Han Dao world

Chapter 1094
After discussing Liu Bei's national title, Liu Xie convened Jia Xu, Yu Fan and others to focus on Liu Bei's military discipline.

To facilitate discussion, Yu Fan arranged for Lu Yi, Xu Shu and others to make a sand table.

When the terracotta warriors representing the generals are placed on the sand table and constantly move as the battle situation changes, the battlefield situation becomes intuitive.

There is an explanation for why Liu Bei can play so smoothly.

This group of people are very capable of playing, and they are both offensive and defensive.

Zhang Fei and Zhang He are good at attacking.Zhang Feimeng is good at tackling tough situations.Zhang Heqiao is good at surprise attacks.The two cooperated alternately and were invincible.

Tian Yu and Zhao Zhao were good at guarding, firmly protecting Liu Bei's left and right wings, and providing reinforcements for Zhang Fei and Zhang He in time.

Zhao Yun commanded the central army and acted with Liu Bei as the reserve force of the whole army.

In front of them, it is reasonable for Ma Han to suffer heavy losses one after another and be defeated.

In contrast, Yuan Xi's ranking in the military merit book is not quite commensurate.His position has hardly moved, and he has always been in the center of the rear.

It should be that all the credits of Zhang Yun and others were transferred to his name, which made him take the first place.

From this, it can be inferred that Zhang Yun's credit may be greater than what was written, but for Yuan Xi, he had to move back.

"It seems that the battle against Goguryeo has benefited Zhang He a lot." Yu Fan stroked his beard and said with some regret, "This man's ability to use troops is higher than that of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but he is still dragged down by his family background."

Everyone was silent, no one answered Yu Fan's topic.

In any case, Zhang He was Yuan Shao's old department after all, and he followed the trial and rebelled.When they surrendered at the beginning, some people suggested to the emperor to keep Zhang He and Gao Lan, but the emperor refused, and they were all exiled overseas.

Saying this now, does it mean that the emperor missed it?
Jia Xu picked up the topic unhurriedly. "Since they are famous generals, they should fight on the battlefield. The Central Plains has been set, and only overseas is the world for them to show their talents. Although Zhang Yun has been wasted, now he can follow Liu Bei to fight against the Three Koreas, which is considered to have fulfilled his wish."

Yu Fan agreed, and then laughed again. "With these good generals following the expedition, I think it won't take long for Liu Bei to pacify the Three Hans and march into the Japanese kingdom. The great Confucianists will also have a place to use their skills. There are so many barbarians, enough for them to be busy for a while."

Everyone laughed knowingly.

Liu Xie also laughed, but there was something strange in his heart.

In the military merit book, there are not only the names of Zhang Fei, Zhang He and others, but also scholars such as Chen Lin and Zhuge Jin.Considering the small thoughts behind the national title, the influence of Confucian scholars who followed Liu Bei's eastward expedition cannot be underestimated.

Once the war is over, the soldiers will be sent to Nanshan, and Confucian scholars will step onto the stage, and their power will be even greater.

At that time, will they regard themselves as Xiaohuaxia, feel that Confucianism orthodoxy is there, and even compete with the Central Plains for orthodoxy?
According to his understanding of Confucian scholars, this is entirely possible.

However, they will not succeed.

In the face of the disparity in strength, their poor strength cannot support their self-esteem.

Orthodox Confucianism can maintain success and maintain stability, but it cannot achieve real prosperity.If we also consider the extravagance and waste brought about by Confucianism's emphasis on etiquette, the society led by them will inevitably become rich and poor, and will eventually be unable to make ends meet and finances will be exhausted.

The Eastern Han Dynasty is an immediate example, and so are the later Song and Ming Dynasties.

The reason why the Han and Tang Dynasties were strong was because the Confucian scholars failed to achieve overall control over society and could still maintain the style of martial arts.

"Tell me about Yuan Xi." Liu Xie waved his hand and got back to the topic.

No matter what the reason was, since Liu Bei raised Yuan Xi so high, the imperial court could not just sit idly by and must reward him accordingly.

As soon as the words came out, many people's expressions became solemn.

This is a serious issue, not only for Yuan Xi himself, but also for the Yuan family in Runan.

To be specific, they are those former officials of the Yuan family who originally followed Yuan Shao.

If the guess is correct, Yuan Xi's contribution to such a great contribution is inseparable from the former officials of the Yuan family who followed him.

Rewarding Yuan Xi means the court's acquiescence to this situation, which will lead to more Yuan's disciples and old officials gathering in Zhongshan Kingdom.Will there be hidden dangers? This is a strategic issue that must be considered.

Yu Fan was the most straightforward, first clarifying his attitude.

He suggested that Liu Xie be rewarded according to the military merit book.First, to respect Liu Bei's opinions and establish Liu Bei's authority as the king of Zhongshan; second, to encourage the dissatisfied Yuan family to go to sea.

Now that they have reached this point, they are still unwilling to give up the righteousness of monarchs and ministers with Yuan Shao. Instead of forcing them to stay in the Central Plains and become a hidden danger, it is better to let them go to sea and forget each other in the rivers and lakes.

As for the Zhongshan country, it is overseas anyway, so even if something happens, the impact will be limited.

In other words, take Zhongshan as an enlarged Bohai Sea.

Jia Xu supported Yu Fan's point of view and added another point.

You can report the situation of Zhongshan to the world, so that everyone knows the heart of the court, and anyone who misses Yuan Shao can go.At the same time, it can also prompt Yizhou to become a minister.

The art of war talks about encircling three ques and one, and the poor should not chase after them, and the same is true in politics.

Giving uncooperatives a way out is better than forcing them to rebel.

The Taiwei and the Jiangwu Hall had the same opinion, and the others had nothing to say. After adding some details, the plan was finalized.

Liu Xie accepted this plan, and immediately ordered someone to draft an imperial edict, and simultaneously published the military achievements reported by Liu Bei on the residence newspaper.

Just as Jia Xu and Yu Fan said, Liu Bei's victory in the Eastern Expedition not only gave ordinary people something to talk about, but also gave hope to those who had nostalgia for Yuan Shao.There is also no shortage of people who are unwilling to fish in troubled waters, saying that there will be no master here, but the master will go, and I will go to Zhongshan Kingdom to serve the King of Zhongshan.

For this kind of people, Liu Xie has never looked directly at them.

He is more concerned about Yizhou.

On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, a fast horse rushed into Wancheng, bringing news of Yizhou.

Liu Zhang, Mu of Yizhou, rushed to Luo County in person and handed over the surrender form to Sun Rui, a lieutenant in the Northern Army.Sun Rui accepted the surrender, led his troops into Chengdu, and raised the banner of the Han Dynasty in Chengdu, announcing the end of Yizhou's separatist regime.

Liu Zhang and others are already on their way to Wancheng.

The scholar Sun Rui suggested that Liu Zhang should be treated preferentially, so as to weaken the resistance in the south of Yizhou and reduce the resistance for enlightenment.A large number of scholars have already concentrated in Chengdu, and they can enter the southern counties to promote enlightenment only after the imperial court issues an order.

The war is over, but the pace of enlightenment cannot be stopped.Taking the local people as the main force to carry out the great cause of enlightenment will not only benefit the stability of Yizhou, but also speed up the process of enlightenment, killing two birds with one stone.

After reading Shi Sun Rui's memorial, Liu Xie understood Shi Sun Rui's implication.

He has already reached an agreement with the Chengdu Dazu, allowing them to get what they deserve.At the same time, he didn't want Zhang Ji to stay in Yizhou, and he didn't want Zhang Ji to be in charge of attacking the southern part of Yizhou.

The world wants peace, the gentry in Yizhou want opportunities, and he himself wants to make the first contribution.

It has to be said that his eyes are vicious, and he has read the pulse of the court, knowing that Liu Xie does not want Zhang Ji to make great contributions.

So, after discussing with Sangong and going through the process, Shi Sunrui's request was approved.

Sun Rui, a scholar, was temporarily stationed in Chengdu to lead the governor of Yizhou and fully preside over the affairs of Dutian in Yizhou.

Zhang Jibu withdrew to the south of the Yangtze River to rest and prepare for the march into Jiaozhou.
