In the third year of the Qin New Calendar, in May.

Under the personal leadership of Li Yuan, 12,000 Qin troops set out from Langzhong, crossed Yushui, and headed towards the core area of Shu in the mountains.

The generals of the Qin army who followed Li Yuan to fight together, including Wang Shang, Li Zhongxiang, Feng Xuan, Luo Xian and several others, in front of Wang Shang and other generals with the most seniority, Luo Xian, who accompanied him for the first time, carefully accompanied the smiling face, hiding behind Li Zhongxiang, who was much younger than him, without the fierceness of the Ba warriors.

Although the Ba people live far away from Guanzhong, it is the core area for the whole of China, and a cowardly and greedy leader of the Ba people is much easier to suppress than an ambitious object.

The east is surrounded by the Zilin and the west is the water.

On this day, the Qin army marched through the rugged mountain road of Micang Mountain and came to the southern end of the Shiniu Road, Zitong County, one of the 31 counties of Shu County.

The name of Zitong, originated from Xia Shang, the legend also has something to do with Xia Yu that is, Dayu to control the water, Zitong on the edge of the Nichen Mountain is the place where Dayu controls the river and puts the sediment, of course, this is just a story passed on by the people by word of mouth, the real name of Zitong comes from the front of the Zilin and Tongshui.

After the Qin army arrived here, it was basically regarded as stepping into the Chengdu Plain area watered by the Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project.

It was not only the generals and colonels who were accustomed to war who cheered, but also Li Yuan recruited some political officials from Guanzhong to come to the south during the period of stay in Langzhong.

In addition to salt, Ba County has no other products, but Shu County is different, there is a large population here, rich in products, and the output of grain is a large part, in addition. Chengdu, the county seat of Xiangshu County, is famous for its brocade. Governing such a place is an opportunity for every official of the Qin State to exercise his abilities.

"Li Hou, the army has passed Zitong, Jia immediately took a boat down, crossed the water from the downstream area, and then headed for Chengdu. I don't know what else Li Hou has to say. ”

Among them, Lu Jia, a long-lost historical figure, also followed the army to Shu County, and now he came to Li Yuan with some hesitation and uneasiness. I just came to Bashu from Guanzhong. Lu Jia has only one purpose, that is, to persuade his old friend Li Shang to return to Qin.

"Lu Langzhong, this time of lobbying, you can tell Li Shang that if it is only for personal grudges, he can burn Chengdu to the ground, and then bear the infamy of the ages; If you are still thinking about the future of the Li clan, then lay down your weapons and surrender to my Great Qin. As for his own stay. It's up to him to decide. The door of my Great Qin is always open for those who are capable. Li Yuan stared at Lu Jia for a long time and said.

Under Li Yuan's sharp gaze, Lu Jia only felt that his heart was beating hard. Li Yuan can now be said to be experienced in a hundred battles, and has dealt with Xiang Yu and Mao Dun, the most famous figures in the late Qin Dynasty. The body is even more murderous, although Lu Jia is more than ten years older than Li Yuan, he does not dare to be lax and presumptuous.

After a long period of detention and a painful ideological struggle, Lu Jia succumbed. As Chen Ping, who finally convinced him, said. He was still young, and he died so early. Only Liu Bang is the only one who is worthy, but there are many people who are sorry. Including parents, brothers, husbands, clansmen, etc., in this era when knowledge is still scarce, the generation of a person of insight needs the support of the whole clan to have the opportunity to study.

After choosing to serve, Lu Jia served as Langzhong in the Changshi Mansion, this position was mainly to assist Changshi Chen Ping in charge of etiquette, letters, diplomacy, etc., for Lu Jia, these are what he is best at, so it is very easy to do. It's just that Lu Jia is not reconciled to stay in the Changshi Mansion all the time and be an internal affairs official so diligently.

In the state of Qin, it is necessary to come out.

It is necessary to enter the eyes of Shenwu Marquis Li Yuan first, which Lu Jia knows very well in his heart, so when he saw that the Qin army was preparing to attack Shu County and the enemy's general was Li Shang, Lu Jia felt that his opportunity had come. As long as he can successfully persuade Li Shang to make this famous general in the Han army surrender, so as to take Chengdu without bloodshed, with such outstanding achievements, I believe that Li Yuan will definitely be impressed by him.

Li Yuan still recognized Lu Jia's request, and it was almost impossible for a person who had been forcibly left to change his mind, which was an almost impossible thing for people who valued integrity in ancient times. After choosing to defect to the Qin State, Lu Jia will inevitably be regarded by the world as a person with a weak heart and bad conduct, which is a heavy blow to a debater like him, if he can't adjust his mentality, he won't be able to achieve anything on the stage of communication.

Now, Lu Jia himself proposed to lobby Li Shang, and Li Yuan felt from his eyes that Lu Jia recognized Qin Guo from his heart, or had confidence in the future development of Li Yuan Group.

"Thank you Li Hou for your advice, my subordinates must tell Li Shang truthfully. The person who knows the times is Junjie, and his subordinates believe that Li Shang will eventually lay down his arms. Lu Jia straightened his chest and assured confidently.

"That's good, Lu Langzhong has confidence, Ben Hou is waiting for your good news outside Chengdu, remember, the time is ten days, beyond this period, my army will immediately attack the city, and then the lives will be ruined, and there will be countless casualties, all of which are his fault." Li Yuan's expression was straight and he said loudly.

Li Yuan still admires the ability of Li Shang. Unlike his cousin Li Shiqi, who is boastful and likes to drink, Li Shang is a practical person.

Among the generals under Liu Bang, Li Shang and Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Xiahou Ying and others belong to two camps, on the one hand, Liu Bang joined all the heroes after the expedition to the west, and on the other hand, a group of old people in Pei County, in comparison, Liu Bang naturally trusts Cao Shen and others more, and for the followers represented by Li Shang, Liu Bang can basically be regarded as reused, but once there is a conflict between the two sides, Liu Bang will still stand on the side of Cao Shen and others.

Xiao looks at the red wet place, and the flowers are heavy in the official city.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, there was turmoil, and the wars in the eastern and central areas of Guandong continued, and a considerable number of large households, merchants and ordinary people chose to flee to Shu County in the southwest corner.

Among them, the Chengdu Plain, in the land of abundance, accommodates the most displaced people. The arrival of these displaced people with advanced farming has provided the most valuable manpower and jishu resources for the economic development of Shu County.

Chengdu.

Pressed by the powerful force of the Qin army, the once prosperous street market was snubbed, and what added to the vitality of the city was the shouts of patrol soldiers on the city walls.

Lobbying is a jishu job, and it also requires guts.

After separating from Li Yuan, Lu Jia came to Chengdu Gate from the waterway along Pishui and Jinshui, because the Qin army was coming, the inventory here was very strict, and unfortunately, Lu Jia met an acquaintance here: Li Shiqi's son Li Scabies. After his father Li Shi died of lobbying, he followed his uncle Li Shang to serve in the army, and when he saw that it was Lu Jia, he immediately guessed his intention.

"Lu Jia, you, a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death, still have the face to come, do you really think that Li's knife is unpleasant and the sword is unfavorable?" Li Ji smiled cruelly and loudly ordered Lu Jia to be arrested.

In the past, Lu Jia and Li Shiqi were unparalleled debaters in the Han army, and in Li Ji's view, Lu Jia did not have the ability to argue with his father at all, whether it was from dialectics or discipline.

He didn't even see Li Shang's face, and he was killed so silently, of course Lu Jia would not be reconciled, so he immediately shouted: "Li Scabies, if you dare to kill me today, the whole Li clan will be buried with you, can you afford this little child?" ”

Hearing Lu Jia's threat, the young and vigorous Li Scabies couldn't stand it, and when his temper came up, he immediately ordered Lu Jia to be escorted directly to the bank of Jinshui, and directly cut off his head.

As for what the consequences are, Li Ji never thought about it, in his opinion, it is a big deal to escape into the mountains and leave, or find an opportunity to escape back to Kanto, whether it is Liu Bang, the king of Han, or Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, as long as he has the ability, he is afraid that no one will take him in.

It's natural for Li Scabie to think like this, but others are not so naïve. At least, Li Shang, who is already over forty years old, will not be as reckless as Li Scabies.

After hearing that the soldiers had reported that the deceased Lu Jia had come to visit, the Li Shang, who was anxious about why he was going, immediately ordered Lu Jia to be brought to the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet.

Fan Mu never returned, the Pakistani army broke up on its own, the people of Shu County were panicked, and under the siege of the Qin army, the Han officials appointed by Liu Bang could not escape. In such an unfavorable situation, Li Shang had to think about it, his life and death alone were nothing, but if he caught up with the entire Li clan, the price would be too great.

Lu Jia was about to be beheaded on the edge of Jinshui, and Li Shang's order came urgently, and Li Ji, who had been dismissed, was so angry that he stomped his feet and left with his cronies unwillingly.

Prime Minister's House.

The mansion of Li Shang is located on the edge of Huanhua Creek in the city, and across the street is Jinli, the most famous brocade workshop in Chengdu.

As early as in ancient times, the first silkworm from Shu began to raise silkworms in the stone chamber of Minshan, and later, the silkworm moved from Minshan to the Chengdu Plain, creating the first civilization era of Shu.

Lu Jia was ordered to be released by Li Shang, and he changed from a dying person to a guest, and he was escorted along the way, and Li Shang's people were also polite, which made Lu Jia have greater confidence in his heart.

Judging from the past exchanges, Li Shang is not a foolish and loyal person, his grudge against Qin is actually the section where his cousin Li Shiqi was killed by Zhang Han, which has the reason why the two countries fought each other, and the reason why Li Shiqi himself was too arrogant.
