The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 19 The Ideal of Three Generations ([-])
"Oh, as my brother said, what about the general's Northern Expedition this time?"

"The general has been in battle for a long time, so there shouldn't be any serious problems, right?"

As soon as the topic shifted to Shu Han himself, the people below the lobby became more concerned.They all began to express their opinions.

"Hehehe, don't worry too much about this." Guan Yi took advantage of everyone's discussion, carefully read the mansion newspaper for a while, and then he quickly turned to a certain page: "Didn't you see this sentence? Using troops, repeatedly looking for good opportunities to defeat the enemy..."

"This, this means that there is an expert in the court who has understood all of this. Is this expert a minister?"

"It's possible that I don't know about it. By the time I set off, Shang Shuling had already fallen ill and couldn't take care of things. This expert..." Guan Yi pointed to the sky.

"Your Majesty? How is this possible?"

"Hehehe, how is it impossible? Let me tell you, you all underestimate Your Majesty. Since the founding of the first emperor, my big man has had a very stable political situation, and there have been almost no cruel incidents like Cao Wei and Dongwu that filled the court with blood. This time On the one hand, it is the Prime Minister, Jiang Da Sima, General Fei, General Jiang and others who control and discipline themselves. On the other hand, it is His Majesty's magnanimity and wisdom that are fundamental."

Originally, the topic could be stopped here.But when he was flipping through the Dibao just now, he saw a letter from the imperial court Shangshutai.This prompted him to continue talking.

"Do you think that the Sima family is willing to be this powerful minister? They keep destroying other people's three clans all day long, worrying all day long for fear of being backlashed? Do you think Sun Chen is willing to be this powerful minister? You must know that there are only two paths for a powerful minister. Either usurp the throne successfully, or the whole family dies... If there is a choice, who would be willing to be a powerful minister? It’s not that the emperors of Cao Wei and Dong Wu didn’t balance the court properly! So, this is the preciousness of our Majesty what!"

"However..." Guan Yi changed the subject: "After the three rebellions in Shouchun, the forces in the Puppet Wei that could resist the Sima family have been basically wiped out. And this Sima Zhao is already 50 years old. Then, next, we Dahan and Soochow are in danger."

"Why is this?"

Looking at the bottom, apart from Ma Guo who was thinking deeply, Zhang Zun, Zhao Yi, Sun Gang, Jian Jian, Liao Yong, even Chen Shou and Li Mi all looked blank.Guan Yi only felt deeply powerless: Although the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu have been established for a long time, the second and third generations of officials in each country are getting worse with each generation.But after all, Cao Wei has a vast territory and rich human resources.Even if it is one in a million, it can pick out good talents.And the Shu Han, a small country with few people, really couldn't find decent talents after the rich and powerful began to rot.

"Hey, everyone, this Sima Zhao has come to this point, is he willing to be executed by the whole family in the end? So it is certain that he will seek to usurp the throne."

Looking at Ma Guo below, Chen Shou and Li Mi seemed to be enlightened.Guan Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "The Sima family wants to replace the Cao family on the throne. The ready-made example is to learn from Cao Cao. First accept Jiuxi, then become a prince, then become a king, and finally force the emperor of the Cao family to abdicate."

"That's how it is. In order to receive the title of Jiuxi, duke and king, one must have military exploits, right? Prefect!"

"The change is correct. When Cao Cao pacified Liangzhou, the Hussar General (Ma Chao) first went to Hanzhong. After Cao Cao returned to Xuchang, he was named Duke Wei. In Jian'an 20 years, Cao Cao pacified Hanzhong, and Zhang Lu surrendered. Then This guy returned to Xuchang and was crowned King of Wei..."

"So, if Sima Zhao wants to claim the title of king and take the next step on the road of usurping the throne, he must attack me, the big man or Soochow?"

Speaking of which, everyone finally reacted.In fact, this is the case on the plane of history.In AD 263, just after Zhong Hui captured Hanzhong, the army was blocked by Jiang Wei in the Jiange, and Sima Zhao was named Duke of Jin.When Deng Ai won the CD, Sima Zhao was quickly promoted to King Jin.It successfully paved the way for Sima Yan's usurpation of the throne.

"Since the Gaopingling coup, the puppet Wei has not taken the initiative to attack my Han or Soochow for fifteen or six years. This is because the Sima family is consolidating their power base step by step, cutting off one by one those who are loyal to Cao Wei or disobedient. The power of the Sima family. Now, this step is about to be completed. In the next three to five years, or ten years, I, the Han or Soochow, will surely face the war of destroying the country launched by the puppet Wei! Because at that time, Sima Zhao is almost 60 years old, he can't afford to wait!"

There was an eerie silence in the lobby again.

After a while, Zhang Zun stood up and said, "So what! If this Sima Zhao doesn't come, it's fine. If he comes, let him taste the power of my little grandfather Ba Snake Spear!"

"Yes, my Zhao family swears to live and die with the big man!"

The hot-blooded young people here are expressing their opinions, while the older staff members over there are frowning deeply.

"Old Liao, you came out of the battlefield. If this fake Wei uses all his strength to attack my big man, how many soldiers and horses can he bring out?"

"Well, there are about 8 or 5 troops in the Yongliang Corps of the Puppet Wei Dynasty. They have fought with our army all year round. Their combat effectiveness is slightly weaker than that of our army's most elite mobile corps, but it is not much worse. In addition, Yong once heard General Liao As I said, the puppet Wei has about 10 people in Jingzhou, and about [-] people in Yangzhou. The troops in these two places have been fighting against the Wu army all year round, and their combat effectiveness is not bad.”

"There is also Youzhou (Jizhou) and Bingzhou (zhou) with 5 to [-] people. From time to time, they fight with the Xiongnu Xianbei. The combat effectiveness is far worse than that of the Yongliang Corps. Then there is Qing (zhou) Xu (State) [-] people, mainly field soldiers and reserve troops. Because there has been no war all year round, this is the weakest fighting force of the Puppet Wei."

"But these are not the backbone of the Puppet Wei. As Guan Taishou said just now, the Puppet Wei has implemented a strategy of strong stems and weak branches for many years. The 20 Chinese army gathered in Luoyang is the most powerful corps of the Puppet Wei. .More than 20 years ago, during the first Northern Expedition of Prime Minister Zhuge, General Zhang He of the Puppet Wei Dynasty led 5000 Chinese troops to Jieting all night long. Although your father was at a loss, the fighting power of the Chinese army of the Puppet Wei Dynasty was really strong! Xianping the North General (Wang Ping)'s [-]-strong direct army was defeated in less than an hour..."

"In this way, there are 20 elite troops in the Pseudo-Wei Dynasty, and about 35 other troops?"

"Almost, the population of the Pseudo-Wei is five to six times that of my big man. If necessary, it is not difficult to temporarily recruit another 30."

"Then how many soldiers and horses do I have?" What broke Guan Yi was that it was Mr. Jian Jian who asked this question, and Zhang Zun, Zhao Yi, Sun Gang and other young masters also looked forward to it.

Liao Yong was silent for a long time, and said four words in a muffled voice, "Less than one hundred thousand!"

"what?!"

"The Yulin of CD is about 3 to less than [-], and the Nanzhong Corps of the governor (Yan Yu) is about [-]. The Yong'an Army of the General (Zong Yu) has a full [-]. General Zhenxi (Hu Ji) The Hanzhong Corps had a full quota of [-]. After the defeat of Duangu, the mobile corps directly under the general (Jiang Wei) had only more than [-] people, less than [-]."

"Among them, the mobile corps directly under the general is the most powerful. It is slightly stronger than the Yongliang corps of the puppet Wei, and it is weaker than the Chinese army of the puppet Wei. Counting down in order, it should be the Hanzhong Corps, Yong'an Corps, etc. Corps, Nanzhong Corps, Habayashi Army."

"How come there are so few? It's less than one-fifth of the false Wei?"

"Yes, with such a small force, how can we restore the Han Dynasty and return it to the old capital?"

"It turns out that for so many years, the general has been leading less than half of the opponent's force to deal with the opponent? Then why are the ministers still critical of the general?"

"Hey~~~" Liao Yong looked at this group of young masters who didn't know anything before, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "To be honest, although General Liao has been dissatisfied with the general all these years. Come on, I am a big man. At present, no one can do better than the general...Unfortunately, the general is 55 years old this year. Liu Yin and Liu Xiuran who joined the army are also 40 years old this year. Guowei (Zhao Yi) your father He and my uncle are in their [-]s, and they are considered young in my Han army. Last year, the elder brother of the prefect joined the army, and the general was full of joy, saying that some young men from the Han finally dared to go to the battlefield, but..."

Silence, a very embarrassing silence.

After a long time, the fiery Zhang Zun said, "I'm ashamed."

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yi also said, "I'm ashamed."

Jian Jian shook his head miserably: "All these years, Shan has lingered among the flowers on the CD, never knowing that I, a big man, have reached such a dangerous situation."

Sun Gang took out the sachet from his arms and gently put it on the ground: "Tomorrow, I will start practicing martial arts. Lingxing, Guowei, you can help me."

Li Mi let out a long sigh: "These years, Mi followed the servants in the court hall and they also ridiculed the general. Really, I feel so guilty."

Chen Shou stood up and bowed in a circle: "Shou is here to thank you all on behalf of the general. If the general can hear what you said today, he will feel that what he is fighting for and protecting has something meaning."
