At this time, the man who spoke was excited. His short beard was almost wiped off by him.

"Zhuge Villager, he actually wants to drop me to be a captain, and he deceives people too much! Too much deception!! The person who spoke had a strong Jingzhou accent, but he was an out-and-out Dongzhou department, and this person was the lieutenant of Sili and Li Yan, the central capital.

As early as the Liu Zhang period, Li Yan was already a county commander in Chengdu and Fazheng, Zhang Song, Meng Da and other generations had a close past, and today he learned that Zhuge Liang was going to cut his power as soon as he returned to Chengdu, how could he not be angry. He Li Yanke is also one of Liu Bei's assistant ministers, why does Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu of the Jingzhou Department control the military and political power, but he Li Yan can't even get a lieutenant, and he has to be a lieutenant!

Taiwei is one of the three dukes, the status is extremely respectful, theoretically the supreme commander of the national army, but by the end of the Han Dynasty, the three dukes gradually became a vacant position, although the status is respected, but not in real power. Kings often used the position of the Three Princes to commend those who were highly virtuous, or those who had great merit and were old, and then used the position of the Three Princes to deprive those ministers who had meritorious service but were overpowered. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, even if the prime minister does not record Shangshu, he will not be able to manage the real power, and it is too difficult to be a real power captain like Qiao Ren, but even Qiao Ren has such a status and real power because he is also the leader of the army and the general of the army.

It is conceivable that if Li Yan is promoted to the rank of captain, isn't it the bright ascension and secret descent of Chiguoguo? Captain Si Li supervised the Jingshi for the time being, even the Zhongdu Hu is also in charge of the internal and external military positions, just like Qiao Ren's leading general, the only thing that is almost is the qualifications.

"That's not all!" Zhang Yi, the son of Zhang Song's clan who came to the secret meeting on the side, said: "It is said that Zhuge Kongming and they are going to do something to the Ma family brothers, and they want to squeeze Ma Chao to Zitong to deter the Qiang people!" ”

"Humph!! Riotous thieves!! "Zhang Song since Pang Tong was stupid by poisonous wine, Liu Bei didn't want to see him, Jingxiang also regarded him as an enemy, plus his friend Fa Zheng, the leader of the Dongzhou department, died, and the connection between Dongzhou and Yizhou was broken, and now Zhang Song's life is very bad.

"Humph!!" Li Yan snorted coldly, and said with a cold smile: "He Jingzhou people are not monolithic!? ”

"What do you say!!" Hearing this, the uncle and nephew of the Zhang family and Ma Zhong, who was silent on the side, also came over.

"As we all know, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu are the most powerful among the people of Jingzhou, but these two people have been entangled with each other due to the edict of the first emperor, and neither of them is from the Jingzhou family. Although Pang Tong is sick, the Pang family is still there, and although Zhuge Cunfu is a person from Xuzhou, he is also better with Zhao Yun, Mi Zhu and others, and has subdued a group of Jingzhou families with the most powerful forces, but it is precisely because of his huge size that it will cause dissatisfaction among others, as far as I know, Shang Shuling Liao Li contacted Dong He and prepared to take refuge in Xu Shu, and suppressed Zhuge Liang with the help of Xu Shu's identity as the big Sima. ”

To tell the truth, Da Sima's position is listed as a public official, theoretically it is a cut higher than the prime minister, and he can interfere in decision-making even if he does not add Shang Shangshi to political affairs, so he is a good official position to hold the government.

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Ma Zhong, this Ma Zhong is not the one under Dai Gang, but a native of Langzhong, Brazil, whose real name is Hu Du, the word Dexin, only participated in the pacification of the Nanzhong rebellion under Zhuge Liang this year, and now it is the prime minister who has joined the army.

"That's true!"

"Good!!" Zhang Song's ugly face convulsed and said with a smile: "Let's unite with Xu Shu and borrow him a fire!? ”

"How to borrow!"

"Follow the example of the princes of the Warring States and borrow the momentum of the Wu State!"

Hearing Zhang Song's words, Li Yan's heart tightened for no reason, he was also a native of Nanyang, Jingzhou, although he was the leader of the scholars in Dongzhou, but he would not take advantage of the momentum of Wu, which gave Wu an opportunity to interfere in the internal affairs of Shu Han. Today's Shu Han land is no more than Yizhou, and the soldiers are only about 100,000, far less powerful than Wu Guolai, and this is the result that is afraid of attracting wolves into the room.

"How to borrow? Zhuge Villager's eldest brother is an important minister of Wu State, how can we receive the momentum of Wu State? Li Yan finally held back the uneasiness in his heart and asked pretendedly.

"Then it's up to Xu Yuanzhi!" Zhang Song's expression moved slightly, and he said with a smug face. "Come here with your ears!!"

Looking at Zhang Song's smug and distorted ugly face, Li Yan couldn't help but slander, but in the end, he still listened to Zhang Song's plan. (To be continued......)
