The last three kingdoms

Chapter 251

A smile appeared on Liu Chan's face. Huo Yi brought troops to King Qin. This was probably the best news Liu Chan had heard in so many days. The less guards there are, the more flustered Liu Chan will feel. Only when a large number of troops protect the surroundings of the palace and capital can Liu Chan sleep soundly.

More and more cities were lost in the Kingdom of Shu, and fewer and fewer troops were fighting in the Kingdom of Shu, all of which made Liu Chan frightened. Huo Yi led troops to serve the king, no matter how many people he brought, at least it could increase Liu Chan's protection and let him Be at ease.

To be honest, Liu Chan didn't want to surrender either. Although he wasn't very good as an emperor, he was still an emperor. After the surrender, everything will be gone. After being the emperor for decades, if he is really laid off, Liu Chan will really feel a little bit sad.

But when he thinks of the extreme poverty in Nanzhong, Liu Chan can't help feeling cold all over his body. He enjoys all the glory and wealth in Chengdu. When he goes to a remote place like Nanzhong, he must suffer. Liu Chan is afraid of death and suffering. Mo Zhan is in a dilemma.

Huo Yi's arrival at least brought Liu Chan a glimmer of hope, so his mood suddenly improved a lot.Huo Yi is the son of Huo Jun, the prefect of Zitong. Huo Jun made great contributions to guarding Xiayin. After his death, Liu Bei felt very sorry and raised the young Huo Yi in the mansion.After Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, he made Liu Chan the crown prince and Huo Yi the crown prince.

Huo Yi was like Liu Chan's playmate when he was young. After Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, Huo Yi was granted the honor of visiting, and accompanied Liu Chan in charge of communication and other matters.Later, he was transferred to Xiangfu Jishi, Huangmen Shilang, and the prince's concubine.It can be said that Huo Yi is Liu Chan's most confidant servant, and his relationship with Liu Chan is also extraordinary.

During the Yanxi period, Huo Yi served as the deputy governor of Yan Yu, joined the army, was transferred to the army guard, and later moved to Yongchang prefect.During his tenure, he quelled the chaos of the barbarians. Due to his tiredness, he moved to General Yijun and General Annan, and later became the prefect of Jianning, commanding the seven counties of Nanzhong.

"Xuan." Liu Chan ordered.

The eunuch next to him shouted loudly: "General Xuan Annan Jianning Taining Huo Yi sees you."

"Xuan Annan General Jianning Prefect Huo Yijin sees—"

Not long after, a general in military uniform hurried up to the hall. Although he was over half a century old and had gray beard and hair, he still walked vigorously and was full of energy. However, he saw that he was full of dust and dust, and he could not change his uniform in the future, so he went straight to the front of the hall. , fell down and bowed, his eyes filled with joy. "Chen Huo Yi kowtowed to His Majesty, King Chen Qin came late, and begged His Majesty to forgive his sin."

"Shaoxian is back, good, good, good!" Liu Chan said three good words in succession, with a look of approval in his eyes.

Liu Yin said from the side: "General Huo came just in time, just as the courtiers discussed, Nanzhong is an extremely barren land, plagued by miasma, mosquitoes and insects, the land is barren, and it is difficult for people to survive. General Huo returned from Nanzhong. The right to speak, I would also like to ask General Huo to explain the local conditions and customs of Nanzhong in detail for His Majesty and the ministers, so as to solve everyone's doubts."

"Your Excellency?" Huo Yiyuan has been in Nanzhong for more than ten years. Although most of the courtiers are familiar faces, the person in front of him is extremely strange, so he can't help asking.

Zhang Shao introduced from the side: "This is Ba Linghou, Zhi Jinwu, and Anxi General Liu Yin."

Huo Yi was startled, it wasn't that Liu Yin's Anxi General had a higher rank than him, but Liu Yin's impressive achievements, Yin Ping defeated Deng Ai, Qi County fought against Lu Kang, and became famous, Huo Yi had heard about it a long time ago. When I saw him today, I was surprised that Liu Yin was so young. "It turned out to be General Liu, who had admired his great name for a long time and disrespected him. General Yin Ping defeated Deng Ai, which is a marvelous feat. It is really a blessing for the Han Dynasty to have such a good general."

Liu Yin said humbly: "Under the great reputation, it is actually hard to live up to it. General Huo is too ridiculous."

Huo Yi couldn't help nodding his head secretly, saying: "General Cai said just now, who called Nanzhong a barren land?"

Liu Yin glanced at Qiao Zhou and the others, and said, "All the ministers in the court have something to discuss."

Huo Yi chuckled and said, "It's really stupid. If Nanzhong is so unbearable, Huo has already become a pile of bones. How can he still stand here and talk to you?"

Huo Yi is also a very smart person, Zhang Shao sent someone to Wuyang to explain the situation briefly, as for the specific situation in the court, Zhang Shao was not clear, so naturally he couldn't inform Huo Yi.However, Huo Yi figured it out a little bit in the hall, and it became very clear that he was originally from the Jingxiang faction, and he had a good relationship with Zhang Shao from the Yuan Cong faction, so he was naturally opposed to the Yizhou native faction headed by Qiao Zhou. Liu Yin just asked a simple question. He already understood the current situation in the court. It must be Qiao Zhou and others who tried their best to prevent the southward migration.

Huo Yi faced Liu Chan and said: "Your Majesty, when Prime Minister Zhuge conquered the South, Nanzhong was indeed a barren and barren place. However, in the past 40 years, Nanzhong has already changed its old appearance and changed its appearance, and now it has moved to Nanzhong. There are already 30 to [-] people in the Han Dynasty, reclaiming wasteland and farming, living and working in peace and contentment, and the people are rich and prosperous. Only the granary in Ning County was built, and tens of thousands of rice were accumulated. Although the land in Nanzhong is called lofty mountains, it is in the middle of rivers, valleys and lakes. There are also quite a few plains in the area, which the locals call Bazi. The terrain is flat and the land is fertile, which can be reclaimed as good fields. There is no shortage of land in Nanzhong, but there is a shortage of people. If Your Majesty moves the capital to Nanzhong, the people in Central Shu will rush to join them. Why can't you live in peace?"

Liu Chan still trusts his young boy quite a bit. He sent Huo Yi to Nanzhong to control the overall situation of Nanzhong. The stability of Nanzhong is of great significance to the Shu Han. Now it seems that Liu Chan sent Huo Yi to Nanzhong , but also has a far-sighted side, which is tantamount to asking Huo Yi to go to Nanzhong to explore the way and make preparations for moving the capital to Nanzhong.

Seeing Liu Chan's wavering expression, Qiao Zhou became a little anxious. He had already taken the initiative and persuaded Liu Chan to surrender. He didn't expect that Liu Yin would come out halfway and fight against each other. Now Huo Yi, who has a close relationship with Liu Chan, also After running back from Nanzhong, Qiao Zhou was very unwilling to see that the situation was about to be reversed. He protested again: "Your Majesty, although it is possible to move the capital to Nanzhong, we have already prepared for it, but now the enemy is approaching, and the disaster is coming." Defeat is imminent, and there is nothing to protect the heart of a small group. Chengdu is two thousand miles away from Nanzhong, and the road is long and dangerous. The army is scattered, hungry and cold, and the crisis is unpredictable, I hope your Majesty will be careful."

Liu Yin immediately said: "Your Majesty, you should do extraordinary things at an extraordinary time. Naturally, you will have to pay some price to move the capital thousands of miles away, but it is better than subjugating the country. The army and civilians in Shu County have a total of 60 million people, and they travel [-] to [-] miles a day. It took only two months to move to Nanzhong, and His Majesty can use the food stored in the treasury to help the people, and he will surely overcome this difficulty."

Qiao Zhou sneered and said: "Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians travel twenty or thirty miles a day, and Wei soldiers have strong horses, and they can catch up in a few days. How did Liu Anxi resist the enemy's pursuit? Don't you forget that the late emperor was Defeat of Yang!"
