Zhao Wei, the general of the Zhonglang in the Eastern Campaign, was from a wealthy Brazilian family in Yizhou. When he was serving as the Taicang Order under the great minister Nong of Jiuqing in Luoyang, Liu Yan sought to become a pastoralist in Yizhou. He also abandoned his official position and returned to Bashu with Liu Yan. He was a veteran beside Liu Yan. .
Liu Yan's eldest son Zuo Zhonglang, general Liu Fan, and his second son Liu Dan, the censor and censor, and Ma Teng failed in their plot to kill the traitor Li Jue, so they all died tragically in the royal affairs. Liu Yan suffered the loss of his two sons, and at that time the city was burned down by fire from heaven. Soon the carbuncle spread and died.
According to the eldest son's order, after Liu Yan's death, his third son Liu Mao should have succeeded him. However, Zhao Wei and others, coveting the benevolence of the youngest son Liu Zhang, jointly petitioned the imperial court to appoint Liu Zhang as the governor of Yizhou.
Because Liu Yan had previously suppressed many powerful surnames in Yizhou, after his death, many local heroes rebelled, including Gan Ning.
Zhao Wei was appointed by Liu Zhang as Zhonglang General in the Campaign to the East. He led his army to defeat Shen Mi, Lou Fa, Gan Ning and other Yizhou rebel generals, and took advantage of the victory to attack Liu Biao, the real mastermind behind the scenes.
Afterwards, Liu Zhang ordered Zhao Yu to garrison soldiers to guard against Liu Biao, and dissatisfaction gradually grew in Zhao Yu's heart. He had two great achievements in supporting the establishment and suppressing the rebellion. If it weren't for him, how could Liu Zhang be where he is today?
As a result, Liu Zhang had no sense of gratitude. Instead, he had the idea of "the bird is hidden behind the bow, the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked". He directly threw him at the border, far away from the center, and left him to fend for himself.
Last autumn, Zhao Wei heard that Liu Biao's tens of thousands of troops had been destroyed in Jingnan, and his strength was greatly reduced. He felt that he no longer had any worries, so he used Liu Biao's eastward expedition as an excuse to defraud Liu Zhang of a large amount of rice, military supplies, money and silk, and then joined forces with Yizhou. He had a strong surname and raised an army to rebel against Liu Zhang.
For a time, war broke out in Bajun, Shujun, Guanghan, and Qianwei counties. Zhao Wei was invincible along the way. It was said that he had led his army to Chengdu, but there was no result yet.
Huan Jie talked about the affairs of Yizhou, and Liu Jing listened with great interest. Liu Zhang was probably the least ambitious among the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, so he was naturally easily ignored. Liu Jing was quite unfamiliar with his early deeds.
But one thing he can be sure of is that Liu Zhang will be the final winner in this internal battle in Yizhou.
Liu Jing wanted to unify Jingzhou and compete in the Central Plains. Compared with Sun Quan, who coveted Jingzhou and harbored evil intentions, Liu Zhang, who was from the same clan and had no great ambitions, was his potential ally.
Yizhou fell into civil strife, and the happiest person was Liu Biao. It was said that he was lucky. When the army was defeated last year, Cao Cao, the enemy in the north, was duel with Yuan Shao in Henan; Sun Ce, the enemy in the east, was assassinated while hunting; The enemy Liu Zhang encountered another rebellion by general Zhao Wei. The three were unable to intervene in Jingzhou for a while, otherwise Liu Biao would never be as relaxed as he was now.
Soon after, everyone left because Liu Jingzhou was tired from traveling and should not disturb him too much. Liu Jing left Pan Jun alone and invited him into the back room to sit on the same couch and drink tea and reminisce about the past.
"General..." Pan Jun said.
Liu Jing waved his hand and said: "Brother, our friendship is as deep as that of others. Just call me 'Zhongda' in private."
Pan Jun studied under Song Zhong, a great scholar at home, and he attached great importance to etiquette. He said seriously: "The meaning of the Spring and Autumn Annals: "Fathers, brothers, and brothers are subject to everything." Even if he obeys his father and brothers, he must abide by his dignity and should not be based on personal feelings. And it damages the order of superiors and subordinates, and loses the righteous way of monarch and ministers. What's more, I am an outsider? The word "jun" is not polite."
Looking at Pan Jun's serious look, Liu Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Kong Ming is like this, and so is eldest brother, alas..."
Pan Jun did not answer, but said something else: "The general was ordered by the king to oversee the four counties in Jingnan. Now Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang are all under his command. Only Wuling County refuses to surrender. The general should punish him as soon as possible." , completely unify Jingnan. Only in this way can we concentrate our minds, march the troops from Hunan and Heng to the north, approach Jiangling, and establish Xiangyang, and completely occupy Jingchu, so as to facilitate major events." Mobile terminal::
Liu Jing nodded secretly and said solemnly: "I was about to ask my eldest brother for advice. The Art of War says: 'Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.' Wuling County is the hometown of my eldest brother. I must know the situation in Wuling County very well."
Pan Jun was not modest at all, he nodded and said: "Although I have been away from home for many years, I often correspond with Kun brothers in the clan, so I know a lot about things in my hometown. Then I will tell you something for the general:
Liu Rui, the prefect of Wuling, was born in a royal family. He was well-read in calligraphy and biographies, as well as skilled in arts. He was a famous scholar. A few years ago, he was ordered by Liu Jingzhou to collect the astronomical accounts of his predecessors and write "Jingzhou Accounts". The book was completed last year and became a sensation. Xiangyang.
However, compared with his knowledge, his ability to govern the county is far inferior. He is a Confucian and has no power. The Jingman attacks from time to time but cannot be controlled. Moreover, there are many deficiencies in government orders, which the soldiers and the people resent. The general only needs to send water on foot. Ten thousand people marching westward along the Yuan River will definitely achieve victory in a month or two."
Pan Jun finally added: "It is better to attack Wuling sooner rather than later. Last year, tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Liu Jingzhou were lost to the generals. Xiangyang once had less than 10,000 soldiers. When I went south, the army recovered slightly, but it was only a stronghold. It’s just enough. The general should take advantage of Liu Jingzhou’s inability to go south and send troops to Wuling as soon as possible to avoid future troubles.”
Liu Jing also wanted to remove the nail in Wuling as soon as possible. However, the soldiers were not machines, but human beings of flesh and blood. In the past six months since July last year, the soldiers had been running around many times and fighting successively. They were already exhausted. At this time, he suddenly Raising troops is never the best idea.
Liu Jing planned to let his soldiers rest for half a year and wait until the second half of the year before sending troops to attack Wuling.
Pan Jun also knew that his plan was not complete if he exhausted his troops and entered the enemy's territory. He had no intention of asking Liu Jing to send troops immediately. Liu Jing set the time for half a year. He thought this time was just right. The two of them could not be more different. Conspiring together.
Liu Jing said with a smile: "At that time, my eldest brother will be the master of my west road. I will protect the army and march westward. I will fight with Liu Rui and Ding Wuling. I will stabilize the people inside and pacify the Jingman people outside. I will make the land south of the Dajiang River and north of the Five Ridges four counties. I own everything, and then I can raise my troops to go to the north and have a showdown with Liu Jingsheng."
"No." Pan Jun said solemnly.
Liu Jing turned around and asked with a smile: "Brother, is the teacher's health okay?"
"Teacher is in good health..."
The two met again after many years. They had endless words to talk about and didn't fall asleep until midnight.
The next day, Liu Jing convened civil and military officials in the main hall of the county government to establish General Anyuan's Mansion.
The top priority after the establishment of Anyuan General's Mansion was to reward the generals for their merits.
During the Wu Han Dynasty, Geng Yan and others first persuaded the founder Guangwu to ascend the throne, and Guangwu resigned. Four times before and after, Geng Chun said: "The heroes of the world are chattering, hoping for something. If they don't follow the proposal, they may go back to their masters and do nothing to obey the public." also."
The same applies to Liu Jing.
The generals followed Liu Jing through life and death, defeated Jing one after another, and handed over to the people of the two states, making great contributions to Liu Jing. Now Liu Jing has been awarded the title of General Anyuan, and is the Dong Governor of the four counties in Jingnan. He has the power to recommend generals and commanders to the imperial court. You should reward all the generals as soon as possible, otherwise wouldn't it be chilling?
