Ji Han was about to rise and fall. Chapter 360: Liangzhou's plan Zhuge Liang returned to his seat and drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat. He continued, "Does Mingzhi still remember the strategy of restoration proposed by you and me when they first met?"

When Yang Qing heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and his thoughts suddenly returned to the winter of the first year of Jianxing. Because of his fame, he was finally received by Prime Minister Zhuge. When he first met, he wanted to tell the Prime Minister and Pan that he had a unified plan. Therefore, he was attracted by the Prime Minister and was summoned as the chief clerk, and since then he embarked on the journey of the Sanxing Han Dynasty.

"Time flies so fast. I don't want to see that five years have passed. After five years of hard work, Ji Han's first Northern Expedition did not repeat the mistakes of his previous life. Now he has conquered Longyou and defeated Zhang He, which is a great result.

However, I remember that the first major step of the restoration strategy proposed at that time should be to become the power of a strong Qin. Now Ji Han has only recovered Longyou, and Guanzhong, Liangzhou and the Western Regions have not yet been captured. The power of a strong Qin is still far away. At this moment, it is only a small step."

Looking back on the past, Yang Qingzhen was deeply moved and replied with a smile: "Of course Qing remembers, I have never dared to forget it for several years."

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Yes, I remember clearly. Although I have recovered Longyou, I am still far from the momentum of the powerful Qin that you mentioned back then."

"Prime Minister, don't worry. Since Longyou has been restored, Liangzhou is also within reach. As long as the army has been rested, we can plot against Liangzhou. By then, the pseudo-Wei will no longer be owned by the pseudo-Wei to the west of Longshan, and my great Han can point his sword to Guanzhong."

"Haha, I was just about to talk to you about Liangzhou, but I didn't expect you to come up with it first. I guess you have a clever plan on how the imperial court can recover Liangzhou."

Yang Qing said: "Miao Ce doesn't dare to take it. Qing just has some ideas. If there is any mistake, please don't make fun of the Prime Minister."

After a pause, he continued: "Prime Minister, the seven counties of Liangzhou are vast and sparsely populated, with many Qiang and Hu. Rebellions have often occurred since the Later Han Dynasty. In the past few decades, Bian Zhang, Han Sui, Song Jian, Su Heng, Tuo Guang and others have successively launched rebellions and separatist cities. Among them are Han tyrants and Qiang and Hu tyrants, which shows that the place is not in deep kingdom.

In recent years, the pseudo-Wei sent Zhang Ji and other capable officials to Liangzhou as officials. Although they suppressed the rebellions of all sizes and implemented some measures to pacify the people, barely stabilizing the situation in Liangzhou, the current situation of the powerful Liangzhou and the Guandong court's disagreement did not change much, which provided favorable conditions for our Han Dynasty to recover Liangzhou.

Now our Han Dynasty has recaptured Longyou, and Liangzhou is isolated to the west, making it difficult to connect with Longdong. Xu Miao and others are weak, with up to 10,000 soldiers and horses under their command. It is clear that in order to resist the royal army, Xu Miao will recruit the powerful Liangzhou, and Qiang and Hu will participate in defending the city. Therefore, we only need to prescribe the right medicine to recover Liangzhou."

"In your opinion, what should I do?" Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan with his right hand and smiled with his left hand.

Yang Qing said: "Prime Minister, Qing thought that the recovery of Liangzhou could be followed by the three strategies."

"Oh? What are the three strategies?"

"Recruiting the powerful, connecting Qiang and Hu, and isolating Xu Miao."

Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed when he heard this, he lowered his left hand, stroking his beard, and said with a smile: "Tell me carefully."

"Yes." Yang Qing bowed and replied: "The powerful people should put family interests first and are accustomed to judging the situation.

Now that the Han Dynasty has annihilated tens of thousands of Wei soldiers, the soldiers are becoming more and more powerful, the officials and people in Liangzhou will be terrified, and the powerful Liangzhou has always been incompatible with the Guandong family. On this occasion, there are probably many powerful families who intend to surrender to our Han Dynasty. Maybe someone will come to the west to take effect in the near future.

Therefore, the Prime Minister could send envoys to sneak into Liangzhou to understand the pros and cons of the local tyrants, and then use the qualifications of Qing tea and Shu brocade to lure them. With such kindness and power, the Qing Dynasty believed that most of the powerful and powerful gentry in Liangzhou were willing to surrender to the Han Dynasty.

In this way, our army can not only have internal information, but also weaken the power of Xu Miao and others, killing two birds with one stone."

Zhuge Liang nodded and smiled, "Good. Let's continue."

"Secondly, General Cavalry was brave and good at fighting in Liangzhou, and he was good at ease with Qiang and Hu. Qiang and Hu respected him bravely and bravely, and once called him the Shenwei Tian General, which shows the prestige of the Ma family in Liangzhou.

Therefore, the Prime Minister could ask General Zhonghua to connect the Qiang and Hu in Liangzhou with the old wishes of the Ma family, and promised to cooperate with the army's uprising with a large sum of money. Of course, he could still lure him into the way of tea and horses, so that Xu Miao and others could be further isolated."

In fact, Ma Dai has been using their Ma family's prestige to pacify Qiang and Hu in recent years. However, in the past, Ji Han was in decline and trapped in Shu, only the Qiang and Hu in the Yinping area of ​​Wudu responded, but the effect was not obvious for the Qiang and Hu in Liangzhou, which was located in remote Liangzhou.

It was not until Yang Qing made the tea that there were more tribes in Liangzhou who had secretly communicated with Ma Dai, but that was limited to this. It was possible to give information and make it impossible for them to cause trouble.

But it is different now. Ji Han recovered the four counties of Longyou and won the Jieting victory, showing his strong strength to compete with Cao Wei.

In this way, Ji Han could use the great victory of annihilation of tens of thousands of Wei soldiers to subdue the Qiang and Hu in various places, and the tribes in Liangzhou would compete to compete with each other.

"Well, Zhonghua has been ordered to secretly connect the Qianghu in Liangzhou for several years. Now it is time to harvest results. When the Yinping War in Wudu is over, he can start doing this." Zhuge Liang said

"What the Prime Minister said is very much."

Zhuge Liang said again: "Your third plan is to isolate Xu Miao. I think the first two plans are the method of isolating it?"

"The Prime Minister hit the nail on the head." Yang Qing replied: "Xu Miao just took office as the governor of Liangzhou, the pseudo-Wei Liangzhou this year. It has only been three months since then, and his gratitude has not been established and his foundation is unstable.

In this way, we can use many means to isolate this person. The Qing Dynasty said earlier that it was about to recruit powerful people and connect Qiang and Hu to isolate him from within Liangzhou, but this is not enough. We must also isolate this person from outside Liangzhou."

"External Liangzhou?"

"That's right." Yang Qing took a sip of tea and explained: "Prime Minister, although our army occupied Longyou has isolated the main roads between Liangzhou and Longdong, Xu Miao and others can still detour from the grasslands to the north to connect with the pseudo-Wei court, and Wei's reinforcements can also borrow from the grasslands to Liangzhou.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although Wei Ting may not have many reinforcements, or only one or two waves, as long as there are foreign aids, Xu Miao and others will still have the desire to resist, and those powerful households will also be hesitant because of their concerns.

Therefore, we must cut off Xu Miao's foreign aid channel and completely trap him in the dilemma of being cut off from inside and outside, and being isolated and helpless."

"So how to cut off the grassland passage in the north?"

Yang Qing said: "If the Wei court wanted to support Liangzhou, it would definitely pass through Henan, which was originally Shuofang and Wuyuan counties. After the Southern Xiongnu returned to the Han Dynasty, they were placed here.

In the early years of Jian'an, Cao Cao divided the Southern Xiongnu into five tribes and sent people to supervise them. He moved all the Han people here to Xinxing County, so the current Henan territory has basically become a foreign territory. The Xiongnu, the Dongqiang people, and the Xianbei people all live here.

Although these Qiang and Hu tribes were surrendered to Cao Wei, they had always been in the two ends of the rat and were disobedient. Therefore, they could send envoys to Hetao to bribe these tribes with a lot of money, so they could close the road and not allow the Wei soldiers to pass through. If they were afraid of Cao Wei, at least they would agree to report the movements of the Wei soldiers to us.

Of course, the most important thing is to rely on ourselves. These Qiang and Hu are just using external forces. Anding County is at the entrance of Hetao. After General Wu swept away the peace, he can set up more beacon posts along the way. Once the Wei army comes, they will immediately send troops to intercept them.

Such a two-pronged approach should be used to stop the reinforcements sent by Wei Ting to Liangzhou. In this way, Xu Miao and other Wei officials had to trap Liangzhou and were isolated and helpless. When the time came, the court sent a large army to conquer Liangzhou, and they would definitely be able to recover Liangzhou in one go."

After saying that, he bowed and bowed and gave a bow: "These are my stupid opinions, I hope the Prime Minister will not make fun of him."

"Haha, what Mingzhi said is very much in line with my wishes, isn't it a joke?" Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "Your plan is not only comprehensive but also very detailed. It coincides with me. It seems that the arrangement was made by you as the governor of Yongzhou."

Yang Qing asked in confusion: "Did the Prime Minister want to abolish the Liangzhou system of the pseudo-Wei and transfer the seven counties including Wuwei into Yongzhou?"

"You guys think beautifully. Can you control so many counties and counties have been incorporated into Yongzhou?" Zhuge Liang said angrily: "Besides, Wen Chang is now in charge of the governor of Liangzhou. How could he remove Liangzhou?"

Yang Qing smiled embarrassedly when he heard this. He actually forgot about Wei Yan taking the governor of Liangzhou. He thought that Zhuge Liang had handed over the errand to him, the upcoming governor of Yongzhou.

"I mean that in the future, the army will take Longyou as the basis. If you can understand the court's recovery strategy, it will be much easier to cooperate with the army of conquering the army in the future."
