Looking around, there are layers upon layers of mountains.

Hanzhong Plain is at the end as far as the eye can see...

Brother Pig is on the mountain.

The mountains here are not the highest in China, but they are not short either and are relatively steep.

Qinling Mountains, Han River.

This is the starting place of Liu Bang and the rise of the Han Dynasty.

Looking back, Zhuge Liang seemed to be able to see the footprints he had left along the way.

Not easy.

Even with the continuous construction and development over the years, and even with the help of water transportation, it is still not easy to get from Guanzhong to Hanzhong.

Zhuge Liang was going to stay in Hanzhong for a while, so he rushed to Hanzhong without even spending the New Year in Chang'an.

It's not that Zhuge Liang doesn't want to stay in Guanzhong to celebrate the New Year, but because if he wants to walk on the mountain road, he has to take advantage of the hard soil in winter to go ahead. Otherwise, if there is too much rain in spring, it will rain and the mountain road will become muddy.

I'm afraid it will be difficult to move forward.

It is Zhuge Liang's habit to do things with the utmost caution, and would rather do more than neglect.

Hanzhong.

When Zhuge Liang stood on the top of the mountain and looked at this piece of land, he didn't know why, but suddenly he had a weird feeling. This piece of land was obviously unfamiliar to him, but it felt familiar, just like being on the street.

Someone you pass by on the street seems to be a familiar person despite being a stranger.

According to the current situation of the hussar general Fei Qian, it is not impossible to directly attack Shandong with his troops. It can even be said that as long as Fei Qian attacks with all his strength, Cao Cao may not be able to resist. But the problem is that if the battle is defeated, who will defend it?

For example, in the former Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang unified the whole world, with 300,000 soldiers sweeping across the world, unstoppable. How majestic, but what happens next?

What was going to happen from being hostile to being internal, from being positive to being secretive, and then something similar like a big lotus spoon, what should I do? One lotus spoon can handle it, ten lotus spoons

Well, what about a hundred? How many counties and counties are there in Shandong, and how many counties and counties are there in the Han Dynasty?

"Secretary Zhuge, Commander Zhang's subordinate Lei Duwei is asking for an audience..."

Zhuge Liang turned around and smiled, "Let him come up."

To successfully fight this "internal war" in Hanzhong and eliminate corrupt officials, we must avoid the local snakes in Hanzhong. Liu Yan's son was once played by them and was fascinated and at a loss, but now...

Zhuge Liang straightened his clothes slightly and looked at Zhang Ze's men coming from the mountain road.

Hanzhong will be an important battlefield for him in the future, and the person in front of him may be a friend, or he may be an enemy disguised as a friendly force...

This was the deep meaning of General Hussar’s decision to come to Hanzhong.

Conquering a region is not difficult, but ruling it is difficult.

It is not too difficult to rule for a period of time. What is difficult is to rule in a sustainable, orderly and developable way.

Therefore, it is necessary to establish a relatively complete system, especially a good official system, so that it will not be like the former Qin Dynasty, where the land was conquered and then did not die in the hands of the enemy, but fell under the sword of one's own people...

Fortunately, the hussar general was cautious enough and patient enough.

More importantly, the Cavalry General is young enough.

There are also a group of young friends...

Only in this way can you have enough patience to do something, and will not be reduced to eagerness to finish it instead of doing it well. At least for Zhuge Liang himself, he feels that doing this is better than any other commander or leader.

,Even……

All make more sense.

Because these are the pillars that support a country, not simple killings. Who doesn't know how to kill? Even a fool can hold a knife!

Zhuge Liang saw too much pure destruction, and he hoped he could become a builder.

A great man who built ideals was the builder of a dynasty in his mind.

The first step, the first cornerstone, was called Hanzhong.

Hanzhong connects Sichuan and Shu and Guanzhong, and can lead to Longyou in the west and Jingxiang in the east. It is a very important transportation node. Its importance needs no introduction. And now, this is Zhuge Liang's new battlefield.

Zhuge Liang raised his head and smiled slightly.

He had a hunch that this battle would not be easy.

By the way, I remembered it. I heard that Zhang Ze’s name is

"Crouching Tiger".

……(￣o￣)……

Flags fluttering.

Horse hooves.

Cao Hong, as the leader of the general's honor guard, walked at the front.

This was Cao Cao's first public appearance after pretending to be... well, injured by an assassin, so naturally he had to put in a lot of effort.

During this period of time, due to the assassination of the general, there are probably no less than a thousand people who have died. If their corpses were thrown into Xu County, it would not be possible to spread them everywhere inside and outside the city...

However, if you don’t see it, you can just ignore it.

At least it was someone else who died and I am still alive.

Cao Cao's army was stationed in Yanzhou and Yuzhou. Those who stayed in Xu County were naturally some elites. As the general's guard of honor, they were the elites among the elites. Coupled with the previous assassination incident, every guard soldier's eyes widened.

, looked around fiercely, and if there was anything slightly wrong, he would immediately rush to kill them, full of murderous intent.

Originally, Cao Cao did not expect to come back so soon, but on the one hand, Xun Yu, and on the other hand, Liu Xie actually prayed for spring rain when offering sacrifices and praying for blessings, which caused the whole government and the public to shake. If Cao Cao himself did not show up again,

,I don’t know what changes will happen...

Therefore, rather than saying that this appearance is Cao Cao's display of authority, it is better to say that Cao Cao is forced to show off like this, like a male dog lifting a leg and squeezing out some urine to mark the ownership of the territory.

The general's ceremonial guard, majestic and impressive, slowly marched forward along the long street, attracting the attention of countless people.

In fact, many people know that Cao Cao has nothing to do, uh, nothing to do, well, that's what I mean, but if they really see Cao Cao, they still pretend to be concerned about the general's injury, greet him with greetings, and take turns to come forward to say hello.

Cao Cao still wore powder, kicked the sachet containing medicine, and acted together.

The road is not very long, but it takes a long time.

Because it goes slowly.

The reason for walking slowly is that waves of people are prostrating themselves on the roadside with chrysanthemum-like smiles...

Cao Cao sneered in his heart, but on the surface he became more and more friendly, and his tone was always kind.

"It is a great blessing for this man to see that the general is well!"

An official with a gray beard shouted loudly, but he thought in his heart that the sky has no eyes to accept this thief...

"God bless the man! God bless the general!"

A scribe sighed with emotion, his eyes filled with tears as if he saw a friend who was implicated and died in this incident...

"The great Han will be victorious! The great general will be victorious!"

Someone took the lead in cheering.

Then a group of people cheered.

In the end, the people who didn't know the situation subconsciously cheered along.

The sound shook the long street.

resounded throughout the palace...

Above the Meridian Gate, the Huangmen eunuch following Liu Xie tilted his head almost imperceptibly and glanced at Liu Xie's face.

Liu Xie smiled, as if he didn't hear any sounds, and seemed not to care about them at all.

In front of the Meridian Gate, the general's honor guard stopped.

"I am so frightened that your Majesty is worried..."

"I am very relieved to see that the general is well..."

At this moment, General Cao Cao was so humble and respectful, and Emperor Liu Xie was so peaceful and caring.

Countless cheers rang out.

Cao Cao's beard twitched slightly and whispered: "Your Majesty... you have grown taller..."

"General..." Liu Xie also whispered back, "Thank you for your hard work..."

When the two people's eyes met, they laughed together, and then waved to the people under the Meridian Gate, expressing the peace, harmony, and vitality of the Han court...

……╰(￣▽￣)╭╰(￣▽￣)╭……

The Mansion of the Han Hussar General.

Fei Qian slowly drank tea and asked, "Is Zhongda leaving?"

Youdao means that happiness alone is not as good as happiness for everyone. How can you hide something as interesting as Sima Yi’s Five Virtues fallacy? It must be shared by everyone...
