Chapter 352

Zhengdong Zhonglang General Zhao Wei was born in a wealthy Brazilian family in Yizhou. At that time, he served as Taicang Commander in Luoyang Jiuqing Dasinong. Liu Yan sought Yizhou Shepherd. He also resigned from his position and returned to Bashu with Liu Yan. .

Liu Yan's eldest son, Zuo Zhonglang, general Liu Fan, and his second son, Liu Dan, the imperial censor, and Ma Teng failed to kill the traitor Li Jue. They all died in the king's affairs. It can be described as tragic. Soon he died of carbuncle and gangrene.

According to the order of seniority, after Liu Yan's death, the third son Liu Mao was supposed to succeed to the throne, but Zhao Wei and others coveted the youngest son Liu Zhang's gentleness and benevolence, and jointly presented to the court, please make Liu Zhang the governor of Yizhou.

Because Liu Yan suppressed many powerful surnames in Yizhou before, after his death, many local heroes rebelled, including Gan Ning.

Zhao Wei was appointed by Liu Zhang as Zhengdong Zhonglang General, led his army to defeat Shen Mi, Lou Fa, Gan Ning and other Yizhou rebel generals, and took advantage of the victory to attack Liu Biao, the real mastermind behind the scenes.

Afterwards, Liu Zhang ordered Zhao Wei to garrison soldiers to be patient and guard against Liu Biao. Zhao Wei gradually grew dissatisfied. He had two great achievements in supporting the army and suppressing the rebellion. If it weren't for him, how could Liu Zhang be where he is today?

As a result, Liu Zhang had no heart of gratitude. Instead, he had the idea of ​​"the bird is hidden, the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked", and he was directly thrown at the border, away from the center, and left him to fend for himself.

Last autumn, Zhao Wei heard that Liu Biao's tens of thousands of troops had been wiped out in Jingnan, and his strength was greatly damaged. He felt that he had nothing to worry about, so he cheated Liu Zhang of a large amount of rice grains, military resources, and money and silk from Liu Zhang, and then allied with Yizhou With a strong and powerful surname, he rebelled against Liu Zhang.

For a time, wars broke out in Bajun, Shujun, Guanghan, and Qianwei counties, and Zhao Wei was invincible all the way. It is said that he led his army to kill Chengdu, but there is no result yet.

When Huan Jie talked about Yizhou, Liu Jing listened with great interest. Liu Zhang was probably the least ambitious among the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, so naturally he was easily ignored. Liu Jing was quite unfamiliar with his early deeds.

But one thing he can be sure of is that Liu Zhang will be the final winner of this internal struggle in Yizhou.

Liu Jing wants to rule Jingzhou and compete in the Central Plains. Compared with Sun Quan, who covets Jingzhou and harbors evil intentions, Liu Zhang, who is also a clan and has no ambitions, is his potential ally.

It is said that Yizhou is in civil strife, and the happiest person is Liu Biao. He is also lucky. When the army was defeated last year, Cao Cao, the enemy in the north, was fighting Yuan Shao in Henan; Sun Ce, the enemy in the east, was assassinated while hunting; Liu Zhang encountered another rebellion by General Zhao Wei.All three are unable to intervene in Jingzhou for a while, otherwise Liu Biao will never be as "easy" as he is now.

Not long after, everyone resigned because Liu Jingzhou was too tired to bother them too much. Liu Jing left Pan Jun alone and invited him to the back room to sit on the same couch and drink tea to reminisce about the old days.

"General..." Pan Jun said.

Liu Jing waved his hand and said, "Brother, you and I have a deep friendship, no better than others, just call me 'Zhongda' in private."

Pan Jun studied under Song Zhong, a famous Confucian in China, who attached great importance to etiquette and law, and said sternly: "The meaning of "Spring and Autumn": "Fathers, Kun and younger brothers are all ministers. "Even if you follow your father and brother, you must abide by the dignity and inferiority. You should not damage the order of superiors and subordinates because of personal affairs, and lose the righteous way of monarch and minister. Let alone me, an outsider? A minister is called Jun, which is indecent."

Looking at Pan Jun's serious face, Liu Jing couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "Kong Ming is like this, so is elder brother, alas..."

Pan Jun didn't answer, but said another way: "The general was ordered by the king to supervise the four counties in Jingnan, and now Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang are all under his command. Only Wuling County refuses to submit. The general should regulate it as soon as possible. , and completely unify Jingnan. Only in this way can we concentrate on sending the people of Hunan and Heng to the north, facing Jiangling and Dingxiangyang, and occupying Jingchu in order to help great things."

Liu Jing nodded secretly, and said solemnly: "I am about to ask my elder brother for advice. The Art of War says: 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.' Wuling County is where my elder brother is from, so I must be very familiar with the situation in Wuling County."

Pan Jun was not modest. He nodded and said: "Although I have been away from home for many years, I often correspond with the younger brothers of my family, so I understand the affairs of my hometown. Let me tell you something for the general:

Liu Rui, the prefect of Wuling, was born in the imperial family. He was well-versed in books and biographies, and also skilled in art, so he could be regarded as a celebrity.A few years ago, under the order of Liu Jingzhou, I collected the astronomical accounts of the predecessors and wrote "Jingzhou Zhan", which was completed last year and caused a sensation in Xiangyang.

However, compared with knowledge, his ability to govern the county is far behind.The Confucians have no power and strategy, and the Jingman harassed them from time to time, but they were unable to control them, and there were too many government orders, which made the scholars and people resentful.The general only needs to send [-] people to march westward along the Yuanshui River, and within a month or two, victory will surely be achieved. "

Pan Jun finally added: "It is better to attack Wuling sooner rather than later. Last year Liu Jingzhou had tens of thousands of elite soldiers, all of whom were lost by the general. Xiangyang once had less than [-] soldiers. When I went south, the army regained a little bit, but it was just sticking to it." That's all there is to spare. The general should take advantage of Liu Jingzhou's inability to go south and send troops to Wuling as soon as possible to avoid future troubles."

Liu Jing also wanted to pull out the nail of Wuling as soon as possible, but soldiers are not machines, but people of flesh and blood. Since July last year, the soldiers have been exhausted after running around and fighting repeatedly for the past six months. Raising troops is by no means the best policy.

Liu Jing planned to let the soldiers rest for half a year, and then send troops to attack Wuling in the second half of the year.

Pan Jun also knew that planning to exhaust troops and enter the enemy's territory was not the end of the plan. He didn't intend to let Liu Jing send troops immediately. Liu Jing set the time for half a year later. He thought this time was just right, and the two were inseparable. Coincidentally.

Liu Jing said with a smile: "At that time, my elder brother will be the master of my west road, and the guards will march westward. Liu Rui, Ding Wuling, will secure the people inside, and caress the Jingman outside, so that the land south of the great river, north of the five mountains, and the four counties, I have everything I have, and then I can send troops to the north and fight Liu Jingsheng."

"No." Pan Jun said solemnly.

Liu Jing turned to smile and asked, "Brother, is Teacher still in good health?"

"The teacher is well..."

After many years, the two met again, and they had endless conversations, and they didn't fall asleep until midnight.

The next day, Liu Jing convened civil and military officials in the main hall of the county mansion to form the Anyuan General's Mansion.

After the establishment of General Anyuan's Mansion, the most urgent task is to reward the generals for their meritorious service.

At that time, Wu Han, Geng Yan and others persuaded the ancestor Guangwu to take the throne. Guangwu resigned and counted to four. Geng Chun said: "Heroes in the world are cowardly, hoping for hope. If you don't agree with the discussion, you may return to the Lord. Do nothing and follow the public." also."

The same is true for Liu Jing.

The generals followed Liu Jing from birth to death, defeated the people in Jing and Jiao prefectures one after another, and made great contributions to Liu Jing. Now Liu Jing is appointed General Anyuan, Dong Du Jingnan four counties, and has the right to recommend generals and schools to the imperial court. I should award the generals as soon as possible, otherwise wouldn't it be chilling?
