Chapter 676: Faction Germination?

"The resettlement of the victims has been properly settled?" After returning to Wancheng, Ma Chao asked with a heavy heart in the face of the generals under the court.

After receiving Liu Yue's information, Ma Chao learned that although the locust plague in the Sili area has gradually weakened, the entire Sili area has almost no harvest in a year. In the three years of Chuping and the two years of Xingping Yuanping, the Ma family's steps were indeed a little too big, and they couldn't digest it for a while.

"Back to the lord," Gao Shun stepped forward, clasped his fists and said: "The victims have all been settled in Wancheng Zhou County, the military discipline of the Lai Ma family is strict, and the merits of the civil officials have been promoted, and there has not been a major conflict between the victims and the people of Nanyang County. In the resettlement of the victims, the positive side proposed the method of tracing the genealogy and recognizing the ancestors, which was even more whimsical, which accelerated the identity and integration of the victims and the people of Nanyang. ”

In the matter of resettlement of the victims, Gao Shun is Ma Chao's most relied on general. Gao Shun is honest and fair, rigorous and measured. In the Three Kingdoms era, he was the most recognized model of a soldier by later generations. Ma Chao used Gao Shun as the main general to deal with the resettlement of the victims, which can be summed up in just six words: You do things, I can rest assured.

At this time, as soon as Gao Shun exited, he saw Gao Shun's fair and noble style. In one sentence, there is no trace of how tired I am. On the contrary, he took the lead in saying that the work of his subordinates, with such a leader, will his subordinates do their duties without care?

"Oh? How to make a method of 'tracing the genealogy and recognizing the ancestry'? Chao is very interested. Ma Chao was not surprised that Li Yan was able to make some unexpected achievements. After all, in history, Li Yan was well-known for his talents, and later, together with Zhuge Liang, he was entrusted by Liu Bei as a lonely minister.

"The victims of the disaster are all gathered together in clan regions, and Lord Zhong has already seen this matter clearly. Yan thought from this that since the victims of the disaster were headed by clan elders, such major migration events should naturally be recorded in the genealogy for future generations. Most of the people of Nanyang fled to Jingzhou for refuge during the Wang Mang Rebellion, and most of them were related to the people of Sili. On top of the genealogy, you only need to turn a few pages, and above four or five generations, it is a family. Li Yan came out of the ranks, clasped his fists and said word by word. The waist and back are strong, and they have their own color: "Putian Lishu, the clan concept is very strong." With this factor, Yan came up with ........"

Li Yan was about to continue, but was interrupted by Ma Chaoyi with a wave of his hand. Li Yan was stunned, and all the civil ministers and generals were also slightly surprised by this. After Ma Chao was silent for a moment, he still boasted: "There is no need to say more, this method of 'tracing the genealogy and recognizing the sect' is indeed a stroke of genius. Moving into Nanyang, it is better to melt into Nanyang. Such a whimsical idea is really an eye-opener! ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly eased. And Li Yan is so boastful of Ma Chao, naturally he is also honored. It's just that Li Yan didn't see it, and at this time, Ma Chao looked at him with a slight scruple: Li Yan is self-conscious, and there are scales and armor in his abdomen, and the township party thinks it is unapproachable!

Li Yan in history is indeed very talented. Liu Bei's entrustment of loneliness shows that Li Yan's talent can even be regarded as the pillar of optimus in Shu Han, where talents are withering! And Liu Bei's entrustment of orphanage to Cheng Xiangliang, Shangshu made Li Yan his deputy, and Li Yan and Zhuge Liang were bequeathed to assist the young master's entrustment, how similar is it to Sun Ce when he died? !

Before Sun Ce died, he was entrusted to Zhang Zhao, and Zhou Yu was in charge of all affairs with Zhang Zhao, the chief of the army. The prime minister served by Zhuge Liang of the Shu Han Dynasty and the long history served by Zhang Zhao of the Eastern Wu Dynasty were both civil servants, or administrators; Li Yan's Zhongdu Protector and Zhou Yu's Zhonghu Army were both military positions, or military commanders. Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao 'shared the charge of public affairs', and Li Yan and Kong Ming 'received the edict'. One martial arts, one text, one upright, what a similar Nair!

What does this mean?

It shows that in Liu Bei's mind, Li Yan is Zhou Yu, or at least hope that he is Zhou Yu? .......

But did Li Yan play the role of Zhou Yu?

The answer is no: no.

Li Yan was not able to assist Liu Chan with Zhuge Liang, but was also deposed and exiled after Liu Beituo was orphaned for eight years, and his reputation was ruined. The reason for being abolished is simply ridiculous and unbelievable.

In the ninth year of the Jianxing of the Shu Han Dynasty (231 AD), Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan and went north to Cao Wei, and arranged for Li Yan to supervise the transportation of military grain. At this time, Li Yan acted as the government affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion as the protector of the central capital, and it was naturally his job to supervise the transportation of grain and grass. It's a pity that Li Yan's luck is too bad. In the summer and autumn of this year, heavy rain fell so much that the military rations could not be transported to the front as scheduled. So, Li Yan sent someone to the army to explain the situation and ideas, and asked Zhuge Liang to return to the division, and Zhuge Liang also agreed.

However, when the news of Zhuge Liang's withdrawal came, Li Yan pretended to be strange and made a fuss and said, alas, the army is full of food, how can he return? He also went to Liu Chan, saying that Zhuge Liang's withdrawal was a 'pseudo-retreat', and the purpose was to lure thieves into battle. This is certainly not true and will also cause suspicion. Zhuge Liang had no choice but to write Li Yan's handwriting before and after. At this time, Li Yanci was exhausted, and he could only apologize for his guilt.

It can be seen that the motive for Li Yan's crime is quite unclear - Li Yan's explanation to everyone and Liu Chan is contradictory and suspicious; And the modus operandi is also extremely inferior - just empty words, in the court of conspiracy, this is not even a child's trick.

However, the result was based on Zhuge Liang's words alone, and more than 20 people, including Wei Yan, Yang Yi, Deng Zhi, Liu Ba, Fei Yi, Jiang Wei, and other important ministers of the Shu Han Dynasty at that time, jointly signed a letter, demanding that Li Yan be deposed and Zitong exiled.

The abolition of Li Yan also left a mystery for history. Just like the Meng Da rebel Han in Shu Han, it has become an insoluble mystery of history.

Up to this time, historians still have no conclusive conclusion on Li Yan's case. But there is no doubt that like Meng Da's rebellion, Li Yan's abolition has proximate causes, distant causes, superficial reasons, and root causes. Although the fundamental reason is that the internal contradictions of the Shu Han regime composed of the three political forces of Yizhou, Dongzhou, and Jingzhou are conflicting with each other, the direct cause is that Li Yan and Meng Da are self-contained and difficult to coexist; A person who is talented and skillful, and others are difficult to approach; To put it bluntly, both of them are to blame for pride.

However, Ma Chao knows that the direct cause can never be the enemy of the root cause. At this time, Ma Chao was even more worried, the Ma family has taken too big steps in the past two years, and the military generals under his command have become more and more large, and their factional contradictions have gradually revealed a trace of sprouts: the Ma family started with the wind, and its Jia Xu, Fa Zheng, Zhang Ji, Yang Fu, Pang De, Ma Dai and others can be said to be the starting team of the Ma family; Subsequently, the Ma family became famous, Xun You, Li Ru, Zhong Xuan, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others, which can be regarded as the upstart of the Ma family.......

At this time, look back at Xu Shu and Shi Tao, as well as Li Yan and Wei Yan, and maybe even count Huang Zhong and Wen Ping in the future........ The fact that the Jingzhou faction wants to occupy a piece of the country in the Ma family is obviously just around the corner.

And all this is indeed an unavoidable and difficult challenge for the head of the Ma family, who is only seventeen years old and barely a qualified politician. In history, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and other heroes did not escape the internal contradictions of this factional dispute, and even more so, the disaster occurred in Xiao Wall, which made the huge and prosperous family fall apart in an instant.......

Can Ma Chao, a traverser, completely escape or reverse the drawbacks of ancient times?

Ma Chao rubbed his temples lightly with his hand, and frowned: Although I have been concerned about this problem. But this is like an unsolvable weapon of Dax's sword, which always hangs above his head, and it will not be a good thing for a long time.......
