Chapter 1575 Sand Table Theory
Today is the day when General Fei Qian of Zhengxi gathered to discuss matters. Many officials came to the government office early, including Liu Zhang, the governor of Yizhou who had just taken office.
Liu Zhang stood alone at the end, no matter whether it was Zheng Xi''s original subordinates, Fei Shi, Li Hui, Qin Mi, Peng Yi and other people who were promoted in this wave, or those who were temporarily idle with Liu Bei and Wu Yi, there was no one there. Why are you interested in talking to Liu Zhang...
Looking at the gate of the Chengdu government office, Liu Zhang felt a surge of emotion in his heart. He even felt a little choked up, his eyes filled with tears, and Zhu Hong''s gate also felt a little blurred and distorted.
Liu Zhang came to Sichuan and Sichuan in his teens, and almost all of them lived in this mansion. Sometimes he passed the gate three or four times a day, but he never looked at the gate seriously, and this is the first time he did so. After looking carefully, I realized that the original position of the flagpole is here. The colorful colors on the door seem to have faded, and a corner of the stone steps was damaged but there was a small gap...
However, all of this has nothing to do with Liu Zhang, and this place no longer belongs to him, nor does it belong to the Liu family.
It''s like the current Han Dynasty.
Today''s son''s surname is Liu, but can it be said that the current big man belongs to Liu''s family?
Compared to the Son of Heaven, what is my matter?
Liu Zhang shed tears silently, and laughed nervously twice, frightening the other officials who were already some distance away from him, and subconsciously stood a little further away...
A little ahead of the self-pitying Liu Zhang, who also seemed a little isolated, were Liu Bei, Wu Yi, and Zhang Fei. The three stood together, silent. Wu Yi was expressionless, while Liu Bei still had that gentle smile on his face, as if he was ready to greet someone at any time.
However, no one greeted Liu Bei.
As for Zhang Fei on the side, he made eye contact with Wei Yan, who was further ahead, and stared. Although the two of them didn''t speak directly, there seemed to be the sound of ziraz in the air.
Wei Yan and Zhang Liao stood at the front, next to Huang Cheng and Xu Huang, surrounded by many officials in central Sichuan like stars holding the moon, and five hundred colorful rainbow farts were continuously presented. Gradually, he lost his patience, and after humming twice, he and Xu Huang retreated a little further back, and handed over all these dealings to Zhang Liao and Huang Cheng, who were relatively gentle and sociable.
Then Wei Yan turned his head and met Zhang Fei. The two stared at each other, black face to black face.
Wei Yan slowly scanned Zhang Fei from top to bottom, then turned his mouth up, bared his teeth at Zhang Fei, and muttered softly: "Blackbeard..."
Although Zhang Fei couldn''t hear what Wei Yan was saying, he guessed that there was nothing good to say, so he curled his arms, puffed out his muscles, and cursed in a low voice: "This black bastard..."
But everyone knows Zhang Fei''s voice. Although Zhang Fei lowered his voice on purpose, Liu Bei, Wu Yi, and other people at the side still heard it. They couldn''t help but look back. !
Liu Bei only felt the blue veins on his forehead twitch twice, and he couldn''t even hold back the smile on his face. He stared at Zhang Fei''s mouth, wishing he could go home and sew it on with a double-strand sword...
Wei Yan was also furious, and was about to trouble Zhang Fei, but Zhang Liao pulled his arm sideways, and shouted in a low voice, "Master Wen! This is in front of the lord''s mansion!"
If others persuade him, Wei Yan may not be able to convince him, but Zhang Liao is handsome in the first place, his skills are not bad in the second, and his record is also good in the third. Therefore, Wei Yan saw that it was Zhang Liao who came forward. It wasn''t very nice in front of me, so I stopped and didn''t go forward...
At this time, Huang Xu came out from the inside, and he couldn''t help being stunned when he saw this, and then said: "What''s wrong?"
Liu Bei hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "It''s okay, it''s okay, I''m about to meet General Zhengxi..."
Wei Yan snorted, turned around, and didn''t continue to dwell on this matter.
...
The government offices in the Han Dynasty were actually not very big. Entering the gate is the front yard, and passing the front yard is the meeting hall. The structure is relatively simple and not complicated. Later generations will become bigger and more complicated.
As soon as they entered the meeting hall, everyone''s eyes were attracted by a huge sand table in the hall.
The sand table is square and huge, almost occupying the entire central area of ??the hall. Even the tables and mats that had been placed there were removed, and everyone could only stand and surround themselves. on both sides of the sand table.
On the whole, the terrain of the sand table is like a big irregular basin, surrounded by mountains, a river runs from the south along the side of the mountain to the east in the middle, and in the middle is a flat land with vertical and horizontal ditches, and some are like The model of the building like the city gate makes people understand at a glance that this is actually a topographic map of Sichuan and Shu.
Although most of the people have seen the map of Sichuan and Sichuan, it is the first time for many people to see the specific terrain and indicate the sand table intuitively.
"What do you think it looks like?" Fei Qian turned out from the back of the hall without letting the guards roll his name, and asked aloud when he saw the crowd around the sand table.
"Meet the Lord!"
"Meet the General..."
Everyone quickly saluted Fei Qian.
"Today is just to convene all of you to discuss matters, not to focus on military affairs. You don''t need to be restrained, just feel free..." Fei Qian waved his hand, then pointed to the sand table and said, "Looking at the terrain of Sichuan and Shu, what do you think it looks like?"
"It''s like a huge basin..." Huang Cheng said from the side.
Feiqian nodded, then pointed to a city model near Dujiangyan and said, "We are convenient here..."
"Oh…"
"Uh-huh…"
"I see."
Everyone talked in low voices.
"Sichuan and Shu are like treasure basins, with fish and rice in it..." Fei Qian pointed to the sand table and said, "Here is copper, here is salt, here is cinnabar, here is nitrate, bamboo and wood are even more There are many, but hometowns are everywhere...Golden cattle enter Longxi, rice warehouses enter Hanzhong, Jianning is connected to Jiaozhou, and Badong is adjacent to Jingxiang. Although there are mountains and rivers between them, commerce and trade have continued since ancient times. Outside also..."
"Therefore..." Fei Qian raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Bei and Liu Zhang, and then continued, "If Guanzhong is strong, it must take Sichuan, and if Jingxiang is strong, it will also take Shu.
When this remark came out, not only did Liu Bei and Liu Zhang change slightly, but even people from Sichuan and Shu like Fei Shi and Li Hui also felt a little sad.
Fa Zheng glanced at the side, thinking a little bit.
Dong He sighed slightly.
Fei Qian scanned around, taking everyone''s expressions into his eyes. Although there are still some people who have not arrived today, these officials in the surrounding area are basically in place, and they are more representative, there are all kinds, and to a certain extent, they also represent various groups.
Speaking of which, Feiqian is also a small group of various kinds at the moment, not much less than other princes, but the main military power and important support points are still the earliest group of Yifeiqian, so on the whole it is not There will not be a situation that is difficult to balance like Yuan Shao.
After all, Fei Qian does not need to adjust the balance, he only needs to continuously pull the peripheral people into his central core, so that the proportion of the core group can be maintained.
What is the core body?
In fact, it is very simple to put it bluntly, it is a community of interests.
This time in Sichuan and Shu, Fei Qian also wants to create such a community of interests. The key is that Sichuan and Shu do have such conditions.
"The Sichuan and Shu are abundant, the mountains and forests are vast, the clouds are flying and the trees are dense, and the Zhuanghe is peaceful and prosperous. Writing books leads to rationality, and water control to rejuvenate the country. Before the Qin Dynasty, prefectures were set up, farming and mulberry were encouraged, and the great Han was studying writing, which is not inferior to Mingtang..." Fei Qian Qian said slowly, "Imagine it, everyone, why is such a place, with the beauty of mountains and rivers and abundant products, no match for the sons of Shandong, and weaker than the court?"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone fell silent.
There were some ministers in the Han Dynasty in Sichuan and Shu, but on the whole, Shandong still controlled the entire court. The second generation had already been beaten down during his own generation.
Liu Bei stood aside, staring at the sand table, thinking a little.
Fei Qian glanced at him, and then said: "The reason is that the middle of the river is more comfortable, and the river is more dangerous. If it is enough for one day, why would it be difficult for a hundred days? Surrounded by wild mountains and rivers, what you think and see , it’s all in this, so as time goes by, it’s what you think and think, narrow in this, it’s hard to match a person with a broad vision..."
Dong He and Fazheng stood at the same place, raised their eyes and glanced at Liu Zhang at the same time, then noticed each other''s movements almost at the same time, looked back at each other, then nodded slightly, and looked at the sand table again.
Huang Cheng, Xu Huang, Wei Yan, and Zhang Liao also had their own thoughts. Naturally, they would not say anything about the words of Zhengxi General Fei Qian, but Peng Yi, a native of Sichuan and Shu, couldn''t help it. The gentry in central Sichuan, for the sake of face, said: "Dare to ask the general, in this way, Guanzhong is also blocked by four passes and surrounded by eight mountains. Could it be that the field of vision is limited and it is difficult to fight against Shandong?"
That’s right. Speaking of which, the terrain in Guanzhong is actually similar to that of Sichuan and Shu, with hills and highlands all around, and a fertile plain in the middle. Since Sichuan and Shu were confiscated to the west, it is said that the eyesight is limited, isn’t it the same in Guanzhong?
Of course, when Peng Yi said this, it was not only the superficial meaning, but also the hidden meaning.
Hearing what Peng Yi said, Xu Huang was immediately a little angry, and was about to step forward to question, but was blocked by Huang Cheng intentionally or unintentionally, turned his head to look, but saw Huang Cheng''s eyes focused on General Zhengxi, and also I couldn''t help but follow along, but saw Zhengxi General Fei Qian''s warm smile, suddenly understood something, lowered my eyelids, took a half step back, and stopped moving forward.
Wei Yan and Zhang Liao stood together, and also heard the hidden meaning in Peng Yi''s words, but Wei Yan saw that Zhang Liao didn''t move, and saw Huang Cheng stop Xu Huang, and didn''t do anything else, just folded his hands in front of his chest , staring at Peng Yang coldly.
Speaking of which, Peng Yi is actually a big mouth...
When he was still under Liu Zhang''s subordinates, Liu Zhang was provoked by his nagging. In a rage, Liu Zhang punished Peng Yi with pliers, and dismissed him from office and made him work with slaves, but Peng Yi''s nature is hard to change. , now that he finally regained his official position under Qin Mi''s recommendation, but he made insinuating words, he is simply a little expert at killing people.
Of course, in history, the same is true for Peng Yi. After taking refuge in Liu Bei, he felt displeased when he saw that he would be sent to other places to serve, so he complained a lot. , can be rehabilitated by Daoxie" "You are the outsider, I am the inside, the world is not settled", the result was that Ma Chao, who was frightened by the bow, reported it immediately after Peng Yi left, so Peng Yi was sent to prison and finally executed …
In terms of appearance alone, Peng Yi can be said to be an alternative in Sichuan and Shu. He is tall and tall, half a head taller than Nanjun Dong He, with a straight face. No matter who looks at it, he will not know Peng Yang Yi was so talkative.
Li Hui silently took two steps to the side, looking at the nose and mouth, and put on an appearance that I don''t know this person well. As for Qin Mi, who was standing beside Peng Yi, beads of sweat were pouring out of his head, and he wanted to go forward to pull Peng Yi, but he didn''t dare...
Fei Qian looked left and right, seeing everyone''s reactions, smiled, and said: "Peng Yongnian''s words are also reasonable, and I don''t know you, do you agree with them?"
Everyone was silent, no one answered, leaving Peng Yi alone in front.
Fei Qian patted the sand table lightly, and said: "Sichuan, Shu and Guanzhong are similar in shape, but the people are also different... Guanzhong has been like this since the Spring and Autumn Period. In the west, there is Qin Xiangong who came out of Longyou, destroyed twelve countries, and opened up thousands of miles. In the north, Qin Shihuang entered Henan, closed Jiuyuan County, and built the Great Wall; in the east, he conquered Shandong, pacified the world, and unified the rivers and mountains. What about the south..."
Fei Qian smiled and did not continue, but everyone could understand the meaning.
South of Guanzhong is Sichuan and Shu.
People in Guanzhong have at least attacked from all sides, have taken the initiative to attack, and have achieved remarkable results. However, in Sichuan and Sichuan, which are also similar in terrain, do they have anything to offer?
Everyone''s eyes were also focused on Peng Yi''s face, some of which contained ridicule, some of which showed contempt, and some of them looked like they were enjoying the show...
Peng Yi''s face turned red immediately, and he was about to say something, but he couldn''t say anything in a hurry, he could only stand on the side holding back, and after Qin Mi secretly stabbed him behind, he said in a hoarse voice. : "What the general said is true. I am not good at academics. If I offend you, I hope the general will forgive me..."
Fei Qian chuckled, and didn''t answer the topic of forgiveness, but said: "Today I convene you for a discussion, to let you know that the land of Sichuan and Shu is not only beautiful inside, but also golden and jade outside..."
"Gold and jade outside?" Liu Bei was also a little curious, so he couldn''t help asking.
Feiqian nodded, knocked on the edge of the huge Chuanshu sand table, then pointed in a direction and said, "It''s convenient here..."
