Liu Chan is not as tasteless as Cao Pi, and he kills the messenger.

Xian Yu went south to Wuhan on the Auxiliary Holding Festival, and while the Han reduced his sense of existence, he also gave courtesy. Not many days later, Xian Yu went to Wuhan on the Auxiliary Support Festival and asked to see Liu Chan and Huo Jun.

In the Wuhan Palace, the court discussed.

Huo Da Sima unloaded his sword and took off the overturn, and entered the hall with a wat board. The left and right Zhuqing all greeted each other with a gentle smile.

After Liu Chan sat on the couch, the monarchs and ministers saluted each other, and the court discussion began.

"Your Majesty, Da Sima!"

Xu Shu got up with a wat board and said: "The affairs of Du'an County, after strict investigation by the ministers, Xiong Jia, the magistrate of Du'an County, is greedy for fun and abandons political affairs; Shang Shulang Xi Yu cheated for personal gain and intercepted the music. Now that the two have confessed, do you want to send them to the Division? ”

"I don't know what crime to deal with?" Liu Chan asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, according to the law, Xiong Jia and Xi Yu should be dismissed from their official positions and punished. According to the old story of the first emperor, the two were sentenced to death to set an example. Xu Shu said.

"No!"

Huo Jun held the wat board and said: "Your Majesty, the minister recommended the prime minister to enter Bashu in the west, lead the army to recruit the barbarian thieves, collect the hearts of the Westerners, establish Nanzhong, set up Ningzhou counties, place county magistrates, and take gold, silver, cattle and horses from Nanzhong for national use." ”

"Prime Minister?"

"Your Majesty, Wang Pingchu went to the Hanjia realm to beg for thieves." Fei Guan Dao.

"The will of the minister is the same as that of Cheng!" Huo Jun said.

"This~"

In addition to this, there are multiple objectives as follows. For example, absorb the Shu sergeants and use the Shu people to govern the south; Split four counties and change Nanzhong to Ningzhou; weaken the power of the natives in Nanzhong and promote the strong in Nanzhong; Rectify the two states of Yi and Liang, and adjust the framework of the three states.

Ma Liang thought about Zhuge Liang and said: "Da Sima, there is a lot of miasma in Nanzhong, with the respect of the prime minister, it is not appropriate to raise troops to go deep into the barren place, it is better to send generals to conquer it now." And the prime minister leaves the dynasty, who can take care of the political affairs in the country? I hope that Sima will think deeply about the candidate, and it is not appropriate to use swords and soldiers. ”

"Your Majesty, with Wang Ping Taozhi, the soldiers and horses of all counties are enough to quell the chaos. However, if you want to win the hearts of the people in the west and establish the southern middle school, it is insufficient. Huo Jun replied.

"According to Da Sima's words, who will be elected to ask for the commander?" Liu Chan asked.

Liu Chan looked at Zhuge Liang and asked what he meant.

Liu Chan looked at Huo and Ge and asked, "What is the opinion of Da Sima and the prime minister?" ”

"Your Majesty, the first emperor has collapsed, and the people of the southern region are different. The roads in Yizhou are blocked, and there have been many thieves since ancient times. In the past, there was the Huang Yuan rebellion in Shu, and then there was the rebellion in the south of the country, so this time the west entered Bashu, the first was to appease the hearts of the people in the western region, and then to conquer the thieves, and then to establish the three states of the western soil. ”

Liu Chan frowned slightly and said, "Where is General Wang Ping?" ”

"Your Majesty, when the first emperor was alive, he hated dereliction of duty and traitors. Now the two are not only derelict in their duties, but also have covered the eyes and ears of the Beijing master, so it is not appropriate to betray them for dereliction of duty, but should be sentenced to death for the crime of rebellion, so as to set an example. Zhuge Liang replied.

Liu Chan, who had just ascended to the throne, knew very little about the border generals except for knowing the Han Shangqing. Wang Ping was selected by Huo Jun, so he naturally wanted to ask Huo Jun.

Zhuge Liang stepped out of the ranks and said: "Now he will enter Bashu, and those who can quell the chaos cannot govern the literature; Those who can govern civilly should not use troops. Da Sima has a heavy responsibility, and it is not appropriate to raise troops lightly. Chen Liang knows the military strategy, and now he is willing to lead the people of the western soil to return to Anbashu and build three states. ”

"From what the Great Sima and the Prime Minister said!"

"Your Majesty, Great Sima. Yizhou military report, Yan Guanghan has a bandit Zhang Mu to make a rebellion, echoing Han Jia Huang Yuan, the county lieutenant Zhang Wei has led the troops to ask for it; The traitors in Shu County are many thieves, and they can't stop guarding Luo Meng. Fei Guan reported.

The rebellion in Pingnanzhong was only one of the goals of this westward expansion.

"Da Sima, can Wang Ping eliminate the chaos of thieves alone?" Liu Chan hesitated a little and asked.

Ma Liang saw that Zhuge Liang was going forward, hesitated a few times, and then retreated to the seat.

Liu Chan hesitated a little and said: "The prime minister led his troops into Shu to rectify the three states of Xitu, or grant the military governor of the three states." And when the prime minister leaves office, who should be responsible for the political affairs of the country? ”

"Your Majesty!"

Huo Jun straightened his back and said, "The prime minister is the minister of the country, and he also records the Shangshu order. This time into Shu, Jun thought that he could divide the Shangshutai with the prime minister into Shu, such as the Beijing division center temporarily in the western soil, so the prime minister could be awarded the Yi, Ning, Liang three states of the Shangshu order. ”

The content of Zhuge Liang's westward march to Bashu cannot simply be said to supervise the military, but to visit Yizhou to guide the work on behalf of the central government or Shangshutai. In this case, the only way to do this is to split Shangshutai and follow it into Shu.

The emergence of the temporary system is the development trend of the current official system. The king did not go on the expedition, but only authorized the ministers to go on the expedition, because the power of the state minister was too large, and the territory under his jurisdiction was too large, so it was necessary to appear in the form of a temporary march.

For example, Li Shimin once served as the secretary of the Eastern Shaanxi Province, and his Eastern Shaanxi Province was like the state of the Han Dynasty; In the case of the Shangshu Order, the central government sent Shangshutai to Eastern Shaanxi Province, and Li Shimin was in charge of the Shangshutai and had the right to manage various sizes in the area.

Liu Chan was stunned, but quickly understood what Huo Jun meant, and said: "And as the Great Sima said, he will be awarded the order of the prime minister of the three states of Xitu to be the secretary of the three states, and the military of the three states will be supervised." ”

"Obey Your Majesty's edict!" Zhuge Liang thanked him.

Sun Shao saw that the time was up, got up and played, and said: "Your Majesty, Da Sima, the anti-Wei sent Xian Yufu to make the envoy go south, and said that he was ordered by the false master, whether to summon him today!" ”

Liu Chan glanced at Huo Jun and immediately said, "Xuan Xian Yu Fu entered the palace to meet you!" ”

"No!"

Shaoqing, who waited outside the palace for a long time, Xian Yufu, holding the talismans, carrying official documents, tended to enter the hall.

"The northerners are rarely in the auxiliary to meet the king!"

Xian Yufu did not kneel and bow, but only bowed down and bowed in greeting.

Seeing that he was rarely in the auxiliary line like this, Liu Chan's face was slightly displeased, and Zhang Fei, who was impatient, was already cold-eyed.

"This time the southern envoy Han, I don't know what happened to Qing?" Liu Chan calmed down and asked.

"Go back to your lord!"

Xian Yufu's face was calm, and he said: "My lord knows that your noble Liu Gong died of illness, and he specially ordered Fu to go south as an envoy. One is to mourn the ancestors of your country to show mourning; Second, for the good of the world, I am willing to divide the territory with your country and rule the world together! ”

"What?"

As soon as Xian Yufu said this, the Chinese Wu of the Temple was surprised. They never thought that Cao Pi would send Xian Yufu to the south, divide the territory with the Han Dynasty, and rule the world together.

Huo Jun's eyes narrowed slightly, and then looked at Zhuge Liang opposite.

Zhuge Liang was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect Cao Pi to make such a request.

Liu Chan frowned, and when he saw that Huo and Ge didn't speak, he immediately said: "The northern kingdom takes the artifact of the Han Dynasty, and after I inherit the two Han Dynasty, how can the two kingdoms stand side by side!" ”

Xian Yufu arched his hand to Liu Chan and said: "The north and the south have been divided for many years, and the soldiers have been fighting all year round, and the people are ruined, and the people are not living. My lord has the virtue of a good life, and when he heard that Liu Gong died, he was willing to abandon his previous suspicions, calm down the soldiers, and make the world no longer fight, and the people would not suffer from war. ”

"Ahem~"

Huo Jun cleared his throat and asked, "The Northern Lord is willing to quell the war with my country, but I don't know what to ask for?" ”

Xian Yufu followed the prestige and asked, "But Huo Du?" ”

"Yes!"

"Fu heard Huo Du's prestige early, and I am fortunate to see it today!"

Xian Yufu said: "I say that your country will divide the two counties of Huaibei and Pi and Donghai, and I am willing to divide and rule with your country in the future." It is bounded by the Qinling Mountains in the west, the Hanshui River in the middle, and Shouchun and Sikou in the east. Exchange businessmen, no more war. ”

Hearing this, Huang Quan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Why don't you take Huaishui as the boundary in the east, I will cut Pi and the East China Sea, and your country will cut Shouchun and Yiyang." The west is bounded by mountains, and the middle and east are bounded by Han and Huai, so don't they have their own gains?"

"Haha!"

Huang Quan's words caused Zhang Fei to laugh.
