"Uh!" In the blink of an eye, Luo Yang's four advisers all expressed their opinions, and they were completely opposite to Luo Yang's own thoughts. Luo Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Fortunately, he didn't express his opinions first, otherwise, this person would
But Dafa was lost! Immediately, Luo Yang temporarily suppressed the random thoughts in his heart and asked: "All the princes agreed to take Yizhou first. What is the reason?"
The four of Xi Zhicai looked at each other and smiled, while Jia Xu immediately shrank back, as if he had never made a sound. Cheng Yu was the one who answered Luo Yang's question. After all, he was the first to put forward his opinion.
Luo Yang also asked him. Cheng Yu saluted everyone and said: "My Lord! There are two reasons why my subordinates think that Yizhou should be taken first: First, Yizhou is stronger than Hanzhong! The land of Bashu has always been
It is so rich that Emperor Gaozu used this place as his foundation and gathered his strength to defeat Xiang Yu in one fell swoop! The soldiers of Bashu and the Dongzhou soldiers Liu Yan recruited from Jingzhou a few years ago were all elite soldiers! On the other hand, Hanzhong, although Hanzhong belongs to Yizhou, but
Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong, has always been at odds with Liu Yan. Su Gu has been gradually ignored by Zhang Lu and others sent by Liu Yan. If Yizhou is defeated, all the land in Hanzhong will be surrendered!"
Luo Yang nodded. Now Zhang Lu is not the prefect of Hanzhong. Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong, is an official sent by the Han Dynasty. He is in the same position as Zhang Lu, who controls the Five Pecks of Rice Taoism in Hanzhong. This Su Gu is not an ordinary person. As soon as he arrives in Hanzhong, he will
How could Zhang Lu, who had mastered the military power in Hanzhong and had only civilian believers under his command, be Su Gu's opponent? But since Liu Yan entered Yizhou, Zhang Lu relied on Liu Yan, his great backer, to push Su Gu.
They must be retreating steadily! If Luo Yang defeated Liu Yan, Zhang Lu would not have strong reinforcements, so he would not be Su Gu's opponent! Luo Yang helped Su Gu defeat the enemy. As long as Su Gu was not a fool, he would definitely surrender to Luo Yang.
!
"Second!" Cheng Yu continued: "That is, there is an opportunity for Yizhou to take advantage of now!"
"Can we take advantage of this opportunity?" Luo Yang didn't quite understand what Cheng Yu meant by this, but neither Zhicai nor Guo Jia had any surprised expressions on their faces after watching the show. I'm afraid they already knew about this! Uh.
, As for Jia Xu, Luo Yang had to admit that his head was too low and he couldn't see his expression at all!
Not only Luo Yang, but also Huang Zhong and other generals were confused. Cheng Yu smiled, glanced at Xi Zhicai, and said to Xi Zhicai: "Master Xi! I think you will do it next.
Please explain it more clearly! After all, it was you, Mr. Xi, who came up with this plan!"
Since Cheng Yu said this, Xi Zhicai did not refuse, nodded, and said to everyone: "My lord! Everyone! When talking about this matter, we have to start from when Liu Yan first entered Sichuan a few years ago.
!I wonder if my lord and you all still remember the Ma Xiang Rebellion?"
As soon as Ma Xiang Xi Zhicai mentioned this matter, Luo Yang, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Zhou Cang, Liu Pi and Gong Du and several southern generals immediately remembered a past event, while Zhao Yun, Gao Shun and others seemed to be a little confused.
I have an impression, but I can’t remember it. Speaking of the Ma Xiang Rebellion, it was a rebellion that took place in Yizhou a few years ago. It was led by Yizhou farmers Ma Xiang and Zhao Da, and later mixed with the local Banzhen barbarians.
, once conquered four major counties in Yizhou, and the number of rebels was as high as one hundred thousand! Even the governor of Yizhou at the time was killed by the rebels! It was precisely because of this that Liu Yan later had the opportunity to get this vacancy!
Huang Zhong and Gan Ning knew this because they had been staying in Jingzhou. It was because of the Ma Xiang Rebellion that Gan Ning's family fled from Yizhou to Jingzhou! At that time, the Ma Xiang Rebellion shocked Luoyang.
The capital, Luo Yang, also heard about it because of this. As for Zhou Cang, Liu Pi, and Gong, they all knew about it, but it was because of Ma Xiang that when Zhao Dai rebelled, he did so in the name of the Yellow Turban Uprising.
In addition, both Liu Pi and Gong once wanted to lead their troops to conquer this army!
But it is a pity that although the Ma Xiang Rebellion developed very smoothly at the beginning, and even the leader of the rebellion, Ma Xiang, had already proclaimed himself emperor! However, it soon ushered in the counterattack of the local Yizhou family, and Yizhou
The Yizhou family headed by Jia Long suppressed the rebel army before Liu Pi and Gong Du rushed to Yizhou! In fact, the Ma Xiang Rebellion was related to what happened in Youzhou the year before last.
Zhang Ju's rebellion was somewhat similar, and both ended up being suppressed by the local government!
The generals who didn't know about this suddenly realized it after Huang Zhong and Gan Ning's explanation, but they didn't understand why Xi Zhi suddenly mentioned this old incident. Could it be that the opportunity Cheng Yu just said was related to this matter?
Xi Zhicai went on to explain: "When the governor of Yizhou was killed, the imperial court appointed Liu Yan to take over as the governor of Yizhou. However, Liu Yan was not stupid. At that time, the Ma Xiang Rebellion was in full swing, and even Chengdu was
The rebel army was defeated! Liu Yan's running to Yizhou was no different than risking his death! So Liu Yan stopped in Jingzhou, and at the same time, using his status as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, he gathered many talents to follow him!
Among them were Dong Fu and Zhao Wei who originally escaped from Yizhou. These people were originally descendants of Yizhou aristocratic families. They were summoned by Liu Yan to his side, and naturally they became Liu Yan's subordinates! Liu Yan summoned these people,
The purpose is to deal with those rebels! But I never thought that without Liu Yan entering Sichuan, Prime Minister Ma would be defeated by Jia Long and others!"
This was the first time for Luo Yang to hear about these things. When he was in Luoyang City, he only heard about the Ma Xiang Rebellion in Yizhou. Then the newly appointed Yizhou Governor Liu Yan entered Sichuan and immediately put down the rebellion and established a good foundation for the country.
In addition, the late emperor also sent a special order to commend this imperial uncle!
"Of course, when encountering such a good thing, Liu Yan was too late to be happy, so he immediately went to Sichuan and took over the position of governor of Yizhou! With Liu Yan's methods, he quickly won over the major families in Yizhou.
Zhou has gained a firm foothold! But Liu Yan ignored one thing. Even if they are both Yizhou aristocratic families, there are still many conflicts between the aristocratic families! Since the year before last, this part of the family represented by Jia Long
The Yizhou family had many conflicts with the Yizhou family represented by Dong Fu and Zhao Wei, and even if Liu Yan was there to mediate, it didn't have much effect!"
"Haha!" Suddenly, Cheng Yu laughed, interrupting Xi Zhicai's words. Cheng Yu smiled and said: "Liu Yan intervened? The subordinates thought that this was just a show by Liu Yan.
!I am afraid that the conflict between Jia Long, Dong Fu, and Zhao Wei was caused by Liu Yan! But Liu Yan is very proficient in this balancing act!"
"Uh!" Everyone was stunned by Cheng Yu's sudden words. The art of weighing, to put it bluntly, is not the art of the emperor's mind! Luo Yang thought secretly in his heart, it seems that Liu Yan is just worried about his thoughts.
Not small! But Cheng Yu, who is also worthy of being a professional in officialdom, was able to see Liu Yan's thoughts so thoroughly! What a chilling insight!
Xi Zhicai did not comment on Cheng Yu's words and continued: "In any case, the two aristocratic families in Yizhou are already at odds with each other! In addition, Liu Yan has been in conflict with the war in recent years.
The civilians from Jingzhou and the north who fled to Yizhou formed the Dongzhou soldiers. The generals of these Dongzhou soldiers formed their own faction. The three parties fought fiercely! Although Liu Yan suppressed them, they could not cause any trouble.
, but if we attack Yizhou at this time, it will inevitably cause chaos in Yizhou. By then, it will be easy for us to capture Yizhou!"
At this time, Guo Jia also continued: "On the contrary! If we attack Hanzhong first, we will help Liu Yan and get rid of the thorn in his side, Su Gu, so that he can free up his hands to deal with other things! Secondly, we will help Liu Yan.
Come on, let's scare the snake away. With Liu Yan's methods, he will definitely suppress the three factions under him so that he can concentrate on dealing with us!" As he said that, Guo Jia glanced at Luo Yang with a half-smile, as if he had seen through it.
Understand Luo Yang’s previous thoughts!
When Guo Jia looked at him like this, Luo Yang couldn't help but blush, and he couldn't get angry. He could only cough a few times in embarrassment, and said seriously: "The advice of these gentlemen is very reasonable! Then we will follow this method.
Come and do it! And all the generals! Now that we have set a goal, we have to ask the generals to make more preparations when they go back. In one month, we will raise our troops and attack Yizhou!"
"Here!" Everyone stood up, bowed to Luo Yang, and shouted in unison.
After handling these matters, Luo Yang waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat. Luo Yang ignored everyone and turned around and walked back, going straight to the study in the backyard. Not long after entering the study,
I heard Li Gui shouting outside the study: "Lord! Lord Jia, please see me!"
"Well! Let him come in!" The only one under Luo Yang who called "Master Jia" was Jia Xu. Luo Yang didn't find it strange that Jia Xu came to visit suddenly, and responded with a natural expression.
He asked Li Gui to bring Jia Xu in, and Luo Yang himself sat directly above the study room.
Soon, the study door creaked open, and Jia Xu walked in quickly with small steps. But behind Jia Xu, Li Gui stood at the door, not forgetting to open the study door.
It was sealed. After Jia Xu came in, he took two steps forward, knelt down towards Luo Yang and shouted: "I will join you, my lord!"
"Well!" Luo Yang's expression was neither salty nor indifferent, and he was obviously a little unhappy, but Luo Yang still held back his anger and said calmly: "Mr. Jia, I don't know what I have entrusted you to do. Please handle it now."
How's it going?"
Luo Yang did not let Jia Xu get up. Jia Xu naturally did not dare to raise his body. He just knelt there and said to Luo Yang: "Return to my lord! I have already asked General Liu Pi and General Gong Du for the manpower needed! The whole team has been asked for it!"
The organization has started to operate, and thanks to my lord, the current situation is going very smoothly!"
