Chapter 21, the return of the brocade

In the original history, Cao Cao never usurped the throne throughout his life, and said: "If the destiny of heaven is in me, I am the king of Zhou Wen." ”

There are many reasons, one is that Sun and Liu covet the side, and it is still on the rise - the decline of Shu Han began with the defeat of Liu Bei Yiling; The decline of Sun Wu began with Sun Quan's proclamation as emperor - Cao Cao really did not dare to risk the disapproval of the world and suddenly usurp. Second, he was born in Hanchen after all, and his original ambition was just to end up in the name of "Cao Hou, the general of the Han Dynasty", and the last step was not so easy to break through the psychological barrier and get through.

However, at this time, the power of the Cao family was much stronger than in the original history, Jingzhou had already gained half of it, the Sun family was just surviving, although Liangzhou was still in the hands of Lu Bu, the northeast was flat Gongsun, and the north suppressed Xianbei, which was enough to counteract. is Xun's original idea, when the world is unified, even if Cao Cao can't break through his own defenses, he can't stop his subordinates from giving him a "yellow robe", and there will really be a Wei Wu Emperor, not the one who is posthumously respected by his children and grandchildren.

But after all, the reunification has not been completed at this time, Boss Cao, what are you in a hurry!

Cao Cao was in a hurry, but he was actually seduced by Xun. Originally, the death of Xun Yu and Wang Bi made Cao Cao furious, but Xun also pointed the finger at Liu Xie, so hated that Cao Cao almost wanted to wave a sword and split the little emperor in two. If it were anyone else, even if it was an important minister in the court, Cao Cao would kill him if he said he would kill him, but he couldn't kill the emperor......

In this case, which one is stronger to read novels on mobile phones? Let's tear that guy off the emperor's throne first!

Cao Cao was very depressed, he fought bloodily on the front line, and the Hanchen kept tearing down the corners in the rear. The most hateful and helpless. The better the front is fought. The heavier his own authority, the deeper the Hanchens' sense of distrust and fear of him—a vicious circle! That's why he wants to seal the vassal and establish a state, put aside the imperial court, and set up a base camp alone - it was originally Yecheng in history, but now it is Anyi - you want to mess around in Xudu, whatever you want, you can't shake my foundation anyway.

Of course, it would be naïve to think like that. Xu Du is indeed only left with an empty shelf, and the problem is that there is still a real emperor! In the original history, Geng Ji and others made a mess and killed Wang Bi, and then Guan Yu's Northern Expedition, the striker haunted the suburbs of Xudu, forcing Cao Cao to almost plan to move the capital. If Liu Xie is really useless, he will move all the fart? What if you give him to Guan Yu?

So after this chaos, Cao Cao was sad and angry, and said in his heart that he thought that guy was completely in his hands. I didn't expect there to be a little energy; I thought I could ignore it, but I didn't expect a storm to start a storm if I didn't care. Good. This time, because the emperor was unwilling to be a puppet, he killed Wang Bi and Xun Yu, will there be a next time? Which of my dependents and cronies will be in danger?

Thus diverging from the original history, Cao Cao thought about the matter of Chan Rang in advance (who asked Liu Xie to remind him), and planned to make up his mind to take that crucial last step. But he only revealed a little thought, and he scared all the hardcore fans such as Xi Xian and Shi Xun, and Shi Xun asked him tightly, "Do you have no fraud"? Cao Cao asked rhetorically: "Hongfu thinks that loneliness is not enough?" ”

It was Xun Xin who said that there was nothing "insufficient", if there was a son of heaven to rule the world-of course it would be nonsense to engage in democratic government two thousand years in advance-he thought that only two people had this qualification, one was Cao Cao, the other was Liu Bei, and even Sun Xiaoer was not enough, so he had to stand aside. If the emperor ascends to the throne by election, it must be you Cao Mengde, the number of votes is more than half, the problem is that the emperor is hereditary, and the time is not right, and the sudden change of dynasty can only lead to the dispersion of people's hearts, and will not produce the slightest positive effect.

So he had to advise Cao Cao. Of course, with the wisdom of Xun, it is impossible to say it too straightforwardly, and with a roll of his eyes, simply, let's carry the dead man out: "Xun Gong's testament is Yu Xun, Yundongnan is undecided, Yiliang is not peaceful, this is not the time of the Han Dynasty." If you go against the trend, it is not enough to follow the heavens and people, and you will be harmful......"

Cao Cao nodded: "If the text is written in Lonely, he also said the same, and then ...... "Make a turn-"If the southeast is decided, you can wave the army to collect the whole Jing and hand it over to the state, which is very worldly, and it is eight or nine, and it is a success." ”

It makes sense for Xunxin to say this, but-"The lord sits in Huainan, and it is expected that the Sun family is not enough to be peaceful, but now he will return to Xu, and I am afraid that there will be complications." In addition, the western thieves also sent troops to ...... in the pass"

Just when Geng Ji, Wei Huang and others were in turmoil, until Cao Cao hurriedly returned to Xudu and purged dissidents, during this time, a warning signal finally came from the Western Front-

Let's say that Liu Bei got the news that Cao Cao went down to Jiangdong, and hurriedly ordered his troops and horses, and according to Fazheng's plan, the troops were divided into three ways to invade the Central Plains. On the first road, Guan Yu and Gan Ning led the navy down the river, wanting to go to Jiangling to meet Liu Qi, and then either cut down Jiangxia to pass Peng Li, or abandon the boat to the north to restore Fù Nanjun, but also move at the opportune time.

On the second road, Zhang Fei and Chen Zhi led the foot soldiers out of the old road of Sanguan and took Chen Cang directly; On the third road, Liu Bei personally led the main force out of Qishan, wanting to join forces with the Liangzhou army and attack the Longguan defense line.

However, since Lü Bu made peace with Cao Cao again, he first waved his army north, killing the western Xianbei lord Putou to the point of fleeing wolf, and his vanguard actually went straight into Shuofang County along the west of the river, looking at the old rule of Linrong across the river. Jiang Xu, a newly recruited staff officer in Liangzhou, took the opportunity to say to Lu Bu: "The imperial court does not keep it for a long time, is it to abandon the second county and the general to collect it?" The clothes have to return to their homeland, and life is happy. ”

Lu Fengxian was originally a native of Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County, but he left his hometown at a very young age, and led Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other heroes to dominate the world - Jiang Xunai has the saying "the clothes are returned". Let's say that the two counties of Shuofang and Wuyuan in the northernmost part of the state were occupied by the Xiongnu, Xianbei and other nomads in the last years of Emperor Ling, and most of the county officials fled, and no one was willing to fill the appointment. Originally, he planned to appoint Dong Zhuo, a famous general of Zhengqiang, as the pastor of the state and go to collect the two counties, but who would have thought that Dong Zhuo would make a U-turn halfway and enter Luoyang......

Later, Lu Bu was appointed as the pastor of the state, but Lu Bu did not have time to show his strength, so he was assigned to Liangzhou again. Then the imperial court divided and merged the state into Shuo, and the two states, Shuofang and Wuyuan were all under the jurisdiction of Shuozhou, and the new assassin Shi Zheng was Xun is Hongfu is also. It was Xun who laid the foundation in Shuozhou, Cao De succeeded him, and it took several years to finally completely subjugate the Southern Xiongnu, and Cao Cao completely broke up his clan, divided it into more than ten departments, and placed it in the north of Xihe County, as well as the south of Shuofang and Wuyuan.

That is to say, half of the two counties of Shuofang and Wuyuan were the nomadic places of the Southern Xiongnu who were controlled by the Han Dynasty, and half were still in the hands of the Xianbei tribes. Therefore, Cao De played to the imperial court, and Jianyi simply omitted the second county, and directly set aside a fetter land to settle the barbarians - anyway, with the current situation, it is impossible to rebuild the county government, and no one will dare to go to the post to defend it, so why leave an empty name?

Cao Cao was quite moved, but was stopped by Shi Xun. Shi Xun said to him: "If the name is right, it can be true, and if the name is not right, the thing will be defeated." Shuo Fang, Wuyuan, control the river loop, for the most important of the imperial captives. The former master's father obtained it, so he was able to threaten Qin; The first emperor obtained it, so that Meng Tian but the head man; Wei and Huo took it, and Mo Nan was even more in court. Although it cannot be a county now, it is advisable to keep its name to encourage the people; If it is saved, it will be a long time, and no one will regard it as a Han land! ”

Although we have not yet been able to completely restore the two counties of Fùshuofang and Wuyuan, at least we cannot find the talents who dare to go to the pastoral guards, we should still keep their names in the official administrative planning. In this way, the soldiers and civilians will still have the idea of restoration; Once the two counties are simplified and abandoned, they will gradually be forgotten, and no one will think that it is the Han land that should be recaptured. But the place of Hetao is too important, according to which you can control the grassland and suppress the northern captives, but you can't lose it!

The history of 2,000 years proves that as long as the Central Plains Dynasty can effectively control the Zhahe Loop area, it can not only occupy favorable terrain, but also obtain a large number of good horses, and can take an all-round offensive against the northern nomadic countries; And once the Hetao area is lost, it is afraid that it will not be possible to maintain a complete defensive position - of course, those examples of sweat and cattle cannot all be analyzed with Cao Cao, and Xun has to cite the three important periods of Zhao Wuling, Qin Shi Huang and Han Wudi as examples.

Not only Xun, but Xun Yu was still in office at Shang Shuling at that time, and he also advised Cao Cao, and finally Cao Cao adopted the two of them - but there are only two false names, so let's keep it for now.

However, although it still exists in its name, it has no official position, so Jiang Xu suspects that the imperial court "wants to abandon the two counties", and build yì Lu Bu, you might as well take the two counties.

But Jiang Xu had just said this, but a person next to him shouted his words and said, "Bo Yi is cautious!" "The person who spoke was Yang Fu in Liangzhou, whose name was Yishan, and Jiang Xu's cousin. Yang Fu said, there are some things that cannot be taken by others without use, once Lu Zhijun stretches out his power beyond Liangzhou, especially in the Hetao area, the origin of good horses, the imperial court will inevitably be afraid, and the previous peace agreement will be in vain - "This unprovoked reason for provocation is also!" ”

Jiang Xu was a little unimpressed, and he still had to argue, but he was stopped by Lu Bu waving his hand: "Liangzhou is undecided, how can you not know that you are satisfied?" I should destroy Han Sui first, and then I can talk about other things. ”

So he turned around and stepped up his attack on Han Sui. Han Sui hurriedly sent his son-in-law Yan Xing to Xudu to ask Cao Cao for help—didn't the imperial court pardon our sins? Hurry up and issue an edict to let Lu Bu stop! Cao Cao was about to conquer the Sun clan in the south, and said that it would be best if Han Sui helped tie up Lu Bu, so he asked Zhao to relieve the two families - of course, it was only a superficial article, he would not take any effective measures to rescue Han Sui and restrict Lu Bu, and Lu Bu ignored it at all, and it was correct to fight Jincheng.

Yang Fu, Jiang Xu and others are all natives of Liangzhou, relatively speaking, the heart is to the imperial court - in the original history, it was these two leaders who drove out Ma Chaosheng, who killed Shi Weikang, the assassin of Liangzhou, and also killed Ma Chao's entire family - if Lu Bu was not the Liangzhou pastor ordered by the imperial court, they might not be willing to obey. Therefore, surrounded by these people, Lu Bu did not take advantage of Cao Cao's southern expedition to join forces with Liu Bei and invade Guanzhong again.

But it doesn't matter, Lu Bu doesn't have this mind, but Chen Gong does...... (To be continued......) R1292
