The last three kingdoms

Chapter 250
Everyone regards it as Liu Chen, the king of the Northland.Liu Chen glared at Qiao Zhou, knelt down at the bottom of the steps, and sobbed and said: "Your Majesty, the Jiangshan Sheji of Jihan was created by the late emperor half his life. If the late emperor had a soul in the sky, he would not be filled with grief and indignation. Your Majesty, this strategy of surrender is absolutely unacceptable!"

Liu Chan's face darkened, and he said: "All the ministers agree that you should surrender, but you are the only one who refuses to surrender. Do you want to make the city full of blood and burn all jade and stone?"

Liu Chen wept and said: "There are still tens of thousands of soldiers in Chengdu, and Jiang Wei's entire army is still in Langzhong. Their situation is not irreversible. The sons and ministers are not talented. They are willing to go out of the city to fight in order to drive back the soldiers of Wei and Wu. The foundation of the late emperor must not be abandoned lightly. "

Liu Chan sighed: "The destiny is like this, but what is it, even if you go out of the city to fight, what chance do you have of winning? That's all, you go back, I have my own calculations."

When Liu Chen heard this, he kowtowed anxiously and said, "Father, if you are absolutely unable to surrender, even if you are extremely weak and disaster is imminent, my father and son will fight against the city and die together. Yan went to see the late emperor."

Liu Chan's face darkened when he heard the words. Liu Chan was not afraid of anything else but death. He didn't have the courage of Liu Zhan to see death as home. When he heard that Liu Chen planned to die with him in Chengdu, Liu Chan was completely unwilling and reprimanded: "You What great things can you achieve if you don't know the time and only show off your bravery! Come on, come and blow me down!"

The golden melon warrior immediately went forward to bombard Liu Chen, Liu Yin refused to leave, and shouted loudly: "Father, the late emperor's foundation must not be abandoned lightly! You can't surrender even if you die!"

Among the several sons, Liu Chan's favorite is the sixth son, Liu Xun, and the fifth son, Liu Chen, is the least favorite.

"Procrastinate on, without Lian's order, he is not allowed to go to the Golden Palace again!" Liu Chan said angrily.

Golden Melon Warrior was ordered to grab Liu Chen and was about to forcefully drag him out of the hall. At this moment, Liu Yin took a step forward and shouted in a deep voice, "Wait a minute!"

Although it is said that only the Son of Heaven can order the Golden Melon Warriors above the Golden Palace, but at this time Liu Yin walked out, his voice was low, but it revealed an irresistible majesty, which made the two Golden Melon Warriors startled and subconsciously stopped. action on.

Liu Yin glanced at Liu Zhan, nodded slightly at him, then turned to Liu Chan, held the wat and bowed, "My minister Liu Yin has a book to play."

Liu Chan's expression softened a little. Liu Chan's attitude towards Liu Yin was even better than that of his own son. Firstly, Liu Yin was his younger brother's legitimate son, and secondly, Liu Yin had made several military exploits before. "If you have something to do with literature and propaganda, just play it."

Liu Yin glanced at Qiao Zhou, and said to Liu Chan: "Since Gaozu proclaimed himself emperor, Han worship has lasted for more than [-] years. How can he exterminate himself? Rebelling against Wei and usurping the establishment, people and gods are all angry, punishing thieves and rebels, and getting rid of treacherous criminals. The wish of the first emperor, the ambition of the Marquis of Wu, the loyal and upright men of the Ji and Han Dynasties have succeeded one after another, just to revive the Han Dynasty. How can those who want to surrender the bandits today comfort the heroic souls of the sages? I think that Yizhou still has half of the land in its hands, even if the situation is maintained. It is difficult, but it is far from the point of surrendering. Just now Zhang Shangshu said that the ministers also agreed very much. The land in Nanzhong is steep and can completely defend itself. Wei and Wu are in the same bed in Shu, and they will attack each other soon. , Both sides will suffer, His Majesty only needs to endure in Nanzhong for a few years, and he will surely return to the old capital."

Qiao Zhou snorted coldly, and said: "Liu Anxi is boastful, but he doesn't know that Nanzhong is plagued by miasma, mosquitoes, dangerous roads, poor mountains and bad waters, such a barren and poor place, how can His Majesty's golden body be preserved? Move the capital to Nanzhong, How can hundreds of thousands of military and civilian officials feed and return to the old capital within a few years, Liu Anxi's thinking is too good, right?"

Liu Yin smiled slightly and said, "Doctor Qiao has ever been to Nanzhong?"

Qiao Zhou's eyes showed contempt, and he said coldly, "It's never been so barren and barren, and only those barbarians can survive."

"Then how did doctor Qiao know that Nanzhong is poor and plagued by evil waters?" Liu Yin asked.

Qiao Zhou was slightly taken aback, and said: "Although the old man has not come in person, the geography of Nanzhong has long been drawn and described in detail, and the predecessors have prepared it. Could it be that Liu Anxi thinks that Nanzhong is a paradise?"

Liu Yin said indifferently: "Although the happy land can't be called, this Nanzhong is by no means a barren and barren land. It has been nearly 40 years since Marquis Wu conquered the South. How many officials have been sent by the imperial court to Nanzhong? The army, how many people have been relocated, can’t Dr. Qiao say that he has no idea? If it is said that before Wuhou conquered the South, Nanzhong was indeed a land of barbarians, but it is true, but in the past 40 years, several governors who have surrendered have neglected their duties. Is it negligent? The five counties of Nanzhong expanded into the seven counties of Nanzhong. Are these seven county guards eating dry food? For 40 years, there are at least two or three generations. The original immigrants should have sons and grandchildren, right? , under the hard work of these immigrants, can Nanzhong really be called a barren land? The so-called plague is rampant, which is even more nonsense. How many people died from the plague and miasma, the land was reclaimed, and the population gathered in large numbers, so the miasma would no longer exist. The climate in Nanzhong is warm, the land is fertile, and the products are rich. There is no need to worry about food and clothing."

After Zhuge Liang conquered the South that year, Shi Zai implemented the "Three No's Policy": no officials, no soldiers, no food, and the barbarians ruled the barbarians.But later facts proved that what Zhuge Liang said was nothing more than diplomatic rhetoric, and the Shu Han court quickly restored the establishment of the governor of Nanzhong, with Li Huilai as the post.The meaning of "Yu Jiang" is to attract and subdue, which is obviously different from the names of the Dudu's mansions in places such as Hanzhong and Yong'an.During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were five counties in Nanzhong. After Zhuge Liang conquered the south, they were increased to seven counties, and many counties were added. The establishment of more counties means the increase of officials and the increase of the army.The Shu Han court still attached great importance to the stability of South China. If there is no stability on the southern line, how can we talk about the Northern Expedition?
It is true that there were rebellions among the barbarians in South China, and they happened from time to time, but with the efforts of Ma Zhong and several governors, these rebellions were quickly extinguished, and they did not form a large scale. The situation in China is stable, the government is well-organized and the people are harmonious, and the economy has also developed greatly.

"So, Liu Anxi has been to Nanzhong?" Qiao Zhou asked back.

"Never." Liu Yin said frankly.

Qiao Zhou smiled and said, "Then Liu Anxi's words are just speculation, how can he convince the public?"

Liu Yin calmly said: "That's right, what you and I are talking about about Nanzhong here is indeed some imagination, it seems that the real people from Nanzhong should come out and explain it in detail." Liu Yin glanced at Zhang Shao, and the latter nodded slightly to indicate, Liu Yin Yin Xin understood, holding the wat and playing to Liu Chan: "Your Majesty, Jianning Taishou Huo Yi led the soldiers to the capital, and he is waiting outside the hall at this moment. Please let your Majesty announce him into the hall. You can ask for details about Nanzhong."
