Lu Xun is a very amazing person.
Let's talk about the use of troops. Whether it is Lu Xun in history or Lu Xun in this time and space, the use of troops always gives people a coquettish feeling.
He can achieve a calculated victory through his own strategic arrangements and tactical command.
But also, because there were some enemy reactions that were not in line with his expectations, Lu Xun would become very cautious in using troops, and often could not get the full benefit.
Lu Xun in history did not capture Liu Bei in the battle of Yiling. It can also be said that in order to deal with the threat of Cao Wei, he had to let the tiger return to the mountain. However, in the battle of Shiting, Lu Xun was scared off by Jia Kui's bluff. He defeated Cao Xiu but failed to change the Huainan region. The confrontation pattern seems a bit petty.
The battle at Shiting only reversed the situation of the confrontation between them. From Cao Wei suppressing Soochow to the two sides becoming evenly matched. Cao Wei destroyed tens of thousands of elites in one battle, but failed to take advantage of the situation to occupy Huainan. In fact, this battle was fought at all. The strategic purpose was not achieved.
In this time and space, Lu Xun was actually not much better. He also tricked Cao Xiu, but in the end he only occupied half of Runan County. The second half of the fight was very awkward, and he forced Cao Xiu to recover. Tone, guarding the northern part of Runan.
Although Soochow has now occupied the entire Runan County, this is not due to Lu Xun, but to the change in the situation.
But you are wrong to say that Lu Xun is not good at using troops.
In history, Lu Xun guarded Nanjun and forced Cao Wei to dare not go south in Jingzhou. In the several battles that took place in Jingzhou, Lu Xun took the initiative to attack. Although there was no gain, it is true that Cao Wei was in a strategic defensive position. .
In this time and space, although his methods are not very bright, Lu Xun is indeed developing all the way north. Now he is neck and neck with Xu Shu in the southern part of Yanzhou, and even has the faint intention of overpowering Xu Shu.
By the way, his son Lu Kang was actually similar to him. He didn't have much merit, but as long as he poked there, his opponent would be helpless.
This can only show that this father and son actually have extremely good strategic vision. They know where to occupy and where to give up.
Today's Lu Xun is like this. He doesn't want to give up the four counties in the south of Yanzhou purely for strategic reasons and knows the importance of these places.
Therefore, even if what Lu Xun did was not in line with Sun Quan's own expectations, Lu Xun would still do it.
However, if Lu Xun did this, he would not get much support from Sun Quan. It was even possible that Sun Quan would arouse some suspicion because of Lu Xun's behavior. But Lu Xun had to do this.
He must take into account possible changes in the situation in the future.
Originally, Lu Xun was still under a lot of pressure, but when the time came, the situation had undergone a huge change.
In the seventh year of Jiahe in the Great Wu Dynasty, which was the eighth year of Yanxi in the Shu Han Dynasty, and in September of the fourth year of Jingchu in Cao Wei, the emperor of Cao Wei, Cao Rui, died of illness in the Zhaoyang Hall of Yecheng.
This sudden change caused the world to rise again.
Even the dullest person knows that with Cao Rui's death, the world may have to fight again.
After Lu Xun got the news, he immediately reported it to Sun Quan who was in Jianye, requesting to return to the court to resign and discuss the next combat response.
But within ten days, Lu Xun received Sun Quan's imperial edict.
Stay where you are and make your own decisions.
Standing on standby means that Sun Quan does not need Lu Xun to return to Jianye immediately to discuss the next strategic layout. It also means that Sun Quan has no intention of making any changes by taking advantage of the changes in the situation after Cao Rui's death.
And to make decisions on his own. This is equivalent to giving Lu Xun the authority to allow Lu Xun to send troops on his own at critical moments, like the last battle of Yanzhou, if he encounters a good opportunity.
However, it will only use troops from Huainan and Qingxu, and there will be no other subsequent support.
In other words, Sun Quan gave Lu Xun certain rights to fight independently, but it was limited to small-scale operations. Just like the last battle of Yanzhou, it was okay to exploit some loopholes and take advantage, but not to launch a big war.
For a moment, Lu Xun really didn't know what to do with such an imperial edict.
Lu Xun was embarrassed and melancholy here, but the big man obviously would not miss such an opportunity.
In the name of the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang once again summoned governors from all over the country to Beijing to discuss matters in Chang'an.
The big man had been recuperating for nearly three years, and he happened to encounter a good opportunity like Cao Rui's death from illness. If he didn't take advantage of the situation and do something, he would be so sorry for such a good situation.
Zhuge Liang is going on the Northern Expedition again, and this time, Zhuge Liang's goal is to take Yecheng directly and destroy Cao's thieves.
But this thing is a bit troublesome.
This time, even Pang Tong did not support Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition plan.
There are actually many reasons, but they can be summed up in one sentence - the conditions are not mature.
Yes, don't look at it, the Han family is now dominant in power, and the external conditions are that the Han takes the offensive, and Wei and Wu are the main defenders. But inside the Han, things are no less trivial.
And the source of this matter is none other than Zhuge Liang! !
Three years ago, Zhuge Liang, who should have died of illness in Wuzhangyuan in history, vigorously launched the Battle of Yanzhou, defeated Sima Yi in one battle, and drove Cao Wei out of the Central Plains.
In this time and space, Zhuge Liang was not overworked because he was devoted to national affairs. Although his physical condition was not very good, it was not too bad, and he could still think about other things.
After pacifying Yanzhou, Zhuge Liang mainly did two things.
The first thing is to restore the people's livelihood in Yanzhou as soon as possible so that the people can settle down and work as soon as possible.
Another thing is that Zhuge Liang wants to make a relatively large adjustment and reform in the administration of officials.
Actually, Zhuge Liang didn't want to start reforming the world before it was completely settled. As Zhuge Liang and Zhang Xi said in the early years, if the world is not yet settled, rashly reforming the government will offend the nobles of the world and not be willing to seize the world. Nothing good comes of it.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang originally planned to reform the imperial court's employment system after at least dealing with the threat of Cao Wei in order to pacify the world.
But, as Cao Wei's nine-level Zhongzheng system exposed more and more shortcomings, coupled with the harm caused by Cao Wei's popular "atonement money" system, Zhuge Liang finally saw clearly that today's aristocratic families , what kind of existence are they?
In the Hedong and Hebei areas where Cao Wei belongs, there are many aristocratic families, and the influence of the aristocratic families there is extremely great. If the Han Dynasty makes corresponding administrative and personnel reforms before regaining these two places, even if Hedong and Hebei can be conquered in the future, After regaining power, these aristocratic families still won't be too calm.
Zhuge Liang thought about it for a long time, and he finally made up his mind to take advantage of the fact that the Han Dynasty was strong and its military power was at its peak to set the rules first to save trouble in the future.
Of course, Zhuge Liang didn't think about getting it done in one step. With the influence of today's aristocratic families, this is not something that can be done in one step.
What Zhuge Liang wanted to do was to take some measures to first restrict the rights of the wealthy families and lay the foundation for the great reform after the world was stabilized.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang first united with Yu Fan, the imperial censor of the Yushitai, and together they reported to Emperor Liu Chan, requesting him to send the Shiyushi and Zhiyushi of the Yushitai to inspect the place and assess the official administration.
This is the responsibility that the Yushitai should have assumed. However, in these years, one of the Han Dynasty's focuses was on the Northern Expedition, and the other was on moving the capital to Chang'an. In terms of stabilizing the political situation, the Yushitai's presence was extremely weak.
This made Yu Fan, the imperial censor, very dissatisfied. Every time he could only criticize some imperial officials for their mistakes, there were many places where he could criticize them. None of these officials were respectable people, and they were demoted and punished with great salaries. That's all, it won't hurt any hair.
But this time, Zhuge Liang took the initiative to find Yu Fan and proposed a nationwide official administration assessment. Yu Fan agreed without even thinking about it.
The responsibility of the Yushitai should be to supervise all officials. It is finally useful to verify the administration of officials.
As for Liu Chan's attitude towards this matter, of course he agreed directly without thinking.
What Xiangfu wants to do must be right, and it is also for the good of me as the emperor. Is there anything I don’t agree with?
Not to mention, this time the Xiangfu presented the memorial together with Dr. Yu from the Yushitai. The Xiangfu and the Yushitai have always maintained a certain distance in order to avoid suspicion. This time they actually broke this convention. Then This matter is definitely not a trivial matter.
As long as it is based on these two prerequisites, let him do whatever the father-in-law wants to do.
In this way, after the Spring Festival of the sixth year of Yanxi in the Han Dynasty, the first official inspection in the Han Dynasty began.
Yu Fan went to Jingzhou, Yizhou, Yunzhou, Qinzhou, Liangzhou, Yanzhou, and Sili, and sent one direct censor and five serving censors, a total of forty-two people, to check the local officials.
If it were just to check the official administration, the matter would not be too bad. What is really terrible is that before these forty-two censors left, Zhuge Liang gave these censors the right to hear and investigate, and at the same time gave them the right to investigate directly. The seven censors had the power to mobilize local county soldiers.
When the censor heard about the investigation, according to the court's practice, the impeached official must be suspended from his position to avoid suspicion. In other words, when the censor visited a place, he could temporarily remove an official from his position based on the rumors he heard. Until the investigation becomes clear.
It is even more troublesome for the seven direct censors to have the right to mobilize county soldiers.
In other words, if the Zhiyushi felt that local officials were corrupt enough to affect the local government and needed to mobilize troops to counter-insurgency, he could really mobilize the army to carry out the task of counter-insurgency.
This power was given so much that if the censors sent out had some crooked ideas, it could lead to people's hardship and even local rebellion.
But the "people" of this era are not ordinary people after the concentration of imperial power, but aristocratic families.
"People" are not easy to provoke in this era. As expected, after a large number of censors were sent out, there were rebellions in Yizhou, Yunzhou, and Liangzhou because of the censors' inspections of the officials.
Especially Yizhou, Yinping County under Yizhou's rule, all the counties rebelled.
This made Qiao Zhou, the governor of Yizhou, very anxious. What the hell is this? !
The reason why I haven't updated in the past two days. The excuse I used is that I didn't know how to start the ending of the last episode, and I thought about it for a long time.
The reason why I don’t make excuses: I have fun playing games.
Feel sorry! ! !
