Chapter 160: Woe to the Wall

The three counties were newly settled, and Liu Zhang originally wanted to stay here for some time to deter those with ulterior motives, and then lead the army back to Chengdu after the three counties were on the right track, but Xun Yu's urgent letter changed his itinerary......

Liu Zhang ordered Wu Ban and Lei Tong to lead 15,000 soldiers to sit in the three counties and reorganize 20,000 prisoners (Liu Zhang captured nearly 50,000 prisoners in the three counties, most of them were strong men who had just been captured by Cao Yin and others, these people went home with Liu Zhang's travel expenses, and the rest picked out the old and weak and wounded, and finally only 20,000 people remained), and there were 30,000 sailors in the remaining 60,000 troops, and he transferred them all to Jiangxia, and ordered Gan Ning to train strictly, and then mobilized ships to lead 30,000 victorious divisions to Chengdu in a hurry.

For Liu Zhang to leave Wuling in such a hurry, the things Xun Yu said in the official document must be insignificant. In fact, if this is the case, according to Xun Yu's letter, there was a rebellion in Yizhou!

It turned out that Zhao Wei, who had won Liu Yan's trust in the past, served as a driver in Yizhou for a long time when Liu Yan was alive, and he was the number two person in Yizhou when he was alive. But as soon as Liu Yan died, Liu Zhang succeeded to the post of state pastor, as the so-called son of heaven and a courtier, Liu Zhang hired a large number of newcomers, and Zhao Wei's old qualifications were either promoted and secretly demoted, held false positions, or released as officials, far from the core of power. In history, Zhao Wei has the stain of raising troops to rebel, and Zhao itself is Yizhou strong, huge power, Zhao Wei has long held the important position of Yizhou don't drive, and has cultivated a large number of henchmen, it can be said that the protégé and former officials are all over Yizhou, after Liu Zhang's succession, Zhao Wei does not know the truth of the torrent and retreats, and still wants to control Yizhou, often regards himself as Liu Zhang's uncle, and points fingers at Liu Zhang's policies. Whether it was to avoid being constrained by others, the promulgated policies could be implemented, or to eliminate Liu Yan's influence, or to prevent Zhao Yun from being too powerful and powerful, Liu Zhang must limit Zhao Wei's power. As a result, Zhao Wei was removed from the post of other driver and reappointed as Guanghan Taishou. Guanghan is the seat of Yizhou Prefecture, and the position of Taishou is naturally a high authority, and it is not a demotion. However, it didn't take long for Liu Zhang to announce the relocation of Chengdu, so that the importance of Guanghan was immediately greatly reduced, and Zhao Wei's status plummeted, which made him very dissatisfied. In addition, Liu Zhang also announced the separation of military, political, and legal powers, and mutual checks and balances, which greatly weakened the power of the Taishou and the county commander (chief), which further deepened Zhao Wei's jealousy of Liu Zhang.

Zhao Wei knew that Liu Zhang was suppressing him, he didn't know if Liu Zhang would continue to press him down, and one day, when his influence was eliminated, would he be eliminated? He was often awakened in the middle of the night by nightmares in which Liu Zhang personally cut off his head with a knife......

This time, Liu Zhang's expedition to Jingzhou has been scared, and finally Zhao Wei decided to fight back. He knew that Liu Zhang's gentleness, his mother's filial piety, and the four brothers' brotherhood were very strong, as long as he took Liu's mother and Liu Mao, he could coerce Liu Zhang, Liu Fan, and Liu Li, and let Liu Zhang give up the position of state pastor to him. So he ran around, contacted his former friends, friends, and protégés, and persuaded them to join his camp, in order to attract them to join, he naturally inevitably allowed gold and silver beauties, high-ranking officials, and emotionally accused Liu Zhang of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, reusing cronies and villains, and violating Liu Yan's will to suppress the meritorious old ministers of the previous dynasty......

After Zhao Wei's painstaking lobbying, he really persuaded many people, such as Guanghan County Lieutenant Pang Le, Qianwei County Lieutenant Ren Qi, Qianwei Changshi Chen Chao, Ba County Governor Bo Jialong, Jiangyang Ling Li Yi, Yilang Pang Xi, Yizhou Haoqiang Deng, Huang Shi, etc., all responded to Zhao Wei and agreed to jointly raise troops on June 15 to attack Chengdu.

At the beginning, Yizhou Assassin Shi Jian gathered in Yizhou and did not obey the king's orders, Liu Yan invited himself to be the state pastor, detained and rectified the officials. Before Liu Yan arrived, Yin Jian had been killed by Ma Xiang, and Jia Long organized the righteous army to defeat Ma Xiang to welcome Liu Yan into Shu, with outstanding achievements. Later, Jia Long, Ren Qi and Chen Chao were persuaded by Dong Zhuo to rebel, and they were defeated in 191 AD and killed by Liu Yan. Liu Zhang's arrival shook history, and the lives of the three were extended for more than three years, but it is a pity that in this time and space, without Dong Zhuo's lobbying, Zhao Wei jumped out again, it seems that some things are inevitable after all.

In order to increase the success, Zhao Wei found Zhang Song, who was also demoted. Zhao Wei and Zhang Song have worked together for many years, and they know Zhang Song's personality very well. However, after Liu Zhang came to power, Zhang Song was also exiled and stayed away from the core of Yizhou, thus losing the opportunity to realize his ambition. Zhao Wei decided that Zhang Song must resent Liu Zhang, so he persuaded him to join in the incident, and promised that once the matter was completed, he would be allowed to take up the post of Yizhou.

When he was released by Liu Zhang, Zhang Song was indeed unwilling, but Zhang Song was a smart man, and Zhang Song admired many measures during Liu Zhang's administration, and he saw from Liu Zhang's governance that Liu Zhang was a person with lofty ambitions. Sure enough, after Ding Wei defended the system, Liu Zhang began to expand externally, as Qianwei Taishou, Zhang Song was of course able to get the news of the front line in time, since the Yizhou army entered Jingzhou, the good news was frequent, Wang Rui had been defeated and captured, and only the four counties of Jingnan in Jingzhou were facing each other across the river. Zhang Song knew very well that with the strength of the Yizhou army, it was easy to sweep Jingnan, and once Liu Zhangquan took Jingzhou, his forces would span Yizhou and Jing, and the government would be overflowing and prosperous. Now there is a big chaos today, the heroes are competing for the Central Plains, and the Han Dynasty is facing the danger of changing the dynasty. Zhang Song thought that this was the same as when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, and Liu Zhang had two states, more than 100,000 soldiers, countless strong generals, and even more innate advantages - the Han clan. Liu Zhang has so many benefits, can't he be Emperor Guangwu in order to pay for it? Although Zhang Song was temporarily demoted, he believed that as long as he was diligent and self-motivated, conscientious, one day Liu Zhang would reuse himself, on the other hand, Zhao Wei, but an arrogant, disloyal and unrighteous villain, if he and Zhao Wei got into trouble together, failure would naturally inevitably lead to the punishment of splitting the car, even if he succeeded, with Zhao Wei's character, it would be difficult to tolerate him, and he would also inevitably die at that time! So the choice was easy to make, he promised Zhao Wei on the one hand, but secretly reported the matter to Xun Yu.

Zhao Wei's abnormal movements failed to hide from Xun Yu, and the reason why he didn't do it was to put a long line and catch a big fish. Xun Yu knew that Yizhou was Liu Zhang's foundation, and there was no room for error, and Liu Yan's influence always existed, and a group of old ministers called Liu Yan's name to obstruct Liu Zhang's new policy openly and secretly, these people have huge power, if they are not cleared, once they break out, it is likely to endanger Liu Zhang's rule. This time, Zhao Wei decided to start an incident, which is just the opportunity to let all these unstable factors surface and solve Yizhou's internal worries once and for all.

When Zhang Song showed his heart to Xun Yu, Xun Yu laughed and took a letter and handed it to Zhang Song. Zhang Song didn't understand what it meant, and couldn't help but be shocked, the content of the letter turned out to be the secret meeting between him and Zhao Wei......

Zhang Song couldn't help but sweat coldly, and was afraid, he realized that everything was in Xun Yu's hands, but Zhao Wei didn't know it, like a clown, if he didn't report it to Xun Yu today, you can imagine what kind of consequences he will have in the future, he can't help but be glad that his choice is not wrong, I believe that after this incident, Liu Zhang's attitude towards himself should change, as long as Liu Zhang can trust and reuse himself, he believes that with his own ability, he will definitely be famous all over the world and famous all over the world.

Xun Yu asked Zhang Song to go back and continue to deal with Zhao Yun, and secretly reported Zhao Wei's arrangement, and Zhang Song happily returned.

On June 15, Zhao Wei led a rabble of more than 30,000 people and marched to Chengdu in two directions.

Xun Yu got accurate information and ordered Guan Yu and Yan Yan to lead their troops to set up ambushes in Wuyang and Mianzhu respectively. The rebels swaggered into the ambush circle, and the ambush army shot arrows randomly, and the rabble of rebels suddenly collapsed and fled for their lives. Seeing that there was no hope of victory, Pang Xi and Li Yi killed Zhao Wei and asked for surrender, and the rebellion was quelled. Ren Qi died in the chaos, Chen Chao and Jia Long were captured, the rebels suffered more than 4,000 casualties, more than 27,000 were captured, and only a few hundred escaped in the chaos. Xun Yu didn't take it to heart, the leader of the rebel party died, the prisoners were captured, and hundreds of people were unled, so they couldn't make any waves.

Although Xun Yu told Liu Zhang that the rebellion had been quelled, Liu Zhang rushed back non-stop, and he knew very well that after the rebellion, Yizhou must be unstable, and he must rush back as soon as possible to stabilize the morale of the people, otherwise it may lead to serious trouble.
