Ji Han Zhangwu Chapter 1 Difficulties in Traveling
In December of the seventh year of Yanxing in the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the depth of winter, the fields in Guanzhong were dyed white, the willow forests on both sides of the Wei River were covered with frost, and ice and snow were falling from the sky like flying elm pods. Such cold weather can't help but remind people of the sixth year of Yanxing.
It's the depth of winter, but fortunately after February this year, there is no sign of a war within the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan. Therefore, people have temporarily forgotten their sorrow and sorrow. No matter in the countryside or in the city, they are killing dogs and chickens and displaying lanterns and colors.
, laughing and noisy to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.
Of course, this does not mean that there is no war. There are rebels in Bingzhou and Liangzhou, but the most important thing is in the political turmoil in Shu. After the Shu army withdrew, the imperial court strengthened defenses in Chencang, Luo Valley, Xie Valley and other important places.
He also sent people to Hanzhong from time to time to inquire about news from Shuzhong. Recently, it was rumored that Liu Fan, who had returned to his army, had defeated Cai Mao's army and expelled it from Jiangguan. However, the life of Liu Yan, the herdsman of Yizhou, was also declining. I am afraid that it will be reported soon.
It was located in Liu Fan. The central government was afraid that Liu Fan would go north again next year, so he planned to burn down the plank road and reported the matter to Chen Chong.
At this time, Chen Chong was gathering troops in Xiangwu, Longxi. When he went to Longxi in September, the Qiang army in Longshang was huge, with nearly 100,000 people in total. They gathered in Heguan, Linqiang and even Zhangye area, trying to besiege Yuzhong
, but after Chen Chong personally led the army, he joined forces with Ma Chao, Han Ji, Cheng Gongying and other troops, and there were about 50,000 troops.
The Qiang people had long heard of Chen Chong's name, and when they learned that Chen Chong had personally come to quell the rebellion, they were all frightened. Except for the local Shaodang Qiang in Jincheng, the rest of the Qiang dispersed like water, and then Chen rushed into Jun'an.
The barbarians defeated twenty-six disobedient tribes one after another, and captured about 70,000 Qiang people. Around late October, the chaos was basically settled. It was just that there were too many aftermath matters, so Chen Chong was delayed until now. p>
After Chen Chong received Xun You's letter, he immediately wrote back and vetoed it. He also criticized in the letter that it was difficult to mobilize troops in the middle of Shu, and the imperial court stationed troops at the mouth of the valley. They could block the enemy in the road, so why panic? If the plank road is really burned, it will be a disaster.
The court is incompetent, and if there are still loyal people in Shu, they will probably be disappointed in the court.
After the letter was sent, Chen Chong thought to himself that Xun You was a wise strategist and with his intelligence, he would definitely not agree with such a plan. However, he still sent this letter to himself. It was probably because the new year was approaching and there were many things going on in the court, so he used this to
Things were urging him to go back. At this time, heavy snow was falling on Longshang, and the surrounding mountains were connected together. He remembered his promise to Dong Bai again, and said to the students: "The war here is over, and the plum blossoms in Xijing are also over."
It’s almost time to leave, it’s time to go back.”
Before leaving, Chen Chong adjusted the affairs of Liangzhou, first changing Huangfuli to the governor of Liangzhou; then he adjusted the boundaries of the three counties of Beidi, Anding and Wuwei, and demarcated Anding and Wuwei counties twenty miles along both sides of the Yellow River.
It was given to Beidi County; the land north of Fuping in Beidi County was also cut off, and Yinchuan County was newly established. Its boundaries include the south of Shuofang, the west of Shangjun, and the east of Desert, as a resettlement place for 70,000 Qiang captives. As for the prefect of Yinchuan County
, Chen Chong promoted Zhu Jun's son Zhu Hao, and Jia Xu also stayed there as his deputy.
When Chen Chong rode his horse back to Chang'an, it was only seven days before the New Year's Eve. Because most of the army was still staying in Longshang, and the rest of the wounded soldiers had gone down to Longshang to rest and recuperate, so when Chen Chong came back, he was accompanied by no more than a hundred people, so
Unbeknownst to others, waiting in front of the city gate to enter the city was the returning Captain Sili.
While they were shaking their hands and stamping their feet, a deafening sound of bells suddenly came from the city. The sound of the bells was clear and melodious, as if it was washing away the sins deep in the people, and then floated up into the air and disappeared into nothingness. Chen Chong knew that it was the Enlightenment.
The temple bell was ringing, and then there was the sound of Sanskrit-like chanting. It was the believers worshiping together in the temple. What Chen Chong thought of was the small house with flowers planted next to the temple. He turned around and saw the students who were indifferent.
The look on my face, I thought, I am really old.
When he returned to his house, Xun You, Zhong Yao, Chen Qun and others were waiting for him. When they saw him, they said that there was an important matter for him to decide. Chen Chong didn't know why, so he waited for Zhong Yao to hand over a form of form for him to read.
, Chen Chong suddenly realized, and then broke out in a cold sweat. This was actually a letter asking Liu Bei to be crowned king!
The article was written by Zhao Shang, the new doctor Jijijiu. It discussed the many achievements of General Liu Bei since he entered the official career, such as the defeat of the Yellow Turban, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu, Geng Cang, etc.;
He has great wisdom and noble character. Since he came to power, people's hearts have been biased and he has been praised by hundreds of officials. Unless he is rewarded heavily, it is not enough to convince people's hearts.
Of course, the article also mentions that the emperor wanted to reward Liu Bei several times before, but the general declined on the grounds that he was a highly respected minister and could no longer be granted the title. However, at the beginning of this year, the emperor successively granted Liu He the title of King of Qinghe, and Liu Biao the title of King of Qinghe.
The king of Chu and Liu Yan are the kings of Shu. What contribution do these three have? They are not as good as the eleven generals. Therefore, they obey the public and follow the consent. At this time, they should all be crowned kings by the generals to show that the court rewards and punishes in a proper way.
At the end of the essay, Zhao Shang suggested that since the general established his residence in Jinyang, it would be better to make the general the acting king and establish the state in Bingzhou. In this way, the heroes will be inspired and the world will return to its heart. Then he attached it
There are the signatures of all the Five Classics doctors in Taixue, as well as the signatures of Lang Guan, who was previously transferred to Dongguan by Chen Chong.
After reading it, Chen Chong immediately guessed the cause of the matter. I am afraid that after last year's incident, the emperor re-employed people from Zheng Xuan's sect, which made Zhao Shang and others quite uneasy. They were afraid that Chen Chong and Liu Bei would have a grudge, so they wanted to use this article as a testimonial against Bafu.
To show loyalty. However, the intention of this statement is too obvious, which is not a good thing. Daiguo is a feudal state created by Emperor Taizong Xiaowen before he was entrusted with Zuo. There is another character in it. If Liu Bei is really allowed to establish his country and be crowned king, he will surely rule the world.
Criticism.
Chen Chong immediately said to Xun You: "Isn't it nonsense to make such an announcement not long after the country was defeated? Gongda, this kind of thing is just a matter of course, why wait for me to return to Beijing?"
Unexpectedly, Xun You said: "How could I not know? It's just that this form was submitted to the Bafu first. After the Bafu received it, he didn't say a word and then forwarded it to the government."

Xuande actually saw it? Chen Chong was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly like Xun You, nodded to him and said: "It's embarrassing for the public, I will write the reply, and you can go and do your work."
After he was the only one left in the study, he wrote for a long time, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. Logically speaking, if you want to be crowned king, the best time is after you defeat Cao Cao and unify the Central Plains. At that time, you can be crowned with merit.
No one can blame the king. But now, with the two heroes of the east and west standing side by side, and the south having a close friend, once the king is crowned, it will not only give people excuses, but also disappoint the world. If the world thinks that the hegemony has no intention of unifying, the cause of restoring Kyushu will be
It’s even more difficult.
But Chen Chong also knew that Xuande was hit hard after Bohai. He thought that his great cause was too late, but he suffered a disastrous defeat. He must be extremely unwilling in his heart! Now that someone has petitioned the king on his behalf, it is not difficult to imagine what Xuande is feeling.
Overjoyed. Fortunately, he actually knew that it was not appropriate to be crowned king at this time, so he forwarded it to the Sili Mansion and waited tangledly for his reply.
Thinking of this, Chen Chong suddenly felt blessed, so he wrote these two replies to Xuande: "The road is wide and long, but the road is narrow and fast." This was exactly what Liu Bei himself recited in "Jian Zhi" when the two of them first got acquainted.
After hearing the poem, he will surely remember the conversation and feel refreshed!
After replying to Liu Bei, Chen Chong summoned Chen Qun and asked him to arrange his itinerary for the next year. If he wanted to make the doctors no longer afraid, the best arrangement would be to go to Taixue to give lectures. Whether it was discussing classics or talking about history, they must be
It can express your attitude and stabilize people's hearts.
After that, he dealt with some chores, and soon it was dinner time. Chen Chong changed his length and was about to go out, but unexpectedly he turned around and bumped into the princess. The princess was wearing a gorgeous purple double-breasted dress, and she was holding a gold lacquer box in her hand.
Her already thin body looked extremely attractive. Seeing that Chen Chong seemed to be leaving, the princess suddenly looked timid, but she still mustered up the courage to ask: "Dinner has been prepared at home. Where are you going when you go out now?"
What?"
In fact, both of them knew it well.
Chen Chong was about to refuse, but when his eyes met the princess's face, he couldn't say anything. The princess's face was extremely beautiful, and it was obvious at a glance that she was born into a wealthy family. But her expression was indescribably painful.
Her eyes are about to shed tears, but her lips are still forced to smile. This is definitely not the look a princess should show.
Chen Chong recalled the time of this marriage and realized that he had indeed gone too far, so he said: "I was just planning to go to Weiwei's Mansion to have a look. Is it time for dinner? I was so busy just now that I forgot about it if you didn't tell me.
." Then he took off the long fur he had put on and asked her, "Have you ever used it? Where's Ah Zhi Chen Zhang?"
"The adults haven't eaten yet, how could I eat first? Ah Zhi was so hungry that he ate first. He just went to play with his uncle Chen Qun."
"This kid." Chen Chong smiled, sat back and watched the princess take out dinner plates from the food box. They were some soup cakes, winter bamboo shoots, tofu, fish dumplings, and a bowl of yokan. After they were all placed,
He poured another cup of rice wine for Chen Chong, then sat next to Chen Chong and looked at him without saying a word.
Chen Chong was almost sitting on pins and needles. He picked up the bamboo and tasted it for a few times. The princess asked: "Is the taste still suitable?"
Chen Chong replied: "It's okay." The princess then breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If it's okay, I will cook for you every day from now on." Only then did Chen Chong know that these were actually made by the princess herself. He remained silent.
After a long time, I finally just said: "Don't watch, let's eat together."
During the meal, the princess asked again: "How are you going to spend the New Year? I have prepared some gifts, but I don't know who to give them to."
Chen Chong thought for a while and sighed: "At the end of the new year, you ask Chang Wen to come over, and I will call some students to come and eat some together. Then, you can just come with me to worship the ancestors."
When the princess heard this, she smiled, and then asked tentatively: "Will your husband go to the palace the next day to see His Majesty?"
Chen Chong was silent, and the originally harmonious atmosphere became cold again. He finished his meal without saying a word, put the bowl down quickly, and said to the princess: "There is no need to talk about these things. I think you are tired too. Take a rest early."
."
The princess's complexion suddenly turned as pale as paper. She lowered her head and remained silent for a long time. Her thin figure looked extremely lonely under the light.
That night, Chen Chong did not spend the night at his house after all.
