Chapter 70 Wall Loss Outside Wall Supplement

In the first year of Huanglong, in 211 A.D., Cao Liu saw that the Second World War came to an end. The two sides guarded their original boundaries on the eastern front, while Guanzhong and Hanzhong, Wei Guang and Anding counties were captured by Sima Yi. Until the chaos until the end of spring, Pang Tong was shot to death by Zhang Renfu's bow and arrow hand when he attacked Lucheng. Liu Pan was then killed by Zhao Feng. At this point, all the turmoil came to an end.

In Chengdu, Zhuge Liang and Huang Quan, who had not seen each other for months, were slightly relieved after seeing Zhao Feng. Not only because he, the backbone, came back, but also because he brought back the main force of the Sichuan army. In this way, the original state of overstretched troops will be better.

"Kong Ming, when I'm away, thanks to you for Xichuan!" After learning about the latest situation, Zhao Feng also said a few polite words. Zhuge Liang said with a wry smile when he heard the words: "The general's words are heavy. Now that Hanzhong has been lost, the three counties of Longxi have been lost, and the contact with Xiliang can only take the Wenshan Mountain Road. It's lucky that the general doesn't blame me. How dare he make contributions!"

"Kong Ming, you don't have enough troops, which is also a helpless thing. Fortunately, the lord has returned to Xuchang. After a rest and recuperation, we can wave our army to the north again in a few years and fight with Cao Wei. Zhao Feng was half comforting and half encouraging. Everyone said a few more words, but Huang Quan sighed, "This Sima Yi saw the opportunity quickly. He actually took the opportunity to occupy Guanzhong and Hanzhong. At present, he is also a prince, and his strength should not be underestimated."

"Ha ha, Gong Heng, you made a mistake. Sima Yi now looks very beautiful, but in fact, he is self-destructing. Zhao Feng smiled and said that as soon as he said this, it was not only Huang Quan, but also Wang Lei and Ma Yan who were a little puzzled, but Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and understood something.

"What does the general mean by this?" It was Qin Mi who asked. Zhao Feng did not sell his guanzi, but said directly to everyone, "Now Sima Yi occupies Guanzhong and Hanzhong, which seems to occupy the foundation of the pre-Qin and Gaozu's career. However, when Gao Zu and the pre-Qin started their business, the world was in chaos, and the princes fought in a melee, so that they could send troops from the customs and occupy the world. But now the confrontation between the lord and Cao Wei has been formed. Although Sima Yi's strength is fast, he is too weak after all. Whether it is the lord or Cao Wei, he can't afford to provoke either of them. He can only take advantage of the time when the two are fighting. But with me waiting here at the present, I'm sorry that he has nothing to do. Zhao Feng said lightly.

"What the general means is that although Sima Yi acted this time and gained a moment of benefits, he exposed himself?" After all, Ma Qian's mind is relatively flexible, and he can understand Zhao Feng's meaning with a little meditation. Zhao Feng nodded. This is also the conclusion he made after discussing with Liu Bei before he left Xu Chang. It was the night before he left Xuchang, and Liu Bei drank a drink alone with him as usual. Of course, compared with the previous one, the atmosphere is relatively relaxed. With three glasses of wine, Liu Bei asked Zhao Feng what he thought of Sima Yi.

"This son is also a demon!" Zhao Fengsuo's surname borrowed from Di Renjie's evaluation of Yuan Tiang in history, and Liu Bei also thought it was quite appropriate. However, after seeing that Zhao Feng was quite afraid of Sima Yi, Liu Bei did think that he was a little unfounded.

"I dare not boast about anything else, but I still have some understanding of people. This time, Sima Yi took advantage of His Majesty's death to sweep Guanzhong and Hanzhong for a while. But I think he acts more than a conspiracy and a lack of righteousness. It should be noted that governing the country is like cooking fresh food, paying attention to the proportion of fire. Now Sima Yi is blindly cheating, I'm afraid it's hard to become a big weapon. Liu Bei said thoughtfully.

"What the Lord said is very true!" Zhao Feng listened to Liu Bei's words and recalled that the Sima family in history was indeed more than gloomy, lacked atmosphere, and had little talent. In the end, before the country became a climate, it began to pinch inside and cheap the barbarians for nothing.

"Now that Pang Shiyuan is plotting rebellion, Jing Xiangshi is inevitably uneasy. After a while, I'm going to transfer Kong Ming to Xu Chang. Liu Bei said. After thinking about it again, Liu Bei said again, "Now Sima Yi occupies Guanzhong and Hanzhong. If he wants to enter the army, the direction of the army is nothing more than Xichuan or Sili. Sili is still under Cao's rule, and there is nothing we can do. But Xichuan has you, so it's up to you to deal with Sima Yi! After that, if you use troops in Hanzhong or Guanzhong, you can act cheaply and don't need to ask me.

"Lord, this?" Zhao Feng never expected that Liu Bei would give such a task to himself. How can Sima Yi be easy to deal with? It's just that Liu Bei didn't seem to care, but he just said to himself, "This Sima Yi's conspiracy is more than enough. Bo Tao, you are delicate, but you are frank. Except for you, no one can deal with this person. I confronted Cao Mengde here, and it was difficult to pull out my strength to deal with Guanzhong for a while, so it's up to you to deal with Sima Yi first!" Seeing that Zhao Feng seemed to have some confidence, Liu Bei couldn't help saying, "What's the matter, Bo Tao, are you more afraid of this person?"

"Exactly!" Zhao Feng did not deny his fear of this person who dragged Zhuge Liang to death in history. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei was really a little funny when he heard the words and said, "Bo Tao, you think highly of this person too much. Sima Yi is fine. What about Sun Zhongmou, who is in the east of the Yangtze River?" After saying this, Zhao Feng was shocked.

Yes, why should I be afraid of Sima Yi? In history, he was also forced by Zhuge Liang to almost die in the upper valley. If Cao Shuang hadn't been too sloppy, would it have been his turn to be arrogant? Now with myself, with so many civil and military generals in Xichuan and Xiliang, can't you deal with this Sima Yi? Thinking of this, Zhao Feng was also a little funny about his previous uneasiness. Later, he thought about it. It should be because he had a fear of Sima Yi subconsciously, because he was too yin.

Although Liu Bei did not say it clearly, Zhao Feng understood what he meant, that is, Sima Yi left it to him to clean up. After understanding this, Zhao Feng also prepared quickly. Unfortunately, Lao Liu and Lao Cao were both defeated, so that they didn't have a rest for three or two years. I'm afraid it's difficult to start the war again. After losing Hanzhong, Xichuan's strength also decreased sharply. Even if Xiliang is added, it can only be regarded as the same as Sima Yi's strength. Zhao Feng has a long way to go to defeat this opponent. But he clearly felt the urgency of time. It had been six years since he promised Zuo Ci's promise. The current form is not clear, but more chaotic because of Sima Yi's intervention. Zhao Feng doesn't want to be busy with people all his life.

In addition to the rise of Sima Yi, the death of Emperor Xian of Han also brought quite a lot of feelings to Zhao Feng. Although it is a puppet, as the supreme emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, he is actually killed in the wild. It can be seen that human life in troubled times is too easy to lose. As a general, Zhao Feng himself, no matter how well-planned and brave he fought, he was likely to be killed by a streamer of unknown origin like Xia Houyuan. After thinking about this, he is more concerned about his relatives. Zhao Feng believes that if the world is peaceful at this time, he will definitely step down immediately without hesitation, and then accompany his relatives to enjoy the joy of that day. It's just that now is not the time for me to slack off.

"General, this year, due to Sima Yi's crime, the harvest of Zitong and the two counties of Brazil has been greatly affected. I'm afraid that the tax can only be collected by 50% or 60%. However, Li Deang has leveled most of the Southern Central Committee. According to the registration of the book last year, Zhu Di and Xinggu have added more than 30,000 households. Although the tax can't be collected this year, it can be collected next year. While comparing the household registration book in his hand, Zhuge reported in detail.

"It's not bad. Have the drifters of Nanzhong just been settled? Don't levy taxes for the time being." After thinking about it, Zhao Feng continued to ask, "How is the situation in the army?"

"At present, there are more than 90,000 people in the Sichuan army. In addition, there are about 40,000 county soldiers in Brazil and other places, and the field soldiers in Nanzhong. Huang Quan reported on the side. Zhao Feng roughly calculated that the population of Xichuan was only about 1.5 million. The county soldiers and Tuntian soldiers could be self-sufficient. They relied on the people alone to raise more than 90,000 troops. Although they did not reach the limit, it was almost the same.

"It's still too slow!" Zhao Feng muttered in his heart. It takes a year to recuperate, and then more than a year after the recruitment training. If it goes on like this, which year can we fight again? Of course, he also knew that it was not only him at this time, but also Liu Bei and Cao Jian who were working hard to restore their vitality. Especially the latter, after losing the barrier at once, it was difficult to seize the barrier for a while, so I worked hard from somewhere else.

In May, General Xiahou Dun was ordered to lead the army out of Liaodong to fight against the Three Koreas. In June, Xiahou Dun broke through the three Koreans and supported 120,000 troops from Yu, Goguryeo and other countries. Millions of grains and fodder from various countries, as well as about 300,000 households of people, moved to Bingzhou and Qingzhou for military reclamation. In this battle, Cao Wei got great benefits. There is a way to make up for the loss inside the wall and outside the wall. In this way, Cao Wei made up for the loss caused by the loss with the fastest speed. Even if he couldn't make up for it completely, he regained most of his anger.

With such a good thing, Liu Bei will naturally not let Cao Wei be beautiful. Under the expedition of Huo Jun, the general of Yi, who was stationed in Yizhou, several Baiyue ethnic groups in Yizhou who began to sent last year asked Huo Jun to beat him half to death. Under the instructions of Liu Bei, Huo Jun did not engage in the massacre, but sent more than 10,000 young men and more than 30,000 families of Baiyue people to Jiangdong and Yuzhou by ship in batches, enriching the place and also reducing the pressure on the Central Plains. ( Note: In history, Sun Quan did get thousands of people from Taiwan, but it was recorded that he only did it once.) But compared with Cao Qian, this benefit is a dimere. Liu Bei was sighing that he did not have a soft persimmon neighbor like Sanhan. At this time, Wu Ju, the new Jiaozhou assassin, came to report that he was a Cham people in Jiaozhi and Yulin. Under the leadership of Ruan Fugui, the leader of the Cham people, he killed the county magistrates of Xiangshan and other counties while Liu Bei and Cao Qian were fighting. Moreover, Ruan Fugui also established his own country, claimed to be the king, and even issued an "edict" to ask Wu Ju to worship. Although Jiaozhou originally had 50,000 troops, most of them had just been transferred by Huo Jun to attack the Baiyue people in Yizhou. In addition to the shortage of troops, Wu Ju had to stick to Cangwu, and then sent someone to inform Liu Bei as soon as possible.

Someone sent pillows when he just wanted to sleep. Liu Bei, who was worried about how to replenish his strength, heard that the Cham people were in trouble at this time, and finally found an excellent reason to clean them up to supplement their resources. It was just a little excited, but Liu Bei found that it was really tricky for the Cham people to make trouble this time.

"The people of the Cham people live in Yulin, Jiaozhi and other places. These people live as clans, very exclusive, and mostly live in the mountains and forests, so they have constant friction with the Han people. In Xuchang City, Shi Guangyuan, the former governor of Jiaozhou, and Shi Guangyuan, the general of Zhonglang, and Xu Jing, the three officials who were most familiar with Jiaozhou affairs, were all summoned by Liu Bei to discuss the matter. Just now, Shi Guangyuan was reporting the situation with Liu Bei.

"How many of these Cham people are there?" After listening to this, Liu Bei immediately asked this question.

"The people of the Cham people have not been registered, so they can't know the exact number. But among the two counties of Yulin and Jiaozhi, there are more Cham people than Han people, but it is certain. Shi Guangyuan opened his mouth. Liu Bei was really moved by this. You should know that although the population of Jiaozhou is mainly concentrated in the South China Sea and Gaoliang and Cangwu, the Han people in these two counties have definitely exceeded 200,000. If there is really a large number of Cham people there, if they can be successfully incorporated, wouldn't it be a great help?

"Zhong Si (the character of Shiwu), Guangyuan, Wenxiu, you have all been in Jiaozhou. What are your opinions on pacving the chaos of the Cham people?" Liu Bei suppressed his excitement a little and turned to the two of them. I don't want the three of you to look at me. I look at you. Finally, Shi Guangyuan said, "Lord, when the minister is in Jiaozhou, these Cham people often make trouble. Although they are afraid of military revolution, once you are a little weak, you will turn against your back again. It's a headache!"

"Mr. Shi said that it was not bad. When my brother was in Jiaozhou, these Cham people often embarrassed my brother. Although the Shi family is known to be located in Lingnan, the real control is only the counties of Cangwu, the South China Sea and Gaoliang. Shiwu is also a little helpless.

"As for the former Sun's occupation of Jiaozhou, he once used General Zhao's method against Shanyue to recruit and suppress the people of the Zhan people. After defeating several small tribes, the Cham people did not dare to be tenacious and surrendered one after another. But if you want to pacve the Cham people in one fell swoop, you have never done it in Jiaozhou for six years!" Xu Jing concluded in the end.

Liu Bei digested the words of the three people a little. Considering the well-known problems of Jiaozhou miasma, he immediately found that it was not easy to calm down the Zhan people. Just when he had a headache, Zhuge Liang, who had just come to Xuchang as a military division, smiled and said, "Lord, don't worry. If you protect one person, you will be able to completely calm down the matter of the state."

"Who?" Liu Bei asked hurriedly.

"General Zhao!" Zhuge Liang smiled and then explained in detail: "General Zhao once pacified the east of the Yangtze River. He has a lot of experience in how to deal with these barbarians. In addition, there are many miasma in Lingnan, but the Wudang Flying Army, the Wuqian Flying Army and even the Shanyue Army are all from the mountains, which are better at preventing these. And these two flying armies were also founded by General Zhao. He led them to destroy the people of the Cham people, such as Ruan Fugui. How can it be!

"It makes sense!" Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard the words and quickly sent someone to Xichuan to order Zhao Feng to come to Xuchang to listen. Of course, what he didn't expect was that Zhao Feng was more excited than him after knowing the news.
