Chapter 255: Bashu is a foregone conclusion, Guan Yu moves
Chengdu, reborn in chaos.
In the face of the continuous attacks on Jin, Liu Zhang, who had already been hit hard, finally couldn't stand the temptation and might of Li Hui, the envoy of the Chu army, and accepted the surrender of the Chu army!
Liu Zhang's incompetence is almost known to the world, but as everyone knows, what Liu Zhang cares about most is not his own territory, but his beautiful life; Perhaps the biggest reason is his cowardice and kindness! In later generations, he could surrender to Liu Bei because he couldn't bear the death and injury of the people, and now he can also surrender directly to Chu because of Liu Xiu's strength...
Early in the morning, under the south gate of Chengdu.
Liu Zhang had already waited here with hundreds of officials early in the morning, and his Chu army under his command.
Looking at the mighty Chu army and Yu Jin, who was constantly approaching, Liu Zhang bowed very respectfully and said, "Zhang, I've seen the governor of the capital...!" ”
"How can it be! …… How can it be! Yu Jin quickly dismounted, took three steps and made two steps, stepped forward to help Liu Zhang, and then gave the same salute and said gently: "Old man Yu Jin, please meet Liu Yizhou!" Liu Yizhou is a relative of the Han family, how can he worship the old man! …”
"How dare you, how dare you, our father and son, who have been guarding Yizhou for decades, have not brought stability and peace to the people, but have brought disasters and deaths, which is really a sin! Liu Zhang hurriedly waved his hand, not even daring.
"The disasters of war and chaos are all the fault of the old man, and after a hundred generations, the old man is willing to bear it!" Yu Jin bowed down again, and said sonorously: "However, for the sake of the world, I hope Liu Yizhou can be more considerate of my lord's heart!" …”
Zhang understands that it is Zhang's incompetence that cannot give the people of Shuzhong a good life, and makes them worry about their safety all the time...... Alas..."Liu Zhang shook his head again, sighed and said, reminiscing.
After a while, Liu Zhang woke up from his memories and hurriedly said, "Yu Lao, please come in quickly." There is a resting place in the city for the general and others to rest...! ”
"Liu Yizhou is polite...!" Between Yu Jin's demeanor, he was old, humble and polite, without the slightest arrogant attitude of a victor, and with Liu Zhang's entry into Chengdu, he was also half a step slower than Liu Zhang.
…
"Liu Yizhou, I don't know if the notice has been sent to all cities and counties?!" Yu Jin asked Liu Zhang, who was half of his body, as he walked.
"It's done. ...... was sent" Liu Zhang's words were still a little nervous, and he said repeatedly: "The notice will be sent to all parts of Shuzhong two days earlier, so that they can hand over the military power when the Chu army is outdated..."
"The old man thanked Liu Yizhou," Yu Jin heard this, and said again: "I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are in Chengdu now?!" ”
"There are still more than 30,000 soldiers and horses," Liu Zhang shook his head in distress, just a few days of fighting, Chengdu suffered heavy losses. "In addition, there are more than 10,000 seriously wounded soldiers in the city. It was Zhang's incompetence that caused the people under his rule to suffer such heavy losses..."
Liu Zhang had a sad face again.
"Liu Yizhou is kind, Yu is not as good..."Yu Jin said with admiration. continued: "Yu will definitely treat the soldiers and people of Shu well...!" ”
In order to make Liu Zhang feel more at ease, Yu Jin further explained: "Presumably, the changes in Nanzhong in recent years, Liu Yizhou has also seen it, and the land of Bashu will definitely be better than that!" …”
"This is what my Lord wants! … Old. Please rest assured..."
"In addition, my lord will move to Xiangyang in the near future, and it will be as brilliant as Luoyang and Chang'an in the past. You can also move to Xiangyang, and my lord's guild will prepare everything for you!? Yu Jin looked at Liu Zhang and said: "As for Xun Gongzi and other generals, if they are willing, they can be in the position of any general under the old man's command, and when they have made meritorious service, they will be rewarded separately after reporting to the lord, how about it?!" ”
"That's it," Liu Zhang only thought for a moment, and then said, "I'm tired that Chu Hou arranged it for me...!" ”
"I wonder what the situation of the soldiers, horses, grain and grass in the rest of the cities is? Yu Jin continued to ask.
"Soldiers and horses, grain and grass everywhere..."Yu Jin, Liu Zhang, and those civil and military who have been willing to serve Liu Xiu, have been busy for several days, and they have been busy arranging personnel in Shuzhong, reorganizing soldiers and horses, and issuing orders.
……
Under Langzhong City, after Guan Yubing arrived, he actively tempted, coerced, and coerced Meng Da, and even moved out of Meng Da's best friend Fazheng, and finally really let Meng Da surrender in Kaicheng...
In this way, Guan Yu gathered more than 10,000 people, and after a few days of army formation in Langzhong, he sent troops again! And this time, his goal is to connect Hanzhong and Shuzhong that is a vital road - the Golden Bull Road!
The reason why Bashu is called 'Yizhou Pass, Fertile Thousands of Miles, and the Land of Abundance' is mainly because of its offensive and defensive advantages in ancient times! The west and south of Bashu are the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and the mountains and mountains in the south of the country, respectively, and there are not many crises, so the threats faced by Shu mainly come from two directions, namely the east and the north.
Jingzhou enters Bashu in the east, and there is only one way, which is the Yangtze River waterway.
Bashu to the north, is the rice warehouse and the two mountains of Daba, beyond these two mountains, is the Hanzhong Basin, in the north of Hanzhong, across the Qinling Mountains, is Guanzhong. Between it and Hanzhong, no matter what dynasty or generation, there are only four roads! In addition to the two roads in Ba County and Yinping Trail, one of the most important roads is: from Yangping Pass - Micang Mountain - Baishui Pass - Jiameng Pass - Jiange - Zitong - Mianzhu - Luocheng, and finally directly to Chengdu!
Among them, except for Micang Mountain, the rest are all dangerous and important places, and soldiers must fight!
Guan Yu, who is located between Zitong and Jiange, and in Langzhong, Bajun, is to go west first, and then go north, and seize the three important places on the road from Jiange to Yangping Pass.
In this way, he went all the way north to Hanzhong, and for Liu Zhang, who was cowardly and loved the people, it was rare to deploy 10,000 soldiers and horses in the three passes of Jiange, Jiameng, and Baishui Pass, and attack 30,000 soldiers and horses, which were guarded by Li Yan, Leng Bao, and Deng Xian!
…
After Guan Yu recuperated in Langzhong for a few days, he immediately took the newly surrendered general Meng Da and 10,000 troops to take the Sword Pavilion directly!
The sword gate in the Sword Pavilion is closed, the peak is like a sword, the gate is like a door, the absolute trend of 'one man is not open', even if the army of 100,000 may not be able to please it...
"I don't know if General Meng is familiar with Li Yan, the guard of the Sword Pavilion?!" Guan Yu looked at the tiger directly, stroked his beautiful hair, and asked Meng Da without a smile.
"Li Yan was originally under Liu Jingzhou, he was the commander of Zigui County, and he only joined the lord a year ago..."Meng Da seemed to realize that his words were wrong, and immediately paused, looked at Guan Yu, and continued: "Invested in Liu Yizhou's command, so the last general is not familiar with him!" …”
"It is said that when Li Yan served in Jingbei, he had an excellent reputation, and Liu Biao also valued it very much, both civil and martial arts, and he was a great talent!" Meng Da recounted while thinking: "However, he seems to be good at the law, and Xiaozhi once talked to him about this at length!" (To be continued.) )
