Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

The rising sun at noon is in full bloom, shining on the earth and dispelling the severe winter cold.At the long pavilion dozens of miles away from the north gate of Chengdu, Wei Wei Chen Zhen led the officials of the Han Dynasty to welcome Zhuge Liang's army who had returned from the Northern Expedition.

To welcome Zhuge Liang back to his teacher, except for Liu Chan, it can be said that basically all the upper-level officials of the Han Dynasty have arrived, and Liu Chan also sent additional advocacy chariots and horses to welcome Zhuge Liang in person, which can be described as extremely gracious.

When Zhuge Liang's car stopped, he led the army officials to walk a hundred steps to the Changting.

More than a dozen advocates took the lead in playing the triumphant music, and dozens of singers sang triumphant songs.

For a time, the drums and music were loud, the music was loud, the drums were thunderous, and the triumphant songs were high-pitched, resounding through the sky and echoing between the heaven and the earth.

"We welcome the Prime Minister and the generals back to the army, and congratulate Liangzhou on the pacification and recovery of our Han land." Chen Zhen, Jiang Wan and others congratulated Zhuge Liang and others to the sound of drums.

Zhuge Liang's face was full of joy, and he returned the gift and said: "Everyone has worked hard in the suburbs, and we will congratulate Liangzhou on the restoration of Liangzhou and enjoy the joy of the great Han Jixing."

"Please, Prime Minister, Your Majesty has hosted a banquet in the palace!" Chen Zhen raised his hand, signaling Zhuge Liang to go first.

"Please!" Zhuge Liang returned the salute slightly, and drove into the car.

After Zhuge Liang got into the car, he lifted the curtain of the car and said calmly, "Gong Yan, let's get in the car and walk together."

After Jiang Wan hesitated for a while, he got into the car under the envious eyes of everyone.

Sitting upright, Jiang Wan cupped his hands and said in congratulations, "The Prime Minister defeated Cao Zhen with great victories and regained Liangzhou. All the officials and scholars of the Han Dynasty were delighted."

Zhuge Liang pointed to the soldiers of the Han army outside the car, and said modestly: "It's not Liang's meritorious deeds, it all depends on the effectiveness of the soldiers of the Han army. In this battle, Zhongfa turned the tide of the battle and defeated Guo Huai. They all beheaded Zhang He and pacified Heyou, while Liang was only planning a plan."

As he said that, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but smiled wryly, and said: "Before Gao Ping fought Cao Zhen, Liang was also terrified, fearing that he might be overthrown."

Although Jiang Wan didn't know about military affairs and had little experience in fighting, he also knew the dangers of the previous battles, and the strength of the Han army was a little weak at that time.

In fact, before the war, what Jiang Wan didn’t know was that Zhuge Liang was very worried that the army would be overthrown. Fearing that something might happen to him, he specially wrote to Liu Chanyan the night before. Entrusted to Jiang Wan; Huang Quan was deeply favored by the late emperor and was good at military affairs, so the military strategy can be entrusted to Huang Quan.

Jiang Wan listened to the sound of military music around him, and said with a smile: "It is the destiny of the great Han to revive, and the Prime Minister's victory in defeating Liang is exactly what he said."

Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and smiled lightly, and said: "The fate is in Han, but we must not slack off. If Gongyan hadn't raised food, transported equipment, and replenished the source of troops for Liang this year, I am afraid that Liang would not be able to do it. Gongyan can indeed prosper with Liang. The Han Dynasty too!"

"Transporting food and soldiers for the army is Wan's job. Wan's qualifications are blunt, and fortunately he has not been entrusted by the prime minister." Jiang Wan said.

Jiang Wan's self-proclaimed lack of qualifications is undoubtedly a modesty, and the four phases of the Shu Han Dynasty can be said to be heavenly talents.When Jiang Wan was young, he was extremely intelligent, handsome, and extraordinary. He and his cousin Liu Min were well-known for their talents and learning.

Historically, Jiang Wan took refuge in Lao Liu, and Lao Liu appointed him as the magistrate of Guangdu County.When Lao Liu inspected the prefectures and counties, he found that Jiang Wan was ignoring government affairs and was intoxicated. He was furious and wanted to execute Jiang Wan.Zhuge Liang persuaded and remonstrated that Jiang Wan was a talent in the country, not a talent in a hundred miles, so Liu Bei was spared the death penalty.

This experience is very similar to Pang's experience in ruling the county, but Pang Tong walked into Lao Liu's heart and became a confidant; while Jiang Wan was not recognized for his talents, and he was promoted repeatedly under Zhuge Liang's administration.The difference is also very simple. Pang Tong can chat with Lao Liu about military affairs and the theory of emperors; Jiang Wan can only dryly discuss the content of politics with Lao Liu, but how can Jiang Wan, who has no management of county affairs, convince Lao Liu.

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, and said: "It's time to count. I don't know what the achievements of the counties are this year. Is there anyone who is cheating?"

Jiang Wan pondered for a while, and said truthfully: "Recently, we have checked the acres of land, taxes, and population, and there is no cheater. It's just that due to the frequent wars this year, most of the counties underpaid taxes. Except for Fuling and Nanzhong counties, only Fei Guanghan The taxation of counties and counties under the rule is consistent with previous years, and there is no shortage of troops, food and grass."

After a pause, Jiang Wan continued to add: "I have checked the amount many times. When His Majesty returned to the court, he also visited Guanghan and talked with Fei Guanghan. It is presumable that the tax amount of Guanghan County should not be falsified."

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang smiled softly, and said: "Liang passed through Guanghan County and asked about Wen Wei's political situation. According to his character and talent, there is absolutely no suspicion of falsification. After the plan is made, Wen Wei will join the army in the inner government and succeed you. position, Lu Yunnan (Lv Kai) was transferred to be the prefect of Guanghan County, and Zhang Jieyang (Zhang Yu) was promoted to be the prefect of Yunnan County."

Liu Chan maintained correspondence with Zhuge Liang on the appointment of personnel at all levels to prevent the two from violating the government orders.Since Liu Chan ascended the throne, he has been restraining himself from using his power. Especially in recent years, as Liu Chan has grown older and experienced more and more political experience, and Zhuge Liang led the army to the Northern Expedition, Liu Chan has also dealt with political affairs, but Liu Chan still tries his best Zhuge Liang was respected very much, and his opinions were asked on important government affairs.

After all, although Zhuge Liang is loyal, he has governed Yizhou for nearly ten years and has been in power for a long time. Once there is a conflict with Liu Chan, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the vitality of the Han Dynasty will inevitably be seriously injured.Therefore, it is not only Liu Chan who is deliberately avoiding Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang is also deliberately respecting Liu Chan. In the past few years, under the conscious avoidance of both parties, the Han has been peaceful.

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Wan looked at Zhuge Liang, and said slowly: "At the time of the plan, the planner in Fuling County said that Wuximan in Wuling, Jingzhou rebelled, and spread to several counties in southern Jingzhou. There were also envoys sent by Wuximan to Fuling. Dedicate Wuling to my great man, and ask my great man to send troops to attack Wu together."

"Does Your Majesty know about this?" Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and asked thoughtfully.

"The minister discussed this matter with His Majesty a few days ago, but His Majesty did not express his position."

Zhuge Liang pondered for a long time, and asked, "Does Dudu Deng (Deng Zhi) have any superiors?"

When Li Yan led the army to support Hanzhong, Deng Zhi led the army to Jiangzhou and served as the deputy governor of Jiangzhou, directly in charge of the military in Jiangzhou's jurisdiction. Last year, due to his outstanding performance, he was promoted from deputy governor to Jiangzhou governor.

The governor of Jiangzhou is directly facing the Soochow forces in Jingzhou, and Fuling County is within its jurisdiction, and Fuling is directly adjacent to Wuling County in Jingzhou.

"Deng Dudu has nothing to say. A few days ago, under His Majesty's order, he returned the capital from Jiangzhou." Jiang Wan said.

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, fell into deep thought, kept silent, his mind was full of thoughts, and he was a little worried that His Majesty wanted to be involved in Wuximan's rebellion against Jingzhou.

"Report to the prime minister, the palace gate has arrived!"

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang came back to his senses, looked at Jiang Wan and said, "Good, leave the affairs of Jiangzhou to His Majesty and Your Majesty, and Gong Yan can continue to handle other government affairs."

"promise!"
