Chapter 36: No Answer

Zhou Shida naturally used a trick to deceive his death - but he really had almost no way out, so he had to take such a risk and try to get lucky.

On the same day, Tao Zhan sent news from Xiangyang, saying that Wang Dun sent troops to cut off the transportation route, and Zhou Yu was furious and angry, and indeed vomited blood and fainted because of this. But after waking up, he secretly instructed Zhou Fu and others, asking them to pretend to mourn and look for an opportunity to retreat, so as to lure the enemy to chase them.

The reason why Zhou Fu acted as the main general and attacked gold for two days in a row was that the news of the fraudulent death was indeed detected by the enemy - with the general level of intelligence work at that time, it was impossible to design it here, and Li Ban knew it, so once the army was quickly withdrawn, the Cheng army could not react at all, how could it chase it?

Second, it is to make a fake show and make it real, so as to strengthen the confusion of the enemy army. Zhou visit to take care of Zhou Fu, you can storm for two more days, if you can overcome the base, it is naturally the best, if you can't, you will return to the division in two days, only in this way, the army may dare to chase. Sure enough, they deceived Li Ban, Li Shou, Yang Hu and others, and in their minds, if they were cheating to death, then why bother to attack the fortress again? Could it be that Zhou Shida hid from his subordinates just to achieve the effect of "mourning soldiers will win"? Outrageous!

Only Wang Da almost instinctively sensed that something was wrong, but he was also puzzled and difficult to decide because of this, so with his wisdom, when persuading Li Shou, Yang Hu and the others not to rush to pursue, it was impossible to talk as eloquently as before, analyze the situation, and speak without weight. Because of this, Yang Hu did not listen to the general's orders, and personally led the army out of the base to chase and kill the Jin army.

Because Yang Hu definitely didn't want to see Shiquan, the gateway to the east of Hanzhong, held in the hands of the Jin people for a long time, it would be too much of a threat to his rule in Hanzhong.

Zhou Wan retreated to gold, set up an ambush and waited, saying that if the enemy chases, I can hope for a big victory, in case the enemy does not chase, then there is no way, I can only go back to Xiangyang, to fight with the Wang brothers. The food stored in the army is still enough to eat for ten days, as long as he returns to the army quickly, Zhou Shida thinks that he will open the passage and defeat Wang Xuan should not be embarrassed.

As for whether he will be regarded as a rebel because of this, at this time of life and death, I really can't care about it. The last resort of Zhou's visit was to send people north to contact Tao Kan, hoping that Tao Shixing could argue a few words for himself in front of Pei Da Sima, go to the court, and reduce his guilt - the worst of all, he would also shoulder the guilt by himself, so that Zhou Fu, Tao Zhan and others would not be stained with any stains. After all, Tao Zhan is the son of Tao Kan, and I believe that Pei Dasima and even the imperial court will most likely sell him this face.

Fortunately, there was no need to make the last move, Yang Hu really led the army to chase, when even if he fell into the ambush circle of the Jin army, in just one meal of battle, most of the Hanzhong army was annihilated, leaving only Yang Hu and his cronies two or three hundred people, deep encirclement, difficult to get out. When Zhou Yu came to the front in person, Yang Hu's heart defense completely collapsed, and he was forced to surrender, and expressed his willingness to open the gold and lead the Jin army into Hanzhong. So Zhou Wan ordered the elite Jin soldiers to disguise themselves as defeated soldiers in Hanzhong, and coerced Yang Hu to go straight to the gold......

In fact, the Cheng army still occupied seven fortresses near the gold, and there were still several battalions on the west side, and the total strength was nearly twice that of the Jin army. But it's a pity that the organization is too poor, as soon as they heard that the Jin people have entered the gold, the main general Li Ban and others took the lead in abandoning the base and fled, and the generals and schools of the base were all frightened, and they couldn't communicate with each other, so they collapsed one after another. Li Ban and the others originally wanted to resist the bases one by one in order to find an opportunity to counterattack, who wanted to come out of the gold and enter the first base, empty, and then enter the first base, it was still empty...... I was forced not to dare to stop, and fled twenty or thirty miles in one go.

Immediately, Zhou visited the town of gold, and sent Zhou Fu, Yang Hu and others to lead troops to chase and kill the army. A short distance west from the gold, it enters the Hanzhong Basin, and except for a few cities that are in the main transportation routes, there is almost no danger to defend. Yang Hu hurriedly sent his troops to gallop to the cities, asking them to hold their weapons and guard them, and not to let a single soldier enter, so that the Jin army would be handed over after it arrived, so Li Ban and the others had nothing to rely on, and were forced to turn back, just on the plain, and fought with the Jin army again.

Although the number of Cheng troops was large, the poor organization, coupled with the loss of gold, caused the morale to almost drop to the bottom, so the two sides fought nine fierce battles in three days, each time the Cheng army was defeated. Wang Da said that this could not be done - "If our army is completely lost here, Jin Kou can take advantage of the victory to go south, and even threaten Chengdu!" For the sake of today's plan, I had to give up Hanzhong......"

So the Cheng army escaped from Hanzhong one after another, Li Ban retreated to Brazil, Li Shouxi guarded Zitong, and the deep ditch was high to prevent the Jin people from chasing. Zhou Yu led his troops, and under the leadership of Yang Hu, he successfully entered Nanzheng City, and then controlled the entire Hanzhong County.

When entering Nanzheng, Yang Hu ordered all the people in the city to come out, burn incense and toast, and worship the side of the road. Zhou Shida was high-spirited and rode into the city gate, but suddenly he felt that it was dark in front of him, and his body couldn't help shaking......

Zhou Fu was beside him, keeping an eye on his father's condition at all times - because it was true that his father vomited blood that day, and then he was mentally exhausted and his diet was tasteless, so he could only make a strategy and put the military power in his hands, which was also true - Seeing this, he hurriedly leaned over and stretched out his hand to help. I heard Zhou Yu seem to be talking to himself: "I'm exhausted...... Vested Long, how dare you look back at Shuhu? ”

——————————

Zhou Yu did not have the strength to attack Sanba and Zitong again, and to restore Liangzhou in full, let alone forge ahead in Yizhou. That's why he entered Nanzheng, so he sent people to Xiangyang and summoned Tao Zhan and others to lead the army to join - I don't want Jingzhou, let it be given to you Wang rats.

Of course, rushing to the court, impeaching the Wang Dun brothers for deliberately creating friction, and even cutting off the food supply of friendly troops, that is also the meaning of the question, and it is impossible for him to let go of the Langya Wang clan easily.

However, the Jin army was unable to continue to advance, and Ba Yi did not know about this matter, and the news of defeat reached Chengdu, and Li Xiongjun's ministers were all as pale as earth. Li Shi took the opportunity to propose another demote, but was stopped by Ren Hui. On the one hand, he dispatched troops and horses, guarded the Sword Pavilion and other key points, and prevented the Jin army from taking advantage of the victory to drive straight in, and at the same time sent Luoyang to deal with the Jin court - don't mention the surrender first, but we can lower our posture a little bit to see the movements of the Jin people.

It stands to reason that when the envoy goes to the capital of another country, it is impossible to just say it with his mouth, but he must carry the national letter, but in order to avoid irritating the Jin people, Li Xiong did not sign the official document himself, but wrote in the tone of his uncle Li Xiang, and finally signed Li Xiang's name. Li Xiang called himself a "foreign minister of Yizhou", but as for whether the official master of this foreign minister was a thorn history, a vassal king, or an emperor, he simply kept silent.

The content of the letter is to say that we were originally Jin people, moved from Luoyang to Shuzhong, in order to avoid war, so we were forced to temporarily live in Shu, which is really no threat to the imperial court, I don't know why the imperial court wants to send a general, come to kill me? Now that the great enemy of the imperial court is still in the north, it should go all out to attack Hu and Qian, restore the homeland, and devote itself to peace in the world. Foreign minister Li Xiang is willing to send envoys every year and pay tribute every year, just begging the court not to harm the big because of the small and self-inflicted strength......

The envoy came to Luoyang and met with Emperor Sima Ye of the Jin Dynasty, Sima Ye convened his ministers to discuss, and Liang Fen and others suggested that they could take this opportunity to issue an edict ordering Li Xiong to remove the honorific title, and then seal him a thorn history, a general, and even a vassal king, in order to restrain him - of course, you have to spit it out to me in Badong County quickly.

However, Shang Shuzuna opposed this suggestion, and he only put forward two words, that is, - "no answer".

- Zu Na Zu Shiyan arrived in Luoyang just half a month ago, and was immediately appointed as a scholar, squeezing out his brother Zu Yue.

Let's say that on that day, Liang Fen and Zu Yue each sent envoys to the south to Jiankang, the former to urge Zuna to enlist, and the latter to prevent Zuna from going to the road. After all, Mei Tao and Zhong Ya sent by Liang Fen were one step faster, on the one hand, through Liu Kui, they went to open Sima Rui's joints and asked Sima Rui to release them, and on the other hand, the two relied on their friendship and went directly to the door to lobby Zuna.

first described how the ancestor was arrogant and domineering in the court, oppressing his colleagues, etc., and then they persuaded: "The court really has no intention of weakening the ancestral family, so if you want to go to the scholars, you should first recruit the scholars." Let the younger brother be the minister of the imperial court, break the Hu outside and govern the inside, the merit is high, the world looks up, but I am afraid that my life's work will be defeated by the scholars. Shiyan is loyal and kind, and when he goes to Luoyang, he will be able to bridge the relationship between the ancestral family and the hundred bureaucrats, and protect the family, and if he allows the young man to act recklessly, he is afraid that the whole clan will be affected.

"For example, the karma of Ze and Shi is defeated because of production and Lu, isn't it a pity?"

In the end, the "Ze and Shi" refer to the two brothers of the early Han Dynasty and Lu Hou, Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi, both of whom were Han generals, assisted Gaozu, determined the world, and were crowned marquis because of their merits; The "production and Lu" refers to Lu Ze's son Lu Chan and Lu Shizhi's son Lu Lu, who are the heads of the kings surnamed Lu, but because of their unauthorized power and even suspicion of usurping the throne, they were finally killed by Zhou Bo and Chen Ping.

The Lu family could have been good at assisting the Liu family, and they had been famous for generations, but because of so many bastards and losers, they fell in one day, which is a lesson from the past. Today's ancestral covenant is as unbearable as Lu Chan and Lu Lu, so as an elder brother, don't you want to stand up and save the family, so that something unbearable will happen in the future?

Zu Na was still hesitating, and news came from Liu Kui's side, saying that he had already made sense of King Danyang and was willing to let him go north. Only then did he finally make up his mind, and then Zu Yue sent someone to deliver a letter, but Zu Na simply didn't dismantle it, and burned it on the fire.

Mei Tao and Zhong Ya completed their tasks, set off and turned back, and met Wang Zhuo who was touring the mountains and rivers on the way, one step at a time, and said It's okay, you can speed up. Wang Zhuo immediately rushed to Jiankang, read out the book, and Zu accepted the edict, but returned to Luoyang with Wang Zhuo and accepted the appointment of Shangshu.

For this time Cheng Han came to envoy, Zu Yue suggested "not answering", and the reason he gave was:

As Li Xiang said in his book, the great enemies of the country are still Hu and Qian, and it is not suitable to use troops in the southwest for the time being. However, if you ask for Badong, I am afraid that Li Xiong will not obey his orders, and if he wants to remove the honorific title, it will not be what he wants - otherwise, why not go to the honorific title first, and call him a minister, but let Li Xiang write a book? Once the envoys come and go, the respect is folded, and if there is a discord, the share of the enemy country is established, and the court is not easy to be caught off guard. And this week, Shida has won Hanzhong, and threatens Yizhou from other counties, and its momentum is better than that of Padang, so why force it to take back Badong?

"Ba Yi, a thief, and a pretending to be an honorific title, if the court answers, who is better under the book? If Li Xiang is down, Li Xiong can take the opportunity to perfunctory; If Li Xiong is lowered, will the people of the world think that the country has been relieved of his previous sins?

"Rather than being like this, it is easy to redouble his rebellion if he wants to be restrained, so it is better not to answer. For example, if two people fight, if they are aggressive, I should fight back; If I have seen a decline and seek a temporary retreat in vain, I can show it coldly and not talk to him, but it will make him unpredictable and dare not act rashly. ”

In fact, not long before that, Liu Cang also sent a letter to Luoyang, asking the Jin army to suspend the offensive, so that he could fight with the traitor Liu Yao, promising that after returning to Pingyang, he would send back the bones of Emperor Sima Chi. Liang Fen and others all said that the rebellion against Hu was beneficial to me, and I could promise Liu Cang, Zu Na Shi Fang to perform his duties, and make suggestions, which were also the same two words: "Don't answer." ”

He said that we can restrain the soldiers and horses in Hanoi and Hedong, and do not press Liu Cang for the time being, and let him go back to fight Liu Yao, but we cannot give a clear answer, otherwise it will be tantamount to admitting that the Pingyang regime is on an equal footing with our Jin and is an enemy country. And as long as we don't reply, we can change the resolution at any time in response to the situation in the future.

- Because of these two "do not answer", Zuna was later jokingly called "not answering Shangshu".

Zu Yu has always respected this brother, and unlike Zu Yue - Zu Yue is more disgusted with this half-brother than love, more afraid than respectful - he thinks that when it comes to fighting in arms, he may have a long day, and if he is in power and coordinates everything, Zu Na is more capable. Therefore, when he heard that Zuna was reasonable, he immediately arose and agreed.

As for Liang Fen, Xun Song and others, they mainly think that we have just rejected Zu Yue, and made Zu Na replace him, and Zu Shiyan has just arrived, so it's not good to give him a dismount immediately, right? How much do you have to sell him a little bit of face and show respect, so as not to drive him to the first end of Zuyue - if Zuna is forced to become the second of Zuyue, then why do we work so hard?

Anyway, it's just diplomacy, a small problem, if you don't win the house and don't win the land, you will temporarily follow Zuna, and it doesn't matter what?

So he pretended to say a few words, and then took a step back and followed what Zuna said. The Luoyang Imperial Court turned a deaf ear to the letters from Liu Cang and Li Xiang, and never expressed its position, but just treated the envoys and sent them back.

Immediately, Wang Dun and Zhou visited each other, attacking each other, and all the ministers visited Zhou on the right and Wang Dun on the left - although the specific situation has not yet been investigated, it is difficult to know the merits, but Zhou Shida has just won Hanzhong, and he has made such a great achievement, even if it is a little wrong, it can be vaguely ignored; On the contrary, it is Wang Chuzhong, who can't first aid Badong, and then can't capture Shudi, and only met with Ba Di in a battle, although Yun Dajie (of course it's a lie), but he can't get an inch of land, so what face do you have to impeach Zhou Wan?

Zu Ti said that he should issue an edict to blame Wang Dun, but he was blocked by Xun Group, Liang Fen and others, thinking that Wang Chuzhong was crisscrossing the river and protecting the south, and when the imperial court was still unable to look south, it was really not appropriate to be too persecutive. Besides, since the king of Danyang was ordered to be the head of the Jiangnan military, then he had to say hello to Sima Rui first to punish Wang Dun.

In the end, it was decided to reward Zhou Yuan, add the title of Marquis of Xunyang County, worship as the general of Zhengxi, allow his second son Mengyin, and the meritorious generals under his command will be rewarded. As for Wang Dun, ignore it for the time being.
