Shu Chen

Chapter 414
The prime minister is indeed resting his body.

Since Baoxie Valley retreated and returned to Hanzhong County, he lived in the other courtyard that Zhuge Qiao set up in Hanzhong.

Not only did he return many powers to the temples and places, but he also supervised the soldiers of the Northern Expedition to perform martial arts, guard and defense, etc., all of which were handed over to Wei Yan, Wu Yi and others, and he had little to do.

He also wrote a letter asking his wife Huang to bring Zhuge Zhan and Zhuge Pan, who were ready to travel long distances, to Hanzhong for a short stay.

In other words, it is human nature to get together with family members.

But since the Northern Expedition, the Prime Minister, who had never been back to Chengdu and didn't know what his descendants looked like, actually wanted to spoil his grandchildren, which was enough to show that he really wanted to rest.

Among them, there is a small episode.

After submitting the statement of the Prime Minister's release of power, the emperor Liu Chan also discussed with the public that he wanted to record the prime minister's achievements for many years and seal [-] households in the city, and divide [-] households from them to Zhuge Qiao as marquises.

This move seems not surprising, the prime minister is the head of the hundred officials, and there is no room for promotion, so he added food to reward his merits.

But it is different in Dahan.

Most of the old officials who followed the first emperor Liu Bei to start a business were those who abandoned their families and businesses, and there were few people from Bashu.

That's why after the first emperor established Shu, most of the meritorious officials conferred powers on officials and built houses and gardens with pictures of acres of land.

After the prime minister ruled the country, he went on a southern expedition to the north. He thought that the Han Dynasty had only one state, the land was small and the population was few, and there were many military registrations.Except for Zheng Pu, Jiang Wei and others who owned two or three hundred households, the others all painted land but not food towns.

Today, the emperor Liu Chan and his courtiers are discussing that they want to seal the prime minister's food, no matter the prime minister's meritorious service, it is hard to change this is an unprecedented honor.

Naturally, the prime minister refused to accept this proposal.

The emperor and other courtiers frequently wrote letters to persuade him, and the prime minister thanked him and accepted it.

However, on the grounds that he could not be different from the generals, he only accepted the food town of [-] households, and rejected the division of households and made Zhuge Qiao a marquis.

In the heart of the prime minister, the adopted Zhuge Qiao was the heir's son.Since Zhuge Qiao was not in the army and could not be named a marquis by virtue of his military exploits, he should inherit the title of Marquis of Wuxiang from the prime minister in the future.

It is unreasonable to separate households and seal them up now.

If the emperor insists on favoring the noble, then after his death, Zhuge Zhan will be divided into households and made a marquis.

In this regard, the emperor can't hold back the prime minister.

But it also contributed to his desire to tour the north: the emperor wanted to take advantage of the fact that there was no war, and go out to Shu in the spring of the next year to see the situation in Hanzhong and Longyou, and to meet the prime minister, many generals, and soldiers.

After all, the prime minister has already returned many powers
The Lord of Wu, Sun Quan, often led the army to go out, and against the Wei Dynasty, Cao Rui was not trapped in Luoyang. Since the prime minister expected him to follow the style of the previous emperor, although he did not have the ability to stand up to the battle in person, he should at least go to Xinfu. Liangzhou manifests the name of benevolence and righteousness.

The prime minister is happy to see it succeed.

Now that the world is divided into three parts, as a monarch, the most indispensable thing is this kind of enterprising spirit.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, even if the big man is still in the old capital and he himself dies, he will not lack the battle of national destiny that requires the emperor to personally conquer. It is right for the emperor to familiarize himself with the army in advance.

However, the time for the northern tour has to wait for the right time.

For example, let's wait for the progress of the battle between Jiangdong and Ni Wei in Huainan to see whether Ni Wei still has the background to invade Longyou after the war before making a decision.

If there is, I can't come to the north to tour.

In order to prevent Ni Wei from taking the opportunity to invade, he passively contributed to the conquest of the emperor's royal family.

If not, then wait for Jiang Wei, Zhang Bao and others who stayed in Wuwei County to wipe out or expel Liu Bao from the left of the Southern Huns before making the trip.

Yes, under the national policy of resting with the people, it does not mean that the big men have no wars.

The left part of the Southern Xiongnu entrenched in Xiutu Ze and the Wei Deng Ai part of the village south of Helan Mountain, the big Han is bound to pull out.

For one thing, no one else is allowed to sleep soundly on the side of the couch.

There was a time when the army against Wei trapped the city of Yinyin and took the strategic advantage. Naturally, the prime minister would not give Sima Yi the chance to repeat his old tricks.Therefore, the Wei army in these two places is like a stick in the throat for the big man, and he can't get rid of it.

The other is that the big man can gradually implement the plan to train cavalry.

With the restoration of the Silk Road and the repatriation of soldiers to their garrison fields, the imperial court's provisions and finances will gradually be replenished, and this is also the basis for building a large cavalry group.Coincidentally, Liu Bao's, Fei Yao's and Deng Ai's troops can be regarded as cavalry training and actual combat training.

In the end, there will be no shortage of food and fodder in small-scale wars.

And purely riding a battle, one should look for opportunities to eat at the enemy.

In the prime minister's plan, it is the time for Jiang Wei, Zhang Bao and others to start the self-determination war.

If there is an opportunity to feed on the enemy, then use all the thousands of horses you have today; if not, then first use hundreds of horses to harass and loot, and hone the cavalry.

As for why Ma Dai is not the supervisor?
Ma Dai stepped forward to give way.

In this year's war, Ma Dai first worked together in Juyanze and Tuoba tribe of Xianbei to wipe out the right part of the Southern Huns, and then galloped back to Wuwei County to fight against Wei's cavalry with Jiang Wei. He spent half a year on horseback above bumps.

It also made him, who is already in his sixties, feel that "old people don't use their muscles and bones as energy".

Simply, please stay in the Shandan Ranch to graze horses for the imperial court and train cavalry soldiers. Even the command of the Xiliang cavalry has been asked by the prime minister to choose another leader.The same is true for his lieutenant Yang Ji, who seeks to disarm his pasture as he gets older.

To be precise, Ma Dai's mind is just like Wu Yi's. He feels that with his physical condition, he must miss the Guanzhong battle of "returning to the old capital" in the future; Wei Tuntian soldiers and horses, even if they are defeated, there is nothing to show for it, so the idea of ​​giving up the virtuous was born.

Alas, the hatred of an old soldier is nothing more than the chance to ask for a horse leather shroud~
Therefore, the current [-] Xiliang iron cavalry were allocated to Zhang Bao, Zhang Te and Xu Zhi respectively.

Among them, Zhang Bao will treat these more than a thousand people as low-level officers such as Shichang and Tunchang, and expand his recruitment to five thousand cavalry like Zhao Guang, the Xiaoqi general, and become the main force entering the pass in the future.

But Zhang Te and Xu Zhi were placed under Jiang Wei's command.

Based on the geographical attributes, the two thousand Qiang cavalry of Geinhu Qiang Xiaowei's Department will resume their original duties of guarding the border in Liangzhou, and will no longer go out with the army.

With such an arrangement, it was Jiang Wei's responsibility to go to Xiu Tuze to attack the left of the Southern Huns.

As for the attack on the Wei army in Tuntian south of Helan Mountain, we have to wait until Ma Dai, Zhang Bao, and Zhao Guang recruit and train cavalry to form an army before making plans.As far as the rebellious Wei Wei stationed heavily in Gaoping City, Anding County, attacking the south of Helan Mountain will inevitably induce tens of thousands of troops from the Han and Wei Dynasties to fight fiercely.

In the current situation of the Han Dynasty, it is not appropriate to go to war.

But what the prime minister, Jiang Wei and others could not have imagined was that Liu Bao, the left wing of the Southern Huns, migrated back to Shuofang County during the winter before the Han army's soldiers and horses moved!
The reason is the sharpness of a person's tongue.
