Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

235 AD, February, Chang'an.

The morning is hazy, although it is already spring, but the wind in the Guanzhong Plain is still bitter, making people shiver.

On the horizon in the distance lies a majestic but dilapidated city, and not far from it, the Han army camps are densely stationed outside the city, and the banners are flying.

Liu Chan was wearing a armor stomach, standing on the slope, looking at Chang'an City, frowned and asked, "Is Yan Fei still unwilling to surrender?"

After Liu Chan toured Kunming Lake, he led his army to join Huang Quan's troops and stationed outside the city.It was thought that the Chang'an garrison might surrender because of the arrival of the army, but because of the retreat of the army, Yan Fei, the governor of Jingzhao County, had no intention of compromising.Liu Chan could only send Liao Li to hold the talisman and enter the city to persuade Yan Fei to surrender and not to resist stubbornly.

Liao Li, who was holding the talisman, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, Yan Fei said that although our army has the potential to win a big victory, but we don't know whether the Wei army will go and come back, and dare not surrender. I ask your majesty to allow [-] days. Five days later, he will lead the city officials and soldiers out of the city to surrender. If there is a one-day violation, His Majesty can behead him. If our army wants to attack the city, he will lead the army to fight to the death."

Liu Chan twitched the corner of his mouth, Yan Fei is disgusting enough.I really broke Chang'an City, and I dare not kill Yan Fei!
You must know that since Ma Chao's retreat in Jingzhao County, most of the people have not concentrated on farming.After Yan Fei arrived in Jingzhao County, he reorganized the rice paddies, planted fruit trees, taught him how to build cars, raised pigs and dogs in exchange for cattle, started literature again, and cleaned up the morals.During his more than ten years in office, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the officials and the people did not disturb each other. It can be said that without Yan Fei, Jingzhao County would not be as prosperous as it is today.

In other words, if he killed Yan Fei himself, it would be equivalent to offending the people of the entire Jingzhao County and losing the support of the local people.That's why the big man really wants to live in Jingzhao County for a long time, so he can't touch this old boy, and he has to confess.

Huang Quan stroked his beard and said with a sneer, "Yan Fei's strategy is to slow down the troops. He must cover for the retreating army against the Wei Dynasty, so that we have no time to pursue Jiang Ji."

Huang Quan could tell at a glance that Yan Fei's move was to give the Wei army time to retreat, so that the Han army could not catch up with Jiang Ji quickly, so that Jiang Ji had enough time to retreat.

I have to say that Yan Fei's strategy of delaying the attack was well used.The big man represented by benevolence will basically agree to Yan Fei's condition and wait for fifteen days to take Chang'an without losing soldiers or harming the people.It can be said that Yan Fei was able to hold the big man.

Liu Chan pondered for a while, then asked: "In your opinion, what should our army do?"

Liao Li held the talisman and said in thought: "The counties in Guanzhong are withered, only Jingzhao is a little rich. If our army wants to forcefully conquer Chang'an, it may damage our soldiers and cause the people to renounce, which is not conducive to our great Han's future. Such an act. When Emperor Gaozu entered the Guanzhong, he made three chapters with the people, and won the hearts of the people. Now we, a great man, should follow suit."

After discussion by Liu Chan, Zhuge Liang, and the officials, Chang'an will be established as the accompanying capital after the war, and Chengdu will still be the capital for the time being.

Although Liao Li said so, Liu Chan still felt uneasy. He always felt that Cao Wei was still hiding tricks, but he was not known to the big man.

"What does Huang Qing think?" Liu Chan asked.

The cold wind blew past, Huang Quan tightened the cloak on his shoulders, and replied: "Your Majesty, I think that if Yan Fei really said so, our army can send the general to take Lantian and enter Wuguan Road to see if it is If you can capture Wuguan, you will think that we are the gateway to Jingzhou."

As the commander-in-chief and tactician of the army, Huang Quan paid more attention to those important military sites and the passes that were not captured by the big men.

Huo Yi, who was silent for a long time, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, when I was with the army, I met a sage who joined the army. His name is Lu Zhi, his style name is Shiying, he is from Fufengmei County, and he is an official in Sima Yi's mansion. When I talked with him , He is superior in observing his schemes, has a foresight, and is familiar with military and political affairs. There may be inside information about the Chang'an matter, Your Majesty can ask him."

Liu Chan smiled and said, "In that case, Xuan Luzhi will see you!"

"promise!"

After a while, Lu Zhi arrived at the bottom of the soil slope, adjusted his clothes slightly, followed closely behind his attendants, and saluted: "Lu Zhi pays homage to His Majesty, may His Majesty be happy and blessed forever."

"Excuse me!" Liu Chan sat on the top chair and asked with a cold face: "Huo Guanjun said that you are a master of tactics. I don't know if you can help me break the city and defeat the enemy?"

Lu Zhi glanced at the young emperor who was sitting on the top chair, not daring to be slighted in his heart, took a deep breath and said, "Zhi heard what Habayashi said, that Yan Fei will leave the city and surrender for fifteen days, but that's it?"

Liu Chan nodded slightly, and said, "Exactly, I think there should be clues in it, but you don't understand Yan Fei's character and the deep meaning behind Sima Yi, so I don't know what your opinion is?"

Lu Zhi was silent for a while, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Yan Fei, whose name is Wenlin, has a prominent family background, is the 24th descendant of Confucius' disciple Yan Yuan, knows the Confucianism of the Yan family, is kind and loves the people, and has always been admired by the people. A gentleman too!..."

There are eight schools of Confucianism since Confucius, namely the Confucianism of Zizhang, the Confucianism of Zisi, the Confucianism of the Yan Clan, the Confucianism of the Meng Clan, the Confucianism of the Qijiao Clan, the Confucianism of the Zhongliang Clan, the Confucianism of the Sun Clan, and the Confucianism of the Lezheng Clan, etc. Eight Schools of Confucianism.Each has its descendants, among which the representative of the Confucianism of the Sun family is Xunzi, who has Li Si, Han Feizi and others under his sect; the representative of the Confucianism of the Meng family is Mencius, who has many disciples.The representative of Confucianism in the Yan family is Yan Hui, the great disciple of Confucius.

The Eight Confucianism sects have similar theories with minor differences, and Confucius is respected.The main characteristics of Yan's Confucianism are that they live in peace and happiness, learn from the moral cultivation of their ancestors, and practice Confucius' benevolent thoughts, rather than boasting.

Listening to Lu Zhi's introduction of Yan Fei's origins and what he did, Liu Chan sighed and said: "After Yan Zi, the Confucianism of the Yan family is rarely heard by the world. His descendant Yan Jun (Yan Fei) should not be held responsible for what he has done. The ancestors are also true gentlemen!"

Lu Zhi paused, and continued: "As for why Yan Fei made the appointment on the [-]th day, Zhi thought that he should accept Sima Yi's request, so as to delay the time for His Majesty to march. Perhaps the purpose should be to imitate the battle of Hanzhong and move to the lower camp. Tens of thousands of people in Zheng County, Huayin and other places entered Hongnong."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Chan's heart skipped a beat, his face didn't change at all, but he ordered his left and right: "Give Lu Qing a seat."

"promise!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Zhi felt a little happy, and his initial interview was approved by Liu Chan.

Lu Zhi was sitting on the top chair, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, since the end of the Later Han Dynasty, the feudal lords have been constantly fighting. Your Majesty now owns the three states, but in terms of national strength, except for Yizhou, the other two states are large and sparsely populated. It is difficult to compete against the Wei, Three Jin and the Central Plains."

"So Sima Yi knew that our army was weak here, so he didn't hesitate to give up the land a hundred miles west of Hexi. He wanted to use Dahe and Tongguan as barriers to move tens of thousands of people to Hedong and Hongnong, so as to restrain our big man. Although Bashu is rich, it is difficult to go far away. To the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition to the Central Plains. Now we can take Guanzhong, all thanks to Longyou and Hanzhong's food and grass!"

When Lu Zhi mentioned the important point, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"In the future, if my big man wants to go east to the Central Plains, he will compete with Wei for the east of the river and take Tongguan. At that time, against the Wei Dynasty, we will rely on the Central Plains, and food, grass, and supplies will continue to come from the big river and Fenshui. But my big man can only rely on the dilapidated pass. How can we take it? Guanzhong. That’s why Your Majesty should break through Chang’an as soon as possible to make it difficult for Jiang Ji to relocate, so as to preserve the vitality of Guanzhong.”

Liu Chan's face was beaming with joy, but he turned gloomy again, and said, "My words are not enough. It's just that it's so difficult to break through Chang'an quickly! If you attack the city with ants now, you won't say the lives of the soldiers, but you may hurt the people in the city. Moreover, Yan Fei has always been famous, if we break the city and kill him, I will lose the hearts of the people of Jingzhao!"

Lu Zhi smiled slightly, and said: "Please ask the country to rectify the army, prepare to attack the city tomorrow, and shoot the slaughtered letters into Chang'an. Zhi should enter Chang'an as an envoy, and persuade Yan Fei to surrender for the country."

"Massacre?" Liu Chan exclaimed.

Lu Zhi stood up, cupped his hands towards Liu Chan and said, "It's not a real massacre of the city, but an act of intimidation. Yan Fei is a gentleman, and now we can only take the city by acting like a villain. I know your majesty's benevolence, But to take over the world today, there is still a last resort.”

Liu Chan stood up, held Lu Zhi's rough hand, and said sincerely: "I would like to follow your words. Tomorrow, you will go to Chang'an as an envoy to persuade Yan Fei to return. When you return, you and I will sleep together. And talk about world affairs."

Apparently Liu Chan heard that when Lu Zhi just made the right decision, he didn't enjoy his words to the fullest.

"Lu Zhi must fulfill his mission!"

Liu Chan took the talisman in Liao Li's hand, handed it to Lu Zhi, and said in a deep voice, "I order Qing to be your servant. If you can bring Chang'an back, you will be my servant."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lu Zhi knelt down and kowtowed, thinking of thanking him.

Liao Li, who was beside him, saw that the talisman that belonged to him returned to Lu Zhi, and saw that he was being reused by His Majesty, and he felt mixed feelings.
