After discussing Liu Bei's national name, Liu Xie summoned Jia Xu, Yu Fan and others to focus on Liu Bei's war discipline.
In order to facilitate discussion, Yu Fan arranged Lu Gong, Xu Shu and others to make a sand table.
When the war yards representing the generals are placed on the sand table, and as the situation of the battle changes, the battlefield situation becomes intuitive.
There is an explanation for why Liu Bei fought so smoothly.
This group of people is difficult to fight, and they are both offensive and defensive.
Zhang Fei and Zhang He are good at attacking. Zhang Fei Meng is good at attacking. Zhang He is good at attacking. Zhang He is good at attacking. The two of them cooperate alternately and are invincible.
Tian Yu, who was good at guarding the wings of Liu Bei, firmly protected Liu Bei's left and right wings, and provided reinforcements to Zhang Fei and Zhang He in time.
Zhao Yunzhe commanded the central army and followed Liu Bei to act as the reserve force for the entire army.
In front of them, Mahan suffered heavy damage and was defeated one after another, which was reasonable.
In contrast, Yuan Xi was not very consistent with the rankings on the military merit book. His position was almost unchanged, and he was always in the middle and rear.
It should have been that all the contributions of Zhang He and others were transferred to his name, which allowed him to take the first prize.
From this we can speculate that Zhang He's contribution may be greater than what he wrote, but for Yuan Xi, he had to move backwards.
"It seems that the battle to fight Goguryeo has benefited Zhang He a lot." Yu Fan stroked his beard and said with some regret: "This person's ability to use military forces is better than Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but he is still dragged down by his family background."
Everyone was silent and no one answered Yu Fan's topic.
No matter what, Zhang He was Yuan Shao's old subordinate after all, and he rebelled with Shen Pei. When he surrendered, someone suggested to the emperor to keep Zhang He, Gao Lan, but was rejected by the emperor and exiled to the overseas world.
Now that I say this, wouldn’t it mean that the emperor missed it?
Jia Xu slowly took up the topic. "Since he is a famous general, he should be a battlefield for war. The Central Plains has been decided, and only overseas is the world where they show their skills. Although Zhang He has wasted his time, he can now compete with Liu Bei to fight against the Three Hans.
Get what you want."
Yu Fan agreed and then laughed again. "With these good generals accompanying the battle, I think it won't take long before Liu Bei can pacify the three Koreans and march into Japan, and the great scholars will also have a place to use their skills. So many barbarians are enough for them to be busy for a while.
of."
Everyone laughed knowingly.
Liu Xie also smiled, but felt a little weird in his heart.
In the military merit book, not only the names of Zhang Fei, Zhang He and others, but also scholars such as Chen Lin and Zhuge Jin. Considering the little thoughts behind the national name, the influence of Confucian scholars who followed Liu Bei's eastward expedition should not be underestimated.
Once the war is over, the soldiers will release Ma Nanshan and the Confucian scholars will be stronger.
At that time, will they regard themselves as little Chinese, think that the Confucian orthodox is there, and even compete with the Central Plains for Taoism?
According to his understanding of Confucian scholars, this is completely possible.
However, they will not succeed.
In the face of the huge gap in strength, their pitiful strength cannot support their self-esteem.
Orthodox Confucianism can maintain its status and maintain stability, but cannot achieve true prosperity. If we consider the extravagance and waste caused by Confucianism's heavy etiquette, the society under their leadership will inevitably move towards a differentiation between the rich and the poor, and eventually fail to make ends meet and finances will be exhausted.
The Eastern Han Dynasty is an example that is close to you, and the later Song and Ming dynasties were the same.
The reason why the Han and Tang Dynasties was that Confucian scholars failed to achieve full control of society and could maintain the martial spirit.
"Tell me about Yuan Xi." Liu Xie waved his hand and pulled back to the point.
No matter what the reason was, since Liu Bei raised Yuan Xi so high, the court could not sit idly by and would inevitably give corresponding rewards.
As soon as he said that, many people looked solemn.
This is a serious issue, not only Yuan Xi himself, but also related to the Yuan family in Runan.
Specifically, they are those former disciples and officials of Yuan family who originally followed Yuan Shao.
If you guess well, Yuan Xi's contribution to such great achievements is closely related to the former official of Yuan's disciple who followed him.
Reward Yuan Xi means that the court’s apology for this situation will lead to more Yuan’s disciples and former officials gathering in Zhongshan. Whether hidden dangers will be left is a strategic issue that must be considered.
Yu Fan is the most straightforward and first shows his attitude.
He suggested that Liu Xie reward according to the military merit book. First, respect Liu Bei's opinions and establish Liu Bei's authority as the king of Zhongshan; second, he also encouraged the dissatisfied Yuan family to go out to sea.
Since they have reached this point, they are still unwilling to give up the righteousness of the monarch and subject with Yuan Shao. Instead of staying in the Central Plains and becoming a hidden danger, it is better to let them go out to sea and forget each other in the world.
As for Zhongshan, it is overseas anyway, and even if something happens, the impact will be limited.
In other words, treat Zhongshan Kingdom as an enlarged Bohai Sea.
Jia Xu supported Yu Fan's view and added another one.
The situation of Zhongshan Kingdom can be informed of the world, so that everyone knows the court's mind, and those who miss Yuan Shao can go. At the same time, it can also prompt Yizhou to be the subject of the vassal.
Let's go to the book
The art of war is about siege three vasses and one vassal, and no chasing the enemy, and the same is true in politics.
Giving uncooperatives a way out is better than forcing them to resist.
The Taiwei and the martial arts hall had an agreement on the wine sacrificial ceremony, so the others had nothing to say. After adding some details, the plan was decided.
Liu Xie accepted this plan and immediately ordered someone to draft an edict, and published the military merit book reported by Liu Bei in the mansion newspaper simultaneously.
As Jia Xu and Yu Fan said, Liu Bei's good news from the Eastern Expedition not only gave ordinary people a topic of discussion, but also gave those who had remnant thoughts about Yuan Shao a hope. There are also many unsuccessful people who take advantage of the situation, saying that they will not leave their master here,
If Master Liu goes, I will go to Zhongshan Kingdom to serve the King of Zhongshan.
Liu Xie never looked at this type of person directly.
He is more concerned about Yizhou.
On the 28th day of the 12th lunar month, a fast horse rushed into Wancheng and brought news from Yizhou.
Liu Zhang, the governor of Yizhou, personally rushed to Luo County and handed over the surrender to Sun Rui, a marquis of the Northern Army. Sun Rui accepted the surrender and led his troops into Chengdu. He raised the battle flag of the Han Dynasty in Chengdu and announced that Yizhou
The separatist state ends.
Liu Zhang and others were already on the way to Wancheng.
Shi Sun Rui suggested preferential treatment of Liu Zhang to weaken the resistance in southern Yizhou and reduce the resistance to education. A large number of scholars have been concentrated in Chengdu and can enter the southern counties and promote education only after the imperial court has issued an order.
The war has ended, but the pace of education cannot stop. Taking local people as the main force and promoting the great cause of education will not only benefit the stability of Yizhou, but also accelerate the process of education, killing two birds with one stone.
After reading Shi Sun Rui's memorial, Liu Xie understood Shi Sun Rui's implication.
He had reached an agreement with the Chengdu tribes, which would give them the reward they deserve. At the same time, he did not want Zhang Ji to stay in Yizhou, nor did he want Zhang Ji to be responsible for the war in the southern part of Yizhou.
The world needs peace, the Yizhou gentry needs opportunities, and he himself needs the first merit.
I have to say that his eyes were poisonous and he had a clear understanding of the imperial court's pulse, and knew that Liu Xie was unwilling to Zhang Ji to make another great contribution.
So, after discussing with the three officials, after going through the process, Shi Sun Rui's request was approved.
Shi Sun Rui temporarily stationed in Chengdu and was appointed as the governor of Yizhou, and was in charge of Yizhou's Dutian affairs.
Zhang Ji's ministry withdrew from Jiangnan to rest and began to prepare for the march to Jiaozhou.
