Meng Chang descended from the chapter
After Kuizhou, Liu Guangyi will not have any big battles along the way, and the only suspense is who will arrive in Chengdu first in the competition with Wang Quanbin. But this comparison is a little unfair to Wang Quanbin, because they encountered a small challenge along the way: the road is gone.
At present, Wang Quanbin is walking the Golden Bull Road. This road has a long history, it was repaired thousands of years ago, when Qin Huiwen of the Warring States period made up a story of a golden bull to coax the king of Shu to repair the road of death in Shu at that time in order to seize the rich Sichuan land. At present, the Shu soldiers are defeated and use a trick: burn the plank road! Shi Yande's mouth is estimated to have been opened, and he said something spiritual. This Shu Dao really turned into ashes, ascended to the sky, and became the Heavenly Road.
Chengdu is not a Rome where all roads can be passed, there are only a few of them, and there are still many people who can walk the army and transport military rations, and there are even fewer who can't get together a hand. Now, the main road is gone. However, on the other hand, Chengdu is not Huashan after all, there is only one road.
Wang Quanbin wants to take Luochuan Road into Shu. This road is three points more dangerous than the Taurus Road. Kang Yanze came out to dissuade "Luochuan Road is dangerous, it is better to divide troops and repair the stack." Divide up and go hand in hand, and then join forces in Shendu" Wang Quanbin adopted. So he led half of the people from Luochuan Road into Shu. And the deputy marshal Cui Yanjin rebuilt the plank road according to the original road.
Plank road, that is the ancestors in the original no road between the rock cliff wall hard drilling, inserted into the wooden beams, laid wooden planks, and then with oblique pillars to support, only out of nothing to make a veritable "heavenly road" a real miracle road. And once burned, it regains its original appearance as a cliff. But can the plank road burn down? The main and most time-consuming work of the plank road is to punch holes. You can burn the planks and beams, but you can't burn the holes, and with those holes, the boardwalk is easy to repair.
At this time, the long-awaited Houshu Zhuge Liang Wang Zhaoyuan finally appeared. He and the prison army Zhao Chongtao sat in Lizhou. In the north of the city, the terrain is dangerous, and the large and small Mantian Village is set up. I feel that this is foolproof, and the plank road has been destroyed, the enemy can't fly without wings, as long as you hold on for a while, the enemy will know how to leave. But he didn't expect Song Bing to be so brainless and start repairing the plank road. He didn't even expect that the comrades in front of him had already sent enough food to the enemy. Of course, the last thing he expected was that the enemy construction team would be so fast. In just a few days, the destroyed plank road was repaired.
The situation became too fast, and the enemy rushed up and ate his little mantianzhai in one bite. Another group of enemies also rushed over from Luochuan Road, and the two enemy forces were converging in Shendu. The next day, he ate his big mantianzhai in one bite. Wang Zhaoyuan panicked, and hurriedly ordered the whale-faced army to go to stop it. However, the enemy just ate big and small steamed buns in a row, and his appetite was big, and Wang Zhuge was defeated three times in three battles. Wang Zhaoyuan was furious. Haven't the northerners heard of Zhuge Liang? Wuhou only attacked but not defended in his life, so why don't I let my successor inherit the sage and taste what it's like to attack? The bloody facts made Wang Zhaoyuan understand that Zhuge Kongming was not something that everyone could do. Now the entire Shu Kingdom no longer expects him to be Zhuge Liang, but only hopes that he can be Jiang Wei back and defend the peerless Heavenly Danger Sword Gate that has never been broken head-on before.
On the 30th, Wang Zhaoyuan decided to stay in Qingshan without fear of no firewood, and led his troops to retreat to Jianmen. But he left in too much hurry and forgot something important, he didn't burn all the firewood in Lizhou City, and the 800,000 grains in the city were all laughed at by the Song army. Wang Zhuge who fled into the Sword Gate was frightened for a while. This is the world's most dangerous sword gate! At that time, Jiang Wei led 30,000 Shu soldiers to block Zhonghui's 100,000 Wei soldiers here, forcing Deng Ai to roll all the way from the slope of the Yinping Trail to the city of Chengdu, and Liu Chan finally surrendered. This is the natural danger of the natural danger, the most rearly barrier of the Shu Kingdom, and it is also the last ray of life that God has given to the Shu people of all dynasties. Prior to this, the Sword Gate Pass had never been lost on the front. But great records are left to "great" people to break.
At the end of the year, Wang Quanbin will send someone back to Beijing to report the latest battle situation to the emperor in the rear. History says that when Zhao Kuangyin received Wang Quanbin's battle report, he was sitting in the palace lecture hall. The winter snow is flying outside, and the spring is warm in the hall. The emperor was surrounded by a small room with felt, and a charcoal fire was lit in the middle. The emperor was dressed in a sable fur and a sable hat, and sat upright. Hearing the good news he was looking forward to, Zhao Kuangyin let out a long breath, suddenly stood up, and took off the mink fur and hat on his body, "I am dressed like this, and my body is still cold." Nian Xi Zheng general rushed to the frost hail, how can he be worthy of this" so that the fast horse day and night to give Wang Quanbin with mink Qiu, Quan Bin to weep.
Since ancient times, there are natural dangers that are not enough to rely on, and the famous saying that Xiongguan is irresistible, and the reputation of Jianmen Pass is too great, and I don't know how many people have been thinking about how to break it. On the first day of the first month of the 3rd year of Qiande (965), Wang Quanbin held a military meeting. Some Shu troops who were familiar with the local mountain terrain revealed the Jianmen Pass: there was a narrow path in the southeast of the Jianmen Pass called Su Jing. The Shu people set up a fence on the other side of Jiangxi, but they can cross it, and then walk 20 miles south to Qingqiangdian, and you can go up to the official road. In this way, you can go around to the back of the Sword Gate.
Alas! Shu Road is difficult, but why are there so many side doors? Wang Quanbin is good again, when he heard that there was a trail to Su, he immediately came to the road, and he went to it. But it's too risky. In case Wang Zhaoyuan set up an ambush or something halfway, wouldn't Wang Zhaoyuan become Jiang Wei? Kang Yanze said, "Shu has lost several battles, and he has the courage to seize it, so he can attack in a hurry." When you come to the Su Narrow Path, the coach can't do it on his own, and he can send a biased general. In Qingqiangdian, the fencing gate with the army, Zhao Yuan and others will be captured, "It's not impossible for the soldiers to be dangerous, but it's not all dangerous." Wang Quanbin listened to persuasion. Ordered the pioneer Shi Yande to divide his troops and come to Su Lu, and he lined up with elite soldiers, and only after Shi Yande arrived at the pass, he could attack from the north and south.
Shi Yande easily arrived at the Qingqiang store. But he discovered a strange thing: Wang Zhuge was no longer in Jianmen Pass! Perhaps he also knew that the danger of the Sword Gate was unstoppable. Therefore, he only ordered a partial general to guard at Jianmen Pass, and led a large army to retreat to Jianmen Pass on a higher Hanyuan slope. Lizhou is lost, he still has Jianmen Pass, Jianmen is lost, he still has Hanyuanpo. But Han Yuanpo lost it, what else did he have? Wang Zhuge didn't have time to think about it, maybe he thought he was Zhuge Liang, one step and three plans, and it would be too late to think about it then.
As he expected, the Sword Gate Pass could not be defended, and it was lost under the front and rear attacks.
Wang Quanbin came to Hanyuanpo and once again discovered a strange thing: the coach on the opposite side was not Wang Zhaoyuan but Zhao Chongtao. What about Wang Zhuge ? He suddenly lay on the bed and couldn't get up. Stroke? The history books do not record the reason why he could not get up to fight. Based on my villain's repeated reasoning, I came to a conclusion: our Wang Zhuge may have peed his pants.
He didn't expect the enemy to break through the Sword Gate Pass so quickly. And without stopping, he went straight to his Hanyuan Slope, and he didn't think about where to retreat next, so of course he was in a hurry...... So he had to lie down for the sake of face, watching his prison army kill him.
Although Zhao Chongtao personally killed several Song soldiers, he was still captured alive after the last time. At this time, our Wang Zhuge could no longer care about face. He jumped up and changed his clothes (look!). Didn't wet your pants and change your clothes) ran away.
Wang Zhaoyuan hid in a private house, heartbroken. I am the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang! But the enemy is all illiterate, and he doesn't talk about routines when he fights. I'm at the Sword Gate, so you should storm at the Gate, and then let me shoot arrows and throw stones at it. How can you take a path from behind? I'm in Hanyuanpo, you should surround me, why do you charge as soon as you come? It's too much of a formation! Thinking about it, he still muttered in his mouth that Luo Yin, a genius of the late Tang Dynasty, wrote Zhuge Liang's poem "Heroes are not free" to this point, and he still has to read this poem. And the previous sentence "Heaven and earth are all working together" was selectively forgotten. Deep down, Wang Zhaoyuan always thinks that he is a Zhuge Liang. Today's failure has nothing to do with talent, it's really unlucky. Zhuge Liang has the good luck of "heaven and earth are all working together". And he only has the bad luck of "transporting heroes not free". Of course, he didn't know how to go, he was lucky to be able to hide in a private house, and he was even freer. On the 2nd, Wang Quanbin captured Jianzhou. He was captured. Now, he really responded to the fact that poetry is not free.
However, Wang Zhuge is still a little stronger than Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang is doing his best, and he is dead. Wang Zhaoyuan also bowed, he bowed to Zhao Kuangyin, and then survived.
As soon as the sword gate is lost, it is time for Shu to change the owner. Meng Chang learned the news from his crown prince Meng Yuanzhe, who couldn't be more bad.
On the first day of the first lunar month, on the same day that Jianmen Pass was lost, Meng Chang sent his crown prince Meng Yuanzhe as the commander-in-chief, and Li Tingqi and Zhang Huian as deputy generals to lead more than 10,000 troops to support Wang Zhaoyuan. The prince went out on the expedition, causing a sensation in the whole of Shu, and the common people were like looking at rare birds and beasts, watching the excitement and strangeness, and praised repeatedly: The prince is the prince, the honor guard is really different, and the flags are all made of Shu brocade! How gorgeous, with royal style! The high-spirited prince probably wanted to rely on this unparalleled lineup to directly regard the old coarse people of the Song Dynasty as dementia, and then they were ashamed of themselves and retired from the army, right?
But the eyes of the masses are bright, and they feel that something is wrong when they look at it. If you look closely, the flag is upside down! Alas! God can only be blamed for this. Who let it rain just now? In order not to get wet with these beautiful Shu brocades and affect the overall effect of the honor guard, the prince ordered the flag to be taken down and put away, and then raised it when the weather was fine. Now it's clear. But the Shu soldiers were dizzy and dizzy when they lowered the flag and raised the flag, and it was inevitable that they made some mistakes up and down, and the flag was reversed.
When the prince arrived in Mianzhou, he heard the news that the Jianmen Pass was lost and Wang Zhuge was arrested, so he hurriedly returned home and reported the news to his emperor's father. And he said proudly - Dad, I've got everything done. Now from Mianzhou to Chengdu, there is nothing. I've burned everything I can. An old general named Shi Fengyu also told him that the Song army came far away and could not last. As long as the walls are clear, we can still hold Chengdu. Meng Chang sighed: "My father and son have been rich in clothes and food for forty years. Once we encounter the enemy, we cannot send a single arrow to the east. Although I want to close the wall today, who is willing to die" At this time, his prime minister Li Hao came over and said mysteriously, "Your Majesty, don't despair. The minister has inquired clearly. Gao Jichong and Zhou Baoquan are living very well in Kaifeng... The minister also heard that Emperor Song specially built a big house for you, which is as big as five hundred" Li Hao had an indescribable strange smile on his face, "Your Majesty, if you agree, the minister will do his best for this"
Meng Chang looked at him and suddenly realized. Then a more indescribable smile appeared on his face, and he waved his hand, "You go and do it!" I remembered, you are doing this" After speaking, he walked out of the palace and did not look back.
40 years later, history repeats itself. How did Shu perish back then, and now Hou Shu is not out of shape, and even the writer who wrote the table has not changed.
It is said that after the same day, Prime Minister Li of Shu returned home, brushed the paper and took the pen, and did not add points. A drop table is established. Then he was a little smug. It's been 40 years, during which the world has changed, the mountains and rivers have changed hands, but I am not old. What I did back then, I did it again 40 years later, and I still do it handy.
On January 7, Li Hao handed over the demotion table to Yi Xianzheng and asked him to see Wang Quanbin. On the 13th, Yi Xianzheng dedicated this surrender table to Wang Quanbin of Weicheng. On this day, Prime Minister Li returned home and found that there was an extra piece of paper on his door. On it, the white paper and black letters are uprightly written, and the greatest achievement of his life - the Li family of the world cultivation table! Justice is free in the hearts of the people, "eat its lu and kill its master, live in its land and sacrifice its land" is the reason why Zhuge Liang wants to kill Wei Yan. Although Li Hao never killed Wang Yan and Meng Chang, he insulted his two masters in a row. As for the land, he offered it not only once, but a second time!
So on November 3, 964, the army was dispatched, and on January 7, 965, Meng Chang surrendered. In just 66 days, 534029 households in 46 prefectures of Houshu and a total of 240 counties have changed their owners.
On the morning of the 19th, on the bank of the Shengxian Bridge, a scene from 40 years ago was repeated again. Meng Chang was dressed in white, with a jade mouth in his mouth, holding a white sheep in his hand, and standing by the bridge with a straw rope wrapped around his head. The civil and military officials behind him were dressed in filial piety clothes, and they were barefoot and cried loudly on an empty coffin. It is said that this is the "official etiquette" of the Chinese monarchs to surrender, as a way to indicate that they have committed a capital crime and are at the mercy of the emperor. And his officials are grieving for him. On the surrendered side, Wang Quanbin walked over on behalf of Zhao Kuangyin, took off the jade straw rope, took away the white sheep, and burned the coffin. The edict of pardon is then read in public. This cutscene is over. The ceremony of the day was carried out very smoothly and successfully under the auspices of Li Hao, the elder of Houshu. Both sides rejoiced, and each got what he wanted.
