Tao Kan's second son, Tao Zhan, was stationed in Xiangyang when his father-in-law Zhou visited the army, and forced Wang Xuan, the official Jingzhou assassin, to hide in Xinye.

In the first month of this year, the order of the court was issued, and Zhou visited Nanzhong Lang General and Liangzhou Assassin History, and supervised Liang Yi's military affairs, and ordered him to send troops to Hanzhong and enter; At the same time, he also ordered Wang Dun to lead the soldiers of Jiang and Hunan to go up the river and attack Yizhou, thinking that it was a response to Zhou's visit.

Zhou Wan summoned his son-in-law Tao Zhan, and his second sons Zhou Fu and Zhou Guang to come to discuss.

Zhou Fu said: "This is not the order of the imperial court, but the plan of the king!" ”

He said that Wang Dun had been plotting Jingzhou for a long time, first finding an excuse to relieve Tao Shixing of his military power and forcing him to cross the Yangtze River, and then promised to appoint his father as the assassin of Jingzhou after exterminating Du Zeng......

"Wang Chuzhong wants to chase my father and son, and Wang Shijiang (Wang Hui) will take all Jingzhou, and he has been planning for a long time. It was the case that the old man satire Daddy went to save Ningzhou, and he couldn't sell it, so he went back to the court and wanted my father and son to cut down the beams. Since ancient times, only Bashu can go down the river and threaten Jingxiang, how can there be those who can succeed against the current? This chaos is unacceptable! ”

Tao Zhan said: "Although I know that it is a chaotic life, it is not the order of the king, but the edict of the imperial court, how can I refuse?" Now when the grain and grass and weapons are slowly accumulated, I think it is perfunctory.

"The Central Plains has not been appeased, but the imperial court, as requested by Wang Chuzhong, wants to use force in Bashu, but it is the great Sima Fang in Guanzhong Yukou, lest the thieves take the opportunity to go out of Qishan and cover the back, but they want our army to be involved. I expect that the war in Guanzhong, whether won or lost, will not last long, compared to the middle of the year, there must be conviction, then there is no need to Tubashu. It can be delayed for time, and when the time comes, the court will be played, the cloud army is insufficient, the weather is unfavorable, and the thieves cannot be defeated, and then the court will be killed by the princes with generous bribes. ”

Zhou stroked his palms and exclaimed: "What Dao Zhen is planning is very safe, and Daddy can follow the plan." ”

Zhou Wan kept his head down, silent, and let his sons-in-law discuss, until this time he slowly raised his head, glanced at Tao Zhan, and said in a calm tone: "I just reported that Da Sima has broken Liu Cang in Guanzhong." ”

Tao Zhan and the others were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they were overjoyed, and Zhou Guang said: "In this way, it is just right to play the imperial court and make the discussion before the dismissal." ”

Tao Zhan said inappropriately-"The order is issued by the court, how can there be a reason to change the order every day?" It should be perfunctory for a month or two, and it is not too late to play again. ”

Zhou Wan suddenly let out a long sigh, his face showed regret, and the sons-in-law were all surprised, so they asked, "What is the reason for the sigh?" ”

Zhou Wan still looked at Tao Zhan, and said in a deep voice: "Da Sima Po Hu, Ling Zun was in Rongxing, commanding the three armies, after this battle, he was famous in the sea, and Hu Lu all heard his name and had night terrors. If his career is like this, but I am confined to the south of the Yangtze River, controlled by the Wang brothers, it is difficult to spread, isn't it a sigh?

"And Chen Daoyuan's words in the past are still in my ears, I am afraid that the days are numbered, and Lao Ji can only ...... his ears."

Chen Daoyuan's famous training is a Liyang person, astronomy, arithmetic, yin and yang, and astronomy, all of which are the crown of the moment, and it is said that he is the best at the wind angle. When Sun Wu was in his last years, there was a rumor that said: "At the age of Gengzi, Qinggai entered Luoyang." "Sun Hao is pretending to be able to go north and destroy the Jin Kingdom and determine the Central Plains. He asked Chen Xun to calculate, and Chen Xun excused himself and said: "The ministers can hope for energy, but they can't reach the opening of the lake." But he said to his friends in private: "Qinggai enters Luo, there will be a cowardly thing, which is not auspicious." ”

- You can go to Luoyang in Gengzi year, but I'm afraid you didn't go to conquer the Jin Kingdom, but became a prisoner and were escorted over......

After Wu's death, Chen Xun was demoted to the rank of counselor, and it didn't take long for him to resign and return to his hometown. Zhou was still weak at the time, Fang and Tao Kan intersected, and the two of them went to ask Chen Xun together and asked him to see his face. After Chen Xun looked at it, he made up his mind and said: "The two monarchs are both in Fang Yue, and their fame is slightly the same, but Tao has longevity, and Zhou has longevity, and the advantages and disadvantages are more determined by the year." ”

Meaning: Both of them have a bright future, but Tao Kan has a long life, and it is much worse to visit you every week, so the future career is not as good as Tao Kan after all-people live longer than you.

Zhou visited Xiao Tao Kan is one year old, and he is fifty-nine years old this year. Originally, he listened to Chen Xun's words, and thought that he would die at most fifty years - if he put this year and months aside, he can already be regarded as a middle life, not a next life, who would have thought that he would live to almost sixty in one breath. Thinking about Chen Xun's "lower life", it is compared with Tao Kan's "upper life", he will not have a short life, but ...... Will I really survive the past sixty? Can you live to be in your sixties? I'm afraid that the days are numbered......

Tao Kan is a year older than me, the real misfortune and blessing rely on, Wang Dun relieved the military power, forced to cross the Yangtze River, but was able to attach to Pei Da Sima, spread freely in the Central Plains, and made such a magnificent feat; On the other hand, he has been exterminating Caokou in the south of the Yangtze River, and then stayed in Jingzhou for several years, being held hostage by the Wang brothers, and has no chance of development.

Is this the end of my career? I don't know how long I can live the rest of my life, do nothing in Xiangyang City, and finally die of illness in bed?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh.

Tao Zhan heard the string song and knew the meaning of elegance - the old man couldn't be idle, and he wanted to go to war, did he really plan to obey the edict of the imperial court? Immediately persuaded him: "The son-in-law thinks that Liangzhou cannot be cut down for three reasons:

"First, the mountain road is dangerous and narrow, and it is difficult to march into the army, even if the grain is transported by the water, it will eventually be retrograde, and it is difficult to play the effect of a surprise attack. Second, Li Xiong is in Shu, his stepfather and uncle Yu Lie, and now Fan Changsheng is his support, with a deep foundation and difficult to pull out; Third, if our army leaves Jingxi and goes up, I am afraid that Wang Shi will take advantage of the weakness to enter, then I will retreat and have no place to rely on, and there will be no food and straw, and it will be a dead end! I hope you will think carefully. ”

Zhou Wan nodded: "Qing's words are reasonable." However, if it is for the state, then Bashu has three must-cuts: first, hearing that Li Xiong is in Shu, lightly punish the thin endowment, and simplify the punishment law, although the present time is shallow, but if it is not cut down, so that he can accumulate freely, it will be more difficult to cut down in the future; Second, Fan Changsheng used evil words to confuse the public, and Li Xiong's life was used as a photo, spreading his evil law, and he was afraid that the hearts of the people of Shu would be increasingly far away from China, and it would not be a blessing for the country; Third, Ningzhou is cramped, if you don't enter Bashu, you are afraid that Ba Yi will move south, and invade the national land. ”

After a pause, he said: "Qing Yan is unstoppable, but in fact, it is difficult to take three things, if it is easy, the court will not hope for me." Although the mountain road is dangerous, I have 800 elites, good at field battles, able to attack the base, and Liangzhou is based on Yang Hu, not Li Xiong, his strength is still weak, I can take advantage of the situation; Li Xiong is in Shu, although the foundation is thick, Liangzhou is only a few years old, Liang people may not be willing to obey, Yang Hu also has the hope of anyway; As for the third - although I leave Jing, if Qing stays in Xiangyang, may Qing be my royal general? ”

Tao Zhan hesitated for a moment and said: "Wang Shijiang is easy to win, and I am afraid that Wang Shizhong's generals will come, so what can I do?" ”

Zhou Wan shook his head lightly: "If I can enter Liangzhou smoothly, it will not hurt to abandon Jing; If you can't win, go down the river and be in harmony with Qing, even if the king is in the middle, how can you be the enemy of me? ”

Tao Zhan said: "It will take time for the grain to accumulate and the sergeants to be trained, and if the preparation is insufficient, the adults may not be able to win......

Zhou Wan said right-"I can't rush the troops, I should first accumulate and train again, and send people to secretly watch Yang Hu's movements and look for good opportunities." However, Wang Chuzhong must urge him, so he can ask him for supplies, and ask him to send boats and boats to go up the river first, so as to contain Li Xiong - and wait for the soldiers of Jiang and Hunan to move first, and our army will not be too late to move. ”

Tao Zhan, Zhou Fu, and Zhou Guang looked at each other, and said in their hearts that it seems that the old man is determined to attack Hanzhong, so we can't persuade him at all...... That's it, anyway, it's not an immediate march, and it's useless to talk too much, so let's hurry up and prepare for sending troops. Therefore, Zhou Fu said: "Please lead the troops to Xicheng first, spy on the movements of Liangzhou for Daddy, and repair the city defense for grain transportation and the ......garrison of the army."

——————————

So Zhou Wan actively prepared for the attack in Jingzhou, and at the same time sent Tao Zhan to Jiangzhou to cry poverty to Wang Dun, saying that Jingzhou was initially decided, the soldiers were tired, the equipment was incomplete, and the grain was insufficient, how could it be possible to obey the orders of the court and enter Hanzhong? Otherwise, General Wang, you will send us thousands of knives and spears, hundreds of boats, and tens of thousands of grains.

Wang Dun discussed with his cronies Qian Feng and Shen Chong, Shen Chong suggested not to give it, but Qian Feng said: "Zhou Shida wants to blame Ming Gongye, if I don't have an inch of soldiers and grains of rice, he will play the court, please sleep and fight the discussion - now the big Sima has broken Hu, since he is not afraid of the thief out of Qishan, the court may allow him to play." It's better to plug it with a little bit. ”

So he prepared hundreds of weapons and dozens of boats, carrying five or six thousand grains of grain and grass—basically one-tenth of what was required—and handed them to Tao Zhan, saying that our army would obey the orders of the court and send troops up the river to contain the thieves for you, and there really wouldn't be much to come up with. Tao Zhan couldn't fight hard, so he had to escort these materials back to Jingzhou, and when he saw Zhou Wan, he said:

"It is rumored that Shen Shiju admonishes the king Chuzhong, and the soldiers and grains of rice are not with me, and Qian Shiyi Naiyun is slightly with him. If you are more with me, in order to show its magnanimity, you can win the hearts of the people of Jingzhou; If not, in order to show its strength, it can determine the government of Jiangzhou; Only a little bit ...... with me."

said and smiled: "Qian Shiyi is calculating, if he is a businessman in the countryside, how can he have the slightest gentleman's character?" Wang Chuzhong pretends to be a hero, and uses such a village as the master, if he retreats to become a rich man, he may be able to multiply the industry, if he wants to do a great cause, he can expect to be defeated! ”

Zhou Wan also smiled and said: "If I was promised to be the assassin of Jingzhou, or if he didn't allow it, I have no complaints, and I promise to break my promise, how can it be done by Haojie?" Langya Wang's family, more small tools, less talents. ”

During this time, Zhou Fu was stationed in Xicheng, and news came back one after another, saying that the political situation in Liangzhou was not stable and Yang Hu's rule was in jeopardy. In particular, Fan Changsheng's plan to spread his own teachings back to Hanzhong was resisted by Yang Hu, and the relationship between Yang Hu and Li Xiong gradually became estranged......

Fan Changsheng is a native of Fuling (originally belonging to Ba County), the 11th year of the reign of the Shu Han Dynasty, Fuling County, for the general Deng Zhi to seek peace, then moved his people to 5,000 households near Chengdu, including Fan Changsheng's family, after entering the Jin Dynasty, he led thousands of households to live in the foothills of Qingcheng Mountain, and began to preach his Taoism.

What Fan Changsheng preached was the "Five Buckets of Rice Dao". This method was created by Peiren Zhang Ling after entering Shu, Zhang Ling passed on Zhang Heng, Zhang Heng passed on Zhang Lu, to his grandson Zhang Lu, invaded Hanzhong, to teach the law to restrain the army and the people, and almost built Hanzhong into a primitive Taoist kingdom. Later, Cao Cao destroyed Zhang Lu and ordered him to lead most of the parishioners to move to the Central Plains, and at the same time, some parishioners fled south to Bashu. In the original history, in the era of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the "Five Buckets of Rice Road" gradually evolved into the "Heavenly Master Dao", with two prosperous centers, one is under the rule of Bashu Cheng Han, the representative figure is Fan Changsheng, and the other is in the south of the Yangtze River, the representative figures are Du Zigong, Sun En, etc. - more importantly, many children of the world, including Langya Wang, Chenjun Xie, Gaoping Xi, etc., also all believe in the Tao of the Heavenly Master.

Therefore, since Yang Hu was demoted to Hanzhong, Fan Changsheng naturally hoped to pass the teachings back to Hanzhong, the old base area, however, thinking that Zhang Lu used the mission to enter Hanzhong and then seized the authority of secular officials, how could Yang Hu dare to make the same mistake as before? Therefore, many parties obstructed it, which caused discord between Liang and Yi.

It is said that Li Xiong has sent a large army to Zitong County and Sanba, which seems to have the intention of attacking Hanzhong.

Zhou Yu decided from this: "It's the right time to take the beam!" "The plan was to lead the troops from Xiangyang in April and May, pass through Xicheng, along the water, and enter Hanzhong, in order to make a forced landing on Yang Hu.

——————————

Since Zhou Shida has made up his mind to use the rest of his life, which may not be very long, to fight again, and strive to recover Hanzhong and even the entire Liangzhou for the imperial court, and make merit in the annals of history, so that Tao Shixing will not be in the front, then he will naturally send people to Guanzhong to pay tribute to Pei Cai, hoping that when he sends his troops, the Guanzhong army can force Hanzhong through Wudu as a response and containment.

Pei Gai has always been very concerned about the movements of Jiangnan, and he is generally clear about the causes and consequences of this matter. At the beginning of the imperial court's edict that day, he asked Tao Kan: "This is Wang Chuzhong's desire to take all the jing, so he forced Zhou Shida to go west." Although, Qing and Zhou Shida are familiar with each other, you can try to speculate, are you willing to obey the order? ”

Tao Kan replied: "If he cuts down Liang a month ago, he can contain the thieves for me, so that he cannot cross the Qi Mountain and attack me weakly; Now that I have broken the Hu Master, it will be useless to cut down the beam again. I privately thought that when Guanzhong was stabilized, Da Sima sent troops out of many ways to take Bashu in the south, such as the story of Zhong and Deng Huashu, and made Jing and Hunan respond to it. And if Jing and Hunan are the mainstays, I am afraid that the Jingzhou soldiers will not be able to endure hard fighting, and it will inevitably be twice the work and half the effort...... "Tao Kan has been fighting on the river for a long time, what is the quality of the Jingzhou soldiers, he is naturally clear.

"It's just that with the nature of Yishida, old and spicy, he knows the difficulties, or he rises to the difficulties. Especially with Chen Daoyuan's words, I am afraid that his future is running out......" Chen Xun's appearance on that day was introduced to Pei Gai.

Pei Gai read history in his previous life and didn't notice this detail, but he still remembered it if he didn't live long. Therefore, he said to Tao Kan: "If Zhou Shida can break Yang Hu and collect Hanzhong, then I have no worries, but I can go straight to Pingyang - if he responds to the edict, I should respond to it." ”

Now that he was convinced that he really planned to attack Hanzhong, Pei Gai immediately ordered Xiong Yizhi, who was stationed in Wudu, to change the Qiang soldiers of Liang and work together to find an opportunity to go south.
