In the third year of Yanxi's reign, it was the end of August.
Less than half a month after the Mid-Autumn Festival, less than 20 days after his daughter and son-in-law arrived in Jiangling, Zhang Xi once again received a letter from Zhuge Liang in Luoyang, asking Zhang Xi to arrive in Chang'an before the end of September to attend the court meeting.
Not only Zhang Xi was going to go to this court meeting, but also the governors and border generals from various states, and even Zhuge Liang who was in Luoyang.
Such a big battle immediately made Zhang Xi realize that Zhuge Liang was planning to make a big move again.
As for Zhuge Liang's big move, there was probably only one - the Northern Expedition.
Two years have passed since the last southern expedition. Not to mention anything else, at least the soldiers in Jingzhou have almost recovered.
In the past two years, God has blessed us with good weather and good harvests in both Jingzhou and Heluo areas... Under such circumstances, it is obviously normal for Zhuge Liang to want to send troops to the Northern Expedition.
After all, Zhuge Liang in this time and space is already very restrained compared to Zhuge Liang in history. From the Jianxing period to the Yanxi period, in a total of ten years, he only launched two Northern Expeditions. With this time, it was only the third Northern Expedition. three times.
So, just go for it.
As for the Northern Expedition, within today's Han Dynasty, it is no longer a simple issue of political correctness, but a very practical issue of unifying the world.
The purpose is not to ask Xiao Zheng'er, but to teach Da Zheng'er in the next two years and find me a job in Luoyang before I reach adulthood.
That's right, if that guy wasn't sensitive at all, he would have personally written to the late master and begged the late master to marry Sun Shangxiang on my behalf.
Just take it with you! !
From the national policy positioning of the Southern Expedition to the present, Xiao Changgui's main infiltration method in Luoyang has changed from military infiltration to political infiltration. To put it bluntly, he has not stopped wooing the aristocratic families in Yingchuan, Hedong, Hanoi, and even Yanzhou.
Dazheng'er's fiancée, Wang Yuanji, the daughter of the Donghai Wang family, actually followed Xiao Chang and his group from Jiangling to Xiangyang, and was discovered by Yang Hu accidentally.
Although the two families are in an alliance at this time, they are still two families in the end. He is a minister and marries the sister of the lord of the allied family. He really has no idea at all.
Not one of them was asking for the marriage of Yang Huiyu, the legitimate son of Zhang Xi in Mount Tai, for his seventh son Sima Zhao, who was still unmarried.
Therefore, now that Xiaohan wants to go to the Northern Expedition, what he needs to do is not to go through the motions, confirm the time of the Northern Expedition, and then discuss with each other the responsibilities that he needs to bear in that Northern Expedition.
Zhuge Liang had less than an eight-point chance of winning, so he couldn't guard Yanzhou nervously. But once Xiao Zheng'er lost that eight-point chance of winning, Xiao Zheng'er really had no confidence that he could directly sweep Yanzhou.
By the way, I guess some of my apprentices are innocent, so I have been acting with Da Zheng'er all the way.
Taishan Zhangxi was not originally a prominent family in Yanzhou. Yang's biological mother was Cai Zhenji, the son of Cai Yong, a young scholar in the late Han Dynasty, and Yang's aunt was Xin Xianying, Xinpi's son.
On that point, Zhuge Liang was very vague, so in those few years, Zhuge Liang also tried his best to win over the small families in Yanzhou, Hedong and other places.
It's almost impossible to say that that dead fish head is just free and has something to do, and he is always seriously thinking about the moon, which makes him crazy! ! !
However, Xiao Zheng'er glared at Yang Hu angrily, and then said in a helpless tone, "Zhang Xi from Mount Tai is from a small Confucian family in the Central Plains. It has a great reputation and has many in-laws. His direct descendants If the eldest son can get married to you, this young man, it will be both beneficial and harmful!!!"
So, Xiao Changgui has no choice... Yang Hu is a bad person, except for that kind of political marriage, so he is really sensitive.
But Xiao Zheng'er directly took care of Da Zheng'er, but he pulled Sima Yi with him, looking like a ferocious uncle, asking for help... Yang Hu didn't think it was strange at all.
When Deng Ai was eighteen years old, he came to help Yang Hu handle government documents. Yang Hu brought Sima Yi over that time, which was actually a kind of inheritance... He made Xiao Changgui his secretary Go along and accumulate some experience in handling government affairs.
Both of them knew that in the past, the two families would never fight, but in this battle, whichever side the small family chooses to stand on, the chance of winning will be reduced by eight points out of thin air.
There is a way. In order to stabilize the situation in Luoyang next time, Xiao Zheng'er has not "sold" all the young generals and nephews under his command, and has won over the small families of Duoluoyang and Hongnong County. I even let the eldest Deng Zhong off, and got engaged to the son of the late Taiwei Yang Biao's direct grandson, who was not Yang Xiu.
Anyone who can unify the sky and become a founding hero, even if it is the Yizhou family, has little support... Then there is only personal glory and wealth outside, and there is no improvement in the interests of the local family.
And the person Xiao Zheng'er used to trap Sima Yi that time was also expensive... He was the eldest son of Emperor Ji Han Liu Chan, Liu Yue, who was only seventeen years old this year.
It was because Jingzhou was resettled by Dazheng'er, but Xiao Chang wanted to avoid suspicion and wanted his son to be an official within his jurisdiction.
Did Dazheng'er cover it all the way? Can Wang Yuanji follow it all the way from Jiangling to Xiangyang? !
After arriving in Chang'an, he stayed in his future mansion and settled in Wang Yuanji. Yang Hu took Dazheng'er and Sima Yi and went to see Xiao Changgui first.
The situation is also the same now. Sima Yi has been with him for so young. If Yang Hu had no idea, he should have figured out how to marry Taishan Zhangxi... If he knew that Taishan Zhangxi was in Yanzhou, even What is its status within the entire Zhongyuan family? !
He only has two sons in his family. One adopted son has not yet married your son, and the other is just over four years old... What, he plans to adopt another son. Is it okay to marry your apprentice? !
As for Sima Yi, he looks familiar here.
Well... no one followed Xiao Chang to Chang'an, and that person, Yang Hu, really didn't expect it.
Listening further, it becomes even more unusual... That dead fish head is actually talking to Sima Yi, asking me if Taishan Zhang Xi has made an engagement for me.
And Xiao Zheng'er's opponent Zhuge Liang is obviously also a fuel-efficient lamp, and I am doing the same thing.
Marry directly with the Xiaohan royal family and see how Zhuge Liang fights with you! ! !
Do you really think that all Yang Hu's bodyguards are blind? !
Another thing is that Yang Hu is also such a traditional parent. The girl took such a small risk to follow his son all the way. What else can he say? !
As for Sima Yi, that child is not yet eighteen years old this year, and he has reached the age where he needs practical training.
Chengdu may be able to become the capital of Chang'an and Luoyang, but becoming the seventh Ye city is not enough for the aristocratic families in central Shu.
Another... a strong man, could actually follow Zhou Mu's bicycle frame all the way to nearly two hundred places? !
Maybe it was because the late master had a personal relationship, and he was willing to facilitate it... If it had been anyone else, Yang Hu's career would have come to an end long ago.
We haven't followed him to Xiangyang yet. There is no difference between sending him back to Jiangling and going to Chang'an together.
It can only be said that some people have learned from their fathers. When it comes to men, they have really learned from their own father... He is also a strict wife.
Just like that, the meeting was held in early April. In mid-April, Yang Hu arrived in Chang'an with his son Zhang Zheng and his apprentice Xiao Chang.
That's what he said. Yang Hu was so excited that he immediately found an excuse to move the two older ones away and talk to Xiao Zheng'er alone.
Yes... forget it.
In addition, based on the simple interpersonal network of Taishan Zhangxi, once Taishan Zhangxi chooses to turn to Xiaohan, in the future Xiaohan will regain Heluo and withdraw from Yanzhou, and he will be able to win over a small group of Central Plains aristocratic families. Small clan support.
That time, Xiao Zheng'er really used any means to prevent the marriage between the Sima family and Taishan Zhang Xi. He had no choice but to find a way to defeat Sima Yi.
How could she not look like a young lady? !
"Could it be that Prime Minister has so little time these days, why is he so concerned about senior's marriage?!" Yang Hu said angrily.
That dead fish head, what's your plan? !
Once Taishan and Zhang Xi fall to Xiao Changgui, at least not half of the Yanzhou family will choose to support Cao Wei... Xiao Zheng'er also has a way, and he can only find a solution from the Yang family.
This year Dazheng'er is fourteen years old, and he will be seventy years old in two years. He has come to serve as an official... Xiao Chang brought Dazheng'er here with the purpose of handing Dazheng'er to Xiao Zheng. Let Xiao Zheng'er take Xiao Zheng'er to Luoyang to teach for a while, and he will not be able to arrange a suitable position before he becomes an official.
So... I asked Yang whether he was married or not. In fact, it was not Xiao Changgui who was testing the possibility of cooperating with Taishan Zhang Xi.
That Miss Wang, she was supposed to stay in Jiangling City, learn weaving from male workers with your future mother-in-law Sun Shangxiang, and wait peacefully for the two to be officially married before Da Zheng'er officially comes of age next year.
The daughter of the Wang family in the East China Sea, she secretly followed her fiancé to nearly two hundred places... If word got out and your father Wang Su found out, he would be furious to death! ! !
It is no longer a matter of Zhuge Liang and other Jingzhou faction being the main force, and the Yizhou faction being opposed... now it is a common need for unification within the entire Jihan court.
