Mi Han

Chapter 188
Lu Yi, styled Jiyang, was born in Nanyang, Jingzhou.

Lu Yi's father, Lu Chang, sent Liu Yan, the former shepherd of Yizhou, into Shu County, but was unable to return to the Central Plains because the official road was blocked.

Lu Yi lost his father since he was a child, and loved reading and playing the piano.

At the beginning, Liu Bei pacified Yizhou and set up the post of Captain of Yanfu to manage the financial income of Yantie.

Yanfu Xiaowei Wang Lian from Nanyang asked Lu Yi, Du Qi from Nanyang, and Liu Gan from Nanxiang to be the captain of Diancao.

During his tenure as the captain of Diancao, Lu Yi had great political achievements. Yantie Xiaowei Wang Lian once wrote a letter to Liu Bei, praising Lu Yi.

Because of this move, Lu Yi entered Liu Bei's sight.

At the beginning, Liu Bei wanted to find one or two talented people to assist Mi Yang in handling government affairs after completing the examination and teaching. Lu Yi was one of Liu Bei's choices.

And Liu Bei chose another talented person to assist Mi Yang, named Zhang Yi, styled Boqi.

Zhang Yi was born in Nanchongguo County, Brazil County. He was born in a poor family, but he was open-minded and heroic.

When Zhang Yi was weak, he was the county meritorious officer. When Liu Bei pacified Yizhou, mountain bandits invaded the county, and the county magistrate fled with his family.

Zhang Yi took the county magistrate's wife with him, braved the bandits' swords, spears and halberds, and fought a bloody road, and the county magistrate's wife was saved.

As a result, Zhang Ni gained a certain reputation in the local area, so he was recruited by Liu Bei to work in the state.

The two talents Liu Bei selected for Mi Yang were all carefully selected.

First of all, both Lu Yi and Zhang Yi have experience in government, so that they can assist Mi Yang in handling government affairs.

Secondly, Lu Yi, Zhang Yi and Mi Yang are similar in age, and although these two have a certain reputation in Yizhou, they are completely different from Mi Yang.

In addition, Mi Yang's official position is much higher than them. Under such circumstances, it is possible to guarantee that Lu Yi and Zhang Yi will assist Mi Yang wholeheartedly.

When Mi Yang knew that Liu Bei had appointed these two people to assist him, Mi Yang was quite happy in his heart.

Thinking about his previous team, it was either Meng Da or Deng Ai, or the surrendered generals Ding Feng, Ding Feng and others.

These people cannot be said to be incapable, it can only be said that they are all good generals who are better at martial arts.

Of course, Deng Ai is a great talent with both civil and military skills, but Deng Ai's resume is too blank. If he wants fame, he will not have reputation, and if he wants meritorious service, he will not have merit.

Even if Mi Yang thinks highly of him, it is impossible to entrust him with important tasks immediately, and more often he can only be used as a staff officer.

Both Lv Yi and Zhang Yi have political talents and have a certain reputation for meritorious service. When Mi Yang arrives in Hanxing County, they can be entrusted with important tasks immediately, so that the government affairs of Hanxing County can be promoted as soon as possible. on track.

It can be said that Liu Bei is worthy of being a king who is good at employing people, and his arrangements for personnel are just right.

Because Lv Yi once served as the Duwei of Diancao, the school captain of Yanfu, and the Duwei of Diancao was in charge of the transportation of military supplies, so Lv Yi knew the terrain of Yizhou quite well.

Because of Lu Yi's strengths, Mi Yang handed over the general marching route to Lu Yi to plan after the army set off.

After Mi Yang summoned Lu Yi, Mi Yang asked Lu Yi: "I just received the information that Cao Cao in the north is dead, and there may be great changes in the north."

"Based on the route arranged by Ji Yang, how long will it take for our army to reach Hanxing County?"

Seeing that Mi Yang summoned him to ask about this matter, Lu Yi answered truthfully: "The mountains in the middle of Shu are densely covered, and the official roads are not smooth. Now it is the most convenient route for the army to march north from the Fu River to the Han River.

On this route, if everything goes well, within ten days, you can reach the west city. "

Xiling is the county closest to Yizhou in Hanxing County. After arriving at Xiling, you can go down the Han River and reach Shangyong County in Hanxing County in just two days.

Hearing Lu Yi, Mi Yang nodded, and then he urged the army to move forward quickly.

Originally, in order to rush to Hanxing County to take up his post as soon as possible, Mi Yang's army was not slow, but now under Mi Yang's urging again, the marching speed of the whole army has accelerated by three points.

Within three days, more than ten thousand troops led by Mi Yang had arrived in Guanghan County.

Under the arrangement of the county guard, more than ten thousand troops boarded the warships that had been prepared long ago, and traveled all the way back to the north.

Although it was going upstream, with the help of water transportation, Mi Yang's army moved very fast.

A few days later, Mi Yang's army had already arrived outside the west city.

The predecessor of Hanxing County was Dongsan County, which were Xicheng County, Shangyong County, and Fangling County.

The predecessor of Dongsan County is the three counties of Xicheng, Shangyong and Fangling in Hanzhong County.

After Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, occupied Fangling County, he changed the county into a county and belonged to Jingzhou.

Later Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong and Zhang Lu surrendered. Cao Cao divided Hanzhong into three and placed Xicheng and Shangyong counties under the jurisdiction of Nanyang County.

Now, in order to facilitate the unification of the Northern Expedition in the future, Liu Bei abolished the three counties as counties, and merged the jurisdictions of these three counties into Hanxing County.

In other words, Mi Yang, the prefect of Hanxing County, mainly counties under his jurisdiction are the three counties of Xicheng, Shangyong, and Fangling.
After Liu Bei abolished Xicheng County as a county, Shen Yi, the former prefect of Xicheng, became the head of Xicheng County.

Another important reason why Liu Bei abolished the county as a county was to punish the Shen brothers.

The brothers Shen Dan and Shen Yi were originally powerful families in Xicheng and Shangyong. After Liu Biao took Fangling County, Xicheng and Shangyong counties have been in the hands of the Shen brothers.

An important reason for the official establishment of the East Three Counties was that Cao Cao wanted to use the local powerful Shen brothers to achieve the result of stabilizing Handong.

Because the Shen brothers had great influence in Hanxing County, Liu Bei believed that they were also responsible for Liu Feng's failure to rescue Guan Yu.

Therefore, he demoted the Shen brothers as county magistrates one after another, and deprived the Shen brothers of their military posts as punishment.

Among the Shen brothers, Shen Dan had no objection to Liu Bei's move, but Shen Yi had some complaints in her heart.

It's just that he is afraid of Liu Bei's power today, so he has always dared not object to Liu Bei's decision on the surface.

When Mi Yang, the new prefect of Hanxing, arrived outside Xicheng, Shen Yi, the magistrate of Xicheng, immediately led his staff out of the city to welcome Mi Yang's arrival.

If in the past, Shen Yi was a general of Jianxin, while Mi Yang was a partial general, Shen Yi's military rank was higher than that of Mi Yang.

But now Shen Yi's military position has been deprived, and his official position has also been demoted to Xicheng county magistrate, so his status is far inferior to that of Mi Yang.

The three counties of Hanxing County are all built beside the water system, and Xicheng is beside the Han River, so Mi Yang met Shen Yi on the building boat.

After seeing Shen Yi, Mi Yang showed great enthusiasm.

Before Shen Yi bowed down to him, Mi Yang hurried forward to hold his hand, and then walked to the inside of the boat.

This scene made Shen Yi fearful. That's how Zhang Fei held his hand and dragged him all the way to Xiangyang.
It's just that Mi Yang's next move dispelled Shen Yi's worries.

After Mi Yang dragged Shen Yi into the attic on the tall ship, he immediately asked his servants to offer food and wine, and then they drank together with Shen Yi in the attic on the tall ship.

When drinking with Shen Yi, Mi Yang also summoned Meng Da, Zhang Yi, Lu Yi, Deng Ai, Ding Feng, Ding Feng and others to accompany him.

At the banquet in the attic of the Louchuan, Mi Yang frequently raised his glass to pay tribute to Shen Yi, without showing any slightest contempt for Shen Yi.

After drinking for three rounds, Mi Yang said to Shen Yi: "Before I was in Chengdu, I couldn't come to Hanxing to handle government affairs in person."

"The prefect is not here, but Hanxing County has been able to remain stable as before. All this is due to Yidu and brother Zun."

The Shen brothers, Shen Dan's character is righteous, and Shen Yi's character is righteous.

When Mi Yang said these words, there was a sincere admiration on his face.

Mi Yang's attitude gradually made Shen Yi, who was originally complaining, feel better.

The Shen family was originally the local snake in Hanxing County. In Hanxing County, if there is wind and rain, they are almost the emperors of a side.

Later, Cao Cao captured Hanzhong County, fearing the influence of their Shen clan, so he could only appease them by adding officials and ranks.

After Liu Bei took over Hanxing County, he also showed great respect and favor to them.

Originally, things could continue according to the original context, so it doesn't matter that Shen Yi will be Liu Bei's loyal minister all his life.

But I didn't expect that everything changed after Liu Feng's arrival.

Not only did Liu Feng occupy his status as Liu Bei's adopted son, but he was domineering in Hanxing County, and he looked down on their Shen brothers.

Even later, because of his selfishness, he and his elder brother were disgusted by Liu Bei, and all military positions were deprived as a result.

Before, she was a prefect of a county with the title of general, but now she is only a small county magistrate. It is impossible for Shen Yi to have no complaints in her heart.

Later, Shen Yi heard that Liu Bei appointed Mi Yang as the prefect of Hanxing.

Shen Yi had no objection to Mi Yang serving as the prefect of Hanxing County.

After all, although Mi Yang was just a general with a lower military rank than before, Liu Feng was also in charge of the three eastern counties as a Zhonglang general at the beginning.

Besides, Mi Yang's prestige is definitely not comparable to that of Liu Feng. Although Shen Yi does not agree with such a famous general who has made great contributions to serve as her superior, she has no resistance.

The only thing Shen Yi was worried about before was that Mi Yang would be more domineering than Liu Feng. After all, Mi Yang's reputation in the world today is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

With such anxiety in mind, Shen Yi took the initiative to visit Mi Yang, but Mi Yang's behavior was far beyond his expectations.

Compared with Liu Feng's domineering, Mi Yang is approachable and has no airs.

There is no harm without comparison, and Shen Yi has a very good impression of Mi Yang.

With a good impression, Shen Yi also flattered Mi Yang to the fullest.

Facing Mi Yang's praise, Shen Yi also raised his glass to look at Mi Yang and said: "The general is a man of wealth, and the public security is famous all over the world.

Although the general was not in the county before, the stability of Hanxing County was all due to the general's prestige. "

"My brother and I dare not be greedy for credit."

Shen Yi's praise seemed to benefit Mi Yang very much, he kept smiling, and that smile was telling Shen Yi that if he knew how to praise, he would praise more.

Of course, Shen Yi tried her best to satisfy Mi Yang's request.

Under Mi Yang's deliberate win-win and Shen Yi's deliberate flattery, the meeting on the boat went very happily.

Especially when Shen Yi saw that Meng Da, who used to have a similar position to him, was now just a Sima under Mi Yang's command, he felt a little more joyful in his heart.

The scene where Mi Yang and Shen Yi had a good time made Lu Yi and Zhang Ni, who had just entered Mi Yang's tent, look uneasy.

This is the famous Hanlu?

Could it be this kind of people who are greedy for fame?

Although Lu Yi and Zhang Ni came to Han Xingzhong County for the first time, they had been in Shuzhong for a long time, and they had heard of the reputation of Hanzhong Shen brothers in Liu Zhang's time.

At that time, although Zhang Lu was the prefect of Hanzhong, the Handong area was almost an independent kingdom of the Shen brothers.

As early as 20 years ago, the Shen brothers gathered thousands of families in Xiping and Shangyong.

On the one hand, they had close ties with Zhang Lu, and on the other hand, they sent envoys to worship Cao Cao, just like a local independent princes.

Facing such a strong and powerful place, if Mi Yang trusts too much, he will suffer a lot.

Lu Yi, who has a straightforward personality, has a rather unsightly expression on his face.

The same is true for Zhang Yi, who was born in a poor family, and he also did not understand Mi Yang's move to get close to Shen Yi.

Only the Ding Feng brothers are not surprised by this scene. The local powerful forces in Jiangdong are the strongest under Sun Quan's stocking.

So when they followed Gan Ning and Lu Xun to garrison in various places, these two generals also mainly wooed the local wealthy families.

As for Meng Da, he seemed to be indifferent to the scene in front of him, concentrating on eating and drinking, but there was some sympathy for Shen Yi in his eyes.

Of all the people present, only Meng Da, who is a good friend of Fazheng, knows a lot about Mi Yang's past.

Mi Yang grew up reciting "Shu Ke" from a young age. Under this kind of influence, Meng Da didn't believe that Mi Yang would trust Shen Yi so credulously.

After drinking together for a long time, Mi Yang saw that it was getting late, so he asked Shen Yi to go back to the city first.

When leaving, Shen Yi, who was already drunk, seemed to inadvertently ask Mi Yang: "Master Fu, will you leave for Shangyong tomorrow?"

Shangyong is the prefecture of Hanxing County. If Mi Yang wants to truly perform his duties as prefect, he must go to Shangyong City.

It's just that after hearing Shen Yi's question, Mi Yang replied indifferently: "Let's talk about tomorrow's matter tomorrow."

After hearing Mi Yang's answer, Shen Yi bowed and left immediately.

Just when he turned around, a smile appeared on his face.

Mi Yang's answer was also heard by Lu Yi and others behind him. After Shen Yi left, Lu Yi finally couldn't help it. Han Xing, and urged the march."

"Now the Lord Fu has arrived in Xicheng, why not go directly down the river and arrive at Shangyong to preside over the government affairs of a county. The Lord Fu is inconsistent, which makes Yi puzzled."

Facing Lu Yi's doubts, Mi Yang replied with a smile: "Have Ji Yang ever heard of "Fan Mengbo, the prefect of Runan, Hua Nuo, the chief patron of the Nanyang clan.Cen Gongxiao, the prefect of Nanyang, Hongnong Chengxuan but sitting and howling" these two proverbs?"

Although Lu Yi lived in the middle of Shu when he was young, he was originally from Nanyang, so he naturally heard this proverb.

These two proverbs are about: Zongzi, the prefect of Runan, trusted Fan Pang, entrusted him with all the political affairs in the county, and only signed and issued documents.The prefect of Nanyang, Cheng Yu, also handed over all the official affairs to Cen Yan, but he himself was all right.

Therefore, the folk songs at that time sarcastically said that the meritorious Caos of Runan and Nanyang became the prefects, but the prefects had nothing to do.

On the surface, this is the reason why Zongzi and Cen Zong appointed talented people, but in fact it reflects that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the local big clans were enough to overshadow the prefect of a county.

Fan Pang was from a great family in Runan, while Cen Yan was from a great family in Nanyang.

After Lu Yi already had a thoughtful look on his face, Mi Yang said to Lu Yi: "I don't want to sit and scream, nor do I want to make promises, I just want to be in charge of the government."

After Mi Yang finished speaking, he entered the inner room.

Mi Yang's words made Lu Yi guess a possibility, and at this time Deng Ai patted Lu Yi's shoulder and said to him:
"Prime Minister, trust the Lord."

Compared with Lu Ai who just joined Mi Yang's command, Deng Ai has followed Mi Yang the longest, so he knows Mi Yang best.

Mi Yang is a person with ambition, how can an ambitious person tolerate the tyranny of the Shen brothers who are enough to separate one side?
Just as Mi Yang said to him, how could others be allowed to sleep soundly on the side of the couch.
