Chapter 3, from Wuchang to Jinyang

Qian Feng offered advice to Wang Dun and said: "The former Wang Shao Bo sent an envoy to pay homage to the Ming Duke and ask for the help of the soldiers to fight against the thieves, does the Ming Duke still remember?" ”

Wang Shaobo is Wang Xun, a native of Wei Xing, who was the captain of Nanyi and the assassin of Ningzhou.

The so-called Ningzhou, roughly the so-called "Nanzhong" land in the Han Dynasty, governed the four counties of Yongchang, Yunnan, Jianning, and Xinggu, just west of Guangzhou and south of Yizhou - and was originally separated from Yizhou. After Ba Yi Li Xiong basically occupied Yizhou and advanced into Liangzhou, he wanted to follow Zhuge Liang's old wisdom, first conquer Nanzhong, appease the back road, and loot more supplies from the Yi people for further expansion.

The foreign tribes in the land of Ningzhou, collectively known as Southwest Yi, were instigated by Ba Yi in the last years of Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty and openly set off an anti-flag. It was also just in time for the great wilderness in Ningzhou, and the epidemic was even more epidemic, and the number of people who died of starvation and disease reached 100,000.

At that time, many officials and people fled south to Jiaozhou, but Li Yi, the assassin of Ningzhou, refused to leave and defended Dianchi City. He wrote to the court for help, saying: "The minister cannot stop the abuse, sit back and wait to die." If you don't show mercy, beg the ambassador, and the ministers still exist, and the ministers will be restored; If the minister is dead, the corpse is killed. "It's a pity that the Central Plains is in turmoil at this time, who can take care of the distant Ningzhou.

In the end, Li Yi fell ill and died in the besieged city. At that time, his son Li Zhao was on the way to Luoyang for help, the mountains were high and the water was long, and the life and death were unknown, so the military and civilians supported Li Yi's daughter as the main and continued to defend Dianchi City - this woman was later respected as a god by the local people, and the Sui Dynasty gave Mrs. Zhenjing; The Tang Dynasty gave the title of Mrs. Jing Minghui. It wasn't until Li Zhao returned empty-handed that he took over the burden on his sister's shoulders.

In the fourth year of Yongjia, Emperor Huai finally appointed Wang Xun to take over as the assassin of Ningzhou. Wang Shaobo walked for a whole year, before arriving in Dianchi, as soon as he took office, he immediately inspired the people, defeated the rebels, and then killed the officials who refused to obey their orders, and the clan wiped out dozens of rebellious wealthy families in the state, which basically stabilized the situation in Ningzhou. However, at this time, Li Xiong had settled on all of Shu and began to officially extend his claws to Ningzhou...... Wang Xun was forced to send the Central Plains again to ask for reinforcements.

Of course, he also knew that the Central Plains was troubled, and the road was far away, so it was pure wishful thinking to be able to send two officials over to the sky, and to ask for reinforcements from soldiers and horses. So the envoy first went to Jiangzhou to pay homage to Wang Dun, and then Wang Dun sent someone to Jiankang - in any case, the neighboring Jing, Hunan, Jiao, and Guangzhou, are now the king of Danyang, and Wang Zhendong is in charge of the army.

Qian Feng proposed to Wang Dun about this, saying that he could use the order of the courtβ€”note that it was the order of the dynasty and not the order of the king of Danyangβ€”and ordered Zhou Wan to lead his army south to reinforce Wang Xun of Ningzhou. He said: "Zhou Shida and Ming Gong have a gap, if the king of Danyang orders, I am afraid that he will not obey, but he can make the king play Luoyang and ask himself to send troops to save Ningzhou, then if the court has a decree, how dare Zhou Shida disobey?" ”

Wang Dun groaned: "Zhou Shida is unruly, and in Xiangyang, it is not very close to Ningzhou. If he wants to make me go to Ningzhou, what should I do? "Wuchang and Xiangyang are not too far away from Ningzhou, and more importantly, the nearest Xiangzhou and even Jiaozhou and Guangzhou, are now under the orders of his general, if you say: You don't send nearby soldiers and horses to help, but want to mobilize my Jingzhou soldiers, what is your intention? I'm not going! So what to do?

Qian Feng smiled: "I also expected this, but there are two strategies. ”

He said that the first strategy was to let the imperial court directly name Zhou to visit - "Now Pei and Zu Ergong are in power, and it is not easy to use the ruined Henan and Guanzhong to calm the Hu atmosphere." If the Ming Duke can lose the grain, he will feel the public morality, and he can find the opportunity to fight, and the Jiangnan can fight, no more than Zhou Shida, and he should be sent to save Ningzhou......"

Wang Dun frowned and asked: "It's not difficult to go to Sui Jing and Yang to be quite familiar, and to supply 120,000 grains to the north...... But when it should be offered to Luoyang, or Chang'an? ”

Qian Feng replied: "The Son of Heaven is in Luo, so he will naturally supply Luoyang." And please go out of Luoyang, stay in Taiwan in Chang'an, and only lead the western affairs, what do you have to do with me? ”

Wang Dun thought for a while, and then asked, "What is the second strategy?" ”

Qian Feng smiled secretly in his heart, knowing that what he just said "Jiangnan can fight no more than Zhou Shida", it probably stimulated Wang Dun. So he paused, and made two more strategies: "If Zhou Shida refuses to obey his orders, Ming Gong can play the Danyang Wang ......" This time you can go through the imperial court - "Yunning Prefecture is remote, and it is difficult to defend if there is a small army, and it is difficult to transport if there is a lot of troops, but Bayi is in Shu, and the difficulty of Ningzhou will never be solved." It is possible to send troops up the river to attack Shuzhong, and this plan to save Zhao from Wei is also. ”

Without waiting for Wang Dun to ponder carefully, he asked rhetorically: "Does Duke Ming know how Liu Bei advanced into Bashu in the past?" ”

Wang Dun is not a big man who doesn't study, besides, the matter of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty is not far away, how could he not know? But when he heard Qian Feng asking, he knew that there must be a rhetoric, so he didn't say much, but said: "Please explain the details." ”

Qian Feng replied: "In the past, Liu Zhang was in Shu, and he was afraid that Wei Wu would summon the generals of Guanzhong to take Hanzhong and threaten Shu, so he used Zhang Songmou to ask Liu Bei to go west to attack Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. When he was in Jingzhou, he led the army up the river, passing through Badong and Bajun to Fu, and had a meeting with Liu Zhang. Zhang's capital provided 200,000 meters, and countless cars and horses to benefit Liu Beijun, so that he could go north to Jiameng. However, it is necessary to be kind to Jia Meng, not to ask for Lu, and the two Liu broke up.

"Liu Bei went south, and the troops were in Mianzhu, and it was difficult to advance an inch, so he summoned Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others from Jingzhou to merge, trace the flow of Emperor Bai, Jiangzhou, and Jiangyang, and the two sides attacked, Liu Zhang was defeated and retreated to Chengdu ......"

The more Wang Dun listened, the more he frowned, he couldn't help it, interrupted Qian Feng's words, and asked him: "I heard that Liu Bei was reinforced by Zhuge Liang, and he also attacked Yu for nearly a year before he was trapped, and his army Pang Tong was also killed in the battle, which is difficult to take in Shu." Zeqing wants me to take Shu, so why did you come? "I haven't heard anything special say from you, so what do you really mean? Stop going around in circles, just get straight to the point.

Qian Feng said: "Ming Gong can know that the first person who wants to take Shu is not Liu Bei, but Zhou Yu, but Liu Bei is hindered. Zhou Yu's intention, if he can get both Jing and Yang, annex Liang and Yi, and connect them together, then the danger of mountains and rivers is enough to confront the Central Plains. If the Ming Gong can destroy Bayi in the west in the name of rescuing Ningzhou, and get the land of Shu, it will become a firm and unshakable trend, whether it is Luoyang, Chang'an, or Jiankang, there is no control.

"Ming Gong is worried that Shu is not easy to take, although, how can it be easy to fight and fight? If you don't enter despite the difficulties, the mountains will never be overcome, and the water will never be crossed; The only wine woman in the world is not a difficult thing to take. Liu Bei entered Shu, because of Liu Zhang's call, and then Zhuge Liang entered Shu, traced the river upstream, and moved forward, Ming Gong is not as good as Zhuge Hu?

"In the past, Liu Bei was only in the land of Jingzhou and Banzhou, Sun Quan was in the east, and every constraint could still make Guan Yu stay in the town, and the army went west; Now the Ming Duke owns the land, the household registration, twice as much as Liu Bei, boats, soldiers and horses are also over, although Jiankang has Diao, Liu Zai, if Zhang Dayi banner, he does not dare to hinder each other, so the minister thinks that Bayi is not difficult to attack, Shuzhong is not difficult to take.

"And with this grandiose righteousness, it can be urged to take the lead in Zhou Shida - Biben is close to Badi, and he is also the governor of the three states, so naturally there is no excuse......"

Last year, Liu Kui entered Chang'an, discussed with Pei Gai, and wanted to make Zhou visit to oppose Wang Dun, so he issued an edict to appoint Zhou Wan as the assassin of Jingzhou, and to supervise the military of Jing, Hunan and Yi. Zhou visited the above table, asked for resignation as assassin of history, but took over the governor of the three states. It is estimated that although he is evil Wang Dun, he has a good relationship with Wang Xuan, and he is not embarrassed to take his own generation - Wang Shijiang was driven away less than a year after entering the state, which is too embarrassing. As for the governor of the three states, he can nominally mobilize the soldiers and horses of Jing and Hunan states, which happens to be named this honorific name, especially for disgusting Wang Dun.

It's just that Zhou Visiting actually can't control Xiangzhou, and the court ordered Ying Zhan to be the assassin of Xiangzhou, Ying Siyuan's attitude is very ambiguous, on the surface he respects Wang Dun, and based on the fact that everyone is a northerner and an overseas Chinese (Ying Zhan is a native of Runan Nanton, and although Zhou Visit's ancestral home is Ancheng, Runan, he has moved to Lujiang four years ago, and his grandfather Zhou Sushi Wu is a general, so he is regarded as a southerner), Wang Dun naturally thinks that Ying Zhan is with him.

Therefore, Qian Fengcai said that since Zhou visited the capital of Yizhou Military, it is justified to order him to enter Shu - "If Shida goes, Ming Gong can join the name of the future and enter Jingxiang; If Shida is defeated, the Ming Duke can take the order of the governor, take his soldiers and behead him; If Shida wins, the Ming Duke will follow, and Bashu will be at his fingertips - the Duke is the governor of the six states, the commander of Shu, and the meritorious service, how can Shida be matched? ”

Qian Feng's plan has two intentions, the first is to let Zhou Wan go to Shu first, then he can naturally be blasted out of Jingzhou. If Zhou's visit failed, Wang Dun just cleaned him up; Even if he wins, the lion's share of Dingshu's credit is also Wang Dun's, and Zhou's visit is just a precursor, only the execution of the merit, not the leadership of the merit. As for the second layer of intentions: If you win the honor of Dingshu and then connect the Yangtze River up and down, will anyone be able to regret your power?

At the end, he said one more sentence: "Today, Luoyang and Chang'an, the combined forces are fighting against Pingyang and Xiangguo, and the number of victories and defeats is unpredictable." However, if Jiangnan can be stabilized and Bashu can be obtained, it is a firm and unbreakable alliance between Liu Bei and Sun Quan, even if Wei Wu is in the Central Plains, he may not be able to cross the Yangtze River and finally be defeated in Chibi! ”

Let all the forces in the Central Plains fight to the death, who wins and who loses in the end, as long as we can take the land of Bashu, it is enough to divide the river and rule, and the north and south stand side by side. At that time, you will be the first person in Jiangnan to establish the Ming Gong, who established the great martial arts!

Wang Dun was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately made a decision: "The first policy that Shiyi said, I can't take it; This second strategy is really a wonderful idea, no less than Longzhong's countermeasures! "Originally, I listened to your first policy, which is not very reliable, can Zhou Yu really be led by my nose and go all the way to save Ningzhou? I didn't expect that the interlocking, as well as this second strategy, was really like seeing the sun through the clouds, and it broadened my horizons all of a sudden!

So he stroked Qian Feng's back and said, "Liu Bei Laoge, take things according to the situation, how might I as well do it?" Ran Qing is really my Zhuge Liang! ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

When Wang Dun was rejoicing in Wuchang, in Jinyang City, thousands of miles away, Shi Hu was in full bloom.

He originally summoned the generals to discuss the matter of waving his army south at Liu Can's requestβ€”Liu Cang hoped that Shi Hu would also send a force of troops and horses to Caisangjin and cross the river to harass the Jin peopleβ€”but before leaving, he had to behead a man to sacrifice the flag.

At this time, the unlucky guy who was selected was kneeling in front of Shi Hu's case, bowing his head and pleading. Shi Hu held a plate in his hand and shouted: "If you don't have a relationship with Pingyang, why does Liu Cang give you a prominent position?!" ”

The general who knelt down defended: "Since our army has broken Liu Kun and captured the state, it is also an ordinary thing for the court to reward the famous man, and the last general really has no intention of going to the court, but from the outside of Zhao Gong's intentions." Let's not talk about this position, the last general did not receive it, and the former imperial court worshiped the general as the general of Zhengbei and the county prince of Shangdang, and the general did not ......"

Shi Hu "snapped", slapped the version on several cases, interrupted the other party's words, and shouted: "How dare you compare with me?!" This seal of the general of the expedition to the north was originally requested by Zhao Gonggu, and the imperial court was willing to grant it, and I guarded and annexed the state for Zhao Gong, if there is no obvious name, how can I convince people? You are just a partial general, Pingyang actually awarded you the number of the fourth general, if you have not secretly passed the song, who can believe it?! ”

That will be firmly denied, saying that I have never taken the initiative to contact Pingyang - "The imperial court has rewarded officials and knights, and all the monarchs here are afraid that they have all ......"

Shi Huyou looked around and sneered: "Oh, all the gentlemen here, have you really received a reward from Pingyang?" ”

The generals Wu Yu, Zhang Si, Guo Rong, etc., who joined the army Xu Guang, Chao Zan, Guo Yin, etc., looked at each other when they heard this, and then hung their heads down, and no one dared to talk. Because Pingyang did send them books one after another, clearly trying to win over everyone, but when Shi Hu was angry, who would dare to admit it? So outright denial? It's not quite a good fit...... This is not a secret in the army, if everyone has received a book, you don't, what does it mean? Even the court looks down on you, so can you still hold your head up in front of people from now on?

Simply, the big guys are pretending to be dumb.

Their attitude was not unexpected by Shi Hu, and he immediately snorted coldly and glared at the kneeling general: "You still dare to slander everyone, it is really hateful!" "Don't talk nonsense, immediately waved his hand, and ordered the person to be dragged out and beheaded.

It didn't take long for the bloody head to be presented in front of Shi Hu's case. Shi Hu stared at the dead man for a long time, looked up and down, and then suddenly asked everyone: "Is the court treating you well, or is Zhao Gong treating you well?" ”

The generals didn't dare to pretend to be dumb anymore, and they all bowed their hands and said: "We are all ministers of Zhao Gong, what favor does the court have for me?" ”

Shi Hu said that this is right, and stretched out his hand to compare: "If from the imperial court, King Bohai (Liu Fu) died in the battle of Yanshi, and the former army of Huyan (Huyan Yan) drowned in Qilijian, first lost Henan, and then lost Guanzhong, and collapsed for thousands of miles; Only from Zhao Gong, Dinghebei, into Youyan, over Taihang, take Jinyang, you and other riches, all given by Zhao Gong - Hugh wants lard to cover his heart, and he thinks about it! ”

All the people bowed to their heads. Shi Hu said again: "There is a secret book to ...... from this time" turned his head to look at Xu Guang, who joined the army: "How do you say it in the book?" Mr. Xu can inform you. ”

Xu Guang nodded, and then said concisely: "In the book: Today, Zhao Gong is fighting hard, and there are three states, and it is gradually becoming a strong lord and a weak minister, so there will be a person who will be sick in Pingyang." Recently, he investigated and left the generals one after another, and made the official Xu Jue, so that the rebel Zhao Duke ......"

Halfway through the words, Shi Hu slammed the case again, and said loudly: "Liu Cang's own family is not successful, he is jealous and hates my uncle and nephew, and wants to instigate you and others to rebel, if I know......" Pointing to the head that was tilted to the side - "This fang is the end!" Then he patted his chest and said: "I am only a minister of Duke Zhao, even if Duke Zhao is a courtier of his Han Kingdom, I only obey the orders of Duke Zhao, and do not obey the orders of Pingyang!" Thou shalt also remember that it is me who is left and right, and if you dare to take ten steps from my side, I will kill him!" ”

Everyone didn't dare. Xu Guang took the opportunity to cautiously change the topic: "In this way, there is an edict in Pingyang, ordering the general to wave his army to the south to flank Guanzhong, and the general will not go?" ”

Shi Hu raised his eyebrows, suddenly laughed, and said, "Go, why don't you go?" Since Pingyang has a fate, I should personally lead the army to the south......" pointed at Guo Rong: "You can go first, declare my will, and order the prefectures and counties along the way to supply grain and straw materials, and do not neglect." ”
