Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 738 Yizhou Crisis
Liao Li, captain of Changshui, was originally a famous person in Wuling. He thought that his talent and fame should be second to Zhuge Liang, but he wandered under the rank of Li Yan and others, and was often unhappy.When talking with Jiang Wan and Li Shao, it is inevitable to point out Jiangshan. First, he said that Liu Bei made several mistakes in his decision-making and should not have kept Guan Yu in Jingzhou. , and then lost Shangyong's land in vain; after that, the eastward expedition to Jingzhou was even more misguided.Now Chaozhong Xianglang, Wen Gong and others are all mediocre people. They either have no rules or muddle in their work, and they just blindly follow others around, and so on.

Jiang Wan and Li Shao heard it, and reported to Zhuge Liang when they turned around.Zhuge Liang wrote a memorial to the impeachment of Liao Li: Liao Li, the captain of Changshui, sits in a well and is arrogant. Chaos group, let alone Liao Liguan who holds a high position, who can tell his authenticity?
Liu Chan immediately issued an edict to abolish Liao Li as a commoner and exile him to Wenshan County.From then on, Liao Li made a living by farming, and he cried bitterly every time he wanted to reform his mistakes, but he was not used until his death.

Less than a month after Liu Bei's death, Hussar General Ma Chao died suddenly at the age of 47.Zhuge Liang went to the table, his son Ma inherited the title, his daughter married Liu Li, the king of Anping, and his younger brother Ma Dai was appointed as the general of Pingbei to take over his military affairs; he also recommended Liu Yan as the township lord, second only to Li Yan in official rank, and concurrently served as Weiwei Zhao Yun is the Marquis of Yongchang Ting and the General of Zhendong; Xiang Lang from Jingzhou is the captain of the infantry, and Wang Lian is the captain of the Tunqi.Wang Lian recommended Du Qi, Lu Yi, and Liu Gan from his hometown to be selected as Diancao Duwei to manage salt and iron.

After the death of Huo Jun, the gatekeeper of Jiameng, Wei Yan and the prefect of Zitong have always been Wei Yan, and Zhuge Liang transferred Zhang Yi to be the prefect of Zitong; with Mianzhu as the gate of Chengdu, he appointed Ma Su as the order of Mianzhu; Fei Shi, who had dissuaded Liu Bei from becoming emperor and was demoted, was reinstated , was appointed Yongchang prefect, however, Fei Shi has not yet taken up his post, and a sudden change occurred in southern Sichuan in October!

The handsome Yong Kai was arrogant and domineering in Jianning, and reluctantly surrendered to Liu Bei.Lured by Cao Pi, he has been waiting for an opportunity. When he heard that Liu Bei had died of illness, Yong Kai killed the prefect Zhengang and launched a rebellion in Nanzhong. Resisting Yong Kai, Yong Kai was unable to advance, so Meng Huo, a barbarian, incited the barbarians to rebel. Gao Ding, the Yi king of Yue Yi, killed the guard Jiao Huang and occupied Yue Yi County and became king.

Yongkai, after Yongchi, the Marquis of Shifang in the Han Dynasty.Yongchi, an aristocratic family in Peixian County, followed Liu Bang to fight against Qin, but he always disliked Liu Bang and left Liu Bang several times. Later, Liu Bang followed Zhang Liang's advice and granted Yongchi the Marquis of Shifang, more than a hundred miles south of Chengdu.During the time of Emperor Wu, his grandson Yonghuan was dismissed from his rank, but the Yong family had been operating in Shifang for 89 years at this time. Therefore, Liu Zhang and Liu Bei both adopted and appeased him.

Except for Yongchang in the four counties in southern Sichuan, the three counties of Jianning, Zangcang, and Yuexi all turned against each other, and Yongchang relied on Lu Kai and Wang's couple for their hard support and was in danger.There were a lot of discussions among the Chinese and military in the DPRK, and quite a few believed that the Yongkai rebellion was nothing more than a scabies disease, and it was enough to send a general to discuss it; Respond; there are still some people who are worried that Yong Kai's rebellion is not that simple, it may be related to Cao Pi and Sun Quan, and Cao Pi needs to take the opportunity to send troops.Everyone turned their attention to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see how Zhuge Liang would respond.

In the [-]th year of the Han Dynasty, the [-]th day of the first month of the second year of Shu Jianxing, the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang made a proposal to go south in person.Liu Chan was surprised and said: "The state affairs have been settled at the beginning, why did the prime minister go lightly?"

Zhuge Liang bowed and said: "Yong Kai's rebellion must have foreign aid. I expect that Cao Jun will invade Hanzhong soon. The south will not be peaceful, and Yizhou will not be safe. Only by cutting off the troubles will we be able to defend the foreign land. Nanzhong is full of tyrants and barbarians. It is not the minister himself. It's hard to take it back."

Tunqi School Captain Wang Lian persuaded: "Nanzhong has been a barren land since ancient times, and the plague is prevalent. The prime minister is someone who the whole country counts on and relies on. It is not suitable for the whole country to take risks and conquer."

Zhuge Liang thought that all the generals were inferior to himself, so he insisted on going there in person.Wang Lian remonstrated again and again, with sincere words, Zhuge Liang thought over and over again, and felt that what Wang Lian said was indeed reasonable. First, Liu Bei had a new funeral and the state affairs were still undecided, so it should be stable for another year or a half; Food and grass needed to be transported, especially the lack of medicines for heatstroke prevention, plague prevention, and insect repellent, so it was not good for the army to go out rashly.

"Prime Minister, you are only worried about Cao Pi, aren't you afraid that Sun Quan will take the opportunity to enter Sichuan?" Seeing that Zhuge Liang was moved, Shangshu Deng Zhi said.

Deng Zhi, courtesy name Bo Miao, was the successor of Deng Yu, a famous general under Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.Although the same surname is Deng, they are both from Xinye, but Deng Zhi and Deng Ai are at odds with each other. When Liu Bei was in Xinye, Deng Zhi had already settled in central Sichuan and attached herself to Pang Xi, the prefect of Brazil, and was highly regarded.

Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "Since Sun Quan voted for Zhoucang, and he was willing to abandon the land in the south of the Yangtze River as a feudal clan, how could he be willing to go to Bashu again? Wouldn't that mean he made a wedding dress for Zhoucang again? Even so, I think we should make friends with him. It's not an enemy, but there has been no envoy, does Bo Miao have this intention?"

One more friend is better than one more enemy. Zhuge Liang still doesn't fully understand Sun Quan's thoughts, but he knows that forming an alliance with Sun Quan is a wise move, and he also believes that the current Sun Quan has no reason to refuse.

"Right on my mind."

Liu Chan was overjoyed, and immediately took Deng Zhi as his envoy to Changsha to meet the Nanyue king Sun Quan to seek an alliance.Liu Chan issued another edict that Zhuge Liang, the prime minister, should also be the shepherd of Yizhou.

Zhuge Liang used Qin Mi from Mianzhu, who was from Mianzhu to dissuade Liu Bei from conquering the east, as Yizhou, and Qiaozhou from Brazil to encourage learning.In order to strengthen defense, Zhuge Liang set up four garrison governors in the local area: Li Hui, the governor of Yijiang, who Fu Yiyue in the south; Li Yan, the governor of Jiangzhou, who defended Chengdu; .Among the four governors, except for Wei Yan, the other three were generals from Yizhou. The difference is that Li Hui was from Jianning, Yizhou, Huang Quan was from Brazil, and Li Yan was from Nanyang, Jingzhou.

After some integration, the restless elements were expelled and dismissed, and three factions emerged in the Shu Han political arena: the first is the Jingzhou faction, which is dominated by the people brought by Liu Bei, with representatives Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, Dong Yun, Wei Yan, etc.; The Dongzhou faction brought by Yan Liuzhang and his son into Sichuan, such as Xu Jing, Li Yan, Deng Zhi, Fei Yi, etc.; the third is the Yizhou local faction, such as Li Hui, Huang Quan, Qin Mi, Wu Yi and so on.

Although there were three factions, Zhuge Liang set an example everywhere and was diligent in government affairs, and the political situation in Yizhou gradually stabilized.
