Chapter 196 Guiyang People Change, Fishing in Troubled Waters!

"I am by the grace of Uncle Liu Huang's three visits, out of the mountain to assist the Han family, you can cultivate and study here, don't want to barren the land, when I am done, I should return to the middle of the hidden dragon!"

"The words of the elder brother's confession, the younger brother will keep it in mind, and I hope that the elder brother will take care of his health and complete it as soon as possible!"

"Folks, please go back, Kong Ming is leaving!"

…………………………

After an assassination storm, Zhuge Liang finally came out of the mountain, carrying a very simple salute, only a few changes of clothes, some precious ancient books, and a beloved Yaoqin...... Zhuge Jun took the villagers and sent them to the mountain pass, repeatedly telling them to say goodbye!

Looking at the place where he had lived for many years, Zhuge Liang was also full of reluctance, took off his clothes, wrapped some loess on the post, and then turned over and went straight to Wancheng with Liu Bei...... No one thought that once this Mr. Wolong was gone, he would never return in this life!

If there is a word, it is long, if there is no word, it is short, a group of people quickly whipped, most of the day later came to Wancheng, I heard that the lord invited Mr. Wolong, Xu Shu took a group of civil and military officials, out of the city thirty miles to meet, the two good friends met, naturally it was a lot of affection!

Everyone returned to the city with laughter, and set up a grand banquet to congratulate the lord on getting a great sage, Liu Bei was elated, drank happily, and crowned Zhuge Liang - the general of the military division, and Xu Shu made suggestions and participated in the military aircraft together!

Since then, Zhuge Liang has been under the command of Liu Bei, handling government affairs every day, planning military strategies, teaching soldiers various formations, all kinds of big and small affairs, all of which are properly pasted, and have won unanimous praise!

Within a few days, an astonishing piece of news came out, more than 100,000 homeless people in Guiyang County rebelled, captured the city, and killed officials.

Guiyang County borders Nanyang County, and after learning the news, Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei to lead the people of the headquarters to the border of the two counties to guard it, so as not to rush over; On the one hand, he summoned his subordinates to discuss major matters together!

…………………………………………………………………………

"If you don't deal with it as soon as possible, it may become a prairie fire, what good strategies do you have to stabilize the overall situation in Jingzhou?"

In the conference hall, Liu Bei's eyes flashed, revealing excitement, he has been plotting Jingzhou, there may be an opportunity in front of him, you must know that the muddy water is good to fish!

The civil and military ministers are also excited, if Liu Bei becomes the lord of Jingzhou, they will also follow Feihuang Tengda, as for how to act, it depends on the arrangement of Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu!

Both of them are strategists, with completely different styles, Xu Shu is pure and good at commanding in battle, Kong Ming has a unique view of the big picture, and is good at long-term layout, so on the top, the former waved his hand slightly, let the latter step forward to offer advice, and then seek to win the nine counties of Jingxiang!

"Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han family has fallen into decline, Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, and Gongsun Du have ...... successively chased the Central Plains, so that the soldiers were in trouble, the lives were ruined, and the people fled in all directions!

Jingzhou is located in the south, there is the Yangtze River in the north, and the mountains in the south are relatively peaceful, so the population of the Central Plains has moved here one after another, in order to avoid the scourge of swords, among which there are many gate lords, called: 'Exile Beishi!' ’

When the people of the Central Plains came to Jingzhou, they needed housing, land cultivation, and business to make a living...... This caused a competition for resources with the original indigenous people, coupled with the incompetence of Jingzhou officials and the failure to reconcile the contradictions in time, which led to a fierce popular uprising!

Since the first year of Jian'an, there have been more than ten civil uprisings in Jingzhou, the scale is getting bigger and faster, the frequency is getting faster and faster, the Jingzhou soldiers are constantly suppressing, killing countless people, but it is only a symptom but not a cure, and they are just exhausted in vain! ”

Zhuge Liang spoke clearly, his voice was loud, and in a short sentence, he said the root cause of the civil change in Guiyang County clearly, in fact, many people of insight also know the root cause of the civil change, and hope that the government will deal with it properly!

The question is, since Liu Biao took charge of Jingzhou, in order to sit firmly in the position of the state pastor, he tried his best to win over the indigenous gate valves, but he failed to reuse any of the exiled Beishi, which made the situation worse and worse.

"Cao thieves have unified the Central Plains, and may raise troops to the south at any time to invade Jingzhou and Jiangdong, and the outside must first be settled inside, and the people in Jingzhou are not calm, how to resist Cao's army?

Guiyang and Nanyang counties border, after learning of the civil uprising, Liu Jingsheng must give an order to let the general send troops to quell the rebellion. What are the pros and cons? ”

The core personnel of Liu Bei's group are also from the north, and they are also rejected by Liu Biao, and they share the same illness with the chaotic people, and let them act as executioners, how can they bear it?

And Liu Biao is jealous of his ability, and has been secretly wary of Liu Bei, for fear that he will plot to seize Jingzhou, if Liu Bei succeeds in quelling the rebellion, this vigilance will inevitably increase, and it will be very unfavorable to a series of things behind!

"This matter is easy, if Liu Zhoumu orders to quell the rebellion, the lord can write to complain, just say that Nanyang County is short of soldiers, horses, money and food, and ask for some supplies, and then the army can go on the march!

Then ask the eldest prince - Liu Qi to be the commander, send troops from Xiangyang City, and attack the lord in the north and south, so that not only can the rebellion be quelled, but also has three major benefits:

First, with the assistance of money, food and materials, you can expand the soldiers and horses of Nanyang County, strengthen the military strength of the lord, and the rebels captured after the rebellion can also choose the strong ones and then collect them for your own use!

Second: the combination of rigidity and softness, quelling the rebellion, stabilizing the situation in Jingzhou, can guard the hearts of the indigenous people, and then properly resettle the displaced people, so as to collect the hearts of the exiled Beishi, so that the hearts of the people of Jingzhou will return to the lord!

Third: Take advantage of the opportunity to counter-insurgency, you can make friends with the generals of Jingzhou and establish the personal prestige of the lord, especially the eldest prince Liu Qi, the lord should use more thoughts, don't forget, Liu Zhoumu has two sons! ”

Zhuge Liang's father-in-law, Huang Chengyan, is a brother-in-law relationship with Liu Biao, so he knows everything about his family, this Liu Zhoumu's biggest heart is not Cao Cao in the north, nor Liu Bei next to him, but two baby sons!

Liu Biao first married his wife Chen, and had an eldest son, Liu Qi - good at reading, filial piety, and rough martial arts, but his character is too cowardly, so he is slightly not enough to support the overall situation!

After coming to Jingzhou, Chen's wife died, in order to win the heart of the door valve, Liu Biao continued to be the daughter of Cai's family, and gave birth to the second son Liu Cong, who was smart and clever, and was very favored!

As his body grows older, Liu Biao has the heart to establish a reserve, and he has guarded the nine counties of Jingxiang for generations, according to reason, Liu Qi is the eldest son and should inherit his father's official title, but unfortunately he is too cowardly, I am afraid he will not be able to keep this family business!

If you set up the second son-Liu Cong, you are afraid that you will abolish the longevity and the young and destroy the ancestral family law, which will cause cannibalism, and Liu Cong is too young, and he is subject to his mother Cai everywhere, once he is allowed to be the pastor of Jingzhou, the Cai family will inevitably be autocratic, and there is also a danger of being replaced!

Therefore, Liu Biao hesitated, not knowing which son to choose, and the Wenchen generals in Jingzhou were also divided into two factions, each supporting a son, and there was no shortage of open and secret fighting!

Kong Ming's words were to instruct Liu Bei to skillfully approach Liu Qi in the counterinsurgency, and then participate in the dispute between the Li Prince, and only wait until Liu Biao's life is over, and then support Liu Qi as the pastor of Jingzhou, and then eradicate the Cai family!

Liu Qi is cowardly and incompetent, and he has no way to defend Jingzhou, so he must rely on his uncle Liu Bei, so that the actual rights of Jingxiang Nine Counties will also fall into Liu Bei's hands, just wait for the time to be ripe, and then replace him!

"Succeeding to the throne with the eldest son is the ancestral system of the Han family, how can you allow despicable villains to destroy it, when you see Brother Jingsheng in the future, this general must fight with reason, so as not to abolish the elder and establish the young!"

Liu Bei is such a cunning person, he immediately understood Kong Ming's hint, and he was extremely appreciative of it in his heart, but the words he said were still righteous and awe-inspiring, this is both being a bitch and setting up an archway!

"Report! -General Qiyu Zuo, Liu Zhoumu sent a messenger, and there is an urgent report from Hongling! ”

Before the discussion was over, a small school ran in, holding an urgent report with three swan feathers pasted on it, and it seemed that the civil uprising in Guiyang County was already very serious!

"Haha! --God help me, Liu Jingsheng asked me to send troops to quell the rebellion! ”

Liu Bei received the letter in his hand, and hurriedly opened it to watch, exactly the same as he guessed, it was indeed the mobilization of soldiers and horses in Nanyang County to pacify the civil unrest in Guiyang County!

Next, Liu Bei wrote a reply letter to Liu Biao according to Kong Ming's strategy, asked for a large amount of ordnance, grain and grass, and recommended the eldest prince Liu Qi as the commander and himself as the deputy, and sent troops to quell the rebellion in two ways!

A wave is not settled, a wave rises again, there are a lot of chores every day, and you can only code words slowly in the dead of night!
