Zhuge Liang was very satisfied with his children.
Zhuge Qiao, the adopted son, was as close as a biological father and son. Many people say that Zhuge Qiao's tone and behavior are very similar to Zhuge Liang. Even if he is really a father and son, it is just like this.
However, after all, the two were not biological father and son. Zhuge Liang knew very well that deep down in Zhuge Qiao, he always had his attachment to his biological parents and his longing for Jiangdong.
He also knew that in the past few years, Zhuge Jin's eldest son Zhuge Ke had asked someone to bring letters to Zhuge Qiao several times. Those letters were hidden secretly by Zhuge Qiao and never showed them to others. It was like a child secretly hiding the sweetest candy from his elders.
So after Zhuge Jin came to Chengdu, although Zhuge Liang himself did not meet Zhuge Jin in private, he encouraged Zhuge Qiao to accompany this "uncle".
He hoped that this would give Zhuge Qiao a little comfort and prevent the blood-connected family affection from being alienated.
According to today's schedule, Zhuge Qiao should accompany Zhuge Jin to see the remains of Wenweng School, and then go west of Shiqiao to see Sima Xiangru's old house.
But he never thought that Zhuge Qiao suddenly urged his horse to rush into the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, causing chaos in the courtyard.
When he hurriedly spoke and then quickly left, Zhuge Liang stood in front of the hall and couldn't help but smile when he thought of the interesting situation Zhuge Qiao said.
"What's wrong with Qiaoer? He agreed to go with his uncle, but came here... If he was late, wouldn't it be rude?" someone asked behind him.
"It's okay, Qiaoer has his own sense of responsibility." Zhuge Liang sighed happily: "He came here for Guan Junhou. Haha, thanks to Qiaoer this time, otherwise I would be embarrassed!"
"Horse Guan Junhou? What's the matter with Mr. Guan Jun, can you get involved with Qiaoer? Husband, you have to pay attention to avoid Qiaoer..."
"Haha, don't worry, don't worry." Zhuge Liang put on a feather fan and said with a smile: "Madam, it's so good to be young."
He looked around the courtyard and felt that the flowers blooming in the courtyard were like beautiful makeup, with jumping light flashing on the petals. The sunlight shone on the pond, reflecting the shimmering waves. Occasionally, I heard the sound of thundering, which was the fish jumping.
He had a rare leisurely interest and put on a feather fan: "Madam, please follow me. You and I will enjoy watching the fish on the moat."
On October 1st, Zhuge Jin received the promise of the court in various specific matters, so he set out to return to Jiangdong. Before leaving, he confirmed again. In March next year, or at the end of this year, Liaodong and western Liaoning would inevitably be in chaos.
Since this was the case, the court's strategy for the four counties including Wuwei, Zhangye and even the Western Regions was intensively developed. First, the generals of the chariot and cavalry, Zhang Fei, returned to Hanyang in November, and then the generals such as Pang De, Ma Dai, Yang Qianwan, Dou Mao and other Qiang and Huqu generals gathered in Hanyang.
Of course, the scale of such gatherings may not be large and cannot attract special attention from the surrounding areas.
After all, after Ma Chao's death, no political force has been able to fully merge with the Liangzhou forces for a long time.
Nearly forty years ago, Bian Zhang and Han Sui led the Qiang Rebellion, which affected dozens of counties and states and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians. Large-scale battles spread from Western Liang to Sanfu. Wherever they went, the Han family's rule over Liangzhou fell apart, and the area of ​​control of the prefect appointed by the court continued to shrink, and many local governments did not leave the county town. Some prefects even died of illness and did not dare to take office.
Later, Han Sui was restrained in Guanzhong, and the rising star Ma Teng unified the Qiang and Hu. Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng, gathered many local tyrants in the northwest Qiang and Di and even east of Dunhuang to form a military alliance with far superior powers above the court.
However, Ma Chao himself has very little political mind. This military alliance is completely intimidated by his personal extraordinary courage. There is actually no system or system within it. It is a purely urgent team.
So, his prosperity was ripe and his demise suddenly. One day, Ma Chao died, and this huge military alliance immediately fell apart. The prefects of various places who were trembling under Ma Chao's military power could only live a few days of stable life.
When Ma Chao was in his prime in the early years, Cao Cao divided Liangzhou into two parts. The four counties of Wudu, Hanyang, Jincheng and Longxi were still called Liangzhou. The Hu and Han divisions of Liangzhou were all led by Ma Chao. The other northern regions, Anding, Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang, were further named Yongzhou, and were ruled by Yongzhou Governor Zhang Ji, the governor of Yongzhou, and the captain of the Qiang Hu, Su Ze and other people.
Later, the Han family infiltrated Liangzhou from Hanzhong, and then influenced Yongzhou from Liangzhou. One of the routes was to contact local forces such as Yan Jun, Jiuquan, Huang Hua, Nei Dai, Zhangye Heluan, Zhang Jin and other local forces to confront the Cao family.
These powerful men sometimes go against Ma Chao; sometimes they are under the responsibilities of generals and prefects of the court; once the situation changes, they immediately bow to the governor Zhang Ji. Zhang knew that the situation was turbulent, and he did not want to be too forced, and only wanted to be temporarily detained.
Previously, the King of Hanzhong entered Guanzhong from Hanyang, and Zhang Ji and Su Ze gathered troops in the northern region to stabilize the two counties, crossed Sheyanze and the Hus of Bingzhou to watch over each other, threatening the flanks of the Han army in Guanzhong.
The King of Hanzhong then ordered Wu Yi to lead the troops to pacify him. The two armies fought each other in Gaoping for dozens of days. When the news of the King of Wei's death in the army reached, Zhang and Su Ze sent him back to the army, indicating that he had no intention of fighting again. At that time, the King of Hanzhong was all in Chang'an, and since the two knew the interests, the Han army did not care much about themselves.
Later, the King of Hanzhong ascended the throne in Chang'an and proclaimed himself emperor. He sent envoys to Anding, and asked about Zhang and Su Zesu's achievements in the border areas of Qi, and brought the new Liangzhou governor and the Qiang lieutenant seal.
The Han court naturally disapproved the Yongzhou established by Cao. Therefore, the ten counties were still regarded as one of Liangzhou. The position of governor of Liangzhou was to put all Hanyang and other four counties in it, which was a promotion of Zhang Ji's power. However, Zhang Ji and Su Ze only treated the envoys politely, but did not accept the seal.
Afterwards, the emperor returned to Chengdu, and the situation in Liangzhou was put aside. Many people in the local area judged the situation during Guangwu. It was estimated that the Han forces would extend their hands to Lianglong and would achieve peace in the world. It was decades later.
Over the past decades, many forces in Liangzhou have been able to live a comfortable and live a happy and unrestrained life.
Winter goes and spring comes, and everything revives.
The Wei River flows through the city of Hanyang, with peanuts and trees beside the water, and grass grows and beetles are flying. Under the bright spring light, busy people are farming everywhere.
A caravan arrived here early in the pavilion, ten miles west of Hanyang City, and was making the final preparations before the official departure. The caravan was quite large, with nearly a hundred large trucks in the queue, which were heavily wrapped in thick felt cloth with countless rare Han goods such as brocade and porcelain. In addition, there were a batch of carriages, which contained food rations, mainly meat jerky, dried vegetables, scones, and drinking water in leather bags.
The caravans had Hu people and Han people.
The Hu guards were generally older, each with a frosty face. Some people obviously had the characteristics of high noses and deep noses from Western Regions. The Han guards were also fierce, with bows and knives on their backs. The accompanying cars were filled with strong crossbows and supporting parts, and spare bundles of crossbows.
These things were carefully prepared earlier, but Fu Dun still carefully counted them again.
Turning around, he muffled to a young Han clerk and said, "I'm just idle, there's no problem with these supplies. Mr. Liu, don't be nervous."
The one who was replaced by Mr. Liu was Liu Yue, the book assistant who volunteered to join the caravan in Hanyang County.
