The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 212 A Feast for Crows ([-])
"Your Majesty! I have a way to solve your majesty's urgent needs!"

Standing up to speak at this time, of course it is Qianliju Yang Jue of Hongnong Yang's generation.

"Oh, Wen Ju, is there any good way?" Well, fortunately, there are still useful people on my father-in-law's side.

"Your Majesty, after I replaced Wei in the Great Jin Dynasty, all the kingdoms and vassal states that were enfeoffed by the former Wei State were abolished. Of course, there is no need to say about this kingdom. Cao Cao has already concentrated in Yecheng for a long time. But these vassal states, just There are some problems. Especially the children of Zhang Juanyi, Le Wenqian, Zhang Wenyuan, Xu Gongming and others in the past were all revoked from the state. These people, martial arts heirs, lost their state suddenly, and they must be dissatisfied with my Dajin. And These people live in various places, and most of them live in the border areas. If they are doing harm to each other, it’s fine, and they are afraid of colluding with other races... But now, didn’t Wei Boyu say that there was a severe drought in the northern grasslands? If these legends of martial arts People from the family unite with the aliens who are eager to go south..."

"Well, so what Wen Ju meant?"

"What I mean is, why don't you gather all these people and give them vacancies and a little money. Let them form a coalition army and go south to support the King of Runan. It would be best if all these people died in Xiling. If they really get credit , Your Majesty does not need to be stingy with the reward of being a Marquis..."

"Wonderful. These people have enjoyed the state's rich salary for decades, and I don't know how much wealth they have accumulated. If they rebelled because of dissatisfaction, it would be a real headache. Why don't they lead their private soldiers to the front line in Jingzhou. In this way, the court does not need to spend a lot of food, and these hidden dangers can be pulled out. Kindness, just follow Wen Ju's will!"

……

The meeting ended, and some distance away from the conference hall, Pei Xiu stopped Jia Chong in a corner: "Gonglu, why did you step on my heels just now?"

"Hehe, what do you want to say after Yang Wenju put forward the idea of ​​summoning the descendants of Cao Wei's heroes to go south to Xiling?"

"What did you say?! Of course I objected! Yang Wenju is indeed more capable than Yang Wenchang, but he is still too young! He didn't think about it. Originally, when I was in Jin Dynasty and replaced Wei, the bosses of these families who were supported by Wei Guoen would be unhappy. What's more, they have been removed from the feudal state now. In the past, these guys were scattered all over the country and were monitored by local magistrates, so there is nothing to do if they are dissatisfied. Hooking up with other races? Pooh! Yang Wenju underestimated Emperor Wei Wu too The integrity of these generals! But now we actually took the initiative to let them get together! This, isn’t it just making fun of ourselves!”

"Hehe, Ji Yan, so what?"

"what do you mean?"

"Your Majesty is still too young, and he didn't have any special friendship with us in the early years. Therefore, it is completely understandable for His Majesty to trust the Queen's family at this time. Then, here comes the question, Ji Yan, are you willing to quit the court and go home to die old Is it?"

"...I understand. However, if there is trouble, the country will be damaged. Hey, I won't tell you about being loyal to Dajin, but our family is really tied to Dajin. Together."

"Huh, because of this, we must have enough influence on His Majesty's decision-making. Otherwise, sooner or later, His Majesty will toss this great Jin into a mess! This time, the old generals of the Cao family will gather together, and I, Jia Chong, will not stop it." , but it will give them some help. As long as they make the trouble a little bigger, His Majesty will know the value of us old people in the General's Mansion. Hey, I'm afraid, these old generals of the Cao family have been rice bugs for decades, It's completely useless!"

"Well, I'm a little confident. You see, the third generation of Yuancong, the founder of Xishu, is also very capable now."

"Haha, that's true."

"But Gonglu, I want to remind you that it is enough to do things to a certain extent. Don't really shake the foundation of the country."

"Well, please rest assured Ji Yan about this matter. Jia Chong has a sense of proportion."

……

In September of AD 266, because of Yang Yao's suggestion, the descendants of the former generals of Cao Wei gathered together from all over the world.

If Zhang He, Zhang Liao, Lejin, and Xu Huang are all considered to be of the same generation, then there are two people with the highest seniority in this group of aristocratic families.

No.1, Zhang Xiong, son of former Cao Wei Chariot General and son of Zhuang Hou Zhang He.

Zhang Xi is the longest surviving person among the five good generals of Cao Wei.So his fief is also the largest.After defeating Ma Di in Jieting, Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui expanded his fiefdom to 2 households.Based on the calculation of four or five people per household at that time, there were more than [-] ordinary farmers in the Zhang family's fiefdom.

In 231 AD, Zhang He died in battle in Mumen Valley.In addition to letting his eldest son Zhang Xiong inherit the title of Marquis of Mao, Emperor Wei Ming also granted Zhang Yun's remaining four adult sons Liehou and Zhang Yun's youngest son Guanneihou.

Therefore, the economic strength of the Zhang family is actually quite strong.Although it was abolished due to the Marquis Houguo, the number of peasant households actually controlled by the Zhang family has already reached [-].Therefore, this time, Zhang Xiong and his brothers brought a thousand private soldiers to the south of Xiling.

The next one, of course, is Zhang Hu, the former general of Cao Wei and the son of Ganghou Zhang Liao.

Unlike Zhang Xiong who did not make a name for himself in the Cao Wei regime after Zhang Yun's death, Zhang Hu was also active in Cao Wei's political arena for a long time after Zhang Liao's death.But after the Sima family took power, Zhang Hu also quickly faded out.

Zhang Liao was from Bingzhou, so his Hou State was in Jinyang.And Bingzhou was originally a place rich in soldiers, so this time Zhang Hu and his son Zhang Tong also brought a thousand private soldiers to Xiling.

The next two people are Le Zhao, grandson of Weihou Lejin, and Xu Ba, grandson of Zhuanghou Xu Huang.

Le Jin's son was called Le Wei. Back then Sima Zhao clearly knew that Zhuge Dan was about to rebel, so he sent Le Jin to Shouchun to be the governor of Yangzhou.Zhuge Dan raised the flag, but Le Wei refused to follow, and was beheaded by Zhuge Dan.Le Zhao inherited the title of Le Wei.It's a pity that in the Wei, Jin and Zen Dynasties, there was nothing left.

Xu Huang's son, Xu Gai, died early.After his death, Xu Ba inherited the title.Now, the Marquis of Yangping is gone.

The strength of these two families is much smaller than that of the previous two surnamed Zhang, each with only [-] private soldiers.

These people used to live on different sides and had no news.Now they are suddenly gathered together... Is it going to chop off the chicken head and burn the yellow paper to revive Cao Wei?

Well, in fact, the real situation is like this.

"I will pay homage to Your Majesty! It is our honor that Your Majesty still remembers us at this time. I am willing to do my best for His Majesty! I will die!"

"Good, all my lords, as long as you are loyal to the king's affairs, restore the prestige of your ancestors on the battlefield, and make contributions to the country. Why are you so stingy with the reward of being a prince!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! The ministers are so grateful that they dare to die!"

"Well, all my lords, now the Xilingbu family has voted for me anyway, and is being besieged by Soochow Wu. You can be the vanguard, defeat Wu's army, and relieve my worries!"

"Here! I will obey His Majesty's orders! I will repay Your Majesty with the head of Wugou!"

……

After the meeting, the reactions of all parties are as follows.

Sima Yan: Well, these descendants of the old generals of the Cao family are quite knowledgeable and have a good attitude.

Yang Jun: I admire Your Majesty!Your majesty is wise!
Sima You: That's right, Brother Huang, a king must have a mind that can tolerate everything in order to swallow the world.Brother Huang can treat these people kindly, who in the world would not bow down to Brother Huang?This is the benevolent invincible!

Sima Yan: Hehehe, Wen Ju, well done!

Yang Yao: Your Majesty, these four families brought three thousand private soldiers.The number is still a little less.Why not send Xu Cong, the grandson of Zhuanghou (Xu Chu) of Mou Township, to lead 2000 people from the Chinese army to go south with him?
Sima Yan: Yes~~~.

privately.

Pei Xiu: Gonglu, these descendants of the old Cao Wei generals are not easy.To be so humble and obedient to His Majesty.This dissatisfaction is obvious!
Jia Chong: Hehehe, that's the way it should be.I won’t tell you anymore, I have to ask Jin Zuo Cao, who is under my control, to send someone to contact the Si Wen Cao’s personnel who were stationed in Luoyang in Xishu.Hey, there are so many things.

Yes, don't think that intelligence warfare in ancient times was very low.In fact, like modern intelligence warfare, the intelligence agencies of the three countries often fight with each other and occasionally cooperate.For example, this time, because of Jin Zuo Cao's deliberate action, Shu Han and Soochow both received the news very quickly.

At the end of September in 266 AD, the Jingzhou Army of the Jin State supported by the central government had a total of more than 9 people ([-] were left in Weixing County to defend the Hanzhong Army of the Shu Han). The whole division went south to Xiling.

At the same time, Guan Yi in Chengdu and Zhong Hui in Jianye both received related news.After receiving this information, Guan Yi and Zhong Hui said the same thing:

"Hey, such a big gift, if you don't accept it, you will really feel sorry for that idiot Sima Yan!"
