Chapter 124: Sichuan Shu

Xiliang, Dong Zhuo is playing the filial piety of his father and son, but Han Sui and his gang are intriguing at this time, Han Sui is not ordinary.

Han Sui's real name is Han Yue, the word is about the text, in September of the first year of Guanghe, Jincheng Taishou Yin Hua died in office., Han Yue because he was Yin Hua's former official, so he and Jiang Ying and others chased Yin Hua's body to Yaoqiu, and published a stone to commemorate his exploits.

In the first year of Zhongping, Han Yue went to Beijing to handle official business, the general He Jin heard his name for a long time, and met with him, Han Yue persuaded He Jin to kill the eunuchs, He Jin did not listen, Han Yue watched in Beijing, and felt that sooner or later there would be chaos, so he asked to return to Liangzhou.

In November of the first year of Zhongping, the Qiang Beigong Boyu rebelled and took the then Liangzhou overseer Bian Yun and Liangzhou engaged in Han Yue as hostages and refused to return them.

Liangzhou Assassin Shi Zuochang sent Gai Xun to lead the army to garrison Ayang County, and the rebels saw that Ayang County could not be breached, so they turned to attack Jincheng County, killed Chen Yi, the Taishou of Jincheng County, coerced Bian Zhang and Han Yue to join the gang, and elected Bian Zhang as the leader.

Bian Zhang led the army to surround the state to govern Ji County, Zuo Chang asked Gai Xun for help, Gai Xun led the reinforcements to Ji County, reprimanded Bian Zhang and others for betraying the imperial court, Bian Zhang, Han Yue said: "If Zuo Chang had listened to you earlier and sent troops to rescue Jincheng County, maybe we could still reform our ways, but now we are guilty and can no longer surrender." ”

So, Bian Zhang and others wept and left, lifted the siege of Ji County, and then surrounded the Xia Yusuo Department of the Qiang Commander. And Bian Yun changed his name to Bian Zhang, and Han Yue was officially renamed Han Sui at this time.

In the second year of Zhongping, that is, in March this year, Han Sui led tens of thousands of cavalry to enter Kou Sanfu under the banner of killing eunuchs, and invaded the garden mausoleum, and at this time, the war between Beijing and China was hot, and Emperor Ling was seriously ill and could not be governed, so there was only a place to defend himself, so Han Sui's strength expanded a lot, and he had 100,000 people in a short time, and the world was in turmoil.

On the side of the Xiliang rebels, it was originally headed by Beigong Boyu, and after making Bian Zhang the leader, Beigong Boyu's plan to support the puppet quickly failed, and Bian Zhang's means were powerful, and he mastered part of his strength in a short period of time, so that Beigong Boyu could only bow down and accept his fate.

And the most powerful is Han Sui, who is now tied with Bian Zhang, seeing that if this continues, sooner or later it will be merged, and at this time, Dong Zhuo is here.

Dong Zhuo's own strength and prestige are not comparable to Han Sui, and the internal instability at this time is not good, so in the face of Dong Zhuo, he has a concession attitude.

At this time, Han Sui had the idea of uniting with the Xiliang Hao clan Ma clan, after the Xiliang Ma clan was General Fubo, but it was not the main branch, so it was only a local wealthy clan, but Ma Teng also had the ability, the force was extraordinary, and his reputation in the local area was not small.

Not long ago, the DPRK sent troops to Yongzhou, and Xiliang has been secretly communicating with Zhang Lu of Hanzhong Wudou Rice Road was easily destroyed by the new Hanzhong Commander Zhang Jiao, and the DPRK and China were mighty, so that Han Sui was frightened.

At this time, he already had the intention of surrendering, and someone sent him a message, but Dong Zhuo also sent him a message, and now he is facing it seems to be a good choice, Han Sui really wants to see how the soldiers of the Northern Regions are, just in time for the great dynasty in the middle of the dynasty, and ordered the Quartet Liehou, the assassin Shi, and the Taishou to enter Beijing, this time it is impossible to send an ordinary person to understand things that are too deep, and sending Ma Chao, the concubine of the Ma family, is indeed a lot more reassuring.

"Meng Qi must make the momentum bigger, don't be afraid to spend money, and do a good job of gifting." Han Sui was instructing at this time, he was already Ma Chao's father-in-law, so naturally he had to say everything thoroughly.

It is said that at this time, Ma Teng didn't really want Ma Chao to go to Luoyi, but since Han Sui agreed, Ma Teng would not have nothing to do, so he followed, although his son was still young and still a child, but both sides were accompanied by adults, but Ma Chao went as a representative of the Xiliang warlords.

"But there is still a charter for this, and if you want to go, you should set off as soon as possible, maybe you can catch up with the big court meeting." At this time, Ma Teng took over the conversation and suggested.

"Yes, at this time, when you see the bottom line clearly." Han Sui nodded and said, he basically has no loyalty to the imperial court, otherwise he would not be the lord of the rebel army, waiting for the price to sell.

"I think we're still making a big noise, hasn't there been news recently that Dong Zhuo and Bian Zhang are going to form an alliance?" At this time, Ma Teng reminded that although marriage is very unreliable, it is also the most reliable way to form an alliance, at least at this time, the two parties are intimate.

"Then I'll go on the road with the little boy tomorrow." On Ma's side, it was the young general Pang De who was dispatched, and Pang De's skills were beyond the reach of ordinary people, and the danger was not very worrying.

"It's okay, since General Pang is going in person, then there is a choice of gifts." Han Sui thought about the Ma family's talents, and at this time frowned slightly and said, "Come to the treasury in the evening to get gift lists and gifts, Brother Ma and I will discuss what things to bring?" ”

……

Hanzhong, Jianmen Guanzhong, has also been recaptured by Zhang Jiao at this time, his Taoism and wisdom are beyond Zhang Lu's reach, plus the Yellow Turban is also full of talents, Wudou Midao was easily swept away, and Zhang Lu has also been escorted to Beijing.

After all, they are the descendants who are left behind, everyone is in the same vein, and Zhang Jiao can't dispose of it without permission.

"Big brother, there hasn't been any movement in that part of Shuzhong recently." At this time, Zhang Bao accompanied Zhang Jiao, and suddenly asked, "But then again, Sichuan Shu does have good generals." ”

To tell the truth, there is a danger in Sichuan and Shu, as long as there is no civil strife in Shu, there is no need for too powerful generals and celebrities, only one good general is needed, and it can be defended.

The Yizhou scholars are also complete in civil and military affairs, although there are no top civil and military generals, but the second-class batches are stacked in batches, and the total number is there, if you unite as one, it is very easy to support the princes all the way.

In addition, there is no huge number of people who have moved into the party in Yizhou now, and the internal party struggle is not fierce, in the case of unity, Yizhou's combat effectiveness is still very strong, at least there is no pressure to fight those barbarians, and even if someone takes the lead, the Yizhou Shi clan unites, then it is the Central Plains War, Yizhou carries the princes of the strong point, and there is no difficulty in defending. Beautiful

That's why there is that sentence: The world is not chaotic in Shu first, and the world is in chaos, and Shu is not governed.

In this case, the people of Yizhou are happy to sit on the natural risk, laughing at the world, anyway, they don't have the idea of sealing the territory, looking at the lively and other high-ranking officials, paddling for more than ten years, and finally how good it is to be a high-ranking official, Yizhou scholars said that they and others are content and happy.

Shudi, from ancient times to the present, including the Shu Road is difficult and the Three Gorges is dangerous.

The Shu people, starting from the "migration of Qin people to ten thousand homes" to enrich Bashu, and since then have taken root and settled in Shu.

Shu culture also entered the Shu region and collided and integrated with the Bashu culture of the pre-Qin Dynasty, forming a new culture that was different from the original ancient Shu culture.

Although Shu is located in the southwest corner, but its strategic location is unique, has always been a place for soldiers to fight, the land of Bashu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, grain and grass are sufficient, so whenever the unified dynasty collapses, the uprising and secession here will be moved, have erected flags, declared independent autonomy into anarchy; By the time the world was settled and the smoke had cleared, the basin nested in the mountains had not yet been incorporated into the unified territory, and it was up to the rulers to make the last effort to recover it.

Because the road to Bashu is very steep, it is generally to calm this place when the overall situation has been decided in the end.

The sword gate is broken, the Hengjiang River is absolutely broken, the song of Min'e, don't be Jinchuan; The people of Shu are unheard, and they are outstanding.

Sichuan and Shu have always been outstanding people, heroes, the granary of the world, and a strategic place; The Shu people also have the spirit of being strong, thoughtful, daring to create, persevering, and hard-working.

This is the special geographical location and topographical characteristics of the land of Sichuan and Shu, the topography of Sichuan and Shu is unique, divided into two major parts of the edge of the mountain and the bottom of the basin, from the military point of view, the mountains are steep, the barrier is difficult to pass, since ancient times, there is "Shu road difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky" said, and the western Sichuan Plain suitable for farming is millions of acres, has always been called "the country of abundance", "Gaozu became the emperor because of it", therefore, Shu has the military and economic advantages of easy to defend and difficult to attack and sufficient grain and grass.

The special geographical location and topographical characteristics of the land of Sichuan and Shu led to the collapse of the unified dynasty, and the land of Shu was enough to be independent of the Central Plains of the world, and it was unique, although it was unable to forge ahead, it was enough to protect itself; When the world is about to be decided, Shu is located in the southwest and has nothing to do with the overall situation, so it is often included in the territory in the end.

Generally speaking, the process of pacifying the world has always been from the center to the periphery, and the land of Bashu was finally pacified because of its geographical remoteness, so this is also echoed that "the world has been ruled by Shu but not governed".

However, why is there "chaos before the world is chaotic"? The so-called chaos, that is, rebellion, and not only a rebellion at one time and one place, but a large-scale rebellion, under the rule of the great unified empire, rebellion is endless, and the cause is mostly the people can not bear the endless oppression.

The first rebellion in Shu does not mean that this place is oppressed and rebellious, but that it is easier to form large-scale rebellions here, especially when the dynasty rule enters the evening scene.

The rebellions that have formed a scale in the past dynasties all started from one point and spread rapidly, but this is only one aspect of its causes, and the rebellion must become large-scale, of course, it is inseparable from the empathy of the people everywhere and the corresponding uprisings, on the other hand, it is also because the suppression of the empire is relatively loose and weak, so it will grow and grow rapidly.

The centralized autocratic empire extended its rule to every corner, carried out relatively indiscriminate political and economic grabbing, and planted the seeds of a mass response, and subject to the constraints of resources, the empire could not have unlimited repressive power, and the central empire needed to allocate its repressive resources according to its specific strategic goals, so an imbalance in the distribution of power was formed within the empire, and once there was a rebellion, it was relatively easier to develop and grow where the repressive force was weak.

For example, the Han Empire's strategic goal was first of all the security of the regime, and for this reason, it often deployed its military forces mainly around the imperial capital, which is the so-called "internal emphasis and external lightness", and the subsequent successive dynasties ruled as well.

Therefore, once the local armed forces are large, it is easy to form a trend of "internal light and external heavy", and at this time, the fortune of the dynasty will almost come to an end.

Moreover, another strategic goal of the Central Plains Dynasty is to prevent foreign invasion, for which it is necessary to deploy forces on the routes that foreign enemies may invade, in order to prepare for prevention, the history of the Chinese Dynasty, and the coveting and intrusion of the nomads from the north have always been, most of the time, have to use the main military force to prevent the invasion of the nomads, and for this purpose to build numerous fortifications, maintain smooth communication routes, and even have to place the imperial capital in front, in order to facilitate the mobilization and transfer of manpower and material resources.

For most of the period, the land of Sichuan and Shu was far away from the center of the dynasty and in the rear of the battle line against the northern nomads, and the military force deployed here was relatively weak, so it was the norm.

Therefore, once a rebellion occurs, the local officers and troops are often insufficient, and in addition the distance is far away, it is impossible to mobilize troops relatively quickly, and this provides conditions for the rapid spread and growth of the rebellion in one place and one place.

Therefore, even if there are occasional incidents in Shu and other places for similar reasons, it is easier to succeed because of the weak force of repression, and in addition, the unique economic, social and cultural environment of Shu has also provided a boost to the "Shu first chaos".

Since the Qin exterminated Shu, the land of Sichuan and Shu has been completely integrated into a unified cultural and governance order, so that today, however, the road is difficult, in and out of Sichuan and Shu, often through the months, so, in daily life, the land of Bashu has formed a relatively independent and self-sufficient regional economy, society, and culture, and has closer economic, social and cultural exchanges within the region.

Therefore, Yang Yi will urgently solve Hanzhong, the gateway to Shu, when the world is undecided, after all, she doesn't have much time, if there is a problem in Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, and Jiaozhou, the army is unimpeded, and it is easy to solve it, but Shu is not good.

Once it is divided, it will cost ten times and a hundred times the cost at this time to get through, after all, the Shu family also has good talents, and with the good soldiers and strong generals under Yang Yi now, in the face of the world's heroes, they are not necessarily at an advantage.

This court meeting is a temptation, what is the attitude of the nobles and nobles of the Han Dynasty and the officials of the various places, the four northern states can now be regarded as her sphere of influence, although it is not so stable, but as long as Yang Yi's soldiers have been so strong, then there will be no chaos.

Although the newly established Yongzhou has the Hongnong Yang clan as an obstacle, in the face of the interests of the scholars in the state and Guanzhong, the Hongnong Yang clan does not dare to raise the anti-flag, it will not cause much obstacle.

Now it is worrying about Jingzhou, Yizhou and Xiliang, these three places have unique advantages, Xiliang people dare to fight, Jingzhou people are rich, Yizhou is dangerous, how this world is, it also depends on the performance of the three Shi clans in this great court, so countless old guys are ready to come and see, whether the Shi clan in these three places bow down or maintain the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty?
