Chapter 2: Let's talk about Zitong first
Du Wei has now officially become the county commander of Zitong County, and the 1,000 defenders are in the hands of Du Xing, the general of the Du family, which means that the current Zitong has undoubtedly become the Du family. Since the teacher Ren An settled in Zitong a few years ago, Ren An has not left, and now the world is in turmoil, and it is not about Ren An's master and apprentice, but suddenly he saw that Qianwei was too protective of Ren Qi rebelled, but it was not the court but Liu Yan, and then Jia Long, the captain of Yizhou, also raised troops in Fucheng to overthrow Liu Yan. Because of some of Liu Yan's excesses, for a while, many Shu Zhong and Shu Zhong joined the ranks of this anti-Liu Yan, and some of them did not help each other and made it clear that they were neutral. Du Wei is also facing such a problem at this time, Jia Long has a good relationship with Du Wei, but now Ren An can see that if there is no external intervention, Ren Qi Jia Long and others are definitely not Liu Yan's opponents, it is reported that Liu Yan has now launched the Qiang people west of Qingcheng Mountain in Shu County as Yizhou Mu to help, this Qiang people are known as Qingqiang, and five thousand elite horsemen came to help Liu Yan. I have to say that Ren An is an old man, and he looks at affairs accurately.
Du Wei said to Ren An: "Teacher, now this Deqian is only half a day away from my Zitong in Fucheng, if I Zitong doesn't help him, I'm afraid that Deqian will have to raise troops to my Zitong." Ren An smiled and said: "Guofu, if you say that one party can govern you, you can be a big responsibility, but at this time, you are not as good as Bozhi, hahaha." Who doesn't know the relationship between my Zitong and Bozhi, if the teacher is not bad, it is said that Bozhi has returned to Hanzhong from Luoyang at this time, if Bozhi knows about Shuzhong, bet for the teacher, Bozhi will not let go of this opportunity. Du Wei was puzzled: "Opportunity? ”
Ren An glanced at Du Wei, and in the chaotic world, it seemed that it was impossible to stay out of the matter. said: "Bo Zhi has always had great ambitions, and today the princes are rising, Bo Zhi Hanzhong District has more than one million people, and there are more civil and military generals to help each other, even if Bo Zhi does not want the world, the generals under his command will also instigate Bo Zhi to act, so the chaos in Shuzhong, Bo Zhi will definitely take the opportunity to take advantage." Guofu, you and Bo Zhi are both sons of the teacher, for the teacher to be benevolent and righteous and love the people, pro-virtuous and virtuous, there will be something to do in the future, if Guofu follows Bo Zhi away, maybe he can also be named the marquis in the future. ”
As soon as Ren An finished speaking, he saw Du Xingchong rushing over and said to Du Wei: "Master, a messenger from Hanzhong came up from Shu Road, saying that he wanted to see the master in person." Du Wei looked at Ren An in surprise, and Ren An smiled. Du Wei hurriedly said: "Quick, please come in, please come in." After speaking, he turned around and bowed to Ren An: "The teacher is like a god, and the students admire it." Ren An said: "Guofu, Liu Zhoumu still causes dissatisfaction in Shuzhong, if there are three or more years for Liu Zhoumu to clean up, Shuzhong may be able to return to Liu Zhoumu calmly, but Bozhi is the dragon among the people, and the soldiers and horses in Hanzhong are coming, and they have to share half of his Liu Zhoumu, and the Shu sergeant clan is only afraid that there will be more meaning to return to Bozhi." The teacher originally did not want and did not like the affairs of the court, but you and Bo Zhi are proud disciples of the teacher, and the teacher has to help a gang, and today the teacher will leave Zitong and go to Nanshu to unite the scholars to welcome Bozhi. ”
Du Wei was shocked, Ren An is a great celebrity in Shu, Ren An doesn't know how many virtuous people in Shu have to be convinced, Du Wei knows that Ren An is also persuading himself to serve Chen Lin as the master. Du Wei lowered his head and pondered, just waiting for someone from Hanzhong to come in and didn't know, Du Xing shouted: "Master, someone brought it." After speaking, he stood behind Du Wei and beware of accidents. The Hanzhong scout was just an ordinary scout, looking at Ren An and Du Xing, Du Wei understood what he meant, and said: "It's okay, this is a close person, you just say it." The scout then said: "Mr. Du, the lord of a certain family has now secretly led a large army into Shu, Liu Junlang has no way to chaos in Shu, and a certain lord is willing to help the Shu sergeant clan and return Shu to Qingping." ”
The scout also said something else, and after the scout left, Du Wei laughed: "Teacher, Bozhi is becoming more and more cunning, hahahaha." Du Wei and Chen Lin have a very good relationship, and the two can chat all night every time, talking about various events and characters. As soon as Du Wei heard what the scout said, and Ren An had decided to help Chen Lin, Du Wei also had a plan in his heart at this time. So he turned back to Du Xing and said, "Du Xing, immediately prepare grain and grass for six thousand soldiers and horses." "Du Xingnai is the loyal general of the Du family, and he never asks the reason for Du Wei's order, but just tries his best to do it well.
It turned out that the matter of Jia Long being said by Zhao Qian in Shuzhong spread to Hanzhong and Chen Lin's ears, Chen Lin knew that he could not wait any longer, so he immediately ordered all departments to defend Hanzhong, Chen Lin took Chen Zhi and Cai Yang who did not participate in the discussion of Dong and the first army of Hanzhong fell into the camp to attack 6,000 men and horses and waved the army to Shudao, and went straight to Zitong from Yinping County. Jia Xu knew the relationship between Chen Lin and Du Wei, and knew that Zitong didn't have to work too hard at all, but on the excuse of Chen Lin's entry into Shu, Jia Xu and Fa Yan thought differently, Fa Yan felt that Chen Lin should still support Liu Yan as the main and seek the righteousness of the imperial court, of course Jia Xu did not agree, Jia Xu knew the complex and intertwined relationship between the Shu sergeant clan, and understood the reason for the rebellion in Shuzhong, so he suggested that Chen Lin should use the banner of opposing Liu Yan to win the support of the Shu sergeant clan is the most effective. In the end, Chen Linyi agreed with Jia Xu's plan and publicly listed a series of Liu Yan's evil deeds, including not sending troops to fight Dong at the beginning, and so on.
Ren An saw that the scout was gone, Du Wei laughed again, Ren An said: "Bo Zhi openly waved the banner of driving Liu Zhoumu, this move is undoubtedly the biggest signal to the Shu sergeant clan, Bo Zhi is really good at strategy, Shuzhong, to change hands, hahaha." "It is advisable to change hands to his disciples, can Ren An be unhappy.
As I said before, there are two roads in Hanzhong County to Shu, both of which pass through Yinping, one left and one right Shu road into Shu, one in the west passes through Zitong into Guanghan County, and the one in the east is more precipitous, and the Sword Pavilion and Jiameng Pass go to Brazil. When the Hanzhong army passed through Yinping, when they reached the fork in the road, Huang Yan said: "Young Master, now that we have openly made enemies with Liu Zhoumu, what if this Sword Pavilion is attacked after taking advantage of our army's entry into Shu Dao, why don't you attack this Sword Pavilion first." ”
When Chen Lin heard it, what Huang Yan said was not unreasonable, but the role of the Sword Pavilion was very effective, but if it was said that it would be attacked later, it was unlikely, after all, Shu Dao was not suitable for combat, even if it was the side that attacked secretly, he didn't know how to sneak attack. And this time, Chen Lin entered Shu and did not need to transport grain from Hanzhong, and the Sword Pavilion lost its significance to the Hanzhong army in Zitong. Chen Lin's entry into Shu this time was determined to take Guanghan, as well as Brazil, at least to drive Liu Yan to Shu County and other southern counties. As long as Brazil wins, then whether it is the Sword Pavilion or the Jiameng Pass, it will become an isolated city, and there is only surrender. So Chen Lin hahaha said: "Huang Yan, it's okay. "Then tell Huang Yan about this, and when everyone heard it, it seemed that the role of the Sword Pavilion had to cooperate with Shangfucheng to play.
So the Hanzhong army rushed into Shu Road, not caring about the Sword Pavilion at all, at this time, the guards of the Sword Pavilion also learned that Yinping, a hundred miles away, found the Hanzhong army, and hurriedly reported back to Liu Yan from Brazil, but the two thousand defenders in the hands of the guards of the Sword Pavilion, in addition to strictly guarding, did not dare to go out of the customs to fight Chen Lin, and at the same time prayed that Chen Lin did not come to the Sword Pavilion. Hanzhong enters Shu, there is a distance of five or six hundred miles, and other places have to walk for two or even three days in Shu Road in one day, so in Shu Road, it will take almost a month for the Hanzhong army to go.
And Liu Yan, the state pastor, heard that Chen Lin was also against him, and he was angry, but he could only scold, and he was angry about Zhao Qian's rebellion. Originally, Liu Yan also wanted to send his son to Chang'an in exchange for Dong Zhuo's support. At this time, Chen Lin made a fuss, which made Liu Yan difficult, and he also complained about Dong Zhuo, so he broke off the idea of sending his son as a hostage. Concentrated troops and horses and Qingqiang went straight to Qianwei, defeated Ren Qi and Chen Chao in an instant, and successfully killed these two. Then immediately led the main force, under the leadership of the new general Zhang Ren and the strategist Huang Quan, to quickly return to defend Mianzhu. Jia Long didn't capture Mianzhu when Liu Yan's main force was not there, it was really a missed opportunity.
Zhang Rennai was born in bitter cold, and it is said that he is Zhang Xiu's brother, and he practiced martial arts together under Master Tong Yuan. I don't know how Liu Yan met Zhang Ren, after getting along, he directly let Zhang Ren lead the army to fight, and in the battle of killing Ren Qi, Zhang Ren made Liu Yan's generals dare not despise Zhang Ren. And Huang Quan, a Brazilian who is one of the earliest people to win over after Liu Yan entered Shu, is now an indispensable adviser under Liu Yan's account.
After hearing that Ren Qi was killed by Liu Yan, Jia Long was restless day and night, thinking that a small Fucheng 5,000 soldiers and horses temporarily gathered could confront Liu Yan's army. Jia Long was restless and Zhao Qian was no better, he shouldn't have taken refuge in Dong Zhuo, and he was assigned such a task, Zhao Qian was a timid person, he didn't have much ambition, he just wanted to be a big and small official, greedy for a little money. I didn't expect such a field to fall now. Zhao Qian thought about it, no, you have to go, don't go to trouble anymore, but Zhao Qian's actions made Jia Long angry. Jia Long thought to himself, what did Zhao Qian say at the beginning, but now if he wants to run, there is no door, and Jia Long, who was angry, beheaded Zhao Qian on the grounds that Dong was a thief's lackey. As soon as Jia Long killed Zhao Qian, he got the news that Chen Lin had led his troops into Shu, regretted it, and hurriedly sent someone to contact Chen Lin.
Chen Lin was still nervous when he arrived at Zitong, after all, although Chen Lin was somewhat sure that Du Wei would surrender to him, but what if, what would happen to the 6,000 Hanzhong army, only to attack. When he arrived in Zitong, Du Wei went out of the city for ten miles to greet him, which made Chen Lin fall into his heart, and when he talked about Ren An, he learned that Ren An actually supported him, Jia Xu and others were excited. In this way, the 6,000 Hanzhong army and Chen Lin's guards were stationed in Zitong and temporarily settled.
