Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 949

When Lan Tian heard that the order was wrong, why was he listed as the head of civil servants?He found Liu Bei alone after the dynasty was over, and expressed that he was willing to accompany him to the last seat.

Liu Bei said with a leisurely smile, "I don't know who has contributed the most? If Ziyu is placed at the bottom, how will the courtiers think of me?"

"A worthy minister."

Lan Tian wanted to argue, but Liu Bei interrupted: "I know that Ziyu has always been modest, but in the past it was for the enemy to see. Now that the overall situation of the world has been decided, why should you wrong yourself?"

"Your Majesty, if you want to insist, you must at least put the prime minister ahead of the minister, otherwise the minister will only be ashamed and become an official." Seeing that Liu Bei was very determined, Lan Tian could only make some concessions.

"The talent of Kong Ming is indeed rare in the world, but I think Qing's contribution is greater. Why does Ziyu admire Kong Ming so much?" Liu Bei was puzzled.

Lan Tian had a bitter face, and said to himself that if you have been since 2000, you will know why I am so persistent. He thought for a while and replied solemnly: "It is more difficult to defend the country than to fight the country. Your majesty knows the complicated situation in Yizhou best. The prime minister can take care of it." To be in perfect order, and to organize soldiers and horses to perfectly quell the Nanman rebellion, Kong Ming is really a great talent who allows both words and martial arts, only he can lead the big man to the light."

Liu Bei frowned, and sighed: "Sometimes I really don't understand you. You are the best in the world, but you are so humble, and you don't care about power. Does Ziyu want to be a saint?"

"Saints are illusory, but I should still be a mortal down-to-earth." Lan Tian bowed solemnly.

"Forget it, I can't hold you back." Seeing this, Liu Bei could only compromise.

On the second day of the edict, all the officials lined up to enter the Qilin Pavilion to pay their respects. Zhuge Liang found that his portrait was the first on the left. Except for himself and Lan Tian who switched positions, the rest of the people were in the same position as in the edict yesterday.

Zhuge Liang asked Liu Bei in private to ask why, and Liu Bei told the whole story about Lan Tian's recommendation. After hearing this, Zhuge was even more confused. He recalled that from the time he came out of the mountain to the present, Lan Tian's reverence for him was just like Lai Gong's respect for Lan Tian. So natural, is this sympathy?

All the officials looked at the portraits and compared the ten ministers of the dragon and the tiger. There were countless envious eyes in the Qilin Pavilion, and there were countless words of praise. Suddenly, someone found that Huang Zhong, one of the five tigers, was not there.

Zhuge Liang frowned and analyzed: "General Huang's complexion was very bad yesterday. Is there something wrong with his body? After all, he is so old?"

"No way? He claimed to have drunk too much yesterday." After Liu Bei finished speaking, he didn't believe it.

"Don't look at it as it is." Lan Tian reminded.

"I'm quick on my feet, so I'll go first."

Zhang Fei turned around and was about to leave, but Liu Bei hurriedly called out: "Third Brother, wait a moment, I will go with you."

Liu Bei wanted to visit Huang Zhong in person, and all the civil and military personnel who came to visit in the Qilin Pavilion scrambled to go, and finally selected a dozen colleagues who had good friends with Huang Zhong.

When everyone arrived at Huang Zhong's mansion, Huang Zhong, the general who conquered the west, had already passed away.

Huang Zhong had a hard time before going to the hall yesterday, but his complexion suddenly improved this morning. After breakfast, he ordered his servants to put on a cloak for him, and then he closed his eyes and sat upright in the main hall. Everyone in the house thought he was sitting up and fell asleep. up.

Liu Bei brought people to Huang's mansion, and when he sent someone to call Huang Zhong, his body had become icy cold, he had no breath, and he didn't know when he passed away.

After Huang Zhong's sudden death, Liu Bei returned to the palace sadly after paying homage to his remains, and asked Taiwei Fazheng to attend to his funeral.

At night, Fazheng entered the palace to face the saint, and sent Huang Zhong's suicide note to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei unfolded the letter and wrote: "Huang Zhong was fortunate to meet His Majesty, so that he could show his ambitions. It is really a kindness from the emperor to be included in the five tigers. The old minister is alone and has nothing to entrust. All the gifts from His Majesty will be returned to the country. Today we know." The deadline is approaching, so I bid farewell to you with this book. May my lord be young forever, and my minister Huang Zhong bows his head.

"Admiral Five Tigers, one person is missing so soon." Liu Bei shook his head and sighed while holding the suicide note, and later pursued Huang Zhong as Ganghou.

Chang'an had a series of major events within two months, and in a blink of an eye, it was late summer and early autumn, and the military generals were gearing up to prepare for the expedition. Because important officials from all over the country came to Beijing to become officials, Liu Bei made adjustments to the governors.

Left General Wu Yi succeeded Zhuge Liang as Yizhou Inspector; Zhenxi General Zhao Yunsheng Zhendong General Inspector Qingzhou; Zhenbei General Wei Yan in Youzhou Inspector; Pingxi General Pang De succeeded Zhao Yun as Liangzhou Inspector; Promoted to work in Yizhou, Yang Hong became the governor of Jingzhou; Deng Ai, captain of Changshui, was transferred to the prefect of Hanoi
After a long period of exploration, the Dasinong's Mansion was in operation. The young people he transferred from Jiaozhou became the backbone of the Dasinong's Mansion with their rigorous work style and excellent work ability, blowing a wave of enthusiasm into the old officialdom in the capital. A breeze.

At the end of August, news came from Hebei that Cao Pi died of illness in Yecheng at the beginning of the month.

Zhang He was sent back to Wei State, Zhuge Liang's words became a prophecy, Cao Pi was so angry that he fell ill on the spot, he died after two months of medical treatment, and left an edict to pass on the throne to Pingyuan King Cao Rui.

Cao Rui was only 22 years old at the time, and Cao Pi originally left him three auxiliary ministers, Hua Xin, Chen Qun, and Xin Pi.

In the past few years, the generals of the Cao Wei clan have withered badly. The general of the Chinese army, Cao Zhen, was trapped in Hexi and there is no news. The reason why Cao Pi died was that when he learned that Huainan had fallen, he was angry with personal grievances and gave Xia Houshang's favorite concubine to death.

Liu Bei's soldiers were strong, and the Wei State could not live without a commander. Cao Rui, on the suggestion of the Empress Dowager Bian, re-appointed Cao Hong as the Grand Sima and General to control the country's soldiers and horses. Soldiers and horses; the concubine Xia Houmao was appointed as the general who conquered the west, and the military affairs of the state, and Xiahou Ru was named the general who conquered the south, and the military guards of Qing, Xu, and Yu defended the Han army in Huainan.

None of the three are qualified generals, and Xia Houmao has no ability to command troops, and Cao Rui has no one to use.

In order to make up for the number of four auxiliary ministers, Cao Pi also left a secret edict to Cao Rui alone, and left the extremely capable "Marquis of Wu" Sima Zhao to his son.

Sima Zhao looks more handsome after trauma, and his age is also very close to Cao Rui. He is Cao Rui's favorite "assistant minister", and he was promoted to Zhongchang, whose status is higher than that of the original Xiaohuangmen. Sima Zhao once again turned to Wei Guo The center of rights moves closer.

Yecheng is one of the places where the crime of Sima's family took place. Sima Zhao became a celebrity around Cao Rui, and his power has greatly increased. He has more means to re-investigate the events of the year, and he is more and more able to uncover the truth through the fog.

Cao Pi died of illness, Wei Guo will be in turmoil, Liu Bei will not give up the great opportunity.

At the beginning of September, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao attacked Bingzhou with [-] troops from Hanoi. Guan Yu's Jingzhou army went out to Luoyang to attack Yanzhou. Zhao Yun and Wei Yan sent troops to Runan to help Gan Ning take Yuzhou, and then transferred to Xuzhou to take Qingzhou; The ship sailed along the Huai River to advance towards Xuzhou.

The Han army attacked in an all-round way, and the morale of all the soldiers was high.

Yuzhou and Xuzhou, which Xia Houru was in charge of, collapsed first. In October of the first year of Yanyao, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan captured Runan;

In November, Lu Xun captured the entire territory of Xiapi, and Xia Houru was chased into Qingzhou by the trapped army; in December, the Jingzhou army captured the entire territory of Puyang and Yanzhou in the east county, and Guan Yu stationed troops on Baima and Hushi Hebei.

In less than four months, there was only Qingzhou, a single seedling, left in the south of the Yellow River in Wei State.
