Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

In the spring of March, Gai Xun's son, Gai Shun, the prefect of Yongyang in the Han Dynasty, wrote letters to Suo Zhan, Zhang Jiu, and Yin Feng, hoping that they would return.

Gai Xun was famous in Liangzhou for broadcasting Hanhu, and he was famous for his righteousness. All scholars in Liangzhou respected him. His son Gai Shun had his legacy. When Cao Cao was in power, he abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown to farm the countryside.

After receiving Gaishun's letter, Suo Zhan surrendered to the city by offering a dragon; the governor of the Western Regions, Shi Chengyi, died of illness not long ago, and there was no new governor.

Zhang Jiu, a member of the Zhang clan in Yuanquan, the son of Zhang Gong, the former captain of Wuji, inherited his father's old post and succeeded him as captain of Wuji.

Suo Zhan, the patriarch of the Dragon Lesuo Clan, is extremely talented and currently serves as a meritorious officer in Dunhuang County.

Yin Feng, the prefect of Dunhuang, under internal and external difficulties, surrendered the city according to the words of the surname. So far, Dunhuang County and the Governor's Mansion of the Western Regions have returned to the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Jiang Wei sent envoys to Chengdu to offer victories, expressing the merits of the Zhang family, Suo family, Linghu family, Cao family, and Gai family in Dunhuang, as well as Gai Shun, Zhang Jiu, Suo Zhan, and Yin Feng.

In the early summer of April, Zhuge Liang received the military merit list of Wei Yan and Jiang Wei, and made Jiang Wei the general of Anhan, the capital of the township, and was changed to Sima of Liangzhou. Conquer the General of the Peking University and reward five hundred pieces of Shu brocade.Zhaowuji Xiaowei Zhang succeeded the post of governor of the Western Regions, Dunhuang County meritorious Cao Suo Zhan was promoted to Xihai County prefect, Gai Shun entered the inner government, and Yin Feng was transferred to Liangzhou Governor Shi.

In May, Gai Shunde ordered to go on the road, and died of illness in Zhangye County due to old age and frailty. Liu Chan ordered his son Gaihu to be a doctor.At the same time, Li Hui, the governor of Yijiang, died of illness, and Ma Zhong succeeded him as governor of Yijiang.

In the same month, Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang ordered Ma Di, who was appointed as the prefect of Xiping, to enter Chengdu for talks.

On the terrace, the sun is shining brightly, there are no clouds in the sky, the breeze is coming slowly, and the curtains of the terrace are blowing, which makes people feel cool and comfortable.

Liu Chan specially issued an edict to let Ma Di from Xiping, who was rushing there, enter Chengdu and host a banquet in honor of him. At the same time, he invited Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Qiao to reward Ma Di for his achievements in governing Yueyi.

To be honest, without Liu Chan's will, Zhuge Liang also prepared to receive Ma Di in person.When Ma Di was in Yuexi, Zhuge Liang often wrote letters to communicate with Ma Di. The relationship between the two was very harmonious, not only the relationship between superiors and subordinates, but also the same as father and son.For a while, Zhuge Liang also regarded Ma Di as his successor.

It's a pity that Zhuge Liang wondered why His Majesty didn't agree with Ma Di's talent.Since the conquest of Nanzhong in 224, Ma Su has been appointed as the prefect of Yueyi. During the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang wanted to recruit Ma Di into the inner palace in the name of a joint business strategy.His Majesty continued to allow Ma Di to stay in Yueyi in the name of not being completely attached to Yueyi.This stay lasted for seven years, and Ma Di also changed a lot from a 35-year-old handsome man to an outstanding official at the age of [-].

Holding the wine bottle, Liu Chan looked at the increasingly calm Ma Su, and said with emotion: "I have seen the tricks of Yuexi County this year. I have seen it deeply. Seven years ago, the king of Yueyi, Gaoding, rebelled, and barbarian tribes were everywhere. The county government is in ruins, and the county magistrate has to go to Baima County, which is [-] miles away."

"I ordered you to enter the Yue family to govern, and so far all the counties in the Yue family have been rebuilt, the barbarians are convinced, and the taxes are paid. The county is peaceful and the people are safe, and there are thousands of households. This achievement is very great. I hereby pay respects to Ma Qing. "Speaking, Liu Chan picked up the wine bottle, raised it to Ma Su, and said.

Holding up his wine bottle, Ma Su replied in fear: "Don't dare, I dare not enjoy the merits of the former general (Wang Ping) and Li Dudu as Yue Yi has today."

When Wang Ping followed Zhuge Liang on the southern expedition, he stayed in Nanzhong as the captain of the western region and took charge of the soldiers in the western frontier county of Yizhou.After Zhuge Liang's Northern Expeditionary Army left, the barbarians rebelled again in Nanzhong. Wang Ping led his soldiers to fight fires and rescued Lu Kai who was almost killed by the Qiang barbarians. Barbarians.Later, it was transferred back to Chengdu for the Northern Expedition of Cao Wei.

When Li Hui was the governor of the surrender, he often sent troops to help Ma Su pacify the barbarians in the county.

However, in Ma Di's words, there was a bit of bitterness mixed in. At that time, the same group of colleagues, such as Ma Zhong, Wang Ping, and Wang Fu, appeared in high positions, or Lu Kai was in charge of prosperous counties in the interior.And after he managed to rebuild the Yue Mansion, he had to go to a remote place in the northwest to govern Xiping County. It seemed that life was not easy.

Liu Chan seemed to feel Ma Su's grief, sipped his drink, and nodded to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang put down the wine bottle, stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Young Chang, this trip to Xiping was ordered by His Majesty and Liang after deep thought. Xiping County is located in the Huangshui Valley, with fertile land. More than a hundred thousand Qiang people live here. Resist the front line of the Qiang people. If there is no enterprising heart, ordinary people can do it."

"But the great Han wants to take the Qiang people for his own use, so the prefect here should be a person with both civil and military skills, and at the same time be good at understanding the heart of the barbarians, so that he can recruit the Qiang barbarians and pay taxes. Liang Guan thought that only Hu Du and the young The two of them are capable, but now that Hu Du is succeeding as the governor of Yu Jiang, this post must be given to the young and very young."

Liu Chan added: "The words of the Prime Minister Shang are exactly what I think. In the later Han Dynasty, the Qiang barbarians in the land of Huangshui were entrenched and ravaged Liangzhou; in the land of Huangshui today, most of the Qiang barbarians moved to Neijun, and most of the barbarians moved to Neijun. There are few Qiang and barbarians. If there are civil and military talents to rule them today, the Qiang and barbarians can be subdued, recruit people to cultivate, recruit soldiers to fight, and fill our Han national power."

The Qiang people rose to the west, and since Huo Qubing set up a county in Hehuang, the control of the Hehuang Valley by the Han Dynasty has been continuously strengthened.The Qiang people faced the Han invasion of their living space, coupled with the increase in population, it was difficult for the Hehuang Valley to support so many people, so the Qiang people began to fight back against the Han.

After a hundred years of Qiang chaos, not only the Eastern Han Dynasty perished, but also the strength of the Qiang people. In the process, they were either assimilated or expelled, leaving the land they depended on for survival, and began a millennium-long migration.A large number of Qiang people moved from the Hehuang Valley to the inner county of Dahan, called Dongqiang, such as the two tribes of Xianling and Shaodang; or the remnants of the two tribes of Shaodang and Mitang fled westward to the source of the Yellow River and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau He settled in the hinterland of the Tibetan Plateau and became a member of Tubo later.

It can be said that not only the number of Han people has decreased in the Hehuang Valley, but also the number of Qiang people has decreased, so the Hehuang Valley has been silent.It was not until decades later that Murong Xianbei's Yifu tribe, who moved inward from the Northeast, settled in the Hehuang Valley. After hundreds of years of development, it became the famous Tuyuhun Kingdom in history.In the end, Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, conquered Tuyuhun at the age of 63 and destroyed it.

Hearing this, Ma Di cheered up and clapped his hands in response: "Ma Di will live up to the entrustment of His Majesty and the Prime Minister, and open up territories for my great Han Yongning Xiping, so that the Qiang people will never be troubled, and mobilize people to join the army for my great Han and rebuild Huanghuang. Zhongyi Cong."

Huangzhong Yicong was well-known in the Eastern Han Dynasty. During the Han Dynasty, the captain who protected the Qiang was fighting against the Qiang people. He sent Lu Shuihu and Xiaoyueshi in Huangzhong as soldiers. Dong Zhuo was proud of this soldier in his hand against the times. '.

The eight powerhouses are strong and brave in the world, and those who are feared by the people include the people of Bing and Liang, as well as the Xiongnu, Tuge, Huangzhong Yicong, and Xiqiang.

Liu Chan clapped his palms and smiled, and said: "Ma Qing's words are enough to praise. You went to Xiping County to serve as the prefect, and also protected the Qiang school lieutenant, so as to unify the Qiang people. Your achievements in Yuexi are not the Marquis of Ting, so you are named Huang Marquis of Shuiting, I will reward you for seven years of governing the county."

Ma Di was overjoyed when he heard the words, kowtowed on his head and said: "I thank your majesty for your kindness, and I will do my best to repay your majesty."

The prefect of Dahan County will not be named a Marquis unless he has made great contributions, and those who are named Marquis may surrender the border areas such as Dudu, Jiangzhou Dudu, and Hanzhong Dudu.Liu Chan's move basically means that the status of Xiping County under Ma Di's rule is no longer the same as that of ordinary counties. You must know that Li Hui, who died of illness, is also the Marquis of Ting.

Liu Chan helped Ma Su up, looked at Zhuge Liang for a moment, and smiled at each other.

Before Zhuge Liang wanted to transfer Ma Di to the inner government to entrust him with important tasks, but Liu Chan refused on the grounds of Lao Liu's last words and Xiping County's difficulty in peace. This is a rare political disagreement between Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang.

So Liu Chan went to Zhuge Liang's mansion to discuss the matter in detail at night, and the two chatted until late at night. Zhuge Liang agreed with Liu Chan's remarks on the importance of the Hehuang Valley, and said that Ma Di was transferred to Xiping County, and it was difficult to develop his talents.Liu Chan accepted and granted Ma Suting the title of Noble, and concurrently served as the captain of the Qiang guard to manage the affairs of the Qiang people in the Hehuang Valley.

As for why Ma Di went to Xiping, Liu Chan also had a lot of thoughts. One of them was that the Naqiang people entered the rule of the Han Dynasty. The other point is that there is no hegemon in the Hehuang Valley. You can also grasp the important place of Hehuang Valley.

After all, Hehuang was restless, Liangzhou was restless, and the Eastern Han Dynasty suffered a lot.Enlarged, the Hehuang Valley can lead to the Western Regions, and it is also the main road to Tibet.

Um!Entering Tibet is too far away.It is not easy to open up new passages to the Western Regions.
