When cleaning up the harem of Emperor Shu Han, Emperor Zhao Ce of the Great Liang really realized how shabby he was, although everyone said that Shu was the country of abundance, but Zhao Ce didn't really think it was very good here, and even secretly thought, Liu Xun is just a corner of peace, no matter how good it is, it can't be compared with my big Luoyang.

But now he felt that he was wrong, that he was so wrong.

The people here are abundant, the treasury granary is enough to eat for three years, the population is close to 10 million, and the annual tax is almost the same as that of the Liang Dynasty.

It's a pity that now Liu Xun is lying on the ground, and I, Zhao Ce, are standing in your house.

"Tell the soldiers, good students treat the Han clan relatives, as well as these concubines and maidservants, I think they understand etiquette and are educated, and they should not be treated rudely. Otherwise, it's too cruel. ”

The name of benevolence and righteousness of Emperor Zhide is known throughout the country, and even the people of Shu and Han have heard that it is not very unexpected that the emperor of the Liang Dynasty can treat the relatives of the Han family and Liu Xun's concubines like this. In order to show their submission to His Majesty the Emperor, the Liu clan took out a huge amount of money to fund the Liang Dynasty army, and Zhao Ce was overjoyed, knighted the Liu clan, and began to release the women in the palace.

Zhao Ce said, if you have a home, go home by yourself; The homeless, or those who have traveled too far, can stay and wait for the emperor to assign them. There are many unmarried people among the generals in Sichuan, let them choose, if they like it, they will accept it. But the emperor ordered that the process should not be rude. Speak of etiquette.

Soon after, Chengdu became stable, and it was rumored in the streets and alleys that Emperor Zhide was a benevolent gentleman, a virtuous and virtuous sage, and the economy of Sichuan and Shu was quickly restored after the war.

At this time, Emperor Zhao Ce received a battle report, which said that the Tiger Ben army retreated for 2,000 miles, lost Huainan, and Cao Shuai was seriously injured; Tang Yuan, the general of the Flying Tigers, gave up Jingzhou, fought fiercely at Dagu Pass, and was seriously injured, and the Flying Tiger Army now has less than 30,000 people left, and Luoyang is in danger. Zhao Ce discussed with Tang Su, and in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he did not tell the generals these inside stories. It's just that the million-strong army of the Southern Jin Dynasty has approached Luoyang.

Zhao Ce immediately convened the generals to discuss countermeasures, and the generals had different opinions. But on the whole, everyone is still a little anxious, because everyone's family members are in Luoyang, and once Luoyang falls, the enemy army will not be as merciful as Zhao Ce.

Now there are two main arguments, the first batch of people believe that the queen can withstand the impact of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and we will go back now, through Jingzhou, directly into the hinterland of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and eliminate the Southern Jin Dynasty in one go, basically laying the situation of the unification of Shenzhou.

Another group of people said that the enemy army was overwhelming, and the queen only had 100,000 Flying Tiger Army, 110,000 Tiger Ben Army, and the rest were all new soldiers, how could they resist the 1.1 million army of the Southern Jin Dynasty? It was too late for us to go back, so we hurriedly issued an edict to let the queen lead the ministers and officials and the families of the generals to leave Luoyang, go west to Chang'an for temporary refuge, and ordered Tang Yuan and others to guard Tongguan and wait for our rescue.

As soon as this argument was put forward, it was quickly recognized by everyone. The picture is broadcast all over the world

But at this time, Bai Chongguang, the king of Sanchuan, raised a different opinion, he said: "Let's go back now, it is definitely not the best choice." Regardless of whether the queen can keep Luoyang or not, we should not rush back. Your Majesty does not want to listen to the words of the generals, please listen to the ministers to analyze for you. The queen was born as a war general, and it was impossible not to know how to escape after defeat. Once defeated, she will naturally take the initiative to retreat to Chang'an and defend Tongguan to the death, rather than sitting still in Luoyang City. If the queen wins, she must also win narrowly, and she is unable to counterattack the Southern Jin Dynasty, so there is no need for us to rush back to help her. We should consider the issue of Sanchuan more, although the emperor's benevolence was quickly recognized by the people, but the southern Dali State was ready to move, if you leave Sanchuan at this time and wave your troops to Luoyang, then who will guard Sanchuan? How many people are left behind? If there are fewer people, 350,000 will not work at all, and if there are too many people, 200,000 troops will be stationed, and the consumption will be huge, so isn't it a waste of manpower and material resources? And isn't His Majesty the Emperor worried about the rebellion of the generals stationed here? ”

Zhao Ce felt that Bai Chongguang was reasonable, and asked, "Then what do you think?" ”

Bai Chongguang said: "Don't go back to Luoyang, but take Dali in one go." In the past, Dali and Shu Han Liu intermarried for several generations, and there was nothing to do, but now that Shu Han is dead, Dali must be uneasy. At this time, if His Majesty the Emperor leaves, it is very likely that the 150,000 people under the Duan clan will attack Chengdu Mansion, and at that time, His Majesty the Emperor's land of Tianfu will be lost again, and it will be too difficult to get it back in the future. On the contrary, if Dali is taken and the troubles are completely eliminated, as long as 350,000 troops are stationed in Chengdu Mansion to maintain law and order, His Majesty the Emperor will return to Luoyang, and there is no need to worry about the excessive authority of the border generals and rebellion. At that time, when he was willing to fight the Southern Jin Dynasty was completely up to His Majesty the Emperor. ”

Zhao Ce was silent.

This time he entered Sichuan, bringing 500,000 soldiers and horses, although there were many victories and losses along the way, but there was also a lot of personnel consumption, and now he has less than 400,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.

If he took these 400,000 people directly to fight the Southern Jin Dynasty, whether he could win a battle or not, he had no confidence in his heart, on the contrary, he was nine points sure that he would fight Dali with 150,000 troops.

This time, Zhao Ce did not consult with the generals, but only discussed the matter with Tang Su, who thought twice and agreed with the emperor's idea. Then Lin Chongyang and Dian Xing were sent to lead 100,000 horses to the east and west, and Lin Chongyang of the West Route Army attacked Huichuan, and the East Route Army attacked Tuodong.

Lin Chongyang sent troops first, took Qingxi Pass in only one day, and drove straight in, thinking that he would be like a bamboo all the way, but he never thought that he would be ambushed in the southwest city and lose two divisions in the first battle. Zhang Pan was seriously wounded, Li Liang was killed in battle, and the whole army was seriously frustrated, and the whole army stopped.

The East Route Army was blocked in Shimen Town, and the artillery fire was unsuccessful for three days, and the losses were not under Lin Chongyang.

Dali Duan's family was originally just the king, but after Liu Xun's death, he immediately proclaimed himself emperor, recruited troops, garrisoned Huichuan and Tuodong, and was waiting for Zhao Ce to attack, but as a result, Lin Chongyang and the two generals were caught off guard.

The war lasted for ten days, the punishment first changed the strategy, mobilized Bai Ke's support, made a detour to attack the Mangbu Department, crossed the mountains and rivers, and attacked the rear of Shimen Town.

Break through the defense line of Shimen Town, the chief of the pawn drove straight in, one day to conquer the three cities, directly to Dongchuan County, the prince of Dali Duan Zheng fled in fear of battle, and the general soldiers were stationed in Dongchuan without blood. The envoy of Tuodong Jiedu led a thousand men and horses to surrender to the execution. So the punishment continued to go south, and three days later, he was stationed in Shanxian Mansion and approached Tonghai.

At this time, the eight-thousand-year-old Tang Su was very dissatisfied with Lin Chongyang, so that Xiao Han took over the command of Lin Chongyang and continued to go south, only on the 15th, Xiao Han captured three states in a row, took Huichuan, Xia Langdong, and encircled Yang Tho, Emperor Dali saw that the situation was not good, led the remnants of the army to retreat, and planned to take refuge in the country of Pi, but he never wanted to be intercepted by the Yongchang Jiedu envoy halfway, killed the Duan clan, and dedicated it to the pioneer general Xiao Han.
