Jiang Wei met Chen Tai for the first time.

Although the two have fought in the past, they have never had the opportunity to meet.

Jiang Wei looked at Chen Tai, who was dressed as a scribe in front of him, but there was not much touch in his eyes.

Chen Tai opened his mouth at this moment and said: "You don't have to be in a hurry to die, people who want to die, others just want to save it, but they can't save it, it's better to meet your majesty with my family." ”

"If you want to die, you have to know what kind of person you died in, right?"

Jiang Wei was still silent and didn't say a word, but Chen Tai didn't say anything more, just let people take him into the city.

returned to Hanzhong again, but as a prisoner, Jiang Wei didn't know how to feel in his heart.

Jiang Wei didn't seem to have the restraint and uneasiness of a defeated general.

He wasn't even scared much.

He tilted his head and stared indifferently at the road ahead.

The shackles of his hands and feet collided violently as he walked.

Like a triumphant general, he walked up the steps steadily, and finally stood in front of Cao Chao.

There were many generals sitting around Cao Chao, and these people stared at the old man with all kinds of anger, distortions, fears, and embarrassments.

Jiang Wei's hair was already gray, and his emaciated face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were still sharp, looking directly at the emperor in front of him.

Cheng Ji was furious and was about to step forward, but Cao Chao stretched out his hand and motioned for him to step back.

"Jiang Wei, Jiang Boyo."

Cao Chao looked at the old general in front of him, he was probably the most famous person in the post-Three Kingdoms era and was respected by the most descendants.

"The Lord of Shu has surrendered, and the people you want to assist are gone, why don't you return to me?"

Jiang Wei still didn't answer.

Cao Chao shook his head, "I know that you wrote a letter to Liu Chan and wanted to help him build a great cause again, but Liu Chan may not be able to understand your affection, no matter how much you do, he will not feel that you are a loyal minister who can be relied on In his eyes, you may not be as good as that Huang Hao." ”

"Is such a person really worth your death?"

"Under my command, you have a great opportunity to display your talents, make meritorious achievements, and be worshiped by future generations."

Jiang Wei finally opened his mouth.

"Lord Wei Haojie, I don't want to humiliate him, but you can give me a death."

Cao Chao looked at the surrounding ministers, "How can this Liu Chan be able to get such a talented service?"

He looked at Jiang Wei again, "Since you don't want to live, then I won't be reluctant to give you good wine." ”

"In addition, you don't have to worry about the future, your clan, you won't be questioned."

"Your wife, I support herself."

Jiang Wei had a family in Shu, and of course, he also had a family when he surrendered to Shu.

After he ran away, Cao Wei did not pursue his family's crimes, nor did he embarrass his mother.

Later, Jiang Wei had a wife and heirs in Shu, and during the Chengdu Rebellion, they were all killed.

In this day and age, it is not a curse to talk about raising other people's wives.

This does not mean that they should be brought back to bed to be raised, but that they should not be starved, that they should be raised until adulthood, and that they should be given jobs.

Even if it is pulled to the bed to raise, it is better than letting them starve to death and be killed, anyway, in the Wei and Jin dynasties, remarriage is not too serious, not to mention having a clan to take care of, when the main heart dies, those clans will often divide their property and land, maybe the child can live, but the life experience must not be too good.

When Jiang Wei heard this, he finally bowed his head towards Cao Chao, probably, this can be regarded as a thank you.

The armorers then pulled Jiang Wei out of here.

Zhang Hua sighed secretly, it's a pity.

Jiang Wei was taken to an empty dwelling, the armor soldiers stood around him, and Chen Tai brought wine from nowhere and placed it in front of him.

Chen Tai untied his water bag.

"When you are still in the army, you can't drink alcohol, so you will replace it with water."

Jiang Wei picked up the poisonous wine in front of him, and without the slightest hesitation, drank it all.

Chen Tai also put his water bag to his mouth, drank it directly, and then wiped his mouth, without the reserve of a scribe at all.

Chen Tai was about to say something, but Jiang Wei directly picked up the wine jug and began to drink it to his mouth.

Chen Tai was dumbfounded.

Jiang Wei threw away the wine jug that had been drunk in his hand and looked at Chen Tai in front of him.

"I can't do it, it's destiny!!"

The corners of Jiang Wei's mouth suddenly overflowed with blood, and then he shook and fell to the ground, his eyes wide with anger.

Chen Tai let out a long sigh, slowly walked to his side, and knelt aside, "The death of Shu Han is because its monarch is mediocre and detached, not the fault of the general. ”

Then, he reached out and closed Jiang Wei's eyes.

Shu Han perished.

Cao Chao has a lot to do in Hanzhong, and Jiang Wei's death just made him sigh.

Jiang Wei is unwilling to surrender, he has the will to die, no matter what Cao Chao does to such a person, he can't keep him, can he still tie him up, gag him, and imprison him in the mansion as a landscape?

That's a little too cruel.

Since Jiang Wei wants to die, then give him the respect he deserves and let him continue to pursue what he wants to pursue.

Cao Chao met with some local clansmen.

Speaking of which, these big clans were extremely eager for Cao Chao's attitude, and even when they first met, they began to complain, talking about how difficult it was for them to be under Liu Chan's rule.

Cao Chao didn't mock them, but just said that he would practice benevolent government and show grace to Shu.

When talking with the ministers, Chen Tai also talked about the pacification of Shu.

Chen Tai said: "Your Majesty, the taxes of Shu were too frequent in the past, and this time you can exempt them from taxes for one year by taking Shu land, and you can take those borderless lands, expand the public land, and then recruit homeless refugees, follow the model of Jingzhou and Qingji, and rent and plant." ”

"The local big clans are strong, don't care too much, these people have already been defeated, just forcibly relocate them to the Central Plains and take back their cultivated land here."

Zhang Hua had a different opinion, he said: "You can collect the borderless land, and the cultivated land of the big clan itself is better not to touch." ”

"What Chen Gong said is very reasonable, but now, the state of Wu has not yet perished, the local clans of the state of Wu are very strong, they are watching the situation here at the moment, if they just take the state of Shu, they will seize the land of the big clan and forcibly collect it as public land, which will definitely cause the Wu people to be frightened."

"The most elite army of the Wu State is the private soldiers of those big clans, if the Wu people are stimulated because of this incident and let them resist with all their might, it will not be beautiful."

"It's better to slow down for a while, wait until you take the state of Wu, and then plan together."

When the two talked about it, Cao Chao couldn't help but think of Zhong Hui's proposal.

Zhong Hui also said something similar.

However, he wanted to move the Central Plains clan over.

Cao Chao was not in a hurry to give them a conclusion, of course, tax exemptions and other preferential treatments should still be given, not to mention anything else, at least let the local people know that under the governance of the new emperor, their life will definitely be better than before.

And there are many more problems that need to be solved, first of all, the problem of the state.

Regional planning of Bashu.

Bashu is too big, if it is just a simple state, I am afraid it is not suitable.

Let only one assassin manage it, and he will have to die of exhaustion or subdivision when he runs from Nanzhong to Hanzhong.

Cao Chao even wanted to divide the Yongliang area in detail.

After all, the threat from Shu has decreased, and the policy over there should be appropriately adjusted.

And after the division of the region, the history of the thorns and the county guards in various places have to be solved by Cao Chao himself.

Even if Cao Chao trusts these surrendered ministers and county guards, it is impossible for them to continue to serve as his original officials, it is simply crazy.

In Cao Chao's conception, no matter how little Shu has to be divided into two states, and the candidates for the two assassins are enough to give people a headache, not to mention those county guards.

Cao Chao has been thinking about the list of personnel appointments for the past few days.

It was at this time that Chen Qian finally approached Hanzhong with many captives.

Liu Chan sat in the carriage, and the carriage kept shaking, which made Liu Chan extremely painful.

This road is really difficult to walk, even if it is an official road, it is the same, under such shaking, Liu Chan can't even eat food.

He couldn't help but call Chen Qian and told him about it.

Chen Qian said calmly: "Lord Shu, this road, the soldiers of Shu have walked repeatedly for so many years, and they have not fallen for a year, and the Lord of Shu has only walked once, so why complain?" ”

"You don't have to worry, after going to Luoyang this time, you won't come back to take such a difficult road, the road in Luoyang is exceptionally smooth."

Hearing this, Liu Chan immediately fell silent, not daring to say anything.

Huang Hao sat awkwardly on the side, seeing that Liu Chan was so scolded by Chen Qian, but he was no longer as brave as he was on weekdays, he went up and bitten, he didn't even dare to say bad things about Chen Qian, and at this moment he just comforted: "Your Majesty, and bear with it for a while." ”

The carriage was still shaking, and Liu Chan sat in the carriage in a daze.

Suddenly, he asked:

"That's how they set out to conquer Wei?"

Huang Hao fell silent and did not speak.

Liu Chan asked again, "Where is Jiang Wei at the moment?" ”

Huang Hao still didn't answer.

The ministers followed behind Liu Chan, the older ones could still ride in the car, and the rest of the people were about to ride horses, and these people walked on the road, complaining and complaining.

Deng Ai walked in the forefront, with a proud face, Chen Qian didn't talk to him along the way.

They rushed all the way to Hanzhong, and when Liu Chan got out of the carriage, he almost threw up.

He had never suffered such a sin in his life.

And many veterans and ministers, such as Liao Hua Zongpre, or like Qian Zhou, are also extremely tired at the moment.

Older people, on such a steep road, basically lose their lives after walking once.

And some people, at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, have walked this road many times, and they have never complained.
