Chapter 364: Guan Yu succeeded
Hearing that Liu Zhang sent Ju Yan to guard the main road of the Sword Pavilion, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, in his mind, no matter what, Ju Yan was loyal to Emperor Liu Xie, so he Liu Bei, the imperial uncle, should naturally be respected. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Liu Bei sent Meng Da as an envoy to the Sword Pavilion to visit Ju Yan, but Ju Yan did not give Liu Bei face, and he did not see Meng Da from beginning to end, or Wu Yi came out to meet Meng Da, and this style of Ju Yan at least made Wu Yi very relieved, after all, Liu Zhang had specially explained to him before he came, closely monitored Ju Yan, and strictly prevented him from colluding with Liu Bei. At present, Ju Yan did not give Liu Bei any face, which made Wu Yi relax his vigilance.
After Meng Da returned to Jiameng Pass, he stated the incident to Liu Bei, and said exaggeratedly: "Lord, that Ju Yan didn't take the Lord in his eyes at all, not only did he not give us food and grass support, but also sent people to humiliate his subordinates, so it can be seen that although this Ju Yan is an imperial figure, it is quite unfavorable to the Lord Gong. ”
Liu Bei didn't squeak after listening to Meng Da's words, this attitude of Ju Yan made him a little inexplicable, although he had never seen Ju Yan after entering Shu, but he was the emperor's uncle, Ju Yan was so faceless, to be honest, Liu Bei was very unhappy.
Despite this, Liu Bei didn't have the heart to think about why Ju Yan did this, he was now plagued by a big problem, that is, grain and grass, Liu Zhang cut off his grain and grass, and asked Ju Yan and Wu Yi to defend the Sword Pavilion, making it clear that he was going to fight to the death with Gao Shun, and the meaning of guarding Jiameng Pass was no longer fighting, and now Liu Bei was thinking about what to do in the future.
The best way is to go south, at the moment the Yan army is two ways of army to cut Shu, Shu is also chaotic, at this time, Liu Bei has soldiers and horses in his hands, and there is the righteousness of the Han family, if he goes south to occupy a certain county and county to stand on his own, and even after Liu Zhang was captured by the Yan army, it is not impossible to erect a big banner and recruit Shu Chinese military generals, rather than to die in the Sword Pavilion and become cannon fodder in Liu Zhang's hands, it is better to leave in time and occupy a territory and establish himself as a king.
Thinking about it, Liu Bei thinks this method is good, but where to go?
Yeongchang County!
Liu Bei finally thought of a good place, and that was Yongchang County, the southernmost county of Yizhou, which began in the 1st century. During the Yongping period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ailao was attached to the country, and its land was divided into Ailao County and Bonan County, and the six counties in the west of the original Yizhou County were separated and merged into Yongchang County, which governed eight counties.
The geographical location of Yongchang County is roughly equivalent to the land of today's Yun, the western part of Southern Province, the eastern part of Kachin State and the eastern part of Shan State in Myanmar, and the county is governed in Buwei County, which is far away from Shuzhong, and Shuzhong's rule over the local area is not very strong, the most important thing is that if one day, the Yan army fights, he can at least rely on the foundation in Yongchang to expand the territory in the south and become the king.
Jiameng Pass to the south is Langzhong, to go to Yongchang, you have to go south from Langzhong into Jianwei, and then go south to Yongchang, this journey is not short, fortunately, now neither the Yan army nor the Shu army has the heart to notice him, he has Liu Zhang's seal on his body, and he will not encounter obstacles everywhere, this is the best way at present.
I have to say that Liu Bei is a little strong who can't be beaten, and if he can't beat him, he can run, and Liu Ran can be said to have created a precedent.
After making up his mind, Liu Beiping retired from the idle people and others, leaving Meng Da alone and telling his intentions.
Meng Da listened to Liu Bei's idea of going south, and said with great joy: "The lord is wise, there is a north-south trade route in Yongchang County, and the merchants in Shu often transport the silk in Shu to the south in exchange for gold, ivory, precious stones, kapok, jade, rhino horn, etc., if the lord can hold this trade route in his hands, then there will be enough money and food to train soldiers and horses in the future, even if the Yan army attacks, the lord is also a pity to follow the example of Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue in the early Han Dynasty, to build a country in the south and claim the king." ”
"Okay, good, good, Zidu's words are very much in line with my opinion, this matter needs to be handled by you, remember, leave those soldiers who are not really obedient to the Duke to collect the customs, let's gather soldiers and horses, quietly go south, and we must not let Yan Jun or Ju Yan find out."
"No!"
Meng Da quietly went down to contact, and finally found that there were 30,000 people willing to follow Liu Bei south, 30,000 people said that it was not too much, and it was not too much to say less, Liu Bei now has limited food and grass, and he can't take too many people and horses, and more importantly, he has to leave enough soldiers and horses here to confuse Yan Jun and Ju Yan.
When Ju Yan first arrived at the Sword Pavilion, Gao Shun got the news, and was overjoyed, he originally planned to attack Jiameng Pass immediately, but Ju Yan told him not to rush to capture Jiameng Pass, there is no news from Guan Yu's side at the moment, once there is news from Guan Yu, then attack Jiameng Pass, attract the attention of the Shu army, and facilitate Guan Yu's actions.
But for a few days in a row, Gao Shun found that the situation at Jiameng Pass was very wrong, although Liu Bei's flag was still fluttering on the pass, but he didn't see Liu Bei come out to inspect for several days, which made Gao Shun very strange.
"It's not good, this Liu Bei shouldn't slip away, right?"
As soon as Gao Shun's words came out, all the generals changed color, if Liu Bei was really allowed to slip away, then they would really lose their faces.
Unable to care about much, Gao Shun immediately ordered: "Order, the whole army will attack Jiameng Pass." ”
"Woo woo woo !!"
The horn was grand, I thought it was a big battle, but as a result, the Yan army had just pulled up the offensive posture, and the gate of Jiameng Pass suddenly opened, and a person who looked like a general came out of it and surrendered directly to Gao Shun.
Gao Shun entered the pass and took a look, only then did he know that the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses who collected the pass had run out of food, even if they didn't attack, these people were about to mutiny, as for Liu Bei, he ran away a few days ago.
"Damn it!"
Gao Shun didn't expect to let Liu Bei run away in front of his nose, but fortunately, now that Jiameng Pass has gone south, it's time for the Sword Pavilion to close the net.
Liu Bei fled, Jiameng Pass was captured by the Yan army, Wu Yi quickly got the news, and immediately came to Ju Yan to discuss: "General Ju, it's not good, Jiameng Pass was broken by the Yan army." ”
"Oh? Is it? Ju Yan didn't seem to be in a hurry, because he knew the news one step ahead of Wu Yi, and Gao Shun had just conquered Jiameng Pass, so he sent someone to report to him.
Seeing Ju Yan's appearance, Wu Yi was anxious and said, "General, now that the Yan army is about to arrive at the Sword Pavilion, what should our army do?" ”
"Don't panic, General Wu, the Sword Pavilion is guarded by natural dangers, even if the Yan army comes, it won't be pleased, the top priority is to tell the prince the news of Liu Bei, a white-eyed wolf, as soon as possible, and let the prince order the county officials to arrest Liu Bei."
Gao Shun told Ju Yan that Liu Bei is a very important person, and he must be caught, Ju Yan can't move lightly, so he can only report to Liu Zhang, and let Liu Zhang order Liu Bei to be captured.
When Wu Yi heard Ju Yan's words, he also felt reasonable, and did not urge again, but wrote a good report and passed it to Liu Zhang.
After the messenger went out, only Wu Yi and Ju Yan were left in the camp, and Ju Yan suddenly asked, "General Wu, if I remember correctly, you should have followed the first king into Shu, right?" ”
Hearing this, Wu Yi also showed a look of remembrance, and said: "What the general said is good, as early as when the former king was still in Zhuo County as a guard, Wu had already followed the first king, speaking of which when he played the yellow scarf, Wu also saw the current pseudo-emperor Su Chen, and at that time he saw that this person was extraordinary, especially good at governing the army, but I didn't expect that after so many years, this person would become such a big climate, it is really a creation and a trick." ”
"Oh? General Wu even met the Emperor of Yan? Then why didn't you follow him in the first place? Maybe now he is also the founder of the country, hahahaha. ”
In the face of Ju Yan's ridicule, Wu Yi said disapprerovitically: "Back then, the first king was a relative of the Han family, and Su Chen was just the son of a border family, who would have thought that there would be today, after the first king entered Shu, Wu was also very important, but as soon as the first king left, after the current king succeeded to the throne, the old man Wu could not be reused." ”
Speaking of the past, Wu Yi was quite emotional, thinking that his father Wu Kuang was also a hero who followed the general He Jin to kill the eunuchs, but now at this age, he is still just a small lieutenant general, it is impossible to say that Wu Yi has no ideas in his heart.
Ju Yan tested Wu Yi's slight dissatisfaction with Liu Zhang, and continued to ask: "I heard that General Wu has a beloved daughter, and it is rumored that this woman has a noble appearance, is this true?" ”
Wu Mi was originally married to Liu Mao, and after Liu Mao's death, Wu Mi became a widow, and it was precisely because of Liu Mao's relationship that Wu Yi was not reused by Liu Zhang, after all, Liu Mao was also robbed of the position of the son of the world with Liu Zhang, for Wu Yi, Liu Mao's father-in-law, it would be strange if Liu Zhang could reuse it.
"Does the general know this joke too?" At the beginning, Liu Yan heard that Wu Mi had a noble appearance, so he married Liu Mao as his wife, but Liu Mao was a sick ghost, Wu Mi died not long after she married, and the two did not become husband and wife at all, for the rumor of her daughter, Wu Yi felt half-truths and half-truths, and she was not too serious, after Wu Yi was widowed, she simply moved back to her parents' house to live, and Liu Zhang did not say anything.
"Sometimes jokes aren't necessarily true." Ju Yan said casually: "General Wu thinks that the Yan army will attack Shuzhong this time, can Shuzhong be able to stop it?" ”
When it comes to today's war situation, Wu Yi is a little depressed, he is also a person who knows the soldiers, at the moment Liu Zhang is indulging in pleasure and ignoring political affairs, Shuzhong is even more smoky, Yan Guo is attacking in a big way, it would be strange if he could stop it, but he couldn't say this.
The expression on Wu Yi's face flashed, but it was still captured by Ju Yan, he felt that Wu Yi might be able to persuade him to surrender, and it was useful for this person to keep it, and more importantly, Ju Yan wanted to dedicate Wu Yi's daughter to His Majesty today.
Of course, Wu Yi didn't know these thoughts, Ju Yan was still waiting to say a few words, and a personal soldier suddenly broke in outside the door, this person was Ju Yan's henchman, so he could enter without telling him, and as soon as Ju Yan saw him come in, he knew that there must be something important to say about Yan Guo.
Wu Yi is an interesting person, he saw this person break in directly, and Ju Yan didn't say anything to blame, he knew that the other party had something to talk about, he didn't listen to other people's secret thoughts, and left.
After Wu Yi left, the soldiers took out a note and handed it to Ju Yan, who was overjoyed when he saw it, and read it two or three times before burning the note.
"I didn't expect Guan Yu to really succeed, or maybe it's time for the battle to destroy Shu."
