In the end, under the persuasion of Jiang Gan, Lü Bu was forced to retreat to the five counties of Liangzhou, and was named the "King of the Western Regions" by Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao did not transfer the five counties of the old Liang Kingdom to Cao Ang, Lu Bu's son-in-law, and Cao Ang was still the king of Yuzhong - the Yuzhong of the Golden City, the warriors of Hanyang, the Yuanwei of Wuwei, Yuyin, and Zuli, and the land of the five counties was Yuzhong.

Most of the courtiers of Liangguo who originally stayed in Liangzhou were unwilling to go to the Western Regions to obey Lu Bu, but chose to stay in Guannei - Yang Fu changed from the "great minister" of Liangguo to Yuguo Fu. Jiang Ziyi deserves it, and from then on he will be the rightful king of the Western Regions.

Of course, Lu Bu has a false name and loses his truth...... In fact, it can be regarded as a "virtual land", plus the son-in-law can't be the crown prince, so he will suffer a big loss in theory. Fortunately, Shi Xun had already paid him back through letters, and Cao Wei promised to fund Lu Butie with 10,000 catties, 1 million in money, 3 million in grain, and 7,000 prisoners and exiles to support his war against Wusun.

The crown prince is easy, and Cao Cao is an edict and orders the sons to seal the kingdom of kings. In fact, there were only four kings at that time, namely Cao Ang, the king of Yuzhong, Cao Zhang, the king of Rencheng, Cao Zhi, the king of Juancheng, and Cao Chong, the king of Liyang, all of whom were county kings, and the rest of the sons were all county princes. The main princes have certain inheritance qualifications, and if they continue to stay in the capital, they are afraid that they will befriend the courtiers and pose a threat to the throne, so the ministers are all admonished to make their country. And the county princes are all concubines, and they have no reputation, there is no threat to stay in Luoyang temporarily, the courtiers don't say much, and Cao Cao doesn't have such a thing - the emperor is old after all, and he still hopes that a few sons will stay by his side, and the ministers are also very sensitive. Refuse to deliberately touch the moldy head.

Cao Zhang before leaving. Entertain friends and friends. As a farewell, Fu Nature was also invited-Cao Ziwen is very broad-minded, in other words, he has no heart...... is still with himself, but he is bound by his father is Xun and the princess's wife, and he can't often interact with himself, so the meeting is becoming more and more rare. It's the return of the re-drinking feast, and I can't help but sigh in front of my father. Say:

"Now that he is the king of the city, he doesn't care much about the storage position, but he is willing to gallop on the battlefield and kill the enemy. Once the kingdom is like a bird in a cage, its wings are not comfortable, but it is in tears at the feast...... Seeing it makes people compassionate. ”

Yes Xun said that I still cheated on him with you, and persuaded me to kill people at every turn, my heart is very hard, and I dare to love you kid also has compassion. The current comfort is replied: "For the safety of the storage position." I have to hear it. After the capture of His Majesty, the crown prince ascended the throne. "If Cao Cao still has the same lifespan as in the original history, then there will be about five or six years, and then Cao Rong will be close to adulthood, if there are no twists and turns, he will naturally be established as the crown prince-" The inheritance is stable, the country is safe, and the king of the city may have a day of resurrection....... ”

Of course, this is just lip service, with Cao Pi's temperament in the original history, he was deeply jealous of his brother, and Cao Zhang may also be confined to the closed country for a lifetime, and there will be no chance to gallop on the field. It is said that the so-called Cao Zhang was poisoned to death by Cao Pi in the jujube in "The World Says New Words", although the novelist said, but Cao Ziwen did die young, and died unexplained (tyranny), I don't know if he was lucky to get a sudden illness, or a pure heart disease that is difficult to treat, or he was really poisoned by his brother Cao Pi......

Then the next day, Zhou Budo came to the door to ask for his resignation.

Zhou Budo studied under Shixun for five years, or just married his wife two years ago and moved out alone. The little guy's thinking used to be very twisted, he was simply a rebel of etiquette, and it took a lot of effort for Xun and Guan Jing to barely pull his head. It is Xun who educated him: "The law is issued because of the customs, and the rites are made according to the world, so the Zhou rites have profits and losses in Xia and Yin, and now they are called rites, and they are not exactly the same as the Zhou Dynasty." Yuan Zhi thought, the world of Datong, is not to be made of those who can not be made also, if you want to use this ceremony to say that the soup, Tang Guren, will also be the eyes of the mad. ”

Not to mention anything else, the history books say that Tang is benevolent, and even catching birds has to "open the net on three sides", but the Yin Dynasty's example of using people to die today seems to be a great unkind act. If you travel to the Shang Dynasty and tell Cheng Tang that you should replace it with figurines, or even tie grass instead, he will definitely think that you don't respect your ancestors and talk about chaos, so you have to cut off your little head.

Even Xun briefly revealed some concepts of later generations to Zhou Budo, such as "democracy" - "As Qing said, life may be virtuous and foolish, but there is no dignity or inferiority. The reason for this is that it is not available today. It is necessary for all the people to be taught and learned, and everyone can be respectful, so that they can jointly preside over the affairs of the state. Xi Yao raised Shun, but he was not consulted all over the ministers, but the people? If the scholars jointly promote their kings, their officials, and exercise the right to depose, then the king dares to violate his ministers, and the officials dare to harm his people? ”

Zhou Budo's eyes lit up, will there really be such a day? Yeshoon said that theoretically, of course, there would be a day, but we wouldn't see it—anyway, he hadn't really seen it before he crossed over......

"People in ancient times, slash and burn, and even scavenging oysters to live, lived no more than thirty, how dare they want to be the lord of the world?" Don't believe it, go to a remote place to see, the common people are still living so hard - "Today may be able to get oxen and plough, iron and plow, if the official is thin, the landlord is benevolent, barely satisfied, and there is more than enough." Life is worry-free, it is reasonable, and the family has a surplus of property, but it is possible to study. The brief books of the past are valuable, and they rely on human copying, and those who are not rich cannot read them; Today, the book is on paper, its value is cheap, and the power of printing, a hundred times the copy, the small rich are not rare and ......, "so I repeatedly emphasize that society is developing, human beings are progressing, as long as we move towards the goal of Datong, there will always be a day to arrive."

It's just - "The mountains are ahead, the eyes seem to be near, and the line is far away." Although it is not possible to use it far away, but it is good to be high, but it is far away, and he who does not see his foot will be overturned. Yuan Zhi is like a car overturned, but carelessly? "Ideal is ideal, reality is reality, your mind is only ideal, without considering the reality, you will sooner or later make a big mistake!

Therefore, under the lesson of Shi Xun, Zhou Budo's daily words and deeds have been somewhat restrained - at least Cao Cao has not thought about killing this madman, he has lived much longer than in the original history. It's just that the country is easy to change, and his nature is difficult to change, and it is almost impossible to knead him Zhou Yuanzhi into a usable talent. Shi Xun sometimes feels that the reason why Zhou is not suspicious of being an apprentice may be just to facilitate the confession of some ideas that are too advanced, unlike his own acceptance of Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and others, there is no utilitarianism at all - and there is no utilitarianism at all.

Since Zhou Budo is this kind of endowment, he has never asked for an official, anyway, with his uncle Liu Xian and the teacher Shixun taking care of him, he will not starve to death, and he will help Shixun sort out some manuscripts or review some book samples every day. But this time, I suddenly came to the door and said goodbye to Xiang Shixun, saying that I was going to go out to be an official.

It turned out that Zhou Budo's good friend, Cao Chong, the king of Liyang, found him and persuaded him to follow his country. According to the Cao Wei official system, the first subordinate of the princes and kings is Fu, and the lord "guides the king to be kind, courteous as a teacher, and not a minister"; the second is the phase, which is to carry out the duties of the county guard or county order; the third is the long history, which is the deputy of the national minister; The departments under it are not much different from ordinary counties. However, on this basis, there is also an additional "Zongzheng", who is responsible for the sacrifices of the vassal states, and an additional "Shaofu", which is equivalent to the butler of the princes, and there is no quota to appoint multiple "doctors" to assist in handling the family affairs of the monarch - these three positions are not appointed by the imperial court, and the princes can choose their own.

So Cao Chong found Zhou Budo and said that once I am in the country, it will be no different from exile, I am afraid that there are few acquaintances around me, it is too lonely and lonely - or Yuan Zhi, you can go with me, Ren is a doctor, and you don't have to worry about anything, as long as you can accompany me, it is enough.

Cao Chong's appearance was pitiful, and Zhou Bu was soft-hearted and couldn't bear to refuse, so he came to find Shi Xun to quit the line. It was Xun who pondered for a long time, saying that it was not a bad thing that you wanted to leave the capital, but-"The king of Liyang is very intelligent, and he may not be the one who has been in peace with the country for a long time." "The words are very vague, and the real meaning is: Cao Xiaoxiang is too smart, and his ambition is not small, I am afraid that sooner or later he will be planted on his share of cleverness.

Cao Chong once secretly fought for the storage position, Zhou Budo knew it, and he also heard some rumors about him trapping the late prince Cao Ang, so he immediately understood the meaning of Xun's words. Zhou Budo arched his hand and said: "Mr. Xie taught, I should advise the King of Liyang, that is, for the safety of the society, but also for the will of self-bending." "It's Xunxin who said that you really may not be able to persuade Cao Xiaoxiang, and your temperament is too upright, I'm afraid that sooner or later you will be planted on a good friend...... But forget it, everyone has their own ambitions, you can't force it, you can go if you want, just remember my entrustment.

After the kingdom of kings, the political situation gradually became stable, so the huge state apparatus began to move in all directions for the conquest of Liu Bei in Shuzhong - Zhuge Liang, who was actually in charge of half of the military department, was tired to death, and simply obtained the approval of Shi Xun, and then asked Cao Cao to play, and pulled Shi Fu into the military department to help him.

According to the plan, the troops were divided into three ways to defeat Shu Han - not including the stabbing in the back of Nanzhong Yonghong and others.

The first road is in Yongzhou, with Zhu Guo Xiahou Dun as the governor, Yongzhou Thorn Shi Liang Xi as the supervising army, sitting in Chang'an, supervising Zhang He, Xu Huang, Le Jin, Lu Zhao and other generals, and Fu Feng Taishou Wang Xiong, Feng Yi Taishou Manzhong, Guanzhong Taishou Sima Fu, etc., seek to take Hanzhong from the south of Luo, Bao Xian.

The second road is in Liangzhou, with Cao Hong as the governor of the auxiliary state, Zhang Ji as the supervisor of the Liangzhou Assassin Shi, sitting in Ji County, supervising Yu Ban, Yan Xing, Fei Yao and other generals, and Longxi Taishou Su Ze, Hanyang Taishou Jiang Xu, etc., seeking to capture the military capital.

The third road is in Jingzhou, with the auxiliary state Cao Ren as the governor, Lu Su as the governor of the navy, and Jingzhou Assassin Jia Kui (Jia Qu renamed) as the supervising army, sitting in Zigui, Du Zangba, Sun Guan, Niu Jin and other generals, and Nanjun Taishou Jiang Ji, along the river, to Bazhong.

The plan was to advance in three ways in September and October, so that Liu Bei would be difficult to take care of. Of course, these three roads are both virtual and real, the main force is in the hands of Xiahoudun, and the capture of Hanzhong is the key to the battle - as for whether it can enter Sanba smoothly and be flanked by the two armies on the northern route, it depends on a certain amount of luck.

But who would have thought that the generals and grain and grass materials were being transported to three places one after another, and the preparations for the battle were in full swing, and in July of that year, suddenly Xiahoudun returned to Luoyang from Chang'an...... (To be continued......)
