Chapter 321 Carrying the King of Hanzhong and the beginning of the confrontation between the North and the South
Taishi Ci's sudden death filled Liu Bei with sadness and surprised Shen Chen.
I originally thought that he had escaped the reincarnation of history and would open a new chapter, but I didn't expect that he would die in the plague after all.
Huo Jun and Tai Shici were ambushed by Liu Bei at the rear of Bodao, and their troops and horses were all drawn from Jingzhou.
At that time, the plague was prevalent in Huainan and infected Zhao Yun and Huang She's army, causing heavy casualties to the Xiling army and Jiangxia navy, as well as to the people who were building fields around lakes in Jiangxia.
Perhaps at that time, the plague went up the Yangtze River, affecting Jiangzhou, Fujie, Jiangyang, Bodao and other places, and then spread to Bashu.
In addition to the two senior generals Tai Shici and Huo Jun in Liu Bei's army, there were also many casualties among middle-level officers, and a large number of infections among lower-level soldiers.
The only good news is that Shen Chen controlled it in time, preventing the epidemic from expanding again and preventing a bigger disaster from happening in time.
But Huo Jun and Tai Shici still died of illness.
But that's life.
Liu Bei was so sad that he returned to Shu County in person, buried the two of them richly, treated their children well, and made Huang Zhong a general to lead the army.
His death was because he was a veteran of the royalist faction of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie, which blocked Cao Cao's path of turning his power to the opposition. A large number of royalists were purged, and the remaining courtiers all became Cao Cao's minions.
However, the places he occupied at that time were Hanyang County, Anding County and Beidi County. Since Hanyang County belonged to the front line and Cao Liu was at war, it was inconvenient to relocate the people, and he also needed to recruit civilians to transport grain, so he did not move the people of Hanyang at that time.
For a time, people from all walks of life had been building momentum and preparing for the upcoming war, but due to the sudden great plague, the war came to a standstill.
The prime minister and the prime minister are not one official position, but two, and in the early Western Han Dynasty, the status of the prime minister was higher than that of the prime minister.
In terms of status, the emperor is the greatest, followed by the prime minister, and then the prime minister.
Killing Yan Kuang and controlling the Diannong army will definitely not work.
At this time, the imperial physician Ling Jiben, Shaofu Geng Ji, Sizhi Weihuang and others who were in Chendu believed that Cao Cao was far away in Guanzhong, and Cao Cao's army was defeated and morale was low, so they should take the opportunity to initiate civil strife.
But just as the stage was set up and the actors were about to take their places, the plague that suddenly swept across the world caught all three parties by surprise.
However, the surrounding enemies suffered heavy losses, and Sun Quan was not much better.
Zhongzi means second son in ancient times.
Fortunately, after more than half a year of action, the Jingyi plague was basically under control. By the middle of the 23rd year of Jian'an, the northern plague also slowly subsided.
The rest are Taifu Xu Jing, Taichang Lai Gong, Guang Luxun Huang Zhu, Shaofu Zhang Song, Zongzheng Liu Yan, Tingwei Wang Mou, Taifu Zhou Lin, Dasi Nong Li Hui, Shangshu Liu Ba, Yang Yi, Jiang Wan, Deng Zhi, the servant Ma Liang, Liao Li and so on.
Gibbon and the others believed that if they could quickly kill Wan Qian and Wang Xuan and control the gate of Chendu Palace, they could resist Yan Kuang's attack.
However, the three of them were all generals guarding one side, higher than ordinary generals, just below the four generals at the front, back, left, and right, and they basically all worked part-time as local governors. They had a very high status among the generals, so they were not deliberately suppressed.
The plague in the 22nd year of Jian'an caused the last three major princes in the late Han Dynasty to cease their activities.
Because the letter to Shen Chen stated that the troops they could mobilize were only more than a thousand domestic slaves. Even if you include the secret agents and spies that Shen Chen had deployed in Chendu for many years, the number was less than 2,000.
Huainan was the area hardest hit by the epidemic. Lu Su Lingtong died of the plague one after another. Forty-five out of ten soldiers in the army were infected with the disease. The population under his rule also declined massively, making it difficult for him to maintain his troops. He withdrew his troops and returned to Jianye to recuperate.
But no one would have thought of it.
Therefore, the entire rebellion conspiracy was very hastily planned, and Gibbon's power was also very limited, and they were unable to make any trouble at all.
But that's the truth.
Now, because Liu Bei began to compete with Cao Cao for Xiliang, and after Cao Cao retreated, he captured Liangzhou, and moved to Hanzhong County with the large army.
The people who actually controlled Chen Du's city defense, palace guards and thousands of soldiers at the city gates were Cao Cao's Wei Wang Chang Shi Wanqian and Shangshu Wang Xuan.
Even if Gibbon and the others succeed and Shen Chen immediately sends troops to attack Yingchuan, they will not be able to kill Chen Du in a short period of time. Chen Du's troops can easily eliminate them by then.
Han Sui had died of illness at this time. Yan Xing had rebelled against him and defected to Xia Houyuan, but then Cao Cao's forces withdrew from Xiliang due to the epidemic. After Han Sui's death, no one occupied Xiliang.
It's also something that can't be changed.
Shen Chen sent out many doctors to travel north with prescriptions, like retrograde men, traveling to the places where the epidemic occurred.
In Hanyang County at the end of the Han Dynasty, which was later Tianshui County and Ji County of Cao Wei, there was a seventeen-year-old boy who lost his father when he was young and lived with his widowed mother. He liked Zheng Xuan's classics and Shen Chen's classics.
It took more than a month for Cao Cao to learn that Liangzhou had been occupied by Liu Bei, so he quickly prepared to send troops.
According to history, after he came of age, the county considered his father's merits, so he was recruited to serve as an official in the county. Later, he was called to work in Liangzhou, and he was given an official position to join the army.
Therefore, in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, before the death of Lu Chan, the last prime minister, the prime minister's status was equivalent to that of the later prime minister, one person below ten thousand people, and the left and right prime ministers were equivalent to deputy prime ministers, who were the deputies of the prime minister.
Huang She, the commander of the Jiangxia Navy, was also infected with the plague. Fortunately, Zhang Zhongjing arrived in time and successfully rescued Huang She before he died of the disease, while less than half of the Jiangxia Navy and the Xiling garrison were killed or injured.
The Jiangdong family clamored for Sun Quan to surrender to Cao Cao every day, which gave Sun Quan a headache.
However, although Mi Zhu, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Huang She and others were not enfeoffed, they were rewarded.
Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei and Ma Chao to pursue him, and sent Guan Yu's troops out of Baoxie Road to flank Cao Cao's army and achieved great victories at Longguan and Xixian.
Runan is close and Nanyang is far away. By the time Shen Chen arrived, Gibbon and the others' bodies were probably cold and there was no way they could survive until Nanyang's reinforcements arrived.
Shen Chen had an elder brother named Shen Zhong, so Shen Chen named himself Shen Zhongzi as a great Confucian. His books were circulated in the north and were printed with this name on the covers to indicate who the author was.
In addition, Shen Chen also had the honorary title of Crown Prince and Tutor, which gave him a very high status.
Even the Sun family almost shared the rule of Wu with the aristocratic family.
I have been advised and advised.
Among them, what should be particularly pointed out is the issue of controlling the prime minister and the country.
Therefore, in terms of ranking, if Shen Chen is in the list of civil servants, he should be ranked below Xu Jing and Mi Zhu and above Jiu Qing, and he will be ranked two thousand stones.
At the beginning, Cao Cao used Guo Jia's plan to attack Sun Quan first, make Sun Quan win Liu Bei's trust, and then lead Sun Quan to attack Jingzhou.
In the early days, he was still useful. He could help recruit talents, gain a reputation as a righteous person, and attract refugees and aristocratic families to invest.
Because Cao Cao deployed heavy troops in Chendu, Cao Hong also had 100,000 troops in Yingchuan, Runan and other places.
Even if Shen Chen had a rough idea of the direction of history, how could he have predicted that something like this would happen?
What can I do if I can’t be persuaded?
But this may not be the charm of martyrs since the Qin and Han Dynasties.
But the actual capital is Ye County in Wei County, Jizhou, named Yecheng.
So this seal of approval quickly reached Cao Cao's hands.
In the middle of the 23rd year of Jian'an, Cao Cao mobilized an army of 100,000 troops, plus the 100,000 troops guarding Guanzhong, totaling more than 200,000 troops, and marched to Xiliang in a mighty manner.
Guan Yu had the highest status, followed by Shen Chen.
The great epidemic gradually came to an end in the 22nd year of Jian'an. It was not until the beginning of the 23rd year of Jian'an that the epidemic in Jingyi was basically calmed down, and Liu Bei took the opportunity to send troops again to capture Xiliang.
Now the nominal capital of the Han Dynasty is Chenliu County in Chenliu County, which is called Chendu.
Shen Chen had watched the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and knew about this scene, but he knew that Gibbon, Geng Ji and others took it for granted.
Even the disaster caused by the party's imprisonment was not the literary prison, but the failure of the imperial students to follow the three monarchs into the palace to execute the eunuchs, which led to the emperor's massive suppression of his relatives and party members.
At this time, as long as Shen Chen's army is dispatched and immediately attacks Chendu, Cao Hongyankuang and others will be captured in one fell swoop.
no way.
After that, there are the governors of various places, the prefects of the ten counties in Jingzhou except Guiyang County, the prefects of the fourteen counties in the north of Yizhou, except for Anhan General Mi Zhu, Jianwei General Huang Zhong, Yijun General Zhao Yun, Hengbo General Huang She and a few others. Most of them have been re-awarded.
Just like Liu Xie didn't want to make Cao Cao Duke of Wei or King of Wei at all, even if Sun Quan named himself King of Wu at this time, he no longer had the power to intervene.
For a time, the benevolence of Shen Chen and Zhang Zhongjing as doctors was spread everywhere in the north.
But he didn't dare to really suppress the aristocratic family.
There is a clothing edict issued by Dong Chengmou.
But they only have super high status but no real power.
Because after Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, he restored some Qin systems and established the Prime Minister and his deputies to serve as prime ministers.
After all, he has only read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and has never read any history books.
There are four generals in front, left and right. The former general is the most noble, the rear general is second, then the right general, and finally the left general.
Although Shen Chen knew that their death was meaningless, he could not dampen the righteous heart, so he actively prepared to respond.
There is a secret plan by Queen Fu to assassinate Cao Cao.
Even Wei Yan was named General Zhenyuan and Governor Shangyong because of his contribution to the pacification of Hanzhong.
Several major defeats forced Sun Quan to rely more on the Jiangdong gentry.
Therefore, Cao Cao and Sun Quan could only promote Shen Chen's theories, hoping to make these theories that suppressed aristocratic families deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so as to cultivate the children of poor families.
This is not a tragedy for Liu Xie.
Then a mandala was set up in Mianyang, Hanzhong, with a radius of nine miles and distributed in five directions. There were flags and honor guards in each area. The three armies lined up neatly and were solemnly accompanied by all the ministers. After reading the above orders from all the ministers, Liu Bei was given the crown, and he was called the King of Hanzhong. Located in Jiangzhou.
The young man's surname is Jiang, his given name is Wei, and his given name is Boyue.
Although Cao Jun's frontline general Li Dian also fell ill at this time and died of illness by the end of the year, leaving only Xue Ti and Zhang Liao garrisoned in Hefei.
However, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Huang She and others did not make much contribution, so they have not been promoted for the time being.
But of course this letter of persuasion could not reach Liu Xie's hands.
Finally, Ji Ben, Geng Ji, Wei Huang, Jin Yi and others were willing to die generously.
Even because he criticized the aristocratic family for confining land and raising slaves, which caused the country's decline, the aristocratic family thought it harmed their interests, so they banned it from being spread to the outside world or among the people.
Liu Bei also took advantage of his strategy and deliberately fought Cao Cao in the Xiliang Pass. He transferred his main force to the north, and the illusion of Jingzhou being empty lured Sun Quan to attack.
But Gibbon and others wrote back saying that they were not afraid of death and were willing to die to clarify their ambitions.
Of course Cao Cao didn't know what cultural invasion was.
After Liu Bei ascended the throne as King of Hanzhong, he granted many ministers great titles.
When Cao Hong gets the news, he will definitely be shocked and send troops back to Chendu to put down the rebellion.
Shen Chen could only hope that they would take action later, and wait until he was fully prepared before taking action.
The same goes for Sun Quan.
Between Xiao He and Lu Chan, Cao Shen, Fu Kuan, Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo and others all served as prime ministers, and they were all equipped with deputies such as left and right prime ministers.
However, because the epidemic in the north had not been completely calmed down, Cao Cao hurriedly raised troops. After three months of confrontation, the follow-up food and grass could not keep up in time, so he had to withdraw to Chang'an.
It was a pity that this edict had just arrived in Yi County and was torn into pieces by Zhang Fei before it was sent to Hanzhong. Quan pretended that nothing had happened.
As a result, Shen Chen's teachings gradually became more and more popular. He already established a sect in Jingzhou and was respected as a great Confucian in other places. Many people from poor families and lower-class scholars called themselves disciples of the Shen family.
Liu Bei's situation is slightly better, but not much better. The plague has caused everyone to be in danger, especially frontline food and grass.
For example, during the conflict between Chu and Han, Prime Minister Han Xin had his right and left deputies, Prime Minister Cao Shen on the right, and Prime Minister Chen Juan on the left, who attacked Xiang Yu with him.
After that, each vassal kingdom also established a prime minister and his deputy, the prime minister. After Emperor Wen of Han succeeded to the throne, he issued an edict to let each vassal kingdom revoke the position of prime minister and change the title of prime minister to prime minister.
On the general side.
Wherever Ma Chao went, Xiliang watched the wind and descended. Jia Xufazheng suggested that Liu Bei move the people of Liangzhou to Hanzhong. Liu Bei agreed, so he moved all the Han people to Longxi, Jincheng, and Hanyang counties. The Han people returned to Hanzhong, leaving behind a large number of Qiang people. people.
Therefore, Guan Yu was appointed as the former general, and he was given a leave of absence, and was stationed in Guanzhong. Ma Chao was appointed as the rear general, and he was stationed in Wudu. Zhang Fei was appointed as the right general, and he was given a holiday and was stationed in Liangzhou. Shen Chen was appointed as the left general and the crown prince. On the holiday day, I stayed in Nanyang.
Among them, the king of Hanzhong made a memorial to Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, to persuade Liu Bei to join Liu Bei. They include Pingxi General Dutinghou Ma Chao, Zuo General Shi Ling the Chinese Army General Xu Jing, Camp Sima Pang Xi, Yi Cao and Zhong Lang General Yi Zhong Lang General to shoot reinforcements. Military strategist general Zhuge Liang, Zhenjun general Shen Chen, Dang bandit general Han Shoutinghou Guan Yu, Conqueror general Xintinghou Zhang Fei, Jianwei general Huang Zhong, Yijun general Zhao Yun, Hengbo general Huang She, Zhenyuan general Lai Gong, Yangwu general Fa Zheng, Xingye General Li Yan and other 120 people were sent to Chendu, where they were captured by Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
At this time, Chendu was relatively empty. There were only thousands of guards guarding Liu Xie's palace gates, soldiers at the city gates, and thousands of peasant troops outside the city. There were not many manpower.
Under this situation, Liu Bei was unable to fight for Liangzhou anymore. He only arranged a few soldiers, horses and officials in Wudu to manage it, and withdrew his troops back to Hanzhong to accumulate food and grass to prepare for the next wave of war.
Cao Cao also moved the people.
The situation on Sun Quan's side is similar to that of Cao Cao.
Like Cao Cao, Liu Bei divided his ministers into vassals according to the Western Han Dynasty's rules and regulations.
Sun Quan also followed the trend and made plans to sneak attack Jingzhou.
Everywhere they went, they prepared medicine to treat the affected people. When others asked, they said that Zhang Zhongjing, the great doctor of Nanyang, had found the right medicine. Shen Zhongzi, the great scholar of Nanyang, could not bear the suffering of the affected people in the world, so he sent them to treat them.
For a time, Liu Bei's army gained momentum and had the potential to annex Guanzhong in one fell swoop.
So they contacted Shen Chen in Nanyang and prepared to launch an attack at night to kill Wan Qian, Wang Xuan and others who were placed by Cao Cao in Chendu to guard Liu Xie. Enter Chendu.
The plague was rampant in Cao Cao's rear, so that the fields were uncultivated and deserted, and it was gradually difficult to maintain food and grass. He had no choice but to abandon Xiliang and withdraw his troops back to Chang'an.
Liu Xie was controlled by Cao Cao and used the emperor as a puppet to control the princes.
So he can only do his best.
For the sake of justice, Wu Fu assassinated Dong Zhuo.
If the supply of grain and grass to Wudu is to be guaranteed, navigation between Jingzhou and Yizhou must continue to transport grain to the north.
It is a pity that he compromised with the Yingchuan and Yanzhou gentry in the early stage, so that the power of the northern gentry flourished again, and the power of the aristocratic family was unprecedentedly powerful.
There were not only two prime ministers on the left and right, but also a middle prime minister. Because Xiao He had been the middle prime minister, there was a situation in the early Han Dynasty when there was a country with one prime minister, left and right, and three prime ministers in the middle.
When Shen Chen received the news, he immediately responded. He ordered Wen Pin to be a general and lead 5,000 men to guard Danshui to prevent Cao's army from entering Nanyang from Wuguan to support Cao Hong. He also personally led the army, with Gan Ning, Zhang Xiu and Lu Chang as generals. , mobilized an army of 50,000, and marched north to the Central Plains.
As the first person among the three to quell the epidemic, Liu Bei took this opportunity and immediately sent Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Li Hei and others as generals to go to Tianshui himself to capture Liangzhou.
In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang divided his descendants into princes and kings. These princes and kings formed their own kingdoms, and their officials basically copied the central court. It was not until the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty that this situation changed.
Kong Rong did not die in literary prison. He scolded Cao Cao too much in the early days. He scolded Cao Cao every day and did not see Cao Cao teasing him.
In the second half of autumn and September of the 23rd year of Jian'an, Yoshimoto saw that an opportunity had come, because in a few days, they observed that Yan Kuang was about to transport a large amount of grain and grass to the Yingchuan front line.
At the same time, Fa Zheng was appointed Prime Minister of the Right and Shangshu Ling, Zhuge Liang was appointed Prime Minister of the State, Pang Tong was appointed Prime Minister of the Middle Kingdom, Jia Xu was appointed Yushi Dafu and the Chief Minister of Hanzhong, and Xu Shu was appointed Prime Minister of the Left and Grand Administrator of Hanzhong.
Therefore, Gibbon immediately sent a message to Shen Chen's spies in Chendu, asking them to send a message to Shen Chen immediately to prepare for action.
Since the Han Dynasty valued the right, the general on the left should have had the lowest status.
Therefore, although the people of Cao Wei had a hostile relationship with him, he was respected by the people of Wei from then on.
According to their intelligence, Cao Jun had 20,000 to 30,000 troops in Chen. The commander was Diannong Zhonglang General Yan Kuang, who was a subordinate of Cao Hong. He was mainly responsible for grain and grass in Henan and other places, and delivered grain to Cao Hong.
But this plan is completely a suicide plan.
But who in the world doesn't know that Shen Zhongzi is Shen Xiaoqing of Nanyang? He realized the concept of "unity of knowledge and action" when he was more than ten years old, which is highly praised by scholars all over the world.
After the founding of the Han Dynasty, Han Xin was named King of Chu, and Xiao He officially became the first prime minister after the establishment of the Han Dynasty. His left and right deputies were Prime Minister Fan Kuai on the left and Prime Minister Yin Hui on the right.
The main reason is that Mi Zhu was above the Prime Minister when arranging the shift, and was only below the Grand Tutor Xu Jing, so he had a high status.
So Shen Chen immediately wrote back, hoping that they would not act rashly for the time being. Even if they wanted to take action, they should find out the specific situation, such as all the arrangements of Cao Jun in Chendu, who could be killed to control some troops and horses, etc.
However, Gibbon and others had made up their minds and insisted on taking action. Fortunately, they listened to the advice and did not start taking action immediately. Instead, they cooperated with the spies deployed by Shen Chen in Chendu and began to inquire about the situation of Cao Jun in Chendu.
The two sides faced off again at the street pavilion.
Historically, it was Wang Bi, but Wang Bi was killed by Shen Chen. Therefore, like Wang Bi, Wan Qian, who was a Sikong Changshi in his early years, became the actual controller of Chendu.
Therefore, Cao Cao not only recognized Shen Chen's words, but also hoped to carry out such changes in the north.
Taking advantage of this great victory, the people persuaded Liu Bei to become the king of Hanzhong. Liu Bei then ascended the throne in Hanzhong and went to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to ask for his approval.
But by the time the three-legged structure emerged in the late Han Dynasty, Liu Xie's usefulness had become less and less, and Cao Cao's attitude towards him naturally plummeted, and he did not take him seriously at all.
Originally, Liu Bei planned to appoint Jia Xu as Zuo Prime Minister because of his meritorious service, but Jia Xu refused, and in the end he could only be appointed as Yushi Dafu.
In other words, Liu Bei imitated the princes and kings in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty and established a prime minister's state with three prime ministers on the left and right.
In the two battles, Cao's army suffered many casualties, and fled back to Jingzhao in embarrassment. Yin and Fengyi on the left and Fufeng on the right were close to Xiliang and Qianxian, Yumi, Yongxian, Chencang, Yixian, Duyang and other places in Guanzhong. Occupied by Liu Bei.
With this small number of men, it is difficult to defend against 20,000 to 30,000 Diannong troops, let alone Cao Hong's main army of 100,000 troops.
Only the interests of the bureaucratic class and the aristocratic class are consistent. They both choose to exploit the people for the benefit of their own families.
If this continues, the final result can only be that the country becomes more and more declining. The top ruling class, such as the Cao family of Cao Wei, the Liu family of Ji Han, and the Sun family of Soochow, will lose their population, land, food and grass, and the families will benefit themselves and harm the country. As a result, the country was annexed by foreign enemies.
In the bronze inscriptions of the Han Dynasty unearthed in later generations, the prime minister of the country is generally called "Xiang Bang", and the document records it as "Xiang Guo". It is believed that later generations changed it to avoid the taboo of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty.
After all, Shen Chen said in his book that the interests of the highest ruling class are consistent with the interests of the people at the bottom. The rulers and the people at the bottom should complement each other. The king cannot be separated from the people, and the people cannot be separated from the king.
Because Yan Kuang stayed in the heavily guarded military camp every day, they basically had no ability to break in.
But I can't resist Liu Bei becoming the general of the left.
If Liu Bei hadn't suppressed the aristocratic families in Jingyi and taken away their land and population, the Jiangdong nobles would have overthrown the Sun family and defected to Liu Bei, instead of asking Sun Quan to surrender to Cao Cao.
He knew that he could not stop Liu Bei, but also wanted to disgust Liu Bei, so he had someone write a scolding edict in Liu Xie's tone, stamped it with the imperial seal, and sent it back.
In terms of actual power, Zhuge Liang was the highest, followed by Fa Zheng, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu.
Therefore, Shen Chen's book was circulated in the north, and the book's analysis of the bottom class and the pros and cons of aristocratic families were also circulated in the north.
There were no literary prisons at that time. It was common for great Confucian scholars to criticize the emperor's government. Since the Han Dynasty, there has been only one literary prison, that is, Sima Qian's grandson Yang Yun was beheaded because of the "Book of Reporting to Sun Hui Zong" that "Emperor Xuan saw it and hated him".
So Liu Bei became the King of Hanzhong without even the Emperor of Han Liu Xie knowing.
In terms of status, Xu Jing has the highest status, followed by Mi Zhu, then the prime minister and Jiuqing.
Later, Lu Chan was appointed as the prime minister, and his left and right deputies were the prime minister on the left to review food, and the prime minister on the right was Chen Ping.
If he were ranked just below Guan Yu in the list of generals, and above Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, Huang She, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others, he would be second only to the generals, but his status would still be very high.
The wheel of history has changed once again.
However, the Cao family and other ruling classes recognized the words in his book very much. Cao Cao often gave his books to Cao Pi, and Cao Zhi and others watched, silently wrote and recited the full text.
However, Huainan and Nanyang continued to import epidemics, and as the Yangtze River flowed into Bashu, Huo Jun and Taishi Ci died of the plague from Jingzhou, resulting in the loss of almost 10,000 to 20,000 troops out of the 70,000 ambushes placed in the rear.
Moreover, he also needed the power of aristocratic families to help him support the court and avoid future worries. Almost all of his ministers under King Wei were from aristocratic families, and there was no way he could imitate Liu Bei and suppress aristocratic families.
And in the 23rd year of Jian'an, Liu Bei had just defeated Cao Cao and took advantage of the situation to become King of Hanzhong.
Originally, the rebellion was just a small-scale riot and did not cause a sensation.
But as Shen Chen sent troops, the nature changed.
Overnight, all three parties took action, and plans that had been put aside by all three parties due to the epidemic were picked up again.
Historically, the Three Kingdoms' struggle for hegemony ended with Ji Han's destruction of Soochow and the confrontation between the north and south of Cao Wei.
It is known in history as the beginning of the North-South confrontation.
