Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

At dusk, the sky and the earth were dark, and rows of wild geese flew across the sky from the south, making crisp chirping sounds.

Fiery red banners fluttered on the Luoyang City Tower, naked wrestlers beat the drum with drumsticks, and musicians blew huge horns.

The doorway at the bottom of the city was wide open, and the soldiers of the Han army on both sides stood holding halberds, and the cavalry with wings on their backs lined up solemnly.Xia Houxuan, General Zhengxi, took the lead, holding the seal of General Zhengxi; behind him, Sima Qi, governor of Henan County, held the county seal of Henan County in his hand; the important civil and military officials in Luoyang City were clearly ranked, holding the bamboo slips of the population of Henan County, waiting quietly Waiting for the arrival of the emperor.

A little later, the car carrying the emperor slowly stopped dozens of steps in front of the crowd, and Liu Chan got out of the car wearing armor.

Xia Houxuan and Sima Qi lowered their heads, knelt down to place the seal, and shouted loudly: "The guilty general Xia Houxuan, together with the officials in the army and the officials in Henan County, surrendered to the great Han. May Your Majesty forgive us for our crimes."

With a smile on the corner of Liu Chan's mouth, he helped Xia Houxuan himself, and comforted him, "Why do you call yourself a sinner? In the past, it was just each master. Today, the general knows the general situation, knows the general situation, and surrenders to the Han. When you have trouble, the general will work hard for the big man!"

"Thank you Your Majesty for your great love, I will never give up!" Xia Houxuan replied.

Liu Chan patted Xia Houxuan's arm to express his satisfaction with him.Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. When I first saw Xia Houxuan, I observed his appearance.There is a sense of entering the ancestral temple, as if seeing ritual musical instruments.

As a king, Liu Chan has met many people. Zhuge Liang may be able to compare with Xia Houxuan in appearance.It's no wonder that after Xia Houxuan was imprisoned, Zhong Hui valued his color and wanted to take the opportunity to get close to him.

Handsome appearance, coupled with extraordinary family background, outstanding talent, this is why he can become the flagpole among Cao Wei Shilin.

Liu Chan briefly reassured him. Except for Xia Houxuan who was not granted titles, all the officials who surrendered were appointed. For example, Sima Qi, the prefect of Henan, was promoted to Yin of Chengdu.

Sima Qi was a native of Wen County, Hanoi, after Sima Zhi, the Minister of Cao Wei. He had no family relationship with Sima Yi, but only a person with the same surname.Because of political disagreements with Cao Shuang, he was sent from Ting Wei to Henan County as the prefect.

The reason why Liu Chan did not award Xia Houxuan for the time being is mainly because Xia Houxuan's reputation is too high. It can be said that Xia Houxuan is by far the highest-ranking and most famous official since he surrendered to the Han Dynasty.It is really difficult to arrange, it is not suitable for him to serve in the army, and there is no suitable position for him in the court for the time being, so he has to be let go.

Liu Chan looked up and looked at the word "Luoyang" engraved on the city wall, and ordered: "Come here, change Luoyang to Luoyang of Fire Virtue, in the name of Zhengda Han Fire Virtue."

"promise!"

Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was naturally a virtue of fire, and the word Luo with water was disliked, which would hinder the fortune of the Eastern Han Dynasty.So Luoyang was changed to Luoyang, the sound of Luo is Tongluo, the word is the same as Luo, and the word belongs to Huode.Adding fire to the fire, the fortune of the Eastern Han Dynasty is bound to prosper.

In the Cao Wei period, Cao Pi thought that Cao Wei was Tude, and Tuke Shui also.Therefore, Luoyang was changed to Luoyang again, thinking that Cao Wei could restrain the moisture in Luoyang.

Now that Liu Chan has entered Luoyang, it is natural to remove the traces of Cao Wei.

After accepting the surrender, Liu Chan invited Xia Houxuan to drive into the city with him to show his courtesy.

In the car, Liu Chan supported the wooden railing on the car, and asked: "Qing has been the Minister of Wei for a long time, and he knows the inside story very well. I don't know what you can teach me?"

Xia Houxuan glanced at the humble emperor of the Han Dynasty, and said, "Your Majesty, since Cao Shuang took power, although he had the ambition to help the world, his actions were illegal and he lost the hearts of the officials. As expected, After Sima Yi entangled the old ministers to seize power, he would promote the talented, reuse talents, follow the old political laws, and please the hearts of the people. Cao Shuang must correct what he lost in the hearts of the people. He must work hard all day long and dare not lose anything. Monarchs and ministers Concentricity is not something that can be restrained for a while!"

Liu Chan frowned, and asked, "Your intention is that it is difficult for me, a big man, to defeat Sima Yi and rule the world in a short period of time?"

Xia Houxuan seemed to have heard Liu Chan's dissatisfaction, and after careful consideration, he said, "Your Majesty, Sima Yi is getting older, and his death may not be far away. Sima Yi has a very high reputation in Wei, but his son Sima Shi may not be, if he is ill If your majesty wants to win the Central Plains in a battle, it is better to wait for Sima Yi to die of illness and send troops to attack him when Wei is in turmoil."

After a pause, Xia Houxuan was worried about Liu Chan's dissatisfaction, and cupped his hands and said, "This is my humble opinion, Your Majesty can listen to it for now."

Liu Chan took Xia Houxuan's arm and said: "Your words are quite insightful, let me think about it. Now I belong to a man, please rest assured, don't be suspicious, I am not a king who does not accept good words."

"promise!"

What Xia Houxuan said was not unreasonable.He was also a member of the Cao Shuang Group before and knew its internal situation.At present, Sima Yi seized the power of q in an accident, in fact, he obeyed the thoughts of Cao Wei veterans and other scholars.This is why Sima Yi was able to easily take charge of the affairs of the court after Cao Shuang surrendered.

Sima Yi, who has regained power, will definitely abolish Cao Shuang's past policy of causing people's resentment, and win over the middle and high school nobles, powerful and powerful to stabilize the foundation.To be honest, Wei Guo, who is so united, is not easy to deal with.

However, such a state of Wei is also fragile. They are just the last strength gathered by the veterans of Cao Wei, trying to save Cao Wei and resist the attack of the big man.Once they are defeated, they will become like dominoes, causing a chain reaction and all falling down.Therefore, Cao Wei is currently both strong and fragile.

This is also Xia Houxuan's suggestion that Liu Chan consume Sima Yi to death. When Sima Yi dies, Cao Wei, who has no leader among the dragons, will inevitably make waves again.At this time, Cao Wei, who lacked a leader, lost their solid shell, leaving only the fragile people.Whenever the army is defeated, it will completely end Cao Wei's rule.

Liu Chan naturally knew the deep meaning of Xia Houxuan.But the reason why Liu Chan didn't adopt it was also simple. On the one hand, he wanted to unify the world as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he also needed to see if his ministers had better opinions.

Driving in the car, Liu Chan watched the palaces in Luoyang City all the way. Compared with his narrow palace city in Chang'an, the Luoyang Palace and Taiji Hall built by Cao Wei were really luxurious and magnificent.

Liu Chan's car drove straight along the avenue and stopped in front of the Tai Chi Hall.After getting out of the car, Xia Houhui greeted him and saluted Liu Chan.

"The concubine pays homage to His Majesty!" Xiahou Hui bowed and said, "I have already ordered someone to finish the palace, please Your Majesty to rest in the palace."

Seeing the exhausted Xiahouhui, Liu Chan, who originally wanted to blame her, was speechless, so he stepped forward to support Xiahouhui, stroked his back, and said in a gentle voice, "Madam, you have worked hard! Today I entered the city to persuade her to surrender. Elder brother, madam, but it is too dangerous, madam is a body of a thousand pieces of gold, and you need to take care of yourself. If there is an accident, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to see Qing!"

Xia Houhui felt a warm current in his heart, and said: "The concubine knows herself, what is the life and death of the concubine to help His Majesty unify Luoyang as soon as possible!"

Liu Chan held Xia Houhui's hand tightly, and entered the palace with her.

It was night, Liu Chan was working in the side hall that Xia Houhui had finished cleaning, and summoned his confidant Wenwu.

"Zijun, what is the deployment of the sergeants?" Liu Chan asked.

Wang Ping straightened his back, cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, I have ordered Wei Jun to descend with our generals to go to Guangcheng, Yique, Dagu, Xuanyuan, Mengjin, Hulao and other passes to recruit Wei soldiers from each pass Replacement. As for the county magistrates of Pingyin, Yiyang, Yanshi, Gongxian and other cities, they all surrendered to us, but the officials were not replaced."

Although Luoyang is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with Qinling Mountains in the west, Songyue Mountain in the east, and the danger of the Yellow River in the north, it is a basin terrain, but in fact there are many tunnels, forming the eight passes of Luoyang.The occupation of these passes is the foundation for the big man to completely control Luoyang, to advance and attack, and to retreat and defend.

Liu Chan pondered for a while, and replied: "Sima Qi was promoted to Chengdu Yin, and the Henan county governor has no one to manage affairs. How about letting Yin Li succeed the county governor, handle government affairs, and appease the people?"

After Cao Wei went to Yecheng, he demoted Henan Yin to Henan County, and after Liu Chan took over Luoyang, he still set up Henan County, and merged with Hongnong County into Sili.According to the current Sili, there should be Jingzhao, Zuo Fengyi, You Fufeng, Hongnong, and the five counties of Henan.

"I think it's feasible. Yin Shizhong has been dedicated to his duties since he joined our Han Dynasty. He is talented and knows military affairs. He can be the prefect of Henan County." Guan Xing replied.

"Yes!" Liu Chan nodded slightly, and said, "Let Chang'an select officials to serve as Hongnong prefects, and don't abolish spring plowing."

"promise!"
