When Wang Maide led the bloody battle of the Hexi soldiers, Wei Shuo was holding a banquet in the mansion to entertain Niu Shou, the leader of the northbound refugees.

Niu Shou was born in Longxi Niu, during the Han Dynasty, Niu's developed into the Longxi Wang clan, and there were many celebrities in the clan.

At the end of the Jin Dynasty, Guanzhong was in turmoil, and a large number of displaced people migrated to Hanzhong Shu, among which there were Niu clansmen.

Recently, as the situation in Longyou, Hexi has become increasingly stable, some families who have moved south have begun to plan to return to their hometowns in the north.

It was in this context that Niu Shou led thousands of displaced people to leave Hanzhong and return to their hometown in Longxi.

Today is different from the past, and it is said that with the current status of Wei Shuo, it is not worth personally entertaining a small leader of the homeless people.

And the reason why he treats Niu Shou well is because he wants to know the inside story of Shuzhong.

At present, with the recovery and annexation of Hexi, Wei Shuo has focused his attention on Shu and Guanzhong.

Guanzhong is okay to say, but he is only one step away from the door, but Shudi is always like a layer of fog, so that Wei Shuo can't see the reality clearly.

The banquet was set up in the Wei Mansion, not a formal reception, but a gathering like a friend, in addition to Wei Shuo and Niu Shou, there were also Cui Hong and other confidants to accompany him.

"Oh, it's better to be home......"

Niu Shou sat on the seat, drank fine wine, admired the beautiful dancing of the dancer, and couldn't help but sigh.

Wei Shuo held his wine glass, as if he had no intention of asking: "Shuo heard that Chengdu is like spring all year round, and it has been peaceful for decades, and the people are extremely rich." ”

"Humph! This is just a superficial phenomenon, in fact, Shu has long been in danger, and sooner or later there will be turmoil. ”

Wei Shuo asked quietly, "Oh? Is it? May Wen Renqing be high-minded. ”

Niu Shou did not doubt that he had him, and said with emotion: "I can't talk about high opinions, it's just a shallow view." ”

"Since most of the protectors are willing to listen to the chatter, I will reluctantly talk about my feelings."

"If you don't speak well, please protect most of the seas."

"Hahaha, sir, just talk about it, I'll wait for the right to make small talk."

"Dadu Hu said very much, and please don't have any worries about Mr. Renqing, but it's okay to talk about it, I'll listen to it."

Under the continuous compliments and urges of everyone, Niu Shou gradually let go of the restraints and made the grievances in Shuzhong clear for decades.

It also finally allowed Wei Shuo and others to clear the fog in front of them and have a deeper understanding of the situation in Shudi.

"Most of the people have lived in the northwest for a long time, and they must have never heard of the entry of the bureaucrats into Shu, which is a large-scale migration incident that has occurred in recent decades."

"The wingmen are a branch of Baiyue, originally living in the southwest region and are very widely distributed."

"Although the wingmen are relatively short in stature, they are strong and powerful, and they like to fight."

"Since the fifth year of Yongjia in the Jin Dynasty (that is, in 302 AD), a large number of bureaucrats have moved in Qianwei County and Yandao County in the south of Shudi."

"Later, due to the counties of Qiqi and Yelang, they became the places where the Cheng Han and the Eastern Jin Dynasty repeatedly fought and fought fiercely."

"During the Xiankang period (starting from 338 AD), hundreds of thousands of people living in the area of Qiqi began to go north on a large scale to Shu in order to escape the war."

"In addition, in order to seize territory, the Southern Dynasties, the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Cheng Han Dynasty had many large-scale battles between the two sides."

"The war led to a massive decline in the population, and in order to compensate for the loss of the population, both sides had taken prisoners on a large scale."

"Among them, the Cheng Han regime plundered a large number of bureaucrats from Nanzhong, Qiqi and other places to enter Shu during the reign of Li Shou."

"Even in order to replenish the towns that were deserted by the war, more than 3,000 households were relocated to the Chengdu area."

"According to incomplete statistics, there were about more than 100,000 households and nearly 600,000 people who entered Shu during the Han Dynasty."

"The fifteen counties set up in the Jin Dynasty, except for the one county in Xindu, the remaining fourteen counties all have wingmen, and Chengdu is no exception."

"Objectively speaking, the entry of wingmen into Shu has increased the population of Shu, but it has also seriously affected the stability of Shuzhong."

"The bureaucrats are backward and war-like, and they are accustomed to mountain life, and after the bureaucrats entered Shu, the bandits that were rare before also ran rampant in Shu."

"So much so that every year the government needs to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to clean up, otherwise it will not be able to ensure normal life."

"In Shou's view, the harm caused by the bureaucrats entering Shu is far greater than the plundering of the displaced people in the six counties back then."

"Because although those displaced people at that time were very destructive, after all, the overall quality was high, and there were many leaders of the noble clan who knew how to build and protect."

"It's not like the bureaucrats have almost set Shudi's economy back for decades, and it has long ceased to be rich."

"And the entry of the bureaucrats into Shu has aggravated the contradictions between the local clans and the imperial court, and now the relationship between the Shu family and the government is very tense."

"Oh? What are the advantages? ”

"Most of the guards don't know, and the imperial court naturally hopes that the more people there are, the better, so that they can draw more young people."

"The local clans believe that the bureaucrats have seriously threatened the interests of the family, and resolutely do not agree to recruit the bureaucrats again."

"Most of the protectors know why they chose to return to the north after thousands of miles?"

"Isn't it because I miss my hometown?"

"This is just one of them, and more importantly, there are a lot of contradictions accumulated in Shu at the moment, and a little spark will ignite a raging fire."

"The big families, court officials, local people, bureaucrats and barbarians, etc., there are many contradictions between all parties, and they all need a catharsis."

"I feel that instead of being affected by the turmoil in Shu in the future, it is better to return to my hometown earlier."

"Longxi has long been restored to calm under the protection of the capital, although it is not very rich, it is much safer than Shudi."

"Hahaha, Mr. Renqing has an overreputation, Shuo doesn't dare to praise it."

"No, no, no, most of the protectors are too modest, the old man is all over the world, and there are very few people who can compare with the majority of the protectors."

On the same day, Wei Shuo, Niu Shou, Cui Hong and others had a very happy conversation, and they were happy during the banquet, and finally dispersed happily.

……

After sending Niu Shou away, Wei Shuo summoned Cui Hong and his son, Liu Muzhi, Song Miao and others.

He said to everyone excitedly: "Everyone, great changes in Shu are coming, and the opportunity for Hexi has come." ”

Cui Hong was also at the banquet just now, and he also knew the situation in Shuzhong very well.

He got up and added: "According to Niu Shou, there are currently three major forces in Shu, and there are many contradictions between the three parties, and sooner or later turmoil will break out. ”

"Dare to ask what are the three major forces of Xuan Bogong? How is it related to each other? ”

"These three major forces are the Shuzhong family, the court officials, and the Shu bureaucrats, because the bureaucrats disrupt the local order and infringe on the interests of the Shuzhong family."

"In order to maintain balance, the court officials sat back and watched the bureaucrats infringe on the family, and on the other hand, they oppressed the bureaucrats."

"In short, there are many contradictions between the three parties, and they are all full of dissatisfaction with reality, as long as there is a change in the center, Shu will be chaotic."

"Wow! In this way, shouldn't Jiangdong be a mess? ”

Liu Muzhi exaggerated: "The dispute between the central and the prime minister of the imperial court has not yet come to a conclusion, and there are Heavenly Master Dao in the southeast who are ready to move, Jingzhou and Huan Xuan have bad intentions, and now with Shudi, it seems that Jiangdong will not be able to do it if it wants to be chaotic." ”

"It's messy, it's messy, it's messy, it's not messy? How can Hexi have a chance to profit from this? ”

Wei Shuo waved his hand to stop Liu Muzhi, who was gloating, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "In fact, not only Jiangdong, Guanzhong and Hebei are also ready to move. ”

"Since Yao Xing was obsessed with Buddhism, Later Qin has fully revealed its decline, and Yao Hong, Yao Bi, and Yao Yi have been fighting for the position of the crown prince."

"The next moment will be a critical moment, as long as Hexi seizes the opportunity to take all the Shu land and Guanzhong, the general trend of the world will be decided."

"What the lord said is very true, but it is better not to act rashly now, but to wait and see." Cui Hao persuaded him.

"Bo Yuan is worried, Shuo will not act rashly, Guanzhong and don't mention it first, as we all know, Shu Road is difficult, and Shu is not easy to attack."

"The lord is wise, so the minister can rest assured."

Cui Hao was very worried that Wei Shuo was impulsive and took action.

Wei Shuo is not stupid, naturally he will not act rashly, what he has is patience.

As the old saying goes: The world is not chaotic before Shu is chaotic, and the world has been governed after Shu!

And this is precisely due to the unique geographical environment, as long as the turmoil breaks out in Shu in the past dynasties, it is easy to form a tail that cannot be dropped.

The stability of the imperial court regime is good to say, and it only needs to transfer a large number of foreign troops into Shu to quell the rebellion.

Once the center of the Eastern Jin Dynasty fell into internal strife, and the princes of various places sat down one after another, they would definitely be unable to suppress the rebellion in the future.

At that time, Hexi will be able to enter Shu under the banner of counterinsurgency, and will effortlessly take Shu land, which is known as the country of abundance.

The only thing that worries Wei Shuo is the geography of Shuzhong, but at that time, the rebels will not care about the dangerous passes in various places, and believe that as long as the Hexi army moves quickly, they will be able to occupy the dangerous passes before others.
