Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 531-Awakening
In 235 A.D., the third year of Qinglong, in September, Luoyang.

The autumn rain continued, and the rainwater flowed into the river along the drainage channel of Luoyang Palace.

Braving the heavy rain, Sun Zi walked into the room with the bamboo slips in his hands, and splashes of water wet his shirt.

"His Majesty, there is good news from Northern Xinjiang!"

Sun Zi stood wet under the eaves and shouted.

In the hall, Cao Rui, who was in charge of the state affairs, heard the voice of the attendant's notification, excitedly put down what he was doing, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up! Sun Zi."

"My minister, Sun Zi, pays homage to..."

"Free of ceremony ~ free of ceremony ~."

Sun Zi drove into the hall and was about to salute when he was stopped by Cao Rui and hurriedly asked, "How is the situation in northern Xinjiang?"

With a smile on Sun Zi's face, he said, "Your Majesty, the governor of Youzhou, Wang Xiong, sent Han Long to stab Ke Bineng to death ten days ago. Seabuckthorn, Bineng's younger brother, is king. Seabuckthorn is incompetent and incompetent, and if the leaders of the tribe are dissatisfied, they will definitely attack."

The unity of Xianbei is far from comparable to that of the Huns, nor is it Tuoba Xianbei who will become famous all over the world in the future.At this time, Xianbei was just a tribe that took advantage of the weakness of the Xiongnu and rose up. When it met the British Lord, it could be unified in command.If the hero dies, the tribe will inevitably be scattered and lack organizational power.

At the beginning, Tan Shihuai unified the three Xianbei, and his power was far greater than that of Ke Bineng today. After his death, the alliance disintegrated, and Xianbei split into many branches that did not belong to each other.Now Ke Bineng's death will undoubtedly bring decades of peace to Cao Wei's border.

Cao Rui stood up, stepped down quickly, grabbed the bamboo slip from Sun Zi, and opened it.

After a while, Cao Rui held the bamboo slips, looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "Great joy! Ke Bi Neng died, Xianbei scattered, the northern border is free from worries, and the only aid to Western Shu is Dongwu. You and Bing's army will be able to move south , with the elite frontier army and the danger of the great river, the bandits from the Western Shu will not be afraid. When the Central Plains is prosperous and the population is abundant, they will be able to attack key points in the west and regain the northwest."

In order to prevent the invasion of the Xianbei Zhuhu, Cao Cao moved to the southern Xiongnu as a barrier. At the same time, he appointed Qianzhao, Tian Yu and other famous northern Xinjiang generals to resist Xianbei's rebellion, and dispatched elite soldiers to the border to interfere with Kebineng's unification of Monan Xianbei. .

During the period of the Three Kingdoms, not only elite soldiers were dispatched from the northwest, but Liangzhou Dama, Yicong and other excellent troops were also available. Bing and Youzhou were also not inferior.As for Jizhou, there are also world-famous crossbowmen.

Cai Yong said: "The Tuqi in Youzhou and the strong crossbow in Jizhou are elite soldiers in the world and the courage of the country. If there are affairs in the four directions, it is not a bad idea not to take them to the two states." '

Therefore, if the Shu Han wants to attack the land of Hedong, the elite soldiers from the three prefectures of Bing, You, and Ji will be able to arrive in Hedong to fight.

Sun Zi cupped his hands slightly, and said: "The thieves in the four directions of the Great Wei, Kebi Neng died in the north, and now there are thieves in the west, the Wu people in the south, and the Liao people in the east. If we can solve the Wu people in the south, by then It will be difficult for Xishu to go east alone."

Cao Rui rolled up his sleeves and backed his waist, walked with the wind, and said energetically: "What Sun Qing said is very true. A few months ago, Man Zhengdong shot and killed the general of the Wu people, which made Sun Quan lose his courage. It shows that Man Zhengdong is capable. It is because he was in Huainan to guard against Sun Quan, and this time he was recruited into the court, thinking that it would be beneficial to ask him."

Man Chong has served in Huainan for more than ten years, during which time he took over Zhang Liao's responsibility for guarding Hefei.I don't know how many times Sun Quan's attack was defeated, and after shooting Sun Tai this time, his food town was successfully brushed to [-] households, ranking first in Cao Wei.In order not to break the boundary of Wanhuhou, Cao Rui had no choice but to grant Tinghou to his son and grandson.

Historically, this record could only be broken after Cao Shuang and Sima Yi, and Deng Ai, who later made great contributions to the destruction of Shu, also received more than [-] households, breaking the record that non-power ministers were granted more than Manchushiyi.

I have to say that Sun Quan was too generous. He first sent Zhang Liao to the Wu Temple, and then sent Man Chong to the head of Cao Wei Shiyi.That's why Liu Chan still doesn't know whether Sun Quan is too good or his opponent is too strong.

After all, during the Battle of Xiangfan, Man Chong was shrunk into Fancheng by Guan Yu.If Zhang Liao cooperates with Guan Yu to guard Hefei, I am afraid that Sun Quan will give the leader on the spot in the battle of Xiaoyaojin.

Cao Rui sat back on the couch casually, signaled his attendants to change Sun Zi's robe, and asked, "Where are the general and Man Zhengdong?"

Under the service of his attendants, Sun Zi put on a clean robe and said gratefully, "Your Majesty, there are still five days left before Man Zhengdong will arrive in Luoyang. The general will stay in Hedong for the time being due to the changes in the West Shu, but he can come to Luoyang with you." Man Zhengdong arrived in Luoyang on the same day."

"Oh?" Cao Rui pulled the blanket over his thigh, covered his aching thigh, and said, "What is Xishu doing in Guanzhong again?"

Sun Zi knelt on the mat, cupped his hands and said, "I report to Your Majesty, according to the instructions of the general. The bandits rebuilt Yao Pass in Lantian as a barrier in Guanzhong. They stationed troops in Huayin to guard Tongguan. Zhuge Liang went to Guanzhongguang again. Check the household registration, want to check the hidden households, to fill the population."

Qigaoguan is located in the south of Lantian, and it got its name from Linmao Mountain.Because Wuguan and Tongguan were in the hands of Cao Wei, the Han had no choice but to move the people of Wuguan Road into Guanzhong and rebuild the Yao (yáo) Pass near Lantian in order to stop the enemies of Jingzhou.

When Liu Bang took the Wuguan Road to destroy Qin, the last pass of the Qin Dynasty was Gaoguan.Liu Bang adopted Zhang Liang's strategy to capture Gaoguan and enter Xianyang City.

As for Tongguan, it was built on the source, which is very dangerous.It was difficult for the Shu Han to attack, so they had to retreat. The soldiers settled in Huayin and played the role of Tongguan in the east.

After a pause, Sun Zi continued: "Western Shu wants to rebuild Shangjun, Xihe and other counties, and has sent soldiers northward to restore the counties."

Cao Rui smiled and said relaxedly: "Guanzhong is sparsely populated, Bashu is far away, and it is difficult to station troops in Guanzhong. Now Zhuge Liang has no choice but to borrow people from the northern border, and dig out hidden households in Guanzhong. From the perspective of the national strength of Western Shu, if it has been accumulated for countless years, it may be difficult. Go out to the east. I, Great Wei, should take advantage of this moment of peace to caress the people of Great Wei internally and fight against Eastern Wu thieves externally."

"Your Majesty's words are reasonable, and I think so too. Looking at the wars of the Great Wei Dynasty in the past, it made it difficult for the people to meet their needs. In addition, there is not enough spring rain this year, and the people are famine at this time. Most of the grain and grass are transferred from Jizhou and Huainan to the Guandong. Now the West If there is no war, in the future we should focus on cultivating the people and saving food and grass to resist the bandits of Western Shu." Sun Zi said.

After fighting for a whole year last year, it was difficult for the people around Luoyang to concentrate on farming, and many of them were conscripted to serve in corvee. Moreover, the rainfall in spring this year was scarce and the summer harvest was unfavorable.At this time, there was a famine in Luoyang, and the food and grass gap was as high as tens of millions of stones. The Great Wei needed to rely on the food and grass from Huaisi and Jizhou as support to make up for the food and grass gap in Luoyang.

"Hmm!" Cao Rui tidied up the blanket and said, "After the repairs to the Xuchang Palace are put on hold for now, the most important thing is to focus on farming in recent years."

In this battle of Guanzhong, Cao Rui went through life and death, and was shot in the thigh with sequelae, and Guanzhong was lost.Cao Rui's thoughts have undergone major changes, and he is no longer the second generation of rich families who do not care about people's power.

Today's Cao Rui pays attention to farming, worries about state affairs, selects talents, and refines the army.Stop repairing the palace, and even release some of the older maids in the palace from the palace.He wants to expel the great Han in Guanzhong, recover the northwest, and bring peace to the world.

In short, Cao Rui was beaten by the Shu Han, and he awakened!
"promise!"
