Chapter 58, from Chengdu to Dianchi Lake

In February of the fourth year of Jingde, Tao Kan finally broke through Li Shou's defense line in Mianzhu and entered Ruxian County.

It is the old rule of Yizhou, which is only 100 miles away from Chengdu, and there is no danger. And Li Shou was defeated, and Li Ban was besieged by Lu He in Langzhong, so the available troops in Chengdu were no longer enough.

Because of the lack of organization and discipline, the Cheng army can only fight a good battle, once it encounters a setback, the soldiers will inevitably disperse, and there are very few who are willing to run back to Chengdu to serve the Li family. In such a situation, Li Xiong had no power to return to heaven, and he couldn't help but be depressed, and under Li Xiang's repeated persuasion, he planned to go to the emperor to claim the title of vassal to the Hua Dynasty.

Li Shou still refused to give up, and suggested that Chengdu should be abandoned for the time being, retreat south to Qianwei County, gather soldiers and horses, and plot to do it again. But no matter how unreliable this idea is, with his defeated body, he doesn't fart loudly now, and he is finally repelled by Li Xiong. New 81 Chinese network updates the fastest Computer:/

So Li Xiong sent Li Xiang to Tao Kan's army to negotiate conditions. Li Xiang first proposed, hoping to go to the emperor and become a Hua domain, and hand over half of Sanba and Yizhou, and only defend the area south of Shu County, in exchange for Tao Kan's retreat. Tao Shixing didn't answer positively, but just smiled and said: "Since the army is in Chengdu and can come to Chengdu at night, will Li Zhongjun (Li Xiong) still hope for Wang Yushu?" ”

I don't want you to surrender unconditionally, but can you be more sincere in the conditions you put forward?

Li Xiang felt quite helpless, so he said that the Li family was nothing more than China's meaning, and it was purely forced by the officials of the old Jin Dynasty, and he had no choice but to divide Liang and Yi - "I have heard that the Son of Heaven is benevolent, and he may forgive my lord and avoid the death penalty?" ”

Tao Kan nodded and comforted: "Before I come, I also ask the Son of Heaven to order how to deal with the Li family." Tianziyun, although the Li family is divided into a corner and does not obey the king, there is no evil of killing the people in the end, but there is a favor for Yizhou, which cannot be compared with Hu and Qian, so naturally there is no need to show killing. If you are willing to repent, you can ...... the story of Liu Chan and Sun Hao in the past"

In other words, as long as the Li clan is willing to surrender and join the army, not only will they have no worries about their lives, but they will also be able to enjoy wealth and prosperity for a long time - of course, within a few generations, don't want complete freedom.

However, Tao Kan immediately changed the conversation and said: "It's just that if the Li family stops the king of Liang and Yi, then it will be enough, and he dares to claim the title of emperor!" I don't know who instigated Li Zhongjun? Although a hundred deaths cannot redeem their innocence! ”

This was said very clearly, so after Li Xiang returned to Chengdu, he played Li Xiong and lured the former prime minister Fan Ben to the court to be killed, and then Li Xiang held Fan Ben's head and entered the Chinese camp for the second.

β€”β€”It was Fan Changsheng who called Li Xiong the emperor at the beginning, but unfortunately Fan Changsheng had already hung up, so the Li family beheaded his son Fan Ben to show his sincerity. The reason why Tao Kan instructed Li Xiang to kill Fan Ben was to intimidate the Li clan and ministers who were not willing to submit, and second, to declare the evil of usurpation, so as to give an explanation to the people of the world.

When he saw Fan Ben's head, Tao Shixing nodded and said, "But I should enter first." ”

So Ruoxian opened the city gate, let the Chinese army enter, and Tao Kan rested in the city for three days, waiting for Li Xiong to prepare for surrender. Zhen Sui expressed dissatisfaction with this and said: "Now that you have won the land, you should take Chengdu directly - if Li Xiong pretends to surrender, but in fact flees south, what will he do?" ”

Tao Kan said with a smile: "If he dares to escape, the whole clan will be wiped out - since General Zhen can lead his troops to chase after him, wouldn't the general care?" ”

Zhen said casually that I want to return my legs and feet, of course, I hope that the Li family will not surrender, so I can kill them all, but it's a pity......

Three days later, the main force of the Chinese army left Ruoxian County and entered the suburbs of Chengdu, Li Xiong really bound himself to surrender, Tao Kannai personally untied his bindings, ordered his coffin to be withdrawn, and then took Li Xiong's hand into Chengdu City.

Chengguo - in the original history, Li Shou changed his name to Han after usurping the throne, so it was called Cheng Han in history - was destroyed, and Li Xiong was taken to Luoyang and demoted to Zhu Tihou.

After all, Li Xiong did not have any great evil - to tell the truth, when the world was in turmoil at the end of the Jin Dynasty, after the Li family became self-reliant in Yizhou, he was quite concerned about the people's livelihood and was still able to protect the party, and for the local area, his merit was no less than that of the Zhang family in Liangzhou - so there was no need to give a very unkind evil name such as "returning to fate" as Jin did with Sun Hao.

Let's say that even if Li Xiong has been surrendered, Li Ban and others cannot exist alone, and the surrounding counties have been surrendered one after another. Naturally, there are still forces that resolutely go to the black, and Tao Kannai ordered Lu He, Zhou Fu and others to divide their troops.

Before and after recruiting no less than 30,000 Li soldiers, among which the people of Bashu were all released to Longmu, as for Luoyang Di and the people of Guanxi who originally followed the Li Teh brothers into Shu, they planned to move back to Yongzhou and Qin in batches.

I think that the reason why the Li family caused chaos in Shu back then, and then divided a corner, in addition to the persecution of the Jin officials, a big reason was the gap between the host and the guest - that is, the contradiction between the displaced people and the aborigines. If these displaced people are still placed in Shudi, I am afraid that within a few generations, the contradictions will be insoluble, which will inevitably lead to local instability and thieves, so it is better to drive them back to their hometown.

At the beginning, the homeless people were because of the great hunger in Kansai, and they had no choice but to go to Shu to eatβ€”otherwise, who would want to leave their hometown. Later, the Jin officials returned to their hometowns one by one, but although the famine in Kansai was resolved, the society was still unstable, so it was easy to escape, and who would go back hopelessly? That's why the Leet brothers put up a counter-flag. Now that Kansai has been flattened, but there are few people in the land, it is just right to migrate these displaced people back to the two states.

Even the Li family and other slightly yang di, are mostly farming, nomadic habits do not exist, in this case, let them go back to their hometown to cultivate, for the country and for the individual, there is no harm. As for the xenophobic sentiment of the Bashu natives, this problem has to be planned separately and try to gradually dissolve, if you want to use the contradiction between the host and the guest to control the Bashu, you will definitely lift a stone to shoot yourself in the foot - the Bashu is the main and the guest is outnumbered, and the Li family relies on supporting the guest people to calm the place, can the Hua Dynasty still do this?

Therefore, although Bashu is decided, there are a lot of things to do, and it is not so easy to get rid of it, and although China and the DPRK have been prepared, they will successively appoint capable officials to govern Liang and Yierzhou. Tao Kan could not leave Shu for this reason, and it was inconvenient for the army to return to the Central Plains.

It wasn't until midsummer that the two states were finally pacified, and Zhen Sui's broken leg was almost healed. With a dexterity of legs and feet, Zhen Manzi couldn't sit still, so he invited 3,000 generals to go south to collect Ningzhou.

Regarding this matter, Tao Kan originally belonged to Lu He, but Zhen Sui said: "Just as the summer is hot, Nanzhong is full of miasma, Xiao Lu is from Qingzhou, where can he get used to it?" Once you have a heat stroke, or even an illness, and there is no good doctor in the army, I am afraid that I will be destined to go south, and I will return to the north without a life, and I will bury my bones in a wild place......"

Lu He squinted at Zhen Sui on the side, and said in his heart that I recruited you to provoke you, why are you cursing me if it's okay?!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The last general is a native of Xiangzhou, who is used to walking in the mountains, wearing the jungle, and can withstand the heat and smell the miasma, so Tao Shuai will not entrust me to go to Nanzhong, who else can I send? ”

Tao Kanxin said that you always have a reason, but I can't refute the reason for the question...... After a long silence, he said: "General Zhen is indeed the best choice to go to Dingning Prefecture, but 3,000 soldiers is too few?" Thinking that the Li clan has repeatedly sent generals and led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to the south, they can't settle down, let alone 3,000 people? ”

Zhen Sui smiled: "What is the use of soldiers? With tens of thousands, can you still be an old ...... Is it not possible to make the last general's department 3,000? Then he said: "As the last general said before, you must choose someone with good physical strength, who can walk in the wilderness, and who can avoid miasma, before you can follow me to Dingnanzhong." With this as a condition, even if there are 3,000 people, it is not easy to choose, and I am afraid that they will have to be recruited from Shuzhong. ”

So in the end, he carefully selected 3,000 people and crossed the water to the south. Chen Jian followed, and asked Zhen Sui on the way: "I thought that Zhen Shuai wanted to send troops from Yizhou and take Jing and Hunan in the east, but he ...... to the south and Zhongzhong" Zhen Sui smiled: "Xiao Chen, you don't think long enough." If you want to go east from Bashu, you must build a building boat and go down the river like Wang Jun in the past, but how can a building boat be created in three or five days? If I wait for the ship to be completed, it will be boring, and I am afraid that the court will call me Luo, so it is better to go to Ningzhou first - wait for the master to come back, it is estimated that the ship has also been built, and I can build the work of Dongding Jiangnan again. ”

Where to hit first and then where to fight, how can I never have the opportunity to sit on the cold bench, there is always an enemy to kill, the master knows in his heart - to be a man, you have to talk about planning.

Chen Jian was convinced. But he didn't follow Zhen Sui too far before he arrived in Zhuti, and before he could cross the Lushui, Chen Xingguo immediately contracted the disease and almost gave up his life.

From the southernmost part of the Chengdu Plain to Yandao County (that is, Yibin City in later generations), into the hills and mountains, to Ningzhou Zhizhi Dianchi (in the later Yuxi City Jiangchuan District), a distance of 1,500 miles, even if Zhen Sui found a suitable guide, and all the troops were elite, he took the lead in running the first when marching, and the daily journey was only forty or fifty miles - it is estimated that he would have to walk for a month. Fortunately, when he arrived at Tongyu Mountain, Wang Xun sent his subordinate general Jian Chen to contact him and expressed his willingness to follow Wanghua.

Wang Shaobo has been guarding Ningzhou for ten years, and he has been appeasing Zhuyi internally and Bayi outside, and he is also quite exhausted. He had sent people east many times, going north through Guangzhou, asking Sima Rui and Wang Dun for reinforcements, but he never received a response. After hearing that Ying Zhan was guarding Xiangzhou, Wang Xun saw a ray of light, and immediately sent a letter of imploring, hoping that Ying Zhan could take Qike west and open up the road to Ningzhou - then it would be convenient to ask for reinforcements and materials. However, Ying Siyuan's troops did not have many soldiers and horses, and soon after he traveled west, he was driven back by the Di soldiers......

For Wang Xun, the so-called "Beiwang Wang Shi is another year, and Wang Shi still has a few companies left"......

Hua Chao Zhaojian is already four years old, no matter how remote it is, the news is blocked, and Wang Shaobo finally got the letter. He wanted to send someone to Luoyang to express his position, but the north was Bayi, the east was the Jiankang regime, the mountains and rivers were long, and it was impossible to sneak through, so he had no choice but to continue to fight with Dianchi City.

The farthest time Ba Yi killed, the striker had reached Tongse, only four hundred miles away from Dianchi Lake, but was blocked back by Ningzhou's Yao Chong and Jiao Chen. However, Yao and the planing department also suffered heavy losses, and after returning to Dianchi, they said to Wang Xun, we can't afford to fight a few such battles, and if Di Kou comes again, there will be no luck......

"Why don't you temporarily surrender to Cheng? Ningzhou is remote, and the lord must not send officials to take over, or send a large army to garrison, so we can get a chance to breathe......"

However, this proposal was rejected by Wang Shaobo. Wang Xun said: "I came here with a festival to guard this wild and remote place for the country, I am ten years old, although I am dead, I am expected to leave a name in history, how can I be virtuous and not end?" If I wait and hold on for a few more years, Master Wang will come to save me. ”

Yao, Jiao and others all said: "If you talk in your dreams, Wang Shi can only rely on Jiang to defend himself, even if you can't go down, can An come to save me?" ”

Wang Xun smiled: "Do you think what I said refers to Jiankang?" I'm really in Luoyang. Then he said: "Hua is the lord of China, and I am the Jin official, and I should be subordinate to Hua from the old master." Although Jiankang wants to rule across the river, the king of Jin does not dare to practice the throne to Shao Jinzuo, then the name is not right, the words are not good, and his defeat can be expected. However, in a certain thought, Hua Tianzi wanted to settle in the southeast, and he should go to the southwest first, wait for Bashu, and then attack Wu Naiyi - so in just a few years, he will definitely fight with Di Kou. ”

After a pause, looking at the disapproving faces of everyone, he said: "If my words are invalid, and the Chinese army first takes Shu from Wu and then from Shu, or takes Shu without victory, then I should thank the world and let Qing and others either surrender to the real or false surrender to Chengdu." ”

When the generals heard this, they hurriedly surrendered their hands, but they didn't dare.

When Tao Kan accepted the surrender of the Li family, and the news finally reached Ningzhou a few months later, Wang Xun was overjoyed, that is, the generals: "Didn't my words the day before yesterday come true?" He planned to send an envoy to Chengdu, but he was blocked by the generals. All the generals said: "If I follow China, I will be evil to Jin." If the Chinese army stops at benefit, but the troops of Jiao and Guang come from the east, what should be done? ”

Wang Xun said abruptly: "They couldn't make friends with themselves and come to save me before, so how can they come to kill me now?" ”

However, the generals insisted on it, saying that it was better to wait for a while to see if the Chinese army had the intention of taking Ningzhou, and then it was not too late to make a decision.

The main thing is that they are different from the airborne soldier Wang Xun, they are all surnamed Nanzhong, and they belong to the head snake, I wish that although the Chinese were wiped out and did not pay attention to Ningzhou, wouldn't they be able to just protect a king and be the emperor of the southwest soil in a down-to-earth manner? Why do you have to find another mother-in-law?

It was not until Zhen Sui entered Ningzhou that the generals did not dare to stop Wang Xun anymore, and Jian Chen was ordered to meet him. When Zhen Sui met, he asked: "There are a lot of strokes in your surname, and the master can't recognize it...... But is it a species in the southwest? Jian Chen was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, so he had to explain with a smile: "No, I am also Xuanxuan of Zhu Rong, Zhu Rong's misty, after Yin Banlang of the Chu State Order in the Spring and Autumn Period, the late Han Dynasty began to enter Nanzhong - the general of Xi Shu is the great ancestor of the last general. "New Bayi Chinese Network debuted

Zhen Sui squinted at him, and said in his heart: "The lord doesn't believe it, most of them are clinging-Shu will have Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, etc., the emperor used to say that in ancient times, he never mentioned that there was a surname or ......."

Jian Chen took the Chinese army to Dianchi, Wang Xun went out of the city to greet him, and when he saw Zhen Sui, he immediately bowed his knees. It stands to reason that although Zhen Sui's grade is higher than Wang Xun's, it is not far away, so he should also kneel down and bow back; However, Zhen Sui just stepped forward slowly and reached out to support Wang Shaobo.

When the generals of Ningzhou saw it, their faces were full of anger.
