Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 862 Yizhou Shuffles the Cards
Fu Tong sent someone to inquire about the situation of Ma Zhong's march into Dangqu, but Jiang Shu arrived before he returned, but Jiang Shu had become a general of the Han Dynasty at this time.Fu Tong was not in the mood to scold Jiang Shu at all, so he could only sue Jiang Wei and let Jiang Wei make up his mind. He and Zhang Yi really couldn't figure out what Jiang Wei's plan was now.

At this time in Hanying, Zhou Xin and Sha Zan had a little disagreement.Zhou Xin liked Jiang Wei's ability to lead the army and wanted to surrender. When he discussed with Deng Ai, Deng Ai was also optimistic about Jiang Wei, but Sha Zan had many concerns.

Sha Zan believed that Jiang Wei's use of troops was unique, but his ambition was too great, his sword was too risky, and he did not use any means in order to win. All kinds of methods were tolerable for the enemy, but Jiang Wei would not spare even his own people. embarrassing task.In contrast, Sha Zan is more optimistic about Ma Zhong, thinking that Ma Zhong is calm and experienced, and is stronger than himself in many aspects.

In the end, Zhou Xin put forward two reasons to persuade Sha Zan: first, Jiang Weishan made a surprise attack and was most familiar with Hanzhong and Yinping Dao. Jiang Wei's strength was needed to send troops to Hanzhong, and Jiang Wei was from Tianshui, so it was convenient to manage Yongliang; Wei, Jiang Wei's rebellion against Wei is difficult to turn back, so he can only devote himself to Han, and he will become a good general with more beatings.

It fell to Yan Zhi and Jiang Shu to persuade Jiang Wei to surrender after entering the city.Seeing Jiang Shu, Jiang Wei's face sank like water, still relying on Yan Zhi's explanation, he just didn't say a word.Yan Zhi was at a loss for words, and asked: "Why doesn't the general say a word? Does the general want to fight to the death? Does the general want these more than ten thousand men in Shu to die here?"

Jiang Wei burst out laughing, "I've wanted to surrender to the Han for a long time, but now Mr. Zhou Xin is here in person, why don't I surrender?" After saying this, he pulled Yan Zhi and called Zhang Ni and Fu Tong to gather their troops and horses to put down their weapons and leave the city to surrender. Jiang Shu aside.

Fu Tong secretly sighed, how could Jiang Wei feel relieved that Jiang Shu and Yan Yu were supported by Jiang Wei, Yan Yu died in battle, and Jiang Shu surrendered without warning.

Zhou Xin went out to meet Jiang Wei in person, and he did not hesitate to praise Jiang Wei.Sha Zan asked Yanzhi about Huang Xi's whereabouts, and when he learned that Huang Xi had been killed by Jiang Wei, he was surprised that Jiang Wei didn't say a word about it, and ordered Sha Meng to bury Huang Xishou outside Yong'an City. Huang Chong and his son are companions.

On that day, Zhou Xin held a banquet in Yong'an to reward the three armies.Jiang Wei and Zhou Xin chatted very happily, saying that he admired Zhou Cang the most, and wished to listen to his teachings, and introduced Zhang Yi and Fu Tong, who were neither hot nor cold towards Ma Zhong and Jiang Shu.

After resting in Yong'an for a day, Su Li arrived.Zhou Xinbao's documents to the Privy Council were still on the way, and Su Li brought Zhou Cang's letter of appointment.This is the first time that Zhou Cang has used his power to issue a government order directly since he delegated power.

There are three items in the prime minister's decree: First, in view of the current situation in Yizhou and Jingzhou, follow the example of Jiangnan Road, set up Southwest Road, Zhou Xin's holiday, lead Southwest Road to appease envoys, and take charge of the military affairs of the two places. Deng Ai is Southwest Road The second is Deng Zhi's outstanding talents and he is temporarily in charge of the governor of Jingzhou; the third is the transfer of Lin Feng, the governor of Xuzhou, to Sichuan as the governor of Yizhou and Yizhou.The above-mentioned appointments still need the final approval of the court.

The three orders solved Zhou Xin's big problem, and his father could understand his son's difficulty. Thanks to Zhou Cang's being in Wancheng, he could keep abreast of Yizhou's movements and make timely arrangements.Su Li was still guarding Yong'an, and Zhou Xin led the crowd back to Chengdu, with 2 more horses and five generals than when he set out for the expedition; Deng Zhi rushed to Jingzhou to take office, and Jiang Shu went with the two.

Deng Ai was the general manager of the march, and Zhou Xin appointed Sha Zan and Jiang Wei as the left and right deputy managers. The two led an army of [-], and brought Mi Wei and Fu Tong to Wenshan County for training.At this time, if you send troops again, you don't need to go to Motianling, just go to Yinping Bridge from Yulei Pass.

The four governors of Yizhou: Governor Yong'an, Governor Jiangzhou, and Governor Jiange were all abolished.Nanzhong is a special area, including Zhuti, Yuejun, Jianning, Cangzhou, Yunnan, Yongchang, and Xinggu seven counties. Many ethnic minorities and Han people live in mixed places. According to Zhuge Liang's policy of "Fu Yiyue in the South" The governor was responsible for the important responsibility of governing Nanzhong and handling ethnic relations, and the governor's office was located in Jianning.Li Yi, the son of Li Hui, the governor of the Tuo surrendered, was the prefect of Jianning, and his nephew Li Qiu temporarily led the governor of the Tuo surrendering. Li Hui was killed after the defeat by the Wuling barbarians, not at the hands of the Han army. Therefore, Li Yi, Li Qiu also surrendered.

Zhou Xin believed that Zhuge Liang's policy could not be abandoned, and Nanzhong was bordered by Sun Quan's Nanyue, so following the example of Beiting Duhufu, he withdrew the governor and set up Nanting Duhufu to govern Nanzhong.Ma Zhong was the first Chief Protector of the Southern Court, Zhang Yi and Li Yi were Deputy Protectors in charge of military administration, Zhang Biao, son of Zhang Song, and Dong Bin, son of Dong Yun, were in charge of government affairs, Li Yi and Li Qiu were generals in charge of the army, and prefects of the seven counties Make adjustments when recruiters are in place.

I believe that it is impossible for Lin Feng to take office alone. There must be a lot of staff and officials, and there are many people from the chamber of commerce.Before Lin Feng arrived, Li Hao was still temporarily in charge of Yizhou government affairs, while Yan Zhi and Qin Mi were in charge.

Fazheng's son Fa Miao succeeded Li Hao as the commander of the army, Luo Xian as the general, and Zhang Wei as the supervisor of the army.The Yangtze River Navy is divided into two, with Jiangxia as the boundary, Xu Sheng is in charge of the middle and upper reaches, and Tai Shixiang is in charge of the middle and lower reaches.

Dongguanghan was merged into Guanghan County, Deng Liang, the son of Deng Zhi, was appointed as the prefect of Guanghan, Ma Miao succeeded Yan Zhi as the prefect of Brazil, and Ma Zhen took over as the captain of Tuntian.Zhou Xin thought that Guo Youzhi was not very capable, so he was only surveyed as the governor of one county, and Guo Youzhi was appointed as the prefect.In fact, he was not satisfied with Ma Miao, but because no one was available, Ma Miao was timid and cautious, and the rest of the former Yizhou old officials had their own appointments.

After this big reshuffle, Yizhou and Jingzhou were dismantled, and this time it took a short time to recover Yizhou. There were only two major battles in Yong'an and Jiangzhou, which did not disturb the people much. , Zhou Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief. When Lin Feng and the transferred and selected officials are in place, there is bound to be a new atmosphere in central Sichuan.

The main vanguard who advocated surrendering to the Han, Guo Youzhi was released, and Qiao Zhou was not reused, which was beyond many people's expectations. Just as everyone was still guessing how Zhou Xin would arrange Qiao Zhou, the answer soon came.

Zhou Xin announced the establishment of Yizhou College, which was organized by Zhang Yi, Qiao Zhou, and Chen Shou, which made the three leave the political arena.The expansion of the college based on the abandoned temples of Liu Bei and Liu Chan is the last contribution of the Liu family to the Shu people.

The three of them have heard the name of Dahan College for a long time, and they deeply feel that running the school will be more famous in the world, and they are planning the construction of the college with all their strength.However, Qiao Zhou and Chen Shou were amazed at why Zhou Cang was only a minister of power and did not try to be self-reliant. At the same time, they also wondered why Zhou Xin was not the son of the prince. Could it be that Zhou Cang would return to the emperor after his death?Unavoidable to find out the truth by making insinuations, Zhou Xin knew what he meant, and gave the two people the outline of governing the country for them to study, and made it a compulsory course for the college.

Zhou Xin also ordered the construction of a Taoist temple in Emei, and asked Zhang Sheng to send people to Sichuan to preach, and designated the key area of ​​preaching as Nanzhong, and allowed him to choose an additional Taoist temple in Nanzhong.

Now Yizhou is ready for everything, just wait for Zhou Xin's order to start the Northern Expedition.
