Chapter Eighty-Eight: The hearts of the people are lost, and the people rebel and leave
When Wei Yan arrived in Langzhong with 6,000 elite soldiers escorting the grain and grass in Hanzhong according to Pang Tong's explanation at that time, he was warmly welcomed by the soldiers of the Langzhong battalion, which made Wei Yan feel a little unreal, and there would be no fraud, right?
When Wei Yan led the army to escort the grain and grass into the Langzhong camp, he knew the real reason, Pang Tong took away 20,000 soldiers and horses, but took away nearly half of the grain and grass in the camp, and the rest of the grain and grass, if Wei Yan hadn't come in time, I am afraid that the Langzhong camp would face the dilemma of having no food available.

After learning the truth, Wei Yan was a little helpless, and he gritted his teeth a little, this Pang Tong is too crazy, if he is slower, more than half of the 100,000 troops that he finally subdued will have to be abolished, who is the general?
"Does that Shiyuan have any explanation?" Wei Yan looked at Deng Xiandao, who looked helpless.
"He asked you to take the main force to Chengdu to join him." Deng Xian smiled bitterly.
There is also a deep meaning in this, Pang Tong took away most of the grain and grass, after Wei Yan came over, he would inevitably be warmly welcomed by the soldiers of the Langzhong battalion, invisibly, he could also help Wei Yan establish military prestige, and after working with Pang Tong for so long, Wei Yan could still figure out some of his thoughts about this partner.
"Then without further ado, all the generals will gather their troops and horses and go with me." Wei Yan nodded, the soldiers were very fast, on this point, he and Pang Tong had the same opinion.
"This ......" Deng Xian was stunned, looked at the army behind Wei Yan, and hesitated: "It's okay for the last general to wait, but these soldiers don't need to rest?" ”
"Haha, General Deng is too worried." Wei Yan glanced at the soldiers behind him, and said with a proud smile: "Every one of my Guanzhong soldiers has undergone rigorous training, and it is just a continuous march, so it doesn't matter." ”
"The last general commands." When Deng Xian heard this, he no longer persuaded him, anyway, the 80,000 troops left behind were already ready and ready to go out at any time.
Even so, but it still took half a day from the whole army to the expedition, the Shu army has been peaceful for a long time, and naturally it cannot be so well-trained with the Guanzhong army, and the action is like the wind, these Shu troops are more engaged in agriculture when there is no war, and it is good to be able to train for two or three months a year, but the Guanzhong army is a professional army, and it is not training all year round, or going out to perform tasks in turns, whether it is actual combat or military literacy, it is more than twice as strong as the Shu army.
Originally, Wei Yan thought that there were many checkpoints on this road, and at least he could delay Pang Tong a little, so that he could lead the army to join Pang Tong, but the result still disappointed him, marching from Langzhong to Mianzhu Pass, all the cities passing by had been replaced with Lu Bu's banner, which gave Wei Yan the illusion of marching in his own territory.
How many sins has this Liu Zhang created? Unexpectedly, the officers and officials of Shuzhong did not reject their outsiders in the slightest, but rushed to express their goodwill!
In the end, Wei Yan simply let go, speeding up the march all the way, and when he arrived at the Chengdu Plain with his men and horses, he saw that Pang Tong was setting up a village outside Chengdu, instead of opening the gate of Chengdu to meet him, Wei Yan was a little relieved.
Chengdu, Thorn History.
"Smack~"
The valuable porcelain has been in close contact with the ground, since the day Pang Tong suddenly appeared on the Chengdu Plain with soldiers and horses, this is no longer known to be the first few porcelain broken by Liu Zhang, under the council hall, the officials of Chengdu have arrived, during this time, Liu Zhang is surprisingly diligent, almost every day will convene the ministers to discuss the strategy of breaking the enemy, but although the people have arrived, but there are few responders, even if it is now the Ling Bao who has been restored to military power, he rarely speaks.
Looking at the courtiers in the council hall, Liu Zhang felt angry: "Speak!" Why did Liu Bi appear among the rebels? Yes? You all pride yourself on being resourceful on a daily basis, what's wrong with you now? ”
Looking at a pair of courtiers who would never return the favor even if they were beaten and scolded, Liu Zhang suddenly felt a deep malice from this world, had these courtiers decided to abandon themselves?
At this moment, Liu Zhang had an unspeakable panic in his heart, he now collected more than ninety percent of the wealth of Chengdu, but it was not until the enemy soldiers approached the city that Liu Zhang suddenly realized that while he was seizing these wealth, he also lost the hearts of the people.
"Lord ......" Huang Quan stepped forward and shook his head with a somewhat complicated expression.
"Gongheng has a plan to teach me?" Liu Zhang's face couldn't help but be happy when he saw Huang Quan come out, although he had also engaged in Huang Quan before, but Huang Quan has always been a loyal minister in Shuzhong, and he should ...... Probably...... I'll help myself with my worries.
"Lord, the general trend has gone, let's surrender in Kaesong." Huang Quan sighed, his eyes looked at Liu Zhang with some complicated eyes, his heart had been lost, not only those soldiers from the Langzhong camp outside the city, even in this city, from the officials of the family, down to the soldiers and the people, and even including Wu Yi, who had always been favored by Liu Zhang, how many people would be willing to advance and retreat with Liu Zhang in this situation?
What's more, Pang Tong brought the soldiers and horses of Langzhong, that is to say, the 100,000 army in Langzhong has already surrendered to Lu Bu at this moment, which is most of the troops in Shuzhong, and Chengdu now has 30,000 defenders, but so what? Now there is no place to ask for help, and the internal people are distracting, and the soldiers defending the city are all in a state of not being able to work, otherwise, Pang Tong only brought 20,000 people, how could it put so much pressure on Chengdu?
The matter has come to this, Chengdu is broken, it is almost a sure thing, surrender, can still save Liu Zhang's life, if he dies and does not surrender, then I am afraid that even Liu Zhang's life will not be saved.
"Get out of here!" I was looking forward to it, but in the end, I got such a result, the panic in my chest gradually turned into anger, and after breaking a porcelain again, Liu Zhang's roar spread throughout the Assassin's Mansion.
"Newspaper~"
Just as everyone was about to disperse, a junior colonel rushed in from outside the conference hall, knelt on the ground and said miserably: "Lord, General Lingbao in the city has just sent a message that Wei Yan led the 80,000 troops of Langzhong out of Mianzhu Pass, and has joined forces with Pang Tong, and has begun to besiege the city at this moment!" ”
"What!?" Liu Zhang's face turned pale suddenly, in the meeting hall, a group of people looked involuntarily active, Liu Zhang dug his own grave, causing the people's hearts and the army's heart to be lost, and now the 100,000 troops in Langzhong are all opposed, and the entire northern part of Yizhou has been reduced to Lu Bu's rule, although Lu Bu is also not very popular, but the development of Guanzhong over the years is also in the eyes of everyone, although the land is gone, but even if Lu Bu is a Zhishi, he can at least mix a rich man to do it, and Lu Bu has not done anything that violates his own law so far.
Looking at Liu Zhang, who was on the throne, with a lost face, a group of courtiers did not have the slightest mercy, and there were only two words in their hearts - they deserved it, if it weren't for Liu Zhang's nonsense, with those countless dangers, how could they make the generals of Langzhong rebel, how could Pang Tong easily lead his troops into the Chengdu Plain, resulting in today's disaster?
A group of people silently withdrew from the conference hall, leaving Liu Zhang alone in his place, looking out of the hall blankly.
Meng Da strode in, bowed to Liu Zhang, and said, "The last general will see the lord." ”
"Zidu is here?" Liu Zhang smiled bitterly, his eyes suddenly moved, and he looked at Meng Dadao: "At the beginning, Lu Bu promoted Juntian in Jizhou, causing all the people to scramble for support, and now I am promoting Juntian in Yizhou, although the evil family, but it benefits the people, Meng Da quickly went to post the list of articles, saying that the country is in trouble, and invited all the people to defend the city!" ”
Lu Bu is basically because of the promotion of the Juntian system, in less than ten years, so that the governance of the land is stable, no longer constrained by the family, now although Liu Zhang is evil to the family, but in a sense, he can be regarded as liberating the people from the hands of the family, should also support himself as the people of Guanzhong support Lu Bu.
"This ......" Meng Da shook his head, with some disdain in his heart, and looked at Liu Zhang and said, "Do you know why the champion Hou is loved by all the people?" ”
"Why?" Liu Zhang frowned, and was a little dissatisfied with Meng Da's honorific title for Lu Bu, but now looking at Chengdu, I am afraid that there is only such a person available around him, that is, Wu Yi, who has been sick for a long time, Liu Zhang is actually no one available now, looking at Meng Da, he can only patiently listen to the other party's explanation.
As of last year, the champion Hou ruled the field tax is twenty taxes one, like Youzhou and other bitter cold places, but also thirty taxes and even forty taxes, even if it is Youzhou, and the state and other bitter cold places, the people can also have enough food and clothing, in the case of a famine, but also get government relief, the people get benefits, naturally willing to sincerely support the champion Hou, and although the lord imitates the champion Hou, but the law is not clear, the tax is not clear, although there is no family in the middle of the exploitation, But the people's taxes have not changed much, and even more stringent than before, Chengdu's taxes are as high as ten taxes and seven or eight, in this case, only its shape but not its god, how can it be supported by the people? ”
Meng Da changed his previous obedience to Liu Zhang's words, and talked eloquently, explaining the many disadvantages of Liu Zhang's imitation of Lu Bu, for the people of Shuzhong, in fact, there is no difference between Juntian and not, but he has changed from a family slave to Liu Zhang's family slave, and he has not received any benefits, how can he support Liu Zhang?
And Liu Zhang's painting of the tiger did not become an anti-dog, and he failed to win the hearts of the people, but instead hated the Shuzhong family, causing the hearts of the people to lose their hearts today, and finally leading to the end of the rebellion of the people now.
"So, it's all my fault!?" Liu Zhang's face was gloomy, and he stared at Meng Da deadly.
"Not bad." Meng Da said first.
"Presumptuous!" Liu Zhang finally couldn't bear the anger in his chest, and shot the case, pointing at Meng Dadao.
"Please call you the lord again." Meng Da shook his head and sighed: "Haven't you found out yet, by now, you have lost all your hearts, and the soldiers and civilians in the city are all looking forward to the army outside the city breaking the city as soon as possible." ”
"Including you!" Liu Zhang's brain suddenly sobered up at this moment, looked at Meng Da, and said coldly.
"Included." nodded, now, the 100,000-strong army is besieging the city, and the soldiers and civilians in the city have separated from Liu Zhang, and there is no need for Meng Da to continue to cover up.
"Newspaper~"
Just when the two were confronting, a small colonel rushed over, looking at the two people facing each other, a little stunned, Meng Da said indifferently: "Speak." ”
"Whoa!" The little colonel nodded, and said with a panicked expression: "Back to the general, Ling Bao was said to surrender by Liu Xuan, and now the city gate has been opened, Pang Tong and Wei Yan have entered the city with soldiers and horses, general, what should we do?" ”
"Tell the soldiers of the battalion that don't resist, it'll be fine." Meng Da said indifferently.
"Mengda~!" (To be continued.) )
