Chapter 210 The Feast of Crows (6)

"Your Majesty! I have a way to solve your urgent needs!"

At this time, I stood up and said that of course it was Yang Ju, a Qianliju of the Yang generation of Hongnong.

"Oh, Wen Ju, what's the best way?" Well, fortunately, there are still people who work here on my father-in-law.

"Your Majesty, after my great Jin Dynasty reigned on Wei, all the marquis were abolished. Of course, there is no need to say that this kingdom has been concentrated in Yecheng. But these marquis have had some problems. Especially in the past, the children of Zhang Junyi, Le Wenqian, Zhang Wenyuan, Xu Gongming and others were all abolished. These people, who were inherited from martial arts, suddenly lost their finings, and they would inevitably be dissatisfied with our great Jin Dynasty. Moreover, these people live in various places, and their residences are mostly border areas. It would be fine if they were each to harm the village, but they were afraid of joining foreign races... And now, didn't Wei Boyu say that the northern grasslands were drought? If these brave men passed on their families and foreign races who were eager to go south unite..."

"Well, so what does Wen Ju mean?"

"What I mean is that it is better to gather all these people and give them empty positions and a little money. Let them form a coalition army to support the King of Runan. If these people died in Xiling, that would be the best. If they really get the merits, your Majesty will not be stingy with the reward of the title of marquis..."

"It's amazing. These people have enjoyed the country's wealth and support for decades, and I don't know how much wealth they have accumulated. If they make trouble because of dissatisfaction, it's really a headache. It's better to let them lead their private soldiers to the front line of Jingzhou. In this way, the court will not spend a lot of food, and these hidden dangers can be removed. Good, just do it according to Wen Ju's wishes!"

...

The meeting ended, and after a distance from the meeting hall, Pei Xiu grabbed Jia Chong in a corner: "Gonglu, why did you step on my heel just now?"

"Haha, what do you want to say after Yang Wenju put forward the opinions of summoning descendants of the heroes of Cao Wei to Xiling?"

"What did you say? Of course I objected! Yang Wenju is indeed more capable than Yang Wen, but he is still too young! He didn't think about it. Originally, when I was in the Jin Dynasty, these families who were blessed by Wei State were unhappy, and not to mention that they have been removed from the ban. In the past, these guys were scattered all over the country and were monitored by local local officials, so no matter how dissatisfied, there was no way to connect with foreign races? Bah! Yang Wenju also underestimated the integrity of generals such as Emperor Wu of Wei! But now we actually took the initiative to let them get together! Isn't this to make yourself feel uncomfortable!"

"Haha, Ji Yan, so what?"

"you mean?"

"Your Majesty is still too young, and he didn't have any special friendship with us in his early years. So, it is completely understandable that Your Majesty trusts the Queen's family at this time. So, the question is, Ji Yan, are you willing to quit the court and go home to live your life?"

"...I understand. But if this mess comes, the country will be damaged. Alas, I won't tell you any empty words that are loyal to Dajin, but our family is really bound to Dajin."

"Hmph, because of this, we must have enough influence on Your Majesty's decisions. Otherwise, this great Jin Dynasty will be tortured by Your Majesty sooner or later! This time, the old generals of the Cao family gathered together, and I, Jia Chong, will not stop them, but will give them some help. As long as they make the chaos bigger, your Majesty will know the value of us, the old generals in the past. Alas, if you are afraid, these old generals of the Cao family have been rice insects for decades, and they will be completely ruined!"

"Well, I'm a little confident. Look at the third generation of founding the founding country of Western Shu, why aren't it very capable now?"

"Haha, that's true."

"But Gonglu, I want to remind you that things can be done to a certain extent. Never really shake the foundation of the country."

"Well, please rest assured about Ji Yan. Jia Chong is very cautious."

...

In September 266 AD, due to Yang Ju's suggestion, the descendants of the former Cao Wei generals gathered together from all over the world.

If all the four people, Zhang He, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, are considered to be of the same generation, then there are two of the highest generation among this group of aristocratic families.

The first person was Zhang Xiong, the former general of the chariot and cavalry of Cao Wei, the son of the Zhuang Marquis Zhang He.

Zhang He was the one who survived the longest among the five good generals of Cao Wei. Therefore, his fiefdom was the largest. After defeating Ma Su in Jieting, Emperor Ming of Wei, Cao Rui, expanded his fief to 4,300 households. According to the four or five people per household at that time, the number of ordinary farmers in the Zhang family's fiefdom exceeded 20,000.

In 231 AD, Zhang He died in Mumen Valley. In addition to asking his eldest son Zhang Xiong to inherit the title of Marquis of Mao, Emperor Ming of Wei also named Zhang He's remaining four sons who became sons of Mao as Marquis, and Zhang He's underage youngest son to Marquis of Guannei.

Therefore, the Zhang family's economic strength is actually quite strong. Although the Junhou State was abolished, the farmers actually controlled by the Zhang family had already reached tens of thousands of households. Therefore, this time, Zhang Xiong and his brothers brought a total of 1,000 private troops south to Xiling.

The next one is of course Zhang Hu, the son of Zhang Liao, the former general of Cao Wei.

Unlike Zhang Xiong who did not make a name for himself in the Cao Wei regime after Zhang He's death, after Zhang Liao's death, Zhang Hu was also active on the Cao Wei political stage for a long time. However, after the Sima family took power, Zhang Hu quickly faded out.

Zhang Liao was from Bingzhou, so his marquis was in Jinyang. Bingzhou was originally a place where soldiers were abundant, so this time Zhang Hu and his son Zhang Tong also brought a thousand private soldiers to Xiling.

The next two people are Le Zhao, the grandson of Weihou Lejin, and Xu Ba, the grandson of Zhuanghou Xu Huang.

Le Jin's son was named Le Jin. When Sima Zhao knew that Zhuge Dan was going to rebel, he sent Le Jin to Shouchun to be the governor of Yangzhou. Zhuge Dan raised the flag, Le Jin refused to follow him, and was beheaded by Zhuge Dan. Le Zhao inherited Le Jin's title. Unfortunately, there was nothing left in the Zen period of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Xu Huang's son is Xu Gai, and he died early. After he died, Xu Ba inherited his title. Now, there is no more Yangping Marquis Kingdom.

The power of these two families is much smaller than the previous two surnames Zhang, and each brought only 500 private soldiers.

These people used to be separated from each other and had no news. Now they suddenly gathered together... Are they going to kill the chicken head and burn yellow paper and then revive Cao Wei?

Well, this is actually the case.

"We pay homage to Your Majesty! Your Majesty still remembers us at this time, which is a great honor for you. We are willing to devote our lives to Your Majesty! We will die!"

"Good, as long as all the ministers are loyal to the king's affairs, they will regain the reputation of their ancestors on the battlefield and make achievements for the country. Why should I be stingy with the reward of the marquis!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I am so grateful that I dare not continue to die!"

"Well, all the ministers, now the Bu family in Xiling is surrendering to me anyway and are being besieged by the Eastern Wu. All the ministers can be the vanguard, defeat the Wu army, and relieve my worries!"

"Yes! Be sure to obey Your Majesty's order! I will repay Your Majesty with the chief of Wu Gou!"

...

After seeing you, the reactions of all parties were like this.

Sima Yan: Well, the descendants of these old Cao generals are quite tactful and tactful, and their attitude is very positive.

Yang Jun: I am the most powerful! Your Majesty is wise!

Sima You: That's right, the emperor brother, the king must have a mind tolerate everything, so that he can sway the world. The emperor brother can treat these people well, so who else in the world will not accept the emperor brother? This is the invincible person!

Sima Yan: Hehe, Wen Ju, well done!

Yang Yu: Your Majesty, these four families have brought 3,000 private soldiers. The number is still a little smaller. Is it better to send Xu Cong, the grandson of Zhuanghou of Mouxiang (Xu Chu), to lead two thousand central troops to the south with him?

Sima Yan: Yes~~~.

Privately.

Pei Xiu: Gonglu, the descendants of these old generals of Cao Wei are not simple. They are so humble to Your Majesty. This dissatisfaction is obvious!

Jia Chong: Haha, this is the only way to do it. I won’t tell you, I have to let my control of the report Cao send someone to contact the personnel of Siwen Cao who was stationed in Luoyang in Western Shu. Oh, by the way, I also need to contact the school of the Eastern Wu. Alas, there are so many things.

Yes, don’t think that the ancient intelligence war was very low. In fact, like modern intelligence wars, the intelligence agencies of the Three Kingdoms often struggled with each other and occasionally cooperated. For example, this time, due to the intention of Cao’s report, Shu Han and Eastern Wu received the news quickly.

In late September 266 AD, the Jingzhou Legion of Jin State, which received central support, had a total of more than 53,000 people (two thousand Hanzhong Legion that defended Shu Han in Weixing County) and the entire division went south to Xiling.

At the same time, Guan Yi, who is in Chengdu and Zhong Hui, who is in Jianye, both received relevant news. After receiving this information, Guan Yi and Zhong Hui said the same thing:

"Hey, if you don't accept such a big gift, I'm really sorry for Sima Yan, that fool!"
