Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

The 17th year of Jianxing, the first month.

Liu Chan, who had been on an expedition for a year, also returned to Chengdu from Xiangyang, boarded a boat from Xiangyang, and traveled all the way on the Shuohan River to Hanzhong. When the water was turbulent, it was quite hard work for the trackers to pull the boat by the river.But fortunately, there are quite a few such river basins, and it is the middle of winter, and the river has not risen, so it is not difficult to go retrograde.

On the tower boat, the boatmen shouted chant in unison, rowed the boat with their strong arms, the oars entered the water, and then came out of the water in a uniform order, driving the tower boat through the Hanshui River.

When talking about Ankang and Shangyong in the Second East County (now Ankang, Shiyan, and Zhushan), everyone's first impression is that it is an isolated, barren land, and it is also a barbaric land.

But in fact, due to the different times, it needs to be discussed separately.The East Second County belongs to the Yong State, and the Hanshui River developed in the Spring and Autumn Period. Due to the lack of salt in Jingzhou, Badi is rich in salt. Merchants in Badi will first go north to Hanshui, and then go south from Hanshui to sell salt in Chu people.As a result, the ports along the Han River became rich and gradually formed towns.

Either the people of Chu peeped at the profit of salt transportation, or they were afraid of the power of the mediocre, so they sent troops to destroy the mediocre and became Hanzhong County of Chu State.

When the world is peaceful, the Donger County in the mountainous area is unknown, and the only thing that can communicate with Bajing is the shipping function.But in the troubled times, the three eastern counties were completely different. Because they were located in mountainous areas, they were quite remote and rugged, and became a paradise.

Nanyang's military turmoil broke out, and a large number of people either moved south to Jingzhou, or went west to live in Shangyong.During the war in Guanzhong, in addition to some people living in Hanzhong and Bashu, a small number of people lived in Shangyong.

It is precisely because of the remote areas in everyone's impression that Zhang Lu and Cao Cao did not directly manage them, but Shen Dan and Shen Yi brothers gathered together for self-government, and later Meng Da also participated.

Shixincheng, Shangyong, and Fangling counties have a population of more than 20, nearly 12 households, and nearly [-] people.Sima Yi destroyed Mengda and directly moved more than [-] families of the original Mengda tribe into Youzhou.After Wang Ping conquered Shangyong, he also acquired more than [-] to [-] families of the Shen clan, and later occupied three counties, with a total of about [-] people.

Bu Zhi led more than 300 people to attack Yong'an. Before Deng Zhi came to help, Chen Dao recruited [-] warriors from the city, took advantage of the strong wind and entered the enemy camp, beheaded Bu Zhi's eldest son, Bu Xie, and returned with a big victory.

In the case of Ankang, the counties and townships below it were more or less included in Zhuge Liang's Shiyi, and the Shiyi of Zhuge Liang's Wuxiang County Marquis has also accumulated to [-] households.Although Zhuge Liang refused to accept it many times, Liu Chan suppressed it with the words, "If you don't accept it, how dare the generals accept it".

The current generals of the Han Dynasty are the former general Wei Yan, the left general Ma Dai, the right general Deng Ai, and the rear general Yuan Wei.

As for Deng Ai, when he was young, he followed Wang Ping thousands of miles away and killed Zhang Xi. Under the situation at the time, the young Deng Ai was ready to give up, but he didn't expect that Wang Ping could turn against the wind and attack Liangzhou. It cannot but be said to be a stroke of genius.

In response, Guan Xing presented Zhuge Liang's memorandum, and said, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, please retire from the post of Yizhou pastor, and recommend the minister to order Jiang Wan to be the governor of Yizhou and take charge of Yizhou affairs."

The higher-ups need to follow his hair, but also to suppress him and praise him at the right time.

Over the years, Liu Chan has also grasped Wei Yan's temperament. He is a man of great talent and is loyal to the Han Dynasty, but he doesn't care about the importance of his words, and he can say whatever he wants, and at the same time, he does it rashly.

Chen Dao fought bravely and defended the Eastern Frontier for more than ten years. His achievements are outstanding, and he is fully worthy of the position of General Zhenxi.

Liu Chan nodded slightly, and ordered: "Order people to send a jug of fine wine, Zijun and Wenchang, and tell the former general that the people who have drunk this wine should belong to the Prime Minister, Taiwei, General Wei and Qing Ye. .”

Wang Ping attacked Zhang He to stabilize the situation in Longxi; cut Zhang He to attack Liangzhou; went east twice to conquer the land of the three counties.Apart from Zhuge Liang and Huang Quan, Wang Ping's achievements so far are the most outstanding, followed by Wei Yan.Otherwise, Wei Yan would not accept Wang Ping as General Wei.

"I took my late father as an example and tried to persuade him with kind words. Only then did the former general come to his senses and happily return to Guanzhong to serve in Guanzhong." Guan Xing said.

Comparing him with Guan Yu this time, Guan Xing undoubtedly gave Wei Yan enough face, and Liu Chan gave Wei Yan more face and liking by giving him wine.It means that you are in the ranks of Zhuge Liang, Huang Quan, and Wang Ping in my mind, and other generals are simply not comparable.

When Wei Yan was on an expedition to Hehuang, Liu Chan gave him enough face and personally bowed down, first delivering books, and then leading his horse and riding for him.It gave him a great sense of satisfaction. At that time, he played a big victory, which shocked Hehuang and laid the foundation for the future attack on Liangzhou.

"That's right!" Liu Chan recalled Chen Dao from Yong'an, and said, "Chen Zhenxi made great contributions in retreating from Wu, and was granted the title of Marquis of the Capital. He also gave me a great cloak as an honor."

There are very few counties in Dahan with a population of 10.As the governor guarding the three eastern counties, Jufu's reputation is not obvious, but his status is not low.

"Hmm!" Liu Chan leaned on the table and asked, "With Wang Ping as the general of the guard, are there any dissatisfaction among the generals?"

This time Wang Ping went out to challenge Nanyang, he basically followed Liu Chan's side, and rarely had the opportunity to do his own work alone.From the perspective of the battle achievements this time, Wang Ping's success as the General of the Guards is indeed a little bit worse, but from the past results, there is no problem with Wang Ping's appointment.

After the Great Han pacified Nanyang this time, the position of Ankang Governor was also removed from the official position of the Great Han. The former Governor Ju was promoted to the four towns and served as the Governor of Nanyang to resist Cao Wei.And a county of this size was also divided into two by Liu Chan, namely Ankang and Shangyong.

However, Zhuge Liang often put the output of eight thousand households into the army as military rations, or reduced or exempted the local people in Ankang from taxes.I dress plainly, and according to the prime minister, he can occupy fifty hectares of land, but he only occupies fifteen hectares of land.

When Deng Zhi led the army to arrive, Bu Zhi withdrew after hearing the news. At this time, Chen Dao led the soldiers in the city to stand out and seize a large amount of military supplies from Bu Zhi's troops.

Liu Chan smiled, put the memorial on the case, and asked disapprovingly, "What's next?"

After Guan Xing saluted, he knelt down on the couch and said: "Your Majesty, all the generals in the army are quite happy, but the former general was furious and once scolded, 'Your son is in the same rank as a certain one, and I am ashamed of the old man'. "

With Wei Yan's personality, there is a high probability that he will take out this jug of wine and share it with the generals in Guanzhong, bragging about how the emperor treats him with favor.

Among the four, Wei Yannian was in his [-]s, Ma Dai was also close to [-], Yuan Chen was over [-], and only Deng Ai was around [-].Now Wei Yan's scolding, "Ru Zi is in the same rank as a certain one, shames the old man", is similar to the meaning of Guan Yu's scolding, "A man will never be in the same rank as a veteran".

Liu Chan took the memorial, read the content above, and then wrote the following.The letter stated that the big man has to be the prime minister to be safe, so there is no need to ask him to retire as the state shepherd, and Wang Qing can recover from his illness with peace of mind.The political affairs of Yizhou are in charge of Jiang Wan, while the military affairs are in charge of me.If there are difficult government affairs, discuss them in depth, and if there are any unresolved matters, they will still be controlled by Qing.

In the spacious boat house, Liu Chan knelt on the couch, holding the memorabilia in his hand, saw Guan Xing coming in, and said, "An Guo, what do you think of this reward?"

"promise!"

Guan Xing pondered a little, and said: "Your Majesty, everyone has no objection, but agrees with General Wei's succession. General You praised: "General Wei is loyal, brave and vigilant. He has the strategy of a general, and the country is lucky." After General Wei took office, he patrolled the frontiers and refined his soldiers, but nothing changed."

Liu Chan understands Zhuge Liang's intention to abdicate to let the virtuous, but Liu Chan also has his own considerations. Zhuge Liang is not an ordinary minister, and the succession needs to be carried out slowly.Don't be too eager, and the big Han officials who don't know the truth will think that Liu Chan is going to attack Zhuge Liang.

"promise!"

After Guan Xing withdrew, Liu Chan relied on his credentials to think about the next state affairs.

Next, the main task of the big man is to recuperate and recuperate, to alleviate the sequelae caused by repeated battles.The second is to discuss the specific strategy of defeating Wu, how many troops to send, and how many routes to send.

Finally, it is necessary to plan ahead and consider the political system that the great man will adopt after Zhuge Liang's death.The abolition of the inner government is inevitable, but after the abolition of the inner government, what kind of system to adopt is the most critical.
