Chapter 447: Asking Questions
Although Jiang Wei returned to Chengdu, he paid great attention to the situation in Guanzhong.
Every three days, news from the front will come back.
"Could it be that Yang Zheng really wants to attack Chang'an?" Huang Chongdao.
"Wang Ji is Cao Wei's general, Yang Zheng doesn't fight with him, he can only attack Chang'an first and attract Wang Ji to help, but Chang'an has been operated by Sima Fu for several years, and it is even more difficult to get back-up." Xiahou Ba knew Wang Ji and knew Sima Fu better.
In the early years, Wang Ji recommended Sima Yi, moved to the middle of the book, because of the Ming Emperor to build a large number of buildings, sat on the crime and dismissed him, and was later promoted by Cao Shuang, served as Anfeng Taishou, Henan Yin, quite a political achievement, but because he was not used to Cao Shuang's arrogance and lasciviousness, he was alienated by Deng Yang and his party.
After the change of Gao Pingling, Wang Ji was conquered by Cao Shuang and was dismissed from office.
But he was soon vigorously promoted by Sima Yi, first as Shangshu, and then as the assassin of Jingzhou, and the general of Jiayanglie.
Yang Zheng rose in Xiping, and Xiahouba was transferred back to Chengdu.
Although he was not treated by the Shu bureaucrats, the Shu lord treated him very well.
Life is also good, he has a mansion in Chengdu, marries a few concubines, and gives birth to two sons and three daughters.
The terroir in Shuzhong is quite nurturing, and when he left the battlefield, Xiahou Ba's face was red, and he also made a lot of fortune.
"The vicious battle between Yang Zheng and the Sima clan is not a good thing for the Han! Our army is recuperating, and when they are exhausted, they can regain Yongliang in one go! Huang Chong thinks farther and has a great appetite.
Xiahou Ba was silent.
Jiang Wei didn't seem to be interested, and said to the people around him: "Why hasn't Gong Xi come yet?" ”
After Chen You's death, the person most likely to be promoted to Shang Shuling was Shang Shu's servant Dong Ju.
He has been in Shangshutai for many years, and has gone through the eras of Zhuge Wuhou, Jiang Wan, Dong Yun, and Fei Yi, and his fame and talent are all the best choices.
If Jiang Wei wants to lead the army to "restore the Han Dynasty" in the front, there must be another person similar to Chen Yi in the rear, who will inherit the emperor's order, neutralize the ministers, and connect the eunuchs below, reconcile the inside and outside, and support his Northern Expedition.
However, the biggest call recently is Zhuge Zhan.
Not only in the court, but also in the people's voice.
There are also Hanzhong Governor Hu Ji and Ku Governor Huo Ge secretly supporting.
If it weren't for Yan Yu taking over from Zongzhu and becoming the governor of Yong'an, I'm afraid that the three governors of Shu would all support Zhuge Zhan.
Jingzhou's system can be seen in the authority of Shu.
As for Zhuge Zhan, like Zhuge Ke, he had the reputation of being smart at a young age, and later married the princess and was awarded the title of Captain.
Every time there is a decree in the court that benefits the people, the people all rush to tell each other: Gehou has done it.
It is because Zhuge Zhan is young and has no meritorious service, so his reputation spreads.
"Returning to the general, Dong Servant is sick with a broken body, and he refuses to see guests today." The doorman hurried to report.
Jiang Wei frowned, this was obviously a pretext.
This does not bode well.
Of course, Jiang Wei also understood what was going on.
After the defeat of Duan Gu, Jiang Wei was pushed to the cusp, both inside and outside the government and the opposition, the scholars were resentful, if it were not for the protection of the lord of Shu, Jiang Wei's political career would have come to an end.
Dong Ju was reluctant to see him, which meant that Dong Ju was avoiding suspicion.
Jiang Wei sighed, and suddenly felt unprecedentedly isolated, how difficult it was to restore the Han family.
There were many major opportunities in Guanzhong, but they were all buried in the hands of their own people.
In fact, the same was true of Zhuge Wuhou back then, and Li Yan was hindered in the rear.
Not long after, another piece of news came out in the palace, which made Jiang Wei even more upset, and the lord of Shu crowned Huang Hao as the captain of Fengche.
This position was an official with a rank of 2,000 stones when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he was in charge of the emperor's chariot, and Huo Guang once served as this official, which shows Liu Chan's favor for Huang Hao.
"Your Majesty appointed Huang Hao as the lieutenant of Fengche at this time, isn't he knocking on the Jingzhou department?" Xiahou Ba was surprised.
"The candidate to take over Shang Shuling this time must not be Zhuge Zhan." Huang Chong said firmly.
After Jiang Wan, Dong Yun, and Fei Yi, Hu Ji had major negligence, and the sect was already old, and the rest was Zhuge Zhan, who was the son of Wuhou.
Based on the Shu lord's dislike of the scholars in Jingzhou over the years, it is very likely that Shang Shuling is neither Zhuge Zhan nor Dong Ju.
Judging from the current trend, it is Huang Hao's party that is most likely to gain power.
"It seems that I am the only one who is going to advise His Majesty!" Jiang Weidao.
In fact, there has always been a huge contradiction between the emperor and the Jingzhou department.
The struggle between imperial power and relative power.
Zhuge Wuhou has been in power for eleven years, not only the prime minister of Shu, but also the "father" of Liu Chan, the lord of Shu.
Therefore, the prime minister once suppressed the imperial power.
Fei Yi has repeatedly fought for the position of prime minister, and indirectly he is also striving to be Liu Chan's "father".
Fei Yi has been in power for eleven years, and his qualifications and prestige are enough......
So he could only die inexplicably at the hands of a general.
The Jingzhou system, which was originally in a good situation, suffered a devastating blow, and the position of prime minister was not obtained, and even the positions of Shang Shuling and general were divided by Chen Yuan and Jiang Wei.
Therefore, the contradictions of Shu will become bigger and bigger, and finally lead to the defeat of Duangu.
Duan Gu's defeat was just the beginning.
Fufu-gun.
The soldiers of Liangzhou also set up a village by the river, from Huaili as the rear, built a fortress along the river, repaired to the city of Chang'an, and put on a posture of strong attack.
Sima Fu still couldn't shrink back.
And Wang Ji was not fooled, and only sent Lu Fan to lead 3,000 Chinese troops to help defend Chang'an.
Looking at the "Sima" flag planted on the city wall of Chang'an, Yang Zheng sneered: "Do you really think that someone will not dare to attack Chang'an? Order, transfer Zhang Te, Zhou Zhi to lead the government soldiers to help the war! ”
"Yui!" The soldiers took the order and left.
Since Wang Ji does not move, then surround Chang'an.
The city of Chang'an suddenly became busy, with camps, ravines, antlers, and cutting down nearby trees to build siege equipment.
You might as well get the momentum up first.
With Sima Fu in the city, Yang Zheng really didn't believe that he dared to be indifferent.
Five days later, Zhang Te led 10,000 government soldiers to come, in order to create momentum, Zhang Te marched in a noisy manner, flying sand and stones everywhere, leading stable men, women and children to march with the army, the momentum was quite large, and the mighty and mighty down the water, 10,000 government soldiers, he made 50,000 or 60,000 people.
After another five days, Zhou Zhi led 5,000 soldiers from Longxi Prefecture to arrive.
Tian Zhang and Zhan Shao were also among them, and when they saw Yang Zheng's face, they bowed their heads, "My subordinates meet the general." ”
"Two of you, please." Yang Zheng personally supported.
Jiuye Camp secretly investigated for several months, and basically ruled out the possibility of the death of the two.
Both of them are from the Shu clan, and they don't have much loyalty to the Sima family.
"General Xie!" The two gave up.
As long as he is from the Shu clan, he is the target of Yang Zheng's wooing.
"There are a lot of soldiers in Chang'an City, I don't know if the two of you can break the city?" Yang Zheng asked casually, just to win over the two.
Tian Zhang said angrily: "My subordinates are willing to lead their subordinates as the vanguard and take this city for the general." ”
"Well, the general is really heroic."
"The art of war is cloudy, the siege of the city is the bottom, the attack is the top, some time ago Chang'an ran out of food, Sima Fu drove out nearly 10,000 women and children, the old and weak, the general is benevolent and righteous, all of them are contained, these people's family rolls are in the city, if the general shouts the city on all sides, the people of Chang'an will be in chaos, even if no one opens the city and surrenders, our army will attack it, you can take advantage of the situation!" Shao Dao.
Yang Zheng was stunned, there was something.
It's not that he mentioned it, he forgot about it.
It's been a year like there are people everywhere.
"This strategy is very good, if you can break the city, you will be the first merit." Yang Zheng said with a smile.
"Thank you general, my subordinates are only shallow in learning, and General Noda has mentioned it, so I have this understanding."
Seeing Tian Zhang next to him with a stunned expression, Yang Zheng knew that this was Shao Shao lifting Tian Zhang, and his evaluation of this person was a few points higher in his heart.
There are many talented people in these years, but most of them can't hold their breath, so they can't achieve anything.
In front of so many generals, Yang Zheng didn't want to reward him too much, otherwise he would make enemies for him.
There are some things that you just need to know.
"If this city is broken, you two will work together, Meng Guan, you go and pick up the old and weak women and children who were placed some time ago."
"Yui!"
