Chapter 563: The Fall of Western Shu

p

Like Mao Dezu and Huan Zhen, when Chen Zong learned that the Sword Pavilion was lost and Fucheng had fallen, he knew that the general trend had gone.

Now Chengdu has no soldiers and no generals, and sooner or later it will be conquered by Hexi.

Qian Zong didn't want to stay in Chengdu as a prisoner, so he simply packed up and prepared to flee to Nanzhong with his family.

Looking at the blue sky and white clouds overhead, and then thinking about the grand plan hegemony that has become empty, I can't help but feel sad from it, and tears instantly blur my vision.

"Alas!"

After a long sigh, he reluctantly left Chengdu and prepared to take refuge in Nanzhong.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he led the people out of the city gate, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

He put his hand on the pergola and looked far away, but he saw a group of black dots moving rapidly towards Chengdu on the horizon in the distance.

"Who's coming? Could it be that the Hexi Army is calling? "Indulgence is uncertain.

The black dots are getting closer and closer, and the centaurs are moving from far to near.

When the people came to him, he saw clearly that it was the general Qian Daofu who led the army of Yunxian County to aid Chengdu.

Qian Zong couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "General Fuguo, the widow is here?" ”

Chen Daofu followed the prestige, and just saw that Chen Zong looked like he was fleeing, and he couldn't help frowning.

He pointed to the carriages full of goods behind him, and asked angrily: "The king is not guarding in Chengdu, where are you going?" ”

Chen Zong listened to Chen Daofu's questioning, as if he had been pricked by a needle, and he was uncomfortable.

He hesitated for a long time before replying: "The Sword Pavilion is lost, General Hou Hui is killed in battle, and Chengdu is in danger." ”

When he said Fudeng, he understood, and dared to ask the king of Shu to have no confidence to hold Chengdu, so he fled with his wealth.

When he thought that the guy he was desperately trying to protect was so useless, he jumped up with anger in his heart.

Completely ignoring the etiquette of the monarch and the ministers, he began to scold the connivance.

"I'm blind enough to protect you."

"At present, the Hexi army is entering Shu in a big way, and you, as the king of Shu, not only do not think about defending the land and resisting the enemy, but take the lead in escaping."

"You, you...... What kind of face do you have to meet those Xishu soldiers who died on the battlefield? ”

Chen Zong was scolded so much that he opened his mouth, lowered his head slightly, and didn't know where to put his hands.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and then he thought that the Hexi army was about to come to the city, and he couldn't help but draw his sword.

This move frightened Chen Zong, thinking that Chen Daofu was going to be unfavorable to him.

Who knew that Chen Daofu glanced at the contempt and indulged in it, and killed himself directly.

Chen Zong never expected that Chen Daofu would commit suicide, all this happened too suddenly, and it was too late to stop it.

After all, Chen Daofu is his humerus, and he is still related to him, how can he not make him sad.

Chen Zong jumped off the horse with difficulty, ** love the corpse, and couldn't help crying.

"Even if I can have such a loyal minister as you, it is not in vain to go through this experience in the world."

"I'm not a good monarch, and I'm ashamed to support you before."

The others stepped forward one after another to persuade: "King, people can't be resurrected after death, and the situation is critical now, so let's run away quickly." ”

Qian Zong hastily buried the body of Chen Daofu, sighed a few words, and then rode on his horse and fled to Nanzhong.

With the suicide of Chen Daofu and the escape of Chen Zong, the entire Xishu regime completely collapsed.

Everyone knows that the general trend of Xishu has gone, and it will be useless to continue fighting.

So, under the leadership of Shangshu Ma Tan of Western Shu, everyone proposed to surrender to Wang Maide, the commander of the expedition to Shu.

……

Wang Maide and other generals learned that they had fled and Chengdu was empty, so they accelerated their march and rushed to Chengdu day and night.

At this time, Chengdu was temporarily taken over by officials such as Ma Tan, who was ordered by the original Shu Shangshu, and Ma Tan and other surrendered officials seemed to be very aware of current affairs.

Before the Hexi army entered Chengdu, they sealed the treasury and books.

is ready to use this as a heavy gift, and wants to be pardoned and reused by King Yong.

However, almost all of these people are from Shu families and Qu Shuai of the Di clan, and they are quite influential in Shu.

Except for some people who think that Xishu is dead from the bottom of their hearts and want to sincerely take refuge in Hexi.

There are also a considerable number of people who are just forced by the situation, not sincerely.

Among them, especially the Hou Chande, the commander of the Di tribe, was the most unwilling, and even fantasized about driving the Hexi people away in his heart.

Hou Chande and Hou Hui, who died in Yangpingguan, were both from the Di ethnic group, and they wanted to emulate the Li Xiong brothers and establish a Di country.

A few days later, the two Hexi armies of the eastern and northern fronts met in Chengdu, and the Hexi generals such as Wang Maide, Huan Zhen, Mao Dezu, Li Sui, Zhu Lingshi, and Hu Fan under the city were all smiling.

The generals did not rush into Chengdu, but first discussed it properly before sending people into the city to contact Ma Tan and others.

In the afternoon of the same day, Ma Tan, as the highest official in the city, held the table, jade seal, classics, and seals, and officially asked Hexi to surrender.

The rest of the Western Shu civil and military officials knelt on both sides of the city gate to welcome the Hexi army into the city.

The Hexi generals led by Wang Maide rode high-headed horses, and walked into Chengdu with their heads held high in the eyes of the Shu people full of fear.

At this time, the complacent generals did not notice at all, and there was a man in the corner staring at their backs with a fierce light.

After the Hexi Army entered the city, it quickly took over the city defense and officially became the new master of Chengdu.

After that, in the name of conquest of the governor, Wang Maide restrained the soldiers from plundering the place and harassing the common people.

Seeing that the Hexi Army was strictly disciplined, Xishu was somewhat relieved, and the people's hearts gradually stabilized.

However, due to the fact that he fled to the south, the situation in Shu was not stable.

In order to pacify the region, Wang Maide ordered the army to be divided into four parts, led by Mao Dezu, Li Xun, Zhu Lingshi and Hu Fan.

Among them, Li Sui led the army back to Nanzheng and garrisoned Hanzhong; Mao Dezu went to Jiangzhou and garrisoned the three counties of Badong.

And Zhu Lingshi went to the Sword Pavilion to take care of this choke point that guards Hanzhong from the south to Shu.

The rest of the people stayed in Chengdu to deter the local Xiaoxiao; Second, they are preparing to use troops against Nanzhong in order to completely eliminate the arrogance.

At the end of October, after initially stabilizing the situation in Shu, Wang Maide immediately sent a letter to the cabinet and asked King Yong to send someone to take over the government affairs in Shuzhong as soon as possible.

……

But I have to say that Wang Maide was happy early, and not long after he sent the song out, someone here began to plan a rebellion.

"Governor Yudu, Hou Chande, the commander of the Di tribe, is secretly contacting dozens of Qu Shuai and the leaders of the Di tribe in Fucheng."

"They gathered thousands of people, secretly prepared swords, guns and armor, and were preparing to have bad intentions."

Since the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Guanzhong Di people moved south to Shu and seized the state, and the Di people have been multiplying in Shu for nearly a hundred years.

In the past 100 years, the Di people in Shu have basically completed the sinicization and have become a force that cannot be ignored in Shu.

Although after the fall of the Cheng Han Dynasty, the scenery of the Di people in Shu is no longer there, but its strength is still not to be underestimated.

When Huan Xuan rebelled in the Great Jin Dynasty and captured Jiankang, he suddenly let the people of Shu see the opportunity and tried to re-occupy Shu.

This is why Hou Hui and others supported the establishment of the country, but unfortunately, the prosperity of Xishu is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden!

But this did not make the people of Di extinguish their ambitions, and when they saw that the Hexi Army was stationed in various places, they began to move again.

In addition, the former ministers of Western Shu who surrendered to Hexi before were also disproportionate to their 'paying' and 'getting', and Hexi planned to implement the uniform land system and release slaves in Shu.

As a result, the so-called 'loyalty' in everyone's hearts began to surge, and they began to miss the old master in the past.

Soon, the two forces colluded.

In the name of visiting relatives and friends, they quietly gathered in Fucheng.

As soon as everyone saw each other, they hugged their heads and cried, and denounced the cruelty of Hexi, remembering the kindness of the King of Shu.

Those who don't know still think that all of them are loyal ministers of Xishu, and they have completely forgotten who welcomed the Hexi army into Chengdu in the first place.

After crying, everyone swore a blood oath, elected the leader of the Qushuai Hou Chande League of the Di Nationality, and decided to restore the "Xishu" world.

These people are all from the big clans of Shuzhong, Huluqu Shuai, and the chiefs, and the family has money, food, and people.

As a result, those who have money pay, and some people pay people, and within a few days, they have gathered more than 10,000 "loyal and brave people".

With the centaurs, Hou felt that his waist was much stiffer, and he felt that it was just around the corner to recover Chengdu and establish a hegemony.

As everyone knows, the small actions of the commanders of the Di clan, the powerful families, and the leaders of the bureaucrats have long been noticed by Wang Maide.

It's just that Wang Maide wants to wipe out all the hidden dangers, so he turns a blind eye to the 'rebellion' in various places again and again.

I think that at the beginning, Wang Maide was in Longyou to rectify the strong and handsome, and he was bloody.

He knew a lot about the urine nature of these people, so he had already prepared other means to deal with Haoqiang in Shuzhong.

So, with the intentional or unintentional connivance of Wang Maide, Hou Chande and others went further and further on the road of rebellion.
