Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 514 Strategy

Liu Chan stopped, thought for a while, and said: "Compared to Anding County, Shangjun and Xihe County have no foundation, so we should mention those who are talented and familiar with the customs of Qiang and Yi, and those who are martial arts should be appointed."

After a pause, Liu Chan said in a deep voice: "Yan Yu, an official of the Governor's Mansion of the Southern Central Government, served as the prefect of Shangjun and led five hundred military households to restore the county; the heir of Wenshan County's meritorious Cao Wang moved to Xihe prefect and also led five hundred military households to build the county. County. Observe the merits and demerits of the two, and transfer prisoners and sinners to enrich the household registration."

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly when he saw Liu Chan promoting an unknown young man.In his strategy, the Shuofang counties are not only counties and counties for border development, but also the direction of attacking and merging the state in the future.

Entering Bingzhou from Guanzhong is only in the direction of Hedong. Once Cao Wei sends an army to block it, stick to the city.The big man can only bite the bullet and attack the city. Unless there are changes in Cao Wei's internal affairs, it will be very difficult to conquer the strong city of Hedong.

In the past three Northern Expeditions of the Han Dynasty, they either occupied a favorable location or possessed several roads, which could be combined to attack.Otherwise, it would be easy to stage a situation similar to the early stage of the Qin-Zhao Changping War, where Lian Po stuck to his camp and the Qin army was helpless.

Or it might be like this time when the great Han made the Northern Expedition to Guanzhong, if the great Han hadn't occupied Longyou in advance, attacked from multiple directions, killed Chen Cang all the way, and contained Sima Yi's army all the way.Coupled with the explosion of the cavalry general Huang Quan, otherwise it would be extremely difficult to break through a fortified city like Chencang.

If Xihe County is restored, the situation will be completely different. Not only can Dahan go north to find other crossings of the Yellow River, but he is not limited to Hedong, so he can enter Bingzhou to fight.Moreover, it is also possible to obtain food and grass supplies and a source of sturdy barbarians from Shangjun, Xihe and other counties.

Liu Chan saw Zhuge Liang's puzzlement, and explained: "Yan Yu's father is Yan Zhi, the former governor of Brazil. When he promoted filial piety, I recruited him. He has always been talented. Nanzhong's strategy of selling Shu brocade came from His hand. He worked diligently in Nanzhong and handled things meticulously. If it wasn't for Shuofang, I would have let him practice a little bit so that he could take over Ma Zhong's post in the future."

"As for Wang Si, I secretly visited Wudan Xuegong a few years ago and found that this person has the ability to relieve the barbarians. The year before last, he passed the examination of Xiaolian. Because of his good knowledge of nonsense, Gongyan sent him to be the official of Wenshan County. During his tenure, he was honest and loyal, and he showed kindness and trust to all the Qiang and Hu tribes, even the wicked and evil Hu people would allege to me because of this." Liu Chan said with his hands behind his waist.

With that said, Liu Chan turned to look at Zhuge Liang, and said with a smile, "I originally wanted Wang Si to be transferred to Ma Di's command, to hone his skills, and then entrust him with important tasks. Now that Shuofang wants to rebuild the old county, he had to change my original plan and let the two With the heart of a calf not afraid of a tiger, Junjie bravely ventured into the land of barbarians."

"Father Xiang, these two heroes are really good!" Liu Chan raised his eyebrows and joked.

Zhuge Liang's old face blushed slightly, and said: "Your Majesty's knowledge of people is admired by the old minister. There are four people, Deng Ai, Zhang Yi, Wang Si, and Yan Yu, supplemented by other heroes. The counties in Shuofang will be able to rebuild. Contribute to the Eastern Expedition."

During the Three Kingdoms period, a large number of capable people who governed the barbarians emerged in the three kingdoms of Wei, Han and Wu.And this time the talents sent by the great Han to rebuild the Shuofang counties can be described as a luxurious group of people who are good at governing the barbarians.

The governor, Deng Ai, is not only good at farming and fighting, but also good at managing Hu people, a fierce man who entered the Wu Temple.Zhang Ni lived in Nanzhong for fifteen years, and the county was peaceful and the people were safe. The originally nameless Yuejuan County was governed by him alone, and it was returned to the rule of the Han Dynasty.Yan Yu is one of the governors of the Southern Central Committee of the Shu Han Dynasty, and his reputation and achievements are second only to Ma Zhong, Li Hui and others.

As for Wang Si's words, Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition was able to unite with the Northwest Qiang Hu many times, all thanks to Wang Si's help.During his tenure in the northern border of the Shu Han, there were no Hu people who caused chaos, and most of them descended to the Shu Han.Later, when Jiang Wei died of an arrow shot in the Northern Expedition, thousands of soldiers and barbarians mourned and wept for his funeral, which shows that his kindness is extraordinary.

Therefore, how could it be difficult for the big man to send these four people to rebuild the three counties of Shuofang~
After discussing the affairs of the Shuofang Governor's Mansion, Liu Chan pondered for a while and asked, "What do Xiangfu think of Du Shu's negligent words?"

Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and said: "The old minister thinks what Du Shu said is reasonable. The soldiers in Liangzhou and Longyou should be dismissed, and thousands of people should be sent to guard them. The soldiers can be trained by the captains in various places. Let the counties and counties in all places return them to support the people. , to recuperate. Carry out the New Deal in Guanzhong, enact light laws, and enter hidden households as household registrations in various places."

"Then who can you choose to be the prefect of the third assistant in Guanzhong?" Liu Chan asked.

Zhuge Liang took out the list of rewards from the Battle of Guanzhong from his chest, and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look. I think Zhang Yi, the governor of Shu County, can be replaced as the governor of Zuo Fengyi, Pang Linping, the governor of Hanzhong County, and the governor of Youfufeng, and the governor of Wudu County. Yang Xi moved to be the prefect of Hanzhong."

The prefects arranged by Zhuge Liang for Fufeng and Feng Yi were an old minister from Jingzhou, a capable minister from Shu, and Yan Fei, the prefect of Jingzhaoyin who Liu Chan had previously appointed.The three have different backgrounds and different qualifications, which is quite balanced, which allows scholars from all over the world to share the fruits of the great man's victory.

Liu Chan spread out the memorial, glanced at it, and said, "Is it feasible for King Anping (Liu Yong) to be the prefect of Wudu?"

Liu Yong is Liu Chan's second younger brother. In order to train Liu Yong, Liu Chan won from Zhuge Liang to serve as the prefect in a remote Yinping county, and asked officials to assist him.Liu Yong served as the prefect in Yinping, and he stayed there for six or seven years.During the period, he experienced the Qiang Rebellion in Wenshan, and his performance was still good.

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and commented: "The king of Anping did not bully others because of his high status. He treated Hu Yi and Han people equally. In the past few years, the county has been well-off, and the people have been given the law of paddy fields. Most of the barbarians have attached themselves. It is very meritorious. Let him move As the prefect of Wudu, there is nothing wrong with succeeding Yang Xi."

Hearing Zhuge Liang's evaluation, Liu Chan also smiled in relief. The clan Liu Yong and Liu Lin finally lived up to his expectations.Liu Yong himself is upbeat and humble. Although he cannot be said to be a great talent, at least he is down-to-earth and willing to work. The experience of transporting grain during the Northern Expedition when he was young seems to have had a profound impact on him.

"Wuwei prefect Du Shu?" Liu Chan couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw this.Zhuge Liang appointed Du Shu to take up the position without making any contribution, which might cause criticism.

Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Chan had doubts about Du Shu's appointment as the prefect of Wuwei, and said: "The words of Wu Bo's remonstrance are very beneficial, and he turned against Wei and surrendered two thousand stones, and told the secret to my big man. It is not wrong to let him be the prefect of Wuwei County. .”

"Since this is the case, what position will Wuwei prefect He Zhisuo change?"

Zhuge Liang pointed to the list on the corner and said, "He Zhi was changed to be the prefect of Guanghan, and Lu Kai, the former prefect of Guanghan, succeeded Zhang Yi as the prefect of Shu County."

Liu Chan nodded, and glanced at the rewards of the generals. He saw that Huang Quan was promoted from a chariot general to a captain, added a lot of food, stepped down from the governor of Qinzhou, and moved to the prefecture.

Huang Quan was promoted to Taiwei and moved to the prefecture.It means that he has no real power for the time being, and he has grown into a capital. After all, the military power of the big man is in Zhuge Liang's hands.Zhuge Liang did this not because he was afraid of Huang Quan's seizure of power, but because of Huang Quan's own reasons.

Since the Han captured Longyou, Huang Quan has been stationed in the northwest for a long time.As a Ba native, he is not quite used to the severe cold climate in Longyou, and he is old and frail, so it is not convenient for him to walk.This time, in order to recuperate from illness, Huang Quan took the initiative to resign from the front line and returned to Chengdu to recuperate for a period of time.

"Yes, I have no objection. After offering sacrifices to Emperor Gao, it will be a night banquet for the ministers, and confer titles and officials." Liu Chan closed the official document and said.

"promise!"
