At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Therefore, when Le Jin pacified Jingnan, he referred to Zhang Liao's approach, and used fire to compress the living space of Shanyue and the barbarians of the four counties, forcing them out of the mountains and forests, and then exterminated them.

Since the early Eastern Han Dynasty, the local issue of Shanyue Group's separatist regime, which had become more and more a real problem, was slowly resolved under the brutal blows of Zhang Liao and Le Jin.

Right now, Zhang Liao is still commanding operations on the front line of the crusade, and Le Jin will soon have a broader battlefield to face.

Chapter 850, 860 My life is saved

After Liu Zhang surrendered, the fertile Chengdu Plain could be used as a new logistics advance base, which was of great help to the Wei army in further pacifying Nanzhong.

Therefore, Guo Jia felt that according to Guo Peng's temperament, he would definitely make good use of the fertile soil of the land of abundance and continue to fight.

So during this period of time, Guo Jia decided to carefully screen and take away some people who needed to be taken to the Central Plains with Liu Zhang, so as to lay the foundation and create space for Guo Peng's next administration.

Guo Jia didn't seem to do anything during his time in Chengdu, but he was invited by the big families to eat and have fun with them, or to chat with Liu Zhang. It seemed that he didn't do anything.

But the basic situation in Chengdu and even Sichuan has been almost understood by him.

For example, the famous Central Plains scholar Xu Jing who tried to climb over the wall to surrender to the Wei army, and the brothers Zhang Su and Zhang Song who insisted on resisting. These people of all kinds filled the whole of Chengdu, and none of them were left behind.

Especially Xu Jing, who was also well-known in the Central Plains as one of the hosts of the Yuedan Review in the past, a celebrity in the world, and many people admire him.

But he never expected that in front of the enemy, he would try to surrender over the wall without any integrity, and he couldn't even dodge a little in the city. Isn't this too shameless?

Moreover, after Wei Jun entered Chengdu, Xu Jing was also one of the first batch of officials who shyly came to visit Guo Jia, and crowded in front of everyone enthusiastically, without any shame.

The older this person lives, the more shameless he becomes?

Guo Jia thought it was strange and disdained Xu Jing's behavior, but out of the need to appease people's hearts, he still called Xu Jing and his group into his temporary residence to meet them, hosted a banquet for them, and told them There are also rice bowls in Wei State, so don't worry about running out of food.

Don't they just care about this?

What's so hard about this?

Guo Jia met them, and then recorded their performance together with the list, and quickly sent them to Luoyang to Guo Peng, asking Guo Peng to draw up how these people should be appointed.

Next, a group of officials from the original war faction also came to visit Guo Jia, and Zhang Song was the leader.

According to Guo Jia's understanding over the past few days, he learned that Zhang Song is an important mouthpiece for the main combat faction.

Before the war, when Xu Jing's surreptitious faction strongly urged Liu Zhang to surrender without a fight, Zhang Song stepped forward when the soldiers of the main combat faction were defeated by the surreptitious faction.

He fought against the Confucianists with his tongue, knocking down the descendants led by Xu Jing one after another with his mouth, and then launched an exciting decisive battle with Xu Jing.

The two debated in the hall for an hour, and Xu Jing was almost foaming at the mouth. In the end, Zhang Song relied on his young and more flexible brain to defeat the old Xu Jing, so Xu Jing retreated.

It can be said that Zhang Song contributed a lot to Liu Zhang's determination to work with Guo Peng to this extent.

He and his elder brother Zhang Su are both important figures of the main battle faction. These two people came to see Guo Jia, without even thinking about it, they came to plead for sin and ask for a future official status.

Guo Jia was still very interested in what Zhang Song had to say.

He doesn't need to meet everyone, he only needs to meet the most representative person, and through the treatment of this person, he can convey what the Wei regime thinks about all the former main fighters in the middle of Shu.

Zhang Song was a little apprehensive, but after meeting Guo Jia, he felt Guo Jia's kindness, so he was slightly relieved.

Guo Jia was a little surprised. He felt that Zhang Song was short in stature and unattractive. He looked like an ordinary servant. It was really interesting that he could fight Xu Jing, a master-level talker, at the top of the Forbidden City.

What's more, Guo Jia didn't expect that when Zhang Song saw him, he would come straight to the point and express his intention of coming, and he didn't do some small talk to ease the atmosphere, which was really straightforward.

"I thought Zhang Jun would tell me some other things first, instead of telling me this kind of thing directly, Zhang Jun, you are really straightforward."

Guo Jia smiled.

Zhang Song smiled mischievously.

"It's already reached this situation. I'm here to beg for mercy. I hope Guo Pushe can say something kindly for me in front of His Majesty. At least, I want to live and not die."

Zhang Song kept his posture low and spoke clearly.

"That's interesting, Mr. Zhang."

Guo Jia took a sip of the fine wine in Sichuan, and said with a slight smile: "Since you don't want to die, why do you want to support Liu Shijun to fight against my Majesty Wei Tianzi? You should know that your Majesty has never opposed anyone who opposes him. It is not kind, especially with such a high-intensity resistance, the casualties of our army are not small."

Zhang Song's complexion was a little pale, his body trembled slightly, he swallowed, and said slowly: "As a minister, you should fulfill your duties as a minister. My elder brother and I are both officials promoted by Mr. Liu. I want to repay Liu Shijun for his kindness.

Doing such a thing is out of the standpoint of a minister, and it is what Liu Shijun himself wants to hear. We are just doing what we should do and doing our duty well. Pu She should be able to understand. "

Guo Jia nodded.

"You are right. I understand that as a minister, one must do one's duty. Therefore, I look down on Xu Jing's kind of people who betray the master and seek glory."

Zhang Song looked slightly better.

"However, Mr. Zhang, you should also understand that your persistence has caused a lot of casualties to our army. In order to appease the army's resentment, His Majesty will definitely take some people to the knife."

"..."

Zhang Song's complexion turned pale again.

After being quiet for a while, seeing Zhang Song's getting worse and worse, Guo Jia couldn't help but burst out laughing.

???

Now Zhang Song is a little strange.

What is he laughing at?Are you laughing at me for having a strong desire to survive but not having a good death?

"Okay, okay, no kidding, Mr. Zhang, this time you are voluntarily surrendering, not being defeated after being forcibly defeated, so His Majesty will not kill, but on the other hand, I will punish you and make you pay Some price is also necessary."

Guo Jia made a confession, Zhang Song felt relieved, and took a few breaths, as if he was still alive after a catastrophe.

"What Guo Pushe said, is it true?"

Zhang Song was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, killing people indiscriminately will not happen, otherwise I won't let the various places resume production immediately, but punishment is also necessary, otherwise your majesty will be suspected of unclear rewards and punishments, and it will be difficult to convince the public, so what rewards do you want to get? Don’t even think about high-ranking officials and generous salary.”

Guo Jia's tone was a little harsh.

"Yes, this... we all know."

Zhang Song repeatedly said yes.

It seems that he really won't kill people, which is great.

As for the official position... the most important thing is to be alive, okay?

"Of course, that's all His Majesty's business. I don't know how His Majesty will punish you, and I dare not tell the truth. I can't help you if you ask me."

Guo Jia took another sip of his wine and said with a smile, "By the way, I heard that you argued with Xu Jing about how you argued with Mr. Xu Jing at that time? Tell me about the process. It's not easy for this old man to suffer. "

It seemed that Guo Jia was very interested in the peak verbal battle, so Zhang Song immediately recounted the fierce battle that day, making Guo Jia feel like he was actually there.

Coming out of Guo Jia's mansion, Zhang Song heaved a sigh of relief.

Back home, Zhang Su had been waiting there long ago, together with a group of officials from the main combat faction who had been very close in the past, all of them were cautiously waiting for news from Zhang Song.

Zhang Song looked at them and took a deep breath.

"Punishment is indispensable. Don't even think about high-ranking officials and generous salary."

Everyone's hearts were raised in their throats.

"But my life is saved."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and began to show smiles on their faces, feeling confident.

Chapter 851 - The first governor of Yizhou in the Wei Empire

Guo Jia's promise to these people is very meaningful, because it will make them feel confident.

This group of people has a bottom in their hearts, so they won't mess around, and the situation in Sichuan can be quickly stabilized.

If Central Sichuan is to be stable, Chengdu must be stable. If Chengdu is stable, Central Sichuan will be stable sooner or later.

Guo Jia wandered between the main combat faction and the main descendant faction in Chengdu, and after appeasing them separately, he began to wait for news from Guo Peng.

At the end of April, the news that Liu Zhang went to the emperor's title and surrendered reached Luoyang. Guo Peng learned of the news and announced it to the public.

For a time, Luoyang became a sea of ​​joy.

Many people are celebrating with joy, congratulations for the Guo Wei regime's pacification of Yizhou, and celebrations for the Guo Wei regime's finally wiped out the three major separatist regimes in the south of the Yangtze River.

At the beginning, the three regimes in the south of the Yangtze River united with each other, engaged in a continuous strategy, and cooperated with each other. When one family was in trouble, the two supported them, and even launched a trinity offensive strategy.

At that time, many people who bad-mouthed Guo Peng secretly applauded, thinking that these three major forces would definitely unite to get rid of Guo Peng.

Of course, this was a very unsuccessful strategy, and the three major forces soon declined.

The centrifugal forces within the Guo Wei regime were also shocked by Guo Peng's force and swept by the momentum of the Wei Empire's dominance of the world, and they have never overdone it until now.

The army went to war in February, forced Liu Zhang to surrender in April, and resolved the Shu Han regime that was fully resisting in two months, forcing Liu Zhang to abdicate and surrender. In this battle, the Wei army fought very well.

The courtiers came to congratulate Guo Peng one after another, congratulating Guo Peng on making great strides forward again on the road of unification.

The last regime under the banner of the Han Empire was eliminated, and the Great Wei Empire has since then been the only legal regime on the land of China.

Guo Pengzhi complacently accepted the congratulations of the officials, and then began to arrange some strategies for governing Yizhou, such as the selection of the governor of Yizhou.

Guo Peng remembers Li Bai's poems very clearly.

The guard or the bandit relatives, turned into wolves and jackals.

Given the difficulty of the road to Shu, if those who guard Yizhou are not true cronies, they will directly turn into terrifying beasts of betrayal, occupying Yizhou to separatist regime and cause chaos, turning the prosperous central Shu into the source of disasters in the world.

That was pretty scary and hard to deal with.

And there are many examples of this.

Gongsun Shu in the Xinmang period, the Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms period and Zhonghui who tried to separate the regime after the Shu Han was destroyed, and the Cheng Han regime in the Jin Dynasty.

These famous Western Shu separatist regimes seem to prove that as long as there are troubled times, the land of Western Shu will always have no shortage of separatists.

Because the geographical conditions are really superior.

The difficulties and obstacles of the Qinling Shu Road, the difficulty of transporting grain and grass, the difficulty of marching an army, and the danger of Qutang Gorge all prove that this is an excellent land for separatism.

If it is not a real confidant, and there is a real handle in hand, then it will be really bad.

The most typical example is Zhong Hui, who is considered to be Sima Zhao's confidant.

The Yingchuan Zhong family he was born in was close to the Sima family, and his family was called Zheng Miaohong.

As a result, as soon as he entered Shu, he was provoked a little by Jiang Wei, and this guy exposed the nature of Er Wuzi and rebelled on the spot.

In fact, this is not difficult to predict. If this guy hadn’t had physical problems, he probably had a bad intention from the beginning. He didn’t marry a wife and have children at the age of 40. He just adopted two clansmen as sons. He is an absolute different.

It's a pity that he didn't think well, and didn't take into account that not everyone has no family like him and doesn't care about his family.

The relatives and relatives of the generals and soldiers of the Wei Army are all in the Central Plains. Once they rebel, their family members will be finished. Cao Wei’s system of hostage and appointment is still implemented very well, so no one is willing to rebel with him, so Zhong Hui blew himself up on the spot, was defeated and killed, and failed. The rebellion succeeded.

It is also thanks to the quality and appointment system, otherwise Sima Zhao had just flattened the Shu Han here, and he would have to fight against the second and fifth sons of Zhonghui on the other side. The 10,000+ soldiers and horses directly fattened the second and fifth sons of Zhonghui, and he would probably vomit blood with anger.

Bad traffic, closed terrain, rich products, fertile land.

It is completely a standard configuration of a basic disk, much better than the Qingzhou where Guo started his business back then.

Mr. Guo is the place where the Fourth World War was fought. If Yizhou is well-managed and can directly seal a few roads, then the troops from other places will not want to enter Yizhou without paying a huge price.

That is to say, Yan Yan rushed forward because of shortage of supplies and eager to win. If he defended Qutangguan and Baidi City, he would not advance, and the Wei army would not know how many casualties it would take to enter Yizhou.

Wu Yi's tactics are correct, sticking to the line and basically not fighting, so that the Wei army can't win by force and can only strike from a distance.

Lessons from history must be learned, at least someone Guo has learned lessons in this area, made some summaries, and got some enlightenment.

So after learning the lesson in this area, Guo Peng made the decision to divide Hanzhong County into two, and then transfer them to Yongzhou together.

Let Hanzhong, the gateway to central Shu, be included in Yongzhou and no longer owned by Yizhou.

If you can't own Hanzhong, the separatist regime in Yizhou will be incomplete and unreliable. Whoever wants to have a separatist regime must weigh his own weight.

Now that he owns the whole of Yizhou, Guo Peng has made a new decision after referring to some obstacles he encountered after this attack.

He decided to divide Badong County into Jingzhou, and Jingzhou would govern Badong County, and the important Qutang Pass and Baidi City were placed under the management of Jingzhou.

Hand over the two major gates of Shu to Yongzhou and Jingzhou respectively, so that Jingzhou and Yongzhou, which are geographically undefended and unable to resist the central government, will control the gates entering Shu separately, and open the gates of central Shu.
