At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

These stories are really interesting.

"In the old days, there were four surnames Jiang, Yan, Ren, and Zhao in Hanyang County. The Jiang surname was the head, and it was very powerful. It was considered prestigious in the entire Liangzhou. During the Xingping period of the former Han Dynasty, Emperor Xiaoxian died, and he was alone to avenge Emperor Xiaoxian. , Soldiers marched into Kansai to fight against rebels in Liangzhou.

At that time, Han Sui and Ma Teng gathered Liangzhou tyrants and Gu as enemies. Yan, Ren, and Zhao clans all followed Han Sui and Ma Teng to fight against Gu. Only the Jiang family refused to follow, and Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng, was angry. , sent troops to crusade against the Jiang family, your father Jiang Jiong was a weak crown at that time, he defended Ji County and did not surrender, Ma Chao failed, and his food was exhausted and he retreated.

I defeated Han Sui and Ma Teng in Guanzhong alone, and killed them. The Yiqi clan sent troops out of Liangzhou to occupy the five counties of Beidi, Anding, Hanyang, Longxi, and Wudu. The local tyrants revolted against the lonely army, and were defeated by the lonely general Cao Ren, and all of them were wiped out.

So far, only the Jiang surname among the four major surnames survived, and that was the case originally, but in the tenth year of Yande, some members of the Jiang family opposed the lonely Qingzhang land, attacked the county officials, and were killed by the county guard. Only your father accepted the Qingzhang and preserved it He himself was later transferred from Hanyang County to Longxi County. "

Guo Peng took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Wei: "Jiang Wei, lonely, did you say something wrong?"

Hearing Guo Peng explain all the experiences of his family from the former Han Dynasty to the present, Jiang Wei was startled, and his face turned pale.

Yande was ten years old, he was ten years old, he was young, but his memory was very clear.

He knew that the Jiang family had some problems, but the court did not pursue his father and son.

During the [-]-year Qingzhang Land Movement in Yande, the Jiang family was exterminated. Only Jiang Wei's father, Jiang Jiong, survived and continued the incense of the Jiang family.

Jiang Jiong is a rare understanding person.

The central government was tyrannical and unable to resist. There were many bloody examples in front of them, but the clansmen ignored it. They were killed in the end, no one survived, and their ancestral property was gone.

And because of his understanding of current affairs, although he could not continue to live in Hanyang County, but started from scratch in Longxi County, he was compensated with land and official positions, and his life was worry-free.

When he first heard that Guo Peng wiped out Han Suimateng's army with lightning speed, Jiang Jiong was afraid.

Later, he saw that Cao Ren led the Wei army to sweep across the five counties of Liangzhou. The tyranny of the Wei army was clearly seen. All those who tried to resist the Wei army were killed, and no one survived. He was even more afraid.

He saw with his own eyes how the Yan family, the Ren family and the Zhao family who were enemies of the Wei army were destroyed.

I also saw with my own eyes that these three families were slaughtered by the Wei army. Men, women, old and young died all over the place. None of them survived, and they were all killed.

As the chief culprits, none of them could survive alone, and they didn't even have the qualifications to be dispatched as coolies.

At that time, Jiang Jiong knew that Wei's power was beyond human power.

He knew that Guo Peng was an irreversible and tyrannical monarch.

As long as Guo Peng lives for one day, he will definitely become the master of the world.

Sure enough, a few years later, Guo Peng ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, replacing the Han Empire, establishing the Wei Empire, and ruling the world.

It was an invincible and powerful emperor with an invincible and powerful army.

The princes of the whole country were swept away by him, and the irrefutable authority of the central government was re-established. Whoever opposes him will die!

It's a pity that in the entire Jiang family, only Jiang Jiong understands this truth.

However, the Jiang family is not the main line of the Jiang family and cannot dominate the entire Jiang family, so disasters are imminent. Jiang Jiong personally surrendered to the county guard, handed over the land to accept Qingzhang, and then accepted the county guard's commission to advise the tribe— —

Taking the initiative to accept Qingzhang lost some economic benefits, but as a leader, leading Liangzhou to accept Qingzhang's custom, there must be political compensation afterwards, which is not a loss.

He tried his best to persuade each other, and made a powerful statement, but the Jiang clan didn't accept it, didn't understand it, and they were very annoyed.

So Jiang Jiong was kicked out of the house by the Jiang clan instead, threatening that Jiang Jiong would no longer be a member of the Jiang clan if he talked nonsense, and asked him to go back and reflect.

How many generations has the Jiang family been rooted in Liangzhou, and Emperor Guo will move at will?

Is there any king law?

Does it make sense?

Do not agree!Resolutely do not agree!

Nothing left by the ancestors can be missed!

Jiang's family business was obtained through the speculation of our generation and the cruel oppression of tenants by several generations. How difficult is it to persevere to this day?

Why do you have to pay taxes for the things you robbed with your own ability?

What a joke!

It was a rainy day, and Xiao Jiangwei watched helplessly as his father failed to persuade him. Instead, he was kicked out by his clansman with harsh words. He was also beaten by several strong clansmen, his face was covered with bruises.

In the end, Jiang Jiong knelt alone in the heavy rain and cried.

That was a day that Jiang Wei would never forget.

In the end, Jiang Jiong's branch survived, and the rest of the tribe died, leaving nothing.

Jiang's bad leadership caused the resistance of the surviving powerful family in Hanyang County to be particularly fierce, so he was punished as the chief culprit.

None of them expected that Emperor Guo's determination to clear the land would be so firm, that he would destroy his family at every turn, without hesitation, start a war with the powerful all over the world, and win in the end.

An unprecedented political earthquake destroyed the powerful class of the entire Wei State.

Since the scholars were wiped out by the emperor's alliance with the tyrants, the tyrants were also wiped out by the emperor crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and uniting with the forces of Li and Shu.

Since the late Western Han Dynasty, the economy of powerful manor owners, which had gradually formed a scale, was uprooted and completely destroyed by Emperor Guo, and the collective agricultural economy represented by Tuntian farms became the mainstream.

After Emperor Guo unified the empire militarily, he completely changed the empire culturally and economically.

The number of surviving powerful manors is rare, and all of them accept Qingzhang and pay taxes, which are no longer able to support the existence of a class.

After the storm, Jiang Jiong took his small family and left Hanyang with the help of the county guard, and went to the neighboring Longxi County to start a new family and start a business.

Because of his performance of surrender, he was compensated with a land property and an official position, and continued the Jiang family's incense in Longxi County.

After years of hard work, Jiang Jiong was promoted to the meritorious officer of Longxi County. He is an important right-hand man of Longxi County and has a good reputation in the county.

After that, he often sighed and said to Jiang Wei that if the people of the tribe were willing to accept the conditions of Qingzhang’s land, with Jiang’s leading role, now he might be able to take up an official position in the central government, and Jiang’s might be able to take the lead. Floors.

How short-sighted is it to cherish petty profits and lose a great future and precious life?

How stupid!

Every time Jiang Wei thought of his father who was crying alone on a rainy day, his heart would feel blocked.

These years in Longxi County, he studied hard, made friends extensively, and tried his best to make himself forget that rainy day, and his hard work was quite effective.

He became a well-known top student in the school, ranked first in his studies, was praised and loved by his teachers, and had many good friends. He lived a carefree life and gradually forgot the haze of the past.

In the end, when the political giant whom his father feared so much appeared in front of him, he realized that some things were not so easy to forget.

Jiang Wei's cautious appearance in front of him made Guo Peng feel a little interesting.

Thinking of Jiang's past problems, he knew that Jiang Wei's attitude was not without reason.

Chapter 1522 One thousand four hundred and sixty two Guo Peng is very interested in Jiang Wei

Guo Peng believes that Jiang Wei may be a white lotus, but his family is definitely not a silly white sweet, but a very cunning and powerful local snake.

In the early years, the four major families in Hanyang County were also well-known in Liangzhou.

At that time, Hanyang County was the seat of the state government of Liangzhou, and the first-class family in Hanyang County had influence in the whole Liangzhou, such as the Jiang family.

When Guo Peng was a Tai student in Luoyang, there were frequent motions in the court to abandon Liangzhou. People from the Kanto and Kansai argued endlessly about this. struggle and resolutely safeguard the status of Liangzhou.

Nonsense, if Liangzhou is gone, their basic base will be gone too. Once they are moved inland, won't they still be flattened and rounded by the people of Kanto?

At that time, Guo Peng heard rumors about the four major surnames in Liangzhou, saying that they had fierce confrontations with the Kwantung scholar families, and they refused to give in to each other.

The Jiang surname was one of the four major surnames in Liangzhou at that time.

Because of this, Jiang Wei is knowledgeable and tolerant of both literature and martial arts. He has learned Zheng Xuan's knowledge since he was a child, and he also masters military skills. He can lead troops and is called "Liangzhou Sergeant" by Zhuge Liang.

The Jiang family has whatever they want.

It requires culture to have culture, private soldiers to have private soldiers, and economy to have economy. The entire military-industrial complex is a primitive version.

Obtaining Jiang Wei is equivalent to obtaining the key to open the closed door of the Jiang family, which is of great benefit to Zhuge Liang's grand strategy of attacking Liangzhou and occupying Liangzhou, and then further plotting Guanzhong.

Once Zhuge Liang can gain an advantage on the battlefield and demonstrate the ability to expel the forces of Cao Wei in Liangzhou, the Jiang family will inevitably choose to stand in line. At that time, relying on Jiang's prestige in Liangzhou, they can achieve the goal of defeating others without fighting. Effect.

When governing Liangzhou after the war, the Jiang family's influence in Liangzhou can also be used to get cooperation and quickly stabilize the situation in Liangzhou, which has many benefits.

After Liu Bei's defeat in Yiling, Zhuge Liang's two-pronged plan to send troops suffered serious setbacks and could not be carried out, and he was about to be trapped to death in Yizhou.

After comprehensively judging the situation, Zhuge Liang decided to change Jingzhou to Liangzhou, seize Liangzhou, which had a weak foundation under Cao Wei's rule, and then continue the Longzhong confrontation to revitalize the situation in Shuhan, hoping to attack Guanzhong from two routes and retake the road of Liu Bang.

However, it is true that Cao Wei's ruling foundation in Liangzhou was weak, while the Shu Han regime had no foundation at all.

In order to capture Liangzhou, a person who is very familiar with the situation and geography of Liangzhou and even has prestige is needed.

Originally there was, Ma Chao.

But Ma Chao died early, Ma Dai's prestige in Liangzhou couldn't be compared with Ma Chao's, and the Ma family had long since collapsed. Without Ma Chao as the leader, Ma Dai's existence was meaningless and useless.

Therefore, the Shu Han has always lacked someone who can help the Shu Han regime in the process of entering Liangzhou.

Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition failed and he lost a great opportunity, but he got Jiang Wei, a key figure who could reach a compromise with the local forces in Liangzhou, which made up for the shortcomings of the Shu Han regime's aggressiveness in Liangzhou.

This is not necessarily a big failure for Zhuge Liang's grand strategy.

Jiang Wei's joining actually gave Zhuge Liang an extra weight in his hands in a sense.

The fact that Jiang Wei was forced to surrender to Zhuge Liang was very funny to Guo Peng.

This is clearly the act of the central forces of Cao Wei pretending to be clever and creating a big trouble for themselves for no reason.

Of course, this is not without reason.

That is to say, Guo Peng leveled the local forces in Liangzhou. If not, he would also face such a crisis.

It is not accidental that this kind of thing happened. It can only be said that the root cause is that Liangzhou and the central government have been in harmony for nearly a hundred years.

The Kwantung scholars who occupied the mainstream power of the Eastern Han court had always disliked Liangzhou. They had always suggested that the imperial court abandon Liangzhou and move the people of Liangzhou inland, which made the Liangzhou people and the Eastern Han court alienated.

After Cao Wei was established, Liangzhou belonged to Cao Wei, but the gap between them did not improve much.

There are still not many Liangzhou people serving as officials in the central government, and they cannot dominate the court policy. The ruling foundation of the Cao Wei government is still the Kanto scholar group, and they still look down on and resist the participation of Kansai warriors.

The government has been changed, the emperor has been changed, but the essence has not changed.

Therefore, before and after Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, the local forces in Liangzhou were still in harmony with the central forces of Cao Wei.

Jiang Wei is one of the representative figures of the local forces in Liangzhou. Naturally, he has conflicts and distances with the Central Committee of Cao Wei.

And Jiang Wei's surrender to Zhuge Liang was also helpless, and it was by no means active.

He went out on a tour with Ma Zun, the prefect, and Guo Huai, the governor of Yongzhou. He suddenly learned that Zhuge Liang was leading an army to attack. Ma Zun suspected Jiang Wei, so he abandoned him and did not take him away. He didn't open the city gate either, and refused to accept Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei had no choice but to surrender to Zhuge Liang.

This is not a normal thing.

Jiang Wei, as one of the representatives of local forces, was actually abandoned by the prefect and the governor. The enemy is so mistrusted that he is not allowed to enter the city, and even his hometown is unwilling to open the door to accept him. Door.

Guo Peng didn't think it was an accident, it was clearly a murder with a borrowed knife.

From his point of view, Zhuge Liang sent troops too quickly, and the counties in Liangzhou were unable to resist and turned back one after another. This made the central forces of Cao Wei, who did not believe in local forces, even more suspicious of local forces, and wanted to keep Jiang Wei out.

They felt that Jiang Wei still had his mother in the city, and in the hands of Cao Wei, if he wanted to keep his mother, according to common sense, the right way would be to fight to the death and become a martyr.

Just like his father who died fighting to protect the sheriff.

He will definitely fight Zhuge Liang obediently, and then be killed, begging Cao Wei forces to protect his mother.

Killing people with a knife in this way can keep the city, weaken the local forces, weaken the cooperation with Zhuge Liang, and kill two birds with one stone.

This group of people made good calculations, but they never expected that Zhuge Liang had a long-term vision and saw infinite possibilities from Jiang Wei.

Zhuge Liang used Jiang Weixiao's advantages and disadvantages, analyzed the situation for him, and persuaded him to surrender, so that Jiang Wei realized that surrendering to the Shu Han and staying alive was the best solution to keep his mother and family.

This kind of thing was unexpected, and those people naturally did not expect that this incident would have a wonderful chain reaction in the war between the two countries.

Jiang Wei was reused by Zhuge Liang, and he could directly command troops to fight.

With his familiarity with Liangzhou, it is no surprise that he became a sharp edge of the Shu Han regime, so that the Shu Han regime built a bridge connecting Yizhou and Liangzhou.

And they also found that they wanted to weaken the power of local forces, but they couldn't do it at all.

The Jiang family itself is very powerful in Liangzhou. Forcing Jiang Wei away has made them extremely annoyed and vigilant. If they continue to attack or threaten Jiang Wei's mother or something, the Jiang family will only go completely against Cao Wei.

At that time, Jiang's heart was broken, and he sent someone to contact Zhuge Liang, and asked Jiang Wei to lead troops to attack. They responded, and cooperated internally and externally. If nothing else, Cao Wei in this county would not want it.

The Shu Han's first Northern Expedition greatly shocked Cao Wei, and made them discover that the Shu Han regime, which they regarded as SpongeBob SquarePants, was actually rejuvenated by Zhuge Liang and became a Popeye with a hundred thousand armor.

They have no doubt that as long as someone cooperates, Zhuge Liang will definitely be able to occupy Liangzhou.

Jiang Wei was forced to leave his hometown and be separated from his mother. He was alone with grief and indignation, and his heart was full of hatred for Cao Wei.
