Solving the Qianghu problem in Liangzhou only completed half of the work in Liangzhou. The remaining work cannot be solved by Liangzhou Muma Super.
"Prime Minister, I saw the roster of soldiers in Liangzhou, and I was really filled with emotion." After everyone left, Feng Zhou said to Zhuge Liang.
"Your Majesty is sighing, but there are so few people in Liangzhou that there is not even one out of ten?" Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
Feng Zhou glanced at Zhuge Liang and saw that he had a calm and contented expression, with no trace of fatigue in his expression or eyes. He nodded with satisfaction.
Although Zhuge Liang is busy, he is now in good spirits and body.
Because although he has many affairs, he is only busy with specific military and political affairs.
In fact, although the emperor delegated power to a high degree and trusted him very much, Zhuge Liang did not seem to be faltering or trembling.
Not to mention the mentality of working hard and sleeping hard, and having to personally review any fine of more than 20.
Perhaps it was because the pressure to revive the Han Dynasty no longer rested solely on his shoulders.
Although Feng Zhou did not call Zhuge Liang "Xiangfu", he respected the Han Dynasty Prime Minister from the bottom of his heart. Every time he talked with him, he would think of him when he was a "red capitalist" in Xiangjiang and came to the mainland and that dedicated saint.
Same.
Seeing that Zhuge Liang understood what he meant, Feng Zhou nodded and said: "Since the rise of Guangwu, the imperial court has fought wars with the Qiang people in Liangzhou for more than a hundred years. Emperors Heng and Ling, as well as during the Jian'an period, Liangzhou
There was even more chaos and massive population loss. Today, the entire population of Liangzhou is only over 200,000.
Moreover, these populations are mainly concentrated in Jincheng, Xiping, Wuwei and other places, while in Dunhuang, Jiuquan and other places in the west, a county has only a population of 20,000 to 30,000. It is not as large as the Qiang and Hu people. If things go on like this, the barbarians will occupy the poor land.
To coerce the Han people and lead to the situation of Tai'a's overthrow?"
"Fortunately, your majesty has temporarily suppressed the Qiang and Hu's rebellious spirit with the fetters policy. As long as we make good use of talents and give them time to settle down, we will be able to manage Liangzhou well." Zhuge Liang shook his goose feather fan and smiled.
"What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true. The only way to govern a country is to govern the officials. As long as we use talents well, give time, and calm down the situation, the situation in Liangzhou will definitely be greatly improved. It's just a pity for Xu Miao," Feng Zhou sighed softly.
Zhuge Liang said nothing, just nodded slightly, but his heart was slightly shocked.
Your Majesty is young, but he has taught you the principles of governing the country. As a king, if you want to govern a country well, you must be able to select talents, promote talents, demote talents and put them in appropriate positions. As long as people give full play to their talents, the cause will surely prosper and the country will be in good hands.
However, it was a pity for Xu Miao. He was a talented assistant to the king. He followed Cao Cao in his early years and rose from the rank of junior official step by step. After Cao Pi came to the throne, he successively served as the Prime Minister of Qiao, the Prefect of Pingyang, the Prefect of Anping, and the Diannong Zhonglang General of Yingchuan.
Wherever he went, he left a good reputation and was awarded the title of Marquis of Guannei. Later, he was transferred to the rank of General and Advisor of the Fu Army.
Less than half a year after he took office as the governor of Liangzhou, he began to implement various policies to benefit the people, and he had already left a very good reputation among the people of Liangzhou. Unfortunately, he was a die-hard member of Cao Wei's party and could not surrender to Ji Han, so he was overthrown by Ma Chao.
Killed.
If he does not die and governs according to his policies for two weeks, Liangzhou will definitely be in great trouble.
But since he is dead now, there is no point in talking more.
Feng Zhou smiled and asked, "The Prime Minister looks relaxed. He must have someone in mind to govern Liangzhou, right?"
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhuge Liang shook his goose feather fan and said, "I have three candidates. Please make your decision."
After Feng Zhou nodded, Zhuge Liang said slowly: "The first candidate is Ma Zhong, the superintendent of the sect. His real name is Hu Du and his courtesy name is Dexin. He is from Langzhong, Brazil and is a talented person in the world."
"The second candidate is Liao Li, named Gongyuan. He is a talented person from Jingchu and has great plans."
"The third candidate, Liu Yong, whose courtesy name is Nanhe, is from Yiyang County, Jingzhou, and has the same name as Liao Li."
Feng Zhou nodded and said: "I know Ma Hudu. Ma Zhong is tolerant and tolerant. He is never angry, but he can make prompt decisions when dealing with things and balance kindness and power. If he can be appointed as the governor of Liangzhou, he will be supported by the people. Qiang
Hu Aidai. As for the other two, the Prime Minister's arrangement is that I won't ask."
So he sent an order to Jinguan City and worshiped Ma Zhong as the governor of Liangzhou, with full authority to handle the government affairs of Liangzhou, assist the shepherds of Liangzhou, and general Ma Chao to govern Liangzhou.
As for the five counties in Longxi, because of their important status, Feng Zhou discussed with Zhuge Liang and arranged five other good ministers to serve as county governors, responsible for managing and digesting these five counties. Feng Zhou discussed with Zhuge Liang to march eastward to Chang'an and completely occupy Hanzhong.
In the first year of Jianxing of Ji Han Dynasty, in the fifth year of Cao Wei and Huang Chu, it is July.
Feng Zhou and Zhuge Liang boarded the ship together and led an army of 70,000 people to march eastward. Three days later, they arrived at the outskirts of Chang'an and set up camp.
Wei Yan, the general of Zhenbei, was sent to lead an army of 30,000 people to march eastward along the land route to the county, where he joined forces with Zhao Yun inside and outside to attack Hao Zhao.
Although Hao Zhao knew he was defeated, he still fought to the end and committed suicide. Wei Yan then joined Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi's army and left the Xie Valley together to go to Chang'an to join the army.
At this time, in addition to Ma Chao who stayed behind in Liangzhou and Longyou, Ji Han's Northern Expedition army had already arrived outside Chang'an City. After thirty years, the Han Emperor's banner chariot appeared again in Guanzhong and outside the old capital Chang'an City.
For a time, Guanzhong was in shock and Chang'an was in shock.
You must know that Chang'an has three assistants, namely Jingzhao, Fengyi on the left, and Fufeng on the right. With Zhuge Liang's military talent, he had already made arrangements. Not only did he dispatch Gao Xiang, Chen Shi, and other troops to occupy Feng Yi and Fufeng, but he also dispatched Wang Ping
He led ten thousand Wudang flying troops to seize Tongguan and closed the east gate of Guanzhong.
By this time, even if there were still 100,000 Wei troops in Chang'an City, they were already a piece of cake.
But as a general, Cao Zhen would not sit still and wait for death.
Instead of spreading his troops around, he directly gathered the army into Chang'an City and let all other cities return to Ji Han, ignoring them all.
Because he knew that Zhuge Liang was very good at mobilizing the enemy's troops. If he arranged troops and horses to defend the city, he would be confused and the troops would be exhausted.
We can only withdraw our fists, concentrate a little, use the strong defense of Chang'an City, and use a hundred thousand troops to inflict substantial damage on Ji Han's army, gain time for Cao Wei's main force to advance westward, and create a wonderful "middle flower"!
After all, Cao Zhen had been running Yongliang for many years and had already stored enough food reserves in Chang'an city to support 100,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of people for three years.
He, General Cao Zhen and Cao Zidan of Cao Wei, wanted to use the flesh and blood mill of Chang'an City to polish off all the blood of Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang.
In the past two months, Cao Zhen had deployed a tight defense in Chang'an City. He had carefully studied the Han army's tactics to attack the upper city, and he was confident that even if the opponent used trebuchets to hit things that could spontaneously ignite, it would be of no avail.
The Han army arrived outside Chang'an City and set up camp. Feng Zhou and Zhuge Liang, together with generals Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Jiang Wei, Wu Tong, Zhang Wen, and more than thirty cavalry troops, came out to inspect the defense of Chang'an City.
Because the terrain outside Chang'an City is flat, Zhuge Liang's appearance this time is much more upscale compared to the city defense observation meeting in the upper city.
He was sitting comfortably in a four-wheeled cart, with four or five elite soldiers of the Han army pushing him beside him. He was wearing a feather fan and silk scarf, talking and laughing happily. He was really as airy as an immortal. Not only was he outcompeted Wei Yan and other generals, but Feng Zhou was riding a tall horse with palms behind him.
The flag officer holding the dragon flag high was not as impressive as him.
There is no way, he is so outstanding mainly because of his temperament.
When everyone came to the city, they stopped moving two arrows away. They just walked around the city and watched the city defense carefully.
"General, Liu Chan, Lord of Shu, and Zhuge Liang, Prime Minister of Shu, have come down to the city." In the general's mansion, a messenger reported to Cao Zhen.
"Oh, isn't he setting up camp? The troops are approaching the city so quickly? He is very impatient." Cao Zhen said with a faint smile. There was no trace of anxiety on his face, showing the style of a Confucian general.
"Reporting to the general, the Lord of Shu, Liu Chan, and the Prime Minister of Shu, Zhuge Liang, have brought more than thirty people in total. They are calling the city two arrows below the city. They want the general to reply."
"Humph! The old trick of going to the city again!" Cao Zhen snorted coldly and said, "But since he is already here, I can't back down, so I naturally want to meet him."
"What the general said is absolutely true." An old man in his 70s or 80s stood up. He was Situ of the Great Wei Dynasty, and Wang Lang was left behind in Chang'an.
He stroked his beard and said confidently: "I heard that Liu Adou, the Lord of Shu, was brave but not good at governing the country. Therefore, he relied on Zhuge Kongming for all military and state affairs. I am willing to go to the city with the general. I only need a few words to teach Liu.
Adou was embarrassed, Zhuge Liang surrendered, and the Shu army collapsed without a fight."
Cao Zhen was overjoyed and said: "Wang Situ is usually the most eloquent. Even if Liu Adou cannot be embarrassed and Zhuge Liang surrenders, and scolds them a few words to make him return in defeat, it will also boost the morale of our army."
