Chapter 1710: The Northern Expedition of Shu Han in 2 Brigades

Meng Huo "has always been subdued by Yi and Han", that is to say, he has a great reputation among Han and Yi people in South China, otherwise Yong Kai's rebellion would not have drawn him to help him gain momentum.

Under the circumstances that the Shu Han had no way to directly manage the South Central Manchurians, such talents were scarce. It was easy for you to kill Meng Huo, but it would be troublesome if the South Central Manchurians continued to rebel after Meng Huo died; When Huo was still there, the Nanzhong Barbarian Division could still be united. Under his command, although powerful, it was easy to defeat.

But if Meng Huo died, the South Central Barbarians would be in disarray. Meng Huo's wife, Mrs. Zhu Rong, his subordinate Sandong Marshal Ah Huinan, Mrs. Zhu Rong's younger brother brought the cave master, and Meng Huo's younger brother Meng You, In addition, King Mulu, King Duosi, Wu Tugu, the leader of the Ugo Kingdom, and others will definitely continue to rebel, and they will still fight on their own.

Such a rebellion is definitely not as powerful as Meng Huo, but it will be difficult to completely recover. Nanzhong will inevitably become a muddy quagmire, and even if it costs countless manpower and financial resources in Shuzhong, it will not be easily quelled.

Therefore, it is the best way to win over influential people like Meng Huo among the barbarians, let them be loyal to the court, and then use their influence to appease the local people and accept the rule of the court.

Then Zhuge Liang let Meng Huo go again and again, and asked him to find the leaders of the various barbarian tribes in Nanzhong. In the end, Meng Huo was completely convinced, and led the leaders of the barbarians to surrender to Zhuge Liang, and vowed never to rebel.

In this way, Nanzhong can be regarded as completely pacified, but it’s just that those barbarian soldiers who died in the hands of Shu Han before, from this perspective, Meng Huo is just like Shen Gongbao, they are all auspicious people who specialize in cheating teammates. If there is a relationship, then it will be bloody bad luck, and it is impossible not to bleed a lot.

Moreover, after Zhuge Liang subdued Meng Huo, he didn't just withdraw the army back and forget about it. He beat him with a stick and gave him a sweet date.

At the beginning, Meng Huo and the others might not have thought anything of it. After all, he was the owner of the mountain, and he is still the same now, and those people are his subordinates, and the same has not changed; but it will be different in the future. Wait for them. After dying, when the next generation succeeds to the throne, is it necessary to obtain the approval of the Shuhan court? By then there will be a lot of articles to do.

They thought it was a good thing for them to get the official position of the Shu Han, but they didn't know that it was an excuse for the Shu Han to intervene in their internal power inheritance.

In the end, Zhuge Liang also collected materials such as gold, silver, cinnabar, vermilion lacquer, cattle, and war horses from Nanzhong, and firmly controlled Nanzhong's economy in the hands of the Shu Han; It is under the jurisdiction of the Shu Han, which completely eliminates the possibility of rebellion by the Southern Central Barbarians.

If you want to rebel, you have to be rich and have people, otherwise who will listen to you? Now the source of wealth is controlled by the Shu Han, and the warriors who can fight are also serving as soldiers under the Shu Han. Who do you ask to rebel with you? dream you.

In this way, Nanzhong can be regarded as completely pacified. It is absolutely unreliable to rely entirely on Meng Huo's oath, not to mention whether Meng Huo will violate the oath, even if he does not, as long as the Nanzhong Barbarian Department has the ability , who can guarantee that no one will kill Meng Huo and lead troops to rebel?

Zhuge Liang's series of methods made the Nanzhong Barbarians completely incapable of rebelling.

This is the way to completely solve the problem. After careful consideration, Shen Long felt admiration. He really deserves to be Zhuge Kongming, who is so wise and almost a monster.

So after Zhuge Liang came back, he greatly appreciated Zhuge Liang's methods; Zhuge Liang was modest first, saying that if it weren't for His Majesty's support, Shen Long would have given him a prescription that could solve the miasma, so that he could calm down Nanzhong.

Then he began to praise Shen Long for using imperial examinations, libraries, etc. to win the hearts of poor scholars in the world. As a result, this conversation became a mutual exchange of high hats between the two; This really took advantage of the traversers, just applying the successful experience of later generations.

However, no matter if it is genuine skill or plagiarism, as long as the problem can be solved, it is good. After these two incidents, the country in central Sichuan has become prosperous and peaceful, and has gradually accumulated some capital.

At this time, Hua Tuo, who was fooled by Shen Long to find a case of cowpox, also came back. Hua Tuo didn't know that he had escaped, so he cheerfully showed his results to Shen Long. He really found cowpox The inhibitory effect on smallpox, and sorted out a set of large-scale application schemes.

After seeing it, Shen Long changed it a little, and dedicated the plan to Liu Bei. Liu Bei was overjoyed when he saw it; now that the population of the Central Plains has been shrinking after years of fighting, and smallpox is the biggest enemy of newborns, if this problem can be solved, maybe in the future In a few decades, the population of the Central Plains will be restored to its heyday before the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Shen Long has also carefully studied the reasons for the sharp decrease in the population of the Three Kingdoms. This is not only the reason for successive years of war, but also the reason for the growing power of the aristocratic families during the Three Kingdoms period and the fact that countless people were hidden; You can see the clues in the population numbers in the early, middle, and late stages.

Hua Tuo carried out experiments in central Sichuan. After confirming that the new plan was effective, Liu Bei immediately ordered special personnel to vaccinate the people with vaccinia. He also followed Shen Long's suggestion and named the new department the Red Preservation Bureau, meaning to protect the young.

For a time, all the people in the middle of Shu returned to their hearts, and the prestige of the court soared. Even Soochow and Cao Wei had quite a few people who came to join the old and the young to join the Shu Han, in order to save the lives of their children and descendants.

Because of Cao Pi's siege of Fancheng in Nanyang and Runan, a large amount of land has been abandoned. Now the people have fled to Jingzhou in large numbers. Officials in Nanyang and Runan sent troops to intercept them in desperation. Ai, Wang Ji and others clashed several times, and the relationship between Cao Wei and Shu Han became more and more tense.

Both Shen Long and Zhuge Liang realized that the time had come for the Northern Expedition to Cao Wei. If they quickly found Liu Bei and called a group of ministers to discuss, they were ready to send troops to the north to attack Cao Wei.

After much deliberation, it was decided to send two groups of soldiers, one led by Zhuge Liang, to go out of Qishan to attack Tianshui, Nan'an, Anding and other counties in Longyou, threatening Chang'an.

On the other route, Jingzhou went northward, pointed directly at Wancheng, and then spied on Xudu. This route was led by Shen Long.
