Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 309
Lu Su knew that Liu Bei was taking care of his own face.It has only been four months since I became prime minister, and now I am so ill, Liu Bei is not suitable for another prime minister, so he came up with such a compromise method, which not only takes care of his own face, but also takes into account the handling of court affairs .

Liu Bei nodded when he heard the words. These two candidates are quite suitable, but then he frowned and said: "Yuan Tan is the court captain, Kong Ming is the Sima, one is Jiuqing, and the other is Sangong. If they are the left and right prime ministers , who will take over the original position?"

Lu Su thought for a while, and finally said: "Tingwei is in charge of the criminal law. The Han law was compiled by Zhuge Kongming and Qin Zichi, and he can take over. As for the great Situ," Lu Su paused a little at this point After a pause, he finally said cautiously, "Xu Jing and Xu Wenxiu can take over the position of Chief Situ."

"Zijing's suggestion is very good!" Liu Bei nodded in agreement.Although Situ is a Sangong, he has relatively little real power, so it doesn't matter if Xu Jing is in charge.Seeing that Lu Su looked very tired, Liu Bei didn't want to disturb him any more, but just comforted him with good words, asked him to take supplements, and left immediately.

A few days later, Liu Bei adjusted the personnel according to Lu Su's proposal.After Qin Mi was transferred away and appointed to Xichuan, Zhao Feng was also shocked. It seemed that Lu Su's health was really bad. It was time for him to think of a way to see if he could live a few years longer than in history. .

"Unexpectedly, Qin Zichi is now ranked among the top nine officials!" Zhang Ren said this, with a hint of envy in his words.At the age of less than 30 years old, Qin Mi was able to be listed in the Jiuqing, which has already caused quite a stir in Xichuan.On the contrary, Zhang Ren's appointment as General Zhengxi was very unobtrusive.As a member of the Dongzhou faction, Fazheng has also been an official in Xichuan for many years, but Zhang Ren and the others really have no sense of recognition for him, so they are not at all interested in Fazheng's appointment as Jiuqing.

"Gongyi, you should call me General instead of Prince." Zhao Feng said helplessly.Since he was conferred the throne, these people no longer call themselves generals, but instead call them princes.Since his debut, he has been called a general for more than 20 years.It's really uncomfortable to change his words suddenly, besides, he is still a Hussar general now.

"My lord, you are my lord now, I can't just bark at random!" Zhang Ren said with a chuckle, he was in a good mood and made a rare joke.Hearing these words, Zhao Feng was even more uncomfortable. Looking at Zhang Ren who was smiling like a cramp, Zhao Feng also changed the subject and said, "Now my lord has asked me to wait to eliminate Sima Yi. I don't know what good strategy you guys have?"

"Sima Yi's occupation of Hanzhong is nothing to worry about. Although there is a natural danger at Yangping Pass, if you enter the army from the three eastern counties and avoid this natural danger, you can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!" Zhang Ren said of course.Not only him, Huang Quan and Lu Xun also nodded in agreement.Occupying Hanzhong but not occupying the three eastern counties is like missing front teeth, and it is really not tight enough.And the former three prefectures of Shangyong have been merged into one by Liu Bei, and Xincheng County was established. The prefect is naturally Zhang Xiu.Although Zhang Xiu's ability is not as good as Sima Yi's, he can still stick to the new city, not seeking merit but seeking no fault.If a large-scale army marched from the three eastern counties, then Sima Yi would not have much danger to defend, and his troops were at a disadvantage, so he could only be slowly crushed to death by himself.

"It's just strange. When did this Sima Yi defect to Cao Pi, and he was actually given the title of prince?" Wang Lei said suddenly at this time, not only him, but almost everyone was surprised by this.

"I don't think Cao Pi did it out of good intentions, but he just wanted to use Sima Yi to waste my energy." Zhao Feng pouted.Cao Pi's move was really ruthless, and immediately pushed Sima Yi to the forefront.Just relying on Sima Yi's strength, how much energy can he consume?And what's even more spoof is that Sima Yi was named King of Hanzhong.God, this is Liu Bei's throne in history.Is Sima Yi going to become Liu Bei?As soon as this terrible thought appeared in my mind, it was quickly and automatically deleted.

"Cao Pi should have come up with this idea, but in this way, wouldn't we have an opportunity to take advantage of it?" Lu Xun said suddenly, Zhao Feng frowned slightly when he heard that, and then motioned for Lu Xun to explain more clearly.

"Now that Cao Pi wants to use Sima Yi's hand to consume our army's strength, why don't we take the initiative to lure Cao Pi to attack us, and then take advantage of it?" Lu Xun laughed, and then explained in detail: "We can pretend to be Send troops from the Central Plains and Jingzhou to enter the pass, creating a false appearance of the emptiness of the Central Plains, and then lure Cao Pi's army to go south to fight in the Central Plains, and then let His Majesty lead the army out of the pass to attack Hebei. In this way, once Hebei is pacified, the foundation of the Cao family must be completely severed and pacified. The world is just around the corner!"

"That's right!" Zhao Feng nodded. This proposal is very bold and novel. Although it is only a conceptual framework, it is quite operable.Furthermore, Cao Pi is not Cao Cao after all, and it is indeed relatively easy to deceive him.It's just that I am in Xichuan now, and I have to deal with Sima Yi, so I really have no way to escape.Fortunately, after he conquered Guanzhong, he had made enough meritorious deeds, so he didn't care about giving the credit to anyone else.

At that moment, Zhao Feng wrote a letter to reply Liu Bei, saying that he would send troops to conquer Sima Yi in Hanzhong as soon as the spring began.At the same time, Zhao Feng also brought up Lu Xun's proposal, and it was up to Liu Bei to decide how to decide.With Zhuge Liang and the others here, there should be no need to make suggestions.Moreover, Zhao Feng had a vague feeling that his historical mission was almost completed.At most, that is to clean up Sima Yi again.

In such a somewhat chaotic atmosphere, 213 AD became the past, and the time came to 214 AD.In this year in history, after three years of hard work, Liu Bei won Xichuan and obtained the capital of Pianan.Today, he has ascended to the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and even the unification of the world is just around the corner.But Cao Cao, who was his biggest enemy in the world, has already returned to dust.And Sun Quan, the blue-eyed child who was supposed to divide the world, has been dead for ten years.History is moving forward along a road that no one knows about the future.

After the beginning of spring, Jingzhou Mu, Xiangyang King and General Guan Yu made a statement, claiming that the recruits in the Central Plains had been trained properly and could lead the army northward at any time to wipe out Cao Pi's forces entrenched in Hebei.At the same time, General Ma Chao, General Zhenxi Pang De, and General Pingxi Ma Dai also jointly signed on the list, saying that [-] Xiliang cavalry were on standby at any time and were ready to march into Hebei.Next, Zhang Liao, Li Yan, Wei Yan and other local officials all made petitions to the imperial court to lead the army to the Northern Expedition in order to unify the world.And Zhao Feng from Yizhou notified him directly, saying that he was ready to march into Hanzhong to wipe out the new Hanzhong King Sima Yi and wipe out the roots.

Looking at the active and eager letters of war, Liu Bei knew that the final battle to unify the world was about to come, so he immediately called a group of ministers to discuss matters.Even Prime Minister Lu Su, who was just recovering from a serious illness, forced himself to participate in the court meeting.

"My lords, after entering Guanzhong the year before last, all your lords advised me to suspend the military revolution temporarily on the grounds that Guanzhong was deserted and the people's hearts were not attached, so I never marched into Hebei. Now that the soldiers in the Central Plains are well-drilled, I intend to wipe out Hebei in one fell swoop. Dominate the world, what do you think the unknown ministers?" Looking at the crowd, Liu Bei also asked.

"What Your Majesty said is true. Now that everything is ready, it's time to march!" Prime Minister Lu Su agreed, followed by Chen Qun and Zhuge Liang.Liu Bei nodded, and then said: "What do you think the unknown ministers should do to march?"

"Your Majesty, although Cao Wei's strength is slightly inferior to my big man, they are not far behind. Now Hedong County is separated by the Yellow River, and it will be difficult to attack for a while. Why don't you let the Xiliang Cheqi General march from Liangzhou, take Bingzhou directly, and then Detour to attack Hedong County, and such a large army will enter Hebei to fight the main force of Cao's army, and Hebei will definitely be settled in one fell swoop!" Shaofu Fazheng played first.

Fazheng's proposal seems reasonable at first glance, and the strategy is quite clever.But the discerning people present could see that his proposal was more about gaining performance opportunities for Ma Chao of the Guanlong faction.Unlike in history, although Ma Chao is still holding an important position under Liu Bei's command, he was almost always a soy sauce player in the first two Northern Expeditions. He is far less important than Zhang Fei and other five tiger generals in history. And Wei Yan is also a little worse.If it weren't for the consideration of appeasing the Guanlong scholars and at the same time mastering the most elite iron cavalry unit of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei would not have named him a general of chariots and cavalry.Moreover, what this chariot general can mobilize is only Liangzhou's soldiers and horses.Although according to the custom of the big man, he should command the soldiers and horses of Yongliang and Liangzhou.But unfortunately, the governor of Yongzhou is Taiwei Zhang Fei.No matter how qualified Ma Chao was, he ordered Zhang Fei not to move.

Seeing that the world is about to be peaceful now, if we don’t find some opportunities to show Ma Chao, the day lily will really be cold, so Fazheng proposes to let Ma Chao march into Bingzhou to make his first contribution.Liu Bei nodded when he heard the words, but he was noncommittal.

A wise man is far more than just Fazheng. As soon as he uttered such seemingly reasonable words, some people couldn't sit still.At that moment, Chen Qun remonstrated: "Your Majesty, Cao Pi occupies Hebei with an army of no less than 40. If only [-] Xiliang cavalry are used, how can they enter Hebei. Now that the Central Plains soldiers and horses are ready, we should march from the Central Plains. Fight steadily and wipe out Cao Pi in one fell swoop!"

Chen Qun's words are also very reasonable. Liu Bei's strength is now superior, so it's better to play it safe.Liu Bei was still noncommittal when he heard the words, but looked at Lu Su.For so many years, Lu Su's overall view is what he trusts the most.No matter when, no matter what, he must listen to Lu Su's opinion before making a decision.

But this time, Lu Su didn't speak, but just looked at the young Right Prime Minister Zhuge Liang.The latter sensed Lu Su's gaze, but he was not humble at the moment, and directly stepped forward to remonstrate frankly: "Your Majesty, what Changwen and Xiaozhi said are both reasonable. In my opinion, why not do both? "

"Two-pronged approach?" Liu Bei was stunned when he heard the words, and then motioned Zhuge Liang to explain more clearly.Zhuge Liangliang nodded, then stood up, and spoke with confidence to the huge sand table on the table.
