Chapter 482 All roads lead to Chengdu

……………………………………

At this time, the Seventh Army can be described as a soldier with enough food, before Lu Chang conquered Shangyong, subdued the local Haoqiang Shen Tan and Shen Yi brothers, opened up the line between Hanzhong and Nanyang, so that the entire southern defense line, from Mount Tai in the east to Qishan in the west. Therefore, this time the new Seventh Army, Lu Chang was promoted because of his merits and became the deputy commander of the Seventh Army and the commander of the division.

At the same time, under the strategy of Chen Ran and Sima Lang to suppress and appease, they also gathered many local barbarians around Hanzhong, especially the Banyu barbarians in the depths of the mountains of Ba County. However, this is just an official statement, in fact, the greatest credit should be people's harmony.

At the beginning, Zhang Lu and Zhang Xuan played the Five Bucket Rice Sect and ran over to attack Hanzhong, and there were many barbarians among them, because they pretended to be gods and ghosts to fool those people. But then Zhang Xuan was played "soaring", Zhang Lu transformed, and became the Taoist master of Harmony Dao, the important thing is that the "supernatural power" of Harmony Dao is definitely not comparable to the Five Dou Mi Sect, and the ability to flicker in the "Harmony Treasure Book" is more first-class in the world, so the Harmony Dao not only inherited the original "disciple foundation" of the Five Dou Mi Sect in this area, but also developed in full swing!

Moreover, Ban Yuman was actually an honest and poor mountain man in Daba Mountain, and if he hadn't been forced to do anything, he really didn't want to and didn't dare to rebel.

What can they be forced to?

You can marry your wife to someone else because you can't pay taxes, and sell your sons and daughters, so if you can't do it, you can only "give up treatment and sacrifice yourself". Moreover, the original officials, especially the small officials in the village pavilion, did not treat them as untreatable, and even treated servants and captives as poorly, enslaved and whipped, like livestock.

If this does not allow the family to rebel, can we only collectively give up treatment and sacrifice ourselves?

After Sima Lang arrived in Hanzhong, because the imperial court promulgated the five-order tax law, the poll tax was first exempted, and secondly, there was no land in the mountains, right?

I don't want the field tax either!

If you don't have land, you can go out of the mountains and come to Hanzhong to farm, but to cultivate the country's land, you have to pay rent and tax, not much, just a little. If you don't know how to farm, you can also come to Hanzhong to work, but if you make a fortune by working and exceed the tax payment line, you can remember to pay income tax.

However, this set of policies could not be implemented at all in the mountains of Ba County, because people did not believe what you said. Therefore, the Harmony Dao established a Wanyuan Temple in the mountains between Hanzhong and Ba County, taking the meaning of "the source of ten thousand laws", and then while preaching the Dao Law, he told those barbarian Yi people that they could go to Hanzhong to cultivate the fields and work.

Yiren said: "The Han people are all bad guys, and they always love to bully us. ”

The preachers of the Harmony Word said, "It's all right, that was before." Now that the Son of Heaven has come to the world to save all the people, we are all disciples of the Son of Heaven, whoever dares to bully us, the Son of Heaven will not be reconciled with him! ”

Under the tireless deception and leadership of the Harmony Tao preachers, groups of barbarian Yi people dared to walk out of the mountains and enter Hanzhong, trying to start a new life.

Sima Lang looked at this posture and said that Wanyuanguan is a good place, let's set up a small city here, so that the Harmony Dao can be based on this, and at the same time preach to the depths of the mountains, publicize the policies of the Han Dynasty and encourage the mountain people

We live in the mountains. Gradually, the population of Hanzhong has also increased substantially.

However, it is not enough to give favors alone, after all, some mountain people choose to commit suicide in the face of oppression, while others choose to rebel. Among them, there may be some people who are used to eating human flesh and feel that eating other meat is not fragrant.

What to do?

Chen Ran's subordinates have mountain groups with "dog legs"!

Don't look at those barbarians who were born in the mountains, grew up in the mountains, and met "dog legs", professional soldiers who were specially trained to fight and hunt in the mountains and forests, and they were still beaten crying dad and calling mom.

That's it, under the unremitting efforts of Sima Lang, Chen Ran and others, Daba Mountain is almost half empty. First of all, Zhang Hu took 500 mountain people out of the mountains and came to Hanzhong to settle down, and then Puhu and Du Hao, the two kings of Yi, also surrendered to Hanzhong successively. Of course, Pu Hu and these people are no longer Yi kings now, some are soldiers of the Seventh Army, some are officials of Hanzhong County, and the little babies in the family have also been sent to school and began to learn "touch, a, aunt, of, and wave".

…………

South of Yangping Pass, less than 200 miles away is Baishui Pass, turn southeast from Baishui Pass, less than 100 miles away there is Jiameng Pass, and then there is Sword Pavilion, and then go more than 200 miles to Fu County, during which many cliffs stand in absolute place, can only erect plank road on the cliff, but this is the main road of Hanzhong into Shu, that is, the so-called "Golden Bull Road".

Chen Ran's subordinates only had Wei Yi's mountain regiment before, but later recruited a lot of mountain people. These mountain people are born to be good seedlings of mountain soldiers, over the mountains and mountains, such as walking on the ground, climbing cliffs and climbing walls are not a problem, after training, and then with sophisticated weapons and equipment, it can be said that a fierce horse. Since then, Luoyang has directly sent two more mountain brigades, so the current Seventh Army, in fact, the mountain troops have become the main force, and the original mountain regiment commander Wei Yi has now become the commander of the first division.

The road to Shu is difficult, it is difficult to resist the mountain soldiers, and suddenly it seems that all the "big roads" lead to Chengdu.

…………

In May of the fourth year of Guangxi, Pu Hu led two regiments and 3,000 men and horses to the south along Wanyuan City, crossed Bashan, Kexuanhan, and attacked the ditch, calling on all Bajunyi people to unite and resist Liu Yan's brutal rule in Yizhou. At the same time, Yuan Yue and Lang Zhongcheng Ji rose one after another, either down the river or upstream, and the goals were directed to the county of Ba County to govern Jiangzhou.

Ba County fell into turmoil, but Liu Yan did not panic, after all, Yizhou is the richest, and the most important ones are only Shu County and Guanghan, that is, the Chengdu Plain. That is to say, even if all roads really lead to Chengdu, even if Bajun is in chaos, or even lost entirely, as long as the Chengdu Plain is not lost, it can still rely on the strong manpower, material resources and geographical advantages here to carry out an effective counterattack, and it is very likely that the enemy will be dragged down in the east of Yizhou.

After all, no matter how good the soldiers are at climbing mountains and mountains, what about the food and grass supplies needed to support the army? What about the large weapons and equipment used in the siege? Without a strong back-up base as a guarantee, the soldiers will only be tired and weak, and it will be difficult to make a difference.

What's more, the so-called big road in Yizhou, people have to work hard to walk more, and they are delusional about others?

This is also an important part of Chengdu to Yizhou, don't look at the Chengdu Plain is only relative to the whole Yizhou, it is not too big, but it has a developed water system and rich products, which is enough

It is necessary to store and support the army, and the mountains and rivers in the eastern part of Yizhou and the Ba County area are excellent natural barriers, and the so-called easy to defend and difficult to attack is not a casual talk.

After Liu Yan arrived in Yizhou, in order to strengthen his rule, he found a place to die, and Yan Yan was appointed as the Taishou of Ba County. Originally, Yan Yan was in Ba County, and he always wanted to find an opportunity to take advantage of Jingzhou, like a cat squatting on a high place, scratching his paws at the stupid dog below from time to time, but now, it seems that a group of rats suddenly popped up around him, and they all shouted "Mice are afraid of cats, that's a rumor", which really made Yan Yan a little self-conscious.

At this time, Liu Yan's confidant, who resigned from the post of Taicang Commander in the past year, followed Liu Yan into Yizhou The Brazilian Zhao Wei is leading the army to quell the rebellion in the south of Yizhou, and the general Zhang Ren is still in Mianzhu, and the defense of Hanzhong cannot be ignored, so Liu Yan sent Deng Xian to lead the troops and horses to Ba County to reinforce Yan Yan.

However, just a few days after Deng Xian sent his troops, that is, in late May, Chen Ran, the commander of the Seventh Army of the Han Zheng Army, personally led the army out of Yangping Pass, and went straight to Baishui Pass in the name of escorting the angels of the edict. Gao Pei, the general of the Baishui Pass, claimed that the angels were allowed to enter Shu through this, but the Seventh Army was not allowed to pass.

If the two sides don't agree on a word, what else is there to say?

So the Seventh Army launched a fierce attack on Baishui Pass, and Gao Pei naturally ordered his troops to fight back, and the two sides "fought a big battle" for three days, without a victory.

Oh mom, it's really a bump to say "big war"!

Because Chen Ran and they came all the way along the mountain road from the north, and Baishui was closed here, and there was the inflow of Qingchuan water, which made the river suddenly widen more than a mile. The east bank of Qingchuan Water is a cliff, and Chen Ran and they can't have a boat, so if they want to pass from here, they can only follow the west bank and break through Baishui Pass.

But this West Bank, don't mention it......

Of course, Chen Ran couldn't order the soldiers to rush forward and die in vain, so the so-called big battle was just a few arrows fired by the two sides. Three days later, when the attack was fruitless, Chen Ran began to order his soldiers to go up the mountain to cut wood and erect pontoon bridges, intending to attack Baishui Pass. Seeing this, Gao Pei ordered the soldiers to go out of the customs in small boats, intending to destroy the pontoon bridge of the Seventh Army. As a result, the crossbows of the Seventh Army could not be lined up in front of Baishui Pass, but they were able to line up on the west bank of Qingchuan Water and hit the small boats that came to cause sabotage.

Foul words, I didn't take advantage of the cheap, and I got into several boats!

Gao Pei couldn't bear it, and angrily sent a plea for help to Baishui County and Jia Mengguan behind him.

In fact, the so-called Ban Yu is really a lot of famous ministers and talents. Don't talk about it, let's just say that Pinghou Feng Huan, once followed the Central Protector Army Bangu Northern Expedition to the Northern Xiongnu, made suggestions, and made many meritorious contributions, and later led the army to conquer Goguryeo, and won a complete victory!

Unfortunately, because of jealousy, he was wrongfully imprisoned, and then died of illness in prison.

Later, Feng Huan's son Feng Qi participated in and quelled the rebellion many times, guarded the border, and was known as a mighty general. Because of the benefit of the township and the repair of the ditch city, the ditch city is also called the "car riding city".

And now, one of the training instructors of the Seventh Army's "dog legs" is Feng Qi's grandson, Feng Yi. After receiving a letter of help from Baishui Pass, Liu Bi, the guard general of Jiameng Pass, sent his deputy general Ma Han to lead the army to reinforce him. One night, Feng Ye quietly climbed to Jiameng Pass with a group of dogs who even had river mud smeared on their faces and weapons......
