Chapter 155: Li Teping Bashu
After receiving the appointment of the crown prince, he quickly rushed to Guanzhong, saw Yongzhou assassin Shi Jiangtong, ordered 20,000 soldiers and horses, and went straight to Hanzhong.
As for Zhao Diao, who seized Yizhou, he was a waste of firewood, but he was afraid of killing the court officials, but after killing Geng Teng, he was unguarded and thought he was safe. often set up a banquet at home, and drank with Changshi Du Shu, Sima Zhang Cang, Yamen Xu Yi, Fei Yuan, etc.
After three rounds of drinking, the tooth keeper Xu Yi thought he was Zhao Diao's confidant, and said to Zhao Diao: "I miss me Xu Ti, I have followed Ming Gong for many years, and I am only a tooth keeper so far, can Ming Gong promote me to Badong to be a supervisor?" ”
Zhao Diao was about to agree, but Changshi Du Shu and Sima Zhang Cang said together: "Ming Gong can't!" ”
Xu Yi's face was angry, and he asked, "Why not?" ”
Du Shu said: "Although Xu Yi has followed the Ming Duke for many years, he has not made any achievements, such as the sudden promotion from the Yamen general to the prison army, I am afraid that I will not be able to convince the public." ”
Xu Yi took advantage of the wine and roared angrily: "Now that Ming Gongxiong lives in Yizhou, the imperial court has nothing to do. Can you convince the public, isn't it a sentence from Ming Gong? ”
Zhang Cang said: "Du Changshi and I are thinking about the long-term of Ming Gong. If Xu Yi really wants to be a prisoner, he might as well show his real skills. ”
Xu Yi stood up, drew his sword, and stabbed at Zhang Cang while shouting: "I'll let you see if I have real skills!" ”
As soon as Xu Yi's words fell, Zhang Cang was already pierced in the chest. When Du Shu saw it, she panicked and couldn't speak: "You, you, so bold!" ”
Xu Yi didn't stop doing anything, drew his sword and stabbed Du Shu. Du Shu didn't have time to dodge, and was also stabbed to death by Xu Yi with a sword.
At this time, Zhao Diao was already a little drunk, and he didn't seem to understand what was going on, and was about to drink to stop, but who knew that Du Shu and Zhang Cang's subordinates who were standing outside Zhao Diao's door learned that Du Shu and Zhang Cang were killed by Xu Yi, and hurriedly came.
Zhao Diao faced everything that happened in front of him, and he didn't know what to do, but Fei Yuan hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, stop, this matter is purely a matter of Xu Yi, Du Shu, and Zhang Cang, and it has nothing to do with others, and everyone must not hurt each other because of them!" ”
Everyone stopped, waiting for Zhao Diao to speak. Zhao Diao said: "This matter has been closed and will not be pursued." Fei Yuan was appointed as a long history, and Fei Yuan and Qianwei were ordered to guard Li Bi and supervise Chang Jun to lead 10,000 horses to block the northern road to prevent the imperial court from attacking. ”
On the second day, Fei Yuan set out from Chengdu, Li Bi and Chang Jun set out from Qianwei, and led a total of 10,000 horses to Mianzhu, and arrived in Mianzhu after a few days, and stationed in Shiting (East Luojiang Ferry, Shifang County, Sichuan Province) in Mianzhu (Deyang County, Sichuan Province).
When Li Teh learned that Fei Yuan's troops had arrived in Mianzhu, he hurriedly gathered everyone to discuss countermeasures.
Niu Hong, who joined the army with the army, said: "Zhao Diao sent Fei Yuan and other commanders to come, and what he was worried about must be the army sent by the imperial court, and Fei Yuan's troops were to block the road to Shu in the north. However, Zhao Diaoyi guards the dog's ears, and Fei Yuan and the others are just mediocre people. After he led the army to Mianzhu, he didn't stop, and only sent a small force to reinforce Jiange Pass. ”
"This is the time for our army to take the Sword Pavilion, and the Sword Pavilion Pass is the passage for the Guanzhong to enter Shuzhong. For now, the general only needs to be noisy, and the noise is not as loud as the noise. And in the dark, the adults can send thousands of elite soldiers to attack the Sword Pavilion from the small path! After taking the Sword Pavilion, the rebels will be shocked, and our army can take advantage of the victory to attack Mianzhu! ”
"My lord, now that Zhao Diao has confronted the imperial court, all parts of Shuzhong know that the imperial court will send troops to attack Zhao Diao. Shuzhong is a time when people are panicking, so if we take the initiative to attack Zhao Diao, and then count his crimes, and win the battle, we will definitely be able to shake Zhao Diao's rule in Shuzhong. Now that Fei Yuan and others have been stationed in Mianzhu, please send men and horses quickly, and attack Fei Yuan while Fei Yuan's men and horses are not firmly established, and the opportunity can not be lost. ”
Sure enough, as Niu Hong expected when he joined the army, the rebels were really careless, and they were known as one man, and the Sword Pavilion that was not opened by the imperial army was taken down by the imperial army in one fell swoop. Jiange County is located at the northern edge of the Sichuan Basin, guarding the Jianmen Pass, which is the passage connecting Xishu and Guanzhong, and its strategic position is very important.
Knowing that the Sword Pavilion was taken, Li Teh was very happy, he quickly gathered the generals, and said to everyone: "The time has come to pacify Shudi, and the general will order: Tonight, the soldiers will be divided into three ways, so that one group of men and horses will attack Fei Yuan's left side, and another team will attack Fei Yuan's right side, and the last team will cut off its way of origin, and all departments will act according to the order, and they will not hesitate to set off immediately." ”
Niu Hong offered another plan: "My lord, if you attack Fei Yuan at night, you should attack with fire." ”
Li Teh thought so, so the three people prepared to stop and give the order to march.
Besides, Fei Yuan, Li Bi, Chang Jun and other commanders were stationed in Shiting, and they were drinking in the Chinese military tent at night.
Fei Yuan said: "I heard that the imperial court has sent troops into Shu, I will wait for tonight to camp here, and set off quickly tomorrow morning, rush to the Sword Pavilion, and block the main road into Shu." ”
Li Bi said: "The road into Shu is steep, and it is impossible for the imperial soldiers and horses to arrive so quickly, so there is no need to panic in Changshi." ”
Chang Jun also said: "Shu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, plus I wait for 10,000 horses, why not be afraid of the imperial court's soldiers and horses?" ”
Fei Yuan continued to drink, and did not order the soldiers to strengthen the fortifications.
At midnight, Lee's three armies arrived at the designated place and formed a three-sided encirclement of Fei Yuan's troops, leaving only the north road to escape. At this time, Fei Yuan and all the soldiers were asleep, defenseless. The three men and horses set the fire together, and the wind was rising at this time, and the fire was getting stronger and stronger.
Fei Yuan and the others woke up in a dream, and they didn't know who was coming, and the order could not be transmitted, so they could only be busy running for their lives. The soldiers were uncommanded, chaotic, and died ten out of ten.
Leet's army won a great victory, so they joined forces. Li Teh and others discussed the next action plan. Li Teh asked: "Now that our army has won a complete victory, what should we do next?" ”
Niu Hongdao, who joined the army: "Our army won the first battle, and the morale is booming. ”
Li nodded and said: "It's exactly what I want, but I'm afraid Chengdu has a strong army." ”
Niu Hong said: "Zhao Diao has no brains, in order to guard against the army of the imperial court, he has handed over the main team to Fei Yuan. Moreover, Zhao Diao's henchmen Xu Yi, Du Shu, and Zhang Cang have died due to infighting, and there is no one available, and the only thing that needs to be guarded against is the elite of the homeless people in Yan Shi's hands. However, as long as we take Chengdu and then go to appease him in the name of the imperial court, we will definitely succeed immediately. ”
Yan Shi, the leader of the exiles, did regard Zhao Diao as his lord at first, but unfortunately later found out that Zhao Diao was a straw bag, coupled with the pressure of the imperial army, which made Yan Shi's mind change slightly. In his opinion, the court will win this battle, and Zhao Diao will definitely die.
After seeing the situation clearly, Yan Shi did not contribute to the next war, and when it came to the critical moment, it was better to defect to the imperial court than to be a thief. Therefore, when the imperial army attacked Jiange and Mianzhu and other places, the elite army of exiles under the command of Yan Shi did not move at all.
Li Teh and others had already decided, and immediately issued an order, and the troops were still divided into three routes, and they were killed in Chengdu at the same time.
Besides, Zhao Diao learned that Li Te's army was killed in three ways, and he only hated himself for having no soldiers and no generals, so he decided to flee Chengdu overnight with his wife and children and the housekeeper Zhu Zhu to Guangdu (southwest of Huayang County, Sichuan Province). The housekeeper Zhu Zhu asked Zhao Diao: "Master, now that Li Teh is coming in three ways, we have no way out, how to go to Guangdu?" ”
Zhao Diao was anxious and annoyed at this time, and scolded Zhu Zhu: "I've been raising you for so many years, are you going to surrender to Li Te?" ”
After Zhu Zhu heard this, he was also very unhappy in his heart, but he had to say: "Master, Li Teh is killing from land, it seems that we can only take the water route, I don't know if there are ships this night?" ”
Zhao Diao scolded again: "If you don't go and find me quickly, if you can't find the ship, I'll kill you first!" ”
At this time, Zhu Zhu thought that Xu Yi, who had followed Zhao Di for many years, not only did he not have the opportunity to improve, but finally ended up with no place to die, and he heard that Li Teh and others were all elites in Guanzhong, so he germinated the idea of defecting. In the face of Zhao Diao's coercion and intimidation, Zhu Zhu had no choice but to find a ship.
Zhu Zhu found a small boat by the river outside the city, and it happened that this waterway could lead to Guangdu. Zhu Zhu hurriedly informed Zhao Diao, and Zhao Diao's family followed Zhu Zhu to Guangdu by boat.
When he arrived in Guangdu, Zhu Zhu asked again: "Master, what should we do now?" ”
Zhao Diao didn't sleep well all night, and yelled at Zhu Zhu: "How did you become a housekeeper?" Why don't you find a place for us to stay? ”
At this time, Zhu Zhu thought to himself, Zhao Diao, Zhao Diao, you are already a lost dog, and what kind of prestige do you have. Zhu Zhu planned to leave Zhao Diao to surrender to the imperial court, but he was afraid that Li Teh would think that he was Zhao Diao's person and would not accept him. Zhu Zhu thought of a way and decided to kill Zhao Diao and then surrender, and the court would definitely pardon his crimes.
At this time, Zhao Diao saw that Zhu Zhu didn't go to find a place to live, and shouted: "You slave, why don't you go quickly?" ”
Zhu Zhu was furious at this time, pulled out the short knife he was carrying, and stabbed Zhao Diao while scolding: "You are dying, what kind of prestige are you playing?" Look, today is your death! After that, he stabbed Zhao Diao to death, cut off Zhao Diao's head, wrapped it in cloth, and went to Chengdu to join Li Te.
Besides, Li Teh captured Chengdu without difficulty, and ordered: those who surrender will not die, and those who do not surrender will be killed. Zhao Diao's other elder Shi Yuan Qia and the protector Jiang Fa refused to surrender, and Li Teh beheaded them. The tooth gate generals Wang Jiao and Li Ji surrendered to Li Te. Not surprisingly, Yan Shi also surrendered to the imperial court.
Then Li Teh asked people to look for Zhao Diao, but he didn't know his whereabouts, at this time, Zhu Zhu carried Zhao Diao's head to vote, and Li Teh really pardoned the other party's crime and rewarded the other party with a large amount of money.
In April 300 A.D., after learning the news that Western Shu was pacified, the imperial court appointed Luo Shang as the assassin of Yizhou, and Li Teh was the governor of Shuzhong to take charge of the military power of Western Shu.
A large number of commoners and displaced people were allocated land to be resettled, and in the following month or two, there were strong rebellions in Shu from time to time, but under the strong suppression of Li Te, the rebellion in Shu was quickly quelled. According to later research, more than 30 families were destroyed in this rebellion, and tens of thousands of people were beheaded.
After this chaos, since the end of the Han Dynasty, the Western Shu family has its own lineage, and the situation of reading power outside the imperial court has been completely broken, coupled with the continuous strengthening of the management of Shuzhong by the imperial court, and the completion of the road leading to the outside in Shuzhong, so that Shuzhong and the local ties are close, and it can no longer form a separatist force.
