The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 78

In May 260 AD, Cao Mao, the fourth emperor of Cao Wei, "raised an army" (the team said that the army was really too reluctant) to attack Sima Zhao, the general of Cao Wei, but was defeated and killed.

Although because Cao Wei usurped the Han Dynasty, the scholars of this era did not pay much attention to the concept of monarchs and ministers.But after all, this is the king's crusade against his courtiers, and the courtiers killed the king.So for a while, the Sima family was very passive in public opinion.

Therefore, Sima Zhao had to sacrifice Cheng Ji's head and the lives of Cheng Ji's three clans: Jia Chong is such a good dog, he is really reluctant to kill him.Besides, Jia Chong is a scholar-bureaucrat, that is a real "person".Cheng Ji was born as a commoner, but it's just the mud on his trousers from the soles of his shoes...

Now that the big killer such as the "Three Yi Clans" has been activated again, it is impossible to exterminate one of the three tribes.Soon, Shangshu Wang Jing was accused of alienating the monarch and his ministers, and wiped out the three clans.Correspondingly, Wang Ye and Wang Chen were promoted and made a fortune.After the matter gradually subsided, Sima Zhao promoted Jia Chong's Tinghou to the rank of Township Marquis again-there is no other way to turn black and white in the world.

But in any case, this time the Sima family suffered a big loss: because Cheng Ji was captured by the barbarians, the private soldiers of the Sima family were alienated from the Sima family.Because of Cao Mao's death, the Sima family's intention to become a duke was delayed for a long time.In the next few years, the Sima family will try their best to appease the dissatisfaction of Cao Wei and other aristocratic families, sell enough national interests to satisfy the greed of the aristocratic families, and use more generous salaries to restore the morale of the soldiers at the bottom...

With the death of Cao Mao, Shu Han and Soochow got a good respite.

But well...

"Your Majesty, the regicide incident occurred in the puppet Wei Dynasty, and the government and the public were shaken. This is a rare opportunity. I, a big man, should take this opportunity to use the power of the country to make another Northern Expedition!"

At the Great Court Meeting in June of the third year of Jingyao, Jiang Wei jumped out and demanded another Northern Expedition as soon as the meeting started.As soon as this remark came out, everyone from the emperor to the ministers to the eunuchs in the palace frowned.

"General, our army returned without success the year before last, and it's been less than two years since we returned to court last time, so why can't we take a break?"

The first person to speak was Shang Shuling Fan Jian.The current leader of the Jingzhou faction does not object to the Northern Expedition in his heart, but he still cannot bear such a high frequency of the Northern Expedition.

"Shang Shuling, don't come again when you can't miss this opportunity!"

"Enough! Jiang Boyue! Do you know that once your mobile corps is dispatched, the monthly food consumption is calculated in one hundred thousand shi. After the battle, the soldiers' salaries and pensions are calculated in tens of millions. The year before last you Once you send troops, the national treasury will be empty for a year! This year, there is finally a surplus, if you send troops again, the national treasury will be empty again!"

"Siyuan, how is this possible? Let's not talk about the past few years, just say that in the past three years, my big man's income has skyrocketed a lot!"

"Indeed, it has increased a lot. But this newly added part will be spent quickly. Do you know that since the 16th year of Yanxi, you have sent troops every year, and the imperial court's finances have been extremely tight. Not only did you die in battle Soldiers' pensions cannot be paid in full at one time, and even Dujiangyan has not been overhauled for five years! It is rare that you did not send troops last year, so the imperial court had the money to pay out all the pensions of the soldiers who died in the Duangu Battle. In addition, [-] civilians were used to rebuild The Dujiangyan has been overhauled and dredged... not only Dujiangyan, but all the weirs and embankments in the basin must be dredged and repaired. Otherwise, the grain fields will be reduced and the people will not be able to eat enough. How will you supply your Northern Expedition!?"

"This……"

In fact, neither Jiang Wei nor Zhuge Zhan said a word: Your Majesty, the court’s income has increased a lot recently, but you have taken most of it to build palaces and choose concubines.

"Okay, okay. Zhuge Pushe, the general is your superior, how can you speak to the general in such a tone. Well, the general, I mean, the Northern Expedition will continue. But the false Wei Gang died the emperor , my great Han launched the Northern Expedition. This does not meet the standard of righteous warfare. What's more, the emperor of the puppet Wei was murdered by powerful ministers. What I said is the truth, in recent years, the country has repeatedly conquered, and the people are suffering. Therefore, what I mean is to take a break for two years."

As soon as Liu Chan said these words, Qiao Zhou's tears were about to come out - after so many years, His Majesty the Emperor finally no longer insisted on the Northern Expedition to reflect the legitimacy of this regime: "Your Majesty loves the people and is a blessing to the great man. The ministers agree."

"I'll wait for the second."

There is no doubt that with the death of Chen Yu, the power of the entire Shu Han court has shifted.The anti-war faction and the deferred Northern Expedition faction have become the mainstream of the court.Jiang Wei was already alone in the court of the Shu Han Dynasty.

But none of this has anything to do with Guan Yi.

Fuling County, Fairy Mountain, Fuxing School.

With a "squeak", the door of a student dormitory was gently pushed open.Guan Yi held a candlestick and walked in gently.

He quietly came to a student's bed, sat down, and blew out the candles.Then Guan Yi began to gently massage the student's very stiff legs.

Since the relocation of the Fuxing School to this place, Guan Yi has also been here permanently.Li Mi, Sun Gang and others were responsible for the county affairs and the production of the Fuxing Society.For more than a year, he rarely went down the mountain, except for major events such as the annual meeting of the Fuxing Society.

And every night he entered the student dormitory to give massages to the students who had been training for a day. Since he entered Fairy Mountain, as long as he didn't go down the mountain halfway, he would do it every night.

The young body under him began to tremble slightly, Guan Yi smiled softly: "Li Erdan, wake up as soon as you wake up, how hard it is to endure so much."

The boy named Li Erdan was already in tears at this time: "Shan Zhang, the students don't work hard. The mountain head works hard. For more than a year, the mountain head went to bed later than us every night no matter it was windy or rainy. Students...students are really ashamed..."

"Well, what are you ashamed of? Didn't finish today's subject?"

"Well, Lao Ah's third stage of martial arts training has to last for ten rounds under the attack of a trouble-free instructor. The students have not passed for two consecutive months."

"Hehe, it's only been two months. Isn't the time for each stage four months? Don't worry, don't worry."

"The head of the mountain, the students used to be in Wuling Mountain. They didn't have enough food and clothing, let alone read and read. It was the head of the mountain who undressed me and gave me food. He taught me to read and write. If it wasn't for the head of the mountain, the students Maybe he died in some valley long ago... Now the mountain leader will face the war of destroying the country from the puppet Wei in two or three years. If the students don't learn their skills well now, how can they serve the mountain leader in the future! "

"Huh? Who told you all this?"

"Uh...Forgive me, Master Shan. Yes, Mr. Ma told everyone."

"This is too much, you are a bastard. Li Erdan, you are still young, you are only 13 years old this year. It is normal for your classmates to lag behind your classmates in skill training. So don't feel guilty. As for the big battle in two or three years, hehehe , At that time, you were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and you hadn’t been crowned yet. It’s not your turn to go to the battlefield.”

"Shan Zhang!" Hearing what Guan Yi said, Li Erdan jumped up from the bed excitedly, and his tone became extremely fierce: "Shan Zhang treats me Li Erdan kindly again! If there is no danger in the Shan Chang Time to contribute to the mountain! Then what is the value of my life?!"

"Hmm~~~ Well, why are you all up?"

The candlesticks in the dormitory were lit at some point, and the other nine boys in the dormitory all kneeled neatly in front of Guan Yi.Guan Yi recognized the boy at the head. His name was Ai Fei, he was Bizika, and he was 17 years old.

"Shan Zhang, whether we were Hanmin or Bizika before, we were all precarious and would die at any time, poor boy. It was the Shan Zhang who brought us the dawn of hope. In our hearts, there is no There is no Wei and Wu in the big man. In our hearts, there is only the head of the mountain. If two or three years later, the head of the mountain wants to protect the big man. Then we will follow the head of the mountain to help the big man. If the head of the mountain wants to be the emperor of the Han Dynasty, we will and also……"

"Shut up! What nonsense! What did that bastard teach you?! Well, I'll be here tonight, turn off the lights, and sleep well! Tomorrow's training will increase!"

……

Walking out of the student dormitory and returning to his dormitory, a figure appeared in the darkness.

Guan Yi let out a long breath, and said softly, "Change it, thanks for your hard work."

"My lord, this is what we must do."

"You said... aren't we shameless like this?"

"Shameless indeed, but shameless enough to make sense."
