Chapter 900: Post-War Disposition
Actually, Zhang Xi also thought too much, Zhuge Liang didn't want to carry everything alone.
Really, at least Zhuge Liang himself thinks so.
Zhuge Liang also thought about discussing the next aftermath plan with his ministers, but Zhuge Liang thought that before discussing, he must first sort out the stakes and come up with a charter for everyone to discuss.
Otherwise, it will not do the Han any good for everyone to get together and argue with each other noisily, but not come to a reasonable conclusion.
During this time, Zhuge Liang was busy with this matter, and it happened that he was almost busy, and Zhang Xi came to the door.
Only. Have a meeting, Zhang Xi has proposed so, and Zhuge Liang also has this thought, so let's open it.
Sent a document to Nanyang and Hanzhong at the same time, asking the chief officials of the two places to arrange their respective government affairs and leave for Chang'an as soon as possible to discuss matters.
On the Nanyang side, Xu Shu and Pang Tong will definitely come, and Fazheng in Hanzhong will definitely arrive, and the rest of the people, how many can come, it depends on their respective arrangements.
The meeting was scheduled for half a month later, and before that. Zhuge Liang grabbed Zhang Xi and asked about the marriage between Zhuge Qiao and Zhang Xuan.
These two unlucky children were supposed to get married according to the rites after the autumn harvest, but they happened to catch up with the Battle of Guanzhong, and Zhuge Liang and Zhang Xi had the heart to complete their marriage, so it has been delayed until now.
Now that he has encountered the death of the great general Guan Yu, although there is no need to shy away from the law, the problem is that Guan Yu's prestige and relationship with everyone are there, at least until the first half of next year, these two children are not suitable for weddings.
But it's not a matter to drag on like this, and it's not in line with etiquette to be engaged and not married.
So, Zhuge Liang just wanted to discuss with Zhang Xi and set a suitable time for the two children to get married.
If you can't do a big deal, but at least you have to be in line with etiquette, and you can't make people laugh at it if you get married before the three-year period comes.
Zhuge Liang is right!
Anyway, as far as the current situation is concerned, her daughter has recognized Zhuge Qiao, and this Zhuge Qiao doesn't seem to be short-lived. Just set a time.
At that time, it will be a happy event, and the time will be set after the autumn harvest of the sixth year of Jianxing.
At that time, the reconstruction of Guanzhong should be almost the same, and it happened to be after the autumn harvest, and marrying a daughter at that time would at least make the people of Chang'an lively together.
In these years, there is no talk of spiritual civilization, but the saying of having fun with the people and elevating the people's hearts has long existed.
After the two agreed on this matter, they began to be busy again, until Xu Shu, Fa Zheng and others arrived in Chang'an.
Now that everyone is here, let's start the discussion!!
There are not a few people who participated in this meeting.
On the Yongzhou side, not only Zhang Xi participated, but also Fei Yi and Huang Quan participated, and Zhao Yun also participated as General Wei.
In Jingzhou, because Guan Yu died of illness, Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Guan Yinping and Deng Ai and others wanted to escort Guan Yu's coffin to Chengdu for burial, so Wang Ji had to be stationed in Wancheng, and the only people who came to Chang'an to attend the meeting this time were Xu Shu and Ma Liang, as well as Pang Tong and Jiang Wei, who were ready to return to Chengdu by the way.
On the Hanzhong side, unexpectedly, not only Fa Zheng arrived, but even Li Yan also cameObviously, Fa Zheng now has the intention of supporting Li Yan.
Each has its own arrangement, and each has its own thoughts, but that's all something to consider later, now. Let's go first.
With Zhuge Liang's advance preparation, everyone doesn't need to dispute the order of some things, just follow Zhuge Liang's preparation. If anyone present, they will not be more prepared than Zhuge Liang.
First of all, after the Northern Expedition, the issue of rewards and punishments for the merits and demerits of the officers and men of various armies.
The rewards and punishments of the low-level generals and non-commissioned officers, naturally there are prime ministers' mansions to join the army, and the chroniclers are responsible.
The issue that needs to be discussed on the side of Chang'an is the merit and demerit of several leading generals.
For example, Wang Ping, who made great contributions in the course of the Northern Expedition, and the reward and punishment of soldiers like Liu Yin, who had meritorious deeds first and then had meritorious service.
Needless to say, Wang Ping can capture Wancheng, Wang Ping has at least half of the credit, and he must be rewarded.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang's suggestion was to promote Wang Ping to General Zuo, and at the same time report to the Son of Heaven, and ask the Son of Heaven to make Wang Ping the Marquis of Ting, as for what kind of marquis, that is a matter for the Son of Heaven to decide.
In this regard, there is no objection.
Next is the troublesome Liu Yin, or rather, how to deal with generals like Liu Yin.
There are a lot of such generals who have had a mistake first and then made meritorious contributions in this battle of Guanzhong, and their rewards and punishments are directly related to the hearts of the Yongzhou army and the people.
According to Zhuge Liang's meaning, merit is merit, and it needs to be looked at separately, so for Liu Yin, Zhuge Liang means that merit and demerit are offset and demoted and retained.
The demotion was a punishment for his defeat and loss of most of Youfufeng County, and he was retained because he finally held Huaili, ensured the flank of Chang'an, and also bought enough time for the Northern Army to counterattack.
But if you judge the merits according to Zhuge Liang's line of thought, there are too many generals and colonies of Yongzhou County, and they will be in an unfavorable situation in the next distribution of merits.
The soldiers of Yongzhou County were beaten the most viciously, fought the most difficult battles, killed the most enemies, and finally got a result of a demotion and fine? !
This Zhang Xi definitely can't agree, he has to fight for the sake of the Yongzhou soldiers, and Chen Yi, Fei Yi, and even Huang Quan, who have the same position, are on Zhang Xi's side.
As for the representatives of Xiangyang and Hanzhong, they were silent at this time.
On the one hand, they didn't want to get involved in this troublesome dispute, and on the other hand, although they felt that Zhuge Liang's handling was indeed fair, it was somewhat unkind.
If you help Zhuge Liang speak now, wouldn't it be the same embarrassing if you encounter a similar situation in the future?!
Therefore, it is better to be silent in contrast.
In the end, Zhuge Liang still made a compromise in the process of arguing with Zhang Xi - ordinary generals and soldiers were rewarded for meritorious deeds, but the leading generals, who preferred the generals and above, were demoted and retained.
This is Zhuge Liang's final bottom line, and someone must be responsible for the loss of Right Fufeng and Left Feng Yi in the early stage, even Zhang Xi is no exception.
Hawkers, for this, Zhang Xi did not continue to insist.
As the commander of the First Army, even if the final result was to keep Guanzhong and kill and injure the main force of the Sili Army at the same time, but the casualties were so large, Zhang Xi did not think about throwing the blame on himself.
Zhang Xi has admitted this responsibility, so the following people like Liu Yin, Hu Zun and others can't escape responsibility.
But, there is one exception.
Sentence support.
Jufu, whose whereabouts are unknown on the battlefield, finally found it after the Northern Army repelled Guo Huai's army and carefully cleaned the battlefield.
Because it was too late to find it, the person was already unrecognizable, and he could only judge by the armor and accessories that Jufu had already died.
According to the book, when Jufu died in battle, he was hit by six arrows in the chest and had numerous knife wounds all over his body, and it was obvious that he had fought to the last moment.
Therefore, for Jufu, Zhuge Liang will report to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to seal the marquis and bury him.
After dealing with the post-war affairs on the Yongzhou side, Zhuge Liang communicated with Fa Zheng and Xu Shu about the reward and punishment plan for the battle of Hanzhong and Jingzhou.
In fact, there is nothing to punish in Hanzhong, before Fa Zheng arrived in Guanzhong, Li Yan has always done his best in Hanzhong to prepare for the Northern Expedition of grain and grass, do a good job in logistics and transshipment, and there has been no mistake, so Fa Zheng believes that Li Yan is meritorious.
This is also one of the reasons why Fa Zheng brought Li Yan to Chang'an, Fa Zheng always felt that Zhuge Liang, Zhang Xi and others seemed to be rejecting Li Yan intentionally or unintentionally, but Li Yan's ability and level were placed there, and it was a waste to continue to put them in Hanzhong.
Zhuge Liang also admitted this, so he suggested that Fa Zheng report to the imperial court and give Li Yan a meritorious review, but Zhuge Liang did not participate in this matter.
This can be regarded as sending face to Fazheng and Dongzhou.
As for Jingzhou, Kou Feng, Deng Ai, and Guan Ping, who were responsible for attacking Nanyang, naturally also wanted to make meritorious contributions, but Kou Feng has now returned to the three eastern counties to guard, Guan Ping, Deng Ai and others followed Zhang Fei to help Guan Yu's coffin go Han River into Sichuan, and after Guan Yu's funeral is over, it is not too late to discuss the issue of reward.
As for Jiangling, Shi Bao repelled the siege of the Eastern Wu Army, and naturally he also wanted to be rewarded, but Pang Tong, Chen Zhi, Zong Pre, Jiang Wei and others, because they lost the public security, were also a punishment of demotion and retention, and even Pang Tong could not be an exception.
By the way, there are exceptions, and that is Zhang Ren. In November of the fifth year of Jianxing, Zhang Ren, who retreated to Padang County, died of illness.
Zhang Ren's posterity, Pang Tong has already made a commitment, and at this time Pang Tong will inevitably fight for Zhang Ren.
As for the promise of this feudal marquis, although Zhuge Liang felt a little abrupt, considering Zhang Ren's conscientiousness over the years, Zhuge Liang decided to agree with Pang Tong's opinion and report to the Son of Heaven, who would give Zhang Ren's eldest son Zhang Lin a knight to show comfort.
After these aftermath matters, the topic finally moved on to the second aspect.
The issue of personnel appointments to Jingzhou.
Guan Yu died of illness, whether Jingzhou still sent generals to guard the governor as before, or took the power back to the imperial court, and the imperial court treated it as an ordinary state and county.
This question is a big problem, and it is also a big problem that involves the interests of many Jingzhou generals and families.
As soon as the topic began, there was an eerie silence.
And when Zhuge Liang saw this posture, he immediately understood that this matter was not so easy to solve.
