Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 667 A General from Kansai, a Prime Minister from Kanto!
The man in black is Wang Yue!

His eyes were tearing apart, he almost collapsed...

"Master, the situation is over..."

"Master, Xiliang... is gone!"

The voices of one after another disciples rang in Wang Yue's ears.

Wang Yue's expression seemed to be in endless despair. Looking at the "Zhongxing Sword" in his hand, he felt deeply that under the general situation, his sense of powerlessness, his...or the sense of sadness that the mission of the Zhongxing Sword was not accomplished.

Infinite setbacks came one after another, constantly torturing every nerve of Wang Yue... He could hardly bear it anymore.

"Master, is it just... just forget it?"

Another disciple's voice came, and Wang Yue shook his head bitterly, "What else can I do!"

"In the end...is it the gnat that shakes the tree?"

at this time…

A disciple who had just arrived quickly walked to Wang Yue's side, whispering something in his ear.

As the words deepened, Wang Yue's expression changed suddenly.

He stared at the disciple with wide eyes.

"really!"

"Master, you can't forget it like this! I found out..."

call…

After hearing the disciple's report, Wang Yue frowned after a long breath. After a while, his eyes flickered, and the cone of light in his eyes reappeared.

"At this point in the current situation, benevolence and righteousness are no longer considered!"

Speaking of here…

Wang Yue drew out his sword, "Lead the way ahead..."

"Yes, Master!"

In the blink of an eye, the group embarked on the journey again with overwhelming killing intent.

...

...

Outside the military tent in Xiliang.

Ma Yunlu was directing the Xiliang soldiers to clean up the mess, "These wounded are easy to get medical treatment, and the soldiers who died in battle must be counted clearly, and the Wei will uniformly distribute pensions."

At this time, suddenly... the voice of a Xiliang soldier came out.

"Princess, will Xiliang belong to Wei in the future?"

This sudden sound attracted the attention of everyone nearby.

seem…

After the great victory, all the soldiers in Xiliang were extremely concerned about this issue.

How will Xiliang belong in the future?
This…

The pair of straight eyes made Ma Yunlu feel infinite pressure immediately, and she also realized a brand new problem.

Xiliang... has changed in this war.

"Everyone, don't talk about it first, we'll talk about everything after Nanshou Hou comes..."

Ma Yunlu comforted...

I never thought that another voice came out from among the sergeants, "The Princess is the wife of Marquis Nanshou...Naturally, he will stand on Marquis Nanshou's side, right?"

This…

Ma Yunlu was speechless.

Big tent...

Escorted by Dian Wei, Lu Yu came down here, and there were whispers all around. One of the soldiers asked, "Does the Marquis of Nanshou want to include Xiliang into the territory of the Great Wei?"

Another soldier asked: "Will we Guanzhong people still be the same as before?"

These voices made Lu Yu's footsteps pause.

He was a little surprised...

Unexpectedly, this was just a big victory, and a crux...or a hidden danger that has troubled the big man for many years is already faintly showing its head.

And it's from... many years.

From the Qiang chaos in Xiliang, why it is always difficult to calm down!

At that time, there was a famous group on the border of the Han Dynasty—Liangzhou Sanming, Huangfugui, Zhang Huan, and Duan Jiong, because the three of them made great contributions in the war of suppressing the Qiang rebellion, they were in high positions, and they were all from Liangzhou. People from Zhouzhou, there is also a word "Ming" in the word, so it is called "Liangzhou Sanming" by the world!
It is not too early to say that there are only three Liangzhou Sanming who are capable, capable, and can make the Qiang people fearful.

Huangfu Guiping was already 59 years old when he was in Pingqiang, and Zhang Huan was also in his 50s when he was the captain of Anding Shu, and Duan Jiong was not much different in age from them.

So here comes the question...

Why didn't the Han court re-use the "Liangzhou Sanming" earlier, and decided to use these three people only after the Qiang people invaded wantonly and the ancestral graves of the Han court in Guanzhong were burned by the Qiang people.

And that gets into... an extremely sensitive political struggle.

Liangzhou Sanming is not just three individuals, they are the epitome of the entire northwest wealthy family.

The so-called nobles in the Northwest, in a broad sense, include the entire Liangzhou and the Hexi region of Bingzhou...

And since the Guangwu Zhongxing, it seems that every dynasty and every generation of the imperial court will be extremely worried about this "northwest powerful family" force.

After all...

It was also because of the time of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, that is, when the Eastern Han Dynasty was founded, there were three separatist forces in the northwest that hindered unification-Lu Fang, Dou Rong, and Kui Xiao...

And these three forces have two common characteristics - first, they are all powerful families in the northwest, and second, they are all good at wooing the Qiang people and letting the Qiang people fight for them!
It is not an exaggeration to say that Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu, took great pains to put down these three forces, and since then, the Han court has two deep-rooted perceptions of the wealthy families in the northwest.

First, the nobles in the Northwest are good at military affairs and have always been a potential threat to the Han Empire. We must beware of them and even suppress them.

Second, the economy in the Northwest is backward and the population is small. The local nobles cannot threaten the Han Empire by relying solely on their own strength, but if they can get the support of the Qiang people, it will cause a lot of trouble. Qiang connections.

It is also based on these two cognitions of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, which have become the guidelines for the Han court to deal with the Northwest issue for a long time.

In addition... most of the people who actually controlled the Han court were the wealthy Kanto clan, and the Liu royal family itself was the largest Kanto clan.

The imperial court naturally represents the interests of these people...

then…

It is good to hear that the major shareholders of the Kanto wealthy family eat meat, and the other small shareholders in the Kanto area drink soup. It is not an exaggeration to say that the political structure of the Eastern Han Dynasty was "Kandong Dominance"!
Subtly, it is only natural to suppress the wealthy families in the Northwest.

In Lu Yu's impression...

The most bully is "ju Xiaolian"...

As we all know, promoting Xiaolian is the most basic way to become an official in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but whether it is fair or not does not seem to be that important, because the Kanto wealthy people think they are fair, so they are fair!

During the period of Emperor Hanhe, the system of appointing two people as Xiaolian in each county every year was changed to different quotas according to the number of people in the prefecture and county. A city and county with 20 people set up a quota of "Xiaolian" and 40 people. , and so on, if the population of the county is 20, then one person will be raised in two years, and if it is less than [-], then one person will be raised in three years.

Ever since, people from the Northwest and Longxi had little say in politics, so doing this... the defect of the Northwest being vast and sparsely populated was infinitely magnified.

In addition, the Qiang Rebellion continued to break out in the Northwest, the household registrations of the counties continued to decrease, and the prefects were constantly replaced...the prefects are the main person in charge of the investigation, and they are frequently replaced. As a result...some counties have not been able to name a Xiaolian for more than ten years .

The so-called "Kanto Prime Minister" and "Kanxi General"... were formed during this period.

But...if you want to be a high official, you must rely on the court, you must rely on academics...

But none of the titles of "Three Monarchs", "Ba Jun", and "Ba Gu" are from Kansai... It can be said that in the academic field, Kansai people are completely excluded, because they were born in Kansai and their official careers are It has been completely blocked.

Either kill the enemy on the battlefield and make meritorious service...

or lie flat...

It is almost impossible to enter the imperial court!

This is why, even if Zhang Huan, one of Liangzhou's Sanming, made meritorious service on the battlefield, the court wanted to reward him, but he didn't want any rewards. He only asked for a change of household registration and moved his hometown from Dunhuang County to Hongnong County.

There is also Huangfu Gui... the disaster of the party, because he is no longer on the list, and he feels a great sense of shame in his heart.

——"Everyone with a reputation has been convicted, but I haven't? Isn't my reputation not enough?"

Afterwards, Huangfu turned himself in to the court, saying that I was also a party member, and demanded to be convicted...

It can also be seen from these...

How humble are Kansai people eager to integrate into the Kanto circle?How humble can they be?
As for the follow-up... the evening scene of Liangzhou Sanming is bleak.

This is another long story to tell!

This is why many people don't understand Dong Zhuo...

How could he, a "frontier military general" paid by the Yuan family, turn his back on the Yuan family and act like a domineering...

But Lu Yu knows best...

Over the past hundred years, Kansai people have been treated unfairly in various fields such as official career, Ping Qiang, and resources. Although Dong Zhuo is a traitor, there is also a reason and process for bad guys to turn bad...

Overthrowing the empire, killing countless people, and brutalizing demons... How could Dong Zhuo's changes have nothing to do with the conflicts between Kanto and Kansai in the past century, and how could it have nothing to do with the final political encounter in Sanming, Liangzhou.

Dong Zhuo is so...

So is Han Sui!

It can be said that what Lu Yu saw was true... It's just that he miscalculated a little.

This resentment, which has been passed down from generation to generation for a hundred years, not only affects Han Sui, but also affects the hearts of every Xiliang person.

They have resentment against the court...

They feel that it's unfair...the unfairness of being Xiliang people.

Thinking of this, Huh... Lu Yu exhaled a long breath, he shook his head helplessly, originally thought... the battle to exterminate Han Sui was the end, but who would have thought that this battle was just the beginning.

Incorporate Xiliang into the territory of the Great Wei...

A long way to go!
"Lord Hou..."

It seems that it has been a long time to stop, Dian Wei reminded.

"Oh..." Lu Yu came back to his senses, and his thoughts also came out of these ancient books and documents. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the large tent in front of him.

"Walk…"

With just a soft groan, a group of people strode into it.

...

...

A wine shop not far from Anding City.

This place is heavily guarded, and more than [-] Long Xiao soldiers who have just been added are closely guarding every place here.

With the addition of the original twenty or so people, the guards are not tight!

The reason why...

It is because there are two extremely important figures in this restaurant, one is Xia Houjuan, the wife of Marquis Nanshou, and the other is Yang Xiu and Yang Dezu!

Speaking of which, they are the heroes here, and they have made great achievements in this great war.

At this time, Yang Xiuxiu was reporting the situation on the front line to Xia Houjuan.

"Master, we won...we won!"

It was hard to hide the excitement when he heard the victory in the war...

Xia Houjuan bit his lips slightly, "Win... did you win?"

Finally...

Ever since she rescued Ma Teng, she was trapped in Rangshan Mountain, how many times she narrowly escaped death, how many times her life was hanging by a thread... Now that I think about it, all of this is worth it.

because…

It was Ma Teng who she rescued and turned the tide of the battle. She...she helped her husband again successfully.

"Master's first victory in this battle." Yang Xiu was quite excited... "Perhaps, the meritorious service in this battle is greater than the meritorious service made by Master's wife in the defense of Xudu before... It's just, just..."

At the end, Yang Xiu seemed to realize something... he hesitated to speak.

"What did De Zu want to say?" Xia Houjuan could feel that Yang Xiu had other words, and asked immediately.

This…

Yang Xiu pondered for a moment, then said immediately: "It's just that this great victory may just be the beginning..."

"How do you say that?" Xia Houjuan became curious.

"The conflict between Kansai and Kanto has lasted for a hundred years..." Yang Xiu said with emotion: "It is not a big victory that can cover up all the conflicts. The Emperor Guangwu made a big strategy in dealing with the nobles in Kansai back then, but this If this strategy makes the status of Kansai people even more humble, what will the teacher do?"

Oh…

Xia Houjuan pondered for a moment, she thought, once... Sister Zhaoji mentioned this to her.

General in Kansai, Prime Minister in Kanto...

It seems fair, but in fact there is a huge regional inequality in it. This inequality is wrapped in the officialdom and even more popular among the people... The road ahead for the husband does not seem to be easy.

"It would be great if there was someone who could resolve the enmity between the two parties..."

Xia Houjuan is still kind-hearted...

Many times, she always thinks of other people.

——Resolve?
Yang Xiu rolled his eyes, and finally turned his gaze back to his wife Xia Houjuan.

Almost at the same time, he smelled a strange fragrance, like the fragrance from some kind of sachet.

Because it was in the teacher's wife's room, Yang Xiu didn't think about it!
to the opposite…

What he thought of was that if there was someone who could resolve the enmity between Kanto and Kansai, maybe...not the master, but the wife...

Because, because my wife is Ma Teng's savior!

And after Han Sui's defeat, the whole of Xiliang will be headed by the Fufeng Maoling Ma family, and will belong to the Ma family's father and son... It is not enough for the master to marry Ma Yunlu, the princess of Xiliang, to completely resolve this conflict, but...if the mistress stands up...

Looking at Xia Houjuan's eyes... a little more complicated.

"Maybe... maybe..."

at this time…

"Boom"...

A clear voice came to Yang Xiu's ear, the voice came from outside the door, and the voice...like someone fell to the ground.

Yang Xiu hurried out to see...

Unexpectedly, at this moment, he also felt a severe dizziness on his forehead, and almost at the same time, he keenly discovered that it was the incense just now!
This incense is weird...

"No, there is a fraud!"

Yang Xiu groaned coldly...but then, in the confusion, he felt a strong wind blowing by his side.

Immediately afterwards, he wanted to open his eyes again, but his eyelids couldn't be controlled at all, and his consciousness gradually lost...

thump…

thump…

As Yang Xiu fell to the ground.

"Tap..."

A few figures in black walked into the room...

Xia Houjuan was taken aback.

And a person walked out of the black-clothed figure, his eyes were extremely sharp, he didn't draw his sword, but his whole body was full of sword intent.

"Girl, come with us!"

Xia Houjuan also felt a little dizzy...

Maybe it was because she was farther away from the door, so... she didn't faint directly.

"me…"

Xia Houjuan looked helplessly at Yang Xiu and at the guards outside the door... The kind-hearted girl opened her mouth weakly: "If you are for me, then don't hurt them!"

"can!"

A cold voice came out...

Xia Houjuan nearly fainted, and her last consciousness stayed in front of her. Countless men in black rushed towards her, and she seemed to be stuffed into a sack!
call…

The vast yellow sand, the vast desert.

The wind was still blowing, and in the main hall of the restaurant, a letter was pressed against a sword.

A few big characters in the letter--Lu Yu's personal letter!
