Chapter 306: The importance of the country, the responsibility of the prince! (Last month’s monthly pass was [-] plus more updates!)

"Does Your Highness know your identity?"

my identity?

Liu Chan nodded immediately and said, "I am the crown prince of Hanzhong. I naturally know this identity."

Zhuge Liang looked expressionless and asked again: "What are the responsibilities of the crown prince of Hanzhong?"

"The prince is the heir!"

Zhuge Liang nodded solemnly and said: "Your Highness also knows that the empire that the king has conquered must be inherited by your Highness, and the unfinished business of the king must be completed by you."

Hearing this, Liu Chan looked puzzled.

"What does the military advisor mean when he says this?"

"Your Highness has been away from Chengdu for some time, right?"

Liu Chan nodded and said, "Including going to Nanzhong, it's been more than a year."

More than a year.

Zhuge Liang said with emotion: "His Highness has been away from Chengdu for too long, and has been away from the king for too long. The king cannot see His Highness all the time, so the feelings will weaken and the suspicion will become heavier.

Officials in Chengdu are bound to become alienated if they cannot see His Highness all the time.

Chengdu's military generals cannot always serve His Highness, so in their hearts, His Highness's weight will become lighter and lighter.

The people of Chengdu cannot always hear about His Highness, and they have little respect for him. "

Liu Chan finally understood.

"The military advisor wants me to return to Chengdu?"

Zhuge Liang nodded heavily.

"The duty of the prince is to inherit the great cause. What your highness is doing now is not the prince's doing, but the general's business. Now the king's health is indeed fine, but there are unforeseen circumstances. In case of illness, your highness If you are not around, won’t it only increase the trouble?”

Liu Chan naturally knew that Zhuge Liang's words made sense, but he also had his own ideas.

"Without me here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete with Wei."

"Hahaha~"

Zhuge Liang laughed loudly and said: "Your Highness left Chengdu, quelled the chaos in Nanzhong, and conquered Jingzhou. Now he has captured Runan. His military achievements are so great that few people in the world can match him. At your age, he has achieved such success." Successful people have never existed before.

But His Highness said that if I am not here, I am afraid that it will be difficult to compete with the Wei State. This is to underestimate His Highness's generals and counselors. "

Seeing that there was no displeasure on Liu Chan's face, Zhuge Liang continued: "Your Highness has opened a martial arts hall and a Chongwen Hall to recruit talents from all over the world. Now, all the scholars from Jingzhou and Runan have fallen into the hands of His Highness! They are Isn’t his talent not worthy of reuse?

Aren't generals such as A Hui Nan, E Huan, Pang De, Yu Jin, Wen Pin and others not brave enough?Jingzhou is guarded by Yunchang and assisted by Yuanzhi, so why worry about it?With Meng Jian and Meng Gong's authority in Runan, how can there be any loss? "

After taking a breath, Zhuge Liang continued: "Now that the situation in Runan has been decided, Jia Xu, Sima Yi and others are afraid that they will not dare to stay in Runan for a long time, and their troops will have to withdraw. Before the internal chaos in Wei is put down, there will be no fighting in Runan. This is a great opportunity for Your Highness to return to Chengdu!"

Also.

The reason why Liu Chan was able to win every battle when he went to Jingzhou, to Nazhong, and even to Runan.

In addition to his good planning, it is also related to his ability to recruit talents and win people's hearts.

This is something given by his status as the crown prince of Hanzhong.

As long as he gives an order to open a martial arts hall, the local nobles will send their children into it, and unconsciously win over their hearts.

This is something Guan Yu and others cannot do.

but.
What Zhuge Liang said makes sense.

He has been away from Chengdu for more than a year.

It's time to go back, too.

Say something outrageous.

If one day Liu Bei really dies, and he is not around, it will indeed increase a lot of variables.

Zhuge Liang is also a very rational person. In fact, Liu Chan has been in danger many times, and now he has the intention to show off his power in Runan, so he has to let him face Liu Chan and have a showdown with him.

His Highness has abilities that few people in the world can match, but the burden he carries is also something that few people in the world can match.

The forces surrounding Liu Bei now have basically invested in Liu Chan.Yuancong faction, such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, not only sent their sons to serve Liu Chan, but also sent their daughters to him.

The Yizhou faction, such as Chang Yu and Wu Yi, have already placed their bets on Liu Chan.

Even the Jingzhou sect, these nobles basically looked up to Liu Chan.

If something happens to His Highness, it will have no less impact than if the King dies.

even bigger.

The king has passed away, and His Highness can take over.

His abilities are recognized by the king's generals, ministers, and nobles.

But something happened to His Highness. Wouldn't there be no one to inherit this huge inheritance?
For example, Liu Bei's other sons are younger and have different statuses.

In today's troubled times, who believes that a weak leader can revive the Han Dynasty?

Liu Bei relied on his righteousness, personal charm, and reputation to revive the Han Dynasty to gather the world's wise people around him.

If those knowledgeable people saw that there was no hope of reviving the Han Dynasty, what would they think and what would they do?

"Jingzhou has been fighting for a long time and is no longer able to carry out military operations. Although Yizhou is owned by our king, the eastern tribes and Bayi people occupy the Sanba area in the east. They still need to be suppressed by Yide. The powerful families in various places are not obedient. Hanzhong is farming. , all wastes are restored, go north to seize Yongliang, and capture the horse breeding land. Go south to quell the barbarians, and obtain barbarian soldiers. It is much better than Your Highness wasting your time in Runan."

Perhaps because he was worried that Liu Chan would not leave, Zhuge Liang quickly assigned three major events to Liu Chan in Yizhou.

First, there was no pacification in Yizhou.

There are many wealthy people in Yizhou who are disobedient.

The Jin people and Bayi were very unruly, and they had colluded with Cao Wei before, causing Liu Bei a lot of trouble.

Second, Hanzhong was in ruins and waiting to be revived. Going north to conquer Yongliang and obtaining pasture to raise horses was the most important thing to revive the Han Dynasty.

Although Liu Chan came up with the idea of ​​hybrid horses.

But for this idea to become a reality, I don’t know how much time it will take.

The third is the barbarians in the south.

Liu Chan only pacified the four counties of Nanzhong.

There are still many untamed barbarians south of the four counties of Nanzhong.

Now that there are few people in Yizhou, if you capture the barbarian population and enrich yourself, you can increase your national power faster.

Besides
The four Nanzhong counties that Liu Chan pacified were not necessarily tamed.

This can be seen in Deng Ai's letters to him.

In Zhuge Liang's view, it will take several years to do any of these three things well. If these three things are done well, it will be ten years later.

Ten years later, the people of Jingzhou have recovered, and when the time comes, His Highness will no longer be afraid of troubles.

no way.
His Highness knows how to fight, but he is also an expert at consuming food, weapons, and baggage.

After these months of fighting, the land in Jingzhou has been thinned out.

Send this little ancestor away first.

"Dangqu in Brazil has a brave and strong people who are good at singing and dancing. The neighboring mountains are overlapping and the dangers are equal to each other. It was the capital of the ancient country. I have heard about it before Zen, and I really want to pacify it."

The land of Brazil really needs to be pacified, and when I think about it, it has indeed been a long time since I left Chengdu.

The Zhang sisters may also miss him very much.

So, Liu Chan nodded and said, "When I explain the follow-up matters in Runan, I will prepare to return to Chengdu."

Seeing Liu Chan agreeing, Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief, quickly saluted Liu Chan and said, "Your Highness is wise."

Liu Chan shook his head, thinking there was nothing wise about this.

"I wonder what the military advisor has to say about this follow-up arrangement?"

Since he was leaving, it was natural to appoint trustworthy and capable people to guard the place.

Otherwise, it would be funny if the territory he had conquered was regained by the Wei army as soon as he left.
