In September of the sixth year of the founding year, when Cao Cao returned to the division to break through Li Dao's army and enter Wancheng, Yuan Shao also pacified Qingzhou, was managing the government and the people, and collected soldiers and horses.

At this time, news came from Guanzhong.

Luo Zheng mobilized 50,000 troops into Hanzhong and wanted to go south to Xichuan.

When the news came out, Xichuan was shaken, and Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, urgently mobilized all kinds of soldiers and horses, stationed heavy troops in Jiameng and Jiange Erguan, and ordered his henchman Zhao Wei to lead 50,000 towns to guard the important places in Langzhong to prevent the Xiliang army from entering Sichuan.

For a while, the eyes of the world were all about this war.

Not only Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are concerned, but even Liu Biao, who is in a hurry, and Sun Ce, who is in a desperate battle with Liu Bei, are also paying attention to this war, because this war is very likely to affect the general trend of the world.

Since Luo Zheng pacified Guanzhong, he rarely launched large-scale military wars.

As for sweeping the Eight Hundred Miles of Qiang Yuan and Mobei, it might as well be enough to affect the general trend of the world, after all, the Eight Hundred Miles of Qiang Yuan and Mobei are border wastelands, even if they are defeated, at most they will grab some slaves and cattle and sheep, which is not as great as the influence of Xichuan.

Luo Zheng is already one of the strongest princes in the world, and he has a lot of money and food under his rule, if he lays down Xichuan again and solves the shortcomings of insufficient population, his strength will inevitably expand sharply.

Now is not the first year of the first peace, at that time there were many princes in the world, the situation was still unclear, and it was not too difficult to unite, and now after several years of melee, there are only a few princes left, everyone wants to take the stage to compete for the deer, although there is often cooperation between each other, but it is also mutual wariness, and it is difficult to unite again.

At this time, even if Yuan Shao and Cao Cao want to join forces, solve Luo Zheng first and then fight the victory, they are afraid that it will be difficult to believe each other, and everyone must be wary of whether the other party will join forces with Luo Zheng to bite him.

Moreover, Cao Cao was busy attacking Nanyang, and Yuan Shao was also actively preparing to march into the state, so how could he have time to pay attention to Luo Zheng.

Not to mention Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Sun Ce in Jiangdong, especially Sun Ce is also ambitious, the more chaotic the north, the happier Sun Ce is, I wish the princes in the north would fight you to the death, how could they be involved.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao both felt the pressure, and while seizing the time to arrange, they paid attention to the situation in Xichuan.

At the end of September, the war in Jingnan changed.

Yuzhang Shanyue rebelled, and Sun Ce hurriedly led the army back to Jiangdong.

Liu Biao got the news, and immediately sent a letter to Liu Bei to lead the army north to Nanyang, but Liu Bei's army had not yet arrived, Cao Cao lured Liu Biao's army out of Wancheng with the strategy of luring the snake out of the hole, and the eight-way ambush soldiers did their best to kill Liu Biao.

When Liu Biao fled by road, he accidentally withdrew from his horse and died in the chaos.

Cao Cao Fu led the army to break through Wancheng, and after a short rest, he immediately raised troops to the south, wanting to take advantage of the situation to capture Xiangyang.

Liu Bei led the army to Xinye, heard that Wancheng had been broken by Cao's army, Liu Biao also died in the chaos of the army, immediately in Xinye garrison did not advance, Cao Cao personally led the army to arrive, and Liu Bei fought more than ten battles, all failed to win, and then stalemate.

Xu Shu offered Liu Bei a plan to appease the Jingzhou scholars, and Liu Biao accepted his words, so he ordered Jian Yong to go to Xiangyang to lobby the Jingzhou scholars.

Unexpectedly, the Jingzhou scholars led by Cai, Zhang, Kuai, and Wang wanted to support Liu Biao's second son Liu Cong to succeed him as the king of Chu.

Jian Yong's lobbying efforts in many ways were fruitless, so he had to go back to Xinye to see Liu Bei.

It happened that Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi was afraid of being killed, and escaped from Xiangyang to Liu Bei's army, asking Liu Bei to take refuge, Xu Shu then offered a plan in the name of the Qing monarch's side, supported Liu Qi to succeed the king of Chu, and returned to Xiangyang to settle Jingzhou.

Liu Bei was in a hurry to attack Cao Cao's army, so he put the matter aside for the time being.

In October, 50,000 troops from Guanzhong gathered in Hanzhong, and Liu Zhang also mobilized almost all the soldiers and horses in Xichuan to the area of Jiange and Langzhong, so that the hinterland of Xichuan was empty, and even Chengdu only had 2,000 soldiers and horses left.

After the Xichuan army was transferred, Luo Zheng ordered the general Yan Xing to lead 10,000 cavalry, accompanied by Zhang Song, from Wudu to the Yinping trail, the army only brought half a month of dry food, on the mountain trail for hundreds of miles, suddenly appeared in the Chengdu Plain, bypassing the cities along the road of Mianzhu and Fuxian, and drove directly to the outside of Chengdu.

Fortunately, the defenders of Chengdu have been strictly guarding against it and have not been successfully attacked.

And on the same night, the west gate of Chengdu caught fire, a group of wealthy private soldiers suddenly rebelled, the West Gate defenders were taken by surprise, took advantage of the situation to open the west gate of the city, and led 10,000 Xiliang cavalry into the city.

Liu Zhang and his family couldn't escape, so they were captured alive by Yan Xingsheng.

None of the Yiying Shi clan gates in the city could escape, and all of them were blocked in the city by the Xiliang cavalry.

When the news spread, Xichuan was in chaos.

The sword pavilion guard Ling Bao surrendered as soon as possible, Luo Zhengqin led 20,000 Xiliang elites out of Hanzhong to the south, and the remaining 30,000 new troops came out for a walk, and then returned to the Chang'an camp to continue training.

Jia Meng's guard Liu Xuan was Liu Zhang's confidant, and in desperation, he drew his sword and killed himself.

The adjutant general did not arrive before the army arrived, so he ordered the army to open the city and offer the pass.

Luo Zhengjun went to Jiameng Pass to appease the local people.

In mid-October, Zhao Wei failed to rebel and was killed by his generals, and 50,000 Sichuan troops mutinied.

In November, Luo Zheng led the army to the city capital, Zhang Song, Fei Shi, Wang Lian and others led the Xichuan Shi clan out of the city ten miles to greet them, Luo Zheng stationed in Chengdu immediately advertised, appeased the Xichuan Shi clan and the people, and wanted to do their best to stabilize the situation in Xichuan.

Zhang Song, Wang Lian, Fei Shi and others went their separate ways non-stop to lobby the Xichuan scholars.

From October to the first month of the seventh year of Jian'an, a small-scale coup d'état was set off in various counties in Xichuan, and the power of Dongzhou scholars, who followed Liu Yan into Sichuan and was appointed after Liu Zhang's succession, was uprooted by the local scholars of Xichuan.

The land of Xichuan was full of people, and people were panicked for a while.

It was not until February of the seventh year of Jian'an that the situation gradually stabilized.

In this process, Luo Zheng only sat in Chengdu and let the Xichuan Shi clan do it.

Xichuan is different from Guanzhong and Liangzhou, where the power of the Shi clan gate valve is withering, Xichuan is the world of the Shi clan gate valve, and without the support of the Shi clan gate valve, there will only be rebellions in the end, and no one can gain a firm foothold here.

Without the support of the Xichuan Shi clan gatekeepers, Luo Zheng would have been overwhelmed by the continuous rebellions in the counties and mired in war. If you want to get the full support of the Xichuan scholars, the only way to let the local Xichuan scholars regain their position on the political stage.

And the forces that Dongzhou Shi painstakingly managed were uprooted by the Xichuan Shi clan, which became inevitable.

Chengdu, Luo Zheng's temporary official residence.

Jia Xu handed a list to Luo Zheng and said, "My lord, this is a joint performance by the Xichuan Shi clan. ”

Luo Zheng took the list, and Xinzhen saw it from the beginning to the end, and then put it aside.

This is a list of recommended personnel for the Taishou of the Xichuan counties, after the power of the Dongzhou Shi was pulled up by Lianji, most of the Taishou of the Xichuan counties were vacant, and the Xichuan Shi clan took refuge in Luo Zheng, in order to let the local Shi clan of the Xichuan clan return to the political stage.

Luo Zheng didn't nod, but asked, "What does Wen He think?" ”

Jia Xu pondered for a moment before he said: "Stabilizing the situation in Xichuan is a top priority, which is also what the lord has promised. ”

Luo Zheng said 'um' and said, "Just according to the text and his opinion!" ”

After a pause, he muttered: "The power of the gate valve of the Shi clan is really not to be underestimated, in just three months, these Xichuan Shi clan have controlled the situation, if it is really a dynasty that is easy to change, the gate valve is difficult to destroy." The Xichuan scholars want to go to the political stage, and the general does not object, but more than 100,000 Sichuan troops must not continue to stay in Xichuan, except for the necessary remaining soldiers and horses, the rest of the Sichuan troops are all sent to Guanzhong Tuntian. ”

Jia Xu nodded, everything else can be retreated, only the military power must be firmly grasped in his hands, otherwise how can he control Xichuan.

Luo Zheng said again: "Wen He has been observing the generals of Xichuan these days, who can be useful?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Zhang Ren and Yan Yan are brave and strategic, and they can be of great use. ”

"Zhang Ren, Yan Yan!"

Luo Zhengnian muttered a few sentences, and then asked, "How many soldiers and horses should Xichuan leave behind?" ”

Jia Xu thought for a while and said: "The Sichuan people are xenophobic, and the hearts of the people in Xichuan are undecided, and I think that if the lord is transferred to Xichuan at this time, there will not be too good results, so it is better to leave part of the Sichuan army to guard the passes everywhere." Sword Pavilion and Langzhong are not enough, but the east of Ba County is the gateway to Xichuan, and it needs to be able to defend it to protect Xichuan. ”

Luo Zhengmu pondered, and said after a while: "That's it, just follow Wenhe's words." ”

Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and was afraid that the lord would be near-profit, so he arched his hand and said: "The lord is wise!" ”

Luo Zheng waved his hand and said: "General Ben can let the Sichuan army continue to guard Xichuan, but Bajun is the gateway to Xichuan, if you continue to let the Sichuan people guard it, wouldn't it be necessary for General Ben to pin the safety of Xichuan on the loyalty and commitment of the Xichuan clan." Other generals can tolerate and make concessions, but this is not the only way to do it, the Xichuan Gate must be guarded by henchmen in the future, and this general can rest assured. ”

Jia Xu nodded, he also agreed with this, and asked, "Who does the lord want to guard Ba County?" ”

Luo Zhengdao: "Does Wenhe have a suitable candidate?" ”

Jia Xu thought for a while, and then said: "I thought that General Xu Huang could guard the Xichuan Gate. ”

"Xu Huang?"

Luo Zheng changed his mind, and said happily: "Xu Huang is indeed the most suitable person, according to Wen He's opinion." ”

"The lord is wise!"

Jia Xu complimented and said: "But I think that since the lord has given the Sichuan people great freedom, why not show leniency again." General Xu Huang guards the belly of the fish to protect Xichuan without loss, but Zhang Ren and Yan Yan are quite famous in Xichuan, why not take Yan Yan as the Bajun Taishou, and then take Zhang Ren as the general to guard the White Emperor, showing his grace, so that the Xichuan clan can rest assured, Yan and Zhang Erjiang will also inevitably return to their hearts, and Xichuan can be as safe as an iron bucket. ”

Luo Zheng pondered for a long time, and weighed it carefully for a while before agreeing to Jia Xu's suggestion, "That's it, just according to the text and the opinion!" ”R1152
