Chapter 481: Dongzhou, Yizhou
Chengdu.
After Liu Bei learned that Jiangling was surrounded by Cao's army, he was about to transfer troops, especially the main force of Liangzhou.
Jingzhou, as an important part of the Longzhong pair, must not be lost.
Zhuge Liang signaled Liu Bei to relax.
"The king can rest assured, the prince of the world is mediocre, even if something happens, he can stop the loss in time."
Changes?
Liu Bei frowned, and the generals were Liu Feng and Meng Da.
One is the righteous son who fought with him in all directions, and the other is the hero who led him into Shu.
If it was possible, Liu Bei really didn't want the two of them to have any rebellious intentions.
"My lord, today's Yizhou is completely different from Yizhou, where Gaozu is located."
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and patiently explained to Liu Bei: "During the Gaozu period, Yizhou was not yet fully civilized, and the entire imperial court was dominated by people and horses from Pei County. ”
"On the other hand, in Yizhou today, there are not only the local Yizhou faction and the Dongzhou faction, but also the people brought by the lord from Jingzhou, or your patriarchal faction."
"There are many factions, and if they are not integrated, there will be turmoil."
Liu Bei nodded, "Before Mang'er, didn't you use various methods to ease the relationship between the Yizhou faction and the Dongzhou faction?" ”
"Could it be that Mr. thinks that the two factions will still fight among themselves?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head slowly, the Yizhou faction had been suppressed by the Dongzhou faction before, and he couldn't raise his head.
Liu Mang's slight tricks made them feel a little fair, and the Yizhou faction yearned for it, put aside their prejudices, and began to fully support Liu Bei.
On the contrary, it was the Dongzhou faction, which had eaten too many dividends from Liu Yan and Liu Zhang's father and son before.
Fa Zheng and Meng Da, the two heroes who led Liu Bei into Shu, also belonged to the Dongzhou faction, but now it seems that Liu Bei's main team is still his veteran faction and Jingzhou faction.
The Yizhou faction has a tendency to rise up, especially Zhang Song, who was cited by Liu Bei as a confidant.
Looking at the Dongzhou faction again, Wu Yi and Wu Ban did not perform well in the battle of Hanzhong.
Meng Da even had a conflict with Liu Mang, and was directly demoted to Shangyong to garrison.
In the eyes of the Dongzhou faction, the noble Dongzhou people should stay in Chengdu, how can they go to Shangyong?
Only Fa is approaching Liu Mang, and now it is thriving.
However, Fa Zheng's heart was towards Liu Bei's father and son, and he did not intend to participate in the so-called factional struggle.
The people of the Dongzhou faction did not warn Fazheng, but the latter would report it, and the Dongzhou faction did not dare to tear their faces easily.
After a series of means, the Dongzhou faction married Wu Yi's sister to Liu Bei.
I thought that through this marriage, the power of the Dongzhou faction could be greatly increased.
Who knew that Liu Bei married someone and didn't do anything, so he was not moved at all.
The Dongzhou faction, dominated by Peng Yi, gradually couldn't sit still.
However, compared with Zhuge Liang, they are really three-year-old children.
Seeing that he had influenced Liu Bei several times to no avail, Meng Da decisively chose to take refuge in Cao Cao, but in the end he failed and was killed by Liu Mang.
"Meng Da rebelled and has been killed by the prince!"
As one of the elders of Feiyu, Zhuge Liang had already received the news, but he deliberately covered the information and did not leak it.
Now that Liu Bei learned about it, he was still afraid for a while.
"Sir...... On that day, the Dongzhou faction was able to lead me into Shu, if they were dissatisfied with me, wouldn't they be able to accept others? ”
Liu Bei took a deep breath, no matter how benevolent and righteous he was, he didn't want his subordinates to be a group of white-eyed wolves who couldn't be raised.
"Great King, it's not that you are mean to the Dongzhou faction, but they have received too many benefits before."
"Now, just ceding benefits to Yizhou people is already painful."
"Liang thinks that if there are Yizhou people who are willing to go to other states to be officials, they can be sent there."
Jiaozhou is vast and sparsely populated, and it is necessary for people with lofty ideals to go to construction.
"Good! According to Mr.'s meaning, as long as you are willing to go to other states to be an official, we will accept it all! ”
Zhuge Liang's move made the Yizhou faction move closer to the imperial court, and at the same time, he was also knocking on the Dongzhou faction.
If you want to be an official, you can put away those careful thoughts first!
As soon as Liu Bei's decree was announced, it caused an uproar in the court.
Yizhou sent everyone to sign up enthusiastically, and the Yizhou scholars made even more efforts to let their young children go to Jiaozhou for training.
Dong Yun, Fei Yi and others were impressively listed, Zhuge Liang was overjoyed, these materials that can be made, if they can go to Jiaozhou for training, and when they return, they will definitely become indispensable pillars of the Han Dynasty.
On the contrary, the Dongzhou faction is not interested in this, and they wish that the hateful Yizhou people would get out of the way quickly, so that they could make room for more official positions.
Engaged in Peng Yi in Zhizhong, he has always been contemptuous, and he even looks down on the Yizhou faction.
However, this person was recommended by Fa Zheng and Meng Da, and Zhang Song and others also gave him some face.
Zhuge Liang was respectful to him on the surface, but behind his back, he ordered Feiyu to investigate him.
Soon, Zhuge Liang discovered Peng Yi's correspondence with Meng Da.
Sure enough, Meng Da complained many times that he was not reused under Liu Bei, and even said that he knew that he should go to Xuchang to join Cao Cao back then.
Peng Yi not only did not take a stand, but supported Meng Da.
"Sir, this is a brilliant plan! Yizhou is becoming more and more supportive of me! ”
"The Dongzhou faction thinks I'm belittling the Yizhou people, but in fact, they are reusing them."
Liu Bei was in a good mood, but he saw that Zhuge Liang was sullen.
"What are your concerns, sir?"
"What does the king think, how is Peng Yi?"
Speaking of Peng Yi, Liu Bei frowned and said: "This person treats people lightly, but he is talented, I thought this person was useful at the time, so I ordered him to work in the middle of the government." ”
Zhuge Liang informed Liu Bei of the correspondence between Peng Yi and Meng Da.
"King, this person has great ambitions, what will he do in the future, I hope you will make plans as soon as possible!"
Zhuge Liang said that, he is by no means a person who offers slander, and Liu Bei knows that Mr. Wolong is clean and self-conscious.
If Peng Yi is unprovoked, Zhuge Liang will never frame him out of thin air.
"Well...... Let Peng Yi be the Taishou of Jiangyang, and set off on the same day, don't delay! ”
Zhuge Liang nodded, the Dongzhou faction had already had a high-level Meng Da surrendered to the enemy and was killed, and he didn't want anything to happen to Peng Yi.
Otherwise, the Dongzhou faction thought that it was deliberately targeted by the imperial court.
……
Peng House.
A paper order from the imperial court allowed Peng Yi to engage in governance and become the Taishou of Jiangyang.
The Dongzhou faction gathered together, and Peng Yi gritted his teeth with hatred now.
"It must be Zhuge Kongming who made a slander in front of the king!"
"Meng Da was forced to rebel by this person!"
"Now that I am too protective of Jiangyang, I am afraid that it will be difficult to return to Chengdu in this life!"
Peng Yi looked at Wu Yi and Wu Ban brothers, these two were his main targets.
"Yongnian, the king's move must have a deep meaning, you just need to fulfill your duties."
Wu Yi knew about Peng Yi's small movements, so he stopped at the point.
Wu Ban also nodded, while they were from the Dongzhou faction, they were now Liu Bei's relatives, so they would definitely not get involved in this matter too much.
"Hehe, it seems that you have already accepted your fate?"
Peng Yi sneered, "Now my Dongzhou faction has no generals in the army who can speak, so I am jealous of the king!" ”
"As long as I contact this person, I will definitely be able to change the status quo of the Dongzhou faction!"
