Chapter 550: Guanzhong Strategy (2)
In Liu Bei's view, the generals of Liangzhou have always been lawless. In history, after Ma Teng was forced by Cao Cao to be recruited to the imperial court as a guard under pressure, why did Ma Chao insist on opposing Cao regardless of the lives of his father and brother? In addition to being unruly, unruly, and bent on dominating Liangzhou, I am afraid that I still feel that I can fight Cao Cao.
Ma Chao was successively conscripted by Cao Cao for various official positions, but he didn't go to office, so he just wanted to stay in Liangzhou and never go anywhere. His father Ma Teng entered the court, and he took the post of general and commanded his father's department, still entrenched in Liangzhou. Later, Cao Cao sent Zhong Xuan and Xiahou Yuan out of Hedong, and attacked Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. Ma Chao thought that this was Cao Cao's false way to destroy Cao, so he and Han Sui and other generals in Guanxi rose up against Cao. Cao Cao fought all his life and almost capsized in the hands of Ma Chao. If it weren't for his fate, he would really die in Guanzhong. Not long after Cao Cao returned, he found an excuse to kill Ma Teng's family cleanly.
Such an ancient otaku who doesn't even want the lives of his father and brother in order to protect his territory, can he say surrender? Liu Bei fell into deep thought. Then Liu Bei said to Jia Xu: "Wen Ruo, I want to say that the generals in the customs are lowered, but do you think it's okay?" ”
When Jia Xu heard this, he shook his head again and again: "Lord, Guan and Liang generals, conceited their bravery." If the lord does not show off his martial arts and only wants to be gentle, he will not be able to calm down when he is close or cold. ”
Jia Xu is an old man in Liangzhou, and he knows what kind of virtue the people of Liangzhou are, from officials to ordinary people, and the Qiang people have been fighting, robbing and fighting for many years. Over the past 100 years, it has developed a folk custom of only recognizing fists and not being reasonable. If Liu Bei didn't subdue them, he wanted to persuade them to surrender, but he was afraid that the bamboo basket would be empty. Even if it is lowered in name, it is still the same in private, and it is not subject to control. Jia Xu knew that Liu Bei was slightly closed and cool, and what he wanted was absolute obedience. In the future, a large number of officials will be sent to govern the area. So he made it very clear.
Liu Bei understood as soon as he heard it, and he still had to beat them all down to finish it. Also, didn't Ma Chao think that Cao Cao was just like that, and then he blatantly launched a rebellion? As a result, it was a pity that he failed and ended up miserable. People say that the first half of the romance is written by Lu Bu, and the second half is written by Ma Chao, although it is a bit too famous, but such a strong general, it still makes him have a good result. Completely convince him and make him realize that his fist is the biggest, and it should be obeyed, right?
Liu Bei was in Huayin, and he was not in a hurry to advance, the soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. In the future, there will be many wars here, so it is natural to stock up a little more grain and grass first. Fortunately, the water of Jing and Weizhi is connected with the big river, and the transportation of grain and grass is also convenient. So Liu Bei was in Huayin, waiting for Pei Mao to come, and by the way, he was recruiting talents in Huayin.
In the land of outstanding people in Guanzhong, even if it has been abandoned for many years, how can there be no one or two sages in the wilderness?
Not long after, the sage did not come, and Liangzhou Thorn Shi Weiduan sent someone to come. Wei Duanzi Xiufu, Jingzhao people. At this time, it is the history of Liangzhou thorn. He sent his son Wei Kang and Beijia Yanxiang to Liu Bei to meet him.
Wei Kang Ziyuan General, once praised by Kong Rong as a brilliant talent, Yadu Hongyi, and a great instrument. Yan Xiang's words and writings are intelligent, bold and intelligent, and he is also a rare character in Guan and Liang.
During the decisive battle between Yuan and Liu, Yuan Shao sent people to win over Wei Duan, but Wei Duan discussed with the generals and decided to hold a neutral group and watch the play on the side, and no one should be offended. In the end, Yuan Shao was quickly defeated, and Wei Duan felt Liu Bei's might, so he sent an envoy to Qingzhou to pay tribute. This time, Liu Bei led a large army to Guanzhong, and Wei Duan got the news and ordered his son to investigate with Yan Xiang. See what Liu Bei means.
In Liangzhou for many years, Wei Duan has been deeply connected with the generals of Guan Liang, and quite agrees with the Liangzhou generals' statement that the Liang people treat Liang. After all, the imperial court has not paid attention to Liangzhou for many years, and there were once three dukes who intended to give up Liangzhou. No one cares, so the people of Liangzhou take care of it themselves. In this barbaric place, the officials of the Central Plains are not used to it.
Liu Bei met with Wei Kang and Yan Xiang, and during the banquet, Wei Kang asked Liu Bei: "The general is leading troops to the west, do you want to Liangzhou?" ”
Liu Bei said with a smile: "Guan and Liang have been in turmoil for a long time, and I have the trust of Your Majesty to take charge of military and political affairs." Naturally, we must work hard to quell the chaos and serve the court. Today, the three auxiliary generals occupy their own counties, the law and order collapse, and the people have suffered for a long time. I should be peaceful. The scenery of Liangzhou is different from that of Kanto, I haven't seen it for many years, and I want to see it again. "Liu Bei once marched to Liangzhou with Zhang Wen to fight for Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, so he said so.
When Wellcome heard this, he was greatly disappointed. He originally thought that Liu Bei just wanted to pacify Si Li's school lieutenant department, but in addition to Si Li, Liu Bei still thought about Liangzhou. For many years in Liangzhou, the decrees have been issued by his father, and now there is an imperial court on his head, but I am afraid that life will be difficult.
Of course, Wei Duan didn't have too many soldiers and horses in his hands, and he didn't have the courage to confront Liu Bei. Let Wei Kang and Yan Xiang ask Liu Bei's intentions, just to stand in line in the future. If Liu Bei Bing stopped three auxiliaries, he would naturally be happy. If Liu Bei insisted on entering Liangzhou, then he would naturally have to make plans early and stand with Liu Bei.
After bidding farewell to Wei Kang and Yan Xiang, Jia Xu came back to see Liu Bei and said: "My lord, in my opinion, Liangzhou's civil and military affairs all have the heart of self-reliance. ”
Liu Bei didn't care either, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the majesty of the imperial court has been lost over the years, and it is normal for him to have this intention in the border area of Liangzhou." But this time he came, but he didn't allow such a thing to happen. Liangzhou must be pacified, and the Qiang people must also be defeated. Next, it's the Western Regions.
In the eyes of the people of this era, the Western Regions is a big burden, from the court to the common people, everyone thinks so. Liu Bei also felt normal about this, after all, there were still many high-ranking officials who felt that Liangzhou was a burden, not to mention the farther and more remote Western Regions. But the poison of man, my honey. In Liu Bei's view, the Western Regions is a big treasure house. It's just that people at this time don't know about development at all.
The generals in Guanzhong received Liu Bei's letter one after another. The name of the person, the shadow of the erection. No matter how empty the generals are, no one in their eyes, they still have a little fear of Liu Bei. People are really killed in the sea of swords. He also came to Liangzhou that year, and together with Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian and others, he quelled the rebellion between Sanfu and Liangzhou. The soldiers and horses of Liangzhou were defeated. In the first battle of Lantian that year, Li Wenhou was defeated and beheaded 7,000 levels. Such a record cannot be faked.
So the generals went to see Li Dao with letters. After all, now in Guanzhong, Ma Teng and Han Sui are not there, and Li Wei is the biggest warlord leader. Li Wei was overjoyed when he saw the generals coming one after another, but he didn't see Ma Teng and Han Sui. There was a slight anger. Secretly, although the two families have fought separately, but at such a critical juncture, why don't you abandon your past suspicions and work together?
Gao Gan and Yuan Shang saw that the generals gathered and also came together. Let's see if we can convince the generals to deal with Liu Bei together. In Chiyang City, there are more and more soldiers and horses.
