The name of Bashu began before Zong Zhou. The east is Ba, the west is Shu, and the country has existed for hundreds of years. In that year, King Wu of Zhou gathered the princes of the Seventy-two Roads to kill the king, and the two countries of Bashu were one of the princes of the Seventy-two Routes. After the war between the two countries, King Qin Hui took the opportunity to marry the king of Shu, and used his lust to offer twenty stunning beauties, and used the excuse that the Shu road was difficult to walk, and I was afraid that there would be more damage on the road.

The king of Shu coveted the beauty of the Qin woman, so he ordered 2,000 strong men to dig the Golden Bull Road to communicate with Qin. It's a pity that when the Golden Bull Road was opened, the King of Shu waited for the tiger and wolf army of Qin. King Qin Hui took Sima Cuo as the general, sent 200,000 troops south to destroy Shu, and then went east to destroy Ba. After the annexation of Bashu, Qin's territory doubled, and there was another natural granary, and its strength suddenly increased greatly, and it became the head of the Seven Kingdoms.

The terrain of Bashu is dangerous, there are lofty mountains and Hanzhong in the north, and the sword pavilion and Jiamengguan are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Most of the residents are Shu people and Ba people, as well as Pu, Jia, Tho, Gong, Nu, Badger, Yi, Xuan, Yunnan, Wing, Yu and other eleven ethnic groups, which are called the Baipu branch. After the Qin State occupied Bashu, in order to effectively control the newly occupied land, it successively moved in 500,000 Qin people to develop Bashu.

In the period of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Li Bing, the Taishou of Shu County, dug the famous Dujiangyan again, turning Shu from a place with severe drought and flood to a country of abundance. The Bashu people were grateful for their kindness and became much closer to the Qin people. In the third year of the second century, the Qin state withdrew from Bashu, and the Qin state had ruled in Bashu for more than a hundred years.

At the beginning, the Kwantung was opposed, but Bashu was always able to maintain the apparent submission to Qin, until Huangfu Gui avoided Bashu, and Liu Bang was driven by Qin. The heads of the Bashu family were worried that they would be involved in the war in the world, so they decisively raised an incident to expel the Qin forces from Bashu.

Although the state of Shu has been established, it is different from other vassal states. They have no ambition to dominate the world, and the establishment of the country is nothing more than the idea of self-preservation. It is Pang Yi, the representative of the Shu family, who holds the military and political power of Shu. The first thing he did after the incident was to "politely" send all the Qin soldiers and Qin people in Bashu out of the country and rush to Hanzhong. Use this to show that the Qin State has no intention of being an enemy of the Qin State, but it is not like becoming a tool for the Qin State to dominate the world.

It's just that the Qin State has ruled here for more than a hundred years, and its influence on Bashu has long been deep-rooted, and a large number of Qin people who went south mostly intermarried with the locals, and the blood of the Qin people has long been integrated into the local area, and even Pang Yi, the leader of the Shi clan, has half of the Qin blood.

Therefore, when it comes to Qin's recovery of Bashu, the resistance from the people is not very fierce, and it is only because the Shu people are worried that they will be involved in the war, so they retreat and defend themselves.

Han Xin took this into account, so he did not intend to use force to attack Bashu. Because the terrain of Bashu is too dangerous, it must be very difficult for the Qin army to attack Bashu with great fanfare, and once it falls into a stalemate, it will definitely cost the people and money, and lose Qin's national strength in vain, which is very inconsistent with the current strategy of Qin.

The reason why Bashu was worried about being involved in the never-ending war was nothing more than that he was not optimistic about the weak Qin State at that time, on the other hand, Xiang Yu in the Kanto region was so prominent, so he was afraid of cutting himself off from Qin. Now it is different, after a year of hard work, the Qin State not only revived the Middle Way, but also defeated the extremely powerful Xiongnu on the grassland, which had to make the Shu people reconsider the relationship with the Qin State.

In the face of Qin's frequent indications, where will Shu go this has become a headache for Pang Yi.

On the one hand, Pang Yi was not a very ambitious person, and he called on the clans to expel the Qin people out of the idea of self-preservation. But now that he is the prime minister of Shu, the king of Shu is too young to govern himself, and he has become the most powerful person in the entire Shu land.

Once the taste of power is tasted, it is extremely greedy and difficult to let go easily. Pang Yi is exactly like this, he is in power today, he is already the first person in Shu, even if he wants to replace the king of Shu, it may not be impossible. But on the other hand, Qin Guo's aggressive momentum today made him fearful.

He knew that if it was about the state of affairs, Shu and Qin could not be the same at all. The Shu people are not good at war, in their self-deprecating words, the Qin State is rich in brave and warlike soldiers, while the Bashu is rich in wine and grain, and the only thing Shu can rely on is the dangerous terrain.

But these also seem to be somewhat unreliable now. Han Xin led the Qin army to achieve dazzling victories one after another, creating classic battles, and in front of him, there seemed to be nothing impossible, and nothing was insurmountable. Although the Sword Pavilion is dangerous, it may not be really insurmountable.

Moreover, with the growing strength of the Qin State, the pro-Qin forces within the Shu State have also risen, and the news of the Qin army's victory has been circulated among the people. Although this matter was suppressed by Pang Yi, it also made him uneasy, and he was very jealous of the forces close to the Qin State in the DPRK.

He didn't dare to do too much, for fear of offending the Qin State too deeply, so that he could leave a way out for himself. It was Pang Yi's hesitation at both ends that made Shu miss the best opportunity to mobilize. A Qin army, under the leadership of Gan Xiao, suddenly appeared in the north of the Sword Pavilion, pulled out twelve checkpoints in a row, and pushed the soldiers directly under the Sword Pavilion City.

When the news reached Chengdu, the whole country was shocked. Pang Yi hurriedly dispatched 30,000 elite soldiers to the north to settle in the Sword Pavilion and strictly guard against the Qin army. The Qin army, which advanced to the Sword Pavilion Pass, was not in a hurry to attack the city, but only stationed troops outside the pass and watched from afar, always maintaining a threat to the north of Shu.

Just when Pang Yi was worried, the Qin army sent a team of envoys to enter Shu through the Sword Pavilion and go to Chengdu to meet the king of Shu and the prime minister.

…….

Pang Yi sat on the seat, looked Qin Envoy up and down with a somewhat gloomy face, and said in an unkind tone; "Who are you and what is your official position in the Qin State?"

The Qin envoy bowed slightly and said with a smile; "In the lower Yanshi Road, for the right of the imperial history of the Qin State, see the Prime Minister."

Pang Yi snorted heavily and said; "Yanshi Dao, I have never heard of it, so it can be seen that he is not a person who has been on the scene." He has been an official in Shu County of Qin State for many years, so he naturally knows what the position of the right minister of the imperial history is, and he can't help but say with some annoyance; "You are just a royal historian, but you are just an official of Qianshi, but Han Xin sent you to discuss such a major matter with me, is it because you look down on me Pang Yi?"

In the face of Pang Yi's questioning, Yanshi Dao still had the same face as usual, as if he had expected him to say this, so he said unhurriedly; "What the prime minister said is not true, the reason why my general sent me here is just because he thinks I can do this job, not according to my rank. I am a great Qin, relying on the sage of knowing people, not being born in a family. If I can convince you, it will have nothing to do with my official position. If not, even if King Qin came in person, it would be useless.

Pang Yi smiled, "What a sharp mouth, it seems that Han Xin did send a good messenger here." It's a pity that I'm not someone who can be easily impressed, you might as well talk about it, and I'll listen to it before deciding whether I will consider cooperating with you. ”

Yanshi Dao no longer talks about empty words, but directly cuts to the main theme; "First, my Daqin is determined to win Bashu, even if you resist stubbornly, my Daqin will not change my determination to seize Bashu. You should know that Bashu is close to Lingnan further south, and you don't need to say that you should also know that there are things that my Great Qin wants-population and soldiers, so whether you choose war or peace, the final takeover is the same, Bashu must return to the territory of Qin, but it is not just whether you are willing, or the result of countless casualties. ”

A trace of displeasure flashed in Pang Yi's eyes, he snorted, and said in a cold tone: "Han Xin is too arrogant, although my Shu Kingdom is not a big country, but it also has 200,000 armor, and there are natural dangers of Sword Pavilion and Jia Meng Pass, is he really so confident that he can enter Shu Kingdom?" I'm afraid that he finally fell into the wilderness and fled back to Qin, and at that time, he wouldn't even be able to keep Guanzhong. ”

Yanshi Dao smiled slightly, but in his heart, he had long expected Pang Yi's words. He silently recited in his heart what Han Xin had explained to him, and said with a smile; "Prime Minister Pang Cheng's words are wrong, although the Sword Pavilion is a natural danger, but my Qin State has an invincible thunderbolt cannon, and attacking the city is like probing for something. Although the terrain of the Sword Pavilion is the first, it can't stop our army's thunderbolts. ”

Pang Yi Zou Mei said; "What is a thunderbolt?"

Yan Shidao smiled proudly; "The upper body is mounted on the pivot, and the stones are bulleted, such as thunder, so it is called the thunderbolt cannon. It was precisely by relying on this that our Qin army defeated 600,000 anti-Qin coalition troops in the Battle of Xianyang and easily captured Xinzheng. Although the Sword Pavilion is dangerous, in time, we will transport hundreds of thunderbolt cannons, and we only need a hundred cannons to fire at once, but the Sword Pavilion will be self-defeating. ”

Yanshi Dao was talking about trebuchets, and Pang Yi also heard a little, and after hearing it, he couldn't help but feel panicked. He didn't know that Yanshi Dao had actually played a trick on him, although this trebuchet was powerful, it was also bulky and abnormal, even if it was difficult to carry it on flat ground, let alone in a dangerous place. Even if Han Xin can transport the trebuchet to the Sword Pavilion, it is only a few, and it is okay to scare and scare the Shu army, but when it comes to firing a hundred cannons, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

But Pang Yi didn't understand any of this, although he was shrewd in the world, he didn't know anything about military affairs. When he saw that what Yanshi Dao said was so natural, he couldn't help but worry in his heart, and felt more and more that what he said made some sense.

Seeing Pang Yi's hesitant look on his face, Yanshi Dao hit the railway while it was hot; "And Prime Minister, do you really think that there is only one way for Qin Di to enter Shu?"

Pang Yi was shocked, and looked at Yanshi Dao with a shocked face, and said slowly; "What do you mean by that?" You must know that now the advantage of the terrain has become the only confidence for Shu to resist Qin, if even this geographical advantage is gone, then Shu has no other choice but to be captured.

Yanshi Dao had already chewed Han Xin's words in his stomach, and said it without thinking; "Shu is indeed a dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are mountains in the north, there are rivers in the east, but the west is the pasture of the Qiang people. The Qiang people surrendered to the Xiongnu back then, and since the Xiongnu had been defeated, how could those Qiang people block the iron cavalry of our Qin army. ”

"We can send troops from Guanzhong, borrow Daoqiang land to the west, go south and then turn east to enter Bashu, although it takes a long time, I don't believe you can still sit at this time."

Pang Yi was shocked, he really didn't expect this, in his mind, there was only one way for Qin Di to enter Bashu. And Yan Shidao's words ruthlessly shattered his thoughts. Although he didn't say a specific plan, Pang Yi had already realized that something was wrong, once the Qin army's iron cavalry really appeared in the empty Shu, it would definitely be a catastrophe.

"The general has already said that if you are willing to promote the return of Shu to Qin, then Qin will definitely not treat you badly. It will inevitably be rewarded with high-ranking officials, so that you will have no worries about food and clothing in the second half of your life, and your children and grandchildren will be blessed with energy saving. ”

Pang Yi's complexion changed several times, his face was cloudy, and he sighed for a long time; "This is a big matter for the survival of the country, let me think about it for a few more days."

"Everything is up to the Prime Minister."

……

The generous conditions offered by the Qin State made Pang Yi finally moved, and Han Xin promised to make him the hereditary Marquis of Wanhu, the same as the three dukes, and he was the county guard of Shu County all his life, and he would never take each other.

After a day of quarrelling, the court of Shu finally reached a consensus. Shu will surrender to Qin with a rich foundation of 140,000 soldiers and 220,000 households. As a condition, all those who are willing to remain in the new court will remain as they have been, and no changes will be made.

As for the life and death prospects of this King of Shu, they were collectively fooled.

At the beginning, these families united with the heads of various departments in central Sichuan to act together, because they were not in harmony with each other, and whoever was the boss would be unconvinced. That's why I found the descendant of this Shu King Kaiming clan and supported him as the King of Shu.

Of course, no one paid attention to this King of Shu, but only used it to support the scene. Shu was like the republic realized during the "national rebellion" in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and dozens of people discussed and decided everything.

Since the Shu Kingdom was ready to surrender, the gate of the Sword Pavilion was opened on the second day to welcome the Prime Minister Gongsun Hong, who inspected Bashu on behalf of the Son of Heaven. The land of Shu restored the setting of Ba County and Shu County, and Pang Yi and another general served as the county guard. The Qin State implemented a lenient policy towards the surrendered Shu State, focusing on the peace of the people, but only allowing them to restore the taxes of the year, and everything else was as usual. At the same time, the young King Shu was not abused, but was all taken care of.

The opening of the Bashu Road is definitely of extraordinary significance to the Qin State, which unexpectedly brought Lingnan, which had been isolated for four years, into contact with the Qin State again. Han Xin, who was far away in Xianyang, couldn't wait to go south in person and led the army into Shu to the southernmost tip of Bashu.

For this land, which has consumed almost all the energy of the entire empire, the Qin people have always had very complicated feelings. The First Emperor's two expeditions to South Vietnam were nothing more than to satisfy his personal never-ending desires, not to benefit the country. Even if all of them occupied this wild land and set up four counties of Minzhong, Guilin, Nanhai, and Xiangjun there, Great Qin also paid for the deaths and injuries of 200,000 soldiers. In order to support such a large army, the Qin State had to recruit nearly a million people to dig spiritual canals and transport grain and grass, which also plunged the exhausted Qin Empire into a catastrophe.

If it is said that the first emperor was reckless in his military force, the biggest mistake he made was undoubtedly to start a war against Baiyue. The northern drive of the Xiongnu could still maintain the tranquility of the northern frontier, which was conducive to the consolidation of Qin's rule, but the southern conquest of Baiyue was a huge face-saving project, and in the end the Qin Empire suffered for his face.

Zhao Tuo obeyed Ren Huan's last orders, and after hearing about the chaos in the Central Plains, he blocked the road to the north, and at the same time blocked the news from the Central Plains, so as not to cause panic among the soldiers. On the other hand, he designed to kill the Qin officials of Guilin, Nanhai, and Xiangjun one after another, and replaced them with his confidants, firmly holding the three counties of Lingnan in his hands.

After the news of the defeat of the Qin army in the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu knocked on the pass, and Hu Hai was killed by Zhao Gao, and Zhao Tuo concluded that the Qin state had perished after receiving these news. So he announced the news of the destruction of the Qin State to the whole army, and he himself was enthroned as the king with the support of his cronies, with the capital of Panyu and the founding name of Nanyue, imitating the Qin system and setting up three dukes and nine secretaries.

When the Qin people living in Lingnan heard of the destruction of the Qin State, they all sang sad songs and sacrificed to their homeland to the north with Qin rites. Because they were thousands of miles apart and the roads were cut off, the Qin people also died of the desire to return to the country, and they survived in Lingnan with peace of mind. Seeing this, Zhao Tuo gradually relaxed and no longer restricted the freedom of the soldiers too harshly.

But what happened after that was beyond Zhao Tuo's expectations, instead of perishing, the Qin State defeated Xiang Yu under Xianyang City and recaptured the land of Guanzhong. Zhao Tuo was afraid that his soldiers would know that the morale of the army would fluctuate, and everyone would want to return, so he issued a strict order to prohibit the spread of news, and those who dared to commit crimes would be killed. At the same time, all the plank roads in the north were burned down, and the connection with Chu was cut off.

His idea is very simple, since the soldiers can't return to their homeland, they can only follow him to the end. He has 400,000 elites in his hands, and he can attack and retreat and defend, and he can completely divide Lingnan and be a free prince.

Even if you are the emperor, it is not impossible!
