Chapter 105: Marching to Chengdu (1)
Hey~~ Why is the capital of Sichuan Province a sensitive word? I don't understand
After Dong Ming arranged everything for more than half an hour, Deng Ai came to Dong Ming's room under the guidance of Ma Miao, the magistrate of Jiangyou County.
"General Zhengxi, this is the son of Dong Ming and Dong Chongliang, a big man, uh, no, he is the eldest son of the former Shangshu Ling of Xishu, and now Zitong is too shou Dong Ju Dong Gong Xi."
"Hehehe, General Zhengxi? Well, you are Deng Ai of the pseudo-Wei? β
"Bold! The little thief in Xishu, when he is dying, he still dares to call me Da Wei contemptuously!? β
Deng Ai waved his hand lightly to stop the insults of his subordinates - now that he was the victor, there was no need to be so harsh on the loser.
"Dong Gongzi, I don't know what position you hold in Xishu?"
"No official and no position."
"Oh, since there is no official and no position, then the prince has no obligations to Xishu. Why bother to burn down the grain depots and arsenals? You need to know that you are doing this, which makes Deng very embarrassed. β
"What's so hard about it? This son originally followed his father to guard Jiangyou. My father went to CD and didn't return for a while.,That son is the highest guard here.γ Defend the generals, if you can't defend the city, it's just that, is it difficult to leave the materials in the city to the enemy? β
"That's it, Ben will ask Childe, would you like to surrender?"
"Dong Ming doesn't fall."
"Childe is deceiving me, Deng Ai's knife is not good?"
"Seriously, my son has spent all these years drinking and drinking, and he has never suffered much...... Guan Maniac's fist really hurts...... Hey, in short, when I saw the general's sword, I was actually scared to death. You see, I'm shaking all over now. But...... I, Dong Mingsheng, am the son of a great Han, even if I want to die, I have to die as a citizen of the Great Han. β
"Childe, why are you doing this?" It was Ma Miao who opened his mouth to persuade. "The army of Great Wei from Jinggu Road this time is full of 30,000. And it was tumbling down a hill, thus avoiding the defense of our army. Therefore, the fall of Jiangyou is not a crime of war......"
"Shut up! You shameless villain. Greed for life and fear of death is human nature. If you have to surrender in order to survive after the city is broken, it will be fine. But what have you done? Leading your Ma family's personal guards to intercept and kill my Dong family's generals who went to burn down the grain depot, this is shameless! Shameless! β
"Hehehe, it turns out that Dong Gongzi is also well-informed at this moment. But Dong Gongzi, since this is the case, then the official will also tell you thoroughly: even if the official does not send someone to intercept your generals, it will not hurt for you to burn down all the grain depots. Because...... The Xiang family, the Liu family, the Jia family, the Pang family and other Yizhou clans have all moved. Even if there is not a grain of grain here, within three days, countless grains will gather here! You Jingzhou people have oppressed us Yizhou people for too long! We Yizhou people look forward to the Great Wei Heavenly Soldiers, like the seedlings of a long drought looking forward to nectar! β
ββ¦β¦ Ay...... I see. Back then, every time my father came home from the court, he talked about all kinds of unbearable people in Yizhou, but I didn't expect that my Jingzhou people were already so angry and resentful in Yizhou? That's it, General Deng, that's it. Please send a knife to send Ben Gongzi on the road faster. If the Han really can't escape the disaster of destroying the country this time, there will be a few people to bury him. β
Deng Ai arched his hand towards Dong Ming: "Chongliang Gaoyi, Deng admires." This personally sent Chongliang on the road. β
In the early morning of October 28, 267, Cao Wei's general Deng Ai led an army to raid Jiangyou. The city was broken, and Dong Ming and Dong Chongliang, who guarded the city on behalf of his father, were killed. So far, the strategic situation of the war between the Han and Wei countries has been completely reversed.
β¦β¦
When Guan Yi received the news of the fall of Jiangyou, it was already November 3. Five days have passed.
"Hey, I didn't expect Dong Chongliang to have such integrity." He let out a long sigh and watched the exhaled white qi slowly dissipate in the low temperature. Guan Yi's eyes became firm: "Change it, even Dong Chongliang can do this." What else do I have to hesitate about? I've decided, I'm going to take that step! β
Ma Guo looked at Guan Yi's eyes for a long time, and then said firmly: "I wish to accompany Zifeng to the end!" β
The step that Guan Yi said is a step that once you take it, there is no turning back - to be a powerful minister.
The so-called power minister is to monopolize the power and let the emperor go aside. I did what I wanted to do when I thought of it, and I didn't need to consider the emperor's opinion at all. If the emperor is knowledgeable, it is enough, if he is crooked there, then he will be abolished or even killed!
In this era, Cao Cao was a minister, Sima Yi was a minister, and Zhuge Ke, Sun Jun, and Sun Qi of Eastern Wu were all ministers. Now Cao Wei's Xiangguo Sima Zhao is also a powerful minister. From this history, Huo Guang and Dong Zhuo are powerful ministers. Counting down, Liu Yu, Xiao Daocheng, Xiao Yan, Chen Baxian...... All of them are powerful ministers.
It can be seen that once the step of being a powerful minister is taken, it will either be counterattacked by the monarch and counted as a dead clan. or seek to usurp the throne and be infamous for eternity.
The only exception is Zhuge Liang. Thousands of years of history, as a powerful minister, get a good death. There seems to be only one isolated case. (Jiang Wan was very restrained by Fei Yi, and he can't be regarded as a real minister.) And Fei Yi is not allowed to die well)
But the formation of this solitary case is, on the one hand, Zhuge Liang's own noble character and strong self-restraint ability. On the other hand, Liu Chan's high patience and superb political skills. The current Boss Liu is no longer the ignorant teenager he was back then, and Mr. Liu Chan, who has tasted the taste of monopoly power, will never tolerate a new generation of powerful ministers in his eyes at this time.
Since the bell will leave the town in February of this year, Guan Yi has been constantly reminding people from all walks of life in Shu Han through various ways, asking them to pay attention to this and there. But no matter what Guan Yi did, there was one line that he always held firmly: Liu Chan didn't speak, he would never mobilize the army privatelyβotherwise, he would have taken his army to Jiangyou a long time agoβthat was when Deng Ai was at his weakest, and annihilating him there was the most promising and possible.
But now is the end of the Three Kingdoms, not the era of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. During this period, the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu were founded for more than 40 years. The system of state rule has been relatively solid. In this day and age, do you play without a purpose, march on the capital? What do you want? Before meeting Deng Ai, will there be a few civil wars to destroy the hinterland of Shu Han?
At the beginning of this war, if you send troops without permission, you will definitely be suppressed by the imperial court. Now it is different, the enemy has entered the hinterland of the country, and at this time, if he wants to march without will, he should be able to get the goodwill, neutrality, or even positive response of the county guards along the way. But to be honest, if there is a choice, Guan Yi actually doesn't want to do it.
Because, he doesn't want to be a powerful minister.
Once the step of privately deploying troops is taken, this time is the autumn of national peril, and there may be nothing. But once Shu Han survived this crisis, the liquidation against him would definitely come violently. At that time, Guan Yi's only choice was to hold on to the army in his hand, take the Yuancong faction as the core, unite the Jingzhou faction and Jiang Wei and others, restore the situation of letting the emperor stand aside in the Zhuge Liang era, and be a new generation of powerful ministers!
Is it so easy for the ministers to do it? If you're not careful, you'll die! Do you think Sima Yi really wanted to be a powerful minister in the first place? Do you think Sima Zhao is really comfortable in that position now? Do you think Jiang Wei doesn't have the ability to be a powerful minister? But whether he is wronged or guilty, he has always refused to take that step - it is a point of no return.
But if you don't take this step at this time, Deng Ai will soon hit Mianzhu - don't tell me any nonsense like Yan Yu is also a good general, there is Zhuge Zhan, the dead peacock who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures, is pressed on it. Yan Yu couldn't help it even if Wei Wu was alive. If at this time there was no clear order from the imperial court and not marching towards the CD with the army. At that time, once Liu Chan goes out of the city and surrenders, it will be too late!
"Change it and send a letter to Jiang Yang's order. Well...... Let's just say that I am going to march to the CD without His Majesty's explicit instructions. Ask him if he dares to go with me. β
ββ¦β¦ Jiang Yang Shou will follow the king. β
"Hehehe, I hope so. I will pass on my decision today to all shareholders, and let them choose for themselves. β
ββ¦β¦ Zifeng, the whole Fuxing Society, they are willing to follow you until the sky collapses. β
"I'm confident in that, too. Instead, I wrote in the letter the date of departure of our army and the possible arrival time of each county along the way, and clearly informed the counties along the way of our intention to guard me. The military situation is like fire, and I won't wait for them to reply one by one. The order will be sent later, all the 10,000 soldiers of Fuling County will be mobilized, and the whole army will immediately march towards the CD! β
"No!"
"In addition, I also sent a letter to Huo Shao in Nanzhong. I'm going to go to King Qin without a clear will, and ask him if he dares to keep up......."
"Hehehe, okay. But, Zifeng. Do we want to leave a little force for Luo Lingze in Yong'an? β
"No, we went this time, facing the veteran Deng Ai. Every force must be used. As for Yong'an's defense. Hehehe, there is an iron wall Luo Xian guarding Yong'an, Wu Gou doesn't come to sneak attack, even if he comes, he is destined to hit his head and bleed! β
"Zifeng is so confident in Luo Lingze?"
Of course, because I'm a traverser.
Seeing Guan Yi smiling and silent, Ma Guo also smiled lightly: "Okay, skip this matter." However, on the way of our army's advance to the CD, there is another place that is heavily guarded. If we don't let us go here......"
"I know, I'm going there today."
The place where Ma Guo said that there were heavy troops on the way to the army was Jiangzhou (now Chongqing), the largest city of Shu Han in the east. This is the county seat of Ba County, the second largest county in Shu Han, and the current Ba County Taishou is the hometown of Ma Cheng!
ββββββI'm a rare dividing lineββββ
While it's not on the shelves yet, it's all free anyway, and I will say something off-topic in the text.
Recently, many book friends have complained that the plot is too sadistic, and some trolls have sprayed at me. But whether it's an opinion or not, just spray me. This all shows that everyone has read this book, and I have to express my gratitude first.
But I still say the same thing: what I pursue is rationality first, and then coolness. Everyone reads books in their spare time mainly for recreation, and it's not good to be too sadistic. But you can't just scribble because of this, right? Maybe some authors can, but I really can't.
Next, let's talk about Jiangyou's guard Ma Miao. There are two kinds of images of this person. Historical records are: Zhong Hui sent his subordinate Tian Zhang to find a way from the side of the Sword Pavilion. After Deng Ai began to march from Yinping, with Tian Zhang as the vanguard, he defeated Ma Miao's team more than 100 miles away from Jiangyou City, and Ma Miao was defeated and surrendered - it can be seen that Shu Han actually defended Jinggu Dao. It's just that this defense didn't resist.
At the same time, the history books also record that Zhuge Zhan sat in Fucheng at that time, quietly watching Ma Miao surrender in defeat without reinforcements - as for why, I will explain in detail later. Zhuge Zhan is not a fool, his problem is too smart. It's a pity that it's all clever.
In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Ma Miao is the general of Jiangyou, and as soon as he heard that Deng Ai's army was coming, he immediately opened the city and surrendered. In the process, he was scolded by his wife Li (the paragraph where Li scolded her husband was written quite wonderfully).
As far as my personal feelings are concerned, the gap between surrender in defeat and surrender without a fight is too great on the moral level of people. Therefore, there is no complete adoption of the statement of romance. Let's put the two statements together.
PS: Tomorrow morning's chapter, it's cool.
