Soldiers come to the world

At night, at the head of Jiangling City, Liu Jing supported the battlements and watched the west silently. The curtain of the Western Expansion finally opened, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous. He was like boarding a huge warship. Following the warship, he cut through the waves.

Shuzhong, Hanzhong, and Guanzhong, once his strategy is completed, it will form a semi-encirclement state for the Central Plains, and he will take the strategic initiative against Cao Cao. He went north from Jingzhou, making Cao Jun care about one thing and lose another.

The key point is that there is Ma Chao's power. If he uses Cao Cao to eliminate this cancer in Guanlong for himself, he will need to think again.

At this time, Jiang Wan walked slowly to his side, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Is Zhou Mu worried about Sima Yi?"

"Be a little worried! After all, Bashu is full of talents, Zhuge Liang can see through our strategy, and I think there are people in Bashu who can see through."

"But what can we do if we see through it? The strength of both sides lies here. Can Liu Zhang prevent us from going west?"

Jiang Wan paused and continued: "Actually, I think internal stability is more important than the westward expansion strategy. I hope that the prefect can't patronize the outside and forget the inside."

Liu Jing looked back at him and said with a smile, "I would like to hear more about it!"

For heavyweight advisers and staff such as Jia Xu, Xu Shu, and Sima Yi, or mid-level staff such as Jiang Wan, Dong Yun, Zhou Buyi, Liu Min, and Liao Li, how to realize their ambitions and how to change their thinking To become the thought of the lord Liu Jing, this is extremely longing for each of them. [

Jiang Wan also has his own ideas, but he does not have the status of Jia Xu and Sima Yi, and he does not have the opportunity to instill Liu Jing all the time, but today, Jiang Wan unexpectedly got an opportunity.

He pondered for a moment and said: "I think the key to internal stability lies in the establishment of a power group that is not limited to regions. Now we have Jingzhou forces, and the prefects take Bashu from the west. We will meet Bashu forces. Going north to Hanzhong and Guanzhong, you will encounter Guanzhong forces. These forces have their own interests, and these interests must be related to their own regions. Therefore, to control the overall situation, there must be a power group that does not pay attention to regions. He has the world in his heart, and will advance and retreat together with Zhou Mu."

Liu Jing nodded, "I agree with your statement about local forces. In fact, I have already met them. When I moved from Jiangxia to Xiangyang, I encountered great resistance, so how to balance these forces will take a lot of time. Think about it."

Jiang Wan laughed and said, "Actually, as long as you grasp the principles, there will be a solution."

"What principle?" Liu Jing asked with great interest.

"Can I ask Zhou Mu to listen to me tell a story."

Liu Jing laughed and said, "Gong Yan, please tell me, I will listen with all my ears."

Jiang Wan pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a law in the State of Lu: If a Lu State person sees his compatriots being sold as slaves in a foreign country, as long as they are willing to pay to redeem him, he will return to you." After the state of Lu, the state will give them compensation and rewards. This law has been enforced for many years, and many Lu people who were exiled in other places were saved and returned to their homeland.

Zigong’s family is rich and rich. Once, when he went abroad to do business, he redeemed many people from the state of Lu, but he refused the compensation from the state of Lu. financial burden.

When Confucius knew about it, he not only did not appreciate Zigong, but also criticized Zigong negatively. Confucius said: Everything in the world is nothing more than the word "righteousness" and "benefit". As long as everyone can feel compassion when seeing compatriots in distress, as long as he is willing to redeem compatriots and bring them back to the country, then he will complete a good deed.

Afterwards, the state will give him compensation and rewards, so that the person who does good deeds will not suffer losses, and will be appreciated by everyone. If things go on like this, more and more people will be willing to do good deeds, so this law is a good law.

And what you Zigong did seems to be a noble character, but it has raised everyone's requirements for 'righteousness'.In the future, those who go to the country to ask for money after redeeming people, not only may not be praised by everyone, but may even be accused by the people of the country, asking them why they can’t share the country’s worries like Zi Gong, and these people will give up the redemption. Lu people.

The later facts were indeed as Confucius expected, and many Lu people who were in trouble could never return to their homeland.

From this story, we can see the wisdom and understanding of Confucius. He was able to understand the common sense and common feelings of people. "

Liu Jing nodded, "This story is very good, but what does it have to do with solving the demands of local forces?" [

"It has a lot to do with the importance of common sense, common sense, and common sense. People have a heart of compassion. This is common sense. He will sympathize with his compatriots. If he does good deeds, the country should reward and compensate them. This is common sense, and we should not blindly demand them. Pursue lofty morality, similarly, those who do good deeds will accept compensation with peace of mind, this is normal, as long as the state pastor remembers this principle, the demands of various local forces can be reasonably and appropriately resolved.”

"But how to grasp this speed?" Liu Jing asked again with a smile.

Jiang Wan thought for a while and said, "The so-called degree is actually 'neither high' nor 'low'. For example, it is not advisable to pursue morality too high like Zigong, and it is also not good to put morality too low. , if the Lu State rewarded people too much for saving people, some money-grubbing businessmen would find it profitable to deliberately sell people to neighboring countries in order to get a big reward. , neither to the left nor to the right, good at compromise, this is the correct way to govern the country."

Jiang Wan's reasoning made Liu Jing very much agree. In the position of state shepherd, Liu Jing has a deep understanding of this balance of interests. The conflict of interests between civil servants, the conflict of interests between the local factions such as Wenpin and Huang Zhong and the foreign factions such as Wei Yan and Gan Ning, and the conflict of interests between Jingzhou and Bashu in the future, etc.

Jiang Wan's suggestion is undoubtedly a kind of thinking, 'neither high' nor 'low', as long as he grasps this principle of the mean, he can handle the interests of various factions well. Thinking of this, Liu Jing bowed his hands to Jiang Wan, He said sincerely: "Gong Yan's suggestion, Liu Jing will keep it in his heart!"

Sima Yi arrived in Chengdu just as Jingzhou was marching into Shangyong County. This was his third visit to Chengdu. He was ordered by Liu Jing to negotiate with Liu Zhang and clearly asked Liu Zhang to send troops to Hanzhong.

In the inner hall of the State Shepherd's Mansion, Liu Zhang's expression was a little unnatural. Sima Yi's request came so suddenly that he was unprepared for a while. Of course, we will keep our word, but our agreement clearly states that we should attack Hanzhong next spring, why is it a year earlier?"

The new Yizhou Biejia Huang Quan, who accompanied the audience, also said: "It was agreed that the two prefectures and herdsmen would meet first in spring, and Jingzhou would attack Jingnan in the second half of the year, but Jingzhou launched a battle against Jingnan at the beginning of the new year. What is the plan for the meeting between the two state pastors?"

Sima Yi said solemnly: "The reason why we decided to attack Liu Bei on the second day of the first lunar month is because we got the news of the death of son Liu Qi. Master Qi is the eldest son of Qianzhou Mu and the master of Jingnan. He died strangely. We need to give Jingzhou soldiers and people a Explain, at the same time, we don't allow Liu Bei to take the opportunity to steal Jingnan, so my lord made a decisive decision and launched a military attack, as for Hanzhong"

Speaking of this, Sima Yi's tone became indifferent, "About Hanzhong, the news we got is that Zhang Lu knew about the Jingzhou Army's plan and preemptively attacked the strategic town of Shangyong. My lord hopes that Zhou Mu can give an explanation. Who leaked the Jingzhou army's northward plan to Zhang Lu? You promised me at the beginning that you would never reveal the secret, so what do you say now?"

Sima Yi's stern tone made Liu Zhang a little embarrassed. In fact, he knew in his heart that Wu Yi, Zhang Ren and others must have secretly leaked the secret to Zhang Lu, which caused Zhang Lu to strike first, but how could he explain it?

Liu Zhang pretended to be surprised and asked Huang Quan, "Is there such a thing? Huang Shijun, who did this?"

Huang Quan immediately got up and said: "I don't know, there were many people, ministers, and many guards present, I need time to check!"

Liu Zhang immediately understood Huang Quan's meaning. If it really doesn't work, he can find a guard to take the blame. This is a way, but his attitude still needs to be shown. Those who leak the secret must be severely punished."

Liu Zhang smiled at Sima Yi again: "Mr. Sima, please calm down. We will investigate this matter thoroughly and give Jingzhou an explanation."

Sima Yi calmed down a little, and said again: "As for the meeting between the two state shepherds, we can put it in the second half of the year. After our two families defeat Zhang Lu, we will celebrate the brotherhood. In addition, my lord also promised that as long as Yizhou Send troops, then according to the agreement between the two parties, we will immediately return Jianping County to Yizhou, and when Hanzhong is defeated, we will return Yidu County, and we will never breach the contract."

Liu Zhang nodded with a smile, "There is no problem at all, but I need to discuss the details with the minister. Please have a good rest for two days, and I will reply soon."

After sending Sima Yi away, Liu Zhang asked Huang Quan, "Do you think someone really leaked the secret to us?"

Huang Quan nodded, "Zhang Ren has an old relationship with Zhang Lu, I think he is the most likely."

Liu Zhang snorted coldly. At this time, the eldest son Liu Xun said cautiously: "Father, my son feels that this seems to be an opportunity for us to seize Hanzhong. We can give Weixing County to Liu Jing and let him go north to Guanzhong from there." , we occupy Hanzhong and Wudu."

"Dream! Will Liu Jing give us Hanzhong?"

Angrily scolded his son for his absurd idea, Liu Zhang asked Huang Quan again, "What do you mean by don't drive?"

Huang Quan said with a sinister smile, "Actually, Weichen has the same idea as Mr. Xun. We can use this opportunity to capture Hanzhong, and at the same time bring back Jianping County and Yidu County, so that Liu Jing will be defeated."

"But in this case, we were careless, and we will be caught by Liu Jing!" Liu Zhang said anxiously,

Huang Quan shook his head, "Dayi is actually not important. The two countries are fighting, and the interests come first!"

"Father, Huang Biejia is right. We can't trust Liu Jing's promise. We have to rely on ourselves to strive for the best interests of Bashu."

Liu Zhang was also really tempted. Seizing Hanzhong, recovering Jianping and Yidu is such a great benefit. It is indeed an excellent opportunity. He thought for a long time and waved to the two of them, "You all go down, let me alone People, think again!"
