Chapter 1168 Sweeping Yizhou
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Cen Peng led his troops to capture Huangshi, which swept away the worries of the Han army, and the Han army only sat down in Huangshi to rest for a while, and was taken back to Jiangzhou by Cen Peng.
When he arrived in Jiangzhou, Cen Peng led the Han army on foot, totaling 50,000 people, gave up taking the waterway, ran thousands of miles, and went straight to Wuyang.
Wuyang is the county seat of Qianwei County, located in the west of Qianwei County, while Jiangzhou is the county seat of Ba County. Wu Han led his troops from Jiangzhou and rushed to attack Wuyang, which was already across the entire Qianwei County.
Cen Peng dared to lead 50,000 Han troops, go deep alone, and sneak attack Wuyang, of course, there is a reason.
Gongsun Hui summoned all the soldiers and horses from all counties of Qianwei County to Zizhong, and wanted to resist the Han army with all his strength in Zizhong, but now Qianwei County and counties are empty, and they are unable to stop the 50,000 Han army led by Cen Peng.
You must know that Wuyang is two hundred miles away from Chengdu, which can be said to be close at hand, if Wuyang is really defeated by Cen Peng, then Chengdu, the capital of Gongsun Shu, will be directly threatened by the Han army.
Let's say that Cen Peng, who led the Han army, bypassed Jiangzhou, marched all the way west, and advanced to Qianwei County. Gongsun Hui also thought that Cen Peng was here to fight his own capital, and he was so frightened that he was recruiting soldiers and horses, and requisitioning grain and grass, and he also asked Chengdu for help.
But even if Chengdu sent him reinforcements, it was too late.
Because the speed of Cen Peng's army was too fast, after the soldiers entered Qianwei County, they traveled day and night, and every day they traveled more than 60 miles, and wherever they passed, there was no resistance, whether it was a city or a village or town, all surrendered. Gongsun Shu has been working in Shu for so long, no one thinks that Gongsun Shu's position in the hearts of the people of Shu has long been deep-rooted, and even Cen Peng did not expect that as Qianwei County in the hinterland of Yizhou, all cities and villages and towns will arrive in their own army
After that, he didn't even make any resistance.
The reason why this is the case is that Gongsun Shu has long lost the support of the people in Shu.
In order to fight against the Luoyang court, Gongsun Shu levied heavy taxes, and the life of the people in Shu became more and more difficult and difficult, while in comparison, the people under the rule of the Luoyang court lived more and more prosperous.
Yizhou, the land of Bashu, is rich in resources and fertile land, and it is one of the richest state capitals in the country.
And over the years, Shu has not suffered much from war, Gongsun Shu has long been the king and hegemon in Yizhou, the situation in the land of Bashu is very stable, and there has never been a large-scale war.
In comparison, what the hell has the Central Plains been like over the years? Ten rooms and nine empty, the people are displaced, the number of people is only 20% of the Western Han Dynasty, the corpses are everywhere, and all industries are in ruins.
Yizhou has been watching from the wall, sitting on the side and watching the excitement.
But now, the life of the people of Shu is not as good as that of the people of the Central Plains, and the Han court implements thirty taxes and one tax, which is simply something that the people of Shu dare not even think of.
Not to mention thirty taxes and one, even if ten taxes and one or ten taxes are imposed on them, they can wake up with a smile in their dreams.
All kinds of taxes have overwhelmed the people of Shudi, and in recent years, the war between Gongsun Shu and Liu Xiu has intensified, and soldiers and horses have been constantly recruited, or sent to Longdi to support Kui Huan, or sent to Nanjun to fight against Cen Peng.
The casualties of the officers and soldiers of the Shu army are not a few every year. In the families of many people in Xishu, there are people who have died or become disabled because of joining the army, which is another major factor that the people of Xishu are dissatisfied with Gongsun Shu.
Now that the Han army is attacking, the people of Shu not only did not resist, but welcomed them, and even the local officials and patriarchs took the lead in sending wine, meat, and food to the Han army.
Cen Peng had already given an order, but all gifts from the people were not allowed to be accepted by the officers and men in the army.
After going deep into Shudi, Cen Peng could also see that the life of the people in Shu was not good, and compared with the people of Nanjun who had been fighting for many years, the conditions were much worse.
The people's lives are already so miserable that if their own soldiers go to accept the food sent by the people, it is simply the work of robbers.
Cen Peng's character, that is absolutely nothing to say, not only understanding the officers and soldiers in the army, but also understanding the people of the world, even if these are the enemy's people, but in Cen Peng's mind, they are all Han people, they are the people of the Han Dynasty, and they must be treated equally.
The Han army was strictly disciplined, and Cen Peng gave an order, and there was really no soldier in the Han army who dared to accept gifts from the people privately.
The actions of the Han army have greatly won the hearts of the people of Shu. People are full of praise and admiration for Cen Peng, the chief general of the Han army.
In this way, the Han army marched all the way west, welcomed by the people all the way, and did not attack Zizhong, but bypassed Zizhong and went straight to Wuyang.
Among the troops, Gongsun Hui and Wang Yuan were stationed, and the soldiers and horses under the command of the two had 50,000 troops from the Beijing Division and more than 30,000 people from the local army.
And Cen Peng only had 50,000 soldiers and horses, but Gongsun Hui and Wang Yuan, who had an army of 100,000, watched the Han army bypass from the capital, and the 100,000 army did not even dare to go out of the city.
This situation is simply incredible, and it is not difficult to see that Cen Peng has beaten the Shu army into what virtue, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as frightening.
Gongsun Hui and Wang Yuan's stationed Zizhong was closed to the passing Han army, and Wuyang, the county town of Qianwei County, wanted to resist the attack of the Han army, which was a joke.
Qianwei County Taishou also based on the 2,000 county army, temporarily recruited thousands of strong men to participate in the defense of the city, and wanted to resist the Han army outside the city, but such a group of improvised patchwork troops, how could they resist the Han army of Cen Peng's personal commander.
The Han army attacked the city in the morning and fully captured Wuyang at noon. The soldiers and horses led by Qianwei County Taishou failed to stop even a round of offensive by the Han army, and the city defense was torn apart.
Such a rapid speed, such a ferocious attack power, it is terrifying. When the news of the Han army's capture of Wuyang reached Chengdu, the government and the opposition were shocked, looking at Cen Peng's posture, he was going to sweep Yizhou!
Chengdu, Imperial Palace, Imperial Hall.
Gongsun Shu looked around at the Manchu Dynasty and asked, "Who can break Cen Peng?" Who can break Cen Peng? Who else can break Cen Peng? ”
He asked three times in a row, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty looked at each other, and no one squeaked. Even the two generals Xie Feng and Yuan Ji, who had taken the initiative to invite Ying to fight before, were dumbfounded at this time, glanced at each other, and did not speak.
Cen Peng's army's offensive was too ferocious, it was already so fierce that the lone army went deep into Yizhou, but it was like entering a no-man's land, and now at this time, in terms of the morale of Cen Peng's army, no matter who went up, it was useless, it was to send him to death.
Gongsun Guang looked left and right, stepped out of the ranks, and said to Gongsun Shu: "Your Majesty, Cen Peng is menacing and unstoppable, and now he is against the enemy, it is really a good strategy!" ”
If someone else said this, Gongsun Shu would have been furious, and Gongsun Guang was his own brother, Gongsun Shu suppressed his anger and asked, "Is it just waiting for Cen Peng to attack Chengdu?" ”
Gongsun Guang rolled his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, Wu Han is still staying in Yiling!" ”
Gongsun Shu didn't understand the meaning of his brother's words, what does Wu Han, who stayed in Yiling, have to do with Cen Peng? Cen Peng has hit Wuyang, and if he fights further, he will hit Chengdu!
Gongsun Guang said meaningfully: "Your Majesty, Wu Han was supposed to be the chief general of the Han army, but now the chief general of the Han army is Cen Peng, and Wu Han is standing still in Yiling, only repairing ships, what does he mean by this?" ”
Gongsun Shu subconsciously asked, "What does he mean?" ”
Gongsun Guang said categorically: "Wu Han refused to lead the army westward, but stayed in Yiling, he had only one purpose, while Cen Peng was not there, he wanted to occupy Nanjun, be the king in Nanjun, and be the emperor in Jingzhou!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned. What does Gongsun Guang mean by this? Is it said that Wu Han was going to rebel in Yiling? Is Wu Han going to betray Liu Xiu? To occupy land in Nanjun and even Jingzhou, occupy the king?
It's a ridiculous thing. Will Wu Han rebel? Joke!
Gongsun Shu was also angry, shook his head again and again, and said, "No! Wu Han was loyal to Liu Xiu, how could he rebel? Gongsun Guang Zhengse said: "Wu Han stayed in Yiling, that is, to rebel, at least, we must let Luoyang believe that Wu Han has the heart of rebellion!" Now, Nanjun is empty, Wu Han wants to rebel, and the whole county and even the entire Jingzhou have no power to fight back, Luoyang will be
How to deal with it? ”
Xie Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately answered: "If Wu Han really wants to rebel, Luoyang will definitely order Cen Peng to lead his troops back to Nanjun!" ”
Gongsun Guang nodded, spread his hands again, and said, "In this way, won't the danger of my Yizhou be solved?" ”
I see! Gongsun Shu suddenly realized, nodded at Gongsun Guang again and again, and praised with a smile: "Ah Guang is a good plan!" It's up to you! ”
Gongsun Shu sent a message to the secret agents hiding in Luoyang, asking them to spread rumors in Luoyang that Wu Han was going to rebel in Nanjun.
At the time of life and death, Gongsun Shu did not have any reservations, and used all the spies he planted in Luoyang.
Soon, under the rumors and encouragement of Gongsun Shu's secret agents, the news that Wu Han was going to rebel in Nanjun spread and intensified, and even spread to the point that Wu Han wanted to claim the title of emperor in Jingzhou.
These rumors naturally also spread into the Great Sima Mansion, and when Wu Han's wife Qin Ziwen heard these rumors, her heart tightened.
If Your Majesty doesn't believe these rumors, then it's naturally fine, but what if Your Majesty believes these rumors, there are some things that don't need evidence, and it's enough to make people speechless.
In response to these rumors that were unfavorable to Wu Han, Qin Ziwen's response was to buy land.
Qin Ziwen took out almost all the money of the Great Sima Mansion, bought houses and shops in the city, and bought fields and Zhuangzi outside the city. In short, it is to buy real estate everywhere. If Wu Han really wanted to rebel in Nanjun, it would be impossible for Da Sima Mansion to dispose of the land in Luoyang, because this was a waste of money, and what Da Sima Fu was most likely to do was to secretly transport the money to Nanjun and hand it over to Wu Han to help him recruit
Soldiers.
Qin Ziwen's approach is to let the rumors be self-defeating.
I have to say that Qin Ziwen is a woman who really has brains. She also just confirmed the sentence, behind a successful man, there is always a great and unknown woman.
The Great Sima Mansion was in various places in Luoyang, and the news soon spread to the palace, Liu Xiu listened to it, looked up and smiled, and praised: "Qin Ziwen, this woman, is a little interesting!" ”
Liu Xiu had already heard about the rumors that Wu Han was going to rebel, and even there were ministers in the DPRK and China who impeached Wu Han, but Liu Xiu didn't take it to heart at all.
Liu Xiu's heart was like a mirror, this was obviously a plan used by Gongsun Shu, the purpose was to lure Cen Peng back to Nanjun from Shu. How could he be fooled by this kind of conspiracy that cannot be put on the table?
He asked Hua Feiyan on the side with a smile, and said, "Feiyan, how much money is left in Qin Ziwen's hand now?" ”
Hua Feiyan was stunned, thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, the money of the Great Sima Mansion should have been almost spent. ”
This ruined woman! Ziyan was diligent and thrifty all his life, but once he set out on the expedition, his belongings were defeated by Qin Ziwen.
Liu Xiu pondered for a while, and said to Hua Feiyan: "Feiyan, you send someone to inform Qin Ziwen, and say that I want to see her." ”
It is not unheard of for the Son of Heaven to summon the minister's wife, but under normal circumstances, the Son of Heaven will borrow the mouth of the harem concubine.
For example, Liu Xiu once summoned Feng Yi's wife, and borrowed Yin Lihua, who summoned Feng Yi's wife into the palace in the name of Yin Lihua.
Now, Liu Xiu didn't use the name of borrowing the harem concubine, but he directly summoned Qin Ziwen, which had never happened before. After Hua Feiyan heard this, she was also shocked, and looked at Liu Xiu with a surprised face. Liu Xiu smiled indifferently and said: "This lady of Ziyan is both smart and thoughtful, if I don't give her a reassuring pill, maybe one day, the Great Sima Mansion will be sold by her!" ”
