The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 185 Little Overlord's Number One Enemy
Maybe killing chickens to scare monkeys has worked, or maybe the civil and military forces in Hebei think the current situation is not bad. Since Cui Jun was imprisoned for his words, no one dared to persuade him to come in.

Three days after he was released from prison, Cheng Yuanzhi quietly met Cui Jun in the side courtyard, and asked him about his four years of suffering in prison... ahem, and asked him his views on the world situation.

The latter was flushed and full of energy.It seems that the few days after he was released from prison, the small days are relatively moist.

"Now the lord is sitting in the land of Hebei and the eight states of the Central Plains, spanning three thousand miles, and the power is shaking the world, and the four corners of the world are subdued. It is time to show your grand plans!"

Before Cui Jun was imprisoned, the emperor was still wandering in Hongnong, Yongzhou was not established, and Xuzhou was still in the hands of Lu Bu.

At this time, the throne of the emperor is already in Xudu, Hebei and the Central Plains have been pacified, and the people feel at ease.

"Although there are still seven or eight princes in the world today, they are all mediocre people, so there is nothing to worry about!"

Because it was a private occasion, Cui Jun's words were very direct: "My lord should ask Xu Du to enumerate the previous great achievements, carry forward and proclaim the public, so as to see the hearts of the world."

Your grand plan is to put me on fire?
Cheng Yuanzhi frowned, shook his head and said, "You can't talk about this matter again for ten years."

"You have been wronged by the prison for the past few years. Now Liaoxi still lacks a prefect. You should go to Youzhou to serve."

The implication is that you have been wronged in the past few years, and in the next ten years, if you are wronged a little more, you can become an official in western Liaoning, and don't even think about returning to Hebei.

Because the latter's previous words of persuasion are well known, if he is arranged to serve in Yecheng, it will send a wrong signal to the civil and military forces in Hebei.

It's going to be troublesome.

Cheng Yuanzhi is a person who is afraid of trouble.

Cui Jun understood this meaning in an instant, sighed, cupped his hands with a somewhat decadent expression, and said:
"Jun follows the order."

What it means to be assigned to Bianjun for ten years is self-evident.

His will suddenly became a little depressed.

In order to prevent Cui Jun from getting a high salary after arriving in western Liaoning, Cheng Yuanzhi still reminded him.

"Transferring you to the west of Liaoning is not an assignment."

Why not distribution?I read a lot, my lord, don't fool me!
Cui Jun looked a little indignant.

The poor place in western Liaoning was previously managed by Gongsun Zan. How could that guy know how to govern the people?The people in western Liaoning are poor, the population is not densely populated, and the people's livelihood is very difficult.

Thinking of this, Cui Jun's expression became ugly.

Cheng Yuanzhi laughed dumbly, shook his head and said: "Liaodong Gongsundu has three counties and has one hundred thousand cavalry under his command. His combat power is comparable to the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. When you arrive in western Liaoning, you must come up with a plan to pacify Liaodong within three years."

"In addition, pay close attention to the movements of Eastern Wuhuan and Eastern Xianbei."

"If you can pacify the three counties in Liaodong and gain the vast territory and population there, as far as Hebei is concerned, it will not only increase your strength, but also eliminate future troubles. You have a heavy task on your shoulders."

"If it happens, you should be the first to do it!"

It turned out that it was really not a distribution... Cui Jun suddenly realized, and immediately corrected his expression: "Jun will definitely live up to my lord's entrustment!"

Cheng Yuanzhi waved his hand, indicating that this is the end of today's chat.

"Jun leave!"

Cui Jun clasped his hands in salute, took two steps back, turned around and strode away, his back looked very ambitious.

After sending Cui Jun away, Cheng Yuanzhi's thoughts diverged, and he dug up Gongsundu's information from his mind.

Gongsun Du, courtesy name Shengji, was born in Xiangping, Liaodong.

When he was young, he moved to Xuantu County with his father.He was a small official in Xuantu at the beginning, and in the second year of Jianning (169), he was promoted to Shang Shulang and governor of Jizhou, and was later dismissed from office.

In the first year of Chuping (190), he was recommended by Xu Rong, a fellow villager, and was appointed as the prefect of Liaodong by Dong Zhuo.

After Gongsundu took office, he imposed severe punishments and laws to attack powerful forces, which made the administration of Liaodong order smooth and the treasury gradually richer.

Soon after, chaos broke out in the Central Plains, the princes were busy begging for Dong, and the warlords from all over the country had no time to look around.Gongsun Du took the opportunity to establish himself as the Marquis of Liaodong, with the same position as the prefect.

After that, Gongsun Du attacked Goguryeo in the east, Wuhuan in the west, and the Liaodong Peninsula in the south. He built a large ship and crossed the sea to take the counties of Donglai in the northern part of the Jiaodong Peninsula.

While expanding the territory, he also recruited talents, set up museums and opened schools, and recruited refugees widely. Under the rule of law, he traveled overseas with prestige, as if he was the king of Liaodong.

In the ninth year of Jian'an (204), Gongsun Du died of illness, and his son Gongsun Kang succeeded him.

Thanks to Gongsun Du's determination and painstaking efforts, the Liaodong region gained nearly 50 years of peace by relying on its strong strength and remoteness during the war-torn era at the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms.

In 238, Sima Yi sent his troops to pacify Liaodong. Although the frontier was temporarily pacified, it caused a thousand years of disaster.

At that time, after the death of Gongsun Yuan, the grandson of Gongsundu, all the places in Liaodong fell.After the victorious Sima Yi entered the city, he ordered the slaughter of more than 15 men over the age of 7000, collected the corpses, and built a Jingguan.

Then he beheaded all Gongsun Yuan's ministers and killed general Bi Sheng and thousands of others.

Afterwards, Sima Yi wrote to the imperial court to relocate all [-] households in the territory of Liaodong to the interior on the grounds that the remoteness of Liaodong was not conducive to the imperial court's control.

It was precisely because of Sima Yi's actions that the Central Plains Dynasty's control of Liaodong fell to a freezing point.

With the withdrawal of troops and people from the Central Plains Dynasty, there was no Han people in the fertile land of Liaodong, and there was a vacuum.

At this time, the Xianbei in the north and the Koguryo in the Korean peninsula took advantage of the situation and occupied the Liaodong area, and they fought hard for the ownership of this place.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the three counties of Liaodong were completely occupied by Goguryeo.In order to regain this piece of territory that has been China since ancient times, and fill in the huge pit dug by Sima Yi, the two emperors of the Sui Dynasty, Sui Wendi and Sui Yangdi, successively spent millions of troops and marched eastward several times.

But the Eastern Expedition was unsuccessful, and Emperor Yang of Sui exhausted his national power, causing people's resentment to boil and the country to perish.

It was not until Tang Gaozong, taking advantage of the civil strife in Goguryeo, that he sent troops to reintroduce Liaodong into the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Although Liaodong was recovered, the rule of the Tang Dynasty has been unstable, because there are too few Han people here, and the Khitan and other ethnic minorities have a large number of people, and they have a stable population advantage.

After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the Liaodong area was directly reduced to the territories of the Khitan, Jurchen, Mongolian and other tribes. For more than [-] years, the Central Plains dynasty never ruled in Liaodong.

This phenomenon did not end until the Qing Dynasty entered the customs and ruled the Central Plains.

Sima Yi moved all the Han people in Liaodong back to the mainland, resulting in no more Han people in Liaodong, and then ruined the Central Plains for thousands of years.

In handling border issues, Zhuge Liang's expedition to South China was in sharp contrast to Sima Yi.

Although Zhuge Liang was planning the Northern Expedition at this time, he knew the seriousness of the Southerners' rebellion. If it was not resolved thoroughly, it would cause great trouble to the Shu Han.

For this reason, Zhuge Liang adopted the strategy proposed by Ma Di, "Attack the mind first, attack the city as the next, fight with the heart first, and fight with the army as the next", and let him go after defeating Meng Huo every time.After doing this seven times, Meng Huo and other barbarians finally came to their senses and completely worshiped them.

The southwestern regions were subsequently included in the territory of the Central Plains, and there was no more chaos, and thus benefited generations to come for thousands of years.

Later generations once commented on the two men, "Sima Yi massacred Liaodong, causing disaster for thousands of years; Zhuge Liang's conquest of Nanzhong brought blessings to all generations."

To sweep Liaodong down, Cheng Yuanzhi would never use Sima Yi's stinking method.

While thinking, Zhao Yun's voice came from outside the door.

"Report!"

Cheng Yuanzhi looked towards the door with his hands behind his back.


Zhao Yun moved into the room, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, there are visitors from Jiangdong!"

"Visitor from Jiangdong?"

Cheng Yuanzhi was startled when he heard the words, suddenly realized something, and asked anxiously, "Could it be the emissary of Xu Gong, the prefect of Wu County?"

Zhao Yun's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he said in surprise: "How does the lord know?"

Is it really Xu Gong's envoy?
Very well, it's time to play tricks... Cheng Yuanzhi smiled slightly, his expression suddenly became unpredictable, and he muttered:

"I was born by destiny, and I can know 300 years ahead and 300 years later by just counting my fingers."

Pull it down... Zhao Yun curled his lips with a look of disbelief.

Seeing that Zhao Yun was not as good at fooling around as Su Ying, Cheng Yuanzhi coughed, swallowed the unfinished part, stopped his clumsy performance, and said sternly:
"In the future, bring people to the secret room and wait, I will be there later!"

Secret room?Zhao Yun was stunned, stepped back with his hands, and hurried to make arrangements.

a while.

Cheng Yuanzhi came to the secret room and saw a man about 30 years old.

He has an alert demeanor and quick eyes, and he can be seen as a capable hand in handling affairs.

The envoy took out the brocade silk from his bosom and presented it, bowed and said: "The prefect Xu has secretly entrusted me to deliver it to the general."

Cheng Yuanzhi raised his hand to take it, unfolded it and saw that it read:
"Sun Ce is brave and brave, similar to Xiang Ji. The court should show its honor and favor to the outside world and call back the capital; it is not allowed to let him live in other towns to avoid future troubles."
