Chapter 38: Meng Chang sues for peace

The young man Zhao Wei saw was Zhao Xu, and when Zhao Xu left Tangcang, he went directly to meet Zhao Kuangyin and Wang Jing.

They were discussing how to break through Qinzhou City, although they were now besieging Qinzhou, but Qinzhou City was thick and high.

No matter how strong and elite the soldiers of the Great Zhou are, there will inevitably be casualties, but they are all lives, and it is best to reduce casualties.

Just when everyone was having a headache, the spies came with news that the Xiongwu Army had made Han Jixun flee back to Chengdu.

When he left, he took away the elite of his subordinates, and now in Qinzhou City, Zhao Wei, an observer, is presiding over all affairs.

At this time, Miao Xun suggested that Zhao Xu could try to send someone to persuade Zhao Wei to surrender, and he would surrender to Zhao Wei in eighty percent.

In this way, it will be possible to reduce the casualties of the military and civilians of the twin engines. Miao Xunyi is so sure that it is because he has been in Shu for a few years, and he still knows the details of some officials in Shu.

This Zhao Wei's ancestral home is the Central Plains, but when Shu occupied Qinzhou a year later, he was still a small official, but he didn't expect to become a big man now.

At the same time, even Zhao Wei, who loves to eat the Yellow River carp in his hometown, knows that this seedling training is really not simple.

So immediately Zhao Xu decided to go in person, and no one persuaded him to listen, seeing that he insisted on doing so, Miao Xun also decided to follow.

Miao Xun's stubbornness Zhao Xu also had been taught, and there was no way for Zhao Xu to let him follow.

However, Zhao Xu originally planned to go by himself, but since Miao Xun was also going to follow, he naturally wanted to bring an escort.

This is still his two personal bodyguards, Dong Xuanye and Liu Hongqing, who performed well in this battle.

Zhao Xu discussed his idea with his father Zhao Kuangyin and Wang Jing, and they also thought it was okay, but it was a bit risky.

They were worried that if Zhao Wei detained them, they would do so. At this time, Zhao Xu answered them like this.

If he detains us, then you can attack the city with all your might, and then you will leave in style.

When the group of them appeared in front of Zhao Wei, they immediately attracted the attention of his guards. ()

They quickly surrounded the four of them, and Dong Xuanye and Liu Hongqing were also nervously guarded.

On the other hand, Zhao Xu and Miao Xun looked very relaxed, Zhao Xu walked over and waved his two guards to retreat.

said a word to Zhao Wei from afar:

"Lord Zhao, do you remember the smell of carp in the Yellow River?"

After hearing this, Zhao Wei immediately escorted and retreated, he knew that a young man was the envoy of the Great Zhou, and he was still thinking about how to defend the city, so there was a messenger of the Great Zhou.

Is it possible to go one way? So he invited Zhao Xu and his entourage into the living room, all of them were his cronies, and Zhao Wei didn't have any scruples. Talked to them for a long time.

Then Zhao Xu and his entourage left, and it didn't take long for Zhao Wei to open the city gate, holding a seal ribbon and a Qinzhou military and civilian roster to surrender the city.

When Chai Rong, who was in Bianjing, heard that Qinzhou was occupied by the Great Zhou, he clapped his palms happily, and when he heard that Zhao Xu and others entered the city alone to persuade Zhao Wei to surrender, he was even more amazed.

The decree was commended, and all the rewards were waiting for the return of the dynasty, and the emperor issued them on the spot.

At this time, in the court of Houshu, Meng Chang was also furious when he heard that Qinzhou was occupied, and wanted to punish Han Jixun who ran back.

"Han Jixun, you have high hopes for me, you actually ran back by yourself, what should you be guilty of?"

Meng Chang was furious. Qinzhou, which took little effort to occupy back then, has now been captured by Zhou without much effort, can he not be angry?

Han Jixun was so frightened that he also crawled on the ground, his emperor didn't blink when he killed the minister, he was really scared.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you, after you listen to the minister, the minister's death to break through the siege will be to you, inform you of the situation, I hope you can send troops, when I leave, the defense arrangements are very good, and they are all handed over to Zhao Wei."

Han Jixun looked at Meng Chang and saw that he didn't continue to get angry, so he continued to speak:

"I have arranged the defense, according to my arrangement, the Zhou army is very difficult to break through Qinzhou City, it must be Zhao Wei who collaborated with the enemy to surrender. [.Lots of good novels]"

Han Jixun was drenched in sweat, and just at this time, the latest information was sent back.

It is clearly written that the beginning and end of the occupation of Qinzhou turned out to be really this Zhao Wei who surrendered the city.

Meng Chang tore the information to shreds after reading it, and Han continued to breathe a sigh of relief at this time, and thanked Zhao Wei very much in his heart.

Meng Chang also asked Han Jixun to stand up and reply, and at the same time discussed with the important ministers what to do.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a note." A minister came out to play.

Meng Chang saw that it was the privy envoy Wang Zhaoyuan, this was his confidant and favorite general, and he was more talented than Zhuge Liang.

Meng Chang smiled and said:

"If Aiqing has any good ideas, you might as well say it and see if there is anything that can save our Shu Kingdom."

Meng Chang will also die, and he is a little sick and rushes to the doctor.

With the emperor's permission, Wang Zhaoyuan said slowly:

"Your Majesty, our national strength is not as strong as that of the Great Zhou, and we are not as strong as the soldiers of the Great Zhou, but we can seek foreign aid?"

Wang Zhaoyuan's method was to find foreign aid for the Great Shu State.

Meng Chang also muttered: "Foreign aid? Where can we find foreign aid at this time? ”

"Your Majesty, for example, the Khitan and the Southern Tang Dynasty. The Khitan is our mortal enemy, don't go to him, then go to the Southern Tang! ”

Wang Zhaoyuan briefly analyzed it and said.

Meng Chang didn't immediately decide: "What do you think of the Qing family?" "This Meng Chang also knows how to brainstorm.

At this time, the minister still dares to say anything, and he will be punished for saying wrong, and he wants to say that he has a good suggestion, or he supports it!

Without any suspense, Wang Zhaoyuan's proposal passed, and Meng Chang immediately sent an envoy to contact Southern Tang.

Li Jing, the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was a man who did not do much in politics, but he was very talented in poetry.

Without any court discussion, it was decided to send troops to Hou Zhou, and at the same time sent secret envoys to contact the Khitan to prepare for an attack on Hou Zhou on both sides.

This series of actions of the Southern Tang Dynasty also provided an excellent reason for the Great Zhou Dynasty to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty in the future.

If Li Jing knew that he would lose the fourteenth week of Jiangbei because of this, I don't know if he would still attack the Great Zhou.

Hou Shu's backup did not seem to play a role, and Hou Shu's army, under the command of Zhao's father and son, Wang Jing and others, was like a bamboo, and Hou Shu had no power to fight back.

At this time, it becomes. The second state, seeing that Qinzhou had surrendered, he also knew that he could not hold it, plus his old acquaintances, Zhao Wei's persuasion soon surrendered to these two states.

Soon, three states of Qin and Feng returned to the arms of the Great Zhou, and even the enemies of the Southern Tang Dynasty were defeated.

When I heard that Cheng and Jieerzhou had surrendered again this time, I was even more afraid; So I wrote a letter. A letter of peace was sent to Bianliang.

Chai Rong saw it and threw it on the ground, ignoring it and not responding.

The approximate meaning of Meng Chang is;

"The Emperor of the Great Shu State wrote to the Emperor of the Zhou State. Our hometowns are all from Hebei, that is to say, we are all fellow villagers, why should we be difficult to be fellow villagers? ”

Meng Chang is also stupid and cute, now is the time to dominate the world, not the time for fellow villagers to see their fellow countrymen.

"So we should have friendly relations and not wars, you say."

Meng Chang just wants to seek peace, ask for peace, ask for peace, and find fellow countrymen in the relationship, and Chai Rong will buy your account.

The most important thing is that you, Meng Chang, also proclaimed himself the emperor of the Great Shu Kingdom, and wrote a letter to the Emperor of the Zhou State, which invisibly put your Shu Kingdom on top of the Zhou State.

At that time, after Zhou Shizong Chai Rong read the letter, he scoffed even more. I think my Da Zhou is the lord of the Central Plains.

It has jurisdiction over more than 10 provinces such as Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, and Shandong, and can be said to be the largest country in the past five generations.

And you, Meng Chang, only govern one Sichuan Province, so you can be on an equal footing with me? It also calls itself the Great Shu Kingdom.

Back then, Liu Bei's territory was bigger than yours, and he was not as arrogant as you, did you Meng Laosan think you were a cow.

Besides, in my eyes, all of you countries are separatist forces, and sooner or later they will be wiped out.

I want to dominate the world, not through war, through what? Can you surrender obediently, want to make peace, there is no door, you wait to be beaten reads;.

So Chai Rong didn't reply to Meng Chang at all.

When the news reached Chengdu, Meng Chang was very scared, but it was more unbalanced:

"You Chai Rong is too presumptuous, when I was the emperor, you were still selling tea and you were a low-level businessman.

Now that you are sitting on the Central Plains, you look down on me, what are you? ”

Complaining is complaining, Meng Chang knew that it was impossible to make peace, so he also actively prepared for war to prevent the attack in the coming weeks.

Meng Chang wanted to hoard a large number of troops in Jianmen and White Emperor City to defend, because he was really afraid that the Great Zhou would attack Shu.

This requires a large number of troops, but the current number of Shu troops is really insufficient, with the deployment of a large number of troops, the Shu army began to have the problem of insufficient troops.

The problem of insufficient troops is very easy to solve, so go to conscription, otherwise there is no other way, Meng Chang waved his pen, and the whole country began to conscript.

It is not enough to stipulate that all men over the age of 14 and under the age of 60 should enlist in the army.

In desperation, he changed the lower age limit to eleven years old, and now the soldier is enough.

With the massive conscription, the countryside began to have unmanaged land, some of which were gradually deserted, and some villages were even empty.

At the same time, a large number of personnel poured into the barracks, accompanied by the major problem of insufficient logistics, in order to solve the problem of military rations, Meng Chang once again forcibly requisitioned military rations.

At the same time, Hou Shu began to build a large number of iron money, and forcibly expropriated iron tools from the people, making the people miserable.

It can be said that before the war began, Hou Shu was already doomed to failure, and it was Hou Shu himself who was defeated.

The soldier whose family is ruined, the one who has the heart to give you his life, will the people who have a broken family have the same heart as you?

What else are you talking about? .
