Pang Tong has already planned a grand blueprint for Liu Bei.

In fact, after Liu Bei came to Jiangxia, although he has always been very responsible and low-key, he is secretly accumulating strength. He may not have heard of the phrase "accumulating grain" and slowly calling him king, but Liu Bei knows the truth. He had countless incidents before, but because of the unstable foundation, he was quickly defeated, and then he wandered around like a lost dog, which can be described as a wolf.

In the end, it's because he doesn't have a solid foundation.

After coming to Jingzhou, especially after recruiting Pang Tong Ma Liang, Liu Bei changed his previous style and was very low-key.

But secretly, his movements never stopped.

befriended Liu Xian, a Lingling man, and then recruited people from the Kou clan in Changsha.

Don't look at Liu Bei and now he is in Jiangxia, but in fact, his tentacles have extended to Jingnan.

Wuxi Man?

Liu Bei found that Pang Tong had provided him with an astonishing number of soldiers. Wuxi Man, refers to the Eastern Han Dynasty, distributed in Jingnan and Bashu region of the general name of ethnic minorities, engaged in agriculture, famous for dyeing and weaving. During the Western Han Dynasty, the imperial court established Wuling County, and after Guangwu, the barbarians were particularly prosperous. This Wuxi Man has a lot of roots with the Tujia, Miao, Yao, Dong and other ethnic minorities in later generations, and is named after the five streams.

Jingnan Wuxi Man, gathering hundreds of thousands of people.

And Liu Biao has always respected the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty and suppressed Wuxi a lot.

If Liu Bei can recruit Wuxi Man, he will have 100,000 elite soldiers in his hands......

Previously, Liu Bei, under the persuasion of Chen Deng Pangtong, had had preliminary contact with Wuxi Man. According to Pang Tong's current statement, it is for him to increase his efforts to win over Wuximan. With Changsha Kou and Lingling Liu Xian secretly helping each other, it is not difficult to think about it.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei nodded slightly.

He turned his head to look at Ma Liang, "Ji Chang, the matter of Wuxi Man is entrusted to you, and I ask you to bother more." ”

Ma Liang is a native of Jingzhou, not from a family background, but he is talented.

He smiled slightly, "Don't worry, the lord has sent someone to Wuling, and I should go there in person in a few days, and I will definitely lobby for the lord general Wuxi Man." ”

Jingnan, and then Bashu......

Liu Bei closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and his face showed a touch of pride.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In February of the tenth year of Jian'an, Liu Chuang has been in the month for more than a month.

With the passage of time, he has basically mastered the form of Xu Du. Emperor Han still did not give an answer on whether to give Liu Chuang the title of king. However, Liu Chuang's subordinates have already created momentum, and the next step is to promote the restoration of power.

This is also Liu Chuang's most important position, if he gets the position of prime minister, he can be justified and command the world.

At the same time, the relocation of the capital is also in full swing, and the repair work of the Luoyang Imperial City has also come to an end. Next, as long as there is a suitable reason and a suitable opportunity, Liu Chuang will officially promote the relocation of the capital and move the imperial court back to Luoyang.

This matter is in a hurry!

Liu Chuang knew the truth that 'you can't eat hot steamed buns in a hurry', so he didn't urge Sima Fang.

However, while controlling the court, Liu Chuang also strengthened his control over the Han Emperor. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Liu Chuang replaced nearly one-third of the servants in Anle Palace under the pretext that the inner servants in the imperial city were negligent in management and had character problems. In this way, the space of the Han Emperor in the imperial city was further compressed, even if he spoke in the Anle Palace, he had to be cautious, for fear that he would leak his mouth and cause accidents.

"Huang Ge is now too powerful.

Zhongda supported it alone, which was inevitably too tiring. ”

Cao Ying's Sikong Mansion has now been renamed the Great General's Mansion.

Liu Chuang found Sima Fang in the study and said softly: "Uncle, Zhongda is a great talent, I want to use it greatly."

It's just that in order to conceal my relationship with my uncle, I had to let him preside over the Yellow Pavilion. Today, the eyes and ears of the Yellow Pavilion are all over Kyushu, and its institutions are too large. You need to know that manpower is sometimes poor, and now that I am in charge of the center, the affairs of the Yellow Pavilion will inevitably be even busier. Zhong Da is alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold it, so I am going to divide the Yellow Pavilion into three, and Zhong Da will only be responsible for enemy intelligence from now on, what does my uncle think? ”

Sima Fang didn't have any displeasure, but clapped his hands in approval.

Indeed, the Yellow Pavilion has great power and heavy tasks, but after all, it is an institution hidden behind the scenes, and it cannot be brought to the table.

If Sima Yi is allowed to continue to be in charge of the entire Yellow Pavilion, then Sima Yi's future achievements will be limited. Sima Fang hoped that Sima Yi would be able to enter the prime minister in the future, rather than as Liu Chuang's intelligence leader. Dividing the Yellow Pavilion into three, and Sima Yi only controlling part of it, was definitely a good thing for Sima Yi. Perhaps the power will be weakened, but the achievements will be greater in the future.

Moreover, the strength of the Yellow Pavilion is indeed too strong now.

The Yellow Pavilion is divided into Kyushu chronicles, and there are more than 100,000 people under its jurisdiction.

Such a huge institution, if it is divided separately, is almost the strength of one of the princes. If it is in the hands of one person all the time, it is indeed a very dangerous thing. No matter how loyal Sima Yi is, if he keeps the Huang Pavilion in his hands, I am afraid that the final outcome will be very bleak. It is good to divide it, Sima Fang feels that this is also Liu Chuang's protection of Sima Yi.

"But I don't know how the lord wants to divide the Yellow Pavilion?"

Liu Chuang thought for a while, "I plan to divide the Yellow Pavilion into three parts, the spearman battalion and the swordsman battalion are still under my personal control, and the rest of the institutions are divided into internal and external ministries. Zhongda is specifically responsible for enemy intelligence, and it is still called Huangge to the outside world; Internally, it is the internal ministry, and I want to arrange Jia Xu to be in charge. Jia Wen and this man are delicate, and they are the most suitable people to take on the position of this ministry. ”

Let Jia Xu take on the ministry?

Although Liu Chuang did not explain the functions of the internal ministry, Sima Fang could guess that this was an internal supervision body.

In this position, it is Liu Chuang's eyes and ears to say that it sounds good, and it is an errand to offend people if it is not good.

In terms of power, there is no doubt that the power of the ministry is greater. But if Sima Yi is to take responsibility, there will be few enemies all over the world. In contrast, Jia Xu is indeed the most suitable for this position. He was not Liu Chuang's subordinate in the first place, and in Cao Ying's camp, he also served later. After Cao Ying's death, Jia Xu was the first to take refuge in him, which also made many people loyal to the Cao family feel disdainful. Such a person who does not have too deep relationships on both sides, but has outstanding talents, is also the best candidate for this position. And when Sima Fang appreciated it the most, Liu Chuang dragged Sima Yi out of the complicated affairs of the Yellow Pavilion, which also showed that Liu Chuang attached great importance to Sima Yi.

Now, Zhuge Liang has become Jing Zhaoyin, and his status in the future will inevitably be good.

And Sima Yi is probably the most powerful weapon that Liu Chuang pulled out to balance Zhuge Liang.

Sima Fang said: "This matter, the lord only needs to arrange it, and I will explain it to Zhongda on his side." ”

Liu Chuang was also relieved to see Sima Fang agree.

To be honest, the reason why he wanted to divide the Yellow Pavilion was that on the one hand, he wanted to drag Sima Yi out of the complicated affairs of the Yellow Pavilion and let him have a bigger stage, and the other reason was that the power of the Yellow Pavilion was too great. In other words, Sima Yi's power is too great! I think that when he founded the Yellow Pavilion, he just wanted to have an intelligence agency to the outside world. But with his rapid rise, the Yellow Pavilion also expanded rapidly. Compared with the scale of the Yellow Pavilion when it was first built, today's Yellow Pavilion covers all aspects. Such a large institution, completely in the hands of one person, for Liu Chuang, after all, he can't rest assured. Therefore, he must divide the Huang Pavilion and reduce Sima Yi's power. Otherwise, he would probably be suspicious of Sima Yi in the end.

Not to mention anything else, Sima Yi has a record of usurpation of power in history.

If this goes on for a long time, Liu Chuang can't guarantee that he will not kill Sima Yi because of this.

This is his cousin, who followed him in his most difficult time, and in the wind and rain for six years, he was born and died for Liu Chuang.

Liu Chuang is an extremely ruthless person in his bones.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't have family affection...... He really didn't want to sacrifice a butcher's knife to Sima Yi at the end.

It's just that he doesn't know what to say.

Sima Yi finally pulled out such a big stall, he said that the division would be divided, and I am afraid that no one would be too happy.

So Liu Chuang first found Sima Fang to discuss this matter, if Sima Fang did not object, then the matter would be halfway.

"Uncle knows everything, and I can rest assured."

Sima Fang smiled, but his words suddenly changed, "Meng Yan, I have one thing and I want to ask you for help." ”

"Uncle, please speak."

"Zhongda got married in Youzhou, which was really a bit unexpected to me.

To be honest, I didn't expect you to grow so quickly...... When Zhong was fifteen, I had set a family affair for him, and he was the daughter of the Zhang family of the Luoyang Wang clan. I was going to marry them in a few years, but you didn't know how ......

Previously, I had an incident in Luoyang, and the Zhang family also gave me a lot of help.

Now that people have come to the door and talked about this family matter, I have a little difficulty handling it. If Zhong Da marries a concubine, I won't care if I can't say it. But he ...... The Zhang family girl and his relatives were earlier, so they should be the main room. You'll have to help me solve this problem. ”

Liu Chuang thought it was something at first, but he didn't expect it to be Sima Yi's family affair.

It was also the first time he had heard that Sima Yi had married at the age of fifteen...... If this is the case, he and Guo Huan will marry in the first place, and they will marry in the name of the main family, and the status of Zhang's daughter will become embarrassing. Liu Chuang took a breath of cool air, smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Uncle, it's hard for this Qing official to decide family affairs......"

"Hehe, Zhong Da and Guo's daughter's family affairs are handled by you, so this matter has to be solved by you."

Sima Fang looked at Liu Chuang with a relaxed look on his face and said.

Liu Chuang thought about it, and could only reluctantly agree.

However, he was also quite curious, so he asked, "Uncle, what is the name of the woman who set up for Zhongda in your early years?" ”

"Oh, her name is Zhang Chunhua, she is the daughter of the Zhang family in Luoyang, she is quite virtuous and knowledgeable."

Luoyang Zhang's family is indeed a big power in Luoyang.

Perhaps in terms of background, the Zhang family is not a big family, but the strength of the family is quite strong. The Zhang family was also one of the few Haoqiang who did not leave Luoyang when Dong Zhuo moved the capital...... However, Zhang Chunhua? Liu Chuang felt that this name seemed a little familiar.

Thinking about it again, isn't this Chunhua the original match of Sima Yi in history?

Thinking of this, Liu Chuang couldn't help but laugh...... (To be continued.) )
