Chapter 32: Into Shu (1)

Just when Guo Rong, Zhao Kuangyin and others were busy training in Tuntian in Guanzhong, the Chu State in the south once again sent his Honglu Temple Qing Xiao Yi to Shu as a return visit to Shu to send an envoy to congratulate Ma Yun on his proclamation as emperor. As a high-ranking official of the Sixth Ministry and Jiuqing, it was the first time for such a high-level official to appear in the diplomatic field of Chu Shu.

As an outstanding literary scholar, Meng Chang's comprehensive performance in politics is obviously not up to par. However, when the state of Chu was bright and bright and the northern power Great Zhou sang the opposite tune, mourned for Han Huaizong (later Zhou was called Emperor Han Yin), and called on the world to fight against the traitor Guo Wei, Meng Chang, who failed, still felt that this was a good opportunity, Great Chu and Great Zhou were against each other, and the strength of the two countries was equal, so no one stared at his own three-acre of land in Shuzhong.

From the point of view of orthodoxy, Ma Yun, as a Han minister, after the court was usurped by Guo Wei of the Later Zhou Dynasty, he couldn't wait to ascend the throne as the emperor at the first time, this approach is obviously a bit of schadenfreude and blessing in disguise, but, compared with Guo Wei, who indirectly killed Emperor Yin of the Han Dynasty and became the "Liu Jinu" of the Later Han Dynasty, Ma Yun's ideological consciousness is not bad, at least, Ma Yun still played the political slogan of the Han Dynasty and the Zhou.

In line with the principle of picking generals among the lame, Meng Chang is emotionally inclined to the Great Chu in Jiangnan. So, out of consideration for the safety of Shu, Meng Chang sent people to Jinling to congratulate Ma Yun on his ascension to the throne and proclamation. He called Ma Yun the Emperor of the East and called himself the Emperor of the West. And Ma Yun, out of geopolitical considerations, can pull the forces around him, so try to pull it as much as possible. In this way, the relationship between Chu and Shu has broken the ice, although it is not very hot, but it has entered a lot compared to before. After all, in the ninth year of Tianfu, Chu and Shu almost fought in Guizhou.

After the ice of the relationship between Chu and Shu was broken, Xun became hot, just like a young boy and girl who fell in love at first sight, and entered the period of love with an unusual degree. There were a lot of emissaries, but they were all low-level officials with little weight, and they didn't talk about any substantive issues.

Of course, this can be considered as a process in which the two countries find out each other. The more important reason is that the two countries have different judgments about the future situation. As for the State of Chu, it naturally hopes that the State of Shu can stand on its side and cooperate with itself to send troops to defeat the pseudo-Zhou, but what about the State of Shu? On the contrary, the current situation, although it can be regarded as the Three Kingdoms Standing and the various tribes fighting, but the current Three Kingdoms are completely different from the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty. In the eyes of Meng Chang and the ruling group of Shu, whether it is Zhou or Chu, neither of them has the strength to annex Dashu (too confident), not to mention that there are contradictions between Chu and Zhou, so Meng Chang's idea is to let Chu and Zhou fight and his own Dashu fishermen benefit.

Due to the different dreams of the same bed between Shu and Chu, the two countries only fell in love and did not bear fruit. Originally, Ma Yun's minimum requirement was to be friendly with Shu, lest when Chu and Zhou were at war, Shu would attack themselves on the flank, and normalize relations with Shu could be regarded as meeting the minimum requirements of Chu. Of course, Ma Yun did not give up his efforts to persuade Shu, and he still privately sent people to bribe the ministers of Shu, hoping that Shu and Chu could advance and retreat together. As for the result of heavy bribery, Ma Yun did not set a time.

After Ma Yun became the emperor, because some scholars in Li Tang were not satisfied, the state of Chu focused its attention on the interior for a short time and adopted a restrained attitude on the border of Chu and Zhou. However, the overall direction of Chu State's efforts has not changed, that is, to unify the world.

In order to avoid Chu from expanding and strengthening itself at the same time, Hou Zhou also showed himself to strengthen himself, Li Xiang wrote to Ma Yun and put forward the "Four Kingdoms Chase Deer Theory", in other words, by sending envoys to Hedong, Shu, and Khitan, to persuade them to constantly send troops to harass Hou Zhou from all directions, so that Hou Zhou was tired of coping. So what convinces them? Chasing deer is the land, and whoever fights the city will be considered his.

The envoys of Chu were warmly welcomed by Liu Chong in Taiyuan Mansion, and Liu Chong, the Shenwu Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, was very enthusiastic about Chu's "Four Kingdoms Rivalry Theory", but unfortunately, Liu Chong's army had just been defeated. In Hedong, the army's morale is chaotic, and it is difficult to say whether the country can hold it for a while, and there is no spare strength to send troops at all. No matter how enthusiastic Liu Chong is, it will not help the Chu State, but it will be like Liu Chong is praying for the Chu State to help Hedong.

And in the Khitan, just before and after Liu Chong's defeat, there was a rebellion in the Khitan country, the Khitan lord Yeluwu wanted to be killed, and Yelu Deguang's son Yelu Jing ascended the throne. This man likes to hunt and drink, and he does not care about state affairs, and he drinks freely every time, from night until dawn, and during the day he tries to sleep. Liao people often call him "Sleeping King". Since Yelujing became emperor, even the routine southward invasion of the Khitan army every winter has been canceled.

If the Khitans do not do anything, it is extremely disadvantageous for the Chu State. The envoy of the State of Chu kept lobbying Yelu Jing, but unfortunately, it had no effect. First, because the god of wine, Jereck, basically has no time to be sober; Second, seeing that Yelujing must drink, and if he drinks, he will get drunk, and before the envoy of Chu opened his mouth to say business, he was let go by Yelujing and his gang.

This situation makes Ma Yun cry and laugh, "four countries compete for deer", there are two countries that are useless, all hopes are placed on Shu, but unfortunately, Meng Chang is not a good bird. Not only did he not scatter an eagle when he saw a rabbit, but when he saw a rabbit, he did not scatter an eagle. At this time, the news of Guo Rong's presence in Guanzhong Tuntian finally reached Jinling.

Ma Yun and the Chu group behind him were completely shaken, and they couldn't let Guanzhong rejuvenate, and it became the key goal of Chu State. As a result, there was an envoy from Xiao Yi, a ministerial-level high-ranking official.

"Xiao Aiqing, it's been hard all the way. Can you see the scenery of my Shu along the way? In the Mingde Palace, Emperor Meng Chang of Dashu asked with a smile. Recently, Meng Chang was in a very happy mood, and the reason was very simple: on the issue of comparing envoys, he won the state of Chu. The state of Chu couldn't hold its breath and finally sent important ministers to Chengdu. And the purpose of the envoys of Chu, he was also very clear, it was definitely to form an alliance against Zhou.

"Chengdu's forty-mile long street is full of hibiscus, purple and red, dizzying, and it can be called Rongcheng." Xiao Yi said with a humble and arrogant manner.

Meng Chang laughed when he heard it, this was his proud work. Chengdu has a nickname called Rongcheng, and the initiator of this is Meng Chang. Meng Chang's concubine is the world's famous Mrs. Flower, and in order to please Mrs. Flower, Meng Chang ordered to plant hibiscus all over the city of Chengdu. This is why it has the title of "Rongcheng".
