contend

Chapter 484
After Liu Chan, the lord of Shu, divided the affairs of Lu Shangshu into three, he couldn't suppress Huang Hao even more.

The current situation of the Kingdom of Shu is that Huang Hao's family dominates inside, and there are many followers. Outside, they support Yan Yu to replace Jiang Wei.

Yan Yu achieved great success without any measure, and was named a right general.

The right general was not the right general, but went to Jiang Wei's general, with the intention of dividing Jiang Wei's power.

There was a lot of discussion between the ruling and opposition parties.

Huang Hao wanted to divide Jiang Wei's military power. The Jingzhou faction and Jiang Wei were wrestling in Hanzhong, while the Jingzhou faction and Huang Hao were fighting in the court, and the Yizhou scholars watched coldly.

The court of Shu Kingdom was full of smoky atmosphere.

"His Majesty fully supported Boyue's Northern Expedition in the past, but this time Huang Hao's support for Yan Yu was obviously aimed at Boyue, yet His Majesty was indifferent!" Dong Jue let out a long sigh.

Although he did not recommend Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition, it was just a matter of political disagreement. Jiang Wei sent troops, but Dong Jue still gave his full support.

"Don't Gong Xi understand that it is not Huang Hao who wants to divide my military power, but His Majesty." Jiang Wei said lightly.

The two have been friends for many years, and there are no outsiders present, so they don't have so many scruples.

How could Dong Jue not know this truth?

The Lord of Shu first divided Lu Shangshu into three, and then divided the power of the general. Of course, there was Huang Hao's instigation, but without the Lord Shu's nod, how could Yan Yu be promoted?
Both fell silent.

After a long time, Dong Jue sighed, "Your Majesty doesn't want to fight anymore."

The Lord of Shu is also fifty-three this year, and the most aggressive people are only in their twenties and thirties. After this age, their spirits will gradually decline.

Jiang Wei made many Northern Expeditions, but he paid a lot and gained very little. Even if Li Jian surrendered with Didao, Jiang Wei couldn't hold on and gave up.

With Duan Gu's defeat, most of Chengdu's elite were lost.

Although they later attacked Chang'an City and took Fufeng County, they still couldn't hold it.

In other words, the various forces in Shu have no ambition to make progress.

Only Jiang Wei persisted.

Under such circumstances, it is clear at a glance how Shu Lord Liu Chan chooses.

He has resigned himself to his fate.

In recent years, the domestic situation has not been very good. The scholars in Jingzhou have been withering day by day. Since Fei Yi was assassinated, the Jingzhou faction has no leading figures. However, the local scholars in Yizhou have gradually risen. They also have their own interests and are unwilling to follow the emperor. There was no motivation for the Northern Expedition.

When Liu Bei entered Shu, his subordinates Zhuge Liang and Fazheng were the masterminds. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, etc. will be his minions. A Guan Yu with 3 horses can be powerful in China, and Cao Cao wants to move his capital to avoid it. disaster.

Now there is only one Jiang Wei struggling to support.

Veteran generals such as Liao Hua and Zhang Yi are already old.

Moreover, Zhang Yi, as a local force in Yizhou, was the first to oppose Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition.

The ideological cracks in the Kingdom of Shu are getting bigger and bigger, so it is not surprising that the Lord of Shu will use Huang Hao to suppress Jiang Wei and Jingzhou scholars.

"Tomorrow, I will urge Your Majesty to kill Huang Hao to thank the world!" Jiang Wei said in a deep voice.

"Bo Yue, the situation is like this, so what if Huang Hao is killed?" Dong Jue's voice was low.

"Kill Huang Hao and get back on your feet. I have already laid a net in Hanzhong. Whether Yang Zheng or Zhong Hui enters, I will capture him!" Jiang Wei had no choice but to use Hanzhong as a bait.

If the whole country does not want the Northern Expedition, then it will attract the enemy to attack.

The Kingdom of Shu needs a big victory like the battle of Luogu back then.

"If this battle is won, the big man still has a chance!" Jiang Wei's eyes sparkled.

Dong Jue was stunned, and after five or six breaths, he bowed deeply to Jiang Wei.

The next day, Jiang Wei had an audience with the Lord of Shu, and charged Huang Hao with crimes such as ruining the people and harming the country, being treacherous and domineering, manipulating authority, and forming a party for personal gain.

Liu Chan really excused Huang Hao, "Hao tended to go to the ear of the little minister and cut his teeth at Dong Yun. I always hate him. Don't you mind!"

Jiang Wei's request to kill Huang Hao is like putting the conflict between the DPRK and China on the stage.

Later, Liu Chan ordered Huang Hao to personally plead guilty to Jiang Wei.

Give the conflict to Huang Hao and Jiang Wei again.

Jiang Wei, who had always been calm, finally became terrified. He was not terrified of Huang Hao, but terrified of Liu Chan's attitude towards him.

If he favors Huang Hao so much, he will be the one who will be in danger in the future.

Jiang Wei came out depressed, just in time to meet his secretary Lang Quezheng, "The great general's misfortune is not far away, if the great general is in danger, the country will be destroyed."

However, Zhengzheng was in a similar situation to Jiang Wei. He was neither a member of the Jingzhou clan nor a Yizhou scholar, and he was considered a rare upright person in the court.

Jiang Wei sighed, "Your Majesty won't listen to me, what can I do?"

"Your Majesty's will is depressed. Why should the general deal with Huang Hao in Chengdu? Now that the gates of Hanzhong are open, Zhong Hui and Yang Zheng are staring at each other. The big battle is about to start. It is time for the general to serve. If he can win the battle, he may be able to continue the country. Zuo." But what he was talking about was the continuation of Guo Zuo, not the restoration of the Han Dynasty.

It can also be seen that the people of Shu are generally pessimistic.

Jiang Wei cupped his hands, "Sir, what you said is true."

So he left Chengdu and went to Tazhong to farm to avoid disaster.

As soon as Jiang Wei left, Huang Hao became more unscrupulous and unstoppable.

Liu Chan's standing on Huang Hao's side is undoubtedly sending out some kind of signal, more people are attached to him, and the situation of Shu Kingdom is getting worse day by day.

Yongan.

Linghu Sheng didn't expect to be promoted so quickly and easily.

A few letters of flattery, and the belongings of the two of them for several years, were sent up, and they immediately got a Zhongdian army, transferred to Chengdu, and officially became Huang Hao's confidant.

Now Huang Hao is also at the time of employing people, especially those who can lead soldiers.

The military system of Shu State is roughly the same as that of Wei State, with five armies.

The front, back, left, and right are equivalent to the Wei foreign army, and the central army has a general, a guard, a supervisor, a guard, a Dian army, and a joiner.

The Zhongdian Army is regarded as a senior general in the Forbidden Army, serving as the guardian of the court.

Before leaving, Linghu invited all the generals and officials of Yong'an to a feast.

"Thank you for the promotion!" Linghu Sheng toasted Yan Yu very respectfully.

Without his recommendation, it would be impossible for Linghu Sheng to walk in front of Huang Hao.

For anything, as long as you find the right path, you can climb up smoothly.

"Ziqian, if you enter Chengdu, you should assist Huang Zhongchang and be loyal to His Majesty." Yan Yu is not a difficult person to get along with.

And he is also a person who cherishes talents.

Prince Sheren Luo Xian was demoted to Badong prefect, and Yan Yu immediately called him to be his deputy to lead the army alone.

"It's natural, the governor and Huang Zhongchang are my benefactors!" Linghu Sheng had seen this kind of scene a lot, and he was able to deal with it with ease, and a few words set the atmosphere in the hall up.

But the only person who is out of place is Luo Xian.

Seeing that Linghu Sheng flattered Huang Hao so much, he felt a little disdainful.

"Sheng Jingluo Prefect." Linghu Sheng has always been conceited in military training, and asked himself that no one in Yong'an City can compare with him, and it is precisely because of this ability that Yan Yu values ​​him.

But after Luo Xian arrived, the two thousand weak soldiers that Yan Yu handed over to him became elite in just two months.

"General Linghu is so polite." Luo Xian still gave Linghu a lot of face, after all they were under the same roof.

"The general's talent is ten times that of mine, and we will meet again someday, and we will have a drink with the general!" Linghu Sheng said sincerely.

The look of disdain on Luo Xian's face disappeared, and he put down the wine bottle, "General Linghu praised me a lot. When I go to Chengdu, I must put the country's affairs first, and help protect the great Han country."

Linghu Sheng laughed: "This is also my long-cherished wish!"
