Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 658 Zhuge
Outside the house, heavy snow is falling, and the snow is deep; inside the pavilion, the heat from the smoker hits, and the warmth is compelling.

Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang were in the pavilion, making tea around the stove and chatting.

Since Liu Chan came to the throne, his favorite thing is to chat with Zhuge Liang about world affairs when he has nothing to do.As a rare wise man in this era, Liu Chan is often beneficial to talk with him.

Zhuge Liang is familiar with the learning of a hundred schools of thought, but he never sticks to the thinking of a hundred schools of thought.As far as governing the country is concerned, Zhuge Liang focuses on practicality.

Once Liu Chan asked Zhuge Liang to govern the country and learn from a hundred schools of thought, and he loved the words of the He family most.

Zhuge Liang once said that if it is suitable, it should be used, and if it is not suitable, it should not be used.For example, he believes that 'Lao Tzu is good at cultivating character, so he should not be in danger. 'At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Lao Huang's theory should be used to reduce officials and govern the country and the people.But when the country is in crisis, such as Emperor Wu and the end of Han Dynasty, it should not be used, and it is difficult to stop.

Regarding the words of the Legalists, Zhuge Liang believed that "Shang Yang is good at reasoning and law, so he should not be educated." 'Able to govern the country according to the law, but not good at educating and influencing the people ideologically.

Zhuge Liang has commented on military strategists, strategists and other studies, emphasizing that governing the country should be the elder of a hundred schools of thought.Of course, Zhuge Liang's thoughts are not without sources, and the theory can be traced back to Guan Zhongqi's legalist theory.

Generally speaking, in Liu Chan's eyes, Zhuge Liang is an extremely rational politician who doesn't stick to formalities. In his eyes, there is only the difference between "useful" and "not useful".For example, when Liu Chan proposed to give Sun Quan the emperor's etiquette in exchange for Sun Quan sending troops, Zhuge Liang agreed.

Of course, personally, he is a person who has strict requirements on his own morality, and one or two points can be seen from teaching his son Zhuge Qiao.

Zhuge Liang coughed a few times, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty's words are also reasonable, I am old now!"

After the incident of Wei Yanshen and Deng Ai, Liu Chan was not idle, and sent people to ask the soldiers of both sides in detail.It's okay if you don't understand, but once you understand Liu Chan, you won't calm down.If it is true that a hero is born from great achievements, a second generation who has not made great achievements under the influence of his father dared to call for a siege in front of everyone. If Wei Yan hadn't stopped him, what would have happened?

After a long time, Liu Chan put down the teacup and said: "After the fifteenth day, I want to drive back to the capital. I don't know if Xiangfu's body can survive such a trip?"

Zhuge Liang sighed and said, "I'm afraid it will make people talk about it!"

General Ma Dai of Zhenxi moved to General Zuo.

In addition to seeing the memorials of Wang Pingbiao Zhoutai and Wei Hu, Liu Chan couldn't help but give up the idea of ​​appointing Wei Yan as General Wei.After all, apart from Wu Banyin's status as a relative, General Wei has the highest status.

Wei Yan, the left general, moved to the former general.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"

……

……

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was also moved, Liu Chan directly decided to say: "It's nothing, Xiangfu has worked so hard, and now he returns to Longzhong to recover from his illness, saving the trouble of writing paperwork, and he may recover. And the Prime Minister is here, and he can also guide Lu Zhi in governing. "

The general who conquered the east was sentenced to help, and the general who moved to the east of the town.

It's a pity that Zhuge Liang has gradually aged and suffered from illnesses in recent years, which made Liu Chan feel a little sad.

Pingyi General Xiang Yu was promoted to General Xixi.

Deng Ai, General of Zhenbei, was promoted to General of the Right.

In the early years, Zhuge Liang wrote military books, but they were passed on to his private disciples for use.But after being known by Liu Chan, he implicitly expressed the hope that Zhuge Liang could revise the current art of war and add details on how to govern the army, instead of just talking about theory in general without methods.After it was written, it was provided to the lieutenant generals of the Han army to study and pass on to later generations.

Wang Ping, a former general, was promoted to General Wei.

Liu Chan didn't speak, but showed Zhuge Liang another list. This list of guard generals was Wei Yan, and Wang Ping only rewarded some food towns without any changes.

General Fu Xun who conquered the South was granted the title of Marquis of Xingting of the Han Dynasty.

But Zhuge Liang raised his head to look at Liu Chan and asked, "Your Majesty, why did you just tell me about this matter today!"

After Zhuge Liang was silent for a long time, he nodded in agreement, took out 24 scrolls from the bamboo box on the ground, put them on the case, and said: "Your Majesty once told the ministers to write military books to leave to the generals. Today's special book "24 Art of War" to offer."

Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and didn't have much objection. He just stopped at the official positions of Wang Ping and Wei Yan, and said: "The chief minister of this campaign has made outstanding achievements. Now, instead of promoting Wang Ping and moving him to the former general, I'm afraid it will make him uncomfortable. Joy."

In general, Zhuge Liang's "24 Chapters" is divided into three parts, and each part corresponds to different content.The first eight volumes are mostly about formations, army management, and marching matters. The middle eight volumes describe the strategies of generals and the explanations of the battle cases. The last eight volumes are about how to become a senior general.

Therefore, after Liu Chan thought about it, he decided to re-appoint Wang Ping as General Wei, promote Wei Yan to the position of former general, and give more food to Wang Ping to overwhelm Wei Yan.Even if Wei Yan is dissatisfied, he can only complain instead of taking major actions.

Zhuge Liang put down the ginseng tea, took the towel and silk, and looked at it.

As for the invasion of Jingnan, it will take a year or two until the warships are launched and the navy takes shape before they can fight.Moreover, the internal response that Zhuge Qiao has recruited has some clues and is still looking for it.And if you have the mature conditions, you can't be savage if you win the first battle.

Zhuge Liang coughed heavily, and said, "It's not impossible if you want to go back to the country, but I'm afraid it will delay your majesty's schedule."

Wu Ban, the general who conquered the East, was promoted to the general of chariots and cavalry.

Liu Chan pursed his lips, and said: "Father Xiang is sick, why not recuperate in Longzhong for now, and send Xiangfu's family to take care of him. And Zhuge Qiao is in Hannan, so he can also visit Xiangfu."

However, Wei Yan didn't consider Deng Zhong's young age and his friendship with the generals, so he didn't pursue it. Instead, he took the initiative to make this matter a big deal, which made Liu Chan quite displeased.

Liu Chan picked up the teacup and said slowly: "Father Xiang is sick, so I don't want to think about what Xiangfu thinks. Now that the investigation has been completed, I will tell you together, which can save some effort."

Chen Dao, General of Zhengxi, was promoted to General of Zhenxi.

Zhuge Liang took it, read it again, saw the content of Wei Yanshen and Deng Ai, and then read the statements of other people, he couldn't help feeling angry, coughed and said: "The world is not at peace, so there are such things It happened, if the world is peaceful and full of achievements, I don’t know how arrogant these people will be.”

Faced with Liu Chan's request, Zhuge Liang readily agreed to revise the outline written before, adding details, improving the outline, and writing the book of war in a more easy-to-understand language.In addition, formation patterns have been added to the catalog to illustrate how to arrange battle formations.

After all, Zhuge Liang's body gradually became seriously ill, and the next leaders are nothing more than these people.If Wei Yan is appointed as General Wei, it will cause changes in the court situation.

Hearing this, Liu Chan was stunned. This was the first time that Zhuge Liang had shown in front of him that he was old and obedient to his own thoughts. He didn't know what to say, so he had to drink tea to fill the peace between the two of them.

With the end of the military discussion and the pacification of people's hearts, the army has returned to China one after another, and Liu Chan is also preparing to return to Chengdu.

Liu Chan smiled and said nothing, and sent out Wei Yanshen and Deng Ai's memorabilia and other people's statements. At the same time, he also took out Wang Ping's recommendation of Wei Hu and Zhou Tai, and showed them to Zhuge Liang. .

Zhuge Liang, who had read all of them, also understood Liu Chan's thoughts, and agreed, saying: "Zijun is modest in temperament, strict in running the army, and he can be harmonious with his subordinates, or he can take care of it. Wenchang's temperament is perverse. Although he is restrained, he also has shortcomings. .Today, the overall situation is the top priority. By pulling out the uniform and suppressing the length of the text, the situation in the army can be stabilized.”

"Father Xiang, you have worked hard!" Liu Chan said in a warm voice after taking over the Art of War.

Liu Chan took out the list of rewards from his cuff, handed it to Zhuge Liang, and said, "Father Xiang, this is the list of officers and men who will be rewarded this time. I wonder if Father Xiang has any objections?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head, and said with a smile: "Why do you say hard work? This is the stupid opinion of an old minister. If it can help the great man and make the great man strong, then the minister will be enough. I'm afraid that the minister will be ignorant and misunderstood. Yea!"

"Father Xiang is too modest. Father Xiang is a stranger in the world. It will be beneficial for others to learn from him." Liu Chan boasted.

"Hehe~"

(Happy Lantern Festival, I wish you all a happy reunion~)
