Sixty years ago, the Wei army attacked Shu, and the Shu general Jiang Wei and Jiang Bo gathered the generals to prevent the bell from meeting in the Sword Pavilion. Liu Chan, the queen of Shu, used the words of Zhou to tie himself up and surrender, and Jiang Wei and others surrendered to Wei, so "the soldiers were angry, and they drew their swords and cut stones" - but it was useless, the emperor surrendered, what are you still fighting.

Now the story is almost repeated, but the main forces of the Chinese army and the Di army are in Brazil, and they were plotted by Zhen to capture the key pass of the Sword Pavilion. In Li Shou's mind, Zhen Sui will definitely take Zitong and go to Chengdu, and he will become the master in danger, and maybe he will follow Liu Chan and open the city to surrender......

This is because the main force of the Di army is in Brazil, most of them are in their own hands, and less than half are in the hands of Li Ban, and there are really not many soldiers and horses left behind in Chengdu; Second, since he has left Chengdu, there is naturally only one "Jinqiao Zhou" left by the side of the owner, that is, his father Li Xiang, Li Xiang is most likely able to persuade him to surrender and follow China, and with his identity, status, and the weight of his words is not comparable to Zhou Chen; Three ...... The enemy general is Zhen Sui after all, the murderous name is known all over the world, do those generals who stay in the DPRK really dare to fight him?

The only way to do this is to abandon the danger and return to Chengdu to save the car, which is better than me carrying the front line to the death, sealing the edict every few days, and ordering me to surrender directly to Tao Kan.

So Li Shou immediately gathered soldiers and horses, abandoned Anhan City, broke through the siege, and went back to save Chengdu. Tao Kan has not yet received the news, although he is puzzled, I am afraid that it is a plan, and he does not dare to chase after it, but he also took the opportunity to seize Anhan City, and ordered Lu He to go north to attack Nanchong and Xichong. By the time the good news from the Sword Pavilion was repeated and finally sent to Anhan, the second charge had already been conquered, and Lu He had surrounded Li Ban in Langzhong.

When Tao Kan received the letter, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and said left and right: "The reason why General Zhen was awarded to my court this day is ......" Why is the barbarian's luck so good?

So there was no hesitation, that is, he led the main force to the west, first conquered Guanghan, resided Longquan Mountain and reached Mianzhu in the north, and confronted Li Shou again.

Let's say that Li Shou gave up Anhan, went west to Guanghan County, and ran all the way to Wucheng at the eastern foot of Longquan Mountain, intending to cross the mountain and rescue Chengdu, but he heard that Zhen Sui had taken Hande and did not continue south...... Li Xiongfang transferred soldiers and horses around Chengdu, pieced together more than 4,000 people, and sent the general Fei Heibei to guard Fu County, with Yu Zhen.

Li Shou was a little blind, and said in his heart that with the character of the legendary Zhen Sui, there was no reason not to go straight in, but to stop between the Sword Pavilion and Hande, what kind of tricks is this? But since there are no police in Chengdu, he abandoned the city and returned, so it is not a big reason to say that it is in the past. So he had to go up and ask the master for his guilt, and at the same time led his troops to Mianzhu to guard the north gate of Chengdu.

Theoretically, from the northeast to the southwest, after Zitong, you can enter the Chengdu Plain, there are only two places that can be guarded, one is the Fuxian on the east bank of Fushui, and the other is the Mianzhu at the northern foot of Longquan Mountain. There is Longmen Mountain in the east of Mianzhu, there is Longquan Mountain in the west, the two mountains are separated by a hundred miles, the city is in it, Li Shounai temporarily builds a fortress, corresponds to the horn of Mianzhu City, in order to wait for the Chinese army to come.

Longquan Mountain is also quite steep, although there is a trail in the mountain, it is not difficult to block, it is estimated that Tao Kan will not dare to break through. The main force of the Chinese army came from the east, and if they wanted to take Chengdu, they either went around to the north of the mountains to attack Mianzhu, or they went around to the south of the mountains to attack Nan'an - but from Wucheng to Nan'an, it was nearly 400 miles away, which was too far, and the grain road was long, which was not good for the army.

Of course, if Tao Kan really had the ability to take the risk of taking the southern road, Li Shou would be helpless - who told him to put the enemy into the plain?

However, Tao Kan was near Mianzhu, but he was not in a hurry to attack first, and after sending Zhou Fu to copy Fu County, he killed Fei Hei, and then joined Zhen Sui and Chen Jian with Yu Zitong - this is equivalent to completely opening up the North Road, which is convenient for transporting grain from the North Road. Immediately combined forces to attack Mianzhu, Li Shou knew that it was difficult to defend, and was forced to fight and go out of the city to start a fierce battle with the Chinese army in the area of Chizu, but in three days, he was defeated......

——————————

Besides, when the news that the Sword Pavilion had reached Luoyang, Pei Gai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "It's stable." ”

There is never a sure way to win the war, even if he sent to Hanzhong is the elite of the Chinese army, and Tao Kan is the commander, Zhen Sui, Lu He are the deputy generals, after all, the terrain is steep, and it is not convenient to transport grain......

Pei Gai even considered whether he could first settle Jingbei, take Xiangyang and Jiangling, and then build a boat in Jiangling, just like Huan Wen Dingshu in the original history, take a warship to go up the river, and copy Chengdu from the south road.

However, building boats and training sailors is not an overnight effort, and even if the ship is strong and the soldiers are strong, there are still Three Gorges in front of it...... Speaking of Huan Wen at that time, was Badong in the hands of the Eastern Jin Dynasty or in the hands of Cheng Han? I can't remember exactly...... Most of them were in the hands of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so he was able to march so smoothly, from the Min River to Tsing Yi.

This topic naturally came under the cardinal, and Guo Mo and others were ordered to plan in detail as a preparatory plan.

However, since you have been rewarded and have taken the Sword Pavilion, you don't have to think about it so much. As long as the Chinese army can enter the draw, it will have more than eighty percent chance of winning against the Di people. On the one hand, according to the evaluation of later generations, at the same time, Zhou Wan, Yang Hu, Tao Kan and others have competed with the Di army over the years, and they have repeatedly explained in the above performance that the quality of this Pakistani army is really not mentionable.

The Shu people were not very capable of fighting, and the Ba people were slightly stronger and limited, so Liu Bei was able to successfully capture Yizhou back then; As soon as Zhuge Liang failed out of Qishan, according to the record of "Han Jin Spring and Autumn Period", he himself said that "the army is more than thieves in Qishan and Keigu, and those who can't break the thieves are broken by thieves, then this disease is not in the few soldiers, but in the ears ......of one person."

What is "in one person"? It's not that the generals are incompetent-Miyama all the way, but the main general is Zhao Yun-but that the commander has not done enough for the training of the soldiers and Buhler. After Zhuge Liang accepted the lesson, he personally trained the soldiers and horses, so that during the last two Northern Expeditions, Sima Yi could only hold on to the village.

So is there still Zhuge Liang in Shu now? Tao Kan and others all reported, saying that the soldiers were brave and capable of fighting - because the main body was not the Shu people, but the displaced people who migrated south from Luoyang and other places - but the banners were not complete, the golden drums were not prepared, the queues were not in order, and the arrays were not neat, and they did not get rid of the habit of the armed people at all. When Tao Shixing was in Jingzhou, he often fought against this kind of homeless army, and the soldiers of Jing and Yang, who were also weak, could win many victories, not to mention that after he went around a big circle with the Central Plains, he returned to the south of the army of a hundred battles?

As long as there was a confrontation on the plains, including the attack on the cities on the plains, the Chinese army would not be defeated. If Tao Shixing can't take Chengdu, it is estimated that he will have to buy a piece of tofu to die in a head-butt.

Therefore, the Sword Pavilion is over, and the battle of Shu is equivalent to half of the completion, and the problem that the imperial court has to consider is no longer to change to attack Chengdu by another way, but how to take advantage of the victory to determine the full benefit, and then go down to Ningzhou.

Wang Xun is still holding on to Ningzhou, but he is a Jin official after all, not a Huachen, because the road is far away and blocked, and he has not been able to send an envoy to appease him before. If Wang Shaobo resolutely refuses to follow China and hooks up with Wang Dun and others, things will be more difficult......

Ningzhou is mostly southwestern and self-defending, and it is really difficult to completely calm down. For example, in the original history, although the Tang Dynasty was strong for a while, the southwest was independent of Nanzhao, and after Nanzhao was Dali, which was separated from the Central Plains Dynasty for 400 years.

Of course, it does not mean that as long as Wang Xun is willing to surrender, Ningzhou can be completely included in the palm of his hand, Zhuyi is nominally from Jin or from China, in fact, the power is still in his own hands, and the Central Plains Dynasty can only be restrained for the time being. How can this be solved? I'm afraid it won't happen overnight......

Pei Cai couldn't help but think, should I also seal a "King Ning" in Nanzhong? However, Taya was unwilling to be a feudal

It's just that after thinking about it like this, Han and Yue are just the same, and the Xia Kingdom across the Green Mountains is also unreliable...... Forget it, no one wants to go anyway.

At the beginning of the following year, there was finally good news from the northeast, Liu Yan successfully repelled the forces of the three Koreas, and completely restored Lelang and the two counties of the party. So on the one hand, Liu Shiren was summoned to the court to reward, and on the other hand, the court discussed and urged the king of Han to set off for the domain.

However, Pei Tong still didn't want to leave...... Now that he has the prestige of the vassal king, and then considers the vassal kingdom with high mountains and rivers, it is inevitable that he will sigh - the future of the vassal is dangerous, which is really terrifying, and it is a pity to let the lord retreat, or he does not dare. So he pleaded, saying that the place in the northeast was too cold, so it would be better to wait until the southeast wind rose in the summer, and then I would take a boat from Qingzhou, and it would not be too late.

Just waiting for a few more months, Pei should agree.

So Pei Tong visited his relatives and friends every day, and asked to recommend some talents to be royal officials and let him take them to the Korean Peninsula. The soldier said that Pei Gai had ordered the army to select the willing elite from the army, and promised to give him a thousand soldiers, and also to pardon prisoners who had committed serious crimes and did not deserve to die, and allocated another one or two thousand—to colonize the poor, but to use the most vicious. But without the right scholar to assist him, Pei Tong really doesn't have the confidence to manage a country of grass creation.

Even, he was forced to ask Dong Pei, saying that you are originally from Liaodong, so there are no sages in the counties of Pingzhou, so you can let me go to visit by the way?

After all, it is remote, and there are very few people who are willing to follow Pei Tong to the north - especially this autumn, there is another Taixue test, and many Shu people can also take the test and serve as small officials, so since there can be officials in the Central Plains, who is willing to go to the peninsula to deal with the barbarians. Pei Xingzhi had a headache, and went to Pei Gai to complain twice in three days, and asked for forgiveness, and let it be forgiven for a while.

Pei Gai asked him with a smile: "When you asked for a seal at the beginning of the trip, didn't you expect it to be like this?" ”

Pei Tong said angrily: "Your Majesty's merits, although it is beyond the Han Dynasty, there is no Zhang Qian in the world, and the ministers are depressed ......."

But what he didn't expect was that a capable person took the initiative to knock on the door and asked to serve as the minister of South Korea and go north with him.

Pei Tong was immediately startled, and asked: "Zi Cifang is an important minister of the Chinese Dynasty, and the high hopes of the Son of Hetian, why is he willing to retire as a royal official and travel from me to the wilderness?" Is it a joke? ”

That's right, the one who came to Mao Sui to recommend himself was the prince of Wang Gong, who was the prince of the cardinal candidate Shilang.

In response to Pei Tong's inquiry, Wang Gong explained with a smile: "The talent of tribute, the king knows it, but it is just a treacherous way and a conspiracy and secret scheme, which can be overturned in troubled times, but it is useless to govern the world." Although today's bottom is not decided, Bayi is also about to be destroyed, and the rest of the Jiangnan is not enough to take, so what can the Son of Heaven use for tribute? If the four seas are one, tribute is useless.

"It is to invite the king to return to the domain, to be wholeheartedly loyal, to plan a strategy for the king, to pacify Han Yi, and to show the strengths of his life. If the king refuses to accept it, then the tribute can only be paid when the king enters Jiankang, and he resigns and returns to Longmu, and from then on surrounds the woman and children, and finally dies on the Xi Zhen - this tribute is unwilling to ......"

Lala was miscellaneous, and explained for a long time around the corner, Pei Tong was not stupid after all, and quickly understood the subtext given by the prince.

Wang Gong felt that if the world was decided, he would be useless, only forty years old, whether it was a few years after that, a dozen or even decades, he could only have a meal with the court, or simply return to his hometown and live in seclusion, which was really meaningless, and he had to bear what he had learned in his life, so he hoped to follow Pei Tong to pacify Sanhan - this is of course reasonable, but it is by no means the real point.

The real point is that Wang Gong has been hiding in the shadows, and he has not only collected intelligence on the enemy before, but also secretly investigated the privacy of officials, so no one in the Manchu Dynasty likes him, and even warns of him, dislikes him, and rejects him - who knows if this guy has his own black materials in his hands? Even if he says no, I am now in the military department and am only responsible for the enemy's situation, so people will be convinced.

This kind of secret work has never been hated by hundreds of officials, but also by the jealousy of the Son of Heaven - Pei Shu does not have this problem, he is not only a clan, but also accustomed to standing in the open ground - the world is undecided, the Son of Heaven naturally places heavy responsibilities, if the world is decided, at least half of the probability is to hide the bow of the bird, or even cook the rabbit dead dog!

Even if the Son of Heaven is benevolent, he can't afford to be attacked by hundreds of officials either openly or secretly, it is really "pointed out by thousands of people, and he will die without illness". He also wants to stand aside steadily, gradually fade out of people's sight, or go back to his hometown to farm, where is there such a cheap thing!

In this case, it is better to simply leave China and North Korea, jump out of the circle of right and wrong, and go to South Korea to serve as the prime minister. With Pei Tong's ability, most of them are a weak monarch, and they must rely on the ability of the king's tribute, so his prince will be guaranteed for the rest of his life.

If you are in China and North Korea, even if you don't die, you must clamp your tail and be a person to death; And to Sanhan, it is expected that the power is in hand, and the great ambition is great, the two are compared, where to go, how can Wang Gong, such a smart person, not make a suitable choice?

Pei Tong figured this out, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately took Wang Gong's hand and said: "If I return to Han, I should share his country with Zici, and I hope that Zici will teach me hesitantly!" "Immediately wrote a book, please order Wang Gong to be the minister of South Korea, Pei should agree.

However, a few days later, Pei Xuan suddenly came to Pei Tong and said to him: "Brother Wen Xian, please take Wang Gong as your face?" I think it's inappropriate......"
