    Zang Ba Zang Xuangao was named Kou Nu when he was young. He was originally from Hua County, Taishan County.  His father's name was Zang Jie, who served as a county jailer and was arrested for disobeying the prefect. Zang Ba was eighteen years old and led dozens of guests to rob a prison car on the road. From then on, the father and son fled to the East China Sea.  After Tao Qian was appointed as the governor of Xuzhou, Zang Ba went to surrender. Qian used his bravery and strength and was awarded the post of Cavalry Captain, allowing him to lead his troops to garrison Langye and enter Mount Tai from Langye.  In the original history, when Tao Qian was still alive, Zang Ba had already gathered his disciples and formed a semi-separatist force. After Tao Qian's death, he once belonged to Lu Bu. Later, he was invited by Cao Cao to cooperate with Lu Bu and was appointed Langye.  Prime Minister - In fact, Cao Cao entrusted the affairs of Qing and Xu states to one another.  In this timeline, because Lu Bu failed to get the chance to escape to Xuzhou, Zang Ba defected to Cao Cao earlier.  In addition, Xuzhou can be regarded as "peacefully liberated", and Zang Ba's importance in Cao Wei's regime, as well as his power in Qing and Xuzhou, are far inferior to those in the original time and space.  However, due to various historical issues, Zang Xuangao still had a separate regime in Langye County, and his power extended to Taishan in the west and Beihai and Buqi counties in the north.  Cao Cao once wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of conquering Shu to mobilize Zang Ba into Jingzhou and gradually eliminate his power, but then he failed because Pang Tong's counterattack failed - Zang Xuangao went to Jingzhou for a while and missed the war.  So he returned to his hometown smoothly.  Zang Ba has no less than 10,000 soldiers under his command. If he urgently searches Langye County, he may even get 20,000 soldiers. This is a force that cannot be underestimated.  At present, it is found that Zang Ba still stays in his base camp and governs Ju County, but his generals Sun Kang, Sun Guan, and Yin Lize led an army of seven thousand people to Rencheng via Mount Tai to meet up with Cao Zhi and Cao Kai.  In addition, Cao Chong also incited a third force, the remnants of the Sun family.  Thinking that it was Xun Xian's plan of "the southerners return to the south and the northerners return to the north", the Sun family team was dismantled. Most of the generals and officials who stayed with Sun Quan in the south of the Yangtze River lived under close surveillance, and nothing happened for the time being.  Come.  But among those who returned to Jiangbei, half of them surrendered to Cao Cao and served as officials.  Half of them returned to their hometowns to live in seclusion, and the surveillance on them was gradually relaxed, and they took advantage of this opportunity to rebel one after another.  I don¡¯t know how Cao Chong lured these people into taking the bait. In short, there was a war between Lu and Henan, including Lu Ju (Lu Fanzi) in Runan, Jiang Qin in Jiujiang, Chen Wu in Lujiang, etc. They led their guests and servants to raise troops to respond to Cao Chong.  It is precisely because of the response of the above three forces that Cao Chong, the king of Liyang, dared to be bold.  Where are you from brazenly raising the flag of rebellion?  When all the news came to the central government, and the outline of the Kanto rebellion gradually became clear, Shixun once again convened the "Enlarged Meeting of the Zhongshutai", and this time Emperor Cao Mao also specially came to listen.  Shi Xun was the first to speak, saying: "The thieves are revolting, and the smoke is spreading all over the five states of Tai, Hai, Yan, Yu, and Lu. If they attack immediately, it may not be difficult to quell them. If they gather together, I am afraid that they will be east of Songshan. It is not the imperial court.  Everything" "At present, the rebel forces are still relatively scattered. If they advance from the north to the south, join forces victoriously, and twist into a rope, it will be more difficult to handle.  Liu Ye believed: "The thieves are divided into the north and the south, and they should be divided and controlled." In the north are Cao Zhi and Cao Kai.  There is also Zang Ba's Qingxu Army, and to the south are Cao Chong, the Luzhou Tuntian soldiers, and the remnants of the Sun family. We must first cut off the connection between them as quickly as possible, and then defeat them one by one.  Shi Xun took the opportunity to start playing.  He said that Cao Hong, the auxiliary state, should be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the expedition, and he should lead his army from Yingchuan to Liang and Pei, blocking the two rebels. Then Cao Hong would mobilize Lejin and Yujin to launch a campaign against the rebels in Yan and Luzhou.  Comprehensive suppression.  When launching a military offensive, a political offensive must also be launched. Shi Xun believed: "Although Sun Kang and others have rebelled, Zang Xuangao is still in Jucheng, and his intentions are unclear. We should send envoys to find out his true intentions. If he has rebelled,  The counties of Qing and Deng should be sent to guard the roads and set up gates to prevent them from going north. If they are not rebellious yet, they should be comforted. King Anfeng (Cao Pi) of Pinghai and Tai should also send him away if his intentions are not clear.  The envoys will guard Anfeng and not join forces with the rebels." Jia Xu added the missing pieces and raised another concern: "Sun Quan is still in Kuaiji now. If Liyang Cao Chong's northward advance is blocked, he will have to cross the Yangtze River to join forces.  The Sun family's followers are spread out between Wuhui and Danyang. If one man fights against them and tens of thousands of people follow him, they may not be able to defeat them easily despite the danger of the Yangtze River.  ¡ªWe can no longer keep him in Jiangnan.  Shixun shook his head and said: "No, Sun Zhongmou may not have any intention to rebel. If you summon him urgently, it will encourage him to rebel." After all, there are many Sun family officials among the rebels. If you summon Sun Quan to Beijing now, he will  Aren't you worried that once you set foot in Luozhong, you will become a prisoner?  In my wild thoughts, I might as well say the opposite - "I can order Wei Wenchang to lead the navy south to frighten him, and then Quan will not dare to rebel." Jia Xu nodded when he heard this, and said to himself:  I have completely forgotten about the Donghai Navy The original place where Wu and Wu met was blocked by a large river in the north, like a natural chasm, Danyang County with dense hills and fierce folk customs in the west, and the vast ocean in the east. It was very convenient to close the door and be independent.  Unified, the imperial court was in the process of completely pacifying the area north of Lujiang River.Before the war, there was absolutely nothing we could do against him, so I requested to summon Sun Quan urgently - if you summon him, he might rebel, but if you don't summon him, in such a good situation, how can you guarantee that he will not rebel?  But today is different from the past. We already have a large fleet capable of crossing the sea. If Sun Quan dares to rebel, the ports of Wu and Hui will be blocked and the trade routes will be cut off. The local surnames will definitely take the initiative to tie Sun Quan to plead guilty.  As long as he still has some brains, how can he dare to rebel?  Although Jia Xu was resourceful and resourceful, he was still a traditional mainland scholar-bureaucrat. He had not paid much attention to maritime issues before - besides, this period was not like the later Yuan and Ming dynasties, where Japanese pirates often invaded coastal areas - so he could not take it into consideration.  He said in his heart that Wei Wenchang was an old official of Hongfu, and the Zhoushi was also founded by him. This aspect is indeed my shortcoming, but it is Hongfu's strength.  There is no need to elaborate on the rest of the details. In short, since the emperor was listening next to him, the ministers immediately reported the matter after making a decision. Cao Mao agreed, and Zhongshu immediately issued an edict to dispatch the generals. The efficiency was very fast.  Fearing that there would be changes in Luo, the imperial army could not send more troops. They only allocated 2,000 soldiers and horses to Cao Hong, and ordered Cao Xiu and Xia Houshang as their deputy generals to lead the army eastward. He summoned the troops from the prefectures and counties on the road.  By the time they reach Liang County and Pei County, they can gather 20,000 people.  After receiving the order, Cao Hong indeed kept his promise to Shixun and reported to Cao Mao, asking Zhuge Liang, the Minister of War, to join the army and go with him to quell the chaos.  As soon as the troops and envoys were sent out, Cao De and Hua Xin returned to Beijing one after another.  He said that the late emperor's mausoleum had been completed and the funeral ceremonies were ready, so he asked Cao Mao for permission to hold funerals regularly.  The Cao Wei period can also be considered an important transition period in the history of ancient Chinese rituals.  Han rites were originally very simple. I think Shusun Tong made rites in those days.  Liu Bang asked him to do it as convenient as possible, and not to make it too complicated, which would make other officials unable to understand it. Later, Emperor Wu deposed hundreds of schools of thought, and Emperor Yuan only respected Confucianism, so he made various rituals more and more complicated.  Cao Cao himself has always been frugal, focusing on efficiency in doing things, not focusing on flashiness, and not focusing on rituals. Therefore, during his reign, he made a large-scale simplification of old rituals.  ??In the original history, Cao Cao ordered simple ceremonies and a frugal burial before his death.  Said: "The world is not yet stable, and we have not followed the ancient times. After the burial, all the soldiers will be removed from their uniforms. Those who will garrison the troops will not be allowed to leave the garrison. There are ministers and leaders who are responsible for their duties. They should be kept in uniform and there is no gold or jade treasure hidden in them."  The scale of the mausoleum is not comparable to that of many middle-level officials in later generations - of course, the so-called seventy-two suspected tombs are all folk rumors.  But on this timeline.  After all, Cao Cao usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and the Central Plains was settled on his deathbed.  Even Xishu is declining, so it can't be too embarrassing both emotionally and rationally.  When Cao Cao was still alive, he selected good land on the outskirts of Luoyang and built a mausoleum - the location was roughly the same as that of the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, both at the foot of Beimang Mountain, but not far apart from each other.  The mausoleum is not large in scale.  So Cao De went to supervise the work after his death, and it took only a few months for it to be completely completed.  According to the Zhou rites (actually mostly made up by Han Confucians): the emperor is buried on the seventh day, the princes are buried on the fifth day, the officials and the common people are buried on the third day; the emperor is buried in the seventh month, and the princes are buried in the fifth month.  The officials, scholars and common people were buried in March.  But after all, this is just a theory that stays in books. With the preservation technology of this era, if the coffin is really closed in July, it is likely that after the summer, it will be as smelly as Qin Shihuang and need abalone to cover it up.  Moreover, according to the research documents of Hua Xin and others, the time from death to burial for the emperors of the Han Dynasty was twenty-three days for Emperor Gaozu and twenty-four days for Emperor Hui The shortest was Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, which was only seven days, and the longest was no more than Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty.  Just three months.  So, we don¡¯t need to stop the spirit for seven months.  Cao Cao died in winter, and his body was not expected to rot quickly. The original plan was to wait until the kings arrived in Beijing to pay their respects, and then the funeral would be held.  Now the king of Yuzhong, Cao Ang, has entered Henan, and he is expected to enter Luo in another two or three days. As for the kings of Guandong the edict has been issued long ago, but they have not yet come, and in response to the sudden warning of war, they are probably not willing to do so.  Here we are, so Hua Xin would like to ask, it has been more than three months since the death of the late Emperor. When should we pay our respects?  Cao Mao sent Si Tiantai to watch the stars and choose a day, nine days later, on February 16th to bury Cao Cao.  But unexpectedly, the decree had just been issued and Cao Ang had not arrived yet. First, a carriage came from Anfeng and rushed into the south gate of Luoyang It turned out that the news of Cao Cao's death reached Anfeng that day. Cao Pi was in mourning and hurriedly packed his bags.  , planning to go to Luoyang for the funeral.  During the preparation process, he suddenly received a letter from Cao Chong and an envoy sent to lobby him.  Cao Chong said that he was willing to serve Cao Pi as his master. If he could successfully seize power in the future, he would support Cao Pi on the throne. He only wanted to make his vassal country bigger.  Cao Pi then summoned his close advisors, and Zhu Shuo said: "The king has no bad virtues, but he actually resigned from the crown prince position. This villain has set up a trap because the late emperor did not know the reason. Although it is not the initiative of the emperor to combine the throne with the king, King Liyang please entrust him.  The opportunity cannot be missed - but with our power, what are the chances of winning? I dare not lie. " Cao Pi has been playing the role for many years, both in the original history and in this timeline.The filial son of Cao Cao is actually a complete illusion. This person has a relatively cold nature. In addition, he has long expected that Cao Cao will only be in the past two years, so he is sad but not completely confused.  He told Zhu Shuo: "According to what Zi Yingshi said, Yan, Tai, Hai, and Lu all rose up at the same time and they all turned against each other. The emperor was young and weak, and his assistants were all mediocre officials and warriors. It was Hong Fu who attacked Shu and did not return.  , if something unexpected happens, if the army moves quickly, things may be possible" At this point, there is another twist: "However, the person who trapped me and harmed Ziwen in the past may be Ziying, so he wears it.  How can I trust my lonely heart? If he incites me to rebel and seize him, I will not be afraid of dying alone, but I am afraid of making people laugh for eternity. "Now the leader is Cao Chong, and he is the one who contacts all the forces."  I don¡¯t know how long ago that little guy started planning and preparing - he just carried me out as a flag, and it would not be difficult for him to get rid of me in the future.  If the rebellion fails, it will inevitably mean "death". I am not afraid of death. I am afraid that making wedding clothes for others will make me the laughing stock of the world.  Zhu Shuo spread his hands and said: "King Liyang is still a young man. He is not as good as the king who once followed the late emperor. He traveled across the battlefield and knew the military affairs well. When the two armies join together, they want to seize his control. It's only up to the king. Why is it so hard? I, your Majesty Dan.  I am afraid that even if the king refuses to obey, he will also spread the news and conspire with the king. If you want to clear yourself, you will not be able to get it. If you obey, you will die, if you don't obey, you will die. If you follow, you can still hope to transform your family.  For the sake of the country, your Majesty, please think twice." As soon as he finished speaking, someone protested: "If your Majesty listens to Zhu Yancai's ignorant and rebellious words, your family will be destroyed!"
