Chapter 208: Into Shu

At the end of September, Qi Tianzi led the pro-army in front of the palace to enter Jianzhou.

After Wang Dayan's Shenwei army recovered the Xingyuan Mansion in Hanzhong, they went south and took the land of the Sword Pavilion in one fell swoop.

This is also because the news of King Qin's defeat has already come, and the Qin army in the Sword Pavilion has long been in chaos.

Zhao Guangyi and Liu Guangyi, who were originally besieging Chengdu, retreated to Maozhou on the bank of the Dadu River in the northwest of Chengdu.

In fact, because of the closed news, the lord of Shu had already asked to surrender, and almost opened the city gate to welcome Zhao Guangyi, the Duke of Yan, into the city, and only then came the news of the defeat of the King of Qin.

Zhao Guangyi and Liu Guangyi divided their troops, Liu Guangyi retreated to Maozhou, and Zhao Guangyi's troops fought back, but they were defeated in Jiangedi, and then fled to Maozhou.

Obviously, this is a serious disagreement between the commander and deputy commander of the Qin army of Zhengshu.

Liu Guangyi, that is, Liu Tingrang, who was later called, originally had the same name as Zhao Guangyi, but after Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne, he had to change his name to Liu Tingrang.

This Liu Guangyi is one of the ten brothers of the Yishe, and his military talents are obviously not comparable to Zhao Guangyi.

The conquest of Shu went so smoothly because of Liu Guangyi's contributions.

And the current situation, Liu Guangyi should see very clearly, if he does not lead his troops to surrender, then the only way out is to cross the Dadu River, enter the Tibetan land, and go to Qingtang City.

Although the road is difficult, even if you can reach Qingtang City, I am afraid that there will be no more soldiers left, but it is the only chance to escape.

Otherwise, they can only lead their troops to surrender.

Zhao Guangyi wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Qi army had not yet gained a firm foothold in Shu and the elite of the Qi lord had not yet arrived, so as to open up the route of the western escape, which resulted in a great defeat.

Because the opponent he is facing is not only Wang Dayan's 5,000 Shenwei army, but the people of Shu have long hated them, and the group training organized by the squire has already used the Qin army as a thief defense, but there is no backbone.

After Qi Tianzi led the Qin army into Jianzhou, the northern state capitals that originally lowered the Qin army changed their flags one after another.

The Shenwei army was stationed in Yizhou, on the shore of the Dadu River, apparently preparing to intercept the Qin army fleeing north from Maozhou.

Having lost the best opportunity to forcibly cross the Dadu River, Zhao Guangyi and Liu Guangyi fell into a dilemma for a while.

In October, Murong Yanzhao's troops and Chaohu sailors, who set out from Jiangling Mansion, took advantage of the slow water to go westward to "beg thieves to help Shu." ”

The state capitals along the coast have raised their flags.

The news that the lord of Shu has been on the table to surrender to the Qin army has long been spread to the four state capitals by people with good intentions, which has made the soldiers and civilians of Shu have already thought about changes under the panic of the people.

In November, Qi Tianzi arrived in Pengzhou, dozens of miles north of Chengdu, Chengdu was shaken, and the surrounding cities and governments asked for surrender.

The lord of Shu sent an envoy, but he did not see Qi Tianzi, and heard that Qi Tianzi saw that the thief in Shu had been decided, and drove back to Xijing.

The matter of "helping Shu to fight thieves" was handed over to Wen Longtu, who served the Holy Son of Heaven and had just been promoted to a direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, and "cooperated with various ministries to handle it".

In the temples of Shu Kingdom, where there are no people of insight, the Qi army trapped the thieves in Maozhou but did not attack, and the intentions were clearly revealed.

Now it is natural to force the lord of Shu to surrender, but if Qi Tianzi comes forward in person, it seems a little unkind, so he left Shu and the generals under his command came forward to sing white faces.

But on the contrary, the lord of Shu was already ready to surrender the city to the thieves, which made him a loyal and upright minister of Shu, and he was really embarrassed to write articles and scold Qi Tianzi.

The lord of Shu soon sent an envoy to Pengcheng to see Wen Longtu, and proposed to cut the emperor's name, and from then on only called the lord of Shu, and called the minister Nagong to the son of Qi, and asked Wen Longtu to convey the heart of the minister Meng Chang to the holy son of heaven on his behalf.

Wen Longtu was noncommittal, and returned to the inner house, and next, the staff sent the Shu envoy, saying that Wen Longtu had been sick recently, and he didn't have much strength to write a note to the Holy Son of Heaven.

The Shu envoy said that he was going to Xi'an to meet the Son of Heaven, and the staff said that now that the thieves and soldiers in Shu are raging, you can naturally go, but if something goes wrong, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate.

Isn't that a joke? If it weren't for this Wenlong Tu figuring out the upper intention, dare to be so big? If you hadn't died of illness, you would have to write about it, wouldn't you? Not to mention the words that threatened the envoy of Shu, I am afraid that the envoy of Shu will start from here, and he will disappear if he can't reach Qidi Xijing at all.

However, this Wenlongtu, although the official position is not very big, has just been promoted to Longtu Pavilion straight bachelor, from the third-grade officials, among the officials and generals of the Qi State in Shu, it is not the most top-notch, such as the front army of the Qi Tianzi Palace is still in Shu, and its commander is from the second-grade military attaché.

The Chaohu sailor who came to the west recruited Lu Jiang, who was also a high-ranking official from the second rank.

Therefore, Wenlongtu is just "cooperating with various ministries on matters", that is, coordinating the relationship between the Qi armies from all walks of life in Shu.

But obviously, Wen Longtu is singing with a white face, or even, Wen Longtu can't be seen by the envoys of Shu now, because Wen Longtu is "sick" and is not a guest. Wen Longtu's staff, who came forward to send the envoy of Shu State, became the biggest white face.

In early December, a soldier of Murong Yanzhao's army was killed, and the murderer was said to be a group of Shu soldiers who fled into Chengdu Prefecture.

Murong Yanzhao then led his troops to besiege the city.

The lord of Shu listened to Wang Zhaoyuan's idea, and actually killed some soldiers who went out of the city to Hanzhou to transport back grain in the past few days, causing the soldiers to mutiny, and there was chaos in the middle of the city, and there were even murderers who came out of nowhere to attack the palace and rob.

Zuo Xiangyi tried the conquest, and then opened the city to welcome the Qi army into the city to quell the rebellion.

The next day, the lord of Shu surrendered.

……

The yamen of Chengdu Prefecture has now become the temporary administration of Lu Ning, assisting in the surrender of various states.

But at this time, looking at the express newspaper in his hand, Lu Ning frowned.

It was a member of the party of the Dingyan Army, who took advantage of the chaos in Qin to capture Lingzhou.

Lingzhou, is now Qidi, and it is also the northwestern state capital of the original Zhoudi, and there are many party members, and after the party department of the difficult army captures Lingzhou, it will also open up with the party tribe territory in the west.

However, the express newspaper said that the party members had already sacrificed Lingzhou.

Along with the express report, it was the envoy of the Dingyan Army, Li Yiyin, the king of Xia, who said that the Son of Heaven ordered me to help the Emperor of Heaven to help defeat Qin, and it was only to help the Son of Heaven take Lingzhou Yunyun.

Li Yiyin finally said that he was willing to sacrifice 300 good horses to help the Holy Son of Heaven.

It was also said in the express newspaper that the party members sacrificed a good horse, and Li Yiyin's concert went to Xijing together.

However, this is a liar.

This Li Yiyin was originally deaf to the recruitment of his party department to help fight Qin, and even took advantage of the chaos to invade Lingzhou.

It's just that now that the Qi army is too strong, he changed his mind and became what kind of help the Holy Son of Heaven cut down Lingzhou.

It seems that from the end of the Tang Dynasty when the ancestor was named the Duke of Xia, to the ancestors of the later dynasties, the King of Longxi County and the King of Xiping, to the present Xia King, Tuoba Li's ambition has become bigger and bigger, and finally established himself as the Great Xia Kingdom, that is, Western Xia, where is the cold of a day?

However, now it is important for me to straighten out the affairs of Shu as soon as possible, and I don't have time to deal with him.

As soon as he put down the express report, outside the hall, a clerk came in to deliver a message of worship and said, "My lord, Meng Chang and his wife, come to visit your lordship, and the carriage and horse are outside the yamen." ”

Lu Ning took a look at the post, Meng Chang's tone was humble, and he heard that Mrs. Xu and the adults had an old relationship, so he specially brought his wife to visit Long Tugong, and the payment behind it was the words "sinner Meng Chang".

Obviously, Meng Chang is now in a panic, because he doesn't know what Qi Tianzi wants to do with him, he just wants to see this Wen Longtu, but he wants the couple to visit in person, and he doesn't dare to invite Wen Longtu to come over.

He claimed that he was a "sinner" to the Son of Heaven, even if he was a sinner, he didn't dare to call himself, and he was a "sinner" for himself.

"If you tell them to go back first, it means that I will visit the house in the evening." Lu Ning waved his hand, he really had a lot of things to do now, and he didn't have time to talk to him.

The officer bowed and left.
