Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

There are not many roads from Yecheng to Hedong. Go east from Hanoi, follow Zhiguanxing, pass Hengling Pass, and you can reach Han territory.This road is the road for Shantao to throw Han, and now it is also the road for Huan Guang to escape.

Huan Guang led his war horse through the mountain road, which was winding and steep.Huan Guang looked up at the towering mountains, feeling powerless in his hungry heart.

He walked all the way, weeds were overgrown along the way, there were few people, and the mountain road was rugged. He encountered many wild animals and bandits blocked. If he hadn't relied on his fast horse, he would have been unable to escape.But after running for several days, he was still trapped in the mountain road, very hopeless, it must be difficult to get out at this time!

At this time, Huan Guang, who was exhausted physically and mentally, sat paralyzed on the ground, thinking of his father whose life and death were unknown, he couldn't help crying, and said in a sobbing voice: "I'm afraid I won't be able to avenge my father!"

While weeping, Huan Guang raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears, his wet clothes dripping.

But just when Huan Guang was in despair, several people rushed out from the forest, holding bows and crossbows, and asked, "Who are you and why are you here?"

Seeing a living person, Huan Guang felt that he was saved, wiped away the tears from his face, and shouted: "A certain person is a son of the Longkang Huan family in Pei County, and it is also Huan Guang, the servant of Cao Wei Huangmen! Sima Yi caused chaos in the government and killed my biological father. I came here for the sake of the Han camp. I don’t know who the king and others are, and if they can help you find the Han camp, there must be a good reward.”

Several people looked at each other, discussed a few words in private, and the leader replied: "We are the scouts of the Han army. This place is complicated and intertwined, and there are many mountain roads. Please come with me, sir."

After finishing speaking, the remaining soldiers of the Han army stepped forward and handed over Huanguang's horses and weapons, but gave Huanguang food and water bags to satisfy his hunger.

The lost Huan Guang was picked up by scouts of the Han army and quickly sent to Hengling Pass.After Jia Yan, the guard of Hengling Gate, learned the reason for Huan Guang's defection to Han, he realized that the matter was very important, so he ordered someone to escort Huan Guang to Anyi, and wrote a letter to Jiang Wei first.

After Jiang Wei, the governor of Bingzhou, received the letter, he was keenly aware of the internal turmoil in Cao Wei, and immediately sent the people who escorted Huan Guang to Chang'an.

Using the Sushui waterway in Hedong and the Weishui waterway in Guanzhong, Huanguang was sent to Chang'an in less than two days.

And Liu Chan, who was reviewing the memorial, immediately stopped his work, summoned Huan Guang immediately, and announced that the general Wang Ping, the later general Huo Yi, the counselor military servant Liao Li, the censor Zhongcheng Du Shu and other important officials entered the palace for discussion.

Liu Chan received Huan Guang, and knowingly asked, "Why did you return to the great Han? Could it be that the central government of Cao Wei was in turmoil and had to run as a last resort."

Sitting on the couch, Huan Guang replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, Grand Tutor Sima Yi lied to Wei General Cao Shuang by pretending to be ill. Cao Shuang was not on guard. On the sixth day of the first lunar month, he escorted Cao Fang to Gaoping Mausoleum to sacrifice to Cao Rui. At that time Sima Yi staged a mutiny and occupied Ye City..."

As Huan Guang slowly narrated, Liu Chan also probably knew the inside story. It was basically the Gaopingling Incident in history. Sima Yi launched a mutiny to force Cao Shuang to step down, and tricked Cao Shuang into surrendering. Kill the three clans.

Huan Guang's departure was the confession of his father, Huan Fan. If he did not escape, there is a high probability that he would repeat the same mistakes in history. He even wiped out his family members.

Of course, the Huan family also came back with revenge. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Huan Wenhui of the Huan family of Longkang came to power.When Liu Yu became bigger from it, Liu Yu killed the entire Sima family.However, the karma in the world is not good, and Liu Zhun, the monarch of the last year of Liu Song Dynasty, was killed by Xiao Qi.

Liao Li took the opportunity to ask: "May I ask Mr. Huan, is there any general who needs our attention in the current rebellion against Wei?"

Huan Guang saluted Liao Li, and replied: "Back to Liao Jun, listen to my father's words, there are many people who know soldiers in the country, and Wang Ji and Wang Chang may take on important responsibilities. The newly appointed governor of Yuzhou, Wuqiu Jian, is in charge of Liaoyan. Hu people and barbarians dare not offend. He is a hero, my father said that Zhong Yao's youngest son, Zhong Hui, thought that although he is young, he has outstanding talents. If he manages the government, he will be the harm of my big man."

General Wang Ping asked: "Is there any opportunity for Shangdang and Luoyi to take advantage of?"

Huan Guang thought about it for a long time, and replied: "Xia Houba, the general who conquered Shu, and Xia Houxuan, the general who conquered the west, had a rift with Guo Huai, the governor of Sizhou. It should be because of the Battle of Wuyin that Guo Huai took the lead in withdrawing troops, which made Xia Houxuan unhappy. Kunyang Xia Houxuan ordered Guo Huai to return to his army several times, but all of them were unsuccessful until the General gave the order in Yecheng to return to help Kunyang."

"As for the quarrel between Xiahou Basu and Guo Huai, the two had quarrels because of the Northwest War in the old days, and the relationship between the latter two often turned hostile. If Sima Yi were to hold the power of the Wei State, he would call Xiahouba and Xiahouxuan back to the country, so that Guo Huai took the position of General of the West." Huan Guang guessed.

The arrival of Huan Guang allowed the Dahan to have a thorough understanding of the internal relationship between Cao and Wei, and perhaps there are more things worthy of the Dahan's use.

After everyone finished asking Huan Guang, Liu Chan said slowly: "You have made great contributions to bringing this important and confidential matter to Han. I want to appoint you as the captain of the cavalry. However, it is very hard for you to run for several days. You can rest for a few days. On this day, after the great Han has settled down, he will enter the court and serve as an official."

What Huan Fan said was true, with Huan Guang relying on the information in his hands and the reputation of the Long Kang Huan family, after he entered the Han Dynasty, he would be reused or rewarded heavily by the big man.

After all, the name of the Longkang Huan family is not to be underestimated. Its family rose in the early Eastern Han Dynasty. Since Huan Rong studied "Ouyang Shangshu", it has become a famous Confucian family. He, An, and Shun were the teachers of the five emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty.It can be seen from this that the Huan family has a great reputation. Otherwise, how could Huan Fan be the chief farmer in Cao Wei, where the family gathered.

Huan Guang knelt down and kowtowed, and replied gratefully: "I thank Your Majesty, Huan Guang, and I will do my best to serve His Majesty."

After finishing speaking, Huan Guang knew that Liu Chan was going to discuss important matters with the important officials in the palace, so he resigned from the palace on the grounds of rest, and went to his house to settle down with the attendants arranged by Liu Chan.

In the hall, Liu Chan looked around at the people present and said, "What do you think when you listen to Huan Guang's words?"

Fei Yi was the first to speak out, saying: "Your Majesty, Sima Yi has not been in power for a long time, and his foundation is not stable. He can be used by my great man. In my opinion, my great man may lead an army to fight for the country."

"If we raise our troops for conquest now, where should we send them? Shangdang or Luoyang?" Liu Chan asked, "General?"

Wang Ping, who was called by his name, straightened his back and replied: "Your Majesty, I think you can use troops to Luoyang, but Shangdang may not be advisable!"

"Why?"

"Although the soldiers of Bingzhou were severely injured by the former general, it is close to Hebei, and the Chinese army can easily respond. It has veteran Tian Yu sitting in the town, so it is not a good person. Moreover, the terrain of Bingzhou is rugged, and the army marches slowly, which is not conducive to surprise attacks. Today, the Wei court is in opposition. In turmoil, it is necessary to send troops quickly to be profitable, and if they wait for them to mobilize troops and horses, they will miss the opportunity."

Wang Ping stroked his train of thought, and said: "Use troops to Luoyang. Now that Sima Yi is in power, Cao Shuang's old troops will be dismissed. Xia Houxuan and Xia Houba will be transferred back to Yecheng. The army has no commander. This may be the time for us to deploy troops."

Liao Li stroked his beard and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty, Xiahouxuan is the brother of Mrs. Xiahou, and this may be of use to me!"

Liu Chan raised his eyebrows slightly, remembering that in history, after Cao Shuang's death, Xiahouba also persuaded Xiahouxuan to vote for Han, but unfortunately Xiahouxuan didn't agree, only Xiahouba came.Now that Xiahou Hui is in the Han Dynasty, wouldn't it be very likely that Xiahouxuan will come.

Liu Chan nodded and said, "In that case, let's send troops to Luoyang. I will lead the way in this battle..."

As he spoke, the corners of Liu Chan's mouth rose, and he said, "From now on, I don't know how my brother-in-law will choose."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

Liu Chan lowered his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and asked, "How many soldiers can the general have at this time? When will they be available at the earliest?"

Wang Ping pondered for a while, and replied: "His Majesty, there should be [-] soldiers available for Sili. In case of emergency, the order can be issued immediately. The soldiers will gather tomorrow and they can set off the next day."

The benefits of moving the capital to Chang'an have been revealed. Guanzhong has a vast territory, and the central sergeant is stationed among the three assistants. After hearing the military order, they can gather along the Wei River and respond quickly.The army sent troops from Chang'an to the Central Plains, but arrived in a few days.There is no need to worry about the transportation of grain and grass. The latter is the base and the transportation is convenient.

Unlike before in Chengdu, I don't know how much time it will take from receiving the military order to preparing the food and grass for the march.It is basically impossible to fight fast.In particular, Guanzhong is the front line, and the soldiers and horses of the Guanzhong Central Army are always on guard, which is convenient for recruitment.

Liu Chan stood up and said in a deep voice: "The army should value the speed of soldiers, where is Huo Yi?"

"The minister is here!" Huo Yi replied.

"Tomorrow you will lead the troops that can be dispatched in Chang'an City to Luoyang, as the front of the army. The rest of the generals will follow me to lead the army to Luoyang in the future. Don't delay." Liu Chan ordered: "The general will go with me and see if we can Raid Luoyang as soon as possible."

"No!" Everyone responded.

"As for the affairs of the central government, Jiang Qing will handle them, including the supervision of Yushitai. The food and grass in the army will be transferred to Jiang Qing." Liu Chan looked at Jiang Wan and said.

"Your order!" Jiang Wan cupped his hands and said, "May I ask Your Majesty if thirty thousand troops are enough? Do you need to send troops from Longyou and Hanzhong to help the army?"

Liu Chan hesitated for a while, then said: "You can send tens of thousands of troops from Longyou and Hanzhong to help."

"promise!"
