"My husband is making plans and winning the battle thousands of miles away. I am not as good as the ovary."
This is Liu Bang's evaluation of Liu Hou Zhang Liang, and it is also the highest evaluation of the planners by the world.
Today, in the Zhang Mansion, Zheng Pu, who is not even a young man, dares to ask himself to prepare the theory of Nanzhong. This is really a heroic statement!
The three people present at the table felt as if they were in a trance!
Especially Ma Su, I have a lot of feelings.
When he was at this age, he was always so high-spirited and heroic. Later, he followed his late lord Liu Bei to Shu and served in various counties and counties. As he grew older, although he was said to be pragmatic, his determination was no longer there.
This boy has my old style!
After sighing secretly, Ma Su sat down solemnly and solemnly extended his hand to say, "Zijin just wants to say something, I am all ears!"
He showed off, and Zhang Biao and Liu Yin did not dare to make any mistakes.
Find a seat by yourself and listen with solemn breath.
"promise!"
Zheng Pu promised loudly and saluted again, "Pu has never traveled to Bashu, but he also knows about the five counties in Nanzhong. In the 22nd year of Jian'an, when the late emperor sent troops to Hanzhong, the Yue Yi King Gaoding rebelled and raised his troops to attack Xindao.
At that time, Li Zhong, the governor of the county, appointed Qianwei as the prefect, Xingye general, and sent troops to defeat it. At that time, Xian Kao was still alive, so he used this to assert that Nanzhong would be in trouble again in the future. He also explained the various forces in Nanzhong in Pu
.Although times have changed, things have remained roughly the same. Puxi said, if there is anything wrong, please join the army and give me some advice, and I will not hesitate to correct it!"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Ma Su's reply, he started talking like a river and kept talking.
There are five counties in Nanzhong, namely Zhuti County, Yuexi County, Yizhou County, Zangke County and Yongchang County.
Among them, Zhuti County was formerly a vassal state of Qianwei. It was small and had few people. It was directly under the jurisdiction of the governor of Xijiang. It was also one of the main roads (Wuchi Road) from central Sichuan into Nanzhong. It was very easy to appease the garrison, but difficult to defend.
A local force was born. And this rebellion was not coerced and can be ignored.
For the remaining four counties, the shadows of the four southern and central forces can be seen from the backgrounds of their respective leaders [Note 1].
First is the most representative Yi Wang Couture.
He is a senior leader of the Yi people, and he is also a representative of the tribes that were squeezed out of their living space by successive dynasties and forced to migrate south of the Qingyi River. After these tribes merged with the native people, they formed the elder clan system and did not accept the king's rule.
Let Yuexi County evolve into the most difficult to govern and the most unstable place in Nanzhong.
Secondly, there is Yong Kai from Yizhou County.
From the fifth year of Yuanguang (130 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent soldiers from Ba and Shu counties to open up the southwest and established Jianwei County. Either the garrison soldiers disarmed and returned to their fields locally, or the prisoners were exiled to guard the border, or the old and new emperors alternated.
Due to reasons such as bureaucrats who lost power and were relocated as a whole, the Han people never stopped migrating to the southwest.
Over the past three hundred years, these Han people who thrived in various counties in Nanzhong (mainly living in Yizhou County) gradually formed eight powerful surnames: "Jiao, Yong, Lou, Cuan, Meng, Liang, Mao and Li".
For example, Li Hui, the governor of Najiang, his uncle Cuan Xi, and Yong Kai all came from common surnames.
The eight wealthy families have always been connected by the same spirit, and their in-law relationships are deeply intertwined.
At that time, both the imperial court and the common people called them "Southerners", analyzing them from the Yi people in southern China and using them to distinguish them from other Han people.
Perhaps it was because of the current situation that the world was divided into three parts and the former lord Liu Bei died. The eight powerful families had different opinions and disagreements emerged. Li Hui served as the governor of the subjugation and commanded the counties in the south, while Yong Kai united with some powerful families to kill the prefect and raise troops.
Rebellion, with the intention of realizing the separatist rule of Nanzhong by the Southerners.
Thirdly, it was Zhu Bao from Xianxian County.
The predecessor of Xangqi County was the Yelang Kingdom. It has mountains, high and steep terrain, and very scarce cultivated land. It is difficult for local tribes to gather together and unite to become a force. Zhu Bao is the county governor appointed by the imperial court (Yishuo Fu Cheng), relying on his authority to provide charity
Enwei, he gathered various tribes for his own use, and gradually became arrogant and domineering. Moreover, Xianggao County bordered Jingzhou and Jiaozhou. If he refused to obey the Shu Han court, he had no way to retreat. Zhu Bao simply raised his troops to rebel and formed a separatist regime.
Finally, there is Yongchang County.
Yongchang County is the hometown of the ancient Ailao Kingdom, and few Han people migrated or were exiled here.
The common people in the county are integrated into one body, the climate is warm and humid, and the production of grain, melons and fruits is extremely abundant, so the population is very large [Note 2].
There is also the "Ancient Tea Horse Road" trade route within the territory, so it has always worked hard to maintain relations with the people in power in Yizhou, and has always submitted to the Shu Han regime in order to obtain huge benefits from trade along the trade routes.
This force, as long as the Shu Han court does not impose excessive taxes on them, does not violate their interests, and maintains the smooth flow of trade on the "Ancient Tea Horse Road", they can surrender peacefully without garrisoning, leaving the court without worries.
After talking for a while, my mouth felt dry.
Zheng Pu picked up the wine cup to moisten his throat, and bowed his hand to Ma Su before continuing, "Joining the army, this is what Xian Kao explained to me about the situation in Nanzhong and the distribution of forces. Is there any mistake?"
However, Ma Su did not reply. Instead, he sat upright and stroked his beard, with his eyebrows half-closed and his eyes half-closed, seemingly lost in thought.
Coincidentally, Zhang Biao and Liu Yin on the other side were also the same.
Zheng Pu was speechless. After waiting for a while, he couldn't help but ask again, "Ma join the army?"
"Boom!"
“Excellent!”
Ma Su, who had regained his composure, was praised for his efforts in solving the case again.
Zheng Pu, who was watching, felt that his palms ached slightly.
But Ma Su seemed unaware and still spoke out with pride, "My late father, Zi Jin, is truly an extraordinary talent! He has lived in the countryside and lived in seclusion for many years, but he still knows all the counties in Nanzhong like the back of his hand, and he knows everything about them!"
"
Immediately, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, and sighed with a sense of loss, "Oh, it was a waste of my several years of serving as the governor of Yuexi County. My understanding of the counties in Nanzhong is not even half as good as that of my late father Zijin! I am really ashamed!"
"Pu Dai took the exam first and thanked him for joining the army."
When his late father was praised, Zheng Pu immediately left the table and paid homage. After paying tribute, he said with relief, "Actually, this analysis is because my Zheng family has lived in Sichuan for a long time. I first studied Suxi's planning method and paid more attention to it, so I can
You know! Why do you have to be so humble when you join the army?"
However, Ma Su did not appreciate it.
Hearing this, he glanced at Zheng Pu with a frown, his eyes showing shame and annoyance.
Otherwise, Zheng Pu's relief has some popular forms.
Zhang Biao and Liu Yin also lived in Shuzhong for a long time, so why didn't they know so much about Nanzhong?
It’s better not to feel relieved!
However, he would not argue with the young man about his sophistication.
After glancing at Zheng Pu, he went back to thinking deeply. After a long while, he asked again, "Zijin, since you are familiar with the situation in Nanzhong, you must have unique ideas on how to fight against the rebellion in Nanzhong. I don't know what to do."
painting?"
"Don't dare."
Zheng Pu humbly avoided saying anything, "Pu used to think about things in his spare time, but now he is not ashamed to talk about it. He also asked Ma to join the army for details."
