Liu Yan died of illness, and Dong Hu did not expect Liu Zhang to win the final victory. However, if such a thing happened, there must be internal reasons and logic. When he sat alone in the study and thought carefully, the only reason that could convince him was that it was the same as the situation after Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, which was not the inheritance of the eldest son Liu Qi, but the youngest son Liu Cong won the final victory. It was normal for this phenomenon to happen to the heirs of the princes. After all, the young and incompetent lords were more in the interests of the following ministers.

When Liu Yan entered Yizhou and Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, both of them had very clever political skills, but they also had the same fatal disadvantage. That is, when they entered Yizhou and Jingzhou, they did not carry their own troops and had to compromise with the local powerful families, and then they could control the place through political means of pulling and fighting.

Liu Biao was very politically wise, and when he entered Jingzhou, he was already tied to the interests of the local family in Jingzhou. It was unrealistic for Liu Xie and the court to kill Liu Biao in a short time, but Liu Yan in Yizhou died of illness, which gave the court the best opportunity to take over Yizhou. However, he did not expect Xun Yu to speak in person about "Hanzhong County".

Hanzhong County belongs to Yizhou and is an extremely important strategic location. If Chang'an controls Hanzhong, it can threaten the Sichuan-Shu Valley plains at all times; Chengdu controls Hanzhong, which not only cuts off the road from Guanzhong to Shu, but also can always observe the three auxiliary places of Chang'an.

When there is no chance, he will wait for the opportunity, but once he has the chance, he will definitely take down Hanzhong County without hesitation and eliminate the threat from the south of Chang'an.

Sichuan and Shu have a complex terrain and are almost bound to have many passes. It is a dream to take Sichuan and Shu in a short time, so Dong Hu has no plans to enter Sichuan in a short time. He needs to wait for an opportunity, but he did not expect that the court would have the idea of ​​moving the capital to Chengdu.

From ancient times to the present, only Liu Bang succeeded in the world by Shu, and Liu Bang's success was also very lucky. This luck only applies to Xiang Yu, because Xiang Yu had no ambition to be an emperor at all. Xiang Yu only wanted to be the overlord of Western Chu. In the next two thousand years, no one could dominate the world with Sichuan and Shu.

Dong Hu knew that later generations were extremely hoping that Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition would be successful, but he did not think that the Northern Expedition would be successful. Even if Zhuge Liang lived for another hundred years, even if Liangzhou was taken away by Shu Han, the Northern Expedition would not be successful.

Dong Hu was from Liangzhou. He knew the nature of Liangzhou. Although Zhuge Liang entered Longshan from Hanzhong, the soldiers of Shu Han only entered the Wei River Road. In Anding County to the north, the northern county surrendered to Shu Han. It seemed that the form was very good. Seeing that Liangzhou's strategy was caused by Ma Su's failure, these were all false. Even if Liangzhou was given to Shu Han, Zhuge Liang's revival of the Han Dynasty would be just a dream.

Liangzhou Qiang rebelled repeatedly for hundreds of years. They had their own rules of survival. It was normal for Hulala to surrender here and then rebel the next moment.

Cao Wei occupied the central plains and Liangzhou Qiang people rebelled, and they could mobilize elite troops to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion within a few months. However, if the troops were mobilized from Sichuan and Shu to quell the rebellion, just one grain transport could exhaust people to death. As for Zhuge Liang's benevolence and righteousness, it would be used in other places and used in Liangzhou people... Huangfu Gui in Sanming, Liangzhou killed 800 enemies and recruited 100,000 Qiang people. What happened? The next year, the 100,000 Qiang people rebelled again. Which one of Gai Xun and Fu Xie did not have the kindness and morality to recruit? What happened? Gai Xun was captured and Fu Xie died.

Zhuge Liang used the name of "Zhongxing Han Dynasty" to be used on the people of the Central Plains, and on Shu people, but it was useless to the people of Liangzhou. In the Han Dynasty for four hundred years, the Liangzhou Qiang rebelled repeatedly for four hundred years. When the Han Dynasty was majestic, the Liangzhou Qiang was disobedient. When the Han Dynasty fell, the Liangzhou people would care about the "Han Dynasty" banner?

Dong Hu knew the nature of Liangzhou people very well. Liangzhou people only respected the strong. Seeing Zhuge Liang just ran to the Wei River Road and countless Liangzhou people took the initiative to surrender. It seemed that the Northern Expedition was expected, but the reality was cruel. Hulala surrender was a normal phenomenon in Liangzhou, and they were all waiting for Zhuge Liang to send them money and food.

If Zhuge Liang gave food, he had to transport food from Sichuan to Liangzhou; if he didn't give it, the people of Liangzhou would become scabies that the Shu army could not cope with. There was Cao Wei in front and Liangzhou Qiang in the back, and Zhuge Liang had to honestly retreat to Sichuan and Shu. As for Ma Chao as a general... When Ma Chao fled to Hanzhong County, he became an abandoned disciple of Liangzhou, and there would be no Liangzhou people following him at all, let alone Ma Chao was unreliable.

Zhuge Liang made a northern expedition and wanted to take Liangzhou first and then take the Guanzhong Plain. It seemed that his strategic vision was far-sighted, but the reality was difficult to achieve. Liangzhou Qiang was not Meng Huo of Yizhou County. Even Meng Huo would have captured seven times. The Qiang people fought with the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, and the rebellion was much more than Yizhou.

The Yizhou man is a mountain infantry, the Qiang people are mountain cavalry, and the Qiang people fled if they can't defeat it. There is basically no chance for Sichuan and Shu infantry to catch up with four-legged cavalry. In the mountains and rivers of Sichuan, it is difficult for infantry to encircle and annihilate the cavalry in the loess gullies and hills. These are not the most important. The most important thing is that Liangzhou has experienced Beigong Boyu, Shaodang Laowang, Han Sui, and Ma Teng toss it over and over again, and Liangzhou has become a desolate place. Once the Qiang people rebel and flee, Zhuge Liang could not even chase and kill him, and there was no possibility of obtaining supplies along the way.

The Qiang people rebelled, and there was no grace to express. When there was profit, they rebelled. When there was no profit, they killed the leader and surrendered directly to the court. However, the court had no choice but to have no choice. Liangzhou was full of Qiang people. If they were not allowed to surrender, they had to continue fighting.

But what benefits can Zhuge Liang give to the Qiang people in Liangzhou? Transport grain from Sichuan and Sichuan to feed the Qiang people? Or can you give the Qiang people peace of mind to recuperate? Or will you give the fertile plains of Guanzhong to the Qiang people?

Nothing can be given. At the beginning, Liangzhou people would rush to Zhuge Liang to cry and surrender. The reason is not complicated. Cao Cao's military farming in Liangzhou was divided into "Four Six" parts, that is, military farming soldiers accounted for 60% and government officials accounted for 40%, which is better than the "Fifth Five-Year Plan" parts of the military farming soldiers in the Central Plains. However, Liangzhou's land was barren, and military farming soldiers not only had to farm but also fought. According to the temperament of Liangzhou people, they naturally did not want to. After Zhuge Liang ran to Liangzhou, many people naturally opened the city to surrender.

The key is, what can Zhuge Liang give to the people of Liangzhou? Will Zhuge Liang not be farming in Liangzhou? Liangzhou was caused by Han Sui and Ma Teng for 20 years, and a large number of people died. Shu Han and Cao Wei could fight tens of thousands of troops on the Shu Road, but once the war expanded, they would fight in Chencang Road, Baoxi Road, Ziwu Road, Tangluo Road, Weishui Road, Longshan Road, and even in the entire Liangzhou. Once the war blossomed from all sides, Cao Wei could draw 200,000 and 300,000 troops from the Central Plains. How many troops could Shu Han draw?

How much money and food is needed for such a huge war? Once such a war is carried out in Liangzhou, the share of the farmland will be meaningless. All the harvests must be filled into the army and used for war. With the temperament of the Liangzhou people, it would be strange if they don’t make Zhuge Liang’s rebellion!

The Han Dynasty was strong and used methods to kill the Qiang in Liangzhou, and methods to recruit and comfort them. The Han Dynasty has countless capable people and patriotic people for hundreds of years, but it has not been able to solve the problem of the Qiang rebellion. What ability does Zhuge Liang have? Nothing is given to the people of Liangzhou. Just relying on the banner of the "Han Dynasty" can make the people of Liangzhou honestly be robbers?

Isn't this nonsense?

Dong Hu believed that the only way for Zhuge Liang to succeed in the Northern Expedition was to take the lead in taking Guanzhong. The people of Guanzhong were similar in character to those of the Central Plains, and the Sili School Command, which had influenced the Han Dynasty for four hundred years. Once the Guanzhong Plain was taken down, it would be easy for Zhuge Liang to use the Han Dynasty to win the hearts of the people, which was far better than the Liangzhou people who were surreal in character.

The key is that Chencang Road, Baoxi Road, Ziwu Road, and Tangluo Road are not easy to walk on!

Dong Hu believed that if Zhuge Liang could not enter Guanzhong through Chencang Road, Baoxi Road, Ziwu Road, and Tangluo Road, and could not defeat Cao Wei's troops in Guanzhong, the Northern Expedition would be nothing. As for the help of Liangzhou's power... it was just his wishful thinking.

And now, the court has no chance.

Dong Hu adopted the policy of military troops garrisoning and raising troops in Liangzhou. He raised one soldier in 500 acres of land. In order to further reduce the burden on the people, soldiers themselves also had military troops to garrison and support themselves, which was very light on the people themselves. In addition, the "borrow one and pay one" lending policy was vigorously opened for school education, and the rebellious Qiang people still had the mark of the word "Dong" on their foreheads...

Under various measures, it is nonsense that the court wants to raise the banner of "Zhongxing Han Dynasty" to win over the hearts of the people of Liangzhou.

Liangzhou cannot leverage its power, and the six cabinet ministries moved to Chang'an again, and the same low-tuition policy for raising the people was also the same. Sichuan and Sichuan had no chance of entering the Guanzhong Plain...

After Xun Yu spoke "Hanzhong County", Dong Hu knew that the history of the Han Dynasty was over. If he had given the court a glimmer of hope before, now, Liu Xie personally wiped out the last glimmer of hope. As for the hidden meaning in Xun Yu's words, Yizhou seized the entire Jiangnan and then seized the world... This was just a dream.

It takes one or two months to enter Jingzhou from Chengdu along the river. After taking a boat from Jingzhou to Wujun, one or two months to convey the government orders, how could the court ensure that the generals sent by the court would not become the vassal princes again in an era of chaos in the hearts of the people?

It is impossible to guarantee that Chengdu has never become the imperial capital for thousands of years since ancient times, and at most it is the capital of Sichuan and Sichuan.

In this era, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou and Jiaozhou were not really developed. There were many mountains and forests, and governance was particularly difficult. In addition, the world was in chaos and there were many princes. The court ran to Sichuan and Shu meant that it was on the brink of the empire's political brink. The political influence could no longer affect the various princes with ulterior motives. It was even more serious than the court ran to Liangzhou and Bingzhou. Although it could be independent, it lost the entire world.

If the imperial court was located in Xiangyang, its political influence could still radiate to Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jiaozhou and Yizhou. If it could integrate people's hearts, there might be a glimmer of hope for the Han Dynasty in Zhongxing, but now, there is no hope.

Dong Hu didn't expect the court to enter Yizhou. He was not mentally prepared. After Xun Yu spoke, it was too late to stop him. Liu Xie and the court must have entered Yizhou first.

Xun Yu said that Liu Bian was the prefect of Hanzhong, and he could understand the reason. After all, Xu Huang had been in Hanzhong County for four or five years and had won over many Ba County Banyan, which posed a great threat to Yizhou. This was just an external threat. There were also many challenges within Yizhou. It would take a long time to win over the hearts of the people.

After so many disasters, the court wanted a territory that could be completely controlled, and it was normal to develop and grow in a relatively safe environment. Moreover, the court did not completely give up its ambitions and wanted to unify the entire Jiangnan region through Yizhou. If there is a huge threat behind it, how can it unify Jiangnan? How can it unify the world and revive the Han Dynasty?
