In addition to Nanzheng, the city of Hanzhong is Shangyong.
The land of Shangyong is also called the Three Downs of the East, but this name appeared in the middle and late Three Kingdoms periods, and it is still called Shangyong, Fangling and Xicheng. However, judging from the title of the middle and late periods, why not Hanzhong is called the West County, but Shangyong, Fangling and Xicheng are called the Three Downs of the East, which is naturally a special reason.
As early as the Ling Dynasty of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this area belonged to Yizhou, but after Zhang Lu and Liu Yan and Liu Zhang had a quarrel, Zhang Lu seized the southern Zheng area of ​​Hanzhong, and independent the Shangyong area from the territory of Yizhou. During the Zhang Lu period, Shangyong neither completely surrendered to Zhang Lu nor had any contact with Liu Yan and Liu Zhang. Of course, he did not express his raising the banner to make independence. He seemed like a silent bystander, curled up in these three small areas.
It was not until Fei Qian defeated Zhang Lu and the troops were at Shangyong City that Shangyong three places joined Fei Qian's command. Then Huang Cheng took charge of Shangyong and trained his troops. However, Huang Cheng soon became Wei Yan and trained soldiers. Later, Wei Yan entered Sichuan. Shangyong was encouraged by Zhang Ze and half-spoken and half-spoken. As a result, he didn't expect that the affair was not so hot, and the so-called Hanzhong Crouching Tiger was beaten directly into a sick cat in Nanzheng...
The Shangyong Shen brothers were so scared that they had their urine split. They quickly said that they were not familiar with Zhang Ze at all, and that they were all victims. They cried and shouted that they were looking forward to the stars and the moon. Finally, they waited for Fei Qian to send troops to restore Shangyong and other places, and then went to Chang'an to express their loyalty.
It’s just that Fei Qian saw through the ghost thoughts of the Shangyong Shen brothers, so he just ignored them.
The three places of Shangyong are mostly useless areas and occasionally become strategic areas, but they are not lasting. They are often over-the-top and throw them away after use.
Is it geographically important? The three places of Shangyong also have them. The three east counties are the main transportation routes connecting Jingzhou, Yizhou and Hanzhong. However, the problem is that there are many mountains in their territory. Although Mianji River is connected, the three places are almost self-organized and have been semi-closed to the outside world for a long time. It looks like some dangerous mountains and rivers, but the problem is that they are not systematic at all, and there is no natural barrier to the obstacles, so it is just difficult to walk, not that they cannot walk.
Therefore, as long as anyone wants to truly fight Shangyong, if Shangyong has no foreign aid, he can basically fight, but it is just a matter of time. In history, Shangyong has often changed hands, just like in history, after Liu Bei entered Sichuan and captured Hanzhong, he divided his troops into two groups, one by one, sent Meng Da to the north from Jingzhou, and the other Liu Feng went down from Hanzhong from west to east along the Mian River, and directly forced the brothers Shen Dan and Shen Yi to surrender.
Shen Dan and Shen Yi's Shen family have been deeply rooted in Shangyong for a long time, gathering more than a thousand households. In the relatively closed Dongsan County, this is already a powerful force. Therefore, the governance of Shangyong's three places is basically in a state of commissioned autonomy, whether in history or in the present.
Of course, this is also related to the strategy of the Shen brothers being able to get along.
Or it can be called the turtle strategy.
Whether it is Fei Qian or the big guys in history, they are actually very similar in the way to deal with the useless ones.
War is not a game.
Except for guys who are as impulsive as Lu Bu, most normal people will definitely consider what they want to fight this war before launching a war?
If it doesn't make sense, even if a certain area is easily defeated, as a decision maker, you should not be attracted to it because it is easy to attack, because decision makers need to consider higher-oriented strategies.
The Shangyong Land is actually just like this, it is considered a very famous idiot area during the Three Kingdoms period...
Just like in history, Liu Feng and Meng Da conquered Shangyong, it was not simply for the three counties of Shangyong, but for the subsequent preparations for the Northern Expedition to Luoyang and Chang'an!
Therefore, after Liu Bei controlled the Shangyong Land in history, just two months later, Guan Yu led the Jingzhou Corps to march directly, launching the most suspense and controversial Northern Expedition in the history of the Three Kingdoms, attacking Fancheng and Xiangyang!
But many times, when people in later generations discuss certain things, they often only look at the success or failure of the situation one-sidedly, and rarely consider other factors. For example, when Guan Yu marched into Fancheng and Xiangyang, Liu Bei and Guan Yu were actually already in their sixties with the time they were about to enter the world...
At that time, Liu Bei and Cao Cao had been in battle for more than 20 years. Therefore, after becoming the King of Hanzhong, Liu Bei, who was determined to achieve the imperial career, inevitably had the idea of ​​resolving the battle in a short period of time. Capture the entire upper and middle river basins of the Han River and the thorough completion of the preparations for the Northern Expedition to Chang'an and Luoyang, and also became a strategic goal that Liu Bei urgently needed to solve and complete.
Although there is controversy over whether Guan Yu should carry out the Northern Expedition during this period, there is one link that is, in history, Liu Bei seized the three eastern counties and Fancheng to Xiangyang areas, and there was no mistake in this military goal.
However, when Guan Yu was stabbed by Sun Zha, the Jingzhou Corps quickly became defeated, and even Liu Bei from Sichuan and Shu failed to react. Then, it indirectly triggered Meng Da's rebellion, and eventually the three eastern counties were captured by Cao Wei Group. After this series of changes became a fact, the situation changed quietly to the strategic position of the three eastern counties. Simply put, it changed from a strategic location to a useless area. Zhuge Liang's several northern expeditions were at most to restrain the three eastern counties and did not use it as the direction of the main force to advance.
Since the three counties of Jingzhou have been lost, even if the Shu Han Group sends troops to capture the area of ​​the East Three counties, the Cao Wei Group north of the East Three counties, and the Dongwu Group south of the East Three counties is dissatisfied with each other and may stab the back at any time. After the lessons of the sneak attack in Jingzhou that year, the Shu Han Group will definitely not make a strategy to put itself in a situation of attacking north and south.
The same is true for the Eastern Wu. Sun Quan, who had already occupied most of the territory of Jingzhou, was not interested in the area, because even if Sun Quan regarded Jingzhou as the fulcrum of the Northern Expedition, he could have taken the mature route of attacking Fancheng Xiangyang, and there was no need to enter this area to climb mountains and wade.
This is especially true for the Cao Wei Group in the north. Even though they control the three eastern counties on the surface, since this area is not the upper reaches of the Han River, it is really difficult to attack the Hanzhong area by water and land. From this area to attack Jingzhou, there is no support from water and land. If they go south to attack Sun Quan, the Cao Wei Group can also go south from Fancheng Xiangyang, and there is no need to send troops from the three eastern counties with rugged mountain roads.
So in the late Three Kingdoms period, anyone could compete with the Three Kingdoms, but no one was interested.
Including Fei Qian, he controlled Hanzhong, and did not invest much in the Shangyong area. Because this area is a mixed area between Han people and the barbarians, with more mountains and few plains and a sparse population. It is very suitable to train mountain soldiers. After all, there are mountains around, but if a large army is sent to garrison, it is difficult to effectively supplement whether it is soldiers or food and salary.
Therefore, Fei Qian generally treats Shangyong as an affiliated place. He neither lets go easily nor invests too much, especially before completely clearing the power of the Shen brothers in Shangyong area, Fei Qian will not focus on how much money and energy it invests in Shangyong area.
All of this, from a strategic perspective or from the actual situation in the region, naturally determines that the Shangyong area is now a state where grandmas do not love their uncles, parents do not care about their parents, and brothers and sisters do not have any.
People are most afraid of comparing with each other, especially when the Shen brothers watched Nanzheng become a transit station and made rapid progress, while Shangyong land could only rely on small caravans taking the Wancheng Xiangyang route to eat and drink, and there would inevitably be some gap in their hearts.
It is not easy for local tyrants to reach the Shen family level, and it will be more difficult to go up...
During these days, Shen Dan and Shen Yi were worried almost every day.
The two of them are now under the command of the cavalry, but except for one name and local autonomy, there is nothing else to give. Not to mention the various investments and constructions in Nanzheng, even some areas that were originally damaged by the war in Shangyong were ignored.
During this period, the Shen brothers almost made a full schedule. They not only went to Hanzhong, but also Chang'an, and even secretly went to Xu County. After meeting Xun Yu from Xu County, they put down their old faces and were young, accompanying the Chen family of the Xun family in Yingchuan, and were having a banquet and having fun, intending to please, in order to ask for a future way out for the Shen family...
Unfortunately, Xun Yu was also very clear that Shen family could secretly dig Fei Qian's corners to make profits for Shen family, so Shen family would naturally be very likely to poke Cao Cao's chrysanthemum in the future. Therefore, Xun Yu basically just had the attitude of having no dates and hitting a few shots. It would be great to be able to lay some nails for Fei Qian at the same time, but it doesn't matter if the Shen brothers did not support them.
Although the Cao army went west from Xiangyang to Fangling, it was so close that there were almost no defenders in Fangling, Cao Ren did not dare to act rashly. Because for the Cao army, the real trouble was not Shangyong but Chang'an, and the important thing was not the Shen brothers but Fei Qian himself.
In this situation, it is conceivable what good can the Shen brothers of Shangyong be.
Among the three places of Shangyong, local tyrants and sects have great power. Whether they are Yong or Di people, there are clichés. However, these tribes and villages are connected to each other not to fight against the court or to make independence, but they are more just to protect themselves. In this regard, the goals of these ethnic minorities in Shangyong area and other regions are not very similar.
Fei Qian was definitely not a cruel leader, and he did not take any very harsh government orders against these few Yong people in Shangyong and other places. This made even if Shen wanted to sow discord, he could not find any particularly good reasons, let alone let these people fight for life and death for him.
The last time Shen Yi went to Xu County, he simply wanted to get along with everything and make a profit from it.
But he was disappointed.
"The cavalry does not want to use our people..." Shen Yi said somewhat resentfully, "In the time of Chang'an, Guanzhong, the cavalry often used martial arts men. They were not friendly to us... The cavalry people in poor families are hard to have wisdom. If they lose their mastery, the cavalry may... chaos may be in a short time...
Shen Yi traveled on both sides of the east and west, and overall he was more accustomed to the atmosphere in Shandong. In addition to the emperor in Shandong, perhaps for Shen Yi, the rejection of several requests to see the cavalry in Chang'an made Shen Yi feel inexplicably resentful.
At least he met Xun Yu in Xu County, but in Chang'an, even Pang Tong was too lazy to see him.
Is this a question...
Of course, Shen Yi doesn't think this is his own problem.
For the cavalry, Fei Qian has a lot of things to deal with. Not to mention anything else, the administration needs to be signed and issued by Fei Qian, and can be filled with two or three tables every day!
Even if you look at the summary, then scan it at ten lines to see if there are any differences, and then sign and print it. It takes at least five or six minutes to write a text after a whole process. It takes more time to think about and measure more complex things.
In addition to these matters, Fei Qian also has to take time to patrol and inspect Chang'an Sanfu Town, Bingzhai, Workshop, Water Conservancy, etc. Basically, the schedule is full. Even if you have some spare time, it is not good to sit and chat with your wife, and play with your children. Why do you have to take a special attitude of being a polite and rude person for others to see?
After all, Fei Qian has passed the time period when he needs to pose.
What's more, Shen Yi was very arrogant when he was in Chang'an, so he just went to find the cavalry, so he was naturally rejected and became resentful. If he followed the process and reported some practical problems, he might not have been able to meet him.
After Shen Yi arrived in Shandong, on the one hand, it might be Pei Heng's recommendation, on the other hand, it might be that Shen Yi had a little more knowledge and was not blindly going to see Cao Cao. Think about it, if Shen Yi arrived in Xu County, Shandong, he would just want to see Cao Cao. Then if Cao Cao was not in Xu County, Yecheng, could he have to run back to meet Shen Yi so that Shen Yi could praise him as Zhou Gong?
Does Cao Cao need Shen Yi’s praise?
People often feel that they are not wrong, and those who are wrong are others.
Therefore, Shen Yi felt that the cavalry was not good, and Lao Cao was not good.
Of course, the main reason is that Fei Qian and Cao Cao's talent system are some differences. Fei Qian's features have basically become the scientific research system. There is no recommendation at all. After all, Fei Qian has a list in his mind, and only those with impressions will be promoted. It seems that there are also filial and honest people on the outside, but in fact it is completely different from Shandong.
Shandong also promoted the imperial examinations, but it encountered trouble again and again. Cao Cao used poor children, and the powerful local gentry, to play with those poor children, and everyone was looking for trouble, even if they could pick out dinosaur bones. So overall, the talent system in Shandong still focused more on personal background and interpersonal relationships.
Shen Dan was silent.
He has been thinking all the time.
Zhang Lu, Zhang Ze, Liu Zhang, Liu Biao and others wandered like a lantern. What will happen in the future? Is it Shandong or Shanxi, Cao Cao or Fei Qian? This is a very difficult matter for Shen Dan.
If you follow Fei Qian, then the Jue Tian system is an unavoidable problem.
As the Shen family who has been operating in Shangyong for a long time, the Juetian system is like a shackle stuck on their necks, or a knife hanging above their heads. I don’t know when it will be cut off. The fat meat that I had finally accumulated on their bodies has been collected through hardships and has been collected into their own warehouses. It is likely to be taken away with the Juetian system...
This is the most critical issue.
If you want to exempt Jutian from increasing taxes, you must make military achievements.
But this military merit...
It's difficult.
While Shen Dan was thinking, Shen Yi was still talking, "... The Zhang family in Xixian was originally just a Han family, but now he was a county magistrate, relying on the name of a cavalry and being domineering... In recent days, he has actually openly summoned the Qianshou to preach the meaning of the scriptures, teach arithmetics, and measure the land. He also borrowed from Qianmo for the reason of Qingmiao, and borrowed cattle and horses from General Li...
"Hmm?" Shen Dan turned his head and asked, "What did you say just now?"
"Niu Horse? General Li?" Shen Yi didn't know what Shen Dan wanted to ask, so she repeated, "Or it was Qingmiao's loan?"
"No," Shin Dan said with a frown, "You said... measure the land?"
"Ah!" Shen Yi also reacted, and her face suddenly darkened, "Brother... Could it be... the cavalry wants to attack us?"
Shen Dan couldn't help but swallowed.
During this period, the cavalry almost all of the Xiongnu Xianbei Wuhuan, Qiang, Di people and Juju, which made the smaller Yong and Di people in Shangyong almost tremble and did not dare to act rashly. At the same time, it also made the Shen brothers unable to obtain any additional support from the Yong people and Di people.
Now, not only the Yongren and Di people, but also the Han people in Shangyong and the Three Places seemed to have begun to receive the influence of Fei Qian. This naturally made the Shen brothers sit on the stove, smoked and smoked...
As children of the gentry, they control knowledge. The least they want to see is that ordinary people, Guizhou heads, know something that they should not know. What they want to see is that they don’t understand what they say, and they don’t understand what they are. Those ordinary people, Guizhou heads, only need to work every day.
But now Zhang Zhangzhang County Magistrate, who is located in Xi County, is a man from a poor family, not only to impart the knowledge to ordinary people, to arithmetic scriptures and measure the land?
What is this to do?
Especially when I heard that Zhang Zhang actually went to find Li Dian...
At the same time, Li Dian also summoned the Di people's king some time ago and had already opened the so-called test field, saying that it was to show the latest farming techniques, which made the Shen brothers in Shangyong very frightened. The ability they rely on for survival, or the channels for their extra profits, wasn't it just to bully those ordinary Guizhou leaders and rural Di people "ignorant"?
Now if these Guizhou-headed Di people and others have begun to "smart", then where does their profit come from? Then at that time, the Juetian system was implemented...
Shen Dan couldn't help but shivered.
"This matter..." Shen Dan said slowly, "There must be a countermeasure..."
