Chapter 478: Changes in South China and Longwang North
Author: Soy Sauce Mixed History
After Deng Ai put down the Huang Yuan rebellion, he found a letter from Huang Yuan's possession and gave it to Zhuge Liang.
From that letter, Zhuge Liang learned that the reason why Huang Yuan resolutely launched the rebellion was inseparable from Jiang Dong's support behind him.
At that time, Zhuge Liang relied on his misunderstanding of Sun Quan to guess that Sun Quan would probably not be willing to give verbal support during the Nanzhong Rebellion.
Later, when Jiaozhou Shihui led troops into Nanzhong, Zhuge Liang further confirmed that conclusion.
Therefore, before hearing the news that loyal ministers from Jiangdong requested an audience, Zhuge Liang had always believed that Shi Hui led troops into Nanzhong without Sun Quan's instructions.
It seems to me that there is something hidden behind the incident.
With that doubt in mind, Zhuge Liang had two people outside the camp who claimed to be loyal ministers of Jiangdong be brought in.
Those two people are not Yu Fan and Sun Huan, but they are very different.
When Yu Fan and Sun Huan came to the tent and saw Zhuge Liang walking at the head, Yu Fan felt like he was about to survive the disaster.
Does he know Zhuge Liang?
The meeting between Yu Fan and Zhuge Liang originated from the Battle of Chibi. Zhuge Liang was ordered by Liu Bei to go to Jiangdong to lobby Sun Quan to form an anti-Cao alliance.
During that lobbying, Zhuge Liang quarreled with the scholars and silenced all the heroes in Jiangdong, thus leaving a deep impression on the heroes in Jiangdong at that time.
Yu Fan was also one of the scholars who besieged Zhuge Liang. Even because of Yu Fan's status among the Jiangdong nobles, he could not be the main force in Jiangdong at that time.
Because of this, Zhuge Liang did not know Yu Fan at first.
But when he first met Yu Fan, Zhuge Liang couldn't recognize him for a while.
It's not that Zhuge Liang is forgetful, but it's that Yu Fan of the bright moon looks too embarrassed.
Thinking back to those days, Yu Fan followed Sun Quan's order and led dozens of scholars to engage in a verbal battle with him. In that January, was Yu Fan so full of lotus flowers and so high-spirited that Yu Fan could see the bright moon?
With disheveled hair and tattered clothes, he doesn't look like a celebrity at all. He looks just like a beggar on the roadside.
So when Yu Fan announced his name, Zhuge Liang was very surprised.
Later, after careful observation, Zhuge Liang reluctantly accepted the fact that the man in front of him was unexpected.
No matter how miserable Yu Fan was, he was still not a famous person in the world. After Zhuge Liang confirmed Yu Fan's identity, he warmly invited Yu Fan to sit down.
And Zhuge Liang asked people to prepare food and bring it in.
As for Sun Huan on the side, Zhuge Liang didn't pay much attention.
General Diaolou, there is really no need to be too familiar with him.
After Yu Fan took his seat, tears already appeared in his eyes.
The fear of the past few months was in stark contrast to Mingyue Zhuge Liang's warm hospitality. So how could Yu Fan not be moved?
Sure enough, famous people want to get along with famous people in order to get enough respect. People like Shi Hui are really impossible to work with.
When the food table in front of them was filled with fragrant delicacies, Yu Fan and Sun Huan could no longer suppress the desire in their bodies and began to eat hungrily.
They haven't had a good meal in months.
As for whether the act of gobbling up food would affect the demeanor of a celebrity, Yu Fan didn't care about that at that time.
No matter how transcendent a celebrity is, his essence is just that of an ordinary person.
Zhuge Liang did not disturb Yu Fan and Sun Huan's eating. He continued to handle military affairs while Yu Fan and Sun Huan were eating.
Zhuge Liang knew that Yu Fan and Sun Huan's sudden visit with Shi Hui's head must have some unknown intention or request, but Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry to explore that point.
Keeping calm is neither Zhuge Liang's governing philosophy nor his personal style of doing things.
I don't know how long it took, when all the delicacies on the dining table were wiped out by Yu Fan, and he was satisfied with the Five Zang Temple, and then he remembered the serious business of his visit.
After thinking of that, Yu Fan rushed over and kicked Sun Huan who was standing aside.
Sun Huan was suddenly kicked by Yu Fan, making it impossible for Sun Huan to continue eating. Then he caught Yu Fan's gaze and caught Yu Fan's signal.
Otherwise, Sun Huan reluctantly put the chopsticks in his legs, and then took out a spherical object wrapped in rags from his waist.
Sun Huan stood up with the object, bowed to Zhuge Liang, and quickly pulled away the rags on the surface of the object.
After losing the cover of the rag, the object finally revealed its true appearance - it was Na Shi Hui's head.
At the same time, Sun Huan's voice sounded outside the big tent: "Shi Hui rebelled against the Han Dynasty and his crime is unforgivable. I specially took Shi Hui's head and presented it to the prime minister."
Sun Huan's words separated Zhuge Liang's thoughts from complicated affairs.
Zhuge Liang then focused his gaze on the head in Sun Huan's leg.
Does Zhuge Liang know Shi Hui?
A few months ago, Shi Hui once rode to the Han army's camp in a show of force and insulted him personally.
Could it be that in just a few months, that arrogant scholar emblem would end up in the east field where the corpses were separated?
Zhuge Liang used his eyes to check who was behind him, and looked at Yu Fan aside with a searching gaze.
Of those two, Yu Fan was the one in charge.
"A few months ago, his army made a surprise attack on Ax Mountain, and Shi Hui escaped from the rebel army. Gu has been sending people to track down Shi Hui's whereabouts in the east.
Unexpectedly, he was hunted and killed by Zhong Xiang.
This is not a ridiculous thing, but I can't understand why Zhongxiang suddenly appeared in Nanzhong and killed Shi Hui when he was not in Jiangdong?"
Zhuge Liang asked the question in his mind calmly.
And that question also means that Mingyue Yufan must give a reasonable explanation, otherwise.
Zhuge Liang looked at Yu Fan with gentle eyes, as if he had made a mistake with an old friend.
But Yu Fan knew that Zhuge Liang's gentle appearance hid some murderous intent.
Yu Fan is a good judge. Since he dared to come to Zhuge Liang, he must have various excuses in mind.
Seeing that Zhuge Liang asked about the key point as expected, Yu Fan tried to stay calm, then stood up, crossed his legs and asked Zhuge Liang:
"At the beginning of the year, Fan Fan was ordered by Taiwei to serve as an envoy and went to Jiaozhou to appease Shi Xie.
Unexpectedly, after turning to Dajiao Prefecture, he learned that Shi Xie had been colluding with the Nanzhong rebels. At that time, he originally wanted to return to Jiangdong quickly to report to the Taiwei.
In order to prevent the news from leaking, Shixie sent troops to put Mr. Sun under house arrest.
Later, when Shi Xie ordered Shi Hui to lead the army into Nanzhong, Shi Xie wanted to divert the trouble eastward, so he ordered Shi Hui to take Fan and Sun Gongzi with him in the army.
A few months ago, there was a roar at the Jiaozhou Army Camp, and Mr. Fan and Mr. Sun were able to escape.
Later, Fan and Mr. Sun found Shi Hui who was alone in a dense forest, so they beheaded him and came to look for the prime minister."
After saying those words, Yu Fan didn't dare to express his anger.
He thought that what he said was reasonable. After all, even if Zhuge Liang sent people to Jiangdong to ask Sun Quan about the matter, Sun Quan would use similar reasons to excuse himself.
But even though he was confident in what he said, Yu Fan couldn't help but feel quite uneasy.
Zhuge Liang was a famous wise man in the East, but Yu Fan was not sure that he could deceive him.
After Zhuge Liang listened to Yu Fan's words, he did not respond in time to Yu Fan's words.
Suddenly, the only sounds left outside the big tent were the heavy breathing of Dong Yufan and Sun Huan, and the clear clicking sound of Zhuge Liang's legs and fingers tapping the table.
Just when the anxiety and uneasiness in Yu Fan's heart became more and more intense, Zhuge Liang finally spoke after a long time.
"In this way, Zhongxiang can bear the humiliation and bear the burden, and he is so loyal!"
Zhuge Liang's tone was still gentle, and ordinary people would think that Zhuge Liang was wrong in his praise.
But Zhuge Liang's words fell on Yu Fan's ears. I don't know if it was because he had a ghost in his heart. Yu Fan always felt that Zhuge Liang's words meant something.
Even if Yu Fan didn't dare to express his guess, he could follow Zhuge Liang's words and reply: "It is Han Chen's duty to translate it."
Hearing Yu Fan's reply, Zhuge Liang, who had always been calm, almost laughed out loud.
I haven’t seen him for many years. Is Jiangdong’s minister still so thick-skinned?
Due to considerations in his heart, Zhuge Liang did not say anything to expose Yu Fan. He asked the Han army outside the tent to take Yu Fan and Yu Fan east to have a good rest.
Zhuge Liang's attitude created an illusion for Yu Fan.
He thought Zhuge Liang should believe what he said.
After all, a gentleman can be bullied.
So Yu Fanma took the opportunity to plead with Zhuge Liang: "Fan and Mr. Sun have been detained by traitors for nearly a year. Over the past year, homesickness has often lingered in my heart.
I very much hope that the Prime Minister will sympathize with their homesickness and send troops to escort them back to Jiangdong as soon as possible."
Yu Fan pushed even further, which made Zhuge Liang feel a little unhappy.
Just because he doesn't want Yu Fan to deal with it for the time being doesn't mean that he completely believes in Yu Fan's words and considers the overall situation, just when Dong Fei gets angry.
Unexpectedly, Yu Fan actually thought that he could really deceive him?
When he was unhappy, Zhuge Liang said to Dong Cuoyu:
"No need to rush! Although most of the rebels in the southeast have been wiped out, there are still a lot of remnants hiding in the mountains and forests to cause trouble. To protect the safety of Zhongxiang and his two men, there is no need to rush.
After Gu stabilizes the situation in Nanzhong, he will lead his troops to the north to support Liangzhou Mu. At that time, it will be more appropriate for Zhongxiang and Zhongxiang to join him in the north."
After saying those words, Zhuge Liang showed an imperceptible smile.
"Besides, Liangzhou Mu once mentioned to Gu that when he was in the police, he and Zhong Xiang had an unforgettable past.
Now that Zhongxiang and Gu are in the north together, they can also pay a visit to Liangzhou Mu to comfort him in his longing."
The first half of Zhuge Liang's words was very insignificant, but Zhuge Liang's last words directly made Yu Fan and Sun Huan change their expressions.
Meet Mi Yang?
When that thought came to mind, Sun Huan was almost so frightened that he couldn't hold the Shi Hui head in his legs. Yu Fan was not much better. Almost instantly, a look of panic appeared on his face.
Because of the police incident, the person Yu Fan and Sun Huan least wanted to see in their lives was Mi Yang.
Moreover, the most important thing is that Yu Fan knew that Zhuge Liang was not a gentleman, let alone the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. Even if Zhuge Liang found out that his words were untrue, he would not pursue it for the sake of the overall situation.
But what about Mi Yang?
The word "gentleman" has nothing to do with him.
Moreover, with Mi Yang's cunningness, he would surely be able to spot the flaw in his words at a glance. What should we do then?
Yu Fan immediately wanted to resist Zhuge Liang's proposal, but Zhuge Liang would not give him another chance.
Zhuge Liang waved his thigh, and the Han army came forward and half-pushed and half-dragged Yu Fan and Sun Huan out of the big swelling dog.
After Yu Fan and Sun Huan were brought out, Zhuge Liang thought of the role played by Sun Quan from Jiangdong in the southern expedition, and he felt very unhappy.
But then when he thought of Mi Yang's existence, Zhuge Liang's unhappiness gradually dissipated.
The Han Dynasty has always had a consensus in recent years: what should we do if the Jiangdong port collapses?
It's very simple, just let the red deer chirp a few times.
As the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, did Zhuge Liang know that Liu Bei came to the east and made a mistake in Mi Yang's appointment?
After the death of General Guan Yu, was Mi Yang the most popular candidate for Jingzhou shepherd?
In November of the third year of Emperor Zhangwu of the Han Dynasty, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang, used the tactic of "luring the enemy to encircle them and attacking all the way first" and successfully defeated the two rebel armies of Shi Hui and Zhu Bao.
In the same month, after Zhuge Liang wiped out the Shi Hui and Zhu Bao rebels, he ordered Ma Zhong, the governor of the east gate, to lead five thousand troops to pursue the fleeing Yong Kai rebels.
Ma Zhong led 5,000 Han troops to march through the night and night, and finally chased Yong Kai's rebels outside Wei County in Yizhou County.
Immediately, 5,000 Han troops and 3,000 rebels fought outside Wei County. The rebels were disorganized and defeated by the Han army. The rebel leader Yong Kai was killed by Bundong.
The Nanzhong rebellion, which lasted for about a year, was finally completely put down by Zhuge Liang.
In December of the third year of Emperor Zhangwu of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang led his army to Qielan County, the seat of Xangqi County.
A few months after arriving in Qielan County, Zhuge Liang learned of the news of Yong Kai's defeat.
As a result, Zhuge Liang immediately carried out political reforms in the four counties of Nanzhong.
Zhuge Liang's first reform measure was to divide the four counties of Nanzhong, Yizhou, Yongchang, Zongke, and Yuexi into six counties: Yizhou, Yongchang, Zangke, Yuexi, Yunnan, and Xinggu.
Zhuge Liang made the mistake of appointing the governors of the six counties, despite all opinions, and appointed local people as the main ones.
In order to make the people of Nanzhong feel at ease, Zhuge Liang adopted the policy of "no troops and no food transportation" and appointed Li Hui as the commander-in-chief of the surrender, in charge of the military affairs of Nanzhong.
Zhuge Liang's second reform measure failed: in order to further weaken the local armed forces in Nanzhong, he issued an edict on behalf of the emperor Liu Bei, taking in Cuan Xi, Meng Huo, Meng Yan and other local armed leaders, and granting them official positions and titles.
In addition, Zhuge Liang moved more than 10,000 soldiers from the south and central Qingqiang to the northern counties of Yizhou, and divided them into five tribes, known as the "Wudang Feijun".
Zhuge Liang selected people from the five major tribes in Nanzhong: Jiao, Cuan, Meng, Mao, and Li Zhong to set up five captains to command the elite unworthy flying army.
Zhuge Liang's third reform measure was to call on the big families in central Sichuan to actively recruit barbarians from south China to serve as his tribe. This would help eliminate the barriers between the Han people and the barbarians in Yizhou as much as possible, so that the barbarians and the Han people could be integrated.
political conception.
After Zhuge Liang promulgated those three reform measures, the political situation and customs of the six counties in Nanzhong were undergoing great changes in the unstoppable trend of Yechang.
Zhuge Liang firmly believed that if he could implement his three reform measures effectively, then there would be no major rebellion in Nanzhong in the future.
When the battle between Nanzhong and Nanzhong gradually came to an end, Wolong, who was in Nanzhong, stretched his body and looked towards the north.
My good disciple, how are you doing lately?
