    In the spring of the first year of Huangchu, in a trance, it seemed to give people the illusion that the chaotic times of the late Han Dynasty had reappeared in the land of China. There were wars and beacon smoke billowing across the land. Except for the core of Cao Wei's Sili Xiaowei Department, almost all states had large-scale riots.  , varying degrees of unrest.  ??In fact, this is also expected.  The Central Plains is in the process of being settled, and the sediments of the past have not yet been washed away, so they will inevitably reappear. Moreover, the death of Cao Cao, a generation of strong men, also ignited the desire for adventure among countless careerists or just scholars during the transition of power.  This is what Shi Xun often refers to as the "second generation bottleneck."  In the Western Regions, Lu Bu fought fiercely with the Shule and Dawan coalition forces near Wensu and Weitou. Due to lack of money and food, he sent Guo Mandong back to Liangzhou to demand tribute from Zhang Ji, the governor of Liangzhou.  Zhang Ji refused and said, "King Lu is a minister of our court and should pay tribute to the emperor. How can there be any reason to ask for tribute in return?" It happened that at this time, news of Cao Cao's death came, so Lu Bu stayed behind in Yiwu.  The general Hou Cheng immediately sent his troops to Dunhuang and looted it wantonly.  At that time, many soldiers from Liangzhou followed Su Ze and others to the south of Sichuan. Before they could all return to their homeland, Hou Cheng slaughtered Dunhuang and left.  Zhang Ji sent the report to Luoyang and received the approval of the emperor. He could quickly send the Liangzhou army back to the state and appointed Su Ze as the governor of Dunhuang to control the Lu army.  At the same time, Yang Yue was ordered to send an envoy to the Western Regions to question Lu Bu.  In Bingzhou, Shuozhou and Youzhou, the Xianbei masters Bu Dugen and Kebineng were defeated and fled in the previous battle. Now they are joining forces and heading south to harass Wuyuan and Yunzhong border counties.  It was Wei and Guo Huai who separated and killed them quite a lot, but they were not able to destroy the main force of the enemy.  In the northern part of Pingzhou, the Goguryeo Throne Palace has been accumulated for several years, and personal troops came to harass Xuantu County. Deng Ai and Shi Bao asked their troops to guard the field, and fought in the Houcheng southwest of the county.  Seeing that they could not win, the imperial palace took the initiative to withdraw its troops and return to the country. Deng Ai sent a message through Xiahou Lan, the governor of Pingzhou, asking him to attack Goguryeo again to punish him.  When the memorial was sent to Luoyang, all officials thought that there was unrest in all directions and that it was not appropriate to use troops abroad for the time being.  The imperial edict ordered Xiahou Lan and others to go to Yaobing's territory to intimidate, but not to initiate border provocations.  However, the no-war policy could not restrain Liu Yi, the governor of Lelang. Starting from the end of autumn last year, Liu Yi sent his troops south.  Taking three Koreas directly, the two armies fought fiercely for several months, with repeated victories and defeats.  Liu Yi asked Liaodong and other counties to help, and asked Donghai Navy to provide support. Unfortunately, he did not arrive at the right time.  Cao Cao had just collapsed, chaos broke out in Guandong, and Goguryeo also came to intervene, which restricted the soldiers and horses of Liaodong and was unable to respond, while the navy led by Wei Yan was ordered to go south to Wuhui.  In Xinping, Shu, there were still many old Shu Han ministers and local powerful officials who were stubbornly resisting. After Cao Ren entered Chengdu, he immediately dispatched generals to attack from all sides, which invisibly slowed down the pursuit of Zhao Yun and others.  Zhao Yun had to be welcomed by the county prime minister, the king and his wife.  An Ran entered Yongchang City, restored Liu Chan as emperor, and restored the banner of the Han Dynasty.  Lu Su, Niu Jin and others still surrounded Gan Ning in Jiangzhou. Ma Su went to the city twice to persuade Gan Xing Ba to abandon the war and surrender, but was severely rejected both times.  The court ordered Lu Su to temporarily retreat with the main force of the navy, go down the river and return to Pengli, in order to prepare to cut off Cao Chong's way to cross the river south once he was defeated.  Bu Zhi and Huang Zhong sent their troops straight into Nanzhong, but they were blocked by Yong Kai, Zhu Bao and others. There was no battle between the two armies.  But there are endless frictions and conflicts.  Cao Ren petitioned Luoyang, saying that I would tolerate these Nanzhong tycoons for the time being, but would never give in and retreat until the northern part of Yizhou was stabilized.  It will facilitate the north-south movement and completely resolve the South-China issue.  The imperial court ordered that the Nanzhong area be cut off as Yizhou, and Xu Shu be appointed as the governor of Yizhou, and Cao Ren was given the military title of governor of Liang, Yi, and Yizhou.  After Bu Zhi and Huang Zhong entered the barbarians, there seemed to be instability in Jiaozhou, and some powerful chiefs made trouble.  The mastermind behind the harassment of grain transportation is pointing at Shi Xie.  Lu Yi, the governor of Guangzhou, wrote to the Fu Shi family to persuade Chen Fufu to self-discipline. At the same time, Wenpin led the soldiers of Xiang and Yuan to join forces to calm him down.  Of course, the biggest chaos is still in the east. Before the end of February, Cao Hong, the auxiliary state, entered Qiaocheng, the eastern capital, and mobilized troops and horses to fight against the Three Kings' rebellion.  When it comes to Cao Zilian's status in the Cao Wei regime, all officials think it can be compared to Fan Kuai, the Wuyang Marquis who prospered the Han Dynasty.  Fan Kuai's characteristics are, firstly, loyalty and being a relative by marriage, and secondly, bravery. He often defeats the enemy first in battle, but after all, he is only a general and cannot be said to be a qualified commander.  Fan Kuai mostly fought with Liu Bang, and only a few times acted on his own, and he mostly dealt with second-rate characters such as Chen Xi and Lu Wan. The same goes for Cao Hong, who united the power of several states to quell disasters. He had not had the opportunity to perform before.  Show your talent in this area.  And based on Xun¡¯s understanding of the original history, apart from once guarding Hanzhong, Cao Zilian had never acted alone.  When he was guarding Hanzhong, he successfully defeated Wu Lan and forced Zhang Fei to retreat. The problem should be basically attributed to Cao Xiu. Cao Cao sent Cao Xiu to join Cao Hong's army and said, "Although you join the army, you are actually handsome." Cao Hong also  Simply entrust all the troops and horses to Cao Wenlie for dispatch.  However, no matter in which timeline, Cao Hong's reputation is far beyond that of Cao Xiu, so as soon as Cao Hong took the initiative to ask for a battle, Shixun agreed, but at the same time, he also sent Cao Xiu and Xia Houshang as his deputy generals, and sent Zhuge Liang to join the army.  , to assist.  Of course, Xun did not dare, Cao Mao would not have thought of it, and would not copy Cao Cao¡¯s original words.?Cao Hong handed over the power to Cao Xiu and Xun Xun felt that Cao Wenlie was just that. If I really wanted to replace Cao Hong, I might as well just hand over the military power to Zhuge Liang.  Fortunately, Cao Zilian was quite self-aware. He knew that although Cao Xiu was a generation shorter than him, he was once praised by Cao Cao as "the horse of my family" and commanded the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Cao Cao almost treated him as his own son.  , so if Cao Xiu asks for something, he never dares not to listen.  As for Zhuge Liang, he was a master of Xun. Cao Hong had to rely on Xun to do business. In addition, Kong Ming's elegant demeanor could win people's hearts with his words. Cao Zilian also regarded him highly.  So under the planning of Cao Xiu and Zhuge Liang, Cao Hong ordered Le Jin to lead his army directly to Juancheng, forcing Cao Zhi, who was trying to go south to join forces with Cao Chong, to return for reinforcements.  At the same time, Yu Jin was ordered to advance against Lu Ju in Runan, and Xiahou Shang was ordered to advance against Jiang Qin in Jiujiang, hoping to first cut off his wings and then encircle Cao Chong's main force.  When the news reached Wu and Hui, the old officials of Soochow could not help but be eager to take action. They wrote secret letters to Sun Quan one after another, asking him to find an opportunity to start an uprising and use the opportunity of echoing Cao Chong to separatize Jiangdong.  Sun Quan was quite moved, but his eldest son Sun Deng, who was only eight years old at the time, said: "The general trend of the world has been decided. If my father goes against the will of heaven, I will be afraid of my family!" Sun Quan flicked his sleeves and said: "My son  How do you know?" Sun Deng said: "When Zhang Zibu is in Pengcheng, he often sends letters to ask about my father's daily life. If my father can't decide, why don't you ask me?"  But in terms of clearly seeing the general trend, it seems to be slightly lacking. I remember that back then, he persuaded me to rely on Cao Cao early. Although he listened to Zhou Yu's words and united with Jingzhou to resist Cao Cao's troops, the result was a failure. But to this day, he has not  I don't regret this, and I don't think Zhang Zhao was right at the beginning.  After thinking about it, he summoned Yu Fan to discuss the matter.  Yu Zhongxiang was a native of Yuyao, Kuaiji. His father, Yu Xin, had served as the prefect of Rinan, so he could be regarded as a descendant of the eunuch family. He also served as a meritorious official when Wang Lang was guarding Kuaiji and was quite influential in the county.  Later, when Sun Ce went south, Yu Fan persuaded Wang Lang to avoid Sun Ce, but Wang Lang refused to listen and was finally defeated. Yu Fan fled from him until he was the marquis.  Wang Lang said to Yu Fan, "You have an old mother, so you can return her." Fan then resigned and returned home. Sun Ce came to visit him personally and appointed him as a meritorious official.  After Sun Ce died, Yu Fan assisted Sun Quan and was highly trusted.  When "the southerners returned to the south and the northerners returned to the north", Gu Yong and other leading parties suddenly became officials under the rule of Cao Wei. Most of the old southern ministers who had not boarded the pirate ship returned home to live leisurely or, to be more precise, were under surveillance.  live.  Only Yu Zhongxiang, because he was a great scholar of "Yi", was conscripted by the imperial court as Quanjiao Ling. However, he refused to resign and was still willing to dress in white and become a guest of Sun Quan's family.  Later, Wang Lang also called him to the court several times, but Yu Fan declined them all.  Therefore, Sun Quan felt that the Wu people were unreliable, and the Yue people were slightly better. As for the only one he could rely on, he secretly summoned Yu Zhongxiang for discussion.  Yu Fan then said: "When my brother was here, he took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains and relied on Yuan Shu to send troops to the south of the Yangtze River. Many people were killed. The Wu Hui scholars hated him so much that the lord hated his defeat and entrusted his orders to others. Today  My lord is planning a big plan again, but it is a pity that not even one out of ten can be used. It is very difficult to become a hegemon. Moreover, Cao Wei's navy crossed the sea and harassed Wu and Hui in the past, making me stretched and exhausted. If he comes again, what will I do?  " Sun Quan was shocked and said that I almost forgot about Wei Yan's Donghai Navy. "It's a pity that I didn't use it now that I had this opportunity.  If there is a letter, please ask me to come back. If you don't do anything, you will be trapped in death. How can I bear it?" Yu Fan advised: "After your brother's death, Sun Song was in chaos inside and Huang Zu was coveted outside, and the Lord finally died?  Neng Shao can continue his career, bring peace of mind to the people, and have hundreds of officials to protect his ears. How are the hearts of the people and the hearts of scholars similar to each other at the beginning of the world?  Then the chaos in Liyang and the ringworm and scabies in the ears are so good. Gongyi and Zilie, if they seek benevolence, they will have no regrets in dying. However, if they end up in trouble for their lord, they may die without resting in peace. " Sun Quan said:  "There is also a letter from Cao Chong. If Yun gets to Luoyang, he will grant me the title of Wu Hui" Yu Fan said, do you believe what Cao Chong said?  If he really conquered the world, would he be able to tolerate you?  Sun Quan waved his hand and said that I haven't finished what I said. "The imperial court is jealous of me. Now that I have this opportunity, my head will be cut off. Even if you die in rebellion, you will die if you endure it. What can I do?" Yu Fan said: "People are punished by death.  I wanted to give it a try, but I thought that there was no need for the lord to be disturbed. The imperial court was suspicious of the lord, and if it had not been for Hong Fu's words in the past, he would have summoned him to Luoyang instead of letting him be in Kuaiji now.  If you move? Then the court will clear up the doubts and your head will be preserved; the Sun family will still be based in Kuaiji, and the descendants of the in-laws will be prosperous. " Sun Quan said that if I cross the Yangtze River, it will be like lying on the chopping board, waiting for someone to kill me.  Can you guarantee that the court will not kill me?  Yu Fan laughed and said, "My lord, when you cross the river as a weapon, do you think that Kuaiji is not a gun?" You are just sitting on the chopping board. Do you still think there is room for bargaining with the court?  "Please turn to the north, my lord, and you can leave this place. If you firstNow, you may be plotting against your lord. The current emperor is still young, so he is generous and generous, so he will not do any harm.  I heard that Wang Jingxing received a posthumous edict to assist the government, and I can help him with the money so that he can protect his lord.  " Sun Quan was still hesitating, and suddenly a message came to the door: "The letter from Zhang Jun of Pengcheng has arrived" (~^~) For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotia.net
