The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 227 The Temple Calculation of the Northern Expedition ([-])

When Cao Ling, Deng Guobin and others died generously one after another.A large-scale meeting is being held in Chengdu.

The participants, from the emperor and the prince to the main personnel of the Da Sima Mansion, and then to the local officials, can be said to have included the upper-level figures of the entire Shu Han.

The topic of this meeting is only one: Northern Expedition!

This year is AD 267, four years have passed since the end of the last war.According to Guan Yi's promise to "launch the Northern Expedition again within five years" before he came to power.This year, even if the Northern Expedition is not launched, at least it is time to propose the Northern Expedition—after all, a large-scale military operation involving 10,000+ troops and nearly [-] civilians.If you don't spend months in advance to fully prepare.It is impossible to just leave.

But to be honest, with the heart of the traveler, he really didn't want to go to the Northern Expedition at this time.

why?Because it is now 267 years.But it is clearly written in the history books: From 268 to 270, Guanzhong and Longxi were plagued by severe drought and locust plagues every year for three consecutive years!
Why does Guan Yi remember this little thing so clearly?Because the three-year drought directly gave birth to the Liangzhou Rebellion.

On the basis of history, from 268 to 270 AD, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong and Longxi.The Qiang and Xianbei people in these places began to frequently plunder the grain of the Han people in order to survive.In the beginning, this kind of behavior was still scattered, small-scale and surreptitious-the Han people were very strong in those days.Even if the Han people have fought a civil war for nearly 100 years, they can easily push any foreign race to the ground and rub it at will.So at the beginning, although these alien races were under pressure to survive, they were more restrained (mainly because of fear) when they robbed the Han people.

But what is surviving is that the Western Jin government at that time sent Hu Lie to be the governor of Liangzhou.This master is blindly strong, only knows high pressure - people only start to rob when they can't survive, purely using force to oppress others is not allowed to rob?As a result, the Xianbei leader Bald Shuji couldn't bear it anymore and led the crowd to rebel.Finally, the massive Liangzhou Rebellion was formed.Within a period of time, the entire Liangzhou was completely separated from the territory of the Western Jin Dynasty.Hu Lie, Su Yu, Qianhong, Yang Xin and many other famous officials and veterans all died in battle.Later, the Western Jin Dynasty had no choice but to use Wenyang to send troops, and it was the first time that the bald tree function was defeated. The rebellious Xianbei, Qiangdi and other tribes surrendered more than [-] people successively.But as soon as the battle situation improved, Wen Yang was quickly refrigerated.So the function of the bald tree resumed again.It wasn't until Ma Long took action, relying on the epoch-making weapon of [-] elite plus flat box cars, that he marched a thousand miles westward in an invincible posture and killed a thousand miles, and then the rebellion was suppressed.And this, a full ten years have passed since the bald tree machine launched an army...

The impact of this great rebellion was far-reaching. In addition to extending Soochow's life for ten years, it also led to the deterrence of foreign races around the Central Plains that took hundreds of years for countless Han heroes to establish since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. significantly weakened.The most straightforward statement is: If we say that the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising was to warm up Xiang Yu and Liu Bang.The uprising of the three brothers Zhang Jiao is to warm up Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce and others.Then the function of the bald tree is to warm up Liu Yuan, Li Te, Shi Le and others.

Therefore, the traversers who are familiar with this period of history really don't want to go to the Northern Expedition at this point in time: the Northern Expedition fails, Guan Yi's prestige is damaged, and if he fails, he will die.The Northern Expedition succeeded?Hey, let's not talk about whether Jin's power in Kanto will come in full force.The three-year drought and locust plague alone were enough to make him want to die.

However, it would not work without the Northern Expedition.

To the outside world, Guan Yi has been sending high-alcohol wine for so many years. It stands to reason that the foreigners in Yongliang should be extremely poor.He also once hoped that the food shortage in Guanzhong caused by high alcohol consumption could prompt the Yongliang Rebellion to break out early.However, compared with natural disasters, the killer weapon of Gaojiu is really weak.Although at this stage, the food reserves of the various aristocratic families in Guanzhong have dropped to a very low level.However, in the absence of continuous large-scale natural disasters in Yongliang in recent years, it is really uncertain when the Yongliang rebellion will break out.

Moreover, Sima Zhao's vision is very accurate.He sent Sima Wang to guard Guanzhong and Hu Fen out of Longxi.These two may not be particularly prominent in terms of military strategy.But politics is pretty good.Especially Hu Fen, who is Hu Lie's elder brother.It is different from Hu Lie who only knows how to use strength.Hu Fen is a man who knows how to fight and how to govern the people.He has been in Xuzhou for these years and managed the people's livelihood there very well.After coming to Liangzhou, because he was originally from Anding County, which is close to Liangzhou.His personality, living habits, and way of dealing with problems were quickly recognized by the nearby Xianbei, Qiang, Di people and other foreign ethnic groups.As long as this guy stays in the position of governor of Yongzhou, even if there is a natural disaster, even if there are sporadic rebellions.But it is estimated that it will not be as large as the historical standard.

Furthermore, because the traversers changed history.Shu Han was still alive at this point in time.As long as the Shu Han is still alive, no matter how bastard the ruler of the Jin Kingdom is, they will not push the foreigners in Yongliang too much...

But internally.First of all, General Jiang Wei is 65 years old this year.The old man desperately hopes to return to Tianshui in a dignified way in his lifetime, and his desire for the Northern Expedition is getting stronger and stronger.And his relationship with Guan Yi is more of an ally than a superior or subordinate. Together with his idea, Guan Yi can't just follow an order.

Originally, according to the general's consistent thinking, now the country's income has improved so much, and the household registration has increased so much.It is long overdue to launch a large-scale northern expedition with an army of 20.So Guan Yi tried all kinds of persuasion, pleading with a playful smile, and even quarreled with him with a straight face.After so many years, Jiang Wei has given Guan Yi a lot of face.If the suppression continues like this, Jiang Wei's perception of Guan Yi is likely to be that he is another Fei Yi.

Secondly, the standing army in Shu Han is now full of 15.For the Shu Han whose national power is still at the tail end of the Three Kingdoms, if there is no Northern Expedition, then maintaining so many standing troops would be meaningless.Ah, no, there's still meaning—too bad it's all negative.

Again, the growth of Shu Han's national power over the years is obvious to all.Everyone in the Fuxing Society held back their energy and wanted to go to the Northern Expedition—for Guan Yi, this could be regarded as a cocoon.Who asked him to brainwash his subordinates all day long, such as why they can't survive without the Northern Expedition?
Therefore, there is no hope of the Liangzhou rebellion externally, and the expectations of various forces are gradually unable to be suppressed internally.Guan Yi, a powerful minister, also has a sense of powerlessness that is gradually losing control of the situation!
Then go to the Northern Expedition.Speaking of which, my dignified traveler, why should I so low expect the enemy's rebellion?Internally, politics has been almost straightened out, people's livelihood has been restored, household registration has increased, the army is sufficient, food reserves are abundant, and the ziplines between the mountains have been erected in sevens and eights... I have almost achieved the ultimate.Shouldn't we hurry up to the Northern Expedition while we're still breathing?Besides, this Northern Expedition will not be completed in a few months or even a year.What if during the Northern Expedition, the enemy's rebellion started?
So there is a meeting like today.

"Your Majesty, my great man is still confined to a corner of Yizhou. If we don't conquer Yongliang in the Northern Expedition, our country is always on the verge of life and death. Therefore, for the long-term peace and stability of the great man, and for the ideal of the late emperor's revival of the Han Dynasty. I beseech your Majesty's permission." , launched the Northern Expedition in the fifth year of Yanxing!"

"Father, son-in-law Liu Chen seconded the proposal!"

"Minister Jiang Wei seconded the proposal!"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

Not to mention that it has become a rubber stamp again, even Liu Chan, who used to have real power in his hands, could not resist the unified opinions of the prince, Da Sima, the general, and a group of important officials.Therefore, this opinion was quickly passed.

Next, of course, is to discuss the candidates for sending envoys to Soochow.

Yes, the national strength of the Shu Han is still insufficient, and this Northern Expedition wants to succeed.Soochow's strong cooperation is necessary.

Speaking of which, since the small fight between Xiling and Soochow last year.The diplomatic relations between Han and Wu fell to freezing point.However, the general environment is such that breaking off diplomatic relations will never be done as long as the rulers of the two countries are clear-headed.

The envoys of the Shu Han to Soochow were first Deng Zhi, then Fei Yi, Zong Yu, and Fan Jian.Needless to say, the first two have been hanging up for a long time.As for Zong Yu, after all, his lifespan has reached there. Although he is not dead yet, he still has a breath.As for Fan Jian, tsk tsk, let’s forget about this embroidered pillow—this trip is not an ordinary diplomatic relationship, but to persuade Soochow to raise all the soldiers of the whole country to cooperate with the Northern Expedition of Shu Han when the relationship between the two countries is at a freezing point!

"Does Da Sima have a favorite candidate?"

"Uh..." Turning his head a few times, Guan Yi smiled slightly: "Let's invite Wushuang to go. Your Majesty can give Wushuang a free post to facilitate his mission."

Well, Mr. Wushuang's reputation is already international.And he is best at making jokes.So this is the most appropriate.

"Good, then add Zitong prefect Honglu Temple with the title of Shaocheng, and leave at the beginning of this month to be an envoy to Soochow."

"According to the order."

After determining the candidates for the mission to Soochow, the next step is to determine the strategy for sending troops.

"Your Majesty, after careful consultation with the general, the left chariot general (Zhang Yi), etc., we agreed to send 12 troops to the north in three routes!"

　I have been tossing and tossing outside for nearly a month, and it finally stopped recently.In the last month, the average order was more than 900, and the peak value reached more than 1200.There are also many rewards.I am very grateful to all the book friends for their strong support.Let me talk about two things. First, there are still more than 40 chapters in the manuscript. Although I am a member of the system, I have come to various inspections and meetings at the end of the year.But I still want to try my best to repay the book friends.So next month there will be two updates every day, and the update time is 12:20 noon and [-]:[-] pm every day.The second is tomorrow's chapter, which is very, very important.Readers, please read carefully and slowly, and take out the props when necessary.Otherwise, the next few dozen chapters may seem a bit empty to you.Thanks again for your support!For a non-professional writer like me, writing a book is hard work, but for everyone's support, I must work hard to write it!
