A few days later, Pang Xi saw that Liu Bei had accepted the hostages he had returned and roughly accepted the conditions, so he pushed the boat along the river and led the entire city of Chengdu County to surrender, and the treasury was sealed.

Liu Bei was also regarded as opening up the net and leaving him a post of too guard.

Pang Xi originally planned to choose one of the three wealthy counties of Shu, Guanghan, and Qianwei, but of course he couldn't agree. So in the end, the result of the compromise was: Qianwei County was split into two, and half of the land near Nanzhong was split into "Zhudi County", and Pang Xi was the Taishou of Zhudi.

The origin of the name of Zhudi County is naturally because there was originally a Zhudi County (Zhaotong) there, and when the county was demolished, the name of the county was directly used as the name of the new county. In addition, it also has jurisdiction over four counties, including Nanguang, Nanchang and Tanglang.

The jurisdiction is roughly equivalent to the two prefecture-level cities of Zhaotong in Yunnan Province and Liupanshui in Guizhou Province in later times. In terms of area, it is actually not small, just because it is located in the middle of 100,000 mountains, the Han population is sparse, and there are many southern barbarians.

Pang Xi had no choice but to pinch his nose and accept it, and went to be his five-county taishou, and since then he has been marginalized out of Yizhou politics, for this kind of opportunist, this is also the best good end.

Liu Bei didn't want to waste money and money, so he dismissed most of the captured Yizhou soldiers and returned to the farm, so as not to consume too much military food, leaving only most of the descendants to besiege the city.

Liu Bei had discussed with Li Su before he came, and knew that the water of the big family in Yizhou was also quite deep, so he missed Li Su's magical operation when he helped him take Liaodong - that time, before Zhang Chun died, he killed more than half of the two powerful families in Liaodong, the Tian family and the Gongsun family, and the core clansmen in Xiangping City, on the charge of "collaborating with the enemy".

So Liu Bei wanted to wait for Li Su to come back, and figure out how to take advantage of Liu Yan to kill Liu Yan at the same time, and connect some people who are not easy to describe, or let some people be killed by Liu Yan because of "collusion with Liu Bei to surrender", paving the way for future governance.

For this reason, even if it is a month or two late to occupy Mianzhu, it is also possible, anyway, everything must be done before the Chinese New Year, and Li Su will definitely be able to rush back to the Chengdu Plain before the end of November at the latest.

Maybe the current Li Su has completed the final junction work with Huangfu Song? On the way back? Who made Shu Road difficult and dangerous, returning to Chengdu from Chang'an? It may take more than a month to run.

Let's go around first.

……

The words are divided into three ends.

Liu Bei guessed right? When he accepted Pang Xi's surrender; Li Su of the northern line is in the land of Sanfu to deal with the foolish and loyal aftermath of Huangfu Song; Yun Chang, the second brother of the Eastern Front? It has already entered the territory of Jingzhou to "clear the road? In the name of preparing for the discussion of Dong"? Attack the county seat of Zigui.

Let's talk about Li Su's side first, why was he called by Huangfu Song, the remote reason for this is quite complicated.

As mentioned earlier, the two battles of Luyang and Liangdong between Sun Jian and Dong Zhuojun? It happened in August of this year.

But in fact? Soon after the end of the Battle of Liangdong, Dong Zhuo felt that Luoyang was unstable, and in mid-August he officially decided to move Emperor Xian of Han to Chang'an westward—Dong Zhuo had already moved some of the imperial court institutions there in the first half of the year. However, the formal and complete relocation was still marked by Sun Jian's battle of Liangdong, which contributed to Dong Zhuo's determination.

In addition, one more thing must be clarified? The relocation of the emperor came first, and the subsequent relocation of the people, excavation of the imperial tombs around Luoyang and other acts were later.

And so far, Dong Zhuo has not burned down Luoyang City? Because the army is still fighting against the Dong coalition army around Luoyang, Dong Zhuojun himself has to use the facilities around the city? Arson is usually the last step, and it is only set when the army is completely gone.

In the romance? It seems that the robbery of the Son of Heaven, the relocation of the people, the plundering of property, the excavation of the imperial tomb, and the burning of Luoyang were all done in one go? A few words and you're done? In fact, it is a half-year, phased process, which is only pushed forward every few months.

Cao Cao in the camp of the Eastern Jujube Allied Army decided to lead his army westward to fight Dong Zhuo at about the beginning of September after learning the results of Sun Jian's battle of Liangdong and hearing that Dong Zhuo had officially moved the Son of Heaven away and excavated the mausoleum of the first emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

As usual, the vast majority of Yuan Shao's coalition army did not have Cao Cao, but Bao Xin and Zhang Miao still helped in the battle. Bao Xin sent all his men, and Zhang Miao sent some troops.

The two armies finally fought a bloody battle in Chenggao and Xingyang. Because Xu Rong was transferred away in advance, the generals who dealt with Cao Cao this time were also replaced by Lu Bu, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou, but Dong Zhuojun's military advantage was still obvious.

The final result was that Cao Cao was still repulsed, but it was not as miserable as in the original history, and he could still pack up the remnants and retreat, and the 5,000 soldiers and horses sponsored by Weizi withdrew more than 2,000 people, and Cao Cao himself did not fall into the tragic situation of needing his younger brother Cao Hong to "have no flood in the world, and no public man" to let the horse.

It's not that Cao Cao's command ability is not good, but it's really the quality of the soldiers newly recruited by Weizi who spent money is far inferior to the elite veterans of the Xiliang Army who have been fighting for many years.

After Dong Zhuo repelled Cao Cao, he had enough time to retreat, so he asked Lu Bu to spend all his time searching carefully, not letting go of all the tombs of the emperors and queens and concubines around Luoyang, and carefully digging up the valuable things.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo also disliked the heavy and inconvenient handling of the rituals in the Luoyang Temple, and the burial bronzes dug up in the tomb were worthless and unlucky, so he ordered the rituals and all the unearthed bronzes in the Taimiao Temple and other places to be melted into new copper coins, and also said that after arriving in Chang'an, all the rituals that accompanied the Western Capital would also be minted.

At the same time, because the emperor was already on his way to Chang'an, and now the defense of Sanfu was still in the hands of the general Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo was also afraid that Huangfu Song would take advantage of the time difference when he himself was still in the Kwantung region to fight with the princes, and blackmailed the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo summoned Huangfu Song to Luoyang in the name of the Son of Heaven and reappointed him as the ruling Jinwu. Then the emperor was released out of Tongguan to Chang'an, not giving the emperor a chance to take advantage of it.

The time difference in this is sufficient, because the emperor's move was very slow, and in history, the emperor returned to the east later, from June 195 to July 196, before returning to Luoyang from Chang'an. This time, it is normal to go from Luoyang to Chang'an for three or four months, and it is estimated that you will be able to enter the customs at the end of the year.

Huang Fu Song was a general before, and the reappointment to Zhi Jinwu was obviously a demotion, but such a magical order, Huang Fu Song still accepted it for the sake of his reputation of foolishness and loyalty-In the original history, Huang Fu Song's official position at this moment should still be General Zuo, but Dong Zhuo also demoted him by several levels and demoted him to "City Gate Captain", and Huang Fu Song went. Now that the general of the Che Cavalry has been demoted to Jinwu, the degree of demotion is not as good as that of General Zuo to the captain of the city gate.

Huangfu Song's son Huangfu Jianshou persuaded hard, saying that if he went to Luoyang at this time, he would definitely encounter accidents, but Huangfu Song didn't listen and still insisted on going on the road.

Huangfu Song's behavior is different from the only butterfly effect in the original history, but he was bound by the secret decree that promised Empress Lingsi to "protect Princess Wannian as a vassal" (it was Li Su's relayed message), so he decided to be entrusted with the matter of loyalty and ensure the safety of Princess Wannian before leaving Sanfu.

Huangfu Song sent a secret envoy to Nanzheng, and after receiving the report, Lu Su quickly went to Jiangzhou, and notified Li Su in Jiangzhou, asking Li Su to travel thousands of miles to the north.

Because when Li Su received the letter at that time, Zhao Yun had already been sent out by Liu Bei, and Zhou Tai also followed Guan Yu to the eastern front, so Li Su hurriedly took Dian Wei alone and quickly went north.

……

Li Su was in late September, rushed to Chencang City, and saw Huangfu Song.

"The last general, Li Su, see the general of the chariot. Hearing that the general was called, he came in the starry night, and he didn't dare to make a mistake. ”

Li Su is still a lieutenant general, so he calls himself a military position in front of Huangfu Song.

"Don't be polite, you know the purpose of coming this time. I'll soon be no longer a cavalry general, and I won't have to deal with an old man. Huangfu Song is just 60 years old this year, and when Li Su saw him a year ago, his hair was much grayer, obviously due to worry.

Of course, Li Su also has to persuade again: "What the last general has seen, it is the same as Ling Lang, and I ask the general to think twice!" ”

Huangfu Song waved his hand: "There is no need to say anything about this matter!" I am over the age of six, all the sons are not successful, only in the name of loyalty and Hanchen to live this life, you are bad for my late season! If Dong Zhuo really goes against the grain until he is full of evil, he will be punished by God, and there is no shortage of my old decay to contribute-

Bo Yaxian's nephew knows the destiny of heaven, maybe in your heart, Liu Yizhou has long been regarded as the master of Zhongxing in the Kuangfu Han family. I don't know how future generations will write about my Emperor Fu Yizhen, hehehe......"

In the wry smile, it is full of sadness, but it is also mixed with a bit of open-mindedness.

Li Su shook his head and sighed: "Even so, it's useless for me to say more - time is pressing, please ask the general to go back to Chang'an with us, and we will talk while walking." ”

Huangfu Song is currently in Chencang, insisting on returning to Luoyang, and the middle will inevitably pass through Chang'an. After he got Dong Zhuo's summoning edict in the name of the Son of Heaven, it dragged on for more than half a month, and it was not easy to drag Li Su to hurry up.

The two were not hypocritical, Huangfu Song took his own guards and horses, and Li Su also took Dian Wei and five hundred cavalry guards to go along Weishui East together.

After walking for two or three days on the road, Li Su also took the opportunity to learn more about the recent situation of Dong Zhuo in the outside world, and even exchanged his knowledge of Dong Zhuo's atrocities with Huangfu Song.

Li Su knew that Dong Zhuo had harmed Taixue, Taimiao, and the Imperial Mausoleum in history, so he naturally had to talk to Huangfu Song one by one, try to make Huangfu Song more afraid of Dong Zhuo, and let Huangfu Song make some layouts within his ability in order to protect Chang'an Sanfu.

Li Su's persuasion effect is not very good, but he has subtly said a lot, and there is always some benefit.

For example, when he walked to Yixian County the next day, Li Su rode a horse and had an in-depth conversation with Huangfu Song about the topic of "Dong Zhuo melting the imperial court ritual for new money", and Huangfu Song sighed and broke some news he knew:

"I heard that Dong Zhuo has crossed me and asked Jing Zhaoyin to cooperate with him to melt all the ceremonial vessels on Chang'an's side into money, which is really not what a minister should do...... That's it, it's better to think of a way, let the princess of Wannian go with you, take away some of the court rituals that accompany the temple treasury, and it can be regarded as the princess's dowry. It's just that how to let Princess Wannian go to Nanzheng, or even Chengdu, still needs some excuses. ”

As soon as Huangfu Song said that he could move the princess to send a dowry gift, Li Su was not sleepy all of a sudden, and he immediately made a plan: "I can't hide it, before Queen Lingsi, there was a secret message to me, saying that once she encounters an accident, she will ...... in the future The abolished young emperor also died, and the parents and brothers of the princess of Wannian no longer existed, and she was willing to ask her uncle to raise her and marry on behalf of her in the future.

Last year, I did not inform General Che Cai of this message, because Empress Lingsi and the abolished Young Emperor did not all abandon the world. And now, Dong Zhuo really went against the grain and killed the abolished emperor. The conditions attached to Empress Lingsi's last words are all ripe, and I also know the general's loyalty, so I have the courage to tell him. ”

Huangfu Song frowned: "The first consequence has this edict?" ”

Li Su's expression was awe-inspiring: "If I am willing to fake Yi's will, how many benefits have been obtained, will it be for this little profit?" The general of the Che Cavalry would rather believe that Dong Zhuo had to coerce the emperor than believe that my generation of Han Zhongliang was good? ”

Huangfu Song arched his hand: "I don't mean this, even so, let you do it, if someone asks, I can explain, just say that it was the will of the empress dowager." It's just that what the Queen Mother said, 'If your parents and brothers are not there, you will entrust the princess to the uncle of the clan', this refers to ......"

Li Su: "Of course, it's the current emperor's uncle, Xuande Gong, the general of the expedition to the west!" Empress Lingsi knew that among the clansmen of the same generation appointed by the first emperor, only Xuande Gong, who had been Zongzheng, was the most loyal, so she entrusted her only daughter to Xuande Gong with the gift of her brother and sister-in-law, so what is the doubt? ”

Huangfu Song breathed a sigh of relief: "In this case, it is easy to do, I have asked Princess Wannian to take her to Chang'an, and when we return to Chang'an, she should also arrive." When the time comes, Chang'an will accompany the temples and the old palace of the imperial court, and you will take the princess of Wannian to take the dowry utensils and other things. ”

Both parents and brothers are dead, and the orphan daughter is entrusted to the uncle to raise, and the uncle will have to worry about the niece's marriage in the future, prepare the dowry, and take some things from the niece's family for the niece, which is too natural.
