Zhuge was reborn, killed the old thief Sima

Chapter 617 The calm Chang'an City, the uncool Zhuge Liang ([-]st update)
"Kong Ming, please calm down first. Although what Zifang did was inappropriate, it was not completely unreasonable.

Now the Western Region no longer needs us to continue to provide them with food and supplies.

They even started to transport a lot of people, cattle, sheep, war horses, etc. to us.
This is an excellent thing for us.

I also read the previous battle report of Zilong, and Zifang made a lot of contributions! "

In the main hall of Weiyang Palace in Chang'an, Liu Bei was "persuading" Zhuge Kongming in front of him with a smile on his face.

Rather than persuading, it is more about asking Zhuge Liang to give up pursuing Mi Fang.

After all, what Mi Fang did this time, or what the entire Western Region Protectorate did, was indeed completely contrary to Zhuge Liang's ideas.

They didn't do almost everything Zhuge Liang wanted, and they didn't fail at all the things Zhuge Liang didn't want them to do.

It is not incomprehensible for Liu Bei to think that Zhuge Liang wanted someone to bring Mi Fang back and kill him.

After all, it really insulted the majesty of their great country.

But in other words, when Liu Bei, who was crazy about poverty, saw the cattle, sheep, horses, people, money and food sent by the Western Regions Protectorate this time,
Liu Bei is really reluctant to give up.

These things are enough for the people of Yongliang to live a slightly more relaxed life this year.

It can also make him a little more relaxed.

"Kong Ming, in these places under my rule this year, almost no taxes have been collected, and a large amount of money needs to be spent to restore Jingzhou's grain supply.

The repairs of Sanfu and Chang'an also require a steady stream of grain and fodder, and the border of Beidi County is also repairing Wubao and building thousands of beacon towers.
There are also the cities in the land of Yongliang, the post station and official roads in Yizhou Nanzhong.
I know you have worked hard and your hair has almost turned gray because of these things. I really don’t know how to face these chaos without the help of the Prime Minister.

Come and have a rest quickly. "

Liu Bei pulled Zhuge Liang to his side with a smile on his face, and calmed down the matter with a few words.

By the way, let him forget about Fazheng. After all, although Fazheng was not directly involved in this matter, he definitely expected this situation.

Otherwise, he would not have been so firm in his request to send Mi Fang there.

Now there is no problem with Fazheng's idea. Relying on this method, Liu Bei quickly obtained enough food, grass, luggage and even population from the Western Regions.

And Fazheng also hurried to Yizhou to hide, and used this incident to help Liu Bei clean up Yizhou again.

Supervise the farming affairs in Yizhou.

The affairs of the Shangshutai were left to Ma Liang as always, and he used his gentle temperament to help Zhuge Liang handle government affairs.

Everything seems to be very perfect
Except for Zhuge Liang's chest that kept rising and falling.

This matter was finally settled. Zhuge Liang was beyond his reach in the Western Regions at this time. As the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, he still had a lot to do.

The layout for Jiangdong and Northern Xinjiang is also constantly being improved.

Yanmen is closed, and Tian Guorang is unable to maintain its independence, so the deputy general dispatched is also crucial.
Qianzhao's family has been sent to Chang'an, and Qianzhao has also become the captain of the Qiang Guard when he enters Jincheng and cannot go to Yanmen.

Finally, under Pan Jun's recommendation, Zhuge Liang decided to transfer Xiang Chong to Yanmen County in northern Xinjiang.

However, before this matter was officially carried out, Zhuge Liang decided that the land outside the Great Wall outside Beidi County must be governed.

Otherwise, if there is any accident in the future, they may not be able to rescue in time.
And the general who sent troops
"Liang, decided to personally lead the troops to Northern Xinjiang"

As soon as Zhuge Liang finished saying these words, Liu Bei couldn't help being slightly surprised.

"What does Kong Ming mean by this? Is it possible that Xianbei outside Beidi County needs you to go out personally? That's just a small illness. The people of Xianbei are fighting each other now and cannot pose a threat to my big man.

Yanmen Pass is a majestic horse. As long as you defend it well, it won't be a problem.

Kong Ming is already extremely tired from handling the government affairs of the Han Dynasty. It would be too hard if he was on an expedition.

It would be better to tune Wen Chang back, or to use Meng Qi. Previously, Wen Chang had recommended several young generals, Ju Fu, Zhang Yi, and Liu Yin from Chengdu, both of whom were good generals.

Ma Zhong from Nanzhong seems to be doing a very good job. I am a big man and there is no shortage of generals now. "

"Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei in front of him, but in the end he did not change his mind, "If we just fill the gap in Beidi County and maintain the road between Beidi County and Yanmen.

Then of course they have no problem.

But this time, Liang is not like that! "

"Isn't that true?" Liu Bei couldn't help but frown, "Is it possible that Kong Ming is still planning to fight him out this time?"

"Your Majesty's lesson!" Zhuge Liang directly admitted this matter, "Bingzhou was also a vast area in those days, and it was an indispensable place in northern Xinjiang for my great man.

But in recent years, both Yuan Benchu ​​and Cao Mengde have only managed to save half of Bingzhou.

Shangdang, Xihe, Taiyuan, Shangjun and Yanmen.
This even includes the promised gathering place for the Xiongnu, the gathering place for Wuhuan, and the place for the inward migration of Xianbei.

Less than [-]% of the places are actually usable.

But the real places outside the Great Wall in Bingzhou, Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, and Dingxiang have all been lost.

It became a place for horse herding by Xianbei and other Hulu people.

Liang felt that since we had completely stabilized Beidi County and captured Yanmen County in Bingzhou.

It is better to take advantage of this opportunity and directly recover the four counties outside the Great Wall of Bingzhou.

In this way, Bingzhou can be completely surrounded and connected to Youzhou.

It will be more convenient for me to wait in the future.”

"Wait! Kong Ming, wait a minute!" Liu Bei certainly agreed with this idea, but he couldn't understand how Zhuge Liang would make such a request at this time.

"Your Majesty, does it feel inappropriate?"

"No, I just think, Kong Ming, why do you want to regain the land of Bingzhou at this time?
There are also a large number of Xianbei forces such as Bu Dugen outside Bingzhou. If we really fight with them, I am afraid this will not be a battle that can be resolved in a short time."

"That's why we must fight this battle!" Zhuge Liang's eyes became hot at this time, "The only way is to kill or subdue the barbarians like Bu Dugen who are towards the Cao family.

Only then can we gradually cut off Cao's reinforcements and the steady stream of cavalry.

The next battle will not only compete for the land of Jiangdong, but also the national destiny of my great Han!

Before that, Liang wanted to cut off as many of Cao's arms as possible. "

"But this food and baggage is heavy." At this time, Liu Bei had only one last question, "I'm afraid we will have to use it to supply the army with food and baggage."

"Liang understands, so this time, Liang is not planning to use the food from my Chang'an Treasury!"
