In the seventh year of Cao Wei and Huang Chu, AD 226, June 20th, Youshi.
Cao Pi, the first emperor of Cao Wei, died of illness in the Luoyang Palace at the age of 40. His posthumous title was Wen and his temple name was Shizu.
On June 29, Cao Rui, who was only 20 years old, ascended the throne in Luoyang and became the second emperor of Cao Wei. It was changed to the first year of Taihe in Yuan Dynasty in 227 AD.
Cao Pi died of illness.
The news soon spread to Wuchang (now Echeng, Hubei Province) and Chengdu.
After learning that Cao Pi had died of illness and that Cao Rui had ascended the throne at a young age, Wu King Sun Quan took the opportunity to send troops to attack Jiangxia. They attacked Jiangxia continuously for more than a month, but failed to break through Jiangxia.
A.D. 226, August.
Sun Quan retreated.
The fourteenth day of the same month.
Chengdu——
"Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, came out to announce: "The lord of Wei, Cao Pi, died of illness a few days ago, and the new lord, Cao Rui, is not stable. This is the perfect opportunity for me, the Han Dynasty, to command the king's army and conquer the Central Plains in the north."
When he learned that Cao Pi was dead, Liu Chan already knew that his father-in-law would soon launch the Northern Expedition.
I have been waiting for more than a month.
Zhuge Liang finally made up his mind.
"I sincerely request your Majesty's permission to personally lead the royal army to send troops to the Northern Expedition." Zhuge Liang said loudly.
Liu Chan was noncommittal.
But at this time, there were already whispers in the main hall, and some people were excited and excited to revive the Han Dynasty and conquer the Central Plains. This is what they have dreamed of all their lives.
But there are also people who are full of doubts.
In their view, Wei was strong and Han was weak. Even if a new ruler of Cao Wei was established, they would launch the Northern Expedition at this time in order to conquer the Central Plains.
It's like hitting an egg against a stone and talking about a dream.
A month ago, Sun Quan of Soochow wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to capture Jiangxia, but after fighting for more than a month, didn't he finally retreat back to Soochow in despair?
Seeing that Liu Chan didn't speak, and hearing that the ministers had different voices, Zhuge Liang frowned slightly.
However, he was already prepared for this.
Although the current Han Dynasty court is in his hands, he knows very well that many people prefer to choose Gou An.
Especially in the past six months.
His Majesty has launched several crafts one after another, and they are all the only crafts in the world. The big man is not as nervous as in previous years, and many ministers have begun to have some surplus in their pockets.
Life is quite comfortable.
So they don't want to fight.
They don't want to see some hope only to have it destroyed by this damn war.
Zhuge Liang was very worried.
Now the world is divided into three parts: Han, Wei and Wu. It is not yet time to enjoy peace. At this time, Cao Rui has just succeeded to the throne and the Cao Wei regime is not yet stable.
By sending troops to the Northern Expedition at this time, Cao Wei might be able to be caught off guard. If the battle is successful, the Han's predicament can be resolved.
Northern Expedition.
Must be turned on.
Cough, cough——
Zhuge Liang cleared his throat, and the discussion in the hall slowly stopped. At this time, he took out a volume from his arms.
Liu Chan was immediately delighted.
"Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang said and handed the manual to the eunuch Fu'an.
Fu'an had just received the manual and was about to pass it to Emperor Liu Chan, but Liu Chan raised his hand and said: "Read it!"
"No!"
Fu'an promised, and then opened the manual. There was a sudden silence in the hall, and only Fu'an could be heard saying:
The late emperor was not yet halfway into his business
And the middle path collapsed
Three points today
Yizhou fatigue
This is the time of critical survival
……
Liu Chan listened carefully. This was an ancient essay he had learned when he was in school, called "Biao Shi Biao".
This is a memorial written by Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, to his lord Liu Chan in order to send troops to the Northern Expedition.
At this time, he was in the court hall of the Shu Han Dynasty. Zhuge Liang was right in front of him, listening to the master's instructions again, and Liu Chan's blood boiled with excitement.
Chenbenbuyi
Working hard in Nanyang
Gouquan lives in troubled times
Don’t seek to hear and reach the princes
The late emperor did not regard his ministers as despicable
I'm sorry for myself
Three ministers in the thatched cottage
Counselors use the affairs of the world
So grateful
Then he promised the late emperor to drive him
……
Halfway through Fu'an's recitation, all the courtiers in the main hall were moved by it. Even those who were timid and fearful of war had to respect Prime Minister Zhuge Liang.
Liu Chan is naturally even worse. Although he traveled back in time for almost three years, the time he spent with Zhuge Liang was not short.
As for the late emperor's entrepreneurial journey, we are already familiar with it in history books and movies and TV dramas in his previous life. At the same time, looking back on the original memory, we have a deeper understanding.
Now the South is decided
The armor is sufficient
Award winning rate for the three armies
Beiding Central Plains
The common people are tired and stupid
Get rid of evildoers
Revive the Han Dynasty
Return to the old capital
……
When Fu'an had just finished reciting Prime Minister Zhuge Liang's "Commentary", Liu Chan didn't care what the other courtiers thought, and he had no intention of giving them a chance to speak.
"Pass the message!" Liu Chan said loudly: "Order Prime Minister Zhuge Liang to lead the three armies and send troops for the Northern Expedition."
"I accept the decree!"
Zhuge Liang immediately agreed. Seeing the relief on Zhuge Liang's face, Liu Chan felt his heart pounding non-stop.
Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition is about to begin.
Liu Chan suddenly became nervous.
After all, Zhuge Liang in history went out to Qishan six times in his life, and finally died of illness in Wuzhangyuan. He was unable to fulfill his long-cherished wish to conquer the Central Plains in the north.
Now Liu Chan has changed his soul.
He knows the course of history.
Big man——
What kind of future will it lead to?
Although nervous.
But he also knew very well that he must support Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, even if he didn't know what the new outcome would be in the future.
This is history repeating itself.
Or should we turn things around and rebuild the Han Dynasty?
He must support it too.
Because this is his life.
He is Liu Chan now.
He was the monarch of the Han Dynasty.
It was his responsibility and mission as the emperor of the Han Dynasty to revive the Han Dynasty and conquer the Central Plains.
Moreover, when he was watching "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" since he was a child, he had a regret in his heart, regretting that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang could not dominate the world.
Now that God has given him this opportunity, he may be able to change the historical direction of the Han Dynasty.
Change——
Let’s start by supporting Zhuge Liang.
Of course——
Another more important point is that Liu Chan knows better that even if he disagrees with Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, it is of no use at all.
Nowadays, for the great Han Dynasty, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang has the final say in military and state affairs.
Zhuge Liang wants to expedition to the north.
Who can stop it?
……
In the days that followed, Zhuge Liang was busy preparing for the Northern Expedition, secretly deploying troops and generals.
The entire Shu land suddenly became busy, and grain and grass from all over the country were constantly mobilized to Hanzhong.
At the same time, Zhuge Liang ordered the Salt Refining Department, Sugar Refining Department, Brewing Department, and Paper Making Department to increase production efforts.
Because he knows very well that once the war starts, the consumption of money and food will be particularly serious, and he must make full preparations in advance.
Unlike Zhuge Liang who is busy.
On the contrary, Liu Chan had an easy time, because Zhuge Liang was so busy that he had no time to care about him as the emperor.
In the past, there was only one meeting every five days, but now there is no meeting once every ten days and a half. Zhuge Liang conducts all the matters of the Northern Expedition in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The fifth year of the Jianxing period of the Han Dynasty, April 16, 227 AD.
After more than half a year of preparation, Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, personally led more than 80,000 Han troops and stationed troops in Mianyang (now Mian County, Shaanxi Province) in Hanzhong.
Jiang Wan joined the army, and Zhang Yi stayed in Chengdu.
