More than 500 miles from Xihan to Dayun Valley, the two Qiang kings had just planned a rebellion with Cao Wei's envoys, and they were still recruiting troops and horses and gathering many Qiang tribes to rebel together.

This news quickly spread among the Qiang tribes, and for a while, all the Qiang were shaken, and none of the Qiang in Liangzhou dared to look up to Shen Chen's might, and his prestige naturally spread far and wide in Xiliang.

After that, Shen Chen divided Jincheng County, Longyou County, Tianshui County, Wudu County and other Daqiang tribes, each allocated grassland, planned them as small and medium-sized tribes, did not allow them to attack and annex each other, and opened county schools in each county, and sent scholars from Bashu to Liangzhou to recruit Qiang Han children to study.

Shen Chen also gave great preferential treatment to Mr. Shen Chen who was willing to teach, such as extra points when entering the imperial examination, and even those with excellent performance could skip the imperial examination directly and be recruited as officials by the imperial court, so the servants were like clouds, and even many families in Liangzhou were willing to sign up.

Shen Chen recruited Qiang Han soldiers, and his disciples appointed middle-level officers in the army to serve as ideological and political work, strictly promoting Shen Chen's policy of treating Qiang Han and Han equally, and conducting military training.

At this moment, in the Liangzhou Mu Mansion in Ji County, Tianshui County, Shen Chen sat on the main seat, and there were high-ranking civil generals of Tianshui County gathered on the left and right below, such as Zhao Yun, Pang De, Deng Zhi, Pang Shu and others, and there was a special one, he was a general.

Forbidden!

At this time in the history of the ban, he had died of grief and anger because of Cao Pi's humiliation, and although he was not dead now, the whole person was extremely haggard, like an old man of twenty years old, like an octogenarian man, his face was vicissitudes, his beard was gray, and he often lowered his eyebrows and did not say a word in meetings on weekdays.

Shen Chen looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, if Your Majesty wants to rejuvenate the Yan Han and crusade against Cao Wei, he will set up a northern expedition and attack the Kanto region on three sides. Our responsibility is to attack Chang'an from Yongliang and Hanzhong, Hanzhong is responsible for grain and grass, and Liangzhou sends troops to take the land of Sanfu first, and then step by step as a battalion, break through Chang'an, and return to the old capital. ”

And all the people looked up at him.

Shen Chen continued: "So if you want to fulfill Your Majesty's long-cherished wish, you must be vigorous and must not slack off. There are 30,000 soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, and 40,000 soldiers and horses in Han, which is far from enough. There are many Qiang people in Liangzhou, if they can't be treated equally, how can they serve the public? Therefore, I want to recruit Qiang soldiers and train them as strong soldiers, and this matter will be handed over to General Yu to handle. ”

Yu Ban was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Ban a general, how dare you take on this heavy responsibility, and please think twice about it." ”

"If you can train the army, you can take on this role."

Shen Chen looked at him and said.

Yu Ban said ashamedly: "I'm just a general, what kind of face do I have?" ”

Shen Chen looked around and said, "Anyone should clearly understand their own situation and the interests of the class they represent, Pang Taishou, what are your origins?" ”

Pang Yu said: "I am a child of a poor family, some land in the family, after my father died, my mother did not give birth, and waited for the opportunity to kill the enemy of my grandfather, this matter caused a sensation in Liangzhou, you should know." ”

"Not bad."

Shen Chen nodded and said, "Pang Taishou is a son of a poor family, so he was able to study without his father dying and his mother not giving birth, and finally became a monk." But General Yu was born in the bottom Qian, so why was he able to become Cao Wei's former general? ”

"Why?"

Someone asked.

"Because General Yu has to work hard, it takes ten times and a hundred times more effort than the poor, the family, and the powerful to be able to be in a high position."

Shen Chen looked around at everyone and said: "Throughout history, heroes and heroes are often used as epics, but there are few allusions to the heads of Qiantou and the common people as epics. This is because the masters of history are often written by those of a higher class of power. And the people of Qianshou have no channel to rise, even if they finally rise, they eventually become the gate valve of the family and step on the heads of the people of Qianshou. ”

"Hmm"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't understand why Shen Chen said this.

Pang De then asked: "Yes, I am also from the head of Qian, although Shou Chenggong was a general of Fubo, he was poor in his early years, so we must work hard to be promoted." But what does this have to do with whether General Yu trains or not? ”

Shen Chen said: "Yes, it has a lot to do with it. What I want to tell General Yu is that you have to work hard to be promoted. But in the eyes of the powerful people of the great family, you are still just a general of Qiantou, how can you compare to the family business of others? So I hope that General Yu can understand why he is fighting for it, and I now want to know, why did the general fight for Cao Wei in the first place? ”

Yu Ban Nene said: "It's because I was working for Bao Fujun at that time, and before the death of Fu Jun, he entrusted all of us to the King of Wei, so I have been working for the King of Wei since then. ”

"Hmm."

Shen Chen said: "This is where everyone's short-sightedness lies, the general only knows how to follow orders from above, but he doesn't know what he is fighting for. When I build a new army in Liangzhou, I have to let the soldiers know what they are fighting for, and if they don't even know the general himself, what should I do? ”

Pang Shu asked, "Please make it clear to the Metropolitan Governor, what should we fight for?" ”

Mencius said that the people are precious, and the monarch is light. The people are the foundation of the country, if there are no people, where will the families, magnates, officials, generals, gate lords, ministers, and emperors come from? ”

Shen Chen looked at them and said: "The people of Qianshou are all Han people, but the generals of Cao Wei obeyed the orders of Cao thieves and slaughtered Xuzhou, this is standing opposite the people, and it is also because the people have not opened up the wisdom of the people and do not understand who is their enemy, otherwise how can Cao Cao have a foothold?" ”

Yu Ban was silent.

Shen Chen continued: "I thought that in a country, the people are the foundation. The main ethnic group of our Han is the Han people, and the Han people should embrace all rivers and rivers, and accommodate the rest of the ethnic groups in the national system dominated by the Han people, so that everyone can have a place to live. The country is one, all people have the strength to work together, the strength to come out together, regardless of you and me, in order to unite as one and build a strong country. General Yu is good at training, so I asked him to train, but before letting him train, what I want to tell him is that Yu Ban is also from the head of Qian, recruited by fellow villager Bao Xin and conscripted into the army, and you have made many military exploits to get to where you are today. But you have forgotten who you once was, and you came from the head of the Qian, but you want to fight for the tiger and slaughter the people, is this what an upright person should do? Asking you to train now is to give you a chance to reform yourself, don't make mistakes again and again, and remember that you were also a common man! ”

Yu Ban lowered his head in shame.

Shen Chen looked at him and said, "Now, does General Yu understand what he is going to fight for in the future?" ”

Yu Banmu said solemnly: "Fight for the people." ”

"Not bad."

Shen Chen nodded: "You may still not understand why you are fighting for the people, but I don't need you to figure it out, you just need to know this." The people are the foundation, the origin of you, if you even abandon your own origin, how is it different from the beast? ”

"Yes."

Yu Ban lowered his head and answered.

Shen Chen looked around at everyone again: "Liangzhou has repeatedly rebelled, all because it is too far away from the central court, and the local families have many misdeeds, such as Wuwei Yan Jun, Zhang Ye and Luan, Jiuquan Huanghua, and Jincheng Kojiyan are all from big families, like the ancestor of the Jiuquan Huang family, who was also the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Huang Ba, but now he rebelled against the court and became self-reliant, where is Pang De forbidden?" ”

"The last general!"

Pound stepped forward.

Yu Ban had no choice but to stand up and arch his hand: "The end will be." ”

"I want to form a Xing army, recruit elite soldiers in various counties, with Pang De as the main general, Yu Ban as the deputy general, Pang De is responsible for leading the army, Yu Ban is responsible for training, and now Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang are some for Cao Wei, and some are for the local family troubles, so that the two of you, within a year, form a new army to break it!"

"Yes!"

Both of them gave up.

Shen Chen nodded, looking at Yu Ban who seemed to be still struggling, and said with a smile: "I know what General Yu is worried about. ”

Clapping his hands as he spoke.

Moments later, a man, a woman, and a child walked out of the courtyard.

Both men and women were in their thirties and forties, and the children were about eleven or twelve years old, and they became emotional when they saw Yu Ban.

"Father!"

Yu Gui stepped forward and bowed to the ground.

Yu Ban was also emotional, went up and hugged his son, and said happily: "Gui'er." ”

Shen Chen said with a smile: "Fortunately, Cao Pi still has humanity, and he is not embarrassed by the family of those who surrender, and there is no one to monitor, I asked the general's family to be taken out of Luoyang and sent to Nanyang, without telling in advance, and please don't blame the general." ”

Yu Ban is the head of the bottom Qian, there is only one son Yu Gui, in history after Yu Ban's death, Yu Gui inherited his title, and the Yu family basically has no sense of existence in the Cao Wei Group.

Now because of Yu Ban's surrender, the life of the Yu family is even more embarrassing. Although Cao Pi did not punish them, he was subjected to white eyes and suppression, and Yu Gui also felt very uneasy, so he accepted Shen Chen's arrangement to spy in Luoyang and went to Nanyang smoothly.

The process was so simple and smooth that it was unimaginable, because of the relationship between Yu Ban's surrender, Yu's family was very low-key, and he didn't dare to go out or have too much contact with people, for fear that Cao Pi would ask for guilt, so he stayed in the mansion for a long time and didn't go out.

Just need to find a night for a family of three to sit in the carriage going south, and just like that, they swaggered from the road of Dabie Mountain into Nanyang, and there were almost no obstacles in the process, and there were spies arranged by Shen Chen along the way, and even after Yu Gui escaped for half a month, Cao Pi knew about it.

After seeing his son's family, Yu Ban's heart was finally relieved, and he seriously bowed his hand to Shen Chen: "The Grand Governor, from now on, it is forbidden to be sent by the Governor." ”

"Hmm."

Shen Chen nodded and said, "You are familiar with Cao Wei's soldiers and horses, if you want to make meritorious contributions to future generations and the people of Limin, then you must not slack off." ”

"Yui!"

Yu is willing to obey the forbidden heart.

In fact, as the head of Qian, he really had to climb up by unscrupulous means in the past to be able to gain Cao Cao's trust.

Therefore, he doesn't care what his identity was, as long as he can get status, it is enough.

Climbing up from the bottom is far more difficult than the big clans. Therefore, he needs to work hard to help Cao Wei in exchange for power. Even Cao Cao ordered him to slaughter the same low-level people.

This is the class that betrays itself, and wants to rise to a higher class by suppressing its own class.

But even if he climbs up like this, for the big family, he is still only from the bottom, and he will never look down on him, just like Cao Pi only ridiculed him, but did not have his respect for Cao Wei for so many years.

Therefore, he is an outlier to the bottom, and he is also an outlier to the family.

Both sides are not pleased, only family is always his biggest weakness, even if he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and chooses to surrender, he will still worry about his son's situation on Cao Wei's side.

Now that Yu Gui has been sent over, Yu Ban is a general in the army, Shen Chenmin's arguments may not be able to convince him, but as long as his family can be by his side, then naturally everything Shen Chen says is right, just listen.

Shen Chen didn't need Yu Ban to have such a high level of consciousness to understand his words, but some words had to be said in place, and now after arranging the work, he looked around at everyone and said, "Everyone, if the country wants to prosper, it can't do without the support of the people. There are people here who are local officials, and some are generals, Your Majesty loves the people like sons, and is benevolent and righteous. ”

"Yui!"

Everyone should be together.

Now Shen Chen has also been in Xiliang for more than half a year.

The policy of treating the Qiang and Han equally, is in full swing.

There are certainly contradictions, but these are solvable problems.

As long as the enthusiasm of the Qiang people can be mobilized, even in the main ethnic body of the Qiang people in Liangzhou, they are still willing to accept the rule of the Han people.

And now there are still some problems, that is, the local family in Liangzhou.

When Liu Bei occupied Xiliang, he forcibly implemented his policy of suppressing local tyrants and supporting the people at the bottom.

Just like what was done in Yizhou, Jingzhou, many local tyrants fled to Wuwei, Zhangye and other counties in the north, and even launched rebellions to occupy these places.

Therefore, now Liu Bei's occupation area, that is, the four counties of Longyou, is mostly Yizhou officials serving as local chiefs, and the number of local heroes is relatively small.

Shen Chen planned to train new soldiers, first take Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang and other places to get rid of the rebel families in Wuwei, Zhangye and other places, as well as Cao Wei officials in Jiuquan Dunhuang, to see the effect of training.

He sent Deng Ai Jiangwei as the captain of the Qiang Protector to maintain the stability of the Qiang people in Jincheng and other places, and also to prepare for the attack on Wuwei County in the future.

Shen Chen didn't plan to go to these little things in person, he still had two other questions.

The first is the Qiang of Anding County and Beidi County.

The second is cavalry training.

Stirrups and horseshoes, saddles and irons are already being manufactured at full capacity.

Next month, Shen Chen plans to take the almost 20,000 cavalry currently owned by Liu Bei's group to go directly to Hanzhong, change into new equipment, and gallop around the Hanzhong Plain, so that the cavalry can adapt first.

This is also a secret training.

The main reason is that the spies on Cao Wei's side will get these military secrets as soon as possible, after all, Cao Wei has a merge state and Youzhou, and the cavalry will only be more than Liu Bei's group.

Therefore, it was also necessary to carry out secrecy work and bring the cavalry to Hanzhong to check the effect of training.

As for the issue of Qiangqi in Anding County and Beidi County.

Shen Chen decided to hand it over to Zhao Yun.

From the three-year war set by Zhang Wu in the second year, a year and a half have now passed.

Now he is still solving the problems of the Hanzhong grain road and the rear of Liangzhou.

Although many things have not been solved, at least the problems are already on the way to be solved, and now is the time to actively prepare for the Northern Expedition.

It's not that I want water, it's that I want to have a bit of a transitional plot. The second is that the problem of the grain road in Hanzhong and the stability of the rear of Xiliang are indeed there, and the protagonist must also be solved, I didn't write so meticulously, if I wrote it carefully, I could still have more than a dozen chapters. I tried to speed up the progress as much as possible and start the Northern Expedition as soon as possible.
