Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 825 Nanzhong Rebellion

After successfully taking Chengdu, the tens of thousands of Xiliang army were naturally morale up. The battle of the Xiliang army lasted for nearly a year before and after the invasion of Shu. Even if the Xiliang army were all elite fighters, they could not help but feel tired. Naturally, they can rest for a while, so Xiliang soldiers are all excited.

A large amount of grains and rice accumulated in Chengdu, Liu Ye took out to reward the soldiers, and at the same time strictly ordered the military lieutenants not to harass the people. However, it is inevitable that a small number of Xiliang soldiers indulged and oppressed the people, and they were immediately ordered to be killed by Liu Ye ruthlessly. The Xiliang army was one of them.

However, Liu Ye's happiness did not last long, and was soon broken by a new message.

"General, I am afraid I will leave Chengdu soon."

Jia Xu took a letter and spoke to Liu Ye.

"Oh? Is it because what happened to the Central Plains that Cao Cao is going to attack again?"

For example, among the lower princes today, there are only three who are capable. One is Liu Ye who dominates the West, and the other is Cao Cao who occupies the east of the Central Plains. Liu Biao sits on the nine counties of Jingxiang, while Yuan Shao and Gongsundu and others are It is not a concern.

So when Liu Ye heard Jia Xu's words, the first thing he thought of was Cao Cao.

"It is related to Cao Cao, but it is not about attacking the Central Plains."

Jia Xu took Cao Cao across the river to attack Jiangdong and won. Zhou Yu kept Sun Quan and retreated to Yuzhang County. Changsha prefect Zhang Xian united the four prefectures of Jingnan to rebel. Liu Biao personally commanded the army to conquer. Now the north and south of Jingzhou have become a pot of porridge.

"Speaking of which, Cao Cao has already sat in the southeast. It seems that there will be a battle with Cao Cao sooner or later in the future."

Liu Ye suddenly recalled the scene of the two fighting side by side in the Battle of Changsha, and he couldn't help feeling sighed for a while.

"Cao Cao has now occupied the three states of Qing, Xu, and Yang, and his strength is extraordinary. There are 100,000 elite soldiers under his command. The strength cannot be underestimated. Now the general is on an expedition. Although Cao Cao has just conquered the southeast, it is impossible to guarantee that he will not take advantage of the general. At that time, it suddenly launched a fierce attack on the Central Plains."

Jia Xu suggested: "The general might as well lead Qingqi to return to Luoyang first to stabilize the heart of the Central Plains. Then he ordered Zhang Jai and Ma Teng to lead the Xiliang soldiers and horses back to their respective garrisons to guard against Cao Cao."

"Well, it's okay, Cao Mengde has always been cunning and intrepid, so I can go back first."

"However, Yizhou has just been put down, and powerful generals must be left to guard. Who do you think can take on this important task?" Liu Ye asked Jia Xu again.

Jia Xu thought for a while and said, "Ma Shoucheng has been fighting for a long time, and he can lead his troops and horses to stay in Chengdu, and Zhang Jai will lead his headquarters back to Nanyang County. After Chengdu is settled, he will order Ma Teng to return to Guanzhong."

Hearing Jia Xu's words, Liu Ye nodded: "Okay, I will order Ma Teng to guard Chengdu himself, and I will lead Qingqi back first."

Just as the two were discussing, suddenly a soldier ran in.

"General, the barbarians in South China have rebelled!"

...

In the Chengdu Chamber, the generals of the Xiliang Army also benefited the civil and military officials of the prefecture. Huang Quan, Pang Xi, Jiang Wan, Fei Yi and others were sitting on the left and right, while Liu Ye naturally sat on the main seat and looked around.

"There are many miasma in the south, and the barbarians live in it. Therefore, we Yizhou people generally call it Nanban. These Nanbarans are divided into dozens of tribes, large and small, but there has been a unified trend in recent days."

Huang Quan introduced: "These barbarians gather together, it seems that they want to build a nation, and fight against my great Han."

"What? A mere barbarian wants to build a nation, isn't it a joke?"

"Hahaha, these barbarians don't know anything, build a country?"

Whether it was the generals of the Xiliang army or the civil and military of Yizhou, they all looked at each other and laughed. The founding of a nation is not a trivial matter. The etiquette and regulations involved are very complicated. In the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, many people claimed to be the emperor, such as Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju brothers who rebelled with the Karasuma people in Yuyang County, who claimed to be the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Xu Chun of Wujun Fuchun claimed to be Emperor Yangming, and Que Xuan of Xiapi also called himself the emperor.

However, these three people made little trouble, at best they were divided warlords, far from changing dynasties, because although they claimed to be the emperor, nothing changed. Since the dynasty is to be changed, the Five Virtues must be changed. The calendar and obedience must be redesigned. Those who have done these actions can be regarded as seeking to usurp the throne and truly establish the country.

What did a group of barbarians know to build a country? It's just fooling around. Therefore, the generals of the Xiliang Army and Yizhou Wenwu burst into laughter, disapproving.

Liu Ye smiled and said, "Huang Cishi, who is the head of this group?"

"The leader is named Meng Huo. This person is the leader of a tribe in Nanban. He inherits his father's position. He is quite brave. It is said that this person is naturally strong and capable of tearing tigers and leopards. Therefore, most of the tribes in Nanban are afraid. Meng Huo didn't know what to think. It was ridiculous to unite dozens of tribes in Nanban to build a country in a whimsical way and prepare to attack Jianning and even Chengdu." Huang Quan introduced.

"Meng Huo?"

After Liu Ye heard it, his expression was very wonderful. This Meng Huo was considered an important supporting role in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He was once the leader of the Nanbarians to resist the Shu Han, but was conquered and suppressed by Zhuge Liang. Unexpectedly, he appeared more than ten years earlier, and he was also the leader of the Nanbans.

"Has the general heard of Meng Huo?"

Huang Quan saw Liu Ye's expression and asked.

Liu Ye chuckled, "Occasionally, I heard something."

As soon as the voice fell, Ma Teng stood up and said: "General, these barbarians are really looking for death. Ask the general to allocate 20,000 to the elite. In the end, Nanzhong will be flattened and all these barbarians will be killed!"

Ma Teng took the initiative to ask, but Liu Ye shook his head slightly: "The Nanban rebellion involves more than a hundred thousand people. If all of them are killed, wouldn't it be a pity? Just punish the first evil, and the rest are good for comfort."

Meng Huo was really restless. Zhuge Liang was patient. He arrested him seven times before and after. It is estimated that the cheeky Meng Huo himself was embarrassed to continue fighting, and he surrendered. Liu Ye didn't have such a good patience. He grabbed Meng Huo seven times, then let him go seven times, and just grabbed him and killed him.

As for the barbarian rebellion, there is no need to worry so much, because Liu Ye and Zhuge Liang faced different situations. Zhuge Liang conquered Nanban. Meng Huo had been the leader of Nanban for decades. He had great prestige. If Zhuge Liang came up and killed him with a single knife, Nanban would naturally endanger everyone in danger and rebellion.

But now Meng Huo is still very young. He forcibly twisted Nan Man into a rope by force. I was afraid that the Nan Barbarian would not be in awe, but complained about him. At this moment, Meng Huo was caught and killed. People can comfort themselves.
