Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 754 Withering
"Your Majesty, the Taiwei can't manage affairs, and now I'm going to the shuffle, thinking of the future."

Just after June, Liu Chan, who was checking reports on spring plowing from various places on the terrace, got bad news. The last Tuogu minister, Taiwei Huang Quan, was seriously ill and bedridden.

After hearing the news, Liu Chan put down the memorial in his hand and sighed deeply, full of reluctance.Since the pacification of Guanzhong, the veterans left behind by Lao Liu have died of illness one after another.Especially after the conquest of Jingzhou, the veteran officials of the great Han Dynasty seemed to have died of illness, and the young and middle-aged generals took over. Now it is Huang Quan's turn to die.

Huang Quan has a straightforward personality and does things with all his heart. He is not a person who is greedy for fame and fortune, nor is he a flatterer.When Lao Liu entered Shu, he tried his best to persuade Liu Zhang to fail, and was exiled to Guanghan County as the county magistrate, and he did not resent Liu Zhang.Instead, he did his best to serve Liu Zhang, guarded the city, and did not surrender to Lao Liu. He did not surrender to Lao Liu until Liu Zhang surrendered.

After returning to Lao Liu, perhaps because Huang Quan had a military strategy, he was named a partial general.Huang Quan seized every opportunity that belonged to him. Zhang Lu was defeated by Cao Cao and fled to Bazhong. Huang Quan proposed to welcome Zhang Lu and occupy Hanzhong.It's a pity that Zhang Lu surrendered to Cao Cao, and Huang Quan returned without success.However, when he accompanied Lao Liu to attack Hanzhong, he shined brilliantly. Even though his reputation belonged to Fazheng, he didn't care at all.

However, he became Lao Liu's confidant minister, and was appointed as the governor of Yizhou after the war to assist Lao Liu in governing Yizhou.In the battle of Yiling, Huang Quan had become the general of Zhenbei, leading an army.After being rescued by Liu Chan, Liu Bei paid more attention to Huang Quan and appreciated him more and more.

When Tuogu was in Baidi City, Huang Quan, relying on his talent and character, finally made the old Liu Tuogu become the only Tuogu minister who was not from Jingzhou, assisting Liu Chan in governing the country and assisting Zhuge Liang in governing the country.In Lao Liu's prediction, Huang Quan was in charge of the army, Zhuge Liang was in charge of politics, and he assisted Liu Chan with every article and military.

However, to Lao Liu's surprise, Zhuge Liang showed his military talents.When Huang Quan faced Zhuge Liang and decided to go south by himself, Huang Quan didn't have any objection, but assisted him in the battle extremely cooperatively.At the same time, he will be willing to give up his rights and let Zhuge Liang lead the Shu Han army.

With Huang Quan's dedicated assistance, Zhuge Liang and him have a close relationship, and jointly completed a series of battles such as Beiding Longyou and Kefu Guanzhong, and revived the Han Dynasty.In contrast to him is Li Yan, who is greedy for fame and fortune, tries to cause internal strife, and finally reaps the consequences.

Liu Chan was really reluctant to leave the Fuxing Veteran with good moral character.But what could he do, he could only sigh.

Secretary Lang was presenting Huang Quan's memorial, and Liu Chan opened it and quickly browsed through it.Huang Quan did not talk too much about his illness in the memorial, but focused on the inside story of the Han army and the strategy of unifying the world.It means that if the big man wants to dominate the world, he should continue to pay attention to the generals in the army, and the military should not be neglected.

In the step of unifying the world, Huang Quan believes that Bingzhou is the most important thing for the great Han to pacify the world. If the big Han captures Bingzhou, Hebei is no longer in danger from the overall situation. The demise of Cao Wei is only a matter of time. I hope your majesty can be cautious Treat the Bingzhou military.

In the end, Huang Quan recommended a bunch of outstanding generals of the big Han in the table. In addition to the already famous Wei Yan, Wang Ping, Deng Ai, Ma Zhong, Jiang Wei, Ju Fu, and Huo Yi, he also mentioned Yuan Hong, Hu Yi, etc. Zun, Zhoutai, Liao Hua, Zhang Yi, Wang Si, Wei Hu and others.Huang Quan even recommended his eldest son Huang Chong without hesitation, saying that he has his own demeanor, likes to explore terrain, is good at using troops, and can be reused.

And more or less analyzed the characteristics of these people's military use, indicating that among these people, there are not only generals who can be alone in the future, but also Hu Tao who can be loyal to the country, and will not disappoint Liu Chan's entrustment.

After Liu Chan read the closing memorial, he remained silent for a long time.This famous general who has been submerged in history has completely demonstrated his incomparable heroic appearance in his own hands, but now he has to watch him wither in the long river of history.

"Let General Hussars take over the post of Taiwei, and order Fei Yi and Huo Yi to assist him." Sighing again, Liu Chan ordered: "Ling Xian (Quezheng) wrote the letter of praise for Taiwei for me, Propagate it to the world to show its merits and virtues. And let the prince visit the Taiwei for me, read this article, and give food to one thousand households, a total of nine thousand households."

"promise!"

Quezheng, courtesy name Lingxian, was born in Yanshi County, Henan County, Sizhou.However, his father bowed down to Cao Cao with Meng Da, and his mother remarried and was lonely and helpless. She seldom read ancient books.He entered Wudan Xuegong to study, and was recommended by Qiao Zhou to be a secretary after completing his studies.

Not long after entering the secretary's prison, Liu Chan accidentally knew his name, and praised him for his excellent edict drafting, and promoted him to Lingshi.Afterwards, Zhengzheng performed well again and handled things correctly. Liu Chan named him again and promoted him to be Secretary Lang.In the past, Liu Chan asked Liao Li to draft edicts, but in fact most of them were written by Que Zheng.

But when he was about to retire and write a eulogy, he was stopped by Liu Chan, and asked in a wicked way: "Queqing will move to Chang'an with me, I wonder if he will miss Shu?"

But Zhengzheng didn't understand Liu Chan's meaning, and replied truthfully: "I can serve His Majesty's side, I should be happy and not think of Shu."

Liu Chan was taken aback for a moment, waved his hand to signal him to step back, and sighed, "If I am in danger, there is one who can serve me."

Hearing this, Liao Li leaned over and said with a smile: "At that time, I will be able to serve His Majesty."

Liu Chan glanced at Liao Li suspiciously. Other people's words might be credible, but Liao Li, who had a history of running away, really didn't believe it.

Liao Li seemed to be aware of the emperor's questioning, thinking of his history of abandoning the county and fleeing, he smiled awkwardly and stopped talking.

Liu Chan picked up the two memorials from Xiangzhou again. These two memorials came from former general Deng Ai and Xiangzhou governor Zhuge Qiao respectively.

In the memorial, Zhuge Qiao said that the people's livelihood in Xiangzhou is gradually recovering. With the help of a large number of grassroots officials appointed by Soochow in Xiangzhou, the Han Dynasty has completed the control of Xiangzhou. Through tax reduction and benevolent governance, the people's hearts in Xiangzhou have returned to the Han Dynasty. .

Through the recovery of commerce, merchants from Jing, Hunan, and Yi have regrouped in Jiangling and Lexiang, and gradually formed a triangular business system with Jingzhou as the core.In Jingzhou, you can even buy horses from the northwest, as well as rhino horns from the southwest.

Liu Chan nodded slightly, quite satisfied with the governance of Xiangzhou, and then opened Deng Ai's statement.

In Deng Ai's statement, he reported that the dredging of the Yangshui Canal had been completed, and that [-] newly recruited soldiers had begun to store grain by the Yangshui River.At the same time, these enlisted soldiers gathered for drills under the command of the general in their spare time.

Looking at Deng Ai and Zhuge Qiao's statement, Liu Chan was very interested in Xiangzhou's recovery, and knocked on the table with his hand. After a while, Liu Chan ordered: "Let the prince go to Xiangzhou for me after the summer harvest, and inspect the Xiangzhou. The state's people's sentiments, and the situation of the Yangshui army camp."

"No!" The servant replied.

The prince is not young, how can he always take root in the grassroots.The more rooted in the grassroots is just to let him not forget the people and understand people's livelihood and agriculture.Now he can gradually increase his training, get in touch with higher-level things, and patrol Xiangzhou for himself, which is the best.
