"Fortunately, our vision only needs to be placed on Hanzhong and Shuzhong for the time being." Dong He replied with a smile: "Now Yizhou is stable and the state affairs are booming. No matter how many demons dance in the north, it will not affect us."

Zhuge Liang laughed.

The military and political affairs of the Hanzhong King regime have been the military advisor since Duke Xuande set up the Left General's Mansion in Gong'an City, Jingzhou.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong successively served as military advisor Generals, then became military advisor Generals, and were appointed as Generals of the Left Generals and Grand Sima Mansion. Both of them held the important matters of military and national affairs in one hand. Even if the military advisor was out of control, the King of Hanzhong would send people to consult and decide first before proceeding.

The turning point was in the 21st year of Jian'an, and Pang Tong died in Guanzhong in battle.

At that time, the army was not good outside and the morale was turbulent. Zhuge Liang was in charge of military affairs and politics, mobilizing Yizhou to do his best to stabilize the situation and ensure the supply of the army along the way. Finally, the army returned safely, and the backbone of the soldiers remained.

After the King of Hanzhong returned to Chengdu, as the successors of military newspapers gradually gathered, he realized that the elite troops of Cao Cao's headquarters also suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and they lost the power to fight again. At this time, I recalled Pang Tong's enterprising plan. Although the strategy was indeed hasty, if we really wanted to distinguish, the difference between the winner and the defeat was only a slightest.

What Pang Tong thought may not be unreasonable, but unfortunately he owed some luck in the end. Even the King of Hanzhong also owed luck and lost an important subordinate who had leaned on him as his arm.

The King of Hanzhong often sighed at this time and personally arranged a funeral for Pang Tong, wrote a tribute to the tribute, and appointed Pang Tong's father as a scattered official, giving him a generous salary.

Immediately, the King of Hanzhong adjusted the team of the military advisor General, and was in charge of the General of the Army, Dong He and Zhuge Liang as the Grand Sima Mansion. He also promoted the Grand Sima Xicao Officer, and Liu Ba, the Minister of the Hanzhong Kingdom, to the General of the Fengjun Army, and Xi Zhen and Ma Liang as Zhuge Liang's assistant.

With the support of Dong He and Liu Ba, Zhuge Liang was able to finally get rid of the huge amount of military and political trivial matters and go to Jiangling, representing the King of Hanzhong to be fully responsible for the war with Jiangdong and seize the five counties of Jiangzhou in one fell swoop.

When Zhuge Liang was not in Chengdu, Dong He led his colleagues to deal with the official affairs of the Grand Sima Mansion. During this period, the King of Hanzhong once again adjusted the division of labor of his subordinates and divided the functions originally under the responsibility of Pang Tong, including military planning, military strength and energy conservation of various units:

First, he set up the left and right chief ministers of the Grand Sima Mansion in Jiangling, allowing Guan Yu and Lei Yuan to participate in the military affairs planning of the central government as their predecessors. In addition, he handed over the duties of attending the military mansion and secretly planning to the general of the Guardian, and the Minister of the Hanzhong Kingdom ordered Fa Zheng.

At this point, the power that truly belonged to the military advisor was completely stripped from the military advisor General's Mansion. Although the military advisor General Zhuge Liang had the word "military advisor", his identity was like Xiao He who had enough food and soldiers, or Deng Yu who had a general plan. He rarely discussed specific military affairs with the King of Hanzhong, and focused on the government affairs of dozens of counties and states in the four prefectures and dozens of counties.

Zhuge Liang also knew Fa Zheng's character very well. He knew that he was very sharp and was not a lenient and generous person, so he avoided it. Even if there was something wrong in Liangzhou recently, since the King of Hanzhong did not ask, Zhuge Liang would not speak.

However, in his spare time to deal with official duties, Zhuge Liang would always see the map commonly used by Pang Tong in the hall, so he couldn't help but wonder: What situation will the next attack and defense of Hanzhong and Guanzhong be carried out? If Pang Shiyuan was still there, how would he analyze it with his eyes? How would he deal with it with his means?

Of course, the subordinates all saw this.

Dong He was a loyal and honest gentleman, so he obscurely advised Zhuge Liang not to be too busy and to leave things other than daily government affairs to Fazheng.

Zhuge Liang certainly understood what Dong He meant.

Zhuge Liang was named General of Military Advisor, and actually dominated government affairs; Fa Zheng was named Shangshu Ling of the Kingdom of Hanzhong, and actually took charge of military affairs. Zhuge Liang was undoubtedly the leader of Jingzhou people and was a native of Langya people in Qingzhou; Fa Zheng, a native of Fufeng County in Guanzhong, had been in Yizhou for a long time, but he was not loved by Yizhou people.

Such subtle situations were created by Duke Xuande. After all, Duke Xuande was still the king of Hanzhong rather than an emperor, and the central operation was definitely inseparable from power. To a certain extent, compared with the facts gathered in the military advisor General's Mansion, and Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were close friends, this might make Duke Xuande more comfortable.

"Yes, Yizhou is stable, so you can let the demons dance in the north." Zhuge Liang stopped looking at the map and turned back to his seat.

On the table table in front of the seat and the document shelf beside the wall, a large number of documents were divided into several stacks according to the criterion of priorities, with long and short labels attached. One was hit on the ground at some point. Zhuge Liang quickly picked it up and opened it and saw that Linqiong County requested additional personnel to open the fire well for salt. Zhuge Liang immediately approved it and took out a blank document to order Wang Lian, the general of the Salt Army, to verify whether the salt industry output was sufficient.

Then Zhuge Liang moved his eyes and sat upright without looking up, and criticized the documents violently.

Dong He waited for a while, and probably Zhuge Liang had something to do, so he forgot that he was still present.

He did have some official duties to discuss with Zhuge Liang, so he didn't bother him now, so he chose a seat to sit down, waiting for Zhuge Liang to spend this period.

The four words "Yizhou Stability" are simple to say, but it is really not easy to do it.

From outsiders, compared with the decades of turmoil in the Central Plains, Yizhou seems to be much calmer. However, Yizhou has never been calm.

Since Emperor Shun and Emperor Huan were in power, Yizhou was trapped in barbarian rebellion. It was just that it was not like the Qianghu rebellion in Liangzhou, which was just like the Qianghu rebellion in Liangzhou, and it was only heard of it.

During the Guanghe period, Banyan Man of Ba County launched a large army, affecting half of Yizhou including Shu County, Guanghan, Jianwei and Hanzhong. The court sent important officials to lead heavy troops to attack. It could not be pacified for three years, and in the end it could only be reconciled.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, the leader of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Yizhou, Ma Xiang gathered more than 100,000 people to capture cities and towns and kill the governor of Yizhou. Banyan Man immediately started another incident, and another demon thief Zhang in Ba County caused a rebellion. The court used the elite troops of Xiyuan and barely suppressed it.

When Liu Yan entered Shu, first the prefect of Jianwei Ren Qi and Yizhou were engaged in the rebellion of Jia Long, and there were also rebellions by Shen Mi, Lou Fa, Gan Ning and others. Then Zhao Wei, the general of the Eastern Central Army, rebelled.

Over the past forty years, more than ten times have been wars of tens of thousands of people, affecting every county and state in the northern part of Yizhou. Among them are the arrogant local tyrants, the barbarian leaders who are afraid of the world's chaos, and the Dongzhou people who leave their hometowns and act fewer concerns. They each have their own interests and their own rebelliousness.

There is no need to mention the southern part of Yizhou. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the kings and princes of Dian, Yelang, Qiong, Qiong, and Zuo were all destroyed. However, the barbarians rebelled for hundreds of years. Although the counties in the south were equipped with prefects and chief commanders, the imperial court could not get out of the county and temple. Outside the county town, all the barbarians attacked each other, and they were like boiling.

Occasionally, effective officials expanded their influence here and implemented the county system slightly. However, such officials either moved to other places or died in the local area by jealousy. Later officials immediately rekindled the anti-Han sentiment of the locals with harsh exploitation and taxation, and thus war broke out again and everything returned to its original state.

Across thousands of mountains and valleys, outsiders only talk about the Tianfu of Yizhou and Liu Yan. Liu Zhang and his son have been in the state for more than 20 years and have no kindness to add to the people. Only when they are truly in this situation can they realize that Liu Yan and Liu Zhang and his son have difficulties.

Fortunately, the King of Hanzhong is definitely not a mediocre person like Liu Zhang and his son, and Zhuge Liang is not even Liu Yan, and those ordinary weak talents under Liu Zhang and his son.

Over the past few years, Zhuge Liang has focused on government affairs and has done several major things in a practical way.

It is called strictly enforcing laws and regulations, reshaping principles and disciplines; it is called simply elevating talents, and rewards and punishments must be trusted; it is called clear and formulated to verify calculations; it is called promoting water conservancy, accumulating grain, raising grain, minting coins and distributing money, and pacifying all goods and business; it is called official business operations to provide salt and iron to support the military and civilians; it is called opening up business roads and enriching military resources.

Only after Zhuge Liang did these things well can the King of Hanzhong have the confidence to rush to the Central Plains to wait for the abnormal movements, and only then can he have the confidence to sit and watch Ma Chao gather the crowd without panic.

Before he joined the Grand Sima Mansion with Zhuge Liang, Dong He regarded Zhuge Liang as the confidant of the King of Hanzhong, and planned to be the master and the enemy. Until these three years of participating in the affairs of the agency, he realized that Zhuge Liang was not just that.

If Duke Xuande is the soul and banner of the regime, Zhuge Liang is the irreplaceable pillar and hub of the regime. With these two people, the regime itself is not a separatist force in a corner, but can be perfected and enriched at all times, and continue to move towards the goal of reviving the Han Dynasty.

For this goal, Zhuge Liang tried his best. Dong He also accompanied him, taking on the responsibilities of assistants and assistants wholeheartedly. But after all, he was old, his physical strength gradually weakened, and his energy was far less vigorous than Zhuge Liang. At this time, seeing Zhuge Liang busy, he couldn't help but yawn softly and fell asleep.

I don’t know how long it took, but someone suddenly woke Dong He up.
