Chapter 38

Shi Xun got the news of the Shu Gang, immediately gathered troops and horses, surged from Mianzhu, and then easily entered the city without a single arrow, and then drove into Chengdu - even Shi Xun himself felt like a dream. Liu Zhang led Peng Yi, Xu Shu, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan and others out of the city to greet them, offering the heads of Liu Feng, Wu Yi, Li Yan and the Ma brothers, and Liu Bei's concubines and the prince Liu Yong under the Empress Dowager Wu, Shi Xun hurriedly dismounted, held Liu Zhang's hand, and said enthusiastically: "The general is against the thief and the whole of Shu, and his achievements cover the world, and he is really admired!" ”

In fact, he was thinking in his heart, this nest of wastes has a much better ending than the original history, there is really no hero in the world, and the erector is famous, where is the reason...... In fact, this guy is just a puppet, but in the future history books, maybe half of the credit for Xu Shu and Peng Yi will be attributed to him - after all, he is the nominal leader of the Shu Gang - maybe he can even get rid of the dilemma of failing all around in the game......

Looking left and right, I couldn't help asking, "Where is Liu Chan?" ”

Peng Yi hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, saying that he was really sorry - "This mistake of ours also made Zhao Yun embrace Liu Chan in his arms, break the siege and escape, and now he has sent troops to chase and kill." ”

It turned out that Yan Yan entered the city that day, first controlled Huang Quan, and then came to arrest Liu Chan, but was resisted by Zhao Yun and his army, and the two sides fought a fierce battle, each with damage. However, then came the news that the Wei army had killed on a large scale, and Zhao Zilong knew that he was difficult to fight, so he was forced to abandon the Empress Dowager Wu, only embracing the young lord Liu Chan, and led his personal guards to penetrate the siege and flee without a trace. Yan Yan hurriedly sent his deputy general Zhang Yi to chase after him, but there was no definite news so far.

It was Xun Xin who said that Zhao Zilong, you didn't have the opportunity to get the savior of Changbanpo, but I didn't expect such a scene to happen again at this time - thief God. You're clever! I don't know where else he Zhao Yun can run......

It was ordered immediately. Ordered Xu Huang to lead the army to calm the nearby counties of Chengdu. Ordered Zhang He to chase Zhao Yun, Niu Jin and Ma Jian went to Ba County, and cooperated with Lu Su to capture Gan Ning. He himself, Cao Zhen and Sima Yi went straight to Chengdu, assigned soldiers to guard the four gates, and made announcements to reassure the people. Peng Yi invited Shixun to live in the palace temporarily, Shixun smiled faintly and said, "This is not appropriate." Peng Yongnian please. Said: "The governor of the big country, compared with the small state, is in the same column as the king of Shu, and he can live in peace." ”

It's Xun Xin who said that you don't have a lot of sycophants, not to mention that Shu Han claims to be the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty and establishes himself with Cao Wei, even if it is really a vassal small country, the palace is the palace, and it is not a place where I can easily set foot in. This kind of thing is very jealous, and I can't have a hot head for a while. is similar to Deng Ai in the original history, claiming "the art of war." Don't seek fame when you enter, don't avoid sin when you retreat", and as a result, someone grabbed her pigtails......

This Peng Yongnian had a bad reputation in the original history, and he deliberately persuaded himself to enter the Shu Palace, whether it was simply a horse or an ulterior motive? I've got to watch out for this guy......

So he lived in the palace of General Wu Yi, and worshiped Liu Zhang as the assassin of Yizhou on the same day, and made Xu Shu the Taishou of Shu County and Yang Hong as the commander of Chengdu - their deputy positions were all arranged for their own subordinates and Cao Wei officials to be monitored. Then he wrote a report on the victory, and ordered Jun to escort Empress Dowager Wu, Liu Yong and others to Luoyang to meet the Son of Heaven. Shi Xun also said: "The situation in Shuzhong must be made to go to Kyoto to report the situation." "It seems that he pointed at it casually, and said that Peng Yongnian, you should go back with my brother.

He was afraid that Peng Yi, the local snake, would play some tricks again, so he simply blew things away.

In the performance, Shi Xun also said three things: first, Peng Yi "has a big heart and broad ambitions, and it is difficult to be safe" - directly copy the original words of Zhuge Liang in the history books - please Cao Cao must be careful and use his talents; second, to invite Liu Zhang's title to appease the hearts of the people; Third, please order Buqi, Huang Zhong and others to lead the army from Jiaozhou into Nanzhong, in the name of calming the old Shu County, trying to control Yonghong, Zhu Bao and other generations - in the chaotic period of changing the regime, the Han Yikui chieftain will definitely take the opportunity to expand the territory, if it is not quickly restricted, I am afraid that it will be difficult to govern in the future.

Although Xu Shu is the Taishou of Shu County and Yang Hong is the commander of Chengdu, in fact, all the aftermath matters are entrusted to Sima Yi, and he believes that Zhongda has the ability to stabilize the situation as quickly as possible. Sima Yi came to find Shi Xun and asked him: "Liu Bei is a martial artist, the criminal and political affairs are abnormal, and the people are in difficulty. However, this is not what Yi can do, and he ...... "Yes Xun said that it doesn't matter, I will lend you the festival for the time being, and you can govern boldly."

Sima Yi reminded Shixun: "Mr. occupies the position of the public, establishes the great merit of Shu, and is in a difficult place, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will be suspicious, and the villain will slander. "Yes Xun said I understand what you mean, but-" Undertaking the system of worship, with the beginning of the peace attached, it is expedient, if you return it immediately, I am afraid of disaster...... "Although we have won the battle, but the last step is almost because of the people, Shu generals, Shu soldiers may not be convinced, if you can't reward the meritorious people as soon as possible, open the treasury to give relief to the Shu soldiers, Shu people's hearts, I am afraid that things will be repeated. If there are people who are resentful and shout, the Quartet will follow, we may not be able to sit in peace with Chengdu City.

"Your Majesty, knowing my situation, you should not be guilty." I have already given Cao Cao a preventive injection in the performance of the victory, and the ministers of the court and the central government will definitely ease my cheeks, so theoretically there will not be any big problems.

In fact, what he thought in his heart was that the world was finally calm, and I could also retire after success - as far as Cao Cao's temperament, if he didn't die, I am afraid that I would be blamed at every turn, as the so-called "companion of the king is like accompanying the tiger". It is better to take advantage of this opportunity, resign as soon as he triumphs, and return to his hometown to write a book - the Six Classics have not yet been completed, and Confucianism still needs to be transformed, which is the great cause of the future. Continue to be an official with Asari? Anyway, it's impossible to move forward anymore, what's the point of not going to the stack?

Anyway, my protégés and disciples are all over the world, and my son is still the son-in-law of the Cao family, and the wealth of all industries has accumulated, and even if he abdicates, he will not be retaliated against and liquidated. Since coming to this troubled world, my nerves have been tense, the burden has always been on my shoulders, and I am about to decline before I get old.

Sima Yi refused to persuade Shixun, so he had to obey the order and retreat. So he opened the treasury, gave relief to the people, and undertook the order of the officials, and Xu Shu and Zhang Ren were all prominent officials and received many rewards.

More than ten days later, news came that Xu Gongming had calmed down the counties of Shu County—that is. Yizhou (not counting the newly ceded Liangzhou) has one-seventh of the land and more than one-third of the hukou. All have fallen into the hands of the Wei army. You must know that the development of Shu is extremely uneven. Only the surrounding areas of Chengdu are known as "Tianfu", including the southern and central regions, although they are vast, but they have few hukou and extremely low productivity. Therefore, the established Shu County (as well as the Guanghan County that was taken before) is basically equivalent to winning the whole of Shu, and those corners and corners only need thousands of soldiers and horses, and it will take time. You can calm down one by one.

On the other hand, Niu Jin, Ma Jian and Lu Su converged, and after several fierce battles, finally besieged Gan Ning and Gan Xingba in Jiangzhou City, Ma Jian wrote to him, saying that he planned to enter the city in person to lobby Gan Ning to surrender - you don't even have Chengdu, what kind of stubborn resistance.

As for Zhang He, he joined forces with the Shu general Zhang Yi, searched for Zhao Yun's whereabouts everywhere, and entered Hanjia through Jiangyuan and Linqiong - that is, the former Shu County vassal state - Hanjia Taishou Li Hui reluctantly surrendered, saying that Zhao Yun had crossed the Qionglai Mountain. Continue south, and flee to Yuewang County. Shi Xun immediately ordered Zhu Bao, Yonghong and others to lead the army. Coordinated pursuit - just transfer them away from the nest, so that Buqi and Huang Zhong can advance to Qike, Qianwei and other places.

Zhao Yun fled all the way south, and it is said that his subordinates were only a few hundred cronies, and it seemed that they wanted to go to Yongchang County through Yuewang. Yongchang is the land of Shu, and it is also the most southwestern county in the Nanzhong region, half of which is already in the territory of Myanmar in later generations, and the situation is very complicated. Previously, the Wei family instigated the chieftains of Nanzhong to rebel against Liu Bei, and most of Nanzhong echoed, and only Yongchang never rebelled - then Zhao Yun wanted to flee to Yongchang to temporarily shelter and seek an opportunity to recover, which was also expected.

Shi Xun gave Zhang He a strict order, saying that you chase Zhao Yun all the way, and take down all the counties along the way-I will send soldiers and horses to support you again-unless Zhao Zilong protects Liu Chan and escapes into the Pubu or the Yi tribes such as Yueyue, Minpu, and Jiu Bureaucrats, he is not allowed to stop.

The above four divisions are all located in the west and south of Yongchang County, and their leaders are nominally under the jurisdiction of Yongchang Taishou, but in fact, they are not even considered to be the later counties of Jian, and they are completely independent forces. Chinese If there is a messenger who can speak well, they may be able to take the initiative to sacrifice Zhao Yun and Liu Chan, if they are simply attacked, they are afraid that they will lose their troops and generals, but after all, they will be in vain.

In the original history, even Zhuge Liang's expedition to Nanzhong did not go so far.

Shixun himself sat down in Chengdu, waiting for an envoy from Luoyang. He estimated that it was impossible for Cao Cao to send the Central Plains army in Shu, and he was not worried that he would stay in Shu for a long time, so he would order to divide the squad and send capable officials to govern Shu. When the time comes, he will be the first to withdraw, which can not only calm Cao Cao's heart, but also ...... Shu is humid, although the temperature is not very low in winter, but it is cold and unbearable, it is Xun who has lived in the Central Plains for a long time, and he is really not used to it.

It was in the winter and October that I entered Chengdu, and I waited for nearly two months, and it was not until the New Year was approaching that Luoyang finally sent a messenger - the new secretary and supervisor Xing Hao.

Yeshun has been jumping on his right eyelid a few days ago, think about the saying of later generations, the left eye jumps wealth and the right eye jumps disaster...... Maybe it's the other way around, although he is not superstitious, he also feels uncomfortable. When I heard that the angel was Xing Yan, I had a bad premonition in my heart.

Xing Ziang, a native of Hejian County, the Eastern Han Dynasty has been repeatedly conquered by Situ or raised filial piety, and he should not be killed, and when Cao Cao got Jizhou, he was recommended by Cui Yan to enter the office. Shixun and Cui Jiqi are called brothers, but in fact, if they are enemies, Xing Ziang has never been willing to associate with Shixun because of this relationship. It was Xun Xin who said that most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had a good relationship with me, why didn't anyone send them, so they sent Xing Hao? It's weird.

Sure enough, after Xing Hao entered the city, he read the edict, and he greatly reprimanded Shi Xun. The edict listed a number of "crimes" of Shi Xun, mainly including: 1, "He was ordered to go on an expedition, but he did not prepare for the military, and he held a high meeting in Japan to regain the merits of the generals"; Second, "Being taught by the saint is to confuse the people at the juncture, and to buy the heart of the Shu people, and its intentions are wrong"; Third, "even to the city, attacked by Ma Chao, retreated because of fear, if it were not for the chaos of the Shu people, several would have failed"; Fourth, "after entering Chengdu, he lost his merit, was good at Weifu, and did not serve the report and devoted himself......

Shi Xun knelt on the ground, the more he listened, the more frightened he became, and the generals next to him also changed their colors miserably, saying that even the Metropolitan Governor was blamed for this, what will happen to me? Who is this who has slandered in front of the Son of Heaven? We waited for our hard work to destroy Shu and make meritorious contributions to the country, but we turned out to be guilty, where is this really reasonable......

Fortunately, at the end of the edict, he made a twist, saying that although Xun advanced and retreated improperly, and there were many lawlessness, he finally remembered his previous merits, and he finally took down Liang and Yi Erzhou, and the Son of Heaven was not deeply responsible. This edict was taken away from the title of Captain Xun and the post of the governor of the capital, and he was ordered to return to Luoyang as soon as possible, and His Majesty saw the guilt. As for the military power, it will be taken over by Cao Ren, the protector of the country. Then Xing Hao announced a farewell edict, to everyone's surprise, all the generals were rewarded, and the officials of Shu who were previously honored were also awarded from their titles - and also worshiped Liu Zhang as the "Marquis of Tin County".

If you dare to be affectionate, you will be punished, and everyone else has no merit - the big guy let out a long breath.

Besides, Shi Xun received the edict, and his heart went up and down, and he first asked Xing Hao: "Where is the protection of the country?" "Didn't you send Cao Ren to take over the military power? Why didn't he come with you? Xing Hao replied: "Protecting the country is now in Hanzhong, too ...... It is the public can go north to hand over. ”

Shi Xun couldn't help but sneer in his heart: Cao Cao, what are you afraid of? Do you think I am Zhong Hui or when I am Deng Ai? Therefore, Jia Chong will ride ten thousand people to Tunle City in case of me? I knew that if I had a high merit and shook the master, I would be blamed for it, but I didn't expect that the bird would come so quickly......
