Chapter 33 No return

Just when Xu Du set off a stormy wave of abolition of the school because of the small trap of Xun, thousands of miles away, Liu Bei led the Jingzhou army to conquer Qianwei County and Wuyang.

On the same day, Nan'an City fought against Yan Yan, because of Gan Ning's attack on the city, the Jingzhou army won a big victory, but because of the need to respond to Gan Ning, Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei to attack Nancheng, and the losses were also quite heavy. However, this time, Wuyang City, which attacked the city higher and more heavily defended, was almost bloodless, and suddenly went down.

The reason is that the county secretary Zuo Feiguan, Wang Fu, etc., are all close friends of Fazheng, and when the Jingzhou army arrived in the city, they brazenly launched a mutiny and surrounded the county guard He Zong. Wang Fuzi Guoshan, a native of Yun County, Guanghan County, also belongs to the Yizhou natives who have no ambitions. Fei Guanzi Bingbo is a native of Yan County, Jiangxia County, and his aunt is Liu Zhang's biological mother, so it stands to reason that he should not turn his elbow outward. The problem was that Fei Guan followed his eldest brother Boren into Shu, but before he could reach adulthood, Boren hung up, and Liu Zhang was held hostage by the upper echelons of Dongzhou Shi, and he didn't dare to reuse his little cousin. Therefore, Fei Guan was angry, and was dragged into the thief ship by Zhang Song and Fa Zheng.

Qianwei County Shou He Zongzi Yanying, a native of Pixian County, Shu County, is also a native of Yizhou, so although he has made a high official of 2,000 stones, he has been excluded from the center of the Yizhou regime, and he has long been dissatisfied in his heart. Fei Guan and Wang Fu surrounded the county guard office, and He Yanying couldn't help but sigh: "Fei Binbo also has a heart from Yuanzhou (referring to Liu Bei, the assassin of Yuanzhou)? Then why do I refuse? "Send someone to greet the two young men, saying that I also have a heart, you quickly withdraw the troops, and I will open the city gate to welcome Liu Yuanzhou into the city.

That's it. Liu Bei camped under Wuyang City before he could get a report, the city gate was opened, and the county guard He Zong came to surrender with a seal letter in his hand.

Liu Bei was overjoyed, and hurriedly greeted him in person, comforted He Zong with kind words, and still ordered him to serve as the county guard of Qianwei, as for Fei Guan and Wang Fu, they were all recruited to the army and appointed as staff officers.

The news reached Chengdu. Liu Zhang was so frightened that he almost fell off the couch without a head.

The original history. Liu Bei was killed from the northern front, and then he was under the city of Luoxian County, and he couldn't advance an inch for nearly a whole year. The reason is very simple, Luo County was originally not only Guanghan County. It is also the Yizhou Governance Office. It is the base camp of Liu Yan's painstaking management. The city is high and dense, and it is heavily guarded. In Liu Yan's later years, he suddenly suffered a fire. burned the state pastoral office in the city to ruins, and in desperation, he was forced to move south to Chengdu, the county of Shu County - but the state government was burned, but the city was not burned, and it was still strong.

It's just that on this timeline, Liu Bei came from the southern line, and after taking Wuyang without blood, he pointed north along the river, only more than 100 miles away from Chengdu, and only a small Guangdu County was separated in the middle. Liu Zhang's original plan was to successively dispatch the main forces of the front line to fight against Zhao Wei, gallop to the aid of Wuyang, first nail Liu Bei to death, and then look for a good opportunity to counterattack. However, now that Wuyang has been lost, it is too unrealistic to rely on the small city of Guangdu to defend it.

Hurry up, let's come back to Chengdu with all the big guys!

The general Pang Xi came back first, patted his chest and said Liu Bei, what is he afraid of? He killed 30,000 people, most of whom were soldiers from Yizhou who had just been recruited, and I led 30,000 elites to resist and annihilate them between Wuyang and Guangdu. Zhang Song jumped out in time and pulled his hind legs, saying what if Liu Bei stopped in Wuyang and didn't continue to go north? You are in a hurry, it is difficult to break through Wuyang Jiancheng, wait for Liu Bei to plant his forces, and then make the east to unite with Zhao Wei, and take the subject country of Shu County in the west, "click" a knife, and cut off all the southern half of Yizhou, and then it will be even more difficult to deal with the power of one and the other.

In fact, the essence of Yizhou is on the Chengdu Plain, followed by the northern half, and the south is densely jungled, barbarian and horizontal, and in terms of economic strength, it is less than one-fifth of the entire Yizhou. The problem is that the northern part of Yizhou is not all in the hands of Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong and Zhao Wei in Bajun are each divided into one side, and if they want to lose the south of Qianwei, two-thirds of the state's tax revenue will be lost.

Liu Zhang was a no-brainer, at the moment Pang Xi said that he wanted to fight, Zhang Song said that he couldn't fight, or to pacify the peace, Liu Zhang was dizzy when he heard it, and he didn't know what to do. Of course, it is the upper echelons of Dongzhou Shi who are in power, and Zhang Song's opinion is just for reference, and it is estimated that he will eventually have to send troops to crusade against Liu Bei according to what Pang Xi said. However, at this time, Changshi and Fufeng shot Wen Gu suddenly stood up, saying that he was about to report to my lord, and an angel promised to come to fight with Zhao Wei for my family, why not let him persuade Liu Bei to withdraw from the army?

Moreover, the news of Liu Bei's entry into Shu reached Xudu, and Cao Cao summoned the ministers to discuss, and came to the conclusion that the whip was beyond the reach of the whip, and it was impossible to think about it, so he had to try to send envoys to solve the fight in the name of the imperial court. Basically, neither Liu Zhang nor Zhao Wei can be so obedient, but they are not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if they can be temporarily stabilized, the prestige of the imperial court and the prestige of the Cao family will rise sharply. Anyway, there won't be anything to lose, so why not give it a try?

So the next day, Shang Shu ordered Xun Yu to appoint Sun Meng, a member of the Lang Shi, to go to Shuzhong on the festival.

Shisun Meng is the son of Sun Rui, the former Shangshu Lingshi. When Li and Guo fought each other, Shisun Rui was killed by the rebellious soldiers, and Shisun Meng followed Liu Xie to Xudu, recorded the merits of his ancestors, and was named the Marquis of Zhan Jinting. This person has no other power, but his mouth is more neat, and he has half of Hongsuke's skills.

After Shisun Meng received the edict, he immediately rushed westward, he finally seized such an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, he was afraid that he would be one step slower, if the Liu and Zhao families first divided the victory and defeat, or boycotted the army in advance and made peace, wouldn't it be a trip in vain? After repeated planning, Shisun Meng did not enter Shu from Liangzhou through Hanzhong - in case he was stopped by the "rice thief" Zhang Lu and did not let go south, he would be caught blind - but went to Jingzhou first, went to visit Liu Biao, and persuaded Liu Biao to withdraw Liu Beijun as soon as possible.

Then Shisun Meng went up the river, entered Ba County, and waited for the place to see, I really wanted to cry without tears, hurry up, Zhao Wei couldn't bear Pang Xi's army, or admit it, and Liu Zhang because Liu Bei was like a bamboo on the southern front, and he didn't dare to force it too much, so he shook hands with Zhao Wei directly. But Shisun Mengxin said that since I have come here, Chengdu must not go to Chengdu-

He is a person who helps the wind and is a fellow villager with Shejian. So when I arrived in Chengdu, I went to visit Shejian first. The Son of Heaven thought that the word "Xie" was ominous (originally meaning 'word'), so he removed the word "Yan" and asked him to change his surname to shoot. Shejian once served as a waiter in the Yellow Gate, and resigned at the beginning of Emperor Xian to avoid chaos, and went to Shu with his younger brother to join Liu Zhang, and was appointed by Liu Zhang as the post of long history.

So Shejian introduced Shi Sun Meng to Liu Zhang, and Shi Sun Meng submitted an edict from the imperial court. Then said that since the Liu and Zhao families can stop fighting. The blessing of this country is also, I hope Liu Mu can write a seal of gratitude and let me bring it back to Xudu. Liu Zhang said with a bitter face: "Although Zhao Wei retreated, Liu Bei still stole ...... from me" Shisun Meng was stunned when he heard this. Said that I entered Shu from Jingzhou. Liu Jingsheng had already promised to recall the soldiers and horses who had invaded Yizhou. Why hasn't Liu Bei retired yet?

If there is regret in his words, he is actually very happy in his heart, and his heart says that if I move this three-inch tongue, it will not be rotten. If you can persuade the Jingzhou soldiers to retreat, you will be reused by the dynasty - I think that is Hongfu, isn't it also between the princes and started with a tongue argument? So he took the initiative to ask Liu Zhang to send someone to escort him to Wuyang to lobby Liu Bei.

Liu Zhang was overjoyed, so he sent his general Ling Bao to lead a thousand horsemen to guard the angels and rushed to Wuyang City.

Liu Bei received two envoys almost on the same day, one was Shisun Rui, who came with a festival, and the other was Liu Biao's dispatch to enter Shu with an Iraqi nationality, asking Liu Bei and Liu Hu to withdraw immediately - this time it was Liu Xuande's turn to be big.

The angel is easy to dismiss, Shisun Meng thinks that his teeth are very good, but he only fought with Pang Tong for a few rounds, and then he was forced to return - Pang Tong said, if the imperial court can really take care of the affairs of the West, then Cheng, didn't I seal my lord as the history of Yuanzhou Assassin before? Hurry up and let Liu Biao let Yuanzhou out. Liu Jingsheng pacified Zhang Yi not long ago, that is, he said to himself, don't drive Liu Xian to assassinate the history of Yuanzhou, why didn't the court even let out a fart? My lord retreated and could not go to Yuanzhou, so he had to stay in Yizhou to wait for the court to judge impartially.

But it was not easy for Jingzhou to send the envoy, and the Yi nationality handed over Liu Biao's official document, and Liu Hu shouted, since my uncle asked us to withdraw from the army, then let's quickly pack up and go home. Fortunately, Yi Jibo was very close to Liu Bei when he was in Jingxiang, although he was a subordinate of Liu Biao and a fellow villager, in fact, deep down he still favored Liu Bei a little more, and immediately waved his hand and said: "Before I came, Xiangyang heard that our army had entered Qianwei's ears, and I didn't hear that Wuyang was also a city, and now I have the city and abandon it, isn't it a pity?" ”

Liu Bei said yes, yes, we have worked so hard to get here, if we leave, all the territory we have gained will have to be returned to Liu Zhang, how cost-effective it is. Liu Hu said that otherwise, if we load all the people of Qianwei on the ship and transport them to Jingzhou, although we will lose land, we will win people, so it will not be a loss.

At that time, after repeated wars, the number of household registrations in various places was less than the quota, even if a large number of Central Plains scholars went to Jingzhou, it was difficult to fill the vacancy, so when the princes were fighting, the abduction was also a major task - the fields were barren, as long as there were people, there would be cultivation output, and there were more household registrations, which was more convenient for conscription.

But Liu Hu's idea is somewhat nonsensical: from Wuyang to Jingzhou, thousands of miles away, how do you transport the population? How many rations do I have to prepare? You're going to have to die more than half of them along the way, right? It is estimated that when they return to Jingzhou, no matter how hard the rest of the population works, they will not be able to offset the food consumed on the road for three or five years!

In the end, Xu Shu stood up and came up with an idea, saying that it would be better to ask the angel to return to Chengdu and discuss with Liu Zhang, so that he could exchange gold silk and grain for the lost land - then he would not be able to take too much advantage, and we would not work in vain, and finally return empty-handed. Liu Bei said yes, and immediately sent Jian Yong and Shisun Meng back to Chengdu to negotiate with Liu Zhang.

That night, Yi Ji secretly came to Liu Bei and asked him Xuande, you have finally conquered a county, do you really need some food and property, and you plan to give up? You can think about it, even if you get more supplies, soldiers and horses, when you return to Jingzhou, he will definitely share more than half of Liu Biao's land. Liu Bei shook his head and said, "This is a plan to delay the army." However, most of the elites of the department are Jingzhou soldiers, how can they stay in a foreign land for a long time? "Liu Hu, they definitely want to go home early, I may not be able to stop them.

At this time, suddenly Zhao Yun reported outside the hall: "Gan Ning asks to see the lord." "Liu Bei said that I am entertaining guests, if there is nothing important, please come back tomorrow. But he heard Zhao Yunyu say: "Xingba Naiyun, Liu Hu and Lai Gong want to send troops to hold the lord hostage, so that they can return to Jingzhou!" ”

Liu Bei was taken aback when he heard this, but Yi Ji smiled slightly: "Xuande is not going to return." (To be continued......)
