The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 114 Li Shimin: I blew Zhuge Liang away!

[In May 225 AD, Zhuge Liang saw that the people in Yizhou were living a stable life and had sufficient food reserves, so he began to send troops to Nanzhong to quell the rebellion. 】

[The army crossed the Lu River and arrived in Nanzhong in July. Wherever they went, good news spread frequently. 】

[Yong Kai, one of the rebel leaders in Nanzhong, was quickly beheaded by Zhuge Liang, but another rebel leader, Meng Huo, incorporated the remnants of Yong Kai's troops and continued to resist Zhuge Liang. 】

[Zhuge Liang knew that Meng Huo had won the hearts of the southern barbarians in Nanzhong, so he immediately used a strategy to attack their hearts. 】

[Soon after, Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo for the first time. Zhuge Liang asked him to visit the Shu army camp and asked him: "How is this army?"]

[Meng Huo: "The enemy did not know the true and false, so he was defeated. Now I have been given the gift of observing the camp. If this is the only way, it will be easy to win."]

[Zhuge Liang laughed, released Meng Huo, and asked him to fight again. 】

[In this way, Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo alive seven times and released him seven times. 】

[For the last time, Meng Huo stayed behind. He was grateful for Zhuge Liang's might and virtue and said: "My lord, God is so mighty that the southerners will never rebel again!"]

……

Big man,

Liu Bang looked at the sky and was stunned.

"No, you can't fight like this even if you have money and soldiers, right?"

"Seven times?!"

"Are you teasing Naigong?!"

Lu Pheasant was also surprised and doubtful.

"This march and fighting is no child's play. The enemy's general was captured and released seven times in a row, and released seven times. This is...impossible, right?"

Liu Bang scratched his head.

"Why are everyone in this period so outrageous?"

"You are stranger than Tianmu!"

……

Datang,

Li Chengqian stumbled and asked Li Shimin, who looked admiringly.

"Father, this...is this true?"

Li Shimin looked at the sky and said leisurely:

"Are you asking about the seven captures of Meng Huo?"

Li Chengqian nodded.

"Then I don't know."

"what?"

Li Shimin smiled and said:
"The Seven Captures of Meng Huo were first seen in the Spring and Autumn Annals of the Han, Jin and Jin Dynasties, and were also mentioned in the "Huayang Guozhi" later.

"Han Jin Chun Qiu" also quoted from "Three Kingdoms" written by Pei Songzhi"

"But what's interesting is that this matter is not written in the original version of "Three Kingdoms"."

"But that's beside the point."

Li Shimin suddenly laughed.

"The point is, the Southerners will never rebel again."

"Do you know how Zhuge Liang did it?"

Li Chengqian bowed his hands and saluted:
"Please Aye teach me!"

Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian appreciatively, thought for a moment and said:

"Cheng Qian, you must remember that the art of war is based on the royal system."

Li Chengqian doesn't quite understand.

"Any country has military power. Only when it has to, will it resort to war to solve problems."

Li Shimin twirled his beard.

"However, military force can only be a last resort and cannot be the first to start a war."

"It is a last resort in a country's domestic and foreign affairs."

"The military alone cannot solve the problem. Only by relying on a legitimate system can the problem be solved."

"This is called 'the art of war is based on the king's system', and this is also the core of Zhuge Liang's military use."

Li Shimin sat on the stool and motioned for Li Chengqian to sit down as well.

Picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water.

"The Seven Captures of Meng Huo are certainly wonderful, but the techniques of attacking the mind and governing the country contained in them are despised by the world."

"After Zhuge Liang pacified Nanzhong, he 'used them all according to his will'. What do you understand?"

Li Chengqian thought for a while and replied:
"Qu Lie is the leader of the barbarians in Nanzhong. Zhuge Liang lets them govern himself?"

Li Shimin pushed the tea cup in front of Li Chengqian's eyes.

"Yes, that's what it means."

Li Chengqian was flattered, took a sip from the tea cup, and asked a question. "But, Aye. Nanzhong has already rebelled, how can you dare to let them govern themselves? Why not send officials?"

Li Shimin poured himself a glass of water and took a sip.

"There are three reasons for this. First, do the people of Nanzhong believe you about the officials sent out?"

"Second, since we have retained the officials, should we retain the army? If we do not retain the army, what will happen if we rebel?"

"Third, it would be too expensive to keep the army and transport food."

"In this case, Zhuge Liang is lucky to let them govern themselves."

"But that doesn't mean he completely ignores Nanzhong."

"On the contrary, Zhuge Liang regularly selected outstanding talents from Nanzhong to serve in Shuhan."

"For example, Meng Huo later became the censor Zhongcheng."

"Excellent soldiers were also selected from Nanzhong to establish the "Wudang Fei Army" which was good at mountain warfare and the "Tiger Infantry Army" which was good at plain warfare."

"At the same time, Shu Han also continuously invested resources, technology, systems and culture into Nanzhong to help educate the locals."

"Barbarian autonomy and mutual benefit are the first principles of Zhuge Liang's policy."

Li Chengqian nodded thoughtfully.

Li Shimin looked at him, smiled, and continued:
"Autonomy is the foundation, and then we have to adapt measures to local conditions and customs."

Li Chengqian said:

"Aye, do you mean not to impose the laws of the Central Plains on local barbarians?"

Li Shimin clapped his hands and laughed:
"My son is smart! That's right!"

"The Records of the State of Huayang contains: People in Nanzhong believe in ghosts and gods, and they sign contracts by swearing to heaven, and use the power of ghosts and gods to ensure the validity of their oaths."

"Zhuge Liang did not think they were unedifiable, but respected their customs."

"Therefore, Zhuge Liang often made oaths with local people by swearing to heaven."

Li Shimin looked at Zhuge Liang on the sky screen and sighed.

"The people in Nanzhong were illiterate, so Zhuge Liang used diagrams to draw the sky and the earth, the sun and the moon, the rulers, and the cities."

"Convey to them the idea of ordering dignity and respecting the country and the country."

"It also depicts central officials inspecting places and appeasing the people, and local people offering mutton and fine wine to the officials to promote the idea of harmony between Han and Yi."

"According to the customs is to respect their culture."

Li Shimin turned to Li Chengqian and said:
"Zhuge Liang's "battle of the heart" was successful at the time and will benefit the future."

"To this day, people in the South still miss him."

"If we govern the country in this way, why worry about the world not becoming unified?"

……

[On May 226, AD, Emperor Wen of Wei died. Crown Prince Cao Rui ascended the throne in Luoyang as Emperor Wei Ming. 】

[At this time, Cao Rui was hesitant in his ambition and wanted to unify Wei in his own hands! 】

[But little did he know that a person who had given him a lifetime of headaches had already begun to take action. 】

……

The emperor of the Han Dynasty looked confused, and the corners of Cao Rui's mouth twitched.

A golden light shot out from the sky!
In the golden light,
Groups of majestic soldiers holding spears walked through the dangerous mountains and rivers.

In the center of the army, a three-foot-high flag fluttered in the wind!
Submit a letter with four large ink characters!

"Recover the Central Plains"!
Under the banner,
A hale and hearty elder wearing a crown that reaches the sky, holding a feather fan, and riding a wooden cart.

The golden light converged and turned into four big characters.

"Northern Expedition to the Central Plains"!
……

[In 227 AD, it was learned that Cao Pi had died of illness and the Wei state was unstable. Zhuge Liang led his army to the north and stationed in Hanzhong, preparing to send troops to attack Cao Wei in the north. 】

……

Late Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian period
Cao Cao rubbed his eyes to make sure he saw it correctly, and then looked at Sima Yi beside him.

"Is there something wrong with Gu's eyes?"

"Does it say Northern Expedition on the marquee?"

Sima Yi on the side also nodded in surprise.

Cao Cao suddenly laughed.

“You’re in one state, and you just want to make the Northern Expedition?”

"Zhuge Liang is unwise."

……

　Zhuge Liang is difficult to write.

　　The reason it’s difficult to write is that I can’t emotionally pull this thing off.

　　So, let’s write a little bit.
