Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 103
Yizhou County, Dianchi County.

Dianchi County is located next to Dianchi Lake (Kunming Lake), so it is named after the lake.The seat of the Kingdom of Dian established by Chu Jiang Zhuangqiao.

Dianchi Lake, with a circumference of [-] li, is deep and wide, and the downstream is shallow and narrow, like a reverse flow, so it is called Dianchi Lake.The land by the lake is fertile, the climate is mild, and the water source is abundant. It is a rare land of fish and rice in South China.

A few days ago, the Li Hui Department of the Han Army received news that Yong Kai and Meng Huo led troops to rescue Gaoding, so they led an army of 6000 people to go deep into hundreds of miles and approached Dianchi County. Surrounded by rebels of all ethnic groups.

The Han Army's Central Route Army, Li Hui's tent.

A man who was nearly forty years old knelt and sat in front of the desk, but saw that his face was tired, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was full of worry.

He looked very haggard after having trouble sleeping and eating for several days.

"Captain Governor, Chief An of the Fire Department is asking to see you." The guards outside the account reported.

The Ministry of Fire and Fire is a tribe that he made friends with when he was the governor of Yujiang, and it is also a well-known tribe in the local area.Help the people of the Ministry of Fire, learn to fight, be kind and faithful.

Its leader, Andian, once received great kindness from himself. When he learned that he had sent troops to suppress the rebellion, the leader, Andian, did not say anything about sending troops to help him, but he never wanted to bring him into a desperate situation.

Although Li Hui had a wry smile in his heart, he still concealed the worry on his face and greeted Chief An of the Jihuo Department with his usual expression.

I saw him with deep eyes and high nose, tall and tall, with slender limbs and dark skin. He was wrapped in a green robe and silk, and his hair was caged in it, which looked like horns. He strode into the tent with great strides.

"Li Dudu, it is difficult to defeat the enemy because of the siege. Why don't we break through the siege and go out, waiting for the prime minister's soldiers to come." Andian said with a worried face, speaking Chinese with a Nanzhong accent.

Li Hui shook his head and said nothing, if he was defeated and returned to the country, he would fail the prime minister's love on the one hand, and on the other hand he feared that he would lose the post of governor if he surrendered.

An Dian looked solemn, and said after consideration: "The governor still needs to make a decision as soon as possible, no matter what, Dian will definitely help."

Looking at Andian, Li Hui felt that he valued love and righteousness in his heart. Given the current situation, the Jihuo Department can completely abandon himself and leave, and relying on Andian's prestige in Nanzhong will certainly not suffer retaliation.

"Huh? Breakthrough, prestige?"

Li Hui seemed to think of something, with a smile on his face, he made up his mind, and let go of his worries.

Li Hui looked at Andian, smiled and said, "Brother An, Hui has a plan."

……

Andian listened to each other, nodded as he listened, and finally showed joy, and praised Li Hui: "The governor is worthy of being a wise man of the Han people."

Li Hui smiled and sat up on his knees, cupped his hands to Andian and said, "I don't know if Brother An is willing to invite Hui."

An Dian bowed his hands in return, and replied seriously: "Why don't you want to? Dian is going now."
-
In the central area between the Han army and the rebel army, Li Hui sat down to sit in the case, accompanied by Andian.Soon, the leaders of the various ministries of the rebel army brought one of their cronies to the banquet and waited for everyone to be seated.

"I have met you leaders, thank you for your kindness." Li Hui got up and said with cupped hands.

A small number of barbarian leaders who were relatively friendly returned the gift, but most of the leaders treated Li Hui with hatred.

The leader of the Luoshan tribe asked with a sneer: "Isn't this the commander-in-chief of the big man? What's the purpose of inviting me here? Could it be that you want to catch me all?"

The rest of the tribal leaders laughed and laughed, but Li Hui didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled at the leader of the Luoshan tribe and said respectfully, "Lord Kun is joking. How would you like to meet all of you in battle?"

Seeing that Li Hui was so respectful, the leader of the Luoshan tribe did not continue to taunt, but asked directly: "Could it be that the reason why the general asked me to come here is to talk about this matter?"

Li Hui smiled lightly and said, "Master Kun, don't be in a hurry. Hui invites you here to tell you that Hui just got a report that the Han army led by Zhuge Liang has run out of food and grass, and is considering withdrawing the army back to Chengdu."

The barbarian leaders looked at each other, unable to believe Li Hui's words.The leader of the Luoshan tribe asked in a deep voice: "Is this true?"

"Master Kun, if you don't believe me, you can ask brother An." Li Hui pointed to An Dian.

Everyone present looked at An Dian, and they believed in An Dian more than Li Hui.After all, Andian is the leader of the Jihuo Department, and this person is famous for his faith in Nanzhong. The barbarian tribes in the north of Yizhou County are more or less taken care of by him, and his prestige is very high.

An Dian smiled boldly: "Don't worry, everyone, what Brother Li said is true, I was also there at the time, and I advised Brother Li to make peace with you."

With a sad face, Li Hui cupped his hands and said: "I have been away from my hometown for more than ten years, and now I am in Dianchi Lake, only a few dozen miles away from my hometown Yuyuan County. Hui really doesn't want to go back to the north, so he wants to conspire with everyone It’s a big deal, so I’ll tell you the truth.”

The leader of the Luoshan tribe looked at Li Hui suspiciously, apparently not believing Li Hui's words, and asked, "Dutu Li, Zhuge Liang just arrived in Yuexi County, how could the food and grass run out so quickly?"

Li Hui looked around at the barbarian leaders present, pointed to the Northern Expedition, and said slowly: "Zhuge Liang has just received an urgent report from Hanzhong. Cao Wei raised [-] troops to attack Hanzhong. Zhuge Liang had no choice but to block the recovery with insufficient food and grass!"

He bowed his hands and saluted everyone, saying: "I would like to follow the example of Xie Xian and Yizhou Wenqi (Note ①) and stick to the danger to resist the Han army. When Cao Wei captures Chengdu, you and I are expected to be named princes."

The leader of the Luoshan tribe fell silent. With his ability, he couldn't tell whether Li Hui's words were true or not. After pondering for a while, he looked around at the crowd who were arguing, and said, "What do you leaders think?"

Everyone didn't answer, the atmosphere was a bit weird, Li Hui cupped his hands and said, "Hui is waiting for news outside, everyone can discuss it first, there is no rush."

Before Li Hui left the tent, his eyes signaled An Dian to cooperate. After Li Hui left the tent, the atmosphere eased and everyone talked a lot.

The barbarian leaders in other counties expressed doubts about Li Hui's remarks, while the tribal leaders from Yuyuan County who had good relations with the Li family trusted Li Hui's explanation.

The two sides were at loggerheads, and there were fierce words in the tent. Due to the lack of an authoritative rebel leader (Yong Kai was dead, Meng Huocai had just succeeded the leader and returned to Yizhou County from Yuexi County), and the help of Andian, it was impossible to unify for a while. Opinion.

Although Li Hui looked normal, he was still anxious and started pacing outside the tent.

An hour later, the tribal leaders in the tent swarmed out angrily and broke up unhappy.The tribal leader who supported Li Hui talked with Li Hui after he came out and said, "Everyone will discuss this matter tomorrow." '

Li Hui showed a smile on his face, bowed his hands in thanks, chatted happily, and sent everyone off.
-
One is that when Gongsun Shu ruled Shu, the "surnames of Long, Fu, Yin, and Dong in Cang County, and the county's meritorious Cao Xie Siam protected the territory as Han, and they sent envoys from the Panyu River to pay tribute. Guangwu praised them and gave them praise. "

The second is that when Gongsun Shu ruled Shu, Wen Qi, a native of Guanghan, was the prefect of Yizhou County.Gongsun Shu detained his wife and promised to make him a marquis, but Wen Qi still did not surrender.After Emperor Guangwu pacified Shu, Zheng Wenqi was made General Zhenyuan and named Cheng Yihou.Since then, the deeds of these two role models have been widely circulated in the Nanzhong area for more than a hundred years, and it can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
