Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 653
Xiangyang County, Xiangyang City.

At noon, with the warm sun hanging high, Liu Chan tied his awning and walked around the city with his sword.Deng Ai, Jufu, Zhoutai and the loyal minister Pu Zhong followed His Majesty, ready to answer the emperor's questions at any time.

As for why Zhuge Liang, Yang Yi, Liao Hua and others were not there, it was because Liu Chan gave them a holiday.After all, since they served the Shu Han, they left their hometowns and went to live in Yizhou thousands of miles away.After wandering for more than [-] years, he finally returned to his hometown of Xiangyang.

As a caring boss, how could Liu Chan turn a blind eye.So after entering Xiangyang, Liu Chan specially let the scholars from Xiangyang return to their hometowns.Although Xiangyang and the Hanshui area have experienced wars for a long time, their ancestral graves are still there, so it is good for them to go back and worship their ancestors.

It is also a blessing if you are lucky enough to meet young friends, or reminisce about the past, or show your current status.After all, there is a saying in ancient times that 'wealth and honor do not return home, such as walking in brocade clothes at night'.

For Zhuge Liang's words, he went to Longzhong to worship his uncle Zhuge Xuan.

Zhuge Xuanchu was an official under Liu Biao, and knowing that his cousin Zhuge Gui had died of illness, he went to Mount Tai to take care of Zhuge Gui's funeral.

Zhuge Xuan happened to send troops to Xuzhou to attack Tao Qian when Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou. To avoid the disaster of war, he took Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jun and two nieces with him, separated with Zhuge Jin who was going to Jiangdong, and fled to Lujiang area.

Later, Zhuge Xuan was replaced by Zhu Hao as the prefect of Yuzhang by Yuan Shubiao.With no one to rely on, Zhuge Xuan turned to Liu Biao, his old club in Xiangyang.

A few years later, Zhuge Xuan also died of illness in Xiangyang. After Zhuge Liang buried him, he went to Nanyang to farm in Longmu.Later, due to the war, Zhuge Liang moved to Longzhong to work and study.

The south of the Han River is called Hannan for short.The Jingman occupy the affluent and affluent Chuzhong area, which belongs to the border of Hannan.

In order to keep the boundary of Jingbei, Liu Chan also took pains to find helpers for Wang Ping, one in the south and one in the north. It was Jufu who defended Cao Wei in the north, and Deng Ai who attacked Dongwu in the south.

Deng Ai's words just now seem to be saying that he has a bad relationship with the Xinye Deng family, and that he doesn't even share the ancestral hall with them, and needs to build another hall.

Liu Chan raised his eyebrows slightly, not because he was dissatisfied with Wang Ping's actions, but because he didn't expect Sima Yi to make a move at this time, insisting on taking back the former Yiyang City.

"If I accept Qing's words today, I may be able to attack Jingchu." After speaking, Liu Chan looked at Deng Ai and said solemnly: "I know who can do things to Wu! It must be Qing."

With a clatter, Deng Ai, who was wearing armor, knelt down on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "I am not talented, I would like to lead the matter against Wu and help Your Majesty attack Jingchu."

While Liu Chan was talking with Deng Ai, the scout came to report and said: "Your Majesty, the former general sent a letter saying that Sima Yi commanded a large army to force Yiyang. There are not many soldiers under his command, and the distance from Nanyang is far away. I am afraid that the army will not be able to support it. Now I have led the soldiers to move to Yiyang City, and more than [-] civilians went south to Jingbei."

"promise!"

Jia Xu's words seem conservative, like a dove, but in fact Jia Xu's strategy is very vicious.Jia Xu hoped to use the name of the emperor and use materials to appease the scholars and common people in Jingchu and separate the inside of the Jiangdong separatist regime.

Liu Chan slowed down, sighed, and said: "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it has been a period of sixty years (60 years). The world is in dispute, and the heroes rise together, so they enter the Three Kingdoms. Reduced, leaving home. Since I went south, I have seen the scene of Nanyang, which is really heartbreaking!"

Deng Ai bowed his waist slightly, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I see that this winter will pass, and the spring water will rise. Moreover, although our army has a small gain, the Wu people have not moved at all. If we rush south today, how can our army go south?" Gaining profit. At this moment, I think our army is like a gambler. Now that we have tasted the profit, we must not be greedy for the profit that we will not get, otherwise we are afraid of being defeated!"

Liu Chan smiled and lamented that Deng Ai's political sense is not bad. In the early years, perhaps because he was born in a poor family, he was not good at official affairs and politics of monarchs and ministers, and he was not very popular.

Coupled with the sympathy for everyone who left their homes, Liu Chan couldn't help but sigh at the war.

Perhaps it was because of the disgusting attitude of some members of the tribe due to their young age. Deng Ai said that he has little relationship with the Xinye Deng family, and his ancestors do not need to enter the ancestral hall.

When Jingbei is stable and Jingnan is settled down, Dongwu's natural barrier to the Yangtze River will be lost, and Soochow will naturally fall apart.After all, the centripetal force and internal unity of Sun Wu before the Battle of Chibi were far inferior to those of today.Even the Sun family members have people who want to surrender, let alone others.And Liu Bei has plans for Wu Ju, Cangwu County, Jiaozhou, Nantou.

Since Deng Ai entered Nanyang, the Deng Ai branch in Xinye visited Deng Ai many times, expressing the hope that Deng Ai's ancestors could be enshrined in the ancestral hall, and his official position would be listed as a matter of honor.

Deng Ai pondered for a while, and then added that it was possible: "Although Chen and Xinye Deng have the same surname, the minister is not from a distant branch. Although they are friendly today, another hall needs to be established, not the same."

After Cao Wei moved his capital, Luoyang was no longer so important, and it would be easy to attack Yiyang again.After all, strategic locations change from time to time, so we can't just judge it based on the temporary situation.

But in fact, Deng Ai said that I agreed to the order of His Majesty and the Deng family to be friendly, but I promised Your Majesty that I would not collude because of the common surname Deng.With what evidence, I, Deng Ai, will not enter the Xinye Deng's Ancestral Hall.

Unexpectedly, the older Deng Ai was, the more things he experienced, and he became more and more enlightened about these things, and he couldn't help but be amazed.

Deng Ai glanced at His Majesty who was smiling at the corner of his mouth, shook his spirits, and bowed his head in response: "No!"

Looking at the moat outside the city, Liu Chan said with a smile: "Young Shizai left home as a child, do you need to go back to your hometown to visit the villagers after this war?"

After a pause, Liu Chan restrained his emotions and said, "Shi Zai is a distant branch of the Deng family in Xinye, so it is better to be more friendly with the Deng family."

When Cao Cao marched south, Jia Xu persuaded him that now our army occupies the Central Plains and has regained the territory south of the Han River, and our troops are in full swing.It's better to reward officials and scholars in Jiangling, appease the people, and make people live and work in peace and contentment, so that Jiangdong can be stabilized without laboring and mobilizing the masses.

"Ok?"

Liu Chan helped Deng Ai up with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, you. After I leave, the south of the Han River will belong to Qing, but you still need to obey the orders of the governor Zijun."

"I thought it would be better to appease Jingbei and stabilize the boundary of Hannan. At that time, the Wu people imposed harsh taxes, the people were full of resentment, and the Jingman rebellion continued. The minister thought that he ordered people to go south to Chu, buy officials, and appease Jingman as domestic aid. But our army Cultivate the soil on the Hanshui River, and practice navy. You can go south to attack Jingzhou, occupy Jingzhou completely, and prevent the Wu people from disturbing the west."

That's how Guan Yu lost Jingzhou. Mi Fang and Shi Ren, who were housekeepers, voted directly, so it's a fart.

Deng Ai was stunned for a moment, and said bitterly: "The boy is ignorant, he only remembers that his home is in Xinye, as for where, he has already forgotten!"

Today, Deng Ai's strategy cannot be said to be comparable to Jia Xu's to the point, and it can match Jiangdong's words.But Deng Ai did give a suitable strategy.Send agents into Jingchu, look for Han people in Jingzhou as internal support, and lure Jingman to rebel.As for the outside world, open up wasteland on the spot, develop agriculture, use it as military food, and train the navy to fight against the Wu people's navy.

After all, Jingbei entered the Central Plains as a big Han and went south to the bridgehead of Chu, without the guards of generals and loyal people, it would definitely not work.

At the beginning, the big man attacked Yiyang in order to force Cao Rui to return to the army.Today, the Han Dynasty already has Jingzhou. If they attack Luoyang, they no longer need to march from Yiyang, but can go north from Wancheng.Moreover, the road is more convenient and convenient, so it is not unacceptable to abandon Yiyang.

After walking for a while, Liu Chan stopped, looked at Mount Xian in the south of the city, and said, "Cao Rui died of illness and Sun Quan was defeated. Some people say that we should take advantage of the trend and go south to attack Jiangling. But I thought it would be a year for the soldiers to go north and south. It's been a lot of hard work, and it's not appropriate to withdraw the troops back to the country, I don't know what you think?"

Now Liu Chan agreed to allow Deng Ai to get close to the Deng family, largely because he hoped that through the relationship between the middle and high-level officials of the Shu Han and the ground, the noble people in Nanyang and other places could return to their hearts.

Liu Chan leaned on the female wall and said with a smile: "You must have great wisdom in your words. In the past, Cao Cao gathered 20 people to join the Jingzhou Navy, and wanted to go south with one fell swoop to calm the world. Jia Xu advised: "In the past, Hebei broke the Yuan family, Now that Hannan has been collected, the prestige is far away...to appease the people and make the land happy, then Jiangdong will be subdued without laboring.' Cao Cao refused, so he marched south and lost. If Cao Cao accepted Jia Xu's words, the world would be three It's hard to divide."

However, Wei Yan and Deng Ai had taken a fancy to Wei Yan and Deng Ai's words. After Wei Yan burned Sun Quan, he went west and tried to capture the area of ​​​​Tuzhong as a military exploit.After Deng Ai succeeded in attacking Sun Quan at night, he rested for a few days and sent Deng Zhong and Fu Qian south to attack Pingzhong.I just don't know who will get it!

Liu Chan, who was walking ahead, heard this and looked back at Deng Ai.The monarch and his ministers looked at each other with a tacit understanding. Deng Ai lowered his eyes and dared not look directly.

It can be said that Deng Ai can fight immediately, and he can calm the people immediately. He has all kinds of civil and military strategies, and now his political sense has also awakened.If you don't join the army, if you are a politician, your future is not low.

Of course, some are afraid that if they accept it, His Majesty may be displeased.After all, His Majesty is quite dissatisfied with the behavior of the ministers' relatives and relatives. He is afraid that the officials will cover each other and collude with each other because of their kinship, which will reproduce the phenomenon of the gentry in the later Han Dynasty.

Nanyang is rich and has convenient water conservancy. Liu Chan thought that after decades of peace, Nanyang would be healthier.Unexpectedly, Nanyang is withered, the water conservancy is neglected, and the people are scarce. It is not as good as Guanzhong in recent years.

Deng Ai's mother died of illness a few years ago, and now Deng Ai's relatives only have his wives, and he has forgotten all about his hometown.Only the unbearable memories of being young and poor.

Moreover, according to Liu Chan's estimation, there is a high probability that Luoyang will become a military fortress in the future, and become the core base to resist the eastward expansion of the Han Dynasty.Sooner or later, Yiyang City will be abandoned, and Sima Yi's move is just to gain popularity.

Liu Chan waved his hand and ordered: "Since the former general is the governor of Jingzhou, he will decide whether to choose this city."

After a pause, Liu Chan stopped the scouts again and said, "Let Lu Jingzhou dispatch food and grass to the north to support the Yiyang people who have been relocated. The people must not starve to death."

"promise!"
