The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 150 War and Peace

Chapter 150 War and Peace ([-])
In an official-based society, holding meetings is a science.

Some meetings require everyone to sit together—although most of them are in the background.Such meetings generally do not involve core interests.And once core interests are involved, it must be a closed-door meeting within a very small range.

For example, now, in a secret room in the north tower of Yang'an Pass, Liu Chen, Jiang Wei, Guan Yi, and Huo Yi are sitting together, discussing two key issues after the Great War.Whether to take advantage of the good opportunity of this great victory to march into Yongliang and the power distribution of the Shu Han after the end of this war.

Whether to enter Yongliang has not been discussed for too long.This matter is very clear: the Shu Han was seriously injured in this war, not to mention the emptiness of the treasury, and most of the wealth accumulated by the Fuxingshe for seven years was consumed.The capture of more than [-] people has caused Shu Han indigestion.The attitude of Soochow, the stability of Nanzhong, the accountability of Yizhou aristocratic families, etc. There are a lot of domestic problems.

Even if these are not problems, if you really lead the exhausted Han army into Yongliang at this time.Well, maybe it can take advantage for a while.But as long as Cao Wei drives the eastern troops into the Guanzhong Plain, the current total of 6 or [-] troops of the Shu Han is not enough...

Therefore, take this opportunity to launch the option of the Northern Expedition immediately.It doesn't actually exist.There is no need for controversy.

However, the next topic is about the redistribution of power after the war.Then it is not easy to reach a consensus.

The four of them sat together for a long time, but everyone tried to be more patient, because in this situation, the one who speaks first must suffer.

Finally, Liu Chen, the young king of the Northland, spoke first: "The three generals are the pillars of the country, and Xiao Wang dared to confide his heart here. Xiao Wang thought that after this war, our great Han society would be safe. But today I really can’t go on like this anymore. Dahan must cheer up in the future. Changes must be made!”

Hehe, my king of the Northland, after this battle, your mind has changed a bit.

Yes, if Liu Chen, the king of the North, was just a pure and passionate prince, he might have aspirations for the position of crown prince, but he never had extravagant hopes.Well now, especially after falling out with all his relatives in the main hall, and now fighting a few battles with the revival army, he has no sense of the position of the crown prince at all—he wants to take the position directly!
However, the problem now is: After this battle, the prestige of the central government of Shu Han has been completely discredited, while the status of the generals in charge of the army has begun to rise rapidly.After Yan Yu's death, there are now only three army leaders left in Shu Han.If Liu Chen wants to be in power, he must get the support of these three army leaders.

With the Yong'an Corps basically wiped out, Huo Yi was the weakest among the three armies.So he had no choice but to speak after Liu Chen's speech: "I'm getting old, and I still want to go back to Nanzhong. It's best to die in office."

It should be said that among the leaders of the three major armies, the one who has the deepest affection for Liu Chan is this Huo Yi.After all, we have played together since childhood.However, Liu Chan's performance this time really disappointed Huo Yi - it's fine if you surrendered when we didn't come in, but how dare you not dare to persuade you to conscript yourself when we came in?This is your country!

But no matter how disappointed, as Liu Chan's playmate, he was unwilling to force Liu Chan.Therefore, he made it clear: You can do whatever you want, I will not participate!
"Hehe, Shaoxian is only 61 this year, two years younger than Jiang Wei. But Jiang Wei doesn't feel old yet."

In this room, General Jiang Wei ranks second in official rank and first in military rank.Before Guan Yi's rise, the mobile corps in his hands was also the most powerful corps of the Shu Han.But compared with Guan Yi, first, he has no money.Second, although he has led the soldiers of the mobile corps for more than ten years, his absolute obedience to the commander is not as good as that of the revival army.Therefore, after Huo Yi made his statement, he could only follow suit.

Speaking of it, Jiang Wei was the most disappointed with Liu Chan: For whom did I persist in the Northern Expedition for more than ten years?Yes, I admit that there is a selfish desire to consolidate my own position through the Northern Expedition.But the most fundamental thing is for this country!Without the Northern Expedition, this country would degenerate into another Liu Zhang sooner or later—no, worse than Liu Zhang.Because after decades of accumulation, the aristocratic family in Yizhou is much stronger than Liu Zhang’s era. If there is no Northern Expedition, this country will become another Soochow Wu—then the emperor’s control over the whole country will be extremely strong. Weakened and became the leader of a group of aristocratic families.

But how did you Liu Chan treat me?I beat life and death in the front, and you gave up on me when someone stabbed me in the back?This is betrayal!It is a shameful betrayal!

Also, when I resisted Zhong Hui in Jiange, you actually wanted to surrender? !This is really "the ministers are about to fight to the death, why did your majesty surrender early?"

However, although he has so much resentment towards Liu Chan, Jiang Wei still has a bottom line that he will not break through: be a Hanchen!It doesn't matter who the emperor is, but this country must be a big man.After all, if he didn't have this belief, he would have surrendered to Cao Wei a long time ago-as long as he is willing to surrender, great prosperity and wealth are certain!

So the meaning of Jiang Wei's words is: "I don't think I am old, and I don't want to quit the stage. But I want to continue the Northern Expedition, King of the Northern Lands, can you firmly support my Northern Expedition after you take office?"

"The Prime Minister once said when he was alive in the past, if you don't kill thieves, Wang Ye will also die. If you just sit and wait for death, which one should you kill? In Chengdu last November, Xiao Wang also said when he was in despair, he would rather Father and son died in battle, and they must not surrender. Therefore, Xiao Wang believes that the Northern Expedition must be persisted!"

Although Liu Chen was just an idle prince before, he was someone who had been in the political circle for more than 20 years.So he understood Jiang Wei's words, and he also made it clear: General, I absolutely support the Northern Expedition.

Then, next, it's up to Guan Yi.The current strength of the head of the Fuxing Society has attracted everyone's attention.He is not short of money or food, and as for the handle of the knife, he has an army willing to follow him in the civil war—something Jiang Wei can't do.

Of course, Guan Yi never thought of replacing the Liu family emperor.As a time traveler, he really doesn't have the idea of ​​a monarch and his subjects, and the righteousness of the monarch and his subjects cannot limit him.The reason why he doesn't want to be emperor is entirely because he has thousands of years more experience than others: what good is it for me to usurp the throne?If I usurp someone else's position today, won't others be able to usurp the position of my descendants tomorrow?Take a look at the Cao family, this is the present report.As for the descendants of the Sima family, if there is no time traveler like me to change history, it would be a terrible sight on the basis of history.

Therefore, it is better for the emperor to have the surname Liu.As for which superior surnamed Liu, this has to be discussed carefully.

"Hey, why are you all looking at me? Everyone should know that I am the leader of sending troops without purpose. I was busy fighting the war a few days ago and didn't think of this. Now that the battle is over, I returned to Chengdu. It's Yi San Is it still possible to say whether it is the Zhujiu clan or the Zhujiu clan?"

This is hypocrisy. At this time, you are a hero who saved the country. Who would dare to do anything to you?
But the three people present were not fools, and they all knew that Guan Yi was forcing them to express their views again.

"Whoever dares to say that General Zuo sent troops without purpose is a spy of the puppet Wei. Xiao Wang will definitely not let him go!"

"If Zifeng hadn't sent troops, the country would have perished today. Who dares to entangle in this matter again, Jiang Wei must thoroughly investigate this person's footsteps."

"If there is no Zifeng, the old man will still be a second minister in this life. So this matter is done well and done right!"

Ah, very good.So……

"Since the 16th year of Yanxi, the central government has been weak, and the local government has gradually lost its restraint. The officials of the imperial court have become increasingly depraved, and the tyrants and bullies have encroached on the good people... Therefore, I have a sense of powerlessness in the Northern Expedition of the Han Dynasty."

What Guan Yi meant by this was: since Fei Yi was assassinated.The central government of Shuhan began to mess up (in fact, it means that Liu Chan did not do a good job in the country after he came to power).Because of the weakening of the country's strength, the support for the Northern Expedition was weak. Originally, the Shu Han's national strength was not as good as that of Cao Wei, and it could not effectively support the Northern Expedition.

His original intention was this, but there is another meaning behind his words: since the founding of the country, the Shu Han has always been under the responsibility of the prime minister.Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, and Fei Yi successively assisted in the government. When the emperor has no real power, the country is actually quite good.Why don't we restore the previous system?

With this level of meaning, Guan Yi's original intention is very clear: I, Guan Yi, will become the fourth official of the Shu Han after Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, and Fei Yi.The military and government grabbed it!Of course, I support the Northern Expedition.However, I will lead the Northern Expedition of the Shu Han in the future!
The three people in the room understood this request, but they were all a little unhappy.

Relatively speaking, Liu Chen has the least dislike: Although Guan Yi has already strongly asked the emperor to stand aside, he is not even the prince now.Who can tell what will happen next?
As for Huo Yi, he has been used to Liu Chan being a rubber stamp since he was very young.For decades, I don't think there is anything wrong with this model.But the 31-year-old powerful minister... was fine when Liu Chan was around.If Liu Chan dies, can the new emperor come up and suppress him?

Jiang Wei was the most unhappy of the three: What do you mean the Northern Expedition was powerless after Fei Yi's death?Were my nine Northern Expeditions that unbearable?What does it mean that you will lead the Northern Expedition in the future?Where is my place then?

Seeing the three people remain silent, Guan Yi smiled slightly: "In Yi's view, I am a big man who is indeed a little less bloody than in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Therefore, it is best for the prince to be younger and have more courage."

Liu Chen children's shoes, you can't directly take the position with such a strong character.When you are in a position, you will instinctively want to control everything.But no matter how good you are, you are still inferior to me, a traveler with more than 2000 years of experience.So, in order for the two of us not to directly conflict, let it be your intention of being directly superior.However, I support you to be the prince first.

Mr. Huo Yi, I understand what you are worried about.If I were greedy for power and position, I would never let the king of the Northland with such a strong character become the prince——the current prince Liu Zhen is much more obedient than Liu Chen's children's shoes.What I do is actually very simple. When Mr. Liu Chan is still alive, I will be a powerful minister.I will return the power to the new emperor in the future.

As for Jiang Wei...

"General, our great Han suffered from this disaster, and our national strength was severely damaged. Yi believes that we should rest for three to five years before proceeding to the Northern Expedition. For the next Northern Expedition, Yi believes that if everything goes well, we should be able to gather more than [-] elite troops to fight in Longxi and Hebei Province. Guanzhong launched an attack at the same time."

General, don't you know my ability to make money?After I come to preside over the government of the Shuhan Dynasty, in three to five years, there will be a lot of soldiers with money and food.When the time comes, you go to Longxi, I go to Guanzhong, let's go to the Northern Expedition together!

After a long time, Liu Chen, king of the Northland, said, "General Zuo has done a great job in saving the country from peril. The opening of the government is not enough to reward him for his merit."

"Minister Huo Yi seconded the proposal."

"Minister Jiang Wei seconded the proposal."
