Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

"Teacher, when do you think we can return to the north?" Zhao Chen said.

"I'm afraid it will take a few years to return to the north! But by that time, we will not be alone like we are now! By that time, Zhe Keqiu should have been taken by us, and we already have With our own army, we can decide the ups and downs of the world!" Li Gang said.

They are standing here now, Yue Fei, Wang De and others are standing in the distance to guard them, and no one from the Zhejia Army will hear what they say.

"Well! I hope so! I hope this old thief secretly drove the Wu Jie brothers away. It is impossible for me to see them before I leave!" Zhao Chen said.

"Zhe Keqiu wants to completely control His Highness, so naturally His Highness is not allowed to see them!" Li Gang said.

"Forget it, let's continue to be patient! Continue to accumulate strength! Teacher, after arriving in Hanzhong, what will happen to the situation?" Zhao Chen said.

"After arriving in Hanzhong, it is very likely that if you ask for it, you will drive me, Li Ruoshui, Yue Fei and others away from His Highness, so that His Highness will become a real lonely person! Your Highness is only over ten years old, just a boy , it will be much easier for him to control it!" Li Gang said.

Zhao Chen nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Teacher, after you leave my side, you will definitely be persecuted again! I hope you will endure the persecution outside and develop secretly at the same time. When the opportunity is ripe, you will help me." I will get rid of Zhe Keqiu!"

"Naturally!" Li Gang nodded and said.

"Thank you so much, teacher!" Zhao Chen bowed down and saluted respectfully, and said.

Since coming to this era, he seldom salutes people like this, it is really because Li Gang has helped him a lot, he is both a teacher and a friend, he is really grateful to Li Gang in his heart!

"What is His Royal Highness doing? You are a monarch and I am a subject. Isn't it natural for me to help you? A humble official cannot afford such a great gift!" Li Gang said hurriedly, feeling inexplicably grateful.

"You all can afford such a great gift! You are all right-hand men of my Zhao Chen. If I can really take charge of the government one day, I will definitely not forget the kindness you have shown me now!" Zhao Chen said firmly.

"Your Highness, I really don't know how to repay you for saying this..." Li Gang said with wet eyes.

"Let's go, let's go to Hanzhong! On the way, I have to ask the teacher to tell me about the situation in Hanzhong!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

*** ***

The Zhejia army has already started to leave Dashanguan, and Zhao Chen, Li Gang and others have also left Dashanguan!

This time, Zhao Chen, Li Gang and others did not continue to ride horses, but sat in the carriage!

In the carriage, Li Gang began to explain to Zhao Chen the geographical knowledge of Hanzhong, as well as some historical allusions of Hanzhong and so on.

Ancient Hanzhong is completely different from modern Hanzhong! In modern times, Hanzhong was a part of Shaanxi, but in ancient times, Hanzhong was a political institution of the same level as Shaanxi.

Historically, during the Qin Dynasty, Hanzhong belonged to the national first-level administrative office. At that time, Hanzhong was one of the thirty-six counties divided by Qin Shihuang! In the Tang Dynasty, this place belonged to the capital of Shannan West Road! In the Song Dynasty, "roads" were used as the first-level political office of the country, and there were various divisions such as Hedong Road, Hebei Road, Jingdong Road, Jingxi Road, etc. Roads were equivalent to provinces, while Hanzhong was the administrative office of Lizhou Road. where!

Until the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols occupied Hanzhong. In order to cut off the connection between the Hanzhong area and the Chengdu area, so that Sichuan "has no danger to defend", the Mongols revoked Hanzhong's status as a national first-level administrative and political office, and merged Hanzhong. Entering the Guanzhong area, Hanzhong has since become part of Shaanxi Province.

But geographically, Hanzhong is undoubtedly closer to Sichuan and Sichuan! The climate here is also closer to Sichuan and Sichuan, and even the culture here is close to Sichuan and Sichuan, and the voices of the people here have a Sichuan flavor!

Zhao Chen didn't know much about these things before, but now, listening to Li Gang's words, he nodded slightly!

The carriage has already traveled for half a day, but it is still on the mountain! The road traffic in ancient times was extremely backward. When they went down the mountain, they often encountered no way to go. At this time, they needed an army to open the way! If there is no Zhejia army, I am afraid that the speed of march will be even slower!

"Hanzhong's position is extremely important. It can be called the gateway to Shu, connecting the north and the south! This is a battleground for military strategists! Here, the most famous person is undoubtedly Han Gaozu Liu Bang! Does Your Highness know Liu Bang? "Li Gang said.

"Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, he was born in a reckless manner. There are legends that he was just a gangster before becoming the emperor!" Zhao Chen nodded and said.

As the most famous emperor Liu Bang in history, Zhao Chen naturally understood it.

"Your Highness is right. Liu Bang was indeed born as a gangster, but there is a reason why he was able to win the world! Does Your Highness know the reason?" Li Gang said.

"This... please tell the teacher!" Zhao Chen said.

As a third year student in high school, after coming to this era, he also studied all kinds of knowledge hard, but except for a period of time in the palace, he was fleeing for the rest of the time, so what he learned was effective! Regarding Liu Bang, he only knows some basic knowledge. He has no idea why Liu Bang was able to win the world or what unique qualities Liu Bang has.

"He was able to win the world, first of all because he knows people and uses them well! Liu Bang has three ministers of civil and military affairs, who are called the Three Heroes of the early Han Dynasty in historical materials. Your Highness should know these three people?" Li Gang said.

"Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Han Xin!" Zhao Chen nodded.

"That's right, it's these three people! Zhang Liang was strategizing and winning thousands of miles away. Xiao He guarded the country, appeased the people, made the rear stable, and allowed the military supplies to be transported to the front line continuously. Han Xin led millions of people to fight You must win, you must attack! These three people can be regarded as extremely outstanding people both at that time and in our Han history of more than a thousand years! With the help of these three people, Liu Bang will naturally be able to win the world!" Li Gang said.

"I see!" Zhao Chen nodded.

"As Your Highness said just now, Liu Bang was born as a gangster. He can't even read big characters, he doesn't have martial arts skills, and he doesn't know how to command troops. In these respects, he is much worse than Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and Han Xin. , but he can use talents, so he can win the world! For a king, it is not necessary to be illiterate, not to know martial arts, not to be able to lead troops to fight, but as long as he can know people and make good use of them, he can hand things over to his capable subordinates If people do it, this is a good king, I hope His Highness will keep this in mind!" Li Gang said.

"I understand!" Zhao Chen nodded.

In a society ruled by man, knowing people and making good use of them is the king's most outstanding ability! Being able to discover talents and make use of talents, even if the king himself does not have much ability, can make the country prosperous and strong, and make himself a so-called "sage king"! In fact, not only in ancient times, but in modern China, if a superior can know people and make good use of them, then the place he governs will definitely not be too bad! This is true not only in politics, but also in shopping malls, or even in any field! If you have the ability to know people and make good use of them, then you are the best superior!

"It's a pity, since the Han Dynasty, there have been no such outstanding people as Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and Han Xin!" Li Gang said with a soft sigh.

"Who said there is no? There are outstanding people who can compare to Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and Han Xin in this era! The teacher is outstanding in resourcefulness and helped me escape from Kaifeng, Xiangzhou and other places, and finally came to the northwest. Now that I have settled down completely, the teacher can compare You can compare to Zhang Liang! The teacher used to be the prime minister, he used to govern the country, and he is quite organized, which can also be compared to Xiao He! As for Han Xin, I think Yue Fei can compare to Han Xin!" Zhao Chen said.

"How dare the old minister stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhang Liang and Xiao He? As for Yue Fei, he is an unknown boy. Although he is very skilled in martial arts, if he wants to compare with Han Xin, he may still be far behind!" Li Gang shook his head.

"That may not be true! You are all the right-hand men of this palace, how can you not compare to Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and Han Xin?" Zhao Chen laughed.

Li Gang was the number one prime minister in Nandu, and it was Li Gang and others who maintained the peaceful situation in the Southern Song Dynasty, allowing the Southern Song Dynasty to continue to exist for a hundred years! As for Yue Fei, he is the most famous national hero of the Chinese nation, with outstanding achievements throughout his life, almost no one in this era can compare! Yue Fei's strategy of war is no small matter, even if it is really comparable to Han Xin, I'm afraid it's not too different!

Zhao Chen's comparison is not an exaggeration!

"Veterans dare not compare with the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty! Your Highness, Liu Bang was able to win the world. In addition to knowing people and using them well, he is also good at forbearance!" Li Gang said again.

"Oh? Is he also good at forbearance?" Zhao Chen asked.

"That's right! At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the princes rose together, and the world was in chaos. The princes discussed, and the one who entered Xianyang first was the king! Liu Bang entered Xianyang first, but Liu Bang did not become king! Doesn't he want to be king? No, he knows that his strength is not enough. It’s not the strongest, becoming the king now will only become the target of public criticism! Therefore, not only did he not become the king, but he withdrew from Xianyang, and gave Xianyang to the strongest Xiang Yu, making Xiang Yu the target of public criticism, and he retreated to Hanzhong! Isn’t this Forbearance?" Li Gang said.

"What the teacher said is right!" Zhao Chen nodded.

"Liu Bangnai was born as a gangster. He likes money and beautiful women. But after taking down Xianyang, he didn't move his property, and women didn't have anything to do. This is tolerance! In order to achieve his goals, he can suppress his desires. This is Liu Bangren's will." The truth!" Li Gang said.

"Liu Bang has many advantages!" Zhao Chen nodded.

"Historical records show that Liu Bang is a heroic man who is good at dealing with people. He can make friends even with the gatekeepers, so the heroes of the world are willing to use them! He also knows his mistakes and can correct them. Even after becoming an emperor, if he finds himself If you make a mistake, correct it immediately! Although this person came from a humble background, he is tenacious and bold. He took advantage of the chaos and recruited heroes from all over the world. In the end, he was able to open up the 400-year Han Dynasty! Your Highness, you must learn from Han Gaozu carefully. !” Li Gang said.

"Teacher, don't worry, I will learn from Han Gaozu Liu Bang!" Zhao Chen said.

Now he also suddenly discovered that this emperor who was born as a gangster in history is indeed extraordinary, with many advantages in him, all of which are worth learning by himself! After all, he will also be the emperor in the future!

"In addition to Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, there was another character in Hanzhong, Liu Bei! At the end of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei also became the king of Hanzhong and became the king of Hanzhong! It's just that Liu Bei failed in the end and did not win the world!" Li Gang said.

"Why did Liu Bei fail?" Zhao Chen asked curiously.

He is very interested in this question. In modern society, Liu Bei's Shu Han is "orthodox" whether he reads Romance of the Three Kingdoms novels or TV dramas. There are most stories about Shu Han in it, but Shu Han failed in the end, so He was curious!

"Liu Bei did not fail. Before Liu Bei died, Shu Han was still one of the Three Kingdoms! At that time, the Three Kingdoms were still tied together, and Cao Wei did not have the ability to destroy Shu! The death of Shu Han was after Liu Chan succeeded to the throne! The reasons for this are complicated. There are disputes over monarchy and mutual persuasion. The relationship between Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang is not as harmonious as recorded in historical data. There are also disputes between Zhuge Liang and Li Yan, two Tuogu ministers, and official disputes between the Jingzhou faction and the Sichuan and Shu faction. A lot of internal strife caused the Shu Han to consume a lot of national power, and after Zhuge Liang's death, the Shu Han was already an empty shell..." Li Gang began to speak slowly.

Zhao Chen sat there and listened carefully. The so-called "Take copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes, take people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses, and take history as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs." He comes from modern society, and his vision goes beyond this era. Governing the country, regarding politics, he still has countless things to learn from Li Gang!

All the way passed slowly like this, and in the evening, they came down from the mountain! At this moment, Zhe Keqiu ordered to set up camp, and they rested at the foot of the mountain for the night.

The next morning, they continued on their way!

There are many mountains here, coupled with the limited population density in ancient times, they often don't meet a single person in a day!

Along the way, Zhao Chen not only listened to Li Gang explaining geography and history, but also occasionally asked Yue Fei, Wang De and others about martial arts!

Along the way, they really felt the arrival of spring! The willows have already sprouted, and occasionally you can see the freshly grown grass! This is south of the Qinling Mountains, and the climate is quite different from that in the north!

After walking for five full days, the terrain gradually became flat, and Zhao Chen knew that they had arrived at what later generations called the "Hanzhong Basin"! This is the granary of Shaanxi. It was called "Land of Fish and Rice, Home of National Treasures" in ancient times. Here, it is not far from Hanzhong City!

After another three days, after passing through countless villages and towns, they finally saw a big city in the distance!
