Ji Han Da Sima

Chapter 571 Huo Du scolds his mother
Liu Bei has great talent and can convince everyone. The so-called importance of the Southern Han Dynasty seemed not to be apparent when he was alive. After his death, many Han officials knew of its importance.

Now that Liu Bei passed away, in addition to letting Cao Pi sharpen his sword and plan to conquer the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, the Bashu that Liu Bei thought about before he died, because of his death, the conflicts that had accumulated before broke out at once.

Huang Yuan, the governor of Hanjia, had conflicts with Zhuge Liang and was worried that Zhuge Liang would punish him after Liu Bei's death. Under the instigation of Chief Registrar Wang Yin, he killed the county captain and seized the military power of Hanjia.

Wang Yinqi belonged to the Hanjia clan and had long been dissatisfied with the Southern Han Dynasty's population search. In the past, he did not dare to resist due to Liu Bei's authority. Now that Liu Bei passed away, Wang Yin couldn't hold himself back and immediately instigated Huang Yuan to rebel.

After Huang Yuan captured the soldiers of Hanjia County, with the help of Wang Yin and other powerful clans, he gathered more than 10,000 people to formally rebel, broke through Linqiong, and plundered the people in the countryside.

Pan Jun, the governor of Yizhou, had no military power. He could only guard the cities of Shu County with the prefect of Shu County. He urgently reported the military situation to Wuhan and asked for troops to suppress Huang Yuan's rebellion.

Because Pan Jun was well prepared and Huang Yuan had many soldiers, it was difficult to break the city.

After Huang Yuan plundered one side, he wanted to flee to Longyou and asked Ma Chao for protection. However, under Wang Yin's persuasion, Huang Yuan decided to ask for help from Gaoding, the Yi commander of Yuexun County, on Yanniuwanglang Road.

Langlu, the king of Yanniu, was unwilling to start an army with Huang Yuan because of the peaceful government of the Han Dynasty. After Yi Commander Gao Ding learned of Liu Bei's death, he immediately agreed to Huang Yuan's request and sent Li Qiucheng, the senior commander of the capital, to kill Jiao Huang, the prefect of Yuexun.

Hanjia County is adjacent to Yuexun County, and the two counties are connected through the Yanniu Road. Seeing that the two counties had rebelled on Langlu Road, Yanniu King did not dare to block the road and allowed Huang Yuan and Gaoding to join together.

Although Meng Huo was not happy to receive the order, because Yong Kai was his benefactor, Meng Huo had no choice but to go into the mountains to deceive the barbarians.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bao was immediately furious. After Mi Fang left office, Li Yan changed the previous profit distribution system in order to show his talents. Their heroes and commanders received less money than before, and they often had to listen to Li Yan's reprimands.

How could Li Yan believe Zhu Bao's words? In order to nip the danger in the bud, Li Yan wanted to lead his troops eastward to conquer Zhu Bao, thinking that he would kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

After Zhu Bao learned about it, he was not afraid but got angry, and immediately took Buqu to find Chang Fang.

Changfang believed that he had a powerful man as his backer, so he humiliated Zhu Bao with words and asked him not to forget his financial favors. Now if Gaoding and Huang Yuan rebel, the Han will send troops to kill them.

In order to set off a greater wave of rebellion, Gao Ding and Huang Yuan contacted the powerful and handsome commanders of Zangzhou and Yizhou counties through letters to seek military assistance.

In a fierce verbal conflict, Zhu Bao was whipped by Chang Fang because of his close confidant, and with the instigation of his left and right, he beheaded Chang Fang. Afterwards, Zhu Bao told Li Yan that Chang Fang rebelled and was killed by him.

Unexpectedly, he was discovered by barbarians and informed Zhu Bao. Zhu Bao knew that he would not be able to escape, so he immediately killed the prefect Xu Zhan, occupied Xangqi County, and responded to the Gaoding and Huang Yuan armies.

Li Yan, the governor of Nanzhong, was unable to contain the rebels in Nanzhong. Except for Zhu Ti, no one in Nanzhong was controlled by the Han Dynasty. Moreover, Huang Yuan was entrenched in Hanjia, and with the support of the powerful clans, he repeatedly invaded Shu County.

Li Yan was well prepared. In addition to asking for troops from Wuhan, in order to prevent the expansion of the rebellion in Nanzhong, he sent Chief Secretary Changfang to go south with his letters, hoping to persuade Zhu Bao, the chief minister of Zangda County, and Yong Kai, a wealthy family in Yizhou County, not to rebel.

Because Yongchang County was too far away from the center of the rebellion, and the wealthy Lu Kai was unwilling to rebel, Yongchang County was spared.

In order to defeat Li Yan, Zhu Bao wrote a letter to instigate Yong Kai, a wealthy family in Yizhou County, to rebel. He used himself as an example to show that the Han Dynasty could not be trusted and that the Han Dynasty was now dead. The powerful and sect leaders of their three counties were destroyed, and it would be Yizhou's turn next. The commander-in-chief is powerful and the commander-in-chief.

Hanjia and Yuexun counties are located in the southwest of Yizhou, among high mountains. The rebellion in the two counties shook the Nanzhong counties.

Yongkai's Yizhou County was located between the two counties of Zangge and Yuexi. Seeing that there were separatist regimes on both sides, he did not listen to Meng Huo's advice and led his tribe to rebel. He killed the prefect of Yizhou Zheng'ang and proclaimed himself the prefect of Yizhou. Because of Meng Huo's prestige, Yong Kai ordered Meng Huo to let the barbarians from South China raise troops with him.

Zhuti County, where Li Yan was located, was surrounded by enemies on three sides and was surrounded by rebels. Due to the disparity in military strength, Li Yan had no choice but to retreat to Zhuti County.

Meng Huo, who entered the mountains, wanted to coax the barbarians to rebel and took advantage of the barbarians' trust in him. He lied that the new emperor had ascended to the throne, that he wanted to recruit concubines, and that he wanted to use large trees to repair the palace, all of which had to go out from the south. The barbarians were encouraged by Meng Huo's persuasive tongue and followed Yong Kai in rebellion.

Changfang went south on Li Yan's order. In order to deter Zhu Bao, he immediately led people to capture his cronies, hoping to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys and let Zhu Bao know his interests.

More than a month after Liu Bei's death, the four counties of Hanjia, Zangdao, Yuexun, and Yizhou rebelled collectively.

Not only that, Huang Yuan, who was born as a Han Chinese, knew that there were a large number of barbarians in Wenshan County. So I contacted Wenshan Qiang. The Wenshan Qiang rebelled and attacked Wenshan County and killed the officials.

In the face of such a large-scale rebellion, the three counties of Shu, Guanghan and Qianwei were unable to fight back and could only use county soldiers to protect themselves.

The troops in the Chongqing metropolitan area had no central military orders, and the governor Lu Xun was far away in Wuhan, so they had no choice but to stand still. The governor of Hanzhong, He Qi, was defending Hanzhong and worried that Cao Wei would take the opportunity to use troops and would not be able to go south to quell the rebellion. When the letter asking for help traveled thousands of miles to Wuhan, it was delivered to Huo Da Sima. Huo Da Sima could only scold his mother. Not long after he became a powerful official, he encountered this kind of thing.

Putting the letter on the case, Huo Jun picked up the letter from Lu Dai, the governor of Jiaozhou, and when he saw the content, he cursed in his heart.

Lu Dai reported the sorrow but not the good news. His letter stated that the Hepu barbarians defeated Gaoliang, killed the county magistrates and rebelled, and the number of barbarians who followed him was ten or twenty thousand. Fortunately, Lu Dai had already led his troops to fight against the thieves.

Seeing that the situation in Jiaozhou was under control, Huo Jun rubbed his head and picked up several battle reports sent by Yizhou again, preparing to sort out the real progress of the situation in Yizhou before everyone arrived.

The intelligence needed to be analyzed. The battle report sent to Wuhan was not reported by Pan Jun alone, but came from all levels of civil and military officials in Yizhou. Because of the large scale of the rebels, they need to be analyzed one by one.

After analyzing for a while, Huo Jun breathed a sigh of relief when he understood the essence of Nanzhong's rebellion. If it is a barbarian rebellion, it is difficult to suppress it; if the Han people rebel, it can be conquered and appeased at the same time, as in history.

The Huang Yuan Rebellion was mostly caused by the death of Liu Bei and involved local nobles; the Nanzhong Rebellion was mostly led by powerful Han people, but Yuexun County was initiated by barbarians.

It is not difficult to understand why the powerful people in South China rebelled. Since the Han Dynasty, with the development of South China, powerful Han people have married with local barbarians, forming a community of in-law interests.

In order to collect taxes and expand into the south, the Han Dynasty had to collect taxes from powerful people and barbarians. The powerful Han people tend to be autonomous, and their political ecology is similar to the chieftains of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. They hope to be autonomous and not pay taxes to the central government. However, when the Han Dynasty used officials and governors to rule them, it would inevitably lead to conflicts with them.

Mi Fang used interests to trap them before, but they allowed the prefect to take office for the sake of policy. But these prefects who took office were like their toys. The mountains were high and the emperor was far away. They could kill them if they wanted. The big Han had no choice but to kill them.

If they want to reduce conflicts now, the Han Dynasty should abandon Nanzhong and acquiesce in Nanzhong's autonomy. The real troublemakers are Huang Yuan and Gaoding. Of course, Huo Jun cannot allow Nanzhong's autonomy.

After a while, Zhuge Liang, Lu Xun, Xu Shu, Sun Shao and other high-ranking officials of the Han Dynasty entered the hall one after another under the guidance of their attendants.

As everyone sat down, Huo Jun told the story of the Yizhou rebellion in full, combined with his analysis.

"Huang Yuan, the prefect of Hanjia County, betrayed the emperor's kindness, raised an army to rebel, and attacked the city;... then he caused chaos in the state affairs, and instigated the rebellion of the powerful people in the south. The four counties of Wenshan, Zangdao, and Yizhou all had powerful officials and clan commanders. The rebellion has shaken Yizhou and seems to be threatening Bashu. I wonder what your advice is?"

Zhuge Liang stroked his feather fan gently and frowned and said: "Nanzhong belongs to our great Han Dynasty. In the past, when the late emperor was still alive, due to the complicated situation in Nanzhong, in order to conquer the Central Plains, he had no choice but to rule it with gentleness. Therefore, some Wei Marquis used commerce to rule Nanzhong. I'm a big man taking advantage."

"However, after Li Yan took office, he changed the old system in order to make the governors of the counties fight against the powerful. Therefore, the powerful and powerful have accumulated grudges and took advantage of the national mourning to rebel one after another. At present, there must be no injustice in the south, and it should be done sooner rather than later."

Huo Jun nodded slightly and asked: "Bo Yan is the governor of Chongqing and is very familiar with Nanzhong. What are your opinions now?"

Lu Xun raised his hands towards Huo Jun and said: "Returning to the Governor, Huang Yuan rebelled. If we can quickly march to Chengdu, it will be a danger to our army. Now we are trapped in Hanjia, and only the barbarians can be used. They will be destroyed overnight. If we send an army to attack If we can quell the rebellion and then lock down the Niu Road, then there will be no trouble in Shu."

"The powerful and powerful commander-in-chief of Nanzhong rebelled. They thought that the road in Nanzhong was rugged and it was not suitable to rush the army to quell it. Now we should send scouts south to get the layout of the situation in Nanzhong, contact Li Nazhong, and then attack the barbarians in Nanzhong. If the governor thinks it is feasible, , Xun returned to Chongqing and mobilized his troops to conquer Nanzhong. "

Huo Jun touched his moustache and said: "The late emperor said before his death that he was strict in governing Bashu. In the past, Tang Kan traveled thousands of miles to visit the capital, and then five counties in Yizhou rebelled. If we can't win over him, we will be peaceful now, but in the future Rebellion."

"Furthermore, the four counties of Nanzhong are vast, with an area of ​​thousands of miles. The barbarians live in caves, drink from streams, and attack each other. The Han people cultivate fertile fields, raise cattle and horses, and have in-laws. If Nanzhong can be pacified, we can analyze and govern it in one state. ”

"What does Zhongmiao mean?" Zhuge Liang asked.

Huo Jun pondered for a while and said: "The rebellion in the five counties of Yizhou today is just a skin disease. Bo Yan has a military strategy, which will be more than enough to quell the chaos when he returns to Shu. However, I am afraid that Cao Pi will take advantage of the national mourning to send troops to the south. At that time, When the war breaks out, Boyan can act as a resistance. To suppress the rebellion in the five counties of Yizhou, the first step is to calm down, not use force!"

With that said, Huo Jun looked at Zhuge Liang, and then fell silent.

After a long time, Huo Jun said: "As Bo Yan intended, Wang Ping and five thousand troops are sent south to conquer Han, Jia and Huang Yuan. They must behead him and spread the word to all the counties. There is a rebellion in the south, and there are not many soldiers and horses. In order to pacify it, Li Yan was ordered to blockade the Shu Road to prevent the rebels from Nanzhong from going north. "

"I will then order Li Yan to investigate the situation of the various heroes in Nanzhong in detail, and order Pan Jun to prepare food and fodder for the army. When the situation in Nanzhong is clear, I will choose a commander to go to Shu to quell the chaos."

"promise!"
